-[screams, grunts] -[snarling]
[all cheering, laughing]
-[gasps] Bullrus tusks?
This is gonna be fun!
-Why? What's so fun about those?
-Guess you've never played Bullrus Blast.
-I have so many questions. First question, how do you play?
-Easy! Like this!
-[loud blasting] -[all screaming]
-Bullrus Blast! -I don't know why I like this, but I do.
It is on!

* 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 *
-[blasting tusk] -[laughter]
-[growls] I have to get away from that noise
or I'm gonna lose it.
-W-what if we move into a volcano?
Lava living! Who's with me, huh?
-Nobody. Because lava.
-[blasting tusk] -[yelling]
-You can hear those things everywhere!
-There has to be somewhere we can hide. -[blasting tusk]
-There is a place. A hidden place,
free from the distractions and perturbances of daily life.
I can take you there,
but you must do exactly as I say.
[blasting stops]
-Run! -[all panting]
* *
-Where are they going?
-[sighs] It worked, Phil. I can't hear a thing.
-Eh, it's no volcano. -[steam hissing]
-I can hear steam. -[breathing heavily]
And heavy breathing.
[heavy breathing]
Oh, wait, that's me.
-So, you're finally sharing the Man Cave with us.
How generous.
-Desperate times, desperate measures.
Besides, who would I be if I withheld sanctuary
from fellow parents in need?
-Uh, you'd be Phil Betterman. You know who you are, right, Phil?
-I understand why you didn't share this place, Phil.
You work much harder around here than I do.
-Well, I wouldn't say that.
-And Grug does so much
more than you do, right, Ugga?
-Oh, my plate is pretty full.
-I'm just so glad you two had a place to unwind
while we were... Wait, um, what were we doing, Hope?
-Everything. -Oh, that's right.
-Everything. -Wait.
* *
-Is this a trap?
[Phil laughing nervously]
-Uh, what matters is we're all here now,
ears free of the tusk cacophony generated by our offspring.
In fact, brainstorm!
I say we rename this the Parent Cave.
What do you say?
-It's a start.
-Yes! We won!
[heavy breathing] Wait.
W-we're still in the trap, aren't we?
-[blasting tusk] -[laughter]
-You know, I haven't seen our parents in a while.
It's like they're hiding from us.
-Impossible. Our parents love us!
They can't get enough of us.
-And if we can't find 'em, who's gonna make us lunch?!
-Maybe if we blow even louder, they'll come to us!
-Everyone loves loud noises. -Do they? Oh!
[blasting tusks]
[Gran growling]
[grunting, yelling]
-You're not a wounded moomoth!
Just a bunch of kids making noise!
-You're welcome. -Have you seen the adults, Gran?
Not that you're not an adult
because you are. A wise, experienced old...
And by old, I mean seasoned,
mature, ripened. Just like a banana.
-That's starting to turn. -Guy.
-[nervous laugh] So, have you seen them?
-They're in the Man Cave!
Probably hiding from all that noise you're making!
Must be nice to have a cave of your own.
Now, pipe down, so I can find
a real wounded animal! [grunts]
-They're all in the Man Cave? We should go in there.
-Yeah! If they can be in there, so can we.
-Actually, I've been in there, and you're not missing...
-To the Man Cave! -[blasting tusks]
-...anything. -[steam hissing]
-I didn't know there were so many ways to say...
-...ah. -It needs decorations
and furniture and fans and food and scrubbing.
Lots of scrubbing. Other than that,
[sighs] it's perfect.
-I'm just glad I had someone to talk to in there besides Phil.
-Enjoying the Man Cave? -[Belt and Sash chattering]
-Uh-uh-uh. It's the Parent Cave now.
And, yes, we were enjoying it.
-Great. We'll take some of that action. -Yeah. [laughs]
I bet our tusks will sound amazing in there!
[blasting tusk]
-What's the couch situation? Know what? I'll just see for myself.
PHIL: Apologies, but I'm afraid this cave
-is not for you. -Why not?
-Because you're children,
and thisis the Parent Cave.
-I thought it was the Man Cave.
-Parent Cave. Not Man Cave.
Definitely not Man Cave.
-You see, we parents need the occasional refuge
from the rigors of child-rearing to enjoy a moment's peace.
-And we need a cave without kids.
-That's what I just said.
-[laughs] Not even close.
-But you're not in there now.
Can't we go in when you're not using it?
-Oh, no. You kids are too wild and noisy. You'd ruin the place.
-How do you ruin a cave? -Unless it's not just a cave,
and they're hiding something from us.
-As the only kid who's been in the cave,
I can tell you they're not.
-Guy's right. Admittedly a rarity.
Besides, why would you need to go into our cave?
You already have the entire run of the farm.
-But we want a cave. Don't you like us anymore?
-We loveyou. And sometimes,
we express that love by taking a break from you.
-We should let 'em in. If we don't, they'll just sneak in.
-Not if we're still in there. -Oh, good idea, Phil.
I could use some more chill time.
-So, we seriously can't come in? Not even for a peek?
-Sure, you can.
As soon as you grow up and become parents!
[weak blasting]
* *
-Ugh!
I've never wanted to be in a cave so badly!
-I thought you hated caves.
-My relationship with caves is complicated.
-[growls] -I feel the same way, Sandy.
I didn't wanna go in,
-but then they said I couldn't go in. -[growls]
-So now, I have to go in. -[thud]
[goat-like scream]
-Thunk's right. We gotta find out what they're hiding from us.
-You mean nothing? Because they're not hiding anything.
-I'll bet it's something cool.
-Something they wanna keep all to themselves.
Like a killer battle training cage.
DAWN: Or an indoor rollerlog park!
[Sandy gnawing]
THUNK: Or human bowling!
But with the papaynapples for pins. Pa-pin-apples!
[laughs] Ah, pa-pin-apples. Good one, me.
-We're missing out on something amazing.
We gotta get into that cave.
-For the last time, you're not missing anything.
It's just a bunch of rocks and steam and other rocks!
-But, what's behind those other rocks?
Maybe you only saw what they let you see.
-Yeah. Don't you want to know the wholecave truth, G-man?
-Well, it was pretty steamy in there.
Maybe I didn't see everything.
[gasps] You're right. We got to get into that cave!
-[cheering, yelling] -[creature screeches]
EEP: They've gotta come out at some point.
-Yeah. How much steam can they take?
-Even I have limits when it comes to steam.
Or is that snake bites?
-[steam hissing] -[parents laughing]
-Apparently, they have limits, too. There they go.
-Cave on. -[all yelling]
-[slow motion yelling] -[triumphant music]
[creaking]
[all scream]
[all grunt]
-[goat-like scream] -[all scream]
-Just a reminder. The Parent Cave is for parents.
No kids allowed.
That's why I installed a kid-proof security system.
-Uh, Phil? Are you gonna let us...
-[all scream, grunt] -[thud]
...down?
we're going to tunnel under it.
Eep and Dawn, you'll start digging here.
Thunk and Sandy, you'll plant coco-booms here and here.
-Coco-booms? Aren't those dangerous?
-Incredibly. Now, in phase two--
-I have a better idea. -But, I'm not done.
-I know, Guy-baby, but what if
instead of breaking into the Parent Cave,
we just make our own cave?
-Out of cheese? -Yes!
-No! I mean we find a cave
and turn it into a Kid Cave.
-Kid Cave? Now, that's a plan. Let's do it!
Kid Cave!
UGGA/DAWN/THUNK: Kid Cave! Kid Cave! Kid Cave!
-So, nobody wants to hear the rest of my plan?
-I do, G-man. Wait.
Do you think the Kid Cave will have snacks?
-Sure. It can have whatever we want it to have.
-Because it's our... cave. -Woo! [laughing]
* *
-I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's too quiet.
-Yeah. I actually miss all the screaming
and crashing and banging and screeching and yelling.
-I even miss those awful tusks.
-Me, too! -So, what are we doing in here?
-Leaving.
[Grug and Phil grumbling]
-What's wrong? Did the kids try to beat your security system again?
-No, they didn't try.
-It's not like the kids to give up so easily.
-So, they must be up to something.
Let's go find out what it is.
-And leave the cave unattended? As soon as we leave,
the kids will storm the cave and sully it beyond salvage!
-I thought your security system was kid-proof.
-It is, but it--Ugh!
Well played, Ugga.
You employed the only weapon
against which I am helpless. Myself.
Huh. [panting]
-Oh! Oh! Steady! Looking good.
Alright, l-let's see some more effort there, Guy.
Hey. Hey. Hey. Watch the bounce.
-Thunk, it's a trampoline. That's what it does.
-It's not just a trampoline, Guy. Now, it's a cavetrampoline.
-A cave trampoline?
-Oh, why didn't we think of that?
-Because it's a terrible idea.
-Not if you like bumping your head.
-Or cracking it wide open.
What the howl is going on here?
Are you kids trying to get hurt?
-No, Mom. We made our own cave.
-A Kid Cave. -Full of fun stuff we like!
-I like fun stuff!
-Hold on. Are you a kid, Dad?
-No, I'm a dad, kid.
-Well, this is a Kid Cave.
That means kids only.
-No parents allowed!
-Sorry, Grug. Kid Cave rules. -[Sandy snarls]
-Don't listen to them! You can come in.
-Oh, really? -Sure!
As soon as you grow up and become kids.
Ha! Another good one, me!
-Tell you what. We'll let you into the Kid Cave
if you let us into the Parent Cave.
-Cave conditions? We don't negotiate with children!
-Okay. Fine by us. -Then, to each their own cave.
* *
[laughter, cheering]
-I guess that settles that. -No, it doesn't!
Now, I really want to go in their cave.
What if it's better than our cave?
-What if that cave isn't safe? It could be a death trap.
-You just want to see what's in their cave, too.
-I do. I really, really do. Ah!
-And you shall, my dear. You shall.
Because I've got a plan. We'll infiltrate the cave
in the dead of night, while the children slumber.
-Or we could just share our cave because we started this.
-And we're going to finish it!
[maniacal laughter]
-Oh, yeah. This should end well.
[maniacal laughter]
-Wait, why are we laughing?
* *
[loud crunch, chewing]
-Grug, what are you eating?
-Sneak snack. -It's not very sneaky.
-Your infernal crunching is going to wake up the kids.
-I know, but once I start crunching, I can't stop.
-[scoffs] Can we just get this over with?
[stomach growls]
-But now my stomach isn't sneaky.
-Must not be much of a cave.
Their security system was non-existent.
-Ow! Grug! You just stepped on my foot!
-Ah, sorry, I can't see anything.
-Of course, you can't see anything. It's a cave.
-Let me shed some light on the subject.
[all gasp] Stars above!
This cave is glorious!
I've never seen such a sight. The detail, the craftsmanship.
Such a tragedy to waste it on the young.
-No way! A bounceberry pit!
[bounce] [grunts] Wheee!
[bounce] [grunts] Yes!
-[bounce] -Woo! [grunts]
-It's like sitting on a cloud...
made of beans...
[punching] [grunting]
-Battle cage?!
Now, thisis awesome! [grunts]
-Hm? So, Guy has invented a meat-cooking device
that harnesses the power of spin? Ingenious!
Uh, I... suppose it has merit.
-For the work of a novice. Ah! -[gasps] Meat spikes!
[screaming]
[grunting, groans]
-Ow... -Yes! I love this cave!
-[bounce] -Wheee! [grunts]
[creature crowing]
[snoring]
[yawning]
-Is it morning alr--
Oh no! We have to clean this up
before the kids find out!
-KIDS: Kid Cave! Kid Cave! Kid Cave... -[gasps] They're coming!
-Ah! They cannot know we destroyed their cave!
-Why? Because we told them they'd wreck ours,
only to prove we're less responsible than they are?
-Yes! Precisely! -[kids continue chanting]
-Save as many meat spikes as you can!
Yah! Hot meat!
[pained grunting]
-[whoosh] -[gasps]
-ALL: Kid Cave! Kid Cave! -Hey.
What are you guys doing here?
-We were just discussing how impressed we are
that you made your own Kid Cave.
-That we definitely did notgo into.
[Ugga sighs]
-And we've reconsidered.
We're going to grant you access to the Parent Cave.
-Really? -Yes. Really?
-KIDS: Nah. -We've got our own cool cave now,
so we don't need yours.
-But, it couldn't possibly be as amazing
as what we have in the Parent Cave.
-Ha! Sure it could. Wait.
So, the Parent Cave does have amazing stuff hidden in it?
-Uh... yes?
Many wonderful things, hidden, as you say.
-Like what? -Like what.
Well, there's, uh, the indoor water slide!
-A who what now?
PHIL: An indoor water slide
with hairpin turns,
spray jets, and a heated catch pool!
And when you've had enough chills, thrills, and spills,
why not try your luck at the Bucking Bullrus?
And after all that sliding and riding,
you'll work up a mean thirst, so take a drink from...
a naturally occurring Straw-Peary Punch Fountain!
It's fruity! It's fizzy! It's fantastic.
Uh, but I suppose none of that would interest you.
Oh well. Enjoy your Kid Cave.
-Cave-vana. I knew it was real.
-We changed our minds! -We wanna go to the Parent Cave!
I gotta ride that water slide.
-I'm gonna take down that Bucking Bullrus!
-I'm gonna take down a punch bath!
KIDS: Parent Cave! Parent Cave!
-C-can we go to the Parent Cave, too?
-I want to ride the Bullrus! -Grug, none of that stuff is real.
-Phil lied to them. -More importantly, he bought us time.
Let's hurry up and clean this cave before they come back.
-Wouldn't it have been easier to tell the truth?
-This is no time to find a conscience, Ugga!
-Fetch the brooms! -Why do I smell smoke?
-Probably 'cause there's smoke. -[crackling]
Ah!
[all screaming]
-We searched the whole cave twice, and I still haven't found the water slide.
-Did you find anything, Eep? -Not yet.
-Oof! -But, there must be some button or lever
that opens the door to all the good stuff. [gasps]
-[snarling] -Oh, y-you're right, Sandy.
All this looking is making me thirsty for punch, too.
-These cave walls just feel like...
cave walls. Ah!
-Guy, you were right. There's nothing here
but a bunch of rocks and steam...
[grunts] and other rocks. Why didn't we listen to you?
-Ah, it's okay. Being right is its own reward.
-Which means there's no water slide! Or a Bucking Bullrus!
-But I think I found the Straw-Peary Punch Fountain!
Ah! That's not Straw-Peary Punch.
That just tastes like hot. They lied to us.
-But parents don't lie to their kids. Do they?
-Well, someone owes us an explanation. Back to our cave!
ALL: Kid Cave! Kid Cave!
-[struggling] It's not coming off!
-I believe I found the source of our conflagration.
-Hey! You found my meat spike! [chomp]
Mm... Ashy.
-KIDS: Kid Cave! Kid Cave! -[gasps]
-Kid Cave! -Back so soon?
I thought you were, uh, going to the Parent Cave.
-We did!
And I've never been so disappointed in all my years!
-Yeah. It was a little light on indoor water slides
-because there wasn't one. - Ora Bucking Bullrus.
-Or a Straw-Peary Punch Fountain.
-Clearly, you weren't looking hard enough.
Did you open the secret door?
It's behind the rocks and the steam and the other rocks.
-We searched every part of that cave.
There's no secret door.
-I think it's time we told them the truth.
We made all that stuff up to keep you out of the Kid Cave because--
- Becausewe were planning
a big surprise for you in there!
-A surprise?! What is it?!
-Please let it be a Straw-Peary Punch Fountain.
-Who cares what it is? It's a surprise! Let's go!
-Unfortunately, the surprise isn't quite ready.
So, if you can just give us until...
tomorrow morning, it'll be perfect.
-No worries. I know surprises,
and rule number one is you can't rush 'em.
-You guys are the best parents ever. See you tomorrow!
-Also, there's a bearacuda in there!
-Bearacuda? -[growls] Yes!
We were working on your surprise when a...
-bearacuda... -Mm-hmm.
-...entered the cave.
That's why the surprise isn't ready yet.
-Well, we gotta get that bearacuda out of there.
-Yeah! Before it drinks our surprise.
-Bearacuda beatdown!
-I'm afraid it's too dangerous. Bearacudas are nocturnal,
so they're most aggressive at this time of day.
-Exactly.
So, why don't we all head back to the treehouse,
and we'll come back in the morning, when it's sleeping?
-Good call, Hope.
Guess we're not the only ones who'll be getting a surprise.
-Oh, wait. Is the bearacuda getting a fountain, too?
-Well, thanks to Grug,
the kids now think there's a bearacuda in the cave.
-You're welcome. -[sighs] So,
now all we need is a vicious bearacuda.
-What? Why don't you just tell them the truth?
-And admit we were wrong?
They'll never listen to us again!
-No, we're past the point of no return, Ugga.
-Phil's right.
So, who's getting the barracuda?
PHIL: Hm...
-Well, you did it, Grug. You took the dumbest plan ever
-and somehow made it dumber. -What do you mean?
-Lying about the surprise was bad enough.
Throwing in the bearacuda after the kids bought it was even worse.
But then, you topped it off with that helmet.
-Oh! You mean my meat helmet? -[squish]
Yeah, when a barracuda gets a whiff of this baby,
-it'll come running. -Right for your head.
* *
-[gasps] Oh no. You're right!
I got to take this thing off!
-[squishing] -[struggling] It's stuck!
It must be the heat! It made my head swell!
-Hurry, Grug. We've got company. -[growling]
-Yes, it worked! Oh no. It worked. -Grug! Run!
-Ugh! Where are Grug and Ugga with that bearacuda?!
-Dropping the ball as usual.
But, not to worry. I've got a backup plan.
Chunky, you'll be playing the role of bearacuda today.
So, get into character.
[rumbling yawn]
Close enough.
-Ah! -DAWN: Bearacuda beatdown!
[struggling]
-Bearacuda moving day. Did we time it right?
-Is it asleep? -Yes!
But, Phil is already in there, taking care of it.
I saidPhil is taking care of it!
PHIL: Begone, fowl creature!
Vacate the premises!
Chunky! Growl like a bearacuda!
[snorts]
Growl, I say!
-[snorts] -Fine! I'll do it myself.
Rawr!
-[weak roaring] -That bearacuda does sound sleepy.
-[Grug screaming] -[snarling]
-But his friends don't!
-Come on! Our parents need our help!
[all yelling]
[panting] Dad!
-Don't worry, honey, I got this!
-Chunky! Attack! -[snorts]
[tired grumbling]
-Chunky! Bad death cat! Oh! -[growls]
[spinning, bouncing]
Hey! You got my meat helmet off! Thanks!
-Sorry. Meat helmet? -That's it! Time for us to take over.
Let's Kid Cave these 'cudas!
-I got the helmet! [laugh, grunts]
[sighs] And a strike!
-[whistles] -[roars]
-Whoa... [grunts]
-Got all of that, whatever that is.
GRUG: It's a meat helmet.
-Meat rebound! Meat-bound!
-[laughs] -[growls]
-[thudding] -[panting]
-[grunts] Woo!
-[grunts] -[growling]
[click]
* *
The cave! It's trashed!
-Hey, I don't see a surprise in here!
-That's... part of the surprise.
It's, um, somewhere else.
-Surprise! -Enough. There's no surprise.
We snuck into your Kid Cave and accidentally trashed it.
Then we lied, so we'd have time to clean it up. Didn't we?
-Mom? Dad? Did you lie to me?
-I have no idea who these people are.
[angry growl]
Fine! It's true! We did this!
We were seduced by the forbidden fruit of your No Parents sign.
-And the forbidden meat of the meat spikes!
-I can't believe you guys did this.
You ruined our cave! Then, you lied about it.
And then you lied about your lie!
-Indeed. There's no defending our behavior.
-Especially Grug's. -We never should've invaded your space,
especially after we wouldn't share ours.
-So, where do we hang out now?
-Well, there's a lovely beach nearby.
Shouldn't take you more than two or three days to get there--
[angry grunt] Ow!
Fine! The Parent Cave is yours
till we fix your Kid Cave.
-How does that solve the problem?
Your cave is just rocks and steam and other rocks.
-Eh, don't worry, Guy-boy.
We're about to give the Parent Cave a Kid Cave makeover.
-You think there's room for a rollerlog ramp in there?
-Sure. Next to the battle cage.
-Guy, can you invent us a Straw-Peary Punch Fountain?
Now that it's in my head, it's all I ever wanted.
-Don't forget the meat spike thing! -I guess we should get to work.
The sooner we clean up this cave, the sooner we get ourcave back.
-GRAN: Stop! -[all gasp]
No one's cleaning up this cave
because it's the Gran Cave now.
It's a burnt-out husk, just like me. So, get out!
[whimpering]
I said go!
[screaming]
-[grunts] -[snarling]
* *
-[gate opens, shuts] -[quiet laughter]
Let's do this.
[whimpering]
