TV show quotes
There is one who has the power to reach the living world, if we can get him to use it: El Tigre.
[Dark Leopard and Mighty Cheetar gasp]
[confused] Wait, who the whats?
The original El Tigre. The first Rivera hero or villain. He never decided which.
Hey, just like you!
The indecision ravaged his mind. He is now naught but a babbling fool.
Hey, just like you!
[Manny frowns]
Riveras, time to visit El Tigre.
Mighty El Tigre, we need your help. Can you get us to Miracle City?
Why should I? [looks up above at the Land of the Living, seeing Rodolfo and Grandpapi in trouble]
Ai-yee! That was my favorite kidney!
Do it for them… White Pantera and Puma Loco. Good or bad, they always respected your memory.
Your time is up, Riveras! Any last words?
Two. Breath… mint.
[gasps in shock when all the deceased Rivera men are back from the dead] All the Riveras back from the dead?! DESTROY THEM, MY BEAST!
The only way we can beat this thing is if we all work together.
The lad is right. Rivera heroes, we attack now!
Attack from front is coward's way. Villains, we sneak up behind.
I said... [shouting] ALL TOGETHER! Well, no one lives forever.
Tell me about it.
We've got one chance. We must use our ultimate weapon… the Rivera Super Macho Blitz!
[The Riveras gasp in shock over hearing this]
But, Manny, no one has ever survived the blitz!
I know I didn't.
I gotta take a chance. If I don't, Sartana will destroy Miracle City! The Rivera bloodline will end! Rivera men, assemble! [the Rivera men all assemble; to Original El Tigre] You with me?
We are Riveras. Good or evil, we will go down fighting…
[victoriously] Together!
You can do it, El Tigre! I believe in you! You are a RIVERA!
Ancient Tiger Spirit, I SUMMON YOU! [turns into a tiger spirit]
[surprised; to Rodolfo] Where'd he learn that?
[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.
I'm not doing this.
You've got to. If you don't, Davi might rat you out to Vice Principal Chakal.
[stammering worriedly] You think?
[grabs him by the collar, shaking him] We can't take the chance. If you get expelled, I'll be in school alone! I'll have to walk to school alone! I'll have to eat lunch alone! I'll have to… PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?! ALONE?!
NO!
[losing his temper as everyone laughs at him while ripping up the Macho Moose costume] That is absolutely positively IT!!! I CAN'T STAND IT, ANYMORE! [points to Davi; furiously] YOU ARE THE WORST SUPERHERO OF ALL TIME! You don't deserve a sidekick!
[Everyone gasps in shock]
[gasps] Dude!
What are you so mad about?! You're the one who started all this!
I start it?! You the one don't want to do evil no more.
So, you replaced me with some geeky wannabe supervillain kid?!
Bah, I just using him. That goofy ball never going to be a real villain.
Sufferin' saguaros!' Now that is cactus power! [creates an army of cactus monsters; cackles evilly] So, Riveras. Who's a real supervillain now?
You.
People just don't know how to siesta anymore. [yawns]
We must keep the ancient art of napping alive, [yawning] like sleep ninjas.
[Manny and Frida enter the attic digging for some garbage]
Irreplaceable family heirloom?
Garbage.
Granpapi's liver medication?
Garbage.
Hig sack of money?
Ha-ha, garbage.
[finds a locked chest box] Dude, big locked box!
[reading the labels] "Warning." "Danger." "Do not open."
Wow, it's like an us trap. Wait, maybe your dad planted it here.
Yeah, to test us.
I fail.
Me too. [Frida grabs a rat and tries to pick the lock with its nose; clears throat] Allow me. [changes into El Tigre, slices the lock, and opens the chest box]
[Inside the box is a mystical powered silver glove]
Whoa…
Whose glove is this?
[holding the struggling glove] No! I swore I will never put you on again!
Mom, what's going on?
[knocks the glove off hanging from her earring; confessing] There's something you don't know about me. Something shocking.
Ah, nothing shocks me.
I was once… a superhero.
[babbling in shock] Guh-bluh huzzle floygin?! [inside his head, his brain shatters into pieces]
I was in college. [Flashback begins to her college years; voice-over] I went to this party, and someone brought some mystical objects of power, and I… tried one on. Things were crazy back then. It was a different time. [puts the glove on and turns into her superhero identity] I was known as: Plata Peligrosa. At first, it was fun. Saving people, thwarting evil. But then… Then… [starts panting and hyperventilating as the flashback ends]
Here we go. [takes a sandwich out of a paper bag and gives the bag to Maria]
Mom, this is great! We can do stuff together, use our powers for good… or evil. Whatever, I'm easy.
[blows the paper bag too hard, popping the bottom] No, Manny. Never! I gave up my powers because I couldn't handle the danger. Now, lock that glove back up and let us never speak of it again!
Not only will we get to see Mom kick bad guy booty, but maybe she won't freak out so much when I use my powers.
[giggles] You said, "booty-butt."
This is a chance of a lifetime. Plata Peligrosa will fight again!
