You look fantastic. Thank you for doing this.

I just watched the documentary last night,

That is how you sign all of your memos and letters?

-That's how I have signed my entire life,

that then Lin-Manuel took all the "Siempre, Luis."

-It was -- The cameras follow Luis around for a year.

And I, you know -- I know you guys pretty well.

-You're always doing something, and it's -- I mean,

I know you have great energy and just fun.

You worked on a number of political campaigns.

You've always worked to help people in times of need.

And both of you are so active in so many great causes.

Lin, is that something you learned from your dad?

It always just sort of came with growing up.

and I was registering voters in buildings.

I was, like, the guy with the green paper and the clipboard.

That was my -- That was my teenage chore of choice.

We always did the Three Kings' Day toy drive every year

where we would get toys for kids for Three Kings' Day.

So, yeah, there was always sort of an activism

and sort of charity component of growing up.

That just came with the deal of living in our house.

-Luis, you were hoping that Lin would be a lawyer.

-Actually throughout my life, I just pretended.

I figure I'll tire him out, and he'll want to make me happy

and be like Rubén Blades and also be a lawyer.

that he was with a chorus, a school performance,

where it was so clear to my wife, Luz, and me

that this kid was not going to be a lawyer,

as he was flapping his hands and just being so animated.

Those skills of flapping hands and stuff like that

-Flapping hands? That's my -- That's what I do for a living.

about the time you asked your dad for advice

-Yeah. I was -- My first job out of college

and I found, to my surprise, that I really liked it.

I think teachers should make, like, all the money.

Like, I think we should just reverse the way society works,

and teachers should get the inverse of what they are making.

but I never finish that play I was working on.

And -- But I really -- I genuinely loved it.

And so I asked my dad, "Should I take the full-time job

or should I sort of say no to that and not have a job

And I'll always be grateful to him for that,
