“Okay. Okay. There's no place like home. There's no place like home....”

Blu

[Blu chants to himself with fear whilst trapped in a cage]

Okay. Okay. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. Oh, how I wish I was back in my own cage, with my mirror and my swing and my little bell. Oh, how I miss my little bell.

Jewel

Shh! Play dead.

Blu

[She drops to the floor of the cage]

What? I don't need to play dead. I'm about to have a heart attack.

Jewel

Just do it!

Blu

[sighs]

Fine. [moans] [gagging] [grunting]

Jewel

[he fakes a fall and starts twitching]

Stop twitching.

Blu

Oh, come on. It's the twitching that sells it.

Jewel

Shh!

Armando

[First Words]

Come on in, kid.

Marcel

[a boy places the cage holding Blu and Jewel on the table in front of Marcel] [First Words]

Well, what do you know? Good work, Fernando. You see, boys? What did I tell you about this one?

Tipa

[First Words]

That you were going to pay him half as much as you said? [Marcel slaps Tipa in the face to shut him up] Ow!

Marcel

No, you idiot. That he reminds me of myself when I was that age. Sweet, resourceful. Here you go, kid. [he hands the boy some money]

Fernando

Hey. This is only half of what you promised me.

Marcel

Ah, shut up, kid. [takes the cover off the cage to see Blu and Jewel looking dead] What the...? [he picks up Jewel] I thought I told you I needed these birds alive. Tell me, Fernando, does this look alive to you? Huh?

Jewel

[Jewel bites Marcel's thumb and flies away] [squwaks]

Marcel

[screams]

Get her!

Armando

Come over here!

Armando and Tipa

[grunts]

Blu

Jewel!

Jewel

[panting]

Marcel

Come here!

Jewel

[pants, screams]

Nigel

[First Words]

Hello, pretty bird. What's the matter? Cockatoo got your throat?

Marcel

Nigel! Alive.

Nigel

To be continued.

Tipa

[gasping]

Jewel

[groans, sighs]

Blu

[after Jewel has been caught and placed back in the cage with Blu]

That was your plan-- to take off and leave me? Gee, thanks.

Jewel

Well, why didn't you follow me?

Blu

Uh... [doesn't reply as he's too embarrassed to admit he doesn't fly yet]

Marcel

Nice work, Nigel.

Tipa

Yeah, nice work, Nigel.

Marcel

The last blue macaws on Earth. [laughs] These are worth a fortune. Hey, Fernando. Hang these up in the other room.

Scaredy Bird

Hey, Birdy. Let me out. Let me out! Let me out of here!!!

Neurotic Bird

Who's a pretty bird? I'm a pretty bird. Pretty bird. I'm a pretty bird. [laughs] I'm a pretty bird.

Bat

I was framed! They got the wrong guy!

Fernando

Sorry, guys. Nothing personal. So, what's going to happen to them?

Marcel

Don't worry. We're going to find good homes for them. Now, go home to your mama.

Fernando

But I don't have a mama.

Marcel

Father?

Armando

Brother?

Tipa

Goldfish? Aw. Can we keep him, boss?

Marcel

No! [he shuts the door in Fernando's face]

Tipa

[hearing Marcel talking to his men through the door]

So, Marcel, what's really going to happen to those birds?

Marcel

Ugh! Plucked, stuffed, eaten. Who cares? All I know is we're going to be rich.

All

[evilly laughing]

Armando

We're gonna be rich!

Fernando

[grunts, groans]
