Scrat quotes from Ice Age (2002)

Scrat

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

[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.]

Scrat

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.]

Scrat

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.]

Why not call it the Big Chill or the Nippy era? I'm just sayin', how do we know it's an Ice Age?

Because of all the ice!!!!

Well, things just got a little chillier.

Help! Help!

Come on, kids, let's go. The traffic's movin'.

But, but, but, Dad.

No buts. You can play extinction later.

OK. Come on, guys.

So, where's Eddie?

He said he was on the verge of an evolutionary breakthrough.

Really?

I'm flying!

Some breakthrough.

Look out, Look out!

You're going the wrong way!

The other way!

Raving mammoth!

Hey! Do the world a favor: Move your issues off the road!!!

Manny

If my trunk was that small, I wouldn't draw attention to myself, pal.

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.

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.]
