with the Crown Jewels.

Don't you dare!

Drop it, four-eyes!

I'll rip out your esophagus!

I have so many unfulfilled

wishes in my life, Chino.

Me, Korean!

I haven't seen the ocean, or anything.

Now what?

Guys... Psst... Here.

Beto, is that you?

No, el Beto's gone.

He left a message.

He loves you guys a lot.

Go away. What are you doing? Go.

No, Beto's not here.

Beto left. He's gone!

Calm down, Beto, calm...

Snap out of it.

Buck up, Beto.

El Beto did what he could.

Don't worry, bro.

They cut off my hair.

I hear you. I hate failure too.

Yeah, but you're used to it.

No, it's impossible.

There's no way to find them.

Let's split up.

I'll go that way.

Right on, Captain!

"Divide and conquer".

Wrong proverb.

- Tully said it all the time.

- He meant "divide your enemies".

- Tully didn't specify.

- Enough of Tully. Who cares?

No!

Amadeo of my heart, please!

Look what they did to us.

Hey, halt!

C'mon. You look over there.

What's your name?

Oh, never mind. Come with me.

Malpa.

Malpa.

Malpa, what did they do?

Go, Capi. Save yourself

there's still time.

How can I go without you?

- Where's your brother?

- What brother?

The other Malparitti.

There.

- Where? I don't see him.

- You'll see him soon enough.

- Malpa, grab my hand.

- No, you grab mine.

No, no.

Beto feels injured.

- Unable to compete.

- Come on!

Does the cactus complain of the drought?

And yet, it pricks.

Let's go prick someting!

I'm falling, Malpa. I can't.

Hang on. Without you,

we have no team.

Ciao, bro. Thanks for the hand,

but it's slippery.

How could you drop him? Animal!

How useless can you be?

I dare you to say it to my face!

- I AM, you quadruped!

- Shut up, biped!

-Malpa, hold onto my legs.

- I can't reach!

The other Malpa!

No need to scream. We did it.

Did what? Look down.

- What do we do now?

- I'd say, we scream.

Well, alright then.

Please, bro, get me out of these clothes.

I've had it. Do I look like sheep?

Find those bastards!

Your face isn't too sheep-like, but...

- Focus, Russian!

- Isn't that so, Chino?

- Korean!

- Alright!

Amadeo, bless you, bro!

Relax guys. You can rely on me.

Leave me alone!

Lemme alone!

Having a ball? Why don't you

send out invitations?

Grouch.

Impressive!

He's even uglier, close up.

Oh, man! If I had a free hand...

C'mon!

1, 2, 3...

- What are you doing, locos?

- Shut up, ugly.

He sure is an ugly breed!

Don't lump me in with my brother.

Why, who'd take you for an ornament?

I'm not ornamental.

I'm an anchor stud.

What?

Sure. Without me,

it'd all fall down.

What's wrong? Where are you going?

Don't go. The best part's coming up.

Loco, wait for us.

Cheer up, boys.

Against a team with no arms or legs,

you have a fighting chance.

- Capi!

- Pulpo!

- What have they done to you?

- It's so humiliating, Capi.

They made me Burgundy.

Get him down from there!

Better dead than Burgundy.

Cowards. Cowards!

Aren't you ashamed to shout

at your pitiful team-mates?

They're pitiful, alright

but not MY team-mates.

- Who are you calling pitiful?

- We owned you, sonny boy.

Don't make me laugh. I got tired

of taking the ball fom you.

- You?... Take fom me?

- No, my sister.

I 'owned' you my whole life, kiddo.

- You don't say? This is news to me

- Get out, you cold fish.

- Who you calling "cold fish"?

- And you hog the ball.

Enough!

Look where we are.

Look around you.

Don't you see? What unites us

is greater than what separates us.

From now on,

we'll work together. Ok?

Is there anything you admire about him?

- He's...

- Can't hear.

- He's...

- Louder.

He's a good defenseman.

See how easy? Now you. C'mon.

I'm not saying he's not...

a great leader.

"A great leader" I said. So what?

- What a lovely time. What fun we had.

- It was impossible to score.

- We feared you.

- Me?

Hey, guys,

How did we call him? You know?

- Me?

- No, me.

- Ah, you.

- No, you fool!

- Me? How?

- We called you "The Buffalo"

Aww, come off it!

Really.

You were an unstoppable bull.

Remember the game

that lasted 3 hours?

Like it was yesterday.

Old Tachola was still alive.

The old guy was a wild animal at the controls.

But how he could drink!

He was so drunk, he pinwheeled me,

and broke a window.

I remember!

And he wanted me to pay!

- What an old geezer!

- The old dude was sure nutty.

- Where are they ?

- There.

Let's build us a foosball.

Classic/modern fusion.

Give me the wrench.

Careful with Bo Peep,

don't smudge her mascara.

Your hands are shaking, come on!

Lechuga feels fresh now.

Fresh?... Lettuce?...

My beloved fans,

Beto came to say goodbye.

He's going on tour.

No, please, don't embarrass yourselves.

No matter how you beg,

Beto can not stay.

Look on the bright side.

No longer in shadow of a crack player,

you'll be able to grow.

- Put me down, Amadeo, I'll kill him.

- Amadeo.

Take off this clown's wig!

This is why Beto's leaving.

In the theater there's

no jealousy; no envy.

All is harmony and applause.

Amadeo!

They took the Burgundy team.

They took my team. And we're "Garnet".

You have to rescue them...

We need them!

Come on, keep looking.

Where are you going? Wait!

- Look who's here.

- Who?

- Amadeo.

- About time.

Wait for Beto!

Don't shut him out!

C'mon, Betito.

That's just like you,

isn't it?

Isn't that like you?

Or is it just like you.

Beto will never abandon you.

He knows you need him.

Amadeo. Throw the ball,

to start our match.

Well, what's the hold up?

It's too far.

Amadeo. Look at this!

What's the matter?

Laura is in danger.

Forget Laura. We're all together.

We don't need her.

But she needs us.

She's gone, Amadeo. Forget her.

You should have seen her face.

I know her. Let's go.

Please...

- Amadeo, women are...

- Like landmines.

That's right.

I'm not moving from here.

Are you?

- No, I'm fine here.

- Beto stays here.

It's my rightful place in the world.

See?

I dunno, I feel...

- I feel something...

- Here? In the fourth chakra.

Me too. Like a void.

Beto feels a sort of pain

in his chest...

...el Beto does.

Yes, boys, it's sad.

Amadeo! Wait for us.

- We'll keep looking, If you like.

- Shut up, you fool!

At least I got a few

to amuse that spoiled brat.

To the mansion, numskull.

I don't know how it works.

It has no key, only buttons.

Not the blue one.

It's this one.

- What's wrong, fool?

- A visibility problem.

- What's up with the window?

- I dunno. It won't respond.

It WAS the blue one!

Green.

- Not the green!

- Didn't you say green?

You didn't let me finish.

I meant to say, "green? no way!"

This is an homage to my shoulders,

where I carry each game.

Sure, you're a one-man team, right?

Can you imagine? They forced me

to add ten players!

Some sort of rule, I dunno.

- Here I am throwing a disco.

- A "discus".

The decorator said the same.

So many ignorant people, my God!

This one always gets me!

Because it shows

I'm as fragile as a child...

...and as kind as a mother...
