Quotes 

  • Guy : Once upon a time, there was a beautiful tiger. She lived in a cave with the rest of her family. Her father and mother told her: "You may go anywhere you want, but never go near the cliff, for you could fall."

    Grug : And die. Good story.

    [the others start to leave but Guy goes on and they sit back down] 

    Guy : But when no one was looking, she'd go near the cliff, for the closer she came to the edge, the more could she hear, the more could she see, the more she could feel. Finally, she stood at the very edge. She saw a light. She leaned out to touch it... and she slipped.

    Grug : And she fell.

    Guy : And she *flew.*

    [the others gasp] 

    Thunk : Where did she fly?

    Guy : Tomorrow.

    Eep : Tomorrow?

    Guy : A place with more suns in the sky than you can count.

    Thunk : It would be so bright!

    Guy : A place not like today, or yesterday. A place where things are better.

    Grug : Tomorrow isn't a place. It's... it's... Ugh! You can't see it!

    Guy : Oh, yes, yes it is. I've seen it. That's where I'm going.

  • Grug : What is this stuff that saves you from my punches?

    Guy : [despairingly]  ... Tar.

    Grug : No!

    Guy : Please...

    Grug : I have to get back to them.

    Guy : Stop struggling!

    Grug : No!

    Guy : Grug, STOP! No one gets out of this. Believe me... I know.

    Grug : Your...

    Guy : Family. Yeah.

    Grug : ...Sorry.

    Guy : I was little when it happened. Last thing my parents told me was: "Don't hide. Live. Follow the sun. You'll make it to Tomorrow."

    Grug : You follow the light. My daughter is a lot like you.

    Guy : No. She's like you. She loves you, but always forgets to say it. Just like you forget to tell her.

  • Eep : Dad, I'm scared.

    Grug : *Never* be afraid.

  • Eep : [as Grug is about to throw her over the chasm]  No, I have too much to say to you. I need to fix everything, and I don't have time!

    Grug : I can fix it.

    [He pulls her into an embrace] 

    Eep : This works good. What do you call it?

    Grug : I was thinking of calling it... a hug. Uh, because it rhymes with Grug! But, uh, you can change it if you like.

    Eep : [laughing]  No, no. I like "hug."

  • Grug : No more dark. No more hiding. No more caves.

    [to Eep] 

    Grug : What's the point of all this? To follow the light. I can't change. I don't have ideas. But I have my strength. And right now, that's all you need.

    Ugga : No, we don't know what's over there. Maybe nothing! It's too risky!

    Grug : It's a chance.

    Guy : I'll take that chance.

    Grug : [picking Guy up]  You know, I've wanted to throw you away ever since I met you.

    Guy : Heh. That's a joke, right?

    Grug : [jokingly]  What's a joke?

    [throws him over to the other cliff] 

  • Ugga : Mom, we're ready to leave. Mom?

    [Silence, Grug Looks Hopefully] 

    Gran : Still alive!

    Grug : It's still early.

    Gran : And You're still fat!

  • Grug : [Smears mud on Thunk's face]  Painting is a thing of the past. I call this a "snapshot."

    [Hits Thunk on the face with a flat rock, leaving an impression of his face] 

    Thunk : [reeling]  Uh, let's do it again, I think I blinked.

  • Eep : I never got to tell him.

    Ugga : Eep, if your dad were here, he would tell you to...

    Grug : [from afar]  Get out of the way!

    Thunk : Wow. You sound just like him.

  • [repeated line] 

    Grug : Release the baby!

  • Ugga : What... is that on your head?

    Gran : It's called desperation.

    Grug : I call it a rug. Rhymes with Grug.

    [points to boulder] 

    Grug : And I call this one, a "ride." Rhymes with Grug!

    Guy : Uh, that doesn't rhyme...

  • Grug : I guess I was just busy keeping them all alive.

    Guy : It's okay. That's what dads do.

    Grug : That's right! But we can't do that from here. We need one of your ideas. Come on, you can do it.

    Guy : Belt! Emergency Idea Generator, activate!

    [Belt hits him in the head with a rock] 

    Guy : OW! Ooh! I've got it!

  • Grug : [after Guy hands out shells so they can "call" each other]  I don't see why the kids need their own shells.

  • Grug : Splitting up is a bad idea, it is much safer if we stay together

    [Notices Guy and Eep very close and separates them] 

    Grug : Except for you two. You need to be separate.

  • Grug : [as they're about to cross water]  Eep, looks dangerous.

    Eep : [exasperated]  Dad, you say that about everything!

    [she steps toward the water] 

    Guy : Careful!

    Eep : Oh. *Really?* Okay.

    [Grug gasps in disbelief] 

  • Grug : I... have... an... IDEA!

  • Grug : Three days is not forever!

    Eep : It is with this family.

  • [repeated line] 

    Grug : Never *not* be afraid!

  • Grug : What were you doing up there?

    Eep : I don't know.

    Grug : What were you looking for?

    Eep : Nothing.

    Grug : Why did you go there?

    Eep : I don't know!

    Grug : Why don't you know?

  • [repeated line] 

    Grug : [counting everyone]  One, two, three, four, five...

    [sighs] 

    Grug : six.

  • Grug : [On a giant stone lever]  And I call this one, a "Lifterator!"

    Eep : Mom...?

    Ugga : It's... I know, it's bad.

    [Grug launches himself high into the sky and gets hit by lightning] 

    Gran : I almost feel sorry for him.

    [Grug falls down and gets run over by the boulder] 

    Gran : Oh-hohoho, no, I don't!

  • Grug : We're going tooooo... That mountain. Don't ask me why, just a hunch, just feels right.

    Ugga : I dunno, Grug. We've never really walked that far.

    Thunk : Yeah, I don't think my feet can do that.

    Gran : I'll never live long enough to get there.

    Grug : [grinning at Gran's declaration]  Lets do it!

  • Grug : [when thunk attempts to eat a large piece of popcorn]  No-no, don't eat it, it's new!

  • Guy : You're being irrational and counter-productive!

    Grug : Big words anger me! Keep talking!

  • Grug : I, AM, A, CAVE-MAN!

  • Grug : [from a distance]  GET OUT OF THE WAY!

    Thunk : [to Eep]  Wow, you sound just like him.

    Grug : GET OUT OF THE WAY!

  • Grug : Thunk?

    Thunk : [nervously]  Sorry, Dad.

  • Guy : Your call, Grug.

    Grug : Take us to Tomorrow.

  • Grug : No, no, not cool!

  • [after the conch has been obliterated by the Crood family] 

    Eep : What is wrong with you?

    Grug : It was dangerous!

    Eep : It was beautiful! You want to see dangerous, here!

    [throws the piece and hits Thunk in the nose] 

    Thunk : Ow! My sniffer!

    Grug : Okay, Eep, that's it! We're going back to the cave and you're gonna stay in there until you're older than... Uh, you know... HER!

    Eep : What? You can't keep me inside forever!
