Fabuloso: Hockbar!

Andy: It takes Leo to tango.

Fabuloso: Did you pack all my

hats and bowties?

Hockbar: Yes, sir. Can you remind me

once more again, where you are...

[grunting] traveling off to?

Fabuloso: I am going in search of fine dancing, Hockbar.

Surely there can be

no dancing found where we are.

I want to be entertained.

Hockbar: Ah...okay, it's a pity

you won't be here for Felicita Fantastica's visit.

She was looking forward to seeing you.

Oh, well...

Fabuloso: The Tango Dancer Felicita Fantastica?

Hockbar: Yes, sir.

Fabuloso: She is coming to see me?

Hockbar: Well, uh..

Fabuloso: This is wonderful news, Hockbar!

Hockbar: But what about the...?

Fabuloso: Don't you see what this means Hockbar?

Unpack my suitcase! Hockbar: Ooof!

Fabuloso: Wonderful dancing is coming to the Circo!!

Hockbar: Yes, sir.

Fabuloso: Children, children, children!

Polish your shoes, because today

we are having a special visitor!

Andy: I don't wear shoes.

Can I polish my toenails instead?

Fabuloso: Polish whatever you like, children.

For today, we are getting a visit from...

Leo/Andy/Carmen: Luna!!

Luna: Hi, friends!

Carmen: ♪ Luna, come and play!

Leo: ♪ Luna's here, what do you say? ♪

Andy: ♪ Luna, bright as day!

Leo/Andy/Carmen: ♪ Show us the world, lead the way! ♪

Luna: I'd thought I'd drop by!

Fabuloso: Yes, yes, Luna, it is great to see you.

But we are expecting another important guest.

Luna: Gee, oh, could it be my old friend

I ran into on the way over here?

Felicita: Hello, Moncarlo.

Fabuloso: [gasps] Felicita?

Felicita, Felicita, Felicita!

Felicita: Nice to see you again Moncarlo.

Fabuloso: So wonderful to have the most famous tango dancer

in all of Argentina with us today.

Andy: What's a Tango?

Leo: And what's an Argentina?

Fabuloso: Why don't you ask your Magic Ball thingy,

while I stare adoringly at Felicita!

Carmen: Okay, can you help us, Magic Globe?

Magic Globe: I can try!

Hi, everyone!

Today we are in Buenos Aires,

located in the country of Argentina,

right here on the continent of South America!

Buenos Aires and Argentina

are known for many things,

but one of their most

entertaining contributions is the art of

dancing the Tango!

Tango developed over the years

as people from other countries arrived

and made their home in this wonderful city.

They brought all kinds of music and dance,

which blended together to make

Argentina's very own tango.

Luna: Huh?

Uh-oh, my crazy legs!

Oh, no...

[zing]

Another wonderful thing about--

[boing] WHOA...OH!

I have more to saaaaayyyyy!

Carmen: Uhhhh thanks, Magic Globe!

Luna: Ooooooh. Oof!

Leo: So, Felicita, you dance the tango

like the Magic Globe was talking about?

Felicita: I do.

Fabuloso: And Felicita is the best!

Her tango act is magnificent!

Felicita: Actually, Moncarlo, I have a new act now.

Fabuloso: A new act!

Oh, Felicita, you must perform it

in my Circo show tonight!

Felicita: I would love to.

Fabuloso: Yeee...

...YIPPEEEEE!!!!

Felicita: But I can't.

Fabuloso: Oh... Ooof.

Felicita: Santiago is in the hospital

due to a toenail trimming accident.

Fabuloso: Santiago?

Felicita: Santiago, my dance partner?

Remember? It takes two to Tango.

Fabuloso: Yes, I remember Santiago.

I'm sure Santiago can be easily replaced.

Felicita: I don't know.

Tango is not an easy dance to master.

Fabuloso: Oh, but Felicita.

I'm sure we can find someone for you to dance with.

Ooooh!

How about this mustachioed bowling pin?

Melvini: Yabba. Yabba. Yabba. Yabba.

Felicita: Eh, too short.

Fabuloso: Of course, too short...

Ooooh!

Maybe a shrew?

Shrew: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Fabuloso: Or...

I could be your dance partner!!

♪ Ooh, Ooh, I'm dancing.

Not bad, no...?

Felicita: Ehhhh-- Hmm--

That young wombat has a Tango dancer look.

Leo: Who? Me?

Fabuloso: Him?

Yes! Of course!

Leo: What? Fabuloso: Shh-shh-shh!

You must learn the tango and dance with Felicita.

Everyone will only be watching her anyway.

Leo will tango with you

in tonight's show, Felicita.

He is a tango-dancer extraordinaire!

Leo: What?

Felicita: Fantastica!

Fabuloso: Well, you two rehearse, and...

Felicita: No! Felicita does not rehearse.

I will dance with you tonight!

Wait until you see my act!

It's a ball!

Moncarlo!

Show me again your hat collection again.

Fabuloso: Oh!

Felicita: I've always had a thing for

flamingos with funny hats.

Fabuloso: Oh! [shy giggling]

Leo: Her act is a ball?

What does she mean by that?

Luna: It's just an expression Leo,

it means it'll be a really good time!

Leo: Good time?

I don't think it will be a good time.

I've never danced the tango before!

Luna: It's ok, Leo, I'll teach you!

I know all about dancing the tango.

Leo: Okay...

Luna: Walk, stop, turn...

And walk, stop, turn!

Okay, now that I've taught you the steps,

it's time to try it with a partner!

In tango, one person leads and the other follows.

Why don't you partner up with Carmen.

One, two, three, tango!

Leo: Where's the music?

Luna: We're doing it without music.

I can't risk getting crazy legs again.

Just start walking, Leo! Go!

Leo: What now?

Luna: Tango is about deep feelings!

You've got to feel the tango!

Now, stop! Turn!

Leo: Uaaah! Luna: --and walk.

Easy does it. Leo: Whoa...

Luna: Leo, remember you are leading.

Leo: Uaaah! Whoaaaa!

Luna: It takes two to tango!

Not three!

[crash!]

Guys, guys, no... watch out for that...

I'm not feeling Tango here people...

Fabuloso: How is my superstar Leo?

All ready for tonight's show?

Luna: Oh, Señor Fabuloso!

Ah! Yes, Leo is so good,

he should be teaching me the tango!

[nervous laughter]

Fabuloso: [laughter]

Luna: [forced laughter]

Fabuloso: [laughter]

Luna: [hysterical laughter]

Fabuloso: Haaa-aaah!

Fabuloso! Fabuloso...

See you at the show!

Luna: Bye!

Whew, that was a close one.

[bam!]

What a disaster.

I thought we could do this without music, but--

it looks like we'll have to go--

--full tango.

I don't know if I'm extraordinaire yet,

but I did start to feel the tango while I was dancing.

Felicita: I'll say!

I caught the end of your beautiful performance.

I knew I saw tango in you, Leo!

Fabuloso: Sorry to interrupt,

the show will be starting momentarily.

So, if you'd like to get set up,

now is the time.

Felicita: Thank you, Señor.

And Leo, I hope you are ready for our act.

Leo: Why does she keep saying that?

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen

of Buenos Aires,

to Circo Fabuloso!

We have an incredible performance for you tonight...

Felicita: Now remember, Leo, to stay on the ball.

Leo: Right. I know that expression.

You mean to concentrate, to stay focused.

Felicita: [chuckles] No...

I mean stay on the ball!

Leo: What?

Fabuloso: ...your very own, Felicita

Fantasticaaaaaaa!!! Crowd: [cheering]

Luna: ♪ Yah-tah-TAH--- Yah-T-T--Tango! ♪

Leo: Luna? Luna: Oh! Hey, Leo!

You had some serious

tango moves out on that dance floor!

Leo: Well, you made a great ball!

Learning the tango was amazing,

but I bet there's even more to learn

here in Buenos Aires.

Luna: There are new things to learn wherever we visit,

but remember, there's always tomorrow.

♪ [whistling theme song] Magic Globe: Carmen? Guys?

I have more stuff to tell you about Buenos Aires!

Hello?

Leo: Hi, it's Leo with a folktale from Argentina

called 'The Toad's Spots.'

Long, long ago,

Toad heard about a dance party

the birds were planning to have up in the clouds.

Birds: [squawking]

Leo: Toad wished he could go,

but not only hadn't he been invited,

he had no way to get up there.

He knew how to hop, but not that high.

Crow: Tu-tu-du-ti-dee!

Leo: He saw Crow getting ready to go to the party,

and snuck inside his guitar.

So, when Crow flew off to the party,

Toad secretly rode along with him.

Well, Crow started playing his guitar

and the birds began to dance.

♪

Toad tried hard to stay out of sight,

but he found the music irresistible.

Toad: Uaaaa!

Leo: He leaped out of the guitar,

and started dancing.

and as you know,

toads are pretty wacky dancers.

The birds were so surprised,

they screamed and squawked

at the top of their lungs.

Toad was so surprised,

he hopped right off the cloud and fell to Earth.

Luckily, Toad survived the fall,

but the small rocks he landed on

left him with bumps and bruises

all over his body,

that turned into spots.

Nevertheless, Toad likes to dance to this very day.

The End.

Carmen: Siesta is Besta

You're doing great, Leo!

Just a few more practice runs,

and I'll be ready for tonight's performance.

Melvinis: Yabba-yabba-yabba!

Andy: Go away, Melvinis!

Melvinis: Yabba-yabba-yabba!

Leo: Carmen, why do I

need to be up so high, again?

Carmen: Because in my Uncle Alberto's act,

he swings high on the trapeze,

while I throw strange balancing items up to him,

and then he stacks and balances them.

Leo: And then what?

How does it end?

Carmen: We have this huge catapult,

that flings me up to him,

and I balance on top of everything!

Anyway, are you ready?

Leo: I don't know if-- Ahhh Carmen--

Ahhhhhh!

Oh, no!

[squeak]

...aahh...aahhh!

Andy: ...I got ya, buddy!

[thud]

[bink-bonk-bomp]

[boink]

Oops.

Sorry, Leo. [chomp]

Leo: Maybe we should take a break, Carmen.

Carmen: Guys, I can't stop now.

Uncle Alberto will be here any minute!

Andy: Cool, Carmen.

Your relative is a performer here in--

Hey, where are we today?

Carmen: Yeah, where are we today, Magic Globe?

Magic Globe: Hey, kids!

Today, you're in the city of Buenos Aires,

the capital city of Argentina.

Buenos Aires is a huge modern city

with influences from all over the world.

People in Argentina love nature,

beaches, and even siestas. Pig: [snores]

Andy: Siestas?

What are those?

Magic Globe: A siesta is like a midday nap,

that many people in Argentina take

to keep a healthy balance of work and rest.

People in larger cities like Buenos Aires

don't take siestas that much anymore.

But those in the surrounding areas still like to enjoy

a daily rest. Adios!

Carmen: Thanks, Magic Globe!

Alberto: Hmmm...very informative, that talking ball.

Carmen: Uncle Alberto!

Alberto: Carmen!

Andy: Hi Mister Uncle Alberto!

I'm Mister Friend Andy!

Leo: And, I'm plain-old Leo!

Alberto: So good to meet you both!

Carmen: Hey, Uncle, where's your trailer?

I want to get a look at those strange balancing items,

I'll be throwing tonight.

Alberto: Oh, yes. About that--

It is very, very sad.

I was driving along happily

with all the strange balancing items in my trailer,

when suddenly--

--the entire trailer became unhitched,

...and flew off a cliff!

Never to be seen or heard from again!

Never to be seen or heard from again![crash!]

Carmen: Oh, no uncle Alberto, what are we going to do

without our strange balancing items?

Alberto: Aw, don't worry, Carmen.

I ordered a replacement shipment.

It should be arriving any second.

See! Here it is!

Oooh! Just in time for siesta!

Carmen: Wait, what?

You can't take a nap now,

we need to prepare for tonight's show!

Alberto: [yawns] I really need it. Aaah!

Carmen: I thought siestas weren't even

that popular in Buenos Aires!

Alberto: Well, it is where I come from.

I siesta every day.

And as I always say,

do not disturb me

until my siesta is over!

Adios!

[soft snoring]

Carmen: Hmmmph. Well, I'm going to at least check out

the strange balancing items I'll be tossing tonight.

Melvinis: Yabba, yabba, yabba! Carmen: Excuse me Melvinis!

Nothing to see here.

Melvinis: Yabba, yabba, yabba! Carmen: Hmmmm...

Uhg--hu-oof!

Ahh, all right, let's take a look...

Wait...what--?

Underwear!

Andy: Okay, this act is gonna be weird.

Carmen: No, you guys, this is a mistake!

There should be strange balancing items in this box.

Not underwear!

Someone must have gotten our shipment

and we got theirs.

Ricky: [gasps] Curses!

Not again!

Andy: Well, we better wake up Uncle Alberto and tell him.

Carmen: No way!

He left strict instructions

not to wake him up from his siesta!

Alberto: Happy siesta...

Andy: Well, I guess underwear

are your strange balancing items.

Carmen: No, Andy, we need

real strange balancing items.

And we've gotta find them before Uncle Alberto wakes up!

Look, there's a strange- balancing-item store

just outside of town.

Leo: Great, but how do we get there?

Andy: It kinda looks closed.

Carmen: Closed for siesta?

Oh, no! It can't be closed!

Wake up, everybody!

It's part of this place's culture to take siestas.

Carmen: No, I gotta find another store!

for strange balancing items back at the Circo?

Carmen: That's crazy. That's ridiculous.

Let's try it.
