"adventure is out there!" well, you're a man of good taste! you must be tired. hungry? attention everyone! these people are no longer intruders. they are our guests. i'm sorry about the dogs -- hope they weren't too rough on you. go ahead and moor your airship right next to mine. oh. would you like to? most of the collection is housed in the world's top museums: new york, munich, london. `course i kept the best for myself. oh yes, the arsinoitherium. beast charged while i was brushing my teeth. used my shaving kit to bring him down. a dog approaches carrying a menu. muntz waves it off. oh, surprise me. only way to get it out of ethiopia at the time was to have it declared as "dental equipment!" muntz laughs. behind him, a dog can't resist gnawing at one of the bones. oh, you recognize it? i'm impressed! that's an interesting story there. hm, excellent choice. i found it on safari with roosevelt. two dogs work together to remove the cork from the bottle. pop! they sloppily pour two glasses. he and i fell into a habit of playing gin rummy in the evenings. and did he cheat? oh, he was horrible! oh dear, broken translator. it's that loose wire again. there you go big fella. well, dinner is served! right this way. so how are things stateside? almost tempted to go back a few times, but i have unfinished work here. please. dogs pull back chairs for them. they sit. dog waiters place napkins on their laps. i hope you're hungry because epsilon is the finest chef i've ever had. dogs bring out covered plates, look at each other, and remove the silver plate covers at the same time. the meals look delicious. oh, epsilon, you've done it again! i'm honored. and now you've made it! no no! it's a pleasure to have guests -- a real treat. no no, quiet! calm down. calm down. in the excitement a dog swipes the rest of russell's hot dog. they called me a fraud, those. dah! but once i bring back this creature, my name will be cleared. the lantern illuminates photographs, drawings, samples, feathers. hundreds of them. all of the bird. kevin. beautiful, isn't it? i've spent a lifetime tracking it. sometimes years go by between sightings. and here they come, these bandits, and think the bird is theirs to take! but they soon find that this mountain is a very dangerous place. "kevin?" follow you? impossible. how? chocolate? you know, carl. these people who pass through here, they all tell pretty good stories. a "surveyor" making a map. using his cane, muntz topples a helmet from the table. it rolls across the floor. a "botanist" cataloguing plants. an old man taking his house to paradise falls. that's the best one yet. i can't wait to hear how it ends. carl glances around nervously. oh, you're not leaving? no, the boy's right. you haven't had dessert. epsilon here makes a delicious cherries jubilee. oh, you really must stay. i insist! we have so much more to talk about! it's here. he turns back to carl. but they're gone. get them! you lost them? wait. wait a minute. dug. get away from my bird! careful. we want her in good shape for my return. and they wouldn't believe me. just wait till they get a look at you. what? where's your elderly friend? well, if you're here, fredricksen can't be far behind. alpha! fredricksen's coming back. guard that bird. if you see the old man, you know what to do. nice talking with you. where are you, fredricksen? what? calm down! one at a time! does anyone know where they are?!?! grey leader! take down the house! any last words, fredricksen? come on, spit it out! carl spits his false teeth at muntz. he falls backwards. enough! i'm taking that bird back with me alive or dead! carl trips and falls to the floor. muntz is about to deal the final blow.
