Let me see it again

ABUELA CLAUDIA
We kept it safe

USNAVI
So we survived the night, what happens today?

ABUELA CLAUDIA
A third for you

USNAVI
Uh huh uh huh
uh huh uh huh

ABUELA CLAUDIA
A third for me

USNAVI
No pare sigue sigue

ABUELA CLAUDIA
The rest for Sonny-
And with our share of the money
And with our share of the money-
Dream of the seaside air
See me beside you there
Think of the hundreds of stories we will share
You and I

USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA
Ay

ABUELA CLAUDIA
Now you can sell your store
Open a bar by the shore
I've told you hundreds of stories about home
Make some more

USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA
More

USNAVI
Yo! I know just where to go
There's a little beach named Playa Rincon
With no roads, you need a rowboat or motorbike
To reach this beach and it's a stone's throw from home
My folks' home
Before I was born
Before they passed on
And left me on my own, in New York, with the grocery store
They would talk about home I listened closely for the way they whispered to each other
'Bout the warmer winter weather
Inseparable, they even got sick together
But they never got better
Passed away that December
And left me with these memories like dyin embers
From a dream I can't remember
Ever since then it's like another day deeper in debt
With different dilemmas,
The bodega's a mess
I'll be seeing less of Vanessa
Abuela, I don't know how I can keep it together

ABUELA CLAUDIA
Remember the story of your name
It was engraved on a passing ship on the day your family came
You father said "Usnavi"
That's what we'll name the baby

USNAVI
It really said "US Navy," but hey
I worked with what they gave me okay

ABUELA CLAUDIA
They'd be so proud of you today

USNAVI
Then by the end of July

ABUELA CLAUDIA
Uh huh uh huh
Uh huh uh huh

USNAVI
Out where the sea meets the sky

ABUELA CLAUDIA
No pare sigue sigue!

USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA
Think of the hundreds of stories we'll create
You and I

ABUELA CLAUDIA
Ay
We'll find your island-

USNAVI
My island sky

ABUELA CLAUDIA
Ay, find your island-

USNAVI
And whatever we do it's

USNAVI/ABUELA CLAUDIA
You and I!

CAMILA
Oh my God enough!
Now you listen to me

NINA
Mom...

CAMILA
Carajo, I said enough
I'm sick of all this fighting

KEVIN
Cami...

CAMILA
Yapapapapa
I think you've said enough
Now listen to what I say
What I say goes
(to Kevin) Papi, you've pushed us all away

KEVIN
I'm trying to...

CAMILA
I don't wanna hear it!
We make decisions as a family
And throwing Benny out like that?
You sound just like your father
We both know what a son of a bitch he was
You think it all comes down to you

KEVIN
Cami, let's talk about it

CAMILA
No no no no no!
No no no no no!
No you don't!
When you have a problem you come home
You don't go off and make matters worse on your own
One day you're gonna come back home
And you're not gonna find me waiting anymore

KEVIN
I'm sorry...

CAMILA
(to Kevin) Huh. Damn right you're sorry.
(to Nina) So you stayed out all night

NINA
Mom...

CAMILA
I'm talking now
You scared us half to death
You know that right?

NINA
I'm sorry-

CAMILA
Don't apologize to me
You save it for your father

NINA
What?

CAMILA
Look at your father
He doesn't sleep when you're gone
He's worked his whole life to help you go farther
And he can't admit when he's wrong
Now who does that remind you of?
You two deserve each other
For months you've lied to us
What did we do to make you think we wouldn't do anything and everything for you?
When you have a problem you come home
You don't run off and hide from your family all alone
You hear me?
When you have a problem you come home
As long as we're alive, you're never on your own
Leave Benny
Take Benny
It doesn't make any
Difference, as long as you come home

KEVIN
Camila!

CAMILA
No no no no no!
Enough lying
Enough screaming
I'm done trying and I'm leaving it up to you
It's up to you
I'll see you both back home
Enough!

DANIELA
Hey!
Hey!
What's this tonteria that I'm seeing on the street?
I thought I'd never see the day...
Since when are Latin people scared of heat?
When I was a little girl
Growing up in the hills of Vega Alta
My favorite time of year was Christmas time!
Ask me why

CARLA
Why?

DANIELA
There wasn't an ounce of snow
But, oh, the coquito would flow
As we sang the aguinaldo
The carnaval would begin to grow
Business is closed, and we're about to go
Let's have a carnaval del barrio!

Without having somebody shove you

SONNY

SONNY

USNAVI
Yes!
Maybe you're right, Sonny
Call in the coroners
Maybe we're powerless, a corner full of foreigners
Maybe this neighborhood's changing forever
Maybe tonight is our last night together, however
How do you wanna face it?
Do you wanna waste it, when the end is so close you can taste it?
Y'all could cry with your head in the sand
I'm a fly this flag that I got in my hand

Roll down your windows
Turn up your radios
Un momento, por favor
Atencion
Atencion
Please drive slow
Let everybody know
Abeula Claudia passed away
At noon today

USNAVI
She was found and pronounced at the scene
She was already lying in bed
The paramedics said
That her heart gave out
I mean, that's basically what they said
They said a combination of the stress and the heat
Why she never took her medicine, I'll never understand
I'd like to think she went out in peace
With pieces of bread crumbs in her hand
Abuela Claudia had simple pleasures
She sang the praises of things we ignore
Glass Coke bottles, bread crumbs, a sky full of stars
She cherished these things
She'd say "Alabanza"
Alabanza means to raise this thing to God's face and to sing
Quite literally "praise to this"
When she was here, the path was clear
And she was just here
She was just here...

In this album, there's a picture
Of the ladies at Daniela's
You can tell it's from the 80s by the volume of their hair
There's Usnavi, just a baby
'87, Halloween
If it happened on this block
Abuela was there
Every afternoon I came
She'd make sure I did my homework
She could barely write her name
But even so
She would stare at the paper and tell me,
"Bueno,
Let's review.
Why don't you tell me everything you know?"
In this album there's a picture
Of Abuela in Havana
She is holding a rag doll
Unsmililng, black and white
I wonder what she's thinking
Does she know that she'll be leaving
For the city on a cold dark night?
And on the day they ran
Did she dream of endless summer?
Did her mother have a plan?
Or did they just go?
Did somebody sit her down and say,
"Claudia, get ready,
To leave behind everything you know."
Everything I know
What do I know?
In this folder there's a picture
Of my high school graduation
With a program, mint condition
And a star beside my name
Here's a picture of my parents
As I left for California
She saved everything we gave her
Every little scrap of paper
And out lives are in these boxes
While the woman who held us is gone
But we go on, we grow
So
Hold tight, Abuela, if you're up there
I'll make you proud of everything I know
Thank you, for everything I know

PIRAGUA GUY
It's hotter than the islands are today
And Mr. Softee's truck has broken down!
And here comes all his customers my way
I told you, I run the town!
Piragua, Piragua
1.25, Piragua
Piragua, Piragua
2.25, Piragua
New block of ice, hike up the price
Lai lo le lo lai, lai lo le lo lai
Blackouts are nice, blackouts are nice
Lo le lo lai
Keep scraping by
Piragua!

VANESSA
So I got you a present
I went downtown to get it
You doing anything tonight?

USNAVI
Cleaning

VANESSA
You're done for the day

USNAVI
No way

VANESSA
Cuz we got a date

USNAVI
Okay

VANESSA
Before you board that plane
I owe you a bottle of cold champagne

USNAVI
No

VANESSA
Yeah, cold champagne

USNAVI
Damn, the bottle's all sweaty and everything
You went and got this?

VANESSA
Pop the champagne

USNAVI
I don't know if we have coffee cups
Or plastic cups
I think Sonny has the cups-

VANESSA
Tonight we're drinking straight from the bottle
Usnavi?

USNAVI
Yeah?

VANESSA
Daniela told me what you did for me
And it's honestly the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me
Now what can I say or do to possibly repay you for your kindness?

USNAVI
How do you get this gold shit off?

VANESSA
Usnavi!

USNAVI
Yeah!

VANESSA
Before we both leave town
Before the corner changes
And the signs are taken down
Let's walk around the neighborhood and say our goodbyes
Usnavi, are you alright?

USNAVI
I'm fine, I'm tryin'a open this champagne
See the twisty thing is broken
But I'm gonna open this damn champagne

VANESSA
Let me see it

USNAVI
No, I got it

VANESSA
Yo, Usnavi, drop the champagne

USNAVI
I mean you went to all this trouble to get us a little bubbly-

VANESSA
And it's gonna be okay

USNAVI
I'm sorry, it's been a long day

VANESSA
You oughta stay

USNAVI
What?

VANESSA
You can use that money to fix this place

USNAVI
Ha ha, very funny

VANESSA
And it's not like Sonny's got role models-

USNAVI
Role models?

VANESSA
Stepping up to the plate

USNAVI
Yo, what are you talking about?

VANESSA
I'm just saying, I think your vacation can wait

USNAVI
Vacation? Vanessa, you're leaving too

VANESSA
I'm going down to West 4th Street
You can take the A

USNAVI
What are you trying to say?

VANESSA
You're leaving the country and we're never gonna see you again

USNAVI
What are you trying to say?

VANESSA
You get everyone addicted to your coffee and off you go

USNAVI
Vanessa, I don't know why you're mad at me

VANESSA
I wish I was mad.
(She kisses him)
I'm just too late.

BENNY
When the sun goes down
You're gonna need a flashlight
You're gonna need a candle-

NINA
I think I can manage that

BENNY
When you leave town
I'm gonna buy you a calling card

NINA/BENNY
Cuz I am falling hard for you

NINA
I go back on Labor Day

BENNY
And I will try to make my way

BENNY/NINA
Out west to California

BENNY
We've got this summer

NINA
And we've got each other
Perhaps even longer

BENNY
When you're on your own
And suddenly without me
Will you forget about me?

NINA
I couldn't if I tried

BENNY
When I'm all alone and I close my eyes

BENNY/NINA
That's when I'll see your face again

BENNY
And when you're gone
You know that I'll be waiting
When you're gone

NINA
But you're here with me right now

BENNY
We'll be working hard, but if we should drift apart

NINA
Benny-

BENNY
Lemme take this moment just to say

NINA
No, no-

BENNY
You are gonna change the world someday

NINA
I'll be thinking of home

BENNY/NINA
And I'll think of you every night
At the same time

Bolero Singer:
No te vayas...
Si me dejas...
Si te alejas de mi...
Seguiras en mis recuerdos para siempre...
Para siempre...
Para siempre...
Para siempre...
Para siempre...

Usnavi:
Lights out on Washington Heights
and now the crack of dawn the blackout
goes on, and on, and on...
Sonny's out back sortin' the trash
as I think about the past
with the sack full of cash...
Abuela really wanted me up on the beach
with margaritas in my reach,
but soon that's how it's gonna be...
imagine me leavin' today
on a seven-forty-seven
boardin' JFK.

Vanessa:
I'll be downtown
It won't be long now

Usnavi:
There's a breeze of the Hudson
and just when you think you're
sick of living of here the memory
floods in...
the morning light off the fire escapes
the nights at Bennett Park blasting
big pun tapes

I'm-a miss this place to tell you the truth
Kevin- dispensin' wisdom
from his dispatch booth
and at dawn Vanessa at the Salon
we gotta move on
and who's gonna notice we're gone

When our jobs done
When the evening winds down to a crawl, son...
can I ease my mind when we're all done
When we've resigned in the long run
what do we leave behind
Most of all I miss Abuela whispers
doin' the lotto pick six every christmas
In five years when this whole city's
rich folks and hipsters, who's gonna
miss this raggedy little business

Graffiti Pete:
But it'd do. Haha! Great sunlight
this morning!

Sonny:
Yo, cuz! We fixed the grate!

Usnavi:
Yo, what'd I tell you about this punk!

Sonny:
You must commission an artist while
his rate is still good!

Graffiti Pete:
It's the first work in my new series!
(Pull down the grate. It says: ABUELA CLAUDIA PACIENCIA Y FE)
He hates it.

Sonny:
Shhh. He's formin' an artistic opinion.

Usnavi:
You did this last night?

Graffiti Pete:
Yeah...

Usnavi:
There goes my flight...

Sonny:
Wah?

Usnavi:
Graffiti pete, you're gonna
need some new cans
here some money finish up
there's been a slight change
of plans

Graffiti Pete:
Nice...

Usnavi:
Listen up guys you gotta
job, I'm not playing
You gotta go now tell the
whole block i'm staying!
Go ahead tell everyone ya know,Sonny...
Alright go!

Yeah, I'm a streetlight chillin'
in the heat!
I illuminate the stories
of the people in the street!
Some have happy endings
some are bitter sweet
but I know them all and that's what
makes my life complete!

Nina:
We're home!

Usnavi:
If it's not me, who keeps our legacies!
and who's gonna keep the coffee
sweet with secret recipes!
Abuela, rest in peace
you live in my memories
but Sonny's gotta eat
this corner is my destiny!

Sonny, Nina, Carla, Daniela:
We're home!

Usnavi:
Brings out the best in me-
we pass a test, we keep pressin'
and yes indeed!
You know I'll never leave!
You can close your eyes
that hydrant is beat
the siren is a breeze!
the fire escape is a leaf on a palm tree!

Community:
We're home!

Usnavi:
Abuela, I'm sorry...
but I ain't goin back
because I'm telling your story!
I'm not sayin' goodbye to your smilin'
I found my Island!
I've been on it this whole time
and I'm home!

Community:
We're home!

It's a wonderful life that I've known!
Merry Christmas ya ole building a loan and I'm home!

Cool breezes blow!

Usnavi:

Right after your birds have all flown!

Where the coffee's nonstop!
And I drop this hip-hop
and my Mom and Pop shop

Community:
We're home!

Usnavi:
Where people come
people go
Let me show all these
people what I know
There's no place like home!
Let me get the record straight...
I'm stepping to Vanessa
I'm gettin' the 2nd date
I'm home!

Community:
We're Home!

Usnavi:
Where it's a hundred in the shade!
But with patience and faith
we remain unafraid
I'm home!
You here that music in the air?
Take a train to the top the world
and I'm there I'm home!
