(BELL RINGING)
WOMAN: All right. Good job. Let's strike the set.
(CREW CHATTERING)
We're gonna need a cable guard on set for that move tomorrow.
Yeah. All right.
PENNY: Good boy.
(BOLT BARKING)
Airport.
Uh-oh!
Bolt, speak.
(ALL GROANING)
- Boom mike. - We got a boom mike.
It's a boom mike.
That's sloppy.
The dog could've seen that. He could've seen that.
MINDY: Uh... Who cares if the dog sees a boom mike?
CREW: What? Who's that?
Forgive me for answering a question with a question,
but who are you?
- Mindy Parker, from the network. - Of course.
Let me ask you, Mindy from the network,
what do you see here?
Uh...
- The dog. -"The dog," she says.
Oh, Mindy. Poor, poor, Mindy.
Am I missing something?
You're missing everything, Mindy.
You see a dog.
I see an animal who believes with every fibre of his being, every fibre,
that the girl he loves is in mortal danger.
I see a depth of emotion on the face of that canine
the likes of which has never been captured on screen before!
Never, Mindy from the network!
Hmm.
We jump through hoops to make sure that Bolt believes everything is real.
It's why we don't miss marks. It's why we don't reshoot,
and it's why we most certainly do not let the dog see boom mikes!
(SIGHS)
Because, Mindy from the network,
if the dog believes it, the audience believes it.
(CREW MURMURING)
Wow. Okay.
You want reality? Here you go, chief. The show's too predictable.
The girl's in danger, the dog saves her from the creepy English guy, we get it.
There's always a happy ending.
And our focus groups tell us 18-to-35-year-olds are unhappy.
They're not happy with happy.
So maybe you should, I don't know,
spend a little less time worrying about the dog's Method acting
and more time figuring out
how to stop 20-year-olds in Topeka from changing the channel.
Because if you lose so much as half a rating point,
so help me, I will fire everyone in this room, starting with you.
How's that for real?
There. Perfect.
(BOLT SNARLING)
You saved me again, Bolt.
(HAMMER TAPPING)
(GROWLS)
It's okay. It's nothing. No more bad guys.
Do you want some food, Bolty? Are you hungry?
You got them, Bolt. No one's gonna hurt me.
Bolt, look at me. I'm fine, see?
Come here, buddy. Come here.
Go get it, Bolt. Go get it.
Yeah, that one's no fun either.
(GASPS)
Well, what do we have here?
Your old buddy, Mr Carrot.
(SQUEAKING)
(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
(SIGHS)
(WHIMPERING)
Bolt. You know I have to go.
Yeah, you're my good boy.
There she is. My little superstar.
Let's get to that Teen Vogue cover shoot.
Mom, I wanna take Bolt home this weekend.
Well, I...
- That would be... -That'd be nice. That'd be great.
That would. A little girl and her dog. Nothing better than that.
(CHUCKLES)
So I can bring Bolt home?
As your friend I say, "Yes, absolutely,"
but as your agent, I have to remind you this is Bolt's world.
He has to stay right here. Okay, let's go.
But he never gets to be a real dog,
and it would only be for the weekend, and I just want...
Well, you know what? It's a fair question.
Let's do this, let's put a pin in it. Boop! Pin in.
There you go. Now, let's let that hang there a bit,
and then we'll address that when we've thought things through.
Okay? Good enough for everybody?
Smiles all around? Let's get out of here. Come on.
I don't need to think it through. I wanna take Bolt home.
(CHUCKLES) Look at this face.
I have a little girl at home, love of my life.
I would do anything for her,
and I would trade her for you in a heartbeat.
True story.
That reminds me, we need to be getting over to wardrobe.
- Clip-clip, let's go. - But“
MAN: I need her in hair. PENNY: I just...
WOMAN: Can I get her for five minutes in makeup?
I wanna go for something more natural.
FAT CAT: So the dog thinks this is all real?
Oh, yeah, you're new.
Guy never leaves the set. It's unbelievable.
Whenever I get the chance, this is the perfect way to unwind.
I like to start with an evil laugh.
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
Hello, hairballs.
You may have won today, Bolt,
but in the end, we will get your little Penny.
Not likely, cat, for you've chosen to follow the path of evil.
Ultimately, it will destroy you, along with your fiendish puppet master!
- Wow! - I know, right? Okay, watch this.
She's a goner, dog.
The Green-Eyed Man has a plan, and soon, he will execute it.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
- Yeah, and then he will execute her. - Nice.
I would superbark you both back into the hole you crawled out of,
but I need you alive because I've got a little message
for you to take back to your Green-Eyed Man.
You tell him his old friend Bolt said he better...
Is it long?
- Is what long? - The message.
Is it a long message? Because I have a horrible memory.
Yeah, I'll make it brief, all right? You tell him I said I'm gonna...
You know what? Why don't we do this?
You remember the first half of the message,
and then I'll remember the second,
and then we can pass it on to the Green-Eyed Man together.
Now, I don't care how the message is translated, all right?
Just do it, okay.
Tell the Green-Eyed Man that I will not sleep,
I will not rest until my Penny is safe from his evil clutches.
You tell the Green-Eyed Man that reckoning...
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Way too many words.
I was, like, "What?" And then I was, like, "Huh?"
And then, well, I got a little bored and... Something about clutches?
Anyway, I'll do my best. Ciao.
By the way, huge fan. Love it, love you. Gotta go. Thank you.
Get back here, you sick, revolting, loathsome little...
(BOLT BARKING)
Dogs.
Cats.
(SNARLING)
I'll never let them get you, Penny.
(PANTING)
Are you ready, Bolt?
(SNARLING)
Let's widen out camera three. Ready four. Go four!
And driver.
Thanks, Larry.
DIRECTOR ON RADIO: All right, Scooter.
Find the grate. Ready on the rubber bars.
And track with them.
PENNY: The Calico supercomputer.
If we can access it, we'll finally learn where they're keeping my father.
(GRUNTS)
The weapon's hot.
Heat vision time.
Bolt, stare.
Now!
(SCREAMS)
(BARKING)
(GRUNTS)
(GROANING)
Nice move.
(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)
Come on. Come on.
(PENNY GASPS)
CALICO: Such devotion. It brings tears to my eyes.
Calico.
Your father's discoveries could be of great use to our organisation.
(MEOWING)
I'm sure he'll be more accommodating now that I've got his lucky Penny!
(SCREAMS)
Bolt!
World domination is within my grasp!
(LAUGHING MANIACALLY)
(GROWLING)
(BARKING)
(BELL RINGING)
How did your focus groups feel about cliffhangers?
You ask for unhappy 18-to-35-year-olds,
I give you unhappy 18-to-35-year-olds.
PENNY.' Bolt! It's okay, Bolt. I'm fine.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
DIRECTOR: Guards, stop her!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hold on. - Bolt!
Listen to him. He needs to know I'm okay.
Nope, you're not okay.
You've been kidnapped by the fiendish Dr Calico,
at least that's what the dog needs to think,
but just imagine, close your eyes and imagine
how excited he'll be when he saves you tomorrow. Okay?
But he's gonna be freaking out all night.
- Please, just let me... - What...
Wait a second, what's that behind your ear?
Is that a...
(CHUCKLES) Yes, it is. It's a pin. Let's do this.
Let's take the pin and put it in this conversation. Boop!
And we will not take it down, no, ma'am,
until this matter is resolved.
- But I just... - Do you know what that reminds me of?
The DVD release junket. Let's get going. It's a big push.
MAN: I want to go with a modern look, something that says,
"I'm 13, and I'm fine with that."
AGENT: All right, okay. Let's give her some air. Let's not crowd the talent.
(GROWLING)
I've been working on my evil laugh.
'Cause everybody has an evil laugh.
(SNARLING)
Like that.
Okay, here's the thing. You're not ready for the evil laugh.
You could do a chuckle, like a mildly upset chuckle,
after my evil laugh.
Listen to mine.
(LAUGHING EVILLY)
Hey, Bolt.
(SCREAMS) Big fan!
MAN: Bolt! Come back!
I'm too late.
- PENN Y: Bolt! Help! - I'm coming, Penny!
PENNY.' Bolt! Help!
Hold on, Penny! Hold on!
Bolt! Help! Bolt! Help!
(BARKS)
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
Penny!
(HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING ON HEADPHONES)
Bolt! Here, Bolt!
