Drew’s wife in “Never Marry a Mexican,” and the mother of his son. When Megan runs into Clemencia for the first time in an art gallery, Drew introduces them by saying, “This is Megan” (a statement that deeply wounds Clemencia). In another scene, Clemencia calls Drew late at night and Megan answers the phone so politely that all Clemencia can do is laugh at the fact that this woman is so proper and oblivious to her husband’s philandering.

Never Marry a Mexican Quotes

You think I went hobbling along with my life, whimpering and whining like some twangy country-and-western when you went back to her. But I’ve been waiting. Making the world look at you from my eyes. And if that’s not power, what is?
