A line from Charles F. Muntz [to Carl, laughing]You came here in that? In a house? A floating house? *[laughs] That is the darnedest thing I've ever seen! You're not after my bird, are you? But if you need to borrow a cup of sugar, I'd happy to oblige.

You know, Carl, these people who pass through here. They all tell pretty good stories. A surveyor making a map. [he knocks down the first helmet] A botanist cataloging plants. [he knocks down the second helmet] An old man taking his house to Paradise Falls. [drops the last helmet] I mean, that's the best one yet. I can't wait to hear how it ends! [grins evilly]

No!
Muntz [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.
Muntz "Kevin"?
Yeah, that's my new giant bird pet. I trained it to follow us.
Muntz Follow you? That's impossible! How?
Muntz Chocolate?
Yeah, I gave her some of my chocolate. She goes ga-ga for it.
But it ran off! [takes Russell's chocolate bar] It's gone now.
Muntz [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]
Charles F. Muntz [last words]
Any last words Fredricksen? Come on, spit it out!
