ALMA: "Basketball Birds"
[♪♪♪]
JUNIOR: Oh, there they are Papi.
Ooo, a piñata!
C'mon, Papi, it's party time!
PAPI: Go ahead Junior.
PAPI: All good, Alma?
ALMA: Yep, I'm gonna play basketball with...
RAFIA: Think fast!
ALMA: ...Rafia!
RAFIA: Hi Alma!
PAPI: If you need me, I'll be over there.
And always remember, Almita...
[effort] Defense!
[giggle]
ALMA: Whoa, did ya see that?!
RAFIA: You're good, Dr. Rivera!
But don't forget...
RAFIA: Haha! Defense! PAPI: Whoa!
[giggles]
PAPI: Have fun, you two!
RAFIA: Rafia Huda's got the ball.
She charges down the court!
Is she fast or what???
ALMA: But time's running out!
In ... ......
RAFIA: Rafia sh**t the ball and...
ALMA: [buzzer sound]
RAFIA: Nothing but net!! Rafia wins the game!
And the crowd goes wild!
RAFIA: Yeahhh!!! Roaarrr! Yaaayy!
ALMA: [gasp] Watch out, Rafia!
RAFIA: Whoaaa... [gasp]
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Ah-ha! Yaah! Ow!
Sorry, Alma and Rafia, this path is closed.
RAFIA: Why, Rose?
The court is right there!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: We're trimming the trees.
So, we blocked off this area to keep folks safe.
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: See what I mean.
ALMA: Ah, okay. Thanks, Rose.
We'll go the other way around.
RAFIA: Race ya there!
RAFIA: I'm gonna b*at you!
ALMA: Not if I b*at you first.
KIDS: [laughter]
[bird chirping]
ALMA: You better move, birdie.
Rafia's gonna sh**t the ball.
ALMA: What's up with this bird?
Hey! Wait a minute!
It's a nest!
RAFIA: Game on!
ALMA: [gasp] Oh no, Rafia!
RAFIA: Oof. What's up, Alma?!
ALMA: Shhh....
[bird chirping]
RAFIA: Oh! No way!
RAFIA: A bird's nest. Whoaaa.
But how are we going to play basketball with the nest there?
Should we move it or something?
ALMA: Hm, I dunno...
But my Papi will!
Keep an eye on the nest, okay?
RAFIA: Uh-huh, sure...
JUNIOR: Wow! Thanks, Papi!
PAPI: Careful.
ALMA: [panting] Basket... Bird...
Nest... Hoop!
PAPI: Oh! You found a bird's nest on one of the hoops...
at the basketball court?!
ALMA: Wow, he's good!
What should we do?
Should we move it?
PAPI: No, please don't move it.
If a mama bird has a nest,
then it probably has eggs in it.
She'll want to keep her eggs safe.
We can help her by leaving the nest alone.
JUNIOR: [giggles] Gonna get you.
PAPI: Ay! I'll come right after the party.
ALMA: Got it, Papi!
JUNIOR: Where are you piñata
PAPI: Ay, Junior!
RAFIA: Whooaaa, I can't believe there are eggs in there!
ALMA: Yep!
That's why we have to leave the nest alone.
ALMA: [gasp] RAFIA: [gasp]
RAFIA: Then we should make sure no one goes near this hoop.
ALMA: Definitely.
Let's protect this nest!
LUCAS: Hey, wanna play with us?
RAFIA: No, thanks.
ANDRÉ: Seriously?
You always want to play basketball!
RAFIA: I'm busy guarding that nest.
ANDRÉ: Uh, okay.
LUCAS: Okay, we'll play on the other hoop.
ALMA: You still doing okay up there mama bird?
RAFIA: I can't wait for the baby birds to hatch!
Oh! We should name them.
How 'bout Biscuit?
ALMA: Yeah!
And what about 'Penelope?'
EDDIE: Hey, Alma, you're not playing?
ALMA: Nope, we're watching this hoop.
EDDIE: Uh... okay. Sure.
We'll play with those guys.
RAFIA: Not much is happening.
ALMA: Nope.
[bird chirping]
RAFIA: Hey! Let's pretend to be birds.
I'll be the mama.
You can be my baby.
RAFIA: Flap flap flap flap!
ALMA: Tweet, tweet! Tweet! Tweet! Tweet!
Mama! Mama!
RAFIA: I'm here, my baby bird!
Are you hungry?
I've got wooooorms!
ALMA: Blecch. No thank you!
Got any pizza?
KIDS: [laughs]
LUCAS: Watch out!
RAFIA: Incoming!!
I've got it!
ALMA: Whoa!
ALMA: [gasps] RAFIA: [gasps]
RAFIA: Whoa, that was close.
ALMA: Too close!
LUCAS: Sorry about that.
Is the bird's nest okay?
EDDIE: Wait, what bird's nest?!
RAFIA: We're keeping the eggs safe!
KIDS: Eggs!!??
ANDRÉ: Hold up. There are baby bird eggs in there?!
No way!
I wanna help protect them!
KIDS: Me too! Oh, we're in! Yeah!
RAFIA: All right then, huddle up, team!
André, chalk please?
RAFIA: Thanks.
Okay, here's the game plan...
RAFIA: Eddie and Becka, you'll stand at the entrance
to make sure no one comes onto the court.
EDDIE: Okay! BECKA: Okay!
RAFIA: André and Lucas, pretend to play basketball...
so the court looks too busy to play on.
LUCAS: Got it!
Dribble and swish!
RAFIA: Alma and I will guard the nest from the front of the hoop.
ALMA: I won't let you down, coach.
RAFIA: Alright, team, let's protect the Basketball Birds.
KIDS: Woo! Yeah!
We can do this! All right!
BECKA: Ready at the entrance.
ANDRÉ: Pretending to play!
ALMA: And no one's coming near this nest!
RAFIA: This is gonna be good!
[♪♪♪]
ANDRÉ: [out of breath] Ooh!
EDDIE: Oh! I'm hungry.
ANDRÉ: [sigh] And we're tired. Right, Lucas?
Lucas?!
LUCAS: [snoring]
ANDRÉ: See?
RAFIA: I think we all need to go home.
BECKA: Yeah, I think so too. EDDIE: Yeah, totally.
LUCAS: [snoring]
ALMA: But if we leave, what do we do about the nest?
How can we still keep it safe?
I've gotta think about this...
PAPI: If a mama bird has a nest, then it probably has eggs in it.
She'll want to keep her eggs safe.
We can help her by leaving the nest alone.
ALMA: So no one should go near the nest.
ANDRÉ: Hold up! There are baby bird eggs in there?!
No way!
I wanna help protect them!
ALMA: But when André found out about the nest,
he wanted to keep it safe.
I bet if we tell other people, they'll want to stay away.
But how can we tell them if we're not here?
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: We're trimming the trees...
So, we blocked this area off to keep folks safe.
ALMA: Oh! I know what to do.
ALMA: Huddle up, team!
LUCAS: [ snoring ]
Hmm!?
ALMA: How about we make signs
to tell people about the bird's nest?
Then they'll know that they should stay away from the hoop.
RAFIA: That's a great plan, Alma.
KIDS: Nice! Woo-hoo!
ANDRÉ: I've got everything we need.
[♪♪♪]
PAPI: I'm here, Almita.
What did I miss?
ALMA: We're making signs to tell people about...
the Basketball Birds.
[gasp] I've got another idea!
But I'm going to need help from Rose.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Huzzah!
The basketball court is officially closed!
Let's keep this nest safe!
KIDS: [cheer] Yeah! Oh yeah! Let's do it!
PAPI: Let me take a picture!
RAFIA: How are we going to know when the baby birds hatch?
I reaaally want to see them!
ALMA: I have an idea.
JUNIOR: Whoa!
Something's happening!!!
Mama, Papi, come quick!
ALMA: Papi set up a webcam on the nest,
so we could watch the eggs on the internet.
It's been weeks!
ALMA: [gasp] It's time!
It's time!
Papiii!!!
ALMA: No way! PAPI: Increíble!
ALL: Is it happening? Did you guys see them?
ALMA: I guess we weren't the only ones watching
the nest on the internet!
RAFIA: Alma, it's happening!
ALMA: I know!
[bird chirping]
PAPI: The babies are hatching!
[baby birds chirping]
ALL: Awww... so cute.
Awww... cuties!
[baby birds chirping]
RAFIA: Aww, my babies!
They're soooo cute!
ALMA: You're a great mama bird, Rafia.
RAFIA: Tweet tweet!
Worm?
ALMA: Blecch! No, thanks.
I'm still good.
KIDS: [laugh]
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: "Looking for Litter"
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Carlotta Clues is on the move!
I'm pretending to be my favorite detective.
I've read every single book!
ANDRÉ: Do you see any clues yet, Alma?
Er, I mean, Carlotta?
ALMA: Not yet!
But we're gonna cr*ck the case of the playground prankster.
[crushing sound]
[crushing sound]
ALMA: Ah-ha!
It was the Giggler!
RAFIA: I knew! Carlotta's greatest villain!
ALMA: It's the end of the road for you Giggler!
EDDIE: [cackle]
Argh, you caught me!
If I hadn't stepped on this plastic bottle,
you wouldn't have heard me coming [cackle].
ALMA: Yes! Carlotta Clues solves another mystery!
ALMA: I got it...
RAFIA: Alma, the bottle!
ALMA: Whoops. I thought it went in.
ALMA: Heeey, look...
ALL: What?
ALMA: Where did all that litter come from?
ALMA: Should we leave it?
ANDRÉ: We should do something about it.
But what?
ALMA: I know who will know.
Rose! C'mon!
ALMA: Hi, Rose!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Hey, friends, what's up?!
ALMA: Is there anything we can do about all the litter here?
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Ah, no worries, I got this...
ALMA: Cool! Nice moves! RAFIA: Whoa! Awesome!
ALMA: Can we help you clean up?
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: You bet!
TÍA GLORIA: Great idea Alma!
We'll pitch in too!
UNCLE NESTOR: Litter is no match for us!
EDDIE: We shall defeat the litter!!
KIDS: [cheers] Yes!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Okay. Wow.
I've never seen this kind of passion for litter before.
But I like it!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Grabbers.
ALMA: Nice!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Gloves.
ANDRÉ: Great!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Trash bags.
RAFIA: Thanks!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Let's go!
UNCLE NESTOR: [imitating robot] We are litter-bots.
EDDIE: Beep Bop. Beep Boop.
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Whoa! [giggles]
[♪♪♪]
ANDRÉ: Gotcha!
ALMA: Take that trash!
ANDRÉ: In ya go!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Yes! Got it!
What!?
Oh!
RAFIA: [effort]
TÍA GLORIA: One. Two. Three!
RAFIA: She sh**t! She scores!! Yay!
TÍA GLORIA: Woo! Yes!
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Here ya go!
KIDS: Wow! Whoa! This looks good!
This looks amazing!
TÍA GLORIA: Not a speck, spot, or piece of litter!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Now, that's how I like it!
Thanks, everyone for all your help today.
Enjoy the park, see you later!
ALL: Sure thing! Bye! Thanks!
UNCLE NESTOR: Kind Citizens of New York...
we came... we picked-up...
and we conquered the trash!
EDDIE: It's the end of litter!
KIDS: Yes! Yay! Yeah! Woo-hoo! Not in our park!
ALMA: We should play here again tomorrow!
ANDRÉ: Totally!
KIDS: See you later! Bye! See you tomorrow! Byeee!
UNCLE NESTOR: Bye kids! TÍA GLORIA: Thank you!
UNCLE NESTOR: All that hard work made me hungry.
TÍA GLORIA: Come on, you two.
It's almost time for dinner.
SQUID GUY: Ah! Ah! Oh no!
Great catch, Eddie!
That's a flyer for my restaurant.
You can keep it...
...and spread the word.
Hello sir, are you hungry for seafood.
ALL: Bye! UNCLE NESTOR: Adiós!
EDDIE: Well, Papá, I know where you can find...
a good seafood special.
UNCLE NESTOR: Then we shall go forth
and fill our bellies with the scallops of destiny!
TÍA GLORIA: [giggle]
ALMA: See you tomorrow, clean playground!
EDDIE: Alma come on.
ALMA: Oh, wait for me.
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: Morning!
ANDRÉ: Hey!
RAFIA: Last one to the playground is a litterbug!
EDDIE: Oh, you are so on!
JUNIOR: Alma, what kind of bug is a litterbug?
ALMA: Oh, it's not a bug.
It's a person who drops trash and doesn't pick it up.
JUNIOR: Ohhh...
I thought it was like a ladybug.
They're cute.
But litter?
Blech!
ALMA: Well, you don't have to worry about that.
We got rid of all the litter yesterday.
JUNIOR: Uh... Alma, look!
KIDS: No way! What happened?!
ANDRÉ: Didn't we pick up every single piece of litter?
Or was I just dreaming?
ALMA: It definitely wasn't a dream.
JUNIOR: Maybe it was a litterbug?
I know a ladybug wouldn't make such a mess.
ALMA: Grrr... Litter makes me so mad.
And I'm even madder because we worked so hard to clean it up!
EDDIE: We need to find out who's littering...
so we can ask them to stop.
ANDRÉ: Yeah...
But how do we do that?
RAFIA: It's a mystery!
ALMA: You know what Carlotta Clues does...
when there's a mystery to solve?
She goes undercover to find out who did it.
RAFIA: Oh, remember that time Carlotta dressed up...
as an ice cream cone?
ANDRÉ: Yeah! To solve the case of the missing sprinkles.
ALMA: That's what we need to do!
ALMA: Let's put on disguises and look for clues!
EDDIE: Yeah! And If we follow the litter,
we might find clues.
ANDRÉ: And then we'll solve the Case of the Mystery Litterbug!
RAFIA: Ooh, this is gonna be good!
[mysterious theme playing]
ALMA: The coast is clear.
Let's move on three.
One-two-!
JUNIOR: Wait!
JUNIOR: My mustache itches.
EDDIE: Try wiggling your nose, like this.
JUNIOR: Oh! That's better.
Thanks.
ALMA: Okay, let's go.
One... two... three!
[mysterious theme]
ALMA: Spread out to look for clues!
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: No clues here.
ANDRÉ: Or here.
JUNIOR: Mayday! Help!
ALMA: What?
EDDIE: You found a clue?!
JUNIOR: No, my mustache is itchy again.
Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.
SQUID GUY: Have a squiggly day!
Whoooops!!
Oh no!!
EDDIE: Code clue! Repeat, code clue!
RAFIA: Come on!
SQUID GUY: Ah-ha! Uh! Ooh! Oh! oh, oh! No!
EDDIE: Squid Guy had flyers like that yesterday.
[gasp] Is he the one littering?
ALMA: I dunno, he always goes after them.
SQUID GUY: Gotcha!
[sigh] I've gotta do something about all this paper!
JUNIOR: [sniffs]
Ahhhhhh, thanks, Alma.
ALMA: André, litter!
ANDRÉ: Huh?
JUNIOR: [gasp]
Got it!
ANDRÉ: Thanks for catching my litter,
Mustache Man.
JUNIOR: You're welcome!
RAFIA: Psst! Look!
Could be a clue!
ALMA: Are they the ones littering?
ALMA: Guess not.
KIDS: [gasp] Litter!
RAFIA: I got it!
RAFIA: You're not faster than me, litter!
ALMA: Ah-ha!
Hold on, all the litter around here...
didn't come from the bulletin board.
There was other trash on the ground too.
So, where is all the litter coming from?!
I gotta think about this...
ALMA: It was the wind that blew the papers off...
the bulletin board.
ALMA: And those kids almost littered...
but they picked up their trash.
RAFIA: Alma, the bottle?
ALMA: Whoa.
I almost littered too.
And I didn't even notice!
[gasp] I've got it!
I know what to do!
ALMA: I solved the case!
RAFIA: You did?
JUNIOR: Ooh, tell us. Who's littering?
ALMA: We are!
KIDS: [gasp] Say what? Really?
EDDIE: Plot twist!
JUNIOR: Um, excuse me...
so you're saying we're the litterbugs?
ALMA: Uh-huh!
But not on purpose.
It can happen by accident.
ALMA: Sometimes we drop trash without noticing.
And when we leave trash on the ground, it's litter.
ANDRÉ: Oh, like my gum wrapper when I missed my pocket!
ALMA: Exactly!
ANDRÉ: No way!
Whoa! Great catch Rose!
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: Ha! I gotchu.
ANDRÉ: It definitely went in this time.
ALMA: Yes! It helps if we're all more careful
with our own trash.
ANDRÉ: I hear ya.
We have to pay attention to what we do with it.
ROSE THE PARK WORKER: That's what I'm talking about!
JUNIOR: You can count me... i-i-iii-aaachooo!
Ahhh, I feel so much better now!
I gotta pick-up my mustache litter.
ALMA: [giggles] Nice, Junior!
JUNIOR: We're not litterbugs.
We're clean-up bugs.
KIDS: In ya go! Bye litter!
KIDS: Yeah!
SQUID GUY: Hoo-hoo-Hoooo!
No more paper litter for me!
ALMA: We will defeat the litter!
Little by little.
ALMA: [giggle]
