Big Hero 6 (2014) Jordan Roberts (screenplay) Robert L. Baird (screenplay) Daniel Gerson (screenplay) Tadashi: You better make this up to Aunt Cass before she eats everything in the cafe. Hiro: [not really listening] For sure. Tadashi: And I hope you learned your lesson, bonehead. Hiro: [faces him, looking honest] Absolutely. Tadashi: [realizes he's lying, frustrated] You're going bot fighting, aren't you? Hiro: [casually] There's a fight across town! If I book, I can still make it! [He grabs his battle bot and starts to leave. Tadashi grabs him and turns him back around] Tadashi: [exasperated] WHEN are you going to do something with that big brain of yours? Hiro: What? Go to college like you? So people can tell me stuff I already know? Tadashi: [hurt by Hiro's words] Unbelievable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtmA7f7bCBU Dialogue on Dialogue: In this scene, Tadashi tells the audience about Hiro's disunity. Hiro is too smart to be wasting his talents on bot fighting when he could be doing something great for humanity. This moment serves to motivate Hiro towards his goal, and sets up his heroic journey. They have a great brotherly dynamic and banter.

Wizards (1977) Writer: Ralph Bakshi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FT9pWUmrimU BLACKWOLF: The trouble with you, my brother, is that you've always been too good. AVATAR: Well, that may be, but I still think I look more like Ma than you do; y'know, uh, lots of character. I'm aging better. BLACKWOLF: Brother, there is no need for me to destroy you. Surrender, surrender your world. AVATAR: (Applauding, chuckles) You always did need an audience, you sap. Lemme tell ya, I ain't practiced much magic for a long time. I wanna show you a trick mother showed me when you weren't around, to use on special occasions like this. Ah, oh yeah, one more thing...I'm glad you changed your last name, you son of a bitch. DIALOGUE ON DIALOGUE: At a time after the apocalyptic end of mankind when magic has returned to the earth, two brothers struggle for control of the world. Blackwolf uncovers "technology" left buried from the time of men and uses it (in the form of weapons of war: tanks, guns) to lead a Nazi-like attack to subjugate those remaining alive and defeat their magic. In this final scene, Avatar confront his megalomaniac brother and uses the very technology Blackwolf worshipped to defeat him.

Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005) Screenplay by David Koepp and John Kamps; based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43Y3QeV4ZjM Danny is playing a video game when Walter walks into the room, shuts off the game console and takes up the TV remote. DANNY: Hey! WALTER: Dad said no video games. DANNY: He did not. (Frustrated) Fine. Walter settles into the chair and switches on a SpongeBob cartoon. As Danny gets into the story, Walter switches to a sports program. DANNY: Hey. I was watching that. Can't we watch SpongeBob? WALTER: No. DANNY: You used to like it. WALTER: Times change. DANNY: Tartar sauce. I'm hungry. WALTER: So, what do you want me to do about it? DANNY: Make me macaroni and cheese. WALTER: I don't know how. DANNY: I'm hungry. What do you know how to make? WALTER: Water. Danny sighs and walks out of the room. A moment later he returns with a baseball and mitt. DANNY: How about if you and me play catch? WALTER: No. Danny sits and tosses the ball into Walter's lap. Walter rolls it back. Danny repeats, with the same result. On Danny's third toss he hits Walter in the face with the ball. WALTER: You're dead! DANNY: (Running) Sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Walter chases Danny through the house, eventually losing track of him upstairs. WALTER: Danny? Where are you? Danny? Where are you, Danny? Danny? Where are you? Danny is revealed to be hiding in the dumbwaiter. The doors suddenly open, and Walter is pissed. WALTER: There you are. DANNY: I said I was sorry. (Walter begins to lower the dumbwaiter cage.) Don't! No! Don't do that. It's not funny. WALTER: You'll be safe in here until Dad gets back. (Raises the door.) DANNY: You're just jealous because Dad thinks I'm smarter than you. (Walter lowers the door.) I didn't mean that. (Walter begins lowering the cage once more.) Walter! No! Pull me up! Don't! Pull me up! WALTER: What's the matter, Danny? Not still scared of the basement, are you? DANNY: Walter! No, Walter! Somebody! No! Pull me up! WALTER! WALTER: Three-year-olds are scared of basements! (He slams the door shut.) DIALOGUE ON DIALOGUE: This scene sets up the rivalry between the two brothers, a rivalry that Walter will come to regret later in the story. We very quickly get the sense of resentment Walter feels toward Danny, and Danny's desire to be liked by his older brother. We also learn of Danny's fear of the basement, which will also figure prominently in the story later on.
