- What kind of measurement is
"as long as your arm"?
- You want it
to be exact, right?
My arm is always the same.
- What if someone else
uses your measurements
and they use their arm?
- That's a good note.
You know, Mayan, this kitchen
would get done a lot faster
if I could stay overnight.
This two-hour drive back

- It would get done faster
if I hired a contractor
who didn't always have a beer
at the end
of his measuring arm.
- Yeah, I mean, forget it.
You know, has this ever
happened to you, Mayan,
when you're driving,
and you close your eyes,

"That's not my house.
That's a tree!"

I just want to do a good job.

to ask Quinten.
But this is my house, my rules.
And we gotta set
some boundaries
so you don't trigger me.
- "Trigger"? Wait a minute.
You got a g*n, Mayan?
I'm so proud of you!
- Emotionally trigger.
I hate g*ns.
You have a g*n?
- Not on me.
Okay, so how do I avoid these
Los Triggers del Norte?
- Well, one of my triggers
is when you lie to me.
- I never lie to you.
- That's a lie.
- That is a lie.
- Another trigger is
when you yell at me.
- I never yell at you.
- That's another lie.
- Okay, this is starting
to feel like a series of traps.
Yelling is the Lopez way.
It's so people
take you seriously.
My nana used to say,
"There's the right way,
and then there's
the Lopez way."
She would take off her chancla
and throw it at you
and hit you,

And you know what?
I never forgot. Right here.
- Yeah, well, my therapist says
that instead of yelling,
I should resolve conflicts
through empathetic listening
