Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Page #3

Synopsis: After the events of "Ice Age: The Meltdown", life begins to change for Manny and his friends: Scrat is still on the hunt to hold onto his beloved acorn, while finding a possible romance in a female sabre-toothed squirrel named Scratte. Manny and Ellie, having since become an item, are expecting a baby, which leaves Manny anxious to ensure that everything is perfect for when his baby arrives. Diego is fed up with being treated like a house-cat and ponders the notion that he is becoming too laid-back. Sid begins to wish for a family of his own, and so steals some dinosaur eggs which leads to Sid ending up in a strange underground world where his herd must rescue him, while dodging dinosaurs and facing danger left and right, and meeting up with a one-eyed weasel known as Buck who hunts dinosaurs intently.

That's rule number four.

Now, let's go find your friend.

Oh it's okay, it's okay. Don't

worry, we're gonna be fine.

Please swing a little more to...?

See, she's putting us down...

No! I'm too young to be eaten.

Wow! Nice mucus. And I

don't care for, everyone.

Listen these things get complicated.

Maybe we can work something out.

I can have them on Sundays to Tuesdays?

Wednesdays to Fridays? Weekends!

It's Okay, mommas okay!

If you eat me, it will send a bad message.

Ha! Score one for the sloth!

And the scores all tied up.

- Do you think the beast will find, Sid?

- Or more importantly, us?

Rudy? Are you joking? He's relentless.

He knows all, sees all eats all.

So that's a, yes.

Hey, get off my lawn! Go on shoo!

I knew that guy when he was a caterpillar.

You know, before he came out.

So your just living down here by your wits!

All on your own, no responsibilities?

Not one! It's incredible.

No dependence, no limits, the greatest

life a single guy can have.

Did you hear that?

This is my kind of place.

Hello? No... No I can't really talk right now...

I'm trying to recover a dead sloth.

Now, They're following Me!

I know! They think I'm crazy.

Okay... We're going into the Chasm of Death,

I'm gonna lose you. I love you too.

- Alright, goodbye. Goodbye, bye.

- Okay, follow me!

That's you in three weeks.

- So, why do they call it the chasm of death?

- Well we tried, 'big smelly crack',

- But, that just made everybody giggle.

- Well now what?

- Madam...

- She is not doing that.

Rule number one.

Come on, mammoth.

You supposed to have a good memory.

Always listen to Buck.

Now! Eyes forward.

Back straight... and uh, yes,

- Breathe in the toxic fumes and you'll probably die.

- Toxic fumes.

- Just another day in paradise.

- Wait!

Geronimo!

- Ellie! You okay?

- You have to try this.

- Alright now pile on

everyone, couldn't be easier.

Don't panic! Just some, technical

difficulties. Keep holding it in boys.

- I can't take it anymore.

- He breathe it. And now I'm breathing it.

- Hey we're not dead.

- You sound ridiculous.

Me? You should hear you.

Alright, alright.

And one, and two...

- Christmas, Christmas time is here...

- Are you crazy?

It's not poison.

It's so disturbing.

- Stop laughing, all of you!

- "Stop laughing, all of you!"

What's rule number one?

They're just laughing,

what's so bad about that?

They died laughing.

- Stop laughing!

- Do you know what's funny though?

We're trying to save Sid

and now we're all gonna die!

- And I don't even like Sid.

- Who does? He's an idiot!

Thank's for getting me into this mess.

It's the most fun I've had in years.

Thank you, for deserting the herd.

That was totally super.

Stop that! Don't you see?

We're all gonna die.

We gotta do everything, huh?

- Sometimes I wet my bed.

- That's alright. Sometimes I wet your bed.

I'm not sure how much

of that you could hear?

Oh I heard all of it.

- You wet my bed?

- That was, gas talk dude!.

- Well, we better get moving.

- Aren't we forgetting something?

I'm so lonely.

Okay. Here you go guys...

Muncher, muncher.

What! Your not gonna

eat your vegetables?

How you going to become

big and strong, dinosaurs?

No... I raised them vegetarian.

It's a healthier lifestyle I mean look at me.

Excuse me. I'm trying to

have a conversation here.

No, no, no! That's not for us kids.

Way to feathery and fleshy and.

...and alive!

No, no, no, we do not

eat live animals, period.

Now go, fly. Be free.

Little, flightless bird.

- My bad.

- Hey, where you going?

This is how you resolve a conflict?

No wonder your single.

Oh come on. Am I talking to myself here?

I say they're vegetarian, you say, 'Grrrr'.

I say can we talk about this? You say,

Grrrr. I don't call that communication.

See, that's your answer to everything.

What are you afraid of?

You're the biggest thing on, Earth.

Aren't you?

- They'll never survive, it's dangerous by day!

- But it's even worse at night.

- Plus the guide is a lunatic!

- What you mean, Buck? Oh his whack-O.

I am not. Totally bonkers! And his

feet smell. Shut up! You shut up!

Oh you little...

- He's strangling his own foot.

- Shouldn't we get moving?

- And give, Rudy a midnight snack? Not likely.

- The skulls right, take a load of mammals.

We'll camp here. Now, who's hungry?

I am. You don't need the calories!

There I was... My back

against the wall. No way out.

Perched on a razor's edge of oblivion.

Staring into the eye, of the great white beast.

- Were you killed?

- Sadly, yes. But I lived!

Never had I felt so alive, than

when I was so close... To death.

Just before, Rudy could

suck me down his gullet.

I grabbed hold of that, roast pink fleshy thing

that dangles at the back of the throat.

I hung on to that sucker,

and I swung back and forth, back and forth.

Back... and forth and back. Until finally

I let go and shot right out of his mouth.

I may have lost an eye that day.

But I got this.

Rudy's tooth...

It's like the old saying: "An eye for

a tooth". A nose for a chin. A butt for a"...

It's an old saying. But

uh, it's not a very good one.

You are super weasel.

- Ultra weasel.

- Diesel weasel.

What? He is.

Now let me tell you about the time I used

to sharpen, clam-Shell to turn a T-Rex,

- Into a T-Rachel

- Yes master.

Wow, that's enough

fairy-Tales for one night.

- Come on, Ellie. You should rest now...

- Pff.. Life at the party.

Alright, you guys get some

shut-eye, I'll keep watch.

Don't worry, Buck, we got this.

- Night time is possum time.

- Yeah, we own the night baby.

Good night, Rudy.

Wait, wait. What about me?

Sleep well, kids. We have a busy

day tomorrow. Forging, Hunting...

Missing my friends.

Probably are not missing me.

What..?

Your a real softie.

You know that?

Manny?

Crash? Eddie?

Manny?

What's going on? Are you okay?

I'm sorry. I just wanted

to keep you safe, and

Now you're in the most

dangerous place in the world.

This isn't your fault. It's bigger than

both of us. We have to get, Sid.

Yeah, but If I had been a better friend

to him... we wouldn't be here.

Better friend?

Are you plucking my whiskers?

You risked your life, your mate

and your baby to save your buddy!

Not the best husband or father,

but... a damn good friend.

Everybody stop!

I smell something.

Hmm, it smells like

a buzzard's butt fell off.

- And then got sprayed on by a bunch of, skunks.

- That's, Sid.

Mammal's, we have ourselves a crime scene.

Half eaten carcass! Hunk of... oh, no!
