A scene from Rio 2011

"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?

Tulio

You arrived in time for Carnival.

Linda

Carnival?

Tulio

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?

Tulio

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

Dentist Barbosa

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

Tulio

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

Linda
[chuckles]

Not me.

Nico

♪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.

Pedro

Hey, Nico. He's a tourist.

Nico

Funny, you don't look like one.

Blu

Really? I... I don't.

Pedro

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.

Nico

So are you here for Carnival?

Blu

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

Nico

Oh, a girl!

Pedro

Yes.

Nico

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

Blu

Oh, right.

Pedro

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.

Blu

What?

Pedro

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!

Pedro
[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
[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.
