• [last lines, during a flashback montage, it is shown how Scrooge attempted to find Della, as his money bin decreased until the search was called off ultimately] 

  Louie Duck : [voiceover]  You're the richest duck in the world! Why didn't you send up more ships to look for her?

  Huey Duck : [voiceover]  Then you encouraged her to keep flying through a cosmic storm? You could've called her down! There were too many variables!

  Dewey Duck : [voiceover]  So you're the reason our mom is gone. Cheap old Scrooge probably bailed as soon as it put a dent in his money bin!

  Mrs. Beakley : [voiceover]  Well, you've successfully pushed your family and everyone who cared about you away... again. I hope you're happy.

  Scrooge McDuck : [all alone and in tears]  I am...

• Scrooge McDuck : I'm trying to save your life! Now come back here, or I will end it, young man!

• Dewey Duck : [after learning the truth about Della's disappearance; bitterly]  Cool, so you're the reason our mom is gone!

  Scrooge McDuck : [stammers]  What? No! I... I...

  [the Sunchaser starts to tip] 

  Launchpad McQuack : Um, guys?

  Dewey Duck : You built her a crazy dangerous super rocket!

  Scrooge McDuck : Which she stole early!

  Huey Duck : Then you encouraged her to keep flying in a cosmic storm? You could have called her down! There were too many variables!

  Mrs. Beakley : Now boys, you don't know...

  Louie Duck : And you're the richest duck in the world! Why didn't you send up more ships to look for her?

  Scrooge McDuck : I spared no expense!

  Dewey Duck : [coldly]  Yeah, right. Cheap old Scrooge probably bailed as soon as it put a dent in his money bin.

  [the Sunchaser teeters some more] 

  Launchpad McQuack : Um, guys?

  Webby Vanderquack : Take it easy, Dewey. He may have a point. Even if gifting an experimental rocket to a mother of three was clearly a terrible idea!

  Scrooge McDuck : This is a family matter! You are not family!

  [Webby stares at him, on the verge of tears] 

  Mrs. Beakley : [defensively]  See here, McDuck. You will not speak to my granddaughter that way.

  Scrooge McDuck : You will not speak to ME that way! None of you! After everything I do for you, you're all nothing but trouble!

  Launchpad McQuack : Guys! This is your captain speaking, we are FALLING!

  Dewey Duck , Scrooge McDuck , Launchpad McQuack , Huey Duck , Mrs. Beakley , Louie Duck , Webby Vanderquack : WAIT WHAT?

  [the Sunchaser falls as everyone screams. The fall isn't too high and the aeroplane survives] 

  Launchpad McQuack : Huh, that was weird.

  [crashes into a canyon wall] 

  Launchpad McQuack : Phew, there we go!

• Scrooge McDuck : Please, I... I can't keep you safe, all right? How can I get you to listen to me?

  [beat] 

  Dewey Duck : Tell me about the Spear of Selene.

  [Scrooge takes Dewey's hand and puts him back on the plane as the whole family gathers around to hear Scrooge's story] 

  Scrooge McDuck : [sighs]  It was just before you were hatched. Your mother, your Uncle Donald, and I have been going on amazing adventures for years. And things were grand. Except, we've been just about everywhere. Ever the aviator, your mother devised a plan to explore the greatest uncharted territory of all: outer space! Della had already been all over the earth, and she wanted to give you boys the stars. Donald thought it was too risky. Especially with you three on the way. So I did the only logical thing: I built the rocket and didn't tell Donald or anyone. It was meant to be a surprise for Della to celebrate your birth. But your mother was always good at sniffing out surprises. She found the rocket and decided to go for a little test run in orbit. Neither of us could've predicted that cosmic storm. But we both knew a little pan-galactic precipitation wouldn't stop her. After all, she was Della Duck! Curse me kilts, was that girl stubborn! I tried to talk her through it, but if anyone could make it, it was her! Until that very last bolt. I couldn't keep her safe. The rocket and your mother were lost to the inky abyss of space. Your uncle Donald and I never spoke again. Until you three showed up on my doorstep.

• Scrooge McDuck : What have you got there?

  Dewey Duck : [nervously]  Not... secrets!

  Huey Duck : Literally the worst answer you could've given.

• Webby Vanderquack : [to Mrs. Beakley, about Scrooge]  Isn't he even gonna say goodbye?

  Mrs. Beakley : [to Scrooge, sternly]  We're taking those vacation days. If that's alright with you... sir.

  Scrooge McDuck : [also sternly]  Fine.

  [Webby sadly walks away] 

  Mrs. Beakley : Well, you've successfully pushed your family and everyone who cared about you away... again. I hope you're happy.

• Mrs. Beakley : Mr. McDuck...!

  Scrooge McDuck : Kids...!

  Louie Duck : Mrs. Beakley!

  [beat] 

  Louie Duck : Sorry, I just thought I could keep the blame circle going.
