[alarm clock rings]

caw!

[alarm clocks ringing]

oh. Has anyone seen my other sneaker?

Don't tell me. You're late to see the turtle specialist...

Don't worry, mi amor.

I'll open the store this morning.

[caws]

maya, you're not dressed?

I spilled jelly on my pants!

You have a clean pair in the laundry basket in my room.

Oh! !¡Gracias, mamAÁ!

Miguel,

those shoes don't match.

Aw, man.

[caws]

ok, I'm dressed. !¡Ya me voy!

Me, too.

Don't forget your lunch.

!¡Gracias, mamAÁ!

Does paco look all right to you?

Miguel: he looks fine.

Are you sure?

Uh... Parece tan triste.

So sad.

[whispers] he's so quiet.

Maya, we're going to be late.

[caw]

[ticking]

[caw]

[snoring]

and then andy passed the ball to me,

and gooaal!

You should have seen me.

I rocked.

That's wonderful, miguelito.

And how did you do on your math quiz?

Did you rock?

Uh...Well...

He sh**t! He scores!

Ay, miguel, eres un payaso.

Good job.

What about you, maya? How was school?

[caw]

rosa: maya, what's wrong?

Paco looks sad.

¿Triste?

Maya, he always looks like that.

I'm sure he's perfectly happy.

Y tan callado. Paco hasn't said

any words in a long time.

[caw]

hmm. Now that you mention it, he is kind of quiet.

He used to talk all the time.

What if he's sick?

MamAÁ, papi, I'm worried.

Don't worry, mijita.

We'll take paco to dr. Dasgupta

and make sure nothing's wrong.

Well, you obviously take very good care of paco.

He's fine.

Fit as a fiddle.

Are you sure, dr. Dasgupta?

He seems so...

Sad and quiet.

Hmm...

He does not look very happy, does he?

Is he alone all day?

Well...My brother and I go to school,

and mamAÁ and papi work.

Well, parrots are social animals.

He considers you his flock.

SIÍ.

His family.

If you're gone all day, it could be that he's a little lonely.

Paco: claro que si.

I knew something was wrong.

Oh, thank you so much, dr. Dasgupta.

I told you. Paco's lonely.

Well, we have been out a lot lately.

But I volunteer to stay home from now on

and keep paco company.

No se es un payaso, miguel.

We have to figure out a way to keep paco from being lonely.

But we have to go to school all day,

and mamAÁ and papi have to go to work, so...

!¡Eso es!

We'll take paco to school with us.

Maya, we can't take paco to school.

He's a pet.

I cannot believe

you just said that in front of paco.

He's part of our flock, our family.

He's a santos!

Ok, ok. He's family.

But, maya, you can't just walk into school

with paco on your shoulder like you're a pirate,

though that would be pretty cool.

[caw]

ahoy, mateys!

Out of our way! Caw!

Arr! Landlubbers!

Papi has those pet travel cases in his shop.

I could make one of those into a backpack.

That way I could carry him with me everywhere.

Caw!

This is perfect.

Now paco won't feel sad anymore.

!¡Estoy feliz!

Happy!

!¡Feliz!

He talked!

Happy!

!¡Feliz!

Happy!

You see? It's working!

He's happy.

Yeah. Maybe you were right.

I can't believe I'm saying that.

All right, class. I hope you read up on the civil w*r chapter.

Who can tell me...

Who issued the emancipation proclamation?

Maya?

Paco: !¡Quiero hablar!

I want to talk!

Nguyen: uh, great. Talk.

Tell us the answer.

Paco: quiero hablar. I want to talk.

A--

paco: I rock!

Bra-- !¡Eso es!

Ham--

goal!

Uh...Perhaps someone else

would like to answer the question.

[bell rings]

whew.

Nguyen: all right,

remember to read chapter for tomorrow's class.

[kids talking excitedly]

maya?

Yes, mr. Nguyen?

I couldn't help but notice that you were

very distracted during class.

Is there something you'd like to talk about?

Paco: I want to talk!

!¡Quiero hablar!

Go ahead. I'm all ears.

I want to talk!

[chuckles nervously]

I'm sorry. I meant to say...

I--i--i-- don't want to talk,

but I was in such a hurry that I forgot to say "don't."

Oh. I see.

Well, if you ever do need to talk,

please don't hesitate to come see me.

I will listen to whatever you have to say.

Um, yes, sir. Thanks, mr. Nguyen.

Paco: thanks, mr. Nguyen.

[paco caws]

paco, I know you want to talk,

but please listen to me.

!¡Oye me!

Oye. Listen.

SIÍ.

You're going to have to be quiet

at least for now, ok?

Be quiet.

Callate. Quiet.

SIÍ, quiet.

Excuse me.

May I get into my locker? I have a class.

[caw]

paco: be quiet!

Oh! Ok.

Wait. No, come back.

I didn't mean it about your locker.

Hey, wait! Wait a minute!

I'm sorry.

Oh, no.

Paco: oh, no!

All right, paco,

I've got to play soccer right now in gym class.

I'm sorry, paco, but you have to stay here and be quiet.

Be quiet!

No, paquito, that's loud.

No tan fuerte.

[whispers] quiet.

[whispers] quiet.

That's a good parrot.

I'll be right back.

[paco squawking]

paco: I can't see.

Nope. Other way. Aah!

Ohh. Ow.

Great practice, guys.

Ahem! Jensen, can I have a word with you?

Yeah, coach?

I noticed you were favoring your right leg a little,

so I think you should sit out practice tomorrow

until you're better.

Paco: oh, no!

You don't have to take it so hard, son.

I mean, it's not the end of the world.

It's only until--

paco: be quiet!

Really, jensen, that was uncalled for.

Well, no, it wasn't me.

My backpack said it.

Right. The backpack.

Maybe you'll sit out more than just practice.

Paco: be quiet!

Uh...But, coach, look! See?

[paco cawing]

it's me--paco.

[squawks]

I'm out of here.

Gee! I don't want to be a backpack bird anymore.

Well, paco, I'm back.

Oh!

oh!

Que hago.

Now what do I do?

Oh!

Wait! Come back.

I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.

[sighs]

[locker opens]

miguel! Theo!

I need your help.

I lost paco!

¿Lo perdiste?

I'm so sorry, miguel.

I left him on the bench during soccer

and he got away. You have to help me find him.

You can count on me, maya.

Me, too.

Paco's part of my flock, too.

Oh, thanks, guys!

Now, how will we find him?

We use what we know. Elementary deduction.

Well, how do we do that?

First, put yourself in paco's shoes.

I mean, if you were a bird, where would you go?

The arcade!

No, miguel,

not where would you go,

where would paco go?

Oh, I gotcha.

Hmm. If I were paco,

I'd go to where there's food.

Right. So, what does a parrot eat?

Hmm...

Double sausage pizza,

chocolate, tacos...

Paco eats tacos?

I would eat a taco if I were paco.

Paco eats sunflower seeds.

Exactly.

And where in the school would you find sunflower seeds?

Miguel: if you know the answer, just tell us.

Oh, all right.

The science class greenhouse.

I don't see paco anywhere.

[caw]

paco: hola, pretty bird!

[caws]

[cawing]

pretty bird. Mm!

[wolf whistle]

shh!

Quiet.

Hola, pretty bird.

Callate.

Quiet.

Callate.

Look!

Sunflower seeds!

All we have to do now is follow the trail, and we'll find paco!

But the trail goes in different directions.

We'll have to split up.

I'll go this way.

Ok, we'll go that way.

Very nice charcoal sketch, ralph.

Lovely macaroni collage, lupe.

That is absolutely wonderful, hector.

[chomping]

boy: hey!

Somebody took all my macaroni!

Paco: macaroni! Macaroni!

Paco likes macaroni!

Hmm.

Oh, no!

Boy, paco sure got around.

Aah!

[humming]

maya: excuse me. Have you seen a parrot?

I'm looking for a bird about this big.

Maya: no...No.

No! Oh, no!

Paco's been served for lunch!

Paco: quiero hablar.

I want to talk.

Are you ok, maya?

Huh? What?

Me? Yeah. Sure.

They're serving cornish game hen today.

C-cornish game hen?

Yes. It's like chicken.

Really, really small chicken.

Cornish game hen!

Ha ha! Oh, yes!

Thank you, mr. Nguyen.

Thank you, thank you,

thank you, mr. Nguyen!

Uh, eh, you're welcome, maya.

Maya, come quick.

Theo thinks he's found a lead to paco!

I present you

the evidence.

A paco feather. Hey!

Yeah, and it's still warm, too.

He was here recently. Very recently.

[caw]

paco!

[caw]

it's mr. Nguyen's room.

[caw]

pa...

Co?

Theo: that's not paco.

Maya: I can't believe it.

Mr. Nguyen keeps a parrot in his room.

[squawks]

!¡Ay!

Duck!

Aah!Aah!

Oh, no.

Now we have birds to find!

Nguyen: maya, is that you?

It's mr. Nguyen.

And I just lost his parrot.

I'm going to have to tell him everything.

Please, miguel, tell mamAÁ I'm sorry I broke her heart.

Hey! Don't give up yet, maya.

Nguyen: if you wanted to talk, I have time to listen.

Miguel: actually, mr. Nguyen, I'm the one who would like to talk.

Um, ok, miguel,

if you want to talk, I'm happy to listen.

Let's go into the classroom.

I'd rather talk outside in the fresh air.

Whew. That was close.

We've got to find those parrots.

But we're going to need help.

Ok, while miguel is distracting mr. Nguyen,

we need to search every nook and cranny,

every closet, everything that squawks.

Listen carefully for paco's calls.

If you see a parrot, lure it with these sunflower seeds.

They won't be able to resist.

!¡Hola!

Pretty bird. Hola.

[squawking]

!¡Hola!

"hola"?

Pretty bird.

Ah, crackers.

¿Paquito?

¿DOÓnde estAÁs, paquito lindo?

[squawking]

[screech]

paco!

I brought your favorite!

Oh.

I'm sorry.

I just heard a screech back here.

That screech was me singing.

Ay.

Maggie? Chrissy?

Any luck?

Um...

What's wrong?

Well, we ate all of our sunflower seeds.

We were hungry.

I hope andy's having luck.

[birds squawking]

paco? Paco!

Oh, paquito, where are you?

¿DOÓnde estAÁs?

!¡Quiero hablar!

I want to talk!

!¡Fuerte!

Quiet! Macaroni.

Paco!

Callado. Loud!

Look, paquito, I have your favorite...

Sunflower seeds!

Oh, he's too far away.

He can't hear me.

And he can't smell the sunflower seeds.

What do i...

!¡Eso es!

How will I ever remember

all those important dates in history?

I mean, there are so many of them.

I can't keep them all straight.

Paco! Paco!

!¡Ven aca!

I'd love to talk about this more, miguel,

but I have a class in a few--

parrot:!¡Hola!

Is that...

Paquito.

It's me--maya.

I have sunflower seeds for you!

Paquito!

Um, don't you want to talk about history?

Maya, what's going on?

What is my parrot doing up there?

Mr. Nguyen, it's all my fault.

I set your parrot loose by accident.

The other parrot is paco.

Paco?

He's part of my flock,

my family.

And he was lonely and sad,

so I thought I should bring him to school

to make him happy. But he got away,

and when I was looking for him,

well, um, your parrot got out, too.

A lot of things are starting to make sense now.

I'm so sorry, mr. Nguyen.

You could have just told me, you know.

I wouldn't have been mad.

You wouldn't?

Of course not.

I bring my parrot minh to school

because I'm worried she's lonely and sad, too.

But I spend so much time working

that she obviously needed more companionship.

Maybe minh and paco need a bigger flock.

What do you mean?

If she says "eso es," run!

Well...

Your parrot's lonely and sad,

our parrot's lonely and sad,

but together...

They're not lonely or sad.

They're happy!

Ah!

"eso es"?

!¡Eso es!

Has anyone seen my other sock?

[doorbell rings]

good morning, mr. Nguyen!

Good morning, maya.

You can put minh over there next to paco.

!¡Hola!

Ooh! Pretty bird!

Did you read chapter ?

Of course I did.

Rosa: esperense, muchachos.

Aren't you forgetting something, hmm?

Gracias, mamAÁ.

That's for me?

Of course.

You're part of our flock now, too.

[maya and miguel chuckle]

um...Gracias, sra. Santos.

All right, you two.

Let's get to school.

AdiOÓs, paco. AdiOs, minh.

You two can talk

to each other all day.

!¡Adios!

Macaroni!
