[during the animated sequence] [Dora: I'm sure this will pass, it's fine.]
Fine? Are you kidding me? This is incredible! [swings on a vine]
Diego Márquez
[looks at pictures on the wall]
What is that? Some sort of ancient Inca group hug?
Diego Márquez
Ancient Inca group hug for the win, guys!
Scenes with Diego Márquez
5 scenesDiego, wait! At least I got people dancing and clapping.
Diego
They were mocking you. They were laughing at you and me. You've been here for weeks. How do you not see that?
I see it. I'm not stupid. But I have to be myself. That's all I know how to do.
Diego
Well, just stop doing it! For, like, one day just stop being you and just be normal.
Diego
[turns to face Dora]
Because, Dora, this isn't the jungle where you can just do whatever you want and be best friends with a monkey. Okay, this is high school. It's life or death. And it was hard enough already without having to take care of the class weirdo.
[Dora looks hurt then runs off without saying anything, Diego watches then looks away in regret]
[after being kidnapped and taken from Los Angeles to Peru, Dora, her cousin Diego and their friends Sammy and Randy wake up in a crate...] [wakes up and wakes up his friends]
What's happening? Where are we?
[Diego and Sammy wake up, realize their heads are touching and they jump back] [Dora wakes up, peers at the side of the crate and sees they're being unloaded from a plane]
I think... we're being unloaded from a plane.
We're not on a plane. We can't-- [peers at the other side of the crate and realizes they're on a plane] Oh, my God, we're on a plane! [searches her pockets] We've left the country without ID. We need to alert the U.S. consulate.
Diego
[the crate jolts and a forklift carries the crate to the back of the truck. It's morning at a dusty airport. All the mercenaries are gathered.]
Dora, what happened?
[in Spanish]
Vinieron por mi! Estan tras mis padres! De Parapata! [transmitting: "They came for me! They're after my parents, after Parapata!"]
Diego
[in Spanish]
En serio? [transmitting: "Are you serious?"]
They're treasure hunters?
Diego
[the forklift drops the crate on the truck]
We gotta get out of here.
[Dora opens her backpack and brings out a large knife] [sarcastically]
Oh, look, Dora brought a knife on the field trip, everybody.
[prys open the lid with the knife and peers out]
I see 3 mercenaries. Armed. [sees someone] Wait, there's a fourth. [drops back in] I think he saw me. [puts away the knife] He's coming for us.
[the kids brace themselves] [closes his eyes]
Okay, I am not here. I'm an avatar. [whimpers and screams]
I'm a friend of your parents. I'm rescuing you, Dora. Come with me if you want to live! [the truck revs and drives forward, causing Alejandro to fall off the truck]
Where did he go?
Did-did he die?
Christina X
[while a female mercenary is driving the truck, she looks in the mirror and spots the kids running off with Alejandro]
Boss!
Powell
[he and Viper turn around and see them running off]
Get them!
[Christina X pulls the brake, stopping the truck] [Dora, Diego, Randy, Sammy and Alejandro are running to a hanger]
My parents did not sign a permission slip for the jungle! Why are we here?! Where's the museum?! Why, why, why?!
How do we get out of here?!
I don't know! Getting you out of the box was as far as my plan went.
Powell
Whatever happens, get that map.
Are you sure your parents went this way?
Warning signs. Totems. Legend tells of an deadly ancient militia dedicated to protecting Parapata from outside eyes. No-one has seen los Guardianes Perdidos, the Lost Guardians, for centuries.
Diego
[Dora speaks Quechua]
What was that?
Quechua. Ancient Inca. Impressive.
What does it mean?
"All those who seek Parapata shall surely perish.".
You have nothing to worry about. I promise. I mean, there's no need to overreact. [walks into a spiderweb] AAH!!! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! [runs into a tree and falls down, then gets back up] And that was just an example of the dangers of overreacting. [wipes the spiderweb off and walks away]
Uh, may we stop for a moment? I have to do a thing.
What?
Just a thing.
Diego
What thing?
I know what this is. You have to poo.
No, that isn't it. [pause] Of course I have to poo! I haven't pooed in 48 hours. I'm sweating and every step is agony. Well, don't look at me. Cover your ears!
Diego
Probably should've said "cover your ears" before you said "poo", like 47 times.
There is no need to be afraid. I have an idea: let's turn this into a song.
Let's not.
Diego
[Diego sits next to Dora by a campfire]
You know, Dora, I... I never forgot about the jungle. And you... you were my best friend...and my-my first friend. I'm glad I'm here with you, Dora. I mean, this... this is our next adventure, prima.
Our next adventure, primo. [they both hug]
