[Miguel makes it to Coco's room; she is sitting in her wheelchair staring into space.]
Miguel: Mamá Coco, can you hear me? It's Miguel. I saw your papá. Remember? Papá? Please, if you forget him, he'll be gone, forever!
[Coco doesn't respond]
Papá: [from outside, banging door] Miguel, open this door!
Miguel: [showing Hector's guitar] Here, this was his guitar, right? He used to play it to you? See, there he is. [No answer] Papá, remember? Papá?
Papá: [from outside] MIGUEL!
Miguel: [begging] Mamá Coco, please don't forget him!
[The door opens, and the Riveras enter.]
Abuelita: What are you doing to that poor woman?! [comforts Coco] It's okay, Mamita. It's okay.
Papá: What's gotten into you?! [Miguel begins to cry, hugs Papa; Papá embraces him.] I thought I'd lost you, Miguel...
Miguel: I'm sorry, Papá.
Mamá: We're all together now, that's what matters.
Miguel: Not all of us...
Abuelita: It's okay, mamita. [At Miguel, angry] Miguel, you apologize to your Mamá Coco!
Miguel: [walks over to Coco] Mámá Coco... [stubs his foot against Héctor's guitar and gets an idea.]
Abuelita: Well… apologize!
Miguel: [holding up the guitar] Mamá Coco? Your papá, he wanted you to have this... [begins strumming; Abuelita tries to intervene, but Papa stops her.]
Papá: Mamá, wait.
[Miguel starts playing "Remember Me".]
Miguel [sings, tearfully]: Remember me, though I have to say goodbye.
Remember me, don't let it make you cry
Mamá: Look!
[Coco begins to slowly lift her head.]
Miguel: For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart.
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart.
Remember me, though I have to travel far
Miguel and Coco [singing along]: Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar
Know that I'm with you, the only way that I can be until you're in my arms again.
Remember... me.
[Coco smiles, memory recovered; Abuelita begins to cry.]
Coco: Elena? What's wrong, mija?
Abuelita: Nothing, Mamá. Nothing at all.
Coco: [to Miguel] My papá used to sing me that song.
Miguel: He loved you, Mamá Coco. Your papá loved you so much.
[Coco smiles and opens the drawer on her nightstand, taking out a notebook.]
Coco: I kept... his letters... poems he wrote me... and... [skims through the book until she reveals a ripped up piece of paper. It's the missing part of the photo from the ofrenda, Héctor's face, which Miguel matches with.] Papá was a musician… when I was a little girl; He and Mamá would sing such beautiful songs... [continues talking as the Riveras listen]
