Paulie, el loro bocazas

Compartido contigo

Paulie: There are things in life you put off, because you think you're gonna do them later. But the real thing Ivy taught me is you gotta live like there may not be a later.

Dr. Reingold: Speak. Speak.
Misha: No, please listen, Sir. Maybe if I explain better.
[to Paulie]
Misha: You are lonely I think. I am lonely. In Russia, I was teacher of literature. In America, I'm cleaner of bird crap. I miss words, I miss my language. I just would like someone to talk to.
Paulie: Join the club.
Misha: What?
Paulie: I said join the club.
Misha: So I'm not crazy. You CAN talk.
Paulie: Of course I can talk.
Misha: Then why are you not?
Paulie: Because talking just gets you into a lot of trouble.
Misha: Trouble? Why you say that?

Adult Marie Alweather: You're the song that the tree sings, when the wind blows. / You're a flower... you're a river... you're a rainbow. / I loved you the first time I saw you... / And I always will love you, Marie.

Paulie: Can you tell me where I am?
Ignacio: You can talk.
Paulie: They talk.
Ignacio: [Referring to his supposedly talking parrots] They can't talk. I say taco, they say taco
Parrots: Taco, taco, taco

Ivy: You know what you are Paulie ? You're my seeing-eye parrot.
[dissolve to sunset]
Ivy: You've been a dear friend to me Paulie. We're birds of a feather, you and I. Betwixt and between, that's us. So what do we have tonight? Is it pretty?
Paulie: Oh, very pretty. There's more orange now, and it's getting darker. Just a little gold left.
Ivy: The sun must almost be set. Can you see any stars yet?
Paulie: Not yet.
[cut to ambulance pulling away]
Paulie: And then one day, the cat got her.

Misha: Before I am coming to America, there was a girl. We were student together at university. Sure we talk, about books. We even fight about them. She was very smart. And stubborn. I say book mean one thing. She say, "No, no, Misha. Book mean other thing." One time, she act in play in front of whole school. I was working behind curtain in the dark. I see her on stage. She had flowers in her hair, and-and the light made them all different color. I say to myself, "My God, she's beautiful. Maybe too beautiful for me, but I will tell her how I feel." Afterward, when I am going near to her...
Paulie: She stole your words away.
Misha: Yes. She marry my best friend. He told her how he feel. At wedding, she take me aside and say, "Misha, I always like you best, but I was afraid. Afraid of your silence."
[to Paulie]
Misha: It's important to speak up.

Marie Alweather: Paulie!
Lila Alweather: Marie!
Marie Alweather: Paulie! Fly back to me! Paulie! Paulie, I love you! Fly back to me!

Ivy: Somebody has to teach this beautiful bird some manners. Might as well be me.
Paulie: What's wrong with my manners?

Ivy: We always used to talk about going to The Grand Canyon, but we just never got that far. You know, Earl said that if you stand right at the edge just when the sun comes up, it's like seeing the first sunrise in the whole world.
Paulie: He was kind of poetic, wasn't he ?
Ivy: For an ex-Marine.

[Paulie stops at The Grand Canyon]
Paulie: I found a tree, and I spent the night. 'Cos I wanted to be there in the morning... for the very first sunrise.
[as the sun rises]

[first lines]
[Misha reports for work, it is dark and raining]
Virgil the Janitor: The agency told you you had to pay for your own uniforms, right ?
Misha: Yes, I to buy with money from job.
Virgil the Janitor: No, no, no. You can't start the job without a uniform.
Misha: But how to buy when not been paid ?
Virgil the Janitor: You don't have any money ?
Misha: No. This is why I take job. To make money. This is why I come to America. To be a big shoot.
Virgil the Janitor: Shot. Big shot.
Misha: I try not to live in past, only present tense since I come to America.
Virgil the Janitor: [chuckling] Yeah, but "big shoot" makes no sense.

Dr. Reingold: [to Misha] Now don't you think if we had an animal with that kind of intelligence somebody here would have noticed.

Warren Alweather: I don't think she can tell the difference between fantasy and reality.
Lila Alweather: Come on.
Warren Alweather: You know what she said? Are you ready for this? She said the bird told her the cat started it.
Lila Alweather: She said that to you?
Warren Alweather: Yeah.
Lila Alweather: She's five years old. It's her imaginary friend.
Warren Alweather: I don't know. She doesn't have any other friends. She hasn't made any other attachments. I just... I really think we should consider getting rid of the bird.
