Jugglin’

[ANA]
Look how she moves
Not breaking a sweat
Gracefully smooth
Performing her own duet

[FACTORY LADIES]
Jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin'
Jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin'

[ANA]
Maybe I can catch her rhythm
Gotta learn to syncopate
Could it really be that hard to try and coordinate?

[FACTORY LADIES]
Coordinate, coordinate...

[ITZEL, spoken]
¡Ay! No, no, no! Not like that!
Catalina don't like that...

[ANA]
Sorry... I'll get better!
I gotta run to an interview, but when I get back
It's you and me, Catalina

[FACTORY LADIES, sung]
Jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin'
Jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin'

[ANA, spoken]
Soledad Velasco is 101 years young today
What's your secret to a long life?

[SOLEDAD]
¿Qué?

[ANA]
¿Cuál es su secreto para una vida larga?

[SOLEDAD]
Ah, ¡sexo cada día!

[ANA]
Sex every—
Eh, let's go with exercise every day
We're a family paper

[SOLEDAD]
How do you think you got a family?!

[FACTORY LADIES, sung]
Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin'
Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin'

[CARMEN, spoken]
Sex every day?
With my twins running around? Oh no
How are those boys, Pancha?

[PANCHA]
Doctors say they got the ADD

[ROSALÍ]
¿Qué?

[PANCHA]
Oh, half the school's got it, it's going around

[CARMEN]
Every time you go to the doctor, you leave with bad news!

[FLACA]
And a prescription, do they think we're rich?

[PANCHA]
Oh no, they found my secret: I am rich
I only work three jobs because I like it!

[ROSALÍ, sung]
Four jobs, if you count your kids

[FLACA]
Five, if you count your husband

[FULVIA]
Six, if you count your lover

[PANCHA, spoken]
How you know about Flaca's brother?!

[FACTORY LADIES, sung]
Hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin' (Whatever)
Hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin', hustlin'
Keeping all the balls in the air
Don't let 'em drop, 'cause, ay, caramba
Everybody's counting on us
Getting it done, making it work

Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin'
Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin'

[ANA, spoken]
I've tried every concha on the Eastside to bring you the Beat's ten best
Number one is Delia's Panaderia
What's Delia's secret? Lard!

[NEWSPAPER EDITOR]
People don't wanna read about lard

[ANA]
Right, uh, cut that
But the rest?

[NEWSPAPER EDITOR]
Great, love the list
Lists are great for us
Trust me, the future of journalism is going to be nothing but lists

[ANA]
Wait! Where'd you get that?

[HENRY]
I see you bringing in the pastries to get lead on a story
But I can hustle too, so it's on
Oh, these are so good!

[ANA]
No, those conchas were for—

[FACTORY LADIES]
Strugglin', strugglin', strugglin', strugglin', strugglin'

[CARMEN, spoken]
Y where is the conchas you promised us?

[ANA]
They got jacked

[FACTORY LADIES]
(groan)
Ah, c'mon

[ESTELA]
Could you sew any slower?

[ANA]
I'm sure I could

[CARMEN]
Give me that, I'll work, Catalina, you go iron

[FACTORY LADIES, sung]
The grind don't stop

[ANA, spoken]
Iron, got it

[ESTELA]
Did you call the landlord about the broken fan?

[FACTORY LADIES, sung]
Don't let the ball drop

[ANA, spoken]
He said to write him—

[ESTELA]
So? You wanted to be a writer...

[FACTORY LADIES, sung]
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop

[NEWSPAPER EDITOR, spoken]
Ana? I need that story about the lost dog

[FACTORY LADIES, sung, overlapping]
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop

[ANA]
On it!

[ANA, FACTORY LADIES]
How the hell do they get through it? (Ah, ah)
I can barely stay awake (Ah, ah)
Feels impossible to do it (Ah, ah)
How will I coordinate? (Coordinate, coordinate...)

[FACTORY LADIES]
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop

[NEWSPAPER EDITOR, spoken]
This, interns, is how you write a story!
It's moving, not too cerebral, and delivered on time
Good work, Ana García
I'm making you lead on the Wilson interview
You'll back her up

[ANA]
Wilson, as in running for Congress Wilson? That's a real story!

[NEWSPAPER EDITOR]
I'm trusting you

[FACTORY LADIES, sung]
Jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin'

[ANA]
I think I'm getting the hang of it!

[FACTORY LADIES]
Jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin', jugglin'

[ANA]
I'm finally feeling the groove...

[FACTORY LADIES, ANA]
Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin'
Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin' (I think I'm starting to get it)
Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin'
Ju-ju-jugglin', ju-ju-ju-jugglin' (I think I'm learning to move)

The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop (Do it, do it, do it, do it)
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball drop (Do it, do it, do it, do it)
The grind don't stop, don't let the ball— (Do it...)

[ALL]
Drop!
