• 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.
