Is there anything else I need to know?
Yes. I can't fly, I pick my beak, and once in a while I pee in the birdbath! Happy?
You're right. It's not my fault. [She puts on her glasses and lashes out at Tulio] It's your fault...
...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!
Actually, there are 40 species of flightless birds.
No, duck! [Blu notices a crate]
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?
Hmm, I don't know. Sounds a little lonely.
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.
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!
You 2 are coming with me.
In your little monkey dreams. [spits on the ground]
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?

I didn't mean to hurt anybody. I needed the money.
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."
That's good, great idea! [to Jewel; confidently] I have beautiful eyes.
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?
Nothing. Everything's perfect. You'll be off to the rain forest, I'll be back with Linda. Just like we planned.
Nico [he and Pedro fly down towards them]
Hey, birds! Stop yapping and start flapping! Let's go!
I... I... I guess I thought maybe...
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.
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.
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.
Nico Make the mean bird take it back!
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]
[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]
Nico 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!
Nico Blu, help!
Help! [cut on Blu walking to Linda, while Rafael starts following him]
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.
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.
"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!
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?

Nico Funny, you don't look like one.
Except you got pigeon doo-doo on your nose.

Oh, oh, oh, no, this is just SPF 3,000.
Nico So are you here for Carnival?
Oh, actually, I'm just here to meet a... a girl.
Nico Oh, a girl!
Nico Little word of advice: you make the first move. Brazilian ladies respond to confidence.
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]
Nico But, first, we got to bust you out.
Yeah! I'm-a pop that cage open like a soda can.

No, no, no. Whoa! No, no, no, that's okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[grunting]
You call that popping? Whew. This thing's robust.
No, no, no. No, guys., really. I'm fine. This cage is great. Love this cage.

Ta bom. Suit yourself. Hey, don't forget-- love hawk. [squawks] [he squawks and flies away with Nico] Bemvindo!
Yes. Yes, bem... [stammers] And... and to you, as well.

Nico! Pedro! What up, family?
Where you been hidin' yourself, bird?
Nico Man, I thought you were dead.
Hold up! Rewind. [going towards Blu] Ain't that the bird from the cage?
Nico I think our love lessons went down smooth.
Nico Baby got big!
You was locked up and now you're rollin' up with a hot wing! Woo! I wanna be like you.
Oh, no, no. It's not what you think. We're just uh... chained together.
Nico Hey, I'm not judging you.
Nico 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.
Nico Relax, baby bird. You could catch the next one.
Yeah, it's time to take it to the next level.
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.
Nico Oh, yeah!
Uh, we... we got to get this chain off first.
Come on, lovebirds. You're in Rio. You should enjoy it!
