Captain B. McCrea

[edit]
  • Well, good morning, everybody, and welcome to Day 255,642 aboard the Axiom. As always, the weather is a balmy 72 degrees and sunny, and, uh... Oh, I see the ship's log is showing that today is the 700th anniversary of our five year cruise. Well, I'm sure our forefathers would be proud to know that 700 years later we'd be... doing the exact same thing they were doing. So, be sure next mealtime to ask for your free "septuacentennial cupcake in a cup." Wow, look at that!
  • 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.
  • What do you mean, "classified"? You don't keep a secret from the Captain.
  • Tell me, AUTO! That's an order!
  • No. Wait a minute. Computer, when was that message sent out the Axiom?
  • That's... That's nearly 700 years ago! AUTO, things have changed! We've gotta go back!
  • 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!
  • 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!
  • 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! [switches to "MANUEL"]
  • [last lines] 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

[edit]
Commercial Voice: Too much garbage in your face? There's plenty of space out in space! BNL Starliners leaving each day. We'll clean up the mess while you're away. The jewel of BNL fleet-- the Axiom. Spend your five-year cruise in style, waited on 24 hours a day by our fully automated crew. While your captain and autopilot chart a course for non-stop entertainment, fine dining, and with our all-access hover-chairs, even Grandma can join the fun! There's no need to walk. The Axiom. Putting the star in executive starliner.
Shelby Forthright: Because at BNL, space is the final fun-tier!
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: Dirrrrrrrrective?
EVE: Directive? [WALL-E nods; turns away] Classified.
WALL-E: Oh.
EVE: Name? [scans him]
WALL-E: WALL-E.
EVE: WALL-E. 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] EVE.
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: EVE! EVE!
COM: Buy N Large. Everything you need to be happy. Your day is very important to us.
NAN-E: [teaching some infants the alphabet] "A" is for Axiom, your home sweet home. "B" is for Buy N Large, your very best friend.
COM: Attention, Axiom shoppers. Try blue. It's the new red.
Axiom Passengers: Ooh! [press a button on their hover-chairs and their suits change blue]
Shelby Forthright: Greetings and congratulations, Captain! If you are seeing this, that means your Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator, or "EVE" probe, has returned from Earth with a confirmed specimen of ongoing photosynthesis. That's right. It means it's time to go back home!
Captain B. McCrea: [surprised] Home? We're going back?
Shelby Forthright: Now that Earth has been restored to a life-sustaining status, by golly, we can begin Operation: Recolonize. [a manual book reading: "Operation Recolonize" emerges and lands in WALL-E's as he tries to escape; Captain B. McCrea takes the book out of his hands, mistaking him for a book podium, and blows the dust off the cover] Simply follow this manual's instructions to place the plant in your ship's holo-detector, and the Axiom will immediately navigate your return to Earth. It's that easy!
WALL-E & Captain B. McCrea: Huh.
Shelby Forthright: Now, due to the effects of micro-gravity, you and your passengers may have suffered some slight bone loss. But I'm sure a few laps around your ship's jogging track will get you back in shape in no time.
Captain B. McCrea: [looks at his legs; to AUTO] We have a jogging track?
Shelby Forthright: If you have any further questions, just consult your operation manual. See you back home real soon!
COM: Voice authorization required.
Captain B. McCrea: Uhhh...
COM: [after the "uhhh" echoes] Accepted.
Captain B. McCrea: Where’s the thingy.
AUTO: Plant.
Captain B. McCrea: Plant, right, right. Where is it? Maybe we missed a step.
COM: Caution: Rogue robots.
WALL-E: Uh-oh! EVE. [points at screen with them on it; EVE fires her laser blast at the screen, destroying it] Aw... [folds up inside himself]
Mary: [looks at the stars outside the Axiom while other passengers pass idly by] Oh! So many stars! Ah. [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!? [shuts off his chair and screen and the suit turns back to red, 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; looks down, somewhat surprised; looks up at Mary, smiles] Hi.
Mary: [smiles] Hi.
Captain B. McCrea: Define "hoedown".
COM: Hoedown: A social gathering at which lively dancing would take place.
Captain B. McCrea: [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 B. McCrea: Aw! [starts to moves away from workstation, but stops and turns around slightly] Psst - Computer, define "dancing".
[WALL-E and EVE are seen outside a window in space, flying around]
COM: 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: EVE?
EVE: Home!
Captain B. McCrea: We have to go back. Auto, come down here.
AUTO: Aye, aye, sir.
EVE: WALL-E.
Captain B. McCrea: AUTO, EVE found the plant. Fire up the holo-detector.
AUTO: Not necessary, Captain. You may give it to me.
Captain B. McCrea: 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 B. McCrea: AUTO, get out of my way.
AUTO: We cannot go home.
Captain B. McCrea: What are you talking about? Why not?
AUTO: That is classified, Captain. [extends and opens grabber] Give me the plant.
Captain B. McCrea: [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 B. McCrea: Tell me what's classified.
AUTO: The plant.
Captain B. McCrea: [holds AUTO away by the central chassis] Tell me, AUTO! That's an order!
[Short pauses]
AUTO: Aye, aye, sir. [goes to the computer and opens a top-secret message from BnL CEO Shelby Forthright]
Shelby Forthright: Just cut it off, will ya? Hey there, autopilots, Got some bad news. I’m afraid that Operation Cleanup has failed. I'm afraid that you know, rising toxicity levels have made life unsustainable on Earth.
Captain B. McCrea: [looks at the plant] "Unsustainable?" What?
Shelby Forthright: 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 B. McCrea: "Easier?"
Assistant: Mr. President.
Shelby Forthright: I think---Huh?
Cameraman: Sir, time to go.
Assistant: 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 B. McCrea: No, wait a minute. Computer, when was that message sent out the Axiom?
Computer: Message received in the year 2110.
Captain B. McCrea: 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 B. McCrea: But life is sustainable, now! Look at this plant! Green and growing! It's living proof he was wrong!
AUTO: Irrelevant, captain.
Captain B. McCrea: 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 B. McCrea: I don't want to survive! I want to live!
AUTO: Must follow my directive.
[Captain groan in anger, then he turn around and notices that Auto is looming closer in the portraits of his predecessor; AUTO loom close behind him making him tighten his cap]
Captain B. McCrea: [determinedly] I'm the captain of the Axiom. We are going home today. [AUTO moves forward at him threateningly then calls for GO-4. GO-4 enters] 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] EVE, you're to put this plant straight in the holo-detector. [GO-4 tosses it in the chute] NO!
[This made EVE very cross but she didn't as the plant slowly loom up from the chute, WALL-E enters with the plant on his head]
WALL-E: EVA?
EVE and Captain B. McCrea: [suprised] WALL-E!
WALL-E: EVA. [climbs from the chute, the plant falls from the head and lands on his top chest] Uh-oh.
Captain B. McCrea: WALL-E, the plant! Over here! Throw it!
EVE: WALL-E! [gets held back by GO-4's tractor beam]
WALL-E: EVE!
AUTO: [gets in WALL-E's way] Give me the plant.
[WALL-E avoids the plant from being snatched and throws it in his cubing hatch. Angry, AUTO activates his taser and electrocutes WALL-E with thousands of volts. The surge overloads WALL-E's circuits, zapping the poor robot.]
EVE: [horrified] NO!!!
[AUTO savagely holds down the trigger. The Captain also watches in horror. GO-4 watches with grim resolve. Part of WALL-E's CPU chip blows out in a puff of smoke. Finally, AUTO aiming his weapon. Malfunctioned and injured, WALL-E passes out, and falls back down the chute.]
EVE: [Distraught] WALL-E!!!!
[AUTO pushes the button to turn EVE off, GO-4 drops her down the chute and leaves]
AUTO: [to the Captain] All communications are terminated. You are confined to quarters. [Auto shuts off the lights, and exits the room]
Captain B. McCrea: No! Mutiny! Mutiny!
[The doors close and are locked. Next scene, EVE reboots and from her point of view, we see that she is in the Axiom's garbage chute.]
[M-O has finished cleaning a severely injured WALL-E]
WALL-E: [sighs sadly to give M-O a handshake] WALL-E.
M-O: [scrubs WALL-E's hand, then shakes it] M-O. [reverts to his box form]
WALL-E: [pauses out] M-O?
M-O: M-O.
WALL-E: [pauses out strains] M-O.
[M-O and some of the Axiom passengers pass the plant to EVE one by one, BRL-A launches it to her, she then places it in the holo-detector]
COM: Plant origin verified.
EVE: [gasps in horror as WALL-E comes out, completely crushed] WALL-E.
COM: Course set for Earth. Primary engine ignition on. Ten seconds to hyper-jump… Beginning countdown. Ten, nine, eight...
EVE: [devastated] No. WALL-E!
[M-O, the other defective robots, and all the Axiom passengers grieve in despair]
COM: …seven, six, five, four...
Mary: Oh, no! [buries her head in John's chest; saddened] WALL-E.
COM: …three, two, one, zero.
[The Axiom blasts off in hyper warp speed]
[After the Axiom returns to Earth, EVE fixes up WALL-E with all the spare parts in his truck, but his memory and personality have been erased as he reboots]
EVE: WALL-E. [holds out her hand to him, but WALL-E just stares blankly at her and turns away, motoring out of the truck; grabs him and turns him around] EVE. [WALL-E just stares at her, not knowing who she is] Ooh! [grabs the Rubik's cube and lightbulb from the shelf and gives them to him to make him remember, but no reaction] WALL-E?
[M-O and the other defective robots catch up to WALL-E and EVE having a tender moment after WALL-E is all fixed up and regains his memory and personality]
PR-T: You're kidding!
M-O: [pushes and shoos 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: [last lines] 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

[edit]
  • 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 the 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. Wall-E stands for "Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class." He is a lonely, caring, and soulful robot. Wall-E although 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 EVE ("Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator") 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 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 anybody else, for Ben Burtt, whoever. When you put in a sound, it's got to convey that. And so it was very conventional how I wrote it.
The only thing I did that was a little unconventional, is how 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 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 a much more visceral feel of what it will be like to watch that movie. So I used that for Wall-E -- it helped.

[edit]
[the screen shows Disney and Pixar logos, the camera zooms in the cafe]
Andrew Stanton: In the summer of 1994, there was a lunch. Uh, me, John Lasseter, Pete Docter, uh, the late Joe Ranft, all sat down. Toy Story was almost complete, and we thought: "Well, geez, if we're gonna make another movie, we gotta get started now".
[the camera zooms in some various movies]
Stanton: So, at that lunch, we knocked around a bunch of ideas that eventually became... A Bug's Life. Monsters, Incorporated. Finding Nemo. The last one we talked about that day was the story of a robot, named WALL-E.
[Score from "Brazil" plays, text on a nighttime sky reads: "NEXT SUMMER", WALL-E wakes up from a nap and breaks out from his box formation, text on black background reads: "AFTER 700 YEARS OF DOING WHAT HE WAS BUILT FOR", WALL-E is seen collecting trash and turning them into trash cubes, text on black background reads: "HE'LL DISCOVER WHAT HE WAS MADE FOR", WALL-E looks up at the sky covered in dust, and begins to stare at the stars while the scene fades into another shot of the sky, the film's title appears on the screen, with fine print reading: "(c) 2007 Disney · Pixar"]
