Come on, Lucky.
-We're missing it.
-Missing what? I thought we were coming to check out the fiesta.
[festive music plays in distance.]
You'll see.
[crowd cheering.]
Excuse me.
[gasps.]
This is-- He's-- wow! -We knew you'd like it.
-The games and food are fun, but the best part of the fiesta is the charreada.
Charreada.
Oh, that's what my mom did in the circus! [Lucky.]
Whoa.
-Look at him go! -[crowd applauding.]
[Pru.]
That's Javier, the best trick rider around.
No way! He's our age.
Just watch.
[whistles.]
[crowd cheers.]
[horse chuffs.]
Oh, wow.
[all gasp.]
[grunts.]
[Javier.]
Ha-ha! We've got to try that.
[whinnies.]
[whistles.]
[Lucky.]
Whoa.
My mom did tricks like these.
I've never seen them done before.
Ha-ha! [cheers and applause.]
I've got to learn how to do that.
Maybe I can drop out of school and be a pro trick rider.
[chuckles.]
You'll do anything to avoid Miss Flores.
[whinnying.]
[sighs.]
-[Lucky screams.]
-[Javier grunts.]
Sorry about that.
We just-- ¡Ah, oye! ¿Estás bien? Uh, sorry.
I don't-- Ah, English.
You and your horse are doing tricks? -[whinnies.]
-[neighs.]
[chuffs.]
-That was a good try.
-Thanks.
I could use a little work.
But you're incredible.
[chuckles.]
Gracias.
I'm Javier.
I'm Lucky.
Lucky.
Ah, Fortuna.
[man.]
Javier, let's go! I hope to see you again, Fortuna.
[grunts.]
Vámonos, Hacheta.
Nice moves, you two.
Looks like you mastered the dismount.
[chuffs.]
Aw, don't listen to her, Spirit.
We just have to practice a little, and we'll be just as good as Javier.
You can practice later.
The pie-eating contest is about to start.
Ooh! Howdy, little missy.
Care to wager on how many jelly beans are in this jar? Only a nickel a guess.
Abigail? You coming? If you guess right, you get the whole jar for yourself.
[gasps.]
The whole jar? That's got to be a lifetime's supply of jelly beans.
Or at least a week's.
[Pru.]
You're wasting your nickel.
It's impossible to guess.
Oh, Pru, when did you stop believing in magic? Okay.
Four, eight, 15, uh 3,008.
No, no, no! Wait.
That doesn't count.
We don't have time for this, Abigail.
We've got pies to eat.
They're right.
I can't rush a decision this big.
Can I think about it and come back? So I'm supposed to wait around all day for you to guess? Keep in mind, you've already taken my nickel.
I'll be back for you, jelly beans.
Ugh.
-[horses whinny.]
-[man.]
Yah! -Ooh! -Ah! Are you all right, Kate? [giggles.]
I'm just practicing for tonight's dance.
¡Olé! Yep.
Ahh, I think we're ready to hit the dance floor.
Glad we rehearsed.
[chuckles.]
Right.
Dancing.
That's what you do at the fiesta.
Well, they ought to call it the "dance-esta.
" [laughing.]
Yes.
Or "fiest-dance.
" Okay.
Well, uh maybe I'll see you there.
It'd be nice to run into you somewhere other than the street.
Technically, the dance is being held in the street.
Well, uh good-bye.
[Abigail.]
Let's see.
I had a jar half that size once, and I ate it in six hours, figuring an average of about 107 beans per hour-- [Pru.]
I can't believe you're still thinking about candy after all those pies.
[groans.]
I'm gonna have to roll myself onstage tonight.
-Onstage? -I was going to surprise you.
Doc Wilkins was gonna sing at the dance, but he got sick, so he asked me to take his place.
Wow! Doctors can get sick? I didn't know you sang, Pru.
Sure.
I love it.
I mean, I've never sung for an audience, but I don't think it'll be a big deal.
Wait.
Doc Wilkins.
That's right! I ate the jar of jelly beans in five hours.
I spent the sixth hour in Doc Wilkins' office.
I'd better take another look at my jelly beans.
All my variables are off.
No one told me there was an opening for a performer.
Because there isn't.
[Lucky.]
Sorry! Speaking as someone who's performed many times for many crowds, I can only tell you how stressful it is.
Oh, but I'm sure you'll be fine.
Maricela, don't you have a chandelier to polish? No.
The maid does that, silly.
But back to your little recital.
You shouldn't worry at all.
I mean, what are the odds of you screwing up and humiliating yourself in front of the whole town? [sighs.]
Hmm.
Are these standard issue beans? What? It doesn't matter.
[scoffs.]
Right.
Jelly bean density "doesn't matter.
" I thought you were a professional.
Come on.
Just guess so I can close up.
I want to go home to my family.
Okay.
There are 1,009 jelly beans.
A thousand and nine.
Sounds great.
Great, huh? Great for me or great for you? Or are you hinting that it's a greater number and I should guess higher? I-- uh-- Never mind.
That guess doesn't count.
I need to think more.
[sighs.]
[grunts.]
[gasps.]
Maybe you do not know, but lassos are for cows, not cowboys.
[laughs.]
Guess I have a lot to learn.
You are trying to do tricks? If you need, I am a very good teacher.
Really? Can you teach me how to stand on Spirit on one foot with my arms out like this? La Volada? [laughs.]
Maybe we will start with lassoing.
Javier! Bienvenidos .
I heard you'd come in.
¿Cómo está tu familia? Hola, Maricela.
Bien, gracias.
You know Spanish? Of course.
You don't Fortuna? -[growls.]
- Sí.
I will come for dinner.
Now I must help Fortuna become a trick rider fantástica.
Vamos.
Let us get our horses.
Ugh! So if X equals nine, and the jar has a depth of 18-- But then what if they're sour jelly beans? [groans.]
I will beat you, jar of beans! Any luck figuring this out, Turo? Yep! The square root of 361 is 19.
Great! How does that help me guess? Oh, I thought we were just doing our math homework.
Pru, what have you got? -[Abigail.]
Pru? -Yes! Feeling great.
Not nervous at all.
[chuckles.]
Why do you ask? [groans.]
You must have the blood of a charro in you, a trick rider.
Actually, my mom performed with El Circo Dos Grillos.
I have this poster of her from the show, standing up on her horse, just like you did.
If I could be even half the trick rider she was -I can teach you La Volada.
-Really? Sí.
It's all about balance.
Put your feet here.
Aquí.
Keep your back straight and go slow.
Now you try.
[Hacheta neighs.]
Maybe it's not as hard as it looks.
Whoa-oh! Ugh! [Spirit whinnies.]
[groans.]
Or it's exactly as hard as it looks.
-You are okay? -Fine.
Just got to try again.
Yoo-hoo! Javi! Cook just took the most scrumptious soufflé out of the oven.
Come have a piece.
Gracias, Maricela.
But I am just showing Fortuna how to do a trick.
But, Javi, you're only in town for one day.
Why are you wasting your time on something impossible? Gee, thanks.
Wait.
You're leaving tomorrow? But I can't learn how to do La Volada without you.
No, you are very close.
Vamos.
Let us try again.
Oh! Ouch! My foot! I must have twisted it.
¡Cuidado! I will help you home.
I am sorry.
We can try again later.
Oh, don't worry.
If I put ice on it, I'll be fine for dancing tonight.
[sighs.]
Well, want to keep trying, buddy? -[whinnies.]
-Okay.
Back straight.
Go slow.
[grunting.]
[sighs.]
I'm going to learn La Volada.
And soon, I hope.
[grunts.]
-[laughs.]
-[Cora.]
Lucky! -[screams.]
-You have company! Ahh, much better.
We couldn't have you going out looking like a street urchin.
Thanks.
Yeah, just regular, everyday grooming.
No special reason to look nice tonight [chuckles.]
at the dance.
Abigail! You won the jelly beans? Not yet.
But if I count how many are in this jar, it'll help me figure out how many are in that jar.
One twenty-five, 126 So, you bought a jar of jelly beans to help you win a jar of jelly beans? Lucky, I love you, but you're distracting me.
Where was I? Oh, uh I think I ate three of them.
Or 12.
Really, Mr.
Prescott? Why don't we head to the dance? -Ready, Pru? -You know I'm actually feeling kind of sick.
What's the matter? Um, my throat is feeling scratchy, and my, uh, arms are feverish.
I don't know if I can go tonight.
But, Pru, you can't miss the fiesta.
Everyone in town is going.
Ugh.
Exactly.
[sighs.]
-Oh, what's wrong? -It's just, what if I get up there to sing and I screw it up? I'll be humiliated in front of everyone.
-Don't worry, Pru.
-Yeah.
If you don't want to do it, you don't have to.
-It's okay.
-It most certainly is not okay.
You mustn't cheat yourself out of a fun experience because you're afraid of what people will think of you.
But, Aunt Cora, you're always telling me to worry about what people think of me! Yes, when you behave like a savage.
But singing is one of the graces not to be denied.
Do you like to sing, Prudence? -I love it.
But-- but-- -Oh! If ifs and buts were fruits and nuts, we'd all have a merry Christmas.
Now, sing for me.
[playing tune.]
[flat.]
I've been flying Through the prairie Seasons flowing like a stream I don't know where I'm going Okay, that was nice.
Look me in the eye, Prudence Granger.
Try again.
Now, take a deep breath [both inhale deeply.]
keep your head up, and show that audience what you've got.
All this world is full of beauty All the rocks and flowers gleam Singing as I gallop past them Is this life a dream? [Jim.]
Cora, where's my fancy vest? Oh, found it.
Never mind.
Oh, what's this stain? When did we even have coleslaw? [scoffs.]
Excuse me, girls.
Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the dance! [cheering.]
[festive music playing.]
If everyone here were a jelly bean, and the town square was a jar All right, I've got a few minutes to prepare.
I'll be throwing up in the bushes.
Whoa.
[sighs.]
Whoa! Hola, Fortuna.
You are thinking too hard, maybe.
How am I supposed to practice without thinking about practicing? Bailemos.
You need balance to stand on Spirit.
You also need it to dance.
Dance with me, and you will understand.
Well, if it'll help me learn.
Oh! Oh-- ugh! [growls.]
[both laughing.]
-Hmm.
-Whoa-oh! [sighs.]
Everyone, please give a big hand for our singer tonight, Pru Granger.
[playing tune.]
[voice cracking.]
Uh-oh.
Hmm.
[Jim grunts.]
-[crowd laughs.]
-Ahem.
A new dawn's coming It's a blue and pink sky So I've gotta go riding And I don't know why Oh, I would have been so much better.
She's not even breathing from her diaphragm.
[Pru.]
My eyes are filled with tears What is my heart hiding? What is it I feel? I've been flying Well, now or never, old boy.
Just be yourself.
Seasons flowing like a stream I don't know where I'm going I was hoping I'd see you here.
Oh, wouldn't miss it.
I love dancing.
Me too! No! That's a lie.
I'm terrible.
Oh.
But I am a pretty good walker.
-Shall we? -[giggles.]
Now my horse is resting Hey, kid! Here.
Here.
Here's your nickel back.
I can't wait anymore.
I missed my son's first words.
They were, "Where's Daddy?" Wait.
I'm ready to guess.
[sighs.]
All right, jelly beans.
We have a date with destiny.
That sets my heart a-reeling I leap into the saddle And my horse and I are wheeling I've been flying Through the prairie [sighs.]
Now or never.
I don't know where Javier, we never got that dance before.
But I'm ready to practice now if you are.
I would love to.
All the rocks and flowers gleam [sighs.]
Three thousand and eight? By gum, you won! [gasps.]
I-- I did it? I really guessed how many jelly beans are in the jar? No.
Are you crazy? Three thousand jelly beans? They couldn't fit in there.
But you're the only one who entered, so, by default, your guess is the closest.
So, uh, congratulations.
[gasps.]
They're mine! All mine! - Now my horse is resting -No! And drinking from a brook Above me clouds are passing -Whoa-oh-oh! - Like pages from a book [crowd clamoring.]
[gasps.]
Oh, no! I'm okay.
Whoa! Ugh! [shouts.]
[grunting.]
[laughing.]
Oh, look how ridiculous she looks.
Poor dear.
[laughs.]
Javi, are you looking? [laughing.]
Okay, show's over, folks.
I mean, not this show.
How about that Pru Granger, everyone? Give her a hand.
Wait! Fortuna! -Lucky! -Are you okay? Yeah.
I'm just all danced out.
Uh, I think I'm going to go.
Want us to come? No.
I want to be alone.
Please, stay.
Have fun.
[sighs.]
Javier must think I'm a disaster.
I'll never learn La Volada now.
[Spirit whinnies.]
[sighs.]
[whinnies.]
Yah! [whinnies.]
Yeah! [Javier.]
Whoo! Ha-ha-ha! Hola.
How is your, uh [laughs.]
What are you doing here? I have had enough dancing.
To me, it is much greater to be out here, riding.
[whinnies.]
I feel the same way.
Even if I'm no good at trick riding or even general balancing.
That is not true.
Didn't you see me back there? You cannot stand up if you do not fall down.
I fell many times when I learned these tricks.
You will get it.
You are a good rider, Fortuna.
But not as good as me.
-[Hacheta whinnies.]
-[laughs.]
Oh, yeah? [Spirit whinnies.]
-[Lucky.]
Whoo-hoo! [laughing.]
-[Javier.]
Whoo! [laughing.]
Yeah! ¡Vamos! [Lucky laughing.]
[cheering and laughing.]
[laughing.]
[laughing.]
[horse neighs.]
[Abigail.]
And then Maricela stormed onto the stage and was trying to sing louder than Pru.
And it was actually a very nice duet.
But then Maricela pushed Pru, and Pru pushed Maricela, and Snips pushed over the churro stand and started a food fight with Bianca and Mary Pat, -and then we all got asked to leave.
-[laughs.]
Oh, wow! I'm sorry I missed that.
But you were really great, Pru.
Was there ever any doubt? Did you say good-bye to Javier? Yeah.
He said something in Spanish.
I'm not sure what it meant, but it sure sounded nice.
Oh, how romantic! Probably.
Oh, and this is from Hacheta.
[whinnies.]
[sniffs.]
[whinnies.]
[Hacheta whinnies.]
Javier! Javier! Hey! Javier! Yeah! [laughs.]
