Alma: "“Alma Wings It"”

Alma: So whatcha gonna do in Barcelona, Granny Isa?

Granny Isa: Let me tell ya!

I've always wanted to dance the Paso Doble. So I'm gonna take a class.

Alma: Granny's a flight attendant.

So she goes to lots of places for work.

Junior: Is the food in Barcelona as good as these waffles?

Granny Isa: You betcha!

Alma: What's your favorite thing to eat there?

Granny Isa: Mmm... that's a real toughie.

I guess when I'm in Spain, I'd never say no to gambas al ajillo.

Junior: Shrimp!

Granny Isa: Mh-hmm!

In a delicious garlic sauce.

Alma: Ooh! Junior: Ooh, yum!

Alma: Hey, Granny, what's it like being a flight attendant?

Junior: Yeah, do you get all the mini pretzels you want?

Alma: Ooh, like the ones we got on the plane to Puerto Rico?

Junior: Uh-huh!

Granny Isa: My job is to help passengers stay comfy and safe on the plane.

So, there's not a lot of time for snacking.

Junior: Too bad.

The snacks are the best part!

Granny Isa: You know what I really love?

Is meeting different people from different places.

Junior: And you get to ride on a plane all the time!

Junior: Zoom!

Alma/Granny Isa: [laugh]

Junior: [airplane sounds]

Alma: [flight attendant voice] Ding-dong. Welcome aboard flight -- on Junior Airlines!

Granny Isa: Bienvenidos al vuelo numero -- de Aerolíneas Junior.

Junior: Coming in for a landing!

Granny Isa: Come.

Smoothest landing I've ever seen!

Mmm.

Alma: I wish I could go to your flight attendant job with you.

Granny Isa: Me too, Almita.

Alma: Oh! Wait a minute!

I've gone to work with Papi, Mami, and Tía Gloria.

So, I'm gonna go to work with Granny Isa!

I've got a sa-weet idea.

Be right back!

Granny Isa: I love it when she says that!

Mami: Where are you goin'?

Junior: And can I go too?

Alma: Sure!

I'm going to work with Granny Isa!

Junior: We're going on a plane?!

To Barcelona?!

Go go, Barcelona, go go go!

Mami: Lo siento, niños.

You can't go to work with Granny Isa.

Alma: What?

Why not?

Mami: Cause a flight attendant has to pay attention to her passengers.

Granny Isa: I'll be so busy, I won't be able to look after you.

Alma: Aww, really?

Mami/Ganny Isa: Mhm.

Alma: Okay.

Junior: That's okay.

I can still fly on Junior Airlines!

[airplane sounds]

Alma: [sigh] I really want to spend time with Granny Isa.

And see what it's like to be a flight attendant.

But what can I do?

I gotta think about this...

I wonder what it's like when Granny is at work.

Granny Isa: Be right there!

Alma: There are a lot of passengers on a plane.

So Granny Isa must be really busy when she's working.

Tia Gloria: Manzano Avenue Station!

Alma: When Tía Gloria works on the subway, she can't watch me either.

Tia Gloria: Screech!

Alma: But, I do love playing subway with her at home.

Granny Isa: Bienvenidos al vuelo numero -- de Aerolíneas Junior.

Alma: Oh, wait!

That's it!

I know what to do.

Guess what, Granny Isa?!

I can pretend to go to work with you.

From home!

Granny Isa: Oh yeah?

Whaddaya thinking?

Alma: We're gonna turn the house into an airport and an airplane.

So I can be a flight attendant with you.

Granny Isa: Love it!

I'm totally in!

Junior: Me too!

Can I give out the pretzels?

Granny Isa: i¡Sísí!

But before you can work as a flight attendant...

You've got to learn how to be one!

Now I've got a sa-weet idea.

Alma: I love it when she says that!

Granny Isa: Welcome to Granny Isa's Flight Attendant School!

Listen up, it's gonna be fun, but also hard work.

Alma/Junior: We're ready!

Granny Isa: Flight attendants show passengers how to buckle and unbuckle their seatbelts.

Insert the flat end into the buckle and pull on the strap to tighten.

Junior: Got it!

Ah!

Too tight! Too tight!

Ahh.

Alma/Junior: [giggle]

Granny Isa: Flight attendants also tell passengers where all the exits are on a plane.

I like to add a little pizzazz!

[sing-song] Ba-a-ack, middle middle middle, fro-o-nt.

Alma: Front. Back. Middle.

Yes!

Granny Isa: i¡Wepa!

Flight attendants have to get through small spaces.

[Chacho bark] And not bump into anyone.

Alma: Water, coming through!

Junior: Snacks coming through!

[Chacho bark] Alma: Ah!

[sigh] Phew!

Made it!

Junior: Me too!

Granny Isa: A flight attendant lets passengers know that things are okay,

even when the flight gets bumpy.

That's what we in the biz call '‘turbulence.'

Try it out!

Alma: [voice shaking] Don't worry, passengers!

[voice shaking] It's just a little turbulence.

Junior: [giggle]

[voice shaking] And it's kinda fun!

Granny Isa: Congratulations!

You're now honorary flight attendants!

Junior: i¡Wepa!

Alma: Ah-may-zing!

Granny Isa: Now let's get to work!

Mami: Oh, I can't wait to get to Barcelona.

Granny Isa: Attention, passengers!

Welcome to Rivera International Airport!

Junior: [Steggie voice] Flight -- to Barcelona is now boarding!

Alma: [Captain Bananas voice] Please have your boarding passes out and ready.

Eddie: Barcelona, here we come!

Tia Gloria: Yes! I'm so excited! Eddie: Here ya go.

Papi: Got my boarding pass!

Mami: Here's my ticket!

Junior: Beep!

Enjoy the flight!

Granny Isa: This way through the jet bridge.

Alma: Please watch your step as you get onto the plane.

Mami: Hope the flight is smooth.

I would love to sleep through it.

Papi: Not me. I'm too excited to sleep!

What a nice plane!

Junior: These are your captains, Carmen and Tina, speaking.

Please find your seats, so we can take off.

Eddie: Where are you sitting, Mami? Tia Gloria: I got the window!

Papi: I hope they have some peanuts. [chuckle] Mami: Am I in the middle?

Uncle Nestor: Espérate!

Did I miss my flight?

Alma: Nope, come on board sir!

Uncle Nestor: Phew! Sí bueno.

[panting] Ah!

What can I say, in addition to being an actor,

I'm also an over-packer.

Alma: [giggle]

Eddie: Excuse me.

Are there any movies on this flight?

Alma: Totally!

I'd recommend Gators of the Galaxy , and .

Mami: Excuse me, sir.

Are there any pillows or blankets on board?

Junior: Uh-huh!

Here you go, Mami!

I mean, ma'am.

Enjoy your flight!

Mami: Thank you!

Alma: i¡Bienvenidos!

Welcome aboard your non-stop flight to Barcelona!

Junior: Please listen to our safety demonstration.

Alma: We have three exits on this aircraft.

Granny Isa/Alma/Junior: [sing-song] Ba-a-ack, middle middle middle, fro-o-nt!

Junior: Please look around as the closest exit may be behind you.

Make sure your seatbelts are buckled nice and tight!

Papi: Click!

Mami: Click!

Eddie: Click!

Tia Gloria/Uncle Nestor: Click!

Uncle Nestor: And tighten!

Junior: Ah! Too tight!

Too tight!

Phew. Thanks!

Granny Isa: We're ready for takeoff!

Junior: Our expected flight time today is...

Long!

So sit back, relax and enjoy your flight.

Alma: Here we go!

Eddie: Woah!

Papi: Eh, this is nothing.

Alma: [shaking voice] Just a little turbulence, folks.

Totally normal.

Junior: [shaking voice] Please stay seated and keep your seatbelts fastened.

Uncle Nestor: Ah, ah, hold me!

Tia Gloria: I got you!

Granny Isa: We've reached our cruising altitude,

so we'll start our snack and drink service now.

Junior: Pretzels?

Mami: i¡Gracias!

Alma: Water?

Papi: Thank you! [glasses clink]

Junior: Pretzels!

Eddie: Oh, I love these pretzels!

Junior: Right?!

So good!

Alma: Passengers, please prepare for landing.

Granny Isa: Make sure your seatbelts are securely fastened.

Junior: Ooh!

Hey, not too tight!

Alma: i¡Bienvenidos a Barcelona!

Uncle Nestor: Lovely flight!

Simply marvelous!

Alma: Thank you for flying with us today.

Granny Isa: Fantastic first flight!

Now we're all done with work!

Alma: "“The Grandparent Trap"”

[airplane flying overhead]

Alma: Ooh, I hope that's Granny Isa'splane!

Lucas: Hi, Alma!

Hey, Junior!

Whatcha doing?

Alma: We're waiting for our grandma.

She's flying in to visit us for the day.

Junior: Wanna look for her plane with us?

Lucas: Sorry, I can't.

My mom and dad are taking me to lunch.

Alma: Wait a minute.

Your mom lives with you now?

Lucas: Nope, my parents are still divorced.

But sometimes we meet up so we can have a family-fun day.

Junior: You only do that sometimes?

But, don't you wanna have fun with your family every day?

Naomi: We have a great time when we're all together.

But it's also fun when Lucas is just with me or just with his dad.

Lucas: And today, I get to decide what we're all having for lunch.

So I pick...

Cheeseburgers with no cheese!

Naomi: Ah, cheese-less cheeseburgers it is!

Lucas: See ya!

Junior: Have fun!

Alma: Bye!

Mami: Mijos, come look at this!

Miren, do you know who that is?

Alma: Is that?!

Junior: Abuelo and Granny Isa?!

Mami: [chuckle] Yep!

It was taken before your Tía Gloria and I were even born.

Oh, look at this one.

Alma: Look at Granny Isa's fancy dress!

Mami: And this one.

Junior: Where are they?

And why's Granny Isa holding out her hand like that?

Mami: Oh, this was at Flamenco Beach, in Puerto Rico.

When your Abuelo proposed to Granny Isa.

Junior: Um, excuse me.

What does '‘proposed' mean?

Mami: Oh, it's when a person asks someone to marry them.

Alma: I totally forgot they were married!

Junior: Wait, what?!

Granny Isa and Abuelo are married?

Alma: They used to be married.

But they're not anymore.

Junior: Ohhh.

Abuelo: Ohhh!

Mami: ¿Qué pasa, Papá?

Abuelo: Ay, I was supposed to play a checkers rematch with el señor Ramirez.

But he got too busy at the shop.

I was really looking forward to that rematch.

Ah, I remember this!

That was our first date.

The spaghetti was very slurpy.

Junior: You even spilled some on your shirt.

And that made Granny Isa laugh.

Abuelo: [chuckle] I think that's what made her like me even more!

[car horn]

Granny Isa: i¡Hola, familia!

Where are my hugs?!

Alma: Granny Isa! Junior: Granny!

Junior/Alma/Granny Isa: [laugh]

Granny Isa: Ah, so good.

Abuelo: i¡Hola, Isa! How was Argentina?

Did you get a chance to...

Granny Isa: Tango?

You know it!

Ven que, Ah-ha!

Granny Isa/Abuelo: [humming tango tune]

Mami: [laugh] Junior: i¡Wepa! Mami: Wow.

Alma: Hm... Abuelo seemed sad before.

But now that Granny Isa's here he looks way, way, wayyy happier.

Abuelo: [humming tango tune]

Granny Isa/Abuelo: [chuckle]

Alma: Wait a minute.

What if they got married again?

Then, Abuelo would be happy all the time!

[gasp] I have a sa-weet idea!

Abuelo: [chuckle] I still got it!

[chuckle] That was fun.

Gracias, Isa. Mwah!

Alma: Junior! Guess what?

We're going to help Abuelo get married to Granny Isa again!

Junior: Oh yeah!

He'll be so happy all the time!

I'm in!

Papi: [humming]

Alma: Papi?

Papi: Mhm?

Alma: Can we have two plates of spaghetti from dinner last night?

Junior: And can we use the fancy napkins, por favor?

Papi: Uh, sure.

Alma: I'll set up the spaghetti so it's just like their first date.

You get Abuelo and Granny to come into the kitchen.

Junior: I'm on it!

Right this way, señor y señora.

Granny Isa/Abuelo: Oh?

Alma: Table for two.

Granny Isa: Fancy!

What's the occasion?

Alma: We wanted you to have a special lunch.

Together!

Granny Isa: Mmmm! Is this Abuelo's Super Slurpy Spaghetti Sauce?

Abuelo: Yep, made fresh, yesterday.

Granny Isa: Mmm, I can't wait!

Abuelo: Hey, wanna join us?

Alma: Nope.

This is just a special lunch, for two people.

Abuelo: Mm, okay.

Granny Isa: Wow, I gotta say, I missed this.

Abuelo: Mm! Always better the second day!

Junior: Abuelo doesn't look like he's getting any happier.

Alma: What are we missing?

Junior: I know!

Abuelo: Mm-mm-mm.

Junior: Abuelo, do you want to spill sauce on your shirt?

Abuelo: Uh, not really.

Why?

Alma: Cause then Granny Isa would laugh and she'd like you more.

Granny Isa: I like him just fine without a stain on his shirt.

Abuelo: Besides, I can't spill anything because I don't have anything left.

Granny Isa: That was delicious!

Thanks for lunch, niños! Mwah!

Abuelo: i¡Sí, gracias!

Alma: [sigh] I don't think that plan made them want to get married again.

But, I have another one that will!

If we get them to dance like this, they'll definitely want to get married again.

We just need to find the right song.

Got it!

Junior: That's the one!

Abuelo loves Héctor Almanza.

Alma: Mhm.

♪♪

Granny Isa: I used to love dancing to this song!

i¡Wepa!

Alma: Here we go!

Abuelo: Ah...I love this song!

Alma: Ask Granny Isa to dance!

Abuelo: Whaddaya say, Isa?

Granny isa: Okay, bailamos!

Junior: I think it's working!

Abuelo: [chuckle] Granny Isa: [laugh]

Alma: They need to dance closer together.

Junior: I'm on it!

Can you dance closer, por favor?

Abuelo: Huh?

Junior: And smoosh your cheeks together.

Like this.

Alma: Yeah, just like that!

♪♪

Granny Isa: Thanks for the dance, Gustavo.

Abuelo: Any time Isa!

Alma: Wait! Where are you going?

Granny Isa: To chat with your Mami.

Abuelo: And I'm going to see if I can convince el señor Ramirez to play checkers with me.

Junior: Huh, do you have another plan, Alma?

Alma: I sure do!

Junior: Come on Abuelo, I've gotta show you something!

Abuelo: Okay. [chuckle]

Alma: You're gonna love this!

Alma/Junior: Surprise!

[Chacho barks]

Granny Isa: Oh! What's all this?!

Alma: It's Flamenco Beach!

Just like in Puerto Rico!

Junior: Doesn't it remind you of the ocean?

And don't you want to swim in it?!

I know I do.

Alma: C'mon, step into the ocean!

Granny Isa: Oh. Abuelo: Uh-huh.

Alma: Oh, and hold hands, please.

Now for the most important part.

Junior: Ask Granny Isa to marry you!

Granny Isa: Mmm.

Abuelo: Ay, niños.

Papi: Isa, ready to head back to the airport?

Granny Isa: Mhm.

Alma: Hold up!

The airport?!

Already?!

But maybe our plan worked?

Are you going with Granny Isa on the plane?

And are you getting married again?

Abuelo: Lo siento, Alma.

Abuelo: I'm staying here.

Granny Isa: And we're not getting married again.

Alma: Really?

Aww.

Why won't they get married again?

I gotta think about this...

Alma: I think being with Granny Isa makes Abuelo happy.

So wouldn't he want to be married to her again?

But I guess even when Abuelo's not with Granny Isa, he still has fun on his own.

Naomi: We have a great time when we're all together.

But it's also fun when Lucas is just with me, or just with his dad.

Alma: Oh, Lucas's parents aren't married anymore either.

But they're happy when they're together and when they're not.

That's it!

I know what to do!

Abuelo, I wanted you to get married again because

I saw how happy you were with Granny Isa.

But, I think you're okay by yourself. Right?

Abuelo: Sí, mijita.

We're not married, but we still care about each other.

Granny Isa: And even when I'm away,

I'll always come back to spend time with all of you.

We're still a family.

Papi: Almita, wanna take Granny Isa to the airport with me?

Alma: Yes, please!

Abuelo: Count me in too!

Mami: How '‘bout you Junior?

Junior: No thanks!

I'm going to Flamenco Beach.

Ahhh!

Granny Isa: Ya know what?

I think I have enough time for a quick trip to the beach too.

Abuelo: Me too! Mami: Ooo, same!

Papi: Mira, Make room for me, y también!

Alma: Nothing makes my family happier than going to the beach...

Together!

Alma: Make room for me!

[Family laughs together]
