Manny Rivera quotes from El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera

There you are, Aves. Is your project ready to be judged?

Manny

She is ready to be judged. I have an announcement. Zoe Aves is secretly Black Cuervo!

Rodolfo

Manny, I must speak to you, now. [drags him into his room] I arrange for you to meet the Golden Eagle Twins, and you drop a stolen churro truck on them?!

What truck? And it's not my fault.

Rodolfo

[sighs] No, mijo, it isn't. It's my fault. I have been a poor role model. [sniffs sadly] I have failed you. [starts sobbing]

No, Dad, you're the best. But if it'll make you better, I'll hang out with the twins.

Rodolfo

I can always count on you, mijo. Now let's go share the good news.

I can always count on you, mijo! [winks]

Curse you, floating head of guilt. Time to take a stand, Frida. [facing the eagle twins; fiercely] Golden Eagle Twins, you are going down!

Manny

The whole city still loves the twins, and I get blamed for everything. You believe me, right, Dad?

Rodolfo

Yes, mijo, and I am very proud of you.

Manny

You are?

Rodolfo

Of course. You sacrificed yourself for the good of others. It doesn't get much more heroic than that.

Manny

Thanks, Dad. [looks at the police officers, revealing that they're in the prison infirmary] Um, could you tell that to these guys?

Manny

Only one sack of glitter left!

SWINE! Get your hands off my glitter!

Manny

It's mine!

Mine!

Manny

Mine!

Mine!

Manny

MINE!

YOU WILL PAY FOR… [sighs depressingly] What's the point? May last hope for Father's Day is gone. And my father is already in a rotten mood. Because he keeps getting defeated by YOUR FATHER!!!

Manny

Yeah, my dad's in a lousy mood, too.

[romantically to Frida] Why, Miss Suárez. I must say you are looking lovely today.

Manny

Oh, now I won't even have a lame present for my dad.

Grandpapi

Manny, what's wrong?

Manny

I got busted at school... again.

Frida

Turns out, teachers don't like it when you put plastic wrap over the faculty toilet bowls.

[getting the silver scorpion out of the display case] You don't look so cursed to me.

Manny

[catches him; heartbroken] Grandpapi? You… You lied to me? You didn't come to school to help me. You were after the scorpion all along.

Manny, no, I can explain!

Vice Principal Chakal

[also catching him] Ah-ha! I knew it! Enjoy the antarctic swamp, Rivera!

Manny

NO BELT!

Rodolfo

NO BOOTS!

Grandpapi

NO BRERO!

Manny

El Ti-Tera.

Rodolfo

White Loco.

Grandpapi

Puma Tigre. Ooh, I have a tail.

Very good.

Well rockin'!

Now that was family fun!

Yes, mijo.

Frida

[lands in Manny's hands] Kiss me, you fool! [kisses him in the lips]

Familia forever!
