INT. SS Lola DAY
Manny
Ensign!
Manny
Ensign Arnold was just a kid!
Manny
I'm sorry I lead you into trouble, sailor.
Manny
Ensign Arnold was just a kid!
Manny
Oh, no!
Manny
This can't be happening!
Skinny Hit Man
Hey! He's back here!
Large Hit Man
Sack him!
INT. Engine Room DAY
Large Hit Man
Custom officials! Open this door!
Skinny Hit Man
Yeah, we wanna check your bags.
Glottis
Don't worry, Captain!
Glottis
We're safe in here.
Large Hit Man
Okay, let's just set the explosives and get the Hell out of here!
Manny
Híjole, Glottis sure did a number on that old diesel!
Manny
If it were just a little more powerful, we could probably tear on out of here.
Glottis
I tried! Oh, I tried.
Glottis
But I failed! It's not powerful enough!
Manny
Hey! Maintain, sailor!
Manny
That's the port anchor control.
EXT Oceanside Porthole DAY
Manny
Looks like the anchor's down.
Manny
Can't reach.
Manny
Can't reach.
INT. Engine Room DAY
Manny
That's the throttle for the starboard-side engine.
Manny
That's the throttle for the port-side engine.
Manny
Híjole, Glottis sure did a number on that old diesel!
Manny
If it were just a little more powerful, we could probably tear on out of here.
Glottis
I tried! Oh, I tried.
Glottis
But I failed! It's not powerful enough!
Manny
Hey! Maintain, sailor!
Manny
I think the best way to use this engine would be the controls over there...
Manny
As opposed to the "hands-on" method.
Manny
Híjole, Glottis sure did a number on that old diesel!
Manny
If it were just a little more powerful, we could probably tear on out of here.
Glottis
I tried! Oh, I tried.
Glottis
But I failed! It's not powerful enough!
Manny
Hey! Maintain, sailor!
Manny
That's the throttle for the starboard-side engine.
Manny
It's hard to totally panic when you're wearing that little sailor suit.
Glottis
NO IT'S NOT!
Manny
Glottis!
Manny
Do something!
Glottis
Okay!
Glottis
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
EXT Oceanside Porthole DAY
Manny
Oh, sure, NOW I find an actual rusty anchor...
Manny
It says, "Inspected by No. 36".
Manny
Can't reach.
Manny
Can't reach.

Can't reach.
Manny

They're locked together like plastic monkeys from a barrel!

INT. Engine Room DAY
Manny
Glottis, cover your ears!
Glottis
What was that?
Manny
The dotted line, buddy.
(Manny and Glottis escape from the assassins)
Manny
Just a little farther, Glottis!
EXT Bottom of the Sea DAY
Glottis
Grrkpt!
Glottis
Ggg!
Glottis
Hkkkk!
Glottis
Manny!
Glottis
Choking!
Manny
Mira! Snap out of it, sailor!
Glottis
Easy for you to say, you don't have lungs!
Manny
Hey, you lived without your heart once, so you can live without air for a little while...
Manny
...just until I figure out what we're gonna do...
Glottis
BEWARE, brave Captain!
Glottis
Here in the darkest depths of the Sea of Lament dwell the most horrible monsters of all...
Glottis
The fearsome, murky demons of the deep will swallow you whole the instant you leave this pool of light.
Glottis
Heed my warning, or take one step forward and learn for yourself...
Manny
All right, all right, I believe you!
Manny
Just quit it with the creepy spirit-of-the-land voice, huh?
Glottis
Ggg!
Glottis
Here comes one now!
Glottis
Okay, that might not have been a sea monster, but it was pretty spooky.
Manny
Not blue yet.
Manny
According to our map, I think that's...
Manny
The Pearl.
Manny
I'd definitely go over there first chance I get, but there's a lot of dark water between here and there.
Manny
I'd definitely go over there first chance I get, but there's a lot of dark water between here and there.
Manny
You alright?
Glottis
I'm a spirit of the land, Manny...
Glottis
...not of the sea!
Manny
Hang in there, Mano.
Manny
Híjole. He looks like he's been down here a LOOONG time.
Manny
Amigo!
Chepito
Huh? Who?
Chepito
Ah, geez, another shipwreck!
Chepito
You see?
Chepito
THAT'S why I never travel by boat!
Manny
What are you doing down here?
Chepito
Trying to get out of the Land of the Dead, same as everybody else!
Manny
Why are you walking instead of taking a ship?
Chepito
Got sick of waiting around Rubacava for a boat!
Chepito
Figured I'd make better time this way.
Manny
Why didn't I think of that?
Manny
How do you know where you're going?
Chepito
See the moon over there?
Chepito
I just keep it on my right, that way I know I'm headed in a straight line!
Manny
But...
Chepito
Oldest trick in the book!
Manny
Is everything okay with your eyebrows?
Chepito
Them is barnacles, genius!
Chepito
I don't move fast enough to shake 'em, so they tend to pile up.
Chepito
I don't mind though--they're the only company I got!
Chepito
Hee hee, ain't ya boys?
Manny
How long have you been down here?
Chepito
Well, let me put it to you this way--
Chepito
I wasn't always this color!
Manny
Shouldn't you have hit dry land by now?
Chepito
I'm trying to cross a big ocean here, Sonny, what do you know about it?
Manny
I've already done it, in a BOAT.
Chepito
A boat! Don't talk to me about boats!
Manny
What's the problem with boats?
Glottis
We had such a nice boat...
Chepito
Why is everybody always talking about boats?
Chepito
You got a perfectly good pair of legs, why not use 'em I say?
Manny
How have you kept that light going all these years?
Chepito
Well, I found this coral, this glow-in-the dark coral...
Chepito
Damndest thing...
Chepito
Glows like a lightning bug and never seems to wear out.
Manny
I had some of that once, made a nice grappling hook.
Chepito
I don't think you had what I got, 'cuz I don't think you've been to the place I got it!
Manny
Where'd you get the coral?
Chepito
Edge of the world, boy!
Chepito
That's the only place it grows!
Manny
Let me guess. You died in a boat wreck?
Chepito
A boat wreck would have been better than what happened to us!
Chepito
Led off-course by bad equipment, lost for weeks, no food, no shelter from the sun...
Chepito
We'd started throwing the dead overboard, but then the sharks began following the boat...
Manny
What happened in the end?
Chepito
What happened was I learned three valuable lessons:
Chepito
Stay away from boats,
Chepito
When it comes to navigation, trust only the moon and the stars,
Chepito
...and when there's only two of you left, never ever go to sleep.
Manny
We've had a little accident. Think you could help us out?
Chepito
Depends on what kind of help you're looking for...
Manny
Could we tag along with you?
Chepito
Well, it's a long walk you're talkin' about...
Manny
We don't have any other choice.
Chepito
Oh, all right then, lift those knees, stick close to my light, and try to sing in key!
Chepito
This little light of mine,
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine.
Chepito
This little light of mine,
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine.
Chepito
This little light of mine,
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
Chepito
Hide it under some seaweed, NO!
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine...
Chepito
Hide it under some seaweed, NO!
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine...
Chepito
Hide it under some seaweed, NO!
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine...
Chepito
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Chepito
Scare away sea monsters, yeah!
Glottis
Scare away sea monsters, yeah!
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine!
Glottis
I'm gonna let it shine!
Chepito
Scare away sea monsters, yeah! I'm gonna let it shine...

Glottis
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine... Wee-ah-ha!
Chepito
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Chepito
I'm not gonna let you touch it, NO! I'm gonna let it shine...
Chepito
I'm not gonna let you touch it, NO!
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine...
Chepito
Not gonna let you touch it, NO! I'm gonna let it shine...
Chepito
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
Manny
I thought that looked like our ship!
Chepito
That's just a trick the ocean plays on your mind, kid.
Chepito
Makes everything look the same after a while, like you was going in circles.
Manny
Well, this isn't the kind of progress I was hoping for.
Chepito
Ah, well, the wet march of the soul ain't for everybody!
Manny
Could we borrow that light for a second?
Chepito
Sorry! I'm kind of attached to it!
Chepito
Wah-ha-ha!
Manny
Could you take us to The Pearl?
Chepito
Ha! You don't believe those old stories, do ya?
Chepito
You think somewhere in this ocean there's a gigantic pearl that shines so brightly it can be seen from passing ships?
Chepito
And that sometimes sailors, so allured by its luster, actually fling themselves overboard to dive for it...
Chepito
...and are never heard from again?
Manny
Yeah, and I think it's right over--
Chepito
Baaaaah!
Chepito
I've been walking this ocean for years, I ain't never seen it!
Manny
No, really. The pearl is right over there!
Chepito
You poor sucker, that's the MOON!
Chepito
Tell me you didn't come all this way out here to pearl-dive the moon? Uh-huh-huh-huuuh!
Manny
Could you send for help?
Chepito
Oh, sure!
Chepito
I promise to call for help at the next phone booth I walk by.
Manny
Well, I don't want to break your stride, there...
Chepito
Okay, see you around!
Manny
Watch out for sea monsters!
Chepito
Who, these guys?
Chepito
Ah, they don't mess with ol' Chepito!
Chepito
I'm too bright for 'em! Heh, heh, heh, hooo-heh!
Chepito
This little light of mine,
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine.
Chepito
This little light of mine,
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine.
Chepito
This little light of mine,
Manny
That light is just the sort of thing we need...
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!
Chepito
Hide it under some seaweed, NO!
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine...
Chepito
Hide it under some seaweed, NO!
Manny
Oh Lola, looks like I let you down again.
Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine...
Manny
Oh, I think her days of use are over.
Manny
We're underwater--we're not on the moon.
Glottis
I told you that name was bad luck.
Manny
According to our map, I think that's...
Manny
The Pearl.
Manny
Hey.
Glottis
Sorry.
Manny
I'd definitely go over there first chance I get, but there's a lot of dark water between here and there.
Manny
According to our map, I think that's...
Manny
The Pearl.
Manny
My scythe--I like to keep it next to where my heart used to be.
Manny
That soul has already been reaped.
Manny
Híjole. He looks like he's been down here a LOOONG time.
Manny
Not blue yet.
Manny
You alright?
Glottis
I'm a spirit of the land, Manny...
Glottis
...not of the sea!
Manny
Hang in there, Mano.
Manny
Oh Lola, looks like I let you down again.
Manny
Oh, I think her days of use are over.
Manny
My scythe--I like to keep it next to where my heart used to be.
Manny
I don't want to mess up my blade.
Manny
I don't want to mess up my blade.
Manny
Amigo!
Chepito

Chepito
I just passed another shipwreck not five minutes ago!
Manny
Well, I don't want to break your stride, there...
Chepito
Okay, see you around!
Chepito

Chepito
I'm gonna let it shine.

I'M RICH-RICH-RICH-RICH-RICH!
Manny
Shhh!
Manny
Something's happening.
Glottis
Manny?
Glottis
What's going on?
Manny
I don't know, but I don't like the way that thing's looking at us.
