<br>

[MOLINA]<br>

<br>

Am I dying mama? <br>

<br>

[MOTHER]<br>

<br>

Hooo! Listen to him! A good son doesn't die before his mother. <br>

You are going to see me off, thank you very much, and I am going <br>

to be waiting for you with a good warm shawl. <br>

<br>

[MOLINA]<br>

<br>

I'm so sick, Mama! <br>

<br>

[MOTHER]<br>

<br>

A good son sees his poor old mother through her old age; he doesn't <br>

leave her for a tummy ache! <br>

<br>

[MOLINA]<br>

<br>

You're not old...You're still beautiful. <br>

<br>

[MOTHER]<br>

<br>

I bet you say that to all the girls! <br>

<br>

[MOLINA]<br>

<br>

There are no girls, Mama... I have brought you such shame! <br>

<br>

[MOTHER]<br>

<br>

No Luis, only if you did something cruel, or uncaring... <br>

You could never shame me <br>

There, I've told you so <br>

Many things confuse me <br>

But this I know <br>

Let the neighbors gossip <br>

At the mention of your name <br>

You have never brought me shame <br>

I know some mamas have roughnecks <br>

Who never bring them joy <br>

Thank God, you're not that kind of boy! <br>

I know that you're different <br>

I don't really care <br>

I would never change a hair <br>

You like this Valentin, don't you? <br>

<br>

[MOLINA]<br>

<br>

To him, I'm a silly window dresser. <br>

That's all I am to everyone but you! <br>

<br>

[MOTHER]<br>

<br>

Hoo! What nonsense! <br>

Some other mamas have children <br>

Whose secrets hurt them so <br>

But you have no secrets, I already know <br>

And...you could never shame me <br>

Let me say out loud <br>

I've a son, a loving son, <br>

Who makes me proud...<br>

<br>
