Anthony Ruivivar: Carlos Nieto

Quotes 

• Tyrone Davis : [as Kylie is crying]  Carlos. Get up, get up, get up. Get up!

  Carlos Nieto : [waking up]  Kylie?

  Tyrone Davis : No, some other baby got in here. How can you possibly sleep through that?

  Carlos Nieto : Okay, okay.

  [to Kylie] 

  Carlos Nieto : You need your formula, huh?

  Tyrone Davis : I'm gonna tell you what she needs. She needs her own apartment, man.

• Tyrone Davis : [to Carlos]  You've been to the adoption agency?

  Carlos Nieto : Yeah, man. Been there, registered. Ready to go.

  Tyrone Davis : Are you lying?

  Carlos Nieto : Hey, this is no dream for me either, you know?

  Tyrone Davis : It's nothing personal, you know. Did they tell you how long it's gonna take?

  Carlos Nieto : Oh, not long at all. You know, a few weeks, a month.

  Tyrone Davis : A month? No, no. You can't do it. You're going back to work today and I'm not babysitting.

  Carlos Nieto : I'm not asking you to. I got a nanny coming, all right? You don't have to lift a finger.

  Tyrone Davis : It's not that I wouldn't, all right? I mean, she's real cute and everything, it's just that I'm still healing up here.

  Carlos Nieto : I got it, I got it.

  Tyrone Davis : All right. I'm going back to bed.

  [to Kylie] 

  Tyrone Davis : You keep your trap shut there, little lady.

  Carlos Nieto : [to Kylie in a baby voice]  That's a mean old Uncle Ty. He got shot in his Mr. Wiggles.

• Tyrone Davis : [to Carlos about Kylie]  This child of yours needs a home, a real home which unfortunately you can't give her.

  Carlos Nieto : Who says I can't?

  Tyrone Davis : Oh, so... what you're not trying at all?

  Carlos Nieto : Yeah, I am but she's my kid. Have you seen what passes for parents out there, huh? Would I be any worse? I at least have the right to think about it.

  Tyrone Davis : Yeah, exactly, please. Think about it. Think about all of it. What about child-proofing the apartment? You better think about that before this little girl crawls out of a window or stick hers finger in a socket.

  Carlos Nieto : She wouldn't do that.

  Tyrone Davis : She wouldn't do that? You need to think this thing through, long-term, man. Seriously.
