Careful, men. That's far enough.

I was right.

It's definitely the thigh bone of a giant Smellisaurus.

Nobody move. The slightest disturbance could shatter this specimen.

(coughing) OK, who did that?

(man) We must have hit an underground pocket of gas.

It's a dinosaur egg!

It must have been uncovered by the explosion.

This could be the greatest find in history!

We must get this back to the museum at once.

Careful with that egg, men. It's millions of years old.

I can't wait to write a 50-page research paper about it.

(thud)

Hey, look what followed me home!

I tried to make him go away,

but he just insisted on coming with me.

Oh, no, not another one!

Isn't he cute?

(yapping)

You've gotta stop bringing animals home all the time. We don't have room for...

Oh, he likes you. Can I keep him? He wouldn't be any trouble.

That's what you said about the frog that tried to eat Zipper.

And the baby kitten that used me for a scratching post.

I can't help it that animals like me.

You mean like the goldfish you said followed you home?

A pet is a big responsibility, Dale.

Especially when he's bigger than you are.

I'll take care of him every minute of the day,

and I'll see to it that he never makes a mess.

Well, almost never.

Dale, this puppy has a collar with a tag on it.

He must belong to some little boy or girl.

You take him back where you found him right away.

Oh...

(sighs)

(yelps)

(panting)

(speaks alien language)

Drop it right now!

(sighs)

Oh, boy! A lizard.

I bet you'd like to stay with me, wouldn't you?

(girl) Raffles! Here, Raffles!

(yapping)

Raffles, you're back! I missed you so much.

Must be great to have a pet.

Hey, why don't you...? Come back here, you lizard!

I want you for my science project.

Uh-oh.

This way now.

You're trapped now.

(crunch) Ow! Mama!

(crying)

I guess he wanted you for a pet. Say, you'd make a great...

No, I'd better not. They'd never let me keep you.

You'd better go home now. OK?

Hey, what are you doing? No! Go home! Shoo!

Gosh, he's cute.

Read my lips! Go home!

Oh, I guess I'll never see him again. (gasps)

(makes slurping noises)

Looks like the coast is clear.

We're gonna have to hide you in my room.

Come on, Dale, shake your tail. We've got a mission.

(feigning sickness) You'd better go without me.

You already missed breakfast. Are you OK?

I don't feel good.

I'll probably be OK as soon as you're gone.

I mean, by the time you get back.

Well, all right. If you're sure you're OK.

I hope I'm not coming down with something, too.

(door closes)

Yippee! Now I got all day to play with my new pet.

Now, when I say, "Roll over," you roll over, like this.

That's great. Now try it again.

Roll over. Come on, roll over.

Roll over. Roll over. Roll...

(crash)

That's a good idea.

I'll teach you to fetch a stick.

Now fetch.

OK, now you try it.

Now wait a minute. There's something wrong here.

I bet you're hungry. Wait here.

(roaring)

Hmm...

I don't know what lizards eat,

so I brought a little of everything.

Gosh, you are hungry. I'd better get some more food.

This is the last of the... Aah!

Oh, no! You got big.

(Chip) Phew, what a mission! Uh-oh, they're back.

Remember that trick I taught you? Freeze!

I don't know what went wrong with the Ranger plane...

Dale! Shouldn't you be in bed?

I, uh, slept out here on the sofa.

40 winks sounds like just the ticket.

Ooh...

Yeah... A bit lumpy.

(nervous chuckle)

We had terrible problems with the Ranger plane

on the way back.

Yeah, a faulty wing flap was causing it to roll over.

Don't say that. Don't say what?

"Roll over."

Aah!

(gasps)

It's a dinosaur!

No, it's not. It's my pet lizard.

You dummy! It looks just like the picture of the dinosaur on your comic book.

He's too small to be a dinosaur.

Maybe he's a baby dinosaur.

In any case, we'll have to find out where it came from.

Can I keep him as a pet until then? I suppose so.

Oh, boy! I'm gonna name him Steggy.

But you'll have to be responsible for him.

I will. I'll feed him and teach him tricks and...

But all he wants to do is watch TV

and look at comic books.

Sounds like the perfect pet for you.

This is a real mystery.

There haven't been any dinosaurs for millions of years.

Oh, yeah? Then what did he do, drop out of the sky?

We interrupt this second-rate monster movie for a news bulletin.

Scientists at the City Museum of Natural History

today reported a dramatic discovery -

a dinosaur egg in perfect condition.

(squeals)

(thud/crash)

(Dale) Wait! Wait! (Monty) Come back!

Yuck!

(squeaks)

Oh, no!

Don't worry, mates. I'll save him.

(grunting)

OK, start worrying.

(machinery whirring and clanking)

Come on.

Are you all right?

Right as rain, Gadget, love, and twice as wet.

(Chip) I wonder why he ran off like that.

I don't know. But he's gonna have to learn to be careful.

Yeah, he could get hurt. Look out!

Wow! We could have been flattened.

No kidding. It's a good thing that...

(all) He talked!

Yes. I've learned your language

by studying your Earth literature.

What do you mean, "Earth literature"?

He means my comic books.

Zowie!

Then you're not really a dinosaur at all.

I am a dinosaur,

but I come from another planet in a galaxy far, far away.

We have lived there happily for millions of centuries.

Hidden in the clearings of our swamp-like environment,

we have built cities to house our population,

where we have learned to live together in perfect harmony.

There have been no wars, no fighting on our planet for thousands of years,

for we have learned to be content with what we have.

And through the years, our artists and scientists

have contributed to our busy society,

making our lives meaningful and complete.

We have even studied the stars of the sky

and developed our own space program

to explore the planets of the galaxies around us.

One planet in particular had the requirements necessary

to support our life forms -

the planet you call Earth.

Millions of years ago,

we launched a fleet of spacecraft to travel to this planet.

We maintained radio contact with them

until soon after they landed here.

Then, without warning, all communication ceased.

With the failure of our space program,

we were too fearful to continue exploring the planets

and abandoned future space research.

But I was determined to find out what happened to my ancestors,

so, outfitting our last spaceship

with a large supply of food packets,

I traveled across the universe to see for myself.

Meanwhile, at the Natural History Museum,

my spaceship is being mistaken for a dinosaur egg.

The dinosaur egg they found is a spaceship?!

Zowie!

(Gadget) Just a few more adjustments...

I want to thank you for saving me

from that evil villain who tried to capture me.

That's what rescue rangers are for.

Besides, now that we're friends,

we can play a whole lotta neat games.

Perhaps. I'm afraid your games of fetch and roll over

are a bit too simple for me.

The Ranger plane is ready to fly.

Great. Where do I sit?

I seem to be gaining some unwanted pounds.

(Chip) Imagine how big you'll be when full-grown.

But I was already full-grown when I left my planet.

(all) What?!

(engine sputtering)

(screaming)

Yeow!

Yeow! Yikes!

Sorry about that landing.

That's all right, Gadget, love.

I'm starting to get used to it.

Ow! Anybody seen Steggy?

It must have escaped from the reptile exhibit.

(scientist) This way, men.

They must be after Steggy. We gotta find him first.

Right-o, mate. But where?

Zowie. So this is what you turned into.

(Chip) Steggy, we gotta get out of here.

I found out what happened to the lost colony.

Something here on the Earth made them grow to giant size.

But as their bodies grew big, their brains grew small,

and they got... got, um...

What did they get?

Dumb? Yeah. Yeah, that's it, dumb.

As they got bigger, they got... What was that again?

Gosh, Steggy's brain must be getting smaller.

First, they got dumber, and then they... No. No, wait.

No, first, they got bigger, and then... No, that's not right.

You'd better stay here with Dale while we try to find your spaceship.

Right, I'll stay here with, um...

What was your name again?

I swear, Dr. Piltdown,

it was a big lizard, like a baby dinosaur.

If this is a joke, I'll have you put in charge of the children's group tours.

Anything but that, Doc!

If you find anything, I'll be in my lab.

All right, Steggy, roll over.

Gosh, you can't remember anything now except the tricks I taught you.

(excited panting)

Oh, you used to think those games were too simple.

All right, Steggy, fetch.

No, Steggy, don't fetch!

Huh?

We gotta get outta here, pal!

Somebody might have heard those bones falling.

Oh, no!

Wait till Doc Piltdown gets a load of this.

(grunting)

He won't get away this time.

I'd better get help.

Keep an eye on him till I get back with Dr. Piltdown.

If you were a spaceship, where would you be?

Outer space? (Chip) Somebody's coming.

I can't wait to see what's in that egg.

(panicky squeaking)

(guard over PA) Will Dr. Piltdown

please come to the Dinosaur Room immediately?

Well, this had better be important.

(Zipper squeaks in pain)

Come on, Zipper, let's go.

Now that we're up here, how do we get inside?

Shh.

Hmm.

It's no use, mates.

We're sure to make noise breaking inside this baby.

(gasps)

Good work, Monty.

Wow! All this inside a little old egg.

I'll bet this is easy to fly.

(spaceship powering up)

(both scream)

I can't find them anywhere.

I guess I'll have to find Steggy on my own.

After all, he is my responsibility.

If you're right, this will make another terrific research paper.

I swear, Doc, we've caught it this time.

And it's even bigger than I remembered.

Oh, no!

(burps)

Steggy, remember the tricks I taught you?

Freeze.

A Stegosaurus has a brain the size of a walnut.

You should be so lucky.

You've roped one of our dinosaur models!

You see? Nothing but plastic.

(roars)

We'll get him, Doc.

Roll over, Steggy!

(all scream)

(panting)

This is incredible!

You're up, Steggy.

(roars)

I've got it! I've got it!

Are you all right, Monty? Never better.

Been taller, however.

We've gotta get outta here.

(Dr. Piltdown) The creature's in my lab.

There's a bunch of guys chasing us!

Don't you ever stop eating, Steggy?

He's probably missed having food from his own planet.

Hey!

The growth process is reversing.

Yeah, and he's getting smaller.

It must be the food from my old planet that keeps me small.

Hey, you're getting smarter, too.

He won't get away this time, men.

(all scream)

That's it, Steggy. Show him how a dinosaur flies.

I don't think I'll write that research paper after all.

(whoosh)

(whoosh)

Well, it's 83 kazillion miles back to my planet.

I'd better get moving before rush hour.

My people will be interested in learning what really happened to their ancestors.

(disappointed sigh)

Oh, Dale? Yeah?

I'd like it very much if you'd come and live with me on my planet...

Oh, yeah? but I'm not allowed to have any pets.

(laughter)

Well, maybe he couldn't handle the responsibility.
