Cristela

I'm giving ama this box of old clothes

to donate at church.

How can you tell the difference between our old clothes

and our regular clothes?

This must have fallen in by mistake.

Why have a shirt with cats shooting lightning bolts?

It doesn't make any sense.

This is my lucky shirt, and I need it.

We're representing a landlord that doesn't rent to minorities.

So, you're representing a slumlord.

We're not supposed to call him that.

He's a landlord in a high-density neighborhood.

I don't get why you would work so hard

to help out someone like that.

I'm not.

I'm working hard for someone like me.

Mr. Culpepper's going to pick an intern

to sit at the counsel table during the trial.

So if you win you get to sit next someone

who doesn't like you.

It's kind of like I'm winning right now.

Okay, I'm ready to go to mass.

Oh, I wish I could drive you, but this work, ahh.

I'm helping Cris with work, ugh.

Yeah, I-I'd totally take you, but I-I just prayed.

I get it. No one wants to take me to mass.

Want to guess who I pray about when I'm down there?

Hey, ready, Natalia?

And besides, I already have a ride.

Yeah, and we better hurry

'cause Jesus always starts on time.

Alberto, no snacks at church today.

You chew with your mouth open.

But I get hungry.

Those communion wafers are so tiny.

I always got to go back for second helpings of Jesus.

It is the body of Christ.

It's supposed to fill your soul, not your stomach.

Body of Christ? More like his baby toe.

it's so quiet in here, you guys.

It's like library quiet.

I assume you're guessing.

Can you guys think when it's this quiet?

I would love the chance to find out.

Oh, yeah. Sorry.

You know, I can't think unless there's techno music playing.

Un-cssh, un-cssh, un-cssh, un-cssh,

sorry.

I didn't have enough time to finish the summaries

for the Sanderson trial.

Did you get all yours done, Josh?

Uh, Al... almost, I'm just double-checking.

I-I'm actually running a little bit behind, too.

Ha! I'm lying!

I totally finished the Sanderson summaries!

Guess what, I finished last night.

The only thing I'm double-checking

is this blank pad of paper.

Oh! Ha on you!

What are you doing, Josh?

Oh, I'm just putting Cris at ease so she's comfortable,

which she shouldn't be

because that is when this mild-mannered hunter feasts!

Oh, I'm at ease.

Yeah? I'm calm.

The kind of calm before the storm.

I'm the calm, you're the storm.

You about to get rained on, Josh!

Oh!

You want a pretend umbrella-Ella-Ella?

Already have one, have one, have one.

Oh-ho. And galoshes.

Oh, yeah?

Real galoshes! What?!

Yeah, that's right.

What the hell is going on?

I know what's going on.

I was right where you are three years ago.

I mean, I didn't have galoshes.

I wasn't a total nerd.

Yeah, well, uh, we'll see who's laughing a week from Tuesday.

Hmm.

It, it's supposed to rain.

Sorry, Ben. We'll keep it down. It's his fault.

He tends to get a little excited.

Oh, that's my point,

you interns can't turn on each other.

You know, for a delivery guy, you're really pushy.

Maddie, this is Ben Buckner.

He's an associate.

Didn't the suit say "not a delivery guy"?

Well, it sure didn't say "lawyer."

Am I right?

I thought I was friends with the guys I was interning with,

but then things got real ugly towards the end,

and now we don't even speak to each other.

It'd be great if you weren't speaking to us right now.

Hey, Josh, maybe we should listen to him.

I mean, you make a great point.

Go on, Ben.

That was it.

Oh, and, uh, can one of you interns mail all this?

You do it, Josh.

He was looking at you when he said it.

- Oh, no... -

I've read your work, and I have made my decision.

Oh, no, I haven't turned mine in yet, daddy.

Oh. Yeah. Right.

Um... yes.

Do you have it here now?

Not yet.

Well, whenever you can.

Um...

The intern who will be sitting at counsel table

for the Sanderson case is Cristela.

Ah!

Thanks, lightning bolt cats!

Pew, pew, pew!

Alberto, you really know your way around a kitchen.

Smells good.

Thank you.

You know, it's one of my favorite rooms.

Enchiladas? Ah!

Alberto and I made them.

To-together?

That's a little weird.

What's next, new shorts?

Wait, are those new shorts?

Yeah, these are my church shorts.

We're bringing supper to the choir.

And it's gluten free.

We think.

Yeah, we're gonna say it's gluten free.

Hey, what's up with Alberto and your mother?

I know.

He's spending time with ama, and no one's making him.

Wait, isn't the expression

"doing time with ama"?

Yeah, they're going to church. They're making dinner.

Both of them doing good things makes me nervous.

Mm.

Shh. Here he comes.

You guys captivated by my swagger?

You know, the trick is in the hips.

It's like my dancing.

You are still rocking those church shorts.

Yeah, just, uh, taking some food to the choir.

With ama.

Not weird at all.

I think it's sweet.

Good for you, Alberto. Thank you.

You know, um, I'd ask you for a hug,

but, uh, I don't want to ruin the roll I'm on.

Consider it your lucky day.

What?!

You know, I'd ask you for a kiss,

but I don't want to ruin the roll I'm on.

Consider it ruined.

Still got a hug, so whatever.

I know why he's being so nice to ama.

He's using her to get in good with Cristela.

Using a sad, lonely, old woman

to romance a sad, lonely, slightly younger woman.

Everyone involved is sad.

I'm not gonna let you ruin my mood today, Felix,

because I got a seat at the table

for the Sanderson trial.

- Oh, that's so great, Cris. -

Ah.

I knew you'd get it.

Really?

I didn't know you knew that I was that good.

I don't. I just know you're not white.

What's that got to do with it?

Uh, you know, the guy doesn't rent to minorities.

Of course your boss is gonna want a minority

sitting next to him.

Congratulations.

I didn't get the job because I'm Mexican.

I got the job because I'm the best person for it.

Who cares? You got the job.

Yay!

I care.

Yeah, but you care about dumb things.

You're right.

I care about you.

Look, if being Mexican helped you, then it helped you.

That never happens. We should be celebrating.

Everybody uses what they have.

There are two ways I could get a raise

at the call center,

wearing a flannel shirt or spaghetti straps.

Let me guess.

I got two raises last year.

Whoo-hoo!

And you're okay with her doing that?

Of course I am.

If her boss didn't like her shoulders,

then I wouldn't own a chain saw.

Taking every advantage you can get is the American way,
