A scene from Rango 2011
Jedidiah

He got it! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

Balthazar

Hallelujah!

Jedidiah

Ya found the water!

Balthazar

You did it, son!

Ezekiel

Well, actually...

Balthazar
[hits Jedidiah with his staff]

WHY CAN'T YOU BE ALL BRAINY LIKE YOUR BROTHER?!

Ezekiel

Pappy, about that water, there's something I gotta tell you.

Balthazar

Hush! Hush up, now. Somebody's comin'.

Rango
[disguising his voice as a woman wearing Beans' dress, while all the other prepare do to a skit]

YOO-HOO! HA HA! Good sirs! Gracious good afternoon to thee and thee and thee! May I present, Madame Lupone's Terpsichorean Group of Traveling Thespians!

Balthazar

What's that?

Ezekiel
[while reading a book]

I think they's thespians!

Balthazar

Thespians? That's illegal in seven states!

Rango
[still using his disguise voice]

The stage is set! The princess prepares to take her own life!

Beans
[wearing the Wounded Bird's blanket and seen with a bored expression on her face]

I yearn for love.

Rango

Meanwhile, the lone sentry stands watch at the castle gate! (extended version only: [Elgin does nothing] Stands watch at the castle gate.)

Elgin

Hark, who goes there?

Balthazar

This plot's highly predictable.

Ezekiel

Quiet! This is my favorite part!

Rango

Arriving to great fanfare, 'twas her aging father… [the band of Elf Owls, also disguised in Medieval costumes, fanfare and Sergeant Turley enters kneeling with a wooden sword. Awkward silence. Then Rango remembers about the arrow in Turley's eye.] ...Strucketh by Cupid.

Sergeant Turley
[as he says his lines, Rango mouths them, unnoticed by Balthazar and his sons, to make sure Turley gets them right.]

Uh, prithee, unhand my fair daughter and reach for the... Uh, uh... Line?

Ezekiel

"REACH FOR THE SKY!" [everyone suddenly pulls out loaded guns on the small family]

Balthazar

W-w-w-w-what was that?

Jedidiah

Oh, must be very immersive theater.
Rango: We got ya surrounded! You and your entire family get your hands up where I can see 'em!

Balthazar
[chuckles]

My entire family?

Gophers
[at that moment, millions of gophers crawl out of the ground, chanting]

♪ Grit and spit and collared greens ♪
♪ Waffle chitons, monkey brains ♪
♪ Refried bones and booger blood ♪
♪ Pickled eggs and flaps of mud ♪

Rango
[silently]

It's a full house.

Balthazar

Looks like we're gonna have a good, old-fashioned standoff.

Rango

I'll have you know, you're not lookin' at our entire contingent.

Spoons

Caw-caw, caw-caw, caw, caw, caw-caw, caw!

Gopher

What's that? What's that supposed to be?!

Elgin

That's the signal.

Waffles

Yeah, that's the signal! Something must've gone wrong!

Balthazar
[Spoons starts doing flag signals and then runs to a campfire and makes smoke signals]

So, uh... somethin' supposed to happen?

Rango

I am... open to suggestions. [Spoons fakes a heart attack and fires a gun, frightening the boar that was carrying the stolen water and causing it to run off] RUUUUUUUUUUN!

Beans
[the boar runs rampant across the scene]

GET ON THE WAGON!

Balthazar
[the Dirtonians climb aboard]

Should we have ourselves some sport, chillens?

Jedidiah

Ooh, I-I likes it when they run.

Balthazar

Maybelle, give the holler!

Maybelle

Yee-haw, biddy-haw-biddy-haw-biddy-haw!

Gophers

Yee-haw, biddy-haw-biddy-haw, biddy-haw-biddy-hoo! [they burrow underground]
