El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera quotes

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!

Voltura

[answers the door] Make yourself at home, El Tigre.

Lady Gobbler

Yes, it's so nice to have you here.

Black Cuervo

Wow. They totally hate you. Don't eat anything.

Lady Gobbler

So, you come here to spy on us?

No, ma'am. I'm just here to talk about evil. So, uh… committing any good crimes soon?

Voltura

[to her daughter] $10 says he breaks your heart before dessert.

I would never do a thing like that. Speaking of things, let's trade crime plans.

Black Cuervo

You're just jealous because a Rivera actually likes me!

Voltura

You are dating the enemy. Use your head.

Black Cuervo

I know what I am doing!

Voltura

Well... Maybe you're just not cut out to be a supervillain.

She said I'm the best friend she's ever had!

Frida

Meanwhile, you're totally stabbing her in the back and stuff. [laughs] But…

Yeah?

Frida

That's nothing compared to how upset your dad's gonna be when he finds out what you've done.

[gulps nervously; guilty] You're right, Frida. I've gotta tell 'em both the truth.

Black Cuervo

[heartbroken and deceived after Manny confesses about using her as a pawn to date her into tipping off his father] How could you?! [starts attacking him with fury] I thought you liked me, but you were just… USING ME!

[whispering a little quicker] Cuervo, you're totally right. I'm sorry I treated you so lousy, but I'm going to make it up to you.

Black Cuervo

[scoffs] How?

This fight. I'm going to let you win.

Black Cuervo

[enraged in shock] LET ME WIN?!

Frida

Ooh, bad call.

Voltura

You did very well back there, young lady. Very well!

Lady Gobbler

Sí, and you must be finished with your little crush now, heh?

Black Cuervo

Of course. I am over El Tigre. Mostly.

[serving Frida refried brains during lunchtime] Refried brains. You are in for a treat, young lady.

Manny

I'll yank that puppy off you with a little… [changes into El Tigre] Tigre power!

Frida

Zombie not bad, Manny. Frida like zombie.

You may feel a pinch.

General Chapuza

So, zombies cannot dance, eh? [all the zombies complain offensively] Now, El Tigre… We will show you the error of your ways.

[amazed] Woo-hoo! Man, I was totally wrong about you guys! That was awesome!

Frida

Is good, Manny. Being zombie very, very good.

Papa, why is Frida so weird?

Emiliano

Your sister is not weird. She is… different… from us.

Frida

[heartbroken] Different? I'm different? [starts tearing up]

Manny

Come on, you've got plenty in common with your family.

Check out what's at the museum… The Golden Mustache of the Pharaohs. The Mustache Mafia are totally gonna… [notices Frida looking really sad and upset] Hey, what's wrong?

Frida

Nothing. It's just… lying to my dad like this…

Oh, you feeling a little guilty?

Frida

No, of course not. Guilty, me? [laughs] I laugh. Guilt slides off me like water off a duck's back. A filthy, stinking, no-good duck who lies to her dad!

Wait a minute!

Emiliano

You stay out of this, Rivera! She lied to me.

Yeah, she lied… but only 'cause she wanted to be a good cadet so you'd like her more.

Emiliano

What?! How could I like her more?! I love my Frida. She is… my Frida.

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?

Aw, man. We totally broke their dad!

Frida

No, you broke their dad, I wrecked the puppy hospital.

Stall. I work on the door.
