Ted Dykstra: Muse

Quotes 

• Eric Gotts : [not really listening to a zoo tour guide]  What was that about not mating?

  Muse : [speaking to Jaye through a bird on a billboard]  Take a picture. It'll last longer.

  Jaye Tyler : I can't.

  Eric Gotts : Huh? Why? What are you afraid of?

  Jaye Tyler : Afraid? I'm not afraid.

  Muse : Take a picture. Take a picture. Take a picture.

  Jaye Tyler : Though maybe you should be.

  Eric Gotts : Why would I be afraid of you?

  Muse : Take a picture. It'll last longer. It'll last longer. Take a picture.

  Jaye Tyler : [reluctantly]  All right, all right. God.

  [going over to a group of tourists, she takes one's camera and randomly snaps the lens] 

  Jaye Tyler : Happy?

  [startled by the camera flash, a macaw attacks her] 

  Jaye Tyler : Whoa! Ow! Get... ow!

• Rufus : Do you know what happens when a fairy's wings lose their dust? The fairy dies, that's what.

  Jaye Tyler : [assuming he's just a random weirdo]  Restrooms are for customers only.

  Rufus : No, I don't have to use the bathroom. Uh, well, I do, actually, but that's not why I'm here. I'm Rufus. Remember? I work at the zoo with Penelope.

  Jaye Tyler : Oh, the bird lady?

  Rufus : The elephant lady now.

  Jaye Tyler : Huh?

  Rufus : Because of you, they've got her mucking out the elephant pen. She's banned from the aviary. They say she can't control the birds.

  Jaye Tyler : I'm sorry.

  Rufus : Oh, she... she was the fairy from, like I was saying, and the birds... well, the birds, they're the dust in her wings.

  Jaye Tyler : Look, zoo guy, sometimes these things happen for a reason. Being moved to the elephant pen could just be the best thing that's ever happened to her.

  Rufus : No, it's not. It's the worst thing. Those birds were her life and she theirs. Without her, they'll... they'll die.

  Jaye Tyler : I'm sure the birds will be fine.

  Rufus : No. No, they won't be. Those birds are endangered, and she was trying to get them to breed. Without her, their love will die.

  Muse : [opening a package, Jaye sees two stuffed animals in the shape of donkeys]  Save the lovebirds.

  Rufus : You have to do something.
