EEP:

Please come back tomorrow.

ON GRUG getting his ‘bath.’

GRUG:

How can she not like the cave? It’s so

cozy.

UGGA:

It is a little, dark, Grug.

GRUG:

It’s not that dark.

Grug is finished with his bath.

GRUG (CONT’D)

(losing patience)

Eep! Eep?

Eep begins to climb down the wall outside when she hears

a sound in the distance. Curious, she begins to climbeven higher. Grug leaves the cave, searching for her.

GRUG (CONT’D)

Come on, I gotta close the cave...

ON GRUG exiting the cave... Grug sees that Eep is at the

very top.

GRUG (CONT’D)

Eep!

Eep continues to climb.

EEP:

Okay, okay!

GRUG:

Come on.

Behind Grug, the Bear Owl appears up the canyon. It

SPOTS Grug and the open cave and RACES to attack. Grug

sees the BearOwl in full attack mode.

GRUG (CONT’D)

EEP! COME DOWN!!

Grug throws a rock which momentarily stuns the creature,

allowing Eep to JUMP DOWN and DART into the cave. Grugbarely gets the cave closed in time.

GRUG (CONT’D)

*Sigh*

CUT TO:

SEQ. 210 - BEDTIME STORY

The Bear Owl PUSHES his paw through the narrow opening,

and FEELS around for the Croods. The Croods are like

mice in this world.

GRUG:

That was too close!

EEP:

I was watching. I was fine.

GRUG:

What were you doing up there, Eep?

EEP:

I don’t know.

GRUG:

What were you looking for?

EEP:

Nothing.

GRUG:

Well then why did you go up there?

EEP:

(annoyed)

I don’t know.

GRUG:

Why don’t you know? Stop looking for

things. Fear keeps us alive Eep. Never

not be afraid.

Eep climbs up on a ledge and curls up in the corner where

a tiny spot of light seeps in.

EEP:

(to herself)

What’s the point of all this?

GRUG:

Hmmm? What was that?

The Croods 12.12.2012 12.

EEP:

(a little louder)

I mean, why are we here? What are we

doing this for?

CROODS:

*Groan*

GRUG:

No one said survival was fun.

EEP:

Nothing is fun.

GRUG:

Hmm? Would you come down here. Eep?

No answer. Grug CLIMBS up. Ugga PULLS Grug back down.

UGGA:

Grug. Off.

GRUG:

Yes.

Grug climbs back up.

UGGA:

Off!

GRUG:

I just don’t see why she needs her own

ledge. That’s all. That’s what this is

about.

UGGA:

She’s working through some things and

needs her own space.

GRUG:

What things? How long is this going totake? Really? I mean she already

doesn’t listen to me.

A pebble hits Grug in the head. It came from Eep’s

ledge.

GRUG (CONT’D)

Hey!

UGGA:

See? She’s listening.

GRUG:

If she wants to survive, she has to

follow our rules.
