-[theme music playing]

-[whooping and laughing]

[tribal music playing]

[Quinn] Once upon a time,

in the heart of wild Australia,

deep in the vast

and boundless landscape

of the Outback,

there lived a village

of bandicoots!

-[lively music playing]

-[yawns]

-Morning, Sam.

-Hey, Bill.

[Quinn] These bandicoots

worked hard all year

gathering food,

tuber vegetables, mushrooms,

anything the land

could provide.

And provide it did!

When winter came,

the land would be empty,

but the bandicoots' stockpile

would be full.

The bandicoots would celebrate

with a big feast

-before settling in

for the long winter.

-[upbeat music playing]

All their friends were invited!

The emus,

the wombats, the kangaroos.

The koalas only liked

to eat eucalyptus leaves,

but with the right spices,

you can't tell the difference.

[squeaks]

[squeals]

The bandicoots

were excellent cooks!

The feast was happy and safe,

hidden away from

carnivores and scavengers

and other monsters.

Back then,

the monsters lived far away,

on a mysterious island.

Tasmania!

And on Tasmania,

there was one monster worse

than all the others.

-[footsteps thudding]

-A ravenous beast

with long, sharp teeth,

-ready to eat anything

in its path.

-[growls]

Or anyone!

Luckily for

the bandicoot village,

the monster stayed

on the island.

Or so they thought!

[creature growls]

That fateful night,

while the village

celebrated their feast,

someone else was preparing for

a feast of his own!

-[growls]

-The Tasmanian terror!

The Tasmanian monster!

The Tasmanian Devil!

[snarls]

[howls]

[growls] Tasmanian Devil!

There's no escape! [howls]

Your daughter's quite

the storyteller there.

What's that? Oh! Oh, boy.

[nervously] Uh, Quinn!

Hey, Quinn! [chuckles]

[growls and snarls] Yeah?

H-How would you like

to learn how to grill? Huh?

A little

father-daughter bonding?

-[growling]

-[grunts]

Okay, okay.

I think this story might be

just a little too scary.

Don't worry, Dad.

A hero comes in

and saves the day!

[dramatic music playing]

-The Lone Buckaroo!

-[all groaning]

[Stan] Oh, crikey.

[Quinn] The Lone Buckaroo!

Scourge of the carnivores.

Hero of the Outback.

[creature growls]

[all] Wow!

-[all sarcastically] Wow!

-[Melanie unimpressed] Eh.

[growls]

-[all grunting]

-Quinn, stop! please!

Ugh. Hold on.

[dramatic music playing]

Ha!

[growls]

Look out! He's preparing

his signature att*ck.

The Tasmanian devil spin!

[Aristotle] That's not what

the Tasmanian Devil does.

Yes, it is!

He spins around

really, really fast.

Yeah, but it's not

a somersault. It's a cartwheel.

Hey, have you

ever seen the Tasmanian Devil?

Seen him?

Well, no.

But my dad knows

all about him and--

[all] Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!

You've seen

the Tasmanian Devil?

Oh, man. That's so cool!

-How tall is he?

-[boy] How short is he?

Wait! This is my story!

Uh, well, I've never seen

the Tasmanian Devil.

But I know a guy

who knows a guy.

[all] Wow!

I wish my dad knew guys.

Oh, does he cartwheel

or somersault?

It's more of

a tornado kinda deal.

-Why did he leave Tasmania?

-Nobody knows.

Uh, does he eat bandicoots?

Well, he eats everything,

so it--

How many of us

could he fit in his mouth?

Like if he really

crammed us in there?

I don't know.

Uh, three, four?

[all exclaim] Cool!

He's not cool!

He's a beast, a monster.

Waiting in the darkness

to eat you alive.

[gasps in fear]

He's not gonna eat you.

He may be scary,

but the Tasmanian Devil hasn't

bothered anyone in years.

-Which means he's hungry.

-[whimpering]

No.

Tonight's the night.

He's coming for ya.

Quinn, stop! He's gonna cry.

-[whimpering]

-Then I better tell him about

the hero that will save him.

-The Lone Buckaroo!

-[crying]

Now, where were we?

Charlie, I believe you were

hiding behind that rock.

-[all grumble]

-[boy grumbling]

The Lone Buckaroo.

Oh, hey! Maybe this time,

The Lone Buckaroo's friends

can help her b*at

the Tasmanian Devil.

That way everyone can play.

-[all clamoring excitedly]

-[Quinn] What? Huh?

Fine.

[unenthusiastically]

Once upon a time,

there was a Tasmanian Devil,

and he fought the lone

as in a Lone Buckaroo.

-[Taz grunts quizzically]

-Hi-ya!

And her friend,

the other Lone Buckaroo.

No, there's only one of me.

And their friend,

Super Bandicoot!

[Taz grunts]

No super powers! You can only--

[Aristotle howls]

[all shouting excitedly]

Come on, Quinn.

Why don't you join in?

The Lone Buckaroo works alone.

Even if that means

getting eaten. [grunts]

-[ominous music playing]

-[slurps]

[all screaming]

[grunts and groans]

Whoops! Sorry, Quinn.

Let me just fix that for ya.

Aw, it's just Ned.

I thought it was

a real crocodile.

Ned's a real crocodile.

Yeah, but you know what I mean.

Hey, Ned.

Just in time for dinner.

[grunts] Oh, dinner!

[grunts]

One bandicoot style

eucalyptus leaf for the koala.

-Tastes just like

real eucalyptus.

-[Koala] Mmm!

And for the crocodile,

my own recipe,

bandicoot style veggie burgers.

[chuckles]

Tastes just like real, uh,

[clears throat] bandicoots.

[chomping]

I thought Ned was the crocodile

that didn't eat bandicoots.

Oh, no, no, no. He doesn't.

[chuckles] Ned doesn't

eat meat anymore.

But you used to?

Yup! That's how we met.

I almost ate him.

[chuckles] So embarrassing.

[nervously] Uh, but...

But I told him I knew

how to make veggie burgers

that taste like meat.

So now he eats them instead.

They taste better than meat,

and I don't even have to hunt.

All the other carnivores

think I'm crazy.

I tell them,

hunting is for suckers.

Bandicoot village

is where it's at.

You don't actually

tell carnivores

to come to our village, do you?

Hmm? No! No.

I just tell 'em that

if they tasted these burgers,

they'd never eat meat again.

You should make more.

[chomps]

[chuckles] I wish.

But this stockpile

needs to last us

through the winter.

Aw, jeez. I don't want

to eat all your food.

[chomps and belches]

Now why don't you

tell me the recipe

so I can make my own?

No way. No, no.

It's too dangerous.

More dangerous than hunting?

They're vegetables!

They're just eggs laid

by a tree.

Okay, I don't actually

know what vegetables are,

but I know there's

nothing dangerous

about tossing 'em on a grill.

Yeah, you don't

wanna overcook it.

Here, let me show you.

[humming]

Okay, now it gets tricky.

[tribal music playing]

if you add

too much scorpion venom,

it's poisonous.

But if you add too little,

even more poisonous.

Don't ask.

Overcooking makes it explode.

[clears throat]

While under-cooking

gives it a weird aftertaste.

Also melts your stomach.

Ah, it took me years to learn,

and I'm the only bandicoot

that can do it.

That's why this year's feast

is so special.

I'm going to teach Quinn

how to cook. [chuckles]

Now where is she, anyway?

[knocking]

[gasping]

-Whoops! Sorry.

-[whimpers and grunts]

Ah, there you are.

How'd you like to learn

how to grill, huh?

Why? So I can bribe Ned

to not eat me?

It's not a bribe.

Ned guards

our village every night,

and we feed him in return.

He's... He's our friend.

I'm a vegetarian now.

Yeah, now.

How many bandicoots did you eat

before my dad became

your personal chef?

[sighs]

Uh, why don't you

put those aside?

I think I'm full.

Quinn, where are you're going?

To my room!

Unless you want to give that

to some other kid, too.

Hey. Uh, how big is the room?

My mom says my energy

takes up a lot of space.

[groans] Quinn!

[somber music playing]

[sighs] You weren't

very nice to Ned.

So? He tried to eat you.

Well, he didn't know

any better.

Ned has protected us for years.

Anyone can change

if you give them the chance.

I wish we didn't need his help.

Well, needing help is

a good way to make friends.

And the village

has never been safer.

It wasn't always like this.

You're too young to remember,

but there was a time

when we were never safe.

A time when

I couldn't protect everyone.

Now, it's just you and me.

I worry about you.

I know.

Well, that's why I wanted

to teach you to cook.

Maybe it'll get you

out of trouble one day,

like it did for me.

You know what I always say...

[both] "If you can't

b*at 'em, feed 'em."

But I was telling a story,

and it was just getting good.

Or at least,

I thought so. [sighs]

The other kids think I'm weird.

Yeah, well all kids are weird.

That little one over there

picks his nose with his tail.

Yeah, look,

adventure stories are fun,

but they aren't going

to protect you.

I guess.

Here. Tomorrow morning,

you'll learn how to cook.

Now it's bed time.

Can't I read some more?

Nope, it's too dark.

Hey! [giggles]

Goodnight, Quinn. Love you.

[Quinn's voice echoing]

Love you too, Dad. Goodnight.

[tribal music playing]

[in sing-song voice] Night.

[sighs]

[snoring]

[both scream]

-Morning, Quinn!

-[panting]

Your dad asked me

to wake you up extra early.

I always wanted

to be a rooster. [giggles]

[screaming]

Dad? Dad?

Huh. He's probably getting

ingredients from the stockpile.

[gasps] Our food!

It's gone!

Who could have done this?

Ned!

[grunting] Ned. Huh?

Wait a minute.

[crying] It wasn't me!

It was dingoes!

Dingoes?

Why didn't you fight them off?

You're supposed to protect us.

These weren't just any dingoes.

It was Rocky's g*ng!

They're vicious!

There were so many of them.

And one of them

was really big, and--

Ned!

Why would dingoes

take our vegetables?

They're carnivores.

They must've heard

about the veggie burgers.

Gee, I wonder how

they heard that, Mr. Big Mouth.

Why didn't you tell them

the recipe takes years

of practice,

and my dad's the only one

who can make them?

-I did!

-And?

They took your dad, too.

[shouts] They what?

[dramatic music playing]

Wait! Come back!

-These tracks lead

into the ocean.

-[panting]

But there's nothing

in that direction except...

[gasps]

Tasmania?

Exactly. None of us

have ever been there,

so it's the perfect place

to disappear.

All of our food gone.

And nothing will grow

'til next spring.

What happened, Ned?

Did you fall asleep?

No, he was awake.

I heard him crying all night.

I was not!

I... Okay, maybe I was

a little distracted.

Quinn hurt my feelings

pretty bad.

[nervously] What?

You're a crocodile!

You're supposed

to have thick skin.

Look, it's not important.

Let's just go to Tasmania

and get my dad back.

Isn't Tasmania kinda dangerous?

I heard there's carnivores,

and they're even

bigger and meaner

than the ones we have here.

You said it's full of monsters!

[all clamoring]

[shouts] Enough!

I'm the one

who let this happen. I'll go.

Rocky's g*ng may be tough,

and they may have

beaten me up once,

and there may be

no reason at all

to expect I'll succeed,

so you know what?

I've changed my mind.

[clapping]

Fine. If none of you

are brave enough,

I'll get someone meaner

than a crocodile

who could take on 100 dingoes.

The Tasmanian Devil?

What? No, no, no. The Lone...

Hey, that's not a bad idea.

Whoa! Nu-uh! Nope. Time out.

The real Tasmanian Devil

is different than the one

from your stories.

Trust me, the guy's a mess.

He's out to lunch.

And good thing, too,

because if he ever

came to his senses,

he'd probably eat all of us,

including me.

You used to be

a carnivore too, remember?

Although without

my dad's burgers,

maybe you'll go back

to eating meat.

[ominous music playing]

No! No,

I'm still vegetarian, see?

-[chomping] Ugh.

Is mud a vegetable?

-No.

-What about koalas?

-[shouts] No!

Okay, just checking.

Boy, this is gonna be rough.

Your dad didn't leave

any burgers behind?

Just one.

And I'm taking it

to the Tasmanian Devil.

If you can't b*at 'em,

feed 'em.

Quinn, as your new father,

I forbid you from doing this!

You're not my dad,

and I don't need your help!

Just like The Lone Buckaroo.

Scourge of the dingoes.

Hero of the bandicoots!

And the Tasmanian Devil.

Eater of dingoes

and of crocodiles...

And of birds and of rocks!

-And bandicoots.

-Yeah, can't forget bandicoots.

Right. That is, if I can even

find where he lives.

Oh, I heard he lives

in a spooky cave,

11.2 kilometers,

107 degrees east,

south-east of here.

slightly left of

the billabong tree.

That's very helpful. Thanks.

Quinn! get back here,

young lady!

[sigh] They grow up

so fast these days.

You know, my mom carried me

in her mouth for two years.

Yikes!

[dramatic music playing]

I've been walking all day,

I can't be far now.

That must be it!

Hmm, I wonder if I can

see Tasmania from here.

Hey, that doesn't

look too scary.

That goat even looks

kinda friendly.

[growling loudly]

Suddenly the Tasmanian Devil

doesn't seem so scary.

[ominous music playing]

[nervously] I-I don't think

I should do this.

I don't think I can do this!

Luckily for me,

it never matters what I think.

[grunting]

[creature growling]

-[cautiously] H-hello?

-[creature grumbles]

[echoing] I'm looking for

the Tasmanian Devil!

[creature growling louder]

[thudding]

[belches]

[flies buzzing]

You're the Tasmanian Devil?

Hmm? No. Me, uh, someone else.

Not Taz.

[slurps]

Yes, you are. You're him.

I mean,

you're a little more... stubby.

But it's definitely you.

Taz not here. Taz dead.

Please, I need your help.

Our food was stolen.

What kind food?

-Vegetables.

-Meh.

-They also took my dad!

-What kind dad?

A bandicoot.

Like me, but bigger.

-Ah! [slurps]

-[chuckles nervously] Hold on.

I don't want you

to eat him. Or me.

That's actually important.

Probably should have

mentioned that first.

But I will pay you!

Feast your eyes on this!

Ew, what this you bring?

Look like mushroom

making bad mistake.

No! It's food.

It's delicious.

[sniffs]

Smell like turtle shell

with no turtle.

I know it doesn't

look like much,

but if you cook it right,

it tastes better than

anything you've ever eaten.

Or anyone. [chuckles nervously]

But my dad's the only one

who can cook it.

Help me rescue him,

and he'll make you

all the burgers you can eat.

I'd find him myself,

but I don't know my way

around Tasmania, and--

[shouts] Tasmania?

[slobbering] Me not go

to Tasmania.

Me not Taz.

Hey, wait!

Can I just ask you

some questions?

I won't be annoying or rude.

Or sometimes

I'm rude by accident,

but only when I'm excited.

[sniffs] It smells awful

in here.

Hmm, better than veggie booger.

You're supposed to cook it.

You know, with fire?

Not in here, though.

It smells like gas.

Is that how

you're supposed to smell

or are you extra smelly?

Aren't you lonely in here?

Why don't you want

to go to Tasmania?

Is it scary?

Did something bad happen there?

Did you eat this

entire whale by yourself?

You did, didn't you?

Doesn't look like

you have any family.

Me have family.

[Quinn] Mmm?

Oh! [chuckles] Very nice.

Yeah, very nice.

No room for little bandy-cooty.

Go away. Me go to bed.

You don't have a bed.

Just a big whale skeleton!

It pull out!

But me sleep on ground.

[grunts] Ow!

Please! I just need someone

who knows Tasmania.

I'll take on Rocky myself,

if I have to.

You say Rocky?

You've heard of him?

That's great!

Think of the adventure

we'll have.

[captivating music playing]

We'll take Tasmania by storm.

Working together, you and me.

[thuds]

We'll fight side by side,

and we'll take on all comers.

[koalas chittering]

[grunting]

Come on!

You're supposed to be

the Tasmanian Devil.

Like this, look.

[growling and babbling]

And then you

spin around like this.

[blowing raspberries]

-[Taz grunts]

-[yelps and grunts]

Me not Tasmanian Devil!

Aw nuts.

[eerie music playing]

I can't give up now.

I've got one more sh*t.

[triumphant music playing]

If I can grill this perfectly,

he won't be able to resist.

He'll have to lead me to Rocky.

[imitating Rocky crying]

"Please don't hurt us, Quinn!

You can have your dad back!"

[as Quinn] Too late

for apologies, Rocky.

En garde!

[fizzles]

[shouting] No!

[eerie music playing]

Ooh!

[grumbles]

[groans] Ow!

[sniffs]

Huh?

This never would have happened

if I wasn't so obsessed

with telling dumb stories.

Or if I were a time traveler!

"Once upon a time,

there was

a time-traveling bandicoot--"

[Taz growls and snarls]

Huh?

[Taz babbling

and growling loudly]

The Tasmanian Devil!

[sniffs and chomps]

Mmm!

Hmm?

Uh...

[yells] Argh!

Hot! Hot! Hot!

The water! Go to the water!

[babbling]

[objects clattering

and aquatic animals screeching]

[cat screeches]

More veggie booger.

[panting]

I told you it was good!

I never lie.

More! More! More! More!

We can get more.

All we have to do is go

to Tasmania and find Rocky.

Uh... no Rocky. No Tasmania.

Too scary

for little bandy-cooty.

I am sick and tired of everyone

telling me it's scary!

I know it's scary!

You know what else is scary?

Not having food.

Not having a dad.

I'm already scared.

[sobbing] And nobody wants

to be scared with me.

[burps]

Forget it!

Just eat me already.

At least I won't starve.

[captivating music playing]

-What your name?

-Quinn.

Quinn give more booger.

I told you

I don't have any more.

Hmm, we get more.

From Tasmania!

You... you mean you'll help?

Find Dad, more boogers.

[both] Find Dad, more boogers.

[both] Find Dad, more boogers.

[both] Find Dad, more boogers.

[both] Find Dad, more boogers.

Find Dad, more boogers.

Uh... okay.

[dramatic music playing]

More! More! More! More! More!

[gurgling] More!

[water gurgling]

[gasps]

More! More!

-[seagull squawks]

-More! More! More!

[water gurgling]

[gasping] More!

More!

[panting and chuckling]

[screams]

[water gurgling]

[groans] Ow.

[sighs]

Me have secret to tell.

Me really am Tasmanian Devil.

Yes, you are.

[Taz warbling sea shanty]

It's okay, Quinn.

He doesn't know any better.

Just enjoy the fresh air,

the gentle waves,

the cool ocean mist...

-[warbling and spitting]

-Ugh!

Excuse me, Mr. Devil?

Can you keep it down?

Oh, yeah, Tasmanian Devil

keep anything down.

Never getting sick.

Food never come back up.

Always keep down.

That's not what I meant.

See? Jellyfish poison.

But Tasmanian Devil

keep it down.

[yelping]

Jellyfish spicy!

[coughing]

[gasps] But Taz keep it down.

[panting]

You see? Never sick.

[stomach rumbling]

That normal.

Well, you might not

lose your lunch,

but I might

if you don't clean your face.

Ooh. Uh... Pardon.

Our sail!

What are you doing?

Great!

Now we're stranded

until one of us

eats the other one.

Really looking forward

to seeing how that plays out.

What for you yell at Taz

when I help Quinn?

For make music?

You sounded terrible.

Taz not warmed up.

Me me me me

[clears throat]

Me me me me

[clears throat]

Me me meeee!

[blows raspberry]

Look, once we rescue my dad,

I'll pay you,

and we can both go

our separate ways.

You don't have to get along.

I mean, you're not here

to make friends, right?

Uh...

Yeah.

Not friends.

Great.

Now let me try

and fix this sail.

-[water splashing]

-Now what?

Uh... Taz? Taz?

Whoa. Whoa!

[screaming]

Tasmania.

We're almost there, Taz!

Okay, you might wanna

slow down.

Taz?

Taz!

Oof!

Phew!

That could've been a lot worse.

[groans]

Home sweet home.

Taz! The raft Is ruined!

Oh, why did you

hit those rocks?

I told you to slow down.

Rocks slower.

Nothing slower than rock.

Well, we don't have time

to fix it now.

We'll have to rebuild it later.

After we've captured Rocky.

And when we do find him,

leave him to me.

Got it?

But you very small bandy cooty.

So? Just because he's bigger

you think he's gonna squash me

like a little bug?

No, bug much harder to squash.

I don't care.

Rocky's mine,

and that's an order!

Order?

What mean you order me?

It's nothing personal.

It's just business.

-That's the deal, remember?

-[grumbling]

Now, as the leader

of this investigation,

I say we go... this way.

Based on my understanding

of dingo criminal psychology,

I believe they're traveling

with the wind at their backs,

downhill wherever possible.

Whereas if they went this way,

they'd walk into the sea

and drown.

And that's not Rocky's style.

This is fun.

Come on, let's look

for clues in that swamp.

I wonder how the lone buckaroo

would handle this.

Wait! Swamp dangerous!

I'll be careful.

"The lone buckaroo

searched the dust

for footprints."

How am I supposed to

find footprints in the dust?

All I see is mud.

Maybe there's some

dust underneath...

Uh... crocodile.

Don't mind me.

Just passing through.

[crocodile growling]

[sighing]

Look, I don't want

to have to do this,

but I've taken on a lot

of crocodiles in my day.

Well, more like I've taken on

one crocodile a lot of times.

-Are all Tasmanian crocodiles

this big?

-[growls]

They are!

I should really be going,

and screaming.

Screaming and going!

[screaming]

[Taz straining]

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

I'm too young to die!

I'm just very mature

for my age!

[screaming]

[Taz babbling]

[both grunt]

-Taz?

-Yeah. Hello.

Not Quinn. Not Quinn.

Not think this Quinn.

-[frog croaking]

-Keep to be safe.

[gasping]

[spitting]

Okay, yeah. Not Quinn.

-You go.

-But I can help.

Go!

Taz! Taz!

Wow!

Go, Taz! Whoo-hoo!

-[crunches]

-Ugh.

Are you okay?

[grunts] Not really.

[screams]

Oh, no! They got him

in a death roll!

Hang on, Taz.

They're trying

to make you dizzy.

"Dizzy"?

Me never get dizzy.

[growling]

That was amazing.

You're amazing.

I'm so amazed.

-Are you ama--

-[grumbling]

My book.

Thanks, Taz.

Hey, wait up.

Wait for me.

[Quinn straining]

[panting]

[Quinn] Wow, this is nothing

like I pictured at all.

I mean, it's wild,

but it's so beautiful.

How does it feel to be back?

I'm sure

there's a lot to take in.

Yeah.

Take in thorn.

Take in splinter.

Somewhere take in

crocodile tooth.

No.

I mean, what do you feel?

Feel thorn.

No. What do you feel inside?

Thorn inside and outside.

That what make it thorn.

Okay, do you want me

to pluck them out?

We not have to be friend.

That what you say.

We don't have to be.

But that doesn't mean

we can't be.

I didn't mean

to hurt your feelings.

I didn't think

you even had friends.

[Taz grumbles]

I mean,

that's not what I meant.

Look, I have trouble

making friends, too.

I'm quiet

when I'm supposed to talk,

I talk when I'm

supposed to be quiet.

It's like everyone

knows the rules but me.

The only one I'm

really close to me is my dad.

And he's...

Not close at all.

Mmm. We find him.

Tasmania only so big.

Bandy cooty only so small.

But no more you order me.

Me know Tasmania.

Maybe I'm not

all the time smart,

But I'm not all the time dumb.

You're right.

I'm sorry.

Friends?

Friends.

Great.

Now will you let me

take out those thorns?

Yeah. Okay.

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

This is pretty deep

in your head.

[straining]

Maybe we should leave it?

Yeah. Leave that one. Ow!

Ow. Ow. Ow!

Hey, I found

that crocodile tooth.

That one not from today.

Ow! Ow!

[wind howling]

[bandicoot kids groaning]

All right, kids, bed time.

But I'm so hungry.

-Yeah, me too.

-[bandicoot kids] Me too.

I'm starving.

Well, the sooner

you go to sleep,

the sooner it'll be morning.

Is there gonna be food

in the morning?

Uh...

I can't tell you that,

it would spoil a surprise.

[chuckles nervously]

Look, just go to bed,

all right?

I'm too hungry for this.

-Let's go. Let's go. Move.

-[bandicoot kids grumbling]

Do you want me to keep watch?

Yeah.

Make sure nobody steals

our den, all right?

Thanks, Ned.

You're a big help.

Uh... Okay.

Good night.

[snoring]

[sniffs]

[grunting excitedly]

Good morning. I was gonna ask

if you're hungry,

but that's kind of

a dumb question, huh?

You find more veggie booger.

Not exactly. My dad

never taught me the recipe,

but I've seen him make it

a million times.

So I figured I'd do it

for breakfast.

One million breakfast?

I don't mean all at once.

I'm just making one.

Oh.

I'm pretty sure I got

the ingredients, right.

The important ones, anyway.

This might even be

an improvement.

This veggie booger?

-Yeah.

-Why it scream?

[screaming]

Oh, that's just air escaping.

Are you ready to try?

Yeah, yeah. [babbling]

We're going to take it

out of the fire this time.

Okay.

Bon appetit.

Bleh!

Well, how is it?

Tastes like food, only...

-Bad.

-Bad?

Yeah. Taste very bad.

Oh.

Well, maybe the recipe

needs some adjusting.

But why are you

still eating it?

Me never have bad food before.

You eat tons of weird stuff.

I watched you eat fire.

Yeah, that taste good.

For me, all food taste good.

Not this.

Ugh, this bad.

Okay, okay, I get it.

Let's just get moving.

The sooner we find my dad,

the sooner you can have

the real veggie burger.

Come on.

You don't have to finish that.

[belching]

What mean not finish?

Never mind.

[Taz babbling]

Taz!

[birds squawking]

Hey, Taz!

[blows raspberry]

Don't you think

we should be more quiet?

We don't want Rocky

to know we're coming.

It might be better

if we sneak up on him.

Okay. Yeah, we sneak.

[babbling quietly]

That's not how you sneak.

Like this...

Move like a shadow,

flow like water.

[Quinn whispering]

Move like a shadow,

flow like water...

Surprise!

Huh?

See? Now you try.

Move like a shadow,

flow like water...

[Taz babbling]

Here, let me get that for you.

How are you

such a fearsome predator

when you don't even know

how to sneak?

If everyone hears you coming,

they have time

to get out of your way.

Not if me not know

which way me going.

[laughs]

Shh!

Some things better

not to surprise.

[whispering] Like what?

[twig snaps]

[snakes hissing]

This good example.

Oops. Sorry.

I didn't mean to

sneak up on you there.

[chuckles nervously]

[screaming]

Hang on.

[straining]

[Quinn screaming]

[whirring]

[both screaming]

We're safe.

I think. How do you do this

without getting dizzy?

Whoa! Whoa!

If... If only we were heavier.

Finally, some good luck.

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.

-[creaking]

-Uh...

I think we should all step off

at the same time.

One, two, three!

I really am small, huh?

-Ow. Ow. Ow...

-Shoo! Shoo!

[straining]

High five!

Ow!

Taz! Oh, my gosh!

Are you okay?

[straining]

How come ground move?

We have earthquake?

Quinn! You find dad!

Look just like him.

You raise fine daughter.

Aw! Thanks. But I think

you're seeing double.

You're just dizzy, that's all.

Taz never dizzy!

Oh, yeah. That's right...

Maybe me hit head?

You think

that's what caused it?

No. I think maybe that fix it.

-[thumping]

-No.

-No.

-Stop!

You're going to make it worse!

That one not on purpose.

[groans]

Taz!

Uh-oh. Brain fell out.

You take.

In case you need extra.

This isn't a brain.

It's a potato!

Give back if you no like.

No, no, no.

I mean, this a potato.

And your brain is fine.

Mostly.

Do you realize what this means?

Yeah.

But you say first.

This is from our stockpile!

Rocky and the Dingoes

came this way.

[gasps] Look at these tracks.

Hmm. They must be dragging

our food on a sled!

They left the rainforest

and crossed over those plains.

Don't you see?

We're getting close.

We're going to find my dad!

Ya-hoo!

Hurry! Hurry!

Oh, I wish there was

a faster way for us to travel.

Maybe that eagle would have

helped us if we didn't

knock him out of the sky,

and catapult him into the sun.

Not need eagle.

No one faster

than Tasmanian Devil!

[groans]

Wait.

Can do this.

[groans]

Hey, hey!

Maybe you should stop spinning.

[gasps] If me not spin,

me not Tasmanian Devil!

Maybe me wombat,

or big stinky mouse.

[sniffs] Ugh!

No, no.

I shouldn't have rushed you.

We can slow down

for a little while.

Can you see the trail?

Or do you need help?

Me not need help!

[thuds]

-[groans softly]

-There's nothing wrong

with needing help.

It's a good way

to make friends.

Come on!

[eerie music playing]

Hmm.

Looks like the trail's leading

towards those mountains.

I didn't know

you had mountains.

You have everything here!

[echoes] It's wonderful!

Scary but wonderful.

It must have been a fun place

to explore when

you're growing up.

It okay.

Just okay?

It's in your name!

That's like if I were from

a place called "Quinnsland"

or something.

My dad says

I'm named after my mom,

which makes sense.

It would be weird if I was

named before her, right?

But I've never met my mom.

What about you?

What are your parents like?

-Me run away.

-Wow, really?

Run away?

Sounds like a good story.

Bad memory.

Bad memories

are the best stories!

What did you do

after you ran away?

Bad things.

Like what?

[gasps] Wait! What if

it's not your head that's

making you dizzy?

What if it's a memory

you don't even remember?

You know,

like from your subconscious?

You've got to

tell me everything!

It's like, imagine you were bit

by a snake,

and I have to suck out

the poison!

Let's do the memory first.

What's your worst memory?

Me feel lost.

Uh-huh!

Me not know where to go.

Yes! Tell me more!

That all.

We lost.

Oh.

You mean the trail. Rats.

Well, things can only

go up from here.

Why won't you tell me

what you did?

It can't be that bad.

It's not like you stole

a bunch of food

and kidnapped my dad.

As long as you're not Rocky,

you're okay in my book.

-Speaking of books--

-How come you talk

when me have headache?

And quiet when near snake?

Always wrong time you talk!

[both grunting]

Sorry for trying

to get to know you.

You're the one who wanted

to be friends

in the first place.

-Not me.

-Oh, yeah?

Yeah!

I didn't want your help.

I wanted to come here

by myself.

Well, me just here

for veggie booger.

[mockingly] Oh, you'll get your

"veggie booger"!

I can't wait to pay you,

so I never

have to see you again!

Yeah, and me not have to hear

little bandy cooty!

Fine, then!

We don't have to talk!

And when this is over,

we'll never speak again.

-Good.

-Good.

-Yeah, that good.

-Very good!

Total silence,

never speak again.

-[Taz] Yeah, never talk.

-[Quinn] Fine by me.

And another thing,

instead of making imaginary

friends out of seaweed,

maybe jump in the water

and take a bath instead! Ugh!

Maybe you read book about

not being nosy little

bandy cooty!

I'm intellectually curious.

That for sure.

Hey! What do you mean by that?

And since when

are you Mr. Clever?

I happen to be... uh...

[shivering] Freezing.

It's cold up here.

It get cold everywhere.

Winter.

Hey! A snow flake!

Let's have a contest to see who

can catch the most

on their tongues.

[chomping]

Listen, Ned.

We've been talking and...

We don't think we need you

to guard us anymore.

You don't?

I mean, it wouldn't be fair.

We can't make

your veggie burgers.

And you must be getting hungry.

Probably getting real hungry.

Well, sure,

but we're all hungry.

That's true!

I've lost a lot of weight.

Just skin and bones here.

With no meat at all!

Not like the koala.

At least he's still got

eucalyptus leaves to eat.

Juicy little guy's been housing

eucalyptus, I tell ya.

And look at them thighs!

I'll keep watch for free

if it makes you feel safe.

We feel safe...

Even when you're not here.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

These snowflakes are actually

kinda filling though.

We have to keep moving.

Too dark. Sleep here.

What do you know?

It was you getting hurt

that slowed us down.

Hey! What are you doing?

Hmm.

Say here it bad to fall off

mountain and die.

Say that maybe slow you down.

[sarcastically] Wow.

This good book.

Gimme that!

I never should have

taught you sarcasm.

Promise we'll go

first thing in the morning!

-Promise.

-Fine.

But I'm still

not talking to you.

Let's see how you enjoy

the silent treatment.

[snoring]

Of course

he snores in his sleep.

[Taz] Me awake.

I keep watch.

[snoring continues]

Well, I can't sleep like this.

Maybe you need lullaby.

Hush little

Bandy cooty thing

Wiggle you around

And sing, sing, sing

I don't need a lullaby.

Maybe warm milk?

What I need is for you

to leave me alone.

Why don't you go, um...

sleep in that cave over there.

Sleep in cave?

Why not?

You didn't want to leave

your cave when we met.

Maybe that's where you belong.

I mean, you only came out

for food, right?

Uh, yeah.

Food.

Great. Goodnight.

[shivering]

The fire went out, Taz!

Oh, right.

I better build another.

I hope he isn't too cold

in there.

How else was I

supposed to sleep?

I wonder where he learned

that lullaby.

He'd probably just get mad

if I asked.

[mockingly] "What for you

ask me about past?"

"We not friends now."

[snickering] Hey!

I do a pretty good Taz.

[imitates Taz's warbling]

"Me smell veggie booger."

Wait a minute.

[sniffs]

"Me do smell veggie booger."

[cackling in distance]

[gasps] Oh my gosh!

Is that Rocky's g*ng?

I can't see from here.

I need to wake Taz so we can

sneak up for a closer look.

Wait. What am I saying?

Taz can't sneak.

Even his shadow makes a noise.

It makes a smell.

I'll just get a closer look

and come right back.

And I won't try

and play the hero.

I am going to wear the mask,

but only because it's cold.

If that's Rocky's g*ng,

they probably have look outs.

And they'll be listening for

even the slightest sound.

[music playing]

I'm 99.99 percent sure

that's them.

[all laughing]

Our vegetables!

[cheering]

Thank you, thank you.

I got to hand it to you, Rocky.

You play a mean fiddle.

Yeah, Boss, that was great.

What about me?

Uh, you did good too, Butch.

Yeah, I like that you weren't

trying to do too much.

Aw, thanks.

This is great!

Sure beats hunting

for food all night.

Ah, you said it!

That dopey crocodile was right

about one thing.

Hunting is for suckers.

Speaking of which, all this

dancing is making me hungry.

Well, perhaps we should

wake the Chef.

Rise and shine.

[gasps]

The boys and I

are feeling peckish.

What do you recommend?

[muffled speaking]

Hmm, veggie burgers?

Is that what you said?

That's what it sounded like.

Alright!

Veggie burgers all around.

The kitchen is yours.

Oh, and Chef?

I heard these veggie burgers

could be dangerous if you don't

make them right.

Years of practice, I heard.

Or else... [croaking]

That's why Lou here,

is going to have the first bite

-[gulps] I am?

-You are!

And if anything

bad happens to him,

I'm going to lodge

a very serious complaint.

And believe me, you're not

going to like where I lodge it.

Understand?

Ah, thanks for looking out

for me, boss.

And no onions, neither.

Acid reflux.

Now's my chance.

I can't wait for Taz.

I've got to get my dad out

of here and bring our food

back to the village.

If I'm quiet enough

to startle a snake,

I can definitely sneak past

these guys.

-[snake hissing]

-[Quinn screams]

What do we have here?

Aw, nuts.

Another bandicoot.

I know you said we wouldn't

have to hunt no more,

but this is crazy.

You think that Chef would mind

throwing this on the grill, eh?

-Or is that too much?

-That's a bit much, Lou.

Maybe if boss asks.

Oh, I do have some questions.

Here's one.

Do you know this bandicoot?

[muffled speaking]

What's he saying?

Is that a "yes"?

Maybe take the mask off.

Let go of my dad,

you big jerks.

Before I do something I regret.

Your dad? Well...

You came all the way

to Tasmania,

all the way to this mountain,

all by yourself

just to save your dad?

I'm impressed. That's family.

Like you would know.

Of course I would.

This is my family.

That's Butch, Lou, Sid...

I'm Rocky by the way.

You must be Quinn,

I've heard so much about you.

That's why we gagged him.

Your dad's part of the

family now.

Which makes you family, too.

There's no rules saying

you have to be a Dingo.

You just have to be brave,

tough, and ready for adventure.

Do you also have to be a dirty,

rotten thief?

It definitely helps.

But we're willing to train

the right candidate.

We are looking for more cooks.

Did your dad teach you

how to cook. Hey, hey?

[thumping]

No, huh?

It's never too late to learn.

Let me go!

Let... [muffled speaking]

No talking during class please.

Oh, yeah!

I see the resemblance.

[Taz sniffs] Hmm?

You make secret veggie booger.

That why you tell me

to sleep in cave?

Wait.

How come no food?

How come no fire?

How come no Quinn?

[gasps] How come no food?

Okay, me have to think.

Where I go if me Quinn?

[Quinn mumbling]

[mockingly] "I go find Rocky

all alone.

Even though me only little

bandy cooty."

Hey, that pretty good.

Also pretty bad.

Isn't this lovely? A dad

teaching his daughter

how to grill!

It's always good to have

a backup chef, in case

something very bad happens.

In fact, let's all

pay attention!

Go ahead, Chef.

[giving muffled instructions]

Uh, I didn't get that.

Di-Did you get that?

Can we untie his gag?

She's going to mess this up

if she can't hear him!

Of course! How silly of me.

I was just saying that you want

to sear the outside first,

because that traps

the juices in, and then

you bring the heat down,

and you tell your daughter that

no matter what happens,

you love her very much.

What if you don't have

a daughter? Can you

use eggs instead?

No questions until the end!

Your turn.

Ju-Just do what he says

and we won't get hurt.

That's good! That's very good!

You... You're doing--

[gasping]

Great. Yeah. There it is.

Welp, told you she'd

mess it up.

[coughing] Get her!

C'mere, you!

[growls]

She's got a spatula, boss!

What's she going to do,

flip you with it?

Just grab her!

[Quinn whimpers]

Hey, what the--

Run, Quinn!

That's it! Run!

Go! And never come back

no matter how much danger

I'm in and you just--

Well, that was it.

Probably the last thing

I'll ever say,

and you completely ignored it!

I'll give you one thing.

You're one tough

little bandicoot!

Here's another

cooking lesson, boys.

-What do you do when your

bandicoot's too tough?

-[struggling]

Hmm, tenderize it!

Exactly. Butch?

One more chance

to join us, Quinn.

I thought you liked outlaws!

I like the ones

that are heroes!

[grunts]

Hmm? Hey! Do you guys

hear something?

[faint rustling]

What is that?

[warbling softly] Me sneak.

[growls]

It's the Tasmanian Devil!

Pfft, yeah, right!

All the way out here

in Tasmania?

It's probably just some

big stinky mouse!

Get 'em, Taz!

[growls]

That's him, alright!

Welp, it was nice knowing ya!

Except for this last part.

Well, yeah.

[groans dizzily]

Taz!

That's the Tasmanian Devil?

You said he was tough!

Oh, he is! But I found

someone tougher...

Butch!

Wow, you very big dingo.

Thanks! You very big mouse!

Finish him!

Okay, Boss!

[straining]

[squawking]

Aw, nuts.

Aw, that's our food!

Wait! Get back here!

It's over, Rocky!

You're going to take me

on all by yourself?

You're very brave,

but not very smart.

I usually work as

the lone buckaroo,

but sometimes it's better

to have a friend!

Get 'em, Taz!

[warbles]

Ha! You're you're a shadow

of the Taz I remember!

Huh? You've met before?

Met? I practically raised him!

You're lying!

He's lying, right?

Right?

He didn't tell you? Taz was

the meanest member of our g*ng!

Now look at him.

He can't even spin!

Me not need spin!

Ah, ah, ah!

[playing sad music]

Taz? What's wrong?

He's been this way

since he was little!

The only way to control him

was with music.

Just snap out of it!

It's me, Quinn.

I'm afraid he can't hear you.

Too bad!

-Looks like he's

heading for that cliff!

-[gasps]

Taz, come here,

stop, watch out,

wake up, watch out, stop!

Come here, wake up!

[Rocky singing]

Hush little devil

Don't you cry

Papa's gonna kick you

Say goodbye

No!

Hey, get off me!

Let me go!

Goodbye, Taz.

You're like the son

I never had.

Seriously, it's like I never

had him at all! Hyah!

Taz!

Ah! Isn't it great

being an outlaw?

You get everything you want.

You've got your dad, your food,

and now you get to be

a real outlaw,

just like in the stories.

The outlaws in

my stories wouldn't

kick someone off a cliff.

You see, to me, that sounds

an awful lot like a law.

And we're outlaws, remember?

But we'll cross that river

when we come to it!

Nice work, boys!

Anything we want, we take.

All of Tasmania belongs to us.

If you like, we could name

a mountain after you!

[chuckles] Give him

the small one! I call dibs

on the big one.

That's Mount Lou!

Aw! Hey, you want

to trade mountains?

It's an avalanche, genius!

Pull faster!

Faster!

It's too late!

[suspenseful music playing]

The avalanche dried up

the river for us! Ha!

Even the natural disasters

here are on our side!

Oh, mate that tornado's

here to help, too!

[Rocky] Huh?

[Taz warbles]

Taz?

Impossible!

You're alive!

[burps]

But you're still dizzy.

Maybe you need more sleep.

Maybe it's your blood sugar.

Maybe you're being

haunted by a ghost.

Have you tried ginger?

Meditation? Volunteering?

[gasps]

Stop! You're hurting yourself!

You're nothing without me.

Too bad I found someone to

take your place. Finish him!

Give up, Taz! He's bigger,

stronger, and less dizzy!

Oh, yeah?

[both warbling]

Now it fair fight.

Whoa!

I can't tell who's winning.

Me neither.

Maybe this will help.

You can't do that!

It's not fair!

See, that's another law

and we're... [sighs]

We need to discuss

alternative teaching methods.

I'm worried Quinn

may be falling behind!

Ahhh!

[muffled] Quinn?

And a-one, and a-two!

[violin music playing]

Taz! Look out!

[Quinn] Hey, big guy!

Ha ha! You miss!

Uh-oh.

[all screaming]

Dad, I need your help

pulling Taz!

Okay, so he's on our side?

I was confused about that.

So that's where Quinn

got her attention span!

You're on my side now!

Taz used to be, but we had

to cut him loose. Like this!

Go, Dad!

Get off of me!

Argh!

[growls]

Oh, dear.

Ahhh!

Oh!

[all] Ahhh!

[gasps]

[panting]

Dad? [sputters] Dad?

Quinn, over here.

Your friend

doesn't look so good.

Not friend.

Me not say friend.

Him say that.

But, yeah, me not feel good.

We are friends, Taz.

You could have told me

about you and Rocky.

You were just a mixed up kid,

who was lonely and scared.

And you made mistakes

just like me.

I'm sorry I was so mean.

I just wanted to know you

and I couldn't understand

why you didn't

want to talk about your past.

I figured you just

thought I was annoying

like everyone else.

Either that

or you're embarrassed

because you don't know

how to speak in the past tense.

That not fair.

This Taz third language.

Wow, really?

See, there's so much

I don't know.

[Rocky] And you never will!

His story ends here!

I don't think so, Rocky!

[grunts]

[groans]

Dad!

Leave us alone!

Oh, I'm about to

leave you more alone

than you've ever been

in your miserable little life.

Taz may have turned

into a big softie,

but there's one thing about him

that hasn't changed.

His love of music!

Not this time, Rocky!

[gasps]

That's all right.

Every good musician

knows how to improvise.

[warbles]

Any last words?

I know you'll keep them short.

You don't know any long ones.

Something memorable

like, "That's all, folks!"

Or, "Suffering succotash!"

Well, what do you

have to say for yourself?

[burps]

-[belching and vomiting]

-[Rocky screaming]

Oh! It's horrible!

Don't look, Dad.

Close your eyes,

[sputtering]

[groans]

Hmm?

[screaming]

What wrong with him?

Taz!

Are you okay?

I think so. What happen?

I think you lost your lunch.

I think you lost

a lot of lunches.

And you've had

some weird lunches.

Oh. You can open your eyes now.

Oh, my eyes are closed?

Why can I still see it?

Okay, it not that bad.

This never happen.

Me promise!

Well, you look a lot better.

Hey. Yeah. Feel good.

[warbling]

So, if it wasn't your fall,

or your age,

nor your head...

what was it?

What was

the last thing you ate?

Quinn make veggie booger.

Oh, really?

[laughing nervously]

Hey, maybe it veggie booger.

It doesn't matter.

Maybe you very bad

at make food.

Okay.

You make Tasmanian Devil sick.

He never sick!

Me eat entire whale

and that during heat wave.

Okay! Okay!

I guess I need help

with some stuff.

But don't worry.

My dad will make the burgers

when we pay you

for helping us.

That not why me help.

It's not?

Me help for friend.

Aw! Taz!

But me will have veggie booger

if you making them.

I'll tell you what, Taz.

I'll make as many

veggie burgers as you want.

Yeah? Yeah. [smacks lips]

We still need to figure out

how to get this thing home.

I just want to get out of here

before anything else happens--

[screams]

[gasps and pants]

-[Quinn] Ned?

-[panting]

[panting] Came to help...

find your dad.

[breathing heavily]

Oh! Hang on.

I got a cramp.

Oh, what's this for?

You helped me find my dad.

Oh, I did?

Hey, Ned!

Hey, there he is! [cackling]

All right,

I did it! Bring it in!

Mmm!

[gasps] Is that

the Tasmanian Devil?

-[Quinn] Uh-huh.

-[Taz] Mmm.

Oh, is he going to eat us?

[Taz and Quinn] Uh-uh.

Great! Oh! Let's go home.

All aboard!

So, whatever happened

to, Rocky?

Well, I guess he's just not

as tough as he used to be.

[warbling]

Veggie Booger! [warbles]

And they tied us up

and made us listen

to terrible music.

Suddenly, the mountain

began to shake

and before we knew

what was happening

the boulders rolled towards us!

Whoa! Then what happened?

Shh! Let her tell it!

[Stan] I was!

Sorry guys.

To be continued!

[bandicoot kids] Aw! Crikey!

We gotta hear what happens!

Well, what happened

to your story?

It was just getting good.

Didn't you want to teach me

how to grill?

You said it might

help me one day.

Ah! I love cooking!

You know,

it saved my life once.

But, it also

got me abducted by dingoes

and dropped off a waterfall.

[chuckles] That's just

how love is!

That doesn't make

a lot of sense.

No, no, I guess not.

That's why I'm the cook

and you're the storyteller.

We don't have to

love the same things.

Well, no, but it's still nice

to share them

sometimes with you.

[suspenseful music plays]

Hey, not bad.

Maybe I'll try telling

a story tonight.

I think someone

already has the stage.

And then me get att*cked

by eagle.

Big eagle!

But me fight back like this,

[warbles]

[all gasp]

[warbling continues]

Then me fall into tree.

Then me fall out of tree.

Wow! Then what happened?

Then the dinosaur came!

Yeah. Yeah, that's true!

Big dinosaur,

me fight him, too.

Oh! But then

a ghost came to help you.

-Yeah.

-Ghost.

The ghost had flame powers.

Me and Ghost

fight Dinosaur.

First he went... [warbles]

and then I did [warbles] .

And then I showed up too.

You? I don't know.

I don't think the Tasmanian

climate is warm enough

to regulate

the body temperature

of a crocodile.

-That doesn't seem realistic.

-Mmm-mmm.

Who cares?

It's a good story.

-[all clamoring]

-Thanks, Quinn.

You are going to write

a great book someday.

Maybe.

I think I need to have

more adventures first.

How far do you think it is

to Antarctica?

Okay, then

the Tasmanian Devil and Quinn

fight the crocodile

and the ghost.

Hang on. I want to play.

But hang on... Antarctica?

I'll be the ghost.

I'll be the Tasmanian Devil.

Okay then me Quinn.

But I'm Quinn!

Sorry, dibsys me call it.

He called it, Quinn!

Okay, I guess he called it.
