• Morse : That mutt! Tracking a championship team in a blizzard!

• 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.
