:18:04
I imagine you were making some money
for yourself as well?
:18:09
It doesn't work that way.
:18:12
The clubs pay
the Ministry of Culture directly.
:18:14
All we got was meal money.
:18:16
You know you can make a lot more
money if you weren't in Cuba.
:18:20
It's not about the money.
:18:22
It's about the music.
:18:24
They let you play the kind of music
that you wanted.
:18:27
American jazz and Gershwin and Ellington--
:18:30
You're always taking a risk because in
Cuba you never know where the line is.
:18:36
You can play Gershwin once too often.
:18:39
Not being able to play Gershwin
does not constitute persecution.
:18:43
It is if they decide it's
counter-revolutionary and you're put in jail.
:18:47
In Cuba you live with that fear every day.
:18:49
Someone might come to you,
your house, your family...
:18:52
...and hurt you because of a song.
:18:55
Just a song.
:18:58
And that is persecution.
:19:01
If you felt that strongly about it...
:19:05
...why didn't you defect earlier?
:19:09
I was about to. I had it all planned out.
:19:13
But you stayed.
:19:17
Let's go!
:19:23
Life has it's own plan.
:19:25
Let's go!
:19:28
C'mon!
:19:30
C'mon, let's go!
:19:31
I'm here, let's go. The bus is coming!
:19:35
C'mon, what are you waiting for?
:19:39
If you don't get this one,
there won't be another bus for hours!
:19:43
-I'm with him.
-C'mon!
:19:47
I've been here all along, right here.
:19:50
She's with me.
:19:52
She's the love of my life.
:19:59
By the way, what's your name?
