It's nicer than before.

You've got a TVand C.D. player.

What kind of music do you like, Mr. Creasy?

I don't know.

- You don't know?

- I don't know.

- [Parrot Squawks]

- That's Bird.

Emilio forgot to take him

when he left.

Emilio was my last bodyguard.

Have you protected a lot of children

before, Mr. Creasy?

Creasy. You can call me Creasy.

And no, you're the first.

Creasy.

Bye, Creasy.

So long.

Bye, Bird.

- [Squawks]

- [Door Closes]

Ow.

- School tomorrow, peeps.

- Does that mean we can get a dog?

Dad promised me one

when I went back to school.

Yeah, we'll see.

If you get a dog,

will you give up your bear?

You're getting too old for him.

- How'd you like Mr. Creasy?

- Creasy.

He said to call him just Creasy.

- Uh-huh.

- That isn't disrespectful, is it?

No, not if he asked you.

Here. There you go.

[Sighs]

- He's like a bear too.

- Yeah?

A big, sad bear.

- Is he sad?

- I think. Or something.

- Good night, honey.

- Night.

- Oh, can you get me

some floss in the morning?

- Floss?

- Yeah, the strawberry kind.

- Oh, sure.

Good night, Bear.

Creasy Bear.

[Sighs]

[Squawks]

[Skipped item nr. 185]

What's that one for?

La Virgin de Guadalupe.

Business. For Toyota, for Ford.

If one dies, maybe she can

resurrect the other one.

I don't know.

- [Sighs]

- She likes him.

- What are you talking about?

- Creasy.

Pita likes him.

Pita loves school.

Pita would love Count Dracula

ifhe took her back there, honey.

Okay?

- Hey. Are you okay?

- I don't know.

- Okay?

- [Sighs]

I don't know, Lisa.

I'm trying.

[Bell Tolling]

[Squawking]

[Squawking Continues]

Come on, Bird.

That's right.

That's right. Come on.

All right. Home to Emilio.

You're home free, baby.

[Horns Honking]

- Where are you from, Creasy?

- The U.S.

- I know, but which state?

- No state in particular.

You can drive and talk

at the same time.

No, I can't, Pita, so, please,

let me just do my job.

Are you going to stay?

My last bodyguard left.

Somebody gave him

more money than we could.

I guess that makes me

a bargain then, huh?

Being black... is that a positive or negative

for a bodyguard in Mexico?

Time will tell.

There were 24 kidnappings

in Mexico City in the last six days.

- Four a day.

- Yeah?

- Twenty-four?

- Twenty-four. What do you

think about that, Creasy?

- I think that you know

entirely more than you should.

- Well, thank you.

[Bell Tolling]

[Chattering]

[Girl]

Hola, Miguel.

- See you later.

- You have to sign.

- What?

- You have to sign in, show them your I.D.

Buenos das. Come on.

Right there.

- Hola, Manuel.

- Hola, Pita.

- :
Hola, Pita!

- :
Hola!

Pita! It's so good to have you back.
