ALMA: "Lucas Left Out"

[traffic]

LUCAS/JUNIOR: Whoa! CHACHO: [barks]

JUNIOR: [giggles]

OWEN: I think they're excited to go to the Statue of Liberty.

ALMA: There!

We've been planning our trip

to the Statue of Liberty for a month!

So, first we'll get on the subway here, in the Bronx...

JUNIOR: All aboard to the Statue of Liberty!

Are we going to pass the Sweat Sox Stadium?

EDDIE: Yep, right around... here.

JUNIOR: Bing-Bong! Whoosh!

Sweat Sox Stadium, all aboard!

ALMA: We'll take the train

into Manhattan,

and then ride all the way down here.

LUCAS: Is that where we get on the ferry?

EDDIE: Mmhmm.

And we'll ride it across the river

to Liberty Island!

ALMA: To see the Statue of Liberty!

LUCAS: Oh that's gonna be awesome!

I haven't been there since I was a little kid!

[sniffles]

ALMA: Me neither! I've always wanted a foam crown.

EDDIE: Me too!

I'm going to get a new crown!

[sniffles]

JUNIOR: Do you think they have crowns for dogs?

EDDIE: Maybe!

LUCAS: We're going to have so much fun at the Statue of Liberty together!

LUCAS: [sniffles]

[sniffles] Aaah...

ah.. ah.. [holding in a sneeze]

Aaah. [sigh of relief]

AHH-CHOO!

EDDIE¡Salud! JUNIOR:Bless you!

ALMA: Are you okay, Lucas?

LUCAS: [sounding stuffed up] Totally fine. Never better.

OWEN: Huh, I'm not so sure...

You were sniffling last night too.

LUCAS: [sigh] I'm fine...

OWEN: Hmmm, warm.

Let's get you home, Lucas.

LUCAS: Ah-ah-ah-ahh-CHOO!

[sniffles] Okay.

See you tomorrow.

OWEN: Sorry, buddy.

Seems like you're getting a bad cold...

so you're gonna have to sit this one out.

LUCAS: Wha-- Huh?!

But I wanna go with my friends!

OWEN: Yeah... You'll have to go with them another time. Okay?

LUCAS: (disappointed) Aww... Have a great time...

ah-choo!

OWEN: Bye, everybody.

NESTOR: Adiós

ALMA: Lucas seems really bummed.

Hey, Lucas, we'll take lots of pictures for you, okay?

LUCAS: (glum) Thanks. Ah-choo! Bye.

ALMA: Hmm.

[subway passing by]

ALMA: Our trip to the Statue of Liberty last week

was AH-MAY-ZING!

I'm going to Lucas', Abuelo!

ABUELO: Hm-Hmm.

ALMA: I can't wait to tell Lucas all about it!

Lucas, hey, Lucas! You up there?

LUCAS: Oh! Hi, Alma.

ALMA: How are you feeling?

LUCAS: All better!

ALMA: Sweet! Come on down! I have something for you.

LUCAS: [gasp]

LUCAS: What is it?

ALMA: TA-DA! A new Statue of Liberty crown! Just like you wanted!

LUCAS: Oh... thanks, Alma.

ALMA: Aren't you gonna put it on?

LUCAS: Maybe later.

ALMA: I thought he'd be more excited about his new crown.

Oh! Let me show you the pictures we took!

Check it out!

This is us on the subway... [laughing] Junior always falls asleep.

ALMA: THIS is us on the ferry.

It was SO windy!

And THIS is us at the Statue of Liberty!

She's so much bigger and greener than I thought!

ALMA: The Statue of Liberty is saaaa-weet, right?!

LUCAS: Yeah, those pictures are great, but... [sighs]

I just wish I could've been there with you.

Thanks. Later, Alma.

ALMA: I thought Lucas would want to see our pictures.

But he still seems bummed that he missed our trip.

Hmm, what could I do to cheer him up?

I gotta think about this...

LUCAS: That's gonna be awesome! I haven't been there since I was a little kid!

We're going to have so much fun at the Statue of Liberty together!

ALMA: Lucas was REALLY excited about our trip.

ALMA: The Statue of Liberty is saaaa-weet, right?!

LUCAS: Yeah, those pictures are great, but...

[sigh] I just wish I could've been there with you.

ALMA: I think he was more excited to see it WITH us...

ALMA: Hmmm... I wish we could've brought the Statue of Liberty back to the Bronx...

but that's not possible...

or is it?

Ohhhh, I know what to do!

And Lucas is gonna love it!

[rubber ball squeak]

CHACHO: [grunt] EDDIE /JUNIOR: [laughs]

[rubber ball squeak]

ALMA: Hey, Eddie! Junior!

Help me bring the Statue of Liberty to the Bronx!

EDDIE: Whaaaa?! JUNIOR:/Huh?!

LUCAS: Dad, I'm gonna hang out with Alma.

OK, I'm coming, Alma.

ALMA: "The Sweetest Treat"

[car horns honking]

FRANKIE: Check out this old photo that was taken right here!

ALMA: That's what it used to look like right here?

FRANKIE: Better believe it, kiddo.

[subway rumbles by]

ANDRÉ: But...where's the subway?

FRANKIE: This photo was taken before the subway was built.

ANDRÉ: For real?!

ALMA: No way!

FRANKIE: Check this out. Look across the street!

That corner used to look like this!

ANDRÉ: Ooh!

ALMA: Horses? On this street?

ANDRÉ: Were there ever horse traffic jams?

FRANKIE: Um...maybe?

FRANKIE: He-he-hey-now! Here's one from the s.

ANDRÉ: That looks like my mom's bookstore!

Except... not my mom's bookstore?

FRANKIE: Right!!

There used to be a bakery here called "Tres Cocos."

Recognize anyone?

ALMA: Wait a minute. Is that my abuelo?

His hair is so long! ...And so brown!

FRANKIE: [chuckles] Yep!

And check out Mr. Ramirez and my mom.

ANDRÉ: That's Doña Carmen? Whoa! Nice shades!

FRANKIE: That was... [finger snap] the style!

NEA: Frankie!

Look what I found in the basement...

Thanks!

FRANKIE: The Tres Cocos Bakery menu?!

Yo! This is legit!

NEA: Right? It's gonna look fab with your old photos in the gallery.

FRANKIE: Thanks, Nea!

NEA: No prob! I can see it now:

"The Bronx Through the Years!"

ALMA: These desserts sound so yummy!

ANDRÉ: Did you ever try the tres leches?

ALMA : Were the coconetes warm, like right out of the oven?

ANDRÉ: Did the chocolate cake have chocolate chips?

FRANKIE: Don't look at me! I was a lil' kid. I don't remember.

But you know who you can ask?

La reina del barrio. Mi Mamá!

ANDRÉ: Hey, Mom, can we go talk to Doña Carmen?

ALMA: And can we take this with us, please?

NEA: MmHmm. ANDRÉ: [gasp]

FRANKIE: I can take 'em to her. She's chillin' in the park.

NEA: Yeah, sure! Can't wait to hear what she's gotta say!

ALMA: Thanks! ANDRÉ:Thank you!

[kids laughing]

FRANKIE: Hey, Ma!

FRANKIE: Bendición Mami. [chuckles] Mwah!

DOÑA CARMEN: ¡Ay, mi guapito!

ALMA: [giggles]

DOÑA CARMEN: And my little gingersnaps! [kisses]

ALMA/ANDRÉ: [blows a kiss] Mwah!

DOÑA CARMEN: Whatcha got there?

ANDRÉ: My mom found it in the basement of the bookstore.

DOÑA CARMEN: Hmm...

[gasp] ¡¿Qué qué?! Is this from Tres Cocos Bakery!?

ALMA: Yeah, and look at this!

DOÑA CARMEN: [long sigh]

Ay, Tres Cocos...

You know,

I would spend hours there with Mr. Ramirez and your Abuelo.

DOÑA CARMEN: ¡Oye, Hector, ven aquí!

You've got to see this.

MR. RAMIREZ: Stay here, okay? I'll be right back.

MR. RAMIREZ: ¿Qué pasa?

DOÑA CARMEN: Look!

MR. RAMIREZ: Ay, Tres Cocos...

That bakery had the best desserts y cafecitos in the Bronx.

¿Recuerdas, Carmen?

DOÑA CARMEN: Oh yes! The coconetes were divine.

MR. RAMIREZ: I can almost taste them.

So sweet, so chewy...

DOÑA CARMEN: So coconutty.

MR. RAMIREZ: Ha! DOÑA CARMEN: [deep sigh]

ALMA: So. Hungry.

CHACHO: [barks]

MR. RAMIREZ: You know who really loved those coconetes?

ANDRÉ: Who?

MR. RAMIREZ: Hm-hm-hm-hmm...

ABUELO: ¡Hola!

ALMA: My Abuelo?

MR. RAMIREZ: Mmm-hmm.

ABUELO: Who? Me?!

MR. RAMIREZ: Remember this?

ABUELO: [gaps] Oh! Ay...

ALMA: Wait for it...

DOÑA CARMEN/MR. RAMIREZ /ABUELO: Ay, Tres Cocos...

ABUELO: Amigos, what a time we had! We'd sit together for hours!

MR. RAMIREZ: And eat coconetes and drink cafecitos!

DOÑA CARMEN: Ayy.. So many people passed by and we'd talk to everyone...

Tres Cocos Bakery was the heart of the neighborhood.

MR. RAMIREZ: We gotta hang out like that again.

DOÑA CARMEN: Ah! How about we whip up a batch of our own coconetes, huh!?

I got the Tres Cocos recipe before the bakery closed.

ALMA: [gasp]

ANDRÉ: Yes!

ALMA: We'll help!

MR. RAMIREZ: ¡Wepa! It'll be just like the good ol' days!

DOÑA CARMEN/MR. RAMIREZ /ABUELO: Ay, Tres Cocos...

CHACHO: [barks]

ABUELO: Okay okay, Chacho!

ABUELO: ¡Chau, amigos!

MR. RAMIREZ: I gotta go too, chao!

DOÑA CARMEN: Okay, gingersnaps! Let's get baking!

[traffic] [cars honking]

DOÑA CARMEN: That's it, babies. You two are such good helpers.

[chuckling] And cute, too!

Let's see what's next...

FRANKIE: He-hey! Yo! What's good, bakers?

FRANKIE: [sniffs] Ahhh... [chuckles]

DOÑA CARMEN: Paciencia, mi reyecito.

Mamá will make sure you get one when they're ready.

FRANKIE: Okay, mommy! [laughs] Can't wait!

FRANKIE/DOÑA CARMEN: Mwah!

ALMA/ANDRÉ: [giggles]

DOÑA CARMEN: Ready for a taste, mis chiquitos?

ALMA:Uh-huh! ANDRÉ: Oh yeah!

ANDRÉ: Mmmm. So sweet...

ALMA: Mm, So chewy...

DOÑA CARMEN: Mmm, so coconutty...

but they just don't taste like the ones from Tres Cocos Bakery.

ANDRÉ: Really? What did we do wrong?

DOÑA CARMEN: Not sure, babycakes.

But I gotta get it right. Let's try again.

ALMA: Wow. If the coconetes from Tres Cocos Bakery

were even better,

Maybe we need a second opinion?

DOÑA CARMEN: (re-energized) Ahh!

¡Buena idea, nenita! [snaps fingers] Vamos.

MR. RAMIREZ: [chewing] Mmmm....

ANDRÉ: Whaddya think, Mr. Ramirez?

MR. RAMIREZ: This one is tasty, and this one is too, but...

they're not quite the same as Tres Cocos Bakery.

DOÑA CARMEN: Right?! It just doesn't taste like it did in the good ol' days.

MR. RAMIREZ: Mhmm.. Maybe ask your Abuelo, Alma.

DOÑA CARMEN: Ah-ha! Come on, mis bebitos!

ABUELO: [chewing] Mmm... Something's missing.

Mmmm. ¡Están delicioso! But...

it's just not the same as Tres Cocos Bakery.

DOÑA CARMEN: Right? We can't figure it out.

Ahh.. gracias.

ABUELO: Uhh, ahh... you can leave those here.

No sense in wasting them.

ABUELO/DOÑA CARMEN: [chuckles]

DOÑA CARMEN: ¡Muchísimas gracias, my little bakers!

I had fun today,

even if the coconetes won't ever be like they were

at Tres Cocos.

[deep sigh]

DOÑA CARMEN: Ay, mira chicos lindos [chuckle]

ANDRÉ: Well, I guess I'll see you later, Alma.

ALMA: Okay, André.

ALMA: I don't get it. It's the same recipe from the bakery.

Maybe it's not about the recipe?

I gotta think about this.

ABUELO: We'd sit together for hours!

MR. RAMIREZ: And eat coconetes and drink cafecitos.

ALMA: The coconetes WERE delicious...

but that wasn't the only thing they loved about Tres Cocos.

MR. RAMIREZ: We gotta hang out like that again.

ALMA: I think Doña Carmen, Abuelo, and Mr. Ramirez

miss spending time together!

DOÑA CARMEN: Tres Cocos Bakery was the heart of the neighborhood.

ALMA: There sure was a lot going on at Tres Cocos...

[gasp] That's it!

I know what to do!

ALMA: Hey, André!

ANDRÉ: What's up, Alma?

ALMA: We need the recipe for Tres Cocos Bakery.

ANDRÉ: A recipe for the bakery? You have a recipe for THAT?

ALMA: Well, hanging out all day, eating coconetes,

and talking to the whole neighborhood.

THAT'S the recipe for Tres Cocos Bakery.

C'mon!

DOÑA CARMEN: What's the big surprise, cielitos? ABUELO: Can't wait!

ALMA/ANDRÉ: TADA!

DOÑA CARMEN/MR. RAMIREZ /ABUELO: [gasps!]

MR. RAMIREZ ¡No lo puedo creer!/

ABUELO: ¡Increible!

DOÑA CARMEN: Just like Tres Cocos Bakery, no?

ALMA: Yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!

DOÑA CARMEN: What a fantastic surprise, my dumplings!

ANDRÉ: We made my Mom's bookstore

look just like it used to when it was the bakery!

ALMA: Maybe now your coconetes will taste just like you remember.

MR. RAMIREZ: ¡Oye amigo! Care to share?

ABUELO: [chuckles] Of course, mi amigo! André, por favor.

ABUELO/MR. RAMIREZ: [chuckling]

DOÑA CARMEN: Mmmm...

ALMA: What do you think, Doña Carmen?

DOÑA CARMEN: Let me tell you, baby.

These coconetes taste just like...
