Quote #7
RUSSELL: You gave away Kevin. You just... gave her away.
CARL: This is none of my concern. I didn’t ask for any of this!
DUG: Master, it's alright.
Not only did Carl not ask for any of this—and by “this” we mean loyal friends—but he continually goes out of his way to ditch Russell, Kevin, and Dug. Still, the old guy’s going to get companionship whether he wants it or not.
Quote #8
CARL: I am not your master! And if you hadn’t have shown up, none of this would have happened! Bad dog! Bad dog! Now, whether you assist me or not, I am going to Paradise Falls, if it kills me.
As Carl’s admonishment of Dug shows, he remains dogged (no pun intended) in his pursuit of doing things his way and going it alone. Dude’s got a serious chip on his shoulder. And a house on a rope.
