Maria quotes from The Casagrandes

Ronnie Anne

[looking around] Mom! Mom, are you here?

[in a large orange piñata statue] Ronnie Anne, is that you?

Ronnie Anne

Mom, what happened to you?

Frida. When I agreed to do this life-size mold for her art installation, I didn't expect to be in plaster for four hours.

Ronnie Anne

Oh, no. We didn't do all this work just so another ex could swoop in and ruin everything!

Bobby

Yeah, let that T-Bone find his own lifetime of happiness!

Hey, would you like to have dinner with me tonight at our place?

Bobby

They have a place?!

[blushing] You remember the pizza place? I'll meet you there tonight at 7:00. I better go freshen up. [rushes off]

Ernesto

You better fix this rapido or you're gonna be stuck with this guy!

Ronnie Anne

We have to get rid of T-Bone and get Dad to the restaurant.

Bobby

I'll grab Dad and meet you there!

Ronnie Anne

Mom, Dad, are you okay?

Arturo

Mijo, what's gotten into you?!

Bobby

We did all of this work to get you two here, so we can all have a lifetime of happiness! You're not leaving here until you get back together again, just like Ernesto said.

So that's what this is about.

Arturo

Huh? Can someone tell me what's going on?

Ronnie Anne

[sighs] Ernesto Estrella predicted you guys would get back together tonight. Hearing it out loud now, it does kind of sound silly, huh?

[as she and Arturo smile at each other] I don't think it was silly. I mean, we are together tonight.

Arturo

Just not romantically.

Bobby

[disappointed] Yeah, but, it's just one dumb night. Not a lifetime.

But we'll be a family for a lifetime.

Arturo

And, hey, what if we made it a regular thing? A family pizza night every month.

Ernesto

And BOOM! A lifetime of happiness after all. Ernesto is the best-o! Estrella out!

Bobby

Hurry up with the tres leches wedding cake. They just pulled up!

On it!

[enters the apartment with Mama Lupe and Paco] Look, everyone. It's Mama Lupe and Paco, our handsome groom.

Hola.

Bienvenidos.

Hi, Mama Lupe.

[squawks] Primo, ready to clip your wings-- I mean, get married?

Claro que si. I can't wait to marry mi amor, Paulina. [takes out a photo of Paulina, a deformed female pigeon] She's the wind beneath my wings.

Maybe you should keep her beneath your wing. I mean, real catch.

Oh, [hugs Paco tightly] I can't believe mi bebe is finally getting married! [sits on the sofa and claps] Oh, I could almost cry.

[tearfully] Leave that to me!

[bursts into apartment 2A] Quick! Need help! Las arras fell out of the bag!

[horrified] Sergio! How could you?! Now Paco and Paulina will be doomed!

Ronnie Anne

Abuela, we can fix this. We'll help Sergio find them.

Yeah, and the rest of us can keep Paco distracted in the meantime.

Vamos! Before they're doomed.

[entering the living room with Rosa; impressed with her daughter and Sid's dancing] That was great, girls. Your hard work practicing these dances all week has really paid off.

Even I know the moves now. Hip, hip, double heart fingers.

Sid

No one can resist a 12 is Midnight bop. It's a fact.

Ronnie Anne

And now we've got every one of 12 is Midnight's signature moves down. [she and Sid hold each other and jump while squealing] I still can't believe you won us the chance to be extras in their next music video! Talk about luck.

Sid

Luck and about 300 boxes of 12 is Midnight After Dark Cocoa Cereal.

Bobby?!

Bobby

I'm so sorry. I'm not Jean-Philippe. He moved to Paris and I've been living here ever since.

¿Que?

But Bobby, why?

[noticing the canned corn sofa] That's where my canned corn went. [screams as the swarm of bees resume attacking him]

There's so much chaos at home, and I felt like I needed my own space. Please don't use the super-chancla!

Bobby

[chuckling uncomfortably] Why are we laughing? I'm scared.

Bobby, you should've talked to us.

You're an adult now, and you can make your own decisions, mijo.

Bobby

Oh, really? What about when Tío Carlos went to college and you moved into his dorm with him?

That was his idea! He wouldn't stop crying and begging me to stay.

What a baby.
