People always ask me,
"Do you like being a twin?"

Well, the truth is,
sometimes it's great,

and sometimes, well,
it's not so great.

Like this one time when my twin
seemed like he had a twin...

MIGUEL: OK...everybody here?

Good.

Listen up.

Hey!

¿Que pasa?

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

¿Hola?

Hey!

¿Hola?

Hey!

Lemme in! Hey! Hey!

¡Hola!

Just like we practiced.
No way.

¡Hola!

Never give up.

Hey!

Now go get 'em!

Ugh.

Yay!

Whoo hoo!

MAYA: ¡Miguelito,
hermanito!

What a speech!

Let's gooo!

Ohh.

¿Que pasa?

No escuche.

I did not hear.

Oh, well.
No big deal.

Just keep the ball
moving, short stuff.

Like we practiced.

Si, si.

Like we practiced...
short stuff.

No way.

¡Chico!

¡Tito!

¿Donde?

Whoa!

Uh...

[Cheering]

[Buzzer]

All right!

Miguel!

Wait! ¡Esperen!
Miguel! Miguel!

Hey, Miguel.
Hey, Maya.

Hi.

Hola.

My man!
Like the hair.

¿Que pasa?

MIGUEL: You should
really take a look
at this tape papi has

of the great
Brazilian superstars
from the seventies.

Ha! Some people
seem to think I took
my style from them.

Oh! ¿De veras?

Are you sure

they didn't
take their style
from you?

[Laughter]

You got an good grade
on that test?

You've got to be joking!

I don't think so.

You'll know
when I'm joking,

'cause you'll be
laughing, my man.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Uh!

[Grunting]

Aqui esta.

Gracias.

Ready for recess,
short stuff?

Ah.

I bet I could sink
a 3-pointer from half-court

with my eyes closed
and backwards.

Right!

No way!

[Pigeon coos]

Boo-yeah!

Oh.

That's what I said
when he said
he didn't like her,

but then she said
she liked him,

so he decided that
he liked her, too, so--

Who's he again?

MAGGIE: Oh, you know him.

He's the boy who hangs out

with the 3 boys
who used to hang out
with those other boys.

Um...I'm sorry, guys.

I'll be back in a minute.

Hey, Tito.

Oh. Hey, Maya.

You want some company?

So...

So.

Tito, is everything
all right?

So so.

Oh.

No quiero ser pequeno.

I am tired of being "pequeno."

You know, "little man",
"short stuff."

Pero, Tito,
tu eres pequeno.

I know I am little.

But when can I be big man?

Tall stuff?
Like Miguel!

Miguel?

Si, Maya.

Miguel es un nino,
pero ya es un nino grande.

When you say "Miguel,"
you mean...

¡Tu hermano! ¡Mi primo!

¡Miguel!

MAYA: Ohh!

That Miguel?
My brother?

Um, Tito--

When we play soccer,

I only pass the ball,
and I don't make goal!

I tired of laughing.

I want to be funny
and make jokes, too!

But you are funny,
Tito.

Not like Miguel.

Oh, brother.

Miguel is my hero.

Tito, I know it's
hard hanging out

with bigger kids
so much, but I think
you just need

a little more
confidence.

If only I could be
like Miguel.

[Imitating Miguel]
Hey, my man!

¿Que pasa?

Ha ha ha!
That's pretty good!

¡Eso es, Tito!

You can be
like Miguel!

You already do
his voice.

So just look
at the way
he does things

and do the same.

Maybe that will
make you feel more
confident.

¡Ay yi!

Ah.

[Girls giggling]

¡Si!

¡Que buena idea, Maya!

¡Gracias!

MAYA: No problem, Tito.

That's what I'm
here, uh, for.

Uhh...whoooa! Hey! Tito!?

How do I get
down from here!?

Wahoo!

[Hair dryer whirring]

Oh, yeah.

Huh?

Wow.

Yes, I am onto
the new hair.

How you doing?

Oh, yeah.
Looking good.

Huh?

Uh-uh.

Hey, Theo, my man!

You are on my seat!

You know, I think I am.

I wouldn't want to
break up a matched set.

Hey, Miguel, my man.
What is up?

[Giggling]

Hey, Tito.
Uh...what's all this?

Ask Maya, my man.
Fue su idea.

Great.

Great!

Um...

I should have known.

Oh.

[Girls giggling]

All right, all right,
very funny!

I can take a joke.

No joke, my man.

You know when
I am joking,

'cause
you will laugh.

[Laughing]

Hi, Miguel.

Yeah. Uh...hi.

Hey. How you doing there?

Hola, Miguel.
I'll...

see you
in class later.

Only if you go
back to the second
grade, my man.

Hey, what's up?

We going in or ¿Que?
My man?

That's it! What's
this all about?

What is what
all about, my man?

You know
what I mean.

Following me around,
imitating me.

I think everybody's
had enough.

I don't know.
I'm not sick of it yet.

Me, neither.

I think I could go
for some more.

It's kind of
flattering, huh?

Yeah. I never knew you had
so many funny little habits.

It's kind of interesting.

What habits?

Like the way
you run your hand
through your hair

when you get upset.

I don't run my hand
through my--

Tito, it was
funny at first,

but I think
it's time
to cut this out.

I-I sorry, Miguel.
I just want to be cool,

like my big cousin.

Look.

Ugh!

You weren't
making fun of me?

Oh, no! You are the coolest
person I know.

So I thought
if I be like you...

I will be cool
and a hero, too, maybe.

Cool?

Hero?

Seguro.

Oh, my gosh!

He totally
worships you, Miguel!

That is so cute.

Yeah. It's like
he's your fan!

Me? I have a fan?

Si.

Es cierto.

Really?

But if you don't
like this,

maybe this is not
a good idea.

No. I-I mean...no.
It's ok.

I didn't mean
to make you think

I didn't like it.
It--it--

I just meant that,
you know,

if you want to be
like me,

at least let me help
you out a little.

Ah.

Brother.

You would do this?
For me?

Aww...

you are best big cousin!

Hey, anything for
my little cousin.

Right, short stuff?

Pues...when do we start?

Why not right now?

Well...in a minute,
anyway.

[Laughter]

Brother!

Oh.

Tito's really taking
this Miguel thing
seriously.

It's so cute!

I know.

And Miguel's being
such a good sport about it.

I actually think
he likes it.

What a cousin!

It makes me want to be
like Miguel, too.

Yeah!

Yeah!

You might try just
throwing in a little
eyebrow thing

right at the end.

You know like, uh--

Oh, the little
eyebrow thing.

Yeah, nice!

Uh...

you guys, you've
been doing that
all day now.

We have?

Really?

Yes.

Maybe you've done
enough for today.

Enough what?

Yes, enough what?

Enough of that!

Of big Miguel
and little Miguel.

Come on, Tito.

I mean, I know this
was sort of my idea...

Yes, and I just want to
thank you for that.

Miguel is just
the coolest!

Come on, Maya.
It's so cute!

But it's going
to Miguel's head.

He's acting like
he really is

the coolest guy
on the planet.

I think maybe
you're a little jealous

of all the attention
Tito is giving Miguel.

No way, Maggie.

That's ridiculous.

I am definitely
not--Whoa!

Jealous.

Are you guys still
doing everything
the same?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Well, listen Miguel
one and Miguel two.

Mama and papi just told me

they have to go to the pet
convention downtown tomorrow.

OK.

OK.

OK.

And we have to
look after the animals
in the store all day!

Nnnno can do, hermanita.

How can I help Tito
work on his cool

if I'm busy with
the pet store all day?

Oh, maybe little
Miguel here

can take a break
from his training.

But we still have a lot
of work to do on his cool.

Right, Tito?

Oh, yes. Much work
to do on cool.

There is no way
you're getting out
of helping tomorrow!

OK. OK.

Keep your cool, Maya.

I think we can probably
fit it in.

Yeah, keep cool, Maya.

We can probably
fit it in.

[Squawk]
Fit it in!

I...am...keeping...
my...cool.

BOTH: If you say so.

Huh? Jinx!

Ha ha ha!

Listen, Maya.

I know that this whole
"Miguel's so cool" thing
came from you--

That's not really--

Ah, ah! Not a word.

I appreciate it.

And I'm just saying,
you seem a little
tense lately.

Huh?

And I just
want you to know,

if you need any help in,
you know, the "cool" area,

I'm here for you.

Me, too.

He is very good teacher.

Aah! You guys are
driving me nuts!

Not cool.

Not at all cool.

[Squawk]
Not cool.

I've created a monster.

SANTIAGO: OK, so, um,
Maya, Miguel...

here are the keys
to the store.

Bueno, papi.

Have I mentioned
what a big, big
responsibility this is?

Si, papi. Sabemos que es una
responsabilidad muy grande.

Bueno. Confio que ustedes
abran la tienda.

Don't worry.

We'll open the store.

And we'll clean the cages
and feed the animals
and give them fresh water.

¡Ah!

¡Ah!

Y no se olviden
de cerrar la tienda!

BOTH: ¡Papi! We'll
close the store!

Bueno.

I guess you're right.

Hey!

I'm older.

Yeah! By 3 minutes!

Be cool, Maya.
It's cool, papi.

OK. We really
should get going.

I just want to make sure that
they understand what--

[Imitating Santiago]
A big, big responsibility
this is!

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha!

Hey, where'd you
learn that?

Ha ha!

Don't worry.

We won't let you down,
mama and papi.

Ok. Just remember,
the only other set
will be with me.

My keys.

I just had them.

Where are they?

[Squawk]

Oh. Paco!

[Squawk]

I've been teaching
him something.

Watch!

¡Paco...busca mis
llaves, por favor!

[Squawk]

Las llaves. Las llaves.

Get the keys. Get the keys.

ALL: Wow.

Bueno. Uh, well,
if you really
think

you're ready
for this...

We do!

OK, so...

I guess
that's it--Oof!

ROSA:
Come on, honey.
We're late!

Listen
to abuela.

Have fun!

Good-bye!

¡Adios!

Kids, be good!

So, you see,
Tito,

Miguel
is on the job,

and when Miguel
is on the job,

everything's
cool.

Ahem.

Doing this for them
was my idea.

I mean, if you
remember, I--

Really? It's so
cool, I thought
it was my idea.

Es verdad, Maya.
It is a cool idea.

I know, because
I was the one--

OK, well, let me
show you how to eat
breakfast, Tito.

There's a lot
to learn.

Now, come on, hurry.

What about our cool walk?

¡Que lindos!

Maya, isn't it nice
the way Miguel and Tito

are doing everything
together?

Remember,
light on the sugar.

Like this?

Don't talk
with your mouth full.

Not cool.

MAYA: Can I talk to you
for a minute?

Great. Keep up
the good work.

Oh, oh. Lose the straw
in the o.j.

Very yesterday.

¿Que pasa, hermanita?

Miguel, I think
this whole thing
with mini-Miguel

has gone far enough.

I want Tito back--
the old Tito.

Yeah, well...

I don't really think Tito
wants the old Tito back.

He seems to like
the new, improved Tito--
cool mint flavor.

But Tito should
be himself,

and like himself
for who he is.

He is himself.

It's just that his new self
is a little more like me.

And I think he likes me
and himself just fine.

Huh, never mind.

OK. Time to do the dishes.

MIGUEL: Now, some
people like hot water,
but I prefer cool.

Ay.

TITO: Come here, boy.
That's it.

How's it going
in there, guys?

We're cool!

MAYA: Great.

Come here, boy.

Here, boy.

Oooh.

Still all right in there?

Great!

I'm glad.

[Ruff ruff ruff]

MAYA: Oh!

Maya? You OK?

MAYA: I'm fine! I'm fine.

We need to help her.

She said she was fine.

Anyway, isn't this cool,
playing with these puppies
and stuff?

Uh, yeah.

[Maya grunting]

Well, it's done.

Thanks a lot
for all the help.

I really
appreciate it.

It's cool.

Anything for my sister.

Well, come on, let's
get out of here.

I need a bath
and maybe a nap.

Me, too.

Oh, yeah, I don't know
how you're keeping
your eyes open.

We'd better close
the store and lock up.

I've got that, hermanita.

Come on, guys.

¿Ya terminaron?

Si.

Closing up.

OK, watch and learn.

Just press this little
button on the knob here

and close the door,
and we're cool.

So you don't need
the key to close it?

Nope. Just press the button.

But you do need
the key to open it.

Well, yeah, sure.

Uh...

Oh, no.

No me digas.

Miguel...

¿Que?

What is it?

The key!

MAYA: Not cool.

Definitely not cool.

We've got to find
some way in.

The animals.
And...oh, no!

[Squawk]

I left Paco
in there, too!

Great. Just great.

We're in trouble, guys.

Hello? We?

There's only one
person here who was
so busy being cool

that he closed the door
and locked the key inside.

Now, Maya...

She's right, abuelita.

I was too busy teaching
Tito how to act like me.

I guess having a fan
went to my head.

Mmm...don't feel too bad,
hermanito.

Maybe I was
a little jealous.

Ok, angelitos.

But how are we going to
get Paco out of there?

[Squawking]

Paco!

[Squawk]

Paco stuck!

Paco trapped!

¡Busca mis llaves,
por favor!

[Squawk]

Paco!

[Imitating Santiago]
¡Busca mis llaves,
por favor!

PACO: Get the keys.

Here, Paco!

Up here!

Yay!

Whooo-hooo!

You did it!

Aqui tienes.

Tito!
You're my hero!

That was amazing!

¿Tu heroe? Amazing?

Me?

Yeah. Mine, too.

Nobody I know
could've done that
but you, Tito.

Very cool.

PACO: Very cool.
Very cool.

Maya's right,
Tito, my man.

You're the coolest
guy I know

just the way
you are.

¡Vamonos!

Let's go upstairs!

Hey, Tito, you're
not walking like Miguel
anymore!

No, I just walk like Tito.

Miguel is cool,
but I'm cool my own way!

Right, tall stuff?

You got it, short stuff!

MAYA: So Tito went back
to being Tito,

and I was happy not to have
a double dose of Miguel.

Oh, no, I mean,
I like my brother,

but one of him is plenty!
