  • [Iris: What does sueñito mean?] Sueñito? It means little dream.
  • It's the story of a block that was disappearing. Once upon a time, in a faraway land called Nueva York, en un barrio called Washington Heights. Say it, so it doesn't disappear. [Kids: Washington Heights!]
  • "El Sueñito." Pop's little dream.
  • Abuela Claudia never had kids, so she adopted the whole block as her own. Adopted our sueñitos too.
  • You hear that? The voices of the gods.

  • It's creepy quiet. Usually, the One Train's up there, screeching.
  • Usnavi, I'm the girl who paints nails. There's plenty like me, here, and over there.

Nina Rosario

  • Maybe Stanford isn't a way out. Maybe it's a way back. Like Abuela always used to say, asserting our dignity in small ways.
  • Let me just listen to my block.

Benny

  • [sings] I'm making moves. I'm making deals. But guess what? [Usnavi: What?] You still ain't got no skills.
