III. Watch the film and write the name of the character who is speaking.

a. I don't eat junk food.
b. I'm not fat. It's all this hair. It makes me look poofy.
c. I don't know about you guys but we are the weirdest herd I've ever seen.
d. Hey, Lord of the Flame, your tail's on fire.
e. Diego, spit that out. You don't know where it's been.
f. I've eaten things that didn't complain this much.
g. If you find a mate in life, you should be loyal. In your case, grateful.
h. I'm still trying to get rid of the last thing I saved.
i. Let's get something straight, ok? There's no "we". There never was a "we". In fact, without "me", it wouldn't even be a "you".
j. You know? This whole ice age thing is getting old. You know what I could go for? A global warming. Save your breath Sid, you know humans can't talk.
k. Here's your little bundle of joy. We're returning it to its herd. No. The sooner we get to Glacier Pass, the sooner I get rid of Mr. Stinky Droolface. And the baby, too. You won't always have Jumbo around to protect you. And when that day comes, I suggest you watch your back... 'cause I'll be chewing on it. Modern architecture. It'll never last.
l. Because returning the runt was your idea, because you're small and insignificant, and because I'll pummel you if you don't. I see. You couldn't have one of your own so you decided to adopt.
m. Why did you do that? you could've died trying to rescue me. That's what you do in a herd, you look out for one another.
n. Do we need a news flash every time your body does something? At the bottom of Half Peak... there's an ambush waiting for you. They migrated without me. They do this every year.
o. If we save it, he will grow up to be a hunter, and who do you think he will hunt? Look at you. Some great predator you'll grow up to be. I don't think so. What do you have? Just a little patch of fur. No fangs, no claws. You're just folds of skin wrapped in... mush. What's so threatening about you?

IV. Order the dialogue

Sid: This is great. Two bachelors knocking about in the wild.
Sid: You are a very shrewd mammal. Okay, big guy, you lead the way, uh... I didn't catch the name.
Sid: Manfred? Yuck, man. How about Manny the moody mammoth? Manny the melancholy? Manny the...

Manfred: Manfred.
Manfred: Stop following me.
Manfred: No, you just want a bodyguard so you don't become somebody's side dish.
