[After Imelda and Pepita rescues Miguel and Héctor from the cenote pit and reuniting with the rest of the Rivera family]

Imelda:
[hugs Miguel] Mijo, I was so worried! Thank goodness we found you in time! [turns to Héctor angrily] And you, how many times must I turn you away?!

Héctor:
Imelda…

Imelda:
I want nothing to do with you! Not in life, not in death! I spent decades protecting my family from your mistakes. He spends 5 minutes with you and I have to fish him out of a sinkhole.

Miguel:
[gets in front of Héctor] I... I wasn't in there because of Héctor, he was in there because of me. He was just trying to get me home. I didn't want to listen, but he was right. Nothing is more important than family. I'm ready to accept your blessing and your condition, but first I need to find De la Cruz... to get Héctor's photo.

Imelda:
What?

Miguel:
So he can see Coco again. Héctor should be on our offrenda. He's part of our family.

Imelda:
He left this family!

Miguel:
He tried to go home to you and Coco, but De la Cruz murdered him.

[Imelda looks at Héctor in shock]

Héctor:
It's true, Imelda.

Imelda:
And so what if it's true?! You leave me alone with a child to raise and I'm just suppose to forgive you!?

Héctor:
Imelda, I– [starts to spasm as he surges with gold light, collapse onto his knees]

Miguel:
Héctor?

[Imelda gasps]

Héctor:
[sobs] I'm running out of time. It's Coco.

Imelda:
She's forgetting you.

Miguel:
[helps Héctor up] You don't have to forgive him, but we shouldn't forget him.

[The Rivera family looks on in sadness]

Imelda:
I wanted to forget you. I wanted Coco to forget you too, but–

Héctor:
This is my fault, not yours. I'm sorry, Imelda.

Imelda:
[looks at Héctor, then Miguel] Miguel, if we help get his photo, you will return home? No more music?

Miguel:
Family comes first.

Imelda:
[to Héctor] I... I can't forgive you… but I will help you. [to Miguel] So how do we get to De la Cruz?

Miguel:
I might know a way.
