Nacho Libre Page #3

Surprise.

Get that corn out of my face!

Release! Release!

I looked like a fool last night!

What took you so long?

It's no use.

I wanna be a great fighter,

but I can't even beat

a couple of guys in the street.

Nacho.

I think I know someone

who can help you.

-The Lord?

-No.

He's a water gypsy.

He know wheres to find eagle eggs.

Eagle eggs?

I'm not listening to you. You're crazy.

Nacho, I'm telling you. This is for reals.

His eagle eggs possess

magical powers.

You could become the greatest fighter

who ever lived.

In order for you to become empowered

by the eagle,

you must climb that cliff,

find the egg,

crack open one of them,

and then swallow the yolk.

So, what you're saying to me

is if I can eat this yolk,

my moves will become

the best in the whole world.

Definitely.

High five.

-Summon your eagle powers.

-What do you think I am doing?

Eagle powers, come to me!

Please!

Tag. Tag! Tag!

Those eggs were a lie, Steven.

A lie!

They gave me no eagle powers!

They gave me no nutrients!

Sorry.

I don't want to get paid to lose.

I want to win!

I need professional help.

I need Ramses.

He's the best.

We need to get in

with him and his buddies.

We must learn their ways.

But they are pros.

They only hang out with each other.

Then we must go pro!

But going pro is not that easy.

It's political, obviously.

My area, amigo.

You see that guy over there?

His name is Seor Ramon.

He's Ramses' manager

and he owns all of the big arenas.

He's having a party tomorrow night.

We need to go and show him

we mean business,

that we are ready for the big leagues.

Over there in the tree

is a chipmunk nest.

Here we have the corn.

The best in the city. It's delicious.

That is where I get the day-old chips,

over in a secret place.

And that is a crazy lady.

So now you got a little taste

of what I do.

It's pretty dang exciting, huh?

Ramses!

-How do you know him?

-He's the best.

No, he's not.

May I have his autograph?

Please?

Okay. Let me see what I can do.

Ramses.

How are you?

Hi.

I was wondering

if the children could get a

signature from you and maybe a picture.

Listen, the kids are orphans.

They like you. You are the best.

This party's gonna be crazy.

I mean, we're gonna be pros.

Feel it.

Go on. I made them.

Go lay down.

Ignacio, I've been looking for you.

-Where have you been?

-I've been here.

I've been sleeping.

In a frilly shirt and slacks?

They are my PJs.

Can I come in?

No, people might get

the wrong idea about you.

Like maybe you are a floozy.

Ignacio, I was in the kitchen

and there's no food

for tomorrow's breakfast.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

-But when?

-Good night.
