Narrator: this is where our story begins, on the day that Mexicans call the day of the dead.

-xhibalba: I don't want to continue ruling the kingdom of the forgotten, I really hate that place.
Darling, please, exchange kingdoms with me.
-catrina: hey!, you are there because of your deception, you asked for it with that bet.
-xhibalba: What do you think about making another bet?
-catrina: what do you have in mind?
-xhibalba: look there, the classic human dilemma: two children, best friends.
-catrina: aww, fighting for the love of a girl.
-xhibalba: let's bet on who marries her.
-catrina: ok. I accept.
Con los niños
-Joaquín: don't worry, María. Your hero is here to save you.
-manolo: don't interrupt a guitarist.
-Joaquín: the girl is mine.
-manolo: no! She is mine.
-Maria: No! I don't belong to anyone!
-manolo and Joaquín: wow
-manolo: María, weren't you punished?
-Maria: My father is exaggerating. How would I know that chickens didn't like bathing?
Joaquín se queda solo
-xhibalba: could you give me some of your bread?
-joaquin: no, it's for my father.
-xhibalba: what if we make an exchange? With this medal, no one can hurt you or defeat
you. But there is a cruel bandit who will not rest until he obtains it.
-Joaquin: ok. I accept. Wait, are you talking about jackal? …Where did he go?
Narrator: María goes to Spain to educate herself and become a young lady but before
leaving she gives Manolo a new guitar since his was broken because of her. Years later, on
the day that María returns to San Angel and Joaquín returns from his adventures as the
town's hero, just on the day that Manolo's first shoot takes place.
To conquer María and to show Joaquín that he could, Manolo set out to kill the bull,
something he could not achieve, leaving everyone and his father disappointed except for
one person and that was María who was happy that the bull was still alive.
Narrator: for María's return, her father organized a dinner.
-Maria: How good it is to see each other again, Joaquín. look at that mustache and all those
medals.
-Joaquin: Why don't you tell me a little more about Europe?
-Maria: I loved being there, there was beautiful music and art and books, it was wonderful.
-joaquin: it seems that you have learned a lot, Maria. one day you will make a man very very
happy.
-Maria: Really?
-joaquin: behind a man with a spectacular mustache is a beautiful woman.
-Maria: Yes... and I'm going to cook for him and wash his clothes and fulfill his whims...
-Maria: Are you kidding me!? Is this how you see women? Are we just here to make men
happy?
-Joaquín: well… I don't know
-Maria: I think I lost my appetite. Please, don't get up. if you'll excuse me I have to go check
on Chui, he's my pig, I have to spend time with someone... Civilized, good night.
Con Manolo
-mariachi: they invited the whole town except you.
-manolo: it's over, Joaquín will take her away from me.
-mariachi: what you have to do is play the right song and everything will be fixed and I have
the perfect song: ♪oh baby you♪
le cae algo
-manolo: that really captivated her.
-mariachi 2: hold on to this song, you won't be able to resist it. ♪If you want my body and
think I'm sexy♪
le cae una maceta
-manolo: how romantic, Pepe.
-manolo: I'm going to try... ♪I love you and more than you can imagine...♪
-Maria: Did you think it would be so easy? …Oh, Manolo. hahaha I'm coming down
Narrator: María goes down to return Manolo's guitar and sees Joaquín kneeling.
-Joaquín: María, do you want to marry me?
-Maria: What?
Joaquín: You don't have to worry. I already talked to your father and he said yes.
-Maria: He did what!?
Llega Manolo
-Joaquín: did you also propose to him?
-Maria: No, were you going to do it?
-joaquin: I said it first so go away.
-Maria: You two are behaving like fools.
-manolo: me too?!?!?
-joaquin: later we will fix it.
-manolo: with pleasure.
-Maria: Oh, is that really??
Narrator: Manolo asks María to meet him at dawn at the entrance to the town. Already, in
that place, Manolo kneeling tells her:
-Manolo: I can't give you a ring. I have nothing to give except my love, but I swear to you,
with all my heart, that I will never stop loving you.
-Maria: Ayyy, Manolo, and I will never stop loving you too. I will not stop loving the one who
plays with the heart.
-Maria: Be careful, Manolo! There is a snake!!
-manolo: María!!! Help!! Someone help me, is Maria.
-Joaquin: What happened to María? What did you do to her?
-manolo: there was a snake and...
-joaquin: why didn't you protect her?!!!?
Joaquín se lleva a Maria
-xhibalba: do you want to see María again?
-manolo: with all my heart.
-Xhibalba: done.
Narrator: Manolo dies and arrives in the world of the remembered where he meets with his
family to help him to look for María. Together, they go to where Catrina is, but when they get
there, they meet Xhibalba who explains to them that Catrina was in the kingdom of the
forgotten because she lost the bet because María was going to marry Joaquín to save the
town and Manolo had died. That's when Manolo realizes that Xhibalba had cheated so he
decides to go look for Catrina. He overcomes challenges and with the help of the wax man
they manage to reach Catrina safely.
-manolo: Catrina! I have to talk to you, my lady.
-catrina: Manolo? Carmen And Luis's head? How did you get here?
-manolo: they gave us a hand.
-manolo: I already know about the bet xhibalba cheated.
-catrina: he did what!?
Manolo: yes, with a two-headed snake
-Catrina: xhiiiibaaaaalbaaaaa!!!
-xhibalba: yes, my darling?
-catrina: You misbegotten, son of a leper's donkey. you cheated, again! That's unforgivable!
-xhibalba: I never sent that snake to María and I never gave that medal to Joaquín either.
-catrina: what a medal?
-xhibalba: the one that I never ever gave to him.
-catrina: did you give Joaquín the medal of eternal life?
-manolo: a medal of eternal life?
-catrina: whoever wears the medal cannot die or be injured.
-manolo: please, I have to go back.
-catrina: it's fair. please, balbito.
-manolo: what do you think of a bet? If I win they give me my life back.
-catrina: if you win xhibalba you will rule the two kingdoms.
-manolo: you set the rules and I will beat them.
-Xhibalba: deal done.
Narrator: xhibalba snaps his fingers and they appear in an arena with many bulls.
-Xhibalba: Manolo Sánchez, you have to defeat all the bulls that have been killed by your
entire family. All at once! If you fulfill it, you will live again; if you don't, you will be forgotten
forever.
Narrator: Manolo bravely faces the bulls when, suddenly, all the bulls join together creating a
giant bull. Manolo's father died and appears in the stands giving him the news that the jackal
is at the entrance to the town. This gives him the strength to finish off the bull. At this
moment, Manolo manages to have it in the perfect place to finish it off but When he goes to
grab his sword to kill the bull, he starts singing. After he finishes singing to the bull, it turns
into a thousand petals, then Manolo wins. He wins the bet and gets his life back.
Narrator: Meanwhile, in the world of the living, in the city of San Angel.
-Maria: I know you're scared but do you know what I see? I see people ready to fight for their
people and within all of you there is a strength that cannot be measured. This Day of the
Dead will never be forgotten! We will show Jackal that he messed with the wrong people.
Today we are not going to fall! Not today! Not ever!
-joaquin: jackal, why don't you mess with someone your size?
-Maria: where were you?
-jackal: Hey, little soldier. you're going to give me that medal. now!
-jackal: yes! The medal is mine.
Narrator: at that moment, Manolo appears crossing the floor and takes the medal from jackal
-manolo: my father says you hate bullfighters.
-jackal: I hate everybody.
-Maria: No retreat.
-manolo and Joaquín: No surrender.
Narrator: Then they started to fight against Jackal with the help of the Sánchez family who,
although they were dead, thanks to Catrina and Xhibalba, and since it was the day of the
dead,they were able to come from the dead and help him. In the fight, the medal was lost
and the jackal grabbed María like a hostage.
-Maria: men
-manolo: Joaquín, you look for the medal and I look for María.
Narrator: After Manolo saved María, Jackal got stuck in some rubble of a tower that was
destroyed, so Jackal set off some bombs trying to destroy the entire town. To prevent this,
Manolo and Joaquín plan to make the bell fall on Jackal to stop him. thus stopping the
explosion. Then, at the moment they were going to remove the last column that supported
the bell, Manolo pushed Joaquín.
-manolo: don't stop fighting for what's right.
-Maria: What are you doing?
Manolo: don't forget me Maria.
The bell falls and there is the explosion
-María: nooooo!!!
-Maria: Manolo?
-manolo: I am, my love.
-Maria: But, how did you survive?
-Maria: ah, Joaquín!!
-manolo: you gave me the medal, you were willing to sacrifice yourself for me.
-joaquin: I had to be a true hero like you, Manolo.
-Maria: Are you okay?
-joaquin: I had not seen so well, now let's make our own shadows.
-manolo: and write our own stories.
Narrator: Then María and Manolo got married.
-priest: do you accept Manolo as your husband?
-Maria: I accept.
-priest: Now, we declare you husband and wife. You can kiss... the groom?
Narrator: then, Joaquín learned that to be a hero you must not be selfish, and the world kept
turning and the stories continued, and new life was born and people died, but were never
forgotten and the only truth we know was confirmed once again, that love,the true love,
good, sweet and tender love never dies.
