B.C. Butcher (2016) Movie Script

In the year one million

BC, when great beasts still

roamed the earth and survival

was a daily struggle,

before dolphins were exiled

to the sea, before dinosaurs

took to the skies,

one tiny band of early humans fought

to protect their way of life against

the cruel, prehistoric monster

known as the BC Butcher.

After all that we've done for you.

I'm sorry.

Ha.

Sorry?

You violated the laws of our

clan, Dina.

You were planning on

anteloping with my man.

And you're sorry?

Of course you are now,

now that you've been caught.

Don't you know Rex never would

have left

with you in the first place?

We are happily in love.

Oh, yeah?

Well, where is Rex now, Neandra?

Neandra, lay off it.

You know just as well as

anyone here

that Rex is two-timing you.

Don't pretend like you two

are so happy.

Me warned you from the start,

Neandra, dear.

Rex, him is a no good knuckle dragger.

I told you this would happen.

Shut, up, all of you!

Rex would never even

look at this mammoth,

so enough of that.

I know he loves me.

Well, since you're going to

kill me anyways,

I might as well tell you.

Tell me what,

you filthy fossil licker?

I'm pregnant.

This is what you get, Dina!

You deserve this!

Oh, you had it coming!

Attention, everyone.

I would like to just take

a moment and honor today.

There is great cause for celebration.

We discovered the truth about

our dear,

dear tribeswoman Dina.

She was a dust-brained,

twig-snapping boulder.

So we got rid of her.

Leaving only us pure,

faithful members.

We weeded out the bad, and now

we are left only with the best.

I truly love you all.

So thank you for being the

best tribe

a cavewoman could ever ask for!

I'd also like to take a moment

to remind you of our rules,

since they have been recently violated.

Rule number one.. no one, I repeat,

no one is allowed to

talk to my man Rex.

Repeat after me!

No one is allowed to talk to Rex.

Rule number two.. straying from

the group without permission

is strictly forbidden.

Straying from the group

without permission

is absolutely forbidden.

And the last rule,

the most important rule,

rule number three..

always treat your leader,

Neandra, with respect.

Always treat Neandra with respect.

Anaconda, get up and go

alert the rest of them.

Let's get the meat.

Ok.

One of you better tell

me what happened to Dina.

Maybe we didn't kill her.

Neandra, what if she's not dead?

Maybe Rex came and took her away.

You know,

tried to save her and all.

What if we made Rex angry?

Shut up, will you?

I've had enough of this Rex talk.

Don't be stupid.

You know just as well

as I do that Rex likes

to disappear from time to time.

But he would never run

off with a dead body!

Me sense something real bad here,

something evil.

You say everything's evil,

you old witch.

An animal probably took her.

I mean, we did leave it out overnight.

What kind of anima could do that?

She was tied down!

Ana's right.

An animal took her.

You guys are all so superstitious

that you dismiss the obvious.

Let's leave.

Is everything ok, Neandra?

Footprints.

Footprints?

There were these large

footprints by where

Dina's body should have been.

Did they look dangerous?

Yes, very.

I don't think this was any

old animal that took Dina.

Not human prints.

They were like claws.

I think we have something big in

our midst, like a saber-tooth.

I say we hunt it, kill it

before it kills one of us.

We have to!

I'm glad you understand!

Go alert the rest of the tribe.

We're going to need as many

people as possible!

Shh.

It's dark out,

and we saw this thing.

And I heard it.

And I heard it right behind us.

We turned around, and it was

right there looking at me.

And I took my spear,

and I just got it!

And I got it!

And then I strangled it!

I just strangled it!

And I bit its neck off!

It's true.

I saw her bite its neck off.

It was so awesome.

I wish you were there.

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Neandra.

You saved us all.

Oh, please.

It's the absolute least

I could do for my tribe.

This thing was enormous,

and I killed it.

And now we can sleep at night.

And now, we are fed for months!

For months!

Boo!

Poppy.

Oh, Rex, I missed you so much.

Oh, my Poppy.

Oh, I missed you too, Poppy.

I did.

I brought you grapes.

I love grapes!

Seedless?

Yes.

Mmm, my favorite.

Mmm, Poppy.

Hey, what's up with Neandra?

Does she want me dead yet?

No.

She won't believe anything.

She still thinks that

you two are so in love

and that you're coming back

for her.

It's not fair!

Neandra doesn't deserve that.

No, she doesn't.

Just out of curiosity,

how are things with Anaconda?

Good.

Hmm, really?

Ho and Po?

They're good.

I was just curious.

Hey, do me a favor.

Tonight, meet me at the

Rabbit Fighter Moo.

You and me will discuss our escape.

Oh, Rex, I can't wait.

Poppy, more of this later.

Do me a favor.

Do not look at my butt when I leave.

Don't look at my butt!

Ooh.

Don't look at my.. you're looking!

Quit it!

Stop it!

Don't look at my butt!

Ok, bye!

Poppy!

You see all this?

All this for me!

I saved everyone, Poppy!

I killed the beast!

You did, Neandra,

and we're very grateful for it.

Well, you better be because

I'm great!

I'm a great leader!

I'm great!

That's why I'm the obvious

choice for Rex!

Rex loves me, not Dina.

Not that dead toad.

I am great, aren't I?

Of course, Neandra, of course.

Rex really believes that, right?

I'm sure he does, Neandra.

I'm sure of it.

Because it's the truth!

It's the truth!

I'm Neandra, and I'm great!

You are so great.

You are capital great.

Mmm.

I'd rather grate my cheese

than grate you.

You're great.

Great, great, great.

Great Miss Kate.

Remember when I met you at

cave school?

Oh, wow!

You made me dizzy!

I can't believe it!

Peek-a-booby!

It's so much fun being with you.

Remember when I got that

saber-tooth for you?

And you said,

I want to get some meat.

And I bought it for you?

Ooh, memories.

Mmm, God.

You're so sexy.

Remember when we were

dancing at the club?

Club?

You're a good dancer.

Oh, I miss you.

Mmm.

You're the only one for me.

Hmm.

You are.

Oh, what are you wearing?

Mmm, I love dirt.

Oh.

Oh, you smell like an elephant.

I love that smell!

Oh, mammoth!

Fire water!

Neandra!

Memories.

They're mammoth.

They hurt me so bad.

It hurts so bad!

Help me!

The pain they inflicted!

It was awful!

Neandra, Anaconda, Poppy,

Bamba.. I want them dead!

Kill them.

Kill them all!

Kill them!

Kill them.

I want them dead.

Kill them!

These sticks are, like,

the best sticks.

I want to make a torture device.

Where did you get these?

I killed it.

How dare you?

Wasn't it her pet?

No.

Hey, everyone.

I'd like to tell you a story.

Everyone, shut up!

Ana wants to tell a scary story.

Shh.

I'm going to tell you

guys about the legend

of the Butcher, the creature

that stalks our land.

I don't believe this.

This is just a bunch of ooh,

ooh, ooh.

Yeah I don't believe this.

I heard it's true.

Is this the one with the

magical tears?

This isn't scary.

This is a bedtime story.

Ho and Po, be quiet.

I want to hear the story.

Well, as the legend goes,

many years ago,

people from this tribe

began to go missing,

all under mysterious circumstances.

One by one,

they were snatched up just like that.

Shh.

And every time someone went missing,

these big animal-like prints

were left behind,

unlike anything anyone had

ever seen before.

Hey, maybe that's what

snatched up Dina.

Quite plausible.

What are you doing?

I killed the beast.

We just ate it tonight.

And in the legend of the creature,

there wasn't anything about footprints.

There might have been.

How do you know?

I'm just playing, Neandra.

You killed the beast.

We all know it.

And thank you, too.

Sit down!

Poppy!

Kill them!

Oh, Rex!

Let's leave right now.

It's the perfect moment.

Neandra and everyone else,

they're all sleep,

and they will be for a while.

And I just cannot send longer..

Poppy, ok, my flower,

your two lips.

But first, I have a little surprise.

Blankie, spankie.

Me hunt mammoth for you, Poppy.

Oh, Rex, I love you.

Yes, I know.

Oh, Rex.

I love you.

I know.

Ana!

Anaconda, dear!

Mmm, Rolling Stones.

Wake up.

Something is wrong!

Neandra!

Me heard a scream!

Bad things are happening!

I can feel it.

Bad, bad, things.

Oh, Mick Jagger.

Something very bad.

Where's Poppy?

She's here every morning.

Where is she?

I don't know, guys.

Who cares?

I bet she ran off with Rex.

I haven't seen Poppy since the moon

was over to the left.

Ok, so here's what I think happened.

Here's Rex.

Rex?

And here's Poppy.

This is Poppy?

And I think the two of

them ran away together.

Poppy?

Poppy.

Me tried to warn you last night.

Me tried to warn all of you.

But no, none of you listen.

And now, Poppy is gone!

Poppy!

So young, so full of life.

And now she gone!

Gone!

Mamba, don't get so worked up

about it.

We'll go and look for her,

and you can come, too.

Poppy was just a child.

She'd never go anywhere

without telling someone.

She'd announce it to the whole tribe.

That's not the Poppy I knew.

What?

Oh, nothing, nothing.

Ana, where could the girl be?

Why don't we leave and

look for her right now?

As soon as we find her,

you'll see there's absolutely

nothing to worry about.

Poppy?

Ana.

That way.

Ok.

Why not?

Let's go..

Ana!

I think I found something!

Bamba, stay right here.

I'll be right back.

Something awful.

You thought you found Poppy, Neandra?

You thought a little lizard

was Poppy.

It wasn't a lizard!

It was a Raptorex.

So quit it!

Have you've forgotten what

Poppy looked like?

I only said I heard something.

And looks, not looked.

She's not dead, just missing.

Bamba!

I thought I told you to stay here!

Bamba!

There you are, Bamba!

We didn't find anything,

just a little lizard.

Neandra thought she heard Poppy.

What is it?

Nothing!

Must have been a lizard!

She'll be back.

And when she is back, well,

I'll sure be mad at her,

making us worry like this.

Poor little girl.

Anaconda?

Huh?

Why do you just sit there

like that?

You're not thinking about Poppy?

You're not worried where she is?

Oh, I'm thinking.. thinking

about where Poppy might be.

I have my own little theory, Neandra.

And I wasn't going to offer

it because I

didn't want to offend you.

But now, since you're so

interested in my thoughts

on Poppy's where abouts,

I might as well just tell you.

Go on.

Tell me.

I want to hear this theory.

Rex.

That's my theory.

Rex?

That's not even a theory.

Nobody here understands your

crazy theories, Anaconda.

I think it's pretty easy to comprehend.

First Dina gets killed,

so then Rex

runs away with Poppy,

innocent Poppy,

because he would do anything

to get

out of your controlling grasp.

And don't tell me the thought

didn't run through your head.

Stop it, dinosaur head!

Something monstrous.

I am the leader!

I saved the tribe!

I killed the beast!

Listen to me!

I know I keep saying that Poppy

ran off with Neandra's man.

But what it that's not the truth?

What if she's dead?

It's likely, Ana.

I'm so worried about Poppy.

Don't mention that troglodyte's

name again!

She decided to leave us,

and she did.

There's no point in dwelling

on it.

Neandra!

Poppy didn't leave.

She was taken.

We are being hunted.

Can't you see?

I killed the beast!

I saved our tribe!

And you are our leader.

And I.. yes.

You know, I think we need something

to take our mind off all this.

What do you say we go gathering, huh?

Sure.

Yeah.

Neandra, I am sure Rex is

coming back.

I'm sorry for all I said earlier.

Yeah, he's probably planning

on surprising me with something.

I'm sure he is.

Ana?

Anaconda?

Where are you?

Ana?

Ana, where are you?

No need to worry.

Ana won't forget me for too long.

Maybe we'll just sit here and wait.

All done.

The Butcher!

Oh, we left Bamba behind!

I'll get her.

You go back and take these rocks.

Tell the old witch I'm sorry.

Bamba?

Maybe we shouldn't take a

blind person..

Impossible!

I saved everyone!

You just wanted to prove a point,

didn't you?

You cro-mag, Bamba!

Why did you do this to me?

Silly, caveman, you don't say much.

I don't.

Where's Bamba?

I couldn't find her.

But she's all right.

We all know how crazy Bamba

gets during mating season.

True, true.

Me know!

How about we have our evening

theater tonight?

Ok.

Thank you for all you've done.

I love you.

Two down, two to go.

We're halfway there.

Ho and Po,

that was a beautiful duck dance.

Ana, Ana, Ana, Ana, Ana.

Ok, ok.

I've been waiting two moons for

my turn in the evening theater.

And what I'd like to

do is have all of you

participate with me in a game

of charades.

Animal!

Two leg.

T-Rex!

Raptor!

Raptorex!

No, stupid!

Monster!

Could be.

Butcher!

Oh, good job, ugly kids.

Ok.

Next..

Ok.

How about we move on to

something else, hmm?

Ok.

How about some music?

Hi.

I'm Rodney on the rock,

and I'm here

to introduce to you and my friend,

Duck Duck, a band

that I'm not too sure of.

But give them a chance.

They're called the Ugly Kids.

You know,

charades was a good idea, Ana.

Thanks, Neandra.

But, you know,

the Ugly Kids were really rad.

Rodney and Duck Duck seemed

a little unsure about them.

But I think they rocked.

You know, it's so silly, us fighting.

And over what?

People have just been worried,

with Dina's body

going missing and then Poppy.

It's all just a coincidence, them

disappearing at the same time.

Well, Ana,

I'm no longer sure of that.

There's something I need

to tell you, Anaconda.

Oh, and I really want to hear that.

But can you hold that thought?

I really have to use the

little cavegirl's room.

I'll be right back.

Hey, Ana?

Be careful.

Ok, yeah.

Rex, is that you?

Have you seen Anaconda?

I haven't seen her since

the moon lied at level

with the Cherimoya Trees.

Ana?

Me no see Ana.

No!

The Butcher!

No!

Kill Neandra!

That's it!

First Dina's body, then Poppy,

then Bamba.

And I knew, I knew then!

I knew something was wrong!

Now Ana.

Ana could be gone, gone for good.

Could I have stopped this?

Saved her life?

Bigger beast?

Bigger than the one I killed?

It can't..

Ana!

Rex!

You and Poppy?

I got you something.

A poppy.

Ooh.

Saber-tooth!

Ana!

Anaconda, where are you?

No!

The tribe.

The noises don't sound human.

Not like an animal, either.

I bet it was you.

You're the one who's

responsible for all this.

You snake!

You filthy snake!

It was you who killed Ana,

didn't you?

Whatever you are, you're the

one we've been looking for,

and you're going to die tonight!

The legend, it's true!

You're what has been killing everyone!

A monster like you?

Ha!

I just thought you'd be, well, scarier.

I saved my tribe!

Neandra, savior,

leader of them all!
