At the mainland/new Raptor discovery

Here's how we get to the mainland and the new Raptor discovery goes in *Return to the Mysterious Beyond*.

[As it fades to the next scene, it shows Joe's backyard and having a grill out as it shows the Griffin's, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe's other friends at the party, hanging out, talking and swimming in the pool and Joe cooking burgers and dogs. As it then shows Susie playing with dinosaur toys by making roaring sounds and uses a *Torosaurus* toy to bite a *Diplodocus* head toy]

Brian Griffin: No, no, Susie, those are herbivores, they have no interest in fighting each other or for sports. But... [he takes out a *Tyrannosaurus rex* and *Allosaurus* toy] *These* guys right here, these are carnivores. And they're the ones where they would fight and rip each others heads off. [he makes the two toys clash with each other and make snarling and growling sounds as Bonnie walks over]

Bonnie Swanson: Uh, Brian.

[Brian stops and turns to her]

Bonnie Swanson: She's three years old. [whispering] Wait until she's five.

Brian Griffin: Oh, right. [he turns to Susie] Sorry, Susie.

Lois Griffin: Hey Bonnie, Kevin Swanson is trying to call you and Joe.

Bonnie Swanson: Yeah, tell him I'll be there in a minute.

[Then it cuts to Joe and Bonnie's pet parrot inside their house as it gets darker and the party dies down a little bit.]

Brian Griffin: (holding a cracker) Stuart, is my name "Brian"? Can you say "Brian"?

[But Stuart doesn't try to say Brian's name as some people chuckle]

Brian Griffin: He used to know me.

Bonnie Swanson: Sorry, Brian. It's been a few years.

Peter Griffin: Yeah, now come on, grab a cold one with us.

Brian Griffin: Well, alright. [he grabs a cold beer, opens it, and drinks it up] You know, it's been so long since we've done anything major ever since the Battle with Darth Blackard.

Joe Swanson: You know, that's a very solid point there, Brian.

Cleveland Brown: It would be nice if we had an epic adventure to do something in a while.

[Then they hear Susie start crying]

Lois Griffin: Uh-oh.

Bonnie Swanson: You guys carry on, I'll be right back.

[She goes inside to check on Susie]

Glenn Quagmire: So what about you, Brian? What have you been doing after the Battle with Darth Blackard?

Brian Griffin: Me, the Padawan Six, Terramar, and Gabby been studying about Raptors, lately.

Cleveland Brown: So, you find anything new about them?

Brian Griffin: Well, you know those sounds they would make with the Utahraptor?

Glenn Quagmire: I try not to, what of it?

Brian Griffin: We've done cranial scans, and raptors actually had a quite sophisticated resonating chamber. I have a theory that their ability to vocalize is the key to their social intelligence. The way they can work together as a team.

Meg Griffin: Wait, so you're saying they communicate with each other as a team?

Brian Griffin: Yes and they can coordinate their attack patterns. They're smart. Smarter than dolphins, whales.... they were even smarter than primates.

Peter Griffin: Holy shit...

[Then it fades to the next day where Brian is packing up and loading up his Prius for a trip]

Sylveon: I hope you have a good trip.

Brian Griffin: Thanks. [The two kiss as Brian opens the door and closes the door]

Sylveon: Hey, wait.

Brian Griffin: [rolls down his window] Yeah?

Sylveon: I just wanna remind you, incase you have any trouble, just try to call me, okay?

Brian Griffin: Sure. [he starts up his Prius]

Sylveon: It's just that sometimes, well.... you never get to ask.

Brian Griffin: Well, I'm the last of my breed. [he backs up from the drive way and drives down the road as Sylveon watches]

[It then goes to Brian at a University, where he is sharing about his expedition to a huge crowd of college students.]

Brian Griffin: As you can see here, it is through the study of the anterior chamber, in multiple specimens... that we can determine the correlation between the upper palate and the larynx. This lets us theorize, *theorize*, mind you that the Raptor was capable of sophisticated vocalizations which would have been a tremendous evolutionary advantage. Raptors were fierce, intelligent, and socially sophisticated. They were able to hunt in numbers and coordinate their efforts. Were it not for the cataclysmic events which overtook them it is entirely possible that Raptors rather than humans would have become the dominant species on this planet. I hope this has been of interest, it certainly excites us as paleontologists. There is much, much more to discover. That is why we continue to need and ask for, your support. Thank you.

[Applause]

University Teacher: Thank you very much, Brian. Now, does anyone have any questions?

[Everyone raises their hands]

Brian Griffin: Alright. But as long it does *not* relate to the Lost Island, Skull Island, or the incident in Quahog.

[Some hands were brought down with an "Awww"]

Brian Griffin Or when Stewie took us back in time to see real dinosaurs, the amazing prehistoric mammals, the creatures from the Paleozoic era, and dive in the seven deadliest seas of all time.

[Some hands were brought down again with another "Awww"]

Brian Griffin: Or the Battle of The Great Valley, which I did *not* participate in.

[Some more hands were brought down again with another "Awww"]

Brian Griffin: [notices someone's hand] Yes sir?

Teenage earth pony college student: You're theory on Raptors is good, but haven't ever considered about going to the Mysterious Beyond and ever studied about the raptors on that land? I mean, since you're a Jedi Knight, I'm pretty sure you can visit a restricted area and all that.

Brian Griffin: Umm.... it doesn't work that way, first of all.

[The audience laugh]

Brian Griffin: Secondly, Dinosaurs lived 65 million years ago. What is left of them is fossilized in the rocks. And it is in the rock, that real scientists make real discoveries. Now over at the Mysterious Beyond and the Great Valley are just anthropomorphic talking dinosaurs. Nothing more and nothing less.

Teenage female earth college student: Are you saying you wouldn't want to visit the Mysterious Beyond and study them if you had the chance?

Brian Griffin: Sweetheart, no force on Heaven or Earth will get me on that land.

[Then it crossfades to a gryphon who is spray painting the windshield of a busted starfighter and he runs up to another gryphon named "Sphiar" who is checking out a fancy high-powered rifle while loading a rifle clip]

Sphiar: So what do we got here, Yoret?

Yoret Nexxus: Titanium Claw 20mm gas-operated, semi-automatic, anti-material rifle. Loaded with custom made explosive tipped FMJ 20mm bullets.

[Then there was a phone ring, and inside another starfigher, another gryphon walks up to the phone and answers it]

Gryphon: This is Curbert.

Earth Pony on the phone: Mr. Rain, this is Rockson Geo. I'm just checking in....

Curbet Rain: Ah, yes Mr. Geo. We're good to go here. As a matter in fact, I can lock things down just as soon as you drop me that payment. Well, that's right I... there two of the very best men I could possibly find. No sir, I haven't worked with them personally but believe me, sir, both of these men come very highly recommended. (as he talks, he walks outside the starfighter and walks over to Sphiar and Yoret)

[Sphiar and Yoret put on sound phones as Sphiar chambers a round into the rifle, before taking aim, and fires at the starfighter as it explodes]

Rockson Geo (on phone): Curbert?! Are you alright?!

Curbert Rain: There's nothing to worry about, sir. It's gonna be a stroll in the park.

[They watch the starfighter burn as they all smile]
