Captain B. McCrea

 * We can go back home! For the first time!
 * We have to go back.
 * AUTO, EVE found the plant. Fire up the Holo-Detector.
 * AUTO, get out of my way.
 * Tell me, AUTO! That's an order!
 * No. Wait a minute. Computer, when was that message sent out to the Axiom?
 * That's... That's nearly 700 years ago! AUTO, things have changed! We've gotta go back!
 * I don't want to survive! I wanna live!
 * I'm the captain of the Axiom. We are going home today.
 * This is mutiny! EVE, arrest him.
 * EVE, you are to put this plant straight in the Holo-Detector.
 * NO!!! Mutiny! Mutiny!
 * AUTO! AUTO! Mutiny! Mutiny! Stupid wheel!
 * We'll see who's powerless now.
 * Testing. Testing. Is this thing on?
 * Hey, this is the Captain. I am locked in my room. EVE, WALL-E, bring the plant to the Lido Deck. I'll have activated the Holo-Detector. Now, hurry! AUTO's probably gonna cut me off!
 * That's right. The plant. You want it? Come and get it, Blinky.
 * Too heavy for you?! Huh?!
 * You're not getting away from me, one-eye!
 * Is that all you got?!
 * Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We're having a slight malfunction with the Autopilot. Please remain calm!
 * AUTO, you are relieved of duty!
 * This is called farming! You kids are gonna grow all kinds of plants! Vegetable plants, pizza plants. [laughs] Oh, it's good to be home!

Dialogue

 * [WALL-E whistles song. WALL-E clears throat. EVE turns to WALL-E who falls down. WALL-E gets up and stands, whistles]
 * WALL-E: Huh?
 * EVE: [repeats "Directive" in multiple languages until she speaks English] Directive? [WALL-E is at first confused] Directive?
 * WALL-E: [understands her question and demonstrates his trash-compacting function] Ta-da!
 * EVE: Ooh.
 * WALL-E: Directive.
 * EVE: Directive? [As WALL-E nods, EVE turns away sharply] Classified.
 * WALL-E: Oh.
 * EVE: Name? [scans him]
 * WALL-E: WALL-E.
 * EVE: WALL-E.
 * EVE: WALL-E. [giggles] EVE.
 * WALL-E: [attempting to pronounce it] Eeee...
 * EVE: EVE.
 * WALL-E: Eeeee...Ahhh.
 * EVE: "EVE"! "EVE"!
 * WALL-E: Eee...VA. [EVE giggles] EVA.
 * EVE: EVE.
 * [Suddenly, WALL-E gets another sandstorm alert. He looks behind EVE to see the sandstorm approaching the two robots. He then tries to alert EVE about the sandstorm behind her.]
 * WALL-E: EVA! EVA!




 * Ship's Computer: Caution: Rogue robots.
 * WALL-E: Uh-oh! EVA. [points at screen with them on it; EVE fires a laser blast at the screen, destroying it] Aw... [folds up inside himself]




 * Ship's Computer: Voice authorization required.
 * Captain: Uhhh...
 * Ship's Computer: [after the "uhhh" echoes] Accepted.
 * Captain: Where’s the thingy.
 * AUTO: Plant.
 * Captain: Plant, right, right. Where is it? Maybe we missed a step.




 * Mary: [looks at the stars outside the Axiom while other passengers pass idly by] Oh! So many stars! Ah. [she sees WALL-E and EVE dancing around outside] Oh! Hey! That's what's-his-name! [backs up, bumps into John]
 * John: Hey! What the-?!
 * Mary: Look! Look, look, look!? [she shuts off his chair and screen, making him aware of his surroundings]
 * John: Huh? What? [sees WALL-E and EVE] Hey... I know that guy! It's uh, uh... WALL-E! That's it! Hey, WALL-E! It's your buddy John!
 * Mary: [simultaneously] Hey! Hi, WALL-E!
 * [John casually puts his right hand upon Mary's]
 * John: [looks down, somewhat surprised; looks up at Mary, smiles] Hi.
 * Mary: [smiles] Hi.


 * Captain: Define "hoedown".
 * Ship's Computer: Hoedown: A social gathering at which lively dancing would take place.
 * Captain: [AUTO appears nearby] AUTO! Earth is amazing! These are called "farms". Humans would put seeds in the ground, pour water on them, and they grow food, like, pizza!
 * AUTO: [shuts off information display] Good night, Captain.
 * Captain: Aw! [starts to moves away from workstation, but stops and turns around slightly] Psst - Computer, define "dancing".
 * Ship's Computer: [WALL-E and EVE are seen outside a window in space, flying around] Dancing: A series of movements involving two partners, where speed and rhythm match harmoniously with music.
 * [Camera cuts to outside the Axiom, and WALL-E and EVE continue to "dance"]
 * WALL-E: Eva?
 * EVE: Home!


 * Captain: AUTO, EVE found the plant. Fire up the holo-detector.
 * AUTO: Not necessary, Captain. You may give it to me.
 * Captain: You know what? I should do it myself.
 * AUTO: [sternly] Captain! [blocks the Captain's way] Sir, I insist you give me the plant.
 * Captain: AUTO, get out of my way.
 * AUTO: We cannot go home.
 * Captain: What are you talking about? Why not?
 * AUTO: That is classified, Captain. [extends and opens grabber] Give me the plant.
 * Captain: [holds the plant away from Auto defensively] What do you mean, "classified"?! You don't keep a secret from the captain!
 * AUTO: [tries to forcefully grab for the plant] Give me the plant.
 * Captain: Tell me what's classified!
 * AUTO: The plant.
 * Captain: [holds AUTO away by the central chassis] Tell me, AUTO! That's an order! [short pauses]
 * AUTO: Aye, aye, sir.
 * [AUTO goes to the computer and opens a top secret message from BnL CEO Shelby Forthright]
 * Shelby Forthright: Just cut if off, will ya? Hey there, autopilots. Got some bad news. Um, Operation Cleanup has, well, failed. Wouldn't you know, rising toxicity levels have made life unsustainable on Earth.
 * Captain: [looks at the plant] "Unsustainable?" What?
 * Shelby: Darn it all, we're gonna have to cancel Operation Recolonize. So, just stay the course. Um, rather than try and fix this problem, it'll just be easier for everyone to remain in space.
 * Captain: "Easier?"
 * Cameraman: Mr. President.
 * Shelby: I think... huh?
 * Cameraman: Sir, time to go.
 * Shelby: Okay, I'm giving Override Directive A113. Go to full autopilot, take control of everything, and do not return to Earth. Repeat: Do not return to Earth. [puts on a gas mask and walks away] Let's get the heck outta here.
 * [the video ends]
 * AUTO: Now, the plant.
 * Captain: No, wait a minute. Computer, when was that message sent out the Axiom?
 * Computer: Message received in the year 2110.
 * Captain: That's... That's nearly 700 years ago! AUTO, things have changed! We've gotta go back!
 * AUTO: Sir, orders are do not return to Earth.
 * Captain: But life is sustainable, now! Look at this plant. Green and growing! It's living proof he was wrong!
 * AUTO: Irrelevant, captain.
 * Captain: What? It's completely relevant! Out there is our home. Home, AUTO. And it's in trouble. I can't just sit out here and do nothing! That's all I've ever done! That's all anyone on this blasted ship has ever done! Nothing!
 * AUTO: On the Axiom you will survive.
 * Captain: I don't want to survive! I want to live!
 * AUTO: Must follow my directive.
 * ''[Captain groans in frustration, then turns around and notices that Auto is looming closer in the portraits of his predecessors; AUTO looms close behind him making him tighten his cap.]
 * Captain: I'm the captain of the Axiom. We are going home today.
 * [Auto advances him threateningly, causing the Captain to flinch and alerts. GO-4 enters.]
 * Captain: GO-4? [GO-4 snatches the plant with his red grab beam] Hey! That's mine... This is mutiny! [to EVE] EVE, arrest him. [EVE aims her laser blaster at GO-4, opens her chest and points at the inside, warbling]
 * Captain: EVE, you're to put this plant straight in the holo-detector. [GO-4 throws it in the chute] NO!
 * [Then EVE notices that the plant slowly loom up from the chute, WALL-E enters with a plant on his head]
 * WALL-E: EVA?
 * EVE and Captain: WALL-E!
 * WALL-E: EVA. [climbs from the chute, the plant falls from the head and lands on his top chest] Uh-oh.
 * Captain: [as AUTO approaches to WALL-E] WALL-E, the plant! Over here! Throw it!
 * EVE: WALL-E! [gets hold back by GO-4]
 * WALL-E: EVA!
 * [AUTO gets in WALL-E's way]
 * AUTO: Give me the plant.
 * ''[WALL-E avoids the plant from being snatched and throws it in his cubing hatch, AUTO activates a stun-electric and electrocutes his speaker]
 * EVE: [seeing AUTO hurting WALL-E in shock] NO!
 * [Then WALL-E became malfunctioned and damaged, falls back in the chute. Then AUTO pushes the button to shut EVE off, GO-4 drops her down the chute and leaves.]
 * AUTO: All communications are terminated. You are confined to quarters [leaves]
 * Captain: No! Mutiny! MUTINY!!!


 * WALL-E: [M-O has finished cleaning a severely damaged WALL-E, who strains to give a handshake] WALL-E.
 * MO: [scrubs WALL-E's hand, then shakes it] M-O. [M-O reverts to his box form]
 * WALL-E: [pauses] M-O?
 * MO: M-O.
 * WALL-E: [pauses again] M-O.


 * Captain: AUTO!
 * EVE: [behind the uproar] WALL-E!
 * Captain: AUTO, you are relieved of duty! [he strains up and then he switches from AUTO to manual]
 * AUTO: Nooooooooo.....
 * EVE: Plant! Plant!


 * [M-O and the other defective robots catch up to Wall-E and EVE having a tender moment]
 * PR-T: Are you kidding?
 * M-O: [Pushes the other robots away] Go! Go, go, go! [Most of the other defective robots turn away and leave except for BRL-A (the umbrella robot) who wants to see what's going on. M-O pushes him back.]
 * Captain B. McCrea: This is called farming! You kids are gonna grow all kinds of plants! Vegetable plants. Pizza plants! [laughs] Oh, it's good to be home!

About WALL-E

 * Well, actually, its an animated Disney movie that takes 700 years after humans globally turned Earth into a living dumpster, inhabitable for them to live in. 700 years back humans fled in a spaceship in hopes of coming back to Earth after robots were left to "clean Earth". Unfortunately, all robots left were never able to sustain the great damage already caused. Long forgotten about the purpose of the ship were left the humans on board with high robot technology made for them to live a luxurious life for the next 700 years. Back on earth Wall-e a clean up robot lives there (maybe the last one left). Wall-E stands for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth -Class. He is a lonely, caring and soulful robot. Wall-E although is different, he is fascinated with Earth's objects that were left behind. One day a spaceship drops off a unique new high tech robot. Its purpose...to find life on Earth. Wall-E is fascinated with this robot and follows her quietly and quite frightened, due to the robots immense power, it contains. What happens when Wall-E meets Eva and fascinates her too with the objects of Earth, and one of them being a plant. What happens when the robots purpose is done, while stealing away the plant and getting picked up by a spaceship? What if Wall-E doesn't want her to leave.
 * I'm sorry, there's no short answer to this, but in '94 we were having a lunch about what to do next because we were finishing up Toy Story and we realized we were already behind schedule-wise if we were going to make another movie soon. So we came up with A Bug's Life from that lunch, but before we got to that, we threw out a bunch of other sort of half-baked thoughts. Some of them just were settings, like an ocean, some of them were your fears, and that's – it's fascinating to see later that they became Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. But then we just had a character we came up with. We came up with the last robot on Earth, this robot that just keeps doing the same thing, that got left on for whatever reason, and it's just doing the same job. And I just thought that was the saddest character I had ever heard of and I just loved that and I remember Pete Docter and I couldn't drop it for a couple of weeks. We said, wouldn't it be cool if it was sort of like R2-D2, you sort of had to infer based on how it was engineered how it—it would almost be a movie about Luxo Jr. through the whole thing.
 * Here's my argument. There's dialogue from frame one. Each of those beeps and those squawks and those whirs mean something and they're trying to convey a specific thing, so I actually wrote the script with dialogue – wrote it just like a regular script. I would just put the dialogue in brackets. So if he says 'hey, come over here,' I wrote 'hey, come over here' and I put it in brackets. Now it was a map for me and for anybody else, for Ben Burtt, whoever. When you put in a sound, it's got to convey that. And so it was actually very conventional how I wrote it.
 * The only thing I did that was a little unconventional, is the manner in which I formatted the script. I was very inspired by Dan O'Bannon's script for Alien (film). His description paragraphs were not your typical paragraphs, they were actually small phrases that were all left justified, almost like a haiku, and they created this rhythm of just being in the moment of quiet and visual. And you found yourself reading the descriptions much more than you normally do a script because of that form, instead of just skipping to the dialogue. It really kind of paced you as a reader and gave you the much more visceral feel of what it will be like to watch that movie. So I used that for Wall-E -- it really helped.
