Script
[In the living room, with the exception of Frida, everyone else is doing something: Ronnie Anne is on the laptop, Carlos is reading a book, Rosa is making food and Hector is drinking coffee. Sergio appears with a letter.]
[Squawks] Sergio: "Special delivery!"
Carlos: "Ooh, is it from my pen pal in Kyoto? It's been a while since he's said konnichiwa. No, it's the water and power bill.
[Give the letter to Hector, who gasps, and falls out of his chair. Ronnie Anne notes.]
Hector: "This isn't a bill! This is highway robbery!"
Rosa: "Well, it is the bill for both apartments and the mercado, things can add up." [Looks at the bill, and gasps, too] "Ah! My! That is high."
Hector: "It was already high last month, now it's practically doubled, like my heart rate." [Hector puts his hand over his chest, and Rosa moved it over to where his heart actually is, they give each other blank looks. Frida and Carlos looks at the bill and gasp, too] "If the bill continues to be this high, I'm afraid we're gonna have to make some cut-backs, maybe, we should consider cancelling our anniversary trip,Rosita."
Rosa: "Maybe so, Amor, we can go again next year."
[She subtly hugs him, Ronnie Anne starts to look concerned]
Hector: "It's a shame though, we've never missed our trip in forty years."
Ronnie Anne: "Wait, what trip?"
Hector: "It's a tradition we started, when we first moves to Great Lakes City."
[Takes a photo of himself & Rosa out of his wallet from their first trip and shows it to Ronnie Anne]
Rosa: "We wanted our first night out to be special, and Abuelo knew how much I loved dancing, so he found us the perfect place."
[Flashback to that night]
Hector: "We we're the king and queen of the dance floor, Ronnie Anne. Ah; you should have seen us."
Rosa: "And every year since, we've gone dancing at the same ballroom, and stayed at a fancy hotel."
[End flashback]
Ronnie Anne: "That is the mushiest, but sweetest thing I've ever heard, you can't give up on your tradition."
Hector: "But mija, with this bill."
Ronnie Anne: "Don't worry, I'm sure I can find a way to bring it down."
[Later, Ronnie Anne is in her brother's room along with him and their mom]
Ronnie Anne: "Okay, so the reason I called you here-"
[She starts to close the door, but Sergio barges in]
Sergio: [Squawks] "Hi, roomie."
Bobby: [shoves Sergio out of his face] "Ah! Stop! Why is this parrot so obsessed with me?" [Sends Sergio out] "He won't leave me alone." [whispers] "It's even worse at night."
Sergio: [Squawks] "Smell ya later, roomie!"
Ronnie Anne: "Forget about Sergio, we've got a bigger problem, Abuela and Abuelo might have to cancel their anniversary trip."
Bobby & Maria: [Shocked] "What?"
Ronnie Anne: [Pulls out the bill] "The water and power bill is too high and it started going up when we moved in."
Bobby: "Do we really use that much?"
Ronnie Anne: "Well, Bobby," [Flashback to Bobby video chatting with Lori on multiple devices] "You do love your marathon video chats with Lori." [Later, during their chat, Bobby flexes for Lori, and even later, they both have avacado masks on. Flashback changes to Maria, looking groggy, and using a giant espresso machine] "And Mom, you use a giant espesso machine five times a day."
[Flashback ends]
Maria: "But I need energy for my night shifts."
Ronnie Anne: "I'm just as guilty." Flashback to her in her room using a cooling fan, her video game console, a popcorn machine, and taking a juice box out of her mini fridge] "I've been using way too many gadgets in my room."
[Flashback ends]
Maria: "I didn't realize it was that bad."
Ronnie Anne: "We have to cut back, and I've got some ideas how we can do it."
[Maria comes home from work, tired, slumps down on the couch and sighs, she pulls a foot massager out from under the couch and kicks off her shoes]
Maria: [Seeing Ronnie Anne with a box] "Hey, sweetie, whatcha up to?"
Ronnie Anne: "Putting my stuff in storage, everything that uses electricity has to go."
Sergio: [Squawks] "Fight the power!"
Ronnie Anne: [Stealing the foot massager] "Sorry Mom, but, that should go too."
Maria: "But, my feet are killing me."
Ronnie Anne: [Pulls a tennis ball out of the box] "I read that tennis balls are great for massages." [Tosses it to her mom, which Lalo takes interest in, Maria catches the ball, places it under her foot and rolls it back and forth, but Lalo snatches the ball right out from underneath her and she falls onto the couch] "Lalo! Drop it!" [Ronnie Anne tries to grab Lalo, but he escapes and Ronnie Anne falls flat on her face. she gets up and gets another idea] "I've got a better idea." [runs off and returns with a towel and some lotion] "I'll give you a foot massage."
[Starts the massage, and Maria enjoys it]
Maria: "Ooh hoo, that's nice, maybe cutting back won't be so bad."
[Down in the bodega, Bobby is video chatting with Lori]
Lori: "Boo-Boo Bear, go grab a blender and some fruit, we can make my new protein smoothie together."
Bobby: "I'm sorry, Babe, I can't, we're trying to save electricity."
Lori: "Oof, been there. Well, you can just hang out with me while I make mine."
Bobby: "Actually, Babe, I gotta run. I'm only supposed to talk for five minutes, and the timer's about to go off."
Lori: [Unhappy] "Wait, you literally have me on a tim--"
[The image of the laptop freezes.]
Bobby: [Panicky] "Oh! Oh no, no, no, no, no, oh no, oh no!"
[Ronnie Anne appears]
Ronnie Anne: "I'm sure Lori will get over it. Remember, it's for Abuela and Abuelo's trip."
Bobby: [Looking at the image of Lori's angry face, strokes it] "So beautiful."
[Upstairs, Maria is washing the dishes, trying to use as little water as possible, and sees Ronnie Anne putting her leftovers in the big fridge]
Maria: [Impressed] "Wow, you're getting rid of your mini-fridge too?"
Bobby: "That's dedication. Aren't you worried your food will get swiped?"
Ronnie Anne: "Nah, I put my name on everything, so I should be fine." [Just then, her mom yawns, and is about to use her espresso machine] "Wait, wait, you don't need coffee. I got you this energy gum from the mercado instead."
Maria: "Ooh, papaya, guess I could try it." [Gives it a try]
Ronnie Anne: "And Bobby, I figured out how you could make Lori's protein smoothie without a blender," [takes him to the table] "Abuela's molcajete."
Bobby: "Old school, I love it. I'll start with some bananas."
[Puts some bananas in the bowl and tries to mash them, but ends up splatting them all over his sister]
Ronnie Anne: [Wipes the banana mash off her face] "Maybe try peeling them first.
[Later, Ronnie Anne puts toothpaste on her toothbrush and gets a timer ready on her phone]
Ronnie Anne: "Okay, two minute combination, shower, toothbrushing, and clothes washing; go." [Starts the timer and jumps in the shower. Two minutes later, she opens the curtain, with toothpaste in her hair, and a red eye] "Dang it."
[A week later, the three are in Ronnie Anne's room, Ronnie Anne takes out her laptop, she still has toothpaste in her hair and mouth, Bobby is covered in fruit splatters, and their mom's eyes are bloodshot and she is all jittery]
Ronnie Anne: "Alright guys, ready to see how we did?"
Bobby: "I bet we cut the bill in half."
[They check the bill, but are not pleased by what they see]
Ronnie Anne: "This can't be right, it just keeps going up."
Maria: "Are you kidding me? I've been chewing this gum all week and it's starting to make me crazy." [Starts cackling, and chewing more gum]
Bobby: [Pulls out his phone] "And Lori's furious with me, look at the emojis she texted me; poop, poop, poop, and fire."
Maria: [Throws a handful of gum into her mouth; angrily] "So if it's not us using all the energy, then who is it?! Huh?! You wanna tell me that?! Huh?!"
Ronnie Anne: "That's what we need to find out." [Takes the gum packet] "No more gum."
[Later, Carlota is blowdrying her hair, behind her a plant walks into her room, Maria and Ronnie Anne's faces pop out of it and they whisper to each other]
Maria: "Wow, that's a lot of hair tools."
Ronnie Anne: "How can someone need both a curling iron and a straightener?"
[They leave. In the bathroom, CJ is playing pirates in the bathtub]
CJ: "Walk the plank naughty pirates."
[The plant enters and Bobby & Ronnie Anne's faces pop out]
Bobby: "Ah, man, I can't believe my dude CJ's been wasteful too."
CJ: "Wait, wait." [Turns the warm water on] "More hot water, don't want the sharks to get cold."
[Bobby and Ronnie Anne leave. Later in another room, Maria and Ronnie Anne's faces pop out of the plant again, Ronnie Anne holds out another plant and Bobby's face pops out]
Maria: "I know Frida takes her photo shoots very seriously, but does she really need all that equipment?"
[Frida has dressed Lalo up like a firefighter, with lots of studio lights]
Frida: "Hmm, something's not right Lalo." [Thinks] "I know! More light and wind."
[Rolls in another light, and a giant fan, which blows saliva out of Lalo's mouth, which lands on the Santiagos, much to their disgust]
Ronnie Anne: "I think we found our energy hogs."
[Later, Ronnie Anne is holding another meeting with the rest of the family, minus Abuela and Abuelo]
Ronnie Anne: "As you can see; the water and power bill has gotten way out of control. Abuela and Abuelo need our help."
Carl: "Well, it must be you guys, the bill was fine before you moved in."
Frida: [Angry] "Carl."
Ronnie Anne: "It's okay, we thought it was us too, but we cut back and it didn't make a dent."
Sergio: [Squawks] "Hey roomie, party time!" [Puts a party hat on Bobby]
Bobby: [Annoyed] "Oh, Sergio! Stop!" [Takes the hat off] "Where did you even get this?"
