Shade : [voice-over] If it weren't for Elvia Rivero, this story wouldn't even be worth telling. Whenever Elvia came to this little town, well, it's like she woke the place up.

Shade : [voice-over] It was Elvia who first gave me the idea. It was decided then and there, I knew what was missing from my life, a man. Oh no, don't get me wrong, not a man for me. For my mom. Then we could do all the dumb normal stuff regular families do.

Shade : A lot of people say you're stupid to have expectations on anything, but they're just afraid of disappointment. Me, I guess I'm more afraid of not having any daydreams left. I mean, disappointment is easy, you can get over it. But what do you do with yourself if you can't imagine the future the way you want it to be?
