Scenes with Manfred "Manny"
11 scenes[It was a calm, chilly day, and snow was slowly falling on a snowy mountain range from the clouds above. A gentle breeze passed through, blowing the snow around the area. It was a cold place, and there was no life going around, but for one small creature, it wasn't going to stop him from hopping around in search of something. This was a small, saber-tooth squirrel. In his hands was a brown acorn. The saber-tooth squirrel, named Scrat, was looking for a place to store his acorn for the winter. He hopped around the flat, icy ground. He stopped and tried digging through the ice. He pushed his acorn into the ground, but it didn't go in. Scrat hopped a few inches away and tried again, only to get the same result as last time. He hopped again and tried again, this time doing it three times, but once again, the ice was thick. Thinking this wasn’t a good place to put his acorn, Scrat hopped off. He sniffed through some cold, dry grass, but didn’t find anything. He peeked his head above the grass and kept looking. He dug into some more ice but could see that pushing his acorn into it wouldn’t work. He continued his search when he noticed the ice wasn’t as thick as before. Scrat squealed with delight, and he shoved his acorn into the ice. The acorn didn’t go far in, but it at least dug into the ground. But Scrat wasn’t going to leave it like that. He kept shoving it deeper and deeper into the ice, scrunching it in with all his might. He even got on it and stomped on it, desperately wanting the acorn to go in. But as he did, the acorn suddenly jolted into the ground, confusing Scrat. As he thought about why this happened, a crack crept from the acorn’s hole and travelled across the ground behind him. Scrat looked underneath him and saw that the crack was climbing up an ice wall. The crack reached the top of the cliff and zigzagged its way across the ground, past ice formations and reaching a glacier. But this time, it reached the top, and the glacier was now loose. Unable to stay stable, the glacier broke off and slowly started creeping down its path, right towards Scrat. Scrat, seeing what he had unintentionally done, quietly squirmed. He saw the glacier coming towards him and fled. But he stopped upon realizing that his acorn was still stuck. He yelped in shock before rushing back to retrieve it. He grabbed onto it and pulled hard, trying to get it out. It wouldn’t budge, and Scrat started to panic. After a mighty tug, it came loose and landed into Scrat’s hands. But now, Scrat was in huge trouble. The glacier towered over him and was about to run him over. Scrat screamed upon seeing the glacier getting closer.]
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!
[Now making a mad dash for his life, Scrat was also being chased by falling pieces of ice being let up by the moving glacier. The glacier kept charging towards Scrat, demolishing everything in its path. Scrat kept running from the glacier, hoping to get away from it, when suddenly, he spotted another glacier coming towards him from the opposite direction. Now stuck between the two massive bodies of ice, Scrat ran out of their way. But the two glaciers collided and started closing in on each other. Scrat, seeing there was no time to run out of there, slid on his acorn, screaming as the two walls crashed together. Scrat kept sliding until he got very close to the edge, where the two glaciers started squishing him, locking him in place. Scrat pushed his acorn out of the way and tried getting himself out as well. Almost falling into unconsciousness and being squeezed hard, Scrat was finally pushed out, along with his acorn. Now in midair, he grabbed his acorn and embraced it, only to realize that he was now falling from a high altitude.]
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
[Scrat landed on an ice wall, sliding down it and going down a dirt wall. A ledge launched him into the air again, but this time, Scrat crashed on the wall as it slid down to the ground. Bouncing off the dirt, Scrat landed on the ground, with his teeth dug into it. After pulling himself free, he looked around, hoping his acorn survived the experience. His acorn was nowhere in sight. But just as it seemed it was a loss for Scrat, his acorn landed on his head and slid onto the ground. Scrat squealed with happiness upon seeing his beloved acorn intact. He hugged it tenderly and started to walk off in search of a place to put it. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant mammoth foot stomped on Scrat, causing him to lose his grip on the acorn. Flattened by the massive weight, Scrat picked himself up as the mammoth walked off. Suddenly, another prehistoric mammal, a Brontohere, stepped on him. Following him was another mammoth and a dodo bird. Another foot landed on Scrat, but this time, Scrat was stuck on it and was being carried away from his acorn. The foot belonged to a Macrauchenia, a prehistoric mammal that was part of an enormous migration of mammals heading away from the northern regions in search of warmer climates. An ice age had begun. This massive herd of mammals, consisting of Macrauchenia, Glyptodons, Palaeotherium, Prehistoric aardvarks and Brontotherium, was slowly travelling away from the snowy areas, migrating south to avoid a cold front. Miles behind them was a glacier monument known as Glacier Pass, a large ice formation with a huge cut engraved in it, like an ice gorge.]
Macrauchenia #1
Why not call it the Big Chill or the Nippy era? I'm just sayin', how do we know it's an Ice Age?
Macrauchenia #2
[angrily]
Because of all the ice!!!!
Macrauchenia #1
Well, things just got a little chillier.
Meoeritherium
Help! Help!
Adult Meoeritherium
Come on, kids, let's go. The traffic's movin'.
Child Meoeritherium
But, but, but, Dad.
Adult Meoeritherium
No buts. You can play extinction later.
Meoritherium Child
OK. Come on, guys.
Glyptodon 1
So, where's Eddie?
Glyptodon 2
He said he was on the verge of an evolutionary breakthrough.
Glyptodon 1
Really?
Glyptodon 3 (Eddie)
I'm flying!
Glyptodon 1
Some breakthrough.
Animal 1
[As this massive herd continued. Suddenly, a large gasp erupted in the crowd of mammals. Everyone looked, and to their shock, they saw a huge Woolly Mammoth stomping his way across the herd, heading in the opposite direction. Spooked, the mammals in his path frantically started moving out of the way.]
Look out, Look out!
Animal 2
You're going the wrong way!
Animal 3
The other way!
Eurotamandua
Raving mammoth!
Meoritherium
[As this happened, the mammoth didn’t glance at what he was causing, nor did he seem to care. He kept stomping his way through the crowd, ignoring everyone around him. This mammoth, Manfred, in a grumpy mood, ploughs through the crowd. Only one mammal had the guts to stand up to him for his actions.]
Hey! Do the world a favor: Move your issues off the road!!!
Manny [Right in the father's face]
If my trunk was that small, I wouldn't draw attention to myself, pal.
Papa Palaeotherium
Hey, give me a break. We…We've been waddlin' all day.
Manny Oh, go ahead. Follow the crowd. It'll be quieter when you're gone.
Papa Palaeotherium
Ehh, c'mon. If he wants to freeze to death, let him.
[On a nearby tree, someone else was feeling the trembles from the migration.]
And, and she picked a hair off my shoulder and says, "Look, if you’re gonna have an extra mating dance, at least pick a female with a same color pelt, right?" And I thought, "Whoa, she’s gonna go praying mantis on me." You know what I’m saying?
Manny Hey, if you find a mate in life, you should be loyal. In your case, grateful. Now, get away from me!
Well, I think mating for life is stupid, and there's plenty of Sid going around here. [he bumps into him] Manny? Manny? [He and Manny watched as Roshan's mother went to them and gave him to them] Look at that. He's okay. [Manny and Sid notice that she drowned in the water] She's gone. [Manny leaves Roshan after saving him from the river] Hey, Manny. Manny, aren't you forgetting something?
Manny No.
But you just saved him.
Manny Yeah, well, I'm still trying to get rid of the last thing I saved.
You can't leave him here. Look, there's smoke! That's his herd right up the hill. We should return him.
Manny Let's get something straight here. Okay? There is no "we". There never was a "we". In fact, without me, it wouldn't even be a "you"!
Just up the hill.
Manny Listen very carefully, I'm... not... go-ing.
Fine, be a jerk. I'll take care of him.
Manny Oh, yeah, that's good. You'll take care of him. You could've take care of yourself.
I'll return you. We don't need that meany-weeny mammoth, do we? No, we don't.
Manny [on Sid's clumsy attempts to scale a cliff]
You're an embarrassment to nature, y'know that?
This is cake. I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm gonna die. [realizes Roshan starts fall] MANNY! [Roshan starts falling and Manny tries to catch him but Diego jumps in and grabs him, then Manny grabs it out of his teeth]
Um... That pink think thing is mine.
[trying to climb up to the humans' campsite]
Uh, no. Actually, that pink thing belongs to us. [falls down on his head]
"Us"? You two are a bit of an odd couple.
Manny [to Sid]
There is no "us"!
Look, I'm sorry to interrupt your snack, but we gotta go.
The baby? I was returning him to his herd.
Oh, yeah, nice try, bucktooth.
You calling me a liar?
I didn't say that.
You were thinking it.
Name's Diego friend.
Manny Manfred. And I'm not your friend.
Fine, Manfred. If you're looking for the humans, they're wasting your time. They left this morning.
Manny Thanks for advice. Now beat it! All right, I'll help you bring him to his herd, but promise me that you'll leave me alone after that.
Okay! Okay, deal! Hey, what's your problem?!
Manny You were my problem.
Well, I think you're stressed. That's why you eat so much. I mean, it's hard to get fat on the vegan diet.
Manny I'm not fat. It's all this fur; it makes me look poofy.
All right. You have fat hair, but when you're ready to talk, I'm here.
Manny What are you doing? Just drop it on the ledge. [Sid puts Roshan up and starts crawling]
Should we make sure they found him?
Manny Good idea.
Oh, no! No, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! [Manny puts Sid up with his trunk and starts screaming] AAAHHH!!!!!!! DON'T SPEAR ME! [closes his eyes and then sees something] Oh, this is the problem.
Manny Now, what? Aww, that's perfect.
[Roshan tries to touch something up high but then trips and then crawls and hides in the bowl as Sid approaches]
Hey, hey, hey. [Sid walks until the stick knocks him out]
[As for Manfred, he was checking out what was left of the campsite. Tents were destroyed, and objects were scattered. Manfred stopped upon Roshan looking into where he slept last night. Reminded of his mother, he cuddled with it before turning to Manfred. Manfred looked down on Roshan somberly as Roshan slid into his basket again]
I told you they were gone.
Manny Well, look who it is. Don't you have some poor defenseless animal to disembowel?
They couldn't be far; I mean, they went this way or this way?
You don't know much about tracking, do you?
Hey, I'm a sloth. I see a tree, eat a leaf; that's my tracking.
You didn't miss them by much. [inspects a stick] It's still green. They headed north 2 hours ago.
[Sticks a couple of twigs in his mouth, pretending to be Diego]
"Hey, it's still green. They headed north two hours ago."
[Roshan laughs and flings a fish at Manny's face]
You don't need this aggravation. Give me the baby. I can track humans down a lot faster than you can.
Manny And you're just a good citizen helping out, right?
I just know where the humans are going.
Manny Glacier Pass. Everybody knows they have a settlement on the other side.
Well, unless you know how to track, you'll never reach them before the pass closes up with snow. Which should be like tomorrow. So, you can give that baby to me, or go get lost in the blizzard. It's your choice.
Manny Here’s your little bundle of Joy. We’re returning it to the humans.
Awww, the big bad tigey-wigey gets left behind. Poor Tigey-Wigey.
Manny Sid, Tigey-Wigey is gonna lead the way.
Uh, uh, Manny, can I- can I- can I talk to you for a second?
Manny No. The sooner we find the humans, the sooner I get rid of Mr. Stinky Drool-face. And the baby too.
You won’t always have Jumbo around to protect you. And when that day comes, I suggest you watch our back... 'cause I’ll be chewing on it.
Manny Hey, upper tracker up front where I can see you.
Help me.
Manny Oh, you gotta make it stop. I can't take it any more!
I've eaten things that didn't complain this much!
He wouldn't stop squirming.
You're holding him wrong!
Manny Watch his head!
Just put him down!
Jeez, "pick him up, put him down..." [mutters]
His nose is dry.
That means there's something wrong with him.
Someone should lick it, just in case.
I'll do it.
Manny Hey, he's wearing one of those baby thingies.
So?
Manny So, if he poops, where does it go?!
[slips his tongue back to his mouth. After a slight pause, Roshan resumes crying]
Humans are disgusting.
Manny Okay, you. Check for poop.
Hey, why am I the poop-checker?
Manny [leans closer to Sid]
Because returnin' the runt was your idea, because you're small and insignificant, and because I'll pummel you if you don't. [slight pauses out]
Why else?
Manny NOW SID! NOW SID!!!
[walks back to Roshan]
EW! YUCK! EW! I mean, my goodness. All right, look out, look out, look out, coming through.
Manny Hey, watch out!
Stop waving that thing around!
Ooh, ooh, I'm gonna slip. Woah! [throws a baby diaper into Manny and puts the diaper on the ground] It's clean! Gotcha! [laughs]
Manny [slaps Sid]
Will you cut it out? [Roshan laughs, then continues cries]
Hey, do that again. He likes it.
Manny [slaps Sid again; Roshan laughs again]
Hey, yeah, and it's making me feel better too. [Roshan continues cries]
Here, you hold it. [Diego punches Sid. Roshan tries to get his hand off Sid, then Sid takes his hand and puts him down]
Here! Turn him towards me! Where's the baby? There he is! [Roshan stops crying] Where's the baby? THERE HE IS! Where's the baby? THERE HE IS!? [Roshan cries scared]
Manny STOP IT! STOP IT! STOP IT!!!!!!! You're scarin' him!
[Roshan cries in silence before his stomach rumbles and he is ready for food]
I bet he's hungry.
Manny How about some milk?
Ooh, I'd love some!
Not you, the baby!
Well, I ain't exactly lactating right now, pal.
You're a little low on the food chain to be mouthin' off, aren't ya...?!
Manny [shouting]
ENOUGH!!! [Theys all heard a rustles sound nearby. They looked and saw a watermelon near a small bush]
Food! [Manny picked up the melon and was about to carry it to Roshan when suddenly, a dodo bird burst from the bush and snatched the melon away. The dodo scurried off, squawking like crazy, leaving everyone confused.]
Dodo Colonel
I don't know, but I've been told
Dodo Soldiers
I don't know, but I've been told
Dodo Colonel
End of the world be mighty cold
Dodo Soldiers
End of the world be mighty cold
Dodo 1
Prepare for the Ice age!
Dodo 2
Protect the dodo way of life!
Dodo 3
Survival separates the dodos from the beasts!
Dodo 4
Protect the dodo way of life!
Dodo 5
Prepare for the Ice age!
Ice age?
I've heard of these crackpots.
Dab
[The dodo that took the melon put it on a tree stump, where there were two other melons. After placing it safely, the dodo saw the group and panicked.]
AWK! Intruders!
Leader Dodo
[lecturing about a smoking crater]
Now, don't fall in. If you do, you will definitely…
Dab
[sprints in, not paying attention to where he's going]
Intruders! Intrud– AAAAHHH!
Dodos
[Trips and falls into crater; a sizzling sound is herd]
EWW! OHH!
Leader Dodo
...burn and die.
Manny Hey, can we have our melon back? Junior's hungry and uh...
Leader Dodo
NO WAY! This is our private stockpile for the Ice Age! Sub-arctic temperatures will force us underground for a million, billion years.
Manny So you got three melons?
Leader Dodo
[The dodos looked at their melons before turning back to the group, offended by that comment.]
If you weren't smart enough to plan ahead, then doom on you.
Other Dodos
[chanting]
Doom on you, doom on you...!
Manny Get away from me.
Leader Dodo
OH, NO! NO! [The melon rolled into Roshan’s arms. Seeing that part of their food supply is in danger, the leader sprang into action] RETRIEVE THE MELON! TAE KWON DODOS! ATTACK!!!
Dodo 6
[The dodos suddenly did martial arts poses, trying to be intimidating. They started kicking each other. One dodo kicked one dodo towards Roshan. He kicked the melon out of Roshan’s hands. Another dodo caught the melon with his head and tossed it to another dodo. Tossing it from one dodo to another, they kept tossing it until one dodo accidentally tossed it over a cliff.]
THE MELON!
Dodos
[squaking]
THE MELON, THE MELON, THE MELON, THE MELON…
Dodo #7
[Not paying much attention, they pushed the dodo off the cliff, taking themselves with him.]
There goes our last female.
Dodos
[Sid snuck behind the tree stump and attempted to take one of the melons, but the dodos noticed him and charged at him. Together, they took the melon out of Sid’s hands and tossed it to each other upwards. One dodo kicked it away. Three dodos caught it with their beaks, but were standing right above the smoking crater]
GOT IT, GOT IT, GOT IT, GOT IT, GOT IT!.... DON’T GOT IT! [they fall into the crater with the melon]
Dodos
[gasps]
The last melon.
[Sid had the melon in his grasp but was mobbed by all of the Dodos. The Melon flew out of the sloth's hands- once again, Manny caught the melon and held it high, preventing it from being snatched up by the dodos. But as he concentrated on protecting the melon, he failed to notice one of the dodos was behind him. The dodo leaps up and chomps on Manny’s tail, causing him to scream in pain and toss the melon into the air. The melon is now flying high into the air. Sid runs after it, dodging several dodos along the way. The melon bounces on some of the birds’ heads before landing in Sid’s hands. Sid smiled, now having some food for Roshan. But as he looked up, he noticed all the dodos were closing in on him, ready for the final assault to grab the melon. Surrounded, Sid looked at Roshan, who held his hand out, wanting the melon. Outnumbered, but not giving up on Roshan, Sid held the melon tightly and started running through the dodo flocks. Using his hand to protect him, he pushed, shoved and smacked every dodo in his path out of the way. He braved his way through the countless dodos. Some dodos tried attacking Sid, but ended up inadvertently attacking each other. Fighting his way through the flocks, Sid saw the remaining flock charging towards him from all around. Taking a risky action, Sid jumped up and flew above all the dodos. Manfred, Diego and Roshan watched Sid fly. Roshan closed his eyes, worried for the sloth. Sid landed on the ground, and though hurt, he managed to save the melon. Roshan looked and cheered, along with the others. Sid successfully saved the food for Roshan. Sid celebrated his victory while the dodos mourned over the loss of their food supply. Sid didn’t pay attention, being too busy to notice. But in his joy, he threw the melon to the ground. This caused everyone’s joy to turn into shock.]
AAH, Sid! Now we gotta find more food.
Dodos
[Manny, Sid and Diego looks at Roshan eating the melon and saw the dodos running]
Right, more to the right. Right, right, right. More to the right. Right, right, right.
Manny Look at that. Dinner and a show.
Dodos
Left, Left, Left! LEFT, LEFT, LEFT, WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! Woah!
[Later that night, under the starry the sky, Sid wandered off to find food for himself.]
Now to find a meal befitting a conquering hero. [Sid let go of the branch but hit the ground; he got up] What ho? A foe? Come on, come on. You want a piece of me? [Sid uses karate sounds and hits the tree but finds an acorn] Spoils worthy of such a noble- [Sid was about to eat it, but as the acorn was about to land, something came flying into Sid and grabbed the acorn. It was Scrat. After a brief struggle, Scrat took the acorn out of Sid’s mouth and started scurrying away, but not before shaking his fist at Sid for nearly taking away his booty]
Manny Bedtime, squirt. [tuck Roshan in his trunk and settled himself in as he did, he looked at Diego, who was asleep, and then he noticed Sid returning] Oh, the triumphant return.
Huh? Oh, that. [laugh nervously] I'm so full. How about a good night kiss for your big buddy Sid…
Manny Shh! He's asleep.
I was talking to you. [Manny gives a disgusted look at Sid as he prepares to dust off the rock to sleep] Fine, I'll tuck myself in. [reclines on the rock; making moans and groans of relaxation] [yawning] All right... Good Night... [He flops on the rock, then turns over...] [as he's turning over and over] Oooh... ah. [Manny becomes slightly irritated as he watches Sid quirk around on the rock] [groaning] Errr-um... Ahhhhh... [Scene shows Sid lying on the rock on his back and his head lolling off the rock] [talking in his sleep] Nah! [snaps his fingers] Nah! Nah! [shuffles his body counter-clockwise towards the rock's front, making fizzing noises with his teeth and tongue] [flops on his side] Argh... [suddenly jerks his arm and head up and down] [loudly] Hur-agh! Ahh...
Manny [shouts angrily; startling Sid]
WILL YOU STOP IT?!
Manny [He finds a comfortable spot on the rock and begins to suck his thumb]
Oie.
[Everyone started sleeping to pass the night. As for Manfred, he looked at Diego one last time and slowly closed his eyes, ready for the night. But with everyone dozing, Diego quietly opened his eyes. With the moonlight in his eyes, he quietly approached Manfred. He looked at the mammoth and then at Sid. Both were asleep. He smirked, proud to have fooled them into accepting him into the group before turning to Roshan. Lifting his paw, he attempted to take Roshan out of Manfred’s trunk, but a noise stopped him from doing so. To his relief, it was only Sid snoring. Diego extended his paw again, but this time, Manfred moved his trunk, holding Roshan tighter. Frustrated, Diego looked at Manfred before hearing a noise up on a nearby hill. He quietly approached the hill and saw a dead bush rustling. Crouching down, he leapt into the air and tackled his watcher. But as he prepared to attack, he saw that it was only Zeke]
What the...?
Go ahead. Slice me. It'll be the last thing you ever do.
I'm working here, you waste of fur.
Frustrated Diego? Tracking down helpless infants too difficult for you?
Soto's getting tired of waiting.
Yeah, yeah. He said, "Come back with the baby, OR DON'T COME BACK AT ALL!" HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Well, I have a message for Soto. Tell him I'm bringing the baby. And tell him, I'm bringing a mammoth.
Mammoths never travel alone.
Mmm... Look at all that meat. [jumps to attack] LET'S GET 'EM!
[stops Zeke]
Not yet! We'll need the whole pack to bring this mammoth down; get everyone ready. Now!
[The two sabers headed out, leaving Diego to return to his sleeping spot and start dozing off]
Manny [Morning arrives, Manny wakes up and feels for Roshan in his trunk, only to discover that Roshan is gone. He stomps over to the sleeping Diego, who wakes up.]
Where's the baby?
You lost it?!
Rachel
[The scene cuts to Sid with Roshan in a jacuzzi-like mud hot spring, using the baby as a 'chick magnet' to attract two female sloths, Jennifer and Rachel]
Oh, he's lovely. Positively adorable!
Jennifer
[baby-talking to Roshan]
Hello, Pumpkin. Hello, little bunny baby.
Rachel
[to Sid]
Where did you find it?
Ah, poor kid was all alone in the wild. Sabers were cornering him, so I just snatched it!
Rachel
Oh, so brave of you!
Yeah, well... He needed me... [wistfully], and I wished I had one of my own, too...
Jennifer
[excited]
REALLY?! [she calms herself down] I'm... I'm attracted that quality in a male.
Rachel
[gushing]
You caring for a baby...
[notices that Roshan is gone and pulls the muddy baby up]
Yeah, well... You know... [Roshan playfully throws mud on Sid's face; they both laugh; he grabs something to wipe the mud off his face] Cute kid, huh? So, as I was saying, ladies... uh... [wipes on his face, which is Manny's trunk; he realizes and gasps] Oh, hey! Hey... Manny!
Manny [taking Roshan away]
What's the matter with you?
Excuse me, ladies. You just keep marinating and I’ll be right back. Sexy?
Jennifer
He’s not much to look at, but it’s so hard to find a family guy.
Rachel
Tell me about it. All the sensitive ones get eaten.
Manny Why, a good-looking guy like you?
No, you say that but, you don’t mean it.
Manny No, seriously, look at you. Aw, those ladies they don’t stand a chance.
You have a very cruel sense of humor.
Manny Don’t let me cramp your style.
Oh, thanks, Manny, you’re my pal. You are my best.
Manny Without Pinky.
Manny, Manny, I need him! Fine. [humming] So, ladies, where are we?
Carl?
Easy, Frank!
Manny [Carl and Frank growl and Sid screams]
Pretty tail walk by; suddenly he moves like a cheetah. And that tiger... Yeah, Mr Greater Tracker. Can’t even find a sloth. What am I? The wet nurse. What are you looking at, bone bag? Look at you. You’re gonna grow into a great predator. Huh? I don’t think so. What have you got? You got a little patch of fur. No fangs, no claws. You’re folds of skin wrapped in mush. What’s so threatening about you? Hey, does this look like a petting zoo, huh? Okay, all right, wise guy. You can earn a time-out. Oh, you think that's funny. How about this? You’ll be a little snack for the owls. You’re a brave little squirt; I’ll give you that.
[runs and finds Diego]
Oh, Thank goodness. Thank goodness. [pretending that Diego eating him] OH, NO! A TIGER! HELP! HELP!
Where's the baby?
[whispers]
Oh, he's fine. Manny has him. Just put me in your mouth. Hurry up. [still pretending Diego eating him] AAAAAOOOOOHHHH! HE GOT ME! Oh, help…
Get away from me.
Went this way? Over here.
[Sid kicks Diego and he snarls at him, then Carl and Frank stop running, the Sid going to play dead]
No, Carl. The tiger beat us up to him!
Wait a minute. [sniffs Sid, trying to see if he really was dead. He backed away a few inches, irritated by the sloth’s smell. Diego looked at him, as if he was trying to claim Sid as his own kill. Seeing that he and Frank were too late, Carl turned around] He’s dead all right.
Oh, carnivores have all the fun.
Gosh, I hate breaking their hearts like that. But you know how it is. All right, thanks. You can put me down now. Manny! Manny!
Manny Guys, I thought we were in a hurry. Oh, and Diego, spit that out. You don't know where it's been. [Diego spits Sid out]
Boy. For a second there, I actually thought you were gonna eat me.
I don't eat junk food.
Thought you were gonna... I thought you were gonna... Were you?
[Send Me On My Way plays]
Come on, wait up. Wait up. Come on, come on. Can you wait a second, please? Hey, fellas. Phew! Thanks for waiting.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one...
Manny Sure is faithful.
Manny [Further on into the walk, Sid was carrying Roshan. Roshan poked Sid on the neck, trying to play with him. Sid ignored him, but turned to Roshan after getting poked again. Sid poked Roshan back, but Roshan poked him once more. This started friendly, but it turned into a tense poking match between the two. Roshan squirmed as he kept poking Sid.]
Don't make me reach back there!
Yeah, well, he started it!
Manny I don't care who started it, I'll finish it!
[The group kept going on their walk. They stopped upon seeing a geyser blow out a red colored amount of steam. Before they could do anything, they saw a huge glacier rolling past them. It was like a glacier train. After the glacier rolled by, the geyser blew out a green colored amount of steam. Confused but not worried, the group continued. They travelled past a giant slab of ice that went down onto a cliff as a result of the group’s weight. But the slab went back up like a seesaw, causing Sid, the only member left, to fly back where he came. Later on, with Sid back with them, the group continued their journey. Sid, having an idea to entertain himself, picked up a snowball and threw it at Manfred. Manfred looked back, and Sid pointed towards Roshan. Ignoring their antics, Manfred continued the walk with the others. The group walked past a monument that looked a lot like Stonehenge]
Manny Modern architecture. It'll never last.
Hiya, Manny.
Hi, Diego.
Manny Hey, Sid. [The gang come across Scrat, who is burying his acorn] You're lost, aren't ya?
No. I know exactly where I'm going.
Manny Ask him for directions.
I don't need directions!
Manny Fine, I'll ask him. [to Scrat] Hey, buddy! Have you seen any humans come around here? [Scrat starts moving around]
Oh, I love this game! I love it! Let's see... 3 words. First word. [Scrat steps his foot] Uh, stomp! [Scrat angrily jumps around] No, no! Stamp, stamp, stamp!
Manny Let me try. [Scrat puts his acorn over his back] Uh... pack!
Good one, Manny! [Scrat pretends to be a sabre-tooth] Pack of... long teeth and claws. [Diego looks at his claws] Pack of... wolves, pack of...?
Manny Pack of bears? Pack of fleas!? [Scrat angrily points at Diego, meaning "Pack of tigers"]
Pack of whiskers? Pack of noses?
Manny Pachyderm…
Pack of lies, pack of troubles, pack of wallop...?! [Diego flicks Scrat into the mountain slope] ...Pack of birds, pack of flying fish...! [Scrat was sent flying over a snowy hill. His acorn landed on the hill, but it was rolling down, forming a snowball. Scrat got caught in this snowball as it rolled down the hill and got bigger and bigger. As for the group, they continued their journey in search of the humans. Sid, once again acting mischievously, put Roshan on a rock and picked up a snowball. He threw it to Manfred, who got irritated and swiftly turned around. This time, however, Roshan pointed towards Sid. Sid got nervous, worried about what Manfred might do, before seeing a snowball fall from the sky. It landed right on him, burying most of his body in snow. Roshan laughed at Sid’s misfortune while Manfred, irritated with Sid again, couldn’t help but give a slight smile. However, this adventure was not without serious cold problems. A blizzard hit them, and they were shivering. But they kept on going, unwilling to stop. Diego led them through the blizzard, getting some ice on his saber teeth. Manfred, on the other hand, had icicles growing on his tusks while he had Roshan ride on his back. Sid had icicles on his nostrils as he shivered in the cold]
[Further into the journey, Diego walked a distance from the group, looking for where to travel next. But as he reached a snowy hill, he spotted the human tribe, not far away. Surprised to see them there, Diego turned back and saw Manfred approaching. Diego looked around, trying to find a way to lead them away from the humans. He spotted a dark cave nearby and thought of a plan]
Hey! Great news. I found a shortcut.
Manny What do you mean, shortcut?
I mean faster than the long way around.
Manny Ow! I know what a shortcut is.
Look, either we slip through there and beat the humans to Glacier Pass, or we take the long way and miss them
Manny Through there? What do you take me for?
This time tomorrow, you could be a free mammoth. Or a nanny. I never get tired of peekaboo.
Hey, guys, guys, check this out.
Manny Sid, the tiger found a shortcut.
No thanks. I choose life.
Then I suggest you take the shortcut.
Are you threatening me?
Manny Quick, inside! [he then finds out that it's blocked] Okay, I vote shortcut.
[to Manny and Sid as they walk through the icy cave]
Come on, guys. Stick together. It is easy to get lost in here.
[ignoring Diego and focusing on the ice formations, he hits his nose really hard on a slab of ice; sticks out tongue]
Uugh... [falls to the ground, unconscious. Unbeknownst to him, his tongue, which had flopped out of his mouth when he knocked himself out, had stuck to the ice floor. A few seconds later, he feels woozy and tries to get up, but his tongue is stuck] Ugh. [realizing, he tries to pull it off; gets free, stands up and looks around for his friends] Uh, guys? [screams looking at a fish] Heh-heh, a fish. [screams again after he looks at the dinosaur, he then looks at his frozen ancestors and looks at a big spaceship]
Roshan
[looking at the spaceship and makes a Spock hand figure]
Ba.
Manny [to Sid]
Will you keep up, please? It's hard enough to keep a track of one baby. [Roshan just slides into the ice, and wave at them]
All
AAAAAHHHHH!! [They ran to him, Roshan slides on the ice, continues. Manny, Sid and Diego jump onto the ice slides.]
Alright, that's it! Give me the baby back!
Roshan
WHEE.
I gotcha. [There is a hole on the ice and cause him fell, he is upside down sliding, but Manny screamed, but Sid lands into him, Diego scraped the ice with his claws, and land on Manny's butt]
Manny OOOWWWW!!!
Captain, iceberg ahead.
Oh, no. [The gang has just saved Roshan and survived icy slides... then crash into a ice wall] WHOA! WOO! YEAH! Who's up for round 2?! [Manny and Sid angrily stare at him] Oh. Tell the kid to be more careful.
[Scrat also got out of the snow. After shaking the snow off him, he looks around for his acorn. He saw his acorn and squealed in delight. He rushed towards it, only to crash into a wall, with the acorn being a drawing]
Whoa. Look, look. Tigers. Eesh! [Roshan whimpers] No, it's OK, it's OK. Look, the tigers are just playing tag with the antelope. With their teeth.
Come on, Sid, let's play tag. You're it.
[giggles]
Sure. OK, OK, OK, where are the sloths? You never see any sloths. Have you ever noticed? Oh! Look, Manny, a mammoth.
Manny Ooh, somebody pinch me.
Hey, hey, this fat one looks just like you. Aw, he’s got a family… oh, and he’s happy. Look, he's playing with his kid. See Manny? That's your problem. That's what mammoths are supposed to do.
Sid...
Find a she-moth, have little baby mammoths...
Sid!
W-What?
Shut up.
But... Oh.
[As Manfred stared at the drawings, the still images began to move in his mind, coming alive. He remembered playing happily in a lush meadow with his wife and his child, romping in the sunshine until a horde of humans ran out of the woods, waving their spears fiercely. Manfred faced off against the hunters, trying to hold them back with his imposing tusks. Behind him, his family ran to find shelter. Then Manfred heard a deep, terrified scream. He wheeled around and saw that his mate and child were trapped against a rock wall by humans aiming spears at them. Before Manfred could move, another group of humans dropped heavy rocks from atop the rock wall. Bellowing in anguish, Manfred saw his family being crushed by the rocks. His cries shook the landscape, echoing all around. Back in the cavern, the mammoth shook his head, clearing the devastating memory from his mind. He breathed heavily, trying to regain control of his runaway emotions. Sid and Diego stared at Manfred with worried eyes. Then they turned back to the painting, clearing their throats uncomfortably. Manfred kept staring at the cave drawings. He gazed at the sketch of the father mammoth cradling his young child in his trunk. Slowly, Manfred raised his own trunk toward the illustration. Before he could reach it, Roshan’s tiny hand touched the drawing gently. He was standing on his feet, propped up against the cave wall. Surprised, Manfred pulled back his trunk. He blinked at the little human boy. Roshan stroked the picture of the baby mammoth with his fingers, glancing back at the mammoth as though he was connecting the two in his mind. Then Roshan stumbled toward Manfred. Manfred caught the baby with his trunk. He slowly lifted Roshan off the ground. He curled his trunk, hugging Roshan close, nuzzling his cheek against the baby’s head. Sid sniffled, wiping a glob of snot from his nose with his paw onto Diego. Manfred swooped Roshan onto his back and walked out of the cave without a word. Sid followed. Diego took one last look at the painting of the mammoth family and let out a sad sigh, then sauntered out of the cave after the others]
[Deep in the glacial valley, Runar led his hunters across a snowy plain. Their wolves pulled on their leashes, sniffing the ground like hunting dogs. The humans stopped beside a set of footprints to examine them, but then they shook their heads sadly. They weren’t tiger tracks. The wolves sniffed around, digging their noses in the snow, but they seemed confused. Runar tightened his grip on one wolf’s leash—he had to admit that the wolves had lost the scent. One of the hunters came over and took the leash from Runar’s grip. With a deep sigh, the chief looked down at his son’s broken necklace in his hand. He shook his head, giving up hope. He had to lead his people through Glacier Pass to their settlement on the other side before the snow made that trip impossible. With a heavy heart, Runar followed his hunters back toward the rest of the tribe]
Manny Well, would you look at that. The tiger actually did it. There's Half Peak, next stop, Glacier Pass. How could I ever have doubted you?
Did you hear that, little fella? You are almost home. [stops and noticed his feet] My feet are sweating.
Do we need a news flash every time your body does something?
Manny He's doing it for attention; just ignore him.
Seriously. My feet are really hot. Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Manny [A rumbling sound from behind him follows him]
Tell me that was your stomach.
Shh.
I'm sure it was just thunder. From underground?
Manny, Sid, and Diego
[Then the geyser from the volcano blasted out of the snow]
RUN!!!!!!! [The tries to runs away]
Manny I WOULD IF YOU'RE MOVING?!
Manny Wish granted. [kicks Sid in his rear, sending him flying in the air, slides and bumps into a bark wall]
COME ON, MOVE FASTER!!!!!!!
Manny Have you noticed the river of lava?! [jumps and Diego tries to jump but can't make it across, causing Manny to realize that he can't make it and gives Roshan to Sid] Hold Pinky!!! [pushes Diego and Sid to safety, but the ledge beneath him gives way and falls off]
MANNY!! [then Manny is launched by a geyser back onto the higher ground] Manny! Manny, Manny, Manny! You okay?! Come on, come on, say something. Anything!
Manny You're standing on my trunk.
What? What? I can't hear you.
Manny You're standing on my trunk.
Why did you do that? You could've died trying to save me.
Manny That's what you do in a herd; you look out for each other.
I don't know about you guys, but we're the weirdest herd I've have ever seen.
[Meanwhile, at Half Peak, Soto looks up into the distance and hasn't seen Diego, waiting for him to come back. He turns around and meets up with Zeke, Oscar, and Lenny]
Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo! I can't wait to get my claws in that mammoth!
NO ONE TOUCHES THE MAMMOTH UNTIL I GET THAT BABY! [Pauses out; walks off, making Zeke quiet for a bit]
[pauses]
First, I'm gonna slice its hindquarters in sections; I'll put the white meat in one pile and the dark meat in another.
Next the shoulders. Occasionally tough, but extremely juicy.
[grabs Lenny's paw]
Save Your Energy! Mammoths don't go down easy. There's only one way to do it. First, you have to force it into a corner. Cut off its retreat, and when you three have it trapped, I'll go for the Throat.
[Lenny gulps by the throats. Soto, Zeke, and Oscar smile evilly]
Manny [During the snowstorm at night]
Guys, we gotta get this kid outta the wind! How much further?
Three miles.
Manny I'm beat. We'll get there in the morning.
I'm putting sloths on the map. [Pauses]
Manny Hey, why don't you make it realistic and draw him lyin' down?
And make him rounder. [Manny drew a round body on the sloth] Perfect.
[sarcastically]
Ah-ha! I forgot how to laugh! [colors his body and notices that he can create fire] I'm a genius! [kisses the chalk]
[The scene cuts to a perfect fireplace Sid made]
From now on, you'll have to refer to me as "Sid, Lord of the Flame"!
Manny [sarcastically]
Hey, Lord of the Flame, your tail's on fire.
[Noticing this, Sid runs around in circles, screaming. Diego grabs Sid and pulls him back into a small pile of snow, extinguishing the fire] [sighs in relief]
Thank you. From now on I'm gonna call you Diego-
Lord of "Touch Me, and You're Dead". [Sid gasps in fright] Nah, I'm just kidding, you little knucklehead! [grabs Sid and gives him noogies as he says it]
Manny Hey, lovebirds. Look at this.
[Roshan start walking]
I don't believe it. [Diego and Manny smile] Come here, you little biped. Come here, you little wormy-worm. Come to Uncle Sid. [Roshan walks over to Diego] No, no, no, no, no, no. This way. This way.
No, no, no. No, go to him. Go to him. [Roshan hugs him] Um, Okay. Good job. Um, keep practising.
Look at that. A little guy is growing up.
Manny [Roshan sneezes and yawns]
All right, come on. Sleep time, Lumpy.
Look at that big pushover. You know, Diego, I've never had a friend who would risk his life for me.
Yeah, Manny's...is a good guy.
Yeah, he is. Well, good night.
[licks and cleans Roshan up]
All right, let's get you all cleaned up. I mean, what's your daddy gonna say when we go back smudgy and stinky like this? Okay. Let me just clean that up. That looks good. A little bit here.
Manny You clean up, nice little fella.
I think he started to look like me. Hey, Diego, what do you say?
Why not?
Because if we save him, he'll grow up to be a hunter, and who do you think he'll hunt?
Maybe because we save him, he won't hunt us. [Roshan poke in Sid's nose] Ow! My nose!
Yeah, maybe he'll grow fur and a long skinny neck and call you mama!
Manny [concerned about the saber's behavior]
What's your problem?
Nothing. Let's go. I'm freezing my tail off.
Manny [Oscar watches Diego, Manny, and Sid walk. Diego stops walking and then looks up at Soto and Tigers. He looks down]
Hey, Diego, you've frozen back there?
Huh?
Manny What?
Shh! Get down and follow me.
Hey, hey, what's going on?
At the bottom of Half Peak, there's an ambush waiting for you.
What?
Manny What do you mean ambush? [beat] You set us up.
It was my job! I was suppose to get the baby, but then...
Manny YOU BROUGHT US HOME FOR DINNER!!!!!!!!
That's it. You're out of the herd!
I'm sorry.
Manny [pushes the saber against the wall with his tusk]
No, you're not. Not yet.
Listen, I can help you.
Manny Stay close, Sid. We can fight our way out.
You can't; the pack's too strong. You have to trust me.
Manny TRUST YOU?!?! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD WE TRUST YOU?!?!
Because I'm your only chance. [Manny, Sid, and Roshan look at Diego in doubtingly. The scene changes to the sabers are still waiting for Diego to arrive when he appears] Hello, ladies.
Hey look who decided to show up.
Soto Diego, I was beginning to worry about you.
Diego No need to worry. In about two minutes, you'll be satisfying your taste for revenge.
Very nice.
Don't give away your positions until you see the mammoth. He's the one we have to surprise.
You wanna maul something, don't you, Zeke?
Then what are you waiting for?
[Diego nods with a shrug. Soto growls and follows them. Sid skis the snow; Soto looks at the blanket of a snowman] [to Soto, Zeke, Oscar and Lenny]
Sorry, fellas, it got a little frostbite! [leaves]
GRRRR! GET HIM!
Manny [Sid runs away laughing and the tigers run after him but suddenly confronted by Manny]
Surprise! [throws the log at tigers]
Okay. Follow me. We'll pick up Sid and get outta here while we can.
Come on, Diego. Let's bring this mammoth down.
[finds Roshan in the tree]
There he is. [Roshan plays "Where's the Baby?"] That's right. Where’s the baby! [sees Zeke creeping up to them] Oh! [as Zeke jumps, Sid grabs Roshan while screaming. But Zeke is now stuck in the tree. Sid smirked with an idea and jumped on Zeke three times] Survival of the fittest! I don't think so. Yeah! [Roshan gives Sid high-five]
Leave the mammoth alone.
[last words before his death]
Fine, I'll take you down first.
[Soto and Diego began to fight violently until Diego was knocked down. Soto was about to charge at Manny, but Diego sacrificed himself by leaping in front of Manny, causing Soto to claw at Diego, who lay on the snow. Then Sid and Roshan came back to see the fight. Roshan cried out in horror at the wounded Diego, which made Soto see them. Sid covered Roshan's mouth as Soto was about to get the baby. But Manny intervened by knocking Soto with his tusks, causing Soto to hit against the wall, and the giant icicles above fell onto Soto, impaling him off-screen. Manny glared at Lenny and Oscar with a threatening growl, causing the tigers to run away in terror]
Manny "Were"? Come on, we're still a team.
I'm sorry I set you up.
Ah, you know me; I'm too lazy to hold a runt. [puts Roshan down next to Diego]
[Roshan cries worryingly]
Hey, knock it off, squirt. You gotta be strong. You have to take care of Manny and Sid. Especially Sid.
Come on, you can lick this. You're a tiger! Look, I'll carry you. Come on, what do you say? Come on, Diego, come on. Tell him he's gonna be okay, Manny.
Listen, you have to leave me here. If those humans get through the Glaciers Pass, you'll never catch them.
Manny You didn't have to do that.
That's what you do in a herd.
Don't forget about us, okay?
Manny [picks up Roshan one last time]
We won't forget about you.
[Roshan smiles and hugs Manny before returning to his father. Roshan's father gives the necklace to Manny as a token of their friendship before they part ways] [sniffs]
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
Manny Sid...
Bye. Bye. [Roshan plays "Where's the Baby?"] That's right. Where's the baby?
Manny Come on, Sid, let's head south.
[Manny stops as he sees Diego, fully recovered, walking slowly up to them. He smiles as Roshan is reunited with his father. Roshan smiled as he saw Diego alive and well. He plays "Where's the Baby?" one last time, and so does Diego, until Roshan is out of sight]
Bye. [sniffs]
Save your breath, Sid. You know humans can't talk.
Nine lives, baby!
Yay! You're okay, you're okay! [hits Diego] I could kiss ya! [kisses Diego and gets a few of his fur out of his mouth] Yuck, yuck, ptoo!
Manny Welcome back, partner. Want a lift?
No, thanks. I gotta save whatever dignity I've got left.
You're hanging out with us now, buddy. Dignity's got nothing to do with it. [to Manny] But I'll take that lift.
Manny Yeah, climb aboard.
[climbs on Manny]
Yeah! Mush! Or not mush. Either way. [Manny begins to walk; Diego went after them, as "Send Me on My Way" plays again] This is gonna be the best migration ever! I'll tell ya, I'll show you my favorite watering holes. I turn brown when the fungus in my fur dries out.
Manny Yeah, sounds very attractive.
You know, this whole ice age thing is getting old. You know what I could go for? Global warming.
Manny Oy.
Keep dreaming.
No, really.
[Manny, Sid and Diego walk into the sunset] [20,000 years later, Scrat was frozen in ice with his acorn as the waves washed him on a tropical island where the sun shines down on him and hours later, the ice starts to melt and is half tree since his legs and butt are still frozen so he stretches as far as he could to get his acorn, but the waves washed it away from his grasp. The squirrel screams in rage before breaking free from the ice and runs into a coconut tree to bang his head when a coconut falls from behind him; then looks delighted at the sight of it and carries it to an area where he puts it onto the ground as it cracks across the island until makes its way up a volcano which causes it to erupt and lava to flow, Scrat gulps and chuckles nervously at the audience and breaking The Fourth Wall and the film ends]
