• Bolt : [about saving Mittens]  I can't do it.

  Rhino : [shocked]  Wha... What did you say?

  Bolt : I can't.

  Rhino : What... Wha... wha... Who are you?

  Bolt : Rhino, you just... just don't understand.

  Rhino : You are Bolt!

  Bolt : But I'm not...

  Rhino : Who singlehandedly destroyed the Green-Eyed Man's undersea labs?

  Bolt : Me, but...

  Rhino : Yeah! And who foiled his plan to infiltrate the Olympics with gymnastics cyborgs? Who, Bolt, who? Who?

  Bolt : Me! But none of it was...

  Rhino : You! You CAN, Bolt, because all over this planet, there are animals who feel like they can't. Like a little hamster who once spent his days in an RV park, dreaming of the day when he, too, would save a little girl from danger and be told: "You did it. You did it, Rhino! You saved the day." They need a hero, Bolt! Someone who, no matter what the odds, will do what's right. They need a hero to tell them that sometimes the impossible can become possible... if... you're... awesome!

• Bolt : What is this red liquid coming from my paw?

  Mittens : It's called blood, hero!

  Bolt : Do I need it?

  Mittens : Yes, so if you want to keep it inside your body, where it belongs, you should stop jumping off trucks doing eighty on the interstate!

• Bolt : [Bolt and Rhino have gone searching for Mittens in an Animal Shelter. Bolt locates her in a cage in the back]  Mittens?

  Mittens : [turns around]  Bolt? Wh - wha - what are you doing here?

  Bolt : I'm busting you out.

  Mittens : You - you came all the way back here... for me?

  Bolt : Yeah.

  Mittens : But how'd you...? I mean... You don't have any superpowers!

  Bolt : I know.

  Mittens : Really?

  Bolt : Yeah.

  Mittens : Wow. Crazy day for ya, huh?

  Bolt : It's been a lot, yes, it has.

  [pauses, looks up] 

  Bolt : Are you ready for this?

  Mittens : No.

  Bolt : Me neither.

  [opens her cage] 

• Bolt : Well, you're right about one thing, Rhino. Mittens does need a hero, and I guess I'll have to do.

  Rhino : Such modesty! Now, who's going to save the cat?

  Bolt : Me.

  Rhino : Who? Tell me who!

  Bolt : Me.

  Rhino : [laughs delighted]  I'll get my ball.

• Rhino : [after seeing UFOs in an episode of "Bolt"]  That is totally unrealistic.

  Bolt : Absolutely ridonculous.

  Mittens : You can say that again.

• Bolt : [Looks around corner into an office at the animal shelter]  There's a guard.

  Rhino : [Starts walking into room]  I'll snap his neck.

• Bolt : [Attempting to distract Mittens]  That's a weird place to put a piano.

• Bolt : Okay. So what we do here is we give the target a quick flyover, we adjust the trajectory, and then land dead center. Am I missing anything, Rhino?

  Rhino : Just the knowledge that every minute spent in your company becomes the new greatest minute of my life!

• Bolt : Hmm... padlock.

  [stares intensely at the lock while Mittens tries to get away] 

  Mittens : Listen Cujo, I got some pretty wicked claws under these mitts, do not, I beg of you, do not make me bring out these bad boys! It gets ugly!

  [Bolt continues to stare at the padlock] 

  Mittens : What are you doing?

  Bolt : Stay back! If I stare at the lock really hard, it'll burst into flames and melt.

  [Mittens stares at him for a second] 

  Mittens : Now I'm concerned on a number of levels.

• Louie : Mark my words, Mittens. One day, someone's gonna stand up to you! Someone's gonna teach you a lesson!

  [flies off] 

  Mittens : Yeah, I'm really scared now-

  [Bolt jumps in and pins her to a garbage can] 

  Bolt : You should be!

  Mittens : Aaah! Okay! You...!

  Bolt : Where is she?

  Mittens : Aaah... Who?

  Bolt : You know why I'm here!

  Mittens : Aaahhh...

  Bolt : Where is she?

  Mittens : Okay, okay! Look buddy, I- I don't know what you're getting at, but...

  [she looks up and sees Joey, Bobby and Vinnie laughing on a telephone wire] 

  Vinnie : Come on, Mittens. Just tell the guy where she is. Tell the dog, make him happy.

  Bobby : Yeah, yeah, come on, Mittens! Tell him!

  Mittens : [chuckles briefly]  Joey, Vinnie, Bobby, my boys! Would you tell the crazy canine that he's got the wrong cat?

  Vinnie : [pause]  You got her, pal!

  Joey : That's her!

  Vinnie : She's the one!

  Joey : That is definitely the right cat!

  [Mittens looks back at Bolt and laughs nervously] 

  Bolt : Looks like we're gonna do this the hard way.

  [cuts to Bolt hanging Mittens over a busy highway] 

  Mittens : Whoa! Aaah! You're crazy, man!

  [cuts to the pigeons, looking shocked] 

  Vinnie : Hey Joey, did we go to far on this?

  Joey : You kidding? This is the best day of my life.

• Mittens : [Bolt is leaving the studio lot after witnessing his owner working with another dog due to his absence]  Hey Wags!

  Bolt : Mittens? What are you doing here?

  Mittens : Eh, long story short I was tied to a delusional dog and dragged across the country, but that is not important. Now the real question is, what are you doing here and why aren't you in there?

  Bolt : You were right about her, Mittens, she, uh, well... it wasn't real.

  Mittens : No, Bolt, it is real, I was in there just now, I saw her face after you left. She's brokenhearted, she doesn't want just any dog, she loves you. She's your person, Bolt, and you are her dog.

• Bolt : But what do dogs do?

  Mittens : Slobber, sleep, chase tails, chew shoes... You don't exactly need a master's degree.

• Mittens : Look, genius, you're part of a TV show. You know what that is, television? It's entertainment for people. It's fake! Nothing you think is real is real!

  Bolt : That's preposterous!

  Mittens : Think about it, Bolt: since you got lost, none of your superpowers are working, are they? For the first time, you're hungry, you're bleeding... I mean, do you really think that you were born with a birthmark in the exact shape of a lighting bolt?

  Bolt : It's my mark of power, cat.

  Mittens : It's the mark of a makeup artist, dog!

  Bolt : You're ridiculous. Now get down here!

  Mittens : [ties her leash tighter to the branch she's on]  No!

  Bolt : Mittens, so help me, I will super-bark you out of that tree!

  Mittens : Yeah, go nuts. Let's see how that works out for ya.

  Bolt : You leave me no choice.

  [Barks; nothing happens] 

  Mittens : [dryly]  Oh, the super-bark. Scary, scary. Yeah, that's really, really super.

• [Bolt's stomach growls] 

  Bolt : Ah! What is that?

  Mittens : What?

  Bolt : [stomach growls again]  That! Okay, you have two seconds to tell me what you've implanted in me, cat! Poison? A parasite? Poison? Wait, I just said that, didn't I? See, I'm all discombobulated! I can't think straight!

  Mittens : [in disgust]  Oh, I don't believe this. You're hungry!

  [Bolt's stomach growls a third time] 

  Bolt : [jumps on Mittens]  Where is the antidote?

  Mittens : Okay, okay! Alright!

  [Mittens shows Bolt a trailer park] 

  Mittens : There's your antidote: food.

• Rhino : Bolt! I can be a valuable addition to your team...

  Bolt : I'm listening...

  Rhino : I'm lightning quick, I have razor-sharp reflexes. Wha! And I'm a master of stealth.

  [laughs] 

  Rhino : Plus, I'll keep the cat in check.

  [Mittens rolls her eyes] 

  Bolt : [Gets down close to Rhino's ball]  The road'll be rough.

  Rhino : [indicates]  I have a ball.

  Bolt : There's no turnin' back.

  Rhino : Guess I'll have to "roll" with the punches!

  ["surfs" his ball] 

  Bolt : Easy won't be part of the equation...

  Rhino : Promise?

  Bolt : I gotta warn ya, going into the belly of the beast - danger at every turn.

  Rhino : [getting closer]  I eat danger for breakfast!

  Bolt : You hungry?

  Rhino : [cracks neck]  Starving!

• Bolt : Are you mad? You don't know the power of Styrofoam!

• Bolt : Okay guys, but I really gotta get going.

  Blake : I know, I know you're a busy dog, but if you've got a second, we'd love to pitch you an idea for your show. Tom's better pitching, I'll let him take it from here. Tommy's got the spotlight!

  [Tom clears throat] 

  Blake : Wait for it...

  Tom : Aliens.

  Blake : Oh, snap!

  Bolt : Aliens?

  Tom : Audiences love aliens.

  Blake : Holla back!

  Tom : It'll be huge, man. Huge.

  Blake : You can't touch us!

  Bolt : Uhh... I - I love it. But I'll tell you what. If you guys can help me find Penny, that girl from the television show, well, I'd love to hear more about this aliens idea, but on the way.

  Blake : We got a nibble!

  Tom : Don't freak out. This is how you blew it with Nemo.

• Vinnie : You know, I gotta say something, if I could say something here. You look familiar. Joey, look at this guy's mug.

  Joey : Yeah, you know, I could've sworn I've seen this guy before

  Bobby : Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  Vinnie : I gotta tell ya, I never forget a face.

  Joey : He never does.

  Bobby : Oh yeah, yeah.

  Joey : Never.

  Bobby : Yeah, yeah. He's really good with the faces and such.

  Bolt : Listen, listen! The man with the green eye. Tell me what you know, birds!

  Vinnie : [pause]  I know this dog.

  Bobby : Yeah, yeah, me too!

  Vinnie : I gotta remember, it's gonna kill me. Hold on.

  [a bus stops beside them showing a poster of Bolt] 

  Vinnie : [pause]  No, I don't know. I, I, I thought I know.

  Bobby : Hey, you ever hang out down on 14th Street with a stray named Kelvin?

  Joey : Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kelvin, the Labrador.

  Bolt : What?

  Vinnie : You gotta gimme something here, cause this is redonkulous.

  Bobby : Absolutely redonkulous!

  Vinnie : Capisch redonkulous! Ya know what that means?

• Mittens : Go on, use the dog face. This is gonna be beautiful.

  Bolt : [looks confused] 

  Mittens : You know, beg.

  Bolt : [further confused] 

  Mittens : Do the dog face!

  Bolt : What? The dog face? What does that mean?

  Mittens : [sighs]  Figures, I'm tied to the one dog on Earth who doesn't know how to beg.

• Bolt : [trapped]  I can not be contained in any container!

• Rhino : So, where's Penny?

  Bolt : She was kidnapped by the Green-Eyed Man.

  Rhino : Kidnapped? This is terrible! She could be in grave...

  Bolt : Grave danger, I know. But I've captured this cat.

  Rhino : An agent of the Green-Eyed Man, I presume?

  Bolt : Oh, you presume correctly. She's taking me to Penny.

  Rhino : You - you are vile vermin! How do you sleep at night? Penny is the most wonderful person ever, and she loves Bolt, and he's awesome, and you're a monster! How dare you disrupt their relationship with your evil?

  [Jumps at Mittens] 

  Rhino : Die! Die!

  Bolt : [Restraining him]  Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

  Rhino : I can take her, Bolty! Let me at them! Die! Die!

• Bolt : I'll release you, cat, when we find Penny.

  Mittens : Excuse me? That wasn't the deal! We had a deal!

  Bolt : Your deal just expired.

  Louie : She said that to me not ten minutes ago. The irony!
