Dora Turning Red/Transcript

GIRL: The number one rule in my family?

Honor your parents.

They’re the supreme beings who gave you life who sweated and sacrificed so much to put a roof over your head, food on your plate, an epic amount of food.

The least you can do in return is every single thing they ask.

‘Course some people are like, “Be careful.

“Honoring your parents sounds great, but if you take it too far, well, you might forget to honor yourself.”

Luckily, I don’t have that problem.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi, I’m Dora.

I’m Meilin Lee.

and I’m Boots!

And ever since I turned 13, I’ve been doing my own thing.

Making my own moves, 24/7, 365.

I wear what I want, say what I want and I will not hesitate to do a spontaneous cartwheel if I feel so moved. (GRUNTS)

(MAN GASPS)

Oh, crap!

Not to brag,

but being 13 means I’m officially a grown-up.

At least according to the Toronto Transit Commission.

Good for you.

MEILIN: Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.

All about that hustle, am I right?

(UPBEAT MUSIC CONTINUES)

(YELPS)

Besties, assemble!

Miriam!

Hmm?

Hey!

(BOTH LAUGHING, WHOOPING)

Priya!

(IN DEEP VOICE) Yo.

Abby!

(SPEAKING KOREAN)

(ALL GASP)

(IN ENGLISH) Yeah. What’s up, Mei?

We’re in Toronto with Mei, are you excited?

That's Great!
