    The document is a script for a play about a Mexican family in their truck trying to cross the US-Mexico border. When they are stopped by the border patrol guard, confusion ensues as neither the guard nor the family speak each other's language well. Through gestures and with help from the son translating between Spanish and English, they work out that the family is heading to a swap meet, though the son had hoped they were going to Disneyland. The guard suspects they may be smuggling drugs or avocados.
