The Good Dinosaur 2015 quotes

Butch, how'd you get your scar?

Butch

I don't know if you're ready for that story.

I can take it!

Nash

Oh yeah, you gotta tell him pa!

Ramsey

That's a good one!

Butch

It was 100 degrees in the shade. I walked for five days with no water... Then I saw it - a pretty pond. I bent down to take a drink, when these crocs launched out of the water! One croc bit me on the face; ain't no way I wasn't its supper! Except for one thing... I wasn't ready for dyin' that day. I bit one croc in half, tail-whipped the other, and the last one... well, [deeper voice] I drowned that croc in my own blood.

Whoa...!

DANG!

Nash

Ooh, look, look! Gives me the little goosies every time!

Ramsey

I love that story! Show him your souvenir!

Ramsey

Ain't that just too good?!

Nash

Can I touch it this time?

Butch

No.

You guys would have liked my poppa. He wasn't scared of anything. I'm done being scared. [sighs]

Butch

Who said I'm not scared?

But you took on a croc!

Butch

And I was scared doin' it. If you ain't scared of a croc bitin' you on the face, you ain't alive. Listen, kid, you can't get rid of fear. It's like Mother Nature; you can't beat her or outrun her, but you can get through it. You can find out what you're made of.

The first snow.

Ramsey

It's early this year.

And I got to get home to Momma.

Nash

We'll get you to that watering hole.

Butch

A deal's a deal. At first light, we ride.

I miss my family. [sees Spot staring up at him] Family. [uses sticks as effigies, placing four in the ground] That's me. There's Libby. And Buck. And Momma. [pauses for a moment, then places the last effigy in the ground with the others] And Poppa. [draws a circle around them in the sand] Family.

Huh?

You don't understand. That's okay.

So, how far did you say that watering hole was?

Butch

I got a job for ya.

I'm not really good at jobs...

Butch

I need you to keep on the dodge and sidle up the loblolly past them horn-heads, just hootin' and hollerin' to score off them rustlers. We'll cut dirt and get the bulge on 'em.

What?

Ramsey

He just wants you to get on that rock and scream.

Uh, but what's out there?

Butch

They'll come right at ya. You hold your ground. Don't move.

"Don't move"? What if they have claws and big teeth?

Butch

Don't overthink it.

Butch

We ain't got time for babysitting. We've got longhorns to round up.

Ramsey

My genius brother lost our whole herd in one day.

Nash

I did not lose them, Ramsey! How many times have I gotta tell you this? They just wandered off!

Butch

And we've still gotta find them. We can't help ya, kid.

Forrest Woodbush

That creature protected you. Why?

I don't know. I'm going home. Do you know how far Clawtooth Mountain is?

Forrest Woodbush

Good idea. We want him.

Why?

Forrest Woodbush

Because it's terrifying out here. He can protect me, like my friends. [describing his pets] This is Fury. He protects me from the creatures that crawl in the night. This is Destructor. She protects me from mosquitoes. This is Dreamcrusher. He protects me from having unrealistic goals. And this is Debbie. [silence; Debbie tweets at Forrest] Yes, we need him. What is his name?

A name? I don't know.

Forrest Woodbush

Hmm, then I will meditate on this... [hums for a moment] I name him, I keep him! [hums again] Killer! [Spot ignores him; hums again] Beast! [hums again] Murderer! [hums again]

Uh, Grubby!

Forrest Woodbush

Funeral-Planner?

Cootie!

Forrest Woodbush

Hemorrhoid!

Squirt!

Forrest Woodbush

Frank!

Stinky!

Forrest Woodbush

Maniac!

Flunky!

Forrest Woodbush

Violet.

Spike!

Forrest Woodbush

Lunatic!

Spot! [Spot looks up; happily] Spot! Come here, Spot, come here! [Spot comes to sit beside him]

Forrest Woodbush

He is named. You clearly are connected. Good for you. On your path to Clawtooth Mountain, that creature will keep you safe. Don't ever lose him.

Ramsey

Look like he’s a cutest thing.

He likes you.

Nash

Imagine that, Ramsey. [leaning towards her] Even with your stinky face!

Ramsey

Nash! Boundaries! This is my personal bubble.

Nash

Nah, that ain't your bubble. THIS is your bubble...! [they start wrestling]

Butch

Nash, get outta your sister's bubble.

Thunderclap

Still I know the way.

My name's Arlo.

Thunderclap

I'm sorry, I just used to have a name like that once. But that was before I started following the storm!

The storm?

Thunderclap

The storm swept me out. I was afraid for my life. But the storm gave me a relevation, and I wasn't scared anymore!

You mean a revelation?

Thunderclap

No, a relevation! Okay? I was at a real low-point, you know? And the storm swept me up to a real high-point! And then left me at a "higher-elevation"!

Wow...

Thunderclap

Yeah, wow! That's when the storm gave me my new name, because - what do we say?

"The storm provides!"

Thunderclap

The storm provides. You can call me Thunderclap.

Forrest Woodbush

He can protect me, like my friends. [describing his pets] This is Fury. He protects me from the creatures that crawl in the night. This is Destructor. She protects me from mosquitoes. This is Dreamcrusher. He protects me from having unrealistic goals. And this is Debbie. [silence; Debbie the bird tweets at Forrest] Yes, we need him.

Poppa Henry

You're me and more. Now go take care of that critter.

Poppa Henry

RUN, ARLO!

I'm never getting home! [despairing] I'm never getting home... [falls to his knees]

Don't move? What if they have claws and big teeth?

I don't know. I'm going home. Do you know how far Clawtooth Mountain is?

Butch

A deal's a deal. At first light, we ride.

Thunderclap

Ah, a free critter, thanks to you.
