Dug Don't you miss the valley, Chief?
Chief Bobnar The valley's gone now. And we're better off here in the Badlands than slaving down some mine. I mean, there's the odd giant duck around, but at least we're still together. We're still a tribe.
Dug But our ancestors played football. We know they did. I still believe we can do this.

Lord Nooth You think you can beat us at football? (after Dug nods, he laughs and the crowd joins in laughter) A match between the Bronze and the brutes? What an idea!

Dug (gasps) So you know about those terrible pictures?
Chief Bobnar They are terrible. I can draw better than that. But that's all they are: pictures. It's this lot that counts. You were right, Dug. I thought we were just rabbit hunters. Well, not anymore. You've shown me that. Who's playing with Dug for the valley?
Asbo Champion!
Barry It's what Mr. Rock would've wanted.

Dug (looks around the mine) Wha... Wha...? More cave paintings.
Lord Nooth Yes. Only these ones tell the whole story. You see, your ancestors did not just play football. They invented the game. You even taught other tribes how to play. But you had one problem: no matter how hard you try, you just always ended up losing. Match after match, game after game. (Dug sighs in disbelief) In fact, after many many moons... (cave painting of cavemen showing their butts can be seen) ...you just gave up altogether. It was all too painful for you. It turns out your tribe were totally crap at football. You're losers, caveman. Always have been, Always will be.
Dug No. No, it-it can be true!
Lord Nooth Do you really believe you can beat us tomorrow? Face it, caveman. You and your tribe, you just don't have it in you. But I am willing to offer you a deal. A way out. (the scene goes to Hognob finding tracks leading to the valley, then cuts back to the mine) Think it over, caveman, because the mine is waiting. For you and your primitive friends. (laughs evilly, offscreen)

Dino Or what, Lord Nooth?
Lord Nooth Ore, you fool. Start mining the ore. The metal that's in the ground.
Dino Oh, the ore... in the ground! Yes... (laughs) What about the primitives?
Lord Nooth (scoffs) Let them rot in the Badlands. They're low-achievers of history with their puny flints and drafty caves.
Dug (angrily but quietly) You've picked the wrong tribe to mess with. (grabs a stone axe and charges at Lord Nooth)
Lord Nooth Oh, I'm so scared. You are waving your stones about." (Dug war-cries as he jumps at Lord Nooth) The Age of Stone is over, Dino. Long live the Age of Bronze. (bronze ball knocks Dug unconscious) Okay, let's get moving.
Bronzetrooper Of course, Lord Nooth.
Lord Nooth I'm late for my massage.

Teamwork vs Individual Talent in Competition
Goona (passing out Real Bronzio cards) Make no mistake, these are the best players bronze can buy.
Asbo They're like ginormous, great, big footballing...giants!
Gravelle Oh, there's no way we can beat such a great team!
Goona They may be great, but what they're not is a team. They're 11 players who each think they're the star. That's their weakness. And that's how you can beat them.
Dug Goona's right. They may be better players than us, but we have something they don't.
Barry Moss?

Treebor Oh, Mum...
Dug Morning, Barry.
Barry Morning, Dug.
Dug Mr. Rock coming hunting today?
Barry Oh yeah. Wouldn't miss it for the world.
Chief Bobnar Morning, Asbo. Change your underpants today?
Asbo Yep. Changed them with Thongo, Chief. Champion!
Chief Bobnar Yes, Gravelle?
Gravelle When I put my arm up, it hurts.
Chief Bobnar Well, don't do it, then. (notices Grubup biting Eemak's leg) Grubup, don't eat that. That's Eemak.
Grubup Yum. (chuckles)
Chief Bobnar Exactly. Uh, right.
Dug Heads down, everyone.
Chief Bobnar Thank you, Dug.
Barry (shoulder-bumps Mr. Rock) Shh!
Chief Bobnar (clears throat) We give thanks for our valley, our home, this precious ground which sustains us and gives us shelter from the Badlands. (Dug breathes deeply) May we live in peace, balance, and harmony with our forest and all the creatures we share it with. (puts his hands together) Right, let's go kill something! (the cavemen cheer)

Lord Nooth (drops chest) So long, suckers! (walks away)
Brian My word, Bryan. That Schnookel-grabbing scoundrel is making off with the profits.
Dug (to Goona) After you.
Bryan Aye, but will he get away? (Goona kicks the ball) Oh! Superb shot!
Brian And a rebound! (Dug kicks the ball which bounces back and hits Nooth in the head) That got him!
Bryan Aye, Nooth is on the backfoot now, Brian. (Nooth falls) Quite literally. (Chief Bobnar whistles, the giant duck grabs Nooth and shakes him around) Look at that. Caught by the old bill.
Brian Ah, Bryan. That's comedy bronze. Well done, my friend.
Lord Nooth Ah! My lovely Schnookels! (falls to the ground, then the bronze plate fell on his head, causing him to faint)
Bronze Elderly Woman (catches her dinner plate) Ooh, refund!
Queen Oofeefa That should remind him of the pecking order, eh?
Dug (chuckles) Yeah!
Queen Oofeefa Oh, and, caveman, I think this is yours. (gives trophy to Dug) Symbol of a game sent from heaven.
Dug Thank you, your...bronze chiefness.
