Coco

Mariachi: [impatient] Ay, ay, ay, muchacho. Mariachi: Look, if I were you, I'd march right up to my family and say, "Hey! I'm a musician, deal with it!". Miguel: I could never say that. Mariachi: You are a musician, no? Miguel: I-I-I don't know. I mean... I only really play for myself. Mariachi: Nah! Did de la Cruz become the world's best musician by hiding his sweet, sweet skills? No! He walked out onto that plaza and he played out loud! [spots something] Ah, mira, mira! They're setting up for tonight! The music competition for Día de Muertos! You wanna be like your hero? You should sign up! Miguel: Uh-Uh, my family would freak! Mariachi: Look, if you're too scared, then, well...have fun making shoes! [pauses; to Miguel] Come on, what did de la Cruz always say? Miguel: "Seize your moment"? Mariachi: [showing his guitar] Show me what you got, muchacho. I'll be your first audience. [Miguel takes the guitar and is about to play when...] Elena: [in the distance, furious] MIGUEL! Miguel: A

Elena: Don't give me that look. Día de los Muertos is the one night of the year our ancestors can come visit us. We've put their photos on the ofrenda so their spirits can cross over. That is very important. If we don't put them up, they can't come. We made all this food, set out the things they loved in life, mijo. All this work to bring the family together. I don't want you sneaking off to who knows where. [catches him trying to sneak away] Where are you going? Miguel: I thought we were done. Elena: Ay, Dios mio. Being part of this family means being here for this family. I don't want to see you end up like-- Miguel: Like Mamá Coco's papá? Elena: Never mention that man! He's better off forgotten.

Miguel: [hiding Dante and his DIY guitar under the ofrenda] Get under! Get under! Elena: [enters the ofrenda room with Enrique and Luisa] Miguel? Miguel: [turns around] Nothing! [smiles nervously] Mama, Papa, I… Enrique: Miguel, your Abuelita had the most wonderful idea. We've all decided… it's time you joined us in the workshop! [puts a leather apron on him] Miguel: What?! Enrique: No more shining shoes. You will be making them! Every day after school! Elena: Our Migueli-ti-ti-ti-to carrying on the family tradition! And on Dia de los Muertos! Your ancestors will be so proud! You'll craft huaraches just like your Tía Victoria. Enrique: And wingtips, like your Papá Julio! Miguel: But what if I'm no good at making shoes? Enrique: Ah, Miguel. You have your family here to guide you. You are a Rivera. And a Rivera is... Miguel: A shoemaker. Through and through.

Elena: What is all this? You keep secrets from your own family?! Berto: It's all that time he spends in the plaza. Gloria: Fills his head with crazy fantasies! Miguel: It's not a fantasy! That man was Ernesto de la Cruz! [gives Enrique the photo of Imelda, young Coco and the unidentified man] The greatest musician of all time! Enrique: We've never known anything about this man! But whoever he was, he still abandoned his family. This is no future for my son. Miguel: But Papa, y-you said my family would guide me. Well, de la Cruz is my family. I'm supposed to play music. Elena: Never! That man's music was a curse! I will not allow it! Miguel: But if you would just let-- Luisa: [sternly] Miguel. Enrique: You will listen to your family. No. More. Music. Miguel: [picks up the guitar] Just listen to me play! Enrique: [unconvinced] End of argument. Elena: [holding the guitar] You want to end up like that man? Forgotten? Left off your family's ofrenda?! Abuelita: [smashes the guitar against th

Miguel: [recognizing the skeletons of his family members] Tía Rosita? Rosita: Sí. Miguel: Papá Julio? Julio: Hola! Miguel: Tía Victoria? Victoria: He doesn't seem entirely dead. Rosita: He's not quite alive either. Julio: We need Mama Imelda. She'll know how to fix this. Oscar: [off-screen] Oye! [runs up to them with his twin brother, Felipe] It's Mama Imelda! Felipe: She couldn't cross over! Oscar: She's stuck! Felipe: On the other side! Miguel: Tío Oscar? Tío Felipe? Oscar: Oh. Hey, Miguel. [he and his twin brother both gasp] Victoria: I have a feeling this has something to do with you. Rosita: But if Mama Imelda can't come to us… Julio: Then we are going to her. Vamanos!
