00:00:05.730 --> 00:00:10.074 align:middle line:84%
"Doña Carlota" is
another true story.

00:00:10.074 --> 00:00:13.620 align:middle line:84%
Do I need to say
anything about this?

00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:15.895 align:middle line:90%
No.

00:00:15.895 --> 00:00:19.680 align:middle line:84%
In New Mexico-- and maybe
you get a lot of it here.

00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:23.380 align:middle line:84%
Every other day, somebody
sees the face of Jesus

00:00:23.380 --> 00:00:32.134 align:middle line:84%
in a watermelon and on
the window at Bentley's.

00:00:32.134 --> 00:00:34.122 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:34.122 --> 00:00:36.700 align:middle line:90%
You know what I'm talking about.

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:38.200 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.490 align:middle line:84%
Somebody takes out the
spare tire and just--

00:00:41.490 --> 00:00:43.086 align:middle line:90%
La Virgen de Guadalupe.

00:00:43.086 --> 00:00:45.030 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:49.750 align:middle line:84%
So it's not an unusual
event in New Mexico,

00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:53.280 align:middle line:90%
and in fact, it's too unusual.

00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:56.460 align:middle line:90%
So "Doña Carlota."

00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:00.450 align:middle line:84%
"After her husband died, Doña
Carlota was so alone she wanted

00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:03.030 align:middle line:90%
nothing more than to die.

00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:06.840 align:middle line:84%
One day, she decided how
she would end her life.

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:11.160 align:middle line:84%
Leave the gas on after fixing
some tortillas frijoles

00:01:11.160 --> 00:01:14.580 align:middle line:84%
for her son to eat when
he arrived home from work.

00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:17.280 align:middle line:84%
But as she turned
a tortilla over,

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.160 align:middle line:84%
she beheld the image of
her husband scorched on it.

00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:24.840 align:middle line:90%
A sign from God.

00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:30.600 align:middle line:84%
She should live, spend the
rest of her days in peace.

00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.410 align:middle line:84%
The tortilla, I am told,
is in her living room

00:01:34.410 --> 00:01:39.570 align:middle line:84%
next to a photo of her
dearly departed Esteban.

00:01:39.570 --> 00:01:44.370 align:middle line:84%
So unbelievably
striking in resemblance,

00:01:44.370 --> 00:01:47.590 align:middle line:84%
preserved forever
in Saran wrap."

00:01:47.590 --> 00:01:49.740 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:49.740 --> 00:01:53.940 align:middle line:84%
You know what's really funny
about this story is like how

00:01:53.940 --> 00:01:57.030 align:middle line:90%
faithful a Mexican mother is.

00:01:57.030 --> 00:01:58.980 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to commit
suicide, but I'm

00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:03.530 align:middle line:84%
going to make some
tortillas frijoles first.

00:02:03.530 --> 00:02:06.740 align:middle line:90%
It's just that-- ay dios mio.

00:02:06.740 --> 00:02:09.570 align:middle line:84%
And then I'm going
to kill myself.

00:02:09.570 --> 00:02:11.510 align:middle line:84%
And then what the
hell do you expect?

00:02:11.510 --> 00:02:15.860 align:middle line:84%
The son walks in, and he sees
that she's committed suicide,

00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:17.600 align:middle line:84%
and he's going to
eat the goddamn food?

00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:19.798 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:02:19.798 --> 00:02:20.715 align:middle line:90%
It doesn't make sense.

00:02:20.715 --> 00:02:23.440 align:middle line:90%


00:02:23.440 --> 00:02:24.190 align:middle line:90%
"Ay Mama! ...

00:02:24.190 --> 00:02:26.584 align:middle line:90%
Excuse me.

00:02:26.584 --> 00:02:28.180 align:middle line:90%
Better make a burrito first."

00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:31.230 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:02:31.230 --> 00:02:32.000 align:middle line:90%
