[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.
[to hearing noise calling]
LOOK!
Whoa! [velociraptor runs off] Do you see that?
I don't know. Let's go see.
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]
[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!
[Then soon, the raptors ran away when the surviving dinosaur herd appears]
Huh?
[knocks Aladar down]
Stay out of my way!
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!
[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]
[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!
If you're even thinking of joining up...
[the Velociraptors snarl from behind]
Hang on! [catches up with Baylene]
[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--
We'll rest here for the night. Go ahead, Bruton.
[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.
Baylene, you've got big feet; just give 'em a kick! [shoves a stygimoloch] GET!
Oh, I couldn't possibly... eh, shoo! Shoo!
Would you come on, Baylene? If you wanna get to the nesting grounds alive, show some backbone!
[after spooking Eema]
Oh... sorry about that. Uh, it's just that, we overhead you talking and, umm...
[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.
[Sniffing the lemurs on Aladar's back and sneezing to lemurs]
What an unfortunate blemish.
Good mud bath would clear those right up.
[Eema growls in surprise]
Um, he's my grandfather. [chuckles] Couple of times removed.
Or a couple of species removed.
My name's Aladar. This is my family. We're all that's left.
Baylene's the last of her kind. Finding stragglers like her all along the way!
I heard you say something about "Nesting Grounds".
It is the most beautiful place there is, child. It's where the herd goes to have their babies.
Will we find anybody that looks...like us there?
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.
And we're being driven unmercifully.
Kron, the herd's head honcho.
We can hardly keep up. An older woman like myself, it's...well, it's positively indecent.
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?
[runs up to Kron]
Huh. Excuse me! Kron! Got a second?
[chuckles]
Relax Bruton. [comes up to Aladar] Who are you?
Why aren't you up here with the— [notices the lemurs on Aladar's back] ...uh, young bloods? [snorts at them]
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]
Hmm! Let the weak set the pace. Now, there's an idea. Better let me do the thinking from now on, Aladar.
Hey! They need help back here!
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]
[to Aladar]
You sure know how to catch a girl's eye there, stud!
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.
Since when do we take orders from the likes of him?!
[chuckles]
Kron has swatted flies bigger than you, pops.
I could hold that monster's brain in the palm of my-!
No, Yar, she's right. Better to keep our heads down with this bunch than get 'em bitten off by those things.
[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]
[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?
[Get up and swoop Zini into his nostril]
Zini, what are you doing?
I believe you left a wake-up call for the dawn of time. COME ON! Move it!
Something's up. The herd's gathering without us. Let's check it out.
Rise and shine! Kron says everybody goes. [trying to Iguanodon's stomach, and up in the feet] Come on, get up! On your feet!
[looks joking]
Heh. The charm never stops around here.
[looks confused to Aladar]
You saying something?
[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!
[sarcastically; about Bruton]
Sheesh! Is that guy ugly or what? Hey, hey, hey, [to Neera] there's your girlfriend.
What are you takin' about?
You know what I'm takin' about: Neera. [about Neera] Scaly skin, Yellow eyes. Big ankles.
Yeah, I made a real I'm on her.
[whilst combing his head back with his head]
What you need is a little help from the 'love monkey.'
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.
And with that, the ice is broken.
[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.
[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!
[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.
And hot. If you smell somethin' sizzlin', it could be me.
[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!
It's just over that... that hill, baby.
Come on, Eema. Water, remember water?
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]
[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?
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.
Then we save the half that deserves to live. [distinctive Iguanodon bellowing roars at herd]
What? They're moving already? Oh-ho, we'll never keep up.
There was water here, always water here before. We always had water, always, and... plenty of mud. [coughs]
Oh, Eema, please. The herd won't wait, we must carry on.
[Baylene walks rumble]
There was water everywhere.
[as Baylene walks comfort her, Aladar hears something rumble under her feet]
Baylene, don't move.
Oh, what is it? What's wrong?
[as Baylene rumbling her feet above the water]
Did you hear that?
I sure do. Lift your foot, Baylene.
[She lifts her foot, and Aladar and Zini dig a hole under it]
Ooh!
[Eema coughs]
Now press down.
[Baylene press down, and her titanic size has unearthed the water]
I always did like big girls!
[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.
[Aladar dig a hole to found a water]
That's it, Eema. Come drink.
[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--
Good. Now, get out of the way.
[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! [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.
[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.
Hey, hey. What's going on?
The "little Aladars" haven't had anything to drink. I think they're scared of me.
Well, who wouldn't be? You are pretty scary. [to the young iguanodons] Come on! Take it easy! She's just a hairball.
And proud of it! Come on; he's going to find you some water!
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.
Well, the skinny ones can be a little chewy. [both laugh. Beat]. I'm Aladar... the;–– jerkasaurus.
Neera Oh! Sorry, about that.
Neera Why did you help that old one?
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...
Neera Yeah.
Is that you talking? Or your brother?
Neera Everything's so different... I don't know what to think anymore.
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.
I'm not! But it's all I know. So, water! I'll get you some water. [digs]
Neera Can I try?
Neera [She does. As she bends to drink, their heads knock together]
Oh, sorry.
One down, and... well, one down.
[After Bruton narrowly escapes the Carnotaurs]
Kron! Carnotaurs!
[confused and disturbed]
What? They never come this far north!
The fireball must have driven them out.
[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!
[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?
Carnotaurs. If we don't keep moving, they'll catch up to us.
But the others in the back, they'll never make it.
They'll slow down the predators.
You can't sacrifice them like this! [calls out to the herd] HOLD IT! THAT COULD BE YOU BACK THERE, OR YOU!
[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.
[runs back to warn Baylene, Eema, Url, and the lemurs]
Let's go! Let's go! Carnotaurs!
Carnotaur! A mouth full of teeth with a bad attitude! Let's go!
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!
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]
[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.
Watch them, They're tough! [to the herd] If they can do it, SO CAN YOU!
[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!
[to the herd]
Keep moving!
Stop! I've been to the valley! There's a safer way!
[angrily to the two orphan iguanodon children]
Go on! Show them! [he shoves one of the orphans]
Neera Kron, listen to him!
Look, we've got to go now!
Go where?! Straight to the Carnotaurs?!
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!
[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]
[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]
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 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.
[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.
[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!
I'd say it's been a few years since you hatched anything!
[Both laugh]
You're right. So, let me practice on your head!
Look! Somebody wants to meet you! [to the newborn iguanodon] Oh, aren't you the cutest little small-fry I ever did see!
Hey, little guy! He looks just like me!.
Neera Meet your dad. He's not as crazy as he looks.
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]
[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!
[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.
