Rio 3 Transcript

Eduardo's chat with Blu

Eduardo leads Blu up to the top of the waterfall and perches upon a stone. Blu lands next to him and asks him what is going on.

Blu: Why did you bring me here, Eduardo? What's so urgent?

Eduardo: Blu, I have thought long and hard about something for a while. I realize that I am getting old and won't be able to do my duty for much longer. I have made a decision about who should be the next leader of the tribe.

Blu: Who would that be? Roberto?

Eduardo: No.

Blu: Jewel?

Eduardo: No, Blu.

Blu: That cranky old macaw?

Eduardo: No. Blu, I believe that you should be the next leader. I have no doubts that you have every capability to lead them.

Blu: I... I... I don't know, Eduardo. I mean, I've been a household companion for most of my life. Besides, I haven't really fully adjusted life here in the forest.

Eduardo: I've seen what you're capable of, Blu. I have trusted you ever since you saved us from those loggers. You have the stuff it takes to be a true leader. Your family would be proud of you.

Blu realizes that that is what he was missing all along; his family. He had been abandoned in a nest near Rio, and he never saw his parents or siblings again.

Blu: Look, Eduardo, that is just what I am missing. I have never seen my family since the day they left me in that nest near Rio. After I was smuggled to Minnesota, Linda was the one who filled that void.

Eduardo: I tell you what, I will give you some time to think it over a bit. And when you reach a decision, you can let me know what you've decided. Ok?

Blu: Yeah.. I guess. Thanks Eduardo.

Eduardo: Any time. Now, I will let you go. Don't want to keep your family's time much longer.

Blu: Ok. Thank... Wait, what? How did you...

Blu turns aside, embarrassed that Eduardo overheard his and Jewel's conversation.

Eduardo: I'm sorry, Blu. I can't help it. Even though I am getting old, I still have a great sense of hearing.

Blu: Oh. Oook. Talk to you later.

Eduardo: See you later, Blu. Have fun with your family.
