Blu : [as Tulio is making strange bird like noises in front of him] Linda! Little help here! Linda?
Linda : Wow! You're actually communicating!
Tulio : Yes! Yes! I introduced myself and shook my tail feathers counter clockwise, thus referring to his dominance.
Blu : [to himself] I did not get that at all.
-
Linda : Um. Look, I know you're doing your job, but I can't... well, Blu is very particular. And we have our little routine here. And we're not big on travel. Heck, he doesn't even fly!
Tulio : But of course he can fly.
[takes Blu and inspects him]
Tulio : He's a perfect specimen.
Linda : Uh... what you are doing?
Tulio : Don't worry, their natural instincts always tell them to fly.
[he lets Blu go so that he will fly]
Linda : Wait! Wait! Wait! No! No!
[Blu crashes on to the ground]
Tulio : Well, almost always.
Linda : Blu!
-
Linda : [to Blu after picking him up from his fall] Are you okay?
Tulio : Perhaps he's too domesticated.
Linda : It was very nice of you to stop in and squawk around and throw my bird. But now it's time for you to go.
Tulio : Well... I... I'm very sorry. I'm... I'm very sorry. But... wait... wait! Linda! Linda!
[Linda walks him out of her shop]
Tulio : This could be our last chance.
Linda : Have a safe flight.
[she shuts her shop door in his face and walks away]
Tulio : Linda, please listen to me! If we don't do this, his whole species will be gone!
[he throws his business card through her shop door post flap]
Tulio : Just think about it.
-
Linda : [crying after finding out Blu has been taken] This is all my fault!
Tulio : No, Linda! Linda! Please! This is not your fault.
Linda : You're right. It's not my fault. It's your fault!
Tulio : What?
Linda : With your little bird talk! And that whole 'last of his species'! Well, you know what? Squawk, squawkety, squawk, squawk! Haah!
[realizing what she's done]
Linda : I'm sorry! I didn't mean to curse!
Tulio : I... I don't understand. Sylvio is the best guard in the business!
-
Police Officer : [Linda and Tulio watch as Sylvio gets questioned by a police officer] So let me get this straight? You were attacked by a little white bird?
Sylvio : Yes! With this rag!
[he holds up a small white rag]
Sylvio : He held it to my mouth, like... like this!
[he holds the rag against his mouth, takes a breath and faints to the ground; the police officer catches the rag, takes a sniff of it and also faints]
Linda : We're doomed.
-
Tulio : You know your macaw is a very special bird. In fact, as far as we know, Blu is the last male of his kind.
Linda : Really?
Tulio : Yes. And recently we've found a female and our hope is to bring the two of the them together to save their species.
Linda : Oh! Well, yeah! Sure! When can she come over?
Tulio : Oh, no, no! She's in Brazil. Blu must come to Rio de Janeiro.
Linda : [laughing] Rio. Brazil. Oh, no! No. No. No. No. No. No! I never let Blu out of my sight. He needs me.
Tulio : Oh, no! You... you misunderstand. It's all arranged. You will be with him every step of the way. And I will be with you.
-
Linda : [to Blu] I promised I would always look out for you, didn't I? And have I ever broken a promise. I'm scared too. But I wouldn't make you do this if it wasn't the right thing to do. What do you say, Blu?
[she holds out her hand in a punch, Blu touches his beak and punches his claw to her hand in agreement]
Linda : That's my big, brave boy. And we'll be back home before we even know it.
-
Linda : [in the bird sanctuary] So, where's Jewel?
Tulio : Oh, we have a special place for Jewel. She's a very spirited bird.
Aviary Intern : Aahh! I'll say.
[he turns and his face is covered in scratches and bruises]
Blu : She did that? Ah, charming! Okay, I wanna go home now!
Tulio : [as he hears Blu squawk with fear] No, no! Don't worry. I'm gonna make you look irresistible.
-
Tulio : Nice of you to join me for dinner. I often eat alone. Oh, uh... because, of course I work.
Linda : [laughing] I thought I was the bird nerd until I met you.
Tulio : Yes. Right. Do you have a favorite bird?
Linda : Well, obviously I'm a blue macaw kinda gal.
Tulio : [laughing] That makes sense. They are very handsome birds.
Linda : Actually, it's the brains I'm more attracted to. I'm not so impressed by fancy feathers.
Tulio : I know exactly what you mean. My favorite bird is a spotted owl. I've always been mesmerized by those big, round, intelligent eyes.
[he looks at Linda's eyes which are big, round, and intelligent-looking]
-
Linda : [last lines; Linda watches as Blu flies away behind Jewel towards the jungle] That's my big brave boy.
-
Fernando : I swear the birds were here.
Linda : How do you know?
Fernando : Because I'm... I'm the one who took them.
Linda : You?
Fernando : I didn't want to hurt anybody. I just... I needed the money.
Linda : But, Fernando, I trusted you!
Fernando : I know, but...
[Before he can finish Tipa and Armando enter]
-
Tulio : I'll never be able to get my car through this crowd.
Fernando : Don't worry. I'm on it.
[Fernando drives the motorcycle zooming through the crowd.]
Tulio : Hey, kid! How'd you get this bike?
Fernando : I traded it for your Jeep.
Tulio : What?
Fernando : Yeah, it's in great condition.
[the mirror gets knocked off by a dumpster]
Fernando : Well, good condition. Hey, out of the way!
Linda : Look out!
[a soccer ball hits Tulio in the face]
Tulio : Ow!
[Fernando makes a turn to the alley]
Fernando : Hold on!
