How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Up.
Quote #1
RUSSELL: Hi, Mr. Fredricksen! It's me, Russell! I found the snipe, and I followed it under your porch, but this snipe had a long tail, and looked more like a large mouse. Please let me in.
CARL: No. [Carl slams the door shut; Russell waits; Carl opens the door again]
CARL: Oh, all right.
It’s important to note that, at this point, Carl’s house is already airborne. Still, he initially resists letting Russell inside before the kid blows away. Slamming doors is his default mode.
Quote #2
CARL: Hey, let's play a game. It's called "See Who Can Be Quiet the Longest".
RUSSELL: Cool! My mom loves that game!
If you have siblings, you’ve probably played this game before. And, if you have older brothers and sisters, you probably lost. On purpose. Carl’s not used to the sounds of other people, particularly chatterboxes like Russell.
Quote #3
CARL: I am nobody's master, got it? [to Kevin and Dug] I don't want you here, and I don't want you here!
CARL: [to Russell] I'm stuck with you, but if you two don't clear out of here by the time I count to three...
DUG: A ball! Oh, boy! Oh, boy! A ball!
CARL: Ball? You want it, boy?
DUG: Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
CARL: Huh? Huh? Yeah? Yeah?
DUG: Yes, I do! I do so ever want the ball!
CARL: Go get it!
DUG: Oh, boy! Oh, boy! I will go get it and then bring it back!
CARL: Quick, Russell, give me some chocolate.
RUSSELL: Why?
CARL: Just give it to me! Bird. Bird!
[Carl chucks the chocolate, and Kevin runs after it]
Is Carl impressed by a giant, exotic bird and a talking dog? Hardly. Carl just wants to be left alone.
