Is there anything else I need to know?

Blu

Yes. I can't fly, I pick my beak, and once in a while I pee in the birdbath! Happy?

Linda

You're right. It's not my fault. [She puts on her glasses and lashes out at Tulio] It's your fault...

What?

Linda

...with your little bird talk and that whole "saves the species". Well you know what? SQUAWK, SQUAWKETY, SQUAWK, SQUAWK!!! [realizes what she said; gasps; covers her mouth] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to curse.

[she and Blu are running away from Nigel]

Aw, this is great. I'm chained to the only bird in the world who can't fly!

Blu

Actually, there are 40 species of flightless birds.

[notices a crate]

Duck!

Blu

No, ducks can fly.

No, duck! [Blu notices a crate]

Blu

You see, who needs flying?

Birds! Birds need flying. Flying is... is freedom, and... and not having to rely on anyone. Don't you want that?

Blu

Hmm, I don't know. Sounds a little lonely.

Blu

Yeah, sounds great. It's not like we're just throwing ourselves off of a mountain… right?

Actually, that was pretty much my entire plan.

Blu

What?!

Don't worry, Blu. It's in your DNA, and if our featherless friends can do it, how hard can it be?

No, no, wait, wait! [screams] Mommy!

Fun, right?

Blu

Yeah… fun…

Mauro

You 2 are coming with me.

In your little monkey dreams. [spits on the ground]

Blu

Yeah! [tries to spit too, but it sticks to his beak; wipes it off] That was meant for you.

Come on, can't we all just get along?

Mauro

This isn't your fight, Big Nose!

Spoonbill
[The marmosets laugh, until one bird grabs Mauro's arm and glares at him.]

You mess with my friends, you mess with me.

Other Birds

AND US!

Yeah, little King Kong! [The marmosets and birds have an intense stare-off]

Little Green Bird
[panicky]

I don't know what's going on here! [flies off]

[battle cry]

Birds versus monkeys! [The birds charge in.]

Linda

How do you know?

Because I'm... I'm the one who took them.

Linda

You?!

I didn't mean to hurt anybody. I needed the money.

Linda

But, Fernando, I trusted you!

I know, but– [Before he can finish, Tipa and Armando enter]

[flying alongside the trolley, whispering to Blu]

Down here! Just tell her, "You have beautiful eyes."

Blu

That's good, great idea! [to Jewel; confidently] I have beautiful eyes.

Okay...

Whoa, whoa, wait. Luiz... is a bulldog?

You got something against dogs?

I do when they're drooling on me.

It's a medical condition.

[As she is happily flying, Jewel notices Blu walking away sadly]

Hey, where you going? [Blu ignores her and keeps on walking] Blu? [Blu stops walking] Blu, what's wrong?

Blu

Nothing. Everything's perfect. You'll be off to the rain forest, I'll be back with Linda. Just like we planned.

I...

[he and Pedro fly down towards them]

Hey, birds! Stop yapping and start flapping! Let's go!

I... I... I guess I thought maybe...

Blu

What, that you... you'd come to Minnesota? [Jewel just looks at him] Great, I guess I... I'll knit you a scarf.

No, that's not what I meant.

Blu

Look, Jewel, I can't spend my life walking around following you wherever you're going.

Hey, it's not my fault you can't fly.

[to Nico as they watch Blu and Jewel]

Awkward…

[to Blu and Jewel]

Okay, okay. You know what? It's just good. Just clear the air, just be completely honest with each other.

Blu

You want honesty? [to Rafael and Jewel] Fine, fine, I can be honest. I don't belong here. In fact, I never wanted to even come here in the first place. [stammers] And... and... and you know what? I hate samba! [Jewel and Rafael gasps, and Nico starts crying into Pedro's wing]

Hey! That's a little too far.

Make the mean bird take it back!

Blu

Yeah, I said it. Every song sounds exactly the same! [sings] "Tico, taco ya-ya-ya. Tico, taco ya-ya-ya!" [groans] I'm "tico-taco" out of here.

[angrily]

Fine! See you around, pet! [starts flying away from Blu]

No, no! Wait, wait, wait! Come back! You belong together. You are Juliet to his Romeo! Sure, they both die at the end, but you get my point! Oh, young love. Always so melodramatic. [to Nico and Pedro] All right, boys. Go after her. [starts flying to Blu] Blu, come back here, come on!

[catches Jewel as she is flying]

Going somewhere, pretty bird?

Oh, yeah! I was just on my way to claw your eyes out! [punches Nigel in the face; Nico and Pedro see Nigel get a hold of Jewel]

Temper, temper. Now come along, my dear. We're going to a parade, and everybody loves a parade! [flies away with Jewel]

Let go of me!

[as he, along with Nico, watch Nigel take Jewel by force]

Hey, get back here! Ain't nobody mess with a friend of Pedro. I ain't havin' it! It's on! [starts punching the air]

What are you... on?! Did you see the talons on that guy?!

"Talons"? Maybe, it's on... next time. [he and Nico turn and fly away] RALFIEEEE!

Blu, help!

Help! [cut on Blu walking to Linda, while Rafael starts following him]

Blu

Rafael, quit following me. You're going in the wrong direction. Isn't Carnaval that way?

I'm not going to Carnaval. No, I'm going home.

Blu

But I thought you loved Carnaval.

I do, but I love my family much more, and that's a choice I made with this. [points to Blu's heart] Not with this. [points to Blu's head (or brain)]

[Blu and Linda have just noticed each other at the carnival]

Blu! Blu! We found her!

She's on some, like, weird chicken float.

Come on!

Blu

Let's go get Jewel.

Linda
[At Present Day] [groaning]

Stupid clock. [grunting] Huh? [chuckles] Good morning, Blu.

Blu
[water swishing] [gargling]
Linda
[spits]
Blu
[belches]
Linda

Ew! Ooh! Come here. Tyler Blu Gunderson! You know these vitamins are good for you. [gasps] Ooh. What's this?

Blu
[squwaks]
Linda

Gotcha. Whoo!

Blu and Linda
[imitate booming explosion]
Linda

Enjoy the new book.

Bookstore Customer

Thanks, Linda.

Linda

Bye, now. Yes, Mom, I'd to visit. But who would take care of Blu? Mom, they don't have kennel's for parrots. Here's your hot chocolate, Blu.

Blu
[quawks]
Linda

Just how you like it. Plus, I don't trust leaving Blu with just anyone. No, I don't have a bird-sitter...

Blu
[Linda places his hot chocolate in front of him]

Ah. This is the life. [sniffs] The perfect marshmallow-to-cocoa ratio. [counting the marshmallows] One, two, three, four, five... [another marshmallow floats to the surface] six. Mmm. [takes a sip of his cocoa]

Alice
[laughter]
Chloe

Well, well, if it isn't my favorite nerd bird.

Blu

Very... very funny. Real mature.

Alice

Hey, pet! Where you migrating to this year, huh? The breakfast nook?

Alice and Chloe
[laughing]
Blu
[Chloe and Alice laugh and throw another snowball at the window]

Throw all the snowballs you want. I'm protected by this magical force field called glass. It's what keeps us so toasty and warm in here while you guys are out there freezing your...

Alice
[singsongy]

La, la, la, la, la! [laughing]

Blu
[looks up and sees Chloe and Alice showing their behinds to him, making fun]

Classy.

[gasping]

Arara! Arara! Arara! Ara... [yelling] [groaning]

Linda

Are you all right?

[groans] [shivering]

I'm not really built for this weather.

Linda

Oh. Are you looking for some books?

Books? No. [chuckling] No. I have come 6,000 miles looking for him.

Blu
[confused grunt]
Linda

Doctor of ornithology?

Ooh. He's magnificent. [imitates birdcalls]

Blu

Linda, little help here. Linda?

Tulio and Blu
[squawking]
Linda

Wow. You're actually communicating.

Yes. Yes. I introduced myself and shook my tail feathers counter-clockwise, thus deffering to his dominance.

Blu

I did not get that at all.

Linda

So, Dr. Monteiro, you...

[chuckling]

Oh, no "Doctor," please. Just call me 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?

Yes. And recently, we found a female, and our hope is to bring the two of them together to save their species.

Blu
[gulps]
Linda

Oh. Well, yeah, sure. When can she come over?

Oh, no, no, no. She is in Brazil. Blu must come to Rio de Janeiro.

Linda
[laughs]

Rio? Brazil?

Blu
[squawks]
Linda

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I never let Blu out of my sight. He needs me.

Oh, no. You... you misunderstood. It's all arranged. You will be with him every stop of the way. And I will be with you.

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 fly.

But, of course he can fly. [takes Blu and inspects him] He's a perfect specimen.

Blu
[squawking]
Linda

Uh, what are you doing?

Don't worry. Their natural instincts always take over.

Linda
[He lets Blu go so that he will fly, but falls due to not having enough endurance]

Wait! Wait, wait! No! No!

Blu
[squawking]

Well, almost always.

Linda

Blu!

Blu
[grunts]

What kind of doctor are you?

Linda

Are you okay?

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.

Well, I... I'm very sorry. I... I'm very sorry, but... wait, wait. Linda. Linda. [Linda walks him out of the shop] This could be our last chance.

Linda

Have a safe flight. [sighs]

[she shuts her shop door in his face and walks away]

Linda, please, listen to me. If we don't do this, his whole species will be gone. [He throws his business card through the door post flap] Just think about it.

Blu

"Natural instincts." [scoffs] There's nothing natural about being thrown halfway across a room. Well, I'll show him. Hmm. [reading a book about flying] I can do this. I just have to work out the physics. I have quadrated my vector angles. I have adjusted for wind shear. Positive reinforcement. Good. Okay. Let's see. Flaps open.[opens his wings] Perfect. Landing gear. [wiggles his claws] Check. Tail flaps. [flaps his tail] Operational. And, actually, not bad. [as he prepares to fly for the first time] This is it. Let's fly. Just keep it simple. Thrust, lift, drag and weight. Thrust, lift, drag, weight. [speeds up to get off the table] Thrust, lift, drag, weight. Thrust, lift, drag... W-w-w-wait! [gets scared and tries to stop himself, but instead falls from the table] [screams] [sighs, screams] Ow!

Linda

Blu? [To Blu] I promised I would always look out for you, didn't I? And have I ever broken a promise? [Blu looks at Linda in worry] 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?

Linda and Blu
[mitate booming explosion]
Linda
[she holds out her hand in a punch, Blu touches his beak and punches his claw to her hand in agreement]

That's my big, brave boy. And we'll be back before we even know it.

Linda
["Let Me Take You to Rio (Blu's Arrival)" plays]

Your turn, Blu. You don't want to get beak-burn.

Blu
[frightened gasp]
Linda

Whoa! What's going on here?

You arrived in time for Carnival.

Linda

Carnival?

Yes. It's the biggest party in the world. You know, a time to have fun and dance. [imitates rhythmic drumming]

Linda
[laughs]

Oh, my. Is she a performer?

No. In fact, she's my dentist. Dr. Barbosa!

Dentist Barbosa

Oy! Don't forget to floss, Tulio. [laughs]

You got it! Come tomorrow night, everyone will be dressed like that.

Linda
[chuckles]

Not me.

♪Oba, la, la, la, ya E, e, ei!♪ E ai? Tudo bom?

Blu

Oh. Um, oh, right. Uh, yeah. Aah! Uh... [slowly] [Nico and Pedro approach Blu] I am not from here.

Hey, Nico. He's a tourist.

Funny, you don't look like one.

Blu

Really? I... I don't.

Except you got pigeon doo-doo on your nose.

Blu
[Blu wipes the sun cream from his beak]

Oh, oh, oh, no, this is just SPF 3,000.

So are you here for Carnival?

Blu

Oh, actually, I'm just here to meet a... a girl.

Oh, a girl!

Yes.

Little word of advice: you make the first move. Brazilian ladies respond to confidence.

Blu

Oh, right.

Yeah, it's all about swagger. You got to puff out that chest. Mmm! Swing that tail. [makes swishing noise] Eyes narrow, like some kind of crazy love hawk. [squawks]

But, first, we got to bust you out.

Blu

What?

Yeah! I'm-a pop that cage open like a soda can.

Blu
[Pedro tries desperately to break the metal bar on the cage Blu's in]

No, no, no. Whoa! No, no, no, that's okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

[grunting]

You call that popping? Whew. This thing's robust.

Blu

No, no, no. No, guys., really. I'm fine. This cage is great. Love this cage.

[Pedro, exhausted, stops pounding the metal bar]

Ta bom. Suit yourself. Hey, don't forget-- love hawk. [squawks] [he squawks and flies away with Nico] Bemvindo!

Blu

Yes. Yes, bem... [stammers] And... and to you, as well.

This is the heart and soul of our aviary-- our treatment room. [imitates birdcalls]

Linda

They really like you. Oh! [chuckles] A lot.

Yes. I'm their great, big mama bird.

Blu

Ew.

Linda
[chuckles]

Wow.

Want some?

Linda

Ah! Oh, I'm, good.

Many of the birds here were rescued from smugglers.

Linda

Smugglers?

Yes. And, unfortunately, the poor birds are often hurt or even killed in the process. But with proper care, they can be saved. Look here. This poor guy was found last night.

[weak squawking]

Hey, buddy. You're looking great today. Much better. Much better.

Blu

Get well soon.

[growls]
Blu
[nervously]

Oh.

Linda
[in the bird sanctuary]

So, where's Jewel?

Oh, we have a special place for Jewel. She's a very spirited bird.

Aviary Intern
[groans]

I'll say.

Blu
[he turns and his face is covered in scratches and bruises]

She did that? Oh, charming. Okay, I want to go home now. [squawking]

No, no, don't worry. I'm going to make you look irresistible.

Blu
[grunts, pants]

Help! Help! Let me out of here! [gasps] Linda!

Linda

Maybe I should...

No, no. Give it a chance.

Blu
[gulps]

Hello? Whoa! Hello? [gasps] Uh... I come in peace. [gasps] Whoa. [as he sets eyes on Jewel for the first time] She's beautiful. [Blu is mesmerized as she flies towards him] What were they talking about? She's... she's like an angel. An angel who's getting really close... Aah! [suddenly Jewel crashes into him]

[to Blu, after she has pinned him down in the bird sanctuary]

Quem é você? Quê que você está fazendo aqui?

Blu
[gagging, indistinct babbling]
[Blu tries to speak as Jewel is standing on him with one clawed talon holding his throat]

Quê?

Blu

You're standing on my throat.

[she gets off him]

Oh, you're an American.

Blu
[clears throat]

Thanks. I need my throat for talking, so thank you.

You look like me.

Blu

Oh. Uh, hi. [clears throat] Hi. My name is Blu. You know, like the cheese. With the mold on it. You know, that smells really bad. [to himself as he realizes what he's just said] That's stupid. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

All right, come on. We don't have much time.

Blu
[chuckles nervously]

Whoa! Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. [groans]

Are you ready?

Blu

For what? [he suddenly thinks she's referring to them mating] Oh, oh, wow. Uh, okay. [to himself] Confidence. [inhales] Crazy love hawk.

All right.

Blu
[Blu tries to kiss Jewel] [smooching]

Whoa. Hey. [She pushes him away] What are you doing?

Blu

What? What... what you wanted me to. But, just for argument's sake, uh, what are... what are you doing?

I'm trying to escape.

Blu
[She points to the air conditioning vent]

Oh. Uh, yeah, escape. That-that's where I was going with that thing I just did.

Wait. W-w-w-wait. Did you actually think we were going to kiss?

Blu

No. No-no-no-no. It's not what you think.

We just met! [squawking]

Linda

Oh, my.

I think they need a little help.

Blu

I mean, I know how my feathers look, but I'm not that kind of bird. [just then a disco ball comes down, the lights are dimmed and Lionel Richie's 'Say you, Say me' starts playing]

Blu
["Say You Say Me" plays]

Okay, I had nothing to do with that. But, huh, you have to admit it's actually a pretty good song. [Jewel gives him a look as he starts singing to the music] Yeah, sing it, Lionel. [screams and yells] [grunting]

Linda
[Jewel suddenly jumps onto him] [Linda watches on the monitor as Blu and Jewel struggle, thinking they're mating]

Wow. That was fast.

Lionel Richie, works every time. We should probably give them privacy.

Linda

I'm not sure I should leave Blu here alone.

Oh, no, no, no. Don't worry. Sylvio will keep an eye on them all night. Besides, he's got Jewel.

Blu
[screaming and grunting]

Help me! [grunts]

It was nice of you to join me for dinner. I often eat alone. Oh, uh, because, of course, my work.

Linda
[chuckles]

I thought I was the best nut, until I met you.

Yes. Right. Do you have a favorite bird?

Linda

Well, obviously, I'm a blue macaw kind of gal.

[chuckles]

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.

I know exactly what you mean. My favorite bird is the 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]

Waiter

Ha ha! Picanha!

Linda
[screams]
Second Waiter

Chicken hearts? Flambada!

Linda

Oh! Ooh! [chuckles] Chicken hearts. [laughs nervously] Oh, gosh. Ahh! Oh! [blowing]

Oh. [chuckles] Hello?

Linda
[sobbing; Blu and Jewel is gone]

Oh, Blu. We should have never left Moose Lake. [Tulio opens and closes the door] This is all my fault.

No, no, Linda. Linda, please. [crying after finding out Blu has been taken] This is not your fault.

Linda
[sniffles]

You're right. It's not my fault. [She puts on her glasses and lashes out at Tulio] It's *your* FAULT!!

What the...?

Linda

With your little bird talk and that whole "saves the species". Well, you know what? SQUAWK, SQUAWKETY, SQUAWK, SQUAWK! [Realizes what she said; covers her mouth] [realizing what she's done] [gasps] I'm sorry. I didn't mean to curse.

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] He held it to my mouth like... like this. [muffled babbling]

Police Officer
[sniffing] [sighs]
Linda
[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]

We're doomed.

[grunts, sighs] [grunts]
Blu
[confused and step on a stick]

Ooh, ooh. What was that?

A stick.

Blu
[asked and hit something]

Ah! And that?

[calmly and kept walking]

It's just a rock.

Blu

Oh, right. Yeah. [Blu stops and shudders as he feels something on his back] [whimpers] Is that a spider on my back?

Will you quit it? It's just a leaf. Turn around. [Blu turns and we see a huge spider on his back] [gulps] Um... [Jewel quickly hits the spider off of Blu's back] [grunts] Leaf. Told you. Now, uh, just come on. We need to find a safe place to spend the night.

Blu

Safe? Safe? We are in the jungle. You know when people say, "It's a jungle out there"? Well, I'm pretty sure they don't mean it as a good thing.

Look, I hate to break it to you, but this is where our kind naturally lives.

Blu

Hey, hey, don't talk to me about nature. I watch Animal Planet. I know all about the food chain. [just then a bug flying by gets eaten by a frog A snake] Ah! Ahh! You see? You see? Out here, I'm just an hor d'oeuvres. Nothing more than a feathery spring roll.

That is why we stay in the trees and not on the ground. [pointing to a large tree ahead of them] After you. [pointing to a man-made tree house]

Blu

Oh. No. I don't think so. Nuh-uh. No. I would feel much more confortable in something man-made. Um... Hey. How about up there?

I can't believe I have to drag your clumsy butt up there.

Blu

Drag me? [scoffs] Watch and learn.

Oh! Blu! Oh! Just wait one... [gasps] Blu! Ha!

Blu

Who's dragging whose butt now, huh?

Ha ha. Very funny. [laughing] Oh! [grunting]

Blu
[as Blu reaches the top of the tree house]

You see? Who needs flying?

Birds. Birds need flying. Flying is... it's freedom and-and not having to rely on anyone. Don't you want that?

Blu

Mmm, I don't know. Sounds a little lonely. Uh... uh, I'm probably going to be up for a little while, muh, 'cause I'm-I'm still on Minnesota time.

Good night.

Blu

Good night, Jewel. [looks out into the sky] Good night, Linda.

Linda

Excuse me, Sir? Have you seen my bird? Have... have you seen my bird?

Woman

Mm-mm.

Linda
[sighs]

Excuse me. Um, have you seen my bird? Ma'am? [snoring] Mmm. Have you seen my bird? [indistinct mumbling]

Lady! American lady!

Linda
[gasps]

Blu? Blu?

Ah! Where? [clears throat] Oh!

[gasps]

Wow. I know where your birds are.

Linda

You found Blu? Are you sure? [gasps] It's his!

Let me see that. [babbling] [slurping] Hmm. You're right.

Linda

Okay. Where is he?

Come on. Let's go. I'll take you to him.

No, no, no. Linda, Linda, wait. We don't know this boy. We can't trust him.

Linda

I have to trust him. I don't have a choice.

Chickens
[clucking]
[clears throat]

Do you think. I am an idiot?

Uh...

They were two birds, chained together, in a cage. HOW COULD YOU LOSE THEM!

They outsmarted us, boss. But-But don't worry. We'll get them back. I have a plan.

Oh, great. What are you going to do, wander the city calling, "Here, birdie, birdie. Here, birdie"?

Well, anything sounds dumb when you say it like that. [groans]

[laughs]

Okay. We have to get the birds to the airport tonight.

But it's Carnival. All the roads will be blocked by the parade.

And that's why I wanted to go this morning! Nigel! [Nigel flies over onto Marcel's shoulder]

[squawks]

This bird is ten times smarter than the two of you combined.

Yeah, well, if he's so smart, then why don't you put him in charge?

I am putting him in charge.

[to Tipa]

Stop suggesting things!

Go find them nigel. [Nigel flies out of the window in search of Blu and Jewel]

[gasps]
[Nigel flies out of the window in search of Blu and Jewel]

Hmm. If we can't get through the parade. We'll have to be in the parade.

Men

Huh?

They're starting to close off the streets for Carnival. You better be right, kid, because we're running out of time. [groans] I'll never be able to get my car through this crowd.

Don't worry, I'm on it.

Linda and Tulio
[yelling]
Chickens
[clucking]

Hey, kid! How'd you get this bike?

I traded it for your Jeep.

What?!

Yeah, it's in great condition.

Whoa!

Well, good condition!

Linda and Tulio

Aah!

Hey, out of the way!

Linda

Look out!

Ow! [screams]

Hold on!

Linda and Tulio
[shuttered grunting] [screaming]
Blu

Ahh!

Whoa!

Blu
[groans]

Ow!

Ugh. I'm going to chew through my own leg if this doesn't come off soon.

Relax. If I know Luiz, we're right where we wanna be.

Hey, Rafi! If it isn't the king of carnival!

Nico! Pedro! What up, family?

Where you been hidin' yourself, bird?

Man, I thought you were dead.

Hold up! Rewind. [going towards Blu] Ain't that the bird from the cage?

I think our love lessons went down smooth.

You work fast!

Baby got big!

You was locked up and now you're rollin' up with a hot wing! Woo! I wanna be like you.

Blu

Oh, no, no. It's not what you think. We're just uh... chained together.

Hey, I'm not judging you.

Keep it spicy.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, guys. We're looking for Luiz. Have you seen him?

Yeah, I seen him, but you didn't, 'cause you just missed him. He took the trolley back to the garage.

Oh, great.

Relax, baby bird. You could catch the next one.

Yeah, it's time to take it to the next level.

Blu

What's wrong with this level?

Come on. This ain't the level. The next level's the level. You got to shake your tail feathers.

Oh, yeah!

Blu

Uh, we... we got to get this chain off first.

Come on, lovebirds. You're in Rio. You should enjoy it!

Yeah, live a little.

Mauro

Ah. Ooh. Hmm? [laughs] We got 'em.

Come on. Follow me.

Uh... [groans]

What? But... the birds were here.

Yeah, sure they were, kid.

I swear! The birds were right here.

Linda

Well, how do you know?

Because I'm-- I'm the one who took them.

Linda

You?!

I-I... I didn't mean to hurt anybody... I needed the money.

Linda

But Fernando, I trusted you!

I know, but-- [Before he can finish Tipa and Armando enter]

Linda
[gasps]
[chuckling]

Oh, man, that's good.

Hey, guys.

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to see if... you had any work for me.

Well, if you were here two hours ago, and you've could've helped us load the... Ow! What?

[quietly]

Shut up.

So, wh-why are you guys dressed for Carnival?

So no one will notice us when we smuggle these b... Ow!

Shut up!

[quietly]

We made a float.

Oh. Oh, a-a float. So, you guys are going to the parade. Can I come? I'm a great dancer.

Can he come? Come on, please? Three's better than two?

[grunting]
[groans]

Oh, fine. We got to hurry, though.

[gasps]

Whoa. I almost forget. I thought it was right here. [grunting] Ah, there it is. Huh. Got it. [chuckles] Let's go.

Whew!

Hurry up, kid.

Can he ride on the plane with us, too? Ow!

Shut up!

No. We can't let them get on that plane.

[grabs hold of a tiny green bird]

Stop your chirping and talk to me!

No! No! No! I don't know anything! Help!

Mmm... when I bite down on your head, will it go pop? Or will it go crack? [he squeezes hard on the little green birds head] Where are the cerulean birds? That means blue, by the way.

[gasps]

They escaped! Went to Luiz.

Anything else?

(Smiles)

They said you were very nice.

Hmm, did they? Well, liar.

And handsome too?

[Nigel throws the little green bird and it hits the lead marmoset in the head]

Never send a monkey to do a bird's job. [squawks]

Come on, come on, come on. Where are these guys? [laughs]Yes! Nice! Very nice.

You'll never find him. He's already gone.

Oh, I don't need to find him. He'll find you.

Ha-ha! This is the spit! [as they arrive at carnival to find Jewel] Yeah, baby! Now I can get my freak on!

Blu

She's on some, like, weird chicken float.

Come on!

[shouting in Portuguese]
[snarling]
Linda

There he is!

Blu
[grunts] [in the smugglers' float] [quietly]

Hey, Jewel?

Blu!

Blu

I'm gonna let you out of here.

No, no. You can't be here. You have to go. Nigel is...

[Suddenly Nigel attacks Blu and throws him in a cage]

Hello, pretty bird. So kind of you to join our little soiree.

Blu

Oh, come on. You really think I came alone? I got three of the roughest, meanest, craziest birds in all of Rio right behind me.

Woo-hoo! You hear that, guys?

[Blu sees that Nigel has replaced Rafael, Nico, & Pedro in a cage nearby]

We're saved! That's right! That's right. That's right.

Uh... I think he means us.

Oh.

[sighs]

Ah, love. It's such a powerful and stupid thing.

[Chuckles]

Yes! Well done Nigel.

Women
[gasps]
Linda

Oh! Oh! Out of the way! Sorry. Wait! Wait!

Whoo-hoo! We actually made it! Hey, Marcel! Can we do this again next year? Please? Please? Could I drive next year, too?

Linda

Wait! Come back! [panting] Get in!

[on top of a carnival float]

I don't know how I got up here, but I ain't never comin' down! Ah-ah! Woo-hoo! [starts dancing]

[to a guilty Fernando as he gives the cage with Rafael, Pedro and Nico in it to him]

Come on, kid.

[to Blu and Jewel]

I'm gonna get you guys out of here. [gasps when Nigel comes down and screeches at him]

What do you think you're doing?

Uh, nothing.

You shouldn't have done that. [Fernando looks sadly back at Jewel as Marcel drags him away, then bites him on the hand to escape] Now, come on. [grunts] Ow! [groans]

[panting]
[to Armando]

Just forget him. Get the birds!

They're getting away.

Linda

We'll see about that.

[The parade float crashes thru the barb wired gates]

Ahh! Watch out!

We did it, boys!

Yes!

Yes, we did it! Ha, ha! We're the best! Ha, ha.

[spots the scarlet macaw parade float in front of them]

Is that. A float?

Wow! Look at the detail on that thing.

Ooh!

[to Tipa]

Pull up, you idiot! Pull up!

All
[The plane pulls up as they all scream in which the Plane damages the sun part of the scarlet macaw parade float] [screaming]
[screams]

Linda [sobbing]: Blu! Blu! Oh, Blu. [sobbing continues]

[cuts to the abandoned airport runway where a still sad, Linda, Tulio and Fernando are sitting on an airplane aileron wing] [spots Blu and Jewel and points out to them]

Linda!

Linda

Blu? [gasps in joy] It's Blu! Look, Tulio, it's Blu! And he's flying. My Blu is flying! He's flying. [gasps]

[Linda, Tulio and Fernando run towards Blu as he safely lowers Jewel to the ground. Jewel squawks weakly as Blu looks at Jewel, and Linda bends over and gasps when she sees that Jewel's left wing is injured as Blu looks at her] [to Jewel]

Here, let me see. Don't worry. I'll take care of you.

Linda
[scene then cuts to the jungle on a sanctuary tower where Jewel's wing is done healing and the bandage has just been taken off, Tulio then lets Jewel go and she flies off towards the jungle] [Linda and Blu both imitate booming explosion, then Blu flies over towards the jungle with Jewel]

That's my big, brave boy.

[Linda watches as Blu and Jewel fly away towards the jungle] ["Real in Rio" Reprise plays] [Last line, on a hang-glider]

I love you, Rio!

[growls]

Ahh! [gasps in embarrasment]
