[subway rumbles] [traffic]

RAFIA: What's in that one?

MR. HUDA: [humming with music]

LUCAS: I love these toys. RAFIA: That one looks good...

MR. HUDA: [in rhythm] Ah -ha -ha -ha!

ALMA: What do you think's in that one?

LUCAS: I dunno. I wish I could see the toys inside all of them.

RAFIA: But the surprise is the best part!

ALMA: Mr. Huda always puts good stuff in here.

MR. HUDA: Oh dear, do you see that?

RAFIA: See what, Baba?

MR. HUDA: This machine's too full.

Maybe the three of you can help me with that? Eh?

KIDS: [gasp]

KIDS: Thanks, Mr. Huda! Yes!

RAFIA: Mwah! You're the best, Baba !

MR. HUDA: [chuckles] I know!

Kids: [Cheering, laughing]

RAFIA: Me first!

RAFIA: Ouuu, I wonder what's inside!

RAFIA: [gasp] A bouncy ball!

LUCAS: Nice!

ALMA: Alright, Lucas, your turn.

LUCAS: Yesss! A whistle.

[whistling]

MR. HUDA: Ee-e-e!!

[whistling continues]

[dogs howling]

RAFIA: [shouting] Okay, Alma, your turn!

[whistling stops] [a single whistle]

ALMA: Here goes!

ALMA: [gasp] Sa-weet! Friendship bracelets!

RAFIA: Nice!

One's for you and the other's for your best friend. So...

LUCAS: That's me!

RAFIA: Ah, sorry, Lucas, if anyone's Alma's best friend, it's me.

LUCAS: No, I'm sorry, Rafia.

I've known Alma since forever. So, that makes ME her best friend.

ALMA: I don't like where this is going.

RAFIA: Well... Alma and I are always playing basketball together,

like best friends do.

LUCAS: Welllll... Alma and I are always singing together...

[sings] Like best friends doo.

RAFIA: So...who's your best friend, Alma?

LUCAS: Yeah, who?!

ALMA: Yikes! Umm, you're both my friends...

LUCAS: Yeah, but who's your BEEEEST friend?

ALMA: Ahhh....

RAFIA: Let's race you around the block,

and the winner is Alma's best friend.

LUCAS: Deal!

ALMA: Hey, wait! Hold up, I should decide this!

RAFIA/LUCAS: Okay!

ALMA: [gasp] I can't decide this!

Uhh... I'll get back to you later.

RAFIA/LUCAS: Okay!

ALMA: Uhmm... much, much later.

RAFIA/LUCAS: [disappointed] Okay.

LUCAS: [whistles]

ALMA: This ones for me, but who do I give this one to?

ALMA: Rafia or Lucas?

How am I going to decide who's my best friend?

ANDREÉ: Whoawhoawhoa. Watch the masterpiece.

ALMA: Whoops! My bad, André.

ANDREÉ: No worries. I can fix it.

ALMA: Heeyyy, if anyone knows who my best friend is, it's André.

Can you help me with something?

ANDREÉ: Sure, what's up, Alma?

ALMA: I got these friendship bracelets from Mr. Huda's toy machine--

ANDREÉ: Ouu! Mr. Huda always puts good stuff in there.

ALMA: Totally. But now I have to give one to my best friend.

But I can't decide who that is.

ANDREÉ: [laughing] Well that's just silly.

ALMA: It is?

ANDREÉ: It's obvious that I'm your best friend!

We're always doing art together. Am I right, or am I right?

ALMA: Yikes! He has a point.

ANDREÉ: I am your best friend... RIIIIGHT??

ALMA: Um, I'll get back to you on that. I've, uh, gotta get home!

ANDREÉ: Okay! See ya later with my bracelet, bestie! [humming]

ALMA: Now I've got to add André to my list.

Picking a best friend is way, way, waaaay hard!

JUNIOR: Thanks, Eddie!

EDDIE: i¡Hola, prima! Want a clementine?

ALMA: No, thanks.

JUNIOR: But you love clementines, and these are super juicy.

EDDIE: Yeah, what's up, Alma?

ALMA: I have to give this bracelet to my best friend,

but I don't know who that is.

EDDIE: That's easy.

ALMA: Ahh, good!

EDDIE: It's me!

ALMA: Huh?!

EDDIE: Think about it, I'm family and a friend.

We're always dancing, sharing snacks...

Aaaaaand I've known you since you were born.

JUNIOR: Um, excuse me... but, Alma...

that means I'm your best friend, right?

JUNIOR: You're my sister and I've known you since I was born.

And we share snacks and lots of other things!

Like Mami, Papi, Abuelo, the house, the TV, the toothbrush...

ALMA: Toothbrush?

JUNIOR: [chuckles] Just kidding!

EDDIE: Okay, okay. But I'm Alma's faaaaavorite primo. Right, Alma?

JUNIOR: But I'm her faaaaavorite brother.

ALMA: Junior, you're my only brother.

JUNIOR: Yeah! You're favorite only brother!

EDDIE: Maybe we should let Alma decide who her best friend is.

EDDIE/JUNIOR: It's me, right?!

ALMA: Now I have to pick between Rafia, Lucas, André AND Eddie and Junior?

Ah! Um, I'll get back to you.

[door opens and closes]

[music plays on smart speaker]

MAMI: [humming] Heyyyy! Ready to bake some cooo -kiess?! Oo -Oo!!

[turns off speaker]

MAMI: ¿Qué pasa, Almita?

ALMA: [groans]... Lucas, Rafia, André, Eddie or Junior.

I can't decide who's my best friend.

Who's yours, Mami?

MAMI: Ah, That's easy, your Papi. I love him.

MAMI: Oh! You mean someone I'm not married to?

MAMI: [chuckles] Tía Gloria. We've been tight ever since I was born...

ALMA: Just like me and Junior.

MAMI: Oh wait, but we're related,

so maybe someone who's not family?

MAMI: Ah ha! It's Sandrita, I've known her since kindergarten.

Oh, but then, there're my college buddies,

Julie and Hanna... wait, it's Bennie! Hm-mm!

My old band mate... we can still jam for hours!

MAMI: [gasp] i¡Ay, mofongo!

Papi, Gloria, Sandrita, Julie, Hanna, Bennie?

I can't pick one!

ALMA: Me neither!

ALMA/MAMI: [exasperated groans]

ALMA: How am I gonna choose just one best friend from all of my friends...? [sigh]

CHACHO: [whimpers] [bark]

ALMA: Ayyy, Chacho, you want to be my best friend too?!

ALMA: Ugh!! I gotta think about this.

ALMA/LUCAS: [singing] As long as I'm with you!

RAFIA: [giggles]

ALMA: Huh... I really like spending time with all my friends.

ALMA: I care about all my friends and they care about me.

MAMI: [gasp] i¡Ay, mofongo!

Papi, Gloria, Sandrita, Julie, Hanna, Bennie? I can't pick one!

ALMA: Even Mami can't pick one best friend...

So why do I have to pick just one?

ALMA: Ohhhhhh... I know what to do!

MAMI: Oy.. How can I forget Nanfu?

She bakes the best cookies and taught me this very recipe!

ALMA: Hold the cookies! I have the answer!

MAMI: Phew! I'm glad one of us does. [chuckles]

ALMA: Be right back.

ALMA: I gotta go find everyone to tell them.

ALMA: Ah!

CHACHO: [bark] [panting]

ALMA: I'm so glad you're here! I've made a decision.

Drumroll, please...

EDDIE/JUNIOR/RAFIA/LUCAS: [drumroll sound]

ALMA: I've decided...

EDDIE/JUNIOR/RAFIA/LUCAS/A NDREÉ: Yess...

ALMA: ...that I don't have to decide.

EDDIE/JUNIOR/RAFIA/LUCAS/A NDREÉ: Huh??

ALMA: I'm not picking a best friend.

JUNIOR: Um, excuse me... but-but why?

ALMA: Picking a best friend is like picking a favorite friend. And I don't have a favorite.

ALMA: I mean, I have fun with ALL of you.

KIDS: You're right, Alma!/Yeah! You're right, Alma! /Yeah, Totally!

MAMI: Let's break it down and bake! [chuckles] Want to invite your friends?

ALMA: Hey, friends... wanna bake some cookies?

ALMA: I gave them to Junior.

JUNIOR: [in dino voice] We are friends! We sure are!

MAMI: [laughs] Buena idea.

CHACHO: [barks] [panting]

ALMA: Sorry, boy, these cookies are for human friends.

But, this one is for doggie friends.

CHACHO: [bite]

CHACHO: [chewing]

ALMA: I might have lots of favorite friends.

But I only have one favorite cookie... this one.

ALMA: This is harder than I thought.

JUNIOR: Keep looking, Alma!!

CHACHO: [barks]

ALMA: [gasp] Ahh... We'll never find Steggie this way.

Hey! That's what Mami said when she lost her earring.

But, how did we find it?

I gotta think about this...

MAMI: We've got to do this calmly. Deep breath in and out.

MAMI/RAFIA/ALMA: [breathes in, then out] Ahh...

ALMA: First we calmed down.

MAMI: Now let's retrace our steps until we find my earring.

ALMA: Hmm... so we went back to every place Mami had been.

ALMA/RAFIA: Zoomzoomzoomzooom-zoop!

RAFIA: [gasp] There it is!

ALMA: Ohhhhhh! I know what to do!

ALMA: Breathe in and out.

JUNIOR/ALMA: [breathes in, then out] Ahh....

JUNIOR: Oooh, I feel calm now.

ALMA: We gotta go back to where we last saw Steggie!

JUNIOR: Hmmm... we were upstairs playing Knock Your Socks Off.

ALMA: Let's go there!

[washing machine thumping]

CHACHO: [whimpers]

JUNIOR: This is where we last saw Steggie.

But -but he's not here!

ALMA: What else did we do?

Ahhhh. The Laundry Monster wanted our laundry and we went

to our rooms to get it!

JUNIOR: Let's check our rooms!

ALMA: Zoomzoomzoomzooom -zoop!

JUNIOR: Zoomzoomzoomzooom -zoop!

ALMA: And then we bumped into each other...

ALMA/JUNIOR: [giggles]

JUNIOR: And we dropped our laundry here,

where the socks and Steggie were...

ALMA: And then Papi scooped it up with the Laundry Monster...

JUNIOR: [gasp] So maybe Steggie is in the...

ALMA/JUNIOR: ... Laundry!

[thumping from washing machine]

PAPI: What is making that noise?!

ALMA/JUNIOR: Steggie!!!
