View Quote Forrest Woodbush: That creature protected you. Why?
Arlo: I don't know. I'm going home. Do you know how far Clawtooth Mountain is?
Forrest Woodbush: Good idea. We want him.
Arlo: Why?
Forrest Woodbush: Because it's terrifying out here. He can protect me, like my friends. [describing his pets] This is Fury. He protects me from the creatures that crawl in the night. This is Destructor. She protects me from mosquitoes. This is Dreamcrusher. He protects me from having unrealistic goals. And this is Debbie. [silence; Debbie tweets at Forrest] Yes, we need him. What is his name?
Arlo: A name? I don't know.

View Quote Arlo: I miss my family. [sees Spot staring up at him] Family. [uses sticks as effigies, placing four in the ground] That's me. There's Libby. And Buck. And Momma. [pauses for a moment, then places the last effigy in the ground with the others] And Poppa. [draws a circle around them in the sand] Family.
[Spot approaches, sniffing, studying the group, curious but confused]
Spot: Huh?
Arlo: You don't understand. That's okay.

View Quote Thunderclap: Still I know the way.
Arlo: My name's Arlo.
Thunderclap: [squawks with laughter] I'm sorry, I just used to have a name like that once. But that was before I started following the storm!
Arlo: The storm?
Thunderclap: The storm swept me out. I was afraid for my life. But the storm gave me a relevation, and I wasn't scared anymore!
Arlo: You mean a revelation?
Thunderclap: No, a relevation! Okay? I was at a real low-point, you know? And the storm swept me up to a real high-point! And then left me at a "higher-elevation"!
Arlo: Wow...
Thunderclap: Yeah, wow! That's when the storm gave me my new name, because - what do we say?
Downpour: "The storm provides!"
Thunderclap: The storm provides. You can call me Thunderclap.

View Quote Ramsey: Look like he’s a cutest thing.
Arlo: [as Ramsey fusses Spot] He likes you.
Nash: [laughs] Imagine that, Ramsey. [leaning towards her] Even with your stinky face!
Ramsey: Nash! Boundaries! This is my personal bubble.
Nash: Nah, that ain't your bubble. THIS is your bubble...! [they start wrestling]
Butch: Nash, get outta your sister's bubble.

View Quote Arlo: So, how far did you say that watering hole was?
Butch: I got a job for ya.
Arlo: I'm not really good at jobs...
Butch: I need you to keep on the dodge and sidle up the loblolly past them horn-heads, just hootin' and hollerin' to score off them rustlers. We'll cut dirt and get the bulge on 'em.
Arlo: [confused] What?
Ramsey: He just wants you to get on that rock and scream.
Arlo: Uh, but what's out there?
Butch: They'll come right at ya. You hold your ground. Don't move.
Arlo: "Don't move"? What if they have claws and big teeth?
Butch: Don't overthink it.

View Quote Arlo: Butch, how'd you get your scar?
Butch: I don't know if you're ready for that story.
Arlo: I can take it!
Nash: Oh yeah, you gotta tell him pa!
Ramsey: That's a good one!
Butch: [clears his throat] It was 100 degrees in the shade. I walked for five days with no water... Then I saw it - a pretty pond. I bent down to take a drink, when these crocs launched out of the water! One croc bit me on the face; ain't no way I wasn't its supper! Except for one thing... I wasn't ready for dyin' that day. I bit one croc in half, tail-whipped the other, and the last one... well, [deeper voice] I drowned that croc in my own blood.
Arlo: [amazed] Whoa...!
Ramsey and Nash: DANG!
Nash: [shivering] Ooh, look, look! Gives me the little goosies every time!
Ramsey: I love that story! Show him your souvenir!
[Butch opens his mouth, revealing a crocodile's tooth embedded between his teeth]
Ramsey: Ain't that just too good?!
Nash: Can I touch it this time?
Butch: No.
Arlo: [laughs slightly] You guys would have liked my poppa. He wasn't scared of anything. I'm done being scared. [sighs]
Butch: Who said I'm not scared?
Arlo: But you took on a croc!
Butch: And I was scared doin' it. If you ain't scared of a croc bitin' you on the face, you ain't alive. Listen, kid, you can't get rid of fear. It's like Mother Nature; you can't beat her or outrun her, but you can get through it. You can find out what you're made of.
[Butch's speech hits Arlo, who then sees snowflakes drifting down]
Arlo: The first snow.
Ramsey: It's early this year.
Arlo: And I got to get home to Momma.
Nash: We'll get you to that watering hole.
Butch: A deal's a deal. At first light, we ride.
