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.

Candle Maker (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)
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)
Candle Maker Uh, can I get a slap, too?
La Muerte! I need a word for you, my lady!
I had some help. (shows his crew)

"Balby"?!
No, never.
You better do this!
No.
Hey, what about a wager?
La Muerte and Xibalba
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?!
Candle Maker 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.
