The Book of Life Page #6

Vamos, toro. Venga.

You can do it!

Are you two all right?

Chakal is coming!

With a whole army behind him!

You boys warn General Posada.

I will buy you some time.

Who wants to go first?

I hate bullfighters.

Then come and get some.

Manolo! Get out of there!

What is happening?

- Carlos!

- Carmen!

Manolo! Your father is here!

Pap?

Chakal and his men are at

the gates of San Angel!

Man, this is a whole lot of bull.

Maria Posada...

do you take Joaquin to be your husband?

Yes. For San Angel, I do.

And Joaquin... do you take

Maria to be your wife?

I...

Chakal is here!

My medal. It's on my other suit.

I gotta go.

But Joaquin is the only one

who can defeat Chakal.

We can fight them together, Pap.

Toro! Toro, venga!

Venga, torote. Venga.

Get up and fight like a Sanchez!

Mama? What are you doing here?

Cholesterol.

Everyone! Listen up!

I know you're scared,

but look around you.

- Do you know what I see?

- No.

I see proud people ready to

fight for their beloved town.

And I see that inside each of you is

a strength that cannot be measured.

Yes... even in you, Pepe.

This Day of the Dead

will never be forgotten!

We will teach Chakal that he's

messing with the wrong town.

San Angel... I swear by those before us,

we will not fall! Not today.

Medal!

Not ever! Now, who's with me?

You are like the son I never had!

But much prettier!

Hey, Chakal! Why don't you

pick on someone your own size?

Because no one's that big, man.

- Where have you been?

- Thank goodness you're...

Hey! Soldier boy.

You give me that medal. Right now!

All this is about a stupid medal?

- Are you kidding me?

- Not now, Maria. It's Joaquin time.

Joaquin!

Joaquin!

Hey, buddy, let's talk about this.

Joaquin!

Joaquin?

Toro! Venga, toro!

- The beast is out!

- Time to finish this.

Yeah!

Finish him! Finish him!

What is he doing?

Toro, I am humbled

for tonight, I understand

Your royal blood was never meant

to decorate this sand

You've suffered great injustice

so have thousands before you

I offer an apology and one long overdue

I am sorry

Toro, I am sorry

Hear my song and know I sing the truth

Although we were bred to fight

I reach for kindness

in your heart tonight

And if you can forgive

And if you can forgive

Love can truly live

And if you can forgive

and if you can forgive

Love can truly live

And if you can forgive

and if you can forgive

Love

Love will truly live

- He did it!

- Yes, he did.

Yeah. I'll give him that.

- But how did Manolo do this?

- He's a Sanchez.

Xibalba had been wrong.

Manolo's fear was never bullfighting.

I told you, a Sanchez

man never apologizes.

- Pap, I...

- But you just changed that.

I should have been a better father.

I am very sorry.

No. You only wanted

what was best for me.

I'm so proud of you, son.

- I love you, Pap.

- Ay, mijo.

And at that moment,

Manolo conquered his greatest fear...

being himself.

In accordance with the ancient rules...

we give you life.

Be careful up there, mijo.

Please, Chakal... just don't hurt them.

Yes. Yes! The medal is mine!

What?

Manolo?

Hold this for me, amigo.

So, my father tells me

you hate bullfighters.

I hate everybody.

Yeah. Yeah, mang.

Okay. Let's do this.

You and what army?

It's the Day of the Dead, Manolo.

And on our day,

we have a certain amount of...

- Leeway.

- Good luck!

Thank you!

- No retreat.

- No surrender!

He gonna do it now!

Familia Sanchez, al ataque.

Ay, ay, ay, ay

Canta y no llores

Porque cantando se alegran

Los co...

...razones

We should get that guy for the band.

- Now, is your turn!

- Okay, I sing good, too.

I was like, "I think you look good.

I like your hair."

And he was like, "I like your hair."

Are you wearing my boots?

They look better on me.

Come here, lover boy!

Medal!

Thank you

Hold me!

Chakal! We found the medal!

My comrades.

Unleash the fury!

Qu?

- I'm done playing!

- I got it. I got this.

No, no, no! I got this!

Did I tell you I also studied kung fu?

- Enough!

- Look out!

Let go of me!

Get me my medal, or your woman will pay!

Men. Typical!

- Go find the medal.

- But Maria...

Find the medal. I'll handle this.

Got it. Joaquin!

I save you, little Sanchez!

Good luck, Manolo!

Kick his butt, grandson.

- Epa! Where do you think you're going?

- I have to get up there!

I was right! You have become

the greatest Sanchez ever!

- Care to dance, seorita?

- I thought you'd never ask.

Pretty good, guitarrista.

Now it's your turn!

Watch out, sisters! Save yourselves!

Hi, Maria!

Hi!

I'm taking this whole town with me!

No more shadows, Dad.

No retreat?

No surrender.

- Manolo, the column!

- I got it.

No. No!

Hey!

- Don't stop fighting for what's right.

- Wait, what?

Manolo!

Adios, brother.

What is he doing?

Don't forget me.

No!

Chakal is defeated! Retreat!

Manolo?

It's me, mi Amor.

But how did you survive?

Don't look at me.

Joaquin.

You gave me the medal.

You were going to sacrifice

yourself... for me.

I thought it might be time...

to be a true hero.

Like you, Manolo.

Are you all right?

I've never seen more clearly.

It's time to cast our own shadows.

And write our... our own stories.

And so, Joaquin learned

that to be a true hero...

You have to be selfless.

There is one more thing we need to do...

Son.

Do you take Manolo as your husband?

I do.

By the power vested in

us by the Book of Life...

We now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss...

The groom?

She is gonna be a great Sanchez.

And today was a good day... of the Dead.

Well... I believe you've

won the wager, mi Amor.

Along with my heart, all over again.

Ay, Balby.

I'm so sorry, my love.

You deserve better than me.

I know that now.

Will you ever forgive me?

I do.

Husband, how about a song?

As you wish, Mrs. Sanchez.

I will stay by you

Even when we fall

I will be the rock that holds you up

and lifts you high so you stand tall

And I won't let you fall

I won't let you go

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

No matter where you are

no matter where you are

I'll be there

So tear apart these giant hearts

That beat inside us now

Let's give ourselves our promises

of our unending...

Love

And I won't let you fall

I won't let you fall

I won't let you go

I won't let you go

No matter where you are

no matter where you are

I'll be there

I will be there

No matter where you are

No matter where you are

I'll be there

I will be there

No matter where you are

no matter where you are

I'll be there

I'll be there

And the world keeps spinning

and the tales keep turning

and people come, and people go...

but they are never forgotten.

And the one truth we know,

it held true one more time...

that love, true love,

the really, really good kind of love...

never dies.

- Caramba, it gets me every time.

- Okay, kids, closing time.

Your bus should be

outside waiting for you.

Adios, pretty lady!

- Adios, Sasha!
