“It's all gonna flood. Come on. We've gotta warn them.” – Manny, Ice Age: The Meltdown ... Movie Quotes Database

Manny

It's all gonna flood. [walking away] Come on. We've gotta warn them.

Sid

Hmm. Maybe we can rapidly evolve into water creatures.

Diego

That's genius, Sid. [heads off after Manny]

Sid

Call me 'Squid'.

Sid

[Sid follows Diego and Manny]

Yeesh, this whole thing's a piece of junk. I can't believe I live here.

Sid

[Sid bounces up and down on the ground, and a rumbling noise is heard. Manny and Diego stop hearing the noise and look at Sid, who shrugs]

What?

Manny, Diego and Sid

[The ice beneath them breaks sending them all falling back down to the water park below]

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!

Fast Tony

Forget reeds. I present you with this revolutionary gizmo we call bark. It's so buoyant, it actually floats!

Male Start

I'll show you something that floats! [laughs]

Fast Tony

Oh, all right. It's your funeral.

Fast Tony

[Manny, Diego and Sid slide towards Fast Tony, who curls up upon seeing them coming, but stop just moments before they hit him. Tony looks at Manny and uncurls]

You see, this is exactly what I'm talking about! Giant balls of furry lava! The sizes of mammoths! Raining from the sky!

Male Shovelmouth

Ah, go suck air through a reed!

Manny

You've gotta listen to him! He's right about the flood!

Fast Tony

[Confused at Manny's sudden support]

I am? I mean, uh, yes, I am.

Deer

Wait a minute. You're the one who said there wasn't going to be a flood. Why should we listen to you?

Manny

Because we saw what's up there! The dam's gonna break! The entire valley's gonna flood!

Animals

[laugh]

Lone Gunslinger

Flood's real all right. And it's coming fast! Look around. You're in a bowl. Bowl's gonna fill up, ain't no way out.

Female Deer

[The animals murmur worriedly among themselves]

What are we going to do?!

Lone Gunslinger

Unless, you can make it to the end of the valley. There's a boat. It can save you.

Male Start

I don't see anything.

Lone Gunslinger

But, y'all better hurry. Grounds melting, walls tumbling, rocks crumbing. Survive that, and you'll be racing the water. Cause in three days time, it's gonna hit the geyser fields. BOOM!

Animals

[gasp]

[A male beaver faints

Lone Gunslinger

There is some good news, though. The more of you die, the better I eat.

Animals

[gasp]

Lone Gunslinger

[The female beaver faints again]

I didn't say it was good news for you.

Sid

[The Gunslinger flies away]

Ooh, he must've been a real pleasure to have in class.

Everyone

[Then a rumbling noise is heard and everyone looks to see a chunk of ice break off from the dam and fall towards them] [screaming]

Male Beaver

[The animals run as the ice continues to fall and crashes into the valley. A start quickly slides down the ice slide before it falls towards a baby beaver. The female beaver snatches the baby beaver out of the way before the slide hits the ground, causing it to shake. The female beaver puts the baby beaver down before looking up at the dam]

Dam!

Manny

All right, you heard the scary vulture. Let's move out.

Diego

[The animals start moving out of the water park]

Manny, do you really think there's a boat?

Manny

I don't know but in a few days this place is gonna to be a mile underwater. If there's any hope, it's that way.
[Manny, Sid, Diego and the Irelanders head off. Manny suddenly hears something and turns.]
