JASMINE: Father, I hate being forced into this. If I do marry, I want it to be for love.
SULTAN: Jasmine, it's not only this law. I'm not going to be around forever, and I just want to make sure you're taken care of, provided for.
JASMINE: Try to understand. I've never done a thing on my own. I've never had any real friends. Except you, Rajah. I've never even been outside the palace walls.
DONKEY: Princess? What happened to you? You're, uh, uh, uh, different.
FIONA: I'm ugly, okay?
DONKEY: Well, yeah! Was it something you ate? 'Cause I told Shrek those rats was a bad idea. You are what you eat, I said. Now...
FIONA: No. I... I've been this way as long as I can remember.
DONKEY: What do you mean? Look, I ain't never seen you like this before.
FIONA: It only happens when the sun goes down. "By night one way, by day another. This shall be the norm until you find true love's first kiss, and then take love's true form."
DONKEY: Ah, that's beautiful. I didn't know you wrote poetry.
FIONA: It's a spell. When I was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me. Every night I become this. This horrible, ugly beast! I was placed in a tower to await the day my true love would rescue me. That's why I have to marry Lord Farquaad tomorrow before the sun sets and he sees me like this.
DONKEY: All right, all right. Calm down. Look, it's not that bad. You're not that ugly. Well, I ain't gonnalie. You are ugly. But you only look like this at night. Shrek's ugly 24/7.
WOODY: Hey, get over here and see if you can get this tool box off me! Oh, come on, Buzz! Buzz, I can't do this without you. I need your help!
BUZZ: I can't help. I can't help anyone.
WOODY: Why, sure you can, Buzz. You can get me out of here and then I'll get that rocket off you, and we'll make a break for Andy's house.
BUZZ: Andy's house. Sid's house. What's the difference?
WOODY: Oh, Buzz, you've had a big fall. You must not be thinking clearly.
BUZZ: No, Woody, for the first time I am thinking clearly. You were right all along. I'm not a Space Ranger. I'm just a toy. A stupid little insignificant toy.
WOODY: Whoa, hey, wait a minute. Being a toy is a lot better than being a Space Ranger.
BUZZ: Yeah, right.
WOODY: No, it is! Look, over in that house is a kid who thinks you are the greatest, and it's not because you're a Space Ranger, pal, it's because you're a toy! You are his toy!

PUMBAA: Hey, Timon. It's just a little lion. Look at him.
He's so cute, and all alone! Can we keep him?
TIMON: Pumbaa, are you nuts? We're talking about a lion. Lions eat guys like us.
PUMBAA: But he's so little.
TIMON: He's gonna get bigger.
PUMBAA: Maybe he'll be on our side.
TIMON: U-huh! That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Maybe he'll b-- ... Hey, I got it! What if he's on our side? You know, having a lion around might not be such a bad idea.
PUMBAA: So are we keeping him?
TIMON: Of course. Who's the brains in this outfit?

DONKEY: Shrek? Well, you know what I like about you, Shrek? You got that kind of I-don't-care-what-nobody-thinks-of-me thing. I like that. I respect that, Shrek. You all right. Whoa! Look at that. Who'd want to live in a place like that?
SHREK: That would be my home.
DONKEY: Oh! And it is lovely! Just beautiful. You know you are quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder. I guess you don't entertain much, do you?
SHREK: I like my privacy.
DONKEY: You know, I do too. That's another thing we have in common. Like I hate it when you got somebody in your face. You've trying to give them a hint, and they won't leave. There's that awkward silence.
WOODY: Buzz! You're alive! This is great! Oh, I'm saved! I'm saved! Andy will find you here, he'll take us back to the room, and then you can tell everyone that this was all just a big mistake, huh? Right, buddy?
BUZZ: I just want you to know that even though you tried to terminate me, revenge is not an idea we promote on my planet.
WOODY: Oh, oh, that's good!
BUZZ: But we're not on my planet, are we?
WOODY: No.

HAMM: What's going on down there? Is Mom losing her marbles?
WOODY: Well, obviously she wanted to have the party before the move. I'm not worried. You shouldn't be worried.
MR. POTATO HEAD: Of course Woody ain't worried! He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarten!
SLINKY: Hey, hey, come on, Potato Head! If Woody says it's all right, then, well, darn it, it's good enough for me. Woody has never steered us wrong before.
WOODY: Come on, guys! Every Christmas and birthday we go through this.
REX: But what if Andy gets another dinosaur? A mean one? I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection.
WOODY: Hey, listen, no one's getting replaced. This is Andy we're talking about. It doesn't matter how much we're played with. What matters is that we're here for Andy when he needs us. That's what we're made for, right?

Brazil - the country of soccer, samba, Carnival, and ... what?
What do people think of when they hear the word "Brazil"? Of course, they know about the 2014 World Cup™, and the 2016 Olympic Games® in Rio de Janeiro. So, for many people, Brazil is the place for soccer and sport. Many other people only think of the Amazon Rainforest1 and Amazon River when they think about this South American country. However, Brazil is much more interesting than this. It is a country that is changing: it is a country with a future. Its economy2 is growing. It has modern industries3 , and natural resources4 like water and oil5 . Tourism is important in every region6 . There are very big cities, like São Paulo, and historic ones, like Recife and Salvador. The country has exciting artists and a rich tradition of music: different styles in different regions, but always Brazilian! To visit all of Brazil would be very difficult. It is a very big country- over 8.5 million square kilometers. It is so big that many Brazilians do not know all of the different parts of their own7 country. Brazil is a country that everyone can learn something new about.

Grimms' Fairy Tales
The Emperor's New Clothes: The Beginning
by Hans Christian Andersen
Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in dress. He did not trouble himself in the least about his soldiers; nor did he care to go either to the theatre or the chase, except for the opportunities then afforded him for displaying his new clothes. He had a different suit for each hour of the day; and as of any other king or emperor, one is accustomed to say, "he is sitting in council," it was always said of him, "The Emperor is sitting in his wardrobe."
Time passed merrily in the large town which was his capital; strangers arrived every day at the court. One day, two rogues, calling themselves weavers, made their appearance. They gave out that they knew how to weave stuffs of the most beautiful colors and elaborate patterns, the clothes manufactured from which should have the wonderful property of remaining invisible to everyone who was unfit for the office he held, or who was extraordinarily simple in character.
"These must, indeed, be splendid clothes!" thought the Emperor. "Had I such a suit, I might at once find out what men in my realms are unfit for their office, and also be able to distinguish the wise from the foolish! This stuff must be woven for me immediately." And he caused large sums of money to be given to both the weavers in order that they might begin their work directly.
So the two pretended weavers set up two looms, and affected to work very busily, though in reality they did nothing at all. They asked for the most delicate silk and the purest gold thread; put both into their own knapsacks; and then continued their pretended work at the empty looms until late at night.
