Planes

Dusty Crophopper:
I'm afraid of heights!

Roper:
That airplane needs some help. You all know that, right?

Dusty's Friends:
Yeah!

Skipper:
Dusty, you're going up against the best racers in the world.

Skipper:
It ain't how fast you fly, it's how you fly fast. You can fly a whole lot higher than you think.

Ripslinger:
Hey, look who made it. It's Rusty!

Dusty Crophopper:
Dusty. Dusty Crophopper.

Ripslinger:
Farm boy.

El Chupacabra:
We will have many adventures. We will laugh. We will cry. We will dance! Probably not with each other.

El Chupacabra:
Don't let anything distract you. She is like a sunrise after a lifetime of darkness.

Dusty Crophopper:
Or like, fresh fertilizer on a field of dying grass.

El Chupacabra:
This is not your thing, my friend.

Franz:
Danke, for representing all us little planes.

Dusty Crophopper:
But you're a car!

El Chupacabra:
Serious identity issues.

Zed:
It's really compelling underdog story. Like Old Yeller.

Ned:
That's not an underdog story!

Zed:
There's a dog in it.

Bulldog:
I owe you my life.

Dusty Crophopper:
Are you crying?

Bulldog:
I don't cry, I'm British!

Ripslinger:
You think you can beat me?

Skipper:
It means "I fly for truth". Clearly, you don't. Sparky, push me back to the hangar.

Dusty:
Uh... uh... I'm afraid of heights! (Okay?)

Chug:
But... you’re a plane.

Dusty:
I’m a crop duster. I’ve never flown over a thousand feet.

Skipper:
Are you kidding? Scared of heights and you want to race around the world?

Skipper:
[Telling Dusty the truth of his past] My first patrol as a Jolly Wrench was at Glendal Canal. My squadron was all rookies, all razor-sharp. I should know, I trained every single one of them.

[A flashback is shown of Skipper's backstory, of him flying with his squadron in WW2.]

Skipper:
It was supposed to be a routine mission; A milk run.

Lucas:
[In the flashback, spotting a Japanese battleship] Look Skipper! Enemy ship, 2:00 low, two miles! Easy pickings! What do you say?

Skipper:
[In the flashback] Negative, Jigsaw 2. Our orders are to recon and report back.

Lucas:
Come on, Skip! It will be a turkey shoot!

Other Plane:
Let's do it, Skipper!

Skipper:
Alright, let's go in for a closer look, but keep your distance!

[Skipper and his Squadron dive down towards the battleship. When they get through the clouds, it reveals that it's not just one ship; it's a whole fleet of Japanese battleships. The ships immediately all begin shooting at them.]

Lucas:
[terrified] HOLY COW! IT'S THE WHOLE ENEMY FLEET!!

Skipper:
[voiceover] It was too late to pull up.

[The squadron returns fire, but bombs hit the planes, causing many to explode.]

Skipper:
[In the flashback] Get out of there, Lucas!!

[One by one, each of the planes is shot down. On fire, they all crash into the sea...including Skipper. Hours later, the badly damaged Skipper is rescued by an American Aircraft Carrier. A medic pitty silently informs him he's the only survivor of the attack. Skipper is devastated beyond words, tears in his eyes as the flashback ends]

Skipper:
[Voiceover as flashback ends] My whole squadron... under my command.

[Dusty is shocked beyond words]

Skipper:
After that... I just couldn't bring myself to fly again. Let me ask you something, Dusty. If you knew the truth about my past, would you have asked me to train you?

[Dusty can't think of any words. He feels horribly regretful when he says the truth.]

Dusty:
[Heartbroken and truthfully] No.

Skipper:
I'm sorry, Dusty.

Announcer:
The number one crash of all time. [boom]

Chug:
Oh man.

Unknown Plane:
I'm okay. [explosion]

Announcer:
Ooh, that's gonna hurt.

Dottie:
Broken wing ribs, twisted gear, bent prop, and your main spar is cracked [pauses for 2 seconds] bad.

Silence with music playing in the background

Dottie:
It's over.

Dusty:
[Turns around 180 degrees] One mission? So much for Volo Pro Veritas.

Some silence

Skipper:
[sort of quietly] Can we get a minute alone please?
