I did no such thing! (La Muerte grabs Xibalba's two-headed snake and turns it back into a staff) Oh, that. It has a mind of its own...or two.

Watcha doin', kid?

Do we have a deal?
Xibalba:
We have a deal. Now, tell me, boy... What keeps you up at night? What eats you on the inside? What, do tell, is your worst fear? Got it.

People said I was the greatest bullfighter in our family's history, but it is you, my son, who'll be the greatest Sanchez ever! They will write songs about you.
Young Manolo:
And I will sing them!

Wait, what?
Young Manolo:
(laughs nervously) I will sing them?
Carlos:
(sighs) Son, music is not work fit for a Sanchez bullfighter.
Young Manolo:
But I want to be a musician.
Carlos:
No, you must focus. Your training begins at once. Your grampa, Luis, taught me when I was about your age.
Young Manolo:
Wait, isn't that when that bull put you in a coma?
Carlos:
Ah, memories. My only son fighting angry, thousand-pound beasts. The family tradition continues.
