• Sid : Maybe we could rapidly evolve into water creatures.

  Diego : That's genius, Sid.

  Sid : Call me Squid.

• [last lines] 

  Sid : Manny, who do you like better, me or Diego?

  Manfred : Diego. It's not even close.

  Diego : Heh, told you.

  Ellie : Manny, you can't choose between your kids.

  Manfred : He's not my kid. He's not even my dog. If I had a dog, and that dog had a kid, and the dog's kid had a pet, that would be Sid.

  Sid : Can I have a dog, Manny?

  Manfred : No.

  Sid : Ellie, can I have a dog?

  Ellie : Of course, you can, sweetie.

  Manfred : Ellie, we have to be consistent with them.

• Manfred : Uh, Diego, retract the claws, please.

  Diego : Oh... right... sorry.

  [lets go] 

  Sid : You know, if I didn't know you better Diego, I'd think you were afraid of the water.

  Sid : [Diego grabs Sid's neck and chokes him] 

  Sid : OK, Good thing I know you better.

• Sid : You did it, buddy, you kicked water's butt!

  Diego : Nothing to it. Most animals can swim as babies, you know.

  Sid : Yeah but not tigers. I left that part out.

• Diego : If anyone asks, there were fifty of 'em... And, uh... They were rattlesnakes.

• Sid : Manny, look on the bright side; you have us!

  Diego : Not your most persuasive argument, Sid.

• Eddie : [Sid has said something that Eddie didn't like]  I'd rather be roadkill!

  Diego : "That" can be arranged.

• Sid : I'm gonna be the first one to jump off the Eviscerator, and then you guys are gonna have to start showing me some respect.

  Manfred : You jump off this, the only respect you're gonna get is respect for the dead.

  Diego : Come on, Manny. He's not that stupid.

  [Sid prepares to jump] 

  Diego : But I've been wrong before.

• Sid : You guys won't believe what happened to me just now!

  Diego : I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you were "sleepwalking".

  Sid : Oh, no. I was kidnapped by a tribe of mini sloths.

  Diego : That was going to be my second guess.

• Female Mini Sloth : Fire King avert flood. Join us, O great and noble flaming one.

  Diego : Whoa, not so fast there! Okay? You make a quality offer, but Fire King has a prior commitment. His herd needs him. He is the gooey, sticky... stuff that holds us together. He made this herd, and we'd be nothing without him.

  Sid : You mean it? Ohh!

  [Hugs Diego] 

  Diego : Sid! Sid! I'm... That doesn't mean "want to touch."

• Diego : [Crash and Eddie are playing on the ice]  Can't you see is thin enough without you two wearing it down?

  Sid : Ah, Diego! Come on, the ice may be thin, but it's strong enough to hold a 10 ton mammoth and a nine ton possum.

• Manfred : Hey. Who said you kids could torture the sloth?

  Diego : Manny, don't squash their creativity.

  Sid : Hey, Manny, Diego, my bad mammal-jammals. Want to give the sloth a hand?

• Diego : [to the water]  I am NOT your prey. I am NOT your prey. I am NOT... YOUR... PREY.

  [jumps in] 

• Sid : [the group has just escaped from Cretaceous and Maelstrom, the two sea reptiles]  What in the animal kingdom was "that"?

  Diego : I don't know. But from now on, land safe, water... not safe.

• Manfred : [looking for Ellie]  Have you seen a mammoth?

  Shovelmouth Male : No, sorry.

  Manfred : Have you seen a mammoth?

  Freaky Female : No, no I haven't.

  Diego : Possum, about eleven foot tall?

  Aardvark Mom : Uh-uh.

• Manfred : And so, in the end, the little burro reached his mommy, and they lived happily ever after.

  [Children cheer] 

  Diego : Good job.

  Beaver Boy : Question. Why does the burro go home? Why doesn't he stay with the rabbits?

  Manfred : Because... because he wanted to be with his family.

  Diego's Bird Girl : I think he should go with the girl burro. That's a better love story.

  Manfred : Okay. Well, when you tell your burro story, that's what he'll do.

  Elk Boy : Burro is a demeaning name. Technically it's called a wild ass.

  Manfred : Fine. The wild ass boy went home to his wild ass mother.

  [Children laugh] 

  Manfred : See, that's why I called it a burro!

• Diego : Big mistake, you miscreants!

  Eddie : Miscreants?

  [starts laughing along with Crash] 

  Sid : Uh, Diego, they are possums.

• Sid : [explaining the meaning of fear]  Jealously, mostly. But the point is that fear is natural.

  Diego : [approaches Sid and glares at him]  Fear is for prey.

  Sid : Then what means the water has made you its prey.

• Sid : Look, I opened my camp! "Campo del Sid". It means Camp of Sid.

  Diego : Congratulations. You're now an idiot in "two" languages.

  Sid : Shh! Not in front of the K-I-D-Z. These little guys love me. Right, Billy?

  Glypto Boy Billy : Don't make me eat you.

  Sid : Ah, they kid. That's why they're called "kids"!

• Sid : Hey, Manny. I've heard you're going extinct!

  [eats some blueberries and licks his claws] 

  Diego : Hey. If you ever master hygiene, try working on sensitiviy.

  Manfred : [to Sid]  I'm not going extinct!

  Aardvark Dad : [to his children]  Kids, look. The "last" mammoth.

  Aardvark Kids : [suprised]  Woah!

  Aardvark Dad : Now you probably won't see another one of "those" again! See?
