[to Imelda, touched]

Ernesto de la Cruz : Grandson?
Miguel : She's talking about me!
Ernesto de la Cruz : You! Wait. You're related to Hector?

Héctor : [Ernesto takes Miguel at the edge of the stadium] Ernesto, STOP!
[shudders and collapses to the floor]
Héctor : Leave the boy alone.
Ernesto de la Cruz : I've worked too hard, Hector. Too hard to let him destroy everything.
Héctor : [pleading] He's a living child, Ernesto!
[the other Riveras turn the camera on Ernesto so the audience can see]
Ernesto de la Cruz : He's a THREAT!
[the audience gasps]
Ernesto de la Cruz : You think I'd let him go back to the land of the living with your photo? To keep your memory alive? No!
Miguel : You're a coward!
Ernesto de la Cruz : I am Ernesto de la Cruz, the greatest musician of all time!
Miguel : Héctor's the REAL musician, you're just the guy who murdered him and stole his songs!
[the audience gasps]
Guy in audience : Murdered?
Ernesto de la Cruz : [grabs Miguel by the shirt collar] I am the one who is willing to do what it takes to seize my moment. Whatever it takes.
[Throws Miguel off the stadium]

Ernesto de la Cruz : [after Héctor is taken away by security for attacking Ernesto after learning the truth about his death] I apologize, where were we?
Miguel : You were going to give me your blessing.
Ernesto de la Cruz : Yes, uh, si. Miguel, my reputation it is, ah, very important to me. I would hate to have you think...
Miguel : That you murdered Héctor, for his songs?
Ernesto de la Cruz : Ha ha. You don't think that, do you?
Miguel : I... no. Everyone knows you're, the... the good guy.
Ernesto de la Cruz : [Ernesto looks at Héctor's photo, and then puts it in his pocket]
Miguel : Papa Ernesto, my blessing?
Ernesto de la Cruz : [Ernesto looks at Miguel's marigold petal, and then crushes it into powder] Security, take care of Miguel. He'll be... extending his stay.
Miguel : [as he is taken away by security] WHAT? BUT I'M YOUR FAMILY!
Ernesto de la Cruz : And Héctor was my best friend. Success doesn't come for free, Miguel. You have to be willing to, do whatever it takes to... seize your moment. I know you understand.
Miguel : No, NO!
