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

[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.

[sighs] What am I going to do with that boy?

Grandpapi

Don't worry, someday Manny will be a truly great villain.

Hero, he'll be a hero!

Frida

So, what now?

Oh, uh, maybe, uhh… Hide Sartana's loot and tell my dad it disappeared?

Frida

Dude, you are an artist.

Frida

[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.

Frida

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.

You do not have a chance. Dr Chipotle Sr's son is sneaking up behind you.

That's where you're wrong. Because my son has taken care of him. Right, Manny? Manny?

[playing a video game] I'm on it, Dad! High Score!

[annoyed] Ah, I see. [gets blasted by Dr. Chipotle Jr.]

Manny

And later, me and Dad caught El Oso robbing a factory… An underpants factory.

[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]

Manny

You try to keep a straight face in a room full of pink thongs.

Frida

Dude, preaching to the choir.

Manny

How am I gonna make it up to him?

Frida

You could clean your room. [Manny annoyingly looks at her] Sorry, talking crazy.

Just heading out to check with my "anonymous source." Who might have information that could help you prevent crimes.

[lowering the newspaper; agitated] Manny… I can't even LOOK at you right now. Seriously, it pulls my hair.

Dad, my source says Voltura is robbing the science tower! And if you hurry, you can nab her!

This is excellent, Manny! Ooh, and I'll work undercover to protect your source! Ok, be good!

Manny, as your father, it is my job to keep you safe. I'm afraid I must forbid you to fight giant robots!

Aw, Dad, just one more?

Adios, Giant Robot Sanchez! [gives Robot Sanchez a mighty punch]

BO-BO-BEEP.

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]

[frustrated] Why is he always so worried about my safety when I never even think about it?

Mom, are you okay? [points to the glove] Get your hand off my mom!

Maria

Manny, it's not what you think.

Maria, you said the glove was destroyed in the jaws of the Robasura.

Maria

I thought it was. [Flashback to the events of "A Mother's Glove", when the glove lands in the Robasura and gets crushed by its jaws after its battle with Manny; voice-over] But a few days later, it showed up on my doorstep, hurt and scared. I just couldn't turn it away. As I nursed it back to health, I realized the glove was good inside. Tests in my home lab showed that if I wore the glove for only one hour at a time, I could control the danger mania. Even a few seconds more, and I become… unstable. So, the glove and I made a deal. [Flashback ends] I will use my Plata Peligrosa powers to help those in need, but when my watch alarm sounds, it must get off my hand. Right, "Glovey?"

That's great, Mom.

Frida

You have a home lab?

Maria

Now, I can help my boys out in a crisis.

[gazing dreamily at her] You called me handsome.

Maria

Rodolfo, don't listen to what I say when I'm wearing the glove. I'm not myself. [Rodolfo puckers up his lips to kiss her; puts her hand on his mouth] You and I always be just friends.

Of course. I understand completely. [Maria walks off] She called me handsome!

Frida

Wow, your mom and dad, a crime-fighting team. Maybe they'll get back together. [imitates kissing while rubbing Señor Chapi's head] Oh, Rodolfo, you're so handsome.

[touched while blushing] Ah, viva pantalones.

Manny

Cut it out, Frida. We both know my parents are better off apart.

Frida

Yeah, but does your dad know?

Manny

Sure he does. Probably. Down deep. Anyway, as long as he keeps his mind off beautifying the city.

What's that noise?

Wind.

Frida

Elephants.

Airplane.

Frida

Thingy-thing.

[looks up and gasps] Maria! [Maria's eyes light up in flames and she suddenly goes completely insane with danger and beats up the monsters, violently; utterly shocked] I have never seen so much grotesque grotesquely. That's not like Maria. It's not love!

[grabs Rodolfo by the collar] You and I belong together, White Pantera! Come on. Spend your life with me, crushing evil, and laughing in danger, and never taking this glove off! [laughs wickedly insane]

You know what's funny? If not for this inexplicable string of crimes and disasters, I would have been beautifying the city with Manny and Frida instead of… giving them lots of money?

Frida

How you doing?

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!
