lyrics

DAVID
I don’t know why you’re so upset.
We were supposed to meet at 5.

CAMILA
It’s 5:45.
5:45, David!
I thought we both wanted this.

DAVID
Honey, I told you,
the market was crazy!
I’m sorry!

CAMILA
You’re always sorry!

PEPITO
I smell… compromisos rotos. (I smell… broken promises.)

DAVID
Excuse me, what time do you close?

ANGIE
In fifteen minutes.

CAMILA
Ay, Dios mio!

ANGIE
Mmm… fourteen minutes.

DAVID
We’ll come back tomorrow.

CAMILA
I can’t come back tomorrow!
My client goes to court!
You know that!

DAVID
I know.
Can we see all of your puppies, quickly?

ANGIE
The puppies are overstimulated.

DAVID
Ha! So am I.

ANGIE
Is this funny to you?

DAVID
…No! No, I—
ANGIE
These are puppies! Rescues!
Think of what these puppies have been through?
Think of all the pain they have faced!
Please show some respect?
Have some compassion, will you? Please?!
It's late in the day!
They don't want to play!
They have been completely inundated!
The puppies are overstimulated!
