The Casagrandes quotes

Ah, I love Fridays. I can already smell the weekend. Freedom, pizza…

Ronnie Anne

[desolated] It's Monday, Carl.

Carlota, I'm here to tell you that you're missing a PE credit. You'll have to make it up, ASAP.

Oh, no, see, I don't love sports so, I took extra art classes. That should be enough credits, right?

[not buying it] I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. If you don't get that PE credit, you can't graduate.

[shocked] What?!

Good news is, there's still time to join a sport. [walks away] Have fun!

Worst day ever! First, it's Monday, and now I'm not gonna graduate?!

Ronnie Anne

What? Carlota, you just have to join a sport. Easy-peasy.

You don't understand, Ronnie Anne. Sports are really not my thing.

Ronnie Anne

Not yet. Maybe you just haven't found the right one. I can help with that.

Pfft, good luck. Wouldn't want her on my team.

Ronnie Anne

Maybe soccer's your thing. Abuelo watches the Gatos on TV all the time. I bet you've already picked up a tip or two from their star player, Picosito. [shows her prima an image of Picosito kicking the ball]

Sí, Picosito does make it look pretty easy. Let's kick the ball into that… net, thingy.

Ronnie Anne

Uh… it's called a goal.

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.

Bobby

[noticing something and points up to a tree; acting] Look, an owl!

Hoot, hoot, hoot.

Ooh, I hear they can turn their heads all the way around.

Are you kidding me?! [realizes] I mean, hoot, hoot! [tries to rotate his neck and nearly snaps from the force]

By Jove…

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.

I can't believe we let this happen to Sergio!

I blame Bobby.

Bobby

[offended] Me?! What did I do?!

Boo-boo bear! Are you okay?!

Bobby

No! I can never get any peace and quiet around here! It's a madhouse! You have no idea.

I'm a Loud, hello. I have a pretty good idea.

Bobby

Sometimes, I just wish I had my own apartment.

Bonjour, buddy! I have big news! I am moving out! I got a job in Paris! Know anyone who might want my apartment?

Bobby

Not now, Jean-Philippe. I'm trying to talk to my girlfriend.

Okay. Well, if you hear of anyone, let me know. Au revoir!

Uh, Bobby, I don't need to point out the obvious, but your neighbor just literally solved your problem.

Bobby

I can't go with him to France.

No, Bobby, I meant you could move into Jean-Philippe's apartment.

Bobby

Oh, yeah! That would be amazing! But Abuela would never allow it. She doesn't like when her bebés leave the nest. When Tío Carlos went to college, she moved into the dorms with him!

Bobby, you're an adult. Your family will understand. You can't live at home forever.

Bobby

You're right! I'm gonna do it. Jean-Philippe, wait! [steps on Ronnie Anne's skateboard, screams, and crashes] Oof! [groans] Ouch.

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.

Bobby

You were so right, babe. And I can't wait for you to visit my new place!

Me, too! You're so grown up, boo-boo bear. [giggles] Love you! [gives him a kiss]

Bobby

Love you, babe. [kisses in return and ends the call] ♪ All grown up, taking care of myself ♪ [yawns] Time for mimis. [goes to sleep]

[watching Bobby through monitor with other monitors showing her familia in a secret lair] Sweet dreams, mijo. [wipes a tear from her eye and leaves the lair, revealing it to be hidden in the apartment complex's water tower]
