Ice Age

Well, why not call it the Big Chill or the Nippy era?

I'm just sayin', how do we know

it's an Ice age?

Because of all the ice.

Well, things just got a little chillier.

Help. Help.

Come on, kids, let's go. The traffic's movin'.

But, but, but, Dad.

No buts. You can play extinction later.

Okay. Come on, guys.

So, where's Eddie?

He said he was on the verge

of an evolutionary breakthrough.

Really?

I'm flying.

Some breakthrough.

- Look out.

- You're going the wrong way.

Crazy mammoth.

Do the world a favor.

Move your issues off the road!

If my trunk was that small,

I wouldn't draw attention to myself, pal.

Give me a break.

We've been waddlin' all day.

Go ahead. Follow the crowd.

It'll be quieter when you're gone.

Come on. If he wants to

freeze to death, let him.

I'm up. I'm up.

Rise and shine, everybody.

Huh? Zak? Marshall?

Bertie? Uncle Fungus?

Where is everybody? Come on, guys,

we're gonna miss the migration.

They left without me.

They do this every year.

Why? Doesn't anyone love me?

Isn't there anyone who cares

about Sid the Sloth?

All right, I'll just go by myself.

Sick.

Wide body, kerb it next time.

Oh, jeez. Yuck.

I can't believe it. Fresh wild greens.

Frank, where did you ever...?

- Go ahead. Dig in.

- A dandelion.

- I thought the frost wiped 'em all out.

- All but one.

It makes me so... I wanna... Yuck.

This has definitely not been my day.

You know what I'm sayin', buddy?

What a mess. You rhinos

have tiny brains. Did you know that?

It's just a fact. No offence. You probably

didn't even know what I'm talkin' about.

Yummo.

A dandelion. Must be

the last one of the season.

- Carl.

- Easy, Frank.

He ruined our salad.

My mistake. That was my mistake. Let me...

No, no, seriously, let me

take care of this. What is this?

Pine cones. Oh, my goodness.

They're my favorite.

Delicious. That's good eating.

But don't let me hog them all up.

Here, you have some.

Tasty, isn't it? Bon apptit.

Now?

Now.

Hey!

Just pretend that I'm not here.

Oh, man! I wanted to hit him at full speed.

That's okay, Frank.

We'll have some fun with him.

Don't let them impale me, please.

I wanna live!

Get off me.

Come on, you're makin' a scene.

We'll just take our furry piata and go.

If it's not them today,

it's someone else tomorrow.

Well, I'd rather it not be today. okay?

We'll break your neck

so you don't feel a thing.

Wait a minute. I thought

rhinos were vegetarians.

- An excellent point.

- Shut up.

Who says we're gonna eat him

after we kill him?

I don't like animals that kill for pleasure.

- Save it for a mammal that cares.

- I'm a mammal that cares.

Okay, if either of you make it

across that sinkhole in front of you,

you get the sloth.

That's right, you losers.

You take one step and you're dead!

- You were bluffing, huh?

- Yeah. Yeah, that was a bluff.

Get him!

Whoo-hoo!

A dandelion?

Whoo-hoo! We did it! We did...

Wh-what?

- You have beautiful eyes.

- Get off my face.

Whoa, we make a great team.

What do you say we head south together?

Great. Jump on my back

and relax the whole way.

- Wow, really?

- No.

Wait, aren't you going south?

The change of seasons, migration instincts.

- Any of this a-ringin' a bell?

- I guess not. Bye.

Okay, then. Thanks for the help.

I can take it from here.

You overgrown weasel.

Wait till we get down there.

That south thing is way overrated.

The heat, the crowds - who needs it?

Isn't this great? You and me,

two bachelors knockin' about in the wild.

No, you just want a bodyguard

so you don't become somebody's side dish.

You're a very shrewd mammal.

OK, lead the way, Mr. Big...

Didn't get the name.

- Manfred.

- Manfred? Yuck.

How about Manny the Moody Mammoth?

Or Manny the Melancholy... Manny the...

Stop following me.

OK, so you've got issues. You won't

even know I'm here. I'll just zip the lip.

Look at the cute little baby, Diego.

- Isn't it nice he'll be joining us for breaktast?

- It wouldn't be breaktast without him.

Especially since his daddy wiped out half

our pack and wears our skin to keep warm.

An eye for an eye, don't you think?

Let's show him what happens

when he messes with sabres.

Alert the troops. We attack at dawn.

And, Diego, bring me that baby alive.

If I'm gonna enjoy my revenge,

I want it to be fresh.

Phew. I'm wiped out.

- That's your shelter?

- You're a big guy. You got a lotta wood.

- I'm a little guy.

- You got half a stick.

But with my little stick and my highly

evolved brain, I shall create fire.

Fascinating.

We'll see if brains triumph

over brawn tonight. Now, won't we?

Hey. Think I saw a spark.

Any chance I could squeeze

in there with you, Manny, ol' pal?

Oh, isn't there someone else

you can annoy?

Friends? Family? Poisonous reptiles?

My family abandoned me.

They just kinda migrated without me.

You should see what they did last year.

They woke up early and

tied my hands and feet

and they gagged me with a fieldmouse,

covered their tracks, went

through water so I'd lose their scent,

and... who needs 'em, anyway?

So what about you? You have family?

OK, you're tired. I see.

We'll talk more in the morning.

Manfred? Manfred?

Could you scooch over a drop?

Come on. Nobody falls asleep that fast.

Manny!

There's Diego. Fall back.

- Where's the baby?

- I lost it over the falls.

You lost it?

- I want that baby, Diego.

- I'll get it.

You'd better, unless you want to

serve as a replacement.

We'll go up to Half Peak. Meet us there.

It had better be alive.

Can we trust you with that, Diego?

Let's go.

She picked a hair off my shoulder and says,

"If you have an extra mating dance,

"at least pick a female

with the same color pelt. "

I thought "Whoa. She's gonna go

praying mantis on me. "

If you find a mate, you should be loyal.

In your case, grateful.

- Now get away from me.

- I think mating for life is stupid.

There's plenty of Sid to go around.

Manny?

Manny?

Look at that. He's okay.

She's gone.

- Manny, are you forgetting something?

- No.

- But you just saved him.

- I'm trying to get rid of the last thing I saved.

But you can't leave him here.

Look, there's smoke.

That's his herd right up the hill.

- We should return him.

- Let's get this straight. There is no "we".

There never was a "we". In fact,

without me, there wouldn't even be a "you".

- Just up the hill.

- Listen very carefully: I'm not going.

- Fine, be ajerk. I'll take care of him.

- Yeah, that's good.

You can't even take care of yourself.

This, I gotta see.

I'll return you. We don't need

that meany-weeny mammoth, do we?

No, we don't.

You're an embarrassment to nature.

Do you know that?

This is cake. I'm fine, I'm fine.

I'm gonna die.

Manny.

- That pink thing is mine.

- No. Actually, that pink thing belongs to us.

"Us"? You two are a bit of an odd couple.

There is no "us".
