Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs Page #4

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.

Broccoli!

Here's what I think happened:

Dinosaur attacked Sid, Sid fights back

with piece of broccoli.

- Leaving dinosaur, a vegetable.

- Are you nuts?

Sid's not violent,

or co-Ordinated.

- Yeah and where's the dinosaur?

- Alright, alright. Good point.

Theory two:

Sid's eating broccoli. Dinosaur eats Sid.

Dinosaur steps on broccoli.

- Leaving broccoli, a vegetable.

- Buck, when exactly did you lose your mind?

Umm... 3 months ago. I woke up

one morning married to a pineapple.

An UGLY pineapple.

But I loved her.

Uh, Buck! I think you

missed a little clue over here.

Your friend might be alive.

But not for long. Rudy's closing in.

Wow...

You got it. The plates of, wow.

Or whatever's left of them.

Single file everyone.

Head for, Lava Falls.

- What's that sound?

- It's the wind. It's speaking to us.

- What's it saying?

- I don't know. I don't speak wind.

Ellie?

I'm fine, don't worry about

me. I'm just taking my...

Ellie! Whoa!

- Manny!

- Get to the ledge!

- Ellie!

- Ellie, where are you?

- It's okay, I'm up here.

- Hang on, Ellie. We'll be right there.

Wait! Sloth down!

Wait... Time out. Hold up.

Jeez, you guys are getting fast.

It's not so bad down here.

Nice weather, friendly neighbours.

Hi, neighbour.

- Rudy...

- Rudy!

- Never heard that kind of dino, before.

- That's, Sid. - We'll have to move fast.

Manny, pineapples!

- Pineapples?

- She gets cravings.

- Pomegranates, grapefruits, nectarines.

- She's ordering a fruit cocktail.

- Come on, think. Peaches!

- Peaches...? Peaches!

- The baby! What, what, what now...!

- This not good. - The babies coming.

- Can you try to hold it in!

- Can somebody slap him for me?

- Just sit tight, we're coming!

- There's only one thing to do.

Possums, your with me. Manny you

take care of, Ellie until we get back.

What? No you can't leave now.

She's off the trail.

What about rule number 2?

Rule number 5 says, you can ignore

rule number 2, if there's a female involved.

Or possibly a cute dog. I just

make up these rules as I go along.

Yeah, but, but, but...

she's... you have to.

- Manny, it's alright. I got your back.

- Now your talking. Come on, lads.

- Take care of our sister. Mr.

- No pressure.

What does that mean, "I've got your back?".

I'd rather they cover the front.

- That's where all the good stuff is.

- We gotta move.

Okay! Alright. It's okay.

Daddy's, daddy's coming.

I gotta say sweet heart,

you really got timing...

Go away! Go away! Shoo!

Afraid of danger! Afraid of danger!

Don't worry, it's just lava. Deadly,

Violent lava!

- Boys! Are you ready for adventure?

- Yes, sir!

- For danger?

- Yes, sir!

- For death!

- Uhh, can you repeat the question?

That's right, come on!

- Have you ever flown one of these before?

- No, first time actually.

- There she is.

- Ellie! - Manny!

- I need to get to her.

- Listen, I'll protect, Ellie. You stop those guys.

Manny, if they reach her, it'll

be to late. You have to trust me.

Alright, let's do it.

My paws are burning baby. They

burning, I gotta, tip-Toe. Tip-Toe, Tip-Toe.

- Excuse me, twinkle toes. Giving birth here.

- Oh right, sorry. You okay.

Am I okay? Do you know

anything about, child birth?

No, not really, but Manny's coming..

- Diego, I'm scared? Can I hold your paw.

- Yeah, of course...

Just go with the pain.

It's just a contraction.

- Look! He's right there. - Roger.

- No, Sid. - I know, Roger!

How bout we get, Sid first. And then

go back for, Roger. - Oh, never mind.

Oh, Buck.

- Wait! Wait, Sid's that way!

- Tell that to them.

Bring it on, you chicken headed freaks!

Don't worry about a thing.

You're doing fine.

It's going great.

Ah, excuse me.

- Just keep breathing.

- Diego!

Just breathe, that's the important thing.

Grab that ammo.

- Bogey at 3'o clock.

- Fire!

This is awesome!

Light it up!

- Yeah!

- Hasta la vista, birdie.

Let's get our...

Mayday! Mayday! We're

losing altitude! Hold these.

- That tastes like fish.

- Okay. That's just weird.

- I love you, bro!

- I know!

- Snap out of it, come on! Pull!

- This is the end of, Sid the sloth.

- Help!

- No, Sid. It's me. - And me!

I don't want to panic anybody,

but who's flying this thing?

No, no, wait, my kids!

I never even got to say goodbye.

- You can do it. Push! Push!

- I can't do it.

Just one more big push.

You have no idea what I'm going through.

Okay forget I said that. Let's do this together.

- I liked you guys better, when you were extinct.

- Oh, I'm getting dizzy.

Manny. Come on buddy.

I think we're getting close.

She's perfect.

I think we should call her, Ellie.

- Little, Ellie...

- I've got a better name... Peaches.

Peaches?

Why not? She's sweet, and round,

and covered with furs.

I love it.

I saw that, tough guy.

No, no, that last dino

caught my eye with a claw and...

- Alright, so I'm not made of stone.

- Incoming!

It's Sid!

Oh, It's a boy!

- That's it's tail.

- It's a girl.

Hi, sweetheart.

It's uncle Sid... Yes it is.

Oh, you're so beautiful.

Oh, she is...

She looks just like her mother.

Thank goodness.

Oh, no offence, Manny, No offence.

You're beautiful on the inside.

It's good to have you back, Sid.

Never thought I would say

this, but... I missed you buddy.

Now I wish my kids were here.

You could have been friends.

Ellie!

- I promised myself I wouldn't cry.

- I didn't.

I forgot what it was like

to be part of a family.

What about you? Ever

thought about having kids?

Alright, mammal's. Let's get you home.

This is it, mammal's. Right where

you started. This was fun.

- We could make it a regular thing.

- I don't know about that.

Right, Right. Yes cos' of all

the uh, mortal peril. Of-Course.

- Oh, well, the Buck stops here!

- We couldn't have done it without you.

Well obviously. But, good

times just the same...

We're not alone, are we?

Hello, Rudy.

Run!

Over here you colossal, fossil!

Looking for something?

Why don't you come and

get it? To the cave! Go!

- Stay with the baby.

- We'll be fine. Go!

Wuss!

Pop, Goes the weasel!

Shoo, shoo! Come on! Move!

Diego... Catch!

Through the hole, over the

valley. One more loop. - Come on lads, heev!

Better luck next time, snowflake. This isn't

Gonna hold him long. Let's go.

Hold up, guys!

Way to go, mom-Zilla!

Come here, kids. Well let me tell you

something. You're where you belong now.

And I'm sure you're gonna grow

up to be giant, horrifying dinosaurs.

Just like your mother.

Momma...
