Coco Quotes
HÚctor: [sings]Remember me, though I have to say goodbye / Remember me, don't let it make you cry / 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 / Remember me, each time you hear a sad guitar / Know that I'm with you, the only way that I can be / Until you're in my arms again, remember me...

Mamß Imelda: And you, how many times must I turn you away?
HÚctor: Imelda...
Mamß Imelda: I want nothing to do with you! Not in life, not in death! I spent decades protecting my family from *your* mistakes. He spends five minutes with you, and I have to fish him out of a sinkhole!
Miguel: I wasn't in there because of HÚctor. He was in there because of me. He was just trying to get me home! I didn't want to listen, but he was right! Nothing is more important than family. I'm ready to accept your blessing. And your conditions. But first, I need to find de la Cruz. To get HÚctor's photo!
Mamß Imelda: What?
Miguel: So, he can see Coco again. HÚctor should be on our ofrenda. He's part of our family.

Mamß Imelda: I wanted to forget you. I wanted Coco to forget you, too, but...
HÚctor: This is my fault, not yours. I'm sorry, Imelda.
Mamß Imelda: Miguel, if we help you get his photo, you will return home? No more music?

Miguel: [after watching Chicharr¾n disappear]Wait... what happened?
HÚctor: [sadly]He's been forgotten. When there's no one left in the living world who remembers you, you disappear from this world. We call it the Final Death.
Miguel: Where did he go?
HÚctor: No one knows.
Miguel: But I've met him! I could remember him when I go back.
HÚctor: No. It doesn't work like that, chamaco. Our memories, they have to be passed down by those who knew us in life - in the stories they tell about us. But there's no one left alive to pass down Cheech's stories. [shrugs]
HÚctor: Hey, it happens to everyone eventually.
