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

Manny

Why do we have to get all gussied up for dinner?

Maria

Grandpapi has something important to tell us.

Rodolfo

[excitedly] Perhaps he's finally getting me that pony he promised me for my 10th birthday!

A pony? [opens his birthday present, which is revealed to be a cactus pot, gets poked by its thorns while hopping on it, and screams in pain]

Rodolfo

I did say perhaps.

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.

[angrily] Pantera! Hand over your superhero license! [holds out his hand]

[disgraced] I have been slow. I have been clumsy. I have been incompetent. I... [rips out his license in tears] I DON'T DESERVE THIS LICENSE! [places the license in Municipal President Rodriguez's hand and he rips it up]

Flock of Fury, prepare to be plucked!

Lady Gobbler

TIME FOR THE FIGHTINGS! The way you treat me all those years ago was UNFORGIVABLE! [throws an egg bomb at Puma Loco]

[slices the bomb in half, exploding it] Sorry. [fires his missiles at Lady Gobbler]

Lady Gobbler

Oh, Puma. If you live through the fight, you call me, okay?

Voltura

"Prepare to be plucked." Pathetic. No wonder I broke up with you.

Uh, I broke up with you.

Voltura

AS IF I COULD FORGET!

Rodolfo

We'll demolish evil doers with relentless force!

Manny

[Changes into El Tigre] Yeah!

Rodolfo

While discussing your grades, plans for college and your most private feelings!

Manny, my son. Are you ok?

Eh, I think I bit my tongue.

[gasps] NO!!!! [points to the Titan; fiercely] You have done this thing! Your mind is still twisted by jealousy and evil!

I just wanted things to be like the old days, Rodolfo. Please, don't make me do this.

Do what?

THIS! SQUIDS, ATTACK! DESTROY THE RIVERAS!!!

Now, to stop the Titan!

Mira! [points to the Titanium Titan riding on a giant squid]

[laughing evilly] I'll be back! I'll be back! [a whale emerges from the ocean and eats him] It may take a while.

What am I going to do with that boy?

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.

Say hello to my little friends.

Sartana of the Dead? Attacking on the Day of the Dead?! Actually, that makes sense.

[after the deceased Rivera men return to the Land of the Dead] They'll live forever now, because we'll never forget them.

That's right, mijo. No one will.

[chuckles nervously as Sartana stands in front of him] Hey there. Sorry about Django, huh?

Don't worry. He's a fast healer. [strums her mystic guitar, resurrecting her grandson]

[emerging from the lava with lava hands; savagely] El Tigre, you will PAY!

Get ready for play catch, lava bone boy!

No, this is my fight.

But Manny...

Papi, Manny was right. He's not a child anymore. We must let him fight his own battles.

Thus, did El Tigre choose… Evil. With Tigre and Django's help, Sartana was at last able to conquer the world, plucking it like a ripe and succulent fruit… only bigger. Earth's teaming masses were powerless to resist their onslaught. Those who resisted were crushed beneath the iron boot of the Tyrannical Boot of Iron. Before long, El Tigre and Django decided it was finally time for Sartana to retire. [a rocket encases Sartana and blasts off into the sky] And El Tigre decided it was time for Django to retire as well. [another rocket encases Django after Manny shakes his hand, bidding him farewell, and catches his mystic guitar as it blasts off to the moon] And so, El Tigre became the unquestioned ruler of all human kind. His first order of business was to rescue his loved ones from the Miracle City volcano.

Frida

[after Manny uses Django's guitar to free her] Dude, took you long enough.

Well, I've been conquering the world, enslaving human kind. You know how it is.

But of course, as your elders, Papi and I will take control of the world, once you unshackle us.

Grandpapi

Yes, we take your power and hold it for you until you get older, eh?

Gosh, I have left a flan within the oven. We'll be back in five or ten minutes or months.

Frida

Ciao!

Well, you can't rush flan.

Sartana, face the power of… The Riveras! And Frida.

Dropped in the belly of the beast.

There's only one way to escape this monster and destroy Sartana. Our ultimate weapon: the Caliente Catapult of Carnage!

No…it's too dangerous!

I won't risk…my only son!

Dad… I know I messed up. I sent Señor Chapi to bird heaven, and I wrecked the house… twice. But please, let me show you I can be a hero. I will make you proud.
