Red is blue.
  • Red arguing with Granny when the latter's secret extreme sports persona has been revealed and calling her out for not allowing her to do anything other than being her "happy little delivery girl" and delivering her goodies.
    Granny: Honey, don't look at your granny like that.
    Red: I'm sorry! I thought you were "Triple-G!" Or are you the Bandit?
    (Everyone stares in silence)
    Detective Bill Stork: Awkward! (side steps his way out of the room)
    Granny: Don't be ridiculous, Red.
    Red: I'm being ridiculous? You're off living... La Vida Loca, risking your life for some dumb thrills! And I'm supposed to stay home and be your happy little delivery girl?!
    Tommy: I, uh, have a...
    Nicky Flippers: Uh, Coffee break, anyone?
    Chief Ted Grizzly: Uh, yeah. (Everyone starts for the door)
    Detective Bill Stork: Who's got my keys?
    Raccoon Jerry: You think Granny would mind if I went through her garbage?
    Chief Ted Grizzly: Excuse us.
    (Everybody except Red and Granny files out of the room.)
    Granny: I thought you were happy.
    Red: Open your eyes! I've never even been outside of the forest! Don't you think I want more than that?
    Granny: Of course, you do. You're a Puckett.
    Red: (sighs) I don't know what that means anymore.
    (Red takes off her hood, drops it to the floor and walks out of the room. Granny sadly picks it up as she watches her granddaughter leave.)
  • "Red is Blue" by Ben Folds is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a slow motion song in G major overlaying Red's Heroic BSoD moment. You have to listen to it in order to believe it.
  • In the fight scene between Red and Boingo, he makes the last hit and knocks Red down. She was almost about to cry afterwards.
    Boingo: (mockingly) Why don't you go home and cry to your Granny?
    • Red has some good reasons to be upset, besides losing a fight and getting hurt. She has just learned that one of her friends actually is not one of her friends and is in fact trying to destroy the livelihoods of all her neighbors, and before that, she learned that her grandmother has been misleading her, living a life that Red probably would have liked to experience for herself.
  • Two songs are designed in such ways they could become tearjerkers. The first is "Little Boat" by Daniel Rogers, which is the song that plays as Red is riding her bike past a number of shuttered stores, and also plays over her treehouse scene. It is supposed to be a song about reminiscing, which probably makes it appropriate for the scene in question - Red musing about what she is unable to do.
