• Abuela Alma : What is going on?

  Mirabel : Abuela? It's okay! Everything's... We're gonna save the miracle. The magic...

  Abuela Alma : What are you talking about? Look at our home! Look at your sister!

  Mirabel : Please, just... Isabela was unhappy and...

  Abuela Alma : Of course she's unhappy! You ruined her proposal!

  Mirabel : No, no, she *needed* me to ruin her proposal. And then we did all of this, and the candle burned brighter and the cracks...

  Abuela Alma : Mirabel...

  Mirabel : That's why I'm in the vision! I'm saving the miracle!

  Abuela Alma : You have to stop, Mirabel! The cracks started with you. Bruno left because of you. Luisa's losing her powers, Isabela's out of control because of you! I don't know why you weren't given a gift, but it is not an excuse for you to hurt this family!

  [Casita begins to shake] 

  Mirabel : [sadly]  I will never... be good enough for you... will I? No matter how hard I try...

  [looks at her sisters... and begins to realize the truth] 

  Mirabel : No matter how hard any of us tries. Luisa will never be strong enough. Isabela won't be perfect enough. Bruno left our family because you only saw the worst in him.

  Abuela Alma : Bruno didn't care about this family!

  Mirabel : He loves this family! I love this family! We all love this family! You're the one that doesn't care.

  [the cracks reach the outskirts of town] 

  Mirabel : You're the one breaking our home!

  Abuela Alma : [enraged]  Don't you ever...!

  Mirabel : The miracle is dying because of you!

• Abuela Alma : [a regretful Alma finds Maribel crying at the river where her husband, Abeulo Pedro perished]  I haven't been able to come back to this place.

• Agustín : Miraboo! Got your party pants on? 'Cause I...

  [Sees Bruno's vision] 

  Mirabel : I broke into Bruno's tower, I found his last vision, The family's in trouble, The magic is dying, The house is breaking, Luisa's gift is fading, And I think it's all because of me? Pá?

  Agustín : We say nothing, Abuela wants tonight to be perfect, Until the Guzmáns leave, you did not break into Bruno's tower, The magic is not dying, The house is not breaking, Luisa's gift is not fading, No one will know, Just act normal, No one has to know.

  Dolores : [after hearing everything]  I know.

  Mirabel : She's gonna tell everyone.

  Abuela Alma : Time to eat!

  Agustín : Miercoles.

• [first lines] 

  Abuela Alma : Open your eyes.

  Young Mirabel : This is where our magic comes from?

  Abuela Alma : Mmm-hmm. This candle holds the miracle given to our family.

• Bruno : She didn't do this! She didn't do this! I GAVE HER A VISION! IT WAS ME! I was like, "Go!" and she was like "Phssht!" She only wanted to help. I don't care what you think of me, but if you're too stubborn to... to...

  Abuela Alma : [hugs Bruno with joy]  Brunito.

  Bruno : I feel like I missed something important.
