Buck
No worries, because I've got a plan.
Manny
Really, to stop an asteroid?
Buck
[shows the tablets on the prophecy]
Look, the last two asteroids have pummeled the earth in the same spot, and it's about to happen again. We've got to go there and see what's attracting the asteroid. Once we know why it's coming, we can figure out how to send it somewhere else.
Granny
That plan is so dumb, I wish it had a face so I could smack it.
Manny
Let me get this straight: instead of running away from a deadly asteroid, you want us to run directly towards it.
Buck
I know it sounds suboptimal. But the good news is, it'll kill us no matter where we went!
Diego
Well, that's reassuring.
Manny
Okay. Even if we get to the crash site, how are we supposed to change what is literally written in stone?
Buck
Ah, my cynical friend, the dinos were wiped off the face of the Earth, but some escaped. They changed their fate and we can change ours, too! Who's with me?! [the Herd all look at each other, then quickly huddle in]
Manny
So what do you think?
Ellie
Honestly, I'm worried the weasel's right.
Buck
[dressed up with a leaf hat, nicking a lady's voice]
No, don't listen to the weasel. He's a raving loon! [everyone just stares at Buck severely, and he laughs] Sorry, I just love playing devil's advocate. [singsong] And looking fabulous!!
Diego
Well, Buck has saved our lives before, right?
Shira
But what if he can't this time?
Peaches
I don't know what to believe, but I'm afraid our lives will be over before they begin.
Manny
[They break up]
Okay...I guess we're in.
CA Crash and Eddie
[salute]
Crash and Eddie reporting for duty!
Eddie
Haha! "Dooty". [he and Crash laugh]
Buck
Excellent!
Sid
[crying]
All I wanted is true love. Is that too much to ask? [crying]
Diego
Why is it so quiet?
Sid
Because the world is mourning my loss. [screams]
Manny
Ellie? Peaches? Where is everyone?
CA Crash and Eddie
Ta-da!
Ellie
Happy Anniversary, honey!
Manny
Anniversary? [realized] Oh, no. That's the thing.
Julian
Okay! Now it's your turn, Bro-Dad!
Peaches
Yeah!
Crash
We wanna see what you got, Ellie.
Eddie
Manny.
A All
Manny. Manny. Manny. Manny. Manny. Manny.
Manny
Hey, hey. Right. Uh... So, how about another hand for Ellie?
MM Male Molehog
Yeah. Oh.
FD Female Diatryma
He forgot!
FG Female Guest
I feel so bad for Ellie.
Manny
Ellie, I... Uh...
MM Male Molehog
He didn't forget. That's how big Manny's love is for her!
MA Manny and Sid
Nice save with the light show. Wait, you didn't do this? Then who did?
Ellie
Oh, Manny. I was so afraid you'd forgotten. But you lit up the sky for me? How'd you do it?
Manny
Uh, well... A magician never reveals his secrets.
Ellie
Oh... Thank you.
Diego
I keep picturing our own kid in there. He'd be the best one.
Shira
I think you meant "she."
Diego
He.
Shira
Either way, we've been over this, Diego. Kids are afraid of us.
Diego
Yeah, but why?
L Lily
Are they gonna eat us?
DA Diego and Shira
Hi, kids!
Shira
I even smiled this time.
Peaches
Wow, Dad. Best present ever.
Julian
You, sir, are an education in marital excellence. I'm really gonna miss you guys when we leave.
Manny
Ow!
Peaches
Um, actually, I haven't told them yet.
Julian
Oh. Surprise!
Manny
You're leaving?
Ellie
I thought you guys were gonna live with us the first couple of years.
Peaches
I know. But Julian and I kind of want to roam for a while.
Manny
Roam?
Julian
Yeah! Travel, explore, just go wherever. No plan is the best plan. That's my philosophy. Hors d'oeuvres?
Manny
That's not a plan, or a philosophy or very safe.
Peaches
Dad, we're young. We can worry about being safe when we're old and boring. Like you and Mom.
Julian
I think we should just...
Manny
Excuse me! This is a family discussion.
Julian
But aren't I part of your family?
Manny
Not yet; you're not.
Manny
Uh...Hello?
Sid
[screams]
Manny
[gasps]
Buck
Oh! Hello, mammals.
Eddie
Hi, Buck!
Buck
Hi.
Crash
Bye, Buck!
Buck
Um, a little help.
Manny
[grunting]
Buck
Right on the spleen! Utterly useless, but totally hurts.
Diego
[laughs]
Hey, Buck. Welcome back, buddy.
Shira
Wait. This half-a-snack is the dinosaur whisperer?
Buck
And expert salsa dancer. [scats] Whoo! I have one eye but all my original teeth. Would you like to count them? [shows his teeth] Ah...
Shira
No, thank you.
Buck
And this must be Nectarine.
Peaches
Um... Peaches.
Buck
Semantics, my dear. I am deeply honored.
Julian
Sweet eye patch. Very gangsta.
Buck
Thank you. [to Peaches] I like this kid.
Manny
Buck. What are you doing here?
Buck
Well, I... [stops to stare at Stump for a moment then zips close to it] What? I'm trying! But how do you tell someone they're doomed? [to the mammals] He's stumped.
Manny
We're not doomed, Buck. It was just a meteor shower, and the show's over.
Buck
[hops close to Manny's face]
Oh, quite the contrary, old chap. It's just beginning. You see, I found a prophecy.
Manny
[?] [Crash & Eddie keep drumming all the time until Manny takes the drum sticks away, much to their disbelief]
Do you mind?
Crash
Boy, he really sucks the fun out of everything. Doesn't he?
Eddie
Fun sucker!
Buck
I read this tablet front to back. And the story it tells is very disturbing. Every hundred million years or so, the world gets a cosmic cleansing. Before the dinosaurs, there were these horseshoe crab-looking thingies. Ugh! Yuck. Then, at the bottom of this mountain range, an asteroid hit. Boom! Bye-bye. Next, dinosaurs, mountain range, asteroid. Boom! Bye-bye. And coming up next, mammals. Mountain range, asteroid, boom! Bye-bye.
Eddie
[chuckles]
Stupid mammals.
Crash
That's us.
Buck
Yep, and there she is. The mother of all asteroids screaming towards us. Even going underground won't save us this time.
Diego
Hey, that wasn't there before. And look what it's doing to the sky.
Buck
No worries. Because I've got a plan.
Manny
Really? To stop an asteroid?
Buck
[shows the tablets on the prophecy]
Look, the last two asteroids have pummeled the Earth in the same spot. And it's about to happen again. We've got to go there and see what's attracting the asteroid. Once we know why it's coming, we can figure out how to send it somewhere else.

[the Herd all look at each other, then quickly huddle in]
So, what do you think?
Ellie
Honestly, I'm worried the weasel's right.
Buck
[in high-pitched voice]
No! Don't listen to the weasel. He's a raving loon! [in normal voice] Sorry. I just love playing devil's advocate. And looking fabulous!
Diego
Well, Buck has saved our lives before, right?
Shira
But what if he can't this time?
Peaches
I don't know what to believe. But I'm afraid our lives will be over before they begin.
Manny
Okay. I guess we're in.
CA Crash and Eddie
[salute in unison chorus.]
Crash and Eddie reporting for duty.
Eddie
[laughs]
Doody. [he and Crash laugh]
Buck
Excellent! And dirty word processed. Now, we better get on the road because time till impact is roughly...2 days, 4 hours, 1 minute and 16 seconds. 15 seconds, 14 seconds...
Diego
I think we get it.
Manny
I think we're all gonna get it.
Julian
Whoo! We look so cool. Whoa!
Granny
Ugh. What is this stuff?
Gertie
[???] [roaring]
Where is he? When I am through with that one-eyed weasel...he's going to need two eye patches.
Gavin
I admire your bloodthirstitude, Gertie. But you heard them. An asteroid is coming. This changes things.
Roger
Holy freezballs! It's freezing up here. Parts are retracting into other parts.
Gertie
Would you please stop acting like a parakeet?
Gavin
It's a good thing you got your mother's eyes... or you'd be totally useless.
Roger
Well, that's just hurtful. '[screams]
Gavin
What do you see?
Roger
[sighs]
Nothing. Nothing. Deadly asteroid screaming towards Earth. Wait! There he is. That's too bad. He is really far away. Probably too far to reach by flight. [snaps his fingers] Oh, well. Let's just go home.
Gavin
We are not retreating! Until that weasel came along, our family made an honest living stealing dino eggs.
Roger
An honest living. Stealing. Kind of ironic, don't you think? Besides, why take out the weasel if the asteroid is just gonna take us out?
Gavin
So much sight. So little vision. If we stop the weasel and his friends from diverting the asteroid... Kablooie! It kills the weasel and everyone else... while we glide safely above it all. It'll be our paradise.
Roger
That's seems highly implausible. Just from a scientific standpoint. [Gavin and Gertie growl and glare at him.] Fine. It's a great plan. Dynamite! One of the top three or four species annihilation plans I've ever heard.
Gavin
That's better. Now let's make sure that asteroid hits.
Roger
Why can't we just fear the apocalypse like a normal family?
Diego
Hey, Buck. You have a suggestion for getting around the river?
Buck
Let's see if the tablet's ancient wisdom will guide us. Let my mammals pass!
Diego
That's never gonna work.
Buck
[?]
The ancients grant us safe passage.
Julian
Sweet!
Diego
[?]
Wow, the air feels strange.
Shira
Uh...Diego?
Diego
Hmm...
Manny
What?
Eddie
Finally! We have superpowers!
Buck
Ladies and gentlemen, we have wandered into an electrical storm. [Thunder rumble] I suggest we all stay away from the trees.
Diego: Sure, no problem. It's not like we're in a forest.
Manny
Boy, Mother Nature sure is in a bad mood lately.
Ellie
Good thing we're all here to help each other.
Manny
Oh, like I always say, stay close, stay alive.
Gertie
There they are! Right out in the open. [laughs] How stupid can you be?
Gavin
Come on, kids. Dive!
Buck
Everyone, try not to create any sort of friction.
Crash
No friction. Got it.
Eddie
Yup. Cool beans. Friction is what now? [Crash and Eddie then reaches to touch each other's fingertips akin to "The Creation of Adam'.]
Diego
Oh, no.
Buck
[The possums' fingers connect and the static electrity causes a massive thunderstrike.]
Come on! Let's get out of here.
Sid
[screams]
Hurry, Granny.
Granny
Don't you hurry me. I've been struck by lightning more times- [gets struck by lightning and dies]
Sid
Ahh! Granny!
G Graany
[gets struck by lightning again and is revived]
-than you've had hot breakfasts.
Peaches
[groaning]
Julian
Peaches!
Peaches
Julian, don't move! [panting] I have an idea.
Ellie
[gasps]
Manny
I'm coming, sweetheart! Julian, why aren't you helping her?
Julian
Wait! No, Manny, she... [screams]
Peaches
[groans]
Uh, what are you guys doing?
Manny
Helping?
Diego
What would "not helping" look like? Hey, zapheads!
Diego
Manny, get ready to run.
Manny
Come on, let's go!
Peaches
[???] [screams]
Sid
[screams]
Diego
Everybody make it?
Sid
Shira, Manny, Crash, Eddie, Ellie, Granny. Aw, shoot! I'm out of fingers.
Diego
Buck. Where's Buck?
Buck
Do you hear that? A baby! There's a baby in there!
Crash
Buck, wait! It's too dangerous.
CA Crash and Eddie
[gasping]
Ellie
He's gone.
Sid
I can't believe it.
Granny
Don't know how we'll go on without you, Buck. All right, let's go.
Buck
[screams]
Ellie
It's Buck!
Diego
Huh?
Buck
I got you. Don't worry, I got you. There you are. There. Say "hi," everyone.
Buck
Isn't she gorgeous?
Sid
How can he tell it's a she?
Buck
Such a good little poochie-woochie.
Shira
Just to be clear, that's a pumpkin, right?
Buck
She has a little jaundice, but I think she'll be okay. Yes, you will. I think I'll call you... Bronwyn.
Manny
Um, little buddy? We need you back on planet Earth. While it's still here. Okay?
Buck
Right you are, mammal. Who wants to save the world from the fiery asteroid? You do!
Buck
Mmm... Okay, mammals. Let's stop here for the night.
Manny
Stop? What about the whole end-of-the-world collision thing?
Buck
Oh, asteroid's still a day off. And like my grandfather used to say... [mimics his 'grandfather'] "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Purple sky at night, who moved my foot cream? I need my foot cream." [normal] Grampy was a confused and angry weasel.
D Digeo
You are so funny, J.
Julian
Stop! You're funny. Take it easy, my brother from a tiger mother.
Diego
Hasta manana, J-man.
Manny
What was that?
Diego
What was what? Oh, that! It's a cool way to peace out. Julian taught it to me.
Manny
Well, I'm glad the apocalypse is bringing you together.
Diego
He's a good kid, Manny. I like his philosophy. Give him a chance. Bond with him.
Julian
[singing]
♪So light 'em up, up, up♪ ♪Light 'em up, up, up♪ ♪Light 'em up, up, up♪ ♪I'm on fire!♪
Ellie
Bonding! That's a good idea!
Manny
Oh, right. Got you.
Ellie
You take Julian. I got an idea for Peaches.
Manny
Hey, Bro-Kid.
Julian
Oh, hey, Bro-Dad. You here to rock out?
Manny
Okay. Instead of that... how about a game before bedtime?
Julian
No way! You want to play a game with me? Wow! What is honored times 1,000? No! Times one million? 'Cause whatever that equals is how honored I am.
Manny
So, is that a "yes"?
Julian
Yes, that's a "yes." It's the most "yes"! It's like "yes" with a bunch of s's... so it's like "yessssssssssssssssssss."
Manny
Great! [toss him his hockey stick] I'll see you on the ice! Happy?
Diego
Oh, boy.
Ellie
So, do you think you're ready to go out roaming on your own?
Peaches
I won't be alone. I'll have Julian.
Ellie
Sure. But with asteroids flying, no home to speak of and absolutely no support system, do you think you'll be ready for... this?
Eddie
I'm a wittle baby. [crying]
Ellie
Imagine. You're in the woods, looking for food and your baby gets sick. What do you do?
Peaches
Uh...
Ellie
No! Jiggling makes her feel worse!
Crash
[singing]
♪La-la-la-la.♪ Ah! [crying]
Ellie
Oh, no! Now your older toddler has a skinned knee and a stuffy nose.
Crash
Mommy, hold me! [crying]
Ellie
Now your babies are crying. You have no food and then you come face to face with a rabid beast!
Sid
[growling]
I am a rabid beast who gives rabies to babies. [roaring]
Ellie
And there's an arsonist on the loose.
Granny [laughing]
Sid
[screaming]
Ellie
How are you going to handle all this without our help?
CA Crash and Eddie
[crying]
Peaches
[gasps]
Sid
[screaming]

[screams] [groans]
Oh! Huh?
Granny

Crash
[crying]
Eddie
[crying]
Peaches
Peaches, out!
Ellie
Well, that's just the easy stuff. There's a lot more we still need to cover.
Crash
Uh... Baby made a poopie.
Eddie
[spits]
I'm a method actor, so I will need to be changed.
Buck
Reinforcements have arrived!
Gavin
All right, Roger. Lead the way.
Roger
Oh! So that's what approval sounds like.
Buck
Keep it up, dinos. Use that Jurassic super strength! Beep, beep, beep.
Gavin
Watch out, kids!
Manny
[grunting]
Buck
The weasel has landed.
Manny
[gasping]
I'll push it in. Go with Peaches and Ellie! [grunting]
Julian
No! I'm not leaving you! We'll do this together!
Peaches
Mom, where are they?
Diego
Ellie, we've got to get everyone off the volcano.
Granny
Folks, I'm outta cake, but I got salami!
Shira
Faster, faster!
Granny
I'm outta cake, but I got salami!
Diego
Granny, come on!
Granny
Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Manny
[grunting]
This isn't working.
Julian
Mad air on the half-pipe! Manny, I have a plan! We have to let the crystal go!
Manny
You know we're trying to get it in the volcano, right?
Julian
Manny, the only thing I want is a life with Peaches. And to prove myself to you. So, okay, two things. I want two things. Do you really think I'd waste the only chance I have left?
Manny
Okay, let's do it!
Julian
On my count. One... Two... Three!
MA Manny and Julian
[grunting]
Manny
[grunting]
Shira
What are they doing?
Julian
Did it work?
Manny
Yes! I take back everything I ever said about you!
Julian
Wait, what?
Manny
Now let's get out of here!
Shira
What happened?
Diego
Maybe it's the quiet before the crazy?
Crash
Eddie!
Manny
We did it. We did it!
Shira
In your face, space rock!
Diego
Yeah, baby!
Granny
Not on the lips, geezer!
CA Crash and Eddie
[singing]
Hit the road, you stupid rock. We just stopped the doomsday clock!
Manny
Bring it in, Bro-Son. Welcome to the family. And you, you coconut! I'll never doubt you again.
Buck
See? Daddy's always right. Remember that when you're older.
