Rio Page #3

Leaf. Told you.

Now, come on, we need to find

a safe place to spend the night.

Safe? Safe?

We are in the jungle.

You know when people say,

"It's a jungle out there"?

Well, I'm pretty sure

they don't mean it as a good thing.

Look, I hate to break it to you,

but this is where our kind naturally lives.

Hey, don't talk to me about nature.

I watch Animal Planet.

I know all about the food chain.

You see?

Out here, I'm just an hors d'oeuvre.

Nothing more than a feathery spring roll.

That is why we stay in the trees

and not on the ground.

After you.

No, I don't think so.

No. I would feel much more comfortable

in something man-made.

Hey, how about up there?

I can't believe

I have to drag your clumsy butt up there.

Drag me?

Watch and learn.

Blu! Just wait one...

Blu?

Who's dragging whose butt now?

Very funny.

You see? Who needs flying?

Birds. Birds need flying.

Flying is...

It's freedom

and not having to rely on anyone.

Don't you want that?

I don't know.

It sounds a little lonely.

Let's get some sleep.

I'm probably going to be up

for a little while.

Because I'm still on Minnesota time.

Good night.

Good night, Jewel.

Good night, Linda.

Excuse me, sir?

Have you seen my bird?

Have you seen my bird?

Excuse me?

Have you seen my bird?

Have you seen my bird? Blue feather.

Lady! American lady!

- Blu?

- Where?

Wow. I know where your birds are.

You found Blu? Are you sure?

It's his!

Let me see that.

You're right.

Okay. Where is he?

Come on, let's go! I'll take you to him.

No, no. Linda, wait.

We don't know this boy.

We can't trust him.

I have to trust him.

I don't have a choice.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

They were two birds

chained together in a cage.

How could you lose them?

They outsmarted us, boss.

But don't worry, we'll get them back.

I have a plan.

Great. What are you going to do?

Wander the city calling

"Here birdie, birdie. Here birdie"?

Well, anything sounds dumb

when you say it like that.

Okay. We have to get the birds

to the airport tonight.

But it's Carnaval.

All the roads will be blocked by the parade.

And that's why

I wanted to go this morning.

Nigel.

This bird is 10 times smarter

than the two of you combined.

Yeah, well, if he's so smart,

then why don't you put him in charge?

I am putting him in charge.

Stop suggesting things.

Go find them, Nigel.

If we can't get through the parade,

we'll have to be in the parade.

Are you sure

this is going to work?

Positive. Check out my math.

Yeah, that's comforting. Thank you.

Look, let's just get this chain broken.

Right. Then we can go and find Linda.

No, you can go find Linda.

Once this chain is off, I'm going to go

back to being free in the jungle. Deal?

Fine. Deal.

Nice try, brainiac.

I think something is watching us.

Be careful, Blu.

They might snuggle you to death.

Come here.

Intruders!

Cut it out!

Now stop...

No! Don't!

Attack!

Help!

What's going on down there?

Go, go. Off with you.

Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!

I've told you a thousand times.

Manoela, Sofia, come on now, listen to me.

Oh, yeah, right in the eye.

Precious, aren't they?

Kids? Seventeen of them

and one on the way.

Hey! He's not a maraca, stop shaking him!

They're giving me gray feathers.

This papa needs a break.

So, you two lovebirds headed for Carnaval?

- Lovebirds?

- We're more like acquaintance-birds.

Not even that, we're more like

chained-to-each-other birds.

Yeah. I mean, if...

What is it with this kid and the feathers?

We have no idea. We're having him tested.

So, do you think you could help us

get this thing off?

Lucky for you, you know Rafael,

and Rafael knows everyone.

Again with the eye.

Okay, want me to call your mother?

No!

Works every time.

They're scared to death of her.

Call me for what?

Eva, my love...

I must take this young couple to see Luiz.

Luiz!

You don't fool me for a second.

You and your amigo

just want to sneak off to Carnaval.

Carnaval.

That magical time when I met

the most beautiful bird in the world.

I still remember the song that was playing

when I first laid eyes on you.

Tall and tan and

young and lovely

The girl from Ipanema

goes walking

Come on, baby, sing it!

And when she passes,

each one she passes goes, ah!

Like a river of the sweetest honey.

I guess love is deaf, too.

Come here.

Okay. Take them to Luiz, but hurry back.

You are an angel.

I'll miss you my juicy little mango.

I'll miss you my pudgy papaya.

Hey! Marco! Carlos!

Put your brother down, now!

I can't believe she actually let me go.

So, how far is this Luiz?

Not far. Thirty minutes as the crow flies.

And how long as the macaw walks?

- Bobo here can't fly.

- But he's a bird.

Not all birds fly.

There are ostriches...

You're not an ostrich.

- Not technically, but...

- Wait.

My friends, I want to help,

but to walk the whole way...

It can't be done!

Where's Daddy?

- Daddy? Daddy?

- Come over here. Go back to your room.

But, hey.

We might as well give it a shot.

Let's go quickly.

No, don't look back. They sense fear.

What an adorable monkey.

Hey! My watch!

Hello, boys.

Seems like you've had a busy day.

What? This?

This is just some stuff we found.

Right, boys?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

I'm not interested

in your nicked knick-knacks.

Your burgled baubles bore me.

There are two blue macaws out there

and I need your multitude of eyes

to help me find them.

Yeah? What's in it for us?

Well, that's a fair question.

Let's discuss it.

I certainly see your point, but what

could I possibly do for you in return?

Save me! Save me!

Well, that's a thought. Yeah.

But is it enough? I don't want

to feel like I'm cheating you.

Help me! Help me! No, no!

We'll do it, we'll do it. Save me, please.

Save me!

All right, you've twisted my wing.

Deal.

Now then? Any more questions?

No? Good.

You will spread out and you will find

these macaws by the end of the day

or it's flying lessons for everyone!

Go!

Go do your monkey business.

I've changed my mind, yeah.

Maybe we can find a bus schedule

or something.

Come on, you're not going to back out now.

Not in front of the lady.

Okay, yeah. Yeah, sure.

All right, that's the spirit.

You're sure you're up for this?

Yeah, yeah. I mean,

it's not like we're just hurling

ourselves off a mountain or something.

Right?

Actually that was

pretty much my entire plan.

What?

Don't worry, Blu, it's in your DNA.

And if our featherless friends can do it,

how hard can it be?

Wait, wait!

Mommy!

Fun, right?

Yeah. Fun.

Okay. I need you two to get closer.

Closer.

Closer.

Nice.

Now put your wings around each other.

- What?

- Come on, amigo!

It's not like she's going to bite!

Will you?

We'll see.

Now,

you flap your right wing,

you flap your left wing,

and together you fly.

But this doesn't seem

aerodynamically possible.

You think too much.

Flying is not what you think up here,

it's what you feel in here.

And when you feel the rhythm
