Hector quotes from The Loud House

Downtown? At her age?

Is she crazy?

We tried to talk her out of it but you know how she is, stubborn like an ox.

Lori

I'm sorry, Boo-Boo Bear, I know you were looking forward to having a real Thanksgiving this year.

Bobby

It's not all bad. I found this half-off turkey jerky.

Flip

Jumping jerky! Holy hot dogs!

Bobby

Whoa, how did you guys find us?

Tracking devices. [both look at each other]

Lynn Sr.

You left before trying my twice-baked tart.

They would prefer my flan.

Lynn Sr.

Flan, shman. Tart, tart, tart!

Bobby

Stop! Don't you guys see? This is why we left. We couldn't stand the fighting and competing.

Lori

We don't want to choose sides. So maybe from now on, we should just spend Thanksgiving by ourselves.

Well, nobody wants that.

Lynn Sr.

We certainly don't.

Lori, Bobby, I'm sorry we've been acting so childishly.

Rita

We're sorry too, it's just so hard to let go of your kids. [to the Casagrandes] You know what? You should get Lori and Bobby for Thanksgiving.

Well, goodness knows we haven't done anything to deserve that. They should spend it with you.

Flip

Hey, I got an idea. Why don't you just rotate every year, huh? Much like the juicy hot dogs I'm selling at a mere 40% markup. Holiday discount.

Bobby

Works for us.

I'm glad we figured out future years, but what about right now? I'm starving!

Bobby

Well, we've got hot dogs and sunflower seeds and 20 kinds of artisanal jerky. Maybe we could throw a dinner together here.

Lynn Sr.

I'm game.

Me too.

We could make this place look festive. I think I have some leftover decorations in the car.

Rita

I'll help you.

Hurry, hurry! "Adiós, Ana, Adiós" is on!

Whoo! Yes! Telenovela time!

[squawks] Mystery! Drama! Romance!

Don't forget style. Obsessed with Ana's outfits.

Bobby

I'm gonna try to watch it in the mercado. My favorite shift's about to start.

It's okay, mi'jito. We'll shout out the window about the juicy parts.

Bobby

Yes!

[rushes in] Did I miss it? Whoa! [Slips on Lalo's drool and makes Ronnie Anne fall to the floor] Ooh, sorry, mija.

I'm glad you could try to tear yourself away from your gossip long enough to be here, viejito.

Who was gossiping? I was dealing with Maybelle. And you know what a difficult customer she is.

Are you sure you don't want to join us, mija? The novela is getting really good!

[shakes her head] Mm.

Come on. Just give it a chance. It's a family tradition.

You can sit by me.

Guys, I told you already. I'm not into telenovelas. Call me when the soccer match is on.

Shh! Why can you say no to this? [TV shows Ana sitting on a stool sewing a hat with her grandparents] That's our own favorite hero, Ana Ronalda. She's an orphan raised by her grandparents.

The other bad folks want money, but the family doesn't have any, so they're taking Ana Ronalda.

[hugs her kids together, crying] This is why I make you kids carry a whistle!

You guys, this show is so cheesy. Sorry, but you wouldn’t catch me watching it in a billion years.

Lori

Thanks for coming, Lucy.

I'm flattered the Casagrandes want my help.

Thank you for letting Boris come along, too. I'm so excited for Halloween in the big city.

Lucy! Muchas gracias for helping us!

It's my pleasure, really. Scaring people brings me joy.

Bobby

[hugs Boris, mistaking him for Grandpa Leonard] And this must be the legendary Gramps that Lori's been telling us about. Nice to meet you, sir.

Boris is actually a child, but appreciates the sentiment.

Lori

Hey, Carlota. You look stressed. What's up?

I'm just really behind on making everyone's costumes for tonight. I'm never gonna finish on time.

Hmm. What if you had help? Leni is awesome with fashion.

Bobby

That's a great idea! Babe, would you mind going back to Royal Woods to get her? We'll still have plenty of time for our romantic Halloween celebration.

Oh, it would really help me out, Lori.

Lori

[sighs] Of course. Anything to help you guys win. [chuckles]

[quickly hugs her] Thank you so much for coming!

Leni

You can brief me on the way up. What are we looking at?

Silk, cotton, wool, and I was thinking… linen.

Leni

[gasps] Linen in October? Now, that's scary.

Bobby

[peeking out] Hi, Babe!

[noticing Lisa, also in tow] Lisa, what are you doing here?

None of our siblings found my musings on All-Hallows-Eve to be interesting, so they offered my 50 bucks to, and I quote, "Take my dull facts elsewhere."

Did someone say dull facts? You're speaking my language! Lisa, would you like to help me reassemble a skeleton while discussing the mythology behind this spooky holiday?

[gasps and squeals] I apologize for that amateurish display of emotion. Be right up!"

Lori

Ugh, Boo-Boo Bear, I am so ready to start our romantic Halloween celebration. Is the mercado all decorated?

Not yet. We just need to wrangle the pack of angry neighborhood cats, which means we need Lana.

Lori

[slumps in dismay] Ugh, seriously?!

It would mean a lot to me, mija.

Lori

Ugh. You know I can never say no to you, Mr. C.

[hugs her] I was counting on that.

[entering the mercado] I hear you guys need a cat wrangler. Well, you called the right person.

Thanks for coming, Lana. But please be careful, these neighborhood cats are wild and mean. So… [notices Lana is nowhere to be seen] Lana? Where did she go?

[leads the black cats into the mercado] This way, guys! Stay in formation. [Tarantulas also enter which she has rounded up] I also rounded up some tarantulas. I thought they might add a little extra scare.

Lana, you're our salvadora! Oh, we've got first place in the bag!

Bobby

[catches Lori trying to hide under his bed as he enters his room] Lori?

Lori

[hesitantly] Surprise! Happy Cat-parent-iversary! [chuckles awkwardly]

Bobby

But it hasn't been a month yet, unless we're celebrating by week. [notices something] Wait a minute. Bland cat salad, boring toys, itchy homemade PJ's? [gasps in outrage shock] You're not here for our early cat-parent-iversary. You're sneaking around my back, taking care of Pepurroni! How could you?!

[calling off-screen] Bobby, Lola called to say your $100 check bounced, so she's done doing your dirty gato work.

Lori

[also gasps in outrage shock] You were doing the same thing!

[also calling off-screen] Bobby paid her an hundy? Lori only paid me 80 lousy bucks.

Bobby

[long gasp in complete shock] You had Carl helping you too?!

Lori

Oh, quit gasping. Pepurroni needed one responsible parent.

Bobby

Yeah? Well, I had to make sure he wasn't bored to tears.

Lori

Bored?! I took him to cat yoga!

Bobby

Yeah, not exactly a kitty's favorite past time.

Lori

Oh, yeah?! Then why was he purring his head off?!

Bobby

Was he purring, or was he groaning?
