Mamá Coco
- Miguel: [as Abuelita bangs on the locked door] Mama Coco? Can you hear me? It's Miguel! I, I saw your Papa! Remember? Papa? Please, if you forget him, he'll be gone, forever!
- [picking up Hector's guitar]
- Miguel: Here, this was his guitar, right? He used to play it to you?
- [showing her the photo with Hector's face missing]
- Miguel: See? There he is! Papa! Remember? Papa? Mama Coco, *please*, don't forget him!
- [Coco just stares blankly; Miguel gets up sadly as the door unlocks and his family bursts in]
- Abuelita: [outraged at Miguel] What are you *doing* to that poor woman? It's okay, Mamita...
- Papá: [angrily] What's gotten into you?
- [seeing Miguel crying, he hugs him relieved]
- Papá: I thought I lost you Miguel.
- Miguel: I'm sorry Papa.
- Mamá: [also hugging Miguel] We're all together now. That's what matters.
- Miguel: [miserably] Not all of us.
- Abuelita: [reassuring her mother] It's okay, Mamita.
- [turning to Miguel, suddenly becoming very angry with him]
- Abuelita: Miguel, you apologize to your Mama Coco!
- Miguel: [wiping his eyes as Abuelita angrily stares at Miguel] Mama Coco...
- [his foot nudges the guitar, he pauses, looking at it]
- Abuelita: [becomes more aggressive] Well? *Apologize!*
- Miguel: Mama Coco? Your Papa? H-he wanted you to have this.
- [he picks up the guitar and begins to play; Abuelita gasps at this and moves to take the guitar away from him but Enrique lays a hand on her shoulder]
- Papá: Máma, wait.
- Miguel: [singing] Remember me... though I have to say goodbye, remember me... don't let it make you cry...
- [Coco's hand twitches]
- Mamá: [surprised] Look!
- Miguel: [continuing to sing as Coco becomes more alert] For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart. I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart... Remember me, though I have to travel far...
- [Coco sings]
- Miguel, Mamá Coco: Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar.
- [Abuelita tears up realizing how wrong she was for hating music]
- Miguel, Mamá Coco: Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be... Until you're in my arms again, remember... me...
- [Coco smiles at Miguel, then notices Abuelita crying]
- Mamá Coco: Elena? What's wrong, Mija?
- Abuelita: [happily, through her tears] Nothing, Mama. Nothing at all.
- Miguel: [sings] Remember me, though I have to say goodbye / Remember me, don't let it make you cry /
- [Mama Coco's hand starts moving]
- Mamá: Look.
- Miguel: For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart / I sing a secret song to you, each night we are apart / Remember me, though I have to travel far /
- Miguel, Mamá Coco: Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar
- [Abuleta seeing this realizes how wrong she was for hating music and tears of joy start pouring out of her eyes]
- Miguel, Mamá Coco: / Know that I'm with you, the only way that I can be / Until you're in my arms again, remember me...
- [smiles at Miguel and notices her daughter crying]
- Mamá Coco: [Sees Elena crying happy tears] Elena? What's wrong mija?
- Abuelita: [weeping with joy] Nothing mama,
- [sniffles]
- Abuelita: nothing at all.
