Cecilia: I don't need to.
Nina: Oooh, Somebody's jealous.

(That evening)
(At Uncle Roberto's house)
Uncle Roberto: I'm glad you finally got the job after many trials.
Morena: Yeah me too. We Thank God for that.
Uncke Roberto: You should call your dad to let him know you've gotten a job.
Morena: I would've done that except I don't have a phone.
Uncle Roberto: Hmmm, That isn't good. I'll see what I can do.
Morena: Thank you uncle.
(Morena goes to her room)
Aunt Maria: Darling, Don't tell me you're gonna buy a phone for her.
Uncle Roberto: Of course. She'll need it to be communicating with her dad and colleagues.
Aunt maria: But we can't be wasting money on her. Why don't you wait for her to get paid her first salary, then she can buy herself a phone.
Uncle Roberto: Why're you talking like this?
Aunt Maria: (sighs) I'm sorry, I'm just not comfortable with her in our house.
Uncle Roberto: I thought we've talked about this. Besides, Do you think it'll be easy for her? She's gonna be working all day and night just so she can make enough money to go back to school and further her education and here you are complaining.
Aunt Maria: Look, I'm just saying...We barely have enough for ourselves let alone her.
Uncle Roberto: Maria, What's wrong with you? Haven't I explained everything to you?!
Aunt Maria: You're shouting at me? You've never shouted at me before.
Uncle Roberto: (angrily) Ugh...
(He goes into his room)
Aunt Maria: I can't believe my husband shouted at me because of that girl, I'll have to do something. That girl has to leave this house!
