Quote #7
MUNTZ: You know Carl, these people who pass through here, they all tell pretty good stories. A surveyor making a map... A botanist cataloging plants... An old man taking his house to Paradise Falls. That's the best one yet. I can't wait to hear how it ends.
To say that Muntz’s motivations for exploration are far more sinister than Carl’s would be an understatement, don’t you think? We’re pretty sure Muntz bumped off the surveyor. And the botanist.
Quote #8
RUSSELL: My dad made it sound so easy. He’s really good at camping, and how to make fire from rocks and stuff. He used to come to all my Sweat Lodge meetings, and afterwards, we’d go get ice cream at Fentons. I always get chocolate, and he gets butter brickle. Then we sit on this one curb right outside, and I’ll count all the blue cars, and he counts all the red ones, and whoever gets the most wins. I like that curb. That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.
Russell knows what’s up. More than any other quote, this one sums up Up’s stance on exploration. The greatest adventures can be found in the most ordinary places, like on a curb in front of an ice cream parlor.
