Xibalba
So then, if my boy marries the girl, I will finally rule the Land of the Dead.
LM La Muerte
And if my boy marries the girl, you will... (grabs Xibalba's beard) you will stop interfering with the affairs of man!
Xibalba
What?! I can't do that! C'mon, it's the only fun I ever get!
LM La Muerte
Then the bet is off.
Xibalba
Very well, my dear. By the ancient rules, (Xibalba and La Muerte shake hands) the wager is set.
Xibalba
You never cease to amaze me, mi amor. Such passion.
LM La Muerte
Anyone can die. These kids, they will have the courage to live.
Xibalba
I'll wager you are right, my love.
Candle Maker
(Xibalba and La Muerte kiss)
Hey, write your own story.
M Manolo
I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!
LM La Muerte
He did WHAT?!
M Manolo
Yeah! With a two-headed snake!
Candle Maker
(La Muerte starts to boil with rage)
You might wanna cover your ears right now.
LM La Muerte
XIIIIIIII...BAAAAALLLLLLL...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (engulfs the Land of the Forgotten in light)
Xibalba
(suddenly appears when the brightness faded)
Yes, my dear? (suddenly shocked when he sees Manolo and the group) Oh.
LM La Muerte
You misbegotten son of a leprous donkey! YOU CHEATED!! AGAIN!!!
Xibalba
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.
LM La Muerte
That is unforgivable!
Xibalba
Oh, please! I never sent that snake to Maria, and I never gave that medal to Joaquin! (realizes what he just said)
LM La Muerte
(suspicious)
What...medal?
Xibalba
The..... one I never gave him. Ever at all. Never. Who is this Joaquin?
LM La Muerte
(grabs Xibalba)
You gave Joaquin the Medal of Everlasting Life?!
Xibalba
Yes.
M Manolo
"Medal of Everlasting Life"?
LM La Muerte
Whoever wears the medal cannot die or be injured. (slaps Xibalba)
Carmen
Please, may I? (is lifted, and then slaps Xibalba repeatedly) Thank you. (glares at Xibalba as she descends back down)
Candle Maker
Uh, can I get a slap, too?
M Manolo
La Muerte! I need a word for you, my lady!
LM La Muerte
(gasps and faces Manolo and his crew)
Manolo? But how did you get here?
M Manolo
I had some help. (shows his crew)
Candle Maker
(giggles)
Hey there.
LM La Muerte
Candle Maker! Carmen! And the head of Luis? (snaps her fingers and puts Luis' body)
L Luis
Great! My arthritis is back.
M Manolo
I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!
LM La Muerte
He did WHAT?!
M Manolo
Yeah! With a two-headed snake!
Candle Maker
(La Muerte starts to boil with rage)
You might wanna cover your ears right now.
LM La Muerte
(screaming loudly)
XI-BAL-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (engulfs the Land of the Forgotten in light)
Xibalba
(suddenly appears when the brightness faded)
Yes, my dear? (suddenly shocked when he sees Manolo and the group) Oh.
LM La Muerte
You misbegotten son of a leprous donkey! YOU CHEATED!! AGAIN!!!
Xibalba
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.
LM La Muerte
That is unforgivable!
Xibalba
Oh, please! I never sent that snake to Maria, and I never gave that medal to Joaquin! (realizes what he just said)
LM La Muerte
(suspicious)
What... medal?
Xibalba
The, uhh... one I never gave him. Ever at all. Never. Who is this Joaquin?
LM La Muerte
(grabs Xibalba)
You gave Joaquin the MEDAL OF EVERLASTING LIFE?!
Xibalba
Yes...?
M Manolo
"Medal of Everlasting Life"?
LM La Muerte
Whoever wears the medal cannot die or be injured. (slaps Xibalba)
Carmen
Please, may I? (is lifted, and then slaps Xibalba repeatedly) Thank you. (glares at Xibalba as she descends back down)
Candle Maker
Uh, can I get a slap, too?
Carmen
My son did not deserve this!
M Manolo
Come on! I... I have to go back!
LM La Muerte
Hmm... It's only fair. (Xibalba groans and turns his back) Please, Balby?
MC Manolo, Carmen, Luis, and Candle Maker
"Balby"?!
Xibalba
No, never.
LM La Muerte
You better do this!
Xibalba
No.
M Manolo
Hey, what about a wager?
LM La Muerte and Xibalba
A wager?
M Manolo
If I win, you give me my life back.
Xibalba
You have nothing I want.
LM La Muerte
But I do. If you win, Xibalba, you can rule both realms.
M Manolo
You name the task, anything you want, and I will beat you. What?! Are you afraid you might lose?!
Candle Maker
Watcha doin', kid?
M Manolo
Do we have a deal?
Xibalba
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.
