The first 170 lines.
I can't believe Rafa booked us a paying performance job.
Right? Hopefully this means we can stop taking
all those weird side gigs.
Testing cat litter.
Cleaning rhino stalls at the zoo.
Watching paint dry.
Seriously, how is that a thing?
All I know is I can't wait to sing our hearts out
in front of an adoring crowd of...
Five year olds?
Oh, did I not mention that?
Uh, no, you didn't.
And who's that guy?
Oops, hey, come back. Come back here.
That's Magnifico.
If you say so.
So do we go on before or after him?
Same time. -Same time as...
hold on. Rafa, don't tell me.
You're his assistants.
Yeah. That's what I meant by "don't tell me."
So, we're not singing? Like at all?
Did I not mention that either?
Listen, I'm sure he won't mind if you, you know,
hum in the background.
Come on. It's not the worst gig in the world.
I saw Magnifico warming up earlier, so it might be.
Unless magicians are supposed to cry after they do a trick.
Hey. I'm Izzy, Rafa's cousin and a CEO-to-be.
Izzy thought it would be a good learning experience
to watch me work my managerial magic today.
She's really good at talking her way into things.
I haven't decided yet if I regret my decision.
Well, from what I've seen so far I definitely regret my decision.
Ladies! Magnifico just needs some pizazz.
That's why the Barbies are here,
to make his show better than ever.
Because no matter what, the show must go on.
Look. Don't worry.
I have tons of meetings lined up today
to book you legit singing gigs.
In fact, Izzy and I need to take off for one right now.
We'll catch up with you after Magnifico's second show.
Second show?
As in we have to do this twice?
Okay, I know I mentioned that.
No?
Uh well, toodles poodles.
For my next trick I'll turn my magic wand into flowers.
Huh? We can't hear you.
Speak up.
Oh yeah.
My assistants will now bring out...
my wand.
So is that our cue to save the show?
Let's abracadabra do this.
Don't leave yet friends.
Magnifico is just getting warmed up.
You came to see magic
and we are going to show you some magic!
Right after this very quick intermission.
BRB.
I think for my next trick I'll make myself disappear.
I can't go back out there.
Magnifico, we're sure you have great tricks.
But you need to put on a show. Own the stage!
I don't think my arms go that high.
Okay.
Then just smile big and project your voice
so everyone can hear you.
Like that. Great projection.
Um, what was that?
This is Princess Petunia Pufferfeather.
She is the star of my big finish,
the handkerchief trick.
Love her look.
And those sequins, we should introduce her stylist
to Rafa before our next show.
Sure. But let's finish this show first,
before our audience vanishes into thin air.
For my next trick, I will...
What was I going to do?
Oh. Yeah. On the stage.
Wait. Maybe I'm doing that already.
Am I doing that already?
He's not really doing it.
Not even close.
And now I will make this ball
float in front of your very eyes.
Pose.
Ah, ooh.
Ohh.
Mmm.
Mmhmm.
Yeah.
Ooh!
Can we have cake now? Or go home?
And miss the best trick of all?
Gotta get the bird.
This crowd needs a big finish.
I am posing. Why isn't it working?
Don't worry. We got this.
Keep your eyes on the handkerchief.
And now the magic words?
Oh right, right. Um, um, abracadabra zadoolie doobidie doo.
All: Three, two, one. Now!
Oh, no! -Princess!
Look out!
No, my cake! No my...
...Cake.
She's gone.
My Princess is gone!
What am I going to do?
We could get you another pigeon.
Another pigeon?
Princess watched me pull my first bird out of my first hat.
Because it was her.
She's not just the star of my show.
She's my best friend.
We're really sorry, Mag. Can I call you Mag?
We had no idea Princess was such a special bird.
Don't worry. We promise we'll get her back.
Your show will go on!
What are you waiting for?
Our next gig's in just a few hours.
That crowd is even tougher.
I can't do it without Princess.
We're on it.
Look out!
Ooh, chocolate!
Princess loves chocolate.
Princess flew that way.
Which is not a sentence I thought I'd say today.
Or ever.
Shouldn't be too hard to find one little pigeon.
How many pigeons can there be in New York anyway?
Approximately 4,200,007.
My birdwatching group keeps a log.
Oh, they all look the same.
That one's gray with gray wings. That one's gray with gray wings.
That one's gray with gray wings and a red sequined collar
and an emerald in the middle.
Oh! That's her.
She does have good taste in accessories.
Hurry. We can't lose her again.
Remember, I'm here to teach you
how to become an awesome business manager.
You're here to soak up said awesomeness.
In other words, keep quiet and learn from the master.
Got it.
And when does this master arrive?
And so the Barbies, they, they sing good.
And your venue would be good for them to sing good at.
I'm sorry. It's a no.
Can we talk?
Businesswoman to businesswoman.
You remind me of myself.
You work hard.
You deserve a relaxing weekend, right?
And what's more relaxing than knowing your venue
is totally sold out thanks to a must-see act.
Just imagine it.
I could finally use my pool.
I can see it now.
Flamingo raft, nice cold lemonade in your hand.
I love lemonade.
And what's that happy sound I hear?
Could it be the cheers of all those happy paying customers?
I can hear it, I can hear it!
You've got yourself a booking.
