Candle Maker: Go write your own stories.
Grandma: Kids these days, with their long hair and not killing stuff.
Carlos Sanchez: All of the Sanchezes have been bullfighters. All of them.
Grandma: I was a beast in the ring. A beast!
Pepe Rodriguez: I'm allergic to dying!
Pancho Rodriguez: Especially in the face!
Land of the Remembered Captain: You know, I've been down here for years awaiting my beloved honey bunny.
Land of the Remembered Captain's Wife: [older ugly woman appears] Hi honey!
Land of the Remembered Captain: AH! TOO SOON!
Joaquin: Hey, Chakal! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
Bandit: 'Cause no one's that big, man.
Skeleton Jorge: [Repeated line] Savage.
La Muerte: The world keeps spinning, and the tales keep turning, and people come and people go, but they're never forgotten. And the one truth we know, it held true one more time... That love, true love, the really, really good kind of love never dies.
Manolo: I know about the wager. Xibalba cheated!
La Muerte: He did what?
Manolo: Yeah! With a two-headed snake!
[La Muerte starts to boil with rage]
Candle Maker: [to Manolo, Carmen and Luis] You might wanna cover your ears right now.
La Muerte: [yelling with rage as her candles brightens the Land of the Forgotten] XIIIII... BAAAAL... BAAAAAAAA!
