Uh, but who's out there?

They'll come right at you. You

hold your ground. Don't move.

Don't move? What if they

have claws and big teeth?

Don't overthink it.

(CLEARS THROAT AND GULPS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SQUEAKING WEAKLY)

(SQUEAKING WEAKLY)

(SCREAMING)

-Howdy.

-(SCREAMS)

(GROWLING)

-What are you up to, boy?

-(STUTTERING) Nothing.

Nothing? Oh! What's your name?

(STUTTERING) Uh, Arlo.

Well, (STUTTERING) Arlo,

you don't look like you're doing nothing.

What's he look like

he's doing to you, Lurleane?

Oh, come on, Bubbha. Ask me.

Ask me what I think they're doing.

Pervis, shut your mouth!

(WHIMPERS)

Ah, looks like he's trespassing.

And what do we do with trespassers?

Tell them, Earl.

We kill them!

-(ROARING)

-(GASPS)

I got you!

(LONGHORNS BELLOWING)

Nash, the herd! Yah! Yah!

Yah! Giddy up. Come

on now. Giddy up! Yah!

Watch out!

Nobody steals our longhorns.

Finders keepers.

Yee-ha!

Come on now.

Momma wants to play with you.

I know you're there.

I can smell you.

(ARLO GRUNTING)

Oh.

Oh, shoot! That's my favorite tooth!

I'm gonna love ending you!

(BOTH SHRIEKING)

-(RUSTLERS EXCLAIMING)

-(GROWLING)

(ALL ROARING)

(ARLO YELLING)

Come on, we got to drive

this herd out of here.

Yah! Come on now.

Aren't you the cutest?

You and that critter

showed real grit today.

We could use that critter.

How about we trade?

I'll give you my harmonica for him.

Thanks, but Spot ain't for trading.

Come here, Spot. Come here.

Your loss.

That's a good one.

Gonna scar up real good.

That's nothing. Look at this!

I run into 15 outlaw stegos.

They're all bigger than

me and meaner than me.

What happened?

Fought 'em off, of

course. Was winning, too.

Then one gets his dang spikey tail

stuck in my foot and pulls!

Whoa. Still can't feel my toes.

Which comes in handy

when you're kicking piles of bull...

She's jealous.

Jealous? Ha!

Once a stampede of longhorns

was coming right at me,

but my tail was stuck between

a rock and a hard place.

I was dead for sure.

So I chewed the dang thing off!

Who does that?

Nobody does that!

You're crazy!

I'm surprised you don't have one

right across your face.

Butch, how'd you get your scar?

I don't know if you're

ready for that story.

I can take it.

Oh, yeah. You got to tell him, Pa!

That's a good one!

It was 100 degrees in the shade.

I walked for five days with no water.

Then I saw it. A pretty pond.

I bent down to take a drink,

when these crocs

launched out of the water.

One croc bit me on the face.

Ain't no way I wasn't its

supper except for one thing,

I wasn't ready for dying that day.

I bit one croc in half,

tail-whipped the other,

and the last one...

Well, I drowned that

croc in my own blood.

-Whoa.

-BOTH:
Dang!

Ooh! Look, look, gives me

little goosies every time.

I love that story!

Show him your souvenir.

Ain't that just too good?

Can I touch it this time?

No.

Huh. You guys would have

liked my poppa.

He wasn't scared of anything.

(SIGHS) I'm done being scared.

Who said I'm not scared?

But you took on a croc!

And I was scared doing it.

If you ain't scared of a

croc biting you on the face,

you ain't alive. Listen, kid,

you can't get rid of fear.

It's like Mother Nature,

you can't beat her or outrun her,

but you can get through it.

You can find out what you're made of.

The first snow.

It's early this year.

And I got to get home to Momma.

We'll get you to that watering hole.

A deal's a deal. At

first light, we ride.

-Let's go!

-Yah!

Hey, kid, head 'em off

before those longhorns split.

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING)

(TAIL LASHING)

(CHUCKLES) Yah!

There it is!

Clawtooth Mountain!

There's home!

BOTH:
Whoo-whee!

We've got to drive this herd

down south.

You hurry on back to your momma.

And don't stop for nothing!

Thanks! I sure appreciate you

looking out for me!

You'll be all right. You're one tough kid.

(LAUGHS)

Oh!

(GRUNTS)

(LAUGHING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

(BOTH HOWLING)

Whoa!

SPOT:
Whoo-hoo!

(SPOT LAUGHING)

(SPOT LAUGHING)

Wow.

(SNIFFS)

We need to get home.

ARLO:
You're gonna love it, Spot.

You'll have a warm place to sleep.

Right next to me.

And all the corn you can eat.

There's lots of space to run around.

It'll be your farm, too.

We'll all look after it together.

I can't.

(GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

Poppa?

Poppa?

You're alive?

(STUTTERING)

I can't believe it. It's you.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

My friend! Spot!

He helped me and now he's in trouble.

We have to go back.

Poppa, stop.

Stop!

Poppa?

You're not here.

I'm scared.

But Spot needs me.

I blamed him for what happened to you,

but it wasn't his fault.

So I got to go help him.

(SNIFFLES)

Because I love him.

I knew you had it in you.

You're me and more.

Now go take care of that critter.
