Quote #4
CARL: I think that did the trick.
[Carl looks to his left and sees Dug]
DUG: Hi, Master.
CARL: Afternoon.
[Carl turns to his right and Kevin squawks in his ear]
Here’s the thing: Carl may want to fly solo, but his companions aren’t about to let him lug that house to Paradise Falls alone. He’s surrounded by people and other creatures that want nothing more than to connect. In other words, Carl may not know what’s good for him, but his buddies sure do.
Quote #5
RUSSELL: Can I tell you a secret?
CARL: No.
RUSSELL: All right, here goes. I never actually built a tent before. There, I said it.
CARL: You’ve been camping before, haven’t you?
RUSSELL: Well, never outside.
CARL: Well, why didn’t you ask your dad how to build a tent? Why don’t you try him sometime? Maybe he’ll surprise you.
RUSSELL: Well, he’s away a lot. I don’t see him much.
CARL: He’s gotta be home sometime.
RUSSELL: Well, I call, but—Phyllis told me I bug him too much.
CARL: Phyllis? You call your own mother by her first name?
RUSSELL: Phyllis isn’t my mom.
CARL: Oh.
Carl is isolated by choice. Russell? Not so much. His heart-to-heart with Russell shows that his dad and stepmom—ugh, Phyllis—don’t want much to do with him.
Quote #6
MUNTZ: Having guests is a delight. More often, I get thieves, come to steal what’s rightfully mine.
CARL: No…
MUNTZ: They called me a fraud, those… ah. But once I bring back this creature, my name will be cleared.
Just like Carl, Muntz is in his own self-created exile. But unlike Carl, Muntz is motivated by pride and a maniacal lust for glory.
