Ugga?

Ugga.

Ugga!

Kill circle!

Hey, honey.

Yeah, I couldn’t sleep either.

All these separate rooms.

Who could live in a place like this?

Well.

And there’s something off about that Phil Betterman guy.

Like, way off.

Grug, you know what I think?

Maybe we could stay.

Excuse me?

You’re thinking about staying here?

No.

I want to be in the wild

fighting vulture rats for scraps.

Of course I want to stay.

Yeah, but.

It’s nice here.

But.

And you were just worried about your daughter leaving,

but the pack is together.

Sort of.

If you give this place a chance,

you might actually like it here.

Do I have to like Phil?

You have to be nice.

No hitting.

Okay.

But if I have to be alone.

I’m gonna be alone with you.

I mean, can you believe it?

After all these years,

and Guy shows up on our doorstep.

And to think that we were worrying

about Dawn being alone.

And now Guy’s back!

It’s like fate brought them back together.

Like it was meant to be.

But did you see the way

that cave girl was holding Guy’s hand?

You don’t think Guy could possibly

be serious about that Meep?

Or “Peep”?

Or is it “Eep”?

“Eep.

” It’s “Eep,” right?

Well, I’m just not sure

Eep fits in here.

You know?

In fact, none of them do.

Poor things do seem to struggle

with the concept of walls.

I don’t know if cave people belong in a modern world.

I’m going to watch window forever!

Do they know that?

I feel like we just need to

help them understand

that they have a bright future.

outside these walls.

And Guy’s future is inside the walls.

With Dawn.

Hope Betterman, always thinking of others.

Honestly, I just can’t help it.

Ooh, that was.

hands down,

the best night’s sleep I’ve gotten in.

Morning, Guy!

Hi, Mr. Betterman.

Fresh bitter bean juice?

Uh, thank you?

Hi, Guy!

Mrs. Betterman.

These are for you.

I made them last night.

Oh, uh, I should wake Eep up.

You know, it’s been seven hours

since I said, uh, “Hey.

”

That’s adorable!

You know, let’s let that poor Eep sleep.

She must be exhausted.

Nah, I’m sure she’s.

Oh, look!

Here’s Dawn!

What a coincidence.

Why, Dawn, whatever are you doing

on this particular rope bridge

at this particular moment in time?

My morning chores?

Morning chores!

Genius.

Genius!

Genius!

Genius!

Genius!

Genius!

Genius!

Genius.

Genius.

Boom.

Boom.

Couldn’t sleep last night.

Me neither.

When I woke up,

your mom was missing.

You don’t think a predator took her, do you?

Nope.

Found her.

It’s like this place is changing everyone.

We don’t sleep-pile anymore.

We don’t wake up together.

And Thunk just stares at that box.

Not now, Douglas.

The birds are on.

Dad, relax.

It’s been one night.

And a little change can be.

Guy?

Hey.

Guy?

You’re you,

but you don’t look like you.

And you smell like flowers.

And soft rain.

More like a clear mountain stream.

With just a hint of vanilla.

It’s called a shower.

You should try it.

You want me to smell like vanilla?

Just a hint.

What happened to your clothes?

We burned his clothes

while he was in the shower.

In fact, they were so dirty

that we washed them and then burned them.

Come on, Thunk.

We’re going outside.

I don’t wanna.

I’m watching birds.

In my day, we didn’t stare at birds.

We fought them.

Let me live my life!

Hey, new friend girl!

Want some breakfast?

Uh, sure!

I’ll start the fire again.

Fire.

Hey.

Hey, yeah.

Check this out.

Now, that’s how you make a fire.

You don’t need two people anymore.

I can’t believe how much time

I wasted clacking rocks.

This is amazing!

And it’s such a time-saver,

and it’s so simple.

No more smashed fingers.

The Bettermans really do.

Oh, there you are.

I was looking all over for you.

We are really up here!

Do I smell weird to you?

You smell.

different.

Like river rocks with, uh.

a hint of moss.

What’s that mark on your wrist?

Oh, it’s just a scar.

Scar?

Yeah, from a thorned crab.

No big deal.

And that?

Razor worm.

Well, what about that one?

Scorpion badger.

Swamp snake, sky snake, volcano,

end of the world,

my little sister, my little sister,

my little sister.

She bites a lot.

And my dad doesn’t even know about this one.

Peanut toe.

Every mark is an adventure!

My parents won’t even let me have scars.

That’s why they built the wall.

To keep me safe.

You’re not allowed outside the wall?

Nope, not since

what happened to Guy’s family.

So, this farm.

is like your cave.

You’re just like me!

Come on.

Oh, man.

Is this your ride?

Nah, it’s my dad’s.

Listen to this baby purr See that pig gator over there?

Yeah.

Wanna jump it?

Yeah.

See that chicken seal over there?

Yeah.

Wanna jump it?

Yeah!

You see that wall?

Yeah!

Wanna jump it?

Yeah!

No!

Eep, I’m not allowed

to go outside the wall!

Don’t worry.

We’ll be back before anyone knows.

Are you okay?

Oh, my gosh!

My heart is pounding!

I feel so alive!

Let’s jump more stuff.

Ready?

Let’s do it.

Yeah!

Again!

Something bigger!

Mrs. Betterman.

We were just checking out this invention.

What’s it for?

It

You know, why don’t you ask Phil?

He spends a lot of time in there.

Anyway, here.

I thought you might want to have this.

It’s some old pictures of our families.

Thank you.

Where does this go?

Dad, what if I miss something?

I wanna go back inside.

No, Thunk.

Play with Douglas.

He’s feeling left out.

And he’s sad that everyone isn’t

spending time together anymore.

All right.

You wanna play fetch, Douglas?

Yeah?

Okay.

Okay.

Go get it!

I’m sorry!

I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!

I’m going back to the window!

Hey!

There he is!

Grug!

Over here, buddy.

Let’s go for a ride.

Grug.

Gruggers.

G-G-G-Grug.

Grug.

Grug?

Grug.

Wanna go for that ride?

Pretty impressive, eh, Grug?

Funny story,

everything you see before you used to be

a sad, hopeless, dust-filled wasteland.

That doesn’t sound funny.

But through the power of higher thought,

I devised a way to get all the water

from that high mountain source

to flow down here.

How interesting.

Yup, I turned a barren desert

into a lush oasis.

Now we have all the water we need

and then some.

Matter of fact, we’re thinking of

putting in a new.

Ooh, banana.

No!

What’d you do that for?

Sorry.

I’m afraid I must remind you

of our one rule.

We don’t eat the bananas.

Well, why not?

I mean, they’re everywhere!

Look!

You got a whole bowl full of

them over there.

Who are those for?

Grug, we could talk about fruit all day.

Or.

do you wanna see something really cool?

I don’t know.
