- [Fide] We were a migrant family.

- [Gilbert] We used to go to Florida, go pick oranges in Florida.

- [Jerry] Pick tomatoes, pick cucumbers.

We, the Peña family, traveled all over.

- [Gilbert] My dad, he was always trying to make us strive for something bigger.

Ladies and gentleman get comfortable because it's time for the Johnny Canales Show These guys are from outside of Lubbock, Texas A town called Dimmitt And they're from over here in West Texas.

The Peña brothers, right?

All right.

- [Gilbert] To me and my brothers, we didn't think nothing was ever gonna stop us from getting to the top.

- [Larry] They used to rub elbows with... - [Fide] Los Tigeres, Intocable.

- [Gilbert] Selena y Los Dinos.

- [Fide] Every time we have success, you know, something would go wrong.

(dramatic music) - [Gilbert] A lot of people think our story's about a band, but really it's about a bunch of brothers never giving up.

(gentle music) (gentle guitar music) My name is Luis Peña Jr. (gentle guitar music) My dad was Luis Peña Sr. And my mom Elvira-Gonzales Peña.

There were many of us.

11 in total.

Of the brothers, well, I was the oldest.

Then, Jerry.

Ramon.

Gilbert.

Larry.

And Fidencio.

- My dad, they grew up really, really poor in Carrizo.

And he had to get out of school in third grade to help his mom with her and his little brother because their dad left.

My grandfather left them.

I don't know what the problem was or what.

But my dad was without his father And stayed with his mother.

- [Jerry] You know, he made a little house, dirt floor, for his mom and his little brother.

- [Gilbert] He was our foundation.

It was just unity all the time, you know.

- [Jerry] And he wasn't gonna have his kids grow up on their own like he did.

- One of our brothers passed away when he was two years old.

He died of pneumonia.

His name was Jose Adan.

- [Jerry] My dad, he had a hard time.

He had a hard time with that.

- After Jose Adan's passing, my parents made it a mission to remind us we could get through anything together.

- [Fide] We were a migrant family, traveling the country, following jobs.

We worked tomatoes, cucumbers, squash.

- [Gilbert] Go pick watermelon, cantaloupe, cucumber, strawberries.

- There's a lot of people who would do that for a living.

They would follow the seasons around and mom and dad would be, like, "If y'all see snakes, rattlesnakes, y'all run."

So we'd be running and we'd be, like, "You see anything, bro?

You see everything."

- Luis was a...

He was a very hard worker.

Ramon was a hard worker.

Jerry was...

He needed a little bit of pushing.

Jerry would sit in the middle of work and eat half the tomatoes we picked.

- Yeah, I did.

(laughs) - It was hard to go from place to place and make friends and, you know, get a good education because we would always be jumping from place to place.

- So we were pretty tight.

We do everything together, go out, eat.

Everything together.

We'd play music together.

- [Gilbert] Once cassettes came in... You know, we'd carry the cassette box with us and play music and just work it and made the day go by faster.

- And on Sundays, we had one hour radio, Mexican music, one hour.

That's all they would give us.

And so when anybody from Texas came up, they bring us music.

There was a man that would find a lot of music in Texas and Florida and he would sell it at the labor Back then it was Ruben Vela, Paulino Bernal.

- Los Relampagos.

- Los Relampagos.

- Los Relampagos.

(upbeat music) (people cheering) - Los Relampagos Del Norte consisted of accordion player, Ramon Ayala, and bajo sexto player and lead vocalist, Cornelio Reyna.

- [Jerry] They were like the Beatles to the Mexican people because they were awesome.

Way ahead of their time, the way they would play their music, it was crazy.

When they came out with that stuff, phenomenal.

Outside, they were like the Beatles, but they wouldn't serve them coffee at a restaurant.

- [Dr.

Bowman] While, the color line between white and Black was pretty clear everywhere in the south.

It wasn't always clear if you were a Mexican.

And the only way you would know not to go in there was to find out.

(whistle blaring) - [Gilbert] I was 10 years old when we moved to Texas and we ended up in a town with an infamous sign that said, "No Mexicans allowed in a restaurant."

The future didn't look too bright in Dimmitt Texas.

Not to us.

- Well, dad was passionate about music.

You know, it was funny 'cause he didn't know how to play anything as far as I know.

He didn't play, you know, any kind of instruments but he loved music.

He loved to dance.

- [Fide] My dad loved "La Unica Estrella".

(Vicente sings in Spanish) He would play it for us over and over.

That's when he bonded with us the most.

(Vicente Fernandez sings in Spanish) - His compadre told, "Hey, compadre, I have a little accordion for sale."

My dad bought it for 50 bucks.

Can you imagine?

- It was a big investment.

But my dad, he was always thinking about his kids, always thinking about his kids.

Always trying to make us strive for something bigger.

The accordion, actually, my dad bought it for me.

- And he didn't learn it.

- He goes, "Out of my 11 kids, one of them has to pick it up, you know."

- [Jerry] I seen it on the bed and I start messing with it.

And I start getting little bits here and there.

He started learning it.

He would run the girls out of the house.

- [Jerry] And they would say, "Dad, mom, get him outta here.

We can't watch TV."

(lively accordion music) Jerry, go outside.

He would sit under an apple tree.

He would say one day you'll pay to see me play.

He would shout it to them, - [Jerry] That's where I started the band with some school friends.

I joined 6 to 8 months after it started.

- [Jerry] My dad said, "(speaks in Spanish) Name the band Los Arcos."

And that's where it originated.

- We had just arrived maybe a couple of months?

- Three months, we were together.

We found out there would be a Battle of the Bands in Lubbock.

- [Ramon Hernandez] Freddie Records was looking for conjunto from West Texas to record.

"Hey, we'll just have a contest, put 'em all under one roof and see who's the best."

- [Jerry] Freddie Records at the time was the recording studio where everybody went.

And, you know, Ramon Ayala was there.

We took first place out of 33 bands.

Not a lot happened with that record.

And the other band members didn't want to work as hard.

- The two older brothers, Luis and Jerry, were always having trouble with drummer and a bass player.

- A lot of drinking, you know, on stage.

He would fall asleep playing the guitar.

- A lot of tantrums.

He would want a song, and we would say "in a moment we'll do it."

Well, He would cross his arms.

Put his drum sticks on the snare.

He would grab his beer and drink.

- And it just got to the point where, "You know what, who better than my brothers?"

I'd called my brother Ramon.

He was working at a Furrs Cafeteria.

in Victoria, Texas at the time.

Said, "Bro, get your butt over here 'cause you're gonna be our next drummer."

"What, me?

I don't know how to play.

"You're gonna learn how to play."

"If you're serious, I'll quit my job right now."

So he quit his job that day, got on the bus the next morning, we picked him up, sat him on the drum, "This is what you're gonna do."

- So my brother Jerry said, well..." - "you're our next bass player."

- [Gilbert] He took a guitar and made it into the bass, tuned it up.

Left me a piece of paper with the skills on it.

- [Jerry] He looked at me, like, "Are you serious?

I'm serious.

You gonna play the bass with us 'cause we don't have a bass player."

That's when the sound of the Peña brothers was born - And we did six month tour in Mexico.

From there, from the capital of Mexico, we traveled everywhere.

Sometimes, in a Combi.

Sometimes, we took a train.

Sometimes, we flew.

Sometimes, we went with other bands to the next gig like that.

- [Fide] They were out there, you know, hustling and trying to find their way, trying to find a name for themselves.

We were hoping something big would happen for them.

- You know, there's this one place called the Garibaldi.

Cornelio Reyna, The Beatles.

Cornelio Reyna, he stopped there.

He saw us playing.

So he went to (speaks in Spanish) which is the dressing room.

He asked us to record as his backing band for 33 tracks.

- [Jerry] My brother, Ramon, was excited.

That was overwhelming to meet Cornelio Reyna in person.

(upbeat music) - It gave us more drive.

We gotta keep going.

Look who are we recording with?

They're our idols.

That's what made us start working harder.

We worked hard.

- We didn't think nothing was ever gonna stop us from getting to the top.

- [Gilbert] Ramon was always pushing me.

And we practiced till my fingers bled.

- As soon as we crossed the back into Texas, I'm gonna say, the next two weeks, we were already in the recording studio with Hacienda Records.

- [Gilbert] Recording a bunch of albums helped us to get well known.

(people clapping) (gentle music) - [Jerry] We would do two a year.

Two albums a year.

You know, we were recording like crazy.

- [Gilbert] Sometimes there's just a song they call a fill in song and that's the one that hits.

- [Jerry] "El Borracho Del Ano" was an original of Juan Sifuentes, he used to sing for Conjunto Bernal.

- [Director] Did you feel like it was a fill in song?

- I mean, I thought it was, but, you know... - [Director] Were you wrong?

- Yeah, pretty much.

- [Jerry] We start going out more into the States.

I mean, we were just going out because of that song.

- Playing in front of eight, 9,000 people.

All night long.

If we played all night, they asked for it all night.

- [Gilbert] You know, I was bringing my mom and dad money home, you know, so I was, like, "Eh, school is..." I thought I didn't need it.

But school's good.

Stay in school.

Because we were rising I was able to talk to Johnny Canales.

- [Ramon Hernandez] For the Mexican American, Johnny Canales was the equivalent of Dick Clark's American Bandstand back then.

It was Johnny Canales.

He was national.

(lively music) - Johnny Canales is almost back.

Come on.

- We're the only group from West Texas called by Johnny Canales.

My brothers were excited.

Johnny Canales, man.

- [Gilbert] When we did that show with Johnny Canales, I was roaming the halls like any kid would do.

Went to the lobby, here comes this girl, looked up, it was Selena.

We started talking, had a little conversation, and then the brother walks in, "Hey, Selena, we're up."

She goes, "Okay, nice meeting you.

Good luck."

(Pena Brothers sing in Spanish) - [Larry] I was at home, we were...

Mom and dad, all of us were watching.

We recorded it and they watched it back a hundred times.

(gentle music) (Johnny speaks in Spanish) - [Jerry] Every week, we'd send out money home.

To the family, to my wife, to my kids, to my mom and dad.

Always, always, all of us send home money.

- [Gilbert] We ate better.

(laughs) Stayed in better motels, hotels.

- [Fide] They got asked to play again.

- Johnny's always joking around.

"Man, he had 'em on the roads,", you know, he said.

He would look at the...

They had the Stacy-Adams.

And he said, "What are you guys using those, for skiing or what?"

(gentle music) (Pena Brothers sing in Spanish) - That's all we had time for.

It's music.

We played Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Thursday, Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, whatever.

I mean, we were gone.

We had no time to practice.

- Whatever the boys needed, the guys needed, dad and mom were, like, on board.

They needed a roadie.

You know, "Go ahead, Fide, they need help.

Go, help 'em."

- [Gilbert] Anybody that can lift anything heavy, come join the road crew.

- It was me, Oscar, Fide, Nunoboy.

My kids, Oscar and Luis III were the first nephews of the Peña brothers to get involved in the band.

- So Nunoboy and I, Luis III, my brother, we grew up together.

I took on the responsibility pretty quick, man.

Like, literally, I was like 16 years old driving, you know, with the equipment in it.

You know, I was young.

- The one thing we did it for is to keep him off the streets, to keep him out of trouble.

- I didn't care if we got paid or not.

I just wanted to be out there.

- School would start and we wouldn't show up till a week later because the tour wasn't over.

The tour wasn't over and... We were in Utah.

- Detroit, Michigan.

- Mexico.

- North Carolina, South Carolina.

- Marion, Indiana.

- And I'd be working the lights, like I was actually doing something, you know what I mean?

I'd be, like, "Yeah, man."

- [Oscar] It looked like a circus, I guess and... - Jerry or June looked at me like... - There was this one time where this guy kinda shoved me.

And I told Nunoboy about it.

And sure enough, Nunoboy told him, "Hey, do you got your problem with my brother?"

And we walked further along down the street to a neighborhood and they duked it out.

(chuckles) And he said, "Don't be mess with my brother."

- We always travel in the pack.

We never leave each other.

You know, it was always together.

- [Oscar] My brother Ramon, he was very protective.

He was very...

He would take care of us.

- When he would leave his drums unattended, I would get up there and beat 'em.

He said, I would leave dings on him.

He would get a little bit upset with me, but... - One time during the winter, I was sleeping.

Here he comes knocking on the door.

(door thudding) "Hey, bro, let's go see who we can pull out the snow."

I was like, "Bro, are you serious?"

He goes, "Yeah."

And we would go around Dimmitt Find people stuck in the snow.

We would pull him out just because he wanted to help somebody.

- Him and Ramon had a tight bond, of course, being the backbone of the band for a long time.

- [Gilbert] We get two rooms, three rooms.

The roadie is in one room.

The two oldest, Luis and Jerry, me and Ramon.

- You know, dad was always about us, man.

Mom too.

But mom was more... She would always worry about us, you know.

And dad would always be, you know, "Those are my boys, you know, those are my boys up there jamming."

(upbeat music) (Pena Brothers sing in Spanish) Where the people were, the immigrant people - [Gilbert] We started out as a migrant family and we became the entertainment for all the migrant families.

Like that exactly.

- Larry, Larry started playing sax at school.

And then my brother Fide was learning the keyboards really, really well.

- Not much was said, you know.

Me and Fide weren't.

Let's do it, man.

We were like, "Yeah, we couldn't wait to get the practice."

La Mafia, they were fixing to go nationwide with their keyboard sound.

And also Conjunto Primavera were fixing to become very big with the sax sound.

- That potential was there.

I mean, we were ready to take on the world.

- We did two or three shows together, all of us.

And people really enjoyed it 'cause it was a lot of cumbia.

And in our style, what we had, so they was like a combo type thing but all brothers.

- I prayed, you know, I had dreams about it that one day we'd all be, you know, jamming out together, big stages.

- [Director] So you thought this might be your future?

Like, you might be a keyboard player for this band?

- Yes.

- Yeah, definitely.

I would've loved to have heard it, you know.

- My brother, Ramon, he would be playing drums and I go back there, "What's wrong, brother?"

"Oh, my back's hurting, bro.

My back's hurting."

That's all he would say.

All this touring that we were doing, he didn't wanna us to stop because of him.

And one day to the next, they told us he was in the hospital.

- And my brother's, like, "No, I'm not leaving here until you find out what's wrong with me."

- [Jerry] "Bro, you're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna get outta here and we're going to keep going."

Well, who's playing?

Then Fide's playing.

- When I started to fill in for Ramon, I thought this is temporary because he's gonna pull out of it and everything's gonna go back to normal.

I'm gonna go back to my keyboards.

- [Jerry] He had a tumor in his colon and became cancer.

The cancer spread.

The cancer spread all over his body.

- And still like that.

I was, like, "He's gonna be all right."

He has to be all right.

He's our brother.

He's my brother, he's my big brother.

- He wasn't ready.

He wasn't ready to go.

- He was there and already sick as it was.

He goes, "Bro, I better eat these fruits.

I need to get better, bro."

Said, "Yeah, we'll eat that and start feeling better."

And... Days after that, you know, he was gone - [Jerry] 26 years old.

my little brother, Ramon.

The two oldest brothers were the ones that told our parents.

- And my brother woke me up "We gotta go tell mom and dad."

You know how hard that was for us.

They reacted very badly.

It was a huge blow for them.

- We sang at his funeral.

We played.

- [Oscar] I remember there were so many people there.

It was crazy.

So many people.

- But like I said, the one that cried the most was Gil.

- I couldn't go see him.

I didn't want to see him for the last time, like that I didn't go in.

(somber music) - "Dad, mom, what do you want us to do?"

"Mijo, your brother, Ramon, would've wanted you to keep going."

Don't stop."

"Are you sure?"

Mom and dad, "Yep."

- They almost didn't start up again.

They almost just let it... - It was hard to take that first step to say.

"We gotta get back on the horse, guys, you know."

(gentle guitar music) (Luis sings "La Unica Estrella" in Spanish) - [Fide] We wanted to show Ramon's kids and our kids and the whole family that just because you lose a loved one doesn't mean you lose your dreams.

(gentle music) - I stopped playing.

I didn't pick up a saxophone a long time.

We've been out three, four years without doing nothing.

- [Gilbert] After you lose somebody like that, you know, the more family we had on stage, the better.

My son, Nunoboy, started singing at 5 years old.

- [Director] How did you know he was ready to join full force?

His voice said it all.

(Nunoboy sings in Spanish) - [Oscar] I mean, when he first jumped on stage, they dubbed me as the lead roadie, I guess, you know.

- Yeah.

- [Oscar] And that's the way it stayed.

- They decided, "Well, Fide's a good drummer."

- Brother Ramon, man, I have this ring here.

That was given... His wife had given it to mom after...

I don't know how many years after he passed away but she finally wanted her to have it.

One day, I was already drumming, and mom, she gave it to me.

She gave me this ring.

So now I wear it with a, you know...

I wear it with a lot of pride, you know.

I don't think he even knew that he showed me how to play drums.

(person speaks in Spanish) - Looking back there and not seeing Ramon, you know.

I would just go behind the speaker and just bawl.

- And it just took one of us to start crying.

You got the whole band crying on stage.

Couldn't help it.

We just couldn't help it.

(somber music) - "Bro, we're going back into the studio."

And I was, like, "Hell, yeah, bro."

- Nunoboy, he was really excited.

I know that.

'Cause that's what he had always wanted.

You know, he always wanted to record.

- "Me Enamore de Ti", we hoped that it was gonna be our comeback song.

I was scheduled to record it.

Well, at the studio he goes, "Tio, I want to record it.

I said, "Okay, mijo, you record it.

But if we start having trouble, we're gonna pull you out and I'm gonna finish it."

One take is all it took.

That's how awesome he was.

(Me Enamore de ti recording plays) When we stopped playing after Ramón passed away, many doors closed.

- People thought we were, you know, we had split up because of my brother.

You know, a lot of people think we couldn't continue.

So it was, like, they forgot about us.

- Promoters.

"Yeah, let's get the new."

You leave and they throw your CD in the trash.

- [Gilbert] We even tried branding new names like Los Hermanos Peña.

Our nickname, The West Texas Boys, it barely made a difference.

- [Fide] We said, "The boys are back.

We were excited about the whole album.

You know, we don't know how many people really heard the album."

(gentle music) - What are we doing wrong?

Couldn't figure it out, but... - [Fide] It's a rollercoaster ride for sure.

- We see Cornelio by himself all the time.

And he said, "Let's do another one."

Maybe it could've been something bigger.

- I remember exactly where we were.

We're playing in Victoria, Texas when we heard that he passed away.

- Oh, man.

My brother Luis, man, he was devastated.

- [Fide] Sometimes it was real tough to keep the dream alive.

- Nunoboy was gonna do what he was gonna do.

That's just who he was, you know.

The Nunoboy just said, you know, "I'm out and I'm gonna go do something else."

I think like anyone you want to make a name for yourself.

- I thought, "Yeah, he can bust outta here and do his own thing because he was that good."

- I didn't want him to go (chuckles) for sure 'cause he was a big asset to our group.

- [Gilbert] In or out of the band he's still our family.

We still support him.

- He did, he went to go record with other bands.

He sounded great.

He left a great impression in the world.

Of his own.

Of who he was.

- [Fide] Nunoboy joined a saxophone band.

So I had an idea.

- Fide asked me one day, he's, like, "Hey, bro, we need a sax player."

And I was, like, "Well, if I hear we're good, I'll let you know."

He's, like, "Hey, dude, I'm talking about you bro, come on."

- [Gilbert] I was excited.

I was happy for my brother.

He always wanted to do it too.

- When I finally got the hang of it, they were, like, "Okay, he's good."

- [Larry] Yeah, like, "Yeah, okay, - And my dad loved it.

So I said, "Well, heck, yeah.

Come on, bro."

You know, everything we do, we do for mom and dad, you know, for their dream and for us too, of course.

- [Fide] People really loved it.

We did real good with the saxophone Norteño you know.

Every time we have success, you know, something would go wrong.

- My dad, he got sick from his throat and he couldn't sing.

I went to the doctor and they, let's call it, scraped my vocals.

They told me not to talk.

They told him not to talk at all.

To limit his talking 'cause he's gonna have surgery or whatever and everybody was scared.

- He would carry a chalkboard.

He would write whatever he needed to say.

He'd like... - [Fide] Well, you could tell that he was scared, but he wouldn't show it.

I could see it.

- Since day one, we've always been united.

- And we stopped for a little bit.

- 'Cause I didn't think he was ever gonna sing again.

He didn't think he was ever gonna sing again.

It was, like, it was a big deal.

- That period of time that doctor told him, he didn't speak a word, man.

That's when me and him really got along.

(laughs) (group laughing) - I'm just kidding.

- I know.

- Tio Jerry's like, I told him, you know, "I can sing, you know, if you need me to sing whatever."

He goes, "Yeah, we'll try it out."

They gave him a chance to see what he had and yes.

- Of course, I wasn't Nunoboy but... 'Cause Nunoboy awesome, you know.

He's got a different voice above anybody.

- So then, of course, Oscar became another big asset to the group because of his vocals.

- All I remember is he got up there and started singing.

He was gonna try it, see how his vocal was, and I remember I started crying.

(Luis sings in Spanish) - He pulled through.

Like I said, when we show you that chalkboard and some of it you couldn't read very well but... (Luis laughs) (gentle guitar music) (Nunoboy sings in Spanish) - [Gilbert] Nunoboy's health issues really held his career back.

- [Jerry] He had a hard time taking care of himself.

- He was diabetic since he was about 12, 13 years old.

- It affected him because his diabetes, he had type one diabetes.

- He'd get weak and couldn't perform.

- The doctor said, you know, well, you're going into kidney failure and I gave him a kidney.

He needed it.

I had it.

I gave it to him and that was that.

- [Director] You'd never think twice about it.

- No questions asked.

It's the unity.

What our parents taught us to be united to love each other with all your soul.

- [Oscar] "I wish you didn't have to do this."

I said, "Well, it's not a question, bro."

You know, it's like... You got me...

I did it because...

I mean, he's my brother.

And I'd do it again.

- [Larry] At the end of the day, we're home, you know.

On a week, whatever, I knew he would be back.

- We got him in the studio and when he was just in the studio, he was... Like I said, he was magical, man, and... Like, picked up where he left off with us.

You know, that's what I felt.

- [Gilbert] The album that we all did together it landed us on the Billboard charts.

First one ever.

- Back in the day, the dream was to get everybody up there and now to have him finally jump on the stage, it was...

It was their dream my parents.

- [Jerry] My dad would say, "Man, oh my kids are different.

I love you all."

- We were his pride and joy.

So he didn't care.

There was five people there.

There was a thousand people there.

As long as he seen his boys on stage, he was happy.

- Dad was very proud of us, man, dad.

And he would tell us, "All I want, mijo, is for y'all to do way better than me."

And when him and mom left, they knew that everybody had their own homes.

Everybody bought their own house.

Everybody would set, everybody was doing good.

All of us.

- [Gilbert] If that's all we ever achieved, that's good enough for me.

(gentle music) (Pena Brothers sing in Spanish) (upbeat music) - [Ramon Hernandez] And their story is so unique for being in West Texas.

I mean, they do stuff that it was very innovative.

It was very ahead of its time.

25 albums now and they're still performing.

- [Director] Do you think the group had any influence on the rise of the genre?

- Uh.

I don't know.

- Please welcome, Carin Leon.

(crowd cheering) - [Host 3] Grammy winning artists with more than 30 million Spotify monthly listeners and 4.2 million Instagram followers.

(Carin sings in Spanish) - That's an awesome feeling.

Following our dreams gives y'all something to look forward to.

- That was my dream, you know, was to play with my brothers.

And I accomplished that, you know.

- [Fide] We did plenty of big stages with Larry.

- [Larry] Anything after that was a win for me.

(gentle saxophone music) The recordings are important to me because it's a memory in our hearts of my parents my brothers my eldest son, Luis III.

- He tried to live life to the fullest, you know, and he lived for about eight years with that kidney.

I opened the door to the police here in town.

I opened the door, and they gave me the news.

- He told me, Nunoboy passed away.

And I was...

Caught me by surprise, of course 'cause I was asleep.

I remember telling him one day, you know, "Hey, bro, you know, if I could take your place, bro, I would."

He said, "Nah, bro, I would never wish this on you."

You know, it was hard, man.

And he just said, you know, "Thank you."

That's all he ever said.

That's all he said, man, "Thank you."

- [Gilbert] Nunoboy and Oscar are proof that our love for each other was passed down to the next generation.

- We'll be together...

- [Fide] We never got back to the fame we had when we were with Ramon.

- [Gilbert] We're not rich and famous, but we are proof that pursuing your dream can lead to a good life.

(gentle saxophone music) If the band separated of if it didn't the family will always be united.

- We're always gonna be united because love like that just doesn't end just like that.

- [Director] Yes, Dad, because of y'all.
