Wild Joe : I don't get it. How could Balto hope to find Steele and his team? They were off the trail.
Jenna : Well... he's tracking them.
Morse : That mutt? Tracking a championship team in a blizzard?
[laughs; a couple others join in]
Jenna : [Steele comes in] Balto?
Jenna : Steele!
Wild Joe : You're back!
Morse : We'd given you up!
Doc : Where are the others?
Steele : [bows his head] One by one they fell. Frozen, barely alive. I pulled four onto the sled and three more on my back. I walked and I walked, but it was too late. They were...
[the other dogs gasp]
Doc : What about the medicine?
Steele : I went on, dragging the medicine alone. Suddenly that wolfdog appeared. Balto demanded I let *him* take the medicine.
[turns to Jenna]
Steele : You know he just wanted so much to be a hero in your eyes.
[turns towrd the other dogs]
Steele : He grabbed the crate, but he couldn't handle it. He didn't see the patch of ice... and the cliff.
[pulls out Jenna's bandanna]
Steele : He didn't have a chance.
[shakes his head, clucking softly]
Jenna : [gasps] My bandanna!
Steele : [gets closer to Jenna] He made me promise to take care of you, Jenna.
Jenna : You're lying.
[louder]
Jenna : Steele's lying. Balto's alive. And he's coming home.
[runs out the door]
Steele : [closes his eyes and nods yes] She... just needs a little time.

Steele : I swam and I swam. It was freezing cold. And finally, I said 'Steele, you just have to gnaw your way to the surface', so I
[hears Balto's howl]
Steele : what?
Doc : It's Balto, with the medicine!
[runs outside; the other dogs except Steele walk out the door]
Steele : Okay, okay. I can explain. See, you guys weren't there, so you don't... wait... guys, wait just a second... please?
-
Star : [in disbelief; sees Balto sliding down the icy hill] Balto?
Kaltag : Balto! How did you find us?
Balto : Is anyone hurt?
Steele : Everyone
[pause]
Steele : is
[pause]
Steele : fine.
Star : Yeah, but our musher hit his head. He didn't get up.
Nikki : And he's not moving.
Balto : Alright. Follow me. I can lead you home.
Steele : We don't need your help.
Star : Maybe we should listen to Balto.
[Steele glares at Star; Star cringes and shuts his mouth]
Nikki : Well... how would you's get us home?
Balto : I marked the trail. Like this.
[scratches a tree; Steele knocks it down]
Steele : *I'll* get us back. *I'm* the lead dog! *I'm* in charge!
Balto : Then let me just take back the medicine. The children are getting sicker.
[looks at the crate on the sled]
Steele : Touch that box, and I'll tear you apart.
Balto : Steele! I'm not leaving without that medicine.
[holding his ground; tries to help with the medicine]
Steele : Who do you think you are?
Balto : Since when do you need a pedigree to help someone?
[pause]
Balto : Let me help you.
Steele : [minutes later, as Steele watches Balto and the team head toward Nome] Go ahead wolf-dog! You'll never get home! I'll make sure of that!
-
Star : [yelling, struggling to be heard over the howling wind] Steele! Maybe we should go back! We're lost!
Steele : [in Star's face] I am not lost!
Star : [stammering] Lost? Did I say lost? You didn't let me finish. See, what I wanted to say...
[Steele cuts him off]
Steele : [looks around, then finally chooses a direction and starts walking] It's... this way! Come on!
-
Steele : Okay... Nikki, Kaltag, Star. Gear up. We're heading out.
Balto : Wait a minute. Steele, I was the fastest dog out there.
Steele : You were the fastest... what? If you think any musher in their right mind would put you on their team... well, you're even more mixed up than I thought.
Jenna : Steele! It doesn't matter who's on the team! As long as the medicine gets through! Stop being such a glory hound!
Steele : You're a hundred percent right, Jenna. I - I - wasn't thinking about those children. The important thing here is to get the medicine through. And that's just what I'm gonna do.
[Aside, to Balto]
Steele : And when I get back, I'm gonna fold you five ways and leave you for a cat toy.

Boris : Maybe it's just fear talking, but I am seeing wisdom in this advice. Maybe we go now, huh? Now!
