Quotes33

  • Russell: That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.
  • Carl Fredricksen: Hey, let's play a game. It's called "See Who Can Be Quiet the Longest".
  • Russell: Cool! My mom loves that game!
  • Russell: [reading from his scout handbook in monotone] Good afternoon. My name is Russell, and I am a Wilderness Explorer in Tribe 54, Sweatlodge 12. Are you in need of any assistance today, sir?
  • Carl Fredricksen: No.
  • Russell: I could help you cross the street.
  • Carl Fredricksen: No.
  • Russell: I could help you cross your yard.
  • Carl Fredricksen: No.
  • Russell: I could help you cross your... porch?
  • Carl Fredricksen: No.
  • Russell: Well, I gotta help you cross *something*!
  • Russell: [Whining] I'm tired! My knee hurts!
  • Carl Fredricksen: Which knee?
  • Russell: ...My elbow hurts!
  • Russell: [points to Kevin] I found the snipe!
  • Carl Fredricksen: [amused] Oh, did you now?
  • [chuckles]
  • Russell: Are they tall?
  • Carl Fredricksen: Oh, yes. They're very tall.
  • Russell: Do they have a lot of colors?
  • Carl Fredricksen: They do, indeed!
  • Russell: Do they like chocolate?
  • Carl Fredricksen: Ye... chocolate?
  • [he turns around and sees Kevin]
  • Carl Fredricksen: Gaah! What is that thing?
  • [Carl just saved Russell, tied to a chair, from falling to his death off Muntz' Airship, and leaves him on the porch]
  • Russell: But I want to help!
  • Carl Fredricksen: I don't want your help, I want you safe.
  • Russell: A wilderness explorer is a friend to all, be a plant or fish or tiny mole!
  • Carl Fredricksen: That doesn't even rhyme!
  • Russell: [offended] Yeah it does.
  • [Carl, with his house high in the air, hears a knock at the door and finds Russell on the front porch]
  • Russell: Hi, Mr. Fredricksen! It's me, Russell!
  • Carl Fredricksen: What are you doing out here, kid?
  • Russell: 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.
  • [Russell's Wilderness Explorers flag blows away in the wind]
  • Russell: Please let me in.
  • Carl Fredricksen: No.
  • [Carl goes inside and slams the door. Russell waits uncertainly a few moments]
  • Carl Fredricksen: [opens the door] Oh, all right. You can come...
  • [Russell races past Carl into the house]
  • Carl Fredricksen: ...in.
  • Russell: [off screen in the jungle] Mr. Fredricksen? Am I supposed to dig the hole before or after?
  • Carl Fredricksen: Nyaa! None of my concern!
  • Russell: [after a pause] Oh... It's before!
  • Carl Fredricksen: Nyaa!
  • [covers his ears and shakes his head]
  • Russell: [Carl and Russell find Dug in a South American desert; Russel pets him] Hey, I like dogs!
  • Carl Fredricksen: [calling out] We have your dog!
  • Russell: [Dug walks around Russell] Whoa.
  • Carl Fredricksen: I wonder who he belongs to?
  • Russell: Sit, boy.
  • [Dug sits]
  • Russell: Hey look, he's trained! Shake.
  • [Dug shakes his paw]
  • Russell: Uh-huh. Speak.
  • Dug: Hi there.
  • Carl Fredricksen: [He and Russell make surprised exclamations] Did that dog just say "Hi there"?
  • Dug: Oh, yes.
  • Carl Fredricksen: Whaa!
  • Dug: My name is Dug. I have just met you, and I love you.
  • [he jumps up on Carl]
  • Carl Fredricksen: Wha...
  • Dug: My master made me this collar. He is a good and smart master and he made me this collar so that I may speak. Squirrel!
  • [looks to distance for a few seconds]
  • Dug: My master is good and smart.
  • Carl Fredricksen: It's not possible!
  • Dug: Oh, it is because my master is smart!
  • Russell: Cool! What do these do, boy?
  • Russell: [Russell starts to fiddle with a dial on Dug's collar, causing him to cycle through languages and different voices] Hey would you - cuerdo con tigo - I use that collar - watashi wa hanashi ma - to talk with. I would be happy if you stop.
  • Carl Fredricksen: Russell, don't touch that. It could be... radioactive or something.
  • Dug: I am a great tracker. My pack sent me on a special mission, all by myself. Have you seen a bird? I am going to find one, and I am on the scent. I am a great tracker; did I mention that?
  • [Dug is suddenly attacked by Kevin, who shrieks in Dug's face after pinning him to the ground]
  • Dug: Hey, that is the bird! I have never seen one up close, but this is the bird. May I take your bird back to camp as my prisoner?
  • Carl Fredricksen: Yes, yes, take it! And on the way, learn how to bark like a real dog!
  • Dug: Oh, I can bark.
  • [barks]
  • Dug: And this is howling.
  • [howls]
  • Russell: [Kevin screeches] Can we keep him? Please, please, please?
  • Carl Fredricksen: No.
  • Russell: But it's a TALKING DOG!
  • Carl Fredricksen: It's just a weird trick or something. Let's get to the falls.
  • Carl Fredricksen: You'd better get up, Russell. Or else, the tigers will come and eat you.
  • Russell: There are no Tigers in South America. Zoology.
  • Carl Fredricksen: I can't tell where we are.
  • Russell: Oh, we're in South America, all right. It was a cinch with my Wilderness Explorer GPS.
  • Carl Fredricksen: GP what?
  • Russell: My dad gave it to me; it shows exactly where we are on the planet!
  • [runs to window making beeping sounds]
  • Russell: With this baby, we'll never be lost!
  • [gestures and accidentally throws the unit out the window]
  • Russell: Oops.
  • Dug: [With Kevin up on the roof of Carl's house, calling out] The Bird is calling to her babies.
  • Russell: Her babies! Kevin's a Girl?
  • Alpha: [Through a communicator on Beta's collar] This is Alpha calling Dug. Come in, Dug.
  • Dug: Hi Alpha. Hey, your voice sounds funny.
  • Alpha: I know, I know! Have you seen the bird?
  • Dug: Why, yes. The bird is my prisoner now.
  • Gamma: Yeah, right!
  • [Kevin hisses at the screen]
  • Alpha: Impossible! Where are you?
  • Dug: I am here with the bird, and I will bring it back, and then you will like me. Oh, gotta go.
  • [Russell appears on the screen]
  • Russell: Hey Dug! Who you talking to?
  • Alpha: [the screen goes black] No, wait, wait!
  • Beta: What's Dug doing?
  • Gamma: Why's he with that small mailman?
  • Beta: Where are they?
  • [Alpha locates Dug on GPS]
  • Dug: There he is, come on!
  • [they all dart into the jungle]
  • Russell: Hey look, buildings! That building's so close, I can almost touch it!
  • Russell: [In Carl's thought] Wow! This is great! You should try this, Mr. Fredricksen! Look, there's a bus stop that could take me home two blocks away! Heyy, I can see your house from here!
  • Carl Fredricksen: [pulling on rope] Don't jerk around so much, kid -
  • [let's go, shocked]
  • Russell: AHH!
  • [fades away]
  • Carl Fredricksen: [back in reality] Well, that's not gonna work.
  • Russell: [to Carl, about Kevin] This was her favorite candy bar. Because you sent her away, there's more for you.
  • Russell: I've never been in a floating house before.
  • [Russell sees a picture of Ellie and laughs]
  • Russell: Goggles. Look at this stuff. Wow! You're going on a trip?
  • [Russell picks up a picture of Paradise Falls and reads from it]
  • Russell: "Paradise Falls, a land lost in time." You're going to South America, Mr. Fredricksen?
  • [Carl grabs the picture from Russell]
  • Carl Fredricksen: Don't touch that! You'll soil it.
  • Russell: You know, most people take a plane, but you're smart because you'll have all your TV and clocks and stuff.
  • Russell: Where are you keeping Kevin? Let me go!
  • Beta: Scream all you want, small mailman.
  • Alpha: None of your mailman friends can hear you.
  • Russell: I'll unleash all my Wilderness Explorer training!
  • Dug: Oh, please, oh, please, oh, please be my prisoner!
  • Russell: Dug, stop bothering Kevin!
  • Dug: That man there says I should take the bird...
  • [Kevin squacks at Dug]
  • Dug: ... and I love that man there like he is my master.
  • Carl Fredricksen: I am not your master!
  • Dug: I am warning you once again, bird!
  • Russell: Hey! Quit it!
  • Dug: I am jumping on you now, bird!
  • Carl Fredricksen: Russell, at this rate we'll never get to the falls!
  • Dug: Here, bird!
  • Russell: The wilderness must be explored! CA-CA! RAAWWRR!
