[noticing Manny looking really upset] Dude, why so mopey? You're acting like they just outlawed churros. [gasps] They didn't, did they?
Manny[ashamed] (No.) My dad is super mad at me. I totally been messing up with him lately.
Do tell. [grabs and pulls him by the collar; shouting in demand] I SAID TELL!
Manny
Okay, okay! Like, yesterday, me and Dad were doing a little crime-fighting.
[Flashback to yesterday at Miguel's Jewels… Dr. Chipotle Sr. emerges from the vault with a handful of gold and jewelry, and sees White Pantera facing him]
You do not have a chance. Dr Chipotle Sr's son is sneaking up behind you.
WPWhite Pantera/Rodolfo
That's where you're wrong. Because my son has taken care of him. Right, Manny? Manny?
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[playing a video game] I'm on it, Dad! High Score!
WPWhite Pantera/Rodolfo
[annoyed] Ah, I see. [gets blasted by Dr. Chipotle Jr.]
[Back to the present]
Manny
And later, me and Dad caught El Oso robbing a factory… An underpants factory.
[Cut to another flashback at the Miracle City Underwear Factory]
WPWhite Pantera/Rodolfo
[kicks the doors open] El Oso, drop those drawers! [Manny bursts out in a fit of hysterical laughter; confused] What? What's so funny? [El Oso rises behind him and uses a pair of pink thongs, giving him an atomic wedgie; screams in pain]
[Fade back to the present]
Manny
You try to keep a straight face in a room full of pink thongs.
Dude, preaching to the choir.
Manny
How am I gonna make it up to him?
You could clean your room. [Manny annoyingly looks at her] Sorry, talking crazy.
ETEl Tigre/Manny
Dad, my source says Voltura is robbing the science tower! And if you hurry, you can nab her!
WPWhite Pantera/Rodolfo
This is excellent, Manny! Ooh, and I'll work undercover to protect your source! Ok, be good!
[Manny arrives at the Flock of Fury's headquarters after Black Cuervo asks him to come over for dinner]
[answers the door] Make yourself at home, El Tigre.
Yes, it's so nice to have you here.
Wow. They totally hate you. Don't eat anything.
So, you come here to spy on us?
ETEl Tigre/Manny
No, ma'am. I'm just here to talk about evil. So, uh… committing any good crimes soon?
[to her daughter] $10 says he breaks your heart before dessert.
ETEl Tigre/Manny
I would never do a thing like that. Speaking of things, let's trade crime plans.
You're just jealous because a Rivera actually likes me!
You are dating the enemy. Use your head.
Well... Maybe you're just not cut out to be a supervillain.
[At the Rivera House… Manny talks to Frida about Black Cuervo saying he's the best friend she's ever had by standing up for her]
ETEl Tigre/Manny
She said I'm the best friend she's ever had!
Meanwhile, you're totally stabbing her in the back and stuff. [laughs] But…
That's nothing compared to how upset your dad's gonna be when he finds out what you've done.
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[gulps nervously; guilty] You're right, Frida. I've gotta tell 'em both the truth.
[heartbroken and deceived after Manny confesses about using her as a pawn to date her into tipping off his father] How could you?! [starts attacking him with fury] I thought you liked me, but you were just… USING ME!
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[whispering a little quicker] Cuervo, you're totally right. I'm sorry I treated you so lousy, but I'm going to make it up to you.
ETEl Tigre/Manny
This fight. I'm going to let you win.
[enraged in shock] LET ME WIN?!
So, zombies cannot dance, eh? [all the zombies complain offensively] Now, El Tigre… We will show you the error of your ways.
[All the zombies dance and end with a pyramid pose]
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[amazed] Woo-hoo! Man, I was totally wrong about you guys! That was awesome!
ANAnita & Nikita
Papa, why is Frida so weird?
Your sister is not weird. She is… different… from us.
[heartbroken] Different? I'm different? [starts tearing up]
Manny
Come on, you've got plenty in common with your family.
ETEl Tigre/Manny
Check out what's at the museum… The Golden Mustache of the Pharaohs. The Mustache Mafia are totally gonna… [notices Frida looking really sad and upset] Hey, what's wrong?
Nothing. It's just… lying to my dad like this…
ETEl Tigre/Manny
Oh, you feeling a little guilty?
No, of course not. Guilty, me? [laughs] I laugh. Guilt slides off me like water off a duck's back. A filthy, stinking, no-good duck who lies to her dad!
WPWhite Pantera/Rodolfo
Manny, as your father, it is my job to keep you safe. I'm afraid I must forbid you to fight giant robots!
[Zoom out to show them fighting Giant Robot Sanchez]
ETEl Tigre/Manny
Aw, Dad, just one more?
ETEl Tigre/Manny
Adios, Giant Robot Sanchez! [gives Robot Sanchez a mighty punch]
GRGiant Robot Sanchez
BO-BO-BEEP.
WPWhite Pantera/Rodolfo
Now clean up this mess! And when you get home, we will have our 700 talk about crime-fighting safety, but LOUDER this time! [walks away]
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[frustrated] Why is he always so worried about my safety when I never even think about it?
