Bring him here.

(GRUNTS)

How dare you...

Oh. (GRUNTS)

How dare you set foot

on our hallowed ground?

You took our ground.

- Our home!

- (SCOFFS) Oh, that.

Listen, you Stone Age brute.

You have no home.

Your kind are finished

on this Earth.

Now take him away and kill him.

Slowly.

(CROWD LAUGHING)

Argh! No, I mean

take him away at normal speed

and kill him slowly. Idiots!

- (WHISTLE BLOWS)

- Now get on with the game.

VIKING CAPTAIN:

We challenge the champions!

Wait... Wait!

(YELLING)

- (GRUNTS)

- (AIR HISSING)

(ALL GASPING)

(DUG PANTING)

We challenge the champions!

- (ALL GASP)

- Huh?

What did you say?

- He said, "We challenge..."

- I heard what he said!

If we win, we keep our valley.

You leave my tribe in peace.

- (CROWD MURMURING)

- Hmm.

You think you can beat us

at football?

- (LAUGHING)

- (CROWD LAUGHING)

A match between

the Bronze and the brutes?

What an idea!

Sacrilege, O Premier Leader!

Yes. Quite.

The masses would flock to see

such a vulgar spectacle. Pah!

Hmm...

Oh!

Really?

For the valley, you say?

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(ALL SOBBING)

HOGNOB:
Hmm?

(HOGNOB BARKING)

(GASPS)

- Dug!

- ASBO:
It's Dug!

- BARRY:
He's alive!

- (EXCITED CHATTER)

Uh, what's that crazy fruit

he's got?

CHIEF BOBNAR:
"Football"?

- What's "football"?

- (ALL GASP)

And how's it going to get

our valley back?

Well, it's this amazing game,

Chief.

And the leader

of the Bronze people,

he says if we play this game

and beat them at it...

Ooh, nice tight shorts!

Aw, Mum!

...we can have our valley back.

- (ALL GASP)

- That's what we want.

- And if we don't beat them?

- DUG:
Ah.

Well, then,

he said we'll spend the rest

of our miserable lives

working down a mine.

No!

- What's a "mine"?

- CHIEF BOBNAR:
Dug,

we've never even played

this game.

But that's just it.

We did. Once.

Huh?

Those cave paintings

back in our valley,

they're pictures of our

ancestors playing football.

(ALL GASPING IN AWE)

- Champion!

- DUG:
So if they did it,

surely we can do it.

(SNEEZES)

Sorry! Shimmering memories

make me sneeze.

This doesn't change anything,

Dug.

It's just too risky.

Oh, come on, Chief!

We can do it, Chief!

I wanna play football!

I wanna play now!

Now!

(STAMMERS) Listen...

No, we're not... No!

(ALL GROAN)

All right, then.

Don't worry about us.

Yeah, we'll... (SNIFFLES)

We'll be okay.

We'll just die a slow and

lingering death in the Badlands.

Huh?

Come on, Chief.

Just give us a chance. Please!

(GRUNTS ENCOURAGINGLY)

(SIGHS) Look, all right.

(ALL GASP)

Maybe we'll give this

"football" idea a try, then.

(ALL CHEERING)

(WHOOPING)

(SCREAMS)

No promises, mind.

The match is to be played
