[The Head Clerk gives Imelda a marigold petal to start her blessing to send Miguel home]
Head Clerk: Now, you look at the living and say his name.
Imelda: [bitterly] Miguel.
Head Clerk: Nailed it! Now say, "I give you my blessing."
Imelda: I give you my blessing. [The marigold petal glows; Miguel is amazed] I give you my blessing to go home... [the petal glows brighter] ...To put my photo back on the ofrenda... [even brighter, Miguel nods] ...And to never play music again!
Miguel: What?! She can't do that!!
Head Clerk: Well, technically, she can add any condition she wants.
Miguel: [frowns] Fine...
Head Clerk: Then you hand the petal to Miguel.
[Miguel takes the petal; in a flash, he's back in the mausoleum. He looks out the window.]
Miguel: No skeletons! [stares smugly at Ernesto's guitar and takes it] Mariachi Plaza, here I come!
[Not even a few steps later, he's back in the Land of the Dead; he is caught by Imelda.]
Imelda: 2 seconds and you already break your promise!
Miguel: This isn't fair, it's my life! You already had yours! [takes Imelda's petal] Papá Julio, I ask for your blessing! [Julio cringes nervously; one by one each dead Rivera resists.] Tía Rosita? Oscar? Felipe? Tía Victoria? [Victoria just shakes her head no]
Imelda: Don't make this hard, mijo. You go home my way, or no way.
Miguel: You really hate music that much?!
Imelda: I will not let you go down the same path he did!
Miguel: [looks at the photo] The same path he did... he did.
Victoria: Listen to your Mamá Imelda.
Oscar: She's just looking out for you.
Rosita: Be reasonable.
Miguel: [stagey] Con permiso, I need to visit the restroom. [exits] Be right back!
Head Clerk: Uh... should we tell him there are no restrooms in the Land of the Dead?
