“What's that?” – Fink, The Wild Robot ... Movie Quotes Database

Fink

[Roz has finally gotten the gosling to eat by feeding him worms. Meanwhile, Fink is eating some poached clams thanks to Roz boiling some for him by heating up a rockpool with her laser. She then opens her chest cavity, attempting to fix her damaged power core.]

What's that?

Roz

My power core. It is damaged. Without it, I rely on my solar surfaces and batteries.

Fink

Yeah, you should work on that. [he eats another clam then burps]

Roz

I also need a replacement transmitter.

Fink

Ugh, do I have to do everything? When we come across another robot, we'll kill it... [he smashes two clams together as he says this, before eating them and continuing with his mouth full] ...and take its transmitter.

Roz

Negative. Rozzum inhibition protocols prevent deliberate harm to others.

Fink

[A hungry crab advances on the gosling, but Roz keeps pushing it away every time it comes too close.]

Look, you need to learn how things work on this island.

Fink

[Fink pushes the crab into the heated rockpool, boiling it.]

Me, the bear, everybody, we're all just trying to survive. [he pulls the claws off the boiled crab's body] And kindness is not a survival skill.

Fink

[Fink tosses one claw away and eats the other one. Meanwhile the gosling playfully runs around him.]

Yeah, so, uh, how'd you get a gosling anyway?

Roz

There was an accident. I terminated his family.

Fink

[Fink covers the gosling's ears and speaks in a hushed tone.]

For future reference, you probably want to keep all that to yourself.

Roz

Understood: Do not mention dead family. Fink, how long do you estimate Swim and Fly to take?

Fink

Swimming's easy! [he picks up the gosling with both his front paws] I can teach him the way my mom taught me. SWIM!

Roz

[Fink kicks the gosling into the air, who screams before falling into a nearby rockpool with a splash. He smiles back at Roz innocently.]

Fink!

Fink

Hmm?

Roz

He will not learn that way.

Fink

[Roz pulls the gosling out of the rockpool and places him back on dry land.] [groans]

Not if you keep doing that. [climbs onto Roz's left shoulder] Just between us, this whole thing might not take as long as you think. Your gosling, he isn't exactly normal.

Roz

I have a defective baby?

Fink

He's what they call a runt.

Roz

A runt?

Fink

Fact is, even if his whole family hadn't had been killed, he probably wouldn't have lived very long. Just, I don't know, don't get too attached to the little guy. That's all.

Fink

[As they discuss this, the gosling gets a clam snap shut on his head, falls into an anemone's grasp before a seagull pulls him loose. Just then, a wave pushes him back to shore, with a starfish latching onto him before he falls back into the clam and is nearly trampled by more passing gulls. Roz then picks the gosling up and brings him back to her and Fink.]

If you want, I could eat him right now and save you the grief later!

Roz

[Fink stuffs the gosling into his mouth, before Roz grabs the gosling's legs and pulls him out with some difficulty, with Fink growling a little as she does so.]

Negative. Eating this task is not the same as completing it!

Fink

Ugh, so we're doing this. Well, if you don't want me or anyone else to eat him... [He attempts to snatch up the gosling in his jaws, but Roz rotates him to the other side of her shoulders to stop him] ...you're gonna need a place that's safer... [He makes another attempt but Roz rotates the gosling again] than out here! [He makes a final attempt and the same thing happens yet again.] Which... is a great idea! [He claps his front paws in mock excitement.] New project!

Fink

[Roz stands up, and Fink falls off with a yelp. He burps as he hits the ground, before Roz drags him alongside her as she walks back towards the forest.]

Is it normal to burp this much? [He then notices the other crab claw he tossed away earlier.] Ooh! [He picks it up, burps again, and eats the second claw as well.]
