Dawn of the Croods (2015) s04e07 Episode Script

1 [buzzing.]
Wha? [giggles.]
[adults screaming.]
[growls.]
[screeches.]
[growling, screeching.]
Big Chickuna and Tyrannaconda build nest together! Their love kill us all! Pull yourself together.
No, pull yourself together.
Valleyites, don't be afraid! - That voice.
- So commanding.
[screaming.]
I said, don't be afraid.
People, ignore the rampaging super predators.
We need to focus on what's inside their nest.
Wal and Mow, storm the nest.
Baitsy, Amber, use a curl and whirl to get the egg outta here.
Everyone else, you're expendables Er, diversions.
[chuckles.]
- Are you with me? - [screaming.]
Other way, other way.
[gasps.]
Amber, now! [stammers.]
[snarls.]
[screeches.]
[cheering.]
Everyone safe.
Uh, except Baitsy.
[Baitsy screaming.]
Everyone who matter safe! Nice work, Dad.
Though if I can backseat lead, I would've tried to find a way to eat that egg, too.
Well, honey, one day when you're ready, you'll see leading isn't as easy as it looks.
It's a lot of responsibility, and yelling.
A lot of yelling.
Good thing Grug good at yelling! Amber can hit Grug volume, but never Grug commanding gravitas.
Oh, please.
Grug's voice isn't so special.
I can be commanding, too.
Now, let's go celebrate! [sighs.]
Grug, if you will.
Let's go celebrate! - [cheering.]
- [Grug laughs.]
- [snoring.]
- [yawns.]
Good morning, family.
How do you want your eggs? Whole or broken? - Whole.
- Broken.
Lightly cracked, served on a warm slate with some fresh Whole for Gran.
Grug? [gargles.]
[spits.]
Oh, no.
My ears stopped working.
Oh, I can't hear anything Except my own voice, apparently.
No, Thunk.
Dad's mouth stopped working.
Either that or he finally decided to take my advice and shut up.
- Ha! - Mnh-mnh.
[gasps.]
You lost your voice.
You must be worried sick about where it might be.
Who needs a voice? Except this one guy I dated.
Smooth.
Oh, he had the slickest voice ever.
[in deep voice.]
Love.
And nothing else.
He needed his voice.
You got other talents Like your ability to scare kids with your ugly face.
Ha! You want me to tell Gran I can't call my mother that name.
But besides that, you feel your voice is what makes you a truly, truly great leader and oh, and that a leader without a voice is no leader at all.
[gasps.]
Dad's right.
Without his commanding voice, I'm already drift Ooh, shiny rock.
Ugh we need to find your voice fast, honey.
[Thunk.]
What, Dad? Tell everyone in the valley you lost your voice? On it.
No.
No, Thunk, he said, don't tell anyone he lost his voice.
You bet, Dad.
And if a leadering situation happens to come up while you're gone, I'll handle it.
Your father says you're not ready to lead, Eep.
"If you wanna really help, see what you can do about getting rid of Gran's voice.
" Grug! - [laughs.]
- [Gran mutters.]
Well, our valley is now leaderless.
Who wants to fight for dominance? [growls.]
I'm sure our valley will be fine without a leader for a while.
Amber need leader now.
Grug home? Amber secret meat stash about go bad, so want ask leader what do with it.
- No, no, no, no! - Don't bother Grug.
Give me the food instead.
[chuckles.]
No.
No, no, Dad is just, uh working on a secret leader project.
Yeah, let me just dash in and ask him what he thinks.
[Eep.]
What's that, Dad? You want Amber to give out the meat to the whole valley? Yeah, he said that Yeah, Amber hear.
Wear eye patch, not ear patch.
"Not ready to lead," huh? I handled that just as well as Dad would've.
Oh, we could've had the food ourselves.
What a waste of an abuse of power.
Well, Gran's yelling at me, so I must be acting like Dad.
Okay, this is the last place you remember having your voice.
And we already looked in the last place we'd expect.
No.
Thanks anyway.
Oh, let's do what we do when the kids are hiding something from us.
[loudly.]
Well, I guess your voice isn't here.
We better go.
A-ha! Ah, pigrats.
Well oh, maybe your voice is in one of its favorite spots.
Its favorite thing to yell at.
[yelling echoes.]
Hey, you seen his voice, you stupid moon? [sighs.]
Its favorite place to whisper.
[gasps.]
You hear a humming? Oh, let me shake it out into your mouth.
[gulps.]
[gags.]
[grunts.]
[buzzing fades.]
[voices overlapping.]
Thanks, leader.
- Food's my favorite thing to eat.
- I also thank you.
Ha-ha! Glad you're all so happy with my His flawless leadership.
Can you please scooch over so we can thank him ourselves? Don't make me fixate on this.
[laughs.]
[babbles.]
Sorry.
He doesn't wanna be bothered as he works on his secret project.
And an awesome surprise for everyone.
[all gasp.]
So we'll thank him for you.
Oh, how sweet of you.
But we still have other problems for him to solve.
Yeah.
My life is mostly problems.
Then no problem, because even though he needs to stay inside with no visitors or further questions, my dad can leader anything you need leadered.
Tell me your problem.
[garbled.]
That liyote stole my teeth.
Uh-huh.
Of course.
So then we should start hunting liyotes.
[whimpers.]
Hurray! Well, Meep's singing is making it impossible for me to babysit.
So those babies are fans of my dazzling voice.
Who can blame them? Don't you shame them Oh, what's that? Meep should never sing again? Well, if you say so.
[Marm chuckles.]
Bad news.
I just went to use the poop pit.
Yeah, it's completely full.
It's a mess.
[all gasp.]
Uh my dad says to dig a new one.
- [cheering.]
- Ooh, yeah! That's great.
Oh, unless I have to dig it.
- I'm still hungry.
- Amber could eat.
[gasps.]
What's that, Dad? You want me to end hunger forever by leading a special hunt for that giant egg? - Grug really say that? - Yeah, sure did.
So, ahem, let's go poach that egg! [cheering.]
I don't know, Eep.
Whenever we do stuff like this, we go a little too far, and something bad usually happens.
Thunk, everyone's happy and the problems are solved.
If I get to go hunt, too, well, what can I say? Leadering is just that easy.
Let's go poach that egg! I've got a "dad" feeling about this.
Which is to say, I don't think Dad would like this.
How do those moler bears make so much trash? [growling.]
Seriously, it's just one bone spout after another.
[grunts.]
The Broods.
Your voice's most growled-at enemies.
Let's approach this delicately.
[sighs.]
Hiya, Grug.
You must be here 'cause we Well, actually, we haven't schemed in quite a while.
Why are you here? [sighs.]
What my husband is asking is, "Did you steal my" I mean, his voice? You lost your voice? [laughs.]
Must be embarrassing, needing someone to translate for you.
[grunts.]
Dub says he agrees.
Come on.
We looked everywhere else.
You must've taken it.
Your family is the second-leading cause of all our problems, after, well us.
What? Why, that's just the most accurate statement possible.
You got us.
We did it.
[gasps.]
Just as a prank, though.
You can have it back.
Oopsie! Guess it fell down the bottomless hole.
[screaming.]
[Trixie.]
My bad.
"Cry, cry, cry.
" Oh, I guess you don't need me to translate that.
Come on, let's go.
[laughing.]
I can't believe he fell for that.
Are things finally looking up for the Broods? [shrieking.]
Never mind.
Our lives are still terrible.
My fans will not be denied, Grug.
Grug? Don't hide from my voice.
- She will find you - Whoa! Grug's working on a project, is he? Yep.
He was trying to turn himself invisible.
Guess he succeeded.
- "Sure did, son.
" - Uh-huh.
So your father is missing, and your sister is lying? Uh no.
You know you're nodding yes, right? No? Hmm.
[chuckles.]
Amber excited to eat.
Uh Tyrannacuna egg? Nah, that sound made up.
Amber excited eat chickonda egg! Yeah.
That was so cool, hunting with a real bonking rock.
Not that lame learner's rock my dad makes me use.
[laughing.]
[grunts.]
Amber thought it Grug who told Amber give Eep real rock.
Right.
Yeah.
That was my dad's order.
Yeah.
Dinner! Courtesy of me.
Your leader er's daughter.
- It's a burden being such a beauty - [all groaning.]
And sharing this voice Is an exhausting duty But such is the curse of being pretty Talented and built like a tree You're all welcome For the gift of Meep Hey, hey, you're still banned from singing.
Isn't that right, Dad? No, Grug lifted the ban.
Isn't that right, Grug? What? You want me to finish my song, "Meep, Myself and I"? [all gasp.]
Well, if you insist That doesn't sound like my dad.
Oh, it's your dad.
Unless we both misheard him, hmm? Hmm? Don't make me "hmm" a third time.
[sighs.]
Right, Dad.
Meep's terrible singing will keep away the super predators.
[murmuring.]
Me, me, me, me Me, me, me, me, Meep Me, me, me, me Me, me, me, me, Meep How dare Grug use your voice as beast repellent? I should give him a savage yet civilized talking-to.
Trust me.
Grug is not a problem.
Did you get rid of him? As in, permanently? I know we joked about it, dear, but that's really dark.
[whispers.]
You're right.
I am looking thin, Grug.
I should eat more.
Anything I want? From anyone? Well, if you insist.
Agh! [sobs.]
Ugh! [whispers.]
I have some information - Wait, wait, wait.
- [chuckles.]
Are you sure you want Eep to raise Cliff for me? Well, he's the joy of my life, but you know best.
[laughing.]
I'm calling it, today at [buzzing.]
the moment this bug landed on my wrist.
Eep has gone a step too far.
No, I got this under control.
[whispering.]
Maybe they're whispering about something else.
Eep, you can stop all this.
Just tell the truth.
But I'm doing an awesome job as leader.
It's worth it.
[gulps.]
[muffled.]
Still worth it.
[sighs.]
Oh, Grug.
Voice or no voice, leader or not, you will always be you.
And, hey, maybe I could talk for both of us.
"Ugga, sweetie, that was a truly, truly great idea.
Some would say the best idea.
" "Oh, thanks, Grug.
You wanna head home?" "No, I wanna hunt down a fancy-schmancy chinchillynx pelt for my beautiful wife.
" "You sure?" "I never doubt anything.
I'm Grug.
" Am I off with your voice? Well, maybe we can find someone else to be your new voice.
[gasps.]
I got it.
I know just the voice.
I can fly now? Thanks, leader guy.
[laughs.]
Why? [moans.]
What, Dad? Everyone should stop what they're doing or you're gonna [gasps.]
scrap the secret project, which has gotten even cooler than when I first mentioned it? [murmuring.]
[sighs.]
I know, Dad.
I can't believe they won't listen to me either.
Aw-ww Fine.
I guess leadering is hard.
At least your mess didn't end with an awful beast trying to eat us.
That's something to be proud of, right? [yelps.]
[crackling.]
- Never mind.
- [gasps.]
Stay in the egg like a good dinner.
[squawks.]
Shush, shush.
It's okay, little dinner.
Wouldn't want you to attract your parents.
Guys, could you help me carry this thing outta here? What's that, Grug? You and Eep got this and don't need our help? Okay.
Thanks for taking one for team, Grug.
Oh, give it up! We all know what's really going on! My dad isn't in the cave.
I made it all up.
[all gasp.]
Oh, Amber shocked.
"Shocked," Amber say.
Ugh.
Which means all of you made it up, too.
Come on! Everyone was in on it! - [all groan.]
- What's that, Grug? Your daughter's gone crazy and we should ignore her? Okay, fine.
I'll stop.
[squawks.]
All right, now let's get it out of the valley before it alerts its [screeching.]
[yelling.]
What's that, Dad? I can wet my pelts in fear now? Here he is, Gran's ex, the one with the amazing voice.
[deep voice.]
Name's Luscious Soogar Icington the Third.
But most people just call me "Smooth.
" He says, "The sweetest sounds he's ever heard are the laughter of our children," and my voice when I say I love him, until now.
My voice tends to have that effect on people.
That's why I left Ahhh! Valley.
Everyone was always asking me to announce things or leave voice messages in their ears.
Hello.
This is Smooth talking.
Ogg would like me to tell you he cannot attend your hunting party due to his sudden lack of feet.
I know that news was terrible, but I wanna hear it again and again.
It's just, that voice, ah-hh [sighs.]
Oy.
[moans.]
We didn't come here to console you.
We came here to see if you could fill in as Grug's new voice.
He's the leader of the valley.
Very respected.
Eh? No can do.
He says he'll pay you in the form of more hugs.
What if we give you food? Food's not a problem for old Smooth.
I'm hungry.
[moans.]
Besides, a caveman doesn't need a good voice, even if he is leader.
What a caveman needs is a good heart.
Oh, he's right.
A good voice isn't as important as a good heart.
So maybe you don't need a voice at all.
Wow, sounds so obvious when I say it.
I never said a good voice didn't come with perks.
[growling.]
Okay, don't panic.
Now put the baby down! And back away quietly.
[squawks.]
Don't worry, guys.
We'll be fine.
Okay? They just want their baby back.
[purring.]
[all sigh.]
[squawks.]
Or they're gonna make us baby food.
So what do we do now, new leader? Uh, panic and maybe scream.
[all scream.]
Well, if I'm going down, I'm going down singing.
Hush, little Snooty, don't you cry Meep's gonna sing to you while we die [wails.]
If you gotta feed your ugly baby, leave them and just take me.
[all gasp.]
First good decision she's made as leader.
Hmm.
[Eep screaming.]
[Ugga.]
Eep! She tried to be leader, didn't she? [grunts.]
Dad, you saved me! [screeching.]
Temporarily.
[all whimpering.]
[hissing.]
[screeching.]
[snarling.]
[snarls.]
[gasps.]
[screeches.]
[group cheering.]
Dad, wow! You just saved the whole valley without using your voice.
Great leadering, Grug.
That was as amazing as my singing Amber impressed, even if Grug eyes now disturbing to look at.
[all cheering.]
[sighs.]
I'm sorry I pretended to be leader and almost got everyone eaten.
[Ugga.]
"It's okay, Eep.
Today I learned that I love you no matter what.
" Wrong lesson? Um "Being a leader is a lot harder than it looks, but it is a job worth doing"? "Always listen to your father"? "Being a good leader comes from within"? Come on, Grug! One of these has to be Eep's lesson! [gasping.]
Ugga, wait.
Hey, my Ahem my voice, it it came back.
Oh, hey, missed you, voicey.
"Missed you, too, Grug.
" [laughs.]
Oh, let me hug you, buddy.
[Smooth.]
There.
A happy ending, which doesn't sound trite or convenient coming from old Smooth.
Still hungry.
[clucking.]
[munching.]
