[stalks away]

Valiente: Later, meat.

Ferdinand's Father: Look, Ferd. You're still a kid. When you grow up, your dreams are gonna change. Everything's gonna change. I tell ya one thing that's gonna change, you're gonna be bigger and tougher than your old man, that's for sure.

Young Ferdinand: No way.

Ferdinand's Father: Yes way! Yeah! And then you'll see. You're gonna get in that ring and You're gonna be the champ!

Young Ferdinand: Can I be a champ without fighting, maybe?

Ferdinand: And so because of that, he deserves to go there?

Young Ferdinand: Dad!

[Ferdinand gallops over to the returning trailer, only to discover his father did not survive the bullfight, and starts to cry]

Young Ferdinand: Dad...

Valiente's Father: I called it. That bull was soft. The soft ones always go down.

[sees his own son is staring in horror and scoffs at him]

Valiente's Father: You'd better bull up!

Ferdinand: [Hears Bones crying] Bones?

Bones: [startled] Ferdinand! Oh, I'm not...

Ferdinand: Are you okay?

Bones: Why wouldn't I be okay? I just have... uh... allergies.

Ferdinand: Oh. Oh, yeah. Sure... um. You know, There's a lot of pollen in the air, this time of year.

Bones: That's right. A lot of pollen. Makes my eyes water.

Ferdinand: Hey, I'm really sorry about Guapo. I know you guys were friends.

Bones: Bulls don't HAVE friends, Ferd. Guapo was my competition. Okay? I'm fine.

Ferdinand: Oh. Okay.

Bones: [Can't keep it together] I mean, how many times did I tell him? You gotta get outta your head, man. You gotta control your fears, you know? But he wouldn't listen.

[Sniffles]

Bones: Sorry.

Ferdinand: It's okay to feel bad, Bones.

Bones: You won't tell anyone about this, will you?

Ferdinand: I won't say a word. But if you ever wanna talk about... oh, I don't know... allergies, I'm around.

Ferdinand: Thanks Ferdinand. You're okay.

Angus: [blindly stumbling about the yard, trying to blow his hair out his eyes] Ooh! Who did that! Oh, who pushed me? Who? Who... .

Angus: It was YOU, wasn't it?

Ferdinand: Actually Angus, it was me.

Angus: Aw, I'm doomed. I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I'm doomed! Primero picks a bull tomorrow, and I'm talkin' to a bloomin' tractor!

Angus: [Ferdinand figured how to get his hair out of his eyes for the first time in his life] I can see! Look, a rock! And another rock!

[sees Lupe]

Angus: And the world's most ugliest dog! And there it is, my nemesis! I'm comin' for YOU, ye wee wooden devil!

[charges the barrel and destroys it]

Angus: I did it! I finally beat you!

[Jumps up and down on it]

Angus: Beat you! Beat you! Beat you! Beat you! Beat you! Oh, look at that, that's spectacular!

[he goes to admire the view across the countryside]

Angus: You've given me a fighting chance, Ferdinand. Why would you do such a thing?

Angus: If we don't look out for each other, who will? Besides, it wasn't that big of a deal.

Angus: It was for me.

Moreno: I'm sorry, I meant no disrespect.

El Primero: And yet, I feel disrespected!

Guapo: [Val and Ferdinand are bumbling through the chop house to save Guapo] Watch out! What are you guys doing?

Ferdinand: We're trying to help you!

Guapo: Well, you're doing a terrible job!

[they go through the blast chiller]

Guapo: Anybody g-g-g-got an ice p-p-p-pick?

Bones: [they're trying to give a bunny CPR] Come on, Angus, you can do it!

Angus: I'm a bull, not a doctor!

Paco: [Ferdinand comes home, bringing the other bulls with him] Holy Moly, you multiplied!

Ferdinand: Hey, Pac-man! I missed you, dawg.

Paco: Well, I didn't miss you! Not even a little bit.

Ferdinand: The tail don't lie, brother!

Paco: [sees his wagging tail has betrayed him] I have GOT to get that fixed.

Lupe: Don't just think of it as a fight. Think of it as a dance!

Hans: A bull, dancing? Is this some kind of hilarious joke designed to make me laugh?

Greta: You see, horses, we have the beautifulest legs for the dancing.

Klaus: But bulls have short stubby legs.

Hans: Ja, look at me.

[waddles around on his knees and haunches]

Hans: Moo, moo, moo!

[the lipizzaner horses all laugh]

Lupe: Go eat a schnitzel, you pasty-faced glue stick!

Ferdinand: It's okay, Lupe. THey're right. I mean, how could a big clumsy bull ever do something like this!

[does the flamenco dance Nina taught him]

Lupe: Whoo! Check out my boy cutting a rug!

Dos: That was good!

Greta: You call that dancing? Nein! THIS is dancing!

[They perform a polka]

Angus: Three against one is hardly fair. Lupe, get my pipes!

[Lupe plays various kazoos like bagpipes and he does a scottish reel]

Angus: Well, put that in your kilts and smoke it!

Greta: Don't celebrate yet, you rump roast! Try THIS!

[the horses do a mix of ballet and gymnastics, ending by forming a heart with their heads and rumps]

Bones: Oooh, I HATE those horses!

Una: [Seeing where this is going, plugs in a boombox and puts on some hip-hop] It's showtime.

Bones: I'm goin' in!

[He joins in with a breakdance, and the three horses and three cows start an epic dance battle, which the horses are winning, until...]

Maquina: Argh!

[Joins in on the cow's side with robotic dance moves and the four do a grand synchronized finale, which the horses try to top but collide]

Hans: Watch where you're stepping, dummkopf!

Greta: Who are you calling dummkopf!

Klaus: You have four left hooves!

[repeated line]

Dos: We're not

[insert animal]

Dos: we're hedgehogs!
