MIRABEL: (SCOFFS) Why would embracing Isabela do anything?
Bruno:I don't know. Our family got a miracle.How do you help a family miracle?You hug a sister.
Moana:That actually makes sense.
Camilo:Mirabel?Moana? (SIGHS) Mirabel? (BURBLING)(IN HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) Moana?
Moana:Poor Camilo.
Bruno:Well, I think we're running out of time here.
Mirabel:It's not gonna work.She won't hug me ever, okay? She hates me!
Moana:[points her finger up]And me.
Mirabel:Also, I don't know if you heard, we ruined her proposal!Plus, P.S...
Bruno:(WHISPERS) Mirabel?
Mirabel:...she is just annoying.Of course it's Isabela!
Bruno:Mirabel?
Mirabel:What's her problem with me anyway?She's the one with roses coming out of her...
Bruno:(LOUDLY) Mirabel!
[Mirabel and Moana both look at Bruno]
Bruno:Sorry, sorry, sorry.You see, you're missing the point.The fate of the family, it's not up to her.It's up to you.You're exactly what this family needs.You just have to see it.By yourself, after I leave. (GRUNTS)
Mirabel:What, you're not coming?
Bruno:(IN DEEP VOICE) It was your vision, Mirabel.Not mine.
Moana:*giggles*
Mirabel:You're afraid Abuela will see you.
Bruno:(IN NORMAL VOICE) Yep. I mean, yes, that too.Hey, after you save the miracle, come visit.
Mirabel:After I save the miracle, I'm bringing you home.
Bruno:Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Knock on wood.(INHALES SHARPLY)
(CASITA CREAKING)
Moana:Don't worry,I'll go with you Mirabel.
Mirabel:Thanks Moana(EXHALES) You got this. Just gonna save the miracle.With a hug.
Moana:I love hugs.
[Inside Isabela's room]
Mirabel:Isa? Hey.I know we've had our issues, but I'm (HESITATES) ready to be a better sister... to you.So, we should just hug.Let's hug it out, huh?
Moana:Please Isabela?
ISABELA: "Hug it out"?Luisa can't lift an empanada, Mariano's nose looks like a smashed papaya!Have you lost your mind?!
Mirabel:(SMACKS LIPS)Isa, I feel like you're upset.
And you know what cures being upset?A warm embrace.
Moana:Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a nice embrace.
Isabela:Get out.Both of you.
Mirabel:(HESITATING)
Moana:But Isabela....

Mirabel:(HESITATING)Moana:But Isabela

Isabela:Everything was perfect.Abuela was happy. The family was happy.You wanna be a better sister? Apologize for ruining my life! Go on. Apologize.
[Mirabel looks at Moana as she shakes her head lightly and then turns her attention back to Isabela]
Mirabel:I... am... sorry...
Moana:And I'm sorry too.
Isabela:Hmm.
Mirabel:...that your life is so great!
Maria:Mirabel!
Isabela:Out.
Mirabel:Wait! (GRUNTS) Fine! I apologize!
[Moana runs to pull Mirabel off the vines that were pulling her out of Isabela's room]
Mirabel:I wasn't trying to ruin your life!
(MOANA GRUNTS)
Mirabel:Some of us have bigger problems, you selfish...
(ISABELA GASPS)
Mirabel:...entitled princess!
Isabela:"Selfish"?! I've been stuck being perfect my whole entire life and literally, the only thing you have ever done for me is mess things up!
Mirabel:Nothing is messed up!You can still marry that big dumb hunk!
Moana:Yeah, you can still marry Mariano!
Isabela:I never wanted to marry him! I was doing it for the family!
[A cactus suddenly appears on the ground Isabela looks at it surprised]
Moana:You did? Wow.
Mirabel:Oh, my gosh.Isa, that is a very serious confession.(SIGHS) Okay, get over here.Bring it in.
Isa?
Moana:Are you okay, Isabela?
(SONG STARTS)
Isabela:🎶I just made something unexpected
Something sharp Something new

Mirabel:Isa? Uh, this is the part where we...

🎶It's not symmetrical Or perfect
But it's beautiful
And it's mine What else can I do?🎵

🎶Mirabel/Moana:Wait Bring it in, bring it in
Good talk Bring it in, bring it in

What else can I do?🎵

🎶Let's hug Bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs Bring it in, bring it in🎵

I grow rows and rows of roses
🎶Flor de mayo by the mile
I make perfect Practiced poses🎵
So much hides behind my smile

🎶What could I do if I just grew
What I was feeling In the moment?🎵

Moana/Mirabel:Do you know Where you're going?

What could I do if I just knew It didn't need to be 🎶perfect?
It just needed to be And they let me be
A hurricane of jacarandás🎶
Strangling figs🎵
Mirabel:Fig!

🎶Hanging vines
Mirabel:This is fine!
Moana:Wheeee!*giggles*
🎶Palma de cera fills the air As I climb and I push through
What else can I do?
Can I deliver us A river of sundew?🎵
🎶Careful, it's carnivorous A little just won't do
I wanna feel the shiver Of something new
🎶I'm so sick of pretty
I want something true Don't you?🎵
You just seemed Like your life's been a dream

🎶Mirabel/Moana:Since the moment You opened your eyes
How far do these roots Go down?🎵
All we know Are the blossoms you grow

🎵But it's awesome to see how You rise
Isabela:How far can I rise?🎵
Mirabel/Moana:How far can you rise?
🎶Through the roof to the skies Let's go
A hurricane of jacarandás
Strangling figs
Mirabel/Moana:Go!
Hanging vines🎵

🎶Mirabel/Moana:Grow!
Palma de cera fills the air As I climb and I push through🎵

🎶What else? What else?
What can you do when you are🎶
Deeply madly truly In the moment?
Seize the moment Keep going🎵

🎵What can you do when you know
Who you want to be Isn't perfect?
But I'll still be okay🎶
Mirabel/Moana:Hey, everybody clear the way

🎶I'm coming through With tabebuia
Tabebuia🎶

Making waves🎵
🎵Making waves

🎶Changing minds
You've changed mine

🎶The way is clearer 'Cause you're here
And well I owe this all to you 🎵

🎵What else can I do?
Mirabel/Moana: Show them what you can do

🎶What else can I do?
Mirabel/Moana:There's nothing you can't do

ISABELA: What else can I do?🎶
[Song ends]
Isabela:You guys are bad influences.
[They all giggle at each other until Abuela walks in angry]
