"The Book of Life" movie quotes tell the tale of one woman stuck between two men which leads one of the men on a journey of a lifetime. The animated comedy movie was directed by Jorge R. Gutierrez who also co-wrote the screenplay with Doug Langdale. "The Book of Life" opened in theaters on October 17, 2014.
In "The Book of Life," Maria (voiced by Zoe Saldana) is in love with two great men. There's Manolo (voiced by Diego Luna), a torero who is torn between Maria and his family, and Joaquin (voiced by Channing Tatum), a charming but quite self-centered stud. Two spirits Xibalba (voiced by Ron Perlman) and La Muerte (voiced by Kate del Castillo) notice this battle between the two suitors and make a wager on who will win.
But when Xibalba, who bet on Joaquin to win, sees that he is soon to lose the wager with Manolo earning Maria's heart, Xibalba sends a snake to kill Manolo and send him to the Land of the Remembered. When Manolo arrives there, he reunites with his departed family members but years to reunite with Maria. Through Xibalba, there is a way to bring Manolo back to life, but that requires Manolo to go on quite the journey to accomplish.

Two Best Friends In Love with the Same Girl
Xibalba: "Ah, look there, two best friends"
La Muerte: "In love with the same girl"
Xibalba: "How about a little wager? I bet that Maria will marry Joaquin."
La Muerte: "Very well"
Xibalba: "By the ancient rules, the wager is set."
When Xibalba and La Muerta, two spirits, notice that Maria is in love with two men, they see an opportunity for a friendly wager. At least it starts friendly until Xibalba takes a step forward to ensure his win.
Welcome to the Land of the Remembered
Manolo: "Where am I?"
Police Officer: "Welcome to the Land of the Remembered!"
Manolo: "My name is Manolo Sanchez."
Police Officer: [Gasps] "Another Sanchez, man, that family just keeps growing."
Manolo: "My family, can you take me to them?"
Upon arriving in the Land of the Remembered, at first Manolo is upset to learn that he is in fact dead. This feeling changes slightly to include some relief when he learns his deceased family is there too.
Please Help Me Reunite with The Love Of My Life
Manolo: "My lady, please help me reunite with the love of my life."
Despite being in the company of his long departed family members, Manolo wants nothing more than to reunite with his love, Maria. To do that, though, will take quite a bit of work.
I Get That a Lot
Joaquin: "Hey girl" [girl faints] "I get that a lot."
Joaquin has no trouble with the ladies, as evidenced when a simple "hey girl" makes a girl swoon. His problem, however, is that he's in love with Maria (as well as himself), while Maria is also in love with another man.
I'll Do Anything to Be with Maria
Manolo: "I'll do anything to be with Maria."
Xibalba: "Are you certain?"
Manolo: "With all my heart"
Xibalba: "If you complete these tasks, you will see Maria again."
Manolo approaches Xibalba begging to be returned to the living world to reunite with Maria. Xibalba knows a way but makes Manolo just about sell his soul to do it.
The Greatest Story Begins on the Day of the Dead
Mary Beth: "Follow me, you need to see something special. All the world is made of stories and all of those stories are right here in The Book of Life. But the greatest story begins on the Day of the Dead, a day when spirits pass between worlds and anything can happen."
As teacher Mary Beth explains to her students, The Book of Life contains many interesting stories but the most special of those stories comes on Halloween. The tale of Manolo and Maria is no exception to that rule.
You Two Are Acting Like Fools!
Joaquin: "Come at me, bro!"
Manolo: "You don't point at me!"
Maria: "You two are acting like fools!"
Manolo: "Wait, me too?"
Maria loves both Joaquin and Manolo but that doesn't stop her from becoming annoyed by their childish competitive behavior. She also does not hesitate from making her feelings known.
I Will Lose the Wager
Xibalba: "I will lose the wager. Fix this for me, old friend."
…
Manolo: "I may not be the town hero, Maria, but I swear with all my heart, I will never stop loving you."
Maria: "Ahh! Snake! Manolo!"
When it looks like Maria has selected Manolo, meaning Xibalba will lose the wager, Xibalba sends in a snake to take Manolo out of the running for good.
