- Aleu: I knew there was something wrong with me.
- Balto: There is nothing wrong with you. You have a proud heritage.
- Aleu: Oh, sure.
- Balto: Your mother is a pure-bred husky.
- Aleu: Then what are you?
- Balto: I-I'm the one who's part wolf.
- Aleu: How could this happen?
- Balto: Look. Aleu. My dad was a husky who... had pups with a wolf.
- Aleu: Great. My grandmother was a wild animal? Did the wolf teach you how to know when a human wants to kill you?
- Balto: I was accidentally separated from her when I was young, so I never spent much time with... the wolf. I remember that she was as white as snow, and 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.
- Aleu: Why didn't you tell me this before?
- Balto: Because I wanted to protect you.
- Aleu: Protect me? From what? From the fact that no human will ever want me because I'm part wild animal?
- Balto: Aleu.
- Aleu: And what about my brothers and sisters? They've got wolf in them, too. Why did humans want them?
- Balto: Because they don't look it,
- [sighs]
- Balto: and you do.
- Aleu: It's not fair. I hate you!
- [jumps off the boat crying]
- Balto: Aleu? Aleu, come back!
- Aleu: Leave me alone!
- [runs away crying]
- Balto: Where are you?
- Fox: Where are you?
- Balto: Here. Keep talking and I'll find you.
- Aniu: A cunning trickster.
- Fox: You look disappointed.
- Balto: Sorry. Just thought you might be a raven.
- Fox: 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.
- Balto: How did you know I was looking for my daughter?
- Fox: The raven told me.
- Balto: What do you know about the raven?
- Fox: Much less than you, I'm sure. Now do we have a deal, or don't we?
- Balto: Yes. But no tricks.
- [takes rope off fox]
- Balto: There. How can you help me find my daughter?
- Fox: Easy. By giving you a little push.
- [pushes Balto into the water]
- Balto: Ahhhhh!
- [surfaces]
- Balto: Why did you do that? Help me!
- Fox: Oh, but I did. And now you must help yourself.
- Balto: [goes underwater, then surfaces again] Are you crazy? The current is too strong!
- Fox: Then let the current take you!
- Aleu: I know who I am. I am Aleu, daughter of Balto and Jenna, who happens to be a pure-bred husky. Who are you?
- Balto: Jenna.
- Jenna: Balto, what are you doing here so early? Is Aleu alright?
- Balto: I don't know. I was hoping she was with you. She's... kinda mad at me.
- Jenna: Stay there.
- [runs outside]
- Jenna: Now tell me what happened.
- Balto: [hops down from stack of crates] A hunter took aim at her.
- Jenna: [gasps]
- Balto: No, no. Don't worry. We got away. But I... finally had to tell her how humans see her.
- Jenna: You mean you told her about being part...?
- Balto: Yes. I should've done it sooner. I know that now. She's so angry with me. She must've run away.
- Jenna: Run away?
- Balto: I'm sorry, Jenna. I never thought it would turn out this way. I thought I could keep her safe.
- Jenna: B-B-But she's not safe, she's running wild!
- [starts to follow]
- Balto: No, not you, Jenna. This is my fault, and it's something Aleu and I have to work out together. Don't worry. I'll find her.
- Muru: [singing] Praise for the high tide./ Praise for the seaside./ Praise for the sun at high noon./ Praise for the lightning./ Praise for the singing./ Praise the father sun, and sister moon./ Praise for the red dawn./ Grass that we walk upon./ Praise for the river's whispered tune./ Praise for the wind brother./ Praise for the earth mother./ Praise the father sun,and sister moon./ Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya./
- [Aleu howls; howling continues]
- Muru: Hey-ya, hey-ya, hey-ya.
- Balto: This has gone too far, Aleu, and it isn't our battle.
- Aleu: But papa, I saw caribou!
- Balto: Look, this could get very dangerous. Despite my dreams or anything else, I will not put you in any danger.
- Aleu: But this isn't just about us anymore, papa. This is about something bigger. Don't you see? We're supposed to help them. I'm sorry, but whether I stay or go should be my decision.
- Balto: That wind is a sign that winter's coming early. Your mother will be worried sick. We both leave in the morning.
- Jenna: But it's their time now. Why, I was their age when I was adopted by my girl.
- Balto: But I don't think I can let them go, Jenna. Not yet.
- Jenna: Balto, each of our children have their own lives to live. It's our job to love them, and then...
- Boris: [in the background] LET GO!
- Jenna: If we wait any longer, it will be harder for them to find homes. You know how humans have a soft spot for puppies.
- Balto: Yeah. And so do I.
- Jenna: What do you mean he just ran off?
- Boris: I mean he's got Aleu scent, told me to tell you not to worry and away he went. He's a wolf on a mission.
- Jenna: I'm going to help him look.
- [as Jenna walks to the door Boris steps in front of her]
- Boris: No, Jen! This is a journey for father and daughter. You must have faith in them.
- Jenna: You're sure Balto as her trail?
- [Boris nods]
- Jenna: And you're sure Balto's alright?
- Boris: Don't worry Jenna. Remember, they're are well-equipped. They are both... part... wolf.
- Balto: Come on, being different is painful. Nobody knows that better than me. You know how some of the dogs around here still tease me because I'm half wolf?
- Terrier: There you are, laddies! I've been sniffin' all over for ye! The stork has landed. I repeat, the stork has landed!
- Balto: Jenna? Jenna!
- [runs toward the building Jenna's in]
- Boris: What stork? I thought we were talking about raven.
- [sudenly realizes]
- Boris: Oh boy, *that* stork. I'm coming, Balto!
- "Taking You Home" singer: Somebody wants you, somebody needs you./ Someone is searching for your heart alone./ Someone is dreaming, waiting and watching./ Someone is coming to take you home./ Time, it will fly like the sun through the sky./ And what once was hello turns to goodbye./ Tomorrow is here now, sings in your ear now./ Child of my heart, your life is your own./ Never you fear, now./ Your path is clear now./ Someone who loves you/ Someone who loves you... is taking you home.
- Wolverine 2: Stop following the raven.
- Wolverine 1, Wolverine 2, Wolverine 3: [vanishing into thin air] Don't go!
- Balto: It's almost like they were... never there.
- Aleu: I don't understand papa, why did you attack him, what if he wanted to adopt me.
- Balto: Err, guys, could you help me out here?
- Muc: Oh of course err
- [Muk gets pushed by luk]
- Muc: Sorry mate but a wise polar bear always minds his own business.
- Boris: [Clears throat] It is my opinion that...
- [gets dragged away by Luk]
- Boris: Ahhh!
- Aleu: Well?
- Balto: Okay, see, that hunter, was looking for wild animals to kill, for food and fur.
- Aleu: So, I'm not a wild animal.
- Balto: Well, He thought you were.
- Aleu: What, why?
- Balto: He thought you were a wolf.
- Boris: BALTO! WAKE UP!
- [Throws bucket of water on Balto to wake him up]
- Balto: Huh? What? What? What's the matter?
- Boris: The matter is, you are having dream again.
- [Balto shakes water all over Boris. Boris yells]
- Boris: AHHH!
- Balto: So what if I was, it's just a dream.
- Boris: Hah! This "just a dream" is keeping you from a decent sleep! And if your eyes get any droopier, you will have to keep them open with toothpicks!
- [Sticks his "finger" under Balto's eyelid to emphasize his point]
- Balto: Boris, they'll stop drooping if you just go away and let me get some rest.
- Boris: Wrong! You won't be getting any rest, not with that dream hanging 'round like... dark cloud.
- [Sticks his wings over his head]
- Balto: I hate it when you get dramatic.
- Boris: How else to reach you? I'm telling you, boitshick, if you keep having same dream again and again, it MEANS SOMETHING.
- Balto: Boris, dreams don't mean anything there just
- [yawns]
- Balto: dreams. now, do you wanna come with me? I have to go check on Jenna.
- Boris: Of course I come. I'm not finished nagging you yet!
- Balto: I sure would like to know why I keep seeing that raven.
- Aleu: You're been following a raven.
- Balto: Yeah, I know it sounds dumb, I've been seeing this raven in my dreams.
- Aleu: You're dreams?
- Balto: I only followed it because it promised to help me find you.
- Aleu: I've been seeing a raven too, I wasn't sure if I was following it, or if it was following me.
- Balto: Boris took me in and, after being raised by a goose it's a wonder I don't honk instead of bark.
