Manny, you can't force people to change. But you're not doing it to me, so who cares, right? All right, let's get going.
Going?
Yeah, me and the Atomic Sombreros are doing a lunch concert, remember?
This band thing is going nowhere, Frida. You need to give it up and learn something practical, like how to tap dance!
[gasps in shock] Give up my band?! Wait, now you are doing it to me!
[shaking irately] I said… LEARN TO TAP DANCE! [smiles and leaves]
Somebody should really do something about that guy, huh?
Yeah. Somebody should. [later in a closet, she assembles all the students for a meeting] People, I want Help-zilla out, and the old Manny back. And Sergio here has an idea how we can do it.
[stepping in] I believe I know someone who can help. Someone who can… show El Tigre the error of his ways.
Like a counselor, right?
[laughs] Yes. A counselor. [starts laughing maniacally] Uh, I, uh, I just remembered a joke.
[examining his statue] Man, I look good.
You look like a BULLY!
[turns around, seeing Frida and all the other students angrily facing him] Frida? What is this?
[sternly] Manny, there's someone I want you to talk to. Where's Sergio's friend?
[drops down in front] Here!
Ooh, this may have been a mistake.
It's over, pardner! No more bullying these fine-a folks!
Bullying them? I was helping them. Right, guys? [the other students tear down his statue] I thought I was doing good.
