Paulie Edit

A A A A And p p p please hurry.

A a a and I have lots of princess dresses.

A a and I a am the princess.

A green parrot.

A lot more than ten bucks, baby.

A pie can be a magpie, a collection of rules, a copper coin

Actually, I have located the owner. It's Marie Alweather.

Administration, lecture rooms and the laboratories.

Afterward, when I'm come near to her...

Ah, yes. You and I are right here,

Ah. (Chuckles)

All right, all right. I'll go get some help.

All right, all right. I'll go get some help.

All right, Chekhov. Sit down.

All right, Marie. Let's take your time. There's no hurry, OK?

All right, well, let's get back in the cab, huh?

All right.

All right. Mango, mango, mango.

All right. See ya.

Alweather, Alweather, Alweath... Alweather!

Alweather. Alweather!

Am I supposed to leave her there totally frustrated?

And a guy's serving alcohol to children.

And addresses in case they get lost.

And because language is so tied...

And get back to work before you get us both fired.

And good for growing feathers.

And I gotta be honest, it's pretty disgusting.

And I gotta be honest, there's gotta be 1,000 maniacs running around here.

And I promise you,

And I really hate to part with it, you know?

And I say to myself, "My God, she's beautiful.

And I was in a brochure for Costa Rica.

And if you don't believe me, look it up, blondie.

And it's pretty close by.

And just as every journey starts with a single step,

And Marie is right there.

And maybe you'll feel more comfortable practicing at home.

And maybe, uh, run some tests.

And that's not all I was afraid of.

And the gap is called speech.

And whatever you do, don't bother the professors.

And you are a liar and a coward and a very rude man.

And you knew. You knew it all the time.

And you're fired.

And... some nice mango.

Angle. Listen to you.

Any drink, please. Somebody.

Anything?

Are you bird or dog?

Are you prepared to throw in that potholder on your head?

At wedding, she take me aside and say,

B Bird.

Bad idea. Very bad.

Because I can guarantee you that she will be.

Because talking just gets you into trouble.

Because you're a loser, that's why.

Before I'm coming to America, there was girl.

Believe it, Tolstoy, but don't forget the fruit, the mango.

Benny! Benny!

Benny! Benny! Benny, where ya goin'?

Besides, I can't go without you.

Besides, I don't know where she lives.

Between fantasy and reality.

Betwixt and between, that's us.

Bird.

Build him up a bit. He looks a little undernourished.

But get to the heart of language itself.

But he's not eat, I think, and he lose his feather.

But how to buy when not been paid?

But I'd like to keep him here a few days...

But I'm afraid I may be lost. Can you tell me where I am?

But ter fly.

But the bird hasn't made us that much money.

But there's a difference between cognizant speech and parroting.

But things change.

But tonight, we sing, hmm? Have a big time.

But we just never got that far.

But when Zintar fell on hard times,

But, uh, don't worry.

But, well, you see these people?

But, you know, she left one very important thing out.

Bye. Good luck.

C C C C...

C Cup.

C up.

Can you tell her I found Paulie.

Can't fly. # Cha, cha cha cha, cha... #

Can't have him trying to fly away again.

Come in handy to an intelligent guy, huh?

Come on, Artie. We haven't pawned anything all day.

Come on, Benny!

Come on, come on. Sit down.

Come on, Paulie. D Don't look down.

Come on, taco man. I'm just joking around.

Come on, who's the coolest bird in L. A?

Come on, would you let me out of the box?

Come on! Leave me alone! And don't come back!

Come on.

Come on. 50 bucks.

Come on. Birds fly.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. I'll show you where the incinerator is.

Come on. Leave me alone, cat! (Laughing)

Come on. Now, fly. Come on, fly.

Come on. We've got some shrimps on the barbecue for ya.

Come over here! Yeah.

Come, Paulie.

Come.

Come... (Yells)

Cops? Yeah, how ya doin'?

Could we stop at the world's largest ball of twine?

Could you help me? I'm a little lost.

Covered in a layer of paste and baked?

Cup.

Cup.

Cup.

Cute. Do you train the bird to insult your customers?

D D Do y you like this?

Diamonds? Ruby, it's a little out of my league.

Did you see that?

Did you teach him that?

Didn't work out. Loss of funding or something. I can't remember.

Different color.

Do you know anybody by that name?

Do you think you could use a little bit of help?

Do you think you could use a little bit of help?

Does he have a name?

Does Marie Alweather live there?

Don't be afraid.

Don't leave me! I'm stuck in here! Benny, the kid's got a weapon!

Don't look down. You could do it.

Don't worry about him.

Don't worry about the cages or what's in 'em.

Don't worry, though. We'll find Marie.

Don't you think if we had an animal with that kind of intelligence,

Dude.

Earl and I used to travel all of the time, you know?

Earl said that if you stand right at the edge just when the sun comes up,

Eat your dinner.

Everybody wants a piece of the action, huh?

Everyone can see that I can talk.

Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt your little testosterone festival,

Excuse me, please. Sorry I'm calling so early.

First, I did a stint as a window display

Five, zero, seven, zero.

Fl Flower.

For a dish composed of meat, fowl, fish or vegetables,

From the N.I.H. and the N.S.F.

G G Good boy.

G G Good.

G G Grandpa g got him for me.

G Go down.

Get 'em! Get 'em!

Get down from the furniture. Get down. You don't even like salad.

Get on line.

Get ready to turn. Da. Turn.

Get somebody!

Get the bird.

Give it to me, you mop monkey.

Go ahead, buddy. Go ahead.

Go away. Leave me alone.

Go on, Paulie. Get the jewelry for us.

Go on! Get out of here!

Go on. That's it. Go outside, Muffy or Pumpkin, or duh...

Good night, Marie. I love you, too.

Good night.

Good.

Good.

Grandpa!

Great, great. We'll just order her to stop stuttering? Is that it?

Great. Now we're both in trouble.

H H H...

H H His n name is Paulie.

Handshake first, kiss later, OK?

He belongs to the Institute.

He can talk.

He could get lost or get eaten by a goat.

He could seriously injure himself.

He had even crazier ideas than you have.

He had to choose between me and the cape.

He is the most extraordinary creature I have ever encountered.

He keeps talking about a Marie Alweather.

He repeats what he hears. He does not talk.

He talk.

He talk.

He told her how he feel.

He understand speech. He even insult me.

He's the property of the Institute now.

He's very polite.

Hello?

Hello? What are you talking about, "that much money"? We're doin' great!

Hello.

Here comes Santa!

Hey, all of you! Get your little feathered butts back in here.

Hey, but after tonight, we'll have enough money to find your Marie.

Hey, could I get a drink today, huh?

Hey, good shot. You almost got him.

Hey, I'll give you $50 for that green parrot over there.

Hey, taco guy! Come on!

Hey, thanks, man.

Hey, wait. Where you going? Hey, wait for me.

Hey, what if she ain't in the phone book? That's what...

Hey, why don't you try it and let me know.

Hey, you, come on down here.

Hey! Hey, Paulie! Where did you go?

Hi, I'm Paulie. Uh, Paul.

Hmm, you miss Earl.

Hmm?

Hmm? It's very juicy...

Hold it right there. Turn around.

Houses are cheaper with wheels.

How about this nice toaster oven for top brown only?

How do I score that?

How much you want for him, Artie?

Huh? Uh, maybe we got off to a bad start.

I am Mikeal Andreovich Belenkoff.

I appreciate your concern, Mister...

I can be your eyes. I can watch the road for you.

I can prove you to it.

I can't breathe.

I can't even remember.

I can't stand to see her suffer. I can't stand it!

I can't thank you enough.

I cannot believe you, Benito.

I could see how his unique skills could really...

I did a bunch of things.

I did some work as a magician's assistant doing children's parties,

I don't believe it. You can talk?

I don't even know your name.

I don't know about me. I'm talking to a bird.

I don't know, pal. It's a very expensive operation.

I don't know, Warren. She loves that bird.

I don't know.

I don't normally do this. I'm just trying to be a good citizen.

I don't see how this is bridging the gap.

I don't think she can tell the difference

I don't think you know what you're doing.

I don't think you put enough pressure on her.

I got worse than that.

I gotta tell you, Paulie. God!

I just grew up, that's all.

I just think all this "we love you whatever you do" is not gonna help.

I just would like someone to talk to.

I just...

I know parrot talk. He sing song.

I know this is frustrating, but we have to follow protocol

I know...

I like long stories.

I made it! L. A! I don't believe it!

I miss my language.

I miss words.

I promise.

I really think that we should consider getting rid of the bird.

I said, "I like pie."

I said, join the club.

I say book mean one thing.

I see claws and teeth and eyes. And claws and teeth and eyes.

I see her on stage.

I should be, like, lounging by a pool in a mansion,

I think I know that bird from somewhere.

I think this is the one.

I think you've said enough. Let us do our job and you do yours.

I thought I'd give her someone to talk to. I named him Paulie.

I thought you liked mangos the best.

I told you, talking just gets you into trouble.

I try not to live in past. Only present tense since I come.

I want you to understand what it is we do here.

I was afraid of heights.

I was quiet. I'm sorry I was, but I was afraid of him.

I was thinking more along the lines

I was working behind curtain, in dark.

I wasn't laughing at you. Come on. Leave me alone.

I will take you to see Marie when we're done.

I'd like to get some lunch, you lab rat!

I'd love it if you stayed.

I'll get the trash.

I'll let you take these cards with you,

I'll talk to you in a second, pal.

I'll teach you about books.

I'm afraid "please" just won't work in this situation.

I'm doing my best!

I'm going to the store. Wanna take a ride with me?

I'm just gonna cut a few primary flight feathers. It won't hurt.

I'm just lookin' for the right angle.

I'm not always sure.

I'm not very good at good byes, dear, so I think you should go now.

I'm Russian.

I'm sorry, dear. They've moved away.

I'm sorry. Excuse me. OK.

I'm sorry. We are in shock.

I'm sure that's just a trained response.

I'm trying to upgrade the level of your merchandise.

I've seen shot glasses cut better than that.

If it's so easy, why don't you do it?

If you wanna find Marie, you're gonna need lots of the green stuff.

If you want something, you gotta do more than just dream.

In a place called Bloomingdale's.

In America, I am cleaner of bird crap.

In cage, only can behave like prisoner.

In front of whole school.

In Russia, I was teacher of literature.

Is a multidisciplinary research program,

Is she getting any better? Is it going away?

Is that allowed? I didn't think so.

It doesn't match your coat. (Chuckles) Get down. Get down.

It is the thing that makes us us.

It just has to not have rainfall.

It's good to be scared sometimes.

It's how you say things. You have to be careful.

It's important to speak up.

It's just the floors in here.

It's like seeing the first sunrise in the whole world.

It's locked!

It's Marie! Help!

It's me, Paulie. It's Marie.

It's nice, if you give it a chance.

It's not exactly parrot friendly. He could twist an ankle.

It's not like somebody comes and drops a bunch on your doorstep.

It's the North Pole. It doesn't have to be hot to be a desert.

It's very expensive.

Ivy introduced me to a lot of wonderful things,

Ivy, look out! Get outta the way!

Just a little gold left.

Just gotta come up with the right plan.

Just mix a little in there, OK?

Just right now. And you send me a postcard when you get there.

Keep it up and you'll be in a cage yourself.

L. A? L. A! Oh, my gosh, I made it!

Learn some new words.

Let it out slowly.

Let's catch the number nine at Belmont. I'm bored.

Let's go.

Let's see.

Let's, uh, take a look at the flash cards.

Liar! Liar!

Liar! Liar! Liar!

Liar. Liar!

Like consciousness and logic and feelings,

Like I miss Marie.

Like I said, thank you, but he's not for sale.

Like the whole enchilada, the big salami, the grand prize.

Lila, just let her say it. Why don't you just let her say it?

Little conure.

Look at the size of this place, man.

Look at the stars. N Now spread your wings.

Look in the basket, sweetie.

Look in the human file. Look under little girls.

Look, I'll be right here.

Look, I'm sorry. You keep saying it for her. Let her say it.

Look, my name's Paulie, and I'm a little lost. I need some help.

Look.

Los Angeles is due west from here, right into the setting sun.

Lots of people train their birds to repeat names...

Lupe, you dropped your hat!

M a n g o. Mango. Are you happy now?

M.A.

M.A. Marie Alweather.

Mango.

Mango.

Marie, can you get that bird off the table?

Marie, can you help Mommy?

Marie, come back.

Marie, come see what your grandpa brought you.

Marie!

Marie! Marie! Hey, Marie, it's me!

Marie?

Marie.

May you're uncomfortable in there? Maybe you need a change.

Maybe address is still in his office.

Maybe I should go, you know? See if he's OK, you know?

Maybe I'm the one who should be locked up.

Maybe if I explain better. If I say...

Maybe is wrong word. Uh...

Maybe they have an unlisted number.

Maybe we should be asking,

Me llamo Lupe. Soy una pajara muy bonita.

Me! I'm the pie here. And if you don't mind...

Might as well be me.

Misha, don't be afraid to speak.

Misha, where you goin'?

Misha.

Mm hmm.

Mm, I know. You're thinking about Marie, huh?

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. Oh, this good.

Mostly we just listen and we watch.

Move it along, fella. You're broke. Come on.

Muchas gracias.

My bird is looking for his friend, Marie Alweather.

My late husband got it for me,

N N No. Paulie i i is helping me...

Nah, no. It wasn't that easy hitting rock bottom.

Nice and yellow on the inside.

No, Bunny, birds don't talk, and they don't teach, OK?

No, but it won't go away if you put too much pressure on her.

No, he belongs to little girl who needs him.

No, he understand. He's intelligent, Doctor.

No, I agree.

No, I could tell you're ugly all by myself.

No, I don't want to.

No, I was thinking about Lupe wearing nothing but that fruit hat.

No, I'm serious, Paulie. You're the best.

No, no, no. You can't start a job without a uniform.

No, no, no...

No, please, listen, sir.

No, uh, l l I'm telling you...

No.

No.

No. It's not that.

No. No. I am not fire.

No. Oh, come on. (Grunting)

No. That's the thing. The dirty mouth is all his.

Not in "Paulie" file. Not in "Parrot" file.

Not in any bird file.

Now say "house".

Now, here is some big banana,

Now, if that gap could be bridged, we could truly understand each other.

Now, we'll get you out, Paulie.

O OK.

Oh, are we in luck. There's only one Alweather in this book,

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Oh, my God.

Oh, no, no. I'm afraid you are not the right owner for him.

Oh, no. It's clear across the country. It's 3,000 miles.

Oh, of course you can.

Oh, the little conure. Yeah. Is he still with us?

Oh, this is my easel. It's a very fine one.

Oh, this is my little neighbor, Kimmy.

Oh, very pretty.

Oh, yeah? And what does that make you?

Oh, yeah. It's a pie. Then again,

Oh, yes, this going to taste delirious.

Oh, yes, this is a good one.

Oh, yes, you can.

Oh!

Oh! (Grunting)

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

OK, fairy godmother, m make me talk right.

OK, I'll see you in the morning.

OK, I'm talking to a bird.

OK, now spread your wings. D Don't look down.

OK, ready? One, two, fly!

OK, relax.

OK, that's it. Come on.

OK, uh, Chaco, uh, Paco, hello?

OK, what's your story?

OK, which of you three is the proprietor?

OK, y y you are the fairy godmother,

OK.

OK.

OK. Bye bye. (Hangs up)

OK... (Whistling) Hey, where you going? What'd I say?

One time, she act in play...

Ooh, that's a strong handshake.

Open this door!

Or shall I go sweep more floor?

Or what you call a fine lookin' lady.

P P Paulie understands.

P Paulie w wants a kiss, too.

Padre, you see this broad? She's a birdnapper. Let me out!

Paulie, come.

Paulie, don't be afraid.

Paulie, how did you find me?

Paulie, I love you! Fly back to me!

Paulie, is that really you?

Paulie, would you excuse us for a minute, please?

Paulie!

Paulie!

Paulie?

Paulie?

Paulie. Paulie.

Paulie's an old project for Dr. Reingold.

Pie can also mean a whole, as in the pie of which we crave a piece,

Please.

Please. I'm a bird. I have a small brain, and it's about to explode.

Police! Hey, look! It's the cops! Come on! Let's get out of here!

Pretty P Paulie.

Pretty quiet, aren't you there, Professor?

Put 'em up! Drop it!

Put your wings up.

Quit messing with that parrot

Recognize anything?

Remember the parrot I told you about, who helped me when I was little?

Right heres. No. Keep... Hey.

Right there. Well, not... You know, not literally.

Right. Fresh outta the showroom, right? Where's the receipt?

Rock. What are those?

Say "mango".

Scoop you out, fill you with foam and glue you to fake tree.

She doesn't have any other friends.

She had little flowers in her hair...

She has flowers in her hair.

She loves that bird.

She marry my best friend.

She said the bird told her the cat started it.

She say, "No, Misha. Book mean other thing."

She stole your words away.

She was very smart. And stubborn.

She would be pretty, but smart.

She would have books on her table and flowers in her hair.

She's all alone, and we're supposed to stick together.

She's growin'. Hi, Bunny.

She's right. We're wasting our time, when there are rocks to be grifted.

Shut up, you goddamn flying rat, shut up.

So I'm not crazy. You CAN talk.

So if I'm your fairy godmother, I command you to go to sleep.

So in case you ever go away, y you can fly back to me.

So they bring you here?

So what do we have tonight? Is it pretty?

So what you did next?

So, how do you know if you've met the right one?

So, you flew all the way here?

So, you're going to tell me what happened to Lupe,

Some guy from the National Geographic is talking about a special.

Somebody check this lady's purse. I bet she's got a hamster in there.

Somebody has to teach this beautiful bird some manners.

Somebody would have noticed?

Stop that man!

Sure, they're OK.

Sure, we talk about books. We even fight about them.

Take a deep breath.

Taking your fingers out of me for a moment,

Talk in parrot, so they'll understand.

Tell you what. I'm gonna have you moved out of here tonight.

Ten bucks? Come on, gimme a break.

Thank you.

That houses with wheels can go places.

That will not only unlock the mystery of animal communication,

That'd probably be more fun than Mount Rushmore.

That's a chair. Give me some of that.

That's how you find somebody. You gotta look 'em up in a phone book.

That's it, that's it, that's it. That's the one!

That's it. That's the house.

That's it. Very good.

That's not good. You don't wanna be on the furniture.

That's right, baby. You can do it. Look at me. Watch me. Cup.

That's the only way we'll get a piece of the pie.

That's what they all said.

That's...

The agency told you you had to pay for your own uniforms, right?

The biting kind. Be careful.

The claws! Look at those claws.

The feathers must have grown back. They always do.

The last time someone suggested that, it didn't work out so good.

The one in the song.

The one in the... down in in in dungeon.

The real question is,

The research assistants feed them.

The sun must almost be set.

The talking bird which you hope will make you rich. That kind of pie.

The, uh, skin test...

Them? (Chuckles)

Then when I started biting people, they moved me out of the sun.

Then you gotta hire some private detective or something.

There she is. There she is.

There's a truck up ahead. Don't those guys ever get tired?

There's more orange now, and it's getting darker.

There's no floor, no roof, no bathrooms.

There's no legal requirement that we have to return him.

There's rats the size of footballs,

They could have you deported. Come on, Misha.

They don't talk. I say "taco." They say "taco."

They just repeat what we say. They don't understand.

They talk.

They told you to say the word? I don't think so. Let her say it.

They're the real big shoots around here.

This goes on the glass tray. This goes in the star bowl, OK?

This is a map an atlas. It's a book full of maps.

This is a?

This is purgatory.

This is the main building.

This is what they do. And this is what I do.

This is what you've reduced me to. I've sold out for a piece of fruit.

This is why I come to America.

This is why I take job. To make money.

This program starts with a single, extraordinary subject.

This way, you got something to show for him.

This will change everything. I'm telling you,

To our non speaking animal subjects.

To prove that you're capable of cognizant speech.

To what it is to be human,

Turn around and go outside, you stupid hair ball. They're calling.

Uh, go, uh, go dig something up or bury something.

Uh, goodbye. Goodbye, Paulie.

Uh, I've come cleaning office. So... But I later come back.

Uh, yes.

Uh, yes. Uh, I'm looking for someone named Marie Alweather.

Uh, you know what? I thought it over, and I'm back.

Uh, you will have much to talk about.

Uh... I'm taking it.

Um, I'll tell you what.

Until now.

Very funny, toots. What do you got there?

Very plump papaya...

Virgil. First, he's singing. Now he's talking.

W What d did you bring me?

Wait t t t till Daddy sees you.

Want a bite? Hmm?

Watch your step.

We always used to talk about going to the Grand Canyon,

We gotta rehearse. You think this stuff just happens?

We have always been urged not to attribute human characteristics,

We live in a big castle,

We were student together at university.

We will find your Marie.

We'd like for you to identify the picture.

We're birds of a feather, you and I.

Wearing a mink coat and, like, 18 karat diamond earrings.

Well, for me...

Well, I don't think so, lady. See, I saw the bird first.

Well, I'm sorry, amigo. Such an Alweather is not in this book.

Well, many parrots have quite extensive vocabularies,

Well, not anymore, I'm afraid.

Well, once. Little bit.

Well, she's five years old. It's her imaginary friend.

Well, she's five years old. It's her imaginary friend.

Well, that was extremely rude.

Well, that's not unusual, either.

Well, why don't you fly? It's a lot faster.

Well, yes, important to have high standard.

Well...

Well...

What about a little fruit hat for Lupe?

What an angle.

What are we doing here? You never take me any place nice.

What are you doing down here? Get outta here!

What are you doing with Grandma's necklace?

What are you doing, Misha? Come on.

What are you looking at?

What are you talking about? This is nice. Look at this.

What are you workin' on? Cup. That's right.

What bird kind is this?

What do you say we just go over and surprise her?

What do you think you're doing?

What for? For phone books.

What happens when she goes to school? Do you think she'll be made fun of?

What is problem with you?

What is your problem, Benito? He's a freakin' bird! Just tell him.

What shall I have for lunch tonight?

What your name is, bird? Talk to me, bird.

What? How do you have a little bit of a girlfriend?

What? What is it?

What... What are you...

What... What he's doing down here?

What's the bird doing out of his cage?

What's the matter, my friend?

What's wrong with my manners? (Burps)

When did we get a bird?

When was that?

Where am I?

Who do you think you are?

Who knows? He's probably halfway to Guatemala by now.

Whoa, Marie. Look out!

Whoo hoo!

Why are you coming towards me? No, you...

Why does your house have wheels?

Why don't we have one guy on each end, and then Lupe in the middle?

Why don't you come and help me out? I'm tryin' to do a good deed.

Why don't you two go outside and play until Daddy gets here?

Woman say, "You like my hat?"

Won't you consider helping us?

Word of advice, my man. Try not to think so much,

Would you let me out of here, please?

Would you like some mango?

Would you stop with the loser. I'm not a loser.

Wow. I'm so glad you feel that way.

Y Y Y You like that?

Yeah, I like pie, too.

Yeah, Paulie.

Yeah, well, I have grant committees

Yeah, whatever. Dead husband aside, do you wanna pawn or sell?

Yeah, you. Come on.

Yeah.

Yeah. The one in the song.

Yes, I come to tell you, with great amazement,

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

Yes.

Yo, Artie, today is your lucky day.

You are some kind of weird bird, my friend.

You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me, man.

You can talk, but you can't fly. All right, see you around.

You can tell a real diamond from a fake?

You did it, Marie. You did it!

You did the right thing bringing him here, Gerald.

You get punch in nose.

You got big!

You got dreams, man. I respect that. I got dreams.

You gotta get out there. You gotta take it.

You gotta go to sleep, Marie.

You have to learn how to fly, Paulie.

You know what I mean? I'm down here at this taco stand,

You know what I was thinking?

You know what she said? Are you ready for this?

You know what you are, Paulie? You're my seeing eye parrot.

You know what? Maybe you can help me, though.

You know, I think I'll take him with me.

You know, I was thinking about costumes, you know?

You know, I would like that. I would like that very much.

You know, like that... what's her name... Dolores Del Rio.

You know, maybe they should stuff you,

You know, they study animal behavior.

You like mango, bird?

You made me your fairy godmother.

You promise?

You said that?

You say, "No, make you look like floor lamp."

You see, there's this gap between animals and humans.

You should learn how to fly, Paulie.

You stay here. You know, it's... Don't be frightened.

You tell me Dr. Reingold find where Marie lives.

You tell me. What do you think we should do?

You w w want some?

You were afraid to fly?

You'd have to grift for more than a year to make his numbers.

You'll just have to go ahead without me.

You're destroying laboratory property. They're gonna fire you!

You're going about finding your friend Marie the wrong way.

You're gonna get me a real diamond, and you're gonna help him.

You're in L.A. East L.A.

You're lonely, I think. I am lonely.

You're making too much noise.

You're missing out on something that's probably pretty great.

You're never gonna find your friend from singing under sombreros.

You're welcome.

You've been a dear friend to me, Paulie.

Your league, but not his.

50 bucks. Use it for something. He's a parrot.

1440 Spruce Lane, Cambria, California.

'A couple of night flybys and I found the perfect target.

'and was allowed to hang out on the couch

'any detective worth his trench coat could find her.

'because you think you're gonna do them later.

'before the big heist.'

'But the real thing Ivy taught me

'Cos I wanted to be there in the morning...

'Everything was going great. But you know how it is.

'First, you have to identify your target.'

'for the very first sunrise.'

'He knew me better than I knew myself.

'He was a small timer any way you looked at it.

'I don't know if that's cos they spent it all or cos we stole it.'

'I figured 1920s 14 karat gold's gotta be worth 950.'

'I figured, for the right amount of green stuff,

'I had the prettiest parrot in L.A. interested only in me,

'I hadn't forgotten Marie, but I got a little sidetracked.

'I wanted to learn more.'

'I was banished to this very uncomfortable coat rack,

'I was gonna give them a talking bird.'

'I was in show business, and for once in my life, I was a bird.'

'is to leave nothing that links you to the scene of the crime.'

'is you gotta live like there may not be a later.

'It was a box full of cheesy costume jewelry, except for one pendant.

'it's the things you love most that are the things they take away.'

'It's what she saw that mattered.

'Jumpin' up and down over 20s when there were bigger fish to fry.'

'Most of 'em stunk, but the one about hiring a detective was good.

'Now, that's scary.'

'Seems to me, the way it works out,

'She was a philosopher, an explorer.

'So they got rid of me.'

'So, deep down, people would understand if you stole it.

'So, we became a team.'

'Soon as you think you're OK,

'The mom couldn't cope.

'the past comes back to bite your tail feathers.'

'They were taking away the one thing that made me different from them.'

'Towards the end of the month, the pickings were always a little slim.

'Unfortunately, she also thought she was a singer.'

'We stopped by Ruby's favorite restaurant for a burrito

'What we were doing was wrong, and you always pay.'

'when I should've kept my big beak shut.'

'where me and Marie used to watch TV.

'which they called a "perch".'

'words weren't really that important to Ivy.

"afraid of your silence."

"bearing ripe fruit."

"but I was afraid...

"Flocks are seen feeding in mango trees,

"Food consists of seeds,

"M.A."

"Maybe too beautiful for me, but I will tell her how I feel."

"Misha, I always like you best,

"nuts, bugs.

"that will take us someplace unexpected?

"What are we gonna see along the way?

"What wrong turn are we gonna make...

"Will the weather be for us, or will it be against us?

"Will we get there, or won't we?"

"Will we lose faith?

(Paulie) 'All it took was one word and they shut up.

(Paulie) 'And so began a lifelong trend of speaking,

(Paulie) 'And so I stayed.'

(Paulie) 'And then one day, the cat got her.'

(Paulie) 'Benny had a lot of plans.

(Paulie) 'Benny said money was the most important thing in the world.

(Paulie) 'Benny taught me a lot of things,

(Paulie) 'I found a tree, and I spent the night.

(Paulie) 'I had no idea what it was.'

(Paulie) 'I opened my eyes, and there she was.'

(Paulie) 'I thought flying was scary until I drove with Ivy.

(Paulie) 'Ignacio was all right for a human.

(Paulie) 'Ivy was a great teacher.
