A child says, WHEE!

T.V.O. Kids and Sinking Ship Entertainment, Original.

[Child giggles, upbeat music plays, pop]

Crystals reflect dinosaurs and children. In the reflections, children run across a field, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex jumps into a swimming pool.

[Energetic theme music plays, dinosaurs snarling, children shouting, dinosaur snorting water splashing]

Title: Dino Dex.
Episode title: Dino Touchdown.

Dex shouts, DINO DEX! "DINO TOUCHDOWN.”

Text reads, “Created by J.J. Johnson. Written by Laurie Elliott. Directed by Joe Kicak.”

In a park, Dex and Kayla sit on top of a picnic table and move their hands.

[Birds chirping, bright music plays]

Dex and Kayla say, EUPLO, TITANO, REX!

Dex says, AND REX TRUMPS TITANO. YOU WIN!

Kayla says, I DO? I DID? I DON'T GET IT.

Dex says, IT'S JUST LIKE ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS. LOOK.

Dex picks up his sketchbook and points to drawings of a Euplocephalus fighting a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a Titanoboa with their body wrapped around a Euplocephalus, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex biting a Titanoboa.

[Rustling]

Dex says, EUPLOCEPHALUS, A DINO COVERED IN ARMOUR, SMASHES THE T-REX WITH ITS MASSIVE TAIL FLIP. TITANOBOA, BIGGEST SNAKE EVER, WRAPS AROUND TO SQUEEZE THE EUPLO. AND THE T-REX USES ITS SHARP TEETH TO CHOMP THE TITANO. WHICH IS WHY...

Kayla says, I WIN, YOU LOSE. WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO BE THE BAIT.

[Gentle music plays]

Dex says, I THINK YOU MEAN "GET TO BE."

Kayla says, WAIT. DID YOU LOSE ON PURPOSE? DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO BE THE BAIT?

Dex says, HOW ELSE ARE WE GOING TO SOLVE DINO EXPERIMENT 10-15? DOES THE T-REX EAT OTHER PREDATORS?

Dex and Kayla look up at a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

[Loud roaring, thumping]

Kayla says, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE! I'M GOING TO HIDE.

Dex stands and puts his hands on his hips.

[Majestic music plays]

Dex says, IT'S VELOCIRAPTOR TIME!

Kayla runs to playground equipment and hides beneath it.

[Exciting music plays, snarling, Dex squawking]

Dex wears a wool Velociraptor costume.

Dex says, HEY, T-REX! YOU HUNGRY FOR SOME VELOCIRAPTOR?

[Dex squawking]

Kayla says, THIS ISN'T GOING TO END WELL.

Dex says, SQUAWK!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex walks away from Dex.

[Thumping]

Dex says, HUH? SOMEONE'S A PICKY EATER.

Kayla says, COME ON, GET IN HERE!

Dex runs to the playground equipment and climbs up a ladder to a platform.

Kayla asks, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DEX!

Dex says, YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY FOR SOME TASTY VELOCIRAPTOR WINGS? SQUAWK, SQUAWK!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex walks to Dex.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex snarling, growling, exciting music plays]

The Tyrannosaurus Rex sniffs Dex and sneezes all over him.

[Sneezing, Dex groaning]

Dex says, UGH. I GUESS YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY FOR VELOCIRAPTOR WINGS.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex shakes their head and walks away from Dex.

[Stomping]

Kayla asks, WHY DIDN'T SHE TRY TO EAT YOU? AND WHY DO YOU LOOK SO DISAPPOINTED ABOUT NOT GETTING EATEN?

Dex and Kayla walk across a field in the park.

Dex says, I'M NOT DISAPPOINTED. I'M FASCINATED. IF THE T-REX DIDN'T WANT TO EAT A VELOCIRAPTOR, DOES THAT MEAN SHE DOESN'T EAT ANY OTHER PREDATORS?

[Gentle music plays, birds chirping]

Kayla says, NO CLUE. SHE DEFINITELY DIDN'T WANT TO EAT YOU.

Dex catches a football.

[Thumping]

Dex says, WHOA! DID YOU SEE THAT CATCH?

Kayla says, YEAH, BUT CHECK OUT THIS THROW.

Kayla throws the football. Someone wearing a Kraken shirt catches it. Dex’s dad runs to Kayla and Dex.

Dex’s dad says, TIME OUT! TIME OUT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THE FIELD?

Kayl says, WE COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING.

[Vehicle engines humming, birds chirping]

Dex’s dad says, PLAYING FOOTBALL! ME AND THE CRAWDADDIES ARE GOING UP AGAINST MY BROTHER'S TEAM.

Kayla repeats, CRAWDADDIES?

Dex’s dad says, CRAWDADDIES. FRESHWATER CRUSTACEANS. KINDA LIKE CUTE MINI LOBSTERS. CRAWDADDY CHEER!

The team, who all wear crawdaddy shirts, runs to Dex’s dad.

The Crawdaddies cheer, CRAW-YEAH!

[Making clicking noises]

Uncle Ravi says, HEY! WHAT ARE YOU CHEERING ABOUT, LITTLE BRO? EVEN YOUR SON IS WORKING FOR OUR TEAM. THANKS FOR THAT GREAT CATCH, DEX.

Dex says, YOU'RE WELCOME, UNCLE RAVI. SORRY, DAD.

[Kayla giggling]

Dex’s dad says, DON'T WORRY. WE'LL CRACK THESE KRAKENS!

Kayla asks, WHAT'S A KRAKEN?

Uncle Ravi says, A KRAKEN IS A MYTHICAL GIANT SQUID.

Kayla says, COOL!

Uncle Ravi says, WHO HAS NEVER LOST A FOOTBALL GAME.

Dex’s dad crosses his arms and shakes his head.

[Dex’s dad exhales heavily, gentle music plays]

Uncle Ravi says, KRAKEN, UNITE!

The Krakens gather behind Uncle Ravi and wave their arms.

[Shrieking]

Kayla says, NEVER LOST? I GUESS THAT MAKES SENSE, SINCE THE KRAKEN SEEMS WAY STRONGER THAN THE...

[Birds chirping, soft music plays]

Dex’s dad says, CRAWDADDIES! THEY MAY BE BIG, BUT WE WILL DEFEAT THEM. SO, IF YOU TWO COULD DO YOUR DINO EXPERIMENT OFF THE FIELD?

Dex says, BUT DAD, WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF THE T-REX EATS OTHER PREDATORS.

Kayla says, SHE SURE DIDN'T WANT TO EAT VELOCIRAPTOR DEX.

Dex’s dad says, THE VELOCIRAPTOR, THAT'S THE SMALL ONES, RIGHT?

Dex says, YEAH, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A TURKEY.

Dex’s dad says, THAT'S EASY, THEN. WHY WOULD A MASSIVE T-REX WANT TO EAT A PUNY DINO JERKY? THAT WOULD BE LIKE ORDERING ONE CHICKEN WING FOR DINNER.

Kayla says, THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S ENOUGH FOOD.

Dex asks, SO, IS YOUR THEORY THAT THE T-REX WOULD NEED A BIGGER PREDATOR TO EAT?

Dex’s dad says, IF IT WILL GET YOU OFF THE FIELD SO I CAN DEFEAT THESE KRAKENS, THEN, YEAH, THAT'S MY THEORY.

Dex says, I KNOW WHICH DINO WE CAN TEST! COME ON, KAYLA.

Dex and Kayla run across the field.

Uncle Ravi shouts, HEY! OMAN! QUIT STALLING! GET BACK TO LOSING.

[Dex’s dad scoffing]

Dex’s dad says, LOSING? MORE LIKE, GET BACK TO BEAST MODE! GAME ON! LET'S GO, CRAWDADDIES!

Elsewhere in the park, Dex and Kayla sit on the picnic table.

They both say, EUPLO, TITANO, REX!

Dex says, EUPLO SMASHES REX! YOU LOSE, KAYLA. THAT MEANS YOU'RE THE BAIT.

Kayla says, BEST TWO OUT OF THREE? I LIKE EATING DINNER. NOT BEING DINNER.

Dex says, IF YOU GET REALLY SCARED, DROP THE DINO MODE AND YOU'LL BE FINE. AND REMEMBER, THE MEGARAPTOR IS NOT ONLY BIGGER THAN THE VELOCIRAPTOR, IT'S ALSO FASTER.

Kayla says, FASTER.

[Gasping, gentle music plays]

Kayla says, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!

Kayla grabs her bag and runs away from Dex.

[Rustling]

Dex says, HUH?

Kayla returns, riding her bicycle. She wears a knit dinosaur costume.

[Bell ringing, upbeat music plays]

Kayla says, WHOO-HOO!

[Laughing]

Kayla stops beside Dex.

Kayla says, IT'S MEGARAPTOR TIME. ANY SIGN OF THE T-REX?

[Snarling, stomping, Dex gasping]

Dex points and says, OVER THERE!

[Growling, roaring]

Kayla says, TRY TO CATCH THIS MEATY MEGARAPTOR, T-REX! WHOO! WHOA!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex chases Kayla.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex grunting, stomping]

Dex says, SHE'S DEFINITELY TRYING!

Kayla says, BUT SHE HASN'T CAUGHT ME YET!

The Tyrannosaurus Rex slows to a walk.

[Tyrannosaurus Rex grunting, stomping]

Dex says, SHE'S...

[Tyrannosaurus Rex groaning]

Dex says, SHE'S...WHAT'S SHE DOING?

[Tyrannosaurus Rex groaning]

Kayla says, I THINK SHE'S GIVING UP!

[Bell dinging]

Kayla says, COME GET ME!

Dex says, WHY DID SHE STOP TRYING TO EAT YOU?

Kayla says, I DON'T KNOW!

On the field, the football players scrimmage.

[Football players shouting, grunting]

Dex’s dad says, HAH! HEY, RAVI! CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

Dex says, HEY, DAD, YOU'RE ALMOST AS FAST AS A MEGARAPTOR!

Dex’s dad says, HEY, HUH?

A Kraken player tackles Dex’s dad.

[Grunting]

Uncle Ravi says, PILE ON!

The Kraken jump on top of Dex’s dad.

[Grunting, thumping]

Kayla says, OH NO!

Dex says, YOU OKAY, DAD?

Dex’s dad says, BEEN BETTER.

Kraken players stand up and walk away.

[Thumping, gentle music plays]

Dex says, GUESS WHAT! THE T-REX LOOKED LIKE SHE WAS GOING TO EAT MEGARAPTOR KAYLA, BUT...

Kayla says, I WAS TOO FAST FOR HER. OBVIOUSLY.

[Dex snickering]

Dex’s dad says, USUALLY YOUR UNCLE RAVI CAN'T CATCH ME ON THE FIELD, BECAUSE I'M TOO FAST. UNLESS I'M DISTRACTED.

[Groaning]

Dex asks, IS YOUR THEORY THAT THE MEGARAPTOR IS TOO FAST A PREDATOR FOR THE T-REX?

Dex’s dad says, IF YOU'RE SAYING THE MEGARAPTOR IS ANYTHING LIKE ME, THEN THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING.

Kayla says, SO WE NEED A SLOWER DINO PREDATOR FOR T-REX BAIT?

[Birds chirping]

Uncle Ravi says, WHAT YOU NEED IS DINO BAIT THAT IS WORTHY OF A T-REX. AND YOU NEED TO GET UP!

[Rustling]

Dex says, WHAT DO YOU MEAN, UNCLE RAVI?

Uncle Ravi says, WELL, THINK OF THE T-REX LIKE US MIGHTY KRAKENS. WE'VE GOT SIZE, WE'VE GOT STRENGTH, WE'VE GOT GOOD LOOKS.

[Kayla and Dex chuckling]

Uncle Ravi says, WE NEED AN OPPONENT THAT IS JUST LIKE US. EH, WE'LL WORK WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT, THOUGH.

Uncle Ravi looks down at Dex’s dad on the grass.

Dex says, UNCLE RAVI, YOU JUST GAVE ME AN IDEA!

Uncle Ravi says, AH, ADD "INSPIRATIONAL" TO THE LIST OF KRAKEN QUALITIES.

[Dex’s dad groaning, birds chirping]

Dex’s dad asks, CAN WE GET BACK TO THE GAME?

Dex’s dad takes the football from Uncle Ravi.

[Thumping]

Uncle Ravi says, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE SO EAGER TO LOSE, BRO!

[Claps his hands]

Uncle Ravi says, LET'S DO IT!

[Kayla chuckling]

Dex says, MAYBE A T-REX WOULD GO AFTER A PREDATOR WHO'S MORE LIKE SHE IS.

Kayla says, SOMETHING BIG THAT'S WORTH EATING, BUT NOT SO FAST SHE CAN'T CATCH UP.

On the picnic table, Kayla and Dex say, EUPLO, TITANO...

Dex says, REX!

Kayla says, REXES.

Dex says, YES, THAT'S THE PLAN! ONE OF US SHOULD BECOME A T-REX TO…

Kayla points and says, NO! LOOK! TWO T-REXES!

Two Tyrannosaurus Rexes face each other.

[Roaring, exciting music plays]

Dex says, FASCINATING.

Kayla says, LET'S GO BE FASCINATED IN OUR HIDING SPOT.

[Roaring]

Kayla shouts, LOOK OUT!

The Tyrannosaurus Rexes bash against each other.

[Smacking, exciting music continues]

Kayla grabs Dex’s hand and leads him to the playground equipment.

Dex shouts, WHOA!

The Tyrannosaurus Rexes circle each other.

[Snarling]

Kayla asks, ARE THEY GOING TO TRY TO EAT EACH OTHER, OR ARE THEY JUST GOING TO DANCE?

Dex says, I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO SHOW WHO IS THE BOSS!

[Snarling]

The Tyrannosaurus Rexes butt heads and lunge, snapping at each other.

[Thumping]

Kayla says, OUCH! NEITHER ONE IS GOING DOWN EASY.

Dex says, WAIT, WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW? ONE T-REX IS LEAVING!

A Tyrannosaurus Rex turns and walks away.

[Growling, stomping]

Kayla says, BUT WHY DIDN'T THEY TRY TO EAT EACH OTHER?

[Roaring]

On the field, Uncle Ravi runs carrying the football.

Uncle Ravi taunts, LOOKING FOR THIS? IT'S THE FOOTBALL! AND IT'S ABOUT TO TOUCH DOWN!

Dex’s dad jumps on Uncle Ravi’s back. Uncle Ravi runs towards two orange pylons.

Uncle Ravi taunts, IS THERE A FLY ON MY BACK? IS THERE A FLY ON MY BACK?

[Thumping, shouting, laughing, exciting music plays]

Uncle Ravi says, KRAKEN VICTORY!

[Shrieking, thumping ball, upbeat musical notes play]

Uncle Ravi pounds the football into Dex’s dad’s stomach.

Kayla says, OOF.

[Uncle Ravi cheering]

Dex’s dad asks, WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP ME, KIDS?

Uncle Ravi says, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE KRAKENS ARE TOO TOUGH TO STOP.

[Soft music plays]

Kayla says, LIKE A T-REX IS TOO TOUGH TO HUNT! DEX, BOTH T-REXES GOT HURT FIGHTING EACH OTHER.

Dex says, THAT'S IT! THE T-REXES DIDN'T EAT EACH OTHER BECAUSE THEY'RE BOTH TOO TOUGH! WHICH MEANS T-REXES DON'T EAT OTHER PREDATORS.

Kayla says, THEY'RE EITHER TOO SMALL, TOO FAST, OR TOO TOUGH. THAT MUST BE WHY THE T-REX STICKS TO EATING HERBIVORES.

Dex and Kayla say, DINO EXPERIMENT 10-15, COMPLETE!

They high-five.

[Hands slapping]

Uncle Ravi says, HUH! GLAD US KRAKENS COULD BE OF DINO-SERVICE TO YOU. RIGHT! PLAY AGAIN, SAME TIME NEXT WEEK?

Dex’s dad asks, YEAH, YEAH. ARE YOU STILL UP FOR A MOVIE TOMORROW NIGHT?

Uncle Ravi says, YEAH. JUST, UH, NOT A SCARY ONE.

[Kayla chuckling]

Uncle Ravi says, WELL, SEE YOU THEN. BYE, KIDS!

Dex says, BYE, UNCLE RAVI!

Kayla says, BYE!

Uncle Ravi cheers, WHOO-HOO!

Dex’s dad says, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW PLAYERS.

Kayla says, I'M IN!

Dex’s dad says, YES!

[Birds chirping]

Dex says, BUT THEY'RE ALL BIGGER THAN US.

Dex’s dad says, YEAH, TRUE. MAYBE THEY WON'T NOTICE YOU, THE WAY THAT T-REX DIDN'T NOTICE THE VELOCIRAPTOR GUY.

Dex says, INTERESTING THEORY.

Kayla grabs the football and runs.

[Thumping]

Kayla says, COME CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!

Dex and his dad chase Kayla across the field.

[Dex’s dad groaning, making clicking noises, upbeat music plays]

[Tyrannosaurus Rex roaring]

[Upbeat theme music plays]
