Muntz Displays His Unique Museum Collection
Charles F. Muntz
Most of the collection is housed in the world's top museums: New York, Munich, London... Of course, I kept the best for myself.
Carl Fredricksen
Did you ever! Will you look at that?
Charles F. Muntz
Oh, yes, the Arsinoitherium. Beast charged while I was brushing my teeth. Used my shaving kit to bring him down. Oh, surprise me. The only way to get it out of Ethiopia at the time was to have it declared as "dental equipment"!
Carl Fredricksen
Oh my gosh, the Giant Somalian Leopard Tortoise!
Charles F. Muntz
Oh, you recognize it? I'm impressed! That's an interesting story there... Hm, excellent choice. I found it on safari with Roosevelt. He and I fell into a habit of playing gin rummy in the evenings, and did he cheat? Oh, he was horrible!
Alpha
Master, dinner is ready.
[high-pitched voice]
Charles F. Muntz
Oh, dear, broken translator again. It's that loose wire again. There you go, big fella.
Alpha
Thank you, Master.
[deep scary voice]
Russell
I liked his other voice.
Charles F. Muntz
Well, dinner is served! Right this way. So, how are things stateside, huh? Almost tempted to go back a few times, but I have unfinished work here. Please, I hope you're hungry, because Epsilon is the finest chef I've ever had. Oh, Epsilon, you've done it again!
Russell
Yes!! Hey! Hey!
Carl Fredricksen
Oh, my Ellie would've loved all this. You know, it's because of you she had this dream to come down here and live by Paradise Falls.
Charles F. Muntz
I'm honored. And now you've made it.
Carl Fredricksen
You sure we're not a bother? I'd hate to impose.
Charles F. Muntz
No, no! It's a pleasure to have guests- a real treat.
Dog Walla
Treat?! Treat! I want a treat!
Charles F. Muntz
No, no, quiet! Calm down. Calm down...
Russell
Hey!
Charles F. Muntz
I shouldn't have used that word... Having guests is a delight. More often I get thieves, come to steal what's rightfully mine.
Carl Fredricksen
No!
Charles F. Muntz
They called me a fraud, those... But once I bring back this creature, my name will be cleared! Beautiful, isn't it? Oh, I've spent a lifetime tracking it. Sometimes, years go by between sightings. I've tried to smoke it out of that deathly labyrinth where it lives. You can't go in after it. Once in, there's no way out. I've lost so many dogs. And here they come, these bandits, and think the bird is theirs to take! But they soon find that this mountain...is a very dangerous place.
[picks up the lantern; illuminates the room, revealing a skeleton of Kevin's species, festooned with maps of the area]
Russell
Hey, that looks like Kevin!
[notices the skeleton]
Charles F. Muntz
Kevin"?
Russell
Yeah, that's my new giant bird pet. I trained it to follow us.
Charles F. Muntz
Follow you? That's impossible! How?
Russell
She likes chocolate!
[pulls out a chocolate bar]
Charles F. Muntz
Chocolate?
Russell
Yeah, I gave her some of my chocolate. She goes ga-ga for it.
Carl Fredricksen
But it ran off! It's gone, now.
[takes Russell's chocolate bar]
Charles F. Muntz
You know, Carl... These people who pass through here, they all tell pretty good stories. A surveyor, making a map. A botanist, cataloguing plants. An old man, taking his house to Paradise Falls. I mean, that's the best one yet. I can't wait to hear how it ends.
[glaring; illuminates a shelf of flight caps; knocks one flight cap over; knocks another cap over, then picks up a third; drops the cap, glaring at Carl; grins sinisterly]
Carl Fredricksen
Well, it's been a wonderful evening, but we'd better be going.
Charles F. Muntz
Oh, you're not leaving.
Carl Fredricksen
We don't want to take advantage of your hospitality. Come on, Russell.
Russell
But we haven't even had dessert yet!
Charles F. Muntz
No, the boy's right! You haven't had dessert! Epsilon here makes a delicious cherries jubilee! Oh, you really must stay! I insist! We have so much more to talk about!

Tracking a Scent and a Missing Bird
Gamma
Hang on, I picked up the bird's scent!
Beta
Wait a minute, what's this? Chocolate, I smell chocolate!
[sniffs the ground]
Gamma
I'm getting prunes and denture cream! Who are they?
Beta
Oh, man, Master will not be pleased. We better tell him someone took the bird. Right, Alpha?
Alpha
No. Soon enough the bird will be ours yet again. Find the scent, my compadres, and you too shall have much rewarding from Master for the toil factor you wage.
[in a squeaky voice]
Beta
Hey, Alpha, I think there's something wrong with your collar. You must've bumped it.
[trying his best not to laugh]
Gamma
Yeah! Your voice sounds funny!
[not trying to hide his laughter at all]
Alpha
Beta! Gamma! Mayhaps you desire - SQUIRREL! Mayhaps you desire to challenge the ranking that I have been assigned by my strength and cunning.
[they both stop laughing; all of them turn their attention to a nearby tree; slight pauses out, Gamma whimpers]
Beta
No, no, no...but maybe Dug would. You might wanna ask him.
Gamma
Yeah. I wonder if he's found the bird on his very special mission'.
Alpha
Do not mention Dug to me at this time. His fool's errand will keep him most occupied. Most occupied, indeed. Do you not agree with that which I am saying to you now?
[laughs evilly]
Beta
Sure, but the second Master finds out that you sent Dug out by himself, none of us will get a treat.
[he and Gamma whine]
Alpha
You are wise, my trusted lieutenant. This is Alpha calling Dug. Come in, Dug.
[growls at them; presses a button on Beta's collar with his nose and barks]
Dug
Hi, Alpha. Hey, your voice sounds funny.
[whispering]
Alpha
I know, I know! Have you seen the bird?
[growls]
Dug
Why yes. The bird is my prisoner, now.
Gamma
Yeah, right!
Alpha
Impossible! Where are you?
Dug
I am here with the bird, and I will bring it back, and then you will like me. Oh, gotta go!
Russell
Hey, Dug. Who are you talking to?
Alpha
No, wait! Wait!
Beta
What's Dug doing out there?
Gamma
Why is he with that small mailman?
Beta
Where are they?!
Alpha
There he is. Come on!
[pushes a button that shows where Dug is on the map]

Dug's Loyalty and Misunderstandings
Dug
Oh please, oh please, oh please, be my prisoner!
Russell
Dug, stop bothering Kevin!
Dug
That man there says why i could take the bird, and i love that man there like he is my master.
Carl Fredricksen
I am not your master!
Dug
I am warning you once again, bird!
Russell
Hey, quit it!
Dug
I am jumping on you now, bird!
Carl Fredricksen
Russell, at this rate, we'll never get to the falls.
Dug
Here, bird!
Carl Fredricksen
I'm nobody's master, got it?! I don't want you here, and I don't want you here! I'm stuck with you. And if you two don't clear out of here by the time I count to three...
[pulls Russell off, but his house bumps into the cavern, causing the window to shatter; then glares at Russell, Kevin and Dug as they all stand at attention; to Dug; then to Kevin; Kevin screeches at him; to Russell; to both Dug and Kevin]
Dug
A ball! Oh, boy, oh, boy! A ball!!
[notices a tennis ball on Carl's cane; whimpers]
Carl
A ball? Here, here. You want it, boy? Huh, huh? Yeah, yeah? Huh?
[plucks one tennis ball out of his cane]
Dug
Yes I do! I do ever so want the ball!
Carl
Go get it!
[throws it]
Dug
Oh, boy! Oh, boy! I will get it, and then bring it back!
[runs off to get the tennis ball]
Carl
Quick, Russell, give me some chocolate.
Russell
Why?
Carl
Just give it to me! Bird. Bird. Come on, Russell.
[snatches a piece of chocolate; Kevin squawks, he throws it to let Kevin fetch it and pulls Russell along.]

Muntz Confronts Dug's Allegiance to Carl
Charles F. Muntz
You lost them?
[groans]
Beta
No, it was Dug.
Gamma
He's with them, he helps them escape.
Charles F. Muntz
Wait. Wait a minute. Dug.
[grunting angrily]
Carl Fredricksen
See anything?
Dug
No, my pack is not following us. Boy, they are dumb.
Carl Fredricksen
This is crazy. I finally meet my childhood hero, and he's trying to kill us. What a joke!
Dug
Hey, I know a joke. A squirrel walks up to a tree and says I forgot to store acorns for winter and now I am dead. Ha! It is funny because the squirrel gets dead.
Carl Fredricksen
Careful, Russell.
Russell
You okay, Kevin? You know what, Mr. Fredricksen? The wilderness isn't quite what I expected.
Carl Fredricksen
Yeah? How so?
Russell
It's kind of... wild. I mean, it's not how they made it sound in my book.
Carl Fredricksen
Hmm, get used to that, kid.
Russell
My dad made it sound so easy. He's really good at camping, and how to make fire from rocks and stuff. He used to come to all my Sweat Lodge meetings. And afterwards we'd go get ice cream at Fentons. I always get chocolate and he gets butter-brickle. Then we'd sit on this one curb, right outside, and I'll count all the blue cars, and he counts all the red ones, and whoever gets the most wins. I like that curb. That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.

A Frustrated Adventure with Unexpected Challenges
Carl Fredricksen
Darn thing! Come on, Russell, would you hurry up?
Russell
I'm tired and my knee hurts.
Carl Fredricksen
Which knee?
Russell
My elbow hurts, and I have to go to the bathroom.
Carl Fredricksen
I asked you about that five minutes ago!
Russell
I didn't need to goooo theeeeennn! I don't want to walk anymore. Can we stop?
[falls to the ground; the house drags him]
Carl Fredricksen
Russell, if you don't hurry up, the tigers will eat you.
Russell
There are no tigers in South America. Zoology.
Carl Fredricksen
Oh, for the love of Pete. Go on into the bushes and do your business.
Russell
Okay, here. Hold my stuff. I always wanted to try this. Mr. Fredricksen, am I supposed to dig the hole before or after?
Carl Fredricksen
None of my concern!
[grunts]
Russell
Oh, it's before!
Carl Fredricksen
La la la la la!
[grunts again]

Charles Muntz Unveils Adventure at Paradise Falls
Newsreel Announcer
Movietown News presents, "Spotlight on Adventure"! What you are now witnessing is footage never before seen by civilized humanity, a lost world in South America. Lurking in the shadow of majestic Paradise Falls, it sports plants and animals undiscovered by science. Who would dare set foot on this inhospitable summit? Why, our subject today, Charles Muntz! The beloved explorer lands his dirigible, the Spirit of Adventure, in New Hampshire this week, completing a yearlong expedition to the lost world. This lighter-than-air craft was designed by Muntz himself and is longer than 22 prohibition paddy wagons placed end-to-end. And here comes the adventurer now! Never apart from his faithful dogs, Muntz conceived the craft for canine comfort. It's a veritable floating palace in the sky, complete with doggy bath and mechanical canine walker. And, Jiminy Cricket do the locals consider Muntz the bee's knees. And how!
Charles Muntz
Adventure is out there!
[puts on his helmet goggles; gives a thumbs-up]
Newsreel Announcer
But what has Muntz brought back this time?
Charles Muntz
Gentlemen, I give you the monster of Paradise Falls!
Newsreel Announcer
And golly! What a swell monster this is! But what's this? Scientists cry foul! The national explorer society accuses Muntz of fabricating the skeleton.
Young Carl
No!
Newsreel Announcer
The organization strips Muntz of his membership. Humiliated, Muntz vows to return to Paradise Falls and promises to capture the beast alive!
Charles Muntz
I promise to capture the beast alive, and I will not come back until I do!
Newsreel Announcer
And so, the explorer's off to clear his name. Bon Voyage, Charles Muntz, and good luck capturing the monster of Paradise Falls!

Hi, there!

[spooked]
Dug
Oh, yes! My name is Dug. I have just met you and I love you!
[Carl screams; jumps up on Carl]
Carl Fredricksen
Wha...
Dug
My master made me this collar. He is a good and smart master and he made me this collar so that I may talk. SQUIRREL! My master is good and smart.
[turns his attention to a rock; slight pauses out]
Carl Fredricksen
It's not possible.
Dug
Oh it is, because my master is smart.
Russell
Cool! What do these do, boy?
[inspects the collar and twists a dial]
Dug
Hey would you- -cuerdo con tigo- I use that collar- -watashi wa hanashi ma- -to talk with, I would be happy if you stopped.
[click; click; click; click]
Carl Fredricksen
Russell, don't touch that. It could be radioactive or something.
Dug
I am a great tracker. My pack sent me on a special mission all by myself. Have you seen a bird? I want to find one and I have been on the scent. I am a great tracker, did I mention that? Hey, that is the bird! I have never seen one up close but this is the bird. May I take your bird back to camp as my prisoner?

Wait, aren't you super wilderness guy...with the GPMs and the badges?

Yeah, but...Can I tell you a secret?

Alright. Here goes. I've never actually built a tent before. There, I said it!
[quickly]
Carl Fredricksen
You've been camping before, haven't you?
Russell
Well...never outside.
Carl Fredricksen
Well, why didn't you ask your dad to help build you a tent?
Russell
Ah, I don't think he wants to talk about this stuff.
Carl Fredricksen
Why don't you try him sometime? Maybe he'll surprise ya.
Russell
Well, he's away a lot. I don't see him much.
Carl Fredricksen
He's gotta be home sometime.
Russell
Well, I call often… but...Phyllis told me I bug him too much.

Phyllis? You call your own mother by her first name?
Russell
Phyllis isn't my mom.
Carl Fredricksen
Oh...
Russell
But, he promised me he would come to the Wilderness Explorer Ceremony and pin on my Assisting the Elderly badge. So, he can show me about tents then, right?
Carl Fredricksen
Hey, why don't you get some sleep? Don't want to wake up the traveling flea circus.
Russell
Mr. Fredricksen, Dug says he wants to take Kevin prisoner. We have to protect him. Can Kevin go with us?

Negotiations Over a Retirement Home

Hey Morning, Mr. Fredricksen. Need any help, there?

You poured prune juice in his gas tank.

Yeah, that was good. Here, let me talk to him. You in the suit! Yes, you! TAKE A BATH HIPPIE!!

Tom
I am not with him! This is serious! He's out to get your house!
