    Steele: We don't need your help.

    Star: Maybe we should listen to Balto.

    [Steele glares at Star; Star cringes and shuts his mouth]

    Nikki: Well... how would you's get us home?

    Balto: I marked the trail. Like this.

    [scratches a tree; Steele knocks it down]

    Steele: *I'll* get us back. *I'm* the lead dog! *I'm* in charge!

    Balto: Then let me just take back the medicine. The children are getting sicker.

    [looks at the crate on the sled]

    Steele: Touch that box, and I'll tear you apart.

    Balto: Steele! I'm not leaving without that medicine.

    [holding his ground; tries to help with the medicine]

    Steele: Who do you think you are?

    Balto: Since when do you need a pedigree to help someone?

    [pause]

    Balto: Let me help you.

    Steele: [minutes later, as Steele watches Balto and the team head toward Nome] Go ahead wolf-dog! You'll never get home! I'll make sure of that!

  • Star: [Balto has stopped, and is looking at the marked trees; he detects Steele's scent on some of them] Which way, Balto? Which way?

    Balto: [looks around desperately] Uh, this way.

    [continues leading the team through the forest; sees Steele's scratch-marks on every tree]

    Balto: No, it can't be!

    Kaltag: Why are you taking us in circles?

    Balto: I'm not! I mean... I don't know!

    [gesturing toward the marked trees]

    Balto: It's Steele!

    Nikki: [referring to Steele] Maybe we was better off with him.

    Balto: No! Come on! Mush!

    [starts running, going a little too fast]

    Star: Balto! Slow down! Please!

  • Doc: [after listening to the telegraph office dog barking] It's terrible, my friends, just terrible. Steele and his team are lost.

    Sled dog #1: When?

    Sled dog #2: What happened?

    Sled dog #3: What do you mean, lost?

    Doc: They've missed their second checkpoint. They're off the trail.

    [the other dogs lower their heads, saddened by the news]

    Wild Joe: Can't they send another team?

    Doc: It's too dangerous.

    Chester: But... what about the little ones?

    Doc: The medicine won't be here in time. We're going to lose them.

    Balto: [silently; looking into the building] Rosy.

  • Steele: Okay... Nikki, Kaltag, Star. Gear up. We're heading out.

    Balto: Wait a minute. Steele, I was the fastest dog out there.

    Steele: You were the fastest... what? If you think any musher in their right mind would put you on their team... well, you're even more mixed up than I thought.

    Jenna: Steele! It doesn't matter who's on the team! As long as the medicine gets through! Stop being such a glory hound!

    Steele: You're a hundred percent right, Jenna. I - I - wasn't thinking about those children. The important thing here is to get the medicine through. And that's just what I'm gonna do.

    [Aside, to Balto]

    Steele: And when I get back, I'm gonna fold you five ways and leave you for a cat toy.

  • Musher: Let's take a look at our winner here!

    [Steele stomps on Balto's foot, causing him to growl in pain, bearing his teeth]

    Musher: We can't trust him. He's part wolf. He might turn on me. Nikki, Kaltag, Star!

    [Steele smiles deviously at Balto, then walks away]

    Jenna: Balto...

    Balto: [depressed] Don't talk to me, Jenna. I might turn on you.

  • Steele: Hey goose, you a half-breed too, huh? Part turkey?

    Nikki: Good wordplay there, boss!

    Kaltag: You are the wittiest, you are the drollest, the cleverest, the sharpest, you are the most hilariousest!

    [gets bonked on the head by Kaltag]

    Star: Ha, ha ha ha ha! Whoopee!

    [falls down dizzily]

    Balto: Steele, just leave him out of this.

    Nikki: [in the background] Woah-hoah-hoah! Oh yeah.

    Steele: Oh, Balto.

    [slaps Balto twice with his tail as he turns]

    Steele: I've got a message for your mother.

    [walks over to Nikki, Kaltag, and Star]

    Steele: Get out of here, wolfdog. You better get back to your own pack!

    [spits on Balto]

    Boris: Maybe it's just fear talking, but I am seeing wisdom in this advice. Maybe we go now, huh? Now!

    [Steele and the others turn around and kick snow at Balto as Boris pushes him away]

    Steele: Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!

    Kaltag: I think that Balto's friend has got his feathers ruffled.

    Star: Feathers! Goose! I get it! Ah ha ha ha!

    Star: He hit him!

  • Boris: Balto! I do not like leaving you out here alone. Who's going to tell you how cold you are?

    Balto: Boris, they need you even more than I do.

    [Boris begins walking away and then stops]

    Boris: Let me tell you something, Balto. A dog... cannot make this journey alone but... maybe a wolf can.

  • Balto: Home sick Boris?, Do you ever think about going back?

    Boris: Dont fret my dog, I'm stinking here until I'm sure you can stand on your own four feet.

    Balto: Your, taking care of me?

    Boris: Dont thank me.

    Balto: I smell... Heron.

    Boris: The heron are flying south too?

    Balto: Hey, must be Muk and Luk.

    Boris: Hu-uh Good news?

    Luk: Uncle Boris!

    Balto: Oh no.

    Balto: How sweet, Uncle Boris.

  • Boris: Balto. Racing in a spectator sport, it requires very little preparation! You sit, you arrange refreshments.

    [Grabs a box and takes out a white flake]

    Boris: You like potato chip?

    [Eats it, then a bubble comes out his mouth. He reads the label on the box... Soap Flakes]

    Balto: I'm not watching the race... I'm running it.

    Boris: [Splutters] You said what?

    Balto: Hey, look I wanna help Rosy get better. I can get that medicine through.

    Boris: First of all, get it through your head that they wouldn't put you in a sled team even if you did win, which won't happen and if it did it wouldn't matter!

    Balto: Boris, did 'ya ever think maybe you're the reason the other geese fly south?

    Boris: [Miffed] If only your feet were as fast as your mouth.

    Balto: Hey, they're starting, Wish me luck!

    Boris: Luck? I don't wish you luck, I wish you SENSE!

    [Balto leaves. After Boris pauses, quietly]

    Boris: Good luck, kiddo.

  • Balto: [shortly after Luk and Muk save him from drowning] You two guys oughta learn how to swim someday.

    [hintingly]

    Balto: You'd be very good at it.

    [Luk and Muk are incredulous; Luk makes swimming gestures in a questioning manner]

    Muk: Well, of course we were! We were in the water, we were moving, we got wet, didn't we...?

    [suddenly realizes]

    Muk: Luk, we were swimming!

    [Balto laughs heartily]

  • Jenna: [Jenna falls in the snow because she is hurt] Ahh! Clumsy.

    Balto: No, you're not. You're hurt.

    Jenna: I'm fine.

    [Jenna gets back up but falls in the snow again]

    Jenna: Ahh! Maybe I'm not so fine. You should go ahead without me.

    Balto: Jenna...

    Jenna: No no I'll be slowing everyone down. Rosy can't hold out much longer.

    Jenna: Muk, you and Luk carry Jenna back to town on this.

    [Balto gets a branch fallen off a tree]

    Boris: And this time don't take tome out for a swim!

    [Boris giggles]

    Balto: You can make sure of that, Boris. You're gonna lead them home.

    [to Jenna]

    Balto: Just follow my marks.

    Jenna: You're going all alone?

    Balto: Won't be the first time.

    Jenna: Here.

    [Jenna takes off her bandana and puts it on Balto]

    Jenna: Afraid it won't keep you very warm.

    Balto: Yeah, it will.

    [Balto and Jenna muzzle each other]

    Muk: [Luk starts to cry] Well, of course Balto will come back. He's Balto isn't he?

    Balto: Hey! I'm coming back, with the medicine. I promise, Jenna. Go ahead, guys. Take her home.

    [Balto starts walking off but Boris stops him]

    Boris: Balto, I do not like leaving you out here alone. Who's going to tell you how cold you are?

    Balto: Boris.

    [Balto shoves Boris to look at the others]

    Balto: They need you even more then I do.

    Boris: Let me tell you something, Balto. A dog cannot make this journey alone. But maybe a wolf can.

  • Balto: Balto: "Maybe it's because your looking at the bowl half-empty. See this it's the polar ice caps."
