Hero/Transcript

Alejandra: I'm not a baby anymore, mama, stop treating me like one! Alejandra's mother: Listen to me, mija. Get the flour and get back quickly. No stops. Alejandra: Fine. Alejandra's mother (V.O.): I worry about Alejandra. Every day. No longer a child and nowhere near grown up. She is at a crossroads. I tell her about the heroes who saved our world time and time again, because I want to give her hope. But I'm afraid that she could be forced to make a choice that will decide the direction of her life.

Los Muertos thug #1: Ey, ey, ey, Ale. Where you going, girl? Alejandra: No-nowhere? Los Muertos thug #1: Nowhere is right. Come here, you gotta see this. Here, here, look at this thing. Give him what he deserves. Alejandra: I-I don't know. I've gotta go. Los Muertos thug #1: Come on. Do it! It's just a bucket of bolts. Alejandra: I have to go to the store before it closes or my mama's gonna kill me. Los Muertos thug #2: Gonna be hard without any money, niña. Alejandra: Come on, give it back, I need it. Los Muertos driver: Come on. Let's go, let's go! Alejandra: Hey! Where are you going? My money!

Los Muertos thug: No, no! No! Los Muertos loader: Yo, go check that out. Los Muertos thug: Hey. Come on, compa. Get up. Los Muertos thug: What was that? Los Muertos thug: Y-you see anything? Who's there? Enough games, perro! Come out and fight! Los Muertos thug: No! Please, no!

Los Muertos thug: Nonononononono, please! Please, please, please, please! Please! Soldier: 76: These aren't your streets anymore! Alejandra: No, please, I-- Los Muertos driver: Get on the truck, let's go! Soldier: 76: You don't get off that easy! Los Muertos thrower: Eat this!

Alejandra: You... You saved me. Why? Soldier: 76: Old habits die hard, I guess. Run home, kid. It ain't safe out here. Alejandra: You're one of those heroes, aren't you? Soldier: 76: Not anymore. Alejandra: I think you are.

Alejandra's mother: You're late, mija. I've been worried sick! Alejandra: Oh, I'm sorry, mama, but you won't believe what happened tonight! Los Muertos, they came, and they took my money... Alejandra's mother (V.O.): And then there are the times when I see her smile and the hope in her eyes and I think... maybe I don't need to worry about Alejandra after all.
