Sure enough, it's Mertle Edmonds, who is strutting over to them.) (Mertle, arrogantly: Maybe your dog can take a picture of ME, when I win the competition.) How do you know YOU'RE gonna win? (Mertle: I think it's pretty well known that I'M the best dancer in the seven-year-old division.) I don't know. I think maybe, I can win. (Mertle: HELLO-O?! You're a stinky dancer, and anything that YOU come up with is gonna be stinky.) AAARGH! (Lilo prepares to lunge at Mertle, but Stitch holds her back, grabbing her by the arm.) (Stitch: M-m-m.) (Mertle, mockingly: You'll never be like your mom.) (With that, Lilo and Stitch gasp.) (Mertle: NEVER.) (Lilo's eyes narrow.) (Stitch: Okay.) (Breathing fire, Lilo throws down her headdress.)

(Biff, still clutching (Lorraine: Just turn around, McFly, and walk away.) (Lorraine: Please, George.) (Biff: Are you deaf, McFly? Close the door and beat it.)

(Gideon: Nice costume, loser. What kind of crazy world are you living in where you think a bunny can be a cop?) (firmly) Kindly return my friend's tickets. (Gideon: Come and get 'em. But watch out, 'cause I'm a fox. Like you said in your dumb little stage play, us predators used to EAT prey! And our killer instincts are still in our "denna.")

"(Sid's trying to wipe his feet off after stepping into poop) (Sid: Eww! It makes me so... I wanna... Yuck. This has definitely not been my day. [In his disgusted haste, he inadvertently wipes his feet on the salad of Carl and Frank, who look at him with chagrin] Y'know what I'm sayin', buddy? And what a mess. (he begins shaking his foot to get to poo off, unknowingly flicking it into Carl's face) Y'know, you rhinos have really tiny brains. Did you know that? It's just a fact. No offense. You probably don't even know what I'm talkin' about. (chuckles) Oh, yummo! (plucks up the dandelion) A dandelion! Must be the last one of the season! (eats it) Mmm...mmm!) (Frank: Carl!) (Carl: Easy, Frank.) (Frank: He ruined our salad.) (Sid: Huh? (notices what he's standing on, jumps up in alarm and backs away; apologetic) Oh, my goodness! That was my mistake! Now, let me make it up to... (Sid trips over a log, he crawls on all fours while Carl and Frank slowly but menacingly walk towards him) No, no, seriously! L-L-Let me take care of this! Wha-what is this? Pine cones! Oh, my goodness! They're my favorite! (Sid hesitantly takes a bite out of the pine cone.) Mmm. Delicious. Ow! That's um... uh, good eating. But don't let me hog 'em all up, oh, no! Here, you have some! Tasty, isn't it? (Sid force-feeds Carl the pine cone. Carl growls in anger) Bon appetite!) (Sid starts to run) (Frank: Now?) (They watch the sloth flee for his life) (Carl: Now!) (Carl and Frank give chase. Sid screams in terror, looking behind him, he bumps into something. It's Manny.) Hey! (Sid sees the rhinos catching up; hides behind Manny) (Sid: Just pretend that I'm not here!) (Frank: I wanted to hit him at full speed!) (Carl: That's ok, Frank. We'll have some fun with him!) (Sid (clutching Manny's leg): Don't let them impale me, please! I WANNA LIVE!) Get off me! (nudges Sid off) (Carl: C'mon, you're makin' a scene!) (Frank: We'll just take our furry piñata and go, if you don't mind.) Hey, buddy, if it's not them today, it's just someone else tomorrow. (Sid: Well, I'd rather not be today, okay?) (Carl: Look, we're gonna break your neck so you don't feel a thing. How's that?) Wait a minute. I thought rhinos were vegetarians. (Sid: An excellent point!) Shut up! (Carl: Who says we're gonna eat him after we kill him?) (Frank: Yeah, c'mon, move it!) Y'know, I don't like animals that kill for pleasure. (Carl: Save it for a mammal that cares.) (Sid: I'm a mammal that cares!) Okay, look - if either of you get across that sinkhole in front of you, you get the sloth. (Sid: That's right, you losers! You take one step and you're dead!) (Sid throws a rock, which bounces off the "sinkhole"; instead of sinking, it lands in front of the rhinos.) (Sid: You were bluffing, huh?) Uh, yeah, that was a bluff. (Carl & Frank: GET HIM!) (The rhinos charge at Manny, hitting the mammoth's tusks, pushing him back. Sid screams as he notices the rhinos are pushing the two of them towards the edge of a cliff. Manny gathers all his force, and pushes back ten times as hard as the rhinos, sending them flying. Sid jumps in front of Manny, cheering) (Sid: WHOO-HOO! AAAAAAAH!!!) (Sid runs back behind Manny as he spots the charging rhinos. Manny grabs Carl and tosses him into the air. Sid watches in amazement, impressed as Carl lands with a thud. He screams as Frank comes charging at him, but Manny picks up Frank and tosses him into the air.) (Carl: A dandelion?) (Frank thuds on top of the dandelion.) (Sid: WHOO-HOO! We did it! WE DID IT! (wraps his arms around Manny)) Wait, wait! (Sid's force is just enough to push them both over the cliff.) (Both: AAAAH!!!) (Fortunately, the cliff isn't as steep as they thought; they just slide all the way down. They reach the bottom. Sid is still holding onto Manny's face) (Sid: You have beautiful eyes.) (muffled) Get off my face."
