Don’t drink saltwater kids.


  • Just the fact that Scrat created the continental drift while chasing after his acorn.
    • He also ends up creating a Moai statue, a Sphinx and Mount Rushmore, all of which contain his likeness.

  • Manny's Boyfriend-Blocking Dad tendencies towards Peaches:
    Peaches: Okay, so tell me, when exactly will I be allowed to hang out with boys?
    Manny: When I'm dead… plus three days. Just to make sure I'm dead.
  • The entire logride of Sloths with Diego being dragged along with them.
    • Eventually culminating when Diego notices the sled is headed right towards Peaches! Thinking quickly, he grabs a tree to stop the sled. The sled comes to a screeching halt inches from Peaches ...but catapults the sloths onto Manny, knocking him down.
      Ellie: Manny, are you okay?
      Manny: (to dirty sloth Fungus) Get off... my face!
    • Bonus, when the sled stops inches from Peaches, she opens her eyes then tips the sled back down with her trunk.
    • Then when Diego threatens Uncle Fungus, just before Sid rushes in.
      Diego: That was fun. Now...who should I eat first?
  • This little Establishing Character Moment.
    Sid's Father: We just knew Sid would want to see his poor, dear Granny before... (Sniffs dramatically, getting choked up) ...her time is up.
    Granny: I'll bury you all and dance on your graves!
    • Granny in general.
      Manny: You slept through that storm?
      Granny: Bah, I slept through the comet that killed the unicorns.
  • When Sid's family abandons him again, once his back is turned despite Manny's protests. Sid then arrives and asks where they went.
    Diego: I'll handle this. Sid? Uh... Your family was wiped out by an asteroid. Sorry.
    Sid: WHAT?!
    Manny: Ahem! What Diego is trying to say is... they left. They only wanted to find you so you could take care of Granny.
    Sid: Oh, come on! What kinda sick family would ditch their own Granny on someone? That's just crazy. That's just... That's just... my family.
    Diego: Well, at least you still have Granny. Right, buddy?
    Sid: Yeah, Granny. Granny? Granny! (Granny's gone)
    Ellie: Wow. For an old girl, she moves fast.
  • Louis wondering how Crash and Eddie can be so calm and happy in the face of death.
    Crash: Can I tell him our secret?
    Eddie: (nods sagely)
    Crash: (quietly) Come here. Come here. We're very… very… stupid.
    Louis: But still, you're still not maybe a teensy bit concerned about, oh, I dunno, say, imminent death?
    Crash: (pinches Louis' nose) Beep!
    Louis: (sighs) I'm gonna go find Peaches.
  • Granny's eventually acquired dentures, which she quickly uses on a poor piece of delectable fruit.
  • When Manny, Diego and Sid are on the ice floe during a huge thunderstorm.
    Manny: Just keep your eye on the horizon!
    Diego: I can't find the horizon!
    • HOLY CRAB!
    • "If I don't make it, find me a wife, and tell her I LOVE HER!"
    • Then when the three are sucked into a tornado and they go upwards into the clouds, Sid exclaims "Hey, guys! There really is a rainbow around every corner!" Manny and Diego stare blankly...before all three plummet back down to Earth.
  • The Hyrax chief goes all Braveheart. It's priceless. He compounds this by combining the Wallace-esque face paint with a Maori Haka.
  • After the Siren escapade, Sid goes back to the roaring Siren that lured him and says "Call me". The Siren recoils, and makes a grunt that sounds like "Ew. Uh-uh."
    • Scrat NOT being Distracted by the Sexy when a siren pretends to be Scratte. When it pretends to be an acorn, then he falls for it.
      • Fridge Brilliance sets in when you realize it didn't help that the siren turned into an exact copy of the Scratte from the previous film, who left him to die twice and nagged him continuously while they were together and tried to steal his acron when they weren't. Would you go back to that?
      • Then the trick backfires when Scrat then tries to bury the "acorn", accidentally killing the Nut-Siren, resulting in the other Sirens turning into acorns and pummeling him, before he barely manages to escape.
  • Sid's communication with the hyraxes, as well as Manny and Diego's reaction to it.
    Diego: That they got?
  • When Gutt confronts the herd for the first time:
    Gutt: Now surrender your ship... or face my fury!
    Sid: Or face your furry what?
    Gutt: Not "furry!" FURY!
  • Manny referring to to Squint as the Easter Bunny, Flynn as a "giant bag of pudding". Squint is NOT amused, while Flynn just stupidly waves, completely oblivious to the insult.
  • When Flynn unintentionally gives the herd directions to return to the continent to Gutt's exasperation.
    Manny: My family's back on the continent. So if you could jus—
    Gutt: (mock sympathy) Your family? That's so sweet. I hope you said goodbye... 'cause there's no way back.
    Flynn: Yes, there is! (Gutt groans in disgust) Don't you remember, Captain? You can sail to Switchback Cove, and catch the current back from there. Like a steel trap this noggin is!
    Gutt: Thank you, Mr. Flynn! (stomps hard on Flynn's tail flipper)
    Flynn: Ow!
  • Squint steals Flynn's fruit from his plate once the seal's back is turned:
    Flynn: Where's my booty? Anybody seen it?
    Gupta: Dude, it's right behind you! (Silas laughs)
    Flynn: (Brandishing his butt in Silas' face) Where? Where's my booty? I can't see it!
    Silas: Yuck! It's all I can see!
  • This exchange:
    Diatryma Chick: When you drink water from your trunk, does it taste like boogers?
    Ellie: Uh, no! Well, sometimes...
  • Before the "Master of the Seas" number:
    Gutt: Morning, Sunshine! Let me be the first to extend the Hand of Friendship!
    Manny: That's your foot.
    Gutt: Nothing gets by you, does it?
  • Manny's method of distracting himself from the Sirens? Stuffing leaves in his ears and singing (badly) "The Candy Man".
    • He realizes the sirens aren't really Ellie and Peaches when Ellie tells him "You were right, you were always right."
  • This dialogue:
    Sid: My mother once told me that bad news was just good news in disguise.
    Diego: Was this before she abandoned you?
    Sid: Yes, it was.
  • This gem from Shira & Diego:
    Shira: You're pretty soft. For a saber.
    Diego: Excuse me? I am not soft! I happen to be a remorseless assassin!
    Sid: Diego poo! Hey, I made ya another coral necklace. He keeps losin' them! Hehe!
    (Skips away, humming)
  • Peaches is slumping, worrying about her father when suddenly, Louis screams her name as an avalanche rolls past them. The following exchange is priceless.
    Louis: You okay?
    Peaches: Sorry, I'm just so worried about my dad.
    Louis: Don't worry, we're gonna get to him. And at this rate, we'll make it to the land bridge before you know it. We're all gonna survive this. (Crash & Eddie walk past them and fall off a small cliff) Well, okay, maybe they won't. But everyone else? Totally fine!
  • While Ellie is leading the rest of the mammals, and it's getting dark and the entire herd is exhausted:
    • Bonus points for Peaches giving her mother a priceless expression that reads: You think?
  • When Peaches & Louis are spying on Ethan they watch an Elk slide down, only to be struck by the geysers:
    Peaches: (to Louis) I'm sure he's fine.
    Elk: (From offscreen) I'm completely not fine!
    (The elk staggers around with an Ash Face up to Ethan.)
    Ethan: Oh, you did not just do that! That was crazy! (gives the elk a fist bump with his trunk... and the elk's antlers disintegrate into ash) Nice!
    (The elk coughs and trots away)
  • When Flynn is floundering in the water after Gutt's first ship breaks:
    Flynn: They sunk our battleship! What are we gonna do! We're all gonna drown!
    Gutt: (grabs Flynn by the snout) You're a sea creature, you idiot!
    Flynn: Oh, good point sir! (Starts swimming)
  • Sid lets go of the vines holding the ship to grab a berry.
    Sid: Oh, yummo!
    Diego: Sid, NO! It's a lotus berry! It'll paralyze you!
    Sid: Oh, please. I know my berries!
    Diego: Don't... (Sid gulps the berry) ...swallow.
    Sid: See? I'm fine. If there's one thing I know it's berr-ieees... (Sid begins to swell up and then collapses in a heap) Uh-oh.
    • While Manny is carrying Sid's paralyzed body
      Manny: (drags Sid's head on ground striking a rock) Oops! Sorry, buddy! I'll hold you higher. (Sid hits a tree branch) Sorry! (hits another tree branch) SORRY!
    • Manny then uses the paralyzed Sid as a defense when Silas attacks him.
      Manny: Sorry, buddy.
    • Then when the herd succeeds in stealing Gutt's ship, Granny waves goodbye with Sid's limp hand.
      Granny: So long, banana-breath! Thanks for the ship!
    • Later, as Sid recovers from the Lotus berry, chatting nonstop:
      Sid: I can wiggle my toe again! The little piggy who went to market! W-Wait! I'm talking again! I had so many things trapped in me that I couldn't say... Like "HEY, I'M NOT DEAD! And why does a hurricane have an eye but not an ear?...
      (Manny and Granny groan as Sid babbles on and on)
      Granny: I'll push him overboard. You guys say it was an accident.
      Manny: I'm in.
  • Sid drinks seawater
    Sid: Mmm...That's a little... (puckers up to where he looks like he drank a gallon of lemon juice) ...salty!
  • When Sid pries open a clam for Granny, he finds Scrat inside.
    Granny: It's a rat! (repeatedly whacks Scrat with her cane until he falls into the ocean)
  • When Manny and Sid taunt Diego that he's in love with Shira:
    Diego: I dunno what's wrong with me. I can't eat, can't sleep. Maybe I'm comin' down with something.
    Manny: (chuckles) Ohhoho! I know what you've got— The L word.
    Sid: Yeah! Leprosy.
    Manny: No, Sid, no. It's four letters, starts with L, ends with E.
    Sid: Aha! Lice!
    Manny: NO! Diego, my friend, is in love.
    Sid: Oh, yeah! Love!
    Diego: You mean with the pirate? No.
    Sid: Oh, Shira's gotten under your skin! Come on, admit it!
    Manny: A rugged saber like you...
    Sid: A more rugged saber like her. (laughs)
    Diego: No, no, no. You guys are dead wrong!
    (Manny and Sid burst out laughing)
    Manny: Denial is the clincher! You're in love, pussy cat!
    Manny and Sid: Diego and Shira, sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!
    Diego: Real mature, guys. Real mature.
  • The Brat Pack's unsuccessful attempt at a comeback for Peaches after she calls them off on their carelessness towards escaping a dangerous cave-in.
    Ethan: Yo, that was insane! (laughs) Hey, Peach! Loosen up! Have some fun!
    Peaches: "Fun?" You call that fun?! I'm outta here!
    Steffie: C'mon! Do you really wanna go back to hanging out with a weird molehog freak and give all this up?
    Ethan: I mean, it's bad enough that your families part possum and—
    Peaches: "Bad enough?!" There is nothing bad about being part of my family! I like hanging by my tail! And if you geniuses are normal, the species is going to end up extinct!
    (Peaches storms off)
    Katie: Ah, yeah? Well, your species is going to be extinct first!
    Buddy: Ha ha! Burn!
    Ethan: (sighs) We're the same species, geniuses.
    Buddy: What? Double burn!
  • When Gutt orders to throw the Herd overboard starting with the sloths:
    Sid: What? You want me to walk in the water? I can't because I ate less than twenty minutes ago and you know the rule.
    Raz: (crossly) That's a myth!
    Sid: (uneasily) Oh, okay...as long as it's safe.
  • Scrat's arrival in Scratlantis, which he later ends up sinking for not controlling his urge to collect all the acorns there.
  • After his Tap on the Head, Manny wakes up to find:
    Diego: (nonchalantly) Hey, buddy. Welcome to the party.
  • Master Of The Seas in its' entirety:
    • From the start, we have Squint, of all people, getting smacked around a few times during the song. At one point, Gutt grabs him into a waltz, and they end up dancing all the way until where Manny's tied before the ape promptly slingshots him away.
    • The dialogue between the song:
    Captain Gutt: Kill them?! (laughs) Me? No, no! (inspecting Manny) Well at least not this very large, useful mammoth!
    Manny: Hey, hands off!
    Captain Gutt: Anyway...
    • Then Manny, Sid and Diego all try to get a few words in, but the pirates don't seem to listen (or care):
    Squint and Flynn: (the former bouncing fruit off of the latter's belly) He's a robbing, thieving...
    Diego: We really should be leaving!
    Raz: (brandishing sharp weapons) Weapon-throwing...
    Manny: We gotta get going!
    Squint: (holds a knife to Sid's throat) Sloth-slaying...
    Sid: Ah, wish we could be staying!
    • Manny's mere annoyance with Captain Gutt and his crew also qualifies:
    Gutt and his crew: MASTER OF THE SEAS!
    Manny: Oh, please.
