ALMA: "“The Beach Blahs"”
[♪♪♪]
ALMA: André's coming over, and then we're going to the beach!
ANDREÉ: [in high-pitched voice] Hi, Alma! Ready to swim with me?
ALMA: [giggles]
Totally!
But I guess André's not coming?
Aww... Too bad. He loves the beach.
ANDREÉ: Oh, I'm coming!
BETO: i¡Qué padre!
BETO: Hey! Nice board!
ANDREÉ: Thanks! I call him Mr. Fins. And I'm André.
ALMA: This is Beto. He just moved here from San Diego.
ANDREÉ: Whoa! That's super far away!
BETO: Yup. So whatcha doing with Mr. Fins today?
ALMA: We're going to the beach!
BETO: Seriously?! I used to go to the beach all the time in San Diego!
It looked like this. Super tall palm trees,
and super soft sand!
ANDREÉ: Whooaa! Mr. Fins would love that.
BETO: [chuckles] But my favorite was the lady who sold elotes on the beach!
ANDREÉ: What are elotes?
BETO: Corn on the cob.
ANDREÉ: Mmm! My favorite!
ALMA: Corn?! I love corn!
BETO: Then you'd love elotes.
They're roasted. And you add lime, mayo, queso fresco,
and sprinkle on some chile powder... Mmmm, so good.
ALMA: Okay. I just ate breakfast,
but I could eat one of those right now!
BETO: I miss my elotes and my beach.
ANDREÉ: Hmm, maybe you wouldn't miss your beach so much
if you went to ours?
ALMA: Yeah! You could swim all day,
build sandcastles...
ANDREÉ: And eat hot dogs!
BETO: [gasp] Like real New York City hotdogs?
ALMA: Uh-huh.
ANDREÉ: Yep, the real deal!
Hey, do you want to come with us?
I can ask my parents to ask yours.
BETO: YEAH!!
[sing-song] Going to the beach! i¡Vamos a la playa!
ALMA/ANDREÉ/BETO: [sing-song] Yeah! Going to the beach!
i¡Vamos a la playa! [giggles]
[subway train rumbling] [♪♪♪]
BETO: You know, when we moved here,
I didn't think I'd get to go to the beach ever again!
I didn't even know New York had a beach!
[Goat bleats]
ALMA/ANDREÉ/BETO: [gasp]
[Goat bleats]
EVERYONE: [laughs]
ANDREÉ: New York has a.. lot of things.
JAMES: Oh yeah, and we'll give you the full Bronx Beach experience,
which means sun...
sand... and...
[Goat bleats]
NEA: Goats!
EVERYONE: [laughs]
ALMA : You're gonna have a sa-weet time.
BETO: I'm already having a great time!
I've never taken a train to the beach before!
In San Diego, we drove everywhere.
ALMA: Here, you can pretty much go everywhere on the subway and buses.
ANDREÉ: And everyone rides them!
[Goat bleats]
ALMA: Welcome to our Bronx beach!
[seagulls squawks]
[kids laughing]
BETO: Uh... Is that the end of the beach?
ANDREÉ: Yeah, you can see the whole beach from here.
BETO: It's kinda small. I guess that's cool.
At least we're at the beach.
BETO: [sing-song] We're at the beach! i¡Estamos en la playa!
ANDREÉ/ALMA: [sing-song] i¡La playa! Yeah yeah! i¡La playa!
ALMA: Woo, Woo!
ANDREÉ: Oh! C'mon! KIDS: [laughs]
BETO: Oh! i¡Qué padre!
I found treasure!
ALMA: Ooh! ANDREÉ: Whoa, sea glass!
ALMA: Huh?
BETO: It's regular glass that the ocean made super smooth.
But I've never seen one like this!
NEA: Beto,
I think you also found our beach spot.
Thank you!
ALMA: Told ya this beach was gonna be sa-weet.
BETO: [chuckles] Sí, pero...
where are the palm trees?
ANDREÉ: Ah...
I don't think I've ever seen palm trees here before...
BETO: Can we take a look? Just in case?
ANDREÉ: Can we, Mom?
NEA: Sure, but stay where I can see you.
ALMA: Mm-hmm. Let's go!
ANDREÉ: [grunts]
ANDREÉ: Hey! I found trees!
BETO: [gasp] Where?! Where?!
ANDREÉ: Over there!
But... they're not palm trees.
Just Bronx trees.
BETO: Oh...
bummer.
ALMA: Hey, look, I found one!
ANDREÉ: That umbrella is the only thing around here that looks like a palm tree.
BETO: Hm..
ALMA: Guess our beach doesn't have any palm trees,
but we do have a...
SQUID GUY!
SQUID GUY: Squiddle-doo! Squiddle-dee!
It's Ceviche Sunday! All you can eat!
BETO: Oh! [chuckles] I've never seen that before.
JAMES: Hey, kids! Who wants snacks?
ANDREÉ: Coming, Dad!
BETO: Uhm.. Do you think an elote lady will be around too?
ANDREÉ: I hope so. I really want to try one!
ALMA: I dunno if this beach has an elote lady.
But..
[seagulls squawks]
we've got a bunch of seagulls
who love bagels!
[seagulls squawks]
ALMA: [giggling]
That's how you know it's a New York City seagull.
Our seagulls love bagels!
JAMES: Mmmm..
BETO: Back in San Diego,
I used to watch the sun set over the water.
ANDREÉ: Nice! Can we watch the sunset later?
NEA: Sorry, kiddos.
The sun doesn't set over the water on this beach.
We're facing East. And sounds like Beto's beach faces West,
where the sun sets.
ANDREÉ/ALMA/BETO: Awww.
BETO: I wish I could see the sun set on my beach again.
Or see the surfers on the waves.
We have tons of surfers in San Diego.
ANDREÉ: Mr. Fins will surf with you.
ALMA: Can we play in the water, please?
JAMES: Absolutely. ANDREÉ: Yes!
JAMES: We'll watch you from here.
NEA: Just stick to the shallow part.
ALMA: YES! ANDREÉ: Wooo!
JAMES/NEA: [laughs] NEA: [kisses James]
ALMA: Woo-hoo! [giggles] ANDREÉ: Woo! [giggles]
[water splashing]
ALMA: Come in the water, Beto!
[seagulls squawks] [splashing]
ALMA: [giggling]
[water drip]
BETO: [shivers] That water's freezing!
[sigh] I'm going back.
ALMA: Do you think the water's cold?
ANDREÉ: Not any colder than it normally is.
[splashing]
ANDREÉ: Woo! [chuckles]
ALMA: Beto looks bummed.
But we're at the beach!
The BEACH!
I want him to have a good time,
but how can I help him do that?
I gotta think about this.
BETO: [sing-song]: Going to the beach!
i¡Vamos a la playa! Yeah!
ALMA: Beto loves the beach. He really does!
BETO: I wish I could see the sun set on my beach again.
ALMA: Oh,
I think he's sad because he misses
his old beach.
BETO: Oh! i¡Qué padre! I've never seen one like this!
ANDREÉ: Whoa, sea glass!
ALMA: We've got a bunch of seagulls
who love bagels!
SQUID GUY: Squiddle-doo! Squiddle-dee!
It's Ceviche Sunday! All you can eat!
BETO: Oh! [chuckles] I've never seen that before.
ALMA: And I guess our beach IS really different than his...
Oh! I know what to do.
ALMA: I'm gonna talk to Beto. Wanna come?
ANDREÉ: Okay.
[splashing]
ALMA: Oye, Beto...
BETO: ¿Sí?
ALMA: I know your beach in San Diego was pretty great.
You must miss it a lot.
BETO: Yeah...
ALMA: But..
you're gonna love this beach too.
It has a lot of great things!
BETO: Really?
ANDREÉ: Totally. Like, there are basketball courts over there...
[basketball rattles backboard]
ALMA: And lots of sand to play in...
BETO: Yeah..
and the subway ride here was pretty fun.
ALMA: Don't forget about the goat. [bleats]
BETO: And I guess I did find treasure on your beach!
JAMES: Who wants a hot dog?
BETO: Are those real New York City hot dogs?
JAMES: They sure are! Get '‘em while they're hot.
ANDREÉ: Yum! Can't wait! ALMA: Ohh, Yum! BETO: I can't wait!
ALMA: Go ahead, try it, Beto.
ANDREÉ: Yeah, they're my favorite!
BETO: [bites] [chewing] Mmm! So good!
I think you're right it is pretty great here.
ALMA: [bites]
[with mouth full] I know, right?!
NEA: Mm-mm-mm. JAMES: [bites] Mmm.. So good.
BETO: [bites]
Mm. Okay,
I'm ready to give this beach another try.
ANDREÉ: Mr. Fins is down with that!
ANDREÉ: Yeah! Woo! ALMA: Woohoo! BETO: Woo!
BETO: Whoa!
He looks like a sword!
[hip-hop music]
BETO: [sing-song] Dancing on the beach! i¡Bailamos en la playa! Yes!
ANDREÉ/ALMA/SQUID GUY: [sing-song] La playa! Yeah, yeah! La playa!
ALMA: Woo! Woo!
ALMA/ANDREÉ/BETO: [giggling] [water splashes]
BETO: The water's really not that cold.
It's kinda the same as my beach.
ALMA: Well, this is your beach now, too.
BETO: Hey, you're right, it is!
[splashes water] ALMA: [squeals] Ahh!
You can't splash me over here! [giggles]
ELOTE WOMAN: i¡Elotes!
BETO: Wait, do you hear that?
ELOTE WOMAN: i¡Tengo elotes! Elotes for sale!
BETO: [gasp] An Elote Lady!
ALMA: Elotes? Here?!
ANDREÉ: No way!
ELOTE WOMAN: i¡Tengo elotes! Elotes for sale!
BETO: That's not the elote lady from my old beach,
but she IS the elote lady from my new beach.
JAMES: Who wants elotes?
ALMA: I do! ANDREÉ: Me! BETO: Yessss!
JAMES: Then let's go!
JAMES: You know, I had my first elote on a beach in Mexico.
BETO: Me too!
ELOTE WOMAN: Here you go! i¡Gracias!
JAMES: One for you,
one for you,
and one for you!
ANDREÉ: [bites] Mmm!
Are these like the elotes on your old beach, Beto?
BETO: Even better!
BETO: [sing-song] i¡Estamos en la playa! Mm! Eating our elotes! Mm!
ANDREÉ/ALMA: [sing -song] i¡Elotes! Yeah yeah! i¡Elotes! Yeah yeah! i¡Elotes!
KIDS: [giggles]
ALMA: I love corn... just as much as I love our beach.
ANDREÉ/BETO: [humming same rhythm] [bites]
ALMA: And I'm way way wayyy happy Beto loves it too!
[bites] Mmm...

I LOVE the beach!

ALMA: i¡Mami! iPapi! Come set up by us!
MAMI: Uh-huh, we're good here, Almita.
We don't want our towels to get all wet when the tide comes in.
ALMA: Whaddya think, Junior? Wanna move over there?
JUNIOR: Nah. I need water to make a good sandcastle,
so I'm gonna stay here.
Wanna help me build my sandcastle?
ALMA: Yes-yes-yes-yes-yesss!

You can't just start digging like that!
We gotta follow the plan.

It's okay, Mr. Squid Guy. I got this.
SQUID GUY: Sorry about that! Squiddlley-day!
Have fun!
[stomach growl]
ALMA: I can fix your castle while you have a snack.
JUNIOR: But what if something happens to it while I'm gone?
ALMA: Never fear, King Junior!
I shall guard your royal castle.
JUNIOR: [chuckles] Thanks, Alma!
Oh, wait... Kneel, please.
JUNIOR: I hereby declare you Alma the Great.
Royal protector of the royal sandcastle.
ALMA: [in fancy voice] I won't let you down, your majesty!
[bike bell]
ALMA: One tower, good as new.
ALMA: [in fancy voice] [gasp] Something cometh toward the castle!
Hark! Who goes there?
ALMA: [in normal voice] Oh. It's just a seagull.
[seagull squawk]
ALMA: [in fancy voice] Wait. I mean, it's a fierce dragon!
ALMA: [in fancy voice] Stay back, beach dragon!
Thou shall not destroy King Junior's-
[seagull squawks fade away]
ALMA: [in fancy voice] Alma the Great at your service.
ALMA: [chanting] Guarding the castle.
Guarding the castle.

JUNIOR: Yes!
ALMA/JUNIOR: [in fancy voices] Guarding the castle.
Guarding the castle.
MAMI: [in fancy voice] The royal photographer is here to take pictures!
[camera clicks]
MAMI: [giggles]
ALMA: [in fancy voice] King Junior, look out!
A giant spider.
JUNIOR: [chuckling] Woah! Woahh!!
Wee! Ohhh-
I got it!
MAMI: [in fancy voice] Dámela. I'll bring the spider to the trash,
er, dungeon... right away!
[water lapping]
ALMA: [in fancy voice] Hark! Who goes there?
[water lapping]
ALMA: [in normal voice] Oh, it's the ocean.
ALMA: [in fancy voice] That's right, water!
Getteth back from where you came!
ALMA: [in fancy voice] No one dare disturb King Junior's-
[in normal voice] Uh oh.
ALMA: Junior! The water's coming!
Protect the castle! We need a moat!
JUNIOR: Start digging! Dig! Dig, Alma!
ALMA: [squeals]
JUNIOR: [effort] [quick breathing]
[gasp]
JUNIOR: I command you to stay back!
ALMA: [in fancy voice] Ha, huzzah! The kingdom is saved!
ALMA: [in normal voice] Or.. maybe not.
JUNIOR: We need another plan!
ALMA: Quick, grab the toys, Junior!

ALMA: [gasp] C'mon, C'mon, C'mon
ALMA: Ah! JUNIOR: Oh no!

ALMA: Gotcha! Ah!
[water flowing]
JUNIOR: [grunts] Got it! [grunts]
[water flowing]
ALMA/JUNIOR: [gasp]
JUNIOR: NOOOOOOO!
Hmm..
ALMA: Sorry, Junior.
I don't think there's anything we can do to stop the water.
JUNIOR: We can't save my castle?
[water flowing]
JUNIOR: So it's gone forever?
JUNIOR: But, but, but...
we worked so hard on it!
JUNIOR: Adiós, sandcastle.
ALMA: See ya later.
ALMA: Wanna play something else?
JUNIOR: No, thanks.
[seagulls squawking]
ALMA: Whoa, Junior's really upset.
How can I cheer him up?
I gotta think about this...
JUNIOR: Swimming?! I can't think about swimming.
There's so much sandcastle left to build!
ALMA: Junior worked so hard on his sandcastle
and he loved building it.
ALMA: He really cared about every piece of that castle.
[camera clicks]
ALMA: Huh, Mami took so many pictures while Junior was building it.
ALMA: Oh, I know what to do!
MAMI: [kisses Junior]
ALMA: How ya doing, Junior?
JUNIOR: I'm sad about my sandcastle.
It was the best one I've ever made.
[sigh] And I'm never gonna see it again.
ALMA: Well... not never.
JUNIOR: Really? But it's gone.
ALMA: No, it's not! Mami has it.
JUNIOR: Huh?
ALMA: Mami, can we see the pictures you took of the sandcastle?
MAMI: Sure!
JUNIOR: Aww, look at how little it was back then.
ALMA: [in fancy voice] King Junior
you were very brave to face that giant spider.
JUNIOR: Yeah, I was right?
ALMA: You know what's a not-so-bad thing
about having your sandcastle wash away?
JUNIOR: What?
ALMA: We get to make another one!
JUNIOR: Oh, yeah! I still miss my other sandcastle but,
this new one is gonna be super duper ginormous!
With two... no three, drawbridges!
ALMA: How about right...
here?
MAMI: You know, in a little while the water's gonna wash up there too.
JUNIOR: That's okay.
Just make sure you take lots of pictures.
So I can remember it forever!
PAPI: i¡Espérenme! I want to help. Whoa..
MAMI: [chuckles] i¡Si! Me too!
ALMA: Here we go again!

you're gonna love this beach too.
It has a lot of great things!
BETO: Really?
ANDREÉ: Totally. Like, there are basketball courts over there...

BETO: Yeah..
and the subway ride here was pretty fun.
ALMA: Don't forget about the goat. [bleats]
BETO: And I guess I did find treasure on your beach!

[seagulls squawking]
ALMA: Whoa, Junior's really upset.
How can I cheer him up?
I gotta think about this...
JUNIOR: Swimming?! I can't think about swimming.
There's so much sandcastle left to build!
ALMA: Junior worked so hard on his sandcastle
and he loved building it.
ALMA: He really cared about every piece of that castle.
[camera clicks]
ALMA: Huh, Mami took so many pictures while Junior was building it.
ALMA: Oh, I know what to do!
MAMI: [kisses Junior]
ALMA: How ya doing, Junior?
JUNIOR: I'm sad about my sandcastle.
It was the best one I've ever made.
[sigh] And I'm never gonna see it again.
ALMA: Well... not never.
JUNIOR: Really? But it's gone.
ALMA: No, it's not! Mami has it.
JUNIOR: Huh?
ALMA: Mami, can we see the pictures you took of the sandcastle?
MAMI: Sure!
JUNIOR: Aww, look at how little it was back then.
ALMA: [in fancy voice] King Junior
you were very brave to face that giant spider.
JUNIOR: Yeah, I was right?
ALMA: You know what's a not-so-bad thing
about having your sandcastle wash away?
JUNIOR: What?
ALMA: We get to make another one!
JUNIOR: Oh, yeah! I still miss my other sandcastle but,
this new one is gonna be super duper ginormous!
With two... no three, drawbridges!
ALMA: How about right...
here?
MAMI: You know, in a little while the water's gonna wash up there too.
JUNIOR: That's okay.
Just make sure you take lots of pictures.
So I can remember it forever!
PAPI: i¡Espérenme! I want to help. Whoa..
