- Hey! Just pretend that I'm not here.

- Don't let them impale me, please. I wanna live.

- I wanted to hit him at full speed.

- That's OK, Frank. We'll have some fun with him.

- Get off me.

- Hey, buddy! If it's not them today, it's just someone else tomorrow.

- Come on, you'remakin' a scene.

- We'll just take our furry pinata and go. Would you mind?

- Well, I'dlike rather not be today. OK?

- Shut up.

- Look, we'regonna break your neck so you don't feel a thing. How`s that?

- Wait a minute. I thought rhinos were vegetarians.

- An excellent point.

- Who says we'regonna eat him after we kill him?

- OK, look. If either you make it across that sinkhole in front of you, you get the sloth.

- Yeh, come on. Move it!

-You know, I don't like animals that kill for pleasure.

- Save it for a mammal that cares.

- I'm a mammal that cares.

- That's right, you losers. You take one step and you're dead.

- You were bluffing, huh?

- A dandelion?

- Yeah. Yeah, that was a bluff.

- Get him!

- We did it!

- What?

- You have beautiful eyes.

- Wow, really?

- Get off my face.

- Wow, you and me, we make a great team. I mean. What`d you say we just head south together?

- Great. Yeah, hey, jump on my back and relax your whole way.

- I guess not. Bye.

- No.

- Wait, aren't you going to south? The changing seasons, migration instincts? Any of this a-ringin' a bell?

- OK, then. Thanks for the help. I can take it from here.

- Isn't this great? You and me, two bachelors knockin' about in the wild.

- Hey, you overgrown weasel. Wait till we get down there.

- Ohohou! That south thing is way overrated. The heat, the crowds - who needs any?

- No, you just want a bodyguard so you don't become somebody's side dish.

- You're a very shrewd mammal.

- Stop following me.

- OK, can you lead the way, Mr Big Guy? Didn't get the name.

- Manfred.

- Manfred? Yuck.

- How about Manny the Moody Mammoth? Or Manny the Melancholy... Manny the...

- OK, so you've got issues. Look, you won't even know I'm here. I'll just zip the lip when I say...
