Pete: Imma vandalize the bodega while doing a kick-a** dance! (Spray paints and dances)

Usnavi: YO! PETE! GET OUTTA HERE! I'm sorry you had to see that, folks! My name is Usnavi. You probably have NOT heard that name, so DON'T MAKE FUN! Anyway, I had a very angsty childhood. I came from the Dominican Republic when I was little and my parents both died, and... (smells the milk) OH MY GOSH! WHAT'S THAT SMELL?!

Abuela Claudia: Hola! Alabanza! Qué paso, Usnavi?

Usnavi: My dang fridge is broke and now I have no milk!

Abuela: Try some condensed milk.

Usnavi: Great idea. Oh, here's your lotto ticket!

Abuela: Paciencia y fe! (Kisses it)

Usnavi: Okay, that was Abuela, but she's not actually my abuela. Weird, huh... anyway, now I'm gonna tell you how to get to Washington Heights. Just take the subway and get off at 181st street.

The community: Yay, Washington Heights! We may be poor but we love it here!

Kevin: Hey, Usnavi, hit me up with some coffee and some lottery tickets!

Camila: Just. One. Oh, I'm so sorry you had to see that, Usnavi, Nina is coming home from college...
