Female Mini Sloth: Superheated rock from the earth's core is surging into the crust, melting ice built up over thousands of years.
Sid: You are a very advanced race. Together we can look for a solution.

[last lines]
Sid: Manny, who do you like better, me or Diego?
Manfred: Diego. No contest.
Ellie: Manny, you can't pick favorites with your kids.
Manfred: He's not my kid. He's not even my dog. If I had a dog, and that dog had a kid, and that kid had a pet, that would be Sid.
Sid: Manny, can I have a dog?
Manfred: No.
Sid: Ellie, can I have a dog?
Ellie: Sure, sweetie.

---

Manfred: Hey, kids. Who said you could torture the sloth?
Diego: Manny, don't squash their creativity.

---

Sid: Hey, Manny, Diego, my bad mammals-jammmals. Want to give a sloth a hand?

---

Manfred: Come on. Don't listen to him. Fast Tony would sell his own mother for a grape.
Fast Tony: Are you making an offer? I mean... No, I would not!

---

Manfred: I don't think her tree goes all the way to the top branch.

---

Sid: Hey. Can you guys slow down? I'm dying here...
[Vultures flying above]
Sid: It's just a figure of speech.

---

Diego: [to the water] I am NOT your prey. I am NOT your prey. I am NOT... YOUR... PREY.
[jumps in]

Ellie: What about me is attractive?
Manfred: Your... butt?

Ellie: That is really sweet.

---

Sid: Ah, they kid. That's why they're called "kids"!

---

Crash: [singing] I believe I can fly.
[hits tree]

---

Lone Gunslinger Vulture: [singing] Food, glorious food / We're... anxious to try it!

Manfred: Mammoths can't go extinct; we're the biggest animals on Earth.
Diatryma Mom: Uh, what about the dinosaurs?
Manfred: The dinosaurs got cocky. They made enemies.

---

Molehog Kid 1, Molehog Kid 2: [trying to coax old hedgehog out of burrow] Come on, grandpa. Hurry! We're gonna be late!

Manfred: Okay. Thanks to Sid, we're now traveling together, and, like it or not, we're gonna be one big, happy family. I'll be the daddy, Ellie will be the mommy, and Diego will be the uncle who eats the kids who get on my nerves.

---

Fast Tony: [trying to sell things to the other animals] Forget reeds! I present you with this revolutionary gizmo we call... bark! It's so buoyant, it actually floats!

---

Manfred: I'm not going extinct!
Aardvark Dad: [to his children] Kids, look. The *last* mammoth. You probably won't another one of *those* again!

---

Aardvark Dad: [questioning Manny] Say buddy, not to cast aspersions on your survival instincts or nothin' but haven't mammoths pretty much gone extinct?
Manfred: What are you talking about?
Aardvark Dad: I'm talking about *you* being the last of your kind.
Manfred: Uh, your breath smells like ants.

---

Sid: [singing to annoy Manfred] Stop, hey! What's that sound? All the mammoths are in the ground!

---

Traffic Vulture: [giving "traffic report"] We've got an overturned glytpodont in the far right lane, traffic backed up as far as the eye can see.

Lone Gunslinger Vulture: [pause] I call the dark meat!

---

[repeated line]
Scrat: Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

[first lines]
Mr. Start: Oy, this global warming is *killing* me!
Mrs. Start: This is too *hot*, the Ice Age was too *cold*, what will it take to make you happy? Aah!
[the ice that she is sitting on cracks and she falls into the water]
Mr. Start: *This* I like!

---

Sid: [the group has just escaped from Cretaceous and Maelstrom, the two sea reptiles] What in the animal kingdom was *that*?
Diego: I don't know. But from now on, land safe, water... not safe.

---

Manfred: I knew it! I knew I couldn't be the only one!
Ellie: Me too! Everybody falls out of the tree sometimes. They just won't admit it!

---

Start Girl: Sometimes I throw up!

---

Stu: [he has a reed up his nose, as a product of Fast Tony] I can smell the ocean!

---

Lone Gunslinger Vulture: It's real alright, and it's comin' fast. I mean look around, you're sittin' in a bowl, the bowl's gonna fill up, and no way out. Unless you can make it to the end of the valley. There's a boat, it can save you.

---

Lone Gunslinger Vulture: Y'all better hurry, grounds melting, walls tumbling and rocks crumbling, survive that, you'll be racin' the water. In three days time it's gonna hit the geyser field. Boom!

---

Manfred: [looking for Ellie] Have you seen a mammoth?
Shovelmouth Male: No, sorry.
Manfred: Have you seen a mammoth?
Freaky Female: No, no I haven't.
Diego: Possum, about eleven foot tall?
Aardvark Mom: Uh-uh.

---

Sid: Manny, look on the bright side; you have us!
Diego: Not your most persuasive argument, Sid.

---

Freaky Male: [seeing Sid about to jump off a waterfall] Look! Some idiot's going down the Eviscerator!
Manfred: [to Diego] Please tell me it's not our idiot.

---

[Mother condor towers over Scrat]
Scrat: Peep.

---

Sid: No running, James! Camp rules!
James: Make me, sloth!
Sid: Make me, "sir"! It's all about respect.

---

Eddie: [Manny has said something that Eddie didn't like] I'd rather be roadkill!
Diego: *That* can be arranged.

---

Manfred: And so, in the end, the little burro reached his mommy, and they lived happily ever after.
[Children cheer]
Diego: Good job.
Beaver Boy: Question. Why does the burro go home? Why doesn't he stay with the rabbits?
Manfred: Because... because he wanted to be with his family.
Diego's Bird Girl: I think he should go with the girl burro. That's a better love story.
Manfred: Okay. Well, when you tell your burro story, that's what he'll do.
Elk Boy: Burro is a demeaning name. Technically it's called a wild ass.
Manfred: Fine. The wild ass boy went home to his wild ass mother.
[Children laugh]
Manfred: See, that's why I called it a burro!

---

Sid: I'm gonna be the first one to jump off the Eviscerator, and then you guys are gonna have to start showing me some respect.
Manfred: You jump off this, the only respect you're gonna get is respect for the dead.
Diego: Come on, Manny. He's not that stupid.
[Sid prepares to jump]
Diego: But I've been wrong before.

---

Fast Tony: It's all part of my accu-weather forecast. The five-day outlook is calling for intense flooding followed by... the end of the world! And a slight chance of patchy sunshine later in the week.

---

Lone Gunslinger Vulture: There is some good news, though. The more of you die, the better I eat. I didn't say it was good news for you.

---

Ellie: Hey, do we do any special tricks like roll over, or do we just throw our weight around?

---

[the ground has flooded overnight]
Eddie: Crash, I told you not to drink before bed.
Crash: I didn't do this! At least not all of it.

---

Manfred: You are so stubborn and hard-headed!
Ellie: Well, I guess that proves it - I am a mammoth!

---

Female Mini Sloth: Fire King avert flood. Join us, O great and noble flaming one.
Diego: Whoa, not so fast there! Okay? You make a quality offer, but Fire King has a prior commitment. His herd needs him. He is the gooey, sticky... stuff that holds us together. He made this herd, and we'd be nothing without him.
Sid: You mean it? Ohh!
[Hugs Diego]
Diego: Sid! Sid! I'm... That doesn't mean "want to touch."

---

Ellie: I thought fat guys were supposed to be jolly.
Manfred: I'm not fat. It's this fur. It makes me look big. It's poofy.
Ellie: Oh, okay.
[to Crash and Eddie]
Ellie: He's fat.

---

Sid: Well, shave me down and call me a mole rat. You found another mammoth.
Ellie: Where? Wait a minute. I thought mammoths were extinct.
[pause]
Ellie: What are you looking at me for?
Manfred: I don't know. Maybe because you're a mammoth?
Ellie: Me? Don't be ridiculous! I'm not a mammoth, I'm a possum.
Manfred: Right, good one. I'm a newt.
[Points at Diego]
Manfred: This is my friend, the badger,
[Points at Sid]
Manfred: ... and my other friend, the platypus.
Sid: Why do I gotta be the platypus? Make him the platypus.

---

Sid: [Manfred doesn't want to shoot Crash from a tree] You're never gonna impress Ellie like that.
Manfred: I don't want to impress her.
Sid: Then why are you trying so hard to convince her she's a mammoth?
Manfred: Because that's what she is! I don't care if she thinks she's a possum. You can't be two things.
Sid: Au contraire, mon "fered". Tell that to the bullfrog, the chickenhawk, and the turtledove.

---

Fast Tony: [stopping female ox] You, ma'am! You look like a big *fat* hairy beast. How you'd like to lost a ton or two?
Female Ox: Uh! Would I ever!
Fast Tony: Well, now you can, with Fast Tony's miracle diet!
Male Ox: Don't listen to him, Vera. You're already thin as a twig.
[the two leave]
Fast Tony: And I also have the perfect cure for your eyesight, my blind friend.

---

Molehog Kid 1: C'mon, Grandpa its time to go!
Molehog Kid 2: The flood's over!
Molehog Grandpa: I'm not leaving this boat! This is my boat now!

---

Sid: He's coming around the corner, and he's up by a couple of fifths. He's ahead by a tusk! Oh, he's beating Diego! Diego's gonna go to the corner!

---

Manfred: Hey, buddy, have you seen a mammoth?
Glyptodon: I sure have, big as life.
Manfred: Where?
Glyptodon: I'm looking at him.
Manfred: Not me!
[leaves]
Glyptodon: [to his friend, another glyptodont] Poor guy, doesn't know he's a mammoth.

---

Manfred: We gotta listen to him, he was right about the flood!
Fast Tony: I am?
[confident]
Fast Tony: I mean, yes, I am!
Elk Dad: Wait a minute,
[to Manfred]
Elk Dad: *you're* the one who said there wasn't going to *be* a flood. Why should we listen to you?
Manfred: Because we saw what's up there. The dam's gonna break, the entire valley's gonna flood!

---

Ellie: [annoyed with Manny suggesting they save their species] OK. We followed you during the day, now you're coming with us at night.
Manfred: But we can't see at night.
Ellie: Then enjoy the flood.
Eddie: I can't even look at him!
Crash: [turns and looks at Manny] Pervert!

---

Eddie: [while looking down and around him] Crash, I told you not to drink before bed.
Crash: [while looking down and around him] I didn't do *this*!
[looks behind him]
Crash: At least not *all* of it.

---

Sid: You guys won't believe what happened to me just now!
Diego: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you were *sleepwalking*.
Sid: Oh, no. I was kidnapped by a tribe of mini sloths.
Diego: *That* was going to be my *second* guess.
