Almond
So, the dog thinks this is all real?
California
Oh, yeah, you’re new. Guy, never leaves the set. It’s unbelievable. Whenever I get the chance, this is the perfect way to unwind.
California
[Calfornia hops onto the bumper of the trailer, then climbs onto its roof; Almond does the same]
I like to start with an evil laugh. [he laughs]
Bolt [gets up and looks up at the cats]
Hello, hairballs.
California
You may have won today, Bolt, but in the end, we will get your little Penny.
Bolt Not likely, cat, for you've chosen to follow the path of evil. Ultimately I'll destroy you, along with your fiendish puppet-master!
Almond
[in awe]
Wow!
California
I know, right? Okay, watch this. [in a louder evil voice] She’s a goner, dog. The green-eyed man has a plan, and soon, he will execute it!
Almond
[laughs]
Yeah, and then, he will execute... her! [chuckles]
California
[turns to Almond]
Nice.
Bolt I would super-bark you both back into the hole you crawled out of, but I need you alive, because I’ve got a little message for you to take back to your green-eyed man. You tell him his old friend Bolt said that—
California
Is it long?
Bolt [bewildered]
I-Is what long?
California
The message? Is it-is it long message? Because I have a horrible memory.
Bolt Yeah, I'll make it brief, alright? You tell him I said I'm gonna—
California
You know what? Why don’t we do this; [to Almond] You remember the first half of the message, and then I'll remember the second, and then we can pass it on to the green-eyed man together.
Bolt Oh, I don’t care how the message is translated, alright?! Just do it, okay?! You tell the green-eyed man that I will not sleep, I will not rest, until my Penny is safe from his evil clutches. You tell the green-eyed man that—-
California
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Way too many words. I was like "What?" and then I was like "Huh?" and then, uh, I got a little bored. Something about clutches? Anyway, I'll do my best. Ciao! [jumps off the trailer]
Almond
By the way, huge fan, love it, love you, gotta go. Thank you.
After California and Almond complete their lines of dialogue and go their kitty Boxes:
California
{Sneers) DOGS...!
Bolt in his trailer before going to sleep:
Bolt {Sneers)" CATS...!
Yeah, I'm really scared now.
Bolt [Bolt pops up and pins Mittens to a trash can.]
You should be!
Bolt Where is she?!
Uh... who?
Bolt You know why I'm here. [Mittens screams again] Where is she?!
Okay, okay. Look, buddy, I don't know what you're getting at, but--
Vinnie
[The pigeons start laughing]
Come on, Mittens. Just tell the guy where she is. Tell the dog, make him happy.
Bobby
Yeah, yeah, c'mon, Mittens, tell 'em!
[laughs]
Joey, Vinnie, Bobby, my boys. Would you tell the crazy canine that he's got the wrong cat?
Vinnie
[they look at each other]
You got her, pal!
Joey
That's her.
Vinnie
She's the one!
Joey
That is definitely the right cat.
Bolt Looks like we're gonna do this the hard way.
[Cut to Bolt holding Mittens off a highway overpass by the scruff of her neck.]
WHOA! HEY, YOU'RE CRAZY, MAN!
Vinnie
Hey, Joey. Do we go to far in this?
Joey
You kidding? This is the best day of my life.
Bolt You work for the men in black, who work for the man with the green eye. They've taken Penny. Where is she?!
I don't know what you're talking about!
Bolt This is becoming tiresome, cat! In fact, I feel a yawn coming on!
Okay! Okay! Okay! Okay, I'll talk! I'll talk! I know where Penny is. Yeah! They have her! Yes! The men in black and the guy, the guy with the blue eyes!
Bolt Blue eyes?
Um... Oh. Green! Yes, green! The one green eye!
Bolt You just can't stop lying, can you, cat? It's in the genes. This is gross.
[sighs]
I know. It's disgusting. I disgust myself. [notices Bolt's collar that contains the words "Hollywood" and his address] "Hollywood". But if you put me down, I'll show you where she is. [chuckles]
Bolt Hmm.
Bolt Hmm... padlock. [stares intensely at padlock]
[trying to get away]
Listen, Cujo, I got some pretty wicked claws under these mitts, do not, I beg of you, do not make me bring out these bad boys! It gets ugly! [Bolt continues to stare at padlock] What are you doing? [tries to get in front of him]
Bolt Stay back! If I stare at the lock really hard, it'll burst into flames and melt.
Now I'm concerned on a number of levels.
Bolt Styrofoam! [opens the truck door] Tuck and roll!
Tuck and what?!
Bolt [Bolt and Mittens jump out a speeding U-haul truck.]
Ow! What? What is this red liquid coming from my paw?
It's called blood, hero.
Bolt Do I need it?
Yes, so if you want to keep it inside your body where it belongs, you should stop jumping off trucks doing 80 ON THE INTERSTATE!!
Bolt Yeah, well usually I'm a tad more industructable. Must've been... [sees the Styrofoam and gasps] Styrofoam! That stuff, it weakens me!
Bolt What are you doing? Put that down!
That's it. I've had it with you. Untie me, pooch, or I'm gonna... I'm gonna... I'm gonna seriously wound you! I'm gonna seriously wound you with this Styrofoam!
Bolt Are you mad? You don't know the power of Styrofoam!
Oh, you bet I'm mad, baby! And I'm about to unleash it! The power of the Styrofoam!
Bolt Whoa! Alright, cat! Okay! You win! I'll untie you. [pause] That's a weird place to put a piano. [Mittens looks over her shoulder] Hye-yah! [karate chops the Styrofoam out of Mittens' paw and lands on top of her] Are we going to have any more problems, cat?
No, no. No more problems. I'll take you to Penny.
Bolt [starts sniffing]
Ah! What is that? [referring to his growling stomach]
What?
Bolt That! Okay, you have two seconds to tell me what you've implanted in me, cat! Poison? A parasite? Poison? Wait, I said that already. See, I'm all discombobluated! I can't think straight!
I don't believe this. You're hungry.
Bolt [steps on the leash which pulls Mittens closer]
Where is the antidote?!
Okay, okay! Alright!
There's your antidote. Food. Go on. Use the dog face. This is gonna be beautiful... You know, beg... Do the dog face!
Bolt What? The dog face? What is that mean?
Figures I'm tied to the one dog on Earth that doesn't know how to beg. Huh. Okay, if you want the f... eh... the antidote, you're gonna have to do exactly what I say.
Bolt [exhales]
Uhm, not likely. You're a degenerate creature of darkness.
Yeah, yeah, granted, with that said, all I'm asking you to do is just tilt your head a little low, you can do that, can't you. Come on! [he does] More. More.
Bolt This is stupid!
No, no, no, no! Come on, work with me on this, please. We're almost there.
Bolt Oh, boy!
Okay, try it the other way. There you go. Tilt up. Um, down. Now a little smile. Uh, lose the smile. Drop your left ear. Your other left. Okay, the other way was better. Now, drop them both. Hold it right there. And ever so slightly look up. Soup is on, baby!
Bolt! I can be a valuable addition to your team!
Bolt I'm listening...
I'm lightning quick. I have razor-sharp reflexes. And I'm a master of stealth. [whispers] Plus, I'll keep the cat in check.
Bolt [Mittens rolls her eyes] [leans in close to Rhino's ball]
The road'll be rough.
I have a ball.
Bolt There's no turning back.
Guess I'll have to roll with the punches! [rolls ball]
Bolt Easy won't be part of the equation.
Promise?
Bolt I gotta warn ya, going into the belly of the beast - danger at every turn.
I eat danger for breakfast!
Bolt You hungry?!
Bolt Welcome aboard!
[Rhino laughs wildly]
Hey, can we talk for a second? I don't know what's going on here, but I'm just a little bit concerned about the number of lunatics on this trip. My limit is one.
Bolt He's coming with us.
But I... Huh? Hey! [gets hit by Rhino with his ball]
Move it, prisoner. We're losing daylight!
Bolt I agree. Now we need to find a fast set of wheels.
[After jumping off the train, Mittens ends up on the tree, Bolt and Rhino are on the ground]
The real world hurts, doesn't it?! But you wouldn't know about that, would you?!
Bolt Get down here, cat, we don't have time for this!
I'll get a ladder. [walks away]
Look, genius, you're part of a TV show. You know what that is - television? It's entertainment for people. IT'S FAKE! Nothing you think is real is real!
Bolt That's preposterous!
Think about it, Bolt. Since you got lost, none of your powers are working, aren't they? For the first time, you're hungry, you're bleeding. I mean, do you really think that you were born with a birthmark in the EXACT shape of a lighting bolt?!
Bolt It's my mark of power, cat.
It's the mark of a make-up artist, dog!
Bolt You're ridiculous. Now get down here!
Bolt Mittens, so help me, I will super-bark you out of that tree!
Yeah, go nuts. Let's see how that works out for ya.
Bolt You leave me no choice! [does "super-bark". Nothing happens]
Bolt [frustrated]
It's not true. This is not true! [tries the super-bark again]
[dryly again]
Wow. That felt really super. Wait. No, it didn't. [Bolt starts barking again] Okay, Okay. Mmm-hmm, I get the idea, you can stop now. [Bolt keeps barking] That's enough! Seriously, dog, stop! I'm not kidding! Would you stop? It's... [an Animal Control truck stops to check the situation] Okay, fine! You're a super dog. Uh, Bolt, be quiet, please! [Bolt is still barking] Bolt, we gotta run! Bolt!
Animal Control Officer
Come here!
[The Animal Control Officer puts Bolt and Mittens into the truck]
Bolt [Bolt and Rhino have gone searching for Mittens in an Animal Shelter. Bolt locates her in a cage in the back]
Mittens?
Bolt? Wh... Wha... What are you doing here?
Bolt I’m busting you out.
You... You came all the way back here... For me?
Bolt Yeah.
But how’d you...? I mean... You don’t have any superpowers!
Bolt I know.
Really?
Bolt Yeah.
Wow. Crazy day for ya, huh?
Bolt It’s been a lot, yes, it has. [pauses, looks up] Are you ready for this?
No.
Bolt Me neither. [opens her cage]
Bolt [As Bolt and Rhino sneaks into the Animal Shelter, they see the guard at the desk]
There's a guard.
Bolt [stops him]
We need to get him away from that door.
Oh.
Dogs
[The see the dog room, Bolt rolls Rhino in there to distract him. The dogs appear.]
Ball? Ball? Ball? Ball? Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!
Guard
[cut to guard at the desk]
I'm just... I'm reading. I'm just... [gets up and leaves] Oh, just pipe down!
Look at me, Bolt. I'm real. [shows him the Bolt billboard] Now, how about this? Is that real? Does this look real to you? Or that? Is that real? Or that? How about that, Bolt? She's an actress. She's just pretending.
Bolt Not Penny No Penny.
Bolt [sternly]
No, you're wrong. She loves me.
No. No, Bolt. That's what they do, OK? They act like they love you. They act like they'll be there forever. And then one day, they pack up all their stuff, move away, take their love with them AND LEAVE THEIR DECLAWED CAT BEHIND TO FEND FOR HERSELF! [sighs and looks down; Bolt's feelings start to hurt] They leave her... wondering... what she did wrong.
Bolt I... I'm sorry, Mittens, but Penny is different.
Bolt Mittens, I...
[turns her back on Bolt]
Get out of here, Bolt. [to herself] I never should've taken pity on you. [Bolt mutters] JUST GET OUT OF HERE, BOLT!
Bolt [brokenhearted]
You take care, Mittens. [sadly leaves]
