Balto III: Wings of Change Page #4

Eat? At a time like this?

Go ahead, Dipsy.

(Muffled) Thanks.

I don't mind if I do.

(Humming and munching)

(Dogs barking)

I can't see my nose

in front of my face.

That's good. Cos it's ugly.

Very funny, wise guy.

What if we don't catch up? What if we lose?

(Dusty) That plane's gotta be

halfway to Nome by now.

Nobody quits on my team.

Nobody. Move, move, move!

(Howling and barking)

(Honking)

Other reason I do not like to fly.

I'm about to lose my lunch.

(Balto) Do you hear that?

(Kodi) The plane engine?

We're catching up.

I can't see it.

It's up there, all right.

And we're beating it.

Ahhh!

(Howling and barking)

Whoa, there.

Come on, Dusty. You got it.

I'm OK.

Do you hear the plane

anymore, Dad?

No.

Where the heck am I?

Come on, baby.

Ohhh!

(Mel) They should have

been back by now.

I knew it. They're in trouble.

Please, Mel,

don't get started.

(Grinding sounds)

The plane.

It's gonna win?

Oh, brother.

Well, where is it?

(Silence)

Wait. What happened?

(Grinding)

Wait a minute.

That's the sawmill.

Not the plane?

(Howling and barking)

Balto.

Balto!

(Jenna) They won!

(Dipsy) They did it?

I don't believe it.

(People cheering)

Easy, easy.

(Cheering continues)

Did we beat the plane,

Mr. Conner?

Congratulations, Mr. Simpson.

You've done it.

You're the winners.

Yes!

(People cheering, dogs barking)

(Kodi) Yeah, we beat

that plane. Kicked its tail.

Yeah! If this doesn't prove

us dogs rule...

what does?

Thanks for saving our jobs, Dad.

For the time being.

What do you mean?

I don't think that's

the last of the

bush planes, son.

Their day is coming.

How can you say that?

We beat him.

This time, Kodi.

But I've seen them.

We can't do this every time.

You're just wrong.

It's what I think.

You know how much

this job means to him.

Yeah, I know.

Where's Boris?

I thought Mr. Positive

would be here

celebrating with us.

Maybe he made up

with his new girlfriend.

Probably.

You know, I don't get it.

Duke should be here by now.

A little bad weather and

that yellow-bellied plane

flies south for winter.

He'll show up with his

tail between his wings.

I know what's wrong.

He's a sore loser.

(All laughing)

What could be wrong?

We still have our jobs.

Yeah. Yeah, we do.

And we're gonna keep them.

Come on, let's go.

What are you doing

out here? The party's

on the beach.

I'm just wondering

what happened to Duke.

Are you really worried?

Balto! Balto!

(Panting) It was awful. It was terrible.

Did I say it was awful?

There we were,

fishing the river, just minding

or own business when it...

attacked!

What attacked?

The monster.

(Growling and shrieking)

Wait a minute. A monster?

We could barely see it through the fog

but we could hear it getting closer

and closer.

We didn't stick around

to introduce

ourselves. We bolted!

But it chased us,

growling and snarling,

until finally, it pounced

out of the sky.

If Luc hadn't yanked

me out of the way,

we would have been...

crushed.

(Both wail and sob)

Where's this... monster now?

Out there.

Stuck in the snow.

That's how we escaped.

It pounced out of the sky?

And the snarling,

was it really loud?

Loud? It was louder

than a wild-eyed grizzly.

(Both) The bush plane.

(Thudding and creaking)

(Boris moaning)

Ay! Ow! Oh!

I must get help.

Oh!

(Wind whistling)

(Kirby) Balto,

you don't even know

the plane is out there.

Your sources are

a couple of mentally

challenged polar bears

talking about a monster.

Need I say more?

I just have a hunch.

It's worth finding out, right?

I don't get it. We won

the race, fair and square,

and now you want us

to help the enemy?

He's not the enemy.

He's a man. A nice one.

But Dad, he is the enemy.

He wants to take away our jobs.

It's not our fault

that plane's unreliable.

Not to mention

loud and smelly.

Yeah, kinda like

you, Ralphy boy.

(All laughing)

This is serious.

That plane is out there

somewhere.

We're the only ones who can help.

That just proves our point.

The difference between

a dog and a machine

is dogs are tough and reliable.

I thought the difference

is only one has a heart.

I'm not gonna let Duke freeze to death.

Who's coming with me?

Kodi?

I don't even think he's out there.

But my job is to deliver the mail.

I'm sorry you see it that way.

Dad, wait.

Balto the trouble dog, right?

Hey, Stella. Sorry, but I'm kinda busy.

Tell Boris that I'll be gone for a while.

But Boris is why

I'm coming to see you.

Not that I'm interested

but did you see

the bum come back?

Come back? Where'd he go?

I thought he was with you.

Let's say he took

an unscheduled flight

on that bush plane.

Served him right, the stinker.

Boris was on the plane?

I saw him get packed

on myself. Don't ask.

Stella, I think...

Well, I think the plane crashed.

What?

As fast as you can, boys.

It's gonna be a cold night.

Er, you're positive when

we get back there

the monster won't get us?

Trust me.

I don't even know

why I'm going on

this rescue operation,

that lying, untrustworthy

ball of feathers.

- You know, he's nuts about you.

- Really?

Did he say something?

He only said that you

were more beautiful

than a wild rose

and more luminous

than the northern lights.

He didn't say that.

No, he didn't, but I know

it's what he thought.

And how do you

know so much?

I've known Boris

since I was a pup.

He may be a pain

in the butt but he's...

He's the dad I never had.

Yeah, a pain. That's

what he is, all right.

I wish I'd never

laid eyes on that

lying beak of his

or that little cute waddle

when he walks

or that feather that sticks out

in that funny way on

his neck, you know?

I was the one who

chased him onto that plane.

If anything happens to him,

I'll never forgive myself.

At this rate, we won't

get there till next spring.

Say, fellas, why don't you

tell me where the plane

went down so I can fly there?

Good idea.

Let's see. The frightening

monster ran amok at...

I mean, the bush plane

attacked us by Bear Claw Rock,

just past Falcon's Peak.

Got it. Bear Rock, Falcon's Peak.

Wish me luck, boys.

(Laughs) Good one, Luc.

Got beat by the spring snow.

There's gotta be soft patches all over the...

(Screams)

Would you look at that?

Stella's found them already.

She's better than I thought.

Bear Peak, Falcon Rock?

Whatever it was you told me,

I have no clue where I'm going.

I'm just here on vacation.

I guess that leaves you out

as our tour guide, then.

Come on. Let's get going.

(Cracking)

(Man) Something's happened to the plane.

(Woman) Let's send out a search party.

(2nd man) Where to look?

(3rd man) It could be anywhere.

Do you know how

much open territory

there is between us

and White Mountain?

No, but I bet you're gonna tell us.

Millions of miles.

They'll be looking for it for weeks.

Listen, if anyone can find him, Balto can.

Kodi?

Kodiak, come here.

Yeah, Mom.

I thought you went with your dad.
