Balto: Wolf Quest Page #2

Synopsis: Half wolf Balto has a litter with his full husky wife. Most puppies resemble her and are easily adopted by the Wild West villagers. Only one daughter, which has his lupine traits, must be raised by them and devoted goose Boris. She also proves a free-spirited rebel, drawn to the wild. Balto spares no effort to protect his stubborn, near-adult pup, which leads to both of them confronting and joining wise old 'wolf shaman' Nava's troop, which needs to make hard choices, requiring a strapping younger leader.

since I'm not a baby anymore,

I don't need a baby-sitter.

And you can tell that

to my father.

Come on, Aleu.

You'll always be my baby,

no matter how old you are.

Oh, you're hopeless.

Let's go.

What's going to happen

when a human picks me up,

huh. Papa?

Who are you

going to baby then?

Come on, guys!

She's a good pup.

"Good, " yes.

"Pup, " no.

At m ore than year old,

Aleu should have

home of her own.

When the right time comes,

she'll find a home.

Yes, but when

the right time comes.

will you let her?

Oy, I hope so.

[ Laughing, Whooping ]

Wheel

Ride 'em, cowboy!

Yippee!

[ Laughs ]

[ Cawing ]

[ Cawing Continues ]

[ Sniffing ]

[Gasps ]

No, it's a human.

He wouldn't hurt me.

Maybe he'll wanna adopt me.

[ Cawing ]

- [ Cawing ]

- [ Snarling ]

- [ Gun Firing ]

Sounds like trouble, mate.

[ Whimpering ]

Bears to the rescue!

[ Snarling ]

Papa, what's going on?

Stop!

Goose to the rescue!

[ Boris Yelling ]

- [ Shouting ]

- [ Whimpering ]

[ Crashing ]

[Balto ]

Is everyone all right?

[Gasps ]

Right as rain.

Come on.

We've gotta get outta here!

Aleu, now!

Whatsa matter?

You taking a nap?

Stand up! Come on!

Hurry up!

[ Gasping, Panting ]

Those spirits must be

trying to trick me.

I don't understand. Papa.

Why did you attack him?

What if he wanted

to adopt me?

Uh, guys?

Could you

help m out here?

Oh, of course.

Oh! Uh, sorry, mate.

but a wise polar bear always

minds his own business.

[ Clears Throat ]

It is my opinion that-

Waah!

- Well?

- Okay.

See, that hunter was

looking for wild animals

to kill...

for food and fur.

So?

I'm not a wild animal.

Well, he thought you were.

[Gasps ]

What? Why?

He thought

you were a wolf.

Oh.

I knew there was

something wrong with me.

There is nothing wrong with you.

You have a proud heritage.

Oh, sure.

- Your mother is a purebred Husky.

- Then what are you?

I-I'm the one

who's part wolf.

How could this happen?

Look, Aleu,

my dad was a Husky

who had pups with a wolf.

Great. My grandmother

was a wild animal?

Did the wolf teach you

how to know when a human

wants to kill you?

I was accidentally separated

from her when I was young.

so, I-I never

spent much time with...

the wolf.

But I remember

that she was as white as snow.

that she had this warm voice

that made me feel safe.

Well, then Boris

took me in, and...

after being raised

by a goose, it's a wonder

I don't honk instead of bark.

Why didn't you

tell me this before?

Because... I wanted

to protect you.

Protect me? From what--

from the fact

that no human will ever want me

because I'm part wild animal?

Aleu, I-

And what about

my brothers and sisters?

They've got wolf in them too.

Why did humans want them?

Because they don't look it.

[ Sighs ]

and you do.

It's not fair.

I hate you!

[ Sobbing ]

Aleu!

Aleu, come back!

Leave me alone!

[ Sighs ]

[ Honking ]

[ Panting ]

Where do I belong?

[ Moaning ]

What is it?

What do you want?

[ Panting ]

[ Moans ]

[ Yelling ]

[ Cawing ]

[ Cawing Continues ]

[Female Voce]

My son, you need to know

the animal totems...

who will help guide you now.

The fox

the cunning trickster.

The wolverine-

your fears.

The bear

inner knowing.

Cart bou- life.

[ Howling ]

[ Moaning ]

Huh? Oh.

[ Balto Sighs ]

[ Sniffing ]

Huh?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ]

What are you two doing?

Shh!

We're here to play with Aleu.

- [ Chuckles ]

- [Crashing ]

But Aleu's not here

to play.

No, no, no, no.

[ Groans ]

She's around here

somewhere, I--

Wait a minute.

You mean you can't find her?

Uh, no.

No, no.

I just wanted

to give her some time.

I was sure she'd come home.

She's gotta be

at her mother's.

[ Sniffling, Sobbing ]

I know.

I wish we had a mum too.

[ Both Sobbing ]

jenna!

Balto! What are you

doing here so early?

Is Aleu all right?

I don't know.

I was hoping

she was with you.

She's... kinda mad at me.

Stay there.

Now, tell me what happened.

A hunter took aim at her.

[Gasps ]

No, no, don't worry.

We got away.

But I-- I finally had to

tell her how humans see her.

You mean, you told her

about being part--

Yes. We should have done it

sooner. I know that now.

She's so angry with me.

She must have run away.

Run away?

I'm sorry, jenna.

I never thought it would

turn out this way.

I thought I could keep her safe.

But she's not safe now.

She's running wild!

- We've got to find her.

- No, not you, jenna.

This is my fault, and it's

something that Aleu and I

have to work out together.

Don't worry. I'll find her.

Oh.

[ Sniffing ]

[Gasps ]

[ Cawing ]

You.

What is it you want?

[ Continues Cawing ]

- Am I supposed to follow you?

- [ Cawing ]

All right. But only if

you help me find my daughter.

Wait!

I can't follow you in this.

Where are you?

[Female Voice]

Wnere are you ?

Here. Keep talking,

and I'll find you.

Uh- Mmm-

[Mother's Voice]

A cunning trickster.

You look disappointed.

Sorry. I--

I just thought

you might be a raven.

And I thought

that you might be a hunter.

But unlike you,

I'm not disappointed.

Say, I'll help you find

your daughter if you'll

help me out of this trap.

- How did you know

I'm looking for my daughter?

- The raven told me.

What do you know

about the raven?

Less than you, I'm sure.

Now, do we have a deal,

or don't we?

Yes. But no tricks.

[ Grunting ]

There. Now, how can you

help me find my daughter?

Easy. By giving you

a little push.

[ Yelling ]

[ Gasping ]

Why did you do that?

Help me!

[ Chuckling ]

Oh, but I did.

And now you must

help yourself.

Are you crazy?

The current is too strong!

Then let the current

take you!

[ Yelling ]

[ Burps ]

- [ Chuckling ]

- [ Croaking ]

Huh!

[ Inhaling ]

What are you

meshugenah bears doing?

Uh, gee, Uncle Boris,

Luc and me-- we was just tryin'

to communicate with the toad.

Communicate with toad.

Ribbit

Yeah, see there?

Luc just asked it

if it's seen Aleu.

[ Croaking ]

You bears are

a bagel short of a bushel.

I don't know why

I put up with you.

Sorry, Uncle Boris.

Do you still need us?

Yes.

Like a hole in the head.

Now, close your mouths...

and keep nose out for them.

[ Sniffing ]

Ann! Ann! Ann!

[ Muffled Exclaiming ]

[ Muffled Shouting ]

Now what? You two have

ants in pants?

[ Squawks ]

Balto!

[Faint ]

Balto, can you hear me?

Boris?

Don't worry, boychik!

Boris is coming!

What's happening,

Uncle Boris?

I don't know.

I can't see nothing.

[ Shouting ]

Balto!

Balto! Balto!

[ Sniffing ]

It's Aleu!

- Answer me!

- Boris, I've got Aleu's trail.

Go back and tell jenna

not to worry. I'm going to

find Aleu and bring her home.

Oy. Come,

we do as Balto says

and go tell jenna.

But Uncle Boris,

Luc and me wanted to go

on a journey.

I'm sorry, boys,

but this journey is

for Balto and Aleu alone.

[jenna ]

What do you mean,

'he just ran off"?

I mean, he's got Aleu's scent.

Told me to tell you

not to worry, and away he went.

He's a wolf on a mission.
