Most scenes together: Xibalba & Manolo (5), Xibalba & La Muerte (4), Manolo & Maria (3)
Manolo. Manolo! Get up!
Do not make it worse by apologizing! A Sanchez man never apologizes... EVER!
i’m sorry, Manalo. I’m afraid your father’s right.
If being a bullfighter means, it means killing the bull... well, then I'm no bullfighter.
No... You are no Sanchez!!
(Carlos walks away with a saddened Anita with a wheelchair leaving Manolo for not killing the bull)
Oh, thank goodness! It's a miracle!
Thank you! (Father Domingo and his nuns are singing cheerfully)
I'm... I'm.... (cut to the Land of the Remembered)
....Alive. (The Sanchez family and the others are shocked at Manolo)
Cheers.
One bite...? Your snake! It bit me twice! YOU CHEATED! You will pay for this!
In all my years, no one, in any realm... has ever talked to me like that... and survived. So, I ask you... [Xibalba faces Manolo] are you threatening me, boy?
I will expose you to La Muerte! And then you and me can settle things!
You'll never reach her in her new realm... I should know. I rotted there for eons...
Joaquin What did you do Manolo?
There was a snake and...
Joaquin She's gone... (Posada's men are shock and General Posada rushes to Joaquin) WHY DIDN'T YOU PROTECT HER?!
THIS is all your doing! Leave, or so help me! I'll... (thunder claps and gets saddened to Maria) My little girl. What have you done boy? What have you done...
It should had been me.
Joaquin Yes. It should have.
(Joaquin walks away making Manolo feel despair in the rain)
I will never see her again...
Are you certain?
Do you want to see Maria again?
With all my heart...
With all... my... heart...
Done. (snaps his fingers)
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Manolo, too?
What is it with Mexicans and death?!
But it can't end like this. Can it?
La Muerte! I need a word for you, my lady!
I had some help. (shows his crew)
Candle Maker! Carmen! And the head of Luis? (snaps her fingers and puts Luis' body)
Luis Great! My arthritis is back.
I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!
He did WHAT?!
Yeah! With a two-headed snake!
XI-BAL-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (engulfs the Land of the Forgotten in light)
Yes, my dear? (suddenly shocked when he sees Manolo and the group) Oh.
You misbegotten son of a leprous donkey! YOU CHEATED!! AGAIN!!!
I did no such thing! (La Muerte grabs Xibalba's two-headed snake and turns it back into a staff) Oh, that. It has a mind of its own...or two.
That is unforgivable!
Oh, please! I never sent that snake to Maria, and I never gave that medal to Joaquin! (realizes what he just said)
The, uhh... one I never gave him. Ever at all. Never. Who is this Joaquin?
Yes...?
"Medal of Everlasting Life"?
Whoever wears the medal cannot die or be injured. (slaps Xibalba)
Please, may I? (is lifted, and then slaps Xibalba repeatedly) Thank you. (glares at Xibalba as she descends back down)
Uh, can I get a slap, too?
My son did not deserve this!
Come on! I... I have to go back!
Hmm... It's only fair. (Xibalba groans and turns his back) Please, Balby?
"Balby"?!
No, never.
You better do this!
No.
Hey, what about a wager?
A wager?
If I win, you give me my life back.
You have nothing I want.
But I do. If you win, Xibalba, you can rule both realms.
You name the task, anything you want, and I will beat you. What?! Are you afraid you might lose?!
Watcha doin', kid?
Do we have a deal?
We have a deal. Now, tell me, boy... What keeps you up at night? What eats you on the inside? What, do tell, is your worst fear? Got it.
Manolo?! (Manolo hands out his hand then sweeps Maria to the side and kisses her with passion)
Chakal , Manolo is finally done kissing Maria and stands her back up while she is still in shock, he looks at her satisficed)
Hold this for me, amigo. (Manolo tosses his guitar to Joaquin, Joaquin catches)
Do you take Manolo to be your husband?
I do. [Manolo and Maria smile at each other]
Candle Maker By the power vested in us by, The Book of Life..
I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss- [Maria kisses Manolo and sweeps him to the side]
The groom?! [Candle Maker laughs]
She is gonna be a great Sanchez [ Carlos holds back tears]
Manolo?! [Manolo hands out his hand then sweeps Maria to the side and kisses her with passion]
Chakal Manolo Hold this for me amigo [Manolo tosses his guitar to Joaquin][ Joaquin catches]
People said I was the greatest bullfighter in our family's history, bit it is you, my son, who'll be the greatest Sanchez ever! They will write songs about you.
And I will sing them!
Wait, what?
Son, music is not work fit for a Sanchez bullfighter.
But I want to be a musician.
No, you must focus. Your training begins at once. Your grampa, Luis, taught me when I was about your age.
Wait, isn't that when that bull put you in a coma?
Ah, memories. My only son fighting angry, thousand-pound beasts. The family tradition continues.
He's new
Jorge He reminds me of me. (laughs) But less handsome.
I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!
He did WHAT?!
Yeah! With a two-headed snake!
XIIIIIIII...BAAAAALLLLLLL...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (engulfs the Land of the Forgotten in light)
Yes, my dear? (suddenly shocked when he sees Manolo and the group) Oh.
You misbegotten son of a leprous donkey! YOU CHEATED!! AGAIN!!!
I did no such thing! (La Muerte grabs Xibalba's two-headed snake and turns it back into a staff) Oh, that. It has a mind of its own...or two.
That is unforgivable!
Oh, please! I never sent that snake to Maria, and I never gave that medal to Joaquin! (realizes what he just said)
The..... one I never gave him. Ever at all. Never. Who is this Joaquin?
Yes.
"Medal of Everlasting Life"?
Whoever wears the medal cannot die or be injured. (slaps Xibalba)
Please, may I? (is lifted, and then slaps Xibalba repeatedly) Thank you. (glares at Xibalba as she descends back down)
Uh, can I get a slap, too?
Meet me at the bridge at dawn.
I can't, Manolo. My father won't...
Please, Maria. I beg you.
If she meets him alone, I will lose the wager. (summons his two-headed snake) Fix this for me, old friend.
And so, Joaquin learned that to be a true hero...
You have to be selfless.
So then, if my boy marries the girl, I will finally rule the Land of the Dead.
And if my boy marries the girl, you will... (grabs Xibalba's beard) you will stop interfering with the affairs of man!
What?! I can't do that! C'mon, it's the only fun I ever get!
Then the bet is off.
Very well, my dear. By the ancient rules, (Xibalba and La Muerte shake hands) the wager is set.
You never cease to amaze me, mi amor. Such passion.
Anyone can die. These kids, they will have the courage to live.
I'll wager you are right, my love.
That girl is in so much trouble!
Uh-oh.
I'm sorry, Papa. It's just that I-- (María gasps as she looks at Manolo's broken guitar) Manolo's guitar.
María, this rebellious nonsense ends now! You are going to become a proper lady.
Why?
BECAUSE I SAID SO! I'm sending you to Spain. The sisters at the convent of the perpetual flame of purity will straighten you out.
What?!
But, Papa!
No, it is decided. NOW GO HOME!
(María runs away crying)
