Balto III: Wings of Change Page #3

So what is problem?

I've chased that bush

plane. I can't beat it.

That could be problem.

(Dogs cheering)

(Ralphy) We'll beat

that plane paws down,

now that you're lead dog.

Listen...

We're behind you 100 percent.

(Dipsy) To the max!

If anyone can do it, you can.

Everyone, listen. I've seen it fly.

We have to consider the possibility...

Let's do the call!

(All howling and barking)

(Howling and barking continues)

Yes, this is good. Very good.

You think a bunch of dogs

can beat an airplane?

Of course not. Is impossible.

Oh. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

If you think we're

gonna lose, why

are you so happy?

Because I have solved

my Stella problem.

Oh.

Let me guess. You're

gonna tell her the truth.

Are you crazy?

Ah! Oy! The pain!

The pain! Oh!

An old migratory injury is back.

What migratory

injury? You've never

migrated anywhere.

What does it matter?

If I'm in pain,

I cannot fly, yes?

(Dog howling)

What are you

doing here? It's late.

I just thought I'd say hello.

(Laughs) You couldn't

wait until morning?

I thought you'd miss me too much.

Always. So, what's up?

With me? Nothing.

Uh-huh.

I don't know. It's just...

Well, you saw that

plane. It's so fast.

I can't...

There's no way

to keep up with it.

How can I look Kodi

in the eyes if we lose?

You're his father.

He loves you.

He knows me as

the town hero.

The great Balto

who saved Nome.

What happens when

I'm the same Balto

who loses the mail run?

Oh, Balto.

You don't have

to be a hero

You just have to be there

He doesn't need to

know you're perfect

He needs to know you care

And when the race is over

You've done all you can do

Be a father, not a hero

That's all he needs from you

You don't have to be a winner

If you give it your best

Believe in who you are

And then time can do the rest

Your heart is his example

Brave and strong and true

You don't have to be a hero

You just have to be you

Trust in your son

He's more than he seems

Like you, he can run

Like you, he has dreams

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Whatever happens, Balto,

you'll always be his hero.

Have faith in yourself, my love

Have faith in him too

He will always have a hero

He will always have a hero

For he'll always have you

(Sniffing)

(Sniffing)

It's OK, boy. I'm not

gonna hurt you.

Wait a minute, I saw you

this morning. Balto?

Heh. Heard a lot

about you, boy.

Quite a hero around here.

You saved a lot of lives

in that diphtheria scare.

I can't figure out how you

found your way back

here with the medicine.

That was some storm.

(Sniffing)

Come on. It's OK.

You seem to like

my plane, huh, boy?

I call her the Tundra Express.

Nothing can beat being up there,

soaring above the clouds, free.

(Stella) More seeds, Boris?

(Boris) Maybe just a few.

Is that better?

A little.

That must have

been some fight

you were in, hot stuff,

if you're still feeling it all these years later.

You've heard of bald eagle?

He wasn't bald till

I finished with him.

(Laughs)

So, honey, what else

can I do to get you

back on your wings?

Well, I do have this itch.

Here?

Oh... oh...

Little to the left.

Here?

To the right.

How's this?

Heaven.

When you're better,

we can fly around.

Who knows what

could happen then?

Say, tomorrow?

The pain! Oh, the pain!

Oh, it's excruciating.

Ohh. Mmm.

(People chatting excitedly)

Are you ready? I'm ready.

Are you ready? Cos I'm ready.

Something tells me

he's ready.

This is gonna be great, Dad.

Good luck, you two.

Luck? Ha! Like that

will make a difference.

Mr. Optimism.

That's why I like having you around.

Always a pleasure.

Why are you here,

anyway? I thought

you'd be with Stella.

Believe me, I'm going right away back.

Did she fall for that

ridiculous story of yours?

I have her eating out of wing.

(Clears throat)

Oh, oh, the pain!

(Laughs) I tell you, Balto,

I am having cake

and eating it too.

(Balto) Uh, Boris...

Whoever called me

a silly goose will

eat his words.

- Boris!

- Stella is treating me like a king.

I just have to keep

this up for summer.

I am made in the shade.

I am a genius.

Ahh!

It is a miracle! I am

suddenly all better.

So, you're a big, fat liar.

You're just another

slick bird honking out

of both sides of his beak.

Stella, listen to me.

And make a bigger

fool of myself?

No. Your goose is

cooked. (Honks angrily)

Ouch. I-I can explain.

You don't know whole story.

(Stella honking)

(Screams)

(Boris) Ow! No! Oh! Ooh!

Well, well, couldn't happen

to a nicer bird.

Have a good ride, flyboy.

(Boris, muffled) Hey!

Hello! Anybody!

Here's your mail, Mr. Simpson.

Good luck to you.

Thanks, Mr. Conner.

(Dogs barking)

(Howls)

Attention. Attention, everybody.

The U.S. Mail is now

aboard both the dogsled

and the bush plane.

The winner'll be the competitor

who is first to deliver

the mail safely to the

town of White Mountain

then returns to Nome

with the new bag of mail.

(All cheering)

All right, everybody. On your mark,

get set...

(All cheering)

Ha! Hey! Hey!

(Barking)

(Switches clicking)

(Panting)

- Come on.

- (Engine growls, then stutters)

Come on.

(Starter motor whirring)

(Engine starts)

(Chirping)

Go! Go! Go!

Hey! Ow! Ahh!

(Barking)

Ooh! Ooh!

My toenail. It's killing me.

We gotta slow down.

Or not.

Kirby, you're pulling me again.

Me? You gotta be kidding.

Keep in line, boys.

(Kirby) You got it, Balto

(Growls)

(Balto) All right,

everybody.

Move those feet.

(Kodi) Come on, everybody.

(Balto) White Mountain. There it is.

Oh, no.

(Kodi) I don't believe it.

(Kirby) How'd he do that?

(Dusty) What are we gonna do now?

Hey, the race is only half over.

Don't give up now.

Ha! Hey!

Mail delivery, sir.

(Honking)

Thanks, Duke.

Here's the return batch.

(Starter motor whirring)

(Engine stuttering)

(Grunting)

(Engine starts)

(Grunting)

Wait a minute. Hold the wire.

Where am I?

Oh!

(Barking)

(Engine stuttering)

(Engine stops)

Here's the mail from Nome, sir.

Thanks. Let's load you up

for the return trip.

White Mountain?

How did this disaster happen?

This mail goes right back to Nome.

Good luck to you.

Balto! Balto! Take me home!

(Dogs barking)

No! No!

I am stuck in White Mountain.

I'm going to spend

the rest of my days

in White Mountain.

I'm going to die of boredom

in White Mountain.

(Banging)

I am...

Huh?

Going home!

Sled team already left.

What's your holdup?

Ice. Gotta get it off

the wings before I can fly.

Oh...

(Starter motor whirring)

(Engine stuttering)

(Engine starts)

Aaah-oooh!

(Crash)

Oh, I wonder how far

they are by now?

Well, assuming they didn't get lost

or get attacked by bears

or Balto didn't break his leg

or the mail didn't fall out of the sled

or Kodi didn't barf or...

Never mind.

Look at what the dog dragged in.

Triple A, number one,

first quality beef jerky.

And did old Guntersson

see a thing?

Absolutely not.

You know, I am getting

so good, I scare

myself. Anyone?
