Buried like a bone in a snowdrift, Balto never achieved the theatrical success it should have, but it's worth digging up. The film is structured on the true tale of a lead sled dog, Balto, that brought a diphtheria antitoxin to the small town of Nom… more »



[Jenna is worriedly at the window of a hospital room, observing Rosy, who is not well. Balto comes by]

Balto:
Jenna? [clears his throat and lowers his voice] Jenna.

Jenna:
[turns to Balto] Balto, hi. [turns back to the window]

Balto:
Hi. Look, uh... just a shot in the dark, but I was wondering if, I don't know, maybe you'd like to go chase a few sticks by moonlight. [chuckles, then sighs. He then notices Jenna is distracted] Jenna?

Jenna:
Rosy's in there.

Balto:
[confused; looks in the window] In a hospital? Why?

Jenna:
She feels warm, and she has a terrible cough. [turns to Balto] Balto, what's wrong with her?

Balto:
Uh, I'm not sure, but I know how to find out. Come on. [takes Jenna to the boiler room door] I have the keys to the city. [expertly disables the door's hinge and pushes the door open] After you.

Jenna:
[admires Balto's paw, very impressed] Balto!

Balto:
[laughs awkwardly] Uh... big paws kinda run in my family. At least.. uh, one side of my family. [takes Jenna into the room] Stay close.

Jenna:
[laughs nervously] No problem there. It's so gloomy down here. Not that I'm scared or anything.

Balto:
Gloomy? You kiddin'? It's the most beautiful spot in the world. Dogs travel for years just to be right here.

Jenna:
Here? I can't imagine why.

Balto:
That's 'cause you're looking at the bowl half empty. See this? [pushes broken bottles] It's the Polar Ice Caps.

Jenna:
Balto, those are broken bottles. And they're not half empty, they're all empty.

Balto:
[looks at the lamp from the grate] The sun.

Jenna:
Oh, Balto...

Balto:
And, to the north... [walks out of the way of the light, causing it to reflect off the bottles and create the illusion of the Northern Lights]

Jenna:
The Northern Lights! Oh, Balto, you're right. It's beautiful.

Balto:
[looking at Jenna] Yeah. Beautiful.
