But what's this? Scientists cry foul! The national explorer society accuses Muntz of fabricating the skeleton.
Young Carl
No!
Construction Worker Tom
Hey, morning, Mr. Fredricksen! Need any help, sir?
Carl Uh, no... Er, yes! Tell your boss over there that you boys are ruining our house!
Tom
Well, just to let you know, my boss'll be happy to take this little place off your hands for double his last offer! Whaddaya say to that? [Carl blasts the worker with a leaf blower] I'll... take that as a "no", then.
Carl I believe I made my position to your boss quite clear.
Tom
You poured prune juice in his gas tank.
Carl [chuckles]
Yeah, that was good. Here, let me talk to him. [The worker hands him a megaphone.] You in the suit! Yes, you! Take a bath, hippie!
Tom
[snatches the megaphone back]
I am not with him! [to Carl] This is serious! He's out to get your house!
Carl Tell your boss he can have our house.
Tom
Really?
Carl When I'm DEAD! [slams door]
Tom
I'll take that as a "maybe"!
Carl [From the Exclusive Upisode.]
You got a run away in terror badge?
No.
Carl Time to earn it!
[Both screaming]
Good afternoon. My name is Russell. And I am a Wilderness Explorer in Tribe 54, Sweat Lodge 12. Are you in need of any assistance today, sir? What is it?
Carl No!
I could help you cross the street.
Carl No!
I could help you cross your yard.
Carl No!
I could help you cross your porch.
Carl No!
Russel
Well, I gotta help you cross something.
Carl Uh... no, I'm doing fine.
Hi, Mr. Fredricksen! It's me, Russell.
Carl What're you doing up here, kid?
I found the snipe and I followed it under your porch, but this snipe had a long tail and looked more like a large mouse.
Carl Let's play a game. It's called "See Who Can Be Quiet The Longest."
Cool! My mom loves that game! All right then.
Hey, I love dogs.
Carl We found your dog! Wonder who he belongs to.
Sit, boy. Hey, look, he's trained! Shake. Uh-huh. Speak.
Hi, there!
Carl [Carl and Russell both gasp and tense up] [spooked]
Did that dog just say "Hi, there"?
Oh, yes! [Carl screams] My name is Dug. I have just met you and I love you!
You gave away Kevin. You just gave her away.
Carl This is none of my concern! [turns his anger to the group] I didn't ask for any of this!
Master, it's all right.
Carl I'm not your master! And if you hadn't shown up, none of this would had happened! Bad dog! BAD DOG!
Carl [Dug, insulted and hurt by those words, walks away; then Carl turns to Russell] [calmly, but firmly]
I'm going to Paradise Falls if it has to kill me.
Tents are hard. Wait.
Carl Wait, aren't you super wilderness guy... with the GPMs and the badges?
Yeah, but... C–Can I tell you a secret?
Carl No!
Alright. Here goes. [quickly] I've never actually built a tent before. There, I said it! Phew.
Carl You've been camping before, haven't you?
Well... never outside.
Carl Well, why don't you ask your dad to help build you a tent?
Ah, I don't think he wants to talk about this stuff.
Carl Why don't you try him sometime? Maybe he'll surprise ya.
Well, he's away a lot. I don't see him much.
Carl He's gotta be home sometime!
Well, I call often… but... Phyllis told me I bug him too much.
Carl Phyllis? You call your own mother by her first name?
Phyllis isn't my mom.
Carl Oh...
Having guests is a delight! More often I get thieves, come to steal what's rightfully mine...
Carl No!
[picks up the lantern]
They called me a fraud, those... [illuminates the room, revealing a skeleton of Kevin's species, festooned with maps of the area] 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 ghastly labyrinth where it lives. Can't go in after it. Once in, there's no way out... Lost so many dogs... Here they come, these bandits that think the bird is theirs to take! But they soon find this mountain is a very dangerous place.
"Kevin"?
Yeah, that's my new giant bird pet. I trained it to follow us.
Follow you? That's impossible! How?
Chocolate?
Yeah, I gave her some of my chocolate. She goes ga-ga for it.
Carl But it ran off! [takes Russell's chocolate bar] It's gone now.
[Beat, Muntz glaring]
You know, Carl? [illuminates a shelf of flight caps] These people who pass through here, they all tell pretty good stories. A surveyor, making a map. [knocks one flight cap over] A botanist, cataloging plants. [knocks another cap over, then picks up a third] An old man, taking his house to Paradise Falls. [drops the cap, glaring at Carl] I mean, that's the best one yet. I can't wait to hear how it ends. [grins sinisterly]
Carl Come on, Kevin!
Carl [hears a knock on his door en route to rescue Russell]
Russell? [Opens the door to find Dug] Dug!
I was hiding under your porch because I love you. Can I stay?
Carl Can you stay? Well, you're my dog, aren't you? And I'm your master!
Carl Good boy, Dug! You're a good boy!
My knee hurts.
Carl Which knee?
My elbow hurts. And I have to go to the bathroooooooom. Bathroom.
Carl I asked if you had to go not five minutes ago!
I didn’t need to goooo theeeeennn! [falls to the ground;the house drags him] I don't want to walk anymore. Can we stop?
Carl Russell, if you don't hurry, the tigers will eat you.
Carl [sees Russell flying away]
Russell!
I'm gonna help Kevin, even if you won't!
Carl No, Russell! No!
Pete Docter on Up (2009 film)[edit]
Carl Fredricksen [After the construction tractor backed up to the mailbox, with Carl noticing it]
Why... Hey! [runs to his mailbox] Hey, you! What do you think you're doing?!
Steve
[tries to fix the mailbox]
I am so sorry, sir.
Carl Fredricksen [stops him]
Don't touch that!
Steve
No, no, no, let me take care of that for you.
Carl Fredricksen [pulls it away from him]
Get away from our mailbox!
Steve
Hey. Sir, I-
Carl Fredricksen I don't want you to TOUCH IT!!! [accidentally clubs Steve with his cane]
Steve
Ow!
[Then to Carl's horror, Steve's blood has drawn out from his head. Then terribly looks everyone who looks shocked at Carl, realizing what he had done. He retreats back inside his house, ashamed]
Carl Fredricksen [George and A.J. walk up to Carl's door and A.J. knocks on it. Carl opens the door]
Morning, gentlemen.
Nurse George
Good morning, Mr. Fredricksen. You ready to go?
Carl Fredricksen [chuckles]
Ready as I'll ever be. Would you do me a favor and take this? [hands A.J. a suitcase] I'll meet you at the van in just a minute. I, uh, wanna say one last goodbye to the old place.
Nurse George
Sure. Take all the time you need, sir.
Nurse AJ
[Carl slams his door shut]
That's typical. He's probably going to the bathroom for the 80th time.
Nurse George
[They start walking to their van] [sees the mess of helium canisters on Carl's lawn and scoffs]
You think he'd take better care of his house.
Carl Fredricksen [A large shadow begins to loom up behind them. Many balloons emerge from beneath a tarp and lift Carl's house off of the ground. Both scream. Carl's house hits their van. Its alarm goes off]
Ah, ha ha ha! So long, boys! I'll send you a postcard from Paradise Falls!
Carl Fredricksen Darn thing! Come on, Russell, would you hurry up?
I'm tired and my knee hurts.
Carl Fredricksen Which knee?
My elbow hurts, and I have to go to the bathroom.
Carl Fredricksen I asked you about that five minutes ago!
I didn't need to go then! [falls to the ground; the house drags him] I don't want to walk anymore. Can we stop?
Carl Fredricksen Russell, if you don't hurry up, the tigers will eat you.
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.
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 [grunts]
None of my concern!
Oh, it's before!
Carl Fredricksen [grunts again]
La la la la la!
Carl Fredricksen Get down, you're not allowed up there! [Kevin eats the balloon and swallows it and the ballon pops; she spits it out] You come down there right now! [Kevin comes down and hides behind Russell] Sheesh, can you believe this, Ellie?
Ellie? Hey, Ellie, could I keep the bird? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. She said for you to let me.
Carl Fredricksen But I told her no! [to Russell] I told you no! N-O.
Carl Fredricksen Well, thanks for keeping us dry anyway, Ellie.
Which one's the front?
Carl Fredricksen Oh, boy.
Is this step three or is this step five? There. All done. That's for you. [the pole catapults the tent cover in the air, then it plummets down the cliff] Oh, tents are hard.
Carl Fredricksen Wait, aren't you super wilderness guy with the GPMs and the badges?
Yeah, but... Can I tell you a secret?
Carl Fredricksen No!
Alright. Here goes. [quickly] I've never actually built a tent before. There, I said it!
Carl Fredricksen You've been camping before, haven't you?
Well... never outside.
Carl Fredricksen Well, why didn't you ask your dad to help build you a tent?
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.
Well, he's away a lot. I don't see him much.
Carl Fredricksen He's gotta be home sometime.
Well, I call often... but... Phyllis told me I bug him too much.
Carl Fredricksen Phyllis? You call your own mother by her first name?
Phyllis isn't my mom.
Carl Fredricksen Oh...
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.
Mr. Fredricksen, Dug says he wants to take Kevin prisoner. We have to protect her. [yawns] Can Kevin go with us?
Carl Fredricksen All right, she can come.
Promise you won't leave her?
Carl Fredricksen Yeah.
Cross your heart?
Carl Fredricksen Cross my heart. [to himself] What have I got myself into, Ellie?
I will have many enjoyments from what I am about to do, Dug.
Dog
[After Dug put the Cone of Shame on Alpha which his deep voice from translator broke, all dogs gasp] [shocked]
He wears the Cone of Shame?!
[in a squeaky]
What, what? Do not just continue sitting, attack!!! [All the dogs started laughingly] But, no, no! Stop your laughing! Get this off of me!
Listen, you dog! SIT! [Alpha obeys, so do the dogs]
Dogs
Yes, Alpha.
"Alpha"? I am not Alpha, he is... Oh.
Oh, I can't do it!
Carl Fredricksen Russell!
Huh?
Carl Fredricksen Caw, caw, raar! Caw, caw, raar!
You leave Mr. Fredricksen alone! [to the fighter dogs] Hey, squirrel!
Squirrel? Where? Where's the squirrel? I hate squirrels.
