(combo playing jazz)

BUSTER: Muffy, you know

I'd love to come the party, but I'm in D.C.

We just got here.

Is Los Viajeros

playing for the president?

No, they have a concert

at the National Zoo on Monday.

Well, if you were playing for the president,

I could understand, but a zoo?

Puh-leeze.

No, Bailey, that's too obvious.

Bury it over there.

Buster, you have to come

to the Crosswire Easter Egg Hunt.

You're the star. You always find Big Bertha.

Big Bertha!

I had forgotten about her.

At last!

Big Bertha.

Wow.

Mmm.

I guess someone else will just have to find her this year.

Why don't you fly up

to Elwood City tomorrow morning,

come to my Easter party and then fly back?

I can't just fly up to Elwood City.

Not everybody has a private jet, you know.

Yeah, but you do.

Or, at least Los Viajeros do.

Hey, Dad, can we fly back to Elwood City tomorrow?

Just for the day?

Sorry, sport.

I actually have to fly to Miami tomorrow.

Somehow Alyssa's drum set never made it onto the plane.

I feel terrible.

You'll miss spending the holiday with Buster.

That's all right.

I'll be back by :.

Buster and I can have supper together.

Maybe hear some jazz.

Hmm. That sounds like fun.

In the meantime,

I'll show you all around D.C.

It's my hometown, you know.

Sounds good to me. Let's go.

Ahem. You might want to put on some shoes first.

We're going to be doing a lot of walking.

LOS VIAJEROS: ♪ So much to see when you're in D.C. ♪

♪ Yeah. When you're in D.C. ♪

♪ Got a lot of places ♪

♪ That you have to be ♪ ♪ Yeah, come on. ♪

♪ Try to do it all ♪

♪ From A to Z ♪ ♪ From A to Z. Yeah ♪

♪ There's so much to see when you're in D.C. ♪

ALYSSA (rapping): ♪ There goes the Capitol ♪

♪ Jefferson Memorial ♪

♪ Washington Monument, isn't it magnificent? ♪

BUSTER: ♪ What's that giant monster thing? ♪

♪ It's called "The Awakening" ♪

♪ There's our th president ♪

♪ Could we sit? My legs are spent ♪

♪ Here's Pennsylvania Avenue ♪

♪ Come on, let's move, there's more to do. ♪

Whew.

I don't know about you, Alyssa,

but I'm starving from all this walking.

We just had lunch.

That was an hour ago.

Besides, didn't a president once say,

"Ask not what your stomach can do for you,

but what you can do for your stomach?"

I think you need to brush up on your history.

Hey, look-- an ice cream truck.

And it's a biggie.

Jackpot!

Hi, ma'am. I'll take a chocolate vanilla swirl

with extra sprinkles, please.

Hi. This isn't an ice cream truck.

This is the D.C. Public Library's Xtreme Mobile.

"Xtreme Mobile"? What's that?

A bookmobile

that not only has books but also computers,

where you can do everything that you would do

in a D.C. public library.

You want to take a look inside

and see? Sure.

I do have some books on ice cream. Oh, that's okay.

Reading about it will only make me hungrier.

Hi. I'm Buster.

Hi, Buster. I'm Adrianna.

What you got there?

Oh, I'm just checking out some Easter books.

Ah, Easter eggs.

I wish I was going to be home for Easter.

I'm going to miss a great party.

Oh. I'm sorry, Buster.

That's okay.

So, do you have to pay for these books?

No, actually, the Xtreme Mobile is free.

They have everything. They also have Internet, too.

Here's my friend Keith,

actually checking out the Internet sites.

Hi, Keith.

Hi, Buster.

Are you doing anything special for Easter?

Well, I just got a suit.

A new suit for, uh, Easter.

Cool.

I have a suit with me, but I haven't worn it yet.

If you're in town, you can come with me to church.

Really? Okay. It's going to be real fun

because you're going to see me, the star.

Hey, I thought the Easter Bunny was the star

of Easter. Hey, Buster,

I'm having a, um, dinner,

an Easter dinner at my grandmother's house on Sunday.

Would you like to come?

Sure, if it's okay with my dad.

Okay.

BUSTER: Hey, where are we going?

Oh, we're going to go meet some of our friends.

Come on, Alyssa.

This is Karen.

Hi, Buster. Hi.

Here's my friend Morgan.

Hi.

Here's Jasmine. Hi, Buster.

Here's Tonika. Hey, Buster.

Here's Juanita. Hi, Buster.

And here's my mother.

Hi, Buster.

Hi, everyone.

Wow, you've got a lot of friends, Adrianna.

What are you guys playing? Double Dutch.

Watch this, Buster.

ALYSSA: Whoa. She's good.

They're all good.

Why don't you try it, Buster?

How do you guys do it? You got to jump in

at the right time. Okay.

Do you want to go, Buster?

Okay. Here I go.

GIRLS: Go Buster, go Buster, go.

Go Buster, go Buster, go.

Go Buster, go Buster, go.

Hey, I double-Dutched!

But it wasn't for very long.

Maybe that was just a single Dutch?

Hey, you did pretty good, Buster.

This is my friend Jamal.

Hey, Buster.

When I grow up,

I'd like to be a quarterback.

I could see that.

You've got a great arm.

You want to come with us?

We're going to decorate some eggs

and going to have lots of fun. Do you want to come?

BUSTER: Can we? ALYSSA: Sure.

Mount Bethel Baptist Church.

Get out! This is the church

I used to go to when I was growing up.

It hasn't changed a bit.

Wow, look at all those beautiful baskets.

Hey, Buster, you made it.

That was a great shortcut you told me about, Adrianna.

KIDS: Hi, Buster.

BUSTER: So, how do you guys dye your eggs?

First you put a little dye into a cup.

Then you place three tablespoons of vinegar into the cup.

Ooh, I love it when the vinegar makes it bubble.

ADRIANNA: Hey, Buster.

Come and look at my egg.

I left it in there for a very long time so it got extra dark.

I call it the blue rock.

I'd love to find that egg under a bush.

Especially if there was chocolate inside,

instead of... egg.

MORGAN: Buster,

we have an Easter egg hunt at our house.

Would you like to come join us?

Would I? You bet!

I usually go to my friend Muffy's hunt,

but I can't this time.

Egg hunting is my favorite part of Easter.

Whoa. That's a lot of Easter baskets.

KEITH: Around in the church there's Easter baskets.

Do you want to see some more Easter baskets?

Sure. Come on.

BUSTER: Wow! It's like Easter paradise.

Sunday, we're going to pass out Easter baskets to everybody.

BUSTER: Really? For free?

So I can get one, too?

ALYSSA: Buster, come on, we have to get back to the hotel.

Okay, I'm coming.

Oh, I can't wait for tomorrow.

This is going to be great!

Hey, Sport.

Did you have a good day with Alyssa?

Oh, yeah.

We saw everything.

And I've got plans for Easter Sunday.

I'm going to church with Keith,

an Easter egg hunt with Morgan and Jamal,

and dinner with Adrianna.

That sounds like a lot to do in one day.

Are you sure

you'll be able to fit it all in?

Oh, yeah.

At least I think I will.

Do they all live in the same neighborhood?

I have all their addresses, but I don't know how close they are.

Well, you better check, Buster.

You don't want to disappoint your new friends.

What if I have to cancel one of them?

Let's see.

Keith is in a neighborhood called Anacostia.

Well?

Are you coming to my party or not?

No! In fact, I've said yes to three different things tomorrow,

and there's no way

I'm going to make them all.

(chuckles)

You've triple-booked yourself.

Happens all the time to the novice socialite.

What? I'm not a socialite.

The Baxters always vote independent.

(sighs)

Here's what you have to do.

Listen closely.

So you've got a plan for tomorrow?

(yawns)

I'll be at Keith's at :;

hit the Easter egg hunt at :,

allowing for minutes travel time;

then dinner at Adrianna's from : to :.

Addresses and phone numbers are on the back.

And I thought I had a busy day.

(yawns)

ALYSSA: Buster.

(yawns)

Huh?

It's : a.m., time to get up.

Happy Easter.

Huh? Whoa.

Look at you!

BUSTER: Hey, Keith. Happy Easter.

Happy Easter to you, too, Buster.

Nice suit.

Yeah. Got to look good.

I should make sure I look okay, too.

You look great, Buster.

Thanks!

Hey, you two, let's go.

BUSTER: What's in the bag?

Got drumsticks.

Drumsticks?

Why are you bringing drumsticks to church?

You'll see.

You get to play drums in church?

That's so cool!

ALYSSA: I used to play drums in this church, too.

It's where I first started really getting into music.

Why do you have so many drumsticks?

This is the big cotton.

It's used for the cymbals to make...

(cymbal roll)

When we do prayer, it opens up

and makes soft tones.

(brushing cymbals)

(brushing drums)

Yeah, Buster, Alyssa might know all that stuff,

but I'm just telling you what I know.

You seem to know a lot yourself, Keith.

(playing slow rhythm)

MAN: Hey, Keith, what's up?

Hey. You all right?

BUSTER: That must be the preacher.

BUSTER: Wow.

Everyone is so dressed up.

ALYSSA: For a lot of people,

Easter is the most important holiday of the year.

Because of Easter eggs?

No, it's a celebration of Jesus.

Shh, now listen to the music.

CONGREGATION: ♪ ...that Jesus Christ ♪

♪ Is born. ♪

(applause)

BUSTER: Keith, you were great up there!

How long have you been playing?

I've been playing the drums for about...

about three months.

That's it?

KEITH: They're giving me a scholarship

to go to school to practice more

to be a better drummer.

ALYSSA: Buster, we have to leave now if we want to make

Morgan and Jamal's Easter egg hunt.

Oh, no! I'm going to miss my chance

to get one of those Easter paradise baskets.

You promised your friends you'd go to the hunt.

Okay.

Thanks a lot for bringing me to church with you.

Yes, what you heard on Easter Sunday,

that's what Easter's all about.

BUSTER: Hey, Morgan, Jamal, I'm here!

(panting): I'm ready for the hunt.

Buster, you missed it. Buster, you missed it.

What? You're joking!

We just found the last... We just found the last eggs.

All of them?

Yes. Aw...

Well, can I see what I didn't get?

You like chocolate?

Of course I like chocolate.

Are you trying to t*rture me?

Here you go.

Ah, thanks.

Yeah, you came a little late.

Came too late. Yep.

I sure did.

ALYSSA: You two are dressed up nice.

Are you going to church later?

Yes.

BUSTER: I already went to church.

That's why I missed the hunt.

Been out here all day,

and you missed it.

You missed it, man. We had so much fun.

BUSTER: Okay, okay, don't rub it in.

ALYSSA: Well, speaking of missing things,

we better get to Adrianna's or we'll miss Easter dinner, too.

Okay.

I'll see you guys later.

Happy Easter!

Bye, Buster! Bye, Buster.

Bye!

Happy Easter, Buster!

Hey, Buster, you made it.

Come on in and meet my family.

BUSTER: All right.

I hope they saved us some food.

ALYSSA: I'm sure there'll be plenty to eat, Buster.

Here's my grandmother.

Hi, Buster.

Welcome to my home.

Happy Easter!

ALYSSA: Thank you so much for having us over.

Oh, it's no problem.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Here's my brother, Anthony.

Hey, Anthony. Hi.

ADRIANNA: My cousin, Daisha.

Hi, Buster.

Here's my mother.

Hi, Buster.

I'll show you around the house.

Here's the kitchen.

(Buster sniffing)

BUSTER: Mmm, something smells good.

Dining room.

Hey, the plates are still clean.

That means we didn't miss dinner.

My room is all blue because that's my favorite color.

And it has a lot of little statues.

That's my grandmother's.

Today has been

a good day for me because some of my family is coming over.

We're going to have a big dinner.

BUSTER: Well, I'm a big eater, so that'll work out just fine.

Okay.

What are we eating?

This is teriyaki rice.

Teriyaki-riffic!

You had sweet potato pudding before, Buster?

Yep. Alyssa made it for me once.

You like it with marshmallows?

I like anything with marshmallows.

Oh, good.

You like turkey?

Who doesn't?

(chuckling): Is there anything you don't like, Buster?

Being hungry.

What are you making, Adrianna?

I'm going to make chocolate cake.

I'm going to get three eggs.

How did you learn how to make this?

My grandmother actually taught me.

And my mother taught me how to make a cake.

I love cooking.

Well, I love eating.

We make a good combination.

ALYSSA: Look at all this.

Casserole, turkey, sweet corn.

This is just like Easter at my house.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Buster, you're going to love this food.

I just hope I can save room for the cake.

Some homemade macaroni and cheese.

Bring it on!

God is grace and God is good, and we thank you for our food.

By thy hands we all are fed.

Give us Lord our daily prayer.

Amen. Thank you, Jesus.

Hallelujah. Praise the Lord.

Thank God for fixing our food.

Thank God for waking us up.

Thank God for keeping us safe.

Thank God for giving us life and not death,

and I hope we win the lottery.

Thank God for keeping our food clean.

Thank God for keeping our family safe. Amen.

One, two, three.

Clap your hands. Stomp your feet.

Praise the Lord. It's time to eat.

BUSTER: Amen.

ADRIANNA: Buster, you must have been hungry,

because you ate everything on your plate.

BUSTER: Mmm! That's because it was so good.

Actually, I could've eaten more, but I was holding back

so I'd have some room for your cake.

ALYSSA: I'm sorry, Buster,

but I don't think we have time for dessert.

BUSTER: No dessert?! What do you mean?

Your father's expecting us

back at the hotel at :, remember?

Oh, yeah... (Buster sighs)

I've been a little bit behind the entire day.

Well, I guess I can't have my cake and eat it, too.

I'll see you later, Adrianna.

Thanks for spending Easter with us, Buster.

Bye. Bye.

Thanks for having us!

(Buster groans)

I don't think I could have eaten any cake

even if I had the time.

I'm stuffed.

I'm sure we'll walk it all off tomorrow.

I'm taking you and your dad to the National Zoo.

Cool! Do they have a panda?

I've always wanted to see a panda.

Yep. They also have cheetahs and hippos.

But best of all,

there's a special Easter Monday celebration.

It started over a hundred years ago

as an event for African-American families

who couldn't attend the White House Easter Egg Roll.

Hey, maybe I can ask Adrianna to come.

And Keith, and Morgan, and Jamal.

The more the merrier.

Just make sure you don't overbook yourself this time.

And then, to top it all off,

my dad and I saw a Latin jazz band

called The Estébanez Quintet.

Whoa-- that's quite a day.

(sighing): Yeah. It was great.

You don't sound so convinced.

Well, it's just that I missed the Easter egg hunt,

and that's my favorite part of Easter.

Why don't you have your own egg hunt?

Who says it has to be on Easter?

Hey, maybe I could have one tomorrow,

before we go to the zoo.

But what would we hunt for?

Everybody's probably had enough chocolate by now.

I am a horsefly!

No, you're not.

Sorry. I'm watching a rerun of RiddleQuest.

Wait a minute... riddles!

That's it! Arthur, you're a genius!

Well, I am pretty good at the show,

but I don't know if I'm a genius.

That's not what I meant.

I'll explain later.

I've got work to do!

(Buster dialing phone)

(ringtone plays)

Hello?

Hey, Keith. It's me, Buster.

Hey, Buster, how you doing?

BUSTER (on phone): Not bad.

How was the rest of Easter?

My Easter was great. How about yours?

It was really fun.

Except remember how I was going to Morgan and Jamal's egg hunt?

Well, I missed it, so I've decided to have

my own Easter egg hunt at the zoo today.

Wow! At the zoo?

Yeah, pretty cool, right?

It's at noon and we're going to meet at the front gate.

(ringtone plays)

Hello?

Hi, Adrianna. It's Buster.

Hi, Buster.

BUSTER (on phone): Thanks again

for that amazing meal.

How are you doing? I'm doing well.

Would you be up for an Easter egg hunt?

I mean, a day-after-Easter egg hunt.

I've organized one at the zoo today.

Can you come? I think I can make it.

(chuckles)

This is going to be great!

ALYSSA: This is it, Buster.

Easter Monday at the National Zoo.

MAN: Welcome to the Smithsonian's National Zoo.

My name is Mario, and you all are here today on Easter Monday.

And I hear Buster has something

very special for you all today.

BUSTER: Are you ready for Buster Baxter's

the day-after-Easter, super-challenging egg hunt?

KIDS: Yes.

Follow the clues and they'll lead you to a big prize.

Here's the first one.

MARIO: I have a map over here

that might be able to help you all.

A cheetah. A cheetah.

BUSTER: Wow, that was quick. You guys are good at this.

MARIO: Have you guys figured out where it is on the map?

Yes. It's right here.

Let's go!

It's over here!

Look, the sign!

Hurry up!

That's the mom. That's the clue.

Oh, look, look at the cubs.

Buster, look!

That's the mommy, right there!

BUSTER: Looks like she's got a lot of kids.

Yeah.

BUSTER: Hey, she's coming this way. Nice kitty.

Hey, guys, maybe it's time to look for your next clue.

Where could it be?

Ooh, I found it!

Right there! Right there!

What could it be?

BUSTER: Ooh. Ha! I knew this one would be tough.

The clue is in a place where it rains quite a bit.

Ooh, the Golden Lion?

That's a good guess, but...

Hippopotamus?

There's a big forest down in South America.

Amazonia! BUSTER: You got it.

Let's go!

There's a sign.

Right there! Come on!

BUSTER: Hey, there's a lot of fish in here for a rain forest.

Ooh, maybe those are piranhas.

You might have hid this one too well, Buster.

This one is hard, Buster.

BUSTER: I know! I even forget where it is.

Found it!

It says...

(Buster clears throat)

BUSTER: That last rhyme wasn't so good,

but you get the point.

I think I know. Panda.

It's a panda. BUSTER: You got it.

Let's go, y'all!

It's right there. Come on.

There he is! There he is!

Where? I don't see him.

BUSTER: Neither do I.

He's right in the tree.

Oh, I see.

BUSTER: Could you point him out to me?

He's in that tree, up...

Oh, yeah! You see him?

That guy's kind of hard to miss.

KEITH: Hey, I found something!

BUSTER: Congratulations!

You've won the Buster Baxter day-after-Easter egg hunt.

And those are your medals.

KIDS: Buster, this was the best.

It was so amazing.

BUSTER: Thanks. It was really fun to make.

This one goes to you, Buster.

For me? Thanks!

So did you guys really like my hunt?

Yes, Buster. Thanks.

Thanks, Buster.

Thanks, Buster.

So are you happy with the way the hunt turned out?

They seemed to really love it.

Yeah, it was great.

But I still missed going to Muffy's party.

I wonder who found Big Bertha this year?

Hmm, I wonder...

MUFFY: No one.

Muffy? How did you get here?

You're not the only one with a private jet.

Here. Since no one else could find it this year,

I decided to bring it to the reigning champ.

Bailey?

BUSTER: Wow!

But you have to promise to attend next year's hunt.

Ooh. I promise.

In fact, I'll even help you organize it.

Have you ever thought of using riddles?

Riddles, huh? Hmm... I like it.
