[Tater reading]

[Serena] Oh, Tater!

Tater, you here?

[rustling]

Garage Possum?

[hissing]

Giant lizard!

- [clunk] - [grunts]

[Tater grunts] Ow! Watch the seams!

[gasps] A lizard with...

braces?

Tater?

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

Ha! Don't be. You really thought I was a lizard?

I'm so good, I scare myself sometimes.

So what's this all for?

The best Ramirez summer tradition.

Mañana de La Iguana.

Which begins tonight.

Every summer, my family's been visited by...

La Iguana Dorada!

At night, while everyone's asleep,

she brings treats for all the kids.

Then she buries a special golden egg somewhere in Buela's yard.

- In the morning, whoever finds the egg... - [rooster crowing]

- ...gets good luck for the whole summer. - [angelic hum]

Yes! Finally, my wish will come true.

[thunder claps]

- [♪ organ playing] - Mwah!

[laughs evilly] A summer storm.

Just what I wanted.

Gracias, Doña Iguana.

[iguana grunts]

Whoa!

How have I never heard of this holiday?

It's like it's specially made for just your family.

Well, we're pretty special people, Serena.

What was it like when you found the egg, Tater?

Well... I've never found it.

Ever. Not even once.

But literally, everyone else has.

Even Dad found it by accident one time and he's still got good luck.

[gasps]

Mwah!

[in a bad Spanish accent] Grassy-yass, Donya Guano.

[iguana grunts]

[grunts]

But this Mañana de La Iguana...

[in a southern accent] that egg's gonna be mine and I'm not yolking around.

[normal voice] That's why I made this iguana suit.

I needed to go undercover and study reptile psychology.

To think like a lizard,

- one must become a lizard. - [grunts]

- That is my child. - [grunting]

Come on, Tater. It's just one push-up.

I studied with the greats!

And would you say you use more of a scooping motion or a scraping one?

- ChaCha. - Oh, interesting.

I also did a little reconnaissance of Buela's yard

for all the best egg hiding spots.

- Stack of tires, too obvious. - [beep]

- Flower pot, too full of spare keys. - [beep]

Jean-Cluck Van Fried's roost,

- too full of-- - [loud clucking]

Jean-Cluck!

You're so prepared.

You'll totally find the egg this year.

Wanna come? I'll help you make a nest for the iguana to leave candy in.

Ugh, sorry. My parents are hosting a trivia night.

And I'm... [grunts] the referee.

Our family traditions aren't magical or fun, but they do get intense.

Intense? Trivia night?

You don't know, Tater.

- I've... I've seen things. - [♪ suspenseful music playing]

Anyway, have fun and good luck.

Not that you'll need it, bestie. [laughs]

Serena, old buddy, old pal,

you deserve a lizard high five!

All right. See you, Tater-gator.

Right behind ya.

[grunting]

Help.

Tater. Check out our iguana nest.

I made mine the biggest so it could fit the most candy.

I used my blankie to make mine extra soft.

I put a blood curse on mine. [evilly] For funsies.

- Yep. That tracks. - [whirring]

And I installed a security system

to protect mine from candy thieves.

[laser shoots]

Most effective, Gordita.

I, of course, will be using the classic.

Ol' Boxy.

Want help fixing that old thing up, Tater?

[chuckles] Gracias, but no gracias, Tabi.

I like sticking with tradition.

Besides, La Mañana isn't just about candy.

Tater's right. It's about so much more.

I remember the year I found the golden egg.

Two days later, I found out I was gonna be a big brother.

- That's what you wished for, hermanote? - Mmm-hmm.

[both whimper, sobbing]

I'm the luckiest, ever.

Yep. And this year, I'm gonna be the lucky one.

Yaaaawn! Oh!

I am feeling booya-babushed!

Guess we better hit the hay 'cause La Iguana

can't do her thing until we're all asleep.

Chop-chop! Time for mimis.

Oh, okay, Tatie! But can we at least wait until the sun goes down?

Hmm. You drive a hard bargain, Lita.

But fine, I'll wait.

[all softly snoring]

- [rustling] - [gasps] Huh?

[whispers] Did anyone else hear that?

[snoring]

- [rustling] - Is that the crinkle of candy wrappers?

[gasps] La Iguana must be afoot.

Or a-claw... uh, whatever.

Dare I try and catch a glimpse of the elusive legend?

[♪ mysterious music playing]

- [thump] - [gasps] Sorry. Don't wake up.

[snoring softly]

Big Nacho is pillows?

Where'd Big Nacho go?

And Tabi [gasps] and Lita. Oh!

They must have heard La Iguana too.

Ha! I'm gonna get a picture for Serena.

[gasps]

Whoa! Dang!

That lizard works fast.

Hmm. But now where'd she go?

Claw tracks. Lizard tail trails.

Can of gold paint, more tracks.

- Wait a minute. Huh? - [buzzer]

A can of gold paint.

Why would a golden lizard need that?

- [rustling] - [gasps] Zip!

[rattling]

La Iguana!

[camera shutter clicks]

Uh... Wha... What is...

[♪ dramatic music playing]

La Iguana is Lotlot?

Um... Tater, I, uh...

- Um... - No, this can't be.

[rustling]

Iguana?

[distorted] Iguana!

What?

What's going on?

- No, it's not what it looks like. - No, no, no.

- Oh, man. - We can explain it.

The tracks, the trails.

The egg.

You are all La Iguana?

[all apologizing]

[♪ dramatic music intensifies]

My favorite holiday is fake.

My beloved iguana doesn't even exist.

And if she's not real, then the egg's not real.

And all of my preparations...

were for nothing?

I feel so dumb!

- [all] Hmm? - You're not dumb, Tatie.

We older Primos just help out Buela and Pop con la tradicion.

Buela and Pop are in on this, too?

Pues, claro.

They created this holiday to keep our parents entertained

during the long summer break.

Isn't that neat?

Yeah. Neat. 'Cause it's all made up.

[air hissing]

[explosion]

This can't be happening!

I never even got to find the egg. [sobbing]

Tater, wait.

[♪ pensive music playing]

[Tater scoffs] Milk!

Are you even real?

[gulping]

[gasps] Is anything real?

[sighs] Is this what it means to be ten?

Things just stop being real?

- [♪ mysterious music playing] - Hey, Tater.

- [Tater] Hmph! - Much as I enjoy feeling invisible,

I wanna talk to you

because I know how you feel.

What? Like a little piece of your soul has just been ripped out

and stomped on by fake lizard claws?

Exactly that.

Huh? [grunts]

Then how could you turn around and join the older Primos?

Is it fun being a traitor?

Well, I do love creeping around in the dark.

But, yeah.

It is fun being on the other side.

Keeping the tradition alive for the Primitos.

Seeing how happy it makes them.

You don't think we...

I mean, they, are dumb for believing in La Iguana?

We all did.

I'm sorry you had to learn the truth,

but honestly, I've really been looking forward to you joining us.

Huh?

No offence to the other Primos,

but we need your creativity and costuming skills.

The iguana suit Buela made 30 years ago is getting kind of funky.

- Really? - Yeah.

- Wanna smell it? - [flies buzzing]

Oh, lemon.

Well... okay.

[sniffs] Ooh! Woof!

[coughs] That's ripe!

You know, I have a costume we can use.

- [all chuckling] - [Big Nacho] Shh! They're coming back.

[robot nest] Beep-boop! Intruder detected.

- [Cousin Bud] Huh? Ahhh! Little sis, no! - [laser shooting]

Okay, where are we stashing this thing?

How about in Jean-Cluck's henhouse?

[loud clucking]

Uh... you go first.

Okay, so your job is to run past the window

and pretend to be La Iguana.

[evilly] To frighten the children!

[chuckles] No.

Just go past the window in case one of the Primitos wakes up.

- Think you can act like a lizard, Tatie? - Ha!

Watch me.

Scuttle! Scuttle! Scuttle! Scuttle! Scuttle!

Oh, she's good.

[clears throat]

[crowing]

[loud clucking]

[Primos cheering]

Whoo! [laughs] La Iguana came, La Iguana came!

[mechanical whirring, ding]

[both munching]

- [chomping] - [all laughing]

Can we start hunting? Isn't it time?

Yes, it is.

That treasure is mine!

Not if I find it first, hermanita.

Look, Tater!

Iguana claw marks.

[gasps] She must have gone this way. Come on, Lucita.

[gasps]

- Ah, wow! - You found it.

- [chuckles] Woo-hoo! - Oh, Lucita. You're gonna be so lucky!

[gasps]

[iguana grunts]

I knew it.

I knew it!
