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

Frida

Manny, I'm sorry.

For being a selfish jerk who cared more about being a rock star than she did about her best friend?!

Frida

Well, yeah. And for this. [kicks the "I" off, letting Manny fall while he screams]

Frida's goggles! NOOOOOOOOO! [Frida lands on top of him] You're okay. And I'm not.

Frida

Yeah, I… [gasps] My goggles! NOOOOOOOOO! Haven't I paid enough for my rock star jerkiness?!

Uh, no.

Grandpapi

Leave Miracle City (forever)? I was going to say we wash their cars for a month.

Manny

I don't know what happened, I just got caught up in the moment and… [grabs his grandfather by the arm] we really gotta win this race!

Grandpapi

Oh, we going to win. Check this out. [presses a button on the remote, opening the garage door] The Rivera-mobile!

Manny

Whoa.

And I got us the best mechanic churros can buy.

Frida

Dude, this car's all full of, like, parts and junk.

Manny

Frida, you don't know anything about cars.

Frida

It's okay, I got two assistants. [gesturing to Señor Chapi and Little Mule]

Manny

Eeh… Yeah.

The bridge is up and we're not going fast enough to jump it! Frida, we have to make it! Everything's writing on this!

Frida

I know, I know! Now which button…

FRIDA!

Frida

Trying!

Frida

STOP THE CAR!

Grandpapi

No time for donkey potty!

Frida

Not that. [points to the white sewer gator up ahead] THAT!

Manny

Battle stations, Suárez. It's time for… Fudgement Day!

Frida

T-minus 3, 2, 1, FUDGE!

Manny

Raul, the world's greatest mustache! I haven't seen you since our big adventure. [smiles dreamily as he remembers the events from "The Mustache Kid" when Raul was first created] What? The police are after you? But… Hide, Raul!

Frida

Hi, Dad. What do you think of Manny's new look?

Manny

Hey, you can't… [painfully] YOW!!!!

Emiliano

You're coming with us, hairball!

Manny

[demanding] Let him go!

Emiliano

This mustache committed a major felony. Last night, some fiend stole the jewel-encrusted mace belonging to Municipal President Rodriguez. We found this. [holds up some mustache wax] Mustache wax, Raul's brand, and he was fleeing the scene. This mustache is going to jail for a long time!

Manny

He'd never do something like that!

Frida

We would, but not Raul.

Manny

[determined] I'll prove Raul is innocent! He and I will go undercover in the Mustache Mafia and find the mace.

Frida

You're doing what now?

Manny

I can handle those mop pinheads. What's the worse that could happen?

Hey, before you go, I think I figured a less painful way for you to get off my face. [Raul springs from Manny's face and flies away] For once, would you… [painfully] YOOOOOOOOOWW!!!!! [falls on his back and passes out]

Frida

[laughs] That never stops being funny.

Frida

[alarmed in horror] Sartana of the Dead!

Rodolfo

[fiercely] You dare intrude upon my father's special day?! [he and Manny change into White Pantera and El Tigre, preparing to take her down]

Grandpapi

You're making a mistake!

Don't worry, we'll get rid of this filthy garbage before your fiancée gets here. [he and his father start charging at Sartana together]

Grandpapi

[gets in the way, defending her] NO! [Manny and Rodolfo crash into him] You no understand. This filthy garbage, she is my fiancée! [Sartana waves sweetly and they both hold hands]

[dreamily] Pumey, the love of my afterlife.

[not believing it; shocked] It's like a horrible dream.

Frida

Or a really romantic nightmare.

Grandpapi

[as Rodolfo peeks out the door, seeing if there's a pony] There's no pony!

Frida

[sitting at another table with Manny and two of Sartana's skeleton bandits] Man, I hate sitting at the kids-and-skeletons table.

ARE YOU ALL NUTS?! This is Sartana of the Dead, our most dangerous enemy! We have to stop this!

Maria

It is Grandpapi's decision. We must respect it, no matter how unsafe, demented, and revolting it is.

Grandpapi

Thank you.

Manny, I hope that one day you will call me, Grandmami.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…!!! [continues screaming as time goes by and stops] Whoa, how long have I been screaming?

Frida

Eh, a couple hours. We tried to stop you for while, but everyone got tired and went to bed.

Sartana's up to something. This is all a plan to destroy Grandpapi. We will drive a wedge between them and stop the wedding. This I swear!

Lady Gobbler

I here to play the darts!

Yeah? What kind of loot you got?

Lady Gobbler

[takes her glass eye off her face and sets it down on the table] This! I bet my glass eye against… your El Tigre belt.

My belt? Psh. For that? [starts to walk away] Forget it.

Lady Gobbler

You Riveras are chicken!

Manny

[takes off his El Tigre belt and sets it down on the table in fury, having to have heard that] My belt against your eye! One dart!

Frida

But, Manny, you stink without your Tigre powers.

Manny

Family honor will guide my aim. [throws the dart at a photo of Dr. Psyclopsis, missing the target; shaking his fist] CURSE YOU, FAMILY HONOR!

Frida

Dude, you rule the arcade. You're like a genius… except for your brain.

Manny

I owe it all to thumb push-ups.

Rodolfo

Manny, I thought you were in your room sick! What's going on here?!

Manny

It's not what it looks like.

Grandpapi

It looked like you forget you sneaked out, so you no bother to sneaky back in.

Manny

Oh, then it is what it looks like.

Manny

The Day of the Dead was cool when I was little, but now it's just goofy. I don't wanna hurt their feelings, but… Sprits? Land of the Dand? Give me a break. [his stomach growls] What is it about skipping dinner that always makes me hungry?

Frida

You got me. Good thing there's tons of delicious food right here.

Manny

Frida, we can't eat my dad's sacred offerings that… [gasps] Is that real imitation crab? Mmm… Just a nibble.
