1	->'''Manny:''' Sorry for the wait Mr. Flores, I am ready to take you now.\
2	'''Mr. Flores:''' Take me? Take me where?\
3	'''Manny:''' Now, now. There's no need to be nervous.\
4	'''Mr. Flores:''' Nervous? Me? No. Just your appearance is... a little intimidating.\
5	'''Manny:''' Intimidating? Me? But I'm your friend. My name is Manny Calvera. I'm your new travel agent.\
6	'''Mr. Flores:''' I don't want a new travel agent; I want to go home.\
7	'''Manny:''' You can't go home Celso, you're dead! But you're not alone! Everybody here is just as dead as you! That's why we call it the Land of the Dead. Are you ready for your big journey?\
8	'''Mr. Flores:''' No!... What journey?\
9	'''Manny:''' The four year Journey of the Soul. It's quite a big trip. And I can't lie to you, Celso. It could be very, very dangerous. Unless! You take that money you were buried with and buy a better travel package from us! I mean, wouldn't you rather cross the Land of the Dead in your own personal sports car? Maybe try a luxury ocean cruise? Or, if you've led a very good life, you may even qualify for the Number Nine itself.
