Manolo

Meet me at the bridge at dawn.

Maria

I can't, Manolo. My father won't...

Manolo

Please, Maria. I beg you.

(Maria agrees, Manolo slides down the streetlamp, Xibalba watches Manolo running for the Proposal Tree.)

If she meets him alone, I will lose the wager. (summons his two-headed snake) Fix this for me, old friend.

Manolo

I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!

He did WHAT?!

Manolo

Yeah! With a two-headed snake!

(La Muerte starts to boil with rage)

You might wanna cover your ears right now.

XIIIIIIII...BAAAAALLLLLLL...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (engulfs the Land of the Forgotten in light)

(suddenly appears when the brightness faded)

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)

(suspicious)

What...medal?

The..... one I never gave him. Ever at all. Never. Who is this Joaquin?

(grabs Xibalba)

You gave Joaquin the Medal of Everlasting Life?!

Yes.

Manolo

"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?

Carlos

Manolo. Manolo! Get up!

Manolo
(Manolo wakes up after Carlos and Anita for not killing it)

I'm sorry, Papa...

Carlos

Do not make it worse by apologizing! A Sanchez man never apologizes... EVER!

Anita
(sadly)

i’m sorry, Manalo. I’m afraid your father’s right.

Manolo

If being a bullfighter means, it means killing the bull... well, then I'm no bullfighter.

Carlos

No... You are no Sanchez!!
(Carlos walks away with a saddened Anita with a wheelchair leaving Manolo for not killing the bull)

Joaquin

What did you do Manolo?

Manolo

There was a snake and...

Joaquin
(Manolo holds Maria's dead body to Joaquin)

She's gone... (Posada's men are shock and General Posada rushes to Joaquin) WHY DIDN'T YOU PROTECT HER?!

(shocked)

Maria! Oh, no... Oh, no!

(General holds Maria Posada's dead body and gets angry at Manolo) (angered)

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...

Manolo
(General Posada sadly walks away with Maria's dead body making Joaquin mad at Manolo's fault)

It should had been me.

Joaquin

Yes. It should have.
(Joaquin walks away making Manolo feel despair in the rain)

Manolo

I will never see her again...

(Manolo kneels in sadness until Xibalba disguises as an old man behind)

Are you certain?

(thunder strikes revealing Xibalba's shadow over Manolo)

Do you want to see Maria again?

Manolo

With all my heart...

(Xibalba reveals himself)

Think about what you say, boy.

Manolo
(Manolo looks at Xibalba in sadness, thunder claps revealing a skeleton form, looking at his guitar reading: "Always play from the heart- ❤ Maria")

With all... my... heart...

Done. (snaps his fingers)

Manolo
(Xibalba's snake staff bites Manolo and dies)

Maria...

Sanjay
(Manolo dies after bitten by Xibalba's snake staff)

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Manolo, too?

Goth Boy

What is it with Mexicans and death?!

Sasha
(sadly)

But it can't end like this. Can it?

(comforting Sasha)

Oh, my sweet child, this is not the end.

Oh, thank goodness! It's a miracle!

Nuns

Thank you! (Father Domingo and his nuns are singing cheerfully)

Maria

I'm... I'm.... (cut to the Land of the Remembered)

Manolo

....Alive. (The Sanchez family and the others are shocked at Manolo)

Cheers.

Manolo

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?

Manolo

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...

Manolo

La Muerte! I need a word for you, my lady!

(gasps and faces Manolo and his crew)

Manolo? But how did you get here?

Manolo

I had some help. (shows his crew)

(giggles)

Hey there.

Candle Maker! Carmen! And the head of Luis? (snaps her fingers and puts Luis' body)

Luis

Great! My arthritis is back.

Manolo

I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!

He did WHAT?!

Manolo

Yeah! With a two-headed snake!

(La Muerte starts to boil with rage)

You might wanna cover your ears right now.

(screaming loudly)

XI-BAL-BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! (engulfs the Land of the Forgotten in light)

(suddenly appears when the brightness faded)

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)

(suspicious)

What... medal?

The, uhh... one I never gave him. Ever at all. Never. Who is this Joaquin?

(grabs Xibalba)

You gave Joaquin the MEDAL OF EVERLASTING LIFE?!

Yes...?

Manolo

"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!

Manolo

Come on! I... I have to go back!

Hmm... It's only fair. (Xibalba groans and turns his back) Please, Balby?

Manolo, Carmen, Luis, and Candle Maker

"Balby"?!

No, never.

You better do this!

No.

Manolo

Hey, what about a wager?

La Muerte and Xibalba

A wager?

Manolo

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.

Manolo

You name the task, anything you want, and I will beat you. What?! Are you afraid you might lose?!

Watcha doin', kid?

Manolo

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.

Maria

Manolo?! (Manolo hands out his hand then sweeps Maria to the side and kisses her with passion)

Chakal
(growles, Manolo puts his finger up while kissing Maria (his dream)

, Manolo is finally done kissing Maria and stands her back up while she is still in shock, he looks at her satisficed)

Manolo

Hold this for me, amigo. (Manolo tosses his guitar to Joaquin, Joaquin catches)
