Rio Quotes

Blu: Hey, are you okay?
Jewel: No, I am definitely not okay! [she starts throwing herself at the cage bars]
Blu: Woah, woah, woah! Wait, wait! What are you doing?
Jewel: Getting out of here! Are you going to help me or what?
Blu: A-Actually all the survival guides say to sit and wait. And... and help will come.
Jewel: No one is coming! [she throws herself more violently at the cage]
Blu: Woah!
Jewel: We're on our own and if we just sit here, we're going to die!

Movie: Rio
Blu: [as Jewel is continuing to throw herself around the cage]Stop! Stop! Why don't you just open the door? [he slides open the cage door with his beak]
Jewel: Are you kidding me?
Blu: What? It's just a standard flip-slide door.

Movie: Rio
Jewel: [Jewel flies out of the cage and grabs hold of Blu, but Blu grabs the cage with his beak]What are you doing?
Blu: I can't...
Jewel: What? You can't what? [Marcel's men open the door to catch them in the act of escaping and Blu lets go of the cage]
Blu: Fly! I can't fly! [they both fall onto a washline and start sliding across it]
Jewel: You couldn't have told me this before now?
Blu: It didn't matter before now! [they crash into a wall]
Jewel: I hate you!

Movie: Rio
Jewel: [after they crash land to the ground]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?

Movie: Rio
Jewel: [as they are running away from Marcel's men]Aw, this is great! I'm chained to the only bird in the world who can't fly!
Blu: Actually, there are about forty species of flightless birds.
Jewel: Duck!
Blu: No, ducks can fly.
Jewel: No! Duck! [referring to them ducking under a cart they're about to encounter]

Movie: Rio
Jewel: Now, uh... just come on! We need to find a safe place to spend the night.
Blu: 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.
Jewel: Look, I hate to break it to you, but this is where our kind naturally lives.
Blu: Hey, hey! Don't talk to me about nature. I watch Animal Planet. I know all about the food chain. [just then a bug flying by gets eaten by a frog sticking his tongue out to grab it]
Blu: Ah! You see? You see, out here, I'm just an hors d'oeuvre! Nothing more than a feathery spring roll.
Jewel: That is why we stay in the trees and not on the ground.

Movie: Rio
Jewel: [pointing to a large tree ahead of them]After you.
Blu: Oh! No, I don't think so. Nuh-uh! No. I would feel much more comfortable in something man-made. Um, hey, how about up there? [pointing to a man-made tree house]

Movie: Rio
Blu: [as Blu reaches the top of the tree house]You see? Who needs flying?
Jewel: Birds. Birds need flying. Flying is... it's freedom and... and not having to rely on anyone. Don't you want that?
Blu: Mmm, I don't know. Sounds a little lonely.
Jewel: Get some sleep.
Blu: Uh, I-I-I'm probably gonna be up for a little while. Well, cause I'm... I'm still on Minnesota time.
Jewel: Goodnight.
Blu: Good night, Jewel. [looks out into the sky]
Blu: Good night, Linda.

Movie: Rio
Marcel: Nigel? [Nigel flies over onto Marcel's shoulder]
Marcel: This bird is ten times smarter than the two of you combined.
Tipa: Yeah, well if he's so smart, then why don't you put him in charge?
Marcel: I am putting him in charge.
Armando: [to Tipa]Stop suggesting things!
Marcel: Go find them, Nigel. [Nigel flies out of the window in search of Blu and Jewel]

Movie: Rio
Jewel: [as they are pulling up a huge rock on a rope]Are you sure this is gonna work?
Blu: Positive. Check out my map. [pointing to the map he's drawn on the ground]
Jewel: Yeah, that's... that's comforting, thank you. Look, let's just get this chain broken.
Blu: Right. Then we can go and find Linda.
Jewel: No, you can go find Linda. Once this chain is off, I'm gonna go back to being free in the jungle. Deal?
Blu: Fine. Deal. [he puts one of his wings up accidentally, pulling the lever holding the rock off its hook]

Movie: Rio
Jewel: [referring to Rafael's children]Oh! Precious, aren't they?
Rafael: Kids! Seventeen of 'em! And one on the way. [shouting to two of his children shaking an unhatched egg]
Rafael: Hey! He is not a baraka! Stop shaking him! [turning to Blu and Jewel]
Rafael: They're giving me grey feathers! Oh, this papa needs a break!

Movie: Rio
Rafael: So, you two lovebirds headed for carnival?
Jewel: Wow! Love birds?
Blu: We're more like acquaintance birds.
Jewel: And not even that! We're more like chained-to-each-other birds.
Blu: Yeah. I... I mean... aaah! [one of Rafael kids pulls his feather]
Blu: What is it with this kid and feathers?
Rafael: We have no idea. We're having him tested.

Movie: Rio
Nigel: Hello, boys. Seems like you've had a busy day.
Lead marmoset: What, this? [referring to all the stuff they've stolen from tourists]
Lead marmoset: This is just some stuff we... found! Right boys? [the crowd of monkeys all agree]
Nigel: I'm not interested in your nicked knick-knacks. Your burgled baubles bore me.

Movie: Rio
Nigel: There are two blue macaws out there, and I need your multitude of eyes to help me find them.
Lead marmoset: Oh, yeah? What's in it for us?
Nigel: Well, that's a fair question. [he suddenly takes the lead marmoset and flies high into the sky]
Nigel: Let's discuss it. [Nigel drops him]
Nigel: I certainly see your point. [to the lead marmoset as he's falling down]
Nigel: But what could I possibly do for you in return? Hmm?
Lead marmoset: Save me! Save me!
Nigel: Oh? Well, that's a thought. Yeah. But is it enough? I don't want to feel like I'm cheating you.
Lead marmoset: Help me! Help me! Help me! We'll do it! We'll do it! Save me! Please! Save meeeee! [just before he hits the ground, he stops as Nigel catches him]
Nigel: All right, you've twisted my wing. Deal. Now then, anymore questions? [the group of monkeys remain silent]
Nigel: 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! [the group of monkeys all scream with fright and run off]

Movie: Rio
Jewel: You're sure you're up for this?
Blu: Yeah. Yeah, I mean, well it's not like we're just hurling ourselves off a mountain or something, right?
Rafael: Actually, that was pretty much my entire plan.
Blu: What?
Rafael: No. Don't worry, Blu. It's in your DNA. And if our featherless friends can do it, how hard can it be? [just then a human tourist hand gliding off the cliff shouts out for help]
Man on glider: Mommy!
Blu: Fun, right?
Blu: Yeah. Fun.

Movie: Rio
Rafael: [as Rafael is demonstrating flying to Blu]See, it's easy!
Blu: Easy? Easy for you to say. 'Cause from... from here it looks really, really hard!
Jewel: Hey, if you want to see Linda again, this is the only way.
Blu: Okay, you're right.
Jewel: Yes, I am.
Blu: This is for Linda.
Jewel: Right!
Blu: Keep it simple.
Jewel: Easy-breezy.
Blu: Thrust, lift, drag.
Jewel: Oh, come on! Let's go! [she drags him along]
Blu: Wait!

Movie: Rio
Blu: [after Blu and Jewel have crash-landed to the ground from Blu's failed attempt at flying]I would love to go five minutes without almost getting killed! Is that too much to ask?
Jewel: For a bird who can't fly? Oh, yeah!

Movie: Rio
Rafael: I'm gonna chew through my own leg if this doesn't come off soon!
Rafael: Relax. If I know Luiz, we're right where we wanna be.

Movie: Rio
Blu: [as they've gotten away from the monkeys]Man, we threw down!
Jewel: Yeah, we threw down!
Rafael: You guys were like fire and ice!
Nico: Thunder and lightnin'!
Pedro: Hip 'n' hop!
Blu: Cheese and sprinkles! [they all stop laughing and give Blu a strange look]
Blu: It's a Minnesota thing. [they all laugh]
Rafael: You see? Nothing you say makes any sense!

Movie: Rio
Nigel: [grabs hold of a tiny green bird]Stop your chirping and talk to me!
Green bird: No! No! No! I don't know anything! Help!
Nigel: Mmm... when I bite down on your head, will it go pop? Or will it go crack? [he squeezes hard on the little green birds head]
Nigel: Where are the cerulean birds? That means blue, by the way.
Green bird: Went to Luiz.
Nigel: Anything else?
Green bird: They said you were very nice.
Nigel: Hmm... did they? Well... liar!
Green bird: And... handsome too. [Nigel throws the little green bird and it hits the lead marmoset in the head]
Nigel: Never send a monkey to do a bird's job.

Movie: Rio
Rafael: [they watch in dismay as Jewel gives Blu the Heimlich maneuver]Yep. That's my boy.

Movie: Rio
Rafael: [as he notices Blu and Jewel starting to argue]Okay! Okay! You know what? This is good. Just clear the air. Just be completely honest with each other.
Blu: You want honesty? Fine. Fine, I can be honest. I don't belong here. In fact, I never wanted to come here in the first place. And... and... and you know what? I hate Samba!
Pedro: [Rafael, Nico and Pedro gasp with shock and Nico bursts into tears]Hey! That's a little too far!
Nico: [to Pedro]Make the mean bird take it back!
Blu: Yeah! I said it! Every song sounds exactly the same. [he mimics the samba music and dance]
Blu: Tico-taco, ya-ya-ya! Tico-taco, ya-ya-ya! Urrgh! I'm tico-taco outta here.
Jewel: Fine! See you around, pet! [Jewel flies away and Blu walks away]
Rafael: No, no, ,no! Wait, wait, wait! Come back! You belong together! You are Juliet to his Romeo! Sure they both die in the end, but you get my point! [Nico and Pedro towards Rafael]
Rafael: Ah, young love! Always so melodramatic. All right, boys. Go after her.

Movie: Rio
Nigel: [Nigel catches Jewel as she's flying]Going somewhere, pretty bird?
Jewel: Oh, yeah! I was just on my way to claw your eyes out! [she punches him in the face, Nico and Pedro see Nigel get ahold of Jewel]
Nigel: Temper, temper. Now come along, my dear. We're going to a parade. And everybody loves a parade!

Movie: Rio
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.

Movie: Rio
Linda: [last lines; Linda watches as Blu flies away behind Jewel towards the jungle]That's my big brave boy.

Movie: Rio
Nigel: [jumping onto the cage Blu and Jewel are being held in]Oh, I know I'm not a pretty birdy. But I used to be quite a looker. [shows them a poster with himself looking dashing on it]
Nigel: A star! Lights. Camera. Action! [he starts singing]
Nigel: I was striking, suave, ambitious feet to beak, so birdy-licious. Now I am vile, I am villainous and vicious. Oh! And malicious. I had it all. A TV show, Women too! I was tall, over one foot two! And then they got a pretty parakeet to fill my shoes. That's why I am so evil why I do what I do! [a chorus of birds starts singing]

Nigel: It was him.

Nigel: I'm invincible.
Chorus of birds: He's nasty!
