[At the Casagrande's mercado, Vito is playing hacky sack with a frozen hotdog. He kicks it up, it ricochets off a pinata, the ice falling off, and lands in Hector's mouth]
Vito: "Goal!" [Hector takes out two horchatas and gives one to Vito, they chug them] "Ahh, hot dogs and horchata are the best! I love having second breakfast with you, Hector."
Hector: [Comes over the counter] "Second breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
Vito: [As they fist bump] "You got that right best friend."
[They do a handshake, then bare their midriffs]
Vito & Hector: "Booya! Belly bros!"
[Slap their unhealthily large bellies together]

[Later, Bobby is at the counter, Hector sweeping, and Vito approaches with a pile of groceries]
Vito: "Just put it on my tab, Bobby."
Bobby: "Sure thing, Vito." [Bobby does so and gasps delighted] "Today's a really special day at the mercado." [Sets off some streamers] "You're the first customer ever to owe the mercado ten-thousand dollars. Congrats! Confetti and balloons are on the house."
[Hector and Vito aren't too thrilled about this]
Hector: [Coughs up confetti] "Did you say ten-thousand dollars?!"
Bobby: [Sensing his Abuelo's shock] "Oh, sorry, I have to charge it for the balloons. Ten- thousand and one dollars."
[Hector's face gets red with anger. Just then, Big Tony and Little Sal arrive with their own groceries]
Vito: "Oh, boys, put it all back." [They do so. But Hector is still furious. Vito chuckles and puts back his half-eaten chocolate bar] "There, are we square, Hector?"
Hector: [Growls, but takes a breathe] "Vito, you're my friend. But this has gotten out of hand, you have to pay your tab."
Vito: "Of course, whatever I got in my pockets is yours!" [Empties hos pockets, which contain only two dog treats, a banana peel and three meatballs on a stick] "I'm, uh, a little light."
Hector: "Tell you what, you can work at the mercado until you've paid off your tab. Roberto's been asking for some time off anyway."
Bobby: "Yeah, I've got a big math test coming up. I really gotta study. Bobby plus math equals uh-oh."
[Suddenly, Hector waves his broom in Bobby's face, Bobby yelps and flees]
Hector: "Shoo! I expect a good grade on that test Roberto."
Vito: "I'm in, Hector and it's your lucky day you get three employees for the price of one."
[Big Tony and Little Sal have their aprons ready, and some skills]

[Later]
Hector: "Okay, Vito. Let's start your training."
Vito: "Hector, please, I spend all my days at the mercado. No training required."
[Meanwhile, Vito is bagging eggs and milk, but puts the eggs at the bottom and shoves the milk in. It leaks and the buyer gasps] "Here y go, miss."
Miranda: "Hey!"
[Takes her bag from the top]
Vito: "Let me get the door for you's." [Gets the door for Miranda, she walks to it, until the bag rips open] "Don't worry I got this." [Scoops a yolk with half a shell] "There you go pre-scramble ready to cook."
Hector: [Approaches with replacement eggs and milk] "Sorry about that, here's new eggs and milk on the house." [Miranda takes them and leaves] "Come back soon, you're here." [Sighs. To Vito] "Let's start with something easier, something even you couldn't mess up."
[Later, Maybelle takes a bag of popcorn off the shelf, which starts moving and opens itself, revealing two hairballs inside]
Maybelle: [Gasps] "Ah! Get away from me, furry popcorn!"
[Drops the bag and runs. The fur balls are Big Tony and Little Sal, who somehow got inside the unopened bag. They laugh and start eating. Hector and Vito take notice]
Vito: "Just put it on my tab." [Hector sighs. Later, Vito is finishing up with the floor waxer] "Hey, Hector! I waxed your floors. Take a look."
[Hector comes and slips on the light yellow substance Vito used to wax the floor with and goes crashing through the aisles]
Hector: [Really mad] "You used butter! The expensive kind."
Vito: "Then what did I put on my toast?" [Licks the pink substance on his toast, causing his tongue to become very shiny] "Ew, wax. Just put it on my tab."
[Hector's reflection in Vito's tongue growls. Later, Vito is bringing in Mr. Inflatable]
Hector: "Vito, what are you doing?"
Vito: "Oh, it was really windy out there. So I'm bringing the little guy in. I know how much you'd miss him if he flew away, Hector."
[Hector is actually touched by this one. Mr. Inflatable resumes his job inside, knocking over the cash register, the decorative pinatas, and the gumball machine]
Hector: [Sighs] "You know, Vito, maybe you could help me outside the mercado, making deliveries."
Vito: "Sure! Outside it is." [Vito exits, and Mr. Inflatable hits Hector on the head. Vito buckles up in the mercado van] "Don't worry hector I'll be the fastest delivery guy you've ever seen." [Looks at the shift lever] "All righty, 'R' must be for 'Race'."
[Shifts into what he doesn't realize is 'reverse'. Vito drives backwards and ends up driving through the mercado door]
Hector: [Really mad now] "Vito!"
Vito: "Oofa doofa, did you know that thing went backwards?"
Hector: "You broke my mercado!"
Vito: "Oh, gee, I'm really sorry."
Hector: "Take your dogs and get out!"
Vito: "I'll make this right I'll work overtime and long weekends and…"
Hector: "No thanks! You've done enough damage. Now, don't bother coming back here until you pay off your tab."
[Takes the apron back. Vito and his dogs leave, sad. Once they leave, part of the awning falls on Hector]

THE NEXT DAY
[The mercado door is still broken and Hector is alone in the mercado]
Hector: "Ahh, Vito free at last." [Takes out a crossword puzzle] "Much better. A seven-letter word for 'best friend'?" [Chuckles with an evil twinge] "Not Vito." [Throughout the day, Hector tries to keep himself entertained. He plays balero, but just hits himself in the face with it. He angrily tosses it away but it somehow bounces back and hits him again. Later, Hector is starting to fall asleep at the counter, he wakes himself up and checks the time] "Huh. this is fine. I can pass the time by myself." [Starts digging the wax out of his ear, then giggles and starts digging into his other ear, and then the other one again. Later, Hector makes a card house out of gum packets. It falls and he grumbles. Later, he is balancing a spoon on his nose and reading a gossip magazine. The spoon drops and Hector checks the time again] "Surely that passed some time." [Sees] "It's only been one minute? Well, time's not moving but at least it's not costing me anything." [Just then, someone casually whistles outside the mercado. Bruno is innocently walking his cart past when Hector cuts him off] "There he is, B to the Bruno!"
Bruno: [Noticing the lack of front door] "Doing some store renovations?"
Hector: "Ugh, don't ask. Hey stick around. Have some horchata!"
[Pushes Bruno inside]
Bruno: "Okay, just one cup, then I have to get back to work."
Hector: "Horchata and hot dogs! A match made in heaven just like you and me." [Tries to slide the cup to Bruno, but it spills all over Bruno's apron] "Sorry, Bruno. Belly bros!"
[Tries belly-butting Bruno, but knocks him over, sending the cart into the road]
Bruno: "My cart!"
Hector: "Don't worry, I got it." [Chases after it, luckily the fire hydrant stops it] "So what do you want to do next?"
Bruno: "Go to work if you don't mind."
[Leaves. Suddenly the dented fire hydrant sprays Hector]

[Later, Hector is sweeping outside the mercado, with Mr. Inflatable keeping him company. Mr Inflatable crosses him arms with a smug look]
Hector: "What? You think I miss Vito?" [Mr. Inflatable nods] "Well you're wrong." [Hector grumbles and walks away, only for another piece the awning to fall on him again] "Oofa doofa."
[Mr. Inflatable is concerned]

[Later again, Hector is playing his guitar]
Hector: [Singing] "I might be sad. But it's not so bad. Cause I've got you." [his guitar] "My only frie… he… he… hend." [Sobbing now. Suddenly a string snaps. Just the, Ronnie Anne and Carl enter] "There they are, my two favourite grandkids! You guys, have some horchata!" [Slides two horchatas straight into a wall] "Nevermind. I've got something else." [Takes out a bag of candy] "Carl, bet you can't guess how many mango chewy-chews are in this bag? if you do they're yours."
Carl: "Um, fifteen?"
Hector: "No, think higher."
Carl: "Aw, Abuelo, I came in for candy, not homework."
[Just takes the chewy-chews and walks away]
Hector: "Fine, don't play. How about you, Ronnie Anne? What's the cheese?"
Ronnie Anne: [Not getting it] "Cheese?"
Hector: "Chisme. Come on, what's the scoop?"
Ronnie Anne: [Getting a little frightened] "Um… I know what you're saying but I'm just gonna go skate at the park."
Hector: [Has Ronnie Anne's helmet on] "Who needs the park when you can skate here?" [Ronnie Anne freaks out as Hector takes her bord and climbs over the counter] "Watch and learn."
[Skates through the aisles]
Ronnie Anne: "What is happening?"
Carl: "I think he's finally lost it."
Hector: "Come on, Ronnie Anne, fist bump." [Does so with Ronnie Anne, who doesn't actually move her hand] "Boom!" [Just then, the skateboard starts rolling, sending Hector rolling into the fire hydrant, which blasts Hector straight up. Hector lands in the park fountain. Just then, a familiar-looking shadow approaches] "Vito? You're back!"
Bruno: "Uh, no. it's Bruno."
Hector: [Bummed out] "Oh."
Bruno: [Helps Hector up] "You should just talk to Vito. You know, he misses you too."
Hector: [Elated] "He does?"
Bruno: "Of course he does. he even got a new job to pay you back. He says he's really high up in the company."
Hector: "Oh, I don't even care about the money anymore. i just want my friend back."
Bruno: [Takes out a card] "Here's where he works. And you know, nothing says 'I'm sorry' like hot dogs."
Hector: "You're right, Bruno. I'm gonna need twelve hot dogs. And in the words of my best friend put it on my tab."
Bruno: [Who's not Hector's best friend, laughs] "Nice try, Hector, that'll be twenty-two fifty."
Hector: "Aw. It never works for me."
[Gives Bruno the money]

[Later, Hector is at the building Vito is working at. He approaches the security guard with a bouquet of hotdogs]
Hector: "Hi, I'm here to see Vito Filliponio. He's very high up in the company."
Security Guard: "Yeah, he's in the back. Go around."
Hector: [A little confused] "Oh, uh. Alrighty then." [Out back, Hector sees Big Tony and little Sal cleaning the building's windows] "Hey hey! Where's Vito, boys?" [The dogs lower themselves to Hecto, and point up. Hector looks way up and sees Vito scrubbing the windows higher up] "Ay, chihuahua. He is high up. Hey, Vito! never mind the tab, just come back to the mercado!"
Vito: [Can barely hear Hector] "What?"
Hector: "You're my friend and I miss you! Just come back!"
Vito: "Huh? Do I own a cat? You know I'm more of a dog person."
[Leans closer, too close to the edge of the platform]
Hector: "No!"
[Vito falls. Quickly, Hector jumps onto the dog's platform and pushes the lever, sending him up. Vito is falling, but Hector catches him]
Vito: "Hector, you saved me!"
Hector: "That's what friends do." [They hug. Then suddenly Vito bumps into the lever, sending them both down. They scream, until Hector remembers something] "Vito, remember that thing we love to do?"
Vito: "You betcha, buddy!"
[They do their handshake again, which ends with them bellying up again. Their bellies are strong enough to slow down the cables. They stop just before crushing the dogs]
Vito & Hector: "Belly bros!"

[Back at the finally repaired mercado, the two belly bros have their hotdogs and horchata]
Hector: "Your friendship is way more important than any tab, Vito. It's priceless."
Vito: "Aw, thanks, Hector. Here, this is what I earned today. I know it's not much but it's a start. I still want to pay off my debt."
Hector: "You're a class act, Vito. I'll deduct this from your tab." [Actually looks at Vito's tab himself and realizes something] "Wait, this doesn't look right."
[Just then, Bobby walks in]
Bobby: [Excited] "Abuelo, I aced my test! Well, except for the decimal points section. I can never figure out where those little things go."
Hector: [Who is better with decimals] "Huh? That explains it. You put the decimal point in the wrong place. Vito, you owe a hundred dollars not ten thousand dollars."
[For what they both just went through, they and the dogs growl at Bobby]
Bobby: [Nervously chuckles] "Just remembered I got another test tomorrow. Gotta run."
[Skedaddles]
Vito: [To the dogs] "Get him, boys!"
[Big Tony and Little Sal attack Bobby.]
Hector & Vito: "Booyah!"
