## Scene 1 - It's Always Summer In Stockton

* **Dr. Gomez**: Oh, shoot. Rico. Rico. Rico. Dude, we slept in again. The song's about to start!
* **Rico**: Shoot, Gabby! We can't miss the song. Gabby, wake up!
* **Gabby**: What? What? I'm up. I'm up.
* **Dr. Gomez**: This song is such an awesome way to start every morning.
* **Gabby**: Ay caramba, I love them so much.
* *Oh, yeah*
* *Oh, yeah*
* *Livin' like I'm on the edge of sur-reality*
* *But I know everything is gonna be cool, as long as you’re here with me*
* *And we’re gonna lighten up each other’s load*
* *When bumps and curves come on the road*
* *'Cause we are all in it together*
* *And that’s forever*
* *It’s always Summer in Stockton*
* *Even in December, we’re singin' la-di-da-da!*
* *It’s always Summer in Stock-*
* *In Stockton (It's Always Summer)*
* *It doesn’t get better than that*
* **Gabby**: You know what I like the most about yard sales? It's how you get to learn a lot about people from the stuff they own. Take this, for example. *[Gabby takes a vinyl out of a box.]* Who would have thought Ninja-Rina was a popstar?
* **Rico**: *[Rico takes a ski mask out of a box.]* What do you think he does with this mask?
* **Ninja-Rina**: That's called a the ninjaclava. *[Ninja-Rina puts on the mask.]* I wear it to specifically tan my lips and eyelids. You should totally buy it. People love this thing -- especially the guys at the bank. They always put their hands in the air and start waving, and throwing money at me.
* **Gabby**: *[Gabby shows the toilet swing.]* What's this for?
* **Ninja-Rina**: That's a toilet swing. *[Ninja-Rina takes it out of Gabby's hand.]* You see, when you're a bonanza banana split, you have trouble sitting on the toilet without dipping in, so what you do is -- *[Gabby and Rico scream.]*
* **Gabby**: No! Stop, stop. That was way too descriptive. Now we don't know whether to scream or throw up.
* **Katoon**: Hey, Rico, do you have any money?
* **Rico**: How 'bout both?
* **Ravi**: Gabby, I'm Ravi , how are things?
* **Gabby**: Good.
* **Ravi**: Come with me.
* [She takes her to a cliff slide that has a good view of the horizon]
* **Gabby**: [uses her force vision] Wow! It's beautiful!
* **Ravi**: My mother used to take me here when I was a baby.
* **Gabby**: I wish I could see her, if she was, she would be my grandmother.
* **Ravi**: That's right.
* **Gabby**: What? What else?
* **Ravi**: I'm going. But before I do, that's something I want you to remember.
* **Gabby**: What is that it?
* **Ravi**: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think," [kisses her] Goodbye.
