Guy thinks I came to America
to trade one thief for another.
363
00:37:35,389 --> 00:37:38,829
- Cesar.
- I think you don't know who I am, senior.
364
00:37:38,989 --> 00:37:40,629
Whoever you are,
I know in Havana...
365
00:37:40,789 --> 00:37:43,949
...los Mafioso with balls of steel
could not own Cesar Castillo.
366
00:37:44,269 --> 00:37:46,349
So don't you try.
367
00:37:46,869 --> 00:37:49,429
You have much to learn,
Mambo King.
368
00:37:49,589 --> 00:37:51,469
Pray God you learn it...
369
00:37:51,669 --> 00:37:53,789
...before the banana boat
sails back to Cuba.
370
00:37:56,109 --> 00:37:59,709
- What are you, the captain?
- Cesar, are you crazy?
371
00:38:01,269 --> 00:38:04,069
I'm crazy, and your brain's so soft,
already you forgot Luis.
372
00:38:04,229 --> 00:38:07,029
It's lucky I have that
as a reminder for the rest of my life.
373
00:38:07,189 --> 00:38:10,189
Let's get out of here before these
pendejos give me a stroke.
374
00:38:10,349 --> 00:38:11,549
Here. Pay with that.
375
00:38:11,709 --> 00:38:14,989
Leave the business to me
and stick to your music, kid.
376
00:38:15,189 --> 00:38:17,469
"It was a fabulous night
at the Empire Ballroom...
377
00:38:17,629 --> 00:38:19,229
...as a new band came on the scene.
378
00:38:19,389 --> 00:38:21,189
The Latin rhythms filled the air as...
379
00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:23,389
...under the hip-swinging,
pelvis-grinding...
380
00:38:23,549 --> 00:38:25,829
...admiralship of their singer,
Cesar Castillo...
381
00:38:26,029 --> 00:38:29,469
...the fabulous Mambo Kings
made a fabulous debut".
382
00:38:29,669 --> 00:38:34,509
As Mr. Vanderbilt says, "He who can,
has the whole world with him.
383
00:38:34,669 --> 00:38:38,629
He who cannot,
walks the world alone".
384
00:38:38,789 --> 00:38:41,549
Miss Enchantment, if you wanna come
with a Mambo King...
385
00:38:41,709 --> 00:38:45,989
...I'll show you a little piece of Havana.
- Yeah, a very little piece.
386
00:38:46,749 --> 00:38:48,709
Bigger than your piece.

00:38:50,429 --> 00:38:51,789
Mr. Ricci.
388

the Empire Ballroom" debut?
389

I know. Everybody love you guys.
But it's such a shame.
390
00:38:58,189 --> 00:39:01,069
- What's the shame?
- My girl Luisa, she no call you?
391
00:39:01,229 --> 00:39:02,629
I got no call.
Who got a call?
392
00:39:02,789 --> 00:39:05,069

I put you in.
