Jewel

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...

Tulio

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.

Jewel
[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.

Jewel
[notices a crate]

Duck!

Blu

No, ducks can fly.

Jewel

No, duck! [Blu notices a crate]

Blu

You see, who needs flying?

Jewel

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?

Rafael

Actually, that was pretty much my entire plan.

Blu

What?!

Rafael

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

Man on glider

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

Rafael

Fun, right?

Blu

Yeah… fun…

Mauro

You 2 are coming with me.

Jewel

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.

Rafael

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!

Pedro

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]

Pedro
[battle cry]

Birds versus monkeys! [The birds charge in.]

Linda

How do you know?

Fernando

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

Linda

You?!

Fernando

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

Linda

But, Fernando, I trusted you!

Fernando

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

Rafael
[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.

Jewel

Okay...

Jewel

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

Luiz

You got something against dogs?

Jewel

I do when they're drooling on me.

Luiz

It's a medical condition.

Jewel
[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.

Jewel

I...

Nico
[he and Pedro fly down towards them]

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

Jewel

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.

Jewel

No, that's not what I meant.

Blu

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

Jewel

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

Pedro
[to Nico as they watch Blu and Jewel]

Awkward…

Rafael
[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]

Pedro

Hey! That's a little too far.

Nico

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.

Jewel
[angrily]

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

Rafael

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!

Nigel
[catches Jewel as she is flying]

Going somewhere, pretty bird?

Jewel

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]

Nigel

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

Jewel

Let go of me!

Pedro
[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?!

Pedro

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

Nico

Blu, help!

Pedro

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?

Rafael

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

Blu

But I thought you loved Carnaval.

Rafael

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)]

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

Blu! Blu! We found her!

Pedro

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

Rafael

Come on!

Blu

Let's go get Jewel.

Rafael

Luiz! Are you here? Luiz? Hey, buddy. I got some friends I want you to meet.

Luiz
[vicious barking]
Pedro and Nico

Aah!

Jewel and Blu

Aah! Inside! Outside! Inside Outside! [grunts]

Blu
[whimpering] [disgusted groan]
Luiz
[laughing]

I got you's good!

Jewel and Blu

What?

Luiz

I could've ripped your throats out, but I didn't. [slurps] But I could've.

Rafael
[laughs]

Hey, Luiz! Stop scaring my friends.

Luiz

Hey, Rafie! Come here! Where you been?

Rafael
[grunts]
Luiz

You look good.

Jewel

W-W-Wait. Luiz is a bulldog?

Luiz

You got something against dogs?

Jewel

I do when they're drooling on me.

Luiz
[slurps]

It's a medical condition.

Rafael

No, no, hey, amigo, we really need you.

Luiz

She's mean, bro.

Rafael

Luiz, come on, please, please. We need your help.

Luiz

Hmm. [slurps] I think I know what to do.

Blu

Uh, are you sure this is safe?

Luiz

Oh, sure. There's nothing to it. [muffled, echoing] Now if something goes wrong, scream really loud. Because I hear too good with this thing on. Hey, Raffie! Get the switch, please.

Rafael

Don't worry. He's a professional. [grunts]

Blu
[gasps]
Nico
[whimpering]
Luiz

Now, try not to move! I can't really see out of this thing, either!

Blu and Jewel
[gasping]
Blu

Hey! Where'd you go?

Blu

[as he swipes Luiz's drool off his foot]

Ugh! Ew, gross. [gasps] But I'm free. [realizing he's freed from his chain] Jewel! Jewel, we're free! Slimy, but free. Contaminated, probably. But free! You believe it's finally...

Jewel
[Jewel suddenly flies past him, laughing with joy]

Ha-ha! [whooping]

Blu

...over.

Jewel

Oh, yeah! Whoo! Wah-hah! Come on, guys, let's go!

Pedro

Jewel
[shouts happily]
Luiz
[As Blu sadly watches Jewel, Nico, Pedro and Rafael fly around in the sky with joy]

Yep. I know just how you feel. Watchin' 'em up there, makes you want to chase them and grab 'em in your mouth and bite their heads off. Huh? [slurps] [Blu remains silent] Hey, I'm just kiddin', bro. Yeah. Chasin' 'em is plenty.

Jewel
[laughing]

♪ I'm flying flying just like a bird! ♪

Nico

Jewel, but you are a bird.

Luiz

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

Nigel
[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.

Pedro

Woo-hoo! You hear that, guys?

Pedro
[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.
