-[screams, grunts] -[snarling]

-[rumbling] -[all panting]

* *

-[rumbling] -We're almost there!

We're gonna make it!

[slow motion yelling]

[all scream]

-[Sandy panting] -[Phil grunts]

-Whoa. What is that? -I think you mean

whois that?

[gasps] It's a new person!

A new person!

-Also, we're alive!

[laughs] Alive!

[all cheering]

-Surviving an orb?

New ice guy? Or girl?

This is too much good news at once!

-I'm dizzy. -Head between your knees, Dawn.

[yelps, grunts]

-Whatever's in there,

it's frozen solid, and it's never waking up.

-Not so fast, Gran. The ice may have put

this poor soul in suspended animation,

but I, Phil Betterman,

will bring our mystery guest back to life!

-So, that means we'll have a new friend on the farm?

ALL: Yes!

ALL: No!

-Why's everyone screaming?

-[Let's live wild, the world's our own]

[We built this wheel now it's gunna roll]

[You know a spark becomes a fire wherever we go]

[Whoa-ho-ho]

[Stuck together, stuck, stuck together]

[It's an evolution for worse or for better]

[To find some unity]

[For all humanity]

[Because we're stuck together]

[In one big family tree]

-Behold as the Betterman Melt Machine

thaws this frozen soul and returns it

-to the realm of the living! -Hm...

-Grug! That steam is for melting, not cooking!

-Why can't it be both? -Guys! Look!

-Are we sure about this?

What if he's some aimless drifter

who wandered in the wild for years,

and now he's gonna impose himself, uninvited,

on a well-intentioned group of strangers?

And what is he wearing? I mean, put on a shirt! Am I right?

-Guy-baby, are you jealous of the frozen guy?

-No. [scoffs]

-Hm...

-Hwam! -What's that, Mom?

-I'm saying Hwam!

Because that's his name.

He was my boyfriend.

[all gasp]

-Why is everyone so quiet?

-Before you all start asking a bunch of dumb questions,

here's the story!

He was the love of my life.

We met on the battlefield.

I took his weapon,

and then he took my heart.

We both loved exploring and fighting,

so we were gonna run off together to see the world

and then beat it up!

I waited for him for three days,

but he never showed.

And I was never dumb enough to trust a man again.

-[crack, thud] -Huh?

-And now, you can! Thanks to me!

He's alive!

[groaning]

[all yelling]

[growling, yelling]

-Whoa! It's okay, Hwam! We're not gonna hurt you.

-[slowly] Hwam...

This is Phil Betterman speaking.

I gave you life,

so--

-Meat stick as a weapon?

What can'tmeat stick do?

[gasping]

-[slow motion] You're our new friend!

[gasps, yells]

-He seems nice.

[screaming]

-What's going on? Where am I? Who are you people?

[Gran grunts]

-Hwam.

-Gran?

[growls]

-Why! Did! You! Ditch! Me!

[screaming]

-I didn't ditch you!

I was on my way to meet you,

and I stopped to get a bouquet of bones!

There was a rumble, I look up, and hwam!

Just like my name. Avalanche!

Next thing I know, I'm waking up, and you're punching me!

-I'm not buying it, No Show.

-It's true! Here! I can prove it!

Look at this. [grunts] Huh?

-Alligoater bones?

My favorite. [sniffs]

-Just checking to see if there's any meat on these bones.

-[growls] -You know what?

I can check later. You're having a moment.

-I guess being frozen in ice for years

makes you work up an appetite!

-Nope. He always ate like this.

-This place is amazing! When you're hungry,

there's food to eat. How'd you do that,

and why would you ever stop eating?

-We grow it, and we stop eating when we're full.

-Grow? Full?

I don't get it, but I believe you! And you made all of this?

-Uh, yes? [gasps]

Ew! What are you doing? What's happening?

-Where I'm from, the food was scarce

and raw and-and not good!

Nothing like this. What's it called again?

-That, my friend, is pie.

-Pie? Pie! -[loud eating]

[mouth full] Well, it's the most delicious thing

this mouth's ever tasted!

-I like him! He can stay.

-Hey, Hwam! Check this out.

[grunts]

-[loud chewing] -[Grug gasps]

-[slurp] Mm...

-That... was... awesome!

How did you do that? Teach me.

-Sure thing. Watch my--

-Gah! -[all gasp]

Sorry. Thought I heard a bearacuda. Watch my mouth!

-Hey, when you're done deboning that meat,

maybe I can show you around the farm.

-We'll come, too! -Yeah! New person!

This is the most exciting day of my life.

After the day yougot here.

You'll always be my favorite new person.

-I was new once.

-Stick with me, Hwam.

I know where all the good stuff is.

-Back off, you bloodsuckers!

We haven't seen each other since fire was invented.

We need to catch up.

Alone!

[human-like screaming]

-[gasps] What are they?

-These are, uh, chicken things.

-They do something around here. -Amazing!

[grunts] Hello, chicken things!

-Sorry, Hwam.

We don't hunt these animals. [laughs]

-We don't hunt him either.

-What about the slow, confident rats?

-Sorry! They're off-limits, too.

-Farm's not all bad, though.

You get used to it. Sort of.

And what are you two doing?

I said alone!

Get outta here!

HWAM: So, you don't live in a cave? You live there?

-Yeah, that's home now. Sorry it's a dump.

-No. It's unbelievable!

But, don't you miss caves?

-Caves? Don't be ridiculous.

Welcome to modern living, courtesy of Phil Betterman!

I'm also the one who brought you back from the dead, so...

-First of all, you have two names?

Wow! Second, I'm going to climb your home now.

-Uh, no need to climb. There's a better way.

Or should I say a Betterman way.

-Ah...

Whoa... [grunting]

-I call it the Betterman Elevator!

It takes you up.

-Wow. A wooden cave that moves. Okay!

-Time to climb! -Make a path, Top Knot!

-No! You take the elevator up instead of...

Wait. Why does this seem so familiar?

[gasps] Grug! Stop climbing up the tree!

Use the elevator!

-Aw, but Hwam's doing it!

[Thunk laughing]

-[grunting] -[Thunk screams]

-Who are you? -I'm Hwam! We met.

I was the guy frozen in the block of ice.

-Uh, sorry. Not ringing any bells.

Wait. You were frozen in a block of ice? Weird.

There was this other guy who was frozen

in a block of ice earlier.

Big day for ice guys, I guess.

[chewing]

-What are you looking at?

-Just watching some window.

[yell, grunting]

-That's the outside! But we're inside!

-Yeah. Isn't it great?

-Yes. I just wish I could see more

to make sure nothing's sneaking up on us.

Ah. [grunts]

-There. What do you think? -Ah...

[gasps]

[high-pitched note]

-[birds chirping] -THUNK: I can see... everything!

Hwam, I know we just met,

but there will always be a place for you on my couch

and in my heart.

GRAN: Huh?

[ice clinking]

HWAM: [gasps] What kind of cave is this?

-Pretty sweet, right?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! It's me! Your bone bro!

-Oh! Yeah! Bone bro! [laughs]

-I thought you were fire. -Grug! Are you following us?

-Me? No.

-I was just behind you the whole time.

-What is that? -That's the battle cage.

It's where I practice fighting.

[yells, grunts]

-Ah! Attack!

-[yelling] -[punching]

Ah!

This isn't alive!

-I know. That's the best part.

It's fighting without danger.

-Amazing! -So were those moves!

Teach me...

-Sure! Here's lesson one.

Lesson two! Stop following us!

-See you later, punch pal! -Yeah! Can't wait!

Maybe later today? I'm available. All day.

No presh!

-And that's my favorite teeth hole.

-Okay, tour's over. -I can't believe

you settled down in one place.

You, settled down.

-I know. Far cry from the life of adventure

I thoughtI'd be living. With you.

-So let's go. -Go? Where?

-To eat. Just you, me, and whatever we catch.

-Mm, you're on.

I'll go grab us some weapons. Meet you at the lagoon.

-The lagoon doesn't have avalanches, does it?

Also, what's a lagoon?

[ice clinking]

-I think it's so sweet--

Ow! That Gran and Hwam were--

Gah! Reunited after all this time.

Ow! Why are burnips so hot?!

-I hope I meet someone, fall in love,

and then that person gets frozen--

Ow! For a really long time,

but then thaws out, and we get back together.

Ow!

UGGA: Sure. Or you realize that

you're completely different people than you used to be.

I mean, a lot has changed since they were together.

What if it doesn't work out? What if Gran gets hurt?

-Can Gran get hurt?

One time, I saw a boulder fall on her, and she just giggled.

-What do we even know about this guy? I mean--

Ouch! Just shows up--

Ah! Out of nowhere--

Oh! And expects us to trust him?

-We trusted you, Guy-boy.

-[muffled] Mm. Totally different situations. Night and day.

-[Gran mumbling] -Gran?

Why are you helping yourself to all of my good knives?

-Hwam and I are going on a hunt picnic!

Eat or be eaten, like the good old days.

-Aw! That sounds romantic.

-Mom, are you sure about this?

I mean, are you sure you and Hwam

should just pick up where you left off?

-I'm glad you asked that

because it's none of your business!

-Wait! Gran! You can't go on a picnic like that.

This calls for some Betterman bettering!

-Huh? -Yes! I love a project!

* *

-I'm glad you invited me to talk to Hwam.

-I didn't invite you.

-Exactly! I don't trust this guy either.

[grunts, gasps]

-[grunts] Attack forest?

-Neat! -UGGA: Hey, Hwam.

We haven't had much of a chance

to get to know each other. Tell us about yourself.

-Well-- -Yeah, enough chit-chat.

I'd like to know your intentions with my mom.

-Tell her your intentions!

-Coming in a little hot there, Guy.

-My intentions with Gran?

Well, I guess I just want her to be happy.

-And. -Yeah! And?!

-That's it.

-Huh. That's actually a good answer.

-It's the perfect answer.

Perfect for hiding something.

What are you hiding, Hwam?

-Answer me! -Guy.

I need you to take it down a notch.

-I get it, Ugga Crood. You don't know me.

You have no reason to trust me.

But, I love your mom. I've loved her from the moment

she tried to gouge my eyes out and keep them as trophies.

Nothing has changed.

-For you, but a lot has changed for her.

Aside from the gouging part. She has a family now.

-I know, but what's important to Gran is important to me.

I'd never let anything bad happen to any of you.

-[snap] -Hm?

And I'd never let anything bad happen to your mom.

She means the world to me,

which is why I can't keep her waiting again.

-Hm. I like him. -I know.

-I don't trust him either. -Just wondering,

has there ever been a avalanche at the lagoon?

[ice clinking]

GRAN: This is dumb!

Only reason I'm letting you do this is to shut you up!

-I think you're doing this because you wanna impress Hwam.

-I never said that!

-You didn't have to. We can see it in your eyes.

-Stop looking at my eyes or I'll gouge out yours!

-[gasps] -Don't worry, Gran.

Hwam's jaw is gonna drop when he sees you!

As soon as we do something about your hair.

-Brush. -DAWN: Brush!

-Bigger brush. -Bigger brush!

-Rake. -Rake!

-That's it! I'm leaving!

-Oh no. You're not going anywhere!

-Oh...

-[screaming] -Get back here and be better!

[birds cawing]

-Oh hey, Hwam.

-Sorry. I thought you were lightning.

-Glad I found you. I mean,

not that I was looking for you or anything.

Uh, w-what's up?

-The sky.

[laughing]

[both laugh]

I don't understand the joke,

but I like the feeling of laughing.

Anyway, I was just looking for some bones to give to Gran,

but I can't find any.

-Oh, you're not gonna find any bones around here.

Hope runs a tight farm. Sometimes, she takes the bones

out of my mouth before I'm done eating.

-That's okay. There are gifts everywhere you look. Ooh...

Like these.

-Banana peels? Those aren't gifts. Those are garbage.

-Grug, the peel is the most important part of the banana.

Think of it like a cave,

-Banana cave?

-Exactly. It keeps the bananas safe and warm.

It protects the banana from animals,

rain, avalanches.

Without the peel, there's no banana.

[high-pitched note]

-Wow. Banana brain blown.

I've never thought of it like that.

Thank you, Hwam,

for opening my eyes.

-Your eyes were always open, banana bud.

You just needed someone to help you see.

HOPE: Ah! Get back here!

-What was that?! -Ah, just someone screaming.

So why do you need a gift for Gran?

-Oh. We're going on a picnic!

-We are? Aw, great! I love picnics!

-Oh. Actually, I meant just me and Gran.

-Oh. Cool. Yeah, that makes sense.

Well, I guess I'll just see you later then.

-Sounds great! -* *

-Later tonight. Or-or first thing tomorrow. I'm wide open!

[ice clinking]

[confused mumbling]

-[sighs] He's not coming.

Frozen once, shame on him.

Frozen twice, shame on me.

Guess that means we can go hunting, Sandy!

-Gran! Wait! -[gasps]

Sorry I'm late. These are for you.

-Aw, banana peels!

Can you believe some people think these are garbage?

[sniffs, sighs]

-Did you have any trouble with the weapons?

-Not at all,

but I did have some trouble with my hair.

Worked it out, though.

-[muffled yelling] -[Sandy giggling]

* *

-I missed this. -Missed what?

-Being alive, smelling,

seeing, eating,

and whatever the other senses are. It's amazing.

So is the farm and your family.

-Yeah. I didn't think I'd like 'em, but I do.

Ugga's the mom I wish I'd been.

Eep's more fearless than I ever was.

Sandy's a born fighter.

Thunk and Bareback are all heart.

I can live with Other Girl, Top Knot, and Braids.

And then there's Grug.

HWAM: Yeah. He's the best.

-Eh, wouldn't go that far, but I haven't killed him yet,

-so he could be worse. -FAMILY: Aw...

-I take it all back! Come on, Hwam!

Let's go have some fun alone.

[cheering, laughing]

[laughing, grunting]

[sniffing, grunting]

-[plant snarling] -[Gran yelling]

[growls, grunts]

[all growling]

[laughter, yelling]

[grunting]

[cheering, laughter]

And that was the fifth time I died.

You can fight lava, but lava always wins.

It was the greatest moment of my life!

Or that life, anyway.

-You've lived so many lives.

You've done and seen so many things.

-I'm sorry I wasn't there with you.

-I am, too. But it wasn't your fault.

-I know, but now that I'm here, I wanna make up for lost time.

-That sounds nice. -I was hoping you'd say that

because I have an idea.

[overlapping chatter]

-Everybody shut it! We've got news!

Hwam and I are leaving.

-What do you mean leaving? To go hunt?

-Nope! We're going to see the world, and then beat it up!

Just like we always planned. We leave tonight!

* *

-Who's that guy?

[Gran grunting]

-Hey, Mom, can we talk?

-Sure. After you hand me that ax.

[sighs]

No, the travel ax.

-I'm really happy for you,

but... are you sure about this?

-You think if you keep asking that question,

you'll get a different answer?

I'm not getting any younger, Ugga! Spear.

-What about the farm? The Thunder Sisters?

Your family? Me?

-You'll be fine. Besides,

this is a chance to see the life I could'vehad!

-What about the life you already have?

-I've lived that life.

Time to check out a new one.

-First, I was worried youwere gonna get hurt,

but now I feel like I'mgonna get hurt.

-You'll be fine. You always are.

Just like me.

-[bark] -Eh?

-Snack for the road. -Mom.

-Oh, alright!

[grunts]

-I can't believe you're leaving already.

-What am I gonna do?

-You're gonna be okay, Grug Crood.

This isn't goodbye forever. I'll be back.

-When? Tomorrow? -No.

-The day after tomorrow? -Probably not.

-The day after the day after tomorrow?

-No, but someday. -What day?!

I need to know! I need to know now!

-I'll be back before you know it. I promise.

I got you something.

-A corn cob?

Wait. I-I see it now.

This cob holds all the corn kernels together,

keeping them connected and safe. Just like me.

-Now, you're getting it, corn dog.

-I gave him my heart,

and he gave me a cob. Hm.

Pretty sweet deal.

HWAM: So I was thinking we could go to the Flame Fields first,

then take a short detour

to check out the Burning Bog, and then,

maybe spend a few moons in Pyro Prairie.

Or is that too much fire?

-No such thing as too much fire.

But I've already been to those places.

-No problem. We'll just go somewhere else that's on fire.

-Like Combustion Canyon or Inferno Island

or the Blazing Bluffs.

-Been to all those, too.

-Well, I don't care where we go,

as long as we're together. And hey,

when you're done packing, your family has

a little surprise for us.

Isn't that exciting? I mean,

as long as the surprise isn't another avalanche.

[ice clinking]

-We knew you wouldn't want a farewell dinner,

so instead, this is your farewell fight.

GRAN: Aw, you know me too well.

Let's do this!

Eyes and teeth are all fair game!

-I'll go first. I'm gonna miss you, Mom.

I'll miss your cackle and the way you--

-Keep it short! I don't have all day!

-I'm gonna miss your amazing stories,

and how you're scary even when you're not trying!

-Gran, I'm gonna miss our adventures.

Ow!

-I'm not gonna miss anything about you

because I'm coming with you!

-Not a chance, meat-neck!

-And I'm gonna miss the wisdom of a wise old...

A-and by old, I mean experienced--

Oh, it's you. Uh, thanks, Hwam.

So, hitting the road, huh? Need any help packing?

-I admire you, Guy.

While everyone else welcomed me with open arms,

you didn't because you were trying to protect them.

Because you care about them. You're their banana peel.

[whimpers]

-[crying] I'm gonna miss you so much!

-Have a good trip. See you when you get back.

Ah! Why?

-Braids! Top Knot! It's bye-bye time.

-If we're not going to miss living in fear,

do we still have to fight?

-Hm, let me think about that. Yes!

[Guy and Hope screaming]

-[growling] -Go on, Sandy.

Give me all you got!

[sad purring]

Oh--

Hm...

I'm gonna miss you, too, Sandy.

I'm gonna miss all of you. Except Grug.

-Because I'm coming with you? -No!

* *

-This is a long-distance speak-in-shell,

so you'll always be in touch.

At least until you run out of vine,

which will probably be just past the hill,

so never mind. Give it back.

-[grunts] Dad said it would be too hard to say goodbye,

but he wanted you to take this with you.

* *

[Sandy grunts]

-[sighs] Hwam, I need to talk to you.

[sighs] I can't go.

-Oh. You wanna leave tomorrow? -No.

-I can't go. Ever. -What do you mean?

I thought we were gonna start our life together.

-I already have a life.

Here. On the farm. With my family.

And I can't leave that behind.

FAMILY: Aw...

-Get your googly eyes outta here before I gouge them out

and turn them into a necklace!

-Well, then I'll stay here with you.

-Hm. I'd like that, but...

-But there's a world out there I haven't seen.

A world you haveseen. A world I needto see.

-And I can't be the reason you don't see it.

* *

-I knew there'd be another avalanche.

I'll be back. And-and I'll bring you something dead!

-Will you wait for me? -Not if it takes as long as last time.

Just kidding. I'll be here.

It's possible I can't die.

-[soft laugh] Goodbye, everyone!

It was a pleasure meeting all of you.

Oh, and please tell Grug I said thanks for the basket.

[struggling]

Why is this basket so heavy?

-Because Grug's in it.

GRUG: [muffled] No, I'm not!

* *

HWAM: Mm... mwah!

[both sigh]

[squishing]

I think this is yours.

-Thanks.

-[Sandy growling] -Huh?

-[growling] -Good call, Cindy.

Less tears, more spears.

Let's go hunting!

GRUG: [muffled] I'm still not in this basket!

* *
