Passion and Patience

...
Rodriguez takes his nephew Emilio to the football.

Emilio: Can we go by car?
Uncle Rodriguez: Sorry, still haven’t got it running.
Emilio: When will that be?
Uncle Rodriguez: Sometime. I’m waiting for a distributor cap.
Emilio: You always say that.
Uncle Rodriguez: I know. It’s not easy to fix these old things. Got to be patient. Things can happen without pushing.
Emilio: Like winning a football game? Like we’ll be rich one day? That car will turn into a tree before it gets fixed.
Uncle Rodriguez: Hmmm.
