Alanna Ubach movie quotes

View Quote [Miguel was running towards Ernesto's party at his tower in the distance, when Pepita, with Imelda on board, lands in front of him and roars]
Miguel: AAH!
Imelda: This nonsense ends now, Miguel! I am giving you my blessing and you are going home.
Miguel: I don't want your blessing! [runs through an alley and up the stairs]
Imelda: [runs upstairs after Miguel] Miguel! Stop! Come back! Miguel! I'm trying to save your life!
Miguel: [slips through the metal gate trying to escape] You're ruining my life!
Imelda: What?!
Miguel: [angrily] Music's the only thing that makes me happy. And YOU, you WANNA take that away! YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND! [continues marching upstairs]
Imelda: [singing "La Llorona" to prove Miguel wrong] Y aunque la vida me cueste, Llorona / No dejar de quiererte.
Miguel: I-I thought you hated music.
Imelda: Oh, I love it. I remember that feeling - when my husband would play and I would sing, and nothing else mattered, but when we had Coco suddenly, there was something in my life that mattered more than music. I wanted to put down roots. He wanted to play for the world. We each made a sacrifice to get what we wanted. Now, you must make a choice.
Miguel: But I don't wanna pick sides. Why can't you be on my side? That's what families are supposed to do - support you, but you never will. [wipes a tear from his eye and runs off]

View Quote [The Head Clerk gives Imelda a marigold petal to start her blessing to send Miguel home]
Head Clerk: Now, you look at the living and say his name.
Imelda: [bitterly] Miguel.
Head Clerk: Nailed it! Now say, "I give you my blessing.".
Imelda: I give you my blessing. [The marigold petal glows; Miguel is amazed] I give you my blessing to go home... [the petal glows brighter] to put my photo back on the ofrenda... [even brighter, Miguel nods] and to never play music again!
Miguel: What?! She can't do that!
Head Clerk: Well, technically, she can add any condition she wants.
Miguel: [frowns] Fine.
Head Clerk: Then you hand the petal to Miguel.
[Miguel takes the petal; in a flash, he's back in the mausoleum. He looks out the window.]
Miguel: No skeletons! [stares smugly at Ernesto's guitar and takes it] Mariachi Plaza, here I come! [Not even 2 steps later, he's back in the Land of the Dead; he is caught by Imelda.]
Imelda: Two seconds, and you already break your promise!
Miguel: This isn't fair, it's my life! You already had yours! [takes Imelda's petal] Papá Julio, I ask for your blessing! [Julio cringes nervously; one by one, each dead Rivera resists] Tía Rosita? Oscar? Felipe? Tía Victoria? [Victoria just shakes her head, meaning no]
Imelda: Don't make this hard, mijo. You go home my way, or no way.
Miguel: You really hate music that much?!
Imelda: I will not let you go down the same path he did!
Miguel: [looks at the photo] The same path he did... he did.
Victoria: Listen to your Mamá Imelda.
Oscar: She's just looking out for you.
Rosita: Be reasonable.
Miguel: [stagey] Con permiso, I need to visit the restroom. [exits] Be right back!
Head Clerk: Uh... should we tell him there are no restrooms in the Land of the Dead?

View Quote [Backstage at the Sunrise Spectacular, Ernesto bumps into Imelda and the Riveras.]
Ernesto: [to Imelda] Don't I know you?
Imelda: [removes her boot, and hits Ernesto across the skull] That's for murdering the love of my life!
Ernesto: Who?! Who the--
Héctor: [appears around the corner] She's talking about ME! [to Imelda, lovestruck] I'm the love of your life?
Imelda: I don't know! I'm still angry at you.
Ernesto: Héctor?! How did you--?
Imelda: [hits Ernesto with her boot again] And that's for trying to murder my grandson!
Ernesto: Grandson?!
Miguel: [also appears around the corner] She's talking about me!
Ernesto: YOU! [realized] Wait… you're related to Héctor?
Miguel: The photo! [points to Héctor's photo in Ernesto's shirt pocket]
Ernesto: [backs away as the Rivera family glares at him] Uh… [runs off]
Imelda: After him!
