Character Conversations: Ellie

Tigey Wigey: How are ya, Ellie?

Ellie: Oh, I'm fine, sweetheart. How are you?

Tigey Wigey: Pretty good. So Ellie... what's been going on lately?

Ellie: Oh, nothing much, just Manny and I taking care of Peaches early in the morning. I tell ya, she cries all night long!

Tigey Wigey: Does the rest of the herd get annoyed by that?

Ellie: Oh, yes. At night, they all sleep about a mile from the den!

Tigey Wigey: How come you say "Oh" at the beginning of every line?

Ellie: Oh, I don't know. I guess I just speak like that when I'm excited! I've been waiting for this interview for ten days!

Tigey Wigey: Good for you. So, how-

*Power goes out*

Ellie: What happened? It doesn't get dark that quickly! Anyway, I thought it was noon!

Tigey Wigey: You stone-age animals make me laugh. No, it's not nighttime, the power that keeps the room lit went out.

Ellie: So, we have to do the interview in the dark then?

Tigey Wigey: I guess so... so, let's continue... As I was saying, how did you, in Ice Age 2, think that you were a possum, I mean, seriously!

Ellie: Well, I grew up with possums, so yeah, I thought I was a weird-looking possum.

Tigey Wigey: Okay then. So, tell me... How is life in the Ice Age?

*Ellie hears loud noise*

Ellie: What was that?

Tigey Wigey: Sorry, I fell out of my chair. *Sets chair back up and sits down*

Ellie: Oh, are you okay, honey?

Tigey Wigey: Yeah, I'm fine.

Ellie: Good. Okay, life in the Ice Age is... well, cold. It obviously snows a lot... um, oh yeah, we have to find food, shelter, water... it's a lot tougher than life in this century.

*Both hear a moaning ghost sound*

Tigey Wigey: What the...

Ellie: Crash! Eddie! This is my interview, please leave!

Crash (whispers to Eddie as they are leaving): How'd she know?

Ellie: Gosh, those two...

*Power returns* *Lights go back on*

Both: AH!

Tigey Wigey: It's so bright!

*Both rubs eyes with either trunk or hands*

Ellie: How come it's brighter than when we started?

Tigey Wigey: I don't know, but it's blinding!

*Tigey Wigey hears snickering*

Tigey Wigey: Crash! Eddie! Turn the lights off!

Eddie: Aw...

Crash: Busted, dude.

*Eddie turns lights off*

Both Tigey Wigey and Ellie: Ah... That's better...

Ellie: You two better be going or else I'll kill you when this is over!

Crash: Eh... we got one minute...

Ellie: You guys!

Both (moaning): Fine, we'll go... *leaves room*

Ellie: Sometimes I just want to twist their necks, know what I mean?

Tigey Wigey: Yeah. I have three younger brothers... they're all VERY annoying... What's worse is that they invite their annoying little friends over to our house...

Ellie: What's a house?

Tigey Wigey: It's what we call modern-day man-made dens.

Ellie: Oh... cool...

Tigey Wigey: Yeah, some of them are pretty neat... Okay, let's get back to interviewing... So uh... Do you ever get hot with all that fur?

Ellie: Hot like temperature hot, or hot like-

Tigey Wigey: TEMPERATURE HOT.

Ellie: Oh, okay. Well, very rarely, sometimes in the summer when I'm in a really warm den, but that's about it.

*Lights go on*

Both Tigey Wigey and Ellie: CRASH! EDDIE!

Tigey Wigey: Oh, that is bright...
