What am I gonna do? This is my home! I don't wanna leave! And I really don't want Mom to freak out about me being El Tigre!
Then, we must convince Maria that Miracle City is a safe place to raise a child.
That could be tricky.

Oh, it's El Oso. [smiles in relief; then alarmed] IT'S EL OSO!
[grabs and picks up Manny by the shirt collar; threateningly] Give me back the black platinum diamond pearl!
[groans annoyingly; fiercely] You are not stepping up on my son, you sorry, stinking DOGMAN!
[surprised] Whoa!
I want to read the book she got that from!
[Leone Middle School; Manny and Frida are in Vice Principal Chakal's office, both covered in green goop]
[sternly] Do you have any idea how many detentions you have?
Uh, 10?
[savagely] 136! Since there aren't enough days left in the year to serve all these, you must either work them off by doing community service, or… SPEND TWO MONTHS IN OUR SUMMER DETENTION CAMP IN THE NONAGUA DESERT!
[frightfully] Community service doesn't sound so bad.
Oh, it won't be so bad. It will be… SO BAD! Your options are… clean up after frog dissections, shovel cafeteria gristle, de-clog toilets, or… Leave school early to volunteer at an old folk's home!
MFManny and Frida
[sobbing] NO!
I'm sorry. Did you say leave school early?
[After Manny and Frida load Sartana's loot into El Tarantula's loot cart and blast a hole open with Mano Negra's Glove of Doom, they soon realize they're not even moving before they escape]
ETEl Tigre/Manny
Uh, why aren't we moving?
[They turn around and see Sartana holding her grip onto the attached jet pack on the cart]
Fools! [cackles] No one steals from Sartana of the Dead!
[Manny and Frida scream in terror and Sartana strums her mystic guitar, opening the cell doors for her skeleton banditos to attack]
I love those guys.
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[unlocking the cell lock] They lied to us so we'd rob Sartana for them.
[in the same happy tone as before] I hate those guys.
You're like a pathetic piñata! Let's see if you're full of candy!
[Tuesday morning, 9:00 AM; The children are running to school as the bell rings, avoiding to be late for class]
[yelling to them as they enter the school and head straight for their classrooms] GET TO CLASS! STRAIGHTEN THOSE TEETH! DON'T CHALLENGE ME! [notices Principal Tonino standing near him] Principal Tonino, heh, heh. I was just encouraging the children, and... Wait! [lets out a big sniff] I smell… ARCADE TOKENS!
[Manny and Frida show up with items from the arcade and leaving a trail of game tokens]
Dude, you owned Super Macho Fighter 2 at the arcade!
[surprising them] RIVERA! SUÁREZ! YOU ARE LATE AGAIN!
We can explain!
There was a fire!
At the arcade!
So we rescued-
A sick pony.
Fell down a well!
Tornado!
On the ledge!
[Thursday morning; With Principal Tonino away, Vice Principal Chakal sends Manny and Frida to his office, where their displeased and annoyed parents are waiting there for them]
Your behavior is unacceptable! This constant tardiness must CEASE! [bangs his fist on the table and his mustache piece falls off, reattaches it with a glue stick, and then it droops with snickering being heard in the background]
It must be the boy's fault! [points to Manny]
Clearly, it is Frida's fault. She is a trouble making, goggle-wearer! [points to Frida]
[As the two parents start arguing over who's to blame, Manny and Frida get up from their seats and start to walk away]
Well, it looks like you guys…
PParents
SIT DOWN!
[Manny and Frida quickly sit back in their seats]
[settling everyone down] Please, please. This is not about blame. It's about… [bangs his fist on his desk with a flaming background] REVENGE! [The Rivera and Suárez families all look at him, confused; clears throat] Rules. It's about rules. If they are late again, even once, they will be… EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL!!!
[Rivera House; Rodolfo and Maria discuss with their son about sending him to a charm school in Switzerland if he gets expelled]
Manuel Pablo Gutierrez O'Brian Equihua Rivera, if you get expelled, we are going to send you to a charm school.
In Switzerland.
[Manny reacts with horror and opens his mouth to scream, but is confused to see his grandpapi doing it]
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! No grandson of mine is going to a charm school! Or to Switzerland! It is.... unnatural.
Nonsense! It will be good for Manny. They will teach him punctuality, etiquette, and how to knit cute little tea cozies.
MGManny & Grandpapi
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sorry, mijo, but you have to take responsibility for your actions. Make us proud.
[Little later, Manny walks into his room, sulking, and closes the door behind him before leaning against it]
[kicks the door down, which lands on Manny; panicking] If I get expelled, my parents are gonna send me to military school! Can you think of anything worse?!
Charm school.
This is serious, dude. If we get sent to different schools, we'll never see each other again. We cannot be late tomorrow.
Right. We got work to do.
[setting the alarm on his clock] I'm setting the alarm for 4:00 A.M.
There's a 4:00 A.M.?
That'll give us plenty of time to make it to school by 9:00.
[as Manny tries to pull her away from the bubble wrap] Just one more pop. One more pop. Just… JUST ONE MORE POP!!!
[Manny spin launches Frida all the way to school, making her save herself and arrive just in time]
[catches his daughter; proudly] Frida, I knew you could do it.
RMRodolfo & Maria
[concerned] Where's Manny?
[Vice Principal Chakal chuckles evilly, believing Manny is gonna be expelled if he arrives late]
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[facing Señor Siniestro] Looks like I'm gonna learn to knit tea cozies.
[as Manny makes it school, just in the nick of time; happily] Manny, we are so proud of you!
ETEl Tigre/Manny
[weakly] Hooray.
I was finally going to be rid of him!
I was finally going to be rid of him!
[his mustache piece falls off; enraged at Sergio with a background of fire] YOU'RE LATE! 500 DETENTIONS!
[Sergio screams in shock]
Everything worked out great, Manny. There's just one problem.
ETEl Tigre/Manny
My shattered spine?
We gotta keep getting here on time every day for the rest of the year.
[Manny faints and passes out]
Banned from the video arcade?!
We were just cooling the place off for him. Is that gratitude?
Aw, man. It's like a million degrees out and we got nothing to do now. Except, well, you know.
Watch pigeons explode from the heat? [A pigeon explodes off-screen] Yeah, I just hope I don't get a beak stuck in my hair this time.
DBDon Baffi
What are all these brats doing in our secret hideout? Lock them in the kitchen until I decide how to… Dispose of them. [his mustache snaps fingers]
TTony
Yous heard Don Baffi, ensconce yourselves to the kitchen!
