Narrator:miracle city:

A spicy cesspool of crime and villainy.

This is the story of manny rivera

Better known as:

[Manny roars]

Manny: el tigre!

Son of the legendary hero:

White pantera: white pantera!

Grandson of the evil supervillain:

Puma loco: puma loco.

["El tigre" theme plays]

Crowd: el tigre!

[Sirens wailing]

[Cheering]: el tigre.

[♪...]

[Roaring]

[Roars]

Crowd: el tigre!

[♪...]

Man: children.

It's time for...

The science fair.

Hooray.

Yes, I know we're all excited, but I want to remind you to be careful this year.

Very, very careful.

You listening, manny and frida?

Our experiment in alternative gas sources is already under way.

[Belching]

Eureka!

Now I want you all to pair up in groups of three.

Hey, "freeds."

You want to be project partners?

[Belching]

Hey, manny.

[Belching][screaming]

[Crashing]

[Belching]

Well, this group of three only has two.

[Belching]

Frida: zoe aves.

[Grunting]

Cool.

She's my archnemesis.

I can't work with her.

Can, will.

[Growling]

Hello, manny.

Hello, frida.

Come on, frida.

Zoe isn't that bad.

No?

What about the time she sawed through the legs of my chair?

When was that?

Now.

[Crashing]

[Laughing]

Uh, maybe she's changed since then.

I will make zoe aves suffer.

I will humiliate her!

I will have revenge!

And by "i," I mean "we."

Sure, what are friends for?

Ready to decide what our project will be, manny?

A sundial.

A time machine.

Our friend chlorophyll.

k*ller plant army.

Shiny things!

Jet pack!

Jet pack!

Uh... Uh...

[expl*si*n]

A volcano!

A volcano it is, then.

Yeah.

Sometimes people fall into volcanoes.

People who are zoe.

I'm right here.

[Alarm blaring]

Yo, somebody's burrito's done.

[Beeping]

Zoe, are you clear to talk?

You can never be too careful.

If your secret identity is discovered, entire family will be ruined upon.

Then maybe these wrist communicators shouldn't beep like a truck backing up.

Meet us downtown.

We're stealing a shipment of real russian chickens.

Ok.

I'm on my way.

[Grunting]

Are you talking to your wrist?

No... Yes.

Uh, I have to go, uh, somewhere, for, uh, a reason.

She's hiding something.

Why?

There's nothing wrong with talking to your wrist.

Isn't that right, señor"wristy?"

Zoe: behold my fiendish plan: a working model of the miracle city volcano.

[Laughing]

Ok, I will need plenty of clay to build it.

Clay, I tell you.

I must have clay!

What if her secret is...

...extra toes!

Hm.

Dude, are you drawing jet packs again?

No.

These are rocket packs.

Project partners.

I need clay.

Now, you fools, now!

Yes.

I will construct the greatest science fair project of all time

Or my name isn't black cue...

Zoe aves.

[Wrist communicator beeping]

Um, i, go, thing.

I got it!

Zoe is a supervillain!

But which villain could she be?

Which one?

Which?

I'll get you for that, or my name isn't zoe ah...

Black cuervo.

Hi, project partners.

[Gasping]

Zoe aves is black cuervo.

Eh, I don't see it.

Yes, you do.

Zoe is black cuervo, and we are gonna prove it.

This, you swear!

This, I swe...

Wait a second.

No takebacks.

[Beeping]

You ready?

Let's do this thing.

[Wrist communicator beeping]

The bell tower.

She's trapped.

[Screaming]

Frida: ow, pointy, bad!

Stingers hurting my face!

Phew!

It's only salt.

Non-pointy, delicious salt.

[Manny and frida screaming]

[Wrist communicator beeping]

[Car horn honking]

[Wrist communicator beeping]

[Car horn honking]

[Manny and frida screaming]

[Growling]

Here's a thought.

Maybe we can't prove zoe is black cuervo because she isn't.

I give up.

[Scoffing]

So you're a quitter, huh?

Is that it?

You're a stinkin' quitter?

Uh, yeah.

That's what "I give up" means.

[Sobbing]: manny.

You've got to help me with this.

You know what they say.

Friends don't let friends not get revenge on zoe aves.

[Sighing]

Ok.

Let's cage that bird.

And now, our science project...

...that I did all the work on!

[Goats bleating]

[Bear growling][man screaming]

Eh, if you like big and good.

[Laughing]

No one else would ever think of a volcano for a science fair project.

What, are you kidding me?

[Whistling]

What's this?

Ooh.

A priceless, phoenix-shaped ruby on display at the miracle city museum.

Want...!

[Glass breaking]

[Groaning]

Where is that ruby phoenix?

[Gasping]

So youarezoe aves?

Who, what, you?

Only zoe would be here looking for that ruby, because it doesn't exist.

Frida and I made a fake newspaper story.

[Donkey braying]

All right, yes.

I am zoe aves.

You have learned the truth.

But maybe sharing my secret will bring us closer.

Maybe you will join me, and maybe I will give you...

...a jet pack.

[Gasping]

All you have to do is keep my secret.

Oh, a jet pack.

We can be together at last,mi amor.

Frida: don't do it, manny.

Don't let me down.

What?

Uh... Uh...

[Glass breaking]

No!

You had your chance, el tigre.

You can run, but you can't hide!

[Sighing]

Those jet packs probably get your butt all sweaty anyway.

Zoe: there's a cooling fan.

Dang.

There you are, aves.

Is your project ready to be judged?

Manny:sheis ready to be judged.

I have an announcement.

Zoe aves is secretly black cuervo.

[Gasping]

[Laughing]

Revenge is sweet.

♪ Busted, busted, busted

[Grunting rhythmically]

[expl*si*n]

Black...

...cuervo.

[Laughing]

So you fell for my clever subterfuge.

[Growling]

Zoe aves is nothing to me.

Watch as I drop her into her own volcano.

Dude, I don't like her either, but that is harsh.

[Screaming]

No!

[Gasping]

[Laughing]

It's only a model volcano.

Ai, get a grip.

Zoe, we were wrong.

And we're apologizing.

Right, frida?

No.

No apologies are necessary.

[Wrist communicator beeping]

[Cheering]

Mine says, "participant."

Mine says, "you're suspended."

[Laughing]

[♪...]

Man: today's top story

Miracle city's terrific teen twosome, the golden eagle twins

Were immortalized by a golden statue saluting their heroic works.

That is why I want manny to spend time with you two

So that some of your heroism will rub off on him.

Now, where can he be?

Perfecto.

You fill it up before you turn it?

Of course.

Manny, what are you doing with a stolen churro truck?

[Whispering indistinctly]

What truck?

Did you forget about meeting the golden eagle twins?

Dad, those guys are lame.

[Chuckling]

Yeah, lame, and square, and goody-goody, and stuck up, and...

Churro?

Manny, I must speak to you, now.

I arrange for you to meet the golden eagle twins, and you drop a stolen truck on them?

What truck?

And it's not my fault.

[Sighing]

No,mijo,it isn't.

It's my fault.

I have been a poor role model.

I have failed you.

[Sobbing]

No, dad, you're the best.

But if it'll make you feel better, I'll hang out with the twins.

[Sobbing]

I can always count on you,mijo.

Now let's go share the good news.

There you go,señor pantalones.

Courtesy of the golden eagle twins.

[Sighing]

Uh, carla?

Carlito?

Could you help us return this truck we stole?

Uh... Borrowed?

Of course, el tigre.

Let me just activate our golden eagle zeppelin.

[Beeping]

Huh, they got an eagle blimp.

Zeppelin.

Whoa, look at all this stuff.

It's like the golden eagle fan club threw up in here.

Hey, we're going the wrong way.

Yeah, uh...

Gosh, by golly, there's an emergency at the arcade.

The arcade?

Gosh, by golly?

Hear me, citizens.

There's, um, a giant, mutant gorilla, or something.

And it's gonna, like, att*ck this arcade.

Run for your lives!

[All screaming]

[Video game music and beeping]

What are you doing?

What about the giant, mutant gorilla, or something?

[Laughing]: yeah.

We made it up so we wouldn't have to wait to play super macho fighter two.

Or pay for tokens.

Score!

Hang on.

You guys are fakers!

Yes.

And since everyone thinks you're so perfect

You can get away with whatever you want.

Exactly.

Teach us, oh wise ones.

And then, we tracked a giant, mutant gorilla...

...or something...

...to the arcade, a carnival, a football game, and a bar mitzvah.

Shalom, dude!

And what happened when you caught up with the terrible beast?

Uh, we didn't actually find him, but we'll look again tomorrow.

Probably at the new ice cream place.

My son, a real hero.

Excuse me.

I must cry in private.

Man, this is a great setup.

But I wish I didn't have to lie to my dad about everything.

Dude, look how happy he is.

So it's a good lie, which makes it not a lie

Which means it's really the truth, only not true.

Yeah.

Guys, could we maybe do some actual hero stuff today?

Why?

Is someone looking?

[Alarm blaring]

Manny:el oso'srobbing the jewelry store.

That's the perfect place to be heroic.

What an excellent suggestion.

Engage blimp!

It's a zeppelin.

You got some real pretty rocks, man.

[Banging]

El tigre?

I am gonna mess you ups.

Ooh, the golden eagle mans.

I ready to go to jails now.

[Handcuffs clanking]

Hey, you always fight manny.

How come you're giving up?

'Cause it's the golden eagle mans!

Hey, could you autograph my eyeballs?

[Squeaking and squishing...]

Hey, you writed it backwards, man.

Please accept this rare jewel as a reward.

No, thanks.

Like my dad always says, doing good is its own reward.

Carlito: your dad is missing out.

Thanks for the reward.

Farewell, good citizen.

Wait up, mans.

Thank goodness for those twins.

Thank you for saving the orphanage, golden eagle twins.

[Cheering]

How can we ever repay you?

Um, I'm all for having fun, but taking stuff from orphans?

That's pretty low.

[Belching]

Right, frida?

[Baby crying]

Maybe the kid's right, carlito.

Do we really need all this stuff?

[Beeping]

Cash money!

Jewel-encrusted boxer shorts!

Solid gold dirt bikes!

Baklava!

Forget what I said.

[Laughing]

We do need all this stuff.

Oh, and check out where we're gonna put our sweet new motocross track.

[Mechanical whirring]

Carla: right where that stupid community park used to be.

Wait, isn't that where the old ladies, babies, and puppies play every day?

Not for long.

Computer voice: lasers charging.

Percent.[Alarm blaring]

[Baby cooing]

I can always count on you,mijo.

Curse you, floating head of guilt.

Computer voice: percent.

Time to take a stand, frida.

Golden eagle twins, you are going down.

Oops.

Our stuff!

[Screaming]

Hey, I can see my house from here.

[Screaming]

Computer voice: percent.

Percent.

You can't b*at us, el tigre.

When we join...

...our powers increase a thousand fold.

[Grunting]

And nothing can separate us.

Nothing...

Frida: hey, eagle dork.

I got two words for you.

Bl-imp.

[Screaming]

Zeppelin!

Computer voice: percent.

[Grunting]

Percent.

[Screaming]

Percent.

I regret nothing.

Computer voice: lasers f*ring.

[Cow mooing]

[Gulping]

No, no, no, no!

Not our statue!

[People screaming]

Man: the golden eagle twins have saved the day again...

...from a nameless kid dressed like a tiger.

We want to thank the people of miracle city for their generous cash donations.

Thanks to you, we'll be able to repair the golden eagle blimp.

Zeppelin!

The whole city still loves the twins, and I get blamed for everything.

You believe me, right, dad?

Yes,mijo,and I am very proud of you.

You are?

Of course.

You sacrificed yourself for the good of others.

It doesn't get much more heroic than that.

Thanks, dad.

Um, could you tell that to these guys?[Dogs growling]
