Quotes 

• [translating for Muk] 

  Luk : Oh the shame of the polar bear who fears the water. No wonder we are shunned by our fellow bear. Woe is us. It's what he said, rather pathetic really.

• Luk : Help. Help. We can't swim. Help, help. We're drowning, we're drowning. Save us.

  Boris : Bears? Fellas? IDIOT BALLS OF FLUFF?

  Balto : Easy, Boris. You know how they are.

  [to Muk and Luk, who are thrashing and yelling in the water] 

  Balto : Muk. Luk. Relax. Come on you're OK you're not drowning.

  [to Muk and Luk whose yells and thrashes have subsided] 

  Boris : [with Russian accent]  He has point bears. You are not drowning because; if you had thought for a moment you will observe, perhaps: TIDE IS OUT.

  [stomps away, annoyed] 

• 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.

• Boris : [watching Balto scratch a tree]  Good work, Balto. You took on the biggest, meanest tree in whole forest, and you won.

  Balto : I'm marking the trail.

  Luk : [to Muk]  He's marking our trail. That's very clever.

  Boris : And here I was leaving bread crumbs.

• Luk : Well, of course. We were in the water, we were moving, we got wet and... Muk. WE WERE SWIMMING!

• Luk : [walking on a snowfield]  I spy with my little eye something beginning with S.

• Balto : I smell

  [sniffs the air] 

  Balto : herring.

  Boris : The herring are flying south too?

  Balto : Hey, it must be Muk and Luk!

  Boris : Good news.

  Luk : [continually]  Uncle Boris!

  Boris : Oh no.

  Balto : How sweet. Uncle Boris.

• 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.
