ALMA: "Socks for Sale"
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: And... listo!
If I were a dog, I'd love this!
Whaddya think, Chacho?
[Chacho growls]
ALMA: That's another doggy-approved toy
for tomorrow's Bomba Fundraiser.
Okay, you can let go now, Chacho.
[Chacho growling]
PAPI: Nice sh*t Alma!
I'm so glad we found another way to use our old towels.
JUNIOR: So, why are we making dog toys again?
ALMA: 'Cause everyone's donating stuff to sell at the fundraiser.
PAPI: And the money we make goes to the Community Center
to buy Drums for the Bomba Class.
JUNIOR: [chuckles] Then I hope a lot of dogs buy these!
MAMI: Esto sí!
JUNIOR: Mami, are you donating...
that to the Bomba Fundraiser?
MAMI: Uh-huh.
We don't use this old stool anymore,
so I'm turning it into a plant stand.
Like that one...
ALMA: Whoa Mami, how did you think of doing that?
MAMI: Well, I looked at it and asked myself...
"Hmm... What else can this be?"
MAMI: [singsongy] Fixing an old stool...
...that someone can reuse.
A plant stand it will be, with spots of red and blue...
ABUELO: [efforts] Ay, ay, ay... ay...ay...
[efforts] Well, here are my books for the sale!
PAPI: Whoa! Let me help you.
Whoa!
ABUELO: [efforts] Rubin to the rescue, huh?
BOTH: [chuckle]
ALMA: Hmmm... I'm getting an idea...
Hey, Junior, what if we donated something too?
JUNIOR: Yeaaaaaah!! I'm in!!
ALMA: Hmmm... Nope. Anything here?
Nope.
There's gotta be something in here I can donate.
But what?
JUNIOR: Alma!
JUNIOR: Look at all the stuff I found for the Bomba Fundraiser.
ALMA: Sa-weet!
Is there anything left in your room?
JUNIOR: Yeah, a ton of stuff...
Oops.
But I don't play with these toys anymore.
So now, someone else can play with them!
ALMA: Ooh, good thinking, Junior!
Let's seeeee...
what don't I use anymore...
ALMA: [gasp] Baby socks!
That's it!
My feet are waaaay too big for them now.
[Chacho barks]
ALMA: Lo siento, Chacho. These aren't for you.
They're for babies.
Hey, Junior! Feel this...
KIDS: Ahhhhhhh...
JUNIOR: Sooooo soft!
Babies are gonna love these.
ALMA: Yup.
Just like I did when I was a baby.
JUNIOR: Awww! You were so cute, Alma.
ALMA: I sure was.
Whoa, I've got so many socks I can't wear anymore.
ALMA: I'm gonna donate all of them.

But I think he likes those socks even more.
ALMA: [gasps] Socks?!
ALMA: Nooooooooooooo...
EDDIE: What's wrong?
ALMA: Those are for the Bomba Fundraiser!
ALMA: Chachooo! No!
Put that down!
Please, stop!
ALMA: Aw...

ALMA: Ugh. My socks are all dirty.
Ew...
And they're covered in doggy drool.
What am I gonna do?
EDDIE: Well...
what do you usually do with dirty socks?
KIDS: You wash them!
[♪♪♪]
KIDS: Whoa! Hey! Chacho!
ALMA: Time for a sock check!
Clean. Clean.
KIDS: Clean!
ALMA: Clean, but wet.
We've gotta dry these...
KIDS: Whoa! Hey Chacho!
KIDS: Goooo!
ALMA: [efforts]

ALMA: [efforts]
UNCLE NESTOR: Ah! ALMA: Sorry Uncle Nestor!
UNCLE NESTOR: Whoa!
ALMA: [out of breath]
Are these socks getting heavier?!
EDDIE: Uhh... Alma?
KIDS: [chuckle]
ALMA: [gasp] [sigh] [Chacho barks]
ALMA: [chuckle]
Needs more drying.
[efforts]
KIDS: [blowing]
ALMA: Touch test!
ALMA: We need more fan power!
KIDS: [blowing]
ALMA: Finally!
The socks are washed, dried, and ready to donate!
Are we good or what?
[Chacho barks]
ALMA: Not again! Chacho! No! Stop!
EDDIE: Still clean! JUNIOR: Still dry!
ALMA: [sigh] But...
what's that..?
KIDS: Holes!
ALMA: Oh, no! Chacho chewed holes in the socks!
JUNIOR: Can we wash the holes out?
ALMA: I wish...
No one can wear these socks now.
Ugh. What am I gonna do?
I gotta think about this...
ALMA: Junior and I are donating stuff we don't need anymore...
PAPI: I'm so glad we found another way...
to use our old towels.
ALMA: Ohhh riiight, Papi turned those old towels...
into dog toys...
ALMA: And Mami turned an old stool into a new plant stand.
MAMI: Well, I looked at it and asked myself
"Hmm... What else can this be?"
ALMA: Oh! I know what to do!
JUNIOR: Chacho! Noo!
EDDIE: Chacho! No! JUNIOR: Drop it, boy!
EDDIE: Drop it, boy! Come here!
ALMA: Okay, let's see...
What else can these socks be?
ALMA: Ear warmers?
ALMA: Nope.
Hmm... maybe they could be...
softballs?
ALMA: Heyyy, my sock kinda looks like a hairy monster.

ALMA: "Alma's Animal Show"
ALMA: Uncle Nestor, why are we putting away...
all this camera stuff?
UNCLE NESTOR: Alas, your Papi does not need me this week!
PAPI: Ah, Nestor.
I had to cancel my show this week,
but I always need you.
You're the best camera person in the Bronx.
UNCLE NESTOR: Gracias, Rubén.
I am but a part of the team.
And it takes a team to make a show.
ALMA: Waitaminute!
Papi, did you say there's no animal show this week?
But all your fans will be so disappointed.
PAPI: I know.
But I don't have time this week.
ALMA: Oooh...
Oh!
Hey, Papi, what if I did your show this week?
PAPI: That'd be great, m'ijita.
I would love to see Alma's Animal's Show!
[chuckles]
ALMA: I'll do it! I have so many ideas!
And my friends will help!
ALMA: If we're gonna make an animal show,
then we're gonna need some... animals!
ANDRÉ: Hey! My guinea pigs can be in our show.
You know Freddy and Fernie.
They can race or something.
ALMA: Yeah yeah yeah! A race!
We can call that part of the show,
"Freddy and Fernie's Fun Run."
ANDRÉ: Freddy and Fernie will be so excited when I tell them.
They've never been on camera before.
RAFIA: You know, my cat Ladli, can do a skateboard trick.
ALMA: What? Really?
That's awesome!
"Ladli the Shredding Kitty!"
JUNIOR: Excuse me... I have a question.
What can I do?
ALMA: Hmm, didn't you teach Chacho...
how to bark when you sing?
JUNIOR: Oh yeeeah!
He's the best back-up singer.
ALMA: Sa-weet!
"Doggie Duet" will be our third part.
JUNIOR: Did you hear that Chacho? [howls]
[Chacho howls]
JUNIOR: He's very, very excited.
RAFIA: Hold up, Alma.
What do you want to do on our show?
ALMA: Hmmm... let's see...
you're doing all the animal parts.
So, I'll do the other stuff.
KIDS: Okay! Great Alma, great!
JUNIOR: [howls]
KIDS: [laugh]
ANDRÉ: Don't be nervous. You're gonna be great.
JUNIOR: I've got snacks!
ALMA: Okay, let's get started!
JUNIOR: Freddie and Fernie's fun run, take one!
ALMA: Action!
ANDRÉ: Is there anything we can do...
to make this race more exciting?
ALMA: Hmm...
When I watch baseball with Abuelo,
there's a sports announcer.
Rodriguez hits the ball...
it's outta the paaark!
ANDRÉ: Sports Announcer, huh..?
RAFIA: Oo, waitasec, I've got something for André...
JUNIOR: [chomping]
ALMA: Hehe.
RAFIA: There, that's better.
ANDRÉ: Thanks, Rafia.
Hello everyone, this is André,
we're live from Freddy and Fernie's Fun Run!
Ooh, I love being a sports announcer.
I never would've thought of this, Alma!
Thanks!
ALMA: You're welcome! Okay, let's try it again!
JUNIOR: Freddy and Fernie's Fun Run, take two!
ALMA: Wait, your tie...
ALMA: Action!
ANDRÉ: Freddy and Fernie are off!
Freddy takes the lead!
Now it's Fernie!
ALMA: This is way way way more exciting!
ANDRÉ: They've been training their whole lives...
for this moment!
Who... will... win?!
ALMA: [gasp]
Cuuut!
I messed up.
RAFIA: What happened?
ALMA: You were great, André,
but I forgot to press record on the camera.
Sorry!
ANDRÉ: That's okay.
All that racing made Freddy and Fernie hungry.
ALMA: Okay!
While they eat, we can do Rafia's segment with Ladli.
JUNIOR: And I'll get some more popcorn!
ANDRÉ: All set Alma.
RAFIA: Umm, Alma.
Something's not right with...
RAFIA: ...All of this.
It's kind of... blah.
ALMA: Huh, I know what you mean.
Maybe it needs some color?
RAFIA: Ooh!
ANDRÉ: I've got this!
JUNIOR: And I've got the popcorn!
ALMA: I love it!
KDS: Wow! Oh wow!
RAFIA: Color is just what we needed.
Good idea, Alma!
Ready to shred, Ladli?
She's ready.
ALMA: Okay, people... and cat, let's record this!
ALMA: Oh... Let me fix the skateboard,
it's backwards.
ALMA: There.
JUNIOR: Ladli the Shredding Kitty!
Take one!
CAT: [meow!]
ALMA: Action!
ANDRÉ: Wow! That was amazing!
Can we see it, Alma?
ALMA: Yeah, sure.
JUNIOR: Ladli the Shredding Kitty!
Take one!
ALMA: Oh no!
I didn't get Ladli on camera.
Sorry, everyone.
This camera stuff is hard!
Do you think Ladli can do it again?
RAFIA: Sure, but, um, how about after she takes a cat nap?
ALMA: [groans]
RAFIA: It's okay, Alma.
Hey, why don't we do Junior's part while Ladli rests?
ALMA: Okay.
I can't believe I missed Ladli's trick.
JUNIOR: Ready!
ALMA: I've got it this time.
There's nooooo way I'll mess up.
RAFIA: Doggie Duet, take one!
ALMA: Action!
JUNIOR: Row, row, row your boat.
Gently down the...
JUNIOR: Chacho, it's your turn.
Get ready, boy...
Row, row, row your boat.

JUNIOR: Hey, it worked!
ALMA: Great, go again Junior!
JUNIOR: Row, row, row your boat.
Gently down the...
[Chacho howls]
ALMA: [gasp] Cut! [groans]
The battery ran out.
I'm gonna need to charge it.
Sorry.
JUNIOR: That's okay.
I need to get more treats for Chacho.
ALMA: Huh, I wonder if I should ask someone else to take over?
I keep messing up the camera.
Hmm, I gotta think about this...
ALMA: I kept trying to do the camera and other things...
at same time.
I guess that's why I kept messing up...
Waitaminute, what did Uncle Nestor say about making a show?
UNCLE NESTOR: And it takes a team to make a show.
ALMA: A team?
What does being on a team mean when you're making a show?
Oh! I know what to do!
ALMA: Let's take a quick break while the camera charges.
Be right back!
[cymbals crash]
JUNIOR: Who wants more popcorn?
ALL: Sure! Ok! [Chacho bark]
UNCLE NESTOR: One-hundred fifty and...
Oh, hola, Alma, qué tal?
How's the show going?
ALMA: Actually...
I have a question.
What did you mean when you said it takes a team to make a show?
UNCLE NESTOR: Ah, well, you need a team of people helping you.
Each person does a different job to get the show made.
UNCLE NESTOR: So, you have the performers.
They're the ones on camera...
I am performing!
ALMA: Oh, so Rafia, André, Junior,
and our pets are the performers!
UNCLE NESTOR: And you have the caterers.
They feed everyone.
Juice? Cookie? Mofongo?
ALMA: [pretend chomping]
Okay, Junior keeps bringing us popcorn.
He's like our caterer.
UNCLE NESTOR: Súper!
And the wardrobe person...
makes sure everyone has the right clothes...
And with this crown, I anoint thee,
Queen Alma of the Bronx!
ALMA: [giggles] Rafia got André some sports announcer clothes.
UNCLE NESTOR: Mmhmmm...
Sounds like everyone on the team has a job.
What's your job?
ALMA: Well, doing a show was my idea...
and I came up with more ideas to make it better.
UNCLE NESTOR: Aaah... So, you're the director.
ALMA: The director?
UNCLE NESTOR: Yes, the director.
Action!
Try it that way!
I love it! You were great!
Does that sound like you?
ALMA: Yesss!
So, I'm the director, huh?
But I need help with the camera?
I've been having trouble with that part.
UNCLE NESTOR: Ah Bueno, that's okay.
Sounds like you need a camera person.
Ahem... someone who's good at cameras.
Someone who's your uncle.
ALMA: [giggles] Would you be our camera person, Uncle Nestor?
Por favor?
UNCLE NESTOR: Claro!
Let's make a show!
ALMA: [giggles]
ALMA: Places everyone....
Action!
