A scene from Coco 2017
Ernesto
[After Ernesto's crimes are exposed to the Land of the Dead, Ernesto straighten his hair up, unaware that Miguel's family had broadcasted his crimes and turned the audience against him]

Ha, ha! [The audience starts booing at him as he laughs nervously] Please, please, mi familia!

Audience Member #1

Murderer!

Audience Member #2

Get off the stage!

Ernesto

Orchestra! A-1, A-2, A-1... [The conductor breaks his baton in half in contempt, without any words to say; singing] Remember me, though I have to s– [A tomato is thrown at his jacket] Hey! [The audience continues booing as they start throwing food at Ernesto.]

Female Audience Member
[looks up, and points]

Look!

Ernesto
[On one of the jumbotrons, Pepita and Dante fly up onto the building's edge with Miguel on Pepita's back. As Miguel slides down Pepita's wing, the other Riveras hug him. The crowd cheers. Ernesto looks shocked because of his crimes being exposed. With a determined scowl, Pepita walks onto the stage, and growls at Ernesto] [chuckles nervously as he walks backwards while Pepita closes in on him]

Here kitty, Nice kitty, Big kitty. [Pepita roars in Ernesto's face, then headbutts him, sending him flying. She then catches him by his waist as she flies off] Put me down! Please! I'm begging you! Stop it, stop that! [A cameraman follows Pepita] Ow, ow! [Pepita flips him into the air, then smacks him away with her tail. The villainous musician goes flying, then notices something up ahead] No! [screams, then smacks face-first into a large church bell, then lands beneath it. Appearing to be unharmed, he looks up and gasps in horror as the bell falls on top of him… again. As the crowd cheers in jubilant, a skeleton sits beside his wife while holding two ears of corn]

Male Audience Member
[to his wife]

What did I miss?

Miguel
[Back with the Riveras]

Good boy, Dante.

Imelda

Miguel! [they hug each other]

Miguel
[Héctor surges and falls to the ground, his life force nearly gone.]

Héctor! [runs up to him] The photo… I-I-I lost it!

Héctor
[sitting up]

It's okay, mijo. It's... [the surging worsens, spasms more and faints]

Miguel

HÉCTOR! Héctor?!

Héctor
[moans, whispers]

Coco...

Miguel

No, we can still find the photo!

Imelda

Miguel, it's almost sunrise!

Miguel
[The sun begins to rise; Miguel's skeleton transformation has now reached up to his face, Héctor weakly places his hand on his face.]

No, no, no. I can't leave you! I promised I put your photo up! I promised you'd see Coco!

Héctor

We're both out of time, mijo. [surges yet again]

Miguel

No! No! She can't forget you!

Héctor

I just wanted her to know... that I loved her. [takes out a marigold petal, surging once more]

Miguel

Héctor!

Héctor

You have our blessing... Miguel.

Imelda
[holds the petal with Héctor]

No conditions.

Miguel
[The petal glows and they contour it toward Miguel]

No, Papá Héctor! Please!! [The dead Riveras and Dante mourn sadly] No...! [panting sadly]

Héctor

Go home. [smiles and surges one final time]

Miguel

I promise I won't let Coco forget you! [the petal touches him] AHH!!
[A flash of petals, and the view fades to white; Miguel wakes up in the mausoleum and flees for home with the skull guitar in hand.]
