[Grug and Phil are relaxing in a sauna inside Phil's man cave]
Phil:
[sighs in relief] Don't tell Mrs. Betterman. While she think's I'm toiling in the hot sun, I'm actually in here in my man cave.
Grug:
Whew! It's hot in here.
Phil:
Grug, it might be a bit more comfortable if you removed your fur pelt.
Grug:
Uh, I already did. [points to his fur pelt hanging on a rack next to Phil's clothes]
Phil:
Right. It's a place where a father can escape the chaos of family life. Relax. Hang with his bros... if bros he has. Another shark milk?
Grug:
So, you come in here to... hide from your family?
Phil:
Not hide, help. I help my family. [slurps his shark milk and lays down on his chair]
Grug:
So, uh, how does this help your family?
Phil:
Yeah, is where I find solutions to my family's biggest problems. [throws a spoonful of water into hot coals, making more steam]
Grug:
Okay.
Phil:
So, feeling relaxed? Comfortable? Susceptible to suggestion? [in a puff of steam, Phil is suddenly next to Grug] What's your problem, big guy?
Grug:
Uh, I don't have a problem.
Phil:
Come on, Grug. I've seen you moping around. What's your problem?
Grug:
I'm hot. That's my problem.
Phil:
Knock-knock. I'm knocking on the door, big guy. Open it.
Grug:
No...
Phil:
Open up to me.
Grug:
No.
Phil:
Share with me.
Grug:
Uh-uh. I don't wanna. I'm hot.
Phil:
Tell me your problem.
Grug:
I don't have a problem. You have a problem.
Phil:
Tell me your problem. [echoing]
Grug:
Don't...
Phil:
Tell me...
Grug:
I don't...
Phil:
Tell me, tell me, tell me...
Grug:
[finally snaps] I DON'T LIKE IT HERE, ALRIGHT?! My pack's all split up, there's no one to sleep pile with, you won't let me eat bananas, Guy gave Eep a rock, he kissed my hand! They're planning on leaving the pack. And I don't like you at all!
Phil:
Hmm, not that's interesting.
Grug:
Yeah, maybe I just need to get to know you better.
Phil:
No, not that. The part about Eep and Guy.
Grug:
Oh. Guy's trying to take my daughter away.
Phil:
Father to father, I worry about my daughter, too. She was so lonely before Guy came back.
Grug:
Yeah. It's almost like Guy's the problem.
Phil:
Wait a minute. Are you saying what I think you're saying?
Grug:
Yes. No. I don't know.
Phil:
Are you suggesting we take Guy off your hands, so Dawn isn't lonely, so Eep stays with your and your pack?
Grug:
Uh, am I?
Phil:
Why, Grug, that's a truly great idea! You've done it! You've solved both our problems!
Grug:
No, really?
Phil:
So, we have a deal, bro?
Grug:
[shakes Phil's hand] Deal.
