Dinosaur

Yar:
Babies grow up! You keep that thing, one day, we'll turn our backs, it'll be picking us out of its teeth! Things like THAT eat things like US as SNACKS!

Zini:
This "monster"'s got no teeth! What's he gonna do? Gum us to death?

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." Yeah, I still got it.

Aladar:
I hope it's not contagious.

Zini:
I'm a raging epidemic of romance.

Zini:
I'm the love professor, and class is in session! I still got it.

Aladar:
I hope it's not contagious.

Eema:
Walkin' backwards, huh? Well, let me know if that gets you there any faster.

Aladar:
He's my grandfather -- couple of generations removed.

Zini:
Try a couple of species removed.

Zini:
Hey, enough with the beauty sleep! You're ravishing already!

Zini:
I believe you asked for a wakeup call at the dawn of time.

Neera:
That, children... is a jerkosaurus.

Eema:
If you smell something sizzlin', it could be me.

Baylene:
Oh, joy. Blisters!

Eema:
I got blisters ON my blisters.

Yar:
You don't wanna know where *I* got blisters...

Plio:
We can't just leave him here!

Eema:
We can if we move fast enough!

Aladar:
It's dark, but at least it's dry.

Eema:
I like dry. It's the dark part I'm having trouble with.

Yar:
If I could sleep THAT deep, I'd be in paradise.

Eema:
If you could sleep THAT deep, honey, you'd be dead.

Bruton:
Why is he doing this? Pushing them on with false hope?

Plio:
It's hope that's gotten them this far.

Bruton:
But why doesn't he let them accept their fate? I've accepted mine.

Plio:
And what is your fate?

Bruton:
To die here. It's the way things are.

Plio:
Only if you give up, Bruton. It's your CHOICE, not your fate.

Plio:
Our new home...

Zini:
AND IT COMES WITH A POOL!

Zini:
Anyone up for a game of "monkey in the middle"?

Plio:
None of knows 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.

Neera:
You really like kids, don't you?

Aladar:
Well, the thin ones are a little chewy.

Aladar:
Hey ladies, look at what just pulled into town! Your buffet table of love!

Yar:
Oh, well. Poor Zini. The clan still has one bachelor.

Plio:
No, we have two.

Suri:
Look at all the Aladars!

Eema:
Carnotaur! A mouthful of teeth with a bad attitude!

Eema:
Move over, everybody. Bringin' in babies is what *I* do best!

Yar:
I'd say it's been a few years since you've hatched an egg.

Eema:
You're right -- so let me practice on your head!

Yar:
Yep. You're your father's son.

Kron:
Stay out of my way!

Bruton:
You heard Kron! MOVE IT!!

[Aladar sees a surviving dinosaur herd walking past him, then he sees baby iguanodons walking under him, then Neera bumps into him]

Neera:
Watch it!

[As Aladar looks at Neera, he sees a Pachyrhinosaurus walks into him with its nasal boss, knocking him to the ground, then a pack of Microceratops jump over him and the lemurs]

Yar:
Zini, get your head down!

[He sees Baylene as she walks under him as he and the lemurs look up]

Eema:
Walkin' backwards, huh?! Well, let me know if that gets you there any faster! Keep those little legs moving, Url, or you'll get left behind!

Zini:
[whilst combing his head back with his hand] What you need is a little help from the 'love monkey'.

Plio:
[narrating] Some things start out big, and some things start out small, very small. But sometimes the smallest thing can make the biggest changes of all.

Yar:
Excuse me?

Aladar:
I hope it's not contagious.

Zini:
I'm a raging epidemic of romance.

Baylene:
[sniffs the lemurs and sneezes] What an unfortunate blemish.

Eema:
Good mud bath would clear those right up.

Yar:
Excuse me?

[Eema growls in surprise]

Aladar:
Um, he's my grandfather. [chuckles] Couple of times removed.

Zini:
Try a couple of species removed.

Plio:
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. An older woman like myself, it's... well, it's positively indecent.

Aladar:
Tell him! What's the worst he can do?

[Neera, Kron, and Bruton approach; Url nervously walks out of the way; Bruton growls at him; Kron rudely pushes past Aladar]

Aladar:
Hey! What's his problem?

Eema:
That's him, honey, Kron.

Aladar:
Huh. Excuse me! Kron! Got a second?

Bruton:
Get lost, kid!

Kron:
[chuckles] Relax, Bruton. [comes up to Aladar] Who are you?

Aladar:
Uh... Aladar.

Kron:
Why aren't you up here with the... [notices the lemurs on Aladar's back] ...uh, young brothers? [snorts at them]

Aladar:
Well, I was back here talking to these guys. I guess they're having a hard time keeping up. So, you know, maybe you could slow down a bit?

[Neera chuckles and smiles]

Kron:
Hmm, let the weak set the pace. Now, there's an idea. Better let me do the thinking from now on, Aladar.

Aladar:
Hey! They need help back here!

Kron:
Watch yourself, boy. [leaves with a dismissive snort]

Neera:
Don't worry. That's how my brother treats newcomers... no matter how charming they are. [follows Korn away]

Zini:
[to Aladar] You sure know how to catch a girl's eye there, stud!

Eema:
I wouldn't be catching 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:
[chuckles] Kron has swatted flies bigger than you, pops.

Yar:
I could hold that monster's brain in the palm of my--!

Alader:
No, Yar, she's right. Better to keep our heads down with this bunch than get 'em bitten off by those things. [looks towards Velociraptors nearby]

Eema:
Well, you just consider yourself lucky that's all that's following us.

Baylene:
Oh, joy. Blisters!

Eema:
I got blisters ON my blisters.

Yar:
You don't wanna know where I got blisters... [hearing a bellow up ahead]

Eema:
What was that?

Baylene:
It came from up ahead.

Zini:
OK, what's the worst thing it could be?

Suri:
[fearfully] A Carnotaur.

Zini:
[increasingly nervous] OK, what's the second worst thing it could be?

Baylene:
TWO Carnotaurs! [shudders]

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.

[they turn the corner to find Bruton exhausted from his recent injuries]

Eema:
Oh, it's Bruton!

Baylene:
It appears we weren't the only ones left behind.

Plio:
We can't just leave him here!

Eema:
We can, if we move fast enough!

Bruton:
Save your pity. I just need some time to rest. Now, get away from me!

[they enter a cave]

Aladar:
It's dark, but at least it's dry.

Eema:
I like dry. It's the dark part I'm having trouble with. [accidentally steps on Url's spikes] OWW! Sorry, Url.

[the footsteps of the Carnotaurs awaken Aladar; he looks out and gazes in surprise at them as Bruton quietly comes up to him]

Bruton:
[whispering] Shh. Carnotaurs. [they look out at the two predators surveying the area]

Aladar:
[whispering] What do we do?

Bruton:
Wake the others. [turns to go and tell the others to wake up and get moving; the Carnotaurs move closer to the cave. 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]

Baylene:
Oh! [her neck touches the ceiling, causing a rock to fall and hit Eema; Aladar attempts to catch it, without success; one of the Carnotaurs examines the rock and sticks its snout through the water and sniffs Aladar before a thunderclap illuminates him; the Carnotaur charges at him]

Aladar:
Go! Go! Hurry! Move it, Eema!

Plio:
[after the Carnotaur grabs Aladar by the tail and drags him back] Aladar! Aladar! [from a distance, Bruton hears the lemurs' screams and ponders what to do next: save himself or protect the others; the Carnotaurs begin to fight over which one of them gets to devour Aladar]

Bruton:
[after stopping the Carnotaurs from attacking Aladar] I'll hold them off. You help the others!

Plio:
[to Aladar] You did what you could.

Yar:
Hey, old girl, you're wandering off a bit.

Eema:
[panting] That's all I need: a monkey on my back.

Kron:
[to the herd] We have to keep trying. For our survival, our future is over these rocks. NOW, LET'S GO HOME!

[the herd starts approaching him by going over the rocks, as they follow him]

Kron:
[to the two iguanodon children] You're going to make it, won't you, boys? [starts shoving them with his head]

Neera:
[to Kron] No.

Kron:
[to Neera] Watch them! They're tough! [to the herd] If they can do it, SO CAN YOU!

[the herd stops for a brief moment, then think Kron has gone crazy at Neera, and then continue walking up toward the rocks, as Neera receives a smile from Kron, until...]

Aladar:
[off-screen] KRON!

[Kron looks back in shocked in confusion. Neera gasps and Aladar shows his whole self up, as he approaches the herd]

Aladar:
[to Kron] Get the herd out of here! A Carnotaur's coming!

Kron:
[to the herd] Keep moving!

Aladar:
[to Kron] Stop! I've been to the valley! There's a safer way!

Kron:
[angrily, to the two iguanodon children] Go on! Show them!

Neera:
[to Kron] Kron, listen to him!

(Kron hits the two iguanodon children with his head, making them cry]

Aladar:
[to Kron] Look, we've got to 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 trap on the other side! [Kron hits the two iguanodon children with his head, making them cry again] YOU'RE GONNA KILL THE HERD! I know a way to the valley, and everybody can make it! [to the herd] Now, follow me!

[Kron approaches the herd]

Neera:
[to Kron, as he leaps from rock to rock] Kron!

Kron:
[to the Aladar] THEY'RE STAYING WITH ME!

Aladar:
[to the herd] All right, let's go!

[Kron viciously attacks Aladar, who viciously fights back at him, as they both bellow and fight at each other, and knock each other down to the ground and get up again; the herd watches both Kron and Aladar fight, as Neera rushes through the herd, and watches them both for a brief moment, and then rushes quickly to save Aladar; Aladar knocks Kron to the ground, to which Kron throws sand in Aladar's eyes, scratches Aladar across his chest with his spiked thumb, leaving behind a huge wounded scar on Aladar's chest, and knocks Aladar to the ground, forcing a herd of Microceratops to get out of the way; Kron gets up, stands up on his hind legs, and is going to nearly kill Aladar with his spiked thumb using his roar, but Neera knocks Kron to the ground, and then saved Aladar's life; Neera is shocked and angry at everything Kron has done, and then turns herself over to Aladar, who is being wounded from the fight with Kron, as she helps him get up, and they both continue walking towards the cave entrance to the valley that Aladar has made, along with the herd, and the two iguanodon children; Kron watches Aladar, Neera, the herd, and the two iguanodon children walk by, and then gets very furious at Neera]

Kron:
NEERA!!!

[Kron gets horrified, as Aladar, Neera, the herd, and the two iguanodon children are abandoning him; Kron realizes that he has been left behind by them, and then goes back to the rocks, and starts climbing over the rocks all by himself; suddenly, Aladar, Neera, the herd, and the two iguanodon children hear the carnotaur roaring in the distance, and the carnotaur then shows his whole self up, and then approaches Aladar, Neera, the herd, and the two iguanodon children, and then confronts them; Kron, who is climbing over the rocks, notices the carnotaur, and then tries to warn the herd about the carnotaur that Aladar has led him to them]

Kron:
[to the herd about what Aladar has done] He's led that monster straight toward us! This way! [continues climbing over the rocks]

Aladar:
[to Kron] No! Don't move! If we scatter, he'll pick us off! [to the herd] Stand together!

[Kron looks at Aladar, Neera, the herd, and the two iguanodon children with an enraged look on his face, and then stubbornly continues climbing over the rocks, and sets off to prove Aladar wrong, as the carnotaur roars at Aladar, who roars back at him; Neera joins Aladar, along with the herd, and the two iguanodon children, making the carnotaur pass through the herd in the process, and then make the carnotaur turn his attention toward Kron, who has made it to a cliff, and then realizes that Aladar was right about the sheer drop; Aladar and Neera both start chasing after the carnotaur]

Neera:
[to Kron, as she rushes towards him] Kron!

[Kron notices the carnotaur, and realizes that he is cornered by him]

Kron:
[his last words] No, no!

[Kron attacks the carnotaur, who wounds him with his sharp teeth by biting him several times, and then throws him into a rock; Aladar, and Neera both arrive just in time, and then start fighting with the carnotaur; Kron watches both Aladar and Neera fighting the carnotaur, as he is realizing that he was wrong about Aladar; Aladar, and Neera both corner the carnotaur at the cliff, and Aladar knocks the carnotaur into the sheer trap, making him fall to his death below; Aladar, and Neera both rush toward Kron, who has died due to the fight between him and the carnotaur]

Neera:
[off-screen] Kron.

[Neera nudges Kron's head to make him get up, but it's no use, even to no avail; Kron was already dead. Aladar, and Neera both then hug each other, and finally embrace each other; some time later, Aladar, Neera, the herd, and the iguanodon children all went through the cave towards the cave entrance to the valley that Aladar has made, and they all finally made it into the valley]

Aladar:
[to Neera] Welcome home.
