Muntz: They called me a fraud, those...But once I bring back this creature, my name will be cleared. Beautiful, isn't it? Oh, I've spent a lifetime tracking it. Sometimes, years go by between seeings. I've tried to smoke it out of that death land where it lives. Can't go in after it. Once in, there's no way out. I lost so many dogs. Here they come those bandits who think the bird is theirs to take! But they soon found that this mountain is a very dangerous place.
Russell: Hey, that looks like Kevin!
Muntz: Kevin?
Russell: Yeah, that's my new giant pet bird! I trained it to follow us.
Muntz: Follow you? Impossible. How?
Russell: She likes chocolate.
Muntz: Chocolate?
Russell: Yeah. I gave her some of my chocolate. She goes wild about it.
Mr. Fredricksen: But it ran off. Let's go now.
Muntz: You know, Carl... these people who pass through here they all tell pretty good stories. A surveyor making a map...a botanist 1 cataloguing plants...an old man taking his house to Paradise Falls. That's the best one yet, I can't wait to hear how it ends.
