Post by bunniefuu »

Narrator:miracle city, a spicy cesspool of crime and villainy.

This is the story of manny rivera...

Better known as...

Manny: el tigre.

Son of the legendary hero...

Dad: white pantera.

Grandson of the evil supervillain...

Grandfather: puma loco.

[♪...]

Crowd: el tigre!

[Siren wails]

[Cheering]

El tigre!

[Roaring]

[Roars]

Crowd: el tigre!

[♪...]

[Birds chirping]

We have kept miracle city safe again.

Ah, the sweet smell of victory.

That ain't victory, dude.

It's fertilizer.

[Gagging]

Dad?

You said we were gonna protect the city today, not plant daisies.

Icelandic puppies.

This is part of my miracle city beautification plan.

A beautiful city is a safe city.

[expl*si*n]

[People screaming]

Or not.

White pantera!

[Roaring]

El tigre!

Girl with tiny shovel!

[Woman shrieking]

Mom?

Maria?

Plata peligrosa!

[Laughing]

[Crashing]

Didn't you destroy that glove?

I thought I did.

Dad?

Are you ok?

Chorus: ♪ ah, ah...

Uh, dad?

You done?

Doesn't your mother look pretty?

[Shrieking]

Perhaps I can assist you.

You can tell me where to recycle this scrap metal, handsome.

Handsome?

I mean, allow me.

We make quite a team, don't we?

[Beeping]

Oh, I get so carried away when I wear that glove.

What was I saying?

Mom, are you ok?

Get your hand off my mom.

Manny, it's not what you think.

Maria, you said the glove was destroyed in the jaws of the "robasura."

I thought it was.

But a few days later, it showed up on my doorstep, hurt and scared.

I just couldn't turn it away.

As I nursed it back to health, I realized the glove was good inside.

Tests in my home lab showed that if I wore the glove for only one hour at a time

I could control the danger mania.

Even a few seconds more, and I become unstable.

So the glove and I made a deal.

I will use my plata peligrosa powers to help those in need

But when my watch alarm sounds, it must get off my hand.

Right, "glovey"?

[Squeaking]

That's great, mom.

You have a home lab?

Now I can help my boys out in a crisis.

You called me handsome.

Rodolfo, don't listen to what I say when I'm wearing the glove.

I'm not myself.

You and I will always be just friends.

Of course.

I understand completely.

She called me handsome!

Wow, your mom and dad, a crime-fighting team.

Maybe they'll get back together.

[Imitating kissing]

Oh, rodolfo.

You're so handsome.

[Squawking]

Viva pantalones.

Cut it out, frida.

We both know my parents are better off apart.

Yeah, but does your dad know?

Sure he does.

Probably.

Down deep.

Anyway, as long as he keeps his mind off beautifying the city.

Let's paint some curbs.

I got your mother's favorite color: stripes.

[Groaning]

Drag.the goggles, man.

[Crashing]

Anyone here macho enough to come catch some bank robbers with me?

Ooh, me!

[Clearing throat]

Me.

We'll paint curbs later.

Go play.

Take my car.

Uh, too young to drive?

Right.

When I get home, I'll buy you a new bike.

White pantera!

Ok, be good.

Do you know what this means?

They fight crime, equals we get money.

Hey, you know what this city really needs?

A massive crime wave?

[Laughing]

Dude, get out of my head.

[Plata peligrosa shrieking]

[Beeping]

[Beeping]

[Beeping]

[Bell ringing]

[Laughing]

[Snoring]

[Crashing]

[Sighing]

These "lux" pods your dad bought us are awesome.

It's good to take some time for ourselves after a stressful day of spending his money.

Yep, I sure am glad you're not bummed out

About tricking your dad and getting him even more obsessed with your mom.

What are you talking about?

He knows they're just friends.

Rodolfo: maria, we have been seeing a lot of each other lately, and...

No, that's not right.

[Clearing throat]

Mi vida,i, that is, um...

I need to ask you, will you have coffee with me?

[Shrieking]

[Manny screaming]

Manny, it's just coffee.

You know what happens after a man and woman have coffee.

[Gasping]

Danish?

No.

They have a real date.

[Screaming]

It's ok.

As long as there's no crime or emergencies or anything, they won't see each other.

[expl*si*n and growling]

[Siren blaring]

Did I mention I let everything out of the miracle city monster jail?

Pantera!

[Gasping]

My beloved.

I must act now before I lose my nerve.

Dad!

Oh, man.

He's gonna get his heart broken.

We got to make him see that she's not herself when she's wearing that glove.

[Plata peligrosa shrieking]

Right, 'cause that isn't obvious.

So we'll make it even more obvious.

This, I swear!

Maria?

I wish to ask...

Less talk, more b*at up monsters.

[Monster growling]

[Grunting]

I like the way you kick, big fellow.

Um, well, uh, the boots, you see.

They are very powerful.

I, uh...

Hey, guys.

Some fight, huh?

Again with the giant monsters.

What are you gonna do?

We are having a private conversation, manny, so if you could please...

How you doing?

Both of you, listen to me.

I need you to, giant rock hand.

[Grunting]

Giant rock hand!

[Groaning]

Frida: can I get anybody anything?

Soft drink?

Cheese toast?

Hide this.

Without the alarm, your mom's gonna go all danger-crazy.

Exactly.

So, maria.

I wanted to ask...

Oh, hey.

Time to rock out.

[Manny grunting]

[Beeping...]

What's that noise?

Wind.

Elephants.

Airplane.

Thingy-thing.

[Gasping]

Maria.

[Shrieking]

[Grunting...]

I have never seen such grotesque "grotesquery."

That's not like maria.

It's not love.

You and I belong together, white pantera.

Come on.

Spend your life with me

Crashing evil and laughing at danger, and never taking this glove off.

[Laughing]

Maria, I have dreamed of this day so often.

Dude, he's so going for it.

And now that it's here, all I can say is...

Look!

Danger!

Where?

[Gasping]

Oh, my.

What have I almost done?

I thought I could handle it, but, [gasping].

Rodolfo.

All those things I said.

I'm so sorry, i...

Maria, I know it wasn't you.

It was the glove.

Flirt.

Well, let's clean up this mess.

You know what's funny?

If not for this inexplicable string of crimes and disasters

I would have been beautifying the city with manny and frida instead of...

...giving them lots of money?

How you doing?

Manny: and it's... Clean.

And only...

... City blocks to go.

More coffee, my dear?

That would be lovely, friend.

[♪...]

[Thunder clapping]

[Laughter]

At last, I have obtained the egg of the most terrifying creature ever known.

El chupacabras.

Yes!

Hatch, my beast.

Miracle city will quake with fear

As you roam the streets, feasting upon throats.

[Laughing]

[Clearing throat]

What?

He doesn't eat throats?

He eats goats.

[Cooing]

Lame!

[Grumbling]

[Squealing]

Manny: this is totally unfair.

I have to take care of dad and granpapi's pet

But they say I'm not responsible enough to have my own?

Why would they think that?

Um, 'cause they know you.

Remember your last few pets?

[Squeaking]

Señor"mousey," meet your new roommate,señor"snakey."

[Hissing]

[Growling and squeaking]

You'll be safe in here while I wash your fish bowl, goldie.

[Whistling]

[Toilet flushing]

Ok, I had some bad luck, but if I had a pet now, I'd take care of it forever.

[Shrieking]

Pet!

Aw.

Look at the adorable, little, lost, uh...

Dog?

Armadillo?

Iguana?

Oven mitt?

Manny: oh, who cares.

Look how cute he is.

Ew.

Cool.

Doggie likes us!

I'm gonna call him chewy.

I'll take such good care of chewy.

I will never let him out of my sight.

Again.

[Rodolfo screaming]

Oh, papi, my head isn't healed.

Si,i know.

Manny, what is going on here?

I am sorry, but you cannot possibly keep this, uh...

Animal?

We think it's some kind of deer fish monkey.

Regardless, you cannot keep it.

Despite its adorable eyes, its sweet, lovable purring, its bunny-soft snuggle nose...

[Cooing]

Oh, what am I saying?

Of course you can keep the little "bumbleball."

Yes!

[Laughing]

Oh, chewy.

You and me are gonna have so much fun.

[Grumbling]

[Meowing]

Quick, hide!

They go that way.

After them!

I feel so free.

[Goats bleating]

Is it weird that chewy puts everything in his mouth

But he never, like, swallows anything?

Hey, if he doesn't eat, he doesn't poop.

Works for me.

Hm, there must be some kind of food he likes.

[Eating noises]

[Cooing]

Uh, weren't there some goats there a second ago?

Chewy couldn't have... You know.

Could he?

[Burping]

[Goat bleating]

Mystery solved.

Dude eats goats.

Uh, well, everybody has their bad points.

What's important is...

Chewy is a monster.

A chupacabras.

A filthy goat-eater.

Unclean.

He can't help it if he eats goats.

Manny, goats are essential to our city's way of life.

A single chupacabras could spell disaster.

But chewy's my buddy.

I promise to take care of him.

Manny, you don't got to hurt him.

You just got to abandon him out in the middle of the desert.

What?

He is a wild animal, and you must return him to the wild.

It is better this way,mijo.

[Birds squawking]

I'm sorry, chewy.

This is goodbye.

No, chewy.

We have to go home, and you have to stay here.

It's bye-bye time.

[Sobbing]: bye-bye.

[Cooing]

[Screaming]

He's my chewy.

He's my chewy.

[Sobbing]

We can't leave him and go home.

I know it's hard, dude, but you got to let him go.

No, we really can't leave him and go home.

I have no idea where we are.

[Bird squawking]

[Grunting]

What?

He smells something.

It wasn't me.

Manny: he got us home.

Good thing miracle city totally reeks of goats.

[Goats bleating]

[Eating noises]

I did not need to see that.

[Goats bleating][grumbling]

Manny, this is a problem.

Chewy saved our lives, and I am gonna take care of him.

This, I swear!

Experts predict that if these goat disappearances continue, the world will end.

[Screaming]

Rodolfo: manny.

[Screaming]

Are you certain you released chewy far away from the city?

It was very far away, and I'm not hiding him in the attic.

Ok, bye.

[Grunting]

I think chewy snuck out and ate some more goats.

Does he seem bigger?

A little.

Ok, ok.

We can handle this.

It's not like...

...today is the miracle city goat festival?

[Goats bleating]

Manny: dang.

[Sniffing]

[Screaming]

[Cooing]

Crowd: aw.

[Screaming]

Manuel pablo gutieérrez.

I know, but I couldn't abandon chewy.

He saved our lives, and...

Right.

[Roaring]

[Goats bleating]

[Siren blaring]

[Goats bleating]

Ready, aim, [indistinct].

Stop!

Don't hurt chewy.

He's my friend.

This creature is going to the miracle city monster jail.

Which creature?

[Roaring]

[Laughing]

Miracle city, tower before the spicy might of my homemade chipotle cabras.

Hi, frida.

You look pretty.

Aw.

Ew.

Now, if you'll excuse me, destroy!

[Roaring]

[Grunting]

Boy: now, you perish, el tigre.

Then, all of miracle city.

Then, the world!

[Roaring]

[Manny screaming]

[Screaming]

[Growling]

Chewy, run away!

He's too strong!

[Growling]

What?

No, chewy, don't do it.

No...!

[Boy screaming]

[Splashing]

[Goats bleating]

[Boy laughing]

You cannot...

[Boy screaming]

Poor chewy.

This is the way chewy would have wanted it, dude.

Except the part where he blew up.

I just hope he's happy, wherever he is.

[Chewy cooing]

Look, papa.

Can I keep him?

Of course,mijo.

He'll be happy with us on the farm.

I just hope we can find him something to eat.

[Goats bleating]

[♪...]

[Crowd cheering]
