Tulio • Soccer Announcer

Blu: [as Tulio is making strange bird like noises in front of him] Linda! Little help here! Linda?
Linda: Wow! You're actually communicating!
Tulio: Yes! Yes! I introduced myself and shook my tail feathers counter clockwise, thus referring to his dominance.
Blu: [to himself] I did not get that at all.

Linda: [to Blu after picking him up from his fall] Are you okay?
Tulio: Perhaps he's too domesticated.
Linda: It was very nice of you to stop in and squawk around and throw my bird. But now it's time for you to go.
Tulio: Well... I... I'm very sorry. I'm... I'm very sorry. But... wait... wait! Linda! Linda!
[Linda walks him out of her shop]
Tulio: This could be our last chance.
Linda: Have a safe flight.
[she shuts her shop door in his face and walks away]
Tulio: Linda, please listen to me! If we don't do this, his whole species will be gone!
[he throws his business card through her shop door post flap]
Tulio: Just think about it.

Linda: Um. Look, I know you're doing your job, but I can't... well, Blu is very particular. And we have our little routine here. And we're not big on travel. Heck, he doesn't even fly!
Tulio: But of course he can fly.
[takes Blu and inspects him]
Tulio: He's a perfect specimen.
Linda: Uh... what you are doing?
Tulio: Don't worry, their natural instincts always tell them to fly.
[he lets Blu go so that he will fly]
Linda: Wait! Wait! Wait! No! No!
[Blu crashes on to the ground]
Tulio: Well, almost always.
Linda: Blu!

Linda: [crying after finding out Blu has been taken] This is all my fault!
Tulio: No, Linda! Linda! Please! This is not your fault.
Linda: You're right. It's not my fault. It's your fault!
Tulio: What?
Linda: With your little bird talk! And that whole 'last of his species'! Well, you know what? Squawk, squawkety, squawk, squawk! Haah!
[realizing what she's done]
Linda: I'm sorry! I didn't mean to curse!
Tulio: I... I don't understand. Sylvio is the best guard in the business!

Tulio: You know your macaw is a very special bird. In fact, as far as we know, Blu is the last male of his kind.
Linda: Really?
Tulio: Yes. And recently we've found a female and our hope is to bring the two of the them together to save their species.
Linda: Oh! Well, yeah! Sure! When can she come over?
Tulio: Oh, no, no! She's in Brazil. Blu must come to Rio de Janeiro.
Linda: [laughing] Rio. Brazil. Oh, no! No. No. No. No. No. No! I never let Blu out of my sight. He needs me.
Tulio: Oh, no! You... you misunderstand. It's all arranged. You will be with him every step of the way. And I will be with you.

Linda: [in the bird sanctuary] So, where's Jewel?
Tulio: Oh, we have a special place for Jewel. She's a very spirited bird.
Aviary Intern: Aahh! I'll say.
[he turns and his face is covered in scratches and bruises]
Blu: She did that? Ah, charming! Okay, I wanna go home now!
Tulio: [as he hears Blu squawk with fear] No, no! Don't worry. I'm gonna make you look irresistible.

Linda: [Linda watches on the monitor as Blu and Jewel struggle, thinking they're mating] Wow! That was fast.
Tulio: Lionel Richie. Works every time. We should probably give them some privacy.

Tulio: Nice of you to join me for dinner. I often eat alone. Oh, uh... because, of course I work.
Linda: [laughing] I thought I was the bird nerd until I met you.
Tulio: Yes. Right. Do you have a favorite bird?
Linda: Well, obviously I'm a blue macaw kinda gal.
Tulio: [laughing] That makes sense. They are very handsome birds.
Linda: Actually, it's the brains I'm more attracted to. I'm not so impressed by fancy feathers.
Tulio: I know exactly what you mean. My favorite bird is a spotted owl. I've always been mesmerized by those big, round, intelligent eyes.
[he looks at Linda's eyes which are big, round, and intelligent-looking]

Tulio: [dressed in a macaw costume; looks in a mirror and makes bird noises] Cyanopsitta Spixii!
