    Would you say there is a plethora of stereotypical imagery?

    Agree with James! Seems like there is too much stereotypical imagery.

    Very funny movie and good clip for vocabulary, but certainly screen ahead of time using the lens of cultural relevancy/appropriateness.

Jefe, the chairman arrived yet?
0:03
Not yet El Guapo.
0:05
Many presents have been coming for your birthday.
0:08
Chairman has the only presents I want.
0:10
Guns, guns so that the name of El Guapo
0:14
will be hanging in everyone's sleeves.
0:16
He will be here Guapo.
0:18
But I think you will like your other presents too.
0:21
I have put many beautiful pinatas in the storeroom.
0:24
Each of them filled with little surprises.
0:28
Many pinatas?
0:29
Oh yes, many.
0:32
Would you say I have a plethora of pinatas?
0:36
A what?
0:37
A plethora.
0:41
Oh yes, you have a plethora.
0:44
Jefe, what is a plethora?
0:48
Why, Guapo?
0:49
Well, you told me I have a plethora,
0:51
and I just would like to know
0:53
if you know what a plethora is.
0:55
I would not like to think that a person would tell someone
0:58
he has a plethora and find out that that person
1:01
has no idea what it means to have a plethora.
1:06
Forgive me El Guapo.
1:07
I know that I, Jefe,
1:09
do not have your superior intellect and education.
1:13
But could it be that once again, you are angry
1:16
at something else and are looking to take it out on me?
1:19
Like what Jefe?
1:22
Could it be because you are turning 40 today?
1:25
No.
