Time to go hunting.
Bit early, isn't it, Dug?
But, Chief, we're early man.

Morning, everyone.

Ow! Ow!
Ow!
(ALL LAUGHING)
Oops. Sorry. (CHUCKLES)
Wait, Chief. Chief...
Chief.
So I've been thinking.
You know we always hunt rabbits?
Yeah. Very tasty they are, too.
Yes, but couldn't we
try hunting something,
well, you know, bigger?
What, like a hare?
No, like a buffalo or a mammoth.
(GASPS)
(CHUCKLES) You want us to hunt a
five-ton, bone-crushing mammoth?
Yeah. Why not?
I really believe
we could do it, Chief.
Dug, look at our ancestors.
You don't see them
hunting big things, do you?
They hunted little round beasts.
Of some sort.
Yeah, what are
those things anyway?
Don't know.
I suppose they couldn't
draw rabbits back then.
Wait. Sorry, no, Chief.
Chief,
about the mammoth thing...
Look, I'll tell you what, I'll
definitely bear it in mind.
All right?
Come on, Dug.
Right, gather round.
Grab a spear.
Oh! It's pointy!
- Oh, Treebor. Just get over there.
- Aw, Mum!
- Morning, Barry.
- Morning, Dug.
Mr. Rock coming hunting today?
Oh, yeah, wouldn't miss it
for the world.
Morning, Asbo.
Change your underpants today?
Yeah! Changed them
with Thongo, Chief.
Champion!
Mmm.
- Chief.
- Yes, Gravelle?
When I put my arm up, it hurts.
Well, don't do it, then.
Grubup, don't eat that.
That's Eemak.
(CHUCKLES) Yum!
(DISGRUNTLED

Exactly. Uh... Right.
Heads down, everyone.
Thank you, Dug.
Shh!
(CLEARS THROAT)
We give thanks for our valley,
our home,
this precious ground,
which sustains us
and gives us shelter
from the Badlands.
May we live in peace, balance,

Hmm...
Excellent.
All right, secure the valley.
Start mining ore.
Or what, Lord Nooth?
Ore, you fool!
Start mining the ore.
The metal that's in the ground.
Oh, the ore! In the ground.
(CHUCKLES) Yes.
What about the primitives?
Oh, let them rot
in The Badlands.
They are
the low-achievers of history
with their puny flints
and their drafty caves.
DUG: You've picked the wrong
tribe to mess with.
LORD NOOTH: (MOCKINGLY) Oh, I am so scared!
You are waving your stones about!

Oh. (GRUNTS)
How dare you set foot

You took our ground.
- Our home!
- (SCOFFS) Oh, that.
Listen, you Stone Age brute.
You have no home.
Your kind are finished
on this Earth.
Now take him away and kill him.

You leave my tribe in peace.
- (CROWD MURMURING)
- Hmm.
You think you can beat us
at football?
- (LAUGHING)
- (CROWD LAUGHING)
A match between
the Bronze and the brutes?
What an idea!
Sacrilege, O Premier Leader!
Yes. Quite.
The masses would flock to see
such a vulgar spectacle. Pah!

Oh!
Really?
For the valley, you say?

Uh, what's that crazy fruit
he's got?
CHIEF BOBNAR: "Football"?
- What's "football"?
- (ALL GASP)
And how's it going to get
our valley back?
Well, it's this amazing game,
Chief.
And the leader
of the Bronze people,
he says if we play this game
and beat them at it...
Ooh, nice tight shorts!
Aw, Mum!
...we can have our valley back.
- (ALL GASP)
- That's what we want.
- And if we don't beat them?
- DUG: Ah.
Well, then,
he said we'll spend the rest
of our miserable lives
working down a mine.
No!
- What's a "mine"?
- CHIEF BOBNAR: Dug,
we've never even played
this game.
But that's just it.
We did. Once.
Huh?
Those cave paintings
back in our valley,
they're pictures of our
ancestors playing football.
(ALL GASPING IN AWE)
- Champion!
- DUG: So if they did it,
surely we can do it.
(SNEEZES)
Sorry! Shimmering memories
make me sneeze.
This doesn't change anything,
Dug.
It's just too risky.
Oh, come on, Chief!
We can do it, Chief!
I wanna play football!
I wanna play now!
Now!
(STAMMERS) Listen...
No, we're not... No!
(ALL GROAN)
All right, then.
Don't worry about us.
Yeah, we'll... (SNIFFLES)
We'll be okay.
We'll just die a slow and
lingering death in the Badlands.
Huh?
Come on, Chief.
Just give us a chance. Please!
(GRUNTS ENCOURAGINGLY)
(SIGHS) Look, all right.
(ALL GASP)
Maybe we'll give this
"football" idea a try, then.
(ALL CHEERING)
(WHOOPING)
(SCREAMS)
No promises, mind.
The match is to be played
at the full moon.
(ALL CHEERING)

Are hogs supposed
to play football?
- (GRUNTING)
- No. Oh...
Probably not, no.
Sorry, Hognob.
(SIGHS)
(GROANS)
- This is a football.
- (ALL GASP)
One side tries to kick
the ball into this goal.
ALL: Ooh.
And the other side tries
to kick the ball in that goal.
ALL: Ahh!
Football sounds hard.
What happens if you kick
the ball in the goal?
Well, if you kick the ball
in the goal,
then other men hug and kiss you.
- Oh.
- Mmm.
Right, who wants to try?
- I'll give it a go.
- (ALL LAUGH)
- ASBO: Nice one.
- Aw, Mum!
Good, Magma. All right, okay, good.
Right. Um...
So I'm...
I'm gonna try and get the ball,
and you have to stop me, okay?
(GRUNTING)
Come on, come on!
- Ow!
- (ALL CHEERING)
- Nice one, Mum!
- MAGMA: Football's brilliant.
CHIEF BOBNAR:
That can't be right.
Surely, you can't hit
other players?
No, you're supposed
to attack the ball.
(ALL SHOUTING)
No, no, no, no, not weapons!
Just use fist?
No! No fighting at all.
- Where's the fun in that?

Oh, yes, champions.
They spend their days thinking,

This is the sacred turf.
No one's allowed here.

I need balls.
You came all this way

just to find some balls?
Wow.
You're pretty brave, caveman.
And stupid.
Actually,
more stupid than brave, really.

I want you all to meet someone.
This is Goona.
- (ALL GASP)
- Hi!
DUG: And she's gonna help us
win the game.
- ALL: Oh.
- Why would she do that?
She gets to play
on the sacred turf
in front of thousands of fans.
EEMAK: Whoa.
Glad to be on board.
So what formation
do you normally play?
Um... Formation?
4-4-2 or 4-3-3?
Who's your sweeper?
ALL: Um...
GOONA: Do you man-mark
or play zonally?
ALL: Uh...
We just kick the ball about
and chase it.
(SIGHS)
You think you can beat
Real Bronzio
just by chasing a ball around?
You need to know
what you're up against.
(ALL GASP)
This is Jurgend, the captain.
Best goal-scorer
in the known world.
- Knows it too.
- Ha!
GOONA: Their winger,
Lightning Hammer.
Never strikes twice
in the same place.
- (CRACKLES)
- (GROWLS)
GOONA: Midfield dynamo
Qwik Wun Tu.
He can kick faster
than you can think.
(YELLS)
GOONA: Fullback,
Gonad the Gaul.
No one gets past his tackle.
- Oh!
- Aw, Mum!
Make no mistake.
These are the best players
bronze can buy.
They're like ginormous
great big footballing giants!
Oh, there's no way we can beat
such a great team.
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.
- ALL: Oh.
- Hmm.
Goona's right.
They may be better
players than us,
but we have something
they don't.
- ALL: Huh?
- Moss?
DUG: No, Barry, not moss.
We've got each other.
And if we work together,
then maybe we can do this.
(ALL AGREEING)
GOONA: Right. We've got
a lot of hard work to do.
And we haven't even got
a full team.
Oh, oh! (CHUCKLES)
CHIEF BOBNAR: What's going on?
Oh, Chief, this is Goona,
and she's going to
help us win the game.
I thought we're done
with football.
Not now you've turned up.
You're in the team.
- (ALL CHUCKLE)
- (SIGHS)
I'm not playing.
I'm an old man.
I'm nearly 32.
Okay, that is old.
- Go in goal.
- Ow!
Right, well,
that's settled, then.
Now, where's
your training facilities?
Real Bronzio have the very best.
And all we've got is
- (THUNDER RUMBLING)
- the Badlands.
- (RUMBLING)
- (ALL SCREAMING)
Three, two, one.
- (ALL GRUNTING)
- This way, everyone!
Wait! What? Oh!
What are you doing?
- GOONA: That way, everyone!
- (ALL SCREAMING)
(DUCK SQUAWKING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
(ALL GRUNTING)
Ow! Ah! Ooh!
This is a bit dangerous.
(GRUNTS)
(ALL GASP)
What are you... What the...
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
Eh? Well, I'll be... (GROANS)
Okay. Pass and move.
It's very important
that you pass and move.
But whatever happens,
keep your formation.
(GASPS)
(ALL SCREAMING)
(SIGHS) Oh! Oh!
(LAUGHING)
Ooh!
(GRUNTS)
GOONA: Nice one, Asbo!
That's it!
Everyone working together!
Ugh! This is all I need.
You found these
in the primitives' valley?
It seems their ancestors
were playing football
centuries before we were.
The Queen must not find out
about this, all right?
(MESSENGER BIRD SQUAWKS)
Delivering message!
Oh, no.
- "What's this
- (YELPING)
"I hear about the savages
"playing football
centuries before we were?"
Ow! Ow! I didn't know! Ow!
"And my spies tell me
they're getting better.
- Ow!
- "Training every day!"
Ow! Ow! Ow!
"You better not screw it up,
Nooth, or else,
(GASPS ANG GULPS)
"I'll tell you who'll be
going down the mine.
(MUFFLED) "You will!"
(MESSENGER BIRD SQUAWKING)
This has gone far enough.
They're Stone Age brutes.
They live in caves.
They eat mud! No.
I need to shut them down.
Mess with their
tiny cavemen minds.
Brilliant! How do we do that?
I don't know.
The answer isn't just going
to walk in the door.
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
(CLEARS THROAT)
Sire,
we've found something else
down in the new mine
in the valley.
ENGINEER 2: We've made a copy
for your inspection.
Oh! Ow!
That's perfect.
Mmm.
(TRIBE LAUGHING)
DUG: Hognob.
- (GRUNTS)
- Whoa! Great save, Chief!
You know, we may just
stand a chance tomorrow.
A small chance,
but a chance.
If our ancestors did it,
so can we.
Hey, hey, not bad for 32, eh?
I never thought
I'd say this, Dug,
but we're pretty good.
Oi, oi, oi! That's mine.
- (INDISTINCT CHATTERING)
- (BOTH GASP)
I've got it.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(SIGHS)
Soon be home.
- (MEN SHOUTING IN DISTANCE)
- Huh?
- (RUSTLING)
- Huh?
No!
(CREATURE ROARS)
DUG: (MUFFLED)
What are you doing?
Let me go!
LORD NOOTH:
Calm down, caveman.
I just wanted you
to see our new mine.
After all, you'll soon be digging
lots of bronze out of it.
Oh, we're not going down
any mine, mammoth-mouth.
Ah, yes.
Because you're
great footballers,
just like your ancestors.
You... You know about them?
Bronze is not all
we found down here.
What... What...
More cave paintings?
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 tried,
you just always ended up losing,
match after match,
game after game.
In fact, after many, many moons,
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.
No.
No, it can't be true.
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'm willing
to offer you a deal.
A way out.
CHIEF BOBNAR: Time to turn in.
Big day tomorrow.
- MAGMA: Come on, Treebor!
- TREEBOR: Night, Goona!
ASBO: Can I sleep
in me football kit?
- TREEBOR: Night, everyone!
- GOONA: Night, everyone!
Huh?
Think it over, caveman,
because the mine is waiting
for you and
your primitive friends.

- (GRUNTS)
- Oh! Me arm hurts!
Oh! (SOBBING)
Where are you, Mum?
- (WHIP CRACKS)
- (GROANS)
You idiot!
What have you done?
At the end of the day,
we're just
a rabbit-hunting tribe.
DUG: I'm sorry, Chief!
I didn't mean
for this to happen.
Bobnar, you've got
to believe me!
(GRUNTING)
(SNORTING)
HOGNOB: Huh?
Oh, Hognob!
(GROANS)
(LAUGHS)
Oh!
My dear old hoggy friend.
(PANTING)
What if I'm wrong?
What if Chief was right
all along?
Huh?
What if we are just
a tribe of rabbit-hunters?
Uh...
Forgive me, Hognob.
But I've got a deal to make.
I've got to save the tribe.

Everyone has to pay.
One hundred schnookels!
- It has doubled!
- Voluntary contribution!
- Everyone has to pay.
- This is outrageous!
Have you got change
for a dinner plate?
(LORD NOOTH LAUGHING)
It's all going
to plan, Dino.
Ooh. I love you,
little bronze coin.
Hello!
I love you. I love you too.
And you too.
- (CONTINUES KISSING)
- QUEEN OOFEEFA: Nooth!
What are you doing?
Ugh. Not that stupid
old bird again.
Tell Chef to boil it up
in a cassoulet.
(CROWD GASPS)
"Stupid old bird"?
(GASPS)
"Cassoulet"?
Oh! (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Your Majesty!
- (CROWD GASPS)
- Why, this is an unexpected
(GROANS) pleasure.
Thought I'd come
to this caveman game myself.
And have a little nose.
(NASALLY) A great honor,
Your Majesty.
BRYAN: And you have to say,
Brian,
Real Bronzio's manager
is on the back foot.
(CHUCKLES) Oh, it's a terrible
start for the lad, Bryan.
Terrible. I mean, just awful.
I put it down
to pre-match nerves.
You're not wrong there, Brian.
I've brought
my royal commentators with me.
Sit!
Right. (CHUCKLES)
Well, let's start the fun,
shall we?
Bring out
the Stone Age challengers!
(CROWD BOOING)
What? Where are you taking me?
What on Earth are
you playing at?
(HOGNOB GRUNTS)
Oh, Dug.
Who challenge the champions?
(QUIETLY) You'll leave
my people alone as agreed?
(QUIETLY)
Yes, just say the words.
Not me.
(CROWD GASPS)
I forfeit the game
and volunteer myself
for the mines.
(CROWD GASPS)
And?
And our valley
is yours.
My goodness!
Have the cavemen caved?
Oh! So it seems.
How very disappointing.
Everyone, go home!
There is no game.
Apologies
for the inconvenience.
(WHISPERS) Tell the staff,
no refunds.
Fowl! Fowl!
Foul? No one's even playing,
you silly slap-head!
No, fowl!
- (SQUAWKING)
- (CROWD CHEERING)
(GASPS)
(SQUAWKS)
BRYAN: Well, Brian,
it looks like the Stone Age
team have just flown in.
BRIAN: That's right, Bryan.
They're definitely looking
good in the air!
See what I did there?
(CHUCKLES)
Oh, goodie.
Seems there is a game
after all.
- (DUCK FARTING)
- (GASPS)
(CROWD LAUGHING)
(SQUAWKING)
(CONTINUES SQUAWKING)
(HOGNOB PANTING)
Gonna start without us, Dug?
Chief,
we can't play this game.
What, because of
a few paintings?
(GASPS) So you know about
those terrible pictures?
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?
- (ALL CHEERING)
- ASBO: Champion.
It's what Mr. Rock
would've wanted.
We challenge the champions!
(GRUNTS)
(CROWD GASPS)
- (SCOFFS)
- Your funeral, caveman!
BRYAN: This may be
an uneven contest, Brian,
but let's hope
it's at least entertaining.
Ha! Let's get this done.
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
- (CROWD CHEERING)
What?
Let's do it!
Oh! Well, this is interesting.
Hey, Hgelgraber!
- Wake up!
- (YELPS)
BRYAN: Very interesting!
(GROANS)
Huh?
(ALL GASP)
(GASPS)
- (BOTH CHEERING)
- BRIAN: I don't believe it,
Bryan! The Stone Age team
have caught
their opponents napping.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Beginners' luck, Your Majesty.
Hmph.
(BLOWS WHISTLE)
Bad move, caveman.
Now you've just made us mad.
- (GRUNTS)
- (GASPS)

Oh!
Yay!
BRIAN: And normal service
is restored!
CROWD: (CHANTING)

Bryan.
PUPPETEER: Ooh, ja, kick!
Yay! Goal!
BRIAN: You can't argue
with the puppets, Bryan.
PUPPETEER: Kissy-kissy!
Hug, hug, hug!
BRYAN: Aye,
the puppets don't lie, Brian.
- CROWD: Oh!
- (GASPS)
PUPPETEER: Oh! Ah,
and that's a goal.
- That's two.
- (GRUNTS)
BRIAN: Real Bronzio are in
- no mood to compromise.
- Goal!
Never mind. Come on, everyone!
- Boo!

BRIAN: And surely,
that's settled it.
(GROANS)
(GASPS)
- Yay!
- (HORN BLOWING)
(RATTLING)
(CROWD CHEERING)
BRIAN: Well, it's halftime,
Bryan, and Real Bronzio
- are dominating this match.
- (BLOWS WHISTLE)
You're going down the mine!
You're going down the mine!
The only place we're going
is back to the valley.
Now come on, everyone!
Let's show them what we've got!
(YELPING)
Remember your training, Eemak!
(DELIGHTED GEORDIE
GOBBLEDYGOOK)
Nice one, Eemak! That's it!
BRIAN: Goodness me, it looks
like a caveman counterattack.
Come on, then.
Let's see your tackle.
(YELPS)
DUG: Great work, Magma!
- BARRY: Hey, hey!
- (CROWD GASPS)
(GRUNTS)
What was that?
BRIAN: Oh-ho!
Unorthodox, Bryan,
- but effective.
- (ALL CHEERING)
- BRIAN: This is unprecedented!
- Yay!
I can't remember any side
scoring two goals
against Real Bronzio.
PUPPETEER: Oh, you fool.
What were you playing at?
You silly, stupid...
Idiot! Do I have to do
everything around here?
Caveman coming through!
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
Nibbles, Your Majesty?
Stuff your nibbles!
BRYAN: Well, Real Bronzio,
they just don't know what's
hit them, they really don't.
BRIAN: Oh-ho! The Stone Age team
is really coming together, Bryan.
BRYAN: You're not wrong,
Brian. It's like early man
united. That's another joke
there, Brian.
BRIAN: Oh, look at this!
The Stone Age striker
beats one,
- nutmegs another...
- (CROWD GASPS)
All yours, Goona!
Hmm.
BRIAN: She's going all the way.
(GRUNTS)
- (GOONA GRUNTS)
- BRIAN: She shoots.
- (HGELGRABER GRUNTS)
- She scores!
- (CROWD CHEERING)
- The crowd are going wild!
- And who can blame them?
- Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
(BOTH WHOOPING)
Wait a minute!
She shouldn't even be
on the pitch.
QUEEN OOFEEFA: And why not?
Because she's a...
(LORD NOOTH STAMMERING)
A great player!
You lot!
Get your act together!
Unless you want to be suspended
for the rest of the season.
Play on!
Hmm...
- LORD NOOTH: Psst. Dino! Dino!
- Eh?
- Have you got your rule book handy?
- Of course.
Good. Because
I'm throwing it at you.
Eh?
DUG: Come on, everyone.
One last goal
will take us home.
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
- (GASPS)
Dino is having a lie-down.
I am the new ref.
Well, that's not fair!
Oh, isn't it?
Let's ask the new ref.
Ref, is it fair?
Oh, yes, it's totally fair.
Okay. Play on!
It's injury time. Understand?
(ALL CHUCKLE)
(BLOWS WHISTLE)
- (GRUNTS)

Whatever cricket is.
Nothing to see there. Play on.

- No!
- LORD NOOTH: I didn't see anything.
- No foul! Play on!

Chief? Chief?
- Ha! I soon have it fixed.

Oh, great.
Um... Huh?
Ha. There. Good job.
Come on,
that was never a penalty!
(SCOFFS) Fine.
Check the replay.
PUPPETEER:
Oh, kick, ahh! Referee!
Oh, my leg! My leg!
(SCREAMS)
Oh, no, the crocodile!
Snack, snack, snack.
(SCREAMING)
LORD NOOTH: Oh, terrible foul!
Beating him with sausages!
Shame on you.
Definite penalty.
(BLOWS WHISTLE)
BRIAN: A draw is just not good enough
for the primitive part-timers, Bryan.
And now this.
A Real Bronzio penalty
in the dying moments
of the match.
BRYAN: Aye, and the goalie
looks in a bad way too.
(CLINKING)
- (GULPS)
- CHIEF BOBNAR: (WEAKLY) Dug...

I spent my whole life
hunting rabbits.
I held you back.

are we going to do for a goalie?
(HOGNOB CLEARS THROAT)
(CROWD CHEERING)
(CHUCKLING)
Hognob?
Okay!
My word. Is that a pig
they just put in goal?
Have to say that's rather rash.
(CHUCKLES)
- Rasher. Do you get it? Bacon.
- Mmm.
I've never missed a penalty.
Not against a pig anyway.
(LAUGHING)
BRIAN: And it looks like
it's all over
for this plucky band
of knuckle-grazers, Bryan.
BRYAN: A great effort,
but, in the end,
it wasn't quite enough.
(GULPS)
(LAUGHS) Say goodbye
to your valley, caveman.
Come on, Hognob.
You can do it.
(BLOWS WHISTLE)
BRIAN: He's got
a trotter to it!

in play, Brian.

Is this as good

No.

Ja.
Well played, caveman.
QUEEN OOFEEFA: So...

As for Lord Nooth...

Oh, and, caveman,
