Speaker A

Oh my God. Cabron. I'm so sorry. Can I help you? I'm so sorry. Hello, big spender.

Speaker A

It's rude to stare, senorita. I wasn't. I wasn't staring. I was, I was looking behind you.

Speaker A

Listen, senorita. You can look but no touch. Do I need to report you? Don't be ridiculous. I'm on my way home.

Speaker A

Okay, well, I'm going to go. Yeah, you should go. Excuse me? I said it's not that way.

Speaker A

It's not that way either. And you should go. Did I do [music] something? Do you have a problem?

Speaker A

I do have a problem. This is a local beach. We prefer when tourists don't stare [music] at us on weekends.

Speaker A

I'm so sorry. I hadn't realized it was a locals-only beach. I just wanted to swim.

Speaker A

You are lost, Miss America. No, I'm not. Are you sure you're okay? Yeah. Yeah?

Speaker A

I'm fine. I just, I'm just taking in these beautiful winding streets. Mhm. Mhm. You can't deny it. Why?

Speaker A

Am I distracting you? Or are you just going to admit it and ask for my help?

Speaker A

I'm fine. I just can't drink tequila. Maybe there was something in your drink. No. No, I'm okay.

Speaker A

Also, what are you doing? Are you stalking me? Oh, yes. You made such a strong impression. For having met me at the beach.

Speaker A

You're a fisherman? Mhm. Ah. It's my family business. I grew up on the water.

Speaker A

The fisheries on our island are suffering because of the tourism, and the commercial companies are hurting the island.

Speaker A

So, what about you? I'm a dancer. Exotic? What are you doing? Come on. I can help you if you can swim.

Speaker A

I can swim. Hey. You changed your mind pretty quick. [laughter] You couldn't stay away for more than two minutes?

Speaker A

No, I just like my phone back. This summer I wanted to try new things, you know?

Speaker A

Like it's the last summer I'll ever have. Mhm. Mhm. That's a good way to live.

Speaker A

Mhm. Right. Right, what up? Look, I'm sorry I didn't call you. What was next on your list?

Speaker A

Go to bed without brushing your teeth? Wait, what? Are you okay? What happened? Or to not eat your vegetables?

Speaker A

Mhm. I didn't call you because I'm not [music] safe to be around. Until things are settled with Carlos, I just... We have to be careful.

Speaker A

Okay? Or to make out with a hot stranger? I could pretend you're hot. I don't know. Look at our life skill.

Speaker A

Mhm. Sure, we have problems, but can I talk to you about something? We are more than happy with what we have.

Speaker A

We don't have what we want. Even Miss America ended up on my boat. Sometimes you just have to enjoy what you have while you have it.

Speaker A

Does that make sense? Being here, this place is so rich. Really made me think about where I want to be.

Speaker A

There's never been anywhere else on earth I want to be than right here. Dude, I think I'm in love.

Speaker A

Lianne, what happened? My father, it was the final straw. He signed with Redwin. I have two rare sclerosis.

Speaker A

Caused by that epilepsy. Lianne, my mom works for Redwin. What can we do? Is there, is there a treatment?

Speaker A

Yes and no. Medication helps, but it's never been consistent. Is surgery an option? Yes, but there's too much risk.

Speaker A

I could lose my memory. I'm so sorry. I just found out to leave, right?

Speaker A

What? But I just... Leave. I've never seen the sunrise. What do you mean? From the water.

Speaker A

I'm really sorry about not telling you about my mom. I really thought I could fix it.

Speaker A

It's okay. What are you doing? Let's go. We're leaving. No, no, we're not. No. No, please. Papa, I saw the sunrise for the first time.

Speaker A

[laughter] I want to stay here. I want to live. Sitting in a dark cave again.

Speaker A

Because you made darkness feel peaceful. I love you, Raya. But while there is a chance that we could save her and a chance she could have a normal life, I beg you to take it.

Speaker A

My memories come back to [music] me one by one. I feel like I could touch him.

Speaker A

What I once thought would be my last summer, my first and last sunrise, ended up being the beginning [music] of my life.
