ALMA: "Lost in the Bronx"

[train rumbles by]
ALMA: We're taking the train to get lunch
and I am hungry!
Hey, Mami, why are we taking a train to a restaurant?
MAMI: Because, Azua isn't just any restaurant.
Tía Gloria and I used to eat there all the time.
TÍA GLORIA: Uh -huh!
It was our favorite Dominican restaurant!
UNCLE NESTOR: Just wait 'til you take one delectable bite of the pollo guisado.
[chef's kiss] Mwah!
ALMA: Mmm..
chicken stew.
Sounds ah-may-zing!
MAMI: ¡Vamos! Let's get to lunch.
TÍA GLORIA: Let's go!
MAMI: Oh!
Oye, Almita.
What's our "If We Get Separate"" plan for the subway?
ALMA: If I get separated from you on the train,
ALMA: I should get off at the next stop
and wait until you come to get me.
MAMI: That's my girl!
TÍA GLORIA: Abuelo made a bunch of "If We Get Separated" plans
for us when we were little.
'Cause Lulú would sometimes wander off and get lost.
EDDIE: For real?
ALMA: You got lost?!
MAMI: Yep! Like this one time...
MAMI: I got super distracted and Tía Gloria and Abuelo went up an escalator.
But I didn't!
EDDIE: So what did you do?
MAMI: I stayed right where I was. Like Abuelo always said...
MAMI: [in a deeper voice] "When you have a plan,
it's important to stick with it."
TÍA GLORIA: And it worked!
We went back down and found little Lulú where we last saw her.
MAMI: And I ran and gave them both a big hug!
Like this...
Ahh! [effort]
MAMA: [chuckles] TÍA GLORIA: [laughs]
TÍA GLORIA: Is this a hug or a squeeze?
ALMA/EDDIE/UNCLE NESTOR: [laughs]

ALMA: What subway stop do we get off at?
UNCLE NESTOR: Oh, I can never remember,
but it's okay... we'll just get off when they do.
MAMI: Oh.. Azua's mofongo was so good!
TÍA GLORIA: Yup!
[guitar strumming]
UNCLE NESTOR: Ah.. let's sit back and enjoy the music!

ALMA: Huh?!
ALMA: Uh.. Uncle Nestor.
Where'd our family go?
UNCLE NESTOR: What do you mean?
They're right there-
UNCLE NESTOR: Uh oh,
they got off the train..
ALMA: Are we lost?
UNCLE NESTOR: No te preocupes,
you're never lost when you're with me!
I'll just text Gloria to let her know we're still on the train.
UNCLE NESTOR: Hmm.
No signal here.
ALMA: It's okay, we have the "If We Get Separated" plan!
All we have to do is get off at the next stop
and wait for them.
UNCLE NESTOR: Brilliant, Almita!
[train rumbles by]
ALMA: And now we wait.
♪♪♪
ALMA: [sigh] Waiting is so hard.
[pigeon coo]
UNCLE NESTOR: You know...
this pigeon reminds me of a dance I once performed called,
"Coo Coo To You!"
UNCLE NESTOR: Let me perform it for you.
Ah! And please record it for Gloria.
She will want to see this!
ALMA: Okay.
UNCLE NESTOR: [clears throat]
Hah!
Ha-ah!
Good morning, Pigeon, I say this to you!
[singing]Coo-coo, coo-coo!
Coo-coo to you!
UNCLE NESTOR: [singing] Coo-coo, coo-coo!
Coo-coo to you!
CROWD: [cheering] [clapping]
UNCLE NESTOR: ¡Ay, gracias! Thank you!
ALMA: [giggles] UNCLE NESTOR: Thank you!
UNCLE NESTOR: Ah, the people of the Bronx
have such magnificent taste in art.
ALMA: When do you think Mami's going to get here?
I'm getting hungry.
UNCLE NESTOR: [stomach growls]
Yo también.
Let's see if I can text Gloria now.
UNCLE NESTOR: Ah, I have a signal!
Nope it's gone.
Ah! There's one!
Ugh, gone again.
UNCLE NESTOR: Over here?
Ah no.
¡Por aquí!
Sí.. no. ALMA: [sigh]
UNCLE NESTOR: Wait...
I've got it..
UNCLE NESTOR: Call, Mi amor.
[phone rings]
[call disconnects]
UNCLE NESTOR: Ugh! ¡Ay, no!
No more battery!
ALMA: [sigh] We waited a long time.
Should we just go to the restaurant?
Maybe they're waiting for us there?
UNCLE NESTOR: Marvelous idea!
To Azua!
ALMA: Yes! I'm hungry!
[subway brakes screeching]
[subway doors chime]
[traffic] [car honks]
UNCLE NESTOR: Hm..
ALMA: Which way is the restaurant?
UNCLE NESTOR: Hm.
Ah, follow me!
UNCLE NESTOR: Actually, I meant to go this way...
ALMA: Oof-
Uhm, do we know which way we're going?
UNCLE NESTOR: Well.. it's been a very long time
since I've been to the restaurant.
ALMA: I don't think we know which way we're going.
Maybe it's this way?
UNCLE NESTOR: Could be...
Did you hear them say what street the restaurant is on?
ALMA: No.
UNCLE NESTOR: Me neither.
Hmm, let me think...
UNCLE NESTOR: The last time we went to the restaurant,
we saw some cute ducks waddling into a cupcake shop.
UNCLE NESTOR: And then, wait!
That's it! Azua is next to a cupcake shop!
I'm certain of it.
Uh.
Well, almost pretty certain.
UNCLE NESTOR: ¡Vamos!
I bet they're waiting for us right now.
ALMA: I just hope they don't eat
the pollo guisado without us!
UNCLE NESTOR: I know.
They would never dream of doing that!
[traffic]
UNCLE NESTOR: [sniffs]
My nose thinks that the restaurant is close.
UNCLE NESTOR: ¡Mira, Almita! Woohoo!
ALMA: I wonder if the ducks are still there.
UNCLE NESTOR: I guess we'll find out because Azua is right...
Here!
UNCLE NESTOR: Huh?!
UNCLE NESTOR: This can't be right.
ALMA: Where's the restaurant? And the ducks?
UNCLE NESTOR: I'm sure Azua was right next to the cupcake shop.
But here's the cupcake shop...
ALMA: But no Azua.
[sigh]
UNCLE NESTOR: It's gone!
ALMA: [sigh]
Now, I'll never get to try the best pollo guisado in the Bronx.
UNCLE NESTOR: Sad but true, I'm afraid.
ALMA: Do you think Mami, Tía Gloria, and Eddie
went home when they saw the restaurant was gone?
UNCLE NESTOR: I think they would've waited for us,
so we could be sad about the pollo guisado together.
ALMA: So where are they?
UNCLE NESTOR: [sighs]
ALMA: And what should we do?
I gotta think about this..
MAMI: Oye, Almita.
What's our "If We Get Separate"" plan for the subway?
ALMA: If I get separated from you on the train,
I should get off at the next stop
and wait until you come to get me.
MAMI: That's my girl!
ALMA: Mami and I had a great plan,
so how did Uncle Nestor and I still get lost?
ALMA: [sigh]
We waited a long time.
Should we just go to the restaurant?
ALMA: Maybe we didn't wait long enough?
Is that it?
MAMI: Like Abuelo always said...
[in a deeper voice] "When you have a plan, it's important to stick with it."
[chuckles]
ALMA: Hmm..
Oh! I know what to do.
ALMA: Uncle Nestor, we need to
follow the "If We Get Separated" plan.
So that means, we have to go back to the subway and wait.
ALMA: No matter how long it takes!
UNCLE NESTOR: Another brilliant idea, Almita!
¡Vamos!
[train rumbles by]
ALMA: Ugh, they're not here.
[sigh]
I guess we're waiting again.
UNCLE NESTOR: Maybe you should look once more.
AUTOMATED MTA ANNOUNCER: Stand clear of the closing doors, please.
ALMA: [gasp] They're here!
ALMA: ¡Mami!
MAMI: Alma!
TÍA GLORIA: Yeah!
ALMA: Mami, your "If We Get Separated" plan totally worked!
UNCLE NESTOR: Once we remembered to stick to it!
EDDIE: I'm starving! Is it time to eat?
ALMA: Umm, we've got bad news. The restaurant is gone.
UNCLE NESTOR: Yes! Azua is gone forever!
TÍA GLORIA: Nuh-uh.
I called them right before we left and made reservations.
UNCLE NESTOR: But Azua was right next to the cupcake shop.
ALMA: We found the cupcake shop but no restaurant!
TÍA GLORIA: That's because Azua is next to a cookie shop,
not a cupcake shop!
[kisses] Mwah!
ALL: [laughs]
UNCLE NESTOR: Onwards to Azua! Pollo guisado awaits!
ALMA: Cookies and cupcakes are great,
but I want pollo guisado!
That's my plan and I'm sticking with it!

ALMA: "New Neighbors"
[train rumbles by]
JUNIOR: The movers are moving!
See any kids yet?
ALMA: Nope. Not yet!
JUNIOR: I'm so excited
I can't stand still!
ALMA: Me too!
We're getting new neighbors!
Woohoo!
JUNIOR: [gasp] Look, they have a couch!
We have a couch!
MAMI: Mmhmm.
ALMA: [gasp] They have a TV!
JUNIOR: We have a TV!
MAMI: We do.
ALMA: [gasp]
They have a kid!
JUNIOR: [gasp] I'm a kid, and so are you!
He looks your age. Do you think they have another kid my age?
ALMA: Let's find out.
ALMA: Junior, aren't you coming?
JUNIOR: Uh, can you find out and let me know?
ALMA: Sure, but don't you wanna come?
JUNIOR: I do, but..
uhm.. I'm feeling kinda,
kinda...
ALMA: Tired? Bored? Shy?
JUNIOR: Shy!
Yeah, that's it.
MAMI: How 'bout you go over and say hi
and Junior and I will bake up some
cookies for our new neighbors.
ALMA: I'm on it!
JUNIOR: Woohoo!
My feet are excited again!
MAMI: [chuckles]
Yeah, Junior.
BETO: [effort]
ALMA: Hi, I'm Alma. I live next door.
BETO: Hey, Alma. I'm Alberto,
but my friends call me Beto.
ALMA: What should I call you?
BETO: ¡Beto! Of course!
ALMA: ¡Qué chévere!
BETO: Huh?
ALMA: That's how my family says, "cool," in Spanish.
BETO: Oh. My family says "'¡Qué padre!"
ALMA: Sa-weet!
I think we're gonna be friends.
ALMA: Ah! What's that!?
EMI: Uh-uh-uh!
Come here, Manchas!
That's Manchas,
and I'm Emi!
ALMA: Hey.. I'm Alma.
EMI: Hi, new neighbor Alma.
[in dino voice] Roar! Nice to meet you.
[in normal voice] Bye!
ALMA: [gasp] Hey!
You have a little sister, and she likes dinosaurs!
BETO: Um, yeah?
ALMA: I have a little brother, and he loves dinosaurs!
BETO: ¡Qué padre! They should totally meet.
ALMA: Yeah, I'll go get Junior!
Operation New Neighbors!
BETO: New Friends!
ALMA: [breathless] Junior, Junior!
Whew!
Beto.
Sister.
Dinosaurs.
JUNIOR: Beto has a sister
and she likes dinosaurs?!
ALMA: Whew! Exactly.
Is he good or what?
JUNIOR: Um, excuse me, who's Beto?
ALMA: Our new neighbor!
JUNIOR: [gasp]
New! Uh! Neighbors! New! Uh! Neighbors!
Let's go!
MAMI: Tell them we made cookies!
ALMA/JUNIOR: We will!
JUNIOR: Ready, Steggie?
[in dino voice] I can't wait for new neighbor friends!
ALMA: Mmhmm.
ALMA: ¡Hola, neighbors!
BETO: Hi, neighbors!
EMI: Roar, roar!!
ALMA: Beto, Emi! Presenting...
[in rhythm] Da-da-da-da!
¡Mi hermanito, Junior!
JUNIOR: Hi!
EMI: Hi!
BETO: What's up, Junior?
EMI: Junior. I have a very important question for you.
What are your three top favorite dinosaurs?
JUNIOR: Stegosaurus, diplodocus, and tyrannosaurus rex.
Of course.
EMI: Me too!
ALMA: I knew they'd be friends.
JUNIOR: Hi, Emi.
It sure is nice to meet you,
and- [gasp]
JUNIOR: Oh-okay, bye.
EMI: Hm?
ALMA: What just happened?
BETO: Uhm, maybe your brother got shy?
ALMA: Yeah, he was feeling shy before too.
Oh! You know how sometimes you can be shy
when you're at someone else's house?
BETO: Yeah, for sure.
ALMA: Maybe Junior would be less shy if Emi came to my house.
BETO: Good thinking! I'll ask my parents.
BETO: Operation New Neighbors.
ALMA/BETO: New Friends!
ALMA: This is gonna be so good.
JUNIOR: Roar! ALMA: Ahh!
BETO: ¡Hola! Wassup, Junior?
JUNIOR: I like your dinosaur.
[in dino voice] Me too. I'm Steggie! Roar!
EMI: Hi, Junior! Hi, Steggie!
[in dino voice] I'm Tulip the T-Rex!
JUNIOR/EMI: [giggles]
CHACHO: [barks]
JUNIOR: No, Chacho!
CHACHO: [barks]
JUNIOR: Chacho, no barking at Steggie!
Steggie doesn't like it.
Chacho!
No, down boy!
EMI: Okay, bye.
CHACHO: [barks]
BETO: Uh.. What just happened?!
ALMA: I have no idea.
BETO: That did not go the way I thought it'd go.
You know?
ALMA: Yeah, me too.
Hm, Emi was shy at my house...
BETO: And Junior was shy at my house.
ALMA: What if we go someplace that's not anyone's house?
BETO: Huh.
I haven't been to the playground here.
ALMA: Ooh, you'll love it. It's your..
ALMA: New! Uh! Playground!
ALMA/BETO: New! Uh! Playground! New! Uh! Playground!
ALMA: Beto and I are definitely friends now.
[chuckles]
[birds chirping]
JUNIOR: Those are the swings.
That one is squeaky...
ALMA: And that's Mr. Piragua man.
BETO: Oh.
EMI: What's a piragua?
ALMA: It's shaved ice with flavored syrup.
It tastes amazing!
JUNIOR: The best flavors are coco, cherry, and mango.
Always ask for extra syrup.
Always.
EMI: Oh! In San Diego, we have something like that,
but we call them raspados.
BETO: Yeah, we had a Raspado Guy on our beach.
Ahh, I love the beach.
ALMA: Me too!
BETO: Hey, pew!
JUNIOR: So, any questions?
EMI: Yes.
Would a dinosaur ride a swing or a slide?
JUNIOR: Slide.
EMI: Is New York City pizza as good as everyone says it is?
JUNIOR: Yes! [giggles]
EMI: What's a bagel?
ALMA: It's round like a donut, but it tastes more like bread.
EMI: I'm really going to like it here.
[in dino voice] Roar, roar!!
EMI: [in normal voice] That means, "Let's play!"
EMI/JUNIOR: [chuckles] Roar-roar!!
BETO: Operation New Neighbors..
ALMA: New Friends was a success!
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar! Roar!!
ALMA: Are we good or what?
MAMI: ¡Oigan, niños! Wanna cookie?
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar! Roar!!
ALMA: Yeah! BETO: Yum!
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar! Roar!!
MAMI: Emi! Junior! How about you?
JUNIOR: Roar-
EMI/JUNIOR: Cookies!!
JUNIOR: [gasp]
CHACHO: [barks]
EMI: [gasp]
JUNIOR/EMI: No, thanks.
CHACHO: [barks]
MAMI: Chacho, shh. Be a good boy.
ALMA/BETO: What. Just. Happened?!
JUNIOR: [sighs]
EMI: Hm.
BETO: Emi and Junior were having fun together
then, boom!
Something changed!
ALMA: Yeah, but what?
Hmm..
I gotta think about this.
JUNIOR/EMI: Roar!! [giggles]
ALMA: They were having so much fun together.
What did I miss?
CHACHO: [barks]
JUNIOR/EMI: No, thanks.
ALMA: Huh. Manchas showed up and Chacho got all barky.
So, is it the pets?
JUNIOR: Okay, bye.
CHACHO: [barks]
EMI: Okay, bye.
ALMA: Our pets were there that time too.
Wait a minute..
Oh!
I know what to do!
CHACHO: [begs]
ALMA: We gotta talk to Junior.
C'mon!
BETO: Okay..
ALMA: Hey, Junior. I was wondering...
do you like hanging out with Emi?
JUNIOR: Oh, yeah. She's awesome!
ALMA: Okay.. What about Manchas?
JUNIOR: I do not like hanging out with Manchas.
Did you see how he crawled all over Emi and her mom?
Ugh!
ALMA: Got it. Thanks!
BETO: Oh! We should go see my sister, huh?
BETO: Hola, Emi.
Quick question. Do you like hanging out with Junior?
EMI: Oh yeah! He's awesome!
ALMA: And does Chacho make you nervous?
EMI: Totally!!
He's so barky and slobbery.
I mean dinosaurs don't get slobbery or barky.
They just stomp and growl like this.
[in dino voice] Roar! Roar!!
ALMA: So that's it!
They're nervous around our pets!
BETO: But, what do we do now?
ALMA: I have a sa-weet idea.
CHACHO: [growls]
JUNIOR/EMI: Roar! Roar!!
JUNIOR: [in dino voice] Hi new neighbor!!
Roar!!
EMI: [in dino voice] Hi new neighbor!!
Roarr!!!
ALMA: Nothing like a no-pet playdate
to make Junior and Emi happy.
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar, roar!!
BETO: I can't decide who's louder,
little brothers or little sisters.
ALMA: I think it's big brothers and big sisters.
ALMA: [in dino voice] I'm an Almasauratops!
BETO: [giggles] [in dino voice] And I'm a Betosaurus Rex!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
BETO/ALMA: Roar! Roar! Roar!!
EMI: Are you Cretaceous or Jurassic dinosaurs?
BETO: [in dino voice] I dunno. I'm just the kind that goes,
Roar! Roar! Roar!
EMI/JUNIOR: [giggles]
JUNIOR: Roar!
EMI: Roar!! Roar!
BETO: Operation New Neighbors..
ALMA/BETO: New Friends!
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar!! Roar!!
ALMA: [giggles]
EMI/JUNIOR/BETO: Roar!!!
ALMA: Nothing like new neighbors,
new friends,
and loud brothers and sisters!

ALMA: No.
UNCLE NESTOR: Me neither.
Hmm, let me think...
UNCLE NESTOR: The last time we went to the restaurant,
we saw some cute ducks waddling into a cupcake shop.
UNCLE NESTOR: And then, wait!
That's it! Azua is next to a cupcake shop!
I'm certain of it.
Uh.
Well, almost pretty certain.
UNCLE NESTOR: ¡Vamos!
I bet they're waiting for us right now.
ALMA: I just hope they don't eat
the pollo guisado without us!
UNCLE NESTOR: I know.
They would never dream of doing that!
[traffic]
UNCLE NESTOR: [sniffs]
My nose thinks that the restaurant is close.
UNCLE NESTOR: ¡Mira, Almita! Woohoo!
ALMA: I wonder if the ducks are still there.
UNCLE NESTOR: I guess we'll find out because Azua is right...
Here!
UNCLE NESTOR: Huh?!
UNCLE NESTOR: This can't be right.
ALMA: Where's the restaurant? And the ducks?
UNCLE NESTOR: I'm sure Azua was right next to the cupcake shop.
But here's the cupcake shop...
ALMA: But no Azua.
[sigh]
UNCLE NESTOR: It's gone!
ALMA: [sigh]
Now, I'll never get to try the best pollo guisado in the Bronx.
UNCLE NESTOR: Sad but true, I'm afraid.
ALMA: Do you think Mami, Tía Gloria, and Eddie
went home when they saw the restaurant was gone?
UNCLE NESTOR: I think they would've waited for us,
so we could be sad about the pollo guisado together.
ALMA: So where are they?
UNCLE NESTOR: [sighs]
ALMA: And what should we do?
I gotta think about this..
MAMI: Oye, Almita.
What's our "If We Get Separate"" plan for the subway?
ALMA: If I get separated from you on the train,
I should get off at the next stop
and wait until you come to get me.
MAMI: That's my girl!
ALMA: Mami and I had a great plan,
so how did Uncle Nestor and I still get lost?
ALMA: [sigh]
We waited a long time.
Should we just go to the restaurant?
ALMA: Maybe we didn't wait long enough?
Is that it?
MAMI: Like Abuelo always said...
[in a deeper voice] "When you have a plan, it's important to stick with it."
[chuckles]
ALMA: Hmm..
Oh! I know what to do.
ALMA: Uncle Nestor, we need to
follow the "If We Get Separated" plan.
So that means, we have to go back to the subway and wait.
ALMA: No matter how long it takes!
UNCLE NESTOR: Another brilliant idea, Almita!
¡Vamos!
[train rumbles by]
ALMA: Ugh, they're not here.
[sigh]
I guess we're waiting again.
UNCLE NESTOR: Maybe you should look once more.
AUTOMATED MTA ANNOUNCER: Stand clear of the closing doors, please.
ALMA: [gasp] They're here!
ALMA: ¡Mami!
MAMI: Alma!
TÍA GLORIA: Yeah!
ALMA: Mami, your "If We Get Separated" plan totally worked!
UNCLE NESTOR: Once we remembered to stick to it!
EDDIE: I'm starving! Is it time to eat?
ALMA: Umm, we've got bad news. The restaurant is gone.
UNCLE NESTOR: Yes! Azua is gone forever!
TÍA GLORIA: Nuh-uh.
I called them right before we left and made reservations.
UNCLE NESTOR: But Azua was right next to the cupcake shop.
ALMA: We found the cupcake shop but no restaurant!
TÍA GLORIA: That's because Azua is next to a cookie shop,
not a cupcake shop!
[kisses] Mwah!
ALL: [laughs]
UNCLE NESTOR: Onwards to Azua! Pollo guisado awaits!
ALMA: Cookies and cupcakes are great,
but I want pollo guisado!
That's my plan and I'm sticking with it!

ALMA: "New Neighbors"
[train rumbles by]
JUNIOR: The movers are moving!
See any kids yet?
ALMA: Nope. Not yet!
JUNIOR: I'm so excited
I can't stand still!

We have a couch!
MAMI: Mmhmm.
ALMA: [gasp] They have a TV!
JUNIOR: We have a TV!
MAMI: We do.
ALMA: [gasp]
They have a kid!
JUNIOR: [gasp] I'm a kid, and so are you!
He looks your age. Do you think they have another kid my age?
ALMA: Let's find out.
ALMA: Junior, aren't you coming?
JUNIOR: Uh, can you find out and let me know?
ALMA: Sure, but don't you wanna come?
JUNIOR: I do, but..
uhm.. I'm feeling kinda,
kinda...
ALMA: Tired? Bored? Shy?
JUNIOR: Shy!
Yeah, that's it.
MAMI: How 'bout you go over and say hi
and Junior and I will bake up some
cookies for our new neighbors.
ALMA: I'm on it!
JUNIOR: Woohoo!
My feet are excited again!
MAMI: [chuckles]
Yeah, Junior.
BETO: [effort]
ALMA: Hi, I'm Alma. I live next door.
BETO: Hey, Alma. I'm Alberto,
but my friends call me Beto.
ALMA: What should I call you?
BETO: ¡Beto! Of course!
ALMA: ¡Qué chévere!
BETO: Huh?
ALMA: That's how my family says, "cool," in Spanish.
BETO: Oh. My family says "'¡Qué padre!"
ALMA: Sa-weet!
I think we're gonna be friends.
ALMA: Ah! What's that!?
EMI: Uh-uh-uh!
Come here, Manchas!
That's Manchas,
and I'm Emi!
ALMA: Hey.. I'm Alma.
EMI: Hi, new neighbor Alma.
[in dino voice] Roar! Nice to meet you.
[in normal voice] Bye!
ALMA: [gasp] Hey!
You have a little sister, and she likes dinosaurs!
BETO: Um, yeah?
ALMA: I have a little brother, and he loves dinosaurs!
BETO: ¡Qué padre! They should totally meet.
ALMA: Yeah, I'll go get Junior!
Operation New Neighbors!
BETO: New Friends!
ALMA: [breathless] Junior, Junior!
Whew!
Beto.
Sister.
Dinosaurs.
JUNIOR: Beto has a sister
and she likes dinosaurs?!
ALMA: Whew! Exactly.
Is he good or what?
JUNIOR: Um, excuse me, who's Beto?
ALMA: Our new neighbor!
JUNIOR: [gasp]
New! Uh! Neighbors! New! Uh! Neighbors!
Let's go!
MAMI: Tell them we made cookies!
ALMA/JUNIOR: We will!
JUNIOR: Ready, Steggie?
[in dino voice] I can't wait for new neighbor friends!
ALMA: Mmhmm.
ALMA: ¡Hola, neighbors!
BETO: Hi, neighbors!
EMI: Roar, roar!!
ALMA: Beto, Emi! Presenting...
[in rhythm] Da-da-da-da!
¡Mi hermanito, Junior!
JUNIOR: Hi!
EMI: Hi!
BETO: What's up, Junior?
EMI: Junior. I have a very important question for you.
What are your three top favorite dinosaurs?
JUNIOR: Stegosaurus, diplodocus, and tyrannosaurus rex.
Of course.
EMI: Me too!
ALMA: I knew they'd be friends.
JUNIOR: Hi, Emi.
It sure is nice to meet you,
and- [gasp]
JUNIOR: Oh-okay, bye.
EMI: Hm?
ALMA: What just happened?
BETO: Uhm, maybe your brother got shy?
ALMA: Yeah, he was feeling shy before too.
Oh! You know how sometimes you can be shy
when you're at someone else's house?
BETO: Yeah, for sure.
ALMA: Maybe Junior would be less shy if Emi came to my house.
BETO: Good thinking! I'll ask my parents.
BETO: Operation New Neighbors.
ALMA/BETO: New Friends!
ALMA: This is gonna be so good.
JUNIOR: Roar! ALMA: Ahh!
BETO: ¡Hola! Wassup, Junior?
JUNIOR: I like your dinosaur.
[in dino voice] Me too. I'm Steggie! Roar!
EMI: Hi, Junior! Hi, Steggie!
[in dino voice] I'm Tulip the T-Rex!
JUNIOR/EMI: [giggles]
CHACHO: [barks]
JUNIOR: No, Chacho!
CHACHO: [barks]
JUNIOR: Chacho, no barking at Steggie!
Steggie doesn't like it.
Chacho!
No, down boy!
EMI: Okay, bye.
CHACHO: [barks]
BETO: Uh.. What just happened?!
ALMA: I have no idea.
BETO: That did not go the way I thought it'd go.
You know?
ALMA: Yeah, me too.
Hm, Emi was shy at my house...
BETO: And Junior was shy at my house.
ALMA: What if we go someplace that's not anyone's house?
BETO: Huh.
I haven't been to the playground here.
ALMA: Ooh, you'll love it. It's your..
ALMA: New! Uh! Playground!
ALMA/BETO: New! Uh! Playground! New! Uh! Playground!
ALMA: Beto and I are definitely friends now.
[chuckles]
[birds chirping]
JUNIOR: Those are the swings.
That one is squeaky...
ALMA: And that's Mr. Piragua man.
BETO: Oh.
EMI: What's a piragua?
ALMA: It's shaved ice with flavored syrup.
It tastes amazing!
JUNIOR: The best flavors are coco, cherry, and mango.
Always ask for extra syrup.
Always.
EMI: Oh! In San Diego, we have something like that,
but we call them raspados.
BETO: Yeah, we had a Raspado Guy on our beach.
Ahh, I love the beach.
ALMA: Me too!
BETO: Hey, pew!
JUNIOR: So, any questions?
EMI: Yes.
Would a dinosaur ride a swing or a slide?
JUNIOR: Slide.
EMI: Is New York City pizza as good as everyone says it is?
JUNIOR: Yes! [giggles]
EMI: What's a bagel?
ALMA: It's round like a donut, but it tastes more like bread.
EMI: I'm really going to like it here.
[in dino voice] Roar, roar!!
EMI: [in normal voice] That means, "Let's play!"
EMI/JUNIOR: [chuckles] Roar-roar!!
BETO: Operation New Neighbors..
ALMA: New Friends was a success!
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar! Roar!!
ALMA: Are we good or what?
MAMI: ¡Oigan, niños! Wanna cookie?
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar! Roar!!
ALMA: Yeah! BETO: Yum!
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar! Roar!!
MAMI: Emi! Junior! How about you?
JUNIOR: Roar-
EMI/JUNIOR: Cookies!!
JUNIOR: [gasp]
CHACHO: [barks]
EMI: [gasp]
JUNIOR/EMI: No, thanks.
CHACHO: [barks]
MAMI: Chacho, shh. Be a good boy.
ALMA/BETO: What. Just. Happened?!
JUNIOR: [sighs]
EMI: Hm.
BETO: Emi and Junior were having fun together
then, boom!
Something changed!
ALMA: Yeah, but what?
Hmm..
I gotta think about this.
JUNIOR/EMI: Roar!! [giggles]
ALMA: They were having so much fun together.
What did I miss?
CHACHO: [barks]
JUNIOR/EMI: No, thanks.
ALMA: Huh. Manchas showed up and Chacho got all barky.
So, is it the pets?
JUNIOR: Okay, bye.
CHACHO: [barks]
EMI: Okay, bye.
ALMA: Our pets were there that time too.
Wait a minute..
Oh!
I know what to do!
CHACHO: [begs]
ALMA: We gotta talk to Junior.
C'mon!
BETO: Okay..
ALMA: Hey, Junior. I was wondering...
do you like hanging out with Emi?
JUNIOR: Oh, yeah. She's awesome!
ALMA: Okay.. What about Manchas?
JUNIOR: I do not like hanging out with Manchas.
Did you see how he crawled all over Emi and her mom?
Ugh!
ALMA: Got it. Thanks!
BETO: Oh! We should go see my sister, huh?
BETO: Hola, Emi.
Quick question. Do you like hanging out with Junior?
EMI: Oh yeah! He's awesome!
ALMA: And does Chacho make you nervous?
EMI: Totally!!
He's so barky and slobbery.
I mean dinosaurs don't get slobbery or barky.
They just stomp and growl like this.
[in dino voice] Roar! Roar!!
ALMA: So that's it!
They're nervous around our pets!
BETO: But, what do we do now?
ALMA: I have a sa-weet idea.
CHACHO: [growls]
JUNIOR/EMI: Roar! Roar!!
JUNIOR: [in dino voice] Hi new neighbor!!
Roar!!
EMI: [in dino voice] Hi new neighbor!!
Roarr!!!
ALMA: Nothing like a no-pet playdate
to make Junior and Emi happy.
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar, roar!!
BETO: I can't decide who's louder,
little brothers or little sisters.
ALMA: I think it's big brothers and big sisters.
ALMA: [in dino voice] I'm an Almasauratops!
BETO: [giggles] [in dino voice] And I'm a Betosaurus Rex!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
BETO/ALMA: Roar! Roar! Roar!!
EMI: Are you Cretaceous or Jurassic dinosaurs?
BETO: [in dino voice] I dunno. I'm just the kind that goes,
Roar! Roar! Roar!
EMI/JUNIOR: [giggles]
JUNIOR: Roar!
EMI: Roar!! Roar!
BETO: Operation New Neighbors..
ALMA/BETO: New Friends!
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar!! Roar!!
ALMA: [giggles]
EMI/JUNIOR/BETO: Roar!!!
ALMA: Nothing like new neighbors,
new friends,
and loud brothers and sisters!
[giggles]
JUNIOR: Roar!!
EMI: Roar!!!
ALMA/BETO: Roar!
EMI/JUNIOR: Roar!!
ALL: [laughs]
