Ice Age2002

[As the animals head out on a journey to Glacier Pass to return the baby to his tribe, and as the sun set that evening, the sound of Roshan’s wailing echoed across the long, flat plateau that Sid, Manfred, and Diego were crossing. Sid holds the bawling Roshan in his arms]

Manny:
Aw, you gotta make it stop. I can't take it anymore!

Diego:
I've eaten things that didn't complain this much!

Sid:
He won't stop squirming!

Diego:
You're holding him wrong!

Manny:
Watch his head!

Diego:
Just put it down!

Sid:
Jeez, "pick him up, put him down..."! [mutters]

Diego:
Its nose is dry.

Sid:
That means there's something wrong with him.

Diego:
Someone should lick it, just in case.

Sid:
I'll do it.

Manny:
Hey, he's wearing one of those baby thingies.

Sid:
So?

Manny:
So, if he poops, where does it go?

Sid:
[slips his tongue back to his mouth. After a slight pause, Roshan resumes crying] Humans are disgusting.

Manny:
Okay, you. Check for poop.

Sid:
Hey, why am I the poop-checker?

Manny:
[leans closer to Sid] Because returning the runt was your idea, because you're small and insignificant, and because I'll pummel you if you don't.

[slight pause]

Sid:
Why else?

Manny:
NOW, SID!

Sid:
[walks back to Roshan] EW! YUCK! EW! I mean, my goodness. Okay Look out. Coming through.

Manny:
Hey, watch out!

Diego:
Stop waving that thing around!

Sid:
Ooh, ooh, i'm gonna slip! Whoa! [throws a baby tissue into Manny, and put the paper into the ground] It's clean! Gotcha! [laughs]

Manny:
[slaps Sid] Will you cut it out?!

[Roshan laughs, then continues crying]

Diego:
[to Manny] Hey, do that again. He likes it.

Manny:
[slaps Sid again; Roshan laughs again] It's making me feel better too.

[Roshan continues crying]

Sid:
Here, you hold it.

[Diego punches Sid. Roshan trying to get hand off Sid, then Sid takes his hand and put it down]

Diego:
Here! Turn him towards me! Where's the baby? There he is! [Roshan stops crying] Where's the baby? THERE HE IS!!

[Roshan crying scared]

Manny:
Stop it! You're scaring him!

[Roshan crying silence, and stomach and ready for food]

Sid:
I bet he's hungry.

Manny:
How about some milk?

Sid:
Ooh, I'd love some!

Diego:
Not you, the baby!

Sid:
Well, I ain't exactly lactating right now, pal!

Diego:
You're a little low on the food chain to be mouthin' off, aren't--?!

Manny:
ENOUGH!!! [echoing]

[They all heard a thud and saw a melon near a bush]

Sid and Manny:
Food!

[Manfred 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 Manfred, Sid and Diego confused.]
