Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) Screenplay by Peter Ackerman, Michael Berg, Yoni Brenner, and Mike Reiss; story by Jason Carter Eaton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ud4kSsZZm8c ELLIE: You can do it. Push! (Diego groans and seems to be going through birth labor.) Push! DIEGO: I...can't...do...it... ELLIE: Just one more big push. DIEGO: You have no idea what I'm going through. A change of perspective shows Diego barely holding a pair of dinosaurs at bay using a log, with Ellie's help. DIEGO: Okay, forget I said that. Let's do this together. Together they force the dinosaurs over the cliff. DIEGO: Whoo! My paws are burning, baby, they're burning! I gotta tiptoe. Tippy-toe, tippy-toe. ELLIE: Excuse me, Twinkletoes, giving birth, here. DIEGO: Oh, right. Sorry. Don't worry about a thing. You're doing fine. The dinosaurs return, so Diego renews the attack. DIEGO: It's going great. Ah, excuse me. Diego continues to fight, with varied results. DIEGO: Just keep breathing. ELLIE: Diego! DIEGO: Just breathe, that's the important thing. DIALOGUE ON DIALOGUE: Ellie is pregnant and Diego is left to defend her while Manny is involved in other skirmishes. The writers went for a reversal of the usual coaching situation during birth, with the opening camera angle chosen to give the wrong impression at first glance.

Thanks, Will!
