- Buongiorno. - Buongiorno.

I'd like some parmigiano, per favore.

Bene, how much parmigiano?

Um, of course.

Europe has the mysterious metric system.

Could I have maybe one parmigiano?

Uno?

Un parmigiano.

A whole one?

It's for a very important event.

A huge meal of great significance.

I can charge this to Francesca's account?

She said I could have anything I wanted.

Hah, generous. Un momento.

I cannot believe you're going to be here

to celebrate Coconut Dog Day in Rome!

- In person! - (squealing)

Not on a tiny screen!

I know!

I still expect you to carry me around as if I was, though.

With these pipes? Easy.

In T-minus 12-ish hours I'll be raiding your fridge,

drooling all over your pillow,

and petting your dear sweet dog, Salsacino.

I cannot wait for you to get here.

Starting over's been rough.

It's like you and I have our own secret language,

and nobody at my school speaks it.

I thought they spoke English.

Boo. You know what I mean.

Okay! Gotta jet.

- (squealing) - Literally.

See you soon!

(kissing)

We're already late!

Five hours, Janet.

We will be at the airport five hours before the flight.

- Chill! - Can't. No time.

(grunting) Wow!

What's in this thing?

Just... clothes.

Like what? A suit of armor?

I'm just kidding, sweetheart.

I am so excited for you to see your Lucy!

(chuckling)

Car leaves in six, so bathroom break is now,

'cause I don't do pit stops,

and don't forget to give big hugs to your dad and Kev.

Do I have to hug Kevin?

He's always so sweaty these days.

He really is, but do your best.

(gasping) Coco-coco-coconut. Coconut.

(squealing)

♪ Coconuts, for all kinds of- ♪

Ooh...

Pero...

Quanto formaggio.

Did I spend the equivalent of six front-row

Beyonce tickets on cheese?

Yes. Am I deeply sorry?

Also yes.

It's alright. Maybe we can give some away.

Thanks for being so understanding.

Silver lining?

Now that we have the cheese,

we can celebrate my favorite holiday.

Ah, Thanksgiving!

Nope! Coconut Dog Day!

Your dad told me it was Thanksgiving.

That's a big American holiday, si?

Every year since we were kids,

Kyla and I celebrate Coconut Dog Day instead of Thanksgiving.

It's way better. (sighing)

(both sighing)

Nothing like a refreshing mango banana smoothie.

Except for a banana mango smoothie.

Same thing!

Strongly disagree- (gasping) Dog!

(both gasping, squealing)

Oh, Gus. You're looking good today!

Way to rock that new look!

Sorry, Bandit, but I think it's Gus' year!

- (barking) - (sighing)

Yes, it's all the same ingredients,

but it's different quantitatively.

Quantitatively. What a word.

Quan-ti-tatively.

Quanti- (gasping) Dog!

Marcel! Who's a cute pooch?!

Who's the cutest poochie-woochie-woochie?

(both squealing)

So, you drink out of coconuts,

and judge how cute the neighborhood dogs are?

Mm-hm.

And this is an official holiday in America?

What? No. (laughing) We totally made it up.

- Ah. - But it's heaven.

Everyone loves dogs, and you can't be unhappy

when you're drinking out of a fruit.

That's science.

What's science?

You can't be unhappy when you're drinking out of a fruit.

- Mm-hm. - Yeah, that's science.

I see you've heard about Coconut Dog Day.

Why is it not Thanksgiving?

Eh, there's not a lot to celebrate there.

Dead turkey and the theft of a continent.

Colonization. Exploitation. Not exactly a woo-hoo time.

But there are some Thanksgiving traditions

that I do miss, though.

Full house with both sides of the family.

The food.

Oh, the food.

- (laughing) - Glazed carrots.

Candied yams. Scalloped potatoes.

- What? - Oh, I miss it all.

Especially your mom's...

(clearing throat) Oh, well.

It's not like there's a shortage of food here. Is that cheese?

Why is it so big?

We should keep at least one Thanksgiving tradition alive.

Let's make Mom's famous mac and cheese.

Smack and cheese?

(laughing) Mac.

It's an ambrosia of noodles, cheese, bread crumbs.

Ooh, and a bunch of other stuff.

It's the equivalent of being hugged from the inside.

Mom mad it every year, but...

but this year, I'm going to make it.

That way she'll still kind of be here, you know?

Then we had better get Thanksgiving shopping.

Coconut Dog Day shopping.

Si!

♪

What are those?

Tartufi. Truffle.

They make everything taste better.

- Prendiamoli. - I believe you, but...

...it's vital we replicate my mom's recipe exactly.

Vital.

So, what's in this recipe?

Cheese.

Perfetto.

Pecorino Romano, hm?

Gotta be cheddar.

Rome has cheddar, right?

Let's keep looking.

Okay.

We need spiral noodles.

Fusilli.

This is going to sound, um, bad,

but these are too spirally.

Okay.

Let's keep looking.

And this is made from a loaf of American white bread?

Pane casereccio.

Both: Let's keep looking.

Are you sure this is going to work?

We couldn't find any of the exact ingredients,

and if the ingredients aren't right,

it's not gonna taste right, and if it doesn't taste right,

it's not really Coconut Dog Day-

Lucy, tesoro.

We did our best.

Everything we got will do the same job. Hm?

You're right. It'll be fine.

Just fine.

♪

It's...

...fine.

Not good?

It's close to my mom's recipe,

but something's missing.

What is it?

I don't know, um, like,

a certain flavor. A zing.

Zing?

Yeah, a tang.

Tang?

Like, this mac and cheese is, "Mm,"

but it's not quite, "Mm!"

You know?

I do not.

Maybe this was a silly idea.

Hey. Don't you Americans say

when you fall off the horse, get a new horse? Hm?

We say get back on the horse.

That is less expensive.

But you're right. We're not done here.

Where's your spice cabinet?

That's a duck full of take-out packets.

Before you came I didn't do much cooking.

They have clothes in Italy.

Don't they have coconuts, too?!

Okay, I am not taking that... risk.

I mean, even if they do, what if they're the wrong kind?

There's a wrong kind?!

Janet, please! Just be cool.

I am always cool.

I am a cool customer.

I'm a cool cucumber.

I am a cool, cool swimming pool.

- I am an ice cream- - Be cool!

Okay.

You're the boss, apple sauce.

Are you even allowed to fly with coconuts?!

Okay, Lucy and I have celebrated Coconut Dog Day every year

since I can remember.

The point is nothing in my life feels normal right now,

and I really, really miss my friend.

You know what? Forget I said anything.

We'll be fine.

The coconuts will be fine.

I will take my valerian root now.

Will: Luce, great news.

You know I've been cataloguing all those videos of your mom.

I think I found one where she's making the mac and cheese.

There might be a clue that helps us figure out

the missing ingredient.

Yeah, exactly!

I just have to remember if I put it under food or holidays.

Oh, here it is.

In a folder I've titled Festive Eats

for some reason.

Honey, come here.

Si.

Wait!

Rub the crystal, Janet.

I just have to know.

How thoroughly do they inspect the checked baggage?

She's just embarrassed that people might root

through her under things.

(laughing) That's true,

but also what sort of jail time would someone get

if they smuggled produce?

She means hypothetically.

She's a crime fiction novelist.

But just say that we packed-

Janet! No one is going to find the coconuts!

Wow. Would you look at the time.

Miss, are there coconuts in that bag?

Absolutely not.

Wait, uh, actually I, um-

I don't think you should open-

So, about the coconuts.

Airline worker: Secondary inspection.

Couldn't just rub the crystal, could you?

Will: The only thing we're missing is the recipe,

which has traditionally helped...

Emilia: You know, cheddar cheese.

Yes, do you have any?

Mm, a few.

Let me get you a fresh mixing bowl.

Um...

Oh!

That will work okay.

Doesn't she have a restaurant to run?

Oh, she loves a culinary mystery.

Lucy: Thank you.

Please! These coconuts are important!

My very best friend, Lucy,

moved to Rome when her archeologist dad

fell in love with an Italian pop star,

and I haven't seen her since, but I'm finally going to visit

her on Coconut Dog Day, the most important day of the year!

It's a holiday we made up when we were kids.

We'd sit on the lawn and watch dogs being walked,

and we drank out of coconuts.

So you see why it's so important that-

Customs officer: Hey. I understand.

When I was your age I was in a similar situation

with my best friend, Brian.

Believe it or not we had our own holiday, too.

It was called Weird Sock Day,

where we would just... just wear weird socks.

From polka dot to pinstripe to argyle-

that was my daddy's.

Anything you can dream of, we had it on our feet.

Those were some wild times.

Look, you can still catch your flight

if you ditch these coconuts.

- (sighing) - Okay?

Thank you, officer.

Go have some fun, wear your wildest socks.

Hold on.

Is she okay?

Please tell me you've landed.

I mean, long story long,

we got pulled into secondary screening,

and then Janet took her valerian root too early

and fell asleep,

Traditions are important. You said so yourself.

Sometimes it's the only thing that connects you to a place.

Or a person.

Why are holidays so brutal?

They're rough on me, too.

I think it's because it reminds us that

life is going on without her.

I wish we could get this mac and cheese

right for you, sweetheart. I really do.

Dad, I need to get this right for you.

Mom's mac and cheese was your favorite.

I wanted you to have something to remind you of her.

Especially this year,

when everything seems to keep changing.

Your mom's mac and cheese is the best thing I've ever eaten,
