"(WHIMPERS)" "DUG:" "I do not like the Cone of Shame." "MUNTZ:" "Well, most of the collection is housed in the world's top museums," "New York, Munich, London." "Of course, I kept the best for myself." "Did you ever!" "Will you look at that?" "MUNTZ:" "Oh, yes, the Arsinoitherium." "Beast charged while I was brushing my teeth." "Used my shaving kit to bring him down." "Oh, yeah." "Well, surprise me." "Only way to get it out of Ethiopia at the time was to have it declared as dental equipment." "Oh, my gosh!" "The giant Somalian leopard tortoise!" "Oh, you recognize it." "I'm impressed." "That's an interesting story there." "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." "Oh, dear." "Broken translator." "It's that loose wire again." "There you go, big fella." "ALPHA: (IN DEEP VOICE) Thank you, Master." "I liked his other voice." "(LAUGHING)" "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." "(BARKS)" "Oh, Epsilon, you've done it again!" "Yes!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "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." "I'm honored." "And now you've made it." "You're sure we're not a bother?" "I'd hate to impose." "No, no." "It's a pleasure to have guests, a real treat." "DOG 1:" "Treat!" "Where's the treat!" "DOG 2:" "Treat!" "(DOGS CLAMOURING)" "MUNTZ:" "No, no." "Quiet!" "Calm down, calm down." " DOG 3:" "I want a treat!" "I want a treat!" " Hey!" "I shouldn't have used that word." "Having guests is a delight." "More often I get thieves come to steal what's rightfully mine." "No!" "They called me a fraud, those... (EXCLAIMS)" "But once I bring back this creature, my name will be cleared." "Beautiful, isn't it?" "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." "Hey, that looks like Kevin." " Kevin?" " Yeah, that's my new giant bird pet." "I trained it to follow us." "Follow you?" "It's impossible." "How?" " She likes chocolate." " Chocolate?" "Yeah." "I gave her some of my chocolate." "She goes gaga for it." "But it ran off." "It's gone now." "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." "(GASPS)" "Well, it's been a wonderful evening, but we better be going." "Oh, you're not leaving." "We don't want to take advantage of your hospitality." " Come on, Russell." " But we haven't even had dessert yet." "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." "(KEVIN WAILS)" "Kevin?" "(WAILING)" "It's here." "Get them!" "(BARKING)" " Hurry!" " RUSSELL:" "I am hurrying!" "Ahhh!" "They're coming!"

"He's with them." "He helped them escape!" "(EXCLAIMS ANGRILY)" "Wait." "Wait a minute." "Dug." "(RADAR BEEPING)" "(SNIFFING)" "See anything?" "DUG:" "No." "My pack is not following us." "Boy, they are dumb." "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." "(HOUSE CRASHING)" "CARL:" "Careful, Russell." "You okay, Kevin?" "(WHIMPERS)" "You know what, Mr. Fredricksen?" "The wilderness isn't quite what I expected." "CARL:" "Yeah?" "How so?" "It's kind of wild." "I mean, it's not how they made it sound in my book." "(SCOFFS) Get used to that, kid." "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 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." "(CHICKS WAILING IN DISTANCE)" "(WAILING)" "Look!" "There it is!" "Hey, kid." "Hold on, Russell." "Stand still." "(BIRDS WAILING)" "Look at that bird go." "Wait up, you overgrown chicken." "(CARL LAUGHS)" "That's it." "Go, Kevin!" "Go find your babies!" "Run, Kevin!" "Run!" "Oh, no!"

"This is none of my concern." "I didn't ask for any of this!" "DUG:" "Master, it's alright." "I am not your master!" "And if you hadn't have shown up, none of this would've happened!" "Bad dog!" "Bad dog!" "(BREATHING HEAVILY)" "Now, whether you assist me or not," "I am going to Paradise Falls if it kills me." "(HOUSE CREAKING)" "(WATERFALL RUMBLING)" "Here." "I don't want this anymore."
