[Dana]
A whole herd of mammoths?

They're beautiful.



[Grandma]
Let's go, Dana.

Grandma, you won't
believe it.

How hard it was
to find parking?

You're right,
I don't believe it.

We're already ten minutes late
for your soccer game.

Now go join
your team, Dana.

[Dana]
Um... That's not my team.

That's my team.

Hey, Dana.

[Dana]
Hey, Riley.

[Coach]
Oh, good.

We can start, now that
all of our players

are actually here.

[Dana & Riley]
Roar! [chuckling]



Where's your mom, Dana?

Isn't she here
to coach your team?

Mom had to take Dexter
to an appointment, so--

[Grandma]
I'm stepping in.

Coach Grandma.

Oh. Well--

[whistle blows]

Alright.

That's the game whistle.

Time to play!

[Grandma]
Go, go, go! Get 'em, Dana!

Listen, I'm sorry

I was a bit short with you
when you got here.

I'm just in
a bit of a rush.

But this game
won't take long.

Oh, of course.
No apologies necessary.

But why won't
the game take long?

Well,

our team is actually
undefeated.

Oh. What's our record?

Oh, your team...

has never won.

Never?

Never even scored a goal.

That's impossible.

Yeah, you'd think.

[whistle blows]

-Good luck.
-You too.

[whistle blows]

[crowd applauding]

Whoa! Sneaky steal!

Thanks. I've been working on it.

[crowd applauding]

Nice goal, Riley.

I'm starting to see
why they never scored.

Excellent work, team.

That beats our record
for fastest goal.

It only took you
ten seconds to score!

Interesting work, team.

But don't worry,
I'm here to help -

and you're going to need
a lot of it.

You were running
the wrong way,

you were doing cartwheels,

and you...

I don't know
what you were doing.

Were you even
on the field?

Um, Grandma,

Mom just wants us
to have fun.

Well, there's having fun

and then there's winning.

And trust me,

winning can be fun.

[whistle blows]

Excuse me. I'm coaching.

We're going to need
a timeout.

Now, the first step is

to get the ball

and control it.
[animal snarls faintly]

[Grandma]
Like this.

[Dana gasps]
A Smilodon!

[roars]

And I think it's
hunting something.

I'll be right back,
Grandma!

[splutters]

No cartwheels!

[Dana]
A baby mammoth?

He's what you're hunting?

But the baby
is defenseless.

He doesn't even
have tusks yet!

[loud trumpeting]

[Dana]
But they do.

Mammoths are some
of the more fearsome

prehistoric mammals ever.

They use their tusks
and heavy bodies

to battle predators -

except they aren't
right now!

What are they doing?

The adult mammoths
are forming a circle

around the baby.

Smilodon can't get through!

Better luck next time, friend!

The adult mammoths
surrounded the baby

to protect her.

Maybe my team

can protect the ball
the same way!

And whatever you do,

do not let the other
team score. Understood?

Grandma, guess what.

If this is about dinosaurs,

you can tell me
after the game, sweetie.

It's not about dinosaurs.

It's about prehistoric mammals!

And soccer.

Go ahead.

I just saw a herd of mammoths

protect a baby mammoth
from a Smilodon

by surrounding it.

I thought you said
this was about soccer.

If we can surround the ball

like the mammoths
surrounded their baby,

Riley's team won't
be able to get it.

[Grandma]
"Mammoth mode"?

This could actually work.

[whistle blows]

Alright, team. Let's go.

Go, Go, Go!

Ready, everyone?

Mammoth mode.

[Riley]
Hey.

[Riley]
Hey!

It's working!

Now score a goal
for Coach Grandma!

Mom...!

Are they going to keep
doing that until the--

[whistle blows twice]
--clock runs out?

[crowd applauding]

That's halftime.

At least they stopped you
from scoring.

Yeah.

[Grandma]
Okay, kids.

We got your defense down.

Now we need to
work on your offense.

And you've never
heard that word before.

Oh, Eva...

Okay,

you can't protect the ball
for the whole game.

You need to try to
run with it and score.

But if we don't surround it,
Riley will get it.

Exactly.

We need to
figure out a way

to get that ball
from that girl.

"That girl" is
my best friend.

I'm your coach.

During the game,

I'm your best friend,

and that goes for all of you.
[animal snarls faintly]

[gasps]

Smilodon is back!
[Smilodon roars]

I wonder what it's hunting
this time.

I'll be back, Grandma -

hopefully with
something we can use.

Alright.

Let's practice
our offensive faces.

Arrrr!

[team, weakly]
Arrrr.

[Dana]
A nest?

Now you're hunting
for eggs?

But you don't know who
this nest belongs to.

[snarls]

[squawking]

[Dana]
Titanis.

That nest belongs
to that Terror Bird.

I'm not so sure you want to
take her on, Smilodon.

Titanis used
their hooked beaks

to tear their prey apart.

[snarling and squawking]

[Dana]
You'd better run, Smilodon!

Better luck next time--

[animal snarls]

[Dana]
Another Smilodon?

And he got an egg!

[squawking and snarling]

The Smilodon worked together
to distract the Titanis

so that they could
get an egg.

Maybe my team can
score a goal the same way!

Put the ball in the net.

That's the whole point
of this game.

That's why we're here:

ball in net.

Grandma, I've got something.

Good, 'cause
I got nothin'.

I just saw a Smilodon
distract a Titanis

while another Smilodon went in
and stole one of its eggs.

We're not trying
to steal eggs.

No, but imagine
the egg is a ball.

We can use Smilodon mode
to distract Riley's team,

steal the ball, and score!

[whistle blows]

[Grandma]
"Smilodon mode."

I like it!

Alright, team. Let's go!

Go! Go! [laughs]

[whistle blows]

Alright, team.
Smilodon mode!

-Roar!
-What? Ack!

Steal that ball, Smilodon!

♪ ♪

I did it! I scored!

She scored!

My granddaughter scored!

[whistle blows]

What's that whistle for?

[Coach] Game's over.
Good job, Coach.

Game's over?
But it's a tie.

[Riley]
Nice goal, Dana.

[Dana]
Thanks, Riley.

I used the Smilodon
attack method.

-Bye!
-See you later!

[Grandma] Isn't there
an overtime or something?

I mean, uh,

we have to find out
who the winner is.

[squawking and trumpeting]

Why?

Grandma, predators and prey

are in a constant
battle for survival,

but if one of them
won all the time,

the other wouldn't survive.

Nature is usually a tie.

Hmph. Ehh...

We did get your team's
first goal ever, didn't we?

Yes, we did!

[laughs] Hey, when's
your next game?

Maybe I can come back
and coach again.

-[Dana] Um, sure.
-[Grandma] That'd be good.

[Dana]
Sometimes, yeah.

[Grandma]
That would be great.

Right.

[quiet squawking]

I've been watching the
Incisivosaurus all morning,

and she hasn't
left her eggs once -

not even to eat.

She must be hungry.

[fast-paced squawk]

[Dana]
Compsognathus!

And you definitely
look hungry.

[dinosaurs sniff
and squawk]

For eggs!

Now I can do
dino experiment 719,

"How do dinosaurs protect
their eggs from egg-eaters?"

[gasps] He's going in.

What's the
Incisivosaurus doing?

She's staying on her eggs
and snapping

each time the Compy
leans in to get one.

Ouch. That looked like
it hurt.

But not as much as
it would hurt to lose an egg.

Good job protecting
your eggs, Incisivosaurus.

[cooing and squawking]

I can handle it, Dad.

Just give me a chance.
Come on.

It's a big
responsibility, Saara.

You know who's
really responsible?

Me?

No. The Incisivosaurus.

She protected her eggs
by staying on them,

even when a Compsognathus
tried to get one.

Isn't that incredible?

As incredible
as it would be

if Dad let me babysit
you and Dexter instead of Cai

when he and Mom
go out tonight.

Why do you want
to babysit so bad?

For money.

And to spend more
quality time

with my lovely family.

But mostly for the money.

Why pay Cai
when you can pay me?

Because Cai
doesn't just babysit.

Cai goes above and beyond.

She even does
the laundry sometimes.

I can do the laundry.

Cai also hangs it
out to dry.

I can hang it up to dry.

And she performs
dino experiments with me.

I can...

You can help me with
dino experiment 719,

"How do dinosaurs protect
their eggs from egg-eaters?"

[Dad]
Protecting eggs, huh?

That gives me an idea.

In high school, I had to
take care of an egg

and pretend it was my kid.

What happened?

Your uncle Ravi ate my kid.

And I almost failed.

What am I supposed to do
with this?

Here's the deal:

if you can do
all the chores and--

The dino experiment
with Dana.

...and the dino experiment
with Dana

without cracking this egg,

I'll cancel Cai,
and you can babysit.

Thanks, Dad!

Failed.

Oh no! Not fair!

I didn't know
we had started yet.

I'll get you another egg.

And I'll find another nest

for us to investigate
together.

[Saara]
Ugh.

You can start the laundry
with this shirt.

[Saara]
Yeah...

I can't find any
dino nests anywhere.

[knocking]

Bad news, Seester.

I can't locate
any new dino nests.

That is bad news.

In the meantime,
can you do me a favor

by hanging up these sheets
on the clothesline?

On it, Seester.

Thanks, Seester.

[sighs]

[takes deep breath]
Remember the money.

Saara must have accidently
folded the egg up.

I'd better get you
back to her.

[squawking]

Compsognathus is back.

How am I going to
protect this egg from you?

[dinosaur tweeting
and squawking]

[Dana]
Incisivosaurus! That's it!

Ah. Safe.

Dana, have you seen
that egg

I was supposed to be
looking after?

Uh-huh.

Oh, good!
Where is it?

Please don't tell me
you're sitting on the egg.

[sighs]

I think you meant to say,

"Thanks, little Seester,
for looking after the egg

when I was supposed to be."

Thank you.

But you're lucky
you didn't crush it.

Good point, Saara.

What if a dino was too big

to sit on their eggs
to protect them?

Then what would they do?

This is where Cai would
check her phone for me.

Okay.

Hmm. It says here that
some animals bury their eggs.

Maybe there's a dino
that does that.

But which one?

How about you keep
hanging up the laundry,

and I'll go get
the next load done,

and then we'll
figure it out?

Can't we figure it out now?

Later's fine.

[sniffing]

Compsognathus?

What do you smell now?

Hey, wait up!

[squawking quietly]

[sniffing]

[both dinosaurs
squawking quietly]

[Dana]
Psittacosaurus!

Look! She's burying her eggs!

Careful, Compsognathus.

Psittacosaurus has
sharp quills

that they use
to fight off predators.

[both squawking quietly]

Sorry, Compy.

Those eggs are too deep
for you to dig down to.

[both squawking loudly]

[Dana]
Looks like the Psittacosaurus

is too big to sit
on her eggs,

so she buries them
to protect them.

Saara was right!

I should go tell her.

Saara?

Are you in here?

No. But her egg is.

[squawking]

Oh no you don't.

Go find something else to eat.

He's not giving up.

I know!

I'll bury Saara's egg
like the Psittacosaurus did!

No way you'll be able

to dig it out of
all that laundry, Compy.

♪ ♪

[squawking quietly
and sniffing]

Aha!

It worked,

just like it did
for the Psittacosaurus.

Dana, don't get angry,

but I had to borrow some change
from your dino bank.

Oh no. I think I left
the egg upstairs.

No, you didn't.

You left it down here.

So you put it
in the dirty laundry?

I buried it
in the dirty laundry,

just like the
Psittacosaurus did,

so the Compy
wouldn't get it

and you would
get to babysit.

Thanks, Seester.

Babysitting is harder
than I expected.

Oh, I'm missing a quarter.

I must have dropped it
on the way down.

Can you look after the egg
while I go find it?

No problem, Seester.

Your egg is safe with...

Give me back
Saara's egg, Compy!

I need that egg
or Saara can't babysit,

which means she won't
do dino experiments with me!

Give me Saara's egg, Compy.

[Dana] I mean... give me
Saara's egg, Pterodactylus.

Your nest is on the roof!

[squawks]

She must think Saara's egg
is one of hers.

[squawking loudly]

[Dana]
Sorry, Compy.

Building their nests up high
must be how some Pterosaurs

protect their eggs
from egg-eaters like you.

[squawking quietly]

How am I going to
get Saara's egg down?

Think, Dana, think.

Compy got Saara's egg from me
because it was so quick.

[squawking loudly]

Ow! Stop, Pterodactylus!

This isn't even your egg!

[squawking]

[panting]

[panting] Dana,

be careful with that egg.

I am being careful with it!

I saved it from a Compsognathus
who wanted to eat it

and a Pterodactylus who wanted
to raise it as its own,

and I helped you
with laundry

and I finished
my dino experiment, too.

Oh. You finished your
dino experiment without me?

Yep. And it was a really
exciting one, too.

Hey, girls.

How goes the babysitting
practice run?

Whoa. Good job, Saara.

Congratulations.

You get to babysit tonight.

I'll call Cai.

Thank you, but...

...I'd rather do
a dino experiment

with my little Seester.

Really?

I have so many we can do.

Like, honestly, hundreds.

Uh...
