A scene from Coco 2017
Miguel
[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]

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]
