[Grunting]

Maya,
what are you doing?

Can't talk.

Must concentrate.

Maya thinks she can't
have too much talent.

She's right.

Awk!

Ow!

Yes! 5 minutes!
A new world record!

You could've warned
somebody, you know.

Sorry, Paco.

But you have to admit my talent
is developing nicely.

Talent for what,
mija?

For the community center play
auditions this weekend!

You never know what the director
is going to ask of you.

Oh, yes,
Fabian's new play.

I heard a lot
about it.

You did?
It's supposed to be top secret.

What did you hear?

Well, I heard
it was about
a 10-year-old girl.

[Gasp]
A 10-year-old girl?

I'm a 10-year-old girl!

Oh, I was born
to play that role!

Yeah, you and a thousand
other 10-year-old girls.

Yes, but can they balance
a spoon on their nose

and a plate on their head
as they hula-hoop?

I can!

¡Voy a salir en la obra!

Whoa! Whoa!

[Muttering]

Aah!

Ohh. Ay-yi-yi.

Don't worry, mija.

Preparation is
what you want.

Find out what Fabian
is looking for

to help you
in your audition.

Hmm. That's it!

¡Eso es!

Ah. She had to say
those two words.

MAN: Well,
if everything is set up

for the auditions
tomorrow,

that wraps up
this meeting.

I heard you
lost your dog, Star.

Yeah.
I put up flyers everywhere.

I looked in the schools.
I looked in the parks...

Maya, I know I'm going to
hate myself for asking this,

but...what are we doing?!

Shh! They might hear you.

Who?

PACO: Aah!

Shh!

That wasn't me.

Then who was it?

[Muffled screaming]

Paco? What are you
doing here?

Wishing I was home.

We'll go in a minute,
but right now,

Fabian's holding
a meeting
about auditions,

and I need to know
what he's looking for
in the leading role.

So shush!

Oh!

Hope I find
my little star.

What luck!

They're talking about
the star of the play.

Well, I'm here to help.
Describe her to me.

First of all,
she's beautiful.

Beautiful.
That sounds like me.

And very hairy.

Heh! You're right.

It does
sound like you.

Oh, yeah!

Shh!

She has
alert-looking eyes...

droopy ears...

and a cold nose.

BOTH: Cold nose?

Shush! Shush! Shush!

My star loves to jump,
roll on the ground,

and even play dead.

Wow! That sounds
like a meaty role.

♪ They call me a star ♪

♪ 'Cause no one's on par ♪

♪ Sure, they can
sing and dance ♪

♪ But they will never go far ♪

♪ Because they can't
sing and dance like a star ♪

Look no further, Fabian.

I'm your star.

¡La estrella!

To be or not to be...

You got
the second part right.

Next!

Was I that bad?

Are you kidding?
You were great!

Oh!

Nice.
See you tomorrow.

You're great
with that ball.

Really?

But I don't need someone
who's great with a ball.

Uh...

I hear you're an artist,

and I can't very well direct
and paint the sets, too.

So...
see you tomorrow!

Uh...

And don't forget
your brushes.

Next!

Maya, you're up.

Thanks.

Aah!

Next!

Come on, Paco.

PACO: Awk! Awk!
Coming through.

There's good.

[Inhales]

Next!

Wait! I didn't do anything.

And I already know
you're not right.

See what a good director
I am? Next!

Paco! Take it away!

[Cheering and applause]

Auditions are over!

Ooh.

So how did
the auditions go?

Did you get a role
in the play?

¿Un papel en la obra?

Yeah. I'm the painter.

That's great, mijo!

What kind of painter?

The kind that paints the sets
and stays out of Fabian's way.

But no worries.

Now I don't have to
memorize any lines.

How about you, mija?

If you don't mind, mamá,

I would rather not
talk about it,

because talking about it
would only make me
even more upset!

I mean, what was Fabian
thinking?!

I was totally prepared!
Cold nose and everything!

But did I get the role?!
Nooooo!

Cold nose?

Long story.

Well, I'm sorry you
didn't get the role,
mija.

Who did?

Nobody.

Auditions were cut short
due to...

uh...
technical difficulties.

Then you still
have a chance.

What do you mean?

Preparation
is important,

but so is
determination.

You're right, mamá!

¡Eso es!

Ay, ay, ay.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

Just when you thought
it was safe to come out
of your house.

Ay-yi-yi.

Hello. Funny running
into you here.

Huh?
Maya, I live here.

Really? Small world.

I live 10 blocks
from here.

Guess that makes me
your neighbor.

Aah, my arm! Aah!

No, that makes you
my shadow!

[Groan]

Wait!

Please tell me why
you didn't cast me
as the star.

I did everything you
told your stage manager
you wanted--

alert-looking eyes...

Oh!

Droopy ears...

Cold nose.

Oops.
Well, it was cold.

Achoooo!

Ha ha ha!
I wasn't describing my star.

I was describing
my star.

OK, what?

Awk!

Hey, who turned out
the lights?!

Come on, Star.

[Barking]

She was lost,
but I found her yesterday.

[Squawking]

Now, if you'll excuse me,
I'm taking Star for a walk.

Determination.
Determination.

[Sniff]

Peaches. Mmm!

I love peaches!

In fact, I think peaches
are my favorite fruit.

You're kidding?

Remember our pet shop?

Didn't you have fun
filming our commercial?

All right,
back to peaches.

Love 'em.

What do I have to do
to make you go away?!

Tell me what
you're looking for

in the star
of your play.

I don't know.

It's not easy
to put into words,

but I do know
she has to have a certain...

pizzazz.

Pizzazz?

Pizzazz.

Pizzazz!

Pizzazz.

Hmm. Pizzazz.

MAYA: Pizzazz! Pizzazz!

Pizzazz! Pizzazz!

Pizzazz!

Pizzazz! Pizzazz!

Pizzazz!

Man!

[Sigh]

Pizzazz.

You did a head spin?

Yes, plus lots of
singing and dancing.

Ah. But nothing worked.

Fabian didn't even
give me a chance.

Like, you actually stood
on your head and spun?

Yes, yes, yes.

Maybe Fabian's right--
I don't have pizzazz.

Maybe I'm not a star.

Spun all the way around?

Miguel!

Miguel!

Sorry. Just trying to
get a mental picture,

but it's not coming to me.

I get the picture!

Got it?

Got it.

Got it.

Maya, listen to me.

It doesn't matter
what Fabian thinks.

You'll always be
a star in my eyes.

Mine, too.

And if Fabian
can't see it,

he needs glasses.

Thanks, mamá and papi.

[Doorbell rings]

I'll get it!

I didn't want
that role, anyway.

Would you like the role?

[Gasp]

Yes, I would love it!

What made you
change your mind?

Actually, today was
the second day of auditions,

and none of the girls
had Maya's...

Pizzazz?

Yes.

Oh! Thank you
so much!

Uh, you can thank me
from there.

I still have
one good arm.

Ha ha.

Who painted this?

I don't know,

but isn't Fabian's head
way bigger than that?

Ha ha ha!

Awk! Do you like it?

Paco has talent, no?

FABIAN: I'm here!
Let the show begin!

Oh, no!

Oh, no!

Get rid of it!

Quick!
Stand in front of it.

Hi, guys.

How's the set wall
coming along?

Ah, really cool.

Best wall ever.

Can you guys move?

Uh....

[Chuckling]

CHRISSY: Oh, Fabian!

Just a second,
Chrissy!

I'll be back here
to check on that wall.

Whew!
That was close.

Here are my sketches
and fabric thoughts
for the costumes.

What do you think?

I hate it!

You will never find
another designer

in time
for opening night.

Hmm!

I love it!

Aw, you're so sweet.

Fabian, there's a mistake
in my script.

My character
doesn't have any lines.

Of course she doesn't.

The play is a surrealist
production.

It's symbolizing
the girl's dreams.

Ohhhh.

How's that, again?

She's asleep through
the whole thing.

Asleep? Ugh!

The star can't sleep
through the whole play!

Well,
actually, she doesn't.

See?

"Then the girl wakes up.
The end."

Brilliant, isn't it?

Right. Brilliant.
Pure genius.

But here's an idea.

How about the star
wakes up in
the middle of the play

for a glass of water?

Then she could dance
her way to the kitchen

and sing on her way
back to bed, yeah?

No.

Well, then what if
she sleepwalks--

No, no, no!

Better yet, singwalks?
Yeah?

No.

OK. Well,
how about she--

No! No! No!

Triple no!

Do you want the role
or not?

Yes.

Perfect.
Now good night.

Stop! You call that dancing?!

OK. After you hit
the first mark,

you dancers in the back
pirouette counterclockwise...

[Paco snoring]

MAYA: They won't even
know I'm gone.

Hi, Maggie.

Oh!

Oh, hi, Maya.

I like your mask.
It's so pretty.

Almost as pretty
as my costume.

Yeah, those pj's
are, uh...nice.

Hey, I've got an idea.
Let's switch roles.

That way, you could
wear these nice pj's.

That's really sweet
of you, Maya,

but I'm actually having
a lot of fun dancing.

Come on, Maggie.

I'm gonna need you to
try on your costume

for the opening number.

OK!
I'll be right back.

Well, look what we have here.

♪ They call me a star ♪

♪ 'Cause no one's on par ♪

♪ Sure, they can
sing and dance, but... ♪

Maggie, we're back!

Oh, but I'm not Mag--

Let's go!
We don't have all day!

OK!

Oh, great. Here's my chance.

And 1, 2, 3!

Go left.
Go left.

OK.

Ow!

Oh, you meant
your left.

Look out!

Cut!

What do you think
you're doing?

Oh, I think
he's talking to you.

No. I'm talking
to you!

Me? Ha ha ha!

Yes, you.

Ha ha ha!

Maya?!

[Snoring]

Back to bed!

And 1, 2, 3.

Great! Way to go!

Good dancing!

[Cracking]

Maya!

Sorry. Bad habit.

And 1, 2, 3.

Maya!

Oh. Could you
hear that?

[Sigh]

And 1, 2, 3.

[Sigh] Hey, guys.
Whatcha doing?

Painting
our fingers off.

Ooh, Fabian's not
going to like this.

You'd better paint over it
before he sees it.

We will. After lunch.

I don't mind helping you paint
while you're gone.

Wow! Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Cool!

FABIAN: Maya!

Ooh!

Fabian!

Oh, now, I know
what you're thinking.

But I can explain.

Oh. You're really
going to let me explain?

OK. Well, um, yeah,
see, yes,

I am holding a brush,
and yes,

that is a very funny
picture of you,

and yes, it would
make sense that
I'd draw it, but...

you know what?

Can I explain it all
to you later?

Right now
I'm extremely tired,

and I need to get
some shut-eye.
Bye-bye!

There you go! Bye!

[Paco snoring]

Oh, great.
Chrissy can sew it.

Chrissy!

Shh!

Sorry. Sorry.

Chrissy!

Over here!

Who, us?
Is she talking to us?

I think so!

What do you
want us to do?

MAYA: Chrissy, Chrissy,
this way! Over here!

Which way?

Hey!

Chrissy! Chrissy!

[All shouting]

Chrissy! Chrissy!
Look at me!

Maya!

What? I--I didn't
get out of bed.

I've been here
the whole time.

Ask anybody.

And yet you still
managed to get things
all tied up.

Huh?

[Moaning]

Oh, sorry.

Sorry isn't going to cut it.

All day, you've been
nothing but a pest.

A pest?
Like really determined?

No, like really annoying!

[Gasp]

So go home and figure out
if you really want to be

a part of this production
or not.

Oh!

I don't have to go home.
I already know.

I quit!

[All gasp]

You can't quit.

Opening night is just
a few days away.

Well, it looks like
you're just going to
have to find another pest

because this one is out!

[Fabian groans]

Cha!

Woooaahh!

Ahh! Finally
a moment alone.

Mmm. Everything
is so peaceful.

[Screaming]

Uh, my super sensitive
fatherly instincts

tell me
Maya might be upset.

The starring role is nothing
like I thought it would be!

I don't have any lines!

I don't sing!
I don't dance!

In fact, I sleep
through the entire play!

And he called me a pest!

A pest for what?
I don't do anything!

What?

I know. Crazy, huh?

Fabian said it's some kind of
cereal production.

Awk!
Don't you mean surreal?

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
sure, sure, sure,
sure, sure.

Look at the bright side.

You won't have
opening night jitters.

But I want
opening night jitters!

I want to dance!
I want to sing!

OK, so maybe this role isn't
what you thought it'd be,

but I'm sure Fabian
will give you more to do
in his next play.

¿Su próxima obra?

I doubt it.

Not after she quit.

Quit?

Quit?

Thanks a lot,
Picasso.

Maya, we didn't
raise you to quit.

You wanted the role,
and you got it.

Yes, papi, but that was before
I knew I didn't have to be
conscious to get it.

It doesn't matter.

The right thing to do
is to honor
your commitments.

Uh...

Well,
Maya has a point.

I do?

Sure.

If you want to
make a promise one day

and then break it the next,

you should have
the right to do it.

But first, ask yourself
these two questions:

Do you care about
all the other people

who put their time
and energy
into the play?

And are you the only
person who matters?

Hmm?

[Sigh]

Rudy, none of
these girls are right.

They don't have
the same sparkle
Maya had.

Sorry, girls.

But thanks
for coming.

What are you
going to do?

The play's tonight.

There's only
one thing I can do:

call it off.

MAYA: What? And not
honor your commitments?

That would not be cool.

Maya!

Sorry for quitting.

And I'm sorry
for being so...

so...

Mean, rude, pesky?

All of the above.

So, does this mean
you're back?

If you'll have me.

Oh, thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!

[Applause]

[Cheering and applause]

FABIAN: Let's hear it
for our cast,

and let's hear it for our star!

[Maya snoring]

Let's hear it for our star!

Oh!

[Sigh]

Gotcha!

[Laughter]

Now, that's pizzazz!

[Cheering]

MAYA, VOICE-OVER:
It's a funny thing about
making a commitment--

even though sometimes you don't
want to follow through,

once you do,
you're glad you did.

[Cheering]

[Laughter]
