The Croods: Family Tree

‐ Oh, man, I'm so hungry I could eat a crowverine stuffed into a pigator

stuffed into a kangadillo.

‐ Mm! Crowverpigadillo.

‐ Dinner is served.

‐ And dinner is done.

‐ No!

‐ Uh, what's the rush?

‐ We have to get to bed.

Because we're very tired.

Isn't that right, Hope?

‐ Right, Phil. Tired. So tired!

‐ I'm so exhausted I can barely keep my eyes open.

‐ Really? 'Cause you seem pumped.

‐ That's a symptom of extreme fatigue.

It's worse than I thought. Good night.

‐ Aha!

Ohh!

‐ Second dinner is served.

Hey, anyone else notice,

the Bettermans were acting kinda weird, huh?

Especially Phil.

‐ To be fair, Phil always acts weird.

‐ Maybe they're just tired.

‐ Before the sun goes down?

‐ Sure. Living on a farm isn't easy.

‐ Uh, we live on a farm and we are still awake.

‐ I bet Hope made a secret dessert she doesn't wanna share with us.

But Sandy will find it.

Won't you, Sandy?

‐ Or they're just tired.

‐ What if they met a new family and they're replacing us?

What if we have to move?

What if Dawn has a new best friend?

‐ What if you're overreacting just a bit?

‐ What if they have a giant window they're keeping to themselves?

And they have trained punch monkeys to wait on them hand and foot

while they watch wall‐to‐wall window action?

‐ You're all wrong.

There's a full moon tonight.

That's when the Bettermans turn into

half‐man, half‐bear, half‐fish beasts!

‐ Too many halves.

‐ 'Cause they were bitten by bearacudas!

And that made them wereacudas!

‐ Wereacudas?

‐ Oh. Is that why they're sneaking around up there?

‐ Let's go. No noise.

‐ Come on, guys, there's no such thing as‐‐

wereacudas.

‐ Hey, guys. I took the elevator.

‐ Pipe down!

‐ Here's the plan. I grab Phil.

Ugga, you wrap up Hope.

Eep, you're on Dawn patrol. Mm‐hmm.

Thunk, try not to get bitten.

‐ And, most importantly, aim for the gills!

‐ Or we could just talk to them because the Bettermans aren't wereacudas.

‐ Aw, I love that you always see the bright side, Guy‐Boy.

But this time it might get us killed.

So less talking, more stalking.

‐ Ooh. Are you sure you want to do that?

Just trying to help.

‐ Don't listen to him, Mom.

Dad's just trying to mess with your head.

‐ Way ahead of him, Dawn. We're married, remember?

That means I'm Phil‐proof.

Eh!

‐ Ha! I win!

Ah, the delicious nectar of victory.

You two know how sweet it is.

Oh, wait, you don't.

Because I am and always shall be undefeated.

‐ Phil, you promised you wouldn't do that.

‐ Do what, dear? Win?

‐ No, be a bad sport.

You said tonight would be all fun, no gloating, remember?

‐ Did I?

‐ Yes! That's why Dawn and I are here.

But you haven't changed at all.

‐ Yeah, Dad. You're making a shame night of game night.

Game night?

‐ Oh, yeah, game night. Ha, ha!

I remember this from when I was a kid.

The Bettermans used to invite my family over to play games.

It was‐‐ It was so much fun.

‐ Sure, because games are fun.

‐ So no wereacudas here, Mom. Just games.

‐ What's a wereacuda?

‐ Part‐man, part‐bear, part‐fish‐‐

Eh, you know the parts, 'cause you are one!

Get 'em!

‐ Anyway, I like games.

‐ Yeah, not a fan of games.

It's too much work.

But I'm a big fan of game snacks.

Mm! Banana chips. It's not bad.

But I'm not gonna settle.

I'm gonna find the ultimate game snack.

Because that is my destiny.

‐ Uh, why didn't you invite us? We like fun.

‐ Me too!

That's why I like games.

‐ I just assumed you wouldn't be interested.

These games are more cerebral than corporeal.

Brain, not brawn.

Ohh!

‐ So it was for your own good.

After all, strategy and concentration,

and, well, thinking aren't exactly your cup of bitter leaf juice.

‐ From what I remember, game night is for everyone.

‐ I like games! My brain good. Grug play.

‐ You're proving my point.

So if you'll excuse us,

Hope and Dawn are eager to challenge my winning streak.

‐ No, Phil. You blew it.

I'm done playing games with you tonight.

‐ Yeah, Dad. I've lost my game face.

‐ Good news, Croods.

A seat at the table just opened up.

You have no chance of defeating me, but it's all in good fun.

Welcome to game night!

‐ I'm playing first.

Stack Sticks is quite simple.

Take a stick from the bottom and put it on top

without toppling the stack.

Like so.

If I factor the stick's exit angle,

calculate removal velocity

to maintain the stack's structural integrity,

then consider the load‐bearing sticks below it,

I choose

this one.

Advantage, Phil.

Your turn, Grug.

‐ Ha! I can do that.

‐ And I win.

‐ What? But I barely touched it.

‐ Yes. That's the way the stack sticks stumble.

Point, me.

‐ I'm playing again.

‐ In the game of Rock, Leaf, Sharp Rock,

rock beats sharp rock,

sharp rock beats leaf and leaf beats rock.

Touch one when I say go.

Go!

Leaf beats rock. I win.

‐ Leaf beats rock? Pfft.

That's ridiculous.

Rock beats everything.

‐ Not in this game.

Point, me.

‐ I'm playing again!

‐ Honey, maybe someone else should play.

‐ My turn!

Finally, the blue shells move diagonally

while the red shells move vertically.

And that's the Shell Game.

Any questions?

‐ Nope. I got it.

‐ You moved right into my trap.

Point, me! I win!

Which means I get to wear the winner's crown.

Yes!

No... one... beats... the... Phil!

‐ Pfft! Big whoop.

These games are stupid.

Let's go, Croods. We have more important things to do.

‐ Like stopping the wereacudas!

Get 'em!

‐ Boy, this brings back memories.

Thank you for a lovely game night.

‐ I gotta say, Grug, you handled losing better than I expected.

I'm proud of you.

‐ Aw, thanks.

Now I'll be busy for the next few days practicing games

until I can beat Phil because nothing else matters.

‐ And there it is.

It's just like the time that crowverine beat you in a race.

‐ Just because you beat me doesn't mean you won!

‐ You're just a bad loser, Grug.

So I want you to walk away from this.

‐ But I‐‐

Okay, I'll walk away.

‐ Thank you.

‐ I'll walk away right after I beat Phil.

‐ That's the spirit, Dad.

We're with you all the way.

Beat Phil! Beat Phil!

‐ Yeah! Beat Phil! Beat Phil! Beat Phil! Beat Phil!

‐ Eep, what are you doing?

If Grug loses, won't he tear down the tree house?

‐ Look, we'll never stop him.

So we might as well help him beat Phil.

‐ So you think Grug can win?

‐ Oh, no. Dad can't beat Phil in brain games.

But I can beat Phil with the timeout club.

So you lure him into the living room and, boom, Dad wins.

‐ So your plan is to hit Phil with a club?

Maybe we should go talk to Phil instead.

‐ Okay, but it'll be tough to talk to Phil while he's in timeout.
