Ronnie Anne quotes from The Casagrandes

Why does Abuela get to pick what we do today? [gasps] Can I pick?

I wanna pick!

Ronnie Anne

I wanna pick!

No. It's Abuela's turn. Rosa, get in here before these bobo's steal your pick!

Coming! Who's ready for a fun day of birdwatching in the woods?

Ronnie Anne

Uh, say what?

Birdwatching is my new favorite hobby, and I want to see how many different pajaros we can spot from my book, "Cuckoo for Birding."

Ronnie Anne

Abuela, I don't know. Birdwatching sounds, uh, how do I put this nicely? Super boring.

I think I'm literally melting.

Melting? I'm literally molting!

Ronnie Anne

So Abuela, where are these famous birds you wanted to see?

[shrugs] Well, guess they're not here. Okay, come on, let's go.

Wait! We haven't even tried all the bird calls that I learned. [squawks, but summons accidentally summons Bitsy] Whoops. That's the elephant call. [tweets, but accidentally summons two hipsters] Sorry, that must be the hipster call.

Are you guys birdwatching?

[scoffs] We were doing that before it was cool. Huh?

[clinging onto one of them] TAKE US WITH YOU!!!

Don't worry, kids. Birdwatching takes time.

Ugh, this is a nightmare. We're birdwatching on the hottest day in Earth, there are zero birds, and now some rando is hanging with us. We have to get out of here.

But how? We can't leave until Abuela sees some birds.

Well, the only bird that seems to be in the woods today is Sergio.

I told you! You wanna watch a bird, watch me!

Ronnie Anne

[thinks for a second] Hmm. [gets an idea] That's it! What if we dress up Sergio to look like a bunch of the birds in Abuela's book?

Yeah! If we do that, we'll be out of the woods in no time.

[takes out her accessory kit] We can use my travel accessory kit to dress Sergio up.

Ronnie Anne

Sergio, are you down?

[getting covered in bee stings; sarcastically] No, I'm loving this bug-infested dirt hole! Let's do this!

Ronnie Anne

[acting] Hey, Abuela, look! [points up to a tree] Is that one of the birds from your book?

Sergio, start pecking the tree!

You want me to bang my head against a tree? I'm not doing it.

Then we're not going home.

Strange. Woodpeckers normally peck trees a lot faster.

My book says they're the fastest birds on Earth! They can dive at speeds over 200 miles per hour.

Ronnie Anne

How is Sergio gonna pull that off?

I gave him El Falcón's rocket blaster.

[activates the rocket blaster and speeds off; screams] HOLY ELOTE!!! WHERE'S THE BRAKES?! [crashes into the woods, creating an explosion]

[noticing something; acting] Mira, Abuela! Look at that bird!

Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet.

By Jove, I don't believe it! A Vogelkop bird-of-paradise? Here in Great Lakes City?!

Ronnie Anne

Pretty cool, huh?

Pretty rare is more like it. My book says these birds are normally only found in New Guinea.

[chuckles nervously] Uh, must be your lucky day, Abuela.

Well, I don't think we can top that! This has been a wonderful day! Let's head home. Nice to meet you, Señor Nababirdy.
