On to more important matters, decide on a best man yet? [clears throat] Say, "Sergio."
I'm not sure, primo. It's a big responsibility.
Ah, come on, I'm responsible. [almost knocks the lamp off; chuckles] Hey, plus, I'll throw the best bachelor party ever! [hugs his primo, beggingly] Please. Oh, please. Por favor. [whimpers while making sad eyes]
Okay, Sergio, of course you can be my best man.
[does a victory dance] Wahoo! Best man, oh yeah! You heard it! Not Bobby! Not Hector! It's me! I'm the best! In your face.
Now, Sergio, as best man, you have a lot to do tomorrow. You must pose for photos, sign the license, and make a speech.
Mira, the best man must also hold on to las arras. [takes out thirteen gold coins in a sack] These thirteen gold coins have been passed down in our family for generations, and now I am giving them to Paco and Paulina.
CCarlos
Las arras bring the couple good luck and a long marriage.
[takes one of the coins out and bites it, losing a tooth] Wow, real gold. Okay, primo, bachelor party time. Leave everything to me.
[waking up] Ah, best bachelor party ever. [checking his pockets] Still got everything? Let's see: wallet, keys, phone, las arras. [holds up the sack and notices a hole in it; worried] Ah, crackers! [shoos some pigeons away] Scram! Shoo! You've gotta be here somewhere.
[wakes up] What are you looking for, Sergio?
Can't find those gold coins.
CCarlos
[shocked] You lost las arras?! Paco has to give Paulina all 13 gold coins at the wedding, or it's bad luck. If you don't find them, their marriage will be doomed!
[wearing a green sweatshirt with a photo of young Carlota] Mi amor, I decide to remember what to wear. What about this? Much?
CCarlos
Oh, a sweatshirt with little Carlota on it.
Isn't it cute? I made one for all mis bebes. [takes off the sweater and is wearing a matching one with baby CJ, another of baby Carl, and another with Carlitos' ultrasound; takes the ultrasound sweater off and is somehow wearing young Carlota under it]
CCarlos
[chuckles awkwardly] Might be a tad much.
[sighs] I know, you're wright, you're correct. It's just that our day together means so much to me. My baby's growing so fast and she's been so busy lately. Soon she'll be a grown-up with a career and family and my mija won't have time for mama. [starts sobbing, which gets on the sweater] Aye! I soaked Carlota!
Okay, I'm cute, casual and ready to go. What's up with mom?
Nothing. [spins away the tears, and the sweater] Just my morning cry, I'm very excited for our own favorite girl's favorite day.
[Later that evening at the apartments, the Casagrandes are holding an intervention for Hector to discuss about his gossip addiction]
[enters excitedly] Hola, I'm home! Ho, you guys will never guess what Vito wears to bed! [only sees his family, all super mad at him] What? You already know about the bunny pajamas?
No, Abuelo. This is a convention.
CCarlos
Actually, Carl, the word is "intervention."
Hector, your chisme addiction is embarrassing your family.
And making the customers mad.
You're a chismoso. And by that, I mean, you're the biggest gossip in town.
What? [not seeing the problem] I'm not a gossip. Anyway, as I was saying… Vito wears his pajamas with huge bunny ears! [the family grumbles at him; realizes what he's doing] Okay, now I see it. I didn't even know I was doing it. I'm sorry. I never meant any harm.
I know, mi amor, but when you talk about people behind their backs, it can be hurtful.
Ah, you're right. As of today, I am swearing off chisme. Right after I tell you about Mr. Scully's toupee. [snickers, then Ronnie Anne shoves a pillow in his mouth to shut him up]
[squawks] This won't be easy.
Don't worry, Abuelo, we can come by the mercado and help you cut the chisme.
You broke El Falcón's cape!
BBoth
This is your fault!
[after doing some sleep walking; whispering] It worked! He's asleep!
CCarlos
[whispering] Finally!
[suddenly hears her mijos screaming and growls, they are about to start wrestling when they feel an extra set of hands, so she pulls them apart; angrily whispering] Are you kidding me?! [holds both of them in front of their baby hermano] If either of you wakes Carlitos… [pulls them away; fiercely with a background of fire] you may get grounded for one month! No, two months!
EFEl Falcón
Mega elote!
[Fires a big piece of elote which bounces off a bust, the table lamp, Frida's canvaed easel, and hits Carlitos in the butt and the face. Once he woke up, he wails again and rewakes up Frida and Carlos]
[shocked] Who? What? Why?
CCarlos
[wakes up from the crying and sees what he's cuddling] Ugh! Lalo?! [Lalo leaves in a huff]
[sees Carlitos crying, then sees her mijos trying to tiptoe out of the room when they woke him up him and stops them] Hold it right there! That's it! Two of you are grounded!
CCarlos
And why are you dressed as sheep?
I don't even care! No buts, no ands, no ifs, and no sos and ours. Go to your favorite rooms. And I may not hear a peep from one of you for the rest of the afternoon!
BBoth
This is your fault!
[angrily whispering] Hey! I said, not…a…peep.
CCarlos
[forgetting to whisper] Look at that, Frida! They managed to make up on their own.
CCarlos
Whoops. Sorry, Frida. I got too excited.
[Carlitos cries off-screen]
[angrily] And now, you're grounded! [storms off]
CCarlos
[shocked] Wait, for how long?! [goes after Frida as she goes to his room]
[holding Carlitos as he cries when he crashed into the cake] Mi Bebe!
CCarlos
[angrily to Vito] Ugh, see?! Look what you did! This is why I tried to stop you from coming today! [gives Vito back his phone and wallet]
What? [realizes] Wait a minute. I'm starting to think that you had something to do with my stolen wallet and my scooter getting towed!
CCarlos
Ding, ding, ding! What choice did I have?! I'm sorry, Vito. I don't want you to be the padrino. You're just… too much!
[hurt and heartbroken] Oofa doofa, that hurts. I'll just get out of your hair, then. Here, Carlitos. I know you love turtles and choo-choo trains, so I bought you these toys. I also made you enough meatball puree to last you until you're on solid foods.
CCarlitos
[tearfully] Oofa doofa…
[sniffs] Take care of yourself. [leaves, dejected]
