STAR: "Carlos Rocks Ballet"

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

CHELSEA: Did you see me, Nina?

When I leap I really...

Blast off!

NINA: Yeah, Chelsea.

We're getting so good!

NINA: Tonight's our ballet recital.

Our dance is called,

The Three Twirly Tops.

And we're gonna leap and spin better than ever!

[ DOOR OPENS ]

CARLOS: Did you see...

the roundhouse kick I did in karate class, Eddie?

[grunt in effort]

EDDIE: Yeah, it was cool.

CARLOS: Hey, Nina, Chelsea!

Good luck tonight!

NINA: iGracias, Carlos! CHELSEA: Thanks!

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: Girls, I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Mia is sick and well... she... uh...

NINA: ...she isn't coming?!

CHELSEA: But we're the Three Twirly Tops, Mrs. L.

NINA: You know, we've never tried it with just two dancers.

Maybe it'll work.

CHELSEA: Yeeeeah, I gueeeess.

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: That's a great idea, Nina.

NINA: C'mon, Chelsea. We can do it.

Ready?

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

CHELSEA: Whoops, Mia's usually between us.

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: It's okay, girls, keep going!

[♪♪♪]

NINA: [gasp]

CHELSEA: Nina!

NINA: Uuhh, sorry Chelsea,

usually I stop when I see Mia.

CHELSEA: I know...

NINA: This just isn't working.

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: Why don't we take a short break?

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: It's our stage manager.

I'll be right back.

NINA: Maybe we could come up with a new routine?

CHELSEA: Our recital's tonight, Nina.

There's not enough time.

And our dance is already really great.

NINA: But it's only "really great" if there's three of us.

Hmm...

What if we could find another dancer for tonight?

CHELSEA: Who are we gonna get to dance with us by tonight?

CARLOS: Kai‐yah! CHELSEA: [gasp]

CARLOS: Kai‐yah!

NINA: Chelsea, did you see that?

CHELSEA: I sure did.

NINA: If Carlos can do that move, then I bet he can do...

CHELSEA: ...our other ballet moves too.

NINA: Carlos, Carlos...

do you think you could dance with us tonight?

CHELSEA: You could be our third Twirly Top.

CARLOS: Me?

But...

EDDIE: [laughs] Boys don't do ballet!

CARLOS: Yeah, I don't see any other boys in here.

I'd be the only one.

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: Lots of boys and men do ballet.

Some of the most famous ballet dancers in history were men.

NINA: See, Carlos.

CARLOS: Weeeell....

I won't do ballet.

But I'll help you find someone that will.

Deal?

NINA: Deal! CHELSEA: Deal!

EDDIE: [grunts in effort]

NINA: Ready, amigos?

CARLOS: Ready! CHELSEA: Ready!

CHELSEA: Hi, Star! CARLOS: Hey! NINA: Hola.

NINA: Today's mission is...

to find another dancer before tonight's recital.

STAR: Ooh, I know someone...

[MUSIC BOX PLAYING TUNE]

CHELSEA: [laughs] I think we need a real dancer...

to be our third Twirly Top, Star.

STAR: What about Carlos?

He's a great dancer.

And he's real, right?!

CARLOS: Uh, hey, I've got an idea.

Why don't you have tryouts like we do in soccer?

CHELSEA: Bingo bango.

That's a great idea, Carlos.

NINA: We can put up signs and tell all our friends!

Everyone will come out for our auditions.

C'mon! Let's...

KIDS: ...go, go, gooo!

NINA: I put signs up at the bakery...

and Mrs. Goldstein's market.

CARLOS: And I told Hameed and Aiden...

to tell all the girls they know too.

NINA: I hope we find someone.

CARLOS: We will!

CHELSEA: Yeah. Everyone's gonna be here...

any minute.

NINA: ...Aaaany minute.

NINA: [sigh]

NINA: Ooh, hi, Polly.

Uh, want to audition for our dance?

CHELSEA: Ready? Here we go.

One, 2, 3...

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[♪♪♪]

KIDS: [laugh]

CARLOS: Sorry we haven't found someone yet.

I just don't get it.

All they've gotta do is this...

CARLOS: And this..

NINA: [gasp] CHELSEA: [gasp]

CHELSEA: Carlos, you have to be our third dancer.

NINA: Pleaaaassseee.

CARLOS: No, we just need to find someone else.

CHELSEA: There isn't anyone else.

NINA: And the recital's tonight!

NINA: ¿Por favor? CHELSEA: Pleeeease!

CARLOS: Okay.

I'll give it a try!

CHELSEA / NINA: [cheer]

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: We don't have much time before the recital.

NINA: That's okay, Mrs. L.

We can show Carlos everything he needs to know.

CHELSEA: Yeah. We'll make sure he's ready.

CARLOS: Uh... I hope so.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

CARLOS: [gasp]

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: Wonderful! Let's take a quick break.

EDDIE: Carlos?

What are you doing up there dancing ballet?

CARLOS: Uh, well, it's kinda fun.

EDDIE: Really?

But you're the only boy in the recital.

EDDIE: And it's ballet!

Ballet, ballet.

Are you sure you want to do it?

CARLOS: Umm, well uh...

EDDIE: We're gonna go practice some karate moves over there.

See ya later, Carlos.

CARLOS: Nina, Chelsea, I'm sorry.

I really wanna help you,

but I still don't think ballet is for me.

NINA: What? CHELSEA: What?

NINA: But you're really good at ballet.

And you were having so much fun.

CARLOS: Yeeeeeah, but...

CHELSEA: But Mrs. L. said lots of boys do ballet.

CARLOS: Eddie doesn't think ballet is for boys.

And I don't think it's for me either.

NINA: It is for you, Carlos.

We just have to find a way to prove it to you.

I know!

We have to use our imagination.

Star!?

STAR: Shine on!

KIDS: ♪ Let's explore, see what we'll find! ♪

STAR: ♪ Let our imagination shine! ♪

NINA: Whoa, we're in Giggly Gulch.

Howdy Sheriff Saddlehorn.

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: Howdy, pard'ners.

Are ya'll here fer the job?

CARLOS: What job?

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: I'm‐a goin' on vacation,

so I need to find a strong dog...

who can keep the armadillo bandit...

from stealing these donuts while I'm gone.

CHELSEA: [gasp]

CHELSEA: Hey, I think someone's coming.

CARLOS: Looks like you've found your new sheriff.

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: Finally!

I bet it's the biggest strongest dog around.

CAT: [meow]

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: Aw, tarnation.

It's just an itty bitty kitty cat.

CAT: [meow]

NINA: So? He can be a sheriff too.

You're here for the sheriff job, right?

CAT: [meow]

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: No offense,

but stopping the armadillo bandit...

is for the dogs. Not the cats.

CAT: [meow]

ALL: [gasp]

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: Oh, And there he is now!

ARMADILLO BANDIT: [gasp]

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: I'll show ya'll why this is dogs' work.

Watch and learn, kitty cat.

Watch and learn.

Stop!

In the name of the... Whoa!

NINA: Save the donuts!

ARMADILLO BANDIT: [laughs]

[grunts in effort]

[scream]

CARLOS: He caught him!

Looks like this kitty cat would make a great sheriff.

SHERIFF SADDLEHORN: Thank you kindly for your help.

I was plum wrong.

Being a sheriff is for the dogs and the cats.

CAT: [meow]

CARLOS: Yeah!

CARLOS: There's no such thing as a cat job, or a dog job.

They both can get the job done.

Star, I think I know what to do about the ballet recital!

STAR: Put on yer dancin' shoes 'cause next stop... the ballet!

CARLOS: C'mon, we've got a recital to get ready for.

NINA: Really, Carlos?! CHELSEA: Really, Carlos?!

CHELSEA: You'll still be the only boy at the recital.

CARLOS: Yeah, but...

it doesn't matter if you're a boy or a girl.

I'm a Twirly Top now, so watch me twirl.

Shim‐sha‐dooby‐doooooo!

KIDS: [laugh]

CARLOS: You guys should stay for the ballet recital,

cause if you do, you're gonna see some super‐cool moves.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

CROWD: [cheer]

CROWD: [cheer]

EDDIE: Great job Carlos!

EDDIE: Whoa that was amazing, guys!

Yo dude, your kicks were awesome!

Too bad you can't kick like that in karate.

You'd be a black belt by now.

CARLOS: [laugh] EDDIE: [laugh]

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: Bravo everyone!

I'm a black belt, you know.

EDDIE: Really?

NINA: You are?

MRS. LEIFKOWITZ: I am.

I love karate almost as much as I love ballet.

They both require discipline, balance,

strength, and grace!

And with lots of practice,

I learned to do my favorite move...

kai‐yah!

KIDS: Whoa!

CARLOS: Thanks for making me your third Twirly Top today.

It was twirl‐a‐rific!

KIDS: [giggles]

NINA: Carlos was really good at ballet today,

and you know what?

I think I might stick with karate...

until I get my black belt!

Kai‐yah!!

[giggle]

STAR: "Nina in the Middle"

NINA: ¿Dónde está?

I thought I saw it a minute ago.

Ha! Found it!

SANTI: Yay!

NINA: It's Mami's turn to host Santi's playgroup today,

so we're gonna do a play for all of his amigos!

SANTI: [giggles] Play! Play! Play!

NINA: That's right, hermanito.

And I have the perfect story.

Goldilocks and the three...

SANTI: Bears! Grrr.

NINA: [giggles] Yup.

I just know your friends will think it's grrreat!

MAMI: So Nina...

are you sure you have enough time to make up...

a whole play before Santi's friends get here?

NINA: We're sure, Mami.

Because we have the best helpers ever, the Star Amigos.

iHasta Luego!

SANTI: [giggle]

NINA: Ready?

CARLOS: Ready. CHELSEA: Ready.

KIDS: ♪ Sparkle, sparkle, twinkle, shine, ♪

♪ Star is here and ready to go! ♪

CHELSEA: Hi, Star! CARLOS: Hey! NINA: Hola.

STAR: Thaaaaank you, thaaaank you.

NINA: Star, you're supposed to take your bow after the play.

CARLOS: Arrr!

Let's make it a pirate play, mateys.

[SQUEAKY TOY SOUND]

NINA: [giggle] CHELSEA: [giggle]

CHELSEA: Or how about...

a play about three space aliens on a mission to Mars!

STAR: Ooh. Can I be the star?

I've been practicing my whole life.

NINA: Good ideas, but Santi wants to make the play out of

his favorite story:

Goldilocks and the Three Bears!

CARLOS: Okay. CHELSEA: Sure! STAR: Shine on!

NINA: We can practice in the courtyard.

Star Amigos, go, go...

ALL: Go!!!!

CHELSEA: First we need to pick parts.

I'll be Goldilocks.

Nina, you can be Mama bear.

Carlos, you be Papa bear, and Santi can be...

the cutest baby bear ever.

SANTI: [giggle]

NINA: Sounds good to me.

CARLOS: Hey, how come you get to be in charge?

CHELSEA: Because I'm the director.

CARLOS: Maybe I wanna be the director.

CHELSEA: I know all about plays.

My Dad takes me to plays every summer.

One time, I even sat in the front row.

NINA: Front row? STAR: Oooh.

CHELSEA: Yeah.

So, in our play, Goldilocks is an astronaut...

and she rockets to the Three Bears' planet.

We'll call it, [gasp]...

"Goldirockets and the Three Space Bears!"

NINA: I love it!

CARLOS: Hold on.

What about my pirate idea?

The Three Bears find Goldilocks hiding in their pirate ship,

and then they make her...

Walk the plank. Arrr!

CHELSEA: [gasp]

NINA: Ooh. That sounds good too.

CHELSEA: Pirates are too scary, Carlos.

Little kids like aliens better.

Right, Nina?

NINA: Well, some kids like pirates...

CARLOS: Mhm.

NINA: But some like space more.

And Chelsea knows about plays, so...

CARLOS: [sigh] Fine.

We'll listen to Chelsea.

But I don't have to like it.

CHELSEA: If you don't like it,

then I don't have to talk to you.

CARLOS: Fine. CHELSEA: Fine.

STAR: Uh, Nina?

How are we supposed to do a play...

when no one's talking to each other?

NINA: I don't know, Star.

But at least they stopped fighting.

CHELSEA: Hmph.

CHELSEA: Okay!

CARLOS: Someone's been eating my spacey flakes.

NINA: Someone's been eating my spacey flakes.

SANTI: Spacey flakes...

all gone!

CHELSEA: Cut.

Nina, Santi, you were great.

But can you tell Carlos to act more outerspace‐y.

NINA: Uh... Carlos?

Chelsea says...

CARLOS: Nina, can you tell Chelsea...

that I know what I'm doing.

NINA: Oh, okay. Chelsea? Carlos says...

CHELSEA: [groan] Let's just practice the next scene.

CARLOS: Someone's been sitting in my boooring space chair.

CHELSEA: That's not the line!

Nina, can you tell Carlos that he's gonna ruin the play...

if he doesn't do what the director says.

NINA: I dunno if I should...

CARLOS: Well, you can tell Chelsea...

that she already ruined the play...

by making it about aliens instead of pirates!

NINA: Guys, please. Can't you...

CHELSEA: Nina tell Carlos... CARLOS: Nina tell Chelsea...

SANTI: No! [crying]

NINA: iSanti, espera!

NINA: It's okay, Santi.

Carlos and Chelsea didn't mean it.

CARLOS: Sorry, Santi. Maybe this play wasn't a good idea.

CHELSEA: We should stop, before we make...

Santi's whole playgroup cry.

NINA: Maybe we just need a snack break.

CARLOS: No thanks. CHELSEA: Not hungry.

NINA: [groan]

NINA: Carlos and Chelsea haven't fought like this...

since forever.

What if they won't do the play?

STAR: We could always do...

STAR: ...The Nina and Star Balloon Animal Show!

[blow]

Ta da!

Oops.

NINA: Thanks Star, but I promised Santi...

we'd do the Three Bears story.

He's counting on us.

STAR: We have to find a way to help Carlos and Chelsea make up.

NINA: But how?

[gasp] I know!

We'll use our imagination.

Star?

STAR: Shine on!

NINA: ♪ Let's explore. See what we find. ♪

STAR: ♪ Let your imagination shine! ♪

STAR: Oooh, whoever lives here sure is good at making porridge.

Yummy.

NINA: Hmm. Three bowls.

Three chairs.

Star! This must be the home of the Three Bears!

STAR: And this one tastes juuuust right!

NINA: Stop! Don't eat that, Star!

STAR: Sorry, Nina. Hmm...

[yawns]

Maybe I'll just take a nap in one of these comfty beds.

STAR: [gasp] This little one looks super cozy.

Ahhh.

NINA: Star! Remember the story?

Goldilocks falls asleep in Baby Bears' bed and that's when...

BABY: Hey, somebody spilled my porridge!

NINA: The Three Bears come home!

Quick, Star! Hide!

NINA: Uh Oh.

Whoa! Oof.

BABY: Somebody's been sleeping in my bed!

And they broke it!

PAPA BEAR: [growl]

STAR: What do we do, Nina?

NINA: Maybe we could try...

talking to them?

STAR: But, they're b‐b‐bears!

NINA: Uh... Hi Bears. I'm Nina.

BABY: [gasp] It's a girl!

STAR: And a Star.

Don't eat me. Please?

NINA: We didn't mean to spill your porridge,

or break your bed.

We were just trying to help our friends and...

we're really sorry.

PAPA BEAR: [whisper murmur]

BABY: Thanks for talking to us.

Goldilocks didn't even say 'hello' before she ran away.

[gasp] Want to stay for dinner?

STAR: Mmm, that porridge sure is yummy.

NINA: We'd love to but, we have to get home.

Star, I think I know how to help Carlos and Chelsea make up.

STAR: Then, home we roam!

STAR: Wow, Nina.

You were so brave.

NINA: Not really.

I just remembered that the best way to make up...

is to talk about your feelings.

STAR: How can we get Carlos and Chelsea to talk...

if they won't even look at each other?

NINA: Leave it to me, Star.

I have a plan.

CARLOS: Not now, boy.

[ BELL SOUNDS ]

CHELSEA: [gasp] The Star Amigos bell!

CARLOS: Gotta go!

CHELSEA: What's the bell for, Nina?

CARLOS: What's up?

NINA: Come in, Carlos. I've got something to show you.

CHELSEA: Forget it, Nina.

He'll never do what you ask him to.

CARLOS: Don't let her boss you around, Nina.

NINA: Guys! You have to start talking to each other.

And I have a way to help.

Star?

STAR: Ta da!

Nina and I wrote a new scene for the play.

NINA: And you're gonna love it.

NINA: Okay Carlos,

you're Papa Bear and Chelsea,

you're Goldilocks.

Papa, you found Goldilocks jumping on your bed and...

go.

CARLOS: Hey! Little Girl.

Stop jumping on the bed.

CHELSEA: Aw, how come?

CARLOS: Because I'm the Papa Bear and this is my house.

You have to do what I say.

CHELSEA: You know, it's no fun being bossed around.

CARLOS: You could say that again.

NINA: It's working.

Keep going, guys!

You're doing great!

CARLOS: Well, when you don't listen to me,

it hurts my feelings.

CHELSEA: Yeah.

When you don't listen, it hurts my feelings.

CARLOS: Well, it's no fun being bossed around all the time.

CHELSEA: Well, it feels like you don't think I'm a good director.

CARLOS: You're an awesome director.

But... I have some fun ideas too.

CHELSEA: I know. Your ideas are always good, Carlos.

[sigh] I just wanted you to like my idea this time.

CARLOS: Why didn't you say so?

NINA: Because you two stopped talking to each other!

CARLOS: Oh yeah.

Sorry, Chelsea.

You can be the director.

I kinda like your Goldirockets idea anyway.

CHELSEA: I'm sorry too.

And I'll listen to your ideas from now on, I promise.

STAR: Hugs?

NINA: Awww. STAR: Awww.

MAMI: Nina! The playgroup is here!

NINA: Okay, Mami!

C'mon guys! We have a play to put on!

NINA: Yeah! CARLOS: Woohoo! CHELSEA: Alright!

CARLOS: ...and thanks for telling us...

how you feel, Goldirockets.

Most earthlings are too scared to talk to us.

CHELSEA: I'm so happy we talked it out, Papa Space Bear.

Now we can be friends.

NINA: You're welcome to stay on our planet...

for as long as you like.

CHELSEA: Thanks Mama Space Bear, I'd better get back to earth.

My friend is waiting to play Pirates with me.

CARLOS: Did you say...

Pirates?

SANTI: Arrr. Arr. Arrrrr.

KIDS: Ahhhh!

ALL: [giggles]

NINA: You know, some days, even best friends argue.

But talking it out always makes for a happy ending.
