Quotes:
Marlon: Neighbor.
Louie Kritski: Neighbor? You're late with your rent, Marlon. I know, I know, Mommy's dying again, you had to send money. How many times is it this year Mamacita's almost croaked?
Marlon: Six. But you know, I am glad she is still with us.
Louie Kritski: Listen, why don't you insure the lady? This way when she decides to join that big Piņata party in the sky, you can use the insurance money to pay your rent. Know what I mean? What is it with you Latins, don't you have any pride?
Marlon: I got pride. I'm proud I live in a building. I'm proud I don't live in a cardboard box. I have an address I can't afford. I'm proud of that.
