Look.
:40:30
Read it.
:40:36
Did you pay $1,600?
:40:38
Yes, I've been saving
for this for years.

:40:41
And you know what?
I'm going to college.

:40:45
- This one?
- Yes.

:40:47
- Like that?
- I'm paying 200/0.

:40:49
They're gonna pay 800/0.
:40:51
Who?
:40:53
A company.
It's about $16,000.

:40:56
16,000 fucking dollars.
Imagine that.

:40:59
I've been waiting for this
since I got to this country.

:41:01
How are you gonna pay
for that?

:41:04
Well, see,
first I took an exam.

:41:07
I didn't do so well
in the oral exam,

:41:11
but I came in first
in the math test.

:41:14
But even then they didn't give me
a scholarship, and you know why?

:41:17
Simply because
I'm not an American citizen.

:41:20
But then...
:41:22
I found a private foundation
:41:24
belonging to two Mexican brothers,
with a lot of money.

:41:27
They had about 800
applications,

:41:30
and guess who they chose?
:41:37
And then?
:41:39
But now what I have to do
is show proof...

:41:41
that I paid 200/0
of the cost

:41:45
by the first day of the semester,
and I only have $1,600 to go.

:41:49
- And that's it.
- Really?

:41:51
- That's it.
- Congratulations.

:41:54
No, I can't believe it.
