Suri
[Years later, Suri and other lemur children are chased by the grown-up Aladar for fun]

Let me out! Let me out! [inside Aladar's mouth; he spits her into the thicket]

Aladar
[coughs]

Hairball! [coughs]

Suri

That was great! Get him!

Aladar
[lemur children start tickling him]

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 looks on, laughing] Augh! Augh! Augh! Ahhhh. [playing dead]

Suri

Aladar? you're not dead.

Aladar
[suddenly]

No!

Plio
[Suri and company laugh]

All right, guys, break it up. Remember the courtship? You gonna miss seeing all that smooching.

Suri

Aw, Mom.

Aladar

That's okay, Plio. We can smooch right here. [blows kisses; Suri and her friends leap away]

Plio
[sarcastically]

Heh. It's a shame you don't like kids.

Aladar
[sarcastically]

Ugh. Nasty little vermin.

Plio
[sarcastically]

Ha-ha. Go find Zini. He's rehearing pickup lines. Let's hope he's find found some new material.

Zini
[rehearsing]

"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
[walks up to him]

I hope it's not contagious.

Zini

I'm a raging epidemic of romance.

Aladar
[chuckles]

Come on, hot stuff. Let's get goin': you don't wanna to 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 takin' about Yar?

Aladar

Yeah! To hear him tell it, he put the "prime" in "primate".

Zini
[sarcastically]

Really?

Yar
[both are giving mating advice, Yar to the males, Plio to the females]

Okay, boys, gather around: 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 'em down!

Yar

Go on, now. Chest up! Chin up!

Male Lemur

Whoo!

Yar
[to Aladar]

Make 'em look good, son.

Aladar

Come on, Yar. My charm, and your brains? No problem. [Yar laughs. Aladar has male courting lemurs on his back and escorts them to the tree] Hey girls, look what just pulled into town.

Male Lemur

Hey, ladies!

Aladar

Your buffet table of love!

Male Lemurs
[The female lemurs laugh]

Right here! Right here! Hey, beautiful!

Zini

Hey, free samples! Get me while I'm hot! Whoa! [grabs Aladar's tail and chuckles]

Suri

Zini. [laughs]

Zini
[The males are courting in the tree]

Whoo! Wah-hoo!

Aladar
[Plio, Yar, Zini, Suri trill, and Aladar bellows. Zini falls on the bush. Suri laughing at him. The male Lemurs jump out of the tree, in the vines swinging around, Zini trying sticks the branches, Aladar take a little branch to help Zini and throws him over the vine]

You're missin' all the action, pal. Come on!

Zini

Hey, haven't you heard? I am the action! WHOO! Whoo-ah!
[The female lemurs climb the vines. Every lemur ends up finding a mate except Zini, who snags his feet on a vine before he could even swing forward.]

Aladar
[By the time he unsticks himself, all the female lemurs have left, much to his disappointment. Aladar tries to comfort Zini, who seems to take it okay and believes he will get another chance at finding girls]

Ah, don't worry, Zini. You'll 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.

Yar
[to Plio]

Ah well. Poor Zini. The clan still has one bachelor.

Plio

No. We have two. [to Aladar] Well, it's never been his best event.

Aladar

He's got a tougher hide than mine.

Plio

Oh, Aladar. If only there were someone on the island for you. You know; who looks like you, but prettier.

Aladar

Come on, Plio. What more could I want? [There seen a fireballs in the sky] Whoa!

Suri
[Aladar look at the fireballs in the sky, as Pilo, Yar and Suri watching in the sky. as Aladar look up the sky, Suri come and look at Aladar, but it know are coming]

What are they?

Aladar

I don't know.

Plio
[Suri up in the tree to take a look, a fireballs falls out in the skies there minions tons of them. Zini watching over us, Plio and Yar hearing these fireballs past to it. Plio look for a flock of Ichthyornis in the skies; Yar sniffing]

Dad?

Yar
[about the asteroid]

Something wrong.

Plio
[to Aladar]

Aladar, where's Suri?

Aladar
[about Suri]

She's up in the...tree.

Plio
[Plio is present when an asteroid falls from the sky and then strikes to it, causing violent tremors. But still it hard blow the lemur's island]

COME ON! Go, go! COME ON!

Suri
[off-screen]

Mom!

Plio

Suri!

Suri
[crying for help after observing the disaster]

Mom!! Mom!!!

Aladar

Suri!

Suri
[off-screen]

Mom!

Aladar

Suri, where are you?!

Plio
[Plio want to find and save Suri in the tree, and she back down to Aladar] [Frantically after asteriod strikes]

Run, Aladar! Run! Run!

Aladar
[Many fireballs soon start falling, and Aladar runs with the lemurs]

Yar, Come on!

Plio

Zini!

Aladar

ZINI!

Plio

Jump!

Aladar

JUMP!

Plio

JUMP! [Zini getting chased by Asteriod in the island and jump, but Plio grabs a hand to him] Hold on!

Aladar
[as the fireballs, we're getting by destroyed by the lemur island. Aladar, Plio, Yar, Zini and Suri chased by asteroid; but then look down the cliff. He turns around to see the massive cloud of fire barreling towards him. He quickly jumps into the sea as the cloud passes over. Aladar and his lemur family swim to the mainland, only to find out that it was also devastated by the asteroid] [coughs]

Plio! Yar! Where are you?! [coughs]

Plio

Aladar, over here!
[as Aladar trying to save the lemurs by the asteriod, the waves gathering. Yar coughing, Aladar sighing, are the fires diaster. They all turn back to the island to see that it completely destroyed, the flames from the island illuminating it in an orange glow. Suri goes up to the edge of the mainland and calls out to the island, trying to hear if anyone on the island survived, but she gets no response. Suri weeps, as she realizes that everyone on the island is gone, and Aladar bellows a similar mournful roar. Plio comforts her daughter]

Plio

Oh, Suri. Easy, easy. [give it hug to Suri]

Suri
[after a asteroid devastates Lemur Island] [crying]

They're all gone.

Plio

Shh, shh. I'm right here.

Aladar
[Suri crying]

Come on. We can't stay here.
[With that, they climb onto Aladar, who looks one last time at the island, the birds are flying in the skies, that was once his and his family's home before turning around and walking off.]

Yar
[Aladar and his closest family in the desert; suri stills cries on Aladar's back]

Now, now, Suri. There's nothing to be afraid of.

Zini
[to hearing noise calling]

LOOK!

Yar

Ah!

Aladar

Whoa! [velociraptor runs off] Do 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. Hey!

Plio

Shh, Dad!

Yar

It-It's 'scaring' Suri.

Suri

No, it's not.

Aladar

Everyone just be quiet.
[as Aladar and the lemurs walk through the barren wasteland, they see a velociraptor, he looks curious on what it is and decide to check it out. When they find it, the raptor snarls at them. and soon seven others appear and start chasing them. The velociraptor jumps on Aladar and bites him on the side, and he roars of pain, the other Velociraptor jumps and snap it to Yar in the Aladar's back while he falls down]

Plio

Yar, grab on!

Yar

I can't reach!

Plio
[as Yar grab his Plio's hand to it, when velociraptor jumps and climbs and tries eats it snap to him it misses. until it jumps back the pack of velociraptors, and Aladar escapes from the raptors]

Aladar, they're stopping!

Aladar
[Then soon, the raptors ran away when the surviving dinosaur herd appears]

Huh?

Kron
[knocks Aladar down]

Stay out of my way!

Bruton

You heard Kron! MOVE IT!!

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

Watch it!

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

Zini, get your head down! [sees Baylene, a brachiosaur; she strides over him]

Eema
[walking by]

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

Suri

Look at all the Aladars!

Yar

If you're even thinking of joining up...

Aladar
[the Velociraptors snarl from behind]

Hang on! [catches up with Baylene]

Bruton
[Soon after, they encounter of a herd of various dinosaurs (Iguanodons, Parasaurolophus, Styracosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Microceratus, Struthiominus, and Stygimoloch.) It led by Kron as each other]

Kron, There is a more protected spot further down the--

Kron

We'll rest here for the night. Go ahead, Bruton.

Baylene
[Bruton shows a bellow roars at the herd, as Aladar walking towards the herd]

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.

Eema

Baylene, you've got big feet; just give 'em a kick! [shoves a stygimoloch] GET!

Baylene

Oh, I couldn't possibly... eh, shoo! Shoo!

Eema

Would you come on, Baylene? If you wanna get to the nesting grounds alive, show some backbone!

Aladar

Hey there!

Eema

Ahhh!

Aladar
[after spooking Eema]

Oh... sorry about that. Uh, it's just that, we overhead you talking and, umm...

Eema
[Url drops a rock enthusiastically at his feet just like a dog, Aladar looks confused]

Well, my word. Look at Url. He doesn't normally warm up to strangers so fast.

Baylene
[Sniffing the lemurs on Aladar's back and sneezing to lemurs]

What an unfortunate blemish.

Eema

Good mud bath would clear those right up.

Yar

Excuse me?

Aladar
[Eema growls in surprise]

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

Zini

Or a couple of species removed.

Aladar

My name's Aladar. This is my family. We're all that's left.

Baylene

Oh, dear. I'm so sorry.

Eema

Baylene's the last of her kind. Finding stragglers like her all along the way!

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

Then tell him! What's the worst he can do? [Neera, Kron, and Bruton approach; Url nervously walks out of the way; Bruton growls; Kron rudely pushes past] Hey! What's his problem?

Eema

That's him, honey, Kron.

Aladar
[runs up to Kron]

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 bloods? [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?

Kron
[Neera chuckles and smiles]

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 Kron 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-!

Aladar

No, Yar, she's right. Better to keep our heads down with this bunch than get 'em bitten off by those things.

Eema
[The velociraptors hissing]

Well, you just consider yourself lucky that's all that's following us.
[When velociraptors playing fighting biting each other but the raptor stop fighting, and furious looking an scaring eye behind to it]

Zini
[Later, The herd of dinosaurs sleeping on at night, but after that, the sun will rises up in the desert, the herd waking up in the morning to time to moving on. Zini looks find Aladar and his friends are sleeping over in the desert.] [Aladar snoring]

Hey wake up, enough with the beauty sleep! You're ravishing already! [Aladar snoring again, he looks confused and checking open Aladar's eye, sarcastically] Hey! Hello! Anybody in there?

Aladar
[Get up and swoop Zini into his nostril]

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. [trying to Iguanodon's stomach, and up in the feet] Come on, get up! On your feet!

Zini
[looks joking]

Heh. The charm never stops around here.

Bruton
[looks confused to Aladar]

You saying something?

Aladar

Uh, no, no, sir.

Bruton
[Bruton walking towards to Aladar around, angoring sensing on each side around in the herd]

Unless you got a death wish, you and that little parasite better get MOVING!

Zini
[sarcastically; about Bruton]

Sheesh! Is that guy ugly or what? Hey, hey, hey, [to Neera] there's your girlfriend.

Aladar

What are you takin' about?

Zini

You know what I'm takin' about: Neera. [about Neera] Scaly skin, Yellow eyes. Big ankles.

Aladar

Yeah, I made a real I'm on her.

Zini
[whilst combing his head back with his head]

What you need is a little help from the 'love monkey.'

Aladar

The 'love monkey?'

Zini

Ow! Baby! [calling howling out to Neera and the 2 iguandon children]

Neera
[Aladar nervously laughs] [About Aladar]

That, children, is what's known as a jerkasaurus.

Zini

And with that, the ice is broken.

Kron
[When Aladar turning around the herd, Bruton makes the distinctive bellowing roar (the sound that no other dinosaur makes in the movie) with the herd, suddenly, Kron's make attention in the desert]

We've got a lot of first-timers here. Make sure they get it. We stop for nothing, and no one.

Bruton
[Silence to the herd] [turns to herd]

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
[Bruton head out the herd to start moving. Kron and the herd vision walking cross the desert]

Oh, my goodness. It looks like a very long walk.

Eema

And hot. If you smell somethin' sizzlin', it could be me.

Aladar
[Eema panting] [helps Eema get back up]

On your feet, Eema. We can't let those things eat you. They're out there waiting.
[Dawn: the Velociraptors are still feeding on the Struthiomimid, when they notice the Carnotaurs and flee]

Eema
[The next day as the herd is traveling to get to the lake, Kron tells his second-in-command, Bruton, to give orders that the herd must keep up because if a predator catches anyone, they're on their own.]

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

Oh, it's time to refresh my memory. [Kron drives the herd unmercifully across the hot sunny desert, losing a couple of members in the process, until they finally reach the lake] I'm just gonna walk right into that lake until the water's up to my eyeballs and soak it all in. [sighs]

Bruton
[a discover that lake a skeleton dinosaur is a dryed with no water]

Maybe the rains collected somewhere else. What do you want us to do?

Kron

Take a scout and check the entire perimeter. [Bruton to take scout and check the entire perimeter to see if there's any water. a two iguanodon children turns face to Kron] 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 far without water: if we keep going like this, we'll lose half the herd.

Kron

Then we save the half that deserves to live. [distinctive Iguanodon bellowing roars at herd]

Baylene

What? They're moving already? Oh-ho, we'll never keep up.

Eema

There was water here, always water here before. We always had water, always, and... plenty of mud. [coughs]

Baylene

Oh, Eema, please. The herd won't wait, we must carry on.

Aladar

You gotta get up!

Eema
[Baylene walks rumble]

There was water everywhere.

Baylene

There is no water, dear.

Aladar
[as Baylene walks comfort her, Aladar hears something rumble under her feet]

Baylene, don't move.

Baylene

Oh, what is it? What's wrong?

Zini
[as Baylene rumbling her feet above the water]

Did you hear that?

Aladar

I sure do. Lift your foot, Baylene.

Zini
[She lifts her foot, and Aladar and Zini dig a hole under it]

Ooh!

Aladar
[Eema coughs]

Now press down.

Zini
[Baylene press down, and her titanic size has unearthed the water]

I always did like big girls!

Aladar

Water!

Baylene

Oh, my goodness!

Aladar
[makes the distinctive Iguanodon roar to get the herd's attention and calling out the Neera and Kron]

Water! Come on!

Neera

He found water.

Baylene
[Aladar dig a hole to found a water]

That's it, Eema. Come drink.

Aladar
[The others help Eema to drinking a water in the hole, soon, the friends drink, until Kron charges off in the desert]

Kron, look, all we had to do is dig, and--

Kron

Good. Now, get out of the way.

Aladar
[Kron pushes his way into it while roaring and drinks the water for himself, showing no mercy for the herd charges it]

Wait! Wait! There's enough for everyone! Ah!

Eema

Ooh!

Aladar

Eema! [as he is pushed by the thristy herd trying to make their way to the water; sarcastically] That's it! Keep pushing and... [he gets shoved to Parasaurolophus] Shoving! That's very helpful.

Suri
[One early morning, the friends and the herd sleeps in the desert, Suri tries to ask some timid young Iguanodons to come out on the count of three. Aladar notices and manages to persuade them by convincing them that Suri is harmless]

Now, you come out on 3. 1...2...3! 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. [to the young iguanodons] Come on! Take it easy! She's just a hairball.

Suri

And proud of it! Come on; he's going to find you some water!

Aladar

Just dig and press... [the young iguanodons fight] come on! Let's have a little teamwork. Let's work together a bit. There: just take a foot, and press... [All three do so, and water fills the waterhole]. Good job, Suri. [to the young iguanodons] So, where're your parents anyway?

Neera

A lot of us are on our own now. [beat]. You like kids, I see.

Aladar

Well, the skinny ones can be a little chewy. [both laugh. Beat]. I'm Aladar... the;–– jerkasaurus.

Neera

Oh! Sorry, about that.

Aladar

You're probably right.

Neera

Why did you help that old one?

Aladar

What else could we do? Leave her behind? Oh! You mean you'd actually;––?!

Neera

Well, that happens all the time... you don't survive if you're not...

Aladar

Strong enough?

Neera

Yeah.

Aladar

Is that you talking? Or your brother?

Neera

Everything's so different... I don't know what to think anymore.

Aladar

Look, Neera, if we all watch out for each other, we all have a chance of getting to your Nesting Grounds.

Neera

You sound so sure.

Aladar

I'm not! But it's all I know. So, water! I'll get you some water. [digs]

Neera

Can I try?

Aladar

Sure! Just - press!

Neera
[She does. As she bends to drink, their heads knock together]

Oh, sorry.

Aladar

No, you first.

Yar

One down, and... well, one down.

Bruton
[After Bruton narrowly escapes the Carnotaurs]

Kron! Carnotaurs!

Kron
[confused and disturbed]

What? They never come this far north!

Bruton

The fireball must have driven them out.

Kron
[overhears the Carnotaurs roaring]

You've led them right to us! MAYBE YOU CAN FEED THEM WITH YOUR HIDE! Move the herd out, double time!

Aladar
[Bruton roars for the herd to Leave as Aladar & Neera notice this]

What's happening?

Neera

My brother's moving the herd. 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! [calls out to the herd] HOLD IT! THAT COULD BE YOU BACK THERE, OR YOU!

Kron
[smacks Aladar down to the ground]

If you ever interfere again, I'll kill you. [begins to walk away, but notices Neera approaching Aladar] STAY AWAY FROM HIM! [pushes Neera away from Aladar, who growls in anger]

Neera

Aladar, no! You just - Just go. I'll be okay.

Aladar
[runs back to warn Baylene, Eema, Url, and the lemurs]

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 got blisters ON my blisters.

Yar

You don't wanna know where I got blisters... [hears a bellow]

Eema

What was that?

Baylene

It came from up ahead.

Zini

Okay, what's the worst thing it could be?

Suri
[fearfully]

A Carnotaur.

Zini
[nervous]

Okay, what's the second worst thing it could be?

Baylene

TWO Carnotaurs! [shudders] Oh my goodness! O 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
[They turn the corner to find Bruton, exhausted]

Oh, it's Bruton!

Baylene

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

Aladar

What happened?

Eema

Carnotaurs. We should keep moving.

Plio

We can't just leave him here!

Eema

We can if we move fast enough!

Aladar
[to Bruton]

Hey, you don't look so good. Let me help me you.

Bruton

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

Aladar

Suit yourself. [hears thunder and sees Url with a stalactite in his mouth, moving towards a cave] If you change your mind, we'll be in those caves.

Aladar
[they enter the cave]

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. Sturdy li'l thing, ain't he?

Baylene
[Aladar chuckles]

Ahem. We appear to have a visitor.

Aladar
[They see Bruton limping outside the cave in the rain. He falls; Aladar approaches him]

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. [helps Bruton up and guides him into the cave] Uh, you can lie down with us. It's warmer.

Baylene
[Bruton lies down in a corner of the cave by himself]

May I remind you that he's one of them?

Aladar

Well, looks like he's one of us now. [goes to lie down with the others]

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.
[Url lies on his back and falls asleep] .

Yar

If I could sleep that deep, I'd be in paradise.

Eema

If you could sleep that deep, honey, you'd be dead.

Plio
[leaps towards Bruton with a special plant in her hands]

This plant grew on our island. It will make you feel better. [takes some of the plant's juice and sprinkles it on Bruton's wounds]

Bruton
[winces in pain; nods at Aladar]

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

Plio

It's hope that's gotten us 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. Well, the plant will help. [leaps away; Bruton takes the plant]

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

Shh. Carnotaurs.

Aladar
[whispering]

What do we do?

Bruton

Wake the others.

Baylene
[The Carnotaurs move closer to the cave. Bruton, Eema, Baylene, and the lemurs proceed deeper into the cave. Aladar nudges Url to wake him up; he bellows in fright, and Aladar immediately silences him; the Carnotaurs look up briefly and then continue looking around]

Oh! [her neck touches the ceiling, causing a rock to fall and hit Eema]

Aladar
[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]

Go! Go! Hurry! Move it, Eema! [the Carnotaur grabs him by the tail and drags him back]

Plio

Aladar! Aladar!

Bruton
[The Carnotaurs fight over Aladar] [leaps into the fray; last words]

I'll hold them off! You help the others! [crashes purposely into the stone columns supporting the roof; he and one of the Carnotaurs are buried]

Aladar

Bruton! [He comes back and tries to help Bruton, but the rocks fall on Bruton before he can] Bruton! NoooooOOOO!!!! [Coughs] Bruton!

Plio
[to Aladar]

You did what you could.
[A Carnotaurus distance roars on the rocks; Aladar look at the rocks, who's trying to push a rocks trying to get anger and he's very ugly snarling, is the one Carnotaurus left push out of the rocks; A dead second Carnotaurus, Aladar mouns to death Bruton's sacrifice was not completely in vain, as the other Carnotaurus died with him, the large Carnotaurus survives, however, leaving and roaring in vengeance, before continuing his search for the herd.]

Zini
[Aladar, Eema, Url, Baylene and the Lemurs are wandering through the cave. Zini is trying to pass the time by playing "I Spy"]

Okay, okay, let's do it again, let's do it again. Uh... I spy, with my little eye...

Yar

A rock.

Zini

You got it again! O, you are good.

Eema

Well, I'll tell you what I spy: a dead end.

Yar

What have we done now?

Aladar

I guess we just go back.

Zini
[smells something]

Hang on a moment.

Suri

Zini, what is this?

Zini

You smell that?

Suri
[sniffing]

Yes.

Eema
[Aladar sniffs. Then as Zini pulls out the rocks, we see daylight] [gasps]

Get a load of that.

Baylene

Nice show.

Aladar

Everybody, stand back. We're outta here! [tries to break the rocks, the cave collapses]

Zini

RUN!!

Suri

Unh!

Eema

ALADAR, LOOK OUT!!

Aladar
[The falling boulders block the daylight] [echoing]

Noooooo! [tries to break the rocks, but fails]

Plio

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? Hah, 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, that I still had a purpose. And you know what? You were right. And I'm going to keep on believing it. I for one am not willing to die here! [rears up and strikes the cave-in again and again]

Baylene
[The others join in; at length, the wall falls, to reveal a pristine valley beyond]

Oh my goodness.

Eema

The Nesting Grounds...It's untouched.

Plio

Our new home...

Zini

AND IT COMES WITH A POOL! [suri laughing] You're lady, you're lady and whooo!

Baylene

Whoo, whoo, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Zini
[Zini on the Baylene's head]

CANNONBALL! [jump in the lake]

Baylene

Ha. Amateur.

Zini
[Baylene starts to jumps in the lake, fun waves]

LOOK OUT BELOW!

Aladar
[Url watching Baylene fun waves with Zini]

Not bad! But I don't get it. Where's the herd?

Plio
[sotto voice]

Not to mention Neera!

Eema

Oh, they'll get here...soon enough. Oh, no!

Aladar

Eema?

Eema

I spoke too soon.

Aladar

What is it?

Eema

That, is the way we used to get in here. [indicates a towering pile of stones, blocking an entrance to the valley]

Aladar

They'll never make it over that!

Eema

Aladar, wait! Wait! Kron'll eat you alive!

Aladar

Let him try. [runs off]

Eema
[sighing]

I just hope Kron's in a listening mood...

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 going over the rocks Kron looks around for someone as an example before seeing the orphans; to the two iguanodon children] You'll make it, won't you, boys? [starts shoving them with his head]

Neera
[to Kron]

No.

Kron

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

Aladar
[The herd hesitates, then continue toward the rocks]

KRON! [they look back as he approaches the herd] Get the herd out of here! A Carnotaur's coming!

Kron
[to the herd]

Keep moving!

Aladar

Stop! I've been to the valley! There's a safer way!

Kron
[angrily to the two orphan iguanodon children]

Go on! Show them! [he shoves one of the orphans]

Neera

Kron, listen to him!

Aladar

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 drop on the other side! [Kron angrily shoves the orphans more] YOU'RE GONNA KILL THE HERD! I know a way to the valley, and everybody can make it! [to the herd] Now, follow me!

Neera
[Kron approaches the herd]

Kron!

Kron

THEY'RE STAYING WITH ME!

Aladar
[to the herd]

All right let's go!
[Fed up with being challenged, Kron loses his temper and attacks Aladar, who fights back. Kron violently attacks Aladar, but he then gets knocked to the ground by Aladar twice. Kron throws sand in Aladar's eyes, slashes Aladar across his chest with his spiked thumb by making a deep cut, knocks Aladar into the ground, and nearly kills Aladar by delivering a deadly strike, but Neera saves Aladar by knocking Kron to the ground. Neera, having grown fed up with Kron's stubbornness and cruelty, turns against Kron by helping Aladar to continue towards the valley along with the herd]

Kron
[shocked, then livid]

NEERA!!!! [Neera doesn't flinch, so Kron starts climbing over the rocks all by himself, but the carnotaur approaches the herd] He's led that monster right to us! This way! [continues climbing over the rocks]

Aladar

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

Neera
[The carnotaur roars at Aladar, who roars back. Neera joins Aladar, along with the herd, forcing the carnotaur to ignore the herd and head towards Kron; Aladar and Neera give chase]

Kron!

Kron
[Kron makes it up to the top, but realizes that the entrance is blocked, and he's cornered] [last words]

No, no! [attacks the carnotaur, who wounds him]

Neera
[Aladar, and Neera start fighting with the carnotaur, and Aladar knocks it to its death below. Aladar and Neera walk slowly toward Kron's body]

Kron.

Aladar
[Neera nudges Kron's head, but he is already dead. Aladar and Neera embrace each other in sorrow. Later, Aladar, Neera, and the herd head through the cave entrance and finally make it into the valley] [to Neera]

Welcome home.

Eema
[Last lines: Sometime later, the eggs on the nesting grounds, Aladar and Neera become mates and have a nest in the valley]

Move over, everybody! Bringin' in babies is what I do best!

Yar

I'd say it's been a few years since you hatched anything!

Eema
[Both laugh]

You're right. So, let me practice on your head!

Plio

Look! Somebody wants to meet you! [to the newborn iguanodon] Oh, aren't you the cutest 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.

Baylene

Well done, little one!

Yar

Come 'ere, you little rascal; lemme take a good look at you... [the baby pees on him] yep. You're your father's son all right. [hands the baby over to Plio]

Zini
[arrives]

Hey, look what I found! New neighbors! [indicates five female lemurs]. Any of you ladies up for a game of "Monkey in the Middle"? [female lemurs playing on him] Easy, now! Easy! Hey!

Plio
[The lemurs laughing, Aladar bellows in joy, followed by Neera, Eema, Baylene, and finally the whole herd of surviving dinosaurs.] [closing narration]

And so, None of us we know what changes, big and 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.
