Quotes38

  • Boris: Let me tell you something Balto. A dog can not make this journey alone, but maybe a wolf can.
  • Boris: Not a dog. Not a wolf. All he knows is what he's not. If only he could see what he is.
  • Boris: Oh, Balto. I was so scared, I got people bumps.
  • Boris: Let me tell you something, Balto. A dog cannot make this journey alone
  • [starts to walk off, but stops suddenly]

  • Boris: Who should you bring on a wild goose chase but a goose?
  • Boris: Balto, I do not like leaving you out here alone. Who's going to tell you how cold you are?

  • Boris: When will you learn to stay on the sidelines?
  • Boris: I am a delicate country bird. I hate going into town.
