Take a bow.

You all were wonderful! True actors!

KIDS: [laughing]

ALMA: We're trying out for the starring role

Only one of us will get it

I hope it's me.

UNCLE NESTOR: So the finalists are... Rafia.

RAFIA: [gasp]

UNCLE NESTOR: Alma.

ALMA: [gasp] Yes!

UNCLE NESTOR: Howard.

HOWARD: [gasp] Really?!

LUCAS: Good job! ALMA: You were great!

LUCAS: You were awesome! RAFIA: That was amazing!

UNCLE NESTOR: Thank you all for coming out!

Have a marvellous afternoon!

UNCLE NESTOR: I shall choose one of you for the grand role of...

the Subway Conductor. And the other three actors will be

the glorious Subway Cars.

LUCAS: Awesome! RAFIA: Ah, That's so cool!

UNCLE NESTOR: I want to see all of you shine once more.

Let's hear you each play the Subway Conductor.

Lucas, you're up first!

LUCAS: [singing] ♪The subwayyy is paaacked.♪

RAFIA: [shouting]This subway is packed!

HOWARD:This subway is.. uhm.. busy? Crammed? Filled with lots of people?

HOWARD: Line, please?

ALMA: [rapping] This subway is packed, woo!

And I'm headed down the track! [spoken] I saaaaaid...

This subway is packed, ay!

And I'm headed down the track. Boom!

UNCLE NESTOR: Magnificent!

Picking the star is going to be the toughest decision

of,

my,

life!

Be right back.

LUCAS: Oh, I would love to get picked as the Subway Conductor.

It's the biggest part.

RAFIA: Yeah, the star has the most lines

and gets the most attention.

ALMA: But... the star also has to do a good job,

so the play is good.

And if they do a bad job...

KIDS: [shivers]

HOWARD: Uh... did anyone else just get really nervous?

Or hungry? Or thirsty?

I'm thirsty. My mom says I should always stay hydrated.

UNCLE NESTOR: [coughs]

UNCLE NESTOR: In the the-a-ter,

each role, no matter how big or small,

is important. Drumroll, please.

KIDS: [pat legs] ALMA: [rolls tongue]

UNCLE NESTOR: Howard, Rafia, and Lucas...

you shall be the majestic Subway Cars in my play.

RAFIA: Aww.. LUCAS: Aww..

HOWARD: Phew!

ALMA: Wait, does that mean...?

UNCLE NESTOR: And the lead role of the Subway Conductor shall go to... Alma!

ALMA: Yeah! Woo-hoo! [clapping]

UNCLE NESTOR: Our first rehearsal is tomorrow at noon.

And like a good subway train, please arrive on time.

I'm the star of the show,

I've never been the star of the show before!

Oh... I'M the star of the show! Eep!

UNCLE NESTOR: You are rolling across the track, gracefully, with purpose.

UNCLE NESTOR: Channel your inner subway. BE the subway!

LUCAS: Mr. Nestor, how can I BE the subway?

HOWARD: Like this, right?

HOWARD: Hm, woo! Ha!

RAFIA/LUCAS: Woo-hoo! [laughs]

UNCLE NESTOR: That's it, my elegant trains! Bravo!

UNCLE NESTOR: Now for our Subway Conductor.

ALMA: They're good! I better be good too.

And if I mess up, it could ruin the whole show.

[deep breath] Okay..

UNCLE NESTOR: No no no no,

I need you in front... in the spotlight!

It will be shining on you right here.

ALMA: Uh, are you sure I can't stand with them?

UNCLE NESTOR: Oh nononono...NO!

You absolutely must be front and center,

where everyone can see you.

TIÍA GLORIA: Hold up, hold up!

TIÍA GLORIA: I know what my girl needs...

TIÍA GLORIA: To play a Subway Conductor,

Alma needs to look like one.

Trust me, I know.

[zipper sound]

ALMA: [gasp]

LUCAS/RAFIA/HOWARD: [gasp]

ALMA: Whoa!

HOWARD: That's amazing! LUCAS:So cool! RAFIA: Wow!

TIÍA GLORIA: I made it special for you, mi sobrina favorita.

ALMA: i¡Qué linda!

LUCAS: Wow, Alma! ALMA: Gracias, Tía Gloria.

UNCLE NESTOR: Simply stunning!

Now that is all for today. We shall practice more tomorrow.

UNCLE NESTOR: And Alma, we'll start with you.

The audience needs to be hanging on YOUR...

EVERY...

WORD!

ALMA: Every word?!

Oh... I was nervous before,

but now I've got tons of butterflies flying in my tummy.

ALMA: Hey, Lucas, think you could help me practice my lines?

LUCAS: Sure. And we can practice mine too.

ALMA: Sa-weet!

ALMA: [rapping] ♪Where you wanna go? The park? The zoo?♪

ALMA: How was that?

LUCAS: Nice job!

ALMA: Hmmm... I gotta do it again.

LUCAS: Uh.. Okay!

ALMA: [dramatic] I'm driving this train.

See my hat? Thought you knew!

LUCAS: Ahh...

ALMA: You're right. Again.

LUCAS: Alma, I still need to practice my lines.

ALMA: Right. We will. Just one last time.

ALMA: [rapping] I'm driving this train. See my hat? Thought you knew!

ALMA: Wait. Should it be... knew?

Or Kn-ew-ew-ew! Which one sounds better, Lucas?

ALMA: You are?

RAFIA: Uh huh. But you're not going to mess your part up.

HOWARD: Yeah, you've channeled your inner Subway Conductor, Alma!

UNCLE NESTOR: Ready to shine, my little stars?

LUCAS: Uh-huh.

RAFIA: Yep!

HOWARD: I was born to play a subway car!
