| Nana: |

|
| Boxer: |

|
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Why

|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
I see her
first, Nana!
|
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
I need to
marry her, because I need a family. ‘Cause they
passed out—they die. I want to be a father.
|
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
Why
you want to have a family? I want a family, too! I need
to marry her! |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Let’s
fight for her. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
You my best
friend. Why we gonna fight for her?
|
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
You
scared to fight, Boxer? |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
I
not scared to fight. And I don’t want to fight. Cause
you my best friend and we like family. You like my brother. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
You
remember what happen to my little brother. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
I’m
remember when we used to be the three of us playing tug
‘o’ war with the snakes. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Sorry,
Boxer. Sorry for what I tell you—the fight thing. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
You
can have the female. You can marry her, Nana. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
What about
you?
|
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
I’m
gonna go look for one female. So you can go back to the
female, Nana. Go ahead. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Forget
the female. Let’s be like brothers, the rest of the
life. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
Let’s
share the female.
|
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Why we sharing
the female? All I want is a family. I’m remember
when my family pass away, long time ago, when I was
a baby. I say “So long.” I start growing up,
and I start doing bad things, going crazy and fighting
other eagles. I used to be so lonely doing bad things,
looking for family, friends. So one day I was flying
looking for a snake and I see another eagle in a tree.
I think she was a female. Then I go talk to her, but
it wasn’t a female. It was a male. And I said,
“Who are you?”
|
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
(remembering)
“I am Boxer. Who are you?”
|
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
“Nana.”
|
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
We
start talking about our families. When I was 2 years old
some hunters kill my Mom when she was in the nest. They
killed my dad too. I was a baby when the thing happened.
I was crying, crying. I was thinking about my Mom and
Dad when they got shot. I never forgot that day. My dad,
he used to take me in the afternoons to hunting, flying,
and when we see the snake or squirrels or rats, we grab
them and we take it back to the nest to eat. So that’s
where I learned that from my father. And my Mom, she used
to be all day in the nest, giving food to me. She made
snake soup, squirrel tomales with rice, birds asado, fish...
I learn all that from my parents. So then they die. So
now I’m going to be the rest of my life with no family
till I find a female and have a nice family with my wife
and my son and daughter. We’ll be rich, because I
will selling the snakes to get money to protect my family.
I will fix my children snake soup, and rat tomales. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
So
you going have a nice life for your family. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
You
gonna have same like me, or different. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
My
life is different than you, Boxer. Cause I don’t
care. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
I
know, Nana. You don’t care what happen to your family
and your life change. You need to stop getting in trouble,
to don’t get locked up in the cage. If you keep doing
bad things you going to the cage, so it’s no joke,
Nana. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
No,
I don’t wanna get in trouble, cause I don’t
wanna be in the cage. I’ma try to change my life. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
Just
do like me, don’t be in trouble. Cause I never get
in trouble. Just keep it cool. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Only
cause you told me I’ma do good to don’t be in
problems, don’t get shot, killed. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
And
my dreams one day is gonna be real. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Are
you sure if your dreams is gonna be real, or are you just
saying? |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
What
you mean, Nana? Everything I say is real, or is gonna
be real. Are you saying that I’m a liar? |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
Damn,
it’s a joke! |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
I
think what you was telling me that I was a liar. But I
never lie! |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|
(starts
laughing)
Don’t get mad, Boxer! |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
I’m
not mad. But I’m going to get the female. |
|
|
|
| Nana: |
|

for a female for me. And you—you get your female. |
|
|
|
| Boxer: |
|
Okay.
I’ma take a flight with you for you to get your own
female. And I can get my female. She’s waiting for
me.
(They start to fly. They see a hunter and they fly
higher and faster so they don’t get shot. The hunter
see the two eagles going up and the hunter was running
looking the two eagles. And he see the two eagles flying
