Quote from Piama in Polly in the Middle
Piama: I picked up some cold medicine for you. Francis: I told you I'm fine. Piama: You know what happens when you get that scratchy thing in your throat. Francis: I don't need it. Piama: I'm not gonna be up all night with you coughing. Just take it. Ranch Hand: [to Piama] Señora. [to Francis] Señora. Francis: You have to stop telling me what to do. You are putting me in a horrible position in front of my guys, Piama, and it's getting worse. Piama: They're not doing the work? Francis: What? No, they do plenty of work. Piama: Then what's the problem? Francis: They're... teasing me. Piama: The other boys are teasing you. Francis: Let me explain something to you, Piama. [quietly] The whole macho thing is very big in Mexican culture. Piama: No, it's actually big in every culture, and I'm not buying into it just because these guys are acting like jerks.
