Balto III: Wings of Change Page #5

No, I didn't.

You mean your dad's out there alone?

Why didn't you go?

Well, I...

I don't know. I don't know

why he's even looking.

There is a man out

there, maybe dying.

We could have lost our jobs

because of that man.

You think your job is

worth more than a life?

(Sighs)

I should have gone with Balto.

Do you think Uncle Boris is OK?

He's probably griping

about what's taking

us so long.

Come on, let's pick up the pace.

Right. Onward. Onward.

Oh!

(Grunting)

Hmmm...

Their hearts are

in the right place.

They are kinda cute,

if you have a thing

for polar bears.

(Cracking)

(Cracking)

(Crashing)

(All screaming)

This is no time to be playing games.

(Muc) Help! Stella!

Quick, grab my leg.

What was I thinking?

Hang on, Balto!

Muc! Luc!

Hang in there, boys.

There's got to be a way out.

I'll fly ahead and

look for something.

Hurry!

Reverse! Reverse!

Go the other way!

Trouble ahead?

Depends how you feel about waterfalls.

(Crashing)

What are you trying to do?

Give me a stroke?

Because you did. That's it.

No more white water

adventures. No more.

(Panting)

It's a deal.

(Groans)

I ache in places I didn't know I had.

Come on, you sore

from that little run?

And you aren't?

Me?

Don't be ridiculous.

(Twang)

The big talker.

Hey-hey. Our newest teammate.

Listen, guys, I've been thinking.

Maybe the pilot really is lost.

Joining the other side?

Of course not.

I'm one of you. It's just...

(Kodi) Well... the

temperature's dropping.

He's just a human.

He could freeze to death.

So? He shoulda

thought of the risks

before he challenged

us to a race.

Yeah, but...

You're either with us or against us.

All I ever wanted

to do was be a

part of your team.

Bringing the mail

and supplies is

about helping everyone.

And when somebody

really needs our help,

we're sitting on our butts.

If this is what it means

to be a mail dog,

I'm not sure that's what I wanna be.

Any more, Balto?

Sorry, Stella.

So, now what?

Well, I think I know where we are.

Think? Why don't I like

the sound of that?

(Muc) I know where

we are. Much too close

to moose territory.

You have a thing about mooses?

Everybody knows bull moose are mean.

(Whimpering)

Mean and stubborn.

And did I mention

those antlers?

Sharp and big.

Sharp and strong.

(Growling)

Ooh!

See how dangerous they are?

I'm guessing the river

pushed us past

Bear Rock.

I can't tell from here

how far we need

to backtrack.

Stella, can you take

a look around?

Bear Rock looks like...

well, a giant bear.

You don't say.

Back in a flash, fellas.

I see it! I see it!

I'm going over.

(Gasps) Boris...

Boris!

Where are you?

It's there. I saw it. The plane.

No sign of Boris.

Come on, let's go.

Through moose territory?

(Luc whimpering)

Luc says we're doomed

if we meet one

of those bull moose.

The faster we go in,

the faster we come out.

Come on.

(Muc) You know, they

only have two moods -

angry and very angry.

Move those buns, fellas.

(Balto) No.

(Muc) Uncle Boris.

(Gasps)

(Growling)

Look, we don't

want any trouble.

We're just

passing through.

You talkin' to me?

Our friend down

there might be hurt.

You talkin' to me?

We just wanna get by.

I just wanna know if

you're talkin' to me.

Here's a newsflash,

genius.

We're talking to you!

(Growling)

Whoa, whoa,

buddy, please.

This is an emergency.

We don't want

any trouble.

I think you're talkin' to me.

Now he gets it.

(Both screaming)

Pull, Luc. Pull harder.

You talkin' to me?

No. Course not.

Just talking amongst ourselves.

I think you're talkin' to me.

(Shrieking)

(Growling)

Ooh!

(Groans)

Balto, talk to me, honey.

Come on, sugar.

This isn't a good time

for a snooze.

(Shrieking)

Hey, lamebrain!

(Growling)

You're standin'

on my turf.

You talkin' to me?

Am I here to amuse you?

You see any other

lamebrain moose here?

Yeah. I'm lookin' at one.

(Thunderous crashing)

(Sniffing)

He's alive.

Boris?

Where are you?

Maybe he wasn't

on the plane after all.

But I could swear he...

(Gasps)

Boris? Can you hear us?

Uncle Boris! Uncle Boris!

(Stella) Flyboy?

(Sniffing)

(Gibbering)

Luc says he's found him.

(Hissing)

(Deflated honk)

No!

Boris. Boris.

Come on. Wake up.

Come on, big boy.

Don't you give up!

You owe me an apology!

What...? What...

What am I doing here?

Uncle Boris.

(Laughing gleefully)

What? What?

All right, already.

I almost die once.

It was enough.

Easy does it, Luc.

(Sighing)

Oh, the plane.

It was terrible.

Ahhh...

(Giggles)

We'd better get him home.

What about the pilot?

Duke! You guys go on ahead.

But what about you?

It's getting cold out.

I'll be fine. Just

take care of Boris.

Come on, we're going to

take Uncle Boris home.

(Groans)

Balto?

What are you

doing here? How...?

How did you know?

(Groans)

Darn leg.

Guess I won't be

walking back to Nome.

(Grunts)

(Grunting)

(Cracking and rumbling)

No!

Hang in there, boy.

(Grunting)

(Rope creaking)

(Dogs howling)

Now what?

Oh!

Kodi?

We heard you had

a special delivery for Nome.

(Howling)

Right on time, son.

(Dipsy) Whoo! It is cold,

cold, cold, huh?

I don't know. Balto's

been gone a while.

Eight hours,

and counting.

Don't count him out.

(Howling)

(Howls)

(Howls)

(All howling)

(Howls)

(Barking)

Kodi.

(Man) I don't believe it!

(Woman) Hallelujah!

(Excited chatter)

Balto saved my life.

He and the other dogs.

Good dogs.

Good boy, Balto.

That's my team.

(Woman) I can't believe it!

(Chatter)

I knew he could do it.

I lost my appetite.

(Boris) I still am not believing

you came looking for me.

Is it maybe because

you still like me?

Maybe.

Or maybe it's because

I had a few more things

to get off my chest.

I forgot to say

you were a rotten, lying,

good-for-nothing snow goose.

Wait, wait! Stella!

Bye, Boris.

It's been an education.

No, Stella, come back!

Do not go. Please. Stella!

Stella-a-a-a!

Now, that's more like it.

I... Well...

The truth is I am

a low-altitude flyer.

What are you talking about?

I hate heights.

That is why I lied to you.

That was the problem?

It wasn't me?

You?

What could be wrong with you?

You are perfect.

So you did notice.

Now, let me get this straight.

All this fuss was because

you don't like to fly?

No matter what I answer, I sound foolish.

Well, the way I see it,

having a grounded goose for a boyfriend

sure beats having a lying,

cheating, double-talking,

no good, high-flying,

fair-weather fowl...

Did you say boyfriend?

Among other things.

Stella...

Would you do me

the honor of joining me

for a little midnight swim?

Swimming at midnight?

I like it already.

(Geese honking)

(Chuckles) Did Dad

tell you when he saw

you leading the others

it was one of the proudest

moments of his life?

Yeah, well, not

in so many words

but I got it.

Hey. Hey, there he is!

(Airplane approaching)

Living out a dream.

Nothing like it, huh, boy?

The wind across the water

A cloud across the skies
