CARL: We’re on our way, Ellie.

CARL: Now when you get up there, go ahead and hoist me up. Got it?

[Russell struggles to climb up.]

CARL: You on the porch yet?

[A scene change shows that Russell has climbed an inch.]

CARL: What? That's it? I came all this way just to get stuck in the wrong end of this rock pile?

RUSSELL: Hey… If I could assist you over there, would you sign off on my badge?

CARL: What are you talking about?

Russell: We could walk your house to the falls.

CARL: Walk it?

RUSSELL: Yeah! After all, we weight it down. We could walk it right over there, like a parade balloon.
