Dialogue
- (General Posada looks at the mess that María set the animals free)
- General Posada: That girl is in so much trouble!
- Young María: Uh-oh.
- General Posada: (yelling) MA-RI-A!!!
- Young María: (to General Posada) I'm sorry, Papa. It's just that I-- (María gasps as she looks at Manolo's broken guitar) Manolo's guitar.
- Young Manolo: (gasps)
- General Posada: María, this rebellious nonsense ends now! You are going to become a proper lady.
- Young María: (confused) Why?
- General Posada: BECAUSE I SAID SO! I'm sending you to Spain. The sisters at the convent of the perpetual flame of purity will straighten you out.
- All: What?!
- Young María: But, Papa!
- General Posada: No, it is decided. NOW GO HOME!
- (María runs away crying)
- Carmelo: He's new
- Jorge: He reminds me of me. (laughs) But less handsome.
- 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.)
- Xibalba: If she meets him alone, I will lose the wager. (summons his two-headed snake) Fix this for me, old friend.
- Xibalba: So then, if my boy marries the girl, I will finally rule the Land of the Dead.
- 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!
- 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.
- Mary Beth: And so, Joaquin learned that to be a true hero...
- Jane: You have to be selfless.
- Xibalba: You never cease to amaze me, mi amor. Such passion.
- La Muerte: Anyone can die. These kids, they will have the courage to live.
- Xibalba: I'll wager you are right, my love.
- (Xibalba and La Muerte kiss)
- Candle Maker: Hey, write your own story.
- Carlos: People said I was the greatest bullfighter in our family's history, bit it is you, my son, who'll be the greatest Sanchez ever! They will write songs about you.
- Young Manolo: And I will sing them!
- Carlos: Wait, what?
- Young Manolo: (laughs nervously) I will sing them?
- Carlos: (sighs) Son, music is not work fit for a Sanchez bullfighter.
- Young Manolo: But I want to be a musician.
- Carlos: No, you must focus. Your training begins at once. Your grampa, Luis, taught me when I was about your age.
- Young Manolo: Wait, isn't that when that bull put you in a coma?
- Carlos: Ah, memories. My only son fighting angry, thousand-pound beasts. The family tradition continues.
- Young Manolo: (sarcastically) Yay!
- Manolo: I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!
- La Muerte: He did WHAT?!
- Manolo: Yeah! With a two-headed snake!
- (La Muerte starts to boil with rage)
- Candle Maker: You might wanna cover your ears right now.
- La Muerte: XIIIIIIII...BAAAAALLLLLLL...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
- Xibalba: (suddenly appears) Yes, my dear? (suddenly shocked when he sees Manolo and the group) Oh.
- 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.
- 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)
- La Muerte: (suspicious) What...medal?
- Xibalba: The..... one I never gave him. Ever at all. Never. Who is this Joaquin?
- La Muerte: (grabs Xibalba) You gave Joaquin the Medal of Everlasting Life?!
- Xibalba: Yes.
- Manolo: "Medal of Everlasting Life"?
- La Muerte: Whoever wears the medal cannot die or be injured. [slaps Xibalba]
- Carmen: Please, may I? [slaps Xibalba repeatedly] Thank you.
- Candle Maker: Uh, can I get a slap in, too?
Mary Beth
- And the one truth we know, it held true one more time, that love, true love, the really, really good kind of love... never dies.
