Manny
[edit]- [to Sid] I told you, Sid, you're not qualified to run a camp.
- [when a male anteater asked him when it was the last time, he saw another mammoth] Mammoths cannot go extinct! They're the biggest things on Earth!
- Fast Tony was right. Everything is melting.
- Shut up, Sid.
- Stop singing, Sid!
- Sid, I am going to fall on you again, and this time, I will kill you.
- [to his reflection] I guess it's just you and me now.
- I'm not fat. It's this fur that makes me look big. It's poofy.
- Diego, there are whole continents moving faster than you, let's go! We gotta catch up with the others!
- [referring to Ellie] Do you believe her? [imitating] "Bravery is just dumb. Maybe, you should run away more." She's infuriating and stubborn and narrow minded!
- [after Crash gets knocked out by a tree when he launches at him] Uh-oh.
Sid
[edit]- We're gonna live! [water rapidly rises around them] We're going to die!
- [laid by Manny after a slid] I cannot breathe! I think I just coughed up my spleen.
- [Cholly the Chalicotherium farts on him] Phew! Well, don't that put the "stink" in "extinction"?
- [singing] Stop, hey, what's that sound, all the mammoths are in the ground! [Parody of Buffalo Springfield is "For What It is Worth"]
- [singing] If your species will continue, clap your hands [clap clap] If your species-- [Parody of "If you are happy and you know it"]
- [talking to Diego about his fear of water] Fine, but we are living in a melting world buddy! You are going to must face your fears, sooner, or later.
- Hey, can you guys slow down a little? I am dying here! [Vultures stare at him] It was just a figure of speech!
- Not in front of the K-I-D-Z.
- [after an elaborate dance sequence with the mini-sloths which ends in him getting tied up] This is either good or bad.
- Yep, tomorrow is the day the scary vulture said we are all going to die. [immediately starts snoring]
- [about the geysers] Oh, it's just a little hot water and steam. How bad could it be? [sees a dodo bird get fried by geyser] I just did something involuntary... and messy.
- [after Manny suggests that Ellie's "tree" does not go "all the way to the top branch"] Manny, brink of extinction is a bad time to be picky.
- [after Manny threw him away while inside a tree; while referring to Manny] I think I am starting to get through to him.
- [last lines] I saved you, little buddy! [when Scrat attacks him] Hey, I just saved you! Remember?! I - Ow! Ow! Ow! OW!
Diego
[edit]- [after he and Sid are humiliated by Crash and Eddie] If anyone asks, there were fifty of them. And uh, they were rattlesnakes.
- Then the hungry tiger ate the pesky little kids. [he roars at the kids causing them to be scared and run away]
- [to Sid] Congratulations. You are now an idiot in two languages.
- [tfter Sid ate some blueberries and licked on his claws] Hey, if you ever master hygiene, try working on sensitivity.
- [referring to Ellie] She is not half bad. Crazy and confused but...sweet.
- [after they escape the sea monsters] [Sid: What in the Animal Kingdom was that?] I don't know. But for now on, land safe. Water? Not safe.
- Possum, about eleven foot tall?
Scrat
[edit]- [repeated lines] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Fast Tony
[edit]- It is all a part of my accu-weather forecast.
- The five-day outlook is calling for intense flooding, followed by the end of the world!
- You, ma'am. You look like a fat, hairy beast! How would like to lose a ton or two?
- [After Manny mentions he would sell his mother for a grape, due to his greediness] Are you making an offer? I mean no, I would not!
Crash and Eddie
[edit]- Eddie: [To Diego] You want a piece of us? Let is go!
- Crash: Banzai!
- [As Diego is about to bite Crash is head] You know the best part? We are carrying diseases!
- Eddie: Crash, Crash, don't leave me! Who is going to watch my back? Who is going to be my wingman of mayhem? Who is going to roll in that dung patch with me?
- Crash: [awakening] Dung patch?! Wait! My legs... I can stand.
- Eddie: He can stand!
- Crash: I can run!
- Eddie: He can run! It is a miracle!
Ellie
[edit]- I am not a mammoth. I am a possum.
- I thought fat guys are supposed to be jolly.
- That was the bravest thing I have ever seen!
- It is not a compliment. For a possum, bravery is just dumb.
- [to Manny when he, slingshot Crash from a tree] What is wrong with you?
Lone Gunslinger
[edit]- Flood's real alright, and it's comin' fast. Look around, you're in a bowl, bowl's gonna fill up, ain't no way out. Unless you can make it to the end of the valley. There's a boat, it can save you.
- There is some good news, though. The more of you die, the better I eat. I didn't say it was good news for you.
- Y'all better hurry, grounds melting, walls tumbling and rocks crumbling, survive that, you'll be racin' the water. In three days time it's gonna hit the geyser field. Boom!
- Ooh, and it looks as though there may be a fatality! I call the dark meat!
Others
[edit]- Stu: Hey, I can smell the ocean!
- James: Make me, sloth.
- Cholly: Sorry. My stomach hates me.
- Diatryma Mom: Alright, everybody, let's go. Come on. Come, come, come. Get in.
- Layla Zee: Worth a shot.
- Mini Sloth: Fire King.
- Molehog Grandpa: Well, I am not leaving! I was born in this hole, and I will die in this hole.
Dialogue
[edit]- [The film begins with a ice cliff and Scrat the sabre-toothed squirrel is climbing it to find his acorn. He have some difficulties climbing it like getting his tongue stuck and nearly falling off but he manages to hold on to the edge by digging his claws and sabre teeth into the ice. He saw his acorn which is wedged into the ice, much to his delight. He runs up to it and smiles. He then tries to pull it out of the ice though it is hard to begin with but eventually manages to pull it free and hugs it. But then, there is a rumbling noise and a piece of ice comes loose, releasing a jet of water. He quickly uses a claw to plug it up, stopping the water. But another piece of ice comes lose and another jet of water comes out, forcing Scrat to put his acorn in his mouth and plug it up with another claw. But another water jet comes out and Scrat has to use it back right-hand paw to plug it up and catches his acorn in his back left-hand paw and has to use that to plug another jet of water up, which forces Scrat to balance his acorn on his head. The rumble sound is heard again and a jet of water hits Scrat in the eye until he uses his mouth to contain it. Then the water inside Scrat's mouth causes him to blow up like a balloon and his claws are removed from the other jets of water, releasing them. He is soon flung backward, causing his acorn to fall and flies around with water hissing out of him like air coming out of a balloon. Eventually, all the water is emptied from Scrat and he falls]
- Scrat: [screaming]
- [Scrat falls through a chuck of ice, hits his jaw on another and eventually hits a flat ice surface, cracking it. He groans and stands up. He shakes his head to get rid of the dizziness. Then the ground begins to shake and Scrat becomes frightened as a shovelmouth calf slides right into him]
- Shovelmouth Calf: Whoo-whee!
- Scrat: [screaming]
- [Scrat and the shovelmouth slides through a tube and into the air. The title "Ice Age: The Meltdown" appears on a white background. The scene changes to the bottom of the white cliff where a bunch of prehistoric animals are having fun at their waterpark, made out of ice formations. A male start is sitting in the shade on a ice formation while a female start is sitting in the sun]
- Male Start: Boy, this global warming is killing me!
- Female Start: This is too hot, the ice age was too cold. What would it take to make you happy?
- [The female start falls in the water and the male start smiles]
- Male Start: This, I like.
- [A stag slides down a ice slide. As he reached the bottom, a beaver lands on his antlers, causing him to yell out in pain. Nearby, a group of Baptornis slide down an ice slide into a pool of water where they see piranhas swimming and chase after them, attempting to eat them. The shovelmouth calf from earlier lands in the water and swims to the surface. Up above, a turtle and a beaver slide down an ice slide into the water but a freaky mammal gets stuck at the bottom, causing a pileup which sends him skidding into the Baptornis, knocking them over like pins. Meanwhile, a baby turtle slides into a pool of water. A baby beaver is building a dam when a baby aardvark and a baby start run through it, destroying it and causing the baby beaver to cry. Sid the sloth blows into a shell to get their attention]
- Sid: No running, James. Camp rules.
- [A female ground sloth named Rose looks at him lovingly because the ice that Sid's behind makes him look muscular. James, the baby aardvark, stops and glares at Sid]
- James: Make me, sloth.
- Sid: Make me, sir! [to Rose] It's all about respect.
- Rose: Ew! [walks away]
- [The baby start stops by a pool and James gets on her back and jumps in]
- Sid: Sammy, you just ate! Wait an hour! Hector, no, no, no, you can't pee-pee there! [recoils in disgust] Okay, there is fine! Ashley, stop picking your...
- [Sid is suddenly dragging into the air by a vine around his foot. Baby animals surround him]
- Baby Animals: Piñata! [cheering]
- Sid: Stop! You're supposed to wear blindfolds!
- Beaver: Okay.
- James: Hey, it's my turn to hit the sloth!
- Beaver: Mine.
- James: Mine!
- Beaver: Mine!
- James: Mine!
- [The beaver and James keep knocking into Sid whilst they're arguing and cause him to swing back and forth]
- Sid: Whoa! Argh!
- [Sid swings over to the beaver who biffs him, sending him flying and landing on the ground]
- Baby Animals: Yay!
- Beaver: Hey! You didn't have any candy in you.
- Shovelmouth Calf: Let's bury him.
- Baby Animals: Yeah!
- [The beaver and James push Sid into a hole and the baby beaver jumps up and down pushing him further in until...]
- Manny: Hey, hey! Whoa! Who said you kids could torture the sloth?
- Diego: Manny, don't squash their creativity.
- Sid: Hey, Manny, Diego. My bad mammal-jammals. Wanna give a sloth a hand?
- [Manny uses his trunk to pull Sid out of the hole and puts him down.
- Sid: Look, I opened my camp. Campo del Sid. It means "Camp of Sid".
- Diego: Congratulations. You're now an idiot in two languages.
- Sid: Shhh. Not in front of the K-I-D-Z. These little guys love me. Right, Billy?
- Billy: Don't make me eat you.
- Kids: [laugh]
- Sid: Ah, they're kidding. That's why they're called kids.
- Manny: I told you, Sid, you're not qualified to run a camp.
- Sid: Oh, since when do qualifications have anything to do with childcare? Besides, these kids look up to me. I'm a role model to them. Aaah!
- [The beaver rams into Sid who has the vine tied around his legs, knocking him over]
- Diego: I can see that.
- Sid: [Getting up] You guys never think I can do anything, but I am an equal member of this herd. I made this herd. So you need to start treating me with some respect.
- [Sid looks at them before hopping away]
- Manny: Come on, Sid.
- Diego: Hey, Sid. We were just kidding.
- Beaver: Hey. Let's play Pin the Tail on the Mammoth.
- Kid Animals: Yeah!
- [The kids charge towards Manny and Diego, who look worried and stunned]
- Manny and Diego: Sid!
- [Meanwhile, Sid is still hopping and tries to get the vine off of his legs]
- Sid: I can do stuff! Won't give their stupid respect. [finally gets the vine off and walks off] I'll show 'em.
- [Meanwhile, Manny has managed to get the kids under control by telling them a story]
- Manny: And so, in the end, the little burro reached his mommy and they lived happily ever after.
- Kid Animals: Yay!
- Diego: Good job.
- Beaver: [Putting his hand up] Question: Why does the burro go home? Why doesn't he stay with the rabbits?
- Manny: Because... because he wanted to be with his family.
- Bird: [Landing on Manny's tusk] I think he should go with the girl burro. That's a better love story.
- Manny: Okay. [picks the bird up with his trunk and puts her down on the ground] Well, when you tell your burro story, that's what he'll do.
- Deer: Burro is a demeaning name. Technically, it's called a Wild A**.
- Manny: Fine. The Wild A** boy came home to his Wild A** mother.
- [The kids laugh]
- Manny: See? That's why I called it a burro!
- Brontotheres Calf: Did the burro have a grazing problem? That would make him more relatable.
- Start Calf: Boring.
- Shovelmouth Calf: I don't get it.
- Turtle: It's not believable.
- Beaver: Do burrows eat their young? It's not a very satisfying ending.
- Start Calf: Sometimes I throw up.
- Manny: They lived happily ever after. You can't get more satisfying than that. One big happy family. That's the way it's supposed to be.
- Bird: Then where's your big happy family?
- [Manny looks upset because what the bird just asked him is reminding him of when he lost his wife and son in a human attack. Diego notices and stands up]
- Diego: Then the hungry tiger ate the pesky little kids.
- [Diego jumps off the rock he was laying and growls at the kids who scream and run off]
- Diego: You okay, buddy?
- Manny: Sure, why not?
- Diego: I just thought you...
- Manny: Story time's over! The end.
- [Then two male Start kids run past them]
- Start Kids: Out of the way! Run for your lives!
- Manny: Hey, hey, watch it!
- Diego: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, where's everybody going?!
- Start Kid 1: The world's coming to an end!
- Manny: What are you talking about?
- Start Kid 2: Fast Tony! He says the world's gonna flood! [Panting]
- [Cut to Fast Tony, a blue armadillo, holding a reed]
- Fast Tony: Folks! I hold in my hand a device so powerful, it can actually pull air right out of the sky!
- [Animals gather around him]
- Fast Tony: Ho-ho! Gather round! Gather round! [To a female anteater] Pardon me, do you have gills, ma'am?
- Female Anteater: Uh-uh.
- Fast Tony: So you can't breathe under water?
- Female Anteater: Uh-uh.
- Fast Tony: Aha. [goes over to a Glyptodon named Stu, who has a reed up one of his nostrils] My assistant here will demonstrate.
- Stu: [sniffs through the reed] Hey, I can smell the ocean!
- Fast Tony: D'oh! [takes the reed out of Stu's nose] What are you doing? I can't sell that now! You suck air through your mouth, you moron. [shoves Stu's head in the water] Through it's essential design and sturdy construction, you'll have plenty of air for eons to come! [releases Stu, allowing him to breathe] Of course, results may vary. [gets grabbed by Manny's trunk and yanked towards said mammoth] Hey!
- Manny: Why are you scaring everybody with this doomsday stuff?
- Fast Tony: [laughs] I'm trying to make a living here, pal.
- [He curls up, frees himself from Manny's trunk and bounces over to an block of ice before uncurling and standing on it]
- Fast Tony: It's all part of my accu-weather forecast. The five day outlook is calling for intense flooding, followed by the end of the world!
- Everyone: [gasps]
- Fast Tony: But a slight chance of patchy sunshine, later in the week.
- Manny: Come on, don't listen to him. Fast Tony would sell his own mother for a grape.
- Fast Tony: Are you making an offer. [looking away from Manny] I mean no, I wouldn't not!
- Male Start: Haven't you heard? The ice is melting.
- Manny: You see this ground? It's covered in ice. A thousand years ago, it was covered in ice. A thousand years from now, it will still be ice.
- Male Anteater: Say, buddy, uh, not to cast aspersions on your survival instincts or nothing but haven't mammoths pretty much gone extinct?
- Manny: What are you talking about?
- Male Anteater: I'm talking about you being the last of your kind.
- Manny: Ahh, your breath smells like ants.
- [The male anteater sniffs his breath and recoils in disgust]
- Male Anteater: Phew. Be that as it may, when's the last time you saw another mammoth?
- [Manny looks upset cause it's bringing back his past memories]
- Diego: Ah, don't pay any attention to him, Manny.
- Manny: Mammoths can't go extinct. They're the biggest things on Earth.
- Female Gastornis: Well, what about the dinosaurs?
- Manny: The dinosaurs got cocky. They made enemies.
- Male Macrauchenia: Look, some idiot's going down the Eviscerator!
- Manny: [to Diego; sighs] Oh, please tell me it's not our idiot.
- Sid: [On the top of a glacier] Okay! I'm gonna jump on the count of three! One...! Two...!
- Manny: Sid! Don't move a muscle. We're coming up!
- Animals: Jump, jump, jump...!
- Diego: [Joining in] Jump, jump, jump! [notices Manny glaring at him] Sorry.
- Sid: Two and three one thousands. Two and four one thousands.
- Manny: Sid, what are you doing? Get down from there!
- Sid: No way! I'm gonna be the first to jump off the Eviscerator and then you guys are gonna have to start showing me some respect.
- Manny: You jump off this, the only respect you're gonna get is respect for the dead!
- Diego: Come on, Manny, he's not that stupid.
- [Sid prepares to jump]
- Diego: But I've been wrong before.
- Sid: Geronimo!
- [Sid jumps but Manny catches him with his trunk and pulls him back. He throws Sid behind him but ends up sliding into him and they start sliding toward Diego]
- Manny and Sid: [screaming]
- Diego: Hey, watch it!
- [They ram into Diego and send him spinning onto a flat patch of ice and landing flat on his face. Manny and Sid have landed in a heap]
- Sid: [Laid on by Manny] I can't breathe. [tries to get out] I think I just coughed up my spleen.
- [Then, the ice beneath Diego's feet cracks and he looks worried before running as the gap widens beneath him to reveal water. Diego leaps onto Manny clinging onto his face looking scared]
- Manny: Uh, Diego? Retract the claws, please?
- Diego: Oh, right. Sorry.
- [Diego gets off Manny to the ground]
- Sid: You know, if I didn't know you better Diego, I'd think you're afraid of the water. [laughs]
- [Diego grabs Sid with a paw on his throat and growls]
- Sid: [chokes] Okay. Okay. Good thing. I know you better.
- Manny: Guys. Fast Tony was right. Everything is melting.
- [They gaze out at the vast ocean ahead of them as the camera pans out to reveal an aerial view of the valley]
- Manny: It's all gonna flood. [walking away] Come on. We've gotta warn them.
- Sid: Hmm. Maybe we can rapidly evolve into water creatures.
- Diego: That's genius, Sid. [heads off after Manny]
- Sid: Call me 'Squid'.
- [Sid follows Diego and Manny]
- Sid: Yeesh, this whole thing's a piece of junk. I can't believe I live here.
- [Sid bounces up and down on the ground and a rumbling noise is heard. Manny and Diego stop hearing the noise and look at Sid who shrugs]
- Sid: What?
- [The ice beneath them breaks sending them all falling back down to the water park below]
- Manny, Diego and Sid: AAAAAAARRRRRRGHHHHH!!!!
- Fast Tony: Forget reeds. I present you with this revolutionary gizmo we call bark. It's so buoyant, it actually floats!
- Male Start: I'll show you something that floats! [laughs]
- Fast Tony: Oh, all right. It's your funeral.
- [Manny, Diego and Sid slide towards Fast Tony, who curls up upon seeing them coming, but stop just moments before they hit him. Tony looks at Manny and uncurls]
- Fast Tony: You see, this is exactly what I'm talking about! Giant balls of furry lava! The sizes of mammoths! Raining from the sky!
- Male Shovelmouth: Ah, go suck air through a reed!
- Manny: You've gotta listen to him! He's right about the flood!
- Fast Tony: [Confused at Manny's sudden support] I am? I mean, uh, yes, I am.
- Deer: Wait a minute. You're the one who said there wasn't going to be a flood. Why should we listen to you?
- Manny: Because we saw what's up there! The dam's gonna break! The entire valley's gonna flood!
- Animals: [laugh]
- Lone Gunslinger: Flood's real all right. And it's coming fast! Look around. You're in a bowl. Bowl's gonna fill up, ain't no way out.
- [The animals murmur worriedly among themselves]
- Female Deer: What are we going to do?!
- Lone Gunslinger: Unless, you can make it to the end of the valley. There's a boat. It can save you.
- Male Start: I don't see anything.
- Lone Gunslinger: But, y'all better hurry. Grounds melting, walls tumbling, rocks crumbing. Survive that, and you'll be racing the water. Cause in three days time, it's gonna hit the geyser fields. BOOM!
- Animals: [gasp]
- [A male beaver faints
- Lone Gunslinger: There is some good news, though. The more of you die, the better I eat.
- Animals: [gasp]
- [The female beaver faints again]
- Lone Gunslinger: I didn't say it was good news for you.
- [The Gunslinger flies away]
- Sid: Ooh, he must've been a real pleasure to have in class.
- [Then a rumbling noise is heard and everyone looks to see a chunk of ice break off from the dam and fall towards them]
- Everyone: [screaming]
- [The animals run as the ice continues to fall and crashes into the valley. A start quickly slides down and ice slide before it falls towards a baby beaver. The female beaver snatches the baby beaver out of the way before the slide hits the ground causing it to shake. The female beaver puts the baby beaver down before looking up at the dam]
- Male Beaver: Dam!
- Manny: All right, you heard the scary vulture. Let's move out.
- [The animals start moving out of the water park]
- Diego: Manny, do you really think there's a boat?
- Manny: I don't know but in a few days this place is gonna to be a mile underwater. If there's any hope, it's that way.
- [Manny, Sid, Diego and the Irelanders head off. Manny suddenly hears something and turns.]
- [He saw a big chunk of ice in the water that's creaking as it melts and turns in the water. Manny frowns at it, curious. Diego comes back]
- Diego: Manny! Let's go!
- [Manny looks at the ice chunk one more time then leaves. The ice chunk turns to reveal a purple Pilosaur named Cretaceous being frozen in it. It's eye turns to the camera, indicating that it's beginning to thaw out. The animals continue on their long trek to the boat with two vultures watching them]
- Vulture: We've got an overturned Glyptodon in the far right lane. Traffic backed up as far as the eye can see.
- Lone Gunslinger: Ooh, and it looks like there might be a fatality.
- [The vulture licks it's beak hungrily]
- Lone Gunslinger: I call the dark meat!
- [The Gunslinger and the vulture fly off. A Female Gastornis sits in her nest as chicks climb in]
- Female Gastornis: All right, everybody, let's go. Come on. Come, come, come. Get in.
- [She stands up with her nest carrying her chicks and walks off. Meanwhile, four baby hedgehogs are trying to pull an elderly grey male one out of a hole]
- Baby Hedgehogs: [straining] Come on, Grandpa! Come on! We have to go!
- Grandpa Hedgehog: Well, I'm not leaving! [climbing back into the hole] I was born in this hole and I'll die in this hole!
- [A female start walks past a family of dung beetles. The male blue dung beetle is rolling a giant dung ball along]
- Dung Beetle Dad: [rolling a ball of dung] Do we have to bring this crap? I'm sure there's crap where we're going.
- Dung Beetle Mom: Oh. This was a gift from my mother.
- Manny: Okay, keep it moving, keep it moving.
- Sid: Manny, Manny. I've just heard you're going extinct. [eats some blueberries]
- Diego: Hey, if you ever master hygiene, try working on sensitivity.
- Manny: I'm not going extinct!
- Male Anteater: Hey, kids. Look. The last mammoth.
- Anteater Kids: Wow.
- Male Anteater: Well, you probably won't see another one of those again.
- Sid: See?
- Male Anteater: Okay, one, two, three... [realizes someone's missing] Where is James? [looks back]
- [Back at the waterpark, James is sticking his nose in the water and blowing bubbles]
- James: [giggles]
- [He keeps blowing bubbles. In the water below, something is moving towards him which James doesn't notice up that something comes out of the water]
- James: [screams and runs off]
- Stu: [giggles and snorts]
- [Stu dives back underwater and uses the reed as a snorkel. But just then something grabs Stu beneath the surface]
- Stu: [yelps]
- [Stu and the reed disappear under the water. Fast Tony walks past the pool Stu was in]
- Fast Tony: Stu! Come on, Stu! Let's blow this ice cube stand!
- [Stu's shell comes flying out of the water and lands next to Fast Tony who jumps back, startled]
- Fast Tony: [yelps and looks into the shell Stu!
- [The shell is empty. Tony stares at it for a moment before running after the animals, getting an idea]
- Fast Tony: Folks! Be the first in the valley to have your very own mobile home!
- [As Tony runs off, Cretaceous and Maelstrom appears from the water and watch them before swimming after them.]
- [Meanwhile, Scrat is scurrying along the ice when he sees his acorn underneath him, much to his delight]
- Scrat: [squeals in delight]
- [He tries to get to his acorn but got his teeth on the ice. He pulls them out then jumps up and down on the ice many times. The ice cracks and flips Scrat underneath and the acorn on top. Scrat pushes on the ice again and the same thing happens. He tried to climb out and grab the acorn but the ice keeps turning over and over like a water with Scrat running on it until it flicks the acorn and Scrat is once again underneath the ice as the acorn slides away. Scrat swims after it and pokes his nose out of the ice and sniffs in, accidentally pulling the acorn onto it and stopping him from breathing]
- Scrat: [whimpers]
- [Underneath the ice, Scrat's eyes bulge and he blows the acorn off before squeezing his head through the hole. He uses his teeth to cut a circle around him and climbs out of the water wearing a huge ice collar. He tries to get to his acorn but the ice collar around his neck makes it difficult. He ends up falling over and rolling around the acorn. Scrat tries to get to the acorn but the collar falls on top of him sending the acorn rolling onto a patch of ice in the water. Scrat gets up and wobbles to the edge of the glacier he's on but the collar is so heavy that Scrat falls off the glacier onto the ice, sending the acorn flying to the top of a tall glacier. Scrat whimpers as he looks at it. Meanwhile, two ice chunks of ice break off of the dam and fall into the valley below. Sid looks back at this before walking to catch up with the others]
- Sid: Oh!
- [They head through fields of grass]
- Sid: ♪ Someday / When you've gone extinct / When you make a stink... ♪
- Manny: Shut up, Sid.
- Sid: Okay. [Later] ♪ Stop, hey~ what's that sound? All the mammoths are in the ground~ ♪
- Manny: Stop singing, Sid!
- Sid: [The next morning] ♪ If your species will continue, clap your hands. ♪ [claps his paw twice] ♪ If your species will... ♪
- Manny: Sid, I'm gonna fall on you again and this time, I will kill you.
- Sid: Okay, someone doesn't like the classics.
- [They carrying on walking until Manny stops and looks sadly at a bunch of icicles. He then thinks about what the male anteater said]
- Manny: What if you're right? What if I am the last mammoth?
- Sid: But Manny, look at the bright side. You have us.
- Diego: Not your most persuasive argument, Sid.
- [Just then, there is a loud trumpeting sound in the distance]
- Diego: Mammoths?
- Manny: [excited and picking Sid up with his tusks] I knew I couldn't be the last one! I felt it in my trunk! [runs off with Sid on his back]
- Sid: Whoa!
- [Manny runs through some trees with Sid bobbing up and down on his back, uprooting them in the process. Diego follows]
- Sid: [judders then ducks to avoid a low hanging branch] Whoa!
- [The trumpeting is heard again and Manny turns left with Diego following]
- Manny: Extinct. Come on!
- [Diego manages to catch up with Manny and Sid]
- Sid: And he's coming round the corner. And he's by a couple of fifths. And he's ahead by a tusk! Oh, he's beating Diego as Diego is coming round the corner! Whoa! Aargh! Ow, ow, ow. [groans]
- [Manny stops, throwing Sid off his back and sending him sliding toward a log where a bear named Cholly is sitting. Cholly farts in Sid's face, revealing it was him who made the trumpeting noise]
- Cholly: Sorry. My stomach hates me.
- Sid: [gets up and goes back to the others holding his nose] Sheesh, well, don't that put the stink in extinction.
- Diego: Phew.
- Sid: Phew! Sheesh! Ew! Nasty!
- [Manny looks down sadly and walks off, which Diego and Sid notice]
- Sid: Manny?
- Manny: [stops and looks back] I, uh... I need to be alone for a while. You go on ahead. I'll catch up. [walks away]
- Sid: One truly is the loneliest number.
- Sid: Ow!
- Diego: Ow! Hey!
- Crash: Ohh, these work great!!
- Eddie: Cool!
- Crash: Missed me, missed me! Try and come and kiss me!!
- Sid: I'll get 'em!
- Crash: Which end is up?
- Eddie: I dunno, That makes two!
- Crash: Hey, ugly!
- Sid: Ow! I've got to sit on that! Got you!
- Crash: Uh-oh.
- Diego: Boo.
- Sid: OK! I'm going in!
- Diego: Sid!
- Sid: What?!
- Crash: Nice miss.
- Sid: Cover your side.
- Crash: I felt some breeze in that one!
- Sid: Out of my way!
- Diego: Sid.
- Eddie: Hello!
- Crash: Over here!
- [Sid & Diego are tangled up after trying to catch Crash & Eddie]
- Crash: Surrender?
- Sid and Diego: Never!
- Crash and Eddie: Cool!
- [They shoot out of their holes in slow motion, and rapidly shoot pebbles out of the blow-dart shooters at Diego and Sid, who fell onto the ground]
- Crash: Smoke them.
- Diego: [to Sid] If any one asks. there were 50 of them, And, they were, rattlesnakes.
- [Crash and Eddie act like chickens until Diego roars and runs after them]
- Crash: Here, kitty, kitty.
- Diego: Big mistakes you miscreants!
- Eddie: Miscreants? [starts laughing along with Crash]
- Sid: Uh, Diego, they're possums.
- [Crash and Eddie act like chickens until Diego roars and runs after them]
- Crash: [hops into Eddie's arms] Retreat!
- [Eddie runs away screaming as Diego chases them.]
- [We fade for the scene where Manny walk and felt alone and look for the pond water]
- Manny: I guess it's just you and me now. [looks around, and Ellie screaming and break tree branch] I knew it! I knew I wasn't the only one!
- Ellie: Me too! Everyone falls out of the tree every now and then, they just don't admit it!
- Manny: Wait, what?
- Ellie: Some of us have a tough time holding on to branches. I mean it's not like we're bats or something, We don't have wings to keep us up!
- Manny: And you were in the tree. because?
- Ellie: I was looking for my brothers. They are always getting into trouble.
- Manny: Brothers? You mean there's more?
- Ellie: Sure! There lots of us.
- Manny: Where?
- Ellie: Everywhere, under rocks and holes in the ground. Usually we come out at night, so birds don't carry us off!
- Manny: Huh?
- Crash and Eddie: Help! Help! Help!
- Sid: Well, shave me down and call me a mole-rat!! You've found another mammoth!
- [Sid realizes Manny has found another mammoth]
- Ellie: Where? Wait a minute! I thought mammoths were extinct! [pauses] What are looking at me for?
- Manny: I don't know, Maybe because you are a mammoth?
- Ellie: Me?! Don't be ridiculous! I'm not a mammoth! I'm a possum!
- Manny: [sarcastically] Right, good one! I'm a newt, This is my friend, the badger, and my other friend the platypus!
- Sid: Why do I got to be the platypus! Make him the platypus!
- Crash: This guy giving you trouble, Sis?
- Manny, Sid, and Diego: [in shocked] "Sis"?!
- Ellie: That's right, these are my brothers, Possum, Possum, Possum.
- Manny: I don't think her tree goes all the way to the top branch!
- Sid: Manny, the brink of extinction is a bad time to be picky. Hey, she should come with us!
- Manny: Are you insane? No way!
- Sid: OK! Manny wants me to ask you if you'd like to escape the flood with us.
- Manny: What the?
- Eddie: I'd rather be road kill!
- Diego: That could be arranged!
- Ellie: Ha, funny! [pulls Eddie and Crash away] Let me have a little word with my brothers.
- Eddie: Ellie! Are you crazy? Were not going with them!
- Ellie: Look, well never make it in time if we only travel at night, These guys can protect us out in the open. What do you say?
- Sid: Ow!
- Manny: [to Sid] Why did you invite them?
- Sid: Because you might be the only two mammoths left on earth.
- Diego: He has a point!
- Manny: I'm sorry. When did I join this dating service?
- Ellie: My brothers and I would be delighted to come with you,
- Crash: If you treat us nicely! See that! That's the total opposite of nice!
- Diego: Maybe we'll have ourselves a little snack before we hit the road.
- Eddie: Want a piece of us? let's go!
- [Crash leaps onto Diego.]
- Crash: Bansai!
- Sid: I got him! Ow!
- Crash: You know the best part? Were carrying diseases!
- [Sid, Diego and the possum duo are fighting when they heard ice cracking and Diego spits him out]
- Manny: OK! Thanks to Sid, we're now travelling together, and like it or not, we're going to be one big happy family! I'll be the daddy, Ellie will be the mommy, And Diego will be the uncle who eats the kids who get on my nerves! Now lets move, before the ground falls out from under our feet! [walks away]
- Ellie: I thought fat guys are suppose to be jolly.
- Manny: I'm not fat! It's this fur that makes me look big! It's poofy!
- Ellie: [chuckling] Oh, okay. [to Crash and Eddie] He's fat.
- Fast Tony: Folks! Escape from the flood is a, perfect time to shed those unsightly pounds, with fast Tony's, disaster diet! You, ma'm! You look like a big fat hairy beast! How'd you like to lose a tonne or two of that?
- Female Ox: Would I ever!
- Male Ox: Don't listen to him, Vera! You're already thin as a twig.
- Fast Tony: I also have the perfect cure for your eyesight, my blind friend!
- Manny: Ohh, We'll never make it at this pace! Ellie, it's okay! You can lose the camouflage!
- Ellie: You're safe! OK, safe? Please!! Crash, Eddie, You two, Go scope it out.
- Crash: What you got?
- Eddie: Perimeter looks to be all clear captain.
- Crash: Roger that, four-niner, over!
- Eddie: Roger. Over!
- Crash: All clear!
- Eddie: Hawk!!
- [Ellie gasps. All three of the mammals fall and play dead.]
- Manny: What are you doing?
- Ellie: Playing dead.
- Sid: Manny, Why don't you do that?
- Manny: Because, I'm a mammoth!
- Sid: But you do it for treats, right?
- Ellie: Is he gone?
- Manny: You're safe! Get up.
- Ellie: [gets up] Man!, if you weren't here, that hawk would have swooped down, and snatched me up for dinner! That's how Cousin Wilson went.
- [A while later, Manny and Ellie walk down the path.]
- Ellie: Boy, I really feel for you, I do! I can't even imagine what it would be like, to be the last one of your species.
- Manny: I'm not the last one.
- Ellie: Oh, You brave, brave soul, that's right, don't give up hope.
- Manny: Ellie? Look at our footprints, they're the same shape.
- Ellie: Well, how do I know those aren't your footprints?
- Manny: Well, then, look at our shadows. we match!
- Ellie: You're right! We're the same! You must be part possum!
- Crash: You wish!
- Manny: Diego, there are whole continents moving faster than you, lets go! We got to catch up with the others!
- Diego: Hey! Knock it off!!
- Crash: Oh, cry me a river, blubber tooth tiger. Have some fun!
- Diego: Can't you see the ice is thin enough. without you two wearing it down?
- Sid: Oh, Diego. The ice may be thin, but it's strong enough to hold, a ten ton mammoth and a nine ton possum!
- [???]
- Sid: Mammal overboard!
- Eddie: Ellie, get up!
- Crash: If you play dead, you'll be dead! Look at me!
- [He slapped her eye, making her cry out awake. They all ran to the shore. Sid struggled to swim and tried to reach the ice cap Diego is on.]
- Sid: Diego? Diego! Come on, Come on! This may sting a little.
- [He bites Diego's tail and they got out of the way.]
- Sid: What in the animal kingdom was that?
- Diego: I don't know, but from now on, playing safe. Water? Not safe.
- [They walk away and back to the forest.]
- Ellie: That, was the bravest thing I've ever seen.
- Manny: It was nothing really,..
- Ellie: Oh! It's not a compliment, To a possum, bravery is just dumb!
- Crash: Yeah! Were spineless.
- Eddie: Lily-livered!
- Ellie: Maybe mammoths are going extinct because they put themselves in danger too often! Maybe you should run away more!
- Manny: Good point! Thanks for the advice!
- Ellie: Happy to help!
- Manny: Do you believe her?! [Manny imitates Ellie.] "Bravery is just dumb. Maybe you should run away." [Normal voice] She's infuriating and stubborn and narrow-minded!
- Sid: Ooh, you like her.
- Manny: I do not!
- Sid: Oh, don't worry. Your secret is safe with me. [To Diego] Oh, and so is yours.
- Diego: What secret?
- Sid: You know, the one where you can't swim?
- Diego: That's ridiculous.
- Sid: Fine, but we're living in a melting world buddy! You're gonna have to face your fears, sooner, or later.
- [Back at the dam, Scrat is trying to get to his acorn by sliding on an ice slide. He readies himself then thrusts himself forward the slide. He grabs his acorn and hugs it as they land in the water. Scrat opens his eyes to see himself surrounded by piranhas who opens their teeth hungrily. Scrat springs out of the water with piranhas lunging at him.]
- Scrat: [screaming]
- [The piranhas lung at him until one chomps down on Scrat's hand, swallowing the acorn. Scrat narrows his eyes and grabs a piranha.]
- Scrat: [karate screams]
- [He kung fu all the piranhas and before one can get away, he steps on it, causing it to spit the acorn out. As he starts to walk away, a condor snatches the acorn and carries it to it's nice on a glacier. Scrat whimpers at this. Meanwhile, a tree trunk is rolled to the edge of a cliff by Crash and Eddie.]
- Crash: Okay. Ready, Eddie?
- Eddie: Set. [They get ready.] Let's roll!
- Crash: [They push the trunk over the edge and Crash jumps in.] Yee-haw!
- Eddie: Wait for me! [Eddie jumps onto the log and runs on it as they roll down the hill. They pass Manny, Sid and Diego followed by Ellie.]
- Ellie: Whoo-hoo! [The possums' log hits a tree while Ellie goes up and over it and carries on.] No brakes! Gotta roll! Meet you at the other end!
- Manny: [referring to Ellie and her bizarre antics] So, you think she's the girl for me?
- Sid: Oh, yeah. She's tons of fun and you're no fun at all. She completes you.
- [Crash and Eddie stumble out of their log. They go to high-five but Eddie misses.]
- Crash and Eddie: Yeah.
- Crash: Hey. Hey, Manny. Can I pull back the tree and shoot me into the pond?
- Manny: No.
- Crash: Aw, come on.
- Sid: Now, how do you except to impress Ellie with that attitude?!
- Manny: I don't wanna impress her!
- Sid: Then why're you trying so hard to convince her that she's a mammoth?
- Manny: [loudly remarked] Because that's what she is! I don't care if she thinks she's a possum! You can't be two things!
- Sid: On contrary, Man-Fer-Red. Tell that to the bullfrog, the chicken-hawk or turtledove.
- Diego: He's never gonna let up on you. It'll be easier on all of us if you just go with it.
- Manny: [Manny groans, goes over to Crash, who's standing on a small tree.] So, uh, what do you want me to do?
- Crash: Pull back the tree and shoot me into the pond.
- Manny: [Manny looks from the tree to the pond.] I don't know.
- Crash: Well, if you're too lame to do it, we can get Ellie.
- Manny: No, no. I can do it. I can do it. [Manny pulls the tree back with his trunk.]
- Crash: Yeah, yeah. Come on. Come on!
- Manny: Have you done this before?
- Crash: Ha! Only a million times. Farther... farther... farther... [Manny pulls it back so far that the end of the branch is resting on the ground.] Perfect! FIRE! [Manny let go off the tree; Crash goes soaring through the air.] Yeah! I can FLYYYYYYYY! [Crash soars past Ellie and sings.] ♪ I believe I can fly--! ♪ [Crash rams headfirst into an oak tree, and falls to the ground, unconscious, leaving behind an impression of himself in the trunk.]
- Eddie: [screams] Ah! Crash! [runs towards him]
- Manny: Uh-oh.
- Eddie: [holding onto him] Crash! Crash! Crash, you okay?
- Ellie: [arrives] What happened?
- Eddie: Manny shot him out of a tree!
- Ellie: What's wrong with you?
- Manny: He said he could do it!
- Ellie: And you listened to him!
- Eddie: Crash, whatever you do, don't go into the light!
- Manny: Can I help in any way here?
- Ellie: You've done enough.
- Manny: [to Sid] Are you happy now?
- Eddie: Crash, Crash, don't leave me! [crying bitterly] Who's gonna watch my back? Who's gonna be my Wingman of Mayhem? [Eddie starts to cry.] Who's gonna roll in that dung patch with me?!
- Crash: [wakes up.] Dung patch?
- [Eddie stops crying and saw his brother is awake. Ellie looks relieved.]
- Crash: Wait, my legs! I can stand.
- Eddie: He can stand!
- Crash: I can run!
- Eddie: He can run! It's a miracle!
- Ellie: Hallelujah! Yee-haw! Oh, yeah! [Ellie stops when she sees the others staring at her.] What can I say? They're boys! They make my life a little adventure! [To Crash and Eddie] You guys are so dead! Thanks for embarrassing me!
- Crash and Eddie: Ow! Argh! Not the face!
- [Manny, Sid and Diego all cringe as Ellie hits her brothers off-screen. As evening fell, Manny pushes some trees out of the way with his trunk. Sid pulls a twig from a trunk and fell over. As Manny picks up another log, he saw Ellie playing with Crash and Eddie.]
- Ellie: [laughing]
- Crash and Eddie: Ellie! Ellie! Me too!
- Diego: She's not half bad, crazy and confused, but, Sweet!
- Manny: So?
- Diego: So what's holding you back?
- Manny: My family.
- Sid: You can have that again, you know.
- Manny: No, Sid. I can't.
- Sid: 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!
- Ellie: Wait, wait! I got you!
- Manny: Need help?
- Ellie: No, no! Just catching my breath.
- Manny: You're stuck.
- Ellie: I am not!
- Manny: All right then, let's go.
- Ellie: I can't, I'm stuck.
- [Manny goes over and pulls the log off of Ellie.]
- Manny: Don't you think that, picking them up like this, would be easier?
- [The moment he threw the log away, They notice a group of willow leaves. Ellie began to follow the path.]
- Manny: Ellie?
- [He began to follow Ellie while Diego and Sid walk the other way.]
- Ellie: I know this place.
- Ellie: [when she recognizes a familiar place] You know, deep down, I knew I was different. I was a little bigger than the other possum kids. [Manny looks at her.] Okay, a lot bigger. Oh. Now I understand why the possum boys didn't find me appealing!
- Manny: That's too bad. Because, as far as mammoths go, you're... you know...
- Ellie: What?
- Manny: Well, um, uh, well. Attractive.
- Ellie: Really?
- Manny: Sure.
- Ellie: What about me is attractive?
- Manny: Huh? Wha? Oh. Well, uh, I dunno. [stammers] Well...there's your uh, butt.
- Ellie: What about it?
- Manny: It's... big?
- Ellie: [sincerely] Oh, you're just saying that.
- Manny: No, no. No, I mean it. It's huge! Biggest darn butt I've ever seen.
- Ellie: Oh, that is really sweet! What a crazy day. This morning, I woke up a possum and now...I'm a mammoth.
- [Sid is making a fire at a clearing. He looked around, seeing the bushes rustle, thinking it was Crash and Eddie.]
- Sid: Boy, Manny sure took a big leap with Ellie today,
- Diego: [lies down] He sure did.
- Sid: Yup. He stood on the shore of uncertainty, and dove right in, Splash!! Kind of brave, huh? The way he faced his fear.
- Diego: I wouldn't know, Saber's don't feel fear.
- Sid: Oh, come on! All animals feel fear, It's what separates us from safe! Rocks! Rocks have no fear, [tosses rock into the water] and they sink.
- Diego: What are you getting at, Sid?
- Sid: It may surprise you to know that I too, have experienced, fear!
- Diego: No! You?
- Sid: Oh, yes! As impossible as it seems, the sloth has natural enemies that would like to, harm, or otherwise, kill us.
- Diego: I wonder why?
- Sid: Oh, jealousy mostly. But the point is, that fear is natural.
- Diego: Fear, is for prey.
- Sid: Well then, You're letting the water make you, it's prey! Just jump in and trust your instincts! [leaps into the bushes] You know, most animals can swim as babies, and for a tiger, It's 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 I'm breathing! and I'm stalking and I'm stalking, I am falling.
- Diego: Correction. You're sinking, kind of like a rock.
- Ellie: 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!
- Manny: Ellie, do you realize that, now we have a chance to save our species?
- Ellie: Really? How are we going to do that?
- Manny: Well, you know,
- Ellie: Did you just?!
- Manny: No, I didn't mean.
- Ellie: I'm not a mammoth for five minutes, and you're hittin' on me?
- Manny: I wasn't saying, not right now. I'm, in time, ! I was just saying that its, our responsibility,
- Ellie: What?!
- Manny: That came out wrong! You're very pretty, But, we just met,
- Ellie: 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!
- Diego: So, how did it go?
- Manny: Hmm! Not bad,
- Ellie: [storms into the campsite] OK, let's go! We travelled with you all day, now you coming with us at night!
- Manny: But we can't see at night.
- Ellie: Then enjoy the flood.
- Eddie: I can't even look at him!
- Crash: Pervert! [makes the 'I'm watching you' gesture towards Manny]
- Sid: [sarcastically] Making friends, everywhere you go. Just making friends.
- Crash: Watch out, there's a stump!
- Sid: Not anymore.
- Manny: [walks up to Ellie, who's still upset with him] I thought we could walk together.
- Ellie: Crash, ask the man why he thinks that?
- Crash: She said she thinks you are a jerk, and to go away!
- Manny: She didn't say-- [hits his head on a rock] Ow! Look! Maybe if we spend more time. [hits a stump] Ow!
- Ellie: Tell him that I need a little personal space right here!
- Crash: [hangs upside down in front of Manny] She said, go jump in a lake.
- Eddie: ...and possums rule! [fist bumps Crash]
- Manny: I can hear her, you know?
- Crash: What do you want? A medal?
- [Suddenly, both possum brothers fell into the mist. As Ellie move forward, the ground raises up like a see-saw. Diego hangs on to it with Sid clinging to his back legs. With such tiny space, Manny and Ellie keep bumping into each other. Crash and Eddie are on a rock further below them.]
- Diego: Stop moving! [The two mammoths do so and the rocky platforms stop.] Thank you.
- [The rocks holding the platform break, making it move again and Sid loses his grip and falls down though he manages to hold onto another rocky platform.]
- Diego: [The platform which Ellie is standing on starts to break underneath her.] Manny! Ellie! Lock trunks! [Manny and Ellie glare at each other.] Now! [The two wrap their trunks and walk up the rock, keeping it in balance.] Crash! Eddie! Grab onto that ledge!
- [The two possums see a ledge that could be their only chance of survival then look down to the abyss.]
- Eddie: [Crash and Eddie laugh.] Funny. Now what's your real plan?
- Diego: Just do it!
- Crash: Bye, Eddie!
- Eddie: Bye, Crash!
- Crash: Bye, Ellie!
- Diego: Go, now!
- [Crash stretch out and grab the ledge with Eddie holding on to his tail.]
- Manny: [to Ellie] Um, uh, I'm sorry if what I said before offended you.
- Ellie: What do you mean "if" it offended me?
- Crash: "That" it offended her! That it offended her!
- Manny: I meant that! That it offended you. You just overreacted, that's all.
- Ellie: What?!
- Crash: Take it back!
- Eddie: There are other lives at sake here!
- Sid: Wait a minute! He's got a point!
- Crash: He's got nothing!
- Sid: It was a misunderstanding!
- Eddie: It was insensitive!
- Diego: Apologize!
- Manny: Why me?! She overreacted!
- Diego: Just apologize!
- Manny: No!
- Diego: Do it!
- Ellie: Okay, I'm sorry!
- Together: What?!
- Ellie: He's right! I overreacted.
- Manny: You mean you...?
- Diego: Not another word or I'll come down there and push you over myself!
- Sid: Got it. I got it. Aaah. [Rocks tip over.] Uh-oh. [Manny and Ellie lock trunks when the rocks collapse.
- Diego: Manny, Ellie! Run! RUN!!!
- [Manny, Ellie, Crash and Eddie all run from their lives, Diego runs fast as he can but misses until Manny and Ellie catch him with their trunks leaving him dangling off the cliff.
- Ellie: I guess we finally did something right together. [Manny and Ellie smiling at each other.]
- Diego: [interrupts] Hey, if you don't mind me, just hangin' out on the edge of a cliff here. Hoo. [Manny and Ellie pull Diego up on top.]
- Sid: Remember the good old days?
- Diego: Which good old days?
- Sid: Oh, you know. Yesterday, last week, Back when the trees when up and down, and the ground stayed under our feet!
- Diego: Yup! Those were the good days! Possums were possums and, mammoths were mammoths, We should get some sleep.
- Sid: Yeah, tomorrow is the day the vulture said we're all gonna die!
- [Ellie picked up a sleeping Crash and Eddie up on a tree for them to hang her tails. Then Ellie did the same.]
- Sid: No, no, no. I don't want any, No, no, no, no, Wait a minute! Can I help you? Hmmm! Now, that's what I call respect! Nice! Somebody here likes Sid. Who is the decorator? I mean, this is fabulous.
- Female Mini Sloth: Fire King.
- Sid: Huh? [Sid gets up and takes the rocks from the mini sloth and look at the other mini sloths.] Fire King? Hmm! Well, you know it's about time someone recognized my true potential. Let there be fire! [Sid hits the two rocks together, creating sparks which falls on the vines causing them to light up the rock stature of his head.]
- Mini Sloths: Ooh.
- Sid: [sniffing] [Sid looks down to see that his foot is standing on a burning vine and is smoking.] Aah! Hot, hot, hot!
- Mini Sloths: [The mini sloths mimic Sid.] Hot, hot, hot, hot!
- Sid: Hey.
- Mini Sloths: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Sid: Aaah. [does a whoop]
- Mini Sloths: [do whoops]
- Sid: Hee-hee. Wacka, wacka, wacka, wacka.
- Mini Sloths: Wacka, wacka, wacka, wacka.
- Sid: [doing gorilla noises]
- Mini Sloths: [do gorilla noises]
- Sid: [does tongue waggles]
- Mini Sloths: [do tongue waggles]
- Sid: [stuttering while laying on the ground, hopping in a circle]
- Mini Sloths: [stuttering while laying on the ground, hopping on the ground in a circle]
- Sid: Bing-boinging, bing-boinging.
- Mini Sloths: Bing-boinging, bing-boinging.
- [The mini sloths lifts Sid above them and they all danced and sing together.]
- Sid: If only the guys could see me now! [Then Sid got tied up in vines by the mini sloths, much to his surprise.] This is either really good or really bad...? [The mini sloths lead Sid to a lava pit.] Aaargh! Oh, no, no, no, no. Me Fire King. Why kill Fire King? A thousand years, bad juju for killing fire king!
- Female Mini Sloth: Superheated rock from the Earth's core, is surging to the crust, melting ice, built up over thousands of years!
- Sid: You're a very advanced race. Together, we can look for a solution!
- Female Mini Sloth: We have one. Sacrifice the Fire King.
- Sid: Well, that's not very advanced.
- Female Mini Sloth: Worth a shot. [She points at two other mini sloths who kicked the bark which rolls on small log conveyers and Sid falls over the edge.]
- Sid: No, no! Aaaaah!
- Mini Sloths: [cheering]
- Sid: Aaaaah! [The vines got caught on a ledge which unravels Sid closer to the lava until they got wrapped on Sid's leg and dangles him just inches from the lava which stings his head.] Ah! Aaaaah! [The vines launched Sid from the lava and send him flying into the statue head. Sid saw that his head is still sizzling.] Aah, aah!
- [His movement makes the head statue move as the mini sloths look up in distress.]
- Female Mini Sloth: Bad juju!
- [The head starts to roll down from it's main frame.]
- Mini Sloths: [screaming]
- [As it hit the ground, the eye part broke off and roll away with Sid inside it.
- Sid: Ow. Ow, ow, ow.
- [The screen fades to black.]
- [It changes to Diego sleeping before yawning and stretches his paws as he wake up, only to feel water beneath them.]
- Diego: Water. Water!
- [Diego jumps onto Manny in fright, which makes him wake up startled.]
- Manny: Aaah!
- [Manny stumbles back and bumps into the tree, knocking Ellie, Crash and Eddie down and splash into the water.
- Eddie: Crash, I told you not to drink before bed.
- Crash: I didn't do this! At least not all of it.
- Ellie: What's happening?
- Manny: We overslept. We need to move.
- [The herd is about to move]
- Eddie: What if we're last creatures left alive? We'll have to repopulate the earth!
- Crash: How? Everyone's either a dude or a sister!
- [Sid arrives]
- Sid: Hi, hey, Manny, Wow, what a night! You'll never guess what happened to me.
- Diego: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you were sleepwalking.
- Sid: Oh, no, no, no. I was kidnapped by a tribe of mini-sloths.
- Diego: That was going to be my second guess.
- Sid: And they worship me, I mean sure, they tossed me into a flaming tar pit, but they worship me!!
- Manny: Sid, you were dreaming! Come on, The water's rising faster than we're moving!
- Sid: I'm telling you! I was kidnapped, I was worshipped and they, Guys?! Oh, fine!
- [Later, the herd are at the canyons.]
- Sid: Can we slow down a little? I'm dying here, It was just a figure of speech!
- Manny: They just sit there, watching us.
- Sid: I wish l knew what they were thinking.
- Lone Gunslinger: [singing] Food, glorious food, we're anxious to try it.
- Female Vulture: [singing] Three banquets a day, our favorite diet!
- Child Vulture: [singing] Just picture a mammoth steak, - fried, roasted, or stewed.
- Vultures: [singing] Oh, food, wonderful food, marvellous food, glorious, fooood!! Food, glorious food!
- Lone Gunslinger: [singing] Poached possums or flamb!
- Female Vulture: [singing] Broth made from a sloth!
- Vultures: [singing] Or a saber-tooth souffle! Why should we be fated to? Do nothing but brood on! Oh, foood, magical food, wonderful food, marvelous foood!
- Male Vultures: [singing] Food, glorious food, Flesh, picked off the dead ones!
- Female Vultures: [singing] Rank, rotten, or chewed, soon, we'll be the fed ones!
- Male Vulture: [singing] Just thinking of putrid meat
- Female Vulture: [singing] Puts us in the mood!
- Vultures [singing] Oh, food, glorious food, marvellous food, wonderful food, beautiful food!
- Child Vulture: [singing] Magical food!
- Vultures: [singing] Glorious, Foood!!
- Manny: There, now you know what they were thinking!
- Sid: [singing] Food, glorious food
- Manny and Diego: Sid!
- Sid: What?! It's catchy.
- Diego: We made it.
- Sid: Yeah, we showed those scary vultures.
- [all cheering]
- [Before they can proceed on, they stopped when a geyser erupted from the ground.]
- Sid: Oh, it's just a little hot water and steam! How bad could it be? [one of the dodos was launched by the geyser and became roasted like a turkey] I just did something involuntary, and missed!
- Manny: Okay, come on.
- Diego: Manny! Get back! It's a minefield out there!
- Manny: There's only one way to go. Straight through!
- Ellie: Straight through? We'd like to keep the fur on our bodies, thank you. We'll head back, then we'll go around, That's safer!
- Manny: No, no! There's no time, the dam will burst before we make it. We'll drown!
- Ellie: If we go through this, we get blown to bits!
- Manny: We go forward!
- Ellie: We go back!
- Manny: Forward!
- Ellie: Back!
- Manny: Forward!
- Ellie: Back!
- Diego: Can I say something?
- Manny and Ellie: No!
- Manny: You are so stubborn and hardheaded,
- Ellie: Well, I guess that proves it: I am a mammoth! Come on.
- [She gathered Eddie and Crash and leaves.]
- Manny: Fine.
- Sid: I don't know, drowning sounds like a much gentler way to go. Blown to bits sounds so… sudden. He's gonna get himself killed. Manny, wait! Manny!
- Male Anteater: [echoing] Kids, look! The last mammoth!
- Sid: [echoing] I just heard you’re going extinct!
- Ellie: [echoing] Bravery is just dumb.
- Manny: [echoing] You can't be two things.
- Crash: [echoing] She thinks you’re a jerk, and to go away.
- Kid: [echoing] Then where's your big happy family?
- Manny: [echoing] What if I am the last mammoth?
- Ellie: [echoing] What's wrong with you…?
- Diego: Manny, come on! We got to go! Now! That way!
- Lone Gunslinger: Do not leave your children unattended, all unattended children will be eaten.
- Manny: Have you seen a mammoth?
- Male Shovelmouth: No, sorry.
- Manny: Have you seen a mammoth?
- Female Macrauchenia: No. No, I haven't.
- Diego: A possum, about 11 foot tall?
- Female Anteater: Uh-uh.
- Manny: Hey, buddy, have you seen a mammoth?
- Male Glyptodont: I sure have, big as life!
- Manny: Where?
- Glyptodont: I'm looking at him!
- Manny: Not me!!
- Glyptodont: Poor guy. Doesn't know he's a mammoth.
- Manny: I don't see her anywhere!
- Diego: Maybe she is already on board!
- Manny: All right, keep quiet! Come on, get moving!
- Ellie: There it is!!
- Crash: Ellie!
- Ellie: Come on, come on! Run! Push!! You guys got to go.
- Crash: We're not leaving you!!
- Ellie: I'm not asking!
- Eddie: Ellie! No! Ellie, don't worry! We're going for help.

- Crash: Manny! Manny! Manny, It's Ellie! She's trapped in a cave!
- Manny: Ellie!!
- Ellie: Manny?!
- Crash: Help!
- Sid: I'll save you.
- [Sid leaps but he ended up hitting the ice flow, knocking him unconscious.]
- Crash: Great! Who's gonna save him? You really need to brush!
- Diego: Okay, okay, okay. Jump in now. Come on, 'fraidy cat. Come on. You can do this, you can do this. You can do this.
- Crash: Help!
- Diego: Trust your instincts. Attack the water. I am not your prey. I am not your prey. I am not your prey!
- [Diego yells, jumps in the underwater to reef]
- [Diego's drown, Ellie pushes, Manny pushes on the stick, and Crash and Eddie holds Sid.]
- Diego: Attack the water. Stalking the prey. Come on, kick! Even babies can do it. Come on, claw, kick, claw, kick, Hey! I'm stalking the prey.
- Crash: Eddie!
- [Diego quickly swims down and grabbed Sid and Eddie up to the surface, The possums collapse on each other panting while Sid regained consciousness.]
- Sid: You did it buddy. You kicked waters butt!
- Diego: Nothing to it. Most animals can swim as babies you know.
- Sid: Yeah, but not tigers. I left that part out.
- Sid: There he is!
- Manny: Ellie, hold on to me!
- Sid: Manny! They're behind you!
- Crash: There they are! We thought we'd never see you again!
- Sid: We're gonna live! [Water rapidly rises around them.] We're gonna die!
- [???]
- Gramdpa Hedgehog: Well, I'm not leaving!

- Diego: Whoa! No, not so fast there, okay? You, you make a quality offer, but fire king has a, prior commitment, ! His herd needs him! He is the gooey, sticky, stuff that, holds us together! He made this herd and, we'd be nothing without him!
- Sid: You mean it?! Whoa!
- Diego: That doesn't mean, want to touch, Don't ask!
- Ellie: We're not the last ones anymore! You're not coming?
- Manny: You wanna go with them?
- Ellie: I am a mammoth, I should probably be with a mammoth, don't you think?
- Manny: Yeah, unless,
- Ellie: Unless,
- Manny: Unless. I, ah, I just wanna say, I need to tell you, I hope you find everything you're looking for!
- Ellie: You too,
- Sid: Manny? You've come a long way since we met, and I'll take full credit for that, But you need to let go of the past, so you could have a future.
- Diego: Go after her.
- Sid: It's okay, We'll always be here for you.
- Manny: I'll keep in touch,.
- Diego: Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a good friend, point made. Now, go on, scat.
- Sid: Our Manny's growing up.
- Manny: Ellie! Ellie!

- [Manny falls off the tree.]
- Ellie: You're possum enough for me.
- Sid: Well, it's just you and me now, Two bachelors, knocking about in the wild!
- Diego: Fine, but I'm not gonna carry you, ! I still have my pride, you know.

- Manny: I'll carry him!
- Diego: But you're herd's leaving.
- Manny: We are now!
- Sid: Manny, who do you like better? Me or Diego?
- Manny: Diego. Not even close.
- Diego: Ha-ha! Told ya.
- Ellie: Manny, you can't choose between your kids.
- Manny: He's not my kid. He's not even my dog. If I had a dog and my dog had a kid and the dog's kid had a pet, then it would be Sid.
- Sid: Can I have a dog, Manny?
- Manny: No.
- Sid: Ellie, can I have a dog?
- Ellie: Of course you can, sweetie.
- Manny: Ellie, we have to be consistent with them.
- [The sun brightens the screen turning it white. It changes to a fluffy cloudy area where Scrat pokes his head out and looks around. As he moves on and sniffs along the clouds, the sound of angelic vocalizing can be heard.]
- Dodos: [vocalizes]
- [Scrat whimpers as he walks on looking scared. He carries on walking until he bumps into something hard. He falls back, gets up then shakes off the dizziness. Then, to his utter shock and delight is a pair of golden gates with an acorn in the middle. They open and Scrat sees a lot of acorns lying around, much to his awe and delight. He walks through the gates, awestruck by this discovery. Scrat starts gathering up the acorns and hugging them with joy. But then, there, standing right in front of him, much to his delight, is a giant acorn. Scrat's eyes become acorns as he stares at it. He then happily begins bouncing his way towards it, dancing as he goes. Then, just as he's about to reach it, he suddenly freezes in mid running pose.]
- Scrat: [grunts and screams]
- [He struggles to reach but a strong gust of wind sweeps him off his feet back towards the gates which close as he is pulled out. Scrat clings onto the gates but can do nothing except stare at the giant acorn one last time before losing his grip and sent flying away from the gates as the screen fades to black.]
- [We then cut to one of Scrat's eyes opening as we see that it was Sid who saved his life. Sid whips his tongue on his paw and looks at Scrat happily.]
- Sid: I saved you, little buddy!
- [Scrat wakes up and whips his tongue with his hands. Then he realizes that he doesn't have his acorn and suddenly glares. He stands up and does a karate pose.]
- Scrat: [karate yells]
- Sid: [screaming] Hey, I saved you, little buddy! Ow! Ow! Ow!
- [He runs away with Scrat attacking as an iris closes in on them as the film ends.]
About Ice Age: The Meltdown
[edit]- I have done a lot of sequels, going all the way back to ICE AGE When I did the first ICE AGE a decade ago, we had no idea we would do a second one. The movie ended up being a huge success, and we had to say to ourselves: 'okay people want more, so let is tell another story.' We had to really work hard on that sequel, and it took a long time to get there, because we were caught off guard. After that, we learned our lesson (laughs). We understood that if the audience likes the story and characters and wants to see more, you have think, early on about how to continue the story. Not that you plan a sequel, when I make a movie
