Old Man Fight Club
- Muntz swings and slashes at Carl, who fends off the deranged explorer with his trusty cane. Their backs crack and their joints pop.
- When Muntz asks Carl if he has any last words, Carl spits his dentures in Muntz’s face, momentarily stunning him. There’s nothing quite like an old man fight.
- Carl and Muntz continue thrashing around the room, and just when it looks like lights out for Carl, we cut to Dug at the helm of the airship.
- As the dog pack closes in on him, Dug backs away, accidentally hitting the steering column with his butt. The airship lists, and Carl and Kevin escape through a window.
- Back at the helm, Dug and the dogs fight. Dug hides behind the steering wheel; Alpha pokes his head through the spokes, yapping at Dug.
- Dug spots the Cone of Shame resting nearby and nudges it up to the wheel. Alpha puts his head right through it, discombobulating his collar.
- With his voice set back to Chipmunk mode and wearing the Cone of Shame, the pack laughs off Alpha’s commands to apprehend Dug.
- Dug orders Alpha to sit, and he does. The dog pack dubs Dug their new Alpha. Dug protests for a second. He’s not Alpha, he’s Du—then he gets it. Atta boy, Dug!
- Outside, Russell clings to the cord for dear life, dangling off of Carl’s house, as the dart-shooting dogfighters continue their assault.
- Muntz pursues Carl and Kevin up the exterior of Muntz’s airship via ladder. Carl yells the Wilderness Explorers’ motto, or part of it anyway—the “Ca-Caw! Rawr!” part—and that sends Russell into high gear.
- Russell climbs up the cord onto the front porch of Carl’s house and tells the dogfighting pilots that there’s a squirrel below.
- Thoroughly distracted, the dogs crash into one another, destroying their planes, and are forced to evacuate.
- Back on Muntz’s airship, Carl continues to fight off Muntz. He kicks Muntz down the ladder, giving him and Kevin just enough time to make it to the top of the ship. Dug pops out of an air vent, and Russell steers Carl’s house over so they can escape.
- Just as it looks like they’re about to get away, Muntz shows up on the roof with a shotgun and starts taking out the house’s balloons. Kevin and Dug scramble inside Carl’s house, then the house starts to slide off the roof.
- Carl chases down the house’s cord, and stops the house from sliding off the roof. He orders Russell to get out of the house and back onto Muntz’s airship, but Muntz starts shooting at the house itself. Russell hides inside with the frightened animals.
- Just as Muntz breaks down the front door, Carl has an idea. He pulls a chocolate bar from his pocket and tells Russell to grab onto his animal pals. Then he uses the candy to lure Kevin outside.
- Kevin busts through the living room window, Russell and Dug in tow. The cord snaps free from the house.
- Muntz chases after Russell, Kevin, and Dug, but catches his foot on some balloon strings and stumbles. He hurtles off the airship toward the ground below. That’s going to leave a mark.
- Carl pulls the cord back onto the airship and is relieved to find Russell, Kevin, and Dug are still holding onto the end. Carl’s house floats away.
- Russell gives Carl his condolences over the escaped house as they watch it disappear into the clouds. “It’s just a house,” Carl says.
