Ferdinand Page #2

---

Bulls are bulls.

Yeah. Right. Normal.

Hey, if was a normal bull,

I would have never

found this farm.

And we wouldn't be brothers.

A dog and a bull

can't be brothers.

That would be weird.

Really?

Then why does your tail wag

when I call you brother,

Brother?

Hey. Stop that. (SNARLS)

FERDINAND:
Hah!

Looks like weird

is the new normal, buddy.

Come on, before everybody

takes off without us.

Ferdinand, wait!

This is what

I've been trying to tell you.

(SIGHS)

There you are.

You ready to go?

(BELLOWS)

I'm sorry, Nina.

Ferdinand can't come

to the festival this year.

(BELLOWS)

But he goes with us

every year.

I know, but he is not

a little calf anymore.

Then I won't go either.

(BELLOWS)

Listen, honey.

It's for his own good.

But, Dad. It's just Ferdinand.

(BELLOWS)

But outside this farm,

they don't know him

like we do.

(BELLOWS)

Sorry, little big guy.

I'll bring you back

the prettiest bouquet in town.

Okay?

(SIGHS)

Hey, cheer up, buddy!

Flowers are overrated anyway!

Hah, you couldn't pay me

to go to that festival.

Hey. Why don't we bring Paco?

Fun, right?

I guess.

(WHINES)

I am not stoked about this.

Not stoked at all.

(SIGHS)

This doesn't make any sense.

I'm not a little calf anymore,

so what?

More of me to love.

And besides,

bigger bull, bigger helper.

I'm going.

No. No, no. Juan said no.

Juan said no,

I'm not going. It's settled.

But Nina will be miserable

without me.

She needs me.

Ah... But I need to go,

but I need to stay.

And go. Stay. Go.

What do I do? What do I do?

What do I do?

What do I do? (GRUNTS)

If that orange doesn't fall

by the time I count to three,

I'm going.

One...

If that rock is still there

by the time I...

(EAGLE SCREECHING)

What could you possibly

need that for?

Okay.

If that egg doesn't hatch

by the time I count to ten,

I'm going.

One... (GASPS)

(SHELL CRACKING)

(RAPIDLY)

Two, three, four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine, ten.

Whew! Didn't hatch.

Flower Festival, here I come!

Oh!

(CHIRPS)

FERDINAND:
Whoo-hoo-hoo!

(BELL TOLLING)

(GASPS)

(CROWD CHEERING)

(GASPS)

(SCREAMING)

Hey! You forgot your bike.

I'll leave it right here.

(GASPS)

(SNIFFING)

Wow.

Oh, wow!

(WOMAN GASPS)

(CAT YOWLS)

(FERDINAND EXCLAIMS)

This is some next level stuff.

(GASPS)

(WOMEN GASP)

Whoa.

(CHUCKLES)

Huh. That was odd.

(BABY CRYING)

You don't like the little

piggy balloon?

(SPLUTTERING)

We'll get you

another balloon, okay?

MOTHER:
Gracias, seor.

(VENDOR SPEAKING SPANISH)

(MOTHER SPEAKING SPANISH)

(CRYING)

(BEE BUZZING)

Oh! (CHUCKLES)

All yours, little guy.

(NUNS GASP)

(PRAYING INDISTINCTLY)

(BELLOWS)

(GASPS) Ferdinand.

You shouldn't be here.

What?

(BELLOWING LOUDLY)

(SCREAMING)

Nina!

Oh. Now he acts like a bull?

We have a situation here.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

It's okay. It's okay.

He won't hurt anyone.

My baby.

The beast got my baby.

A beast? Where?

(BABY GIGGLING)

Ow! Ow! (GASPS)

(HORN HONKING)

(YELLS)

(BABY CACKLING)

Huh?

(GRUNTING)

I'm coming, little baby.

Out of the way!

(WHIMPERS)

Whoa!

Got you.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

(GIGGLES)

(WAILING)

WOMAN:
He's a monster.

Keep him away.

Stay away, scary beast.

Ferdinand!

Paco!

They think I'm the beast.

Have you looked

in a mirror lately?

(SIREN BLARING)

Get back to the farm.

I'll hold them off.

(BARKING)

Hey, I'm not done

with you people.

(PANTING)

MAN:
Let's go this way.

(WHIMPERING)

(GASPS)

Oh, no.

Oh.

Okay.

Think thin. (INHALES)

(STRAINING)

(SIGHS) Ooh.

Step light.

You are a feather.

A 2,000-pound feather.

Slow...

(HUMMING)

(GASPS)

(HUMMING)

(GASPS)

(GRUNTING)

(SNEEZES)

(SCREAMS)

There he is!

Cash or credit?

(SCREAMING)

(BELLOWS)

No! This is not necessary.

(STRAINING)

You don't have to do this.

It was an accident.

NINA:
Ferdinand!

(BELLOWS LOUDLY)

Stop! You're hurting him.

(GRUNTS)

Nina! (BELLOWS)

No!

Stop!

No, no, no.

Stay back. Stay back.

Please. Let me take him home.

He's gentle.

Gentle?

He's a wild animal.

Look what he's done.

We have to take him away,

honey.

Seor Moreno.

I think I have something

you need to see.

No!

Wait. Nina. Nina!

Stop! Please!

Ferdinand!

(GRUNTS)

Nina!

(BELLOWING)

Ferdinand.

Ferdinand!

Ferdinand.

No!

(TRUCK RATTLING)

(GRUNTS)

FERDINAND:
Oh, no.

No, not back here. No, no, no.

This can't be happening.

I need to get outta here.

Stop the truck!

Stop the truck!

There's been a mistake. Stop!

(BELLOWS)

Oy! He's going to tear

that truck apart.

What did I tell you,

Seor Moreno?

He's a beast.

(GRUNTING)

Get the calming goat.

Where is the calming goat?

Get the calming goat.

(GOAT BLEATS)

Ow! Ow! Jeez Louise!

Real classy, guys.

Way to treat a lady.

Who's that?

Hey, big guy. Name's Lupe.

I'm going to be

your calming goat.

My calming goat?

That's right.

I'm here to soothe you now.

So you can maim

and gore things later.

Let's try some deep

relaxing breaths.

In. Out.

You're not helping.

Oh, yeah? Well, maybe

you're not helping.

You ever think of that? No.

Because no one

ever wants to help

the stinking calming goat,

right?

Okay, now I got

to calm myself down.

In. Out.

I need to get out!

In. Out.

(BLEATS)

Whoa! He is a monster.

(GROANS)

I think I fell

on something sharp.

LUPE:
(MUFFLED) Move!

What?

Goat. (GASPING)

Oh!

Oh, sorry about that.

So sorry. So sorry.

Here you go. Here you go.

Watch it, buster.

You could have ki...

Whoa!

(BLEATS)

Holy beefaroni!

You're ginormous!

Listen. It's Lupe, right?

There's been a huge

misunderstanding.

I really need your help here.

Well, well, hold the phone.

You want my help?

Yeah! That would be amazing.

(SCREAMS)

I've been waiting

for this moment

my whole flea-bitten,

tin-chewing life, mister!

You have?

Oh, yes, I have!

(LAUGHS)

Yes, I have.

Believe it or not,

I'm not the world's

best calming goat.

No...

My true destiny

is to be a coach.

Okay...

Whoo! Look at those pecs.

It's like two little

baby bulls inside of a bull.

Moving on down the flank.

Flank looks good.

A- plus on the flank.

Mama like that.

Mama like that. Whew.

Ow!

Terrible reflexes.

We gotta work on that.

What are you talking about?

Work on what? Whoa!

Getting you ready for the

bullfighting ring, my friend.

That's why you're here, right?

No! Listen, I really need

to get back home.

This is your home.

You made it.

With your raw talent

and my coaching expertise...

we're going from

hola to ol in a day!

No, that is not gonna happen.

Oh. Stop it with the modesty.

You're the bull who destroyed

a whole village, right?

Wrong! It was an accident.

And did you really eat a baby?

You think I ate a baby?

Not denying it. Interesting.

Denying it!

Definitely denying it.

(SINGING) Whoo!

He's a brick, uh, house

(VOCALIZES TUNE)

I can't wait to show you off

to the rest of the guys.

They're going

to fertilize the yard.

No, no, no. Lupe, wait.

You really don't have to...

Oh. Uh...

Hey, guys. How ya doing?
