00:00I'm a lucky girl. In fact, I'm so lucky that my papi calls me his good luck charm.
00:07And I guess I am. Sort of.
00:14No, I think not. Mama, there's no more ink to print my book report.
00:21There was this one morning, crazy as usual, everyone was doing ten things at once.
00:30Well, this one morning, things just got a little bit too crazy.
00:51Todo esta de locos!
00:53Oh, my book report! Oh, my hair!
01:02Todo esta bien. It's just a blown fuse.
01:07Ay, mis chilaquiles!
01:15Mama, look at my hair! It's a disaster!
01:18Y aquÃ?
01:19Vaya, no!
01:23Burns!
01:32Put the lid back on, mama!
01:38Ay, mi hijita.
01:40Ay, los chilaquiles!
01:43Poor Paquito.
01:45Poor Paquito.
01:48I had such a nice breakfast planned, too.
01:54Mama, my book report is lost in cyberspace.
01:58Oh, is this a chilaquile?
02:00No!
02:04Put the lid back on, Miguel!
02:09MÃrame! I'm drenched!
02:12Sorry.
02:13Buenos dÃas, everybody.
02:16Papi, no!
02:22The chair was wet.
02:28Gracias, niños.
02:34What happened here?
02:36Se me quemó la comida.
02:38Can you believe it? Your favorite Mexican breakfast burned.
02:42The oven must be broken.
02:46Uy, uy, uy, uy, uy!
02:54This is very bad luck.
02:56Muy mala suerte.
02:58Bad luck?
02:59I feel like there is a dark cloud hanging over our heads.
03:04But today I need good luck.
03:06I have my big meeting with Carlos Maldonado.
03:08The kitty litter king. El rey de los gatos.
03:11He sells enough cat litter in one week for a thousand cats.
03:15We get the picture, mi amor.
03:17It would be great for the pet store if we could do some more business with him.
03:21But if we have mala suerte...
03:24Santiago, that's just superstition.
03:27We blew a fuse, mamá, and I forgot about los chilaquiles. Es todo.
03:33Now hurry up, all of you, or you'll be late.
03:37That day in school, everything that could go wrong, did go wrong.
03:54Oh, no!
03:55Okay, Maya, you were right.
04:00Abuelita, estás bien?
04:02I dropped a pot on my foot. I'll be all right.
04:07Buenas tardes, everyone. How was your...
04:16Javi! ¿Qué pasó?
04:19¿Cuándo?
04:20When I discovered a mouse living in the gas register.
04:23Or when the aquarium sprung a leak.
04:26Oh, mi amor.
04:27But how did the meeting with Señor Maldonado go?
04:30I had to reschedule. Viene mañana.
04:33Tomorrow. Qué bueno.
04:35And then he's coming over for dinner.
04:37You invited him here?
04:44What could I say? He's the kitty litter king.
04:47I wanted to offer him a home-cooked meal.
04:49I just hope our luck changes by then.
04:52No te preocupes. Our luck is going to change, Papi, I promise.
04:57Tomorrow we will have good luck.
04:59Good luck. Buena suerte.
05:01Looks like dinner's ready.
05:05So, unless we get rid of this bad luck, Papi's dinner will be ruined.
05:09If it's so important, Maya, maybe the best thing to do is to just stay out of it.
05:14Haha, you're funny, Chrissy.
05:16No, really, I need a plan. A big plan.
05:20My notebook!
05:29What a great day.
05:31My sister lent me her favorite sweater, I got an A on my math test,
05:35and the principal wants to put my artwork up in the house.
05:39Lucky you. It's all because of feng shui.
05:42What's that?
05:44Well, feng shui is an ancient Chinese way of inviting qi, or good energy, into your house
05:49and getting rid of sha, or bad energy.
05:52Eso es!
05:54Eso es what?
05:56We'll feng shui our apartment!
05:58Maya, you don't know the first thing about feng shui.
06:01I do. My grandma did it at our place.
06:04You just move the sofa to face a certain way, or clear out the covers, or hang chimes.
06:09Perfecto! We'll do the whole place, right after school.
06:13Oh, this will really help, Papi.
06:15You wanna rearrange your whole apartment this afternoon?
06:18It'll be so much fun!
06:20Ooh, like those decorating shows on TV.
06:23My grandma can explain everything to us.
06:26Three o'clock sharp, Maggie's house. See you there!
06:39Look at this place! It's like a mountain retreat!
06:42Thank you, Maya.
06:44It is my mother who deserves the credit, however, because she knows feng shui.
06:48Jeepers! No wonder Maggie's had such good luck lately.
06:51Feng shui is not really about luck, Maya.
06:54It is about balance and harmony.
06:56Well, whatever you got here, we need some.
06:59Is Grandma here?
07:01She's gone shopping in Chinatown.
07:03Oh, no! Do you think she'd mind if we borrowed her books?
07:07No, just take care of them.
07:10Feng shui in a hundred easy steps.
07:14A little air, a little light.
07:16I can already see the possibilities!
07:19Ooh, Papi, you look nice!
07:22Gracias, nena. Excuse me, girls. I've gotta run.
07:25Here, let me fix your tie.
07:28Little loser, please!
07:31Don't be late now!
07:33See you later!
07:35See you later!
07:37See you later!
07:39See you later!
07:42Don't be late now!
07:43No!
07:45Ay, mi. Sorry, Papi.
07:48Niñas, if you need me, I'll be across the hall using Abuela's oven to cook the pollo al horno,
07:54just to make sure nothing goes wrong.
07:59Be good!
08:02Ah!
08:10Nice catch, Papi!
08:15Maya, if you can pick up a little before dinner, I'd appreciate it.
08:20Mama, when we're done with this place, you won't even recognize it!
08:26Oh, my soccer ball! I wonder where it was.
08:31Miguel, Tito, just in time!
08:34Just in time?
08:36Vamos a redecorar.
08:38We're redecorating the entire apartment before dinner.
08:42That's two hours from now.
08:44Have you been lifting weights, Miguel?
08:47No. I'm just naturally strong like this.
08:51Well, we're going to need that muscle to help us with the furniture.
08:54Oh, please! Please, Miguelito!
08:56Yeah, me too! Me too!
08:58Por supuesto, Tito. Vámonos a la cocina.
09:01No time to waste!
09:04Bueno. What does the book say?
09:07Feng shui is a powerful method of unlocking the basic energy of the cosmos.
09:12To fully understand the art of feng shui, read this book slowly and thoroughly.
09:17I think we should just skip the beginning stuff and just read the directions.
09:21Ooh, that looks pretty!
09:24Muy bonito!
09:26Water is a favorable source for attracting wealth to your house.
09:30Si! That's more like it!
09:36Yo quiero ayudar!
09:38Sure you can help!
09:40Uh, what are you doing, Maya?
09:42If we put enough of these buckets around,
09:44Papi gets more business with the kitty litter king!
09:50Good work, Tito!
09:56Ah! Here we go! Feng means wind.
09:59Proper circulation of air is essential to good feng shui.
10:03I know just the thing!
10:09Ta-da! Wind!
10:12Hmm, where shall we put it?
10:14Wind, wind, wind. Here it is!
10:16A mild southerly breeze is very desirable.
10:20Which way is south?
10:25That way? Excellent!
10:35Uh, Maya, it says the most important thing to do in feng shui
10:39Uh, Maya, it says the most important qualities of water are sound speed and direction of flow.
10:44Our water is just sitting in buckets.
10:49Ah! Fountains!
10:51Fountains?
10:52Fountains! What's this?
10:54Si! We need fountains!
10:59We can do this in the bathroom, too!
11:01All right!
11:09Why are we doing this again?
11:11Because how you arrange things is very important.
11:14Okay, Miguel, move the table here.
11:21What if we try the sofa here?
11:26The chair here?
11:29And the table here?
11:33Still not right.
11:36Try the table here.
11:40The sofa here.
11:45And the chair here.
11:49We're getting there.
11:51We won't be able to see the TV.
11:53It's okay. We'll move the TV, too.
11:59Good vibes are right this way.
12:02Bye-bye, negative energy!
12:06What else, Maggie?
12:08A change in color is a good way to improve harmony in a room.
12:12Color? Por supuesto!
12:16Hello? Oh, hi, Mrs. Lee.
12:19Oh, okay. Sure. Bye.
12:22Maggie, that was your mom saying you need to get home.
12:25How are we ever going to finish the feng shui without you?
12:29Sorry. Use the books and you'll be fine.
12:33I feel the harmony already.
12:36Bye, guys! Bye! Thank you!
12:39Okay, where were we?
12:41Color, color, color.
12:48Pink?
12:49Color! See? Azul.
12:52Azul? How do we know blue is a lucky color?
12:55How could it not be?
12:58What are we going to do with it?
13:00Follow me.
13:02Azul! Que bonito!
13:10Color is essential.
13:12We're just going to place these things all over to bring color and harmony
13:16to every inch of this apartment.
13:20Ay, Tito, don't move!
13:27Que paco! Se...
13:34Maya!
13:35Uh-oh.
13:38Azul! Que bonito!
13:40Blue, blue, blue!
13:42Azul!
13:43Azul!
13:44Azul!
13:45Azul!
13:46Azul! Que bonito!
13:48Blue, blue, blue!
13:51Hicieron.
13:53What did you do?
13:55You said to fix the place up.
13:58No, I said to pick the place up.
14:02Pero la mala suerte. We're chasing out the bad luck.
14:05Papi will be here any minute with Señor Maldonado
14:08and I have three dishes cooking across the hall.
14:11Por favor, Mama, don't worry.
14:13We'll fix everything.
14:17Somehow.
14:24Guess it's not quite there yet, huh?
14:27We need more time.
14:28Miguel, Tito, you go stall.
14:30How are we going to do that?
14:31Surprise us. Think outside the box.
14:35You got the plan?
14:37Por supuesto.
14:40Yeah!
14:41My wife is the best cook on the planet.
14:43But don't tell that to my mother in Puerto Rico.
14:47Okay.
14:48Ah, Miguel, Tito. Señor Maldonado, déjeme presentarle a...
14:57I really need to look at that bowl constrictor. Just for a minute.
15:00Please, por favor, Papi. Es mi favorito.
15:04Please excuse my son. He is very passionate about the animals.
15:08Está bien.
15:10Está bien. A father can indulge his children from time to time.
15:14Okay, Miguel, go ahead.
15:18Ay, ay, ay.
15:19¿Dónde está, Papi? He is not in here.
15:22The snake is out of his tank?
15:24¡Ay!
15:41I think I found him.
15:43That's a power cord, Miguel. I see him behind the counter.
15:48It's a good thing that you asked to see him,
15:50or we would have left while he was out of his tank.
15:54SÃ, Papi, bueno.
15:56Okay, vámonos.
16:04Ay, I forgot my bag.
16:07You know, Señor Santos, I like working with family men.
16:11Gracias, Señor Maldonado.
16:13I certainly am proud of my family.
16:18Even if they act a little strange sometimes.
16:23Familia, I am ho...
16:29Hola, buenas noches. You must be Señor...
16:32Hola, buenas noches. You must be Señor...
16:37This is not my house.
16:41The apartment, it looks...
16:44Beautiful.
16:45SÃ, sÃ, por supuesto.
16:47Maya.
16:48Good, huh? I cleaned up our junk like you asked, Mama,
16:51and then I made sure everything was extra special
16:54for the big dinner with Señor Maldonado.
16:56But Maya...
16:57Well, you said to clean, and she cleaned,
17:00mother and daughter.
17:02What a team.
17:03Señor Maldonado, mi esposa Rosa,
17:07mi hija Maya, and her friend Creasy.
17:10Es un placer, Señor Maldonado.
17:12Pleased to meet you.
17:13Excuse me, I have to get home.
17:15I'll drop off Tito downstairs.
17:17Vámonos, Tito.
17:22Good luck.
17:23Buena suerte.
17:25Buena suerte.
17:26Please, please, we can...
17:37I'm so sorry.
17:42Well, nothing like a cool breeze on a hot day.
17:56The bathroom is right that way if you want to wash up.
18:04Maya, Miguel, what is going on here?
18:07We're getting rid of the bad luck.
18:09Shh, here he is.
18:13Señor Maldonado, ¿todo bien?
18:16Are you aware you have a metal file cabinet in your bathroom?
18:21Well, dinner is ready, so let's make our way to the table.
18:31Um, let me lead the way.
18:38I'll get the salad.
18:40If I can find the kitchen.
18:51Señor Santos, this is quite a place you have here.
18:55I think something spilled.
18:57Ay, perdón, Miguel.
18:59Get them up from the kitchen, please.
19:10Is everything okay?
19:12I'm just trying to find the table.
19:21Serpiente!
19:23I've got them all.
19:26Serpiente!
19:32I'm soaked.
19:34I'm so sorry.
19:36Maya, por favor.
19:44Es mÃo.
19:45It's mine.
19:46Es mÃo.
19:47No, no, no.
19:49No, Paco.
19:58Here, Señor Maldonado, let me help you.
20:06Señor Maldonado, I am very sorry.
20:10We owe you an explanation.
20:13It's all my fault.
20:15Señor Maldonado, please don't be angry with Papi.
20:18See, we were having terrible bad luck in our house.
20:21I lost my book report, and Mamá burned the chilaquiles.
20:24So my friend Maggie said we could change our luck and bring harmony with a book about feng shui.
20:30But we unlocked a basic energy of, well, something.
20:33But it was all because we wanted you to like our Papi.
20:36We're sorry.
20:37We've learned our lesson. Honest.
20:40Well, anyone who could raise children so devoted to their father must be a good family man, right?
20:48Oh, you are too kind. Muchas gracias.
20:52La cena, por favor.
20:56I think you chased all the bad luck into my apartment.
21:05Taco pizza.
21:07Taco pizza. Solamente en los Estados Unidos.
21:16So we ended up with harmony after all.
21:19I realized you can learn a lot from feng shui, but you may not learn it all in one afternoon.
21:26And when it comes to luck, sometimes you just have to take the bad with the good.
