Steele
Okay. Nikki, Kaltag, Star, get moving. We’re strapping up.
Balto
Hey, now, just a second here, Steele. I was the fastest dog.
Steele
[twitches his eye in anger]
You were the fastest... what? [Balto stares angrily at him] Do you honestly think any musher would ever put you on his team? You’re even more mixed up than I thought!
Jenna
[defending Balto]
Steele! It doesn’t matter who’s on the team! So long as the medicine gets through, stop being such a Gloryhound!
Steele
[semi-apologetically]
You’re... a hundred percent right, Jenna. I wasn’t thinking about those children. The important thing here is to get the medicine through, and that’s just what I’m gonna do. [to Balto] And when I get back, I’m gonna fold you five ways... and leave you for a cat toy!
