Dinosaur (2000 film)/Transcript

(The movie opens with the logos as the scene cuts to black and fades up to a baby Iguanodon inside the egg with the sound of heartbeats as the logo "Walt Disney Pictures presents" fades up while a baby Iguanodon snuffles and swims inside the egg until a female Iguanodon shows up after the text comes up: "In Association with Spyglass Entertainment.)
Plio: (narrating) Some things start out big, and some things start out small, very small. (A baby Iguanodon opens its eye and gurgles) But sometimes the smallest thing can make the biggest changes of all.
(The camera pans back to the nest of Iguanodon eggs while the text comes up: "An Amblin Entertainment Production" and then the title fades up: "Dinosaur". A female Iguanodon softly pats her egg and she looks at her eggs and hears the sounds of Ichthyornis squawking and flying around up from the trees. A female Iguanodon uses her hand to move her egg at the edge of the nest. Then a baby Parasaurolophus tries to sniff the egg but a female Iguanodon swats at it and makes it shriek. A baby Parasaurolophus tries it again until a female Iguanodon scares it away and it runs off. A baby Parasaurolophus tries to take a look at the other Iguanodon eggs but the other female Iguanodon scares it away. A baby Parasaurolophus chases a flock of Ichthyornis where they fly away to the sky until it sees a Longisquama landing on a log. It goes to a Longisquama who looks at a dragonfly as he catches it with a tongue and devours it. A Longisquama sees a baby Parasaurolophus and it flies into the forest as he tries to catch it up until a Longisquama lands on a big branch and then a Carnotaurus' chest. A Carnotaurus exhales and snuffles as two drool drops land on a big branch. A baby Parasaurolophus looks at it and then a Carnotaurus wakes up growling softly with a mouth of drool. A baby Parasaurolophus comes out of the forest and runs away shrieking. The herd hears a baby Parasaurolophus shrieking as a Pachyrhinosaurus grunts and then a Carnotaurus breaks itself free from the forest as he chases after a baby Parasaurolophus where it cries out meekly twice. A Carnotaurus growls and then a baby Parasaurolophus flees itself like a coward while a Carnotaurus chases after the herd and crushes the Iguanodon eggs but one after he roars ferociously. It runs closer to a Pachyrhinosaurus overheated from running while panting. Then a Carnotaurus eats a Pachyrhinosaurus alive as it shrieks while a Carnotaurus grunts. The scene cuts to a footprint of a Carnotaurus where an Iguanodon egg still stands after a Carnotaurus eats a Pachyrhinosaurus and roars triumphantly. Suddenly, an Oviraptor comes closer to the egg chittering and trilling as he looks at it where it shakes a little bit and snatches it. An Oviraptor runs off into the forest as he jumps onto a log and runs over it like a bridge. He makes it to the cliff as he tries to crack it open but the egg seems unbreakable. He tries to eat it as he hears something cracking and trills. Another Oviraptor grabs an Iguanodon egg as an Oviraptor shrieks. Two Oviraptors growl and snort as they fight over the Iguanodon egg where it falls into the water. They see it and fight each other again. In the underwater, an Iguanodon egg drowns as a Labyrinthodont tries to swallow the egg but coughs it up and floats. At the surface, a pair of Talarurus snorts and growls at each other as they see an Iguanodon egg where it floats and flows away down the stream. One Talarurus sniffs as two of them resume their growling. In the underwater, an egg still flows as a herd of Pachyrhinosaurus drinks water as two of them growl while one tries to drink water, but the other pushes one and makes the egg jump. A Pteranodon squawks picks up an egg with its beak as it flies to a waterfall and dives. The scene goes to a waterfall as a Pteranodon flies past the camera. The scene cuts to a Pteranodon where it flies over the cliff and the herd as it flies underneath a Brontosaurus. The scene fades up to a Pteranodon where it flies to Lemur Island and then to a nest of two Pteranodon babies chirping as it flies higher and past the nest until it becomes swarmed with two Ichthyornis in the middle of a thunderstorm where they try to take the egg but a Pteranodon accidentally drops the egg and it falls into the camera. The scene changes to a flock of lemurs chittering and hiding in their trees while the thunder cracks as the lemurs whisper indistinctly. Plio peeks the leaf and sees the egg and crawls on the patch of moss.)
Young Zini: Yar, what is it?
Yar: I don't know. (Plio goes to the egg as he grunts) Plio, get back here! We don't know what it is!
Female Lemur: Plio, be careful.
(Yar and young Zini exhale slowly as Plio comes closer while the thunder flashes and reveals a baby Iguanodon inside. An Iguanodon egg shell cracks as Plio gasps and opens the egg as she recognizes the baby Iguanodon.)
Plio: Dad, get over here.
Yar: (he goes to Plio after Zini was about to see the egg) Zini, it's not safe.
Young Zini: Oh, I always have to go when stuff's happening.
(Yar harrumphs and crawls to Plio.)
Yar: Well, what is it?
Plio: It was an egg. (turns around and shows a baby Iguanodon named Aladar to Yar) Look!
Yar: (gasps)
Plio: What?
Yar: It's a cold-blooded monster, from across the sea. Vicious, flesh-eating! (baby Aladar burps) Eurgh.
Plio: Looks like a baby to me.
Yar: Babies grow up. You keep that thing, one day, we'll turn our backs, it'll be picking us out of its teeth! (A group of lemurs gasps) Things like that eat things like us as snacks!
Plio: So, what do we do?
Yar: Get rid of it!
Plio: What has gotten into you?
Yar: Plio, that thing is dangerous!
Plio: (sighs deeply) I'm sorry, little one. (handles baby Aladar over to Yar) Okay, get rid of it.
Yar: (gasps)
Plio: (harrumphs)
Yar: All right. I will.
(Yar lifts baby Aladar over the edge of the branch, preparing to drop the dinosaur baby to his death. All the other lemurs are watching him. Instead of dropping baby Aladar, Yar hesitates, muttering to himself as though trying to will himself to do his job.)
Plio: (sarcastically) You better hurry up, Dad. It looks hungry.
Yar: (harrumphs)
(Yar looks at baby Aladar. Baby Aladar gurgles and looks at Yar with droopy eyelids and then he yawns. Yar stammers indecisively, trying hand not to be overcome with tenderness for the baby dinosaur. Then, he closes his eyes and grunts, defeated. Yar hears a strange sound and opens his eyes to see that baby Aladar urinates on him.)
Yar: Hmm. (handles baby Aladar back to Plio) Here.
Plio: (smiles) It's okay, we'll teach him to hate meat.
Yar: (harrumphs) Watch his head! (stops at lemurs to baby Aladar) I-I mean, watch it. He could bite. (he walks away from a patch of moss)
Young Zini: (about Aladar as a baby) This monster's got no teeth. What's he gonna do? Gum us to death?
Plio: Zini, come on, look at that sweet, little face. Does that look like a monster to you?
(The scene cuts to the forest as the lemur kids scream and are chased by a grown-up Aladar who plays monster until he eats Suri and sucks her tail. Two lemur kids land on a patch of moss as Aladar approaches them slowly while he growls maliciously and snarls softly then a lemur kid shudders.)
Suri: (inside Aladar's mouth) Let me out! Let me out!
(Aladar chokes on Suri and then he spits her out.)
Aladar: (coughs) Hair ball. (spits)
Suri: That was great! Get him!
(The lemur kids laugh and jump on Aladar's back.)
Aladar: Oh, no! Attacking lemurs! Suri, please! I can't take it! There are too many of you! Come on! Pick on someone your own size! Help!
(Plio sees Aladar who's being attacked by lemur kids and chuckles.)
Aladar: Oh, no... (groans)
(Aladar plays dead and wheezes.)
Suri: Aladar, you're not dead.
Aladar: (wakes up and scares the lemur kids) No! (laughs)
Plio: All right, guys, break it up. Remember the courtship? You gonna miss seeing all that smooching. 
Suri: Oh, Mom.
Aladar: That's okay, Plio. We can smooch right here! (kisses)
(The lemur kids hop away from each other.)
Plio: (chuckles sarcastically) It's a shame you don't like kids.
Aladar: (grunts) Nasty little vermin.
Plio: Ha-ha. Go find Zini. He's rehearing pickup lines. Let's hope he's find found some new material.
(The scene cuts to Zini who stands on the rock at the beach.)
Zini: "Hey, sweetie. If you'll be my bride, I'll groom ya." That is good. Oh, that's good. Girls, I'm known as the professor of love, and school's in session. (wheezing laugh) Yeah, I still got it. (exhales)
Aladar: I hope it's not contagious.
Zini: I'm a raging epidemic of romance.
Aladar: (chuckles) Come on, hot stuff. Let's get going. You don't wanna miss Yar's annual pep talk.
Zini: Oh, goody. I can't wait to hear the mating advice of an old monkey.
Aladar: Hey, hey, hey, I heard that in this day, that old monkey was quite a swinger.
Zini: You talkin' about Yar?
Aladar: Yeah, to hear him tell it, he put the "prime" in "primate".
Yar: Really?
(The scene cuts to the courtship trees at sunset as Yar and Plio give mating advice to the male and female lemurs.)
Yar: Okay, boys, gather 'round. Listen and learn from the master.
Plio: Now, girls, don't jump into the trees after the first boy with a cute back flip. It's more fun if you keep them guessing.
Yar: And if a cute back flip doesn't work, guess.
Plio: You're never going to forget this day, so make it one to remember.
Yar: But if you mess up, don't worry. They'll never remember.
Aladar: Come on, guys! We don't wanna let them down!
Yar: Go on, now. Chest up! Chin up!
Male Lemur: Whoo!
Yar: Make 'em look good, son.
Aladar: Come on, Yar. My charm and your brains? No problem.
(Yar laughs as Aladar approaches the courtship trees and bellows twice.)
Aladar: Hey, girls, look what just pulled into town.
Male Lemur: Hey, ladies!
Aladar: Your buffet table of love.
(The female lemurs laugh.)
Male Lemur 1: Right here, right here!
Male Lemur 2: Hey, beautiful!
Zini: Hey, free samples! Get me while I'm hot!
(Zini grabs Aladar's tail, rides on it and laughs sheepishly.)
Suri: Zini.
(The male lemurs jump to the top of the tree while Zini catches up. All the lemurs yip and howl which includes Suri, Zini and Yar as Aladar bellows. Zini jumps excitedly and falls into a branch as he mutters.)
Suri: (chuckles)
(All the male lemurs jump across and swing on the vines. Aladar picks up a branch with Zini in it.)
Aladar: You're missing all the action, pal. Come on.
Zini: Hey, haven't you heard? I am the action!
(Aladar swings the branch to set Zini free as Zini swings on the vine. The female lemurs laugh and chitter as they climb up the vines while they hold flowers in their mouths. All the lemurs jump across the other vines and swing on them. Zini feels depressed after the other lemurs climb up the courtship trees. Aladar sighs and walks to Zini.)
Aladar: Ah, don't worry, Zini. You always have next year.
Zini: Hey, I'm lucky to be rid of them. With the ladies, before you know it, they all wanna move to a bigger tree.
Aladar: (chuckles)
Yar: Oh, well. Poor Zini. The clan still has one bachelor.
Plio: No. We have two.
(Plio walks to Aladar who places his head down to the patch of grass and Zini walks.)
Plio: Well, it's never really been his best event.
Aladar: (chuckles) He's got a tougher hide than mine.
Plio: Oh, Aladar. If only there was someone on the island for you. Well, you know, who looks like you, but prettier.
Aladar: Oh, come on, Plio. What more could I want?
(Suddenly, the meteor shower appears in the sky.)
Aladar: Whoa!
(Aladar walks to see what happens and Suri hops on Aladar.)
Suri: What are they?
Aladar: I don't know.
(Suri climbs to the top of the tree as the meteors hiss. The other lemurs watch in awe. A flock of Ichthyornis fly away while they squawk.)
Yar: (sniffing)
Plio: Dad?
Yar: (sniffs) Something's wrong.
Plio: (to Aladar) Aladar, where's Suri?
Aladar: She's up in the tree.
(Aladar and the lemurs see a giant meteor that plunges down the sky and hits the earth. Aladar and the lemurs feel surprised as the shockwave hits Lemur Island twice.)
Plio: Come on! (Yar runs) Go, go! Come on!
Suri: Mom!
Plio: Suri!
Suri: Mom! Mom!
Aladar: Suri?
Suri: Mom!
Aladar: Suri, where are you?!
(Plio climbs to the tree, takes Suri and lands on Aladar.)
Plio: Run, Aladar! Run, run!
(The meteors land on the water and the island as the monster cloud eats everything. The scene cuts to the lemurs who run away from the meteors as Aladar runs away from them.)
Lemurs: (screaming)
Yar: (grunts)
Aladar: (picks up Yar) Yar, come on!
(Zini runs away from the meteors while he pants.)
Plio: Zini, jump! Jump!
Aladar: Zini, jump!
Zini: (jumps on Aladar's side and grunts)
Plio: Hold on!
(Aladar continues to run away from the meteors as a meteor lands close as Aladar falls onto the ground and he yells.)
Aladar: (panting heavily)
(Aladar runs to the cliff as he sees water while the rocks fall down. The monster cloud destroys the courtship trees as Aladar looks at the monster cloud and gasps and he jumps into the water.)
Aladar: (yells)
(Aladar swims up and out of the water.)
Aladar: (coughing) Plio, Yar! Where are you? (coughs)
Plio: Aladar, over here!
(Aladar sees Plio, Yar, Zini, and Suri on the big branch as he swims faster and he walks to the shore with rocks while he breathes heavily as he lies down.)
Yar: (coughing)
(Aladar sees the trees on fire and the island devastated and he sighs. Suri walks to the island and she howls twice as Aladar bellows.)
Aladar: (panting)
Suri: (softly) I feel bad. I feel bad.
Plio: (hugs Suri) Oh, Suri. Easy, easy.
Suri: (cries) They're all gone.
Plio: Shh, shh. I'm here. I'm here.
Suri: (whimpers)
Aladar: Come on. We can't stay here.
(The lemurs look up on Aladar as they ride onto his back. Aladar looks up at the flock of Ichthyornis as survivors. Aladar walks to the desert across from the volcanos. In the morning, the wind howls as Aladar walks through the canyons while Suri cries softly.)
Yar: (comforts Suri) Now, now, Suri. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Zini: Look!
Yar: (gasps)
Aladar: Whoa!
(A Velociraptor walks off after it squawks and chitters.)
Aladar: Did you see that?
Yar: What?
Zini: I did.
Suri: Me, too.
Plio: Where did it go?
Aladar: I don't know. Let's go see.
Yar: Leave it alone. (Plio hits him) Hey!
Plio: Shh, Dad.
Yar: It's scaring Suri.
Suri: No, it's not.
Aladar: Everyone, just be quiet.
(Aladar walks down as he sees a Velociraptor who eats the flesh off its left foot.)
Velociraptor: (chittering)
(A Velociraptor sees Aladar after it snorts. Two Velociraptors growl ferociously. Suddenly, another Velociraptor squawks as the herd of Velociraptors squawk and surround Aladar. A Velociraptor lands on the rock as Aladar gasps and then a Velociraptor purrs and roars as Aladar gasps and the lemurs scream.)
Velociraptors: (growling, squawking)
(Aladar backs up as a Velociraptor growls and tries to eat Aladar up. Aladar lifts his foot up and a Velociraptor hits a rock as Aladar runs away from the Velociraptors during the sandstorm while the Velociraptors chase after Aladar. One Velociraptor claws Aladar's side and eats it.)
Aladar: (cries out)
(Another Velociraptor tries to eat Yar but Yar almost falls off as Zini holds onto Yar's hand.)
Zini: Yar, grab on!
Yar: (panting) I can't reach!
(Zini pulls Yar up after a third Velociraptor tries to eat Yar but fails as it lets go of Aladar. The Velociraptors stop as one of them screeches.)
Plio: Aladar, they're stopping!
(The Velociraptors run away as a bellow echoes.)
Aladar: Huh?
(Kron rams into Aladar as he falls down with the lemurs.)
Kron: (growling) Stay out of my way!
(The lemurs evade Kron as they shriek.)
Bruton: You heard Kron. Move it!
(Aladar stands up as the herd of Iguanodons, Pachyrhinosaurus and Parasaurolophus move to the canyon as Aladar looks down at the orphans and he bumps into Neera.)
Neera: (grunts) Watch it.
(Aladar looks at Neera walk as a Pachyrhinosaurus rams into Aladar as he falls to the sand as Microceratops jump over Aladar.)
Microceratops: (chittering)
Yar: Zini, get your head down!
(Zini takes cover as he stands up to see Baylene bellowing while she walks to the canyon after she goes under Aladar and the lemurs.)
Eema: Walking backwards, huh? Well, let me know if that gets you there any faster. (to Url) Keep those little legs moving, Url, or you'll get left behind!
(Url walks to the canyon with Eema and Baylene as the sandstorm clears and Suri sees all the herd.)
Suri: Look at all the Aladars.
Yar: If you're even thinking of joining them...
Velociraptor: (squawking)
(Aladar sees four more Velociraptors.)
Aladar: Hang on, hang on!
(Aladar runs to the herd as four Velociraptors run to see Aladar follow the herd and stop.)
Velociraptor: (roars, trills)
*Bruton: Kron. There is a more protected spot further down the--
*Kron: We'll rest here for the night. Go ahead, Bruton.
*Dinosaur: Oh, Eema, I wish we were at your nesting grounds now. All this pushing and shoving about, just for a place to sleep. I'm not used to this kind of behavior.
*Dinosaur 2: Baylene, you got big feet. Just give 'em a kick. Git!
*Dinosaur: Oh, I could not possibly. Uh, uh, shoo, shoo.
*Dinosaur 2: Will you come on, Baylene? You wanna get to the nesting grounds alive? Show some backbone.
*Aladar: Hey there!
*Dinosaur: AAAAHH!!
* Aladar: Oh, sorry about that. Uh, it's just we overheard you talking, and, um--
*Eema: Well, my word. Look at Url. He doesn't normally warm up to strangers so fast.
*Baylene: What an unfortunate blemish.
*Eema: Good mud bath'd clear those right up.
*Yar: Excuse me?
*Aladar: Um, he's my grandfather, a couple times removed.
*Zini: Try a couple of species removed.
*Aladar: My name's Aladar. This is my family. We're all that's left.
*Baylene: Oh, my dear, I'm so sorry.
* Eema: Baylene's the last of her kind. Finding stragglers like her all along the way.
*Pilo: I heard you say something about nesting grounds.
*Eema: It is the most beautiful place there is, child. It's where the herd goes to have their babies.
*Suri: Will we find anybody that looks like us there?
*Eema: Oh, the last few days I've seen 'em all shapes and sizes. Who knows what we'll find. The hard job now is just getting there.
* Baylene: And we're being driven unmercifully.
*Aladar: By who?
*Eema: Kron, the herd's head honcho.
*Baylene: We can hardly keep up. A-An older woman like myself, it's-- well, it's positively indecent.
* Aladar: Then tell him. What's the worst he can do? Hey! What's his problem?
*Eema: That's him, honey. Kron.
*Aladar: Uh, excuse me. Kron! You got a second?
*Bruton: Get lost, kid.
*Kron: Relax, Bruton. Who are you?
*Aladar: Uh, Aladar.
*Kron: Why aren't you uphill with the-- uh, young bloods?
*Aladar: Well, I was back here talking to these guys. I guess they-- they're having a hard time keeping up. So, you know, maybe you could slow it down a bit.
* Kron: Hmm. Let the weak set the pace. Now, there's an idea. You better let me do the thinking from now on, Aladar.
*Aladar: Hey, they need help back here.
*Kron: Watch yourself, boy.
*Neera: Don't worry. That's how my brother treats newcomers. No matter how charming they are.
*Zini: You sure know how to catch a girl's eye there, stud.
*Eema: I wouldn't be catchin' nobody's eye if I was you, especially Neera's. You just keep your head down, and you mind what Kron tells you.
* Yar: Since when do we take orders from the likes of him?
*Eema: Kron has swatted flies bigger than you, pops.
*Yar: I could hold that monster's brain in the palm of my--
*Aladar: No, Yar, she's right-- better to keep our heads down with this bunch... than get 'em bitten off by those things.
*Eema: Well, you just consider yourself lucky that's all that's following us.
*Zini: Hey, wake up. Enough with the beauty sleep. You're ravishing already. Hey! Hello! Anybody in there?
*Aladar: Zini, what are you doing?
*Zini: I believe you left a wake-up call for the dawn of time. Come on! Move it!
*Aladar: What's the hurry?
*Zini: Something's up. The herd's gathering without us. Let's check it out.
*Bruton: Rise and shine! Kron says everybody goes. Come on, get up. On your feet.
*Zini: The charm never stops around here.
*Bruton: You say something?
*Aladar: Uh, no. No, sir.
*Bruton: Unless you got a death wish, you and that little parasite better get moving!
*Zini: Sheesh, is that guy ugly, or what? Hey, hey, hey, there's your girlfriend.
*Aladar: What are you talking about?
* Zini: You know what I'm talking about: Neera. Scaly skin, yellow eyes, big ankles.
*Aladar: Yeah. I made a real impression on her.
*Zini: What you need is a little help from the love monkey.
*Aladar: ''The love monkey''?
*Zini: Oh, baby! [chittering]
*Neera: That, children, is what's known as a jerkosaurus.
*Zini: And with that, the ice is broken.
*Kron: We've got a lot of first-timers here. Make sure they get it. We stop for nothing and no one.
*Bruton: If this is your first crossing, listen up. There is no water till we reach the other side. And you'd better keep up, 'cause if a predator catches you, you're on your own. Move out!
* Baylene: Oh, my goodness. It looks like a very long walk.
* Eema: And hot. If you smell somethin' sizzlin', it could be me.
*Kron:We're moving too slow.
*Bruton: I'll pick up the pace.
*Yar: Hey, old girl, you're wandering off a bit.
*Eema: That's all I need: a monkey on my back.
*[Eema walks back to the herd. Aladar sees the corpse of a Struthiomimid, then he notices the Velociraptors in the distance nearby. When Aladar and the others move on, the Velociraptors walk up to the corpse and eat it. The next morning, Eema collapses to the ground, exhausted.]
*Aladar: On your feet, Eema. We can't let those things eat you. They're out there waiting.
*Eema: The lake!
*Yar: We made it?
*Eema: It's just over that-- that hill, baby.
*Baylene: Oh, thank goodness.
*Aladar: Come on, Eema. Water. Remember water?
*Eema: Well, it's time to refresh my memory. Ooh, I'm just gonna walk right into that lake... until the water's up to my eyeballs... and soak it all in.
*Bruton: Maybe the rains collected somewhere else. What do you want us to do?
*Kron: Take a scout and check the entire perimeter. Enough! You have to be strong now! The nesting grounds are only a few days away! Keep moving!
*Neera: Kron, we've never gone this long without water. If we keep going like this, we'll lose half the herd.
*Kron: Then we save the half that deserves to live.
*Baylene: What, they're moving already? Oh, we'll never keep up.
*Eema: There was water here. Always water here before. We always had water. Always. And-- And plenty of mud.
*Baylene: Oh, Eema, please. The herd won't wait. We must carry on.
*Aladar: You gotta get up!
*Eema: There was water everywhere.
*Baylene: There is no water, dear.
*Aladar: Baylene, don't move.
*Baylene: Uh, what is it? What's wrong?
*Zini: Do you hear that?
*Aladar: I sure do. Lift your foot, Baylene. Now press down.
*Zini: I always did like big girls!
*Aladar: Water.
*Baylene: Oh, my goodness!
*Aladar: Water! Come on!
*Neera: They found water.
*Baylene: That's it, Eema. Come drink.
*Aladar: Kron, look. All we had to do was dig and--
*Kron: Good. Now get out of the way.
*Aladar: Wait! Wait! There's enough for everyone! Eema! That's it. Keep pushing and shoving. That's very helpful.
*Bruton, we've been walking in circles.
*There's no water here.
*- I think we should get back.
*- Shh. Keep it down.
*Let's get out of here.
*Suri: Now, you come out on three. Come on. Come on out. No one's gonna hurt you.
*Aladar: Hey, hey, what's going on?
*Suri: The little Aladars haven't had anything to drink. I think they're scared of me.
*Aladar: Well, who wouldn't be? You are pretty scary.
*Aladar: Come on over, guys. Take it easy. Don't worry. She's just a hair ball.
*Suri: And proud of it. Come on. He's gonna find you some water.
*Aladar: Here. Now, you just take a foot and press. Whoa. Hey, hey, hey, come on, come on. Knock it off. Let's-- Let's work together here, huh? A little teamwork. Ready? One, two, three. Press! Good job, Suri. So, where are your parents, anyway?
*Neera: A lot of us are on our own now. You like kids, I see.
*Aladar: Well, the skinny ones can be a little chewy. I'm Aladar, the jerkosaurus.
*Neera: Oh. Sorry about that.
*Aladar: Probably right.
*Pilo: Dad, wake up.
*Yar: Huh?
*Neera: Why did you help that old one?
*Aladar: What else could we do? Leave her behind? Oh, you mean you actually--
*Neera: Well, that happens all the time. You don't survive if you're not--
*Aladar: Strong enough.
*Neera: Well, yeah.
*Aladar: Is that you talking, or your brother?
*Neera: Everything's so different. I-- I don't know what to think any more.
*Aladar: Look, Neera, we watch out for each other... we all stand a chance of getting to your nesting grounds.
*Neera: You sound so sure.
*Aladar: I'm not. But it's all I know. So, um-- Oh, water. I'll, uh, get you some water.
*Neera: Can I try?
*Aladar: Sure. Just press.
*- Oops!
*- Sorry.
*- No, you-- you first.
*Yar: One down and-- Well, one down.
*Bruton: Kron! Carnotaurs!
*Kron: What? They never come this far north.
*Bruton: The fireball must've driven them out.
*Kron: You led them right to us! Maybe you can feed them with your hide! Move the herd out, double-time!
*Aladar: What's happening?
*Neera: My brother's moving the herd.
*Neera: Kron! What's going on?
*Kron: Carnotaurs. If we don't keep moving, they'll catch up to us.
*Aladar: But the others in the back, they'll never make it.
*Kron: They'll slow down the predators.
*Aladar: You can't sacrifice them like this! Hold it! That could be you back there, or you!
*Kron: If you ever interfere again, I'll kill you. Stay away from him!
*Neera: Aladar, no! You just-- Just go. I'll be okay.
*[Aladar runs back to warn Baylene, Eema, and the lemurs.] Aladar: Let's go! Let's go! Carnotaurs! Yar: Carno-what? Eema: Carnotaur! A mouth full of teeth with a bad attitude! Let's go! Aladar: Come on, you guys, get on, get on! We're gonna get left behind! [starts running for the herd] Let's go! Hurry up! We're losing them! Plio: Aladar, slow down! [Aladar stops and looks behind to see Baylene and Eema struggling to follow. Then he turns to see Neera, Kron and the rest of the herd leaving without them. Aladar chooses to stay with Baylene and Eema to ensure their survival.]
*Baylene: Oh, joy. Blisters.
*Eema: I've got blisters on my blisters.
*Yar: You don't wanna know where I got blisters.
*Eema: What was that?
*Baylene: It came from up ahead.
*Zini: Okay, what's the worst thing it could be?
*Suri: [worried] A carnotaur?
*Zini: Okay, what's the second worst thing it could be?
*Baylene: Two carnotaurs! Oh, my goodness!
*Eema: That's it! I'm gone!
*Aladar: Everybody! We don't know for sure. It could be the herd. Let's check it out.
*Eema: Oh, it's Bruton.
*Baylene: It appears we weren't the only ones left behind.
*Aladar: What happened?
*Eema: Carnotaurs. Oh, we should keep moving.
*Pilo: We can't just leave him here.
*Eema: We can if we move fast enough.
*Aladar: Hey, uh, you don't look so good. Let me help you.
*Bruton: Save your pity. I just need some rest. Now get away from me.
*Aladar: Suit yourself. If you change your mind, we'll be in those caves. It's dark, but at least it's dry.
*Eema: I like dry. It's the dark part I'm having trouble with. Ouch! Sorry, Url. Sturdy little thing, ain't he?
*Baylene: Ahem. We appear to have a visitor.
*Aladar: You coming in, or what?
*Bruton: What is it with you?
*Aladar: At least I know enough to get in out of the rain. Now come on. On your feet. Uh, you can lie down with us. It's warmer.
*Baylene: May I remind you that he's one of them?
*Aladar: Well, looks like he's one of us now.
*Eema: Who booked this trip, anyway?
*Aladar: Ah, you'll be at the nesting grounds soon enough.
*Eema: Well, when I get there, I'm gonna give Kron a piece of my mind.
*Aladar: You tell him, Eema.
*Yar: If I could sleep that deep, I'd be in paradise.
*Eema: If you could sleep that deep, honey, you'd be dead.
*Pilo: This plant grew on our island. It will make you feel better.
*Bruton: Why is he doing this, pushing them on with false hope?
*Pilo: It's hope that's gotten us this far.
*Bruton: But why doesn't he let them accept their fate? I've accepted mine.
*Pilo: And what is your fate?
*Bruton: To die here. It's the way things are.
*Pilo: Only if you give up, Bruton. It's your choice, not your fate. Well, the plant will help.
*Bruton: Carnotaurs.
*Aladar: What do we do?
*Bruton: Wake the others.
*[Bruton, Eema, Baylene, and the lemurs begin to proceed deeper into the cave. Aladar nudges Url to wake him up; he bellows in fright, and Aladar immediately silences him so he doesn't give them away; the Carnotaurs look up briefly and then continue looking around]]
*Aladar: Go, go! Hurry! Move it, Eema!
*Pilo: Aladar! Aladar! Oh, no!
*Bruton: I'll hold them off! You help the others!
*Aladar: Bruton! Bruton! No! Bruton!
*Pilo: You did what you could.
*Neera: It's okay, little ones. We're going to make it.
*(As Aladar and his group continue deeper and deeper into the cave, the darkness is overwhelming. Aladar can barely see his own feet, let alone and what lays ahead)
*(Zini and Yar pass the time by playing a game)
*Zini: Alright, let's do it again. I spy with my little eye...
*Yar: A rock? (It is a pretty safe guess considering that there isn't much else in the cave)
*Zini: You've had it again. Oh, you are nice!
*Eema: I'll tell you what I spy. A dead end.
*(They all stare at the boulders. They look too big to move, even by dinosaur standards)
*Yar: What have we done now?
*Aladar: I guess we just go back.
*(Zini begins sniffing)
*Zini: Hang on a moment.
*Suri: Zini, what is this?
*Zini: Do you smell that?
*(Suri sniffs, Yar sniffs––soon they are all sniffing. Zini bounds ahead, following the scent. As the others follow, Zini jumps onto a ledge and starts digging at the rocks. Soon a shaft of light appears through one of the cracks)
*Eema: Get a load of that!
*Baylene: Nice show.
*(Aladar knows what has to be done)
*Aladar: Everybody, stand back! We're out of here!
*(With that said, he surges forward, ramming against the wall and pushing it with all his might. But the wall won't budge. He pushes again, harder this time, and some of the rocks begin to shift. Suddenly, the wall collapses, which blocks their road even further, including the small opening that has given them such hope)
*Aladar: Noo!!!! (He smashes himself into the rocks, pounding at them. Years of believing that everything happens for the best, that nothing is impossible, that if you work hard enough you can accomplish anything––all of that has just collapsed in his mind like the wall in front of him. He slumps down against the rocks in defeat)
*Pilo: Aladar, we'll go back.
*Aladar: Back to what? It's gone. We're not meant to survive.
*Baylene: Oh, yes, we were. We're here, aren't we? And how dare you waste that good fortune by simply giving up? Well, shame on you. Shame on you, shame on you. The worst of it is... you allowed an old fool like me to believe I was needed, but I still have a purpose. And do you know what? You were right. And I'm going to go on believing it. And I, for one, am not willing to die here.
*Baylene: Oh, dear.
*Eema: The nesting grounds. It's-- It's untouched.
*Pilo: Our new home.
*Zini: And it comes with a pool!
*Zini: Cannonball!
*Baylene: Ha. Amateur.
*Look out below!
*Aladar: Not bad. But I don't get it. Where's the herd?
*Pilo: Not to mention Neera.
*Eema: [chuckles] They'll get here soon enough. [she looks over to see a stone wall] Oh, no.
*Aladar: Eema?
*Eema: I spoke too soon.
*Aladar: What is it?
*Eema: That is the way we used to get in here.
*Aladar: They'll never make it over that.
*Eema: Aladar, wait, wait! Kron'll eat you alive.
*Aladar: Let him try.
*[Aladar leaves to the cave where they had exit out of.]
*Eema: Oh, I hope Kron's in a listening mood.
*Stay here.
*We'll find a way around it. In the morning, we'll climb it.
*Kron: We have to keep trying. Our survival, our future, is over these rocks. Now, let's go home! You'll make it, won't you, boys?
*Neera: No!
*Kron: Watch them. They're tough. If they can do it, so can you!
*[Aladar arrives at the scene.]
*Aladar: Kron! Get the herd out of here! A carnotaur's coming!
*Kron: Keep moving!
*Aladar: Stop! I've been to the valley. There's a safer way.
*Kron: Go on, show 'em!
*[Kron hits the two iguanodon children with his head, making them cry]
*Neera: Kron, listen to him.
*Aladar: Look, we gotta go now!
*Kron: Go where? Straight to the carnotaurs?
*Aladar: If we hurry, we can get around them! You can't get over those rocks! There's a sheer drop on the other side. You're gonna kill the herd! I know a way to the valley, and everybody can make it! Now follow me!
*Neera: Kron!
*Kron: They're staying with me!
*Aladar: All right, let's go.
*Kron: He's led that monster right to us! This way!
*Aladar: No! Don't move! If we scatter, he'll pick us off. Stand together.
*Neera: Kron.
*[Neera nudges Kron's head, but he is already dead. Aladar and Neera embrace each other. Later, Aladar, Neera, and the herd head through the cave entrance and finally make it into the valley]
*Aladar: Welcome home.
*Eema: Make room! Bringin' in babies is what I do best!
*Yar: I'd say it's been a few years since you hatched anything!
*[Both laugh].
*Eema: You're right. So, let me practice on your head!
*Plio: Look! Somebody wants to meet you!
*Pilo: Oh, aren't you the sweetest little small fry I ever did see.
*Aladar: Hey, little guy. He looks just like me.
*Neera: Meet your dad. He's not as crazy as he looks.
*Eema: Oh! Oh, happy day.
*Baylene: Well done, little one.
*Yar: Come here, you little rascal. Let me get a good look at you. Yep, you're your father's son, all right.
*Zini: Hey, look what I found! New neighbours! Any of you ladies up for a game of, uh, ''monkey in the middle''? Easy, now! Easy! Hey! Whoo!
*Pilo: None of us really know what changes, big or small, lie ahead. One thing is certain-- our journey's not over. We can only hope that in some small way... our time here will be remembered.
