[Maggie's father, Oscar, walked out of the bridal shower when Maggie and Alex kiss]
You're just gonna walk out? After all this time, that's it?
I can't do this.
Can't do what? Tell me, please. What exactly have I done that is so offensive to you?
You spit in my face.
I spit in your face? For loving somebody? I don't understand. I don't get it.
I came to this country at nine years old. At eleven, I was working in a factory.
Yes, I know.
Do you?
Yeah.
Do you know I was the only Mexicano working alongside a bunch of white boys? Do you know that they would wait for me at night by the road and laugh and call me "wetback" and kick me until my ribs were broken?
What does this have to do–
With you being a lesbian? I worked to win their respect. Those same boys, when they grew up, elected me their sheriff. I endured for my children. So that you would never have to face that kind of hatred! So that you would belong!
I'm accepted for who I am. The world is different now.
Huh! They're building a wall to keep us out! Because in their minds, we're nothing but rapists and murderers! The only thing they hate more than a Mexicano, is a homosexual. The world is not different, my dear. Look, you can live any way you please. But don't ask me to witness it.
