[Carl, with his house high in the air, hears a knock at the door and finds Russell on the front porch]
Russell: Hi, Mr. Fredricksen! It's me, Russell!
Carl Fredricksen: What are you doing out here, kid?
Russell: I found the snipe and I followed it under your porch, but this snipe had a long tail and looked more like a large mouse.
[Russell's Wilderness Explorers flag blows away in the wind]
Russell: Please let me in.
Carl Fredricksen: No.
[Carl goes inside and slams the door. Russell waits uncertainly a few moments]
Carl Fredricksen: [opens the door] Oh, all right. You can come...
[Russell races past Carl into the house]
Carl Fredricksen: ...in.
