- Ready to get to know the city?

- Ay, perdon, must have been the hot dogs.
So much great food on one block.
- I told you you'd love it here, dad.
I win, again!
- Dang it!
Well I better get back to the mercado.
I left Vito in charge and he usually snacks on the merch.
- Hey dad, can we talk?
There was something important I wanted to ask.
- Dime mija, I always hoped we'd have moments like this.
Is it about a boy?
Or a girl.
Sorry, you talk.
- Oh, it's nothing like that.
We've been just having such a great time
and I've missed you so much.
I was kind of hoping, and I know this sounds crazy,
just hear me out.
- Oh, Ronnita, I know where this is going,
but your mom and I are better off as friends.
- Ew, dad no!
I'm not talking about you and mom getting back together.
I'm trying to ask you to move back to the city.
If the headquarters is here, can't you work there?
- Oh.
(sighs)
Mi vida, I would love to
I miss you and Bobby everyday but it's not that easy.
My job really does need me in Peru.
I made a commitment to the community there.
(sighs)
Pero mira, maybe I can talk to my boss
about coming back more.
And maybe you and Bobby could visit me.
And instead of talking once a day,
we'll talk twice or three times!
- Okay dad.
Sounds good.
- Come here, give your papa a hug.
- I love you dad.
- I love you too sweetie.
(burps)
- Sorry, you're right about the hot dogs.
- Now that's a Santiago burp.
- How many taquitos did you eat?
- Those were taquitos?
I thought they were spicy cannoli.
- You were right Bobby.
I did everything I could think of and it still wasn't enough
to get him to stay.
- I'm sorry.
Wanna use my sticker gun?
That always cheers me up.
(laughs)
Don't take it personally.
It's not that he doesn't love us.
He just really cares about his patients.
Dad loves helping people.
- Ugh, could he help me?
I've got a mole that needs looking at.
Oh, nevermind.
It's just a pepperoni.
(munches)
Mmm, it's good.
- This isn't fair Sid.
He's always thinking about his patients.
But Bobby and I need him too.
- First we gotta get that ball away from you.
Maybe your dad doesn't think you and Bobby need help.
I'm mean you're both doing great.
You just won the spelling bee
and your hair's never looked healthier.
- Sid, that's it!
I know how to get my dad to stay!
Okay guys, new plan.
We have to convince my dad that I'm failing school
and throwing my life away.
- But you're a total nerd!
- Carl!
He's right, it'll be a tough sell.
- Not really.
The city is full of bad influences.
How hard could it be for a kid to go down the wrong path?
- So you're going to stop studying?
- Psh, no way.
I got a better idea.
I'm just gonna need some of your craft paint.
- Adios honor roll, hola detention.
(laughs maniacally)
(gasps)
- You're really good at this, Carl!
- I've helped Vito with a few parking tickets.
- I'm gonna pretend I didn't hear that.
Now we just have to put it where my dad will see.
Hey Lalo, bring this to my dad.
(chews)
- We're gonna need another test.
- Oh man, you weren't supposed to see that.
Ugh, fine, I might as well show you.
You'll find out anyway.
- A D?
- Minus.
Guess I've just had trouble focusing since you've been gone.
- Really?
Your mother said you just won the spelling bee,
and you're on the honor roll.
- And you believe her?
She's probably just saying that so you wouldn't worry.
- Well I'm not worried
because I'm gonna help you study everyday
for as long as it takes to get your grades back up.
- Really?
As long as it takes?
- Of course.
I'll call you from Peru.
- Oh, from Peru, awesome.
- Cheer up mija.
With your intelligence and work ethic,
you'll be an A student in no time.
- But...
(grunts)
- Ugh, ew, yuck.
