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 family burst in]
Abuelita : 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]
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 : It's okay, Mamita.
[to Miguel, angrily]
Abuelita : Miguel, you apologize to your Mama Coco!
Miguel : [wiping his eyes] Mama Coco...
[his foot nudges the guitar, he pauses, looking at it]
Abuelita : 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 and moves to stop 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 : 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. 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.
