Alexis quotes from The Casagrandes

Oh, no! If your dad finds us, he'll know you snuck out! This way!

You want to give me to Alexis? But I thought we were going to be best friends. [Carlitos declines, speaks more] You're trying to save me? [touched] Aww. You really are a good friend. [Carlitos hugs him and tosses him towards Alexis, waving in mid-air] I'll never forget you, Carlitos!

[curious] Whoa, where did you come from, Pinguino? [takes Mr. Fluff out for a walk]

Carlitos. [squawks] What's with the getup? [Carltios babbles in gibberish, pointing down to Vito's dogs; squawks] You're gonna be dog food? [Carlitos babbles again, pointing to himself, saying he'll get punished for sneaking out] Or in trouble for sneaking out? [squawks] You owe me one.

What was that all about?

Oh, the usual. [cleans out his tuba] Ricky and Julius picking on me like they do every day.

Dude, you let them do this you every day? Why?

What choice do I have? I'm a hugger, not a fighter.

Well, good luck with that.

[on the stilts] Carl, what am I doing up here? [loses his balance]

It's all about attitude! [on one of the stilts] We're building up your confidence.

By walking on stilts?

It's an exercise. If you want to feel big you gotta act big!

What is going on here?!

Hey, Principal Valenzuela. So, funny story--

[sharply] My office, now! [Later in her office] Okay, start talking. Who started this and why?

They did!

[sighs] Fine. Then you're all going to be suspended!

[in unison] What?!

[in unison] Aw, man!

Does that mean I can't go to band practice? [starts to cry]

Wait, it was my fault! Don't suspend Alexis! Suspend me! I wanted him to fight. I thought if he stood up for himself, he wouldn't get picked on anymore.

It's not all Carl's fault. He was just trying to help me, and he's right. I do need to stand up for myself. I just have to do it in my own way. [to Ricky and Julius] I really don't like when you guys put weird things in my tuba. It's hard to clean, and it always sounds bad afterwards.

But I like the funny sounds. [Principal Valenzuela clears her throat as she seriously looks at both him and Julius; in unison] We're sorry.

[in unison] We won't do it again.

Great! So, now can we hug it out?

[in unison] Oh.

[in unison] What's a hug?

[sighs] Sure.

I like hugs!

Me too!

Since you used your words to resolve this, no suspension this time. Bravo, boys. [The four boys start leaving her office, to Alexis for a second] One last thing, Mr. Flores. Are the rumors true? Did you really revenge-poop on a pigeon? [whispers] All the teachers are dying to know.

[shrugs] Maybe, maybe not. [leaves]

[closes her office door] Sorry, ladies. I can't confirm or deny the rumors.

[off-screen] It is I, Tuba Boy!

Tuba Boy?

Look, Mama! Tuba Boy, tu-ba rescue!

Alexis is submitting a sidekick too?

And his costume looks amazing.

Yeah, and mine's trash. I really need to step it up if I'm gonna win this contest!

Ooh, the letter from the show! [reading] "Dear Carl Casagrande, thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, we didn't find El Pollito to be a very convincing sidekick." [whimpers with heartbreak] What?

Sorry, Carl. Crackers on me tonight.

[showing up along with Adelaide] Carl, we made it into the final round! What about you?

[tearing up, upset] I-I didn't make it. [lays his head flat on the ground, sobbing as Sergio comforts him]

Hey, you seem upset. You want a hug? It's one of Tuba Boy's powers.

No, I'm fine! Everything's fine!

Okay. Well, wish us luck.

[crumples up the letter, angrily] These judges got it all wrong! El Pollito's not convincing? Oh, I'll convince them all right!

Ooh, whatcha thinking? Blackmail? I know a pigeon.

No, we're gonna make another tape to prove the judges wrong. This time, we'll show El Pollito doing heroic acts.

We did it! You're safe now. [unties Sergio]

My heroes!

Sergio?!

Why are you dressed as a baby?

Carl's idea! He wanted to look like a hero for the show.

Carl, you put Sergio in real danger just to rescue him?

[sighs sadly] It's true. I wanted to convince the show they were wrong for not picking me, but obviously, I totally blew it. Sorry. Turns out, I'm not much of a hero.

You're telling me.

[madly disappointed] Look who it is, the boy who RUINED OUR PERFORMANCE! [snaps her mallet over her knee in rage]

I am so sorry guys. I just wanted to expand my audience. I never meant to ruin your show.

[sniffling] Forget it, DJ Carl, it's over.
