Coco2017

[Miguel gasps, Petipa roaring]

Miguel:
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!

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! [marches upstairs]

Imelda: [singing "La Llorona"] 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]
