Kevin's Aunts begin to shower him with affection.
AUNT#2
(affectionately)
No, pero mira esta bellesa de hombre.
KEVIN
(smiling and with humility)
Gracias Tia.
AUNT#2
Y tiene una piel suavecita como L'abuelita Tato.
GRANDMOTHER
Pero estas bien papi? Te ves un poco palido, has comido?
AUNT #1
Tienes hambre? Que querires? Un jugito? Un sandwichey?
KEVIN
(quickly)
No, no, no, estoy bien gracias.
AUNT#2
Seguro? Tienes que comer algo.
KEVIN
(reassuringly)
Seguro tia, te prometo que no tengo hambre. Mas tarde de pronto.
AUNT#2
Pero que dicha! Que cara tan hermosa!
Kevin smiles and runs his hand through his hair as he tilts his head down.
KEVIN
I'm sorry.
Kim sobs.
KIM
(quietly)
You were perfect.
KEVIN
(quietly)
But I'm not perfect.
Kim sobs.
KEVIN
(quietly)
You made me perfect in your head. I never said I was. I never was.
NARRATOR
I never will be. I'm sorry Kim. I'm so sorry. I loved you with all my heart and I still love you. I've changed over the years, but I never wanted to hurt you, I never wanted to break your heart. You've given me so much, you held my hand and walked me into a world and level of love I've never experienced before and will probably never experience again. I'm a fool, who doesn't know what he wants and I just hope that you can find a way to forgive me for my ignorance and immaturity. I'll never be able to express fully how beautiful and amazing you are and I'm so sorry for making you doubt for even a second that you were anything less than perfect.
KEVIN
Hey.
ANNA
Heyy.
Both smiling.
KEVIN
So, what do you want to do?
ANNA
Whatever you want to do.
KEVIN
I think our only plan should be to improvise.
ANNA
I like that.
She smiles and her eyes squint.
KEVIN
I know pig and I get it. School is one way, it's one path of many. Do what makes you happy and don't settle or think that you can't do anything you want to. And don't push us away, because in the end pig, we're family.
MONICA
Of course pig, never.
KEVIN
You know I got yo back till I die. And even then I'll phantom anybody that tires to cross you.
Monica smiles.
KEVIN(CONT'D)
You gave me everything pig, for Christ sakes you showed me how to be funny. You've made me laugh so much. Remember those midnight snack, stand-up comedy specials we did in the kitchen?
MONICA
Yeah.
KEVIN
Those are priceless.
Monica starts laughing, remembering as well.
KEVIN(CONT'D)
I love you with all my heart.
GALA
I know. I'm sorry though. How are you? Estas bien?
KEVIN
No, definitely not. I'm confused, I'm scared, I'm nervous, and excited and in my head. And I don't know what to do. I want things to be simple. I want them to be just us. I get too in my head and I don't know if I can be alone. I don't know if I can be without you. I don't want you to die. I don't want anyone to die. I don't want them to suffer.
A beat.
KEVIN(CONT'D)
I don't want to die.
GALA
We all will die, one day. Some sooner and some later, but don't worry about that. Okay? Don't worry.
Gala leans back to see Kevin's face. Kevin ashamed turns his face slightly away from her. Tears run down his face and his eyes are red and watery. Gala wipes a tear away.
GALA(CONT'D)
Be happy papi...Look at me,...just remember to love,...love so much, love yourself, love los abuelos, tus tias, love your loves, love your brother, your sister, your family. Love everything and everyone. Never let yourself lose sight of the real picture for too long. Do your best to be you and you won't fail...I promise.
