FADE IN: EXT. NEAR A HAYSTACK, DAY
AMOS
Pepina? Where's El Grande?
PEPINO
Señor Grampa, I think he's over behind the barn. He's hiding.
AMOS
Gall durn, Pepina! Hiding from what?
PEPINO
I don't know. I think he said something about the INS and Castro?
What is INS?
AMOS
Now, how should I know? I think it has something to do with taxes.
Go tell him to get over here.
PEPINO JOGS OVER TO THE BARN TO GET EL GRANDE. THEY BOTH COME BACK OVER TO AMOS.
PEPINO
Señor Grampa, here he is.
EL GRANDE
AMOS
Skip the small talk, son. Who's after you?
EL GRANDE
AMOS
Pepina, doesn't this duck speak any English?
PEPINO
No. El Grande only speaks in Spanish.
AMOS
Pepina, ask him if he actually saw anybody after him.
PEPINO ASKS EL GRANDE THE QUESTION IN SPANISH.
PEPINO
He said he thinks he saw Castro the other day stalking him.
AMOS
Castro? Is he kidding? What in blue blazes would Castro
be doing around here? Ask him if he is paranoid.
PEPINO ASKS EL GRANDE THE QUESTION IN SPANISH.
PEPINO
AMOS
Ask him if he will soon enroll in Harvard.
PEPINO ASKS EL GRANDE THE QUESTION IN SPANISH.
PEPINO
AMOS
Pepina, tell El Grande that if he doesn't quit lying I'll
call Castro personally and tell him where `Grande is. Then
he will have problems!
PEPINO INFORMS EL GRANDE OF AMOS' THREAT.
PEPINO
He said he will cease to fabricate manifestations of his mental activity
if you commit to the deletion of the pejorative comments from your
future speech.
AMOS
PEPINO
AMOS
Well, I guess I could call up cousin Zeke up near D.C. and try to get
him to pull a few strings.
