Lost a brother.

A striped, long-eared brother.

And it's all my fault.

Um, manny?

The zebra donkey fiesta

Spectacular is tomorrow.

This is no time to talk about

Parties!

I'm sorry, I just need some time

To grieve.

Yeah, everybody's gonna

Expect zebra donkey to be there.

And to be, you know, alive and

Stuff.

What are you gonna do?

Telling the truth is out.

Duh...

Goldfish.

Senorita fish face?

Think, frida...

Where can we get a substitute

For zebra donkey?

He's concerned about the

Plight of our oceans.

Yeah, plight.

Why does he smell like

House paint?

House paint? No more questions!

No more questions!

O.k., We need a plan "b".

Hypnosis, time machine, pixie

Dust.

We'll steal sartana of the

Dead's mystic guitar.

It could bring zebra donkey back

To life.

Steal the prized possession

Of miracle city's most dangerous

Super villain in a mission that

Will surely risk our very lives?

Cool.

[Thunder crashes]

[Wolf howling]

[Doorbell rings]

Who dares?

Hiya!

You've won a free makeover

From lady frida cosmetics.

Makeover?

I will crank up your

Gorgeousity by percent or

Your money back.

Did I mention it's free?

My skull has been a little

Dry lately.

Let's do this.

Sartana: these products had

Better be hypo-allergenic.

Oh, yeah...

It's all hypo...

...glycemic.

Clay dough, rose water and ping

Pong balls.

It's really bringing out your

Cheekbones.

This powder will reduce skull

Shine.

Sartana: hey, my skull shine

Blinds my enemies, leaving them

Vulnerable to my horrible wrath.

I, uh, meant...

Increase skull shine.

Increase skull shine. [Laughs nervously]

[Laughs nervously]

All done, bye.

[Screams]

Alive...!

[Glass breaks]

There... Better.

[Laughs]

Whoo whee!

I love me some carnival.

I told your dad he had

Nothing to worry....

Whoa!

Manny rivera, I have come

For revenge!

It's over there, dude.

[Toy horn honks]

No...

Not... Aye, chihuahua, I come

For my revenge against you.

Apparently your father hasn't

Told you about the titanium

Told you about the titanium titan.

Titan.

Nobody hits me with my dad's

Face.

Let's see how this guy deals

With...

[El tigre roar]

El tigre!

El tigre! [Kn*fe blade slices]

[Kn*fe blade slices]

Liquid metal arms?

Yes.

Powerful and shiny.

Now be a good boy, and let me

Crush you.

Crush you. [Gasps]

[Gasps]

Aye!

You froze my beautiful arms.

I'll be back el tigre, and next

Time you won't be so lucky.

Sorry...

Excuse me...

My bad, oh, excuse me.

Club soda.

Scary rundown rides and a

Super villain.

This is the best carnival ever!

Huh, frida?

[Laughs]

Frida?

Frida?

Speak to me.

[Coughs]

[Shivering]

Can i...

Can i...

What?

What is it,mija?

[Vomits]

Can I have some more cotton

Candy?

Are you o.k.?

Stay away from her, rivera.

This is all your fault.

Dad, no it's not.

Yes, it is.

Huh?

Don't you see?

You're dad's right.

You do get hurt every time your

Around me.

Oh, yeah?

Name once.

[Screams]

O.k., Name twice.

I'm sorry, frida, but the

Only way you'll be safe is if,

We don't hang out ever again.

Manny.

No.

My mind is made up.

Good-bye.

Oh, don't worry,mija.

We will find you a new best

Friend...

A better one.

Manny: so I told her, she'd

Be safer if we weren't friends

Anymore.

I feel your pain, my son.

Lonely is the path walked by a

Hero.

Or villain.

Speaking of villains, who is

The dastardly beast who att*cked

You and caused this pain?

Some little guy with metal

Arms, said he knew you.

[Spits]

Why must you take such big

Sips?

The titan!

He has returned at last.

You will pay...

For half of the dry cleaning.

It is time you learned the

Truth, my son.

The titanium titan was once my

Sidekick.

[Gasps]

We were the toast of miracle

City.

Perhaps this will explain

Better.

Oh, movie time.

[Static]

Announcer voice: dateline

Miracle city...

Two new super heroes have taken

The town by storm.

White pantera and the titanium

Titan.

Whether they're putting the

Crooks in the clink or romancing

The ladies at their hideout, the

Plushly posh pantera pit, this

Daring duo does it in style.

Ooh, la, la...

These he man heroes are...

Uh...

[Clears throat]

When your mother and I got

Married, I had less time for the

Titan.

Then we had you, and the

Decision was clear.

My family was more important ot

Me than my partnership with the

Titan.

So we went our separate ways.

What happened to him?

He couldn't make it as a solo

Superhero.

Eventually he left town and

Turned to a life of crime, and

He blamed you for his

Misfortunes.

Manny, I promise you, we will

Find this villain before he

Strikes again!

Won't we father?

I know just where to look.

Excelente.

Fear not,mijo.

The titan will not harm you.

Unless he does.

Bye.

At least frida is safe.

Oh... Frida.

[Indistinct conversation]

I don't want a new best

Friend.

Manny's gonna come back sooner

Or later.

I hope.

Mija,please just give this a

Try.

[Sighs]

So tell me, why should I choose

You to be my new best friend.

Duh, look at me.

I can bench-press a cow.

We have the same soul.

My favorite vegetable is

Chicken.

[Squawks]: vivapantalones...

I'm never gonna find anyone

As good as manny.

[Static]

[Rooster crows]

Manny: [sighs]

Sigh...

Frida?

Oh...

Frida?

[Bell dings]

Oh...

Frida: manny?

Frida?

Manny?

[Indistinct conversation]

Was that...

You are right.

It is weird.

[Bell rings]

What's that you say, rice

Frida?

You miss me?

I miss you too.

Ooh...

Oh, uh, hi...

Uh, hi...

The, uh,arroz con pollowas

Lousy today, huh?

Yeah, it's enough to make you

Wanna...

[Imitates vomiting]

Yeah, or...

[Imitates vomiting]

Both: [laughing]

Come on, manny, can't we just

Go to the way things used to be?

Aren't you afraid of getting

Hurt?

No way, dude.

Look at me, I'm perfectly safe.

Well...

[Screams]

So, el tigre, you have stolen

My best friend, now I steal

Yours.

Ah...!

[Laughs]

Now, you learn how lonely a

Friendless life can be.

Frida: manny!

Frida!

What have I done?

Where would the titan take

Frida?

Think, manny...

He's short, he has metal arms,

He's living in the past...

[Gasps]

Living in the past!

That's it!

He's taken her to the pantera

Pit.

Oh, no, it's a secret hideout.

I'll never be able to find it.

All is lost.

All is...

Oh, the address is on the back

Oh, the address is on the back of the picture.

Of the picture.

At last, I have the upper

Hand on manny rivera, who ruined

My life!

Hey, poophead, here's my

Impression of you...

Blah, blah, blah, boo-hoo,

Whine, whine, ooh, ooh...

Such insolence.

How do people put up with your

Mouth?

Manny: you grow to love it!

El tigre, your friend pays

Now!

Now! [Kn*fe blades slicing]

[Kn*fe blades slicing]

Ow, ow, ow, ow...

Do what you want to me, just let

Frida go.

Hmm...

Or I can do what I want to you

And not let frida go.

Good-bye, el tigre!

Good-bye, el tigre! [Gasps]

[Gasps]

[Crashing stones]

Frida, are you o.k.?

[Drilling sound]

[Laughs]

Fools, you can't...

[Stammering]

Oh, yes we can.

Good times...

Good times... [♪...]

[♪...]

[Gasps]

Frida!

[Laughs]

[Grunts]

Titan?

I expected better from you.

Rodolfo, I am sorry.

Rodolfo, I am sorry. [expl*si*n]

[expl*si*n]

[expl*si*n] [expl*si*n]

[expl*si*n]

I told you we should look

Here first.

That would have been the

Coward's way.

Frida, this proves it's not

Safe to be around me.

I may have saved you this time,

But...

Savedme?

I savedyou.

But...

But nothing.

I gotta stick around to make

Sure you don't get hurt.

Hmm...

Makes sense to me.

So you wanna go to the carnival?

[Children screaming]

Frida: you read my mind.

Both: [laughing]

Good times...

[Laughs]: good times...

[Laughs]: good times... Good times, good times.

Good times, good times.

Good times, good times. [♪...]
