[grunts in effort]
-[scream] -[growls]
PHIL: Today is a golden opportunity
to explore the world beyond the wall.
-Not because we want you to leave the farm,
but because youwant to.
-This is our gift to you.
Questions?
-Good. Have fun.
They're gone!
And they bought it!
-Peace and quiet at last!
-UGGA: We can hear you! -[Phil gasps]
* Let's live wild, the world's our own *
* We built this wheel now it's gunna roll *
* You know a spark becomes a fire wherever we go *
* Whoa-ho-ho *
* Stuck together, stuck, stuck together *
* It's an evolution for worse or for better *
* To find some unity *
* For all humanity *
* Because we're stuck together *
* In one big family tree *
-Phil and Hope are the worst. Especially Phil.
-Yeah. If we weren't planning to hike anyway,
I'd let them have it.
-[growling] -Ha.
We just ate lunch. Are you hungry already?
-Yes, but that wasn't my stomach.
That was alligoaters!
[Grug screams]
[battle cry]
[grunting]
[yells]
[grunts]
-Nice day for a hike.
-It would be without all the alligoaters
and bearacudas and tigerangutans.
I have beast burnout. Let's head home.
-Yeah, it's time for second lunch.
[chomping noisily]
-Are we sure your jungle picnic is a good idea?
GUY: Of course.
It's the perfect mix of sun,
scenery and...
[growling]
...scorpulion.
[roaring]
[all scream]
[battle cry]
[yells]
-Nice day for a picnic.
-Back at the farm? Good call.
-Yeah, let's eat and run.
-[Thunk whimpering] -[gasps]
GRAN: Lot of animals on the prowl down there, Sandy.
But no one's gonna bug us up here.
[screams]
[growls]
Except those no-good crowverines!
[lightning cracks]
And those eelgles.
[screaming]
**
-Huh? -Nice day for a feather glide!
**
[laughter]
**
-Why are all of you back so soon?
-Yes. Why are you inside when you should be outside?
As in outside the wall, far away from here?
-Animals are everywhere today, and they're hungry...
[grunts] ...for us.
-Oh? What if those poor creatures are hungry
for companionship and good conversation instead?
Only one way to find out.
-Sorry, Dad, but we're better off staying here.
Couches don't attack.
-So you're never going to leave the farm
just because every time you do, an animal tries to eat you?
What kind of attitude is that?
-Hey, I love a good animal attack,
and I had a blast today.
But there's a difference between
handling trouble and looking for it.
So here we are.
-Yeah, home squeeze home.
-Guy, quit taking up so much room!
-Yeah, G-man, you're like a sit-opotamus.
-Sorry. My bad.
-You can't just stay inside forever.
-Challenge accepted.
-So that's it?
In the face of adversity,
your response is unconditional surrender?
You're just giving up?
-I gave up a long time ago,
so I'm not giving up on giving up.
-We're not giving up.
We're giving ourselves some room to breathe.
GRAN: Wrong!
[grunts] All we have to do is win Alphabout.
Any questions?
-Innumerable. But let's begin with--
-What is Alphabout? I'm glad you asked.
-I didn't ask yet.
GRAN: Alphabout is a ruthless tournament
of bare-paws-and-claws brawls
to determine the alpha,
the beast boss of the animal kingdom.
-It's the best of the beasts!
Winner gets the crown, losers go down!
-Do you wanna explain this?
-Sure, I'd love--[grunts] -Too bad!
This is a one-Gran show!
It all happens inside the Alpharena,
a battle pit in a volcano.
Winner gets the crown,
losers go down!
GRUG: Hey, I said that!
-Sounds terrifying and filthy.
But why have I never heard of it?
-[grunts] Because it's an animal thing.
No human has ever won.
-And why is that?
-Because no human has ever entered.
-And why is that?
-Because no human ever had what it takes.
-Until now.
-Look, I'm flattered, but--
-I'm not talking about you, meat neck. I'm talking about--
-Me? Look, I'm flattered, but--
-It's a fight, not a no-shirt contest, bare-back.
GUY: Hmm.
-So, me then?
-Getting warmer, but no.
-Me?
[coughs]
[laughs] Just kidding.
And... couch.
-So you're...
[grunts] ...talking about Sandy?
-Someday, absolutely. But not today.
'Cause I'm talking about Eep.
She has what it takes to win Alphabout.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Me?
-Yeah, 'cause you're the best.
And no one messes with the alpha.
Which means if you win, no more animal attacks.
We can leave this dump whenever we want
without a bunch of predators trying to make us their prey.
-That would be a game changer.
DAWN: Yeah.
We could have picnics and
not worry about becoming the food.
-We could do whatever we wanted.
[grunts] Nothing could stop us.
Ah! One more time, Sandy.
-You really think I have what it takes to win Alphabout?
-No. -Oh. Well, why did you say I did then?
-Because you will, after I'm done training you.
Let's get to work.
-Huh? Now?
GRAN: Yes, now!
-You've fought animals,
but Alphabout is a different beast altogether,
so you'll need different skills to survive, let alone win.
If you wanna beat an animal,
you have to think like an animal.
When pigators want something, they go get it.
And nothing stands in their way.
-Got it. -Not yet you don't.
-How's the training going?
Ooh! Strawpeary!
[chuckles]
[Eep grunts]
[chuckles]
-Now you got it, because you got it.
High-five.
-Hey, are you gonna eat that strawpeary?
-[body thuds] -[Grug groans]
-Clean hit.
Another thing about animals?
They never quit.
Even when they should.
[growls]
-Yeah. Beemus are no joke,
but the honey is worth the stings.
-Training hard or hardly training, am I right?
Ooh! Beemu honey!
[grunting]
**
-[body thuds] -[Eep groans]
[grunting]
[pants, yells]
[groans]
[Eep grunting]
-Yah!
[sighs]
-[Eep yells] -[Grug groans]
Yes! I didn't quit.
But I should have.
-[yells] -[groans]
-[grunts] Oh, no. It's stuck!
[Grug screaming]
-Good job. You got the hive.
-Yeah! Hive-five.
-Huh? -[Gran grumbles]
Okay, why do I have cucumbeet slices on my eyes?
-You lean on your eyes too much.
You gotta learn to use your other senses to fight.
Like an animal.
Starting now!
[groans] -I wasn't ready.
-Animals are always ready.
-Ow! [pants, groans]
This isn't fair.
-Animals aren't fair!
-[Gran grunts] -[groans, grunts]
-Okay, that's it.
[gasps]
[exhales]
**
[in slow-motion] Uh-huh.
[both grunting]
**
How was that?
-Good enough to win Alphabout.
-Yeah! [laughs]
Thanks for coming, you guys.
-Are you kidding?
I wouldn't miss this for anything.
But I'm so nervous. I don't think I can watch.
So, mixed feelings, a lot going on in my head,
but I'm with you!
-There's nothing going on in my head.
I can't wait to watch my daughter
jump into the meat grinder with the toughest beats alive!
-Uh-- -What your father means is
we believe in you, Eep.
-Right. What did I say?
-I'm behind you all the way, Eepykins.
Oh.
Well, now I am.
-Sorry my parents didn't come.
They were pretty excited about
having the farm to themselves.
I wonder if they know Thunk and Sandy stayed behind, too.
-Oh, I think they'll figure that out soon enough.
-Once again, we have the farm to ourselves, my dear.
Free from the chaos, the cacophony,
the sheer, unbridled pandemonium of--
-Just stop talking and kiss me before you ruin it.
BOTH: Mm--
[muffled groaning]
-Hi. Sandy caught a lobstingray
and we thought you guys might want it
but now I'm not so sure.
[groaning continues]
**
-Welcome to the Alpharena,
home of Alphabout.
ALL: Whoa!
-Enough whoa-ing.
Let's get in there
before the good seats are taken.
EEP: Uh, you know,
maybe never leaving the farm again
wouldn't be that bad.
-You're right. Maybe you should quit.
-Really? -GRAN: No!
That was a test, and you failed!
Remember, you never quit.
-Yeah. I was just joking.
-Ha! Good one, Eepyhead.
-Besides, you've got nothing to worry about.
As long as you're holding this feather, you can't lose.
-[gasps] Really? -No!
How's a feather gonna help you beat
the best animal warriors alive?
It isn't!
-I know you'll win.
But no pressure.
I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
-She loses, animals see it as a sign of weakness.
So they invade the farm and drive us off the edge
of this flat rock we call Earth.
-Mom. -What? She said worst!
Now, let's go before we have to sit behind a scorpulion.
[eelgle call]
[screeching]
[growling]
[snarling]
-Whoo! Humans!
-Grug, pace yourself. -No need.
Nothing can stop me from being Eep's biggest fan.
Woo-hoo-hoo!
Wait. Do I smell nachos?
-[Grug yells in excitement] -Nothing except nachos.
-He never had a chance.
-So how does this all work?
-It's simple. Just like animals.
Two fighters square off on that rock.
[growling]
First one off the rock loses.
The loser is out.
The winner moves on to the next round of fights.
That goes on until two fighters are left.
And the winner of that fight is the alpha.
DAWN: There's so many different animals here
and they're all getting along.
-Thanks to the Alphabout truce.
Animal fights are forbidden at Alphabout.
-Except for the official animal fights.
-So who's the alpha now? A ramaconda?
-No, a camelmeleon who's never lost a brawl.
She's won Alphabout five times in a row.
Her name is Cleomeleon.
She's down there mixing it up now.
EEP: I don't see her.
GRAN: No one does.
-Until it's too late. -[crows in fear]
**
-I'm sorry, was that a tongue punch?
-And she can turn invisible?
-What?
-Exactly.
But you gotta walk before you run, Eep.
So focus on your first fight first, 'cause you're up next.
-Oh. Right.
**
[dings]
[belching]
-Pardon me. Future alpha dad comin' through.
-Did I miss it? -Almost.
Because you were looking for nachos.
-[yelling] Make that raccobra a rac-no-bra, Eep!
**
-Hi. How's it going?
[snarls]
This is my first Alphabout,
so do you go first or do I? Yah! [screaming]
**
[Gran grunts in disappointment]
-Why is she running from a raccobra?
-[yelling] I said rac-no-bra, not rac-go-bra!
-I can't watch. Stop watching, eyes!
-Eep, think like a pigator!
-[snarls] -Think like a pigator.
Pigators go get it.
So I need to go get it!
[grunting]
You want some Eep?
You got some!
[battle cry]
[pants]
[body thuds]
Hey! It worked! Awesome.
[dings]
[screeches]
[cheering]
-That's more like it.
-She won! She won!
-Aw. -Eep won! And I saw it!
Good work, eyes. Eye-five.
* *
[growls]
-GRAN: Eep! -EEP: Huh?
-Think like a Chunky!
-Never quit.
[growls]
[grunting]
* *
Hmm.
Ha.
[body thuds]
Yeah! [laughs, cheers]
Boo-yah!
[dings]
[all cheering]
[screeches]
* *
[dings]
[grunting]
[snarls, roars]
-GRAN: Eep! -EEP: Huh?
-Think like a no-good crowverine!
EEP: Hmm.
[yells, grunts]
[snarls]
[Eep grunts]
[growls]
Oh. [Eep grunts]
-[body thuds] -[laughing]
[dings]
[cheering]
-[snarls] -[all gasp]
-Good match. Bo--Both sides.
-Yup. Eep got lucky. Could've gone either way.
[growling]
* *
[dings]
* *
[Eep grunting sharply]
[groans]
-Think like me!
[caws]
-Hyah!
-[winces] -[yells]
[dings]
-That's my girl!
Woo-hoo!
[cheers]
GRUG: Nachos!
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!
[grunts]
[battle cry]
* *
[bell dings]
-I didn't think I could do this,
but then I totally did this.
-I knew you'd win, Eep.
All that crying and screaming you may have heard was an eelgle.
A very upset and handsome eelgle. Yep.
-[echoing] As nervous as I was, now I'm twice as pumped.
'Cause Eep is unstoppable!
Whoo!
-Ease up on the celebrating. It's not over.
The worst is yet to come.
EEP: So I gotta beat a scorpulion
and then either a ramaconda
or the undefeated alpha who's invisible?
-Yep. -Huh.
Well, it was a good run. Let's head home.
-Not yet.
Because you're more animal than any of 'em.
And what is it that animals never do?
-Uh... quit?
-Now you're talking animal words.
-But animals don't talk.
And I'll be quiet now.
-Hey, Dad, did you see the bearacuda
that looks exactly like you?
Wait, where is Dad?
-Nacho run. Again.
But he's as proud of you as I am.
And he loves you.
-As much as nachos?
[sighs deeply]
-I wanna say yes, but--
* *
PHIL: Thunk and Sandy will never
find us here, my dear.
So banish them from your mind.
-I will, as soon as you stop talking about them.
-Right. Let's not talk.
Let's simply listen to the soothing rush of the waterfall,
our two hearts beating as one and--
[Thunk screaming]
-Thunk screaming?
[screaming continues]
-I thought rolling would be so much easier than walking.
I've never been more wrong!
[Sandy grunts]
[Thunk screaming]
* *
[groans]
Ooh. Are those banana chips?
Sandy, they've got banana chips.
-[Sandy chuckling] -[Phil and Hope screaming]
[growls]
* *
[clicking]
[body thuds]
[dings]
[chatters]
-No surprise there.
-I was actually pulling for the ramaconda.
-Me, too.
But you've got a scorpulion
on your plate first.
[gasps]
[yells]
-Ha, ha!
I expected more from you, Scorpulion.
Yow!
Yep, like that.
-Why did we let her do this?
-Mom, why did you let us let her do this?
-Keep your pelts on.
Eep knows what to do. I think.
BOTH: You think?
[Eep panting]
[grunting]
* *
[growls]
[roars]
* *
[grunting]
[yells in slow-motion]
* *
-My turn.
[pants]
[yells] Yah!
* *
[body thuds]
Yeah! [laughs]
[all growling and snarling]
Oh, are you not Eep-ertained?
[dings]
-[cheering] -Yeah! Woo-hoo!
-Yes!
Oh! Again?
Why do these nachos keep doing that?
[animals growling]
-Awful lot of stink eye around here.
Any of you wanna back it up,
I'll be stretching my legs outside.
Where there's no truce.
-Hey, Gran, could you grab me some nachos while you're up?
* *
GRAN: Not bad, Malachi and friends.
But you should've brought more animals.
Your mistake.
Let's do this.
[grunting]
You wanna talk instead of fight?
Well, that's a new one.
Okay, let's hear it then, Your Majesty.
* *
Hmm.
[cawing]
* *
Ooh.
* *
And all you animals feel this way?
[all grunt in affirmation]
Well, what do you know.
You animals are full of surprises.
Speaking of surprises--Gah!
[all gasp]
Ha! Gotcha.
Hey, this is fun. We should do this more often.
[laughter]
* *
You ready to win?
-I beat every animal I faced today.
I did things I didn't think I could do.
So for the first time, yes, I'm ready to win.
Thanks to you.
-Great. Now I need you to lose.
-What? -Yeah, what?
-I just had an interesting chat
with some of the animal leaders outside.
They all agree.
If you win, the animal kingdom will turn on itself.
The natural animal order will break down.
Beast peace will cease.
It's already starting.
-[screeching] -[snarling]
[growling]
Turns out Cleomeleon isn't just a great fighter.
She's a great leader. Animals follow her.
But they won't follow you because humans aren't animals.
Not to them.
So for the good of all living creatures,
you need to quit.
-Whoa. I didn't think of that.
I definitely don't want the animal kingdom
or the world to fall apart.
So I guess I'll just--
[laughing]
Wow. Oh, you almost got me, Gran.
I was this close to quitting.
But this is another test.
Animals don't quit, which means I can't quit.
You taught me that.
So now I'm gonna go win Alphabout.
-No! Don't listen to then me!
Listen to now me!
-That's a little confusing, Mom.
-Yeah. Gran, you're a real mixed message mama.
[Gran grunts in anger]
And I'll just stop talking again.
[bell dings]
-[bell dings] -[screeching]
* *
-Thanks for being visible, Cleomeleon.
That's a fair fight.
And a fair fight is the only way to--
Yep, saw that coming.
[groans]
[all gasp]
[groaning]
[panting]
[footsteps approaching]
* *
[snickers]
Not bad.
But I don't need to see you to beat you.
* *
[grunts]
Yah-ha!
Hyah! [grunting, yelling]
There can only be one alpha.
[grunts]
Huh?
[snarling]
-[growls] -[roars]
* *
[pants]
[grunts]
[groans, screams]
* *
ALL: [in slow-motion] Oh, no!
[screams, grunts]
* *
[grunts]
-And once again, the alpha is Cleomeleon!
* *
[cheering]
[all sigh in relief]
-Well, this is a disaster.
They're out of nachos!
-You almost won it all, Eep.
But losing saved the world.
And that's even better!
So Eep rules! Whoo!
-[growling] -[all gasp]
Of course, winning would've stopped
those animals from attacking us,
so, mixed feelings again.
-Win or lose, I am always behind you, Eep.
Starting now.
-Weird how you were about to win
the last fight and then you didn't.
-Yeah. Fights are weird like that.
-It was almost as if you realized
it was best if Cleomeleon won
'cause sometimes you gotta lose to win.
-Yeah, almost.
[growling]
-We've got company.
With tails.
Except the ones without tails.
-Guess these animals are still itching for a fight.
Let's give 'em a scratch.
-Wouldn't lotion work better?
[growling and screeching]
* *
[chatters]
GRAN: Well, that's new.
High-fives are a human thing,
but looks like the animals came to high-five you.
Out of respect, all of them.
That's quite a compliment.
EEP: Yeah! [grunts]
[Eep laughs]
[all cheer]
Yeah!
[Eep laughing]
Sometimes you gotta lose to win.
-Exactly.
Now, let's go before--
-[grunts] -[snarls]
Malachi!
-[Gran yelling] -[fists thumping]
[sighs deeply]
PHIL: It wasn't easy.
But we finally found sanctuary.
And I could lie in it with you until the end of time.
-Me, too.
Because I'm scared they'll wake up if I move.
