"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!"

"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."

"Ben Burtt — Servicebot ADAM WALL-E, Brushbot M-O"

"Elissa Knight — Probebot EVE"

"Jeff Garlin — Captain B. McCrea"

"Fred Willard — Shelby Forthright"

"MacInTalk — AUTO"

"John Ratzenberger — John"

"Kathy Najimy — Mary"

"Sigourney Weaver — COM"

"After 700 years of doing what he was built for - he'll discover what he's meant for."

"In Space, No One Can Hear You Clean"

"He's got a lot of time on his hands."
