Eureka!

Let the rocks roll!

I've got it!

"Tusks, trouble, and all."

Woo-hoo!

Love your new invention, Eureka.

It's megalithic.

I call 'em Rock 'n Rollers.

Barry, Pepper, what was that?

Uh...

Something we should ride away from.

Or right into.

Aww...

I think that poor guy is stuck.

That is not a poor guy.

That's a...

woolly mammoth.

Don't be afraid.

Don't you worry, big guy.

We'll figure something out.

Just hold on.

I'm thinkering.

Need to lift more weight.

But how? With what?

Vines do the pulling.

Wheels for easy lifting.

Yep.

We'll make a Wooly Pulley.

Eureka?

- I've got it! - Yeah!

Now...

Pull!

Yeah, lemme get that for you.

It's working!

"Murphy!"

Did you just say "Murphy?"

"Murphy!"

"Murphy!"

Well, that's what I'll call you.

Murphy, I'm Eureka.

Ooh!

The whole shebang.

Oh! You're left-tusked.

I'm left-handed.

We have so much in common.

I mean, other than you're a woolly mammoth and I'm a kid,

but, you know, practically everything else.

Well, you're free now.

You can go on home.

Maybe he doesn't have anywhere to go.

Murphy? You're all alone in the world?

Then you're coming home with me.

My home will be your home.

Eureka?

You can't take a mammoth home.

Why not?

He can be a part of my family.

He'll be our pet.

An extra big and cuddly one.

No one has ever kept a mammoth in a home before.

Well, there's got to be a first time for everything.

Eureka, do you always have to do things so differently?

Does everyone else always have to do things the same?

You're thinkering what I'm thinkering, aren't you?

Woo-hoolly mammoth!

What is not to love?

Uh, I mean, the size, the tusks, the woolly, the everything.

The size, the tusks, the woolly, the everything.

Eureka, sweetheart, you can't keep a mammoth in the house.

Please? I, I love him so much already.

And he won't cause any trouble.

Starting now, he won't cause any trouble.

Starting now.

What is Eureka up to this time?

Okay.

We'll give this mammoth a chance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You won't regret this! Thank you!

Okay.

Let me show you around your new home.

You're gonna love it here.

I'll make you a mammoth bed,

a hook to hang your trunk on when you're tired.

Uh-oh.

Eureka?

How are you going to keep him as a pet

if you can't even get him in the house?

Where there is a mammoth and a girl who loves him,

there is a way.

Pretty sure it's not going to be a normal way.

Too mammoth.

Attaboy, back that cute big back up.

Alrighty.

Maybe we just need some speed.

Let's rock 'n roll.

Are you okay?

Why don't we focus on promise number two for a sec?

Cleaning you.

Get the plants.

Oh, thank you, Murphy.

Good one, big guy

All right, you two, sun's coming down.

That's bedtime.

Um... You know what?

I think Murphy and I will camp out tonight.

I feel like sleeping under the stars.

Well, we'll be right inside if you need us, sweetheart.

Doesn't that look a little...

maybe if you look at it sideways, and close one eye, like a mammoth?

Yes!

That one does look like a girl twirling a pencil.

They belong together.

You and me, we're both a little different.

You're a wild mammoth who wants to be my pet,

and I'm a girl who wants to do things that have never been done before.

We belong together too.

Just like the stars.

Good morning, Murphy!

It's a brand-new day,

and I have got a brand-new idea to get you in the house.

Instead of walking on four legs,

which is not working if we're being honest,

let's get radical and try two legs.

Up! Up!

One giant foot at a time. That's it!

You've got this!

Think small, Murphy.

Pull in those lil' arms in, hunch those lil' shoulders.

Whoa...

No.

Uh... No!

Murphy!

Wait! Uh, Murphy, it's, it's okay.

It was an accident!

We can keep trying!

Need some help? - You're not mad?

You're fixing it, aren't you?

- And I kinda miss the big guy. - What?

But not all the woolly or, or the tusks or the drool,

but the other stuff.

The way he tried so hard to make us happy.

Come on, let's walk.

But, Dad, how can we keep him as a pet

if I can't even get him in the house?

All the people who doubted me, they were right.

It's impossible, foolish, ridiculous!

I mean, even Murphy doesn't think I can do it.

Doing something new and big is never easy.

Now, everyone knows me as the pottery wiz of Rocky Falls, right?

Well, here's the first bowl I ever tried to make.

Yup, I did not get it right the first time,

or the second, or the third.

Wow, those were all supposed to be bowls?

Yup.

The creative process can be long and wobbly.

But I kept working it.

And sometimes, you just have to look at the problem differently.

I have to look at it differently.

Hmm.

Let me thinker.

A spinning wheel that goes down and up again

could be just the thing to give Murph a new way in.

Dad?

Eureka!
