Ice Age: The Meltdown Page #3

Good point! Thanks for the advice!

Happy to help!

Do you believe her?,

"Bravery is just dumb!

Maybe you should just run away more, "

Shes infuriating

and stubborn and narrow-minded!

You like her,

I do not!

Dont worry; your secret is safe with me!

- Oh, and so is yours,

- What secret?

You know,

, the one where you can't swim

Thats ridiculous!

Fine, but we're

living in a melting world buddy!

Youre gonna have

to face your fears, sooner, or later

Ok! Ready Eddie?

Set! Lets roll!

Wait for me!!

Dont wait, gotta roll,

meet you at the other end!

So, you think she's girl for me?

Oh, yeah. She's tons of fun,

and you are no fun at all!

She completes you!

Yeah, yeah!!

Hey! Hey, Manny!

Can you pull back the tree,

- and shoot me in the pond?

- No!

Aw, come on,

Now. how do you expect

to impress Ellie with that attitude?!

- I don't wanna impress her!

- Then why are you trying so hard to,

, convince her that she's a mammoth?

Because, that's what she is!!

I don't care

if she thinks she's a possum,

You can't be two things!

On contraire, my, friend!

Tell that to the bullfrog,

the chicken hawk or turtle-dove!

He's never gonna let up on you!

It'll be easier if you just go with it!

So, what you want me to do?

Pull back the tree,

, and shoot me into the pond!

I don't know,

Well, if you are too lame to do it,

- we can get Ellie.

- No, no, no, no,

I can do it, I can do it!

Yeah, yeah. Come on. come on!

Have you done this before?

Ha! Only a million times!

Farther, farther, farther,

Perfect, !

Fire!

I can fly, !

I believe I can fly,

Crash!!

Crash, Crash!!

Crash, you ok? What happened?

Manny shot him out of the tree!

Whats wrong with you?

He said he could do it!!

, and you listened to him!

Crash, whatever you do,

don't go into the light!

Can I help in anyway here?

You've done enough!

Are you happy now?

Crash, Crash, don't leave me!

Who's gonna watch my back?

Whos gonna be my wee man of mayhem?

Whos gonna

roll in that dung patch with me?!!

Dung patch?!

Wait, ! My legs, !

I can stand!

- He can stand!

- I can run!

- He can run! Its a miracle!

Hallelujah!

What can I say?, They're boys,

, they make

my life a little adventure!

You guys are so dead!

She's not half bad,

crazy and confused, but,

Sweet!

So?

So whats holding you back?

My family

You can have that again, you know,

No, Sid. I can't!

Ok, ok. But, but, but, think about it!

I mean if you let this chance go,

you're just letting your whole species

go! And that's just, that's just,

, selfish!

I think

I'm starting to get through to him!

Wait, wait! I got you!

Need help?

No, no! Just catching my breath,

- You're stuck.

- I am not!

Alright then, lets go,

I can't,

I'm stuck!

Don't you think that,

picking them up like this,

would be easier?

Ellie?

I know this place,

You know,

deep down, I knew I was different,

I was a little

bigger than the other possum kids,

Ok, a lot bigger!

Oh! Now I

understand why the possum boys,

didn't find me appealing!

Thats too bad,

Because, as far as mammoths go, you're,

- you know, !

- What?

Attractive!

Really?

- Sure,

- What about me is attractive?

Well, I don't know,

well, there's you're, uh,

butt?

What about it?

Its,

big?

Oh, you're just saying that!

No, no,

No, I mean it! It's huge, !

biggest darn butt I've ever seen,

Oh, that is really sweet!

What a crazy day!

This morning I woke up a possum,

and now, I'm a mammoth!

Boy, Manny

sure took a big leap with Ellie today,

- He sure did.

- Yup

He stood on the shore of uncertainty,

and dove right in, Splash!!

Kind of brave, huh, ?

the way he faced his, fear!

I wouldnt know,

Sabre's don't feel fear!

Oh, come on! All animals feel fear,

Its what separates us from safe!

Rocks! Rocks have no fear,

and they sink!

What are you getting at, Sid?

It may surprise you to know that I too,

have experienced, fear!

- No! You?

- Oh, yes!

As impossible as it seems,

the sloth

has natural enemies that would like to,

harm, or otherwise,

kill us!

I wonder why!

Oh, jealousy mostly. But the point is,

that fear is natural!

Fear, is for prey!

Well then,

You're letting the water make you,

it's prey!

Just jump in and trust your instincts!

You know,

most animals can swim as babies,

and for a tiger,

Its like crawling on your belly,

to stalk helpless prey!

Put that hunt on, ok?!

Now, claw, kick, claw, kick,

I'm stalking the prey!

Claw, kick, now,

I look back over my shoulder,

to see if I am being followed,

and Im breathing!

and I'm stalking and I'm stalking,

I am falling,

Correction! You're sinking,

kind of like a rock!

Hey, do we do any special tricks like,

roll over? Or do we just,

throw our weight around?

Sorry,

I don't know my own strength yet!

Ellie, do you realise that,

now

we have a chance to save our species?

Really? How are we going to do that?

Well, you know,

-Oh! Uh, uh! Did you just?!

-No,

- I didn't mean.

- I'm not a mammoth for five minutes,

, and you're hittin' on me?

I wasn't saying,

not right now. I'm,

in time, !

I was just saying that its,

our responsibility,

- What?!

- That came out wrong!

You're very pretty,

But, we just met,

Responsibility, ?!

Just doing your duty, huh? Is that it?

Ready to make the ultimate sacrifice,

to save your species!

Well, I got some news for you, !

You not saving the species tonight,

or any other night!

So, how did it go?

Hmm! Not bad,

Ok, lets go!

We travelled with you all day,

now you coming with us at night!

but we can't see at night

Then enjoy, the flood!

I can't even look at him!

Pervert!

Making friends,

everywhere you go! Just making friends!

Watch out, there's a stump!

Not anymore,

I thought we could walk together

Crash, ask the man why he thinks that?

She said she thinks you are a jerk,

and to go away!

She didn't say, Ow!

Look! Maybe if we spend more time,

Tell him that I need

a little personal space right here!

She said, go jump in a lake,

and possums rule!

I can hear her, you know?

What do you want? A medal?

Stop moving!

Thank you!

Manny, Ellie! Lock trunks, !

Now!

Crash, Eddie! Grab onto that ledge!

Funny! And now, what's your real plan?

Just do it!!

- Bye Eddie

- Bye Crash

- Bye Ellie

- Go now!

I'm sorry,

if what l said before offended you!

What do you mean 'if' it offended me?

"That" it offended her, !

"That" it offended her!!

I mean "that", "That" it offended you, !

You just overreacted, that's all,

What?! Take it back!

There are other lives at stake here!

Wait a minute! He's got a point!

Hes got nothing!

- It was a misunderstanding!

- It was insensitive!

Apologize!

Why me? She overreacted, !

Just apologize!!

- No!

- Do it!

Ok, I'm sorry!

What?!

He's right. I overreacted

You mean, you, ?

Not another word or Ill come down there

, and push you over myself!

Oh Oh!

Manny! Ellie! Run!

I guess

we finally did something right together!
