• Guy : Once upon a time, there was a beautiful tiger. She lived in a cave with the rest of her family. Her father and mother told her: "You may go anywhere you want, but never go near the cliff, for you could fall."

  Grug : And die. Good story.

  [the others start to leave but Guy goes on and they sit back down] 

  Guy : But when no one was looking, she'd go near the cliff, for the closer she came to the edge, the more could she hear, the more could she see, the more she could feel. Finally, she stood at the very edge. She saw a light. She leaned out to touch it... and she slipped.

  Grug : And she fell.

  Guy : And she *flew.*

  [the others gasp] 

  Thunk : Where did she fly?

  Guy : Tomorrow.

  Eep : Tomorrow?

  Guy : A place with more suns in the sky than you can count.

  Thunk : It would be so bright!

  Guy : A place not like today, or yesterday. A place where things are better.

  Grug : Tomorrow isn't a place. It's... it's... Ugh! You can't see it!

  Guy : Oh, yes, yes it is. I've seen it. That's where I'm going.

• Eep : Dad, I'm scared.

  Grug : *Never* be afraid.

• Eep : [as Grug is about to throw her over the chasm]  No, I have too much to say to you. I need to fix everything, and I don't have time!

  Grug : I can fix it.

  [He pulls her into an embrace] 

  Eep : This works good. What do you call it?

  Grug : I was thinking of calling it... a hug. Uh, because it rhymes with Grug! But, uh, you can change it if you like.

  Eep : [laughing]  No, no. I like "hug."

• Guy : You're really heavy.

  Eep : [flattered]  Really? Thank you!

• Guy : [to Eep, after making everyone shoes]  Okay, now you can look.

  Eep : [looks down at her shoes and screams in panic and excitement]  AAAHHH! I *LOVE* them! Where are my feet?

  Guy : [reassuring]  They're still there!

• Eep : I never got to tell him.

  Ugga : Eep, if your dad were here, he would tell you to...

  Grug : [from afar]  Get out of the way!

  Thunk : Wow. You sound just like him.

• Eep : So how did the tiger fly?

  Guy : She jumped on the sun, and rode it to tomorrow.

• [first lines] 

  Eep : With every sun comes a new day. A new beginning. A hope that things will be better today than they were yesterday. But not for me. My name is Eep. And this is my family, the Croods. If you weren't clued in already by the animal skins and sloping foreheads, we're cavemen. Most days we spend in our cave, in the dark. Night after night, day after day. Yep, home sweet home. When we did go out, we struggled to find food in a harsh and hostile world. And I struggled to survive my family. We were the last ones around. There used to be neighbors. Uh, the Gorts, smashed by a mammoth. The Horks, swallowed by a sand snake. The Erfs, mosquito bite. Throgs, common cold. And the Croods, that's us. The Croods made it, because of my dad. He was strong, and he followed the rules. The ones painted on the cave walls. Anything new is bad. Curiosity is bad. Going out at night is bad. Basically, anything fun is bad. Welcome to my world! But this is a story about how all that changed in an instant. Because what we didn't know was that our world was about to come to an end. And there were no rules on our cave walls to prepare us for that.

• Eep : Hey, do you have a minute? How did the tiger fly?

  Guy : I only share when I'm outside the log. I'm funny that way.

• Grug : [as they're about to cross water]  Eep, looks dangerous.

  Eep : [exasperated]  Dad, you say that about everything!

  [she steps toward the water] 

  Guy : Careful!

  Eep : Oh. *Really?* Okay.

  [Grug gasps in disbelief] 

• Grug : Three days is not forever!

  Eep : It is with this family.

• Guy : [as Grug is freaking out in a rainstorm]  You've seen rains before, right?

  Eep : We don't... get out much.

• Eep : [talking about Guy]  I thought he was a warthog, but then he turned into a boy.

  Gran : Strange... usually, it's the reverse.

• Grug : What were you doing up there?

  Eep : I don't know.

  Grug : What were you looking for?

  Eep : Nothing.

  Grug : Why did you go there?

  Eep : I don't know!

  Grug : Why don't you know?

• Guy : Stay here if you want, but let me go! I've got a dream! A mission! A reason to live!

  Eep : Not anymore!

• Grug : [On a giant stone lever]  And I call this one, a "Lifterator!"

  Eep : Mom...?

  Ugga : It's... I know, it's bad.

  [Grug launches himself high into the sky and gets hit by lightning] 

  Gran : I almost feel sorry for him.

  [Grug falls down and gets run over by the boulder] 

  Gran : Oh-hohoho, no, I don't!

• Eep : Hi, fire.

  Guy : [laughing]  It's not alive.

  Eep : But you said it was dying.

  Guy : [pause]  Sorry.

• Guy : [sees Eep watching Grug and Thunk hunt]  You look tense.

  Eep : [in denial]  I'm not tense

• [after the conch has been obliterated by the Crood family] 

  Eep : What is wrong with you?

  Grug : It was dangerous!

  Eep : It was beautiful! You want to see dangerous, here!

  [throws the piece and hits Thunk in the nose] 

  Thunk : Ow! My sniffer!

  Grug : Okay, Eep, that's it! We're going back to the cave and you're gonna stay in there until you're older than... Uh, you know... HER!

  Eep : What? You can't keep me inside forever!
