[Dana] Dino Dana!

[theme music, various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music, various dinosaurs roaring]

Dino Dana!

[roar]

[Dana] "Dino Match Maker."

What is this thing?

I've never seen anything like it before.

Who made it?

[chirping]

Sinornithosaurus,

did you make this?

You did!

But why?

[squawking]

[both dinos squawking]

Another Sinornithosaurus!

That one's bigger than you. It must be a girl.

Just like birds, a lot of dino girls were bigger than the boys.

Ooh, do you like her?

[hiss]

You do...

Did you make this for her?

Is it a nest?

[squawking]

Ouch.

I guess she doesn't like it.

But why not?

I'll be right back, buddy.

[chirping and squawking]

Dad, guess what!

You two are gonna stay out of the kitchen

while me and your Mom have this romantic dinner I made?

What're we gonna eat?

I already ordered you pizza.

Dad, there's a Sinornithosaurus outside.

Okay, now you're just making these names up.

Sino-nither... what?

Sinornithosaurus.

It's a theropod.

He built a nest because he likes a girl Sinornithosaurus.

But she didn't like it, so she left.

Well, you let him know there are plenty of dinos in the sea.

But that's not true.

There are plenty of prehistoric marine reptiles in the sea,

not dinos. [chuckle]

Out you go.

But Dad, we need to help him.

He's in love!

[Sara] She didn't like the nest, huh?

Hey, Dad, remember when

Mom came over to our place on your first date?

It didn't go so well for me either.

[chuckle] No, it did not.

Eva! Thanks for picking me up. I don't have a car.

You look great. Thanks, Aman.

You... look great too.

[Mom] I'm so glad we're finally able to get together.

It's been so crazy with Dana, and for you.

Oh, your place is...

...spacious.

Yeah, I just moved in, so I don't own a lotta stuff.

Is Sara here? She's at her Mom's house.

Do you want a tour? Sure.

This is, uh...

...all of it.

Why don't we get going? Good idea.

'Kay...

[Dana] That's it!

Just like Mom didn't like your place,

the girl Sinornithosaurus didn't like the boy's nest!

I wouldn't say Mom didn't like my place.

It just wasn't the most... decorated?

That's when Dad really got into crafting.

So the Sinornithosaurus

just needs to decorate his nest

so the girl dino will like it.

Dad, can I borrow some of your craft supplies?

Sure, nugget.

Aren't you going to change for your dinner?

What's wrong with this shirt?

Other than that stain... Oof! ...and the smell.

[chuckle]

Hey, Sinornithosaurus!

Guess what?

[chirping and squawking]

Oh...

Looks like someone's already started decorating!

Good idea, Sinornithosaurus.

You like blue, so lemme see what I can find.

[squeak]

How about these blue pom-poms?

[chirping]

Perfect.

[squawking]

Look, the girl's back!

[both dinos squawking]

Looks like she likes it.

[sad squeak]

She left again.

[sad squeak]

[sigh] Don't give up.

My dad gave up, he and my mom never would've gotten together.

[sniff]

[squeak]

I'll be right back, buddy.

[chirping and squawking]

[chirping and squawking]

How does this look?

It's terrible!

It's not terrible.

A little wrinkled, maybe, but...

Not your shirt.

The girl Sinornithosaurus

liked how he decorated the nest,

but she left again.

[giggle] Sounds like your second date, Dad.

That one was a bit better.

Eva, come in!

Thought you lost my number. [chuckle]

Sorry I took so long to call.

Things have been so crazy with Dana, and...

Aman... The place is so different!

I really got into crafting. Do you crochet?

Uh, no.

Oh, y'know what else I got into?

I'll give you a hint. It's a musical instrument.

Guitar? Close.

Ukulele...

[strums ukulele]

* Eva... *

You have a nice voice.

[strums ukulele] * Thank yooooouuuuu... *

Should we go?

Yes, let's...

* lev-a! *

[awkward chuckle] That's another good one.

I should write that down. 'Kay.

[laugh] That's it!

Just like Dad sang to Mom,

the Sinornithosaurus needs to sing to the girl dino!

Music is the language of love.

[strums ukulele]

* Sara... *

* I love you and your seester *

* Danaaaaa *

Oh no...

Not the ukulele!

I mean, um, not the ukulele

before I have a chance to change out of my work clothes

for our special dinner!

How are you girls?

Can't talk, Mom.

Trying to help a Sinornithosaurus fall in love.

Dad, can I borrow your ukulele?

Yes!!

[Sinornithosaurus making high-pitched squeaks]

Oh, sounds like someone's already started singing!

Good plan, Sinornithosaurus.

Lemme see if I can help you.

[strums ukulele]

She's here! We have to start singing.

* Sinornithosaurus, he really likes you *

* Now sing the chorus *

[high-pitched squawking]

It's working! Let's keep singing.

* Sinornithosaurus, she really likes you *

* Now sing the chorus... *

[dinos chirp]

Aw, goodbye, you two little love-dinos.

[dinos chirping and cooing]

[dinos chirping and cooing]

[***]

Mom, Dad, guess what?

The singing worked!

The Sinornithosaurus built a cool nest,

decorated it, and sang to attract a girl!

That reminds me of something...

Our third date? No.

[Mom] There's a bird...

Yeah... That's it.

The bower bird. Come, watch this, Dana.

Okay, so...

The bower bird attracts females

by doing the same thing your dino does.

See? That's the male decorating the nest for the female.

That makes sense.

Since birds came from dinosaurs,

they would've done some of the same things.

[Aman] That's fascinating.

Bye, Dana!

Hi, Sara.

You still didn't finish telling the story

of how you two finally got together.

Well, I was in the park...

[***]

[**]

Aman?

Eva, hey!

Haven't heard from you in a while.

Yeah, I've been busy.

This must be Dana.

Yeah! Um... Hey, Dana!

[Mom laughs] She's a little shy.

Uh, good to see you.

[Sara] Daddy! Daddy!

Roaaarrrrr!

[Aman] Oh no! Sara-saurus!

Don't eat me! I'm a Dad-atops.

[both growl and roar]

Wow...

[laugh]

Do you wanna play dinosaurs with us?

You can be this one. It's a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Tyrannosaurs Rex.

[Dad growls and roars]

Oh no, look! It's a Mama-saurus Rex!

[roar]

...get outta here!

You wanna go? Okay, alright, let's go.

We're comin'!

Your Dad was so good with you two.

That's how I knew he was the one.

That, girls, is what I like to call "love at third sight."

[laugh] Now leave us alone.

[Mom] Toast to us?

Yes. To date night.

[Dana] Next up, more Dino Dana...

[***]

[Dana] Dino Dana!

[theme music, various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music, various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music, various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music, various dinosaurs roaring]

[theme music, various dinosaurs roaring]

Dino Dana!

[roar]

[Dana] "Lost and Sound."

[***]

[chittering, hissing, and squawking]

[chittering, hissing, and squawking]

"Squawk squawk."

[chittering, hissing, and squawking]

[chittering, hissing, and squawking]

[chittering, hissing, and squawking]

"Squawwwwwwwk!!"

Nice attack, Troodon.

[squawk]

This baby Diabloceratop sure tastes good.

[growling]

It's not real! It's just beef jerky.

Dino experiment 606 complete.

Troodon work together to attack their prey.

[woman] Dougie! Dougie, where are you?

It's my neighbor Ms. Currie.

I wonder what's wrong.

Bye, buddies! Want the last bite, bud?

[squawking]

[giggle]

Dougie!

Dougie, where are you?

Dougie!

Ms. Currie!! [yelp]

Dana you scared me half to death...

H-Hey, why're you dressed as a Troodon?

How did you know?

Well, I used to play dinosaurs with my grandsons all the time.

[sigh] But that was a long time ago.

They're off to school now, and they've got their friends,

and grandma isn't so hip and rad anymore.

I'll play dinosaurs with you, Ms. Currie.

Oh, you're very sweet, honey, but I gotta find Doug.

Who's Doug? That's him.

He's not the smartest dog in the world,

but the boys love him.

Anyway, I said I would dog-sit him,

and I didn't know he was a little escape artist,

and my grandson is gonna be here in 15 minutes

looking for his dog,

and I'm gonna have to tell him that I lost him!

We can help you find him. "We?"

I'm in a pack of Troodon today.

But I don't know how they track their prey.

Oh, that sounds like a dino experiment to me!

No. Oh.

It's a dino experiment update!

Dino experiment 606 update:

Troodons work together to attack their prey,

but how do they find them?

You want dinosaurs to hunt Doug?

No! I want them to TRACK Doug.

Tracking is when you follow clues an animal left behind

that'll lead you to it.

Once we find Doug,

I'll bring him back to you and your grandson.

Well, good luck, but remember we only have 15 minutes!

Don't worry, Ms. Currie.

Troodon are... I know.

One of the smartest of dinosaurs!

Oh, I miss all that dino play...

Although my daughter doesn't.

Oh, anyway, here, take those.

Those are Dougie's favorite dog treats.

If you see him, those will lure him out.

Thanks, Ms. Currie. I won't let you down!

"Squawk!"

Oh, I know you won't, Dana. "Squawk!"

Dougie, you come back here, you little Houdini!

[Dana] Troodon!

Are you still hungry after the fake Diabloceratop baby?

[squawk]

Do you wanna track some new prey?

We're looking for a pug named Doug.

And he looks kinda like this...

[squawk] Whoa.

That was fast.

[***]

Squawwwwwwk!

Squawwwk!

[squawking]

Why did you stop? What do you see?

[squawk]

Paw prints! They must belong to Doug.

But there's only one way to find out.

We have to... [squawk]

I was just about to say that.

...follow them!

Squawwwwwk!

Squawwwwwk!

Squawwwwwk!

Paw prints end here.

Now how're we going to track Doug?

[Ms. Currie] Dougie!

Stay right here, Troodon.

"Squawwwk!"

Ms. Currie!

Ms. Currie, you won't believe it!

You found Doug?

No, but I discovered that

Troodons follow paw prints to track their prey.

Well, that's great, dear.

It was great,

until Doug's paw prints ended in some grass.

Oh...

Hey, maybe your dino friends

will find a way to sniff him out.

That's it. Ms. Currie, you're a genius!

I am? You are!

Your theory is that Troodons

might use their noses to track their prey.

Well, that's not what I was saying,

but as long as it's helpful, dear.

Okay, so we have like maybe ten minutes

before my grandson shows up,

and he's gonna be really sad!

Don't worry, Ms. Currie.

We'll track down Doug.

Troodon snout promise!

Just tap your nose here.

Oh, okay, good. Cool.

Thanks!

Okay... Dougie!

Dougie, where are you, you cute little ugly monster?

Doug the Pug!!

[Troodons sniffing ground]

Squawwwwwk!

Squawwwwwk!

[chirp]

What do you smell, Troodon? What is it?

Ewww!

Dog's droppings?

[sniffing]

Why're you smelling the air?

Oh... now that you know what Doug smells like,

can you follow the smell?

[squawk] You can!

Wait up, Troodon!

I should pick this up before I go...

[Dougie panting]

[dogs barking]

[Troodons sniffing]

Squawwwwwwk!

Squawwwwwwk!

[Troodons squawking]

You lost the smell. Now how're we gonna track Doug?

[Ms. Currie] Dougie!

I'll be right back, Troodon. "Squawwwk!"

[Troodons squawking]

Doug!

Dougie!

[weary] Dougie...

Ms. Currie!

Oh, Dana, there's no hope.

Yes, there is! Look!

Blech! Is that what I think it is?

Yes-- evidence that the troodon

used their sense of smell to track their prey.

Your theory was right!

That's great, Dana.

Well, it WAS great,

until we lost Doug's smell 'cause we ran into another dog.

[sigh] Oh well, we tried.

[sigh] I guess I'm just not gonna be seeing

very much of my grandson anymore.

Don't give up, Ms. Currie.

What else did your grandson tell you about Troodon?

Um... well,

that they're smart, and they hunt in packs,

and they talk to each other.

That's it! Ms. Currie, you're a genius.

I am? You are!

Your theory is that since troodon talk to each other,

they might use their ears to track down their prey.

Paleontologists think that Troodon had

a better sense of hearing than most dinosaurs.

Oh. Alright, well here, good luck.

And remember that we only have five minutes

before Grandma only gets visitors on holidays.

Don't worry, Ms. Currie. We'll listen for Doug!

Oh, you're a sweetheart...

Yeah, I'm never gonna find him.

[Dougie panting]

[Troodons squawking]

[Troodons squawking]

Did you hear something, Troodon?

You did... [gasp] You found Doug!

Great job, Troodon.

Oh no.

Now that you've tracked Doug, you're going to attack!

Think, Dana, think,

or Doug will be a tasty dino treat.

Wait, that's it-- Treats!

Hey, Troodon...

Treats...

Go get 'em!

"Squawwwwk!"

They're distracted. I know what I have to do.

[Troodons chittering and squawking]

Hey, where did that little doggy go?

I dunno, 'cause it's just us Troodon here in the park.

You two better go find something else to eat.

[squawking]

Hi, Doug. I'm Dana.

You're save now.

Let's get you back to Ms. Currie.

Hey, Grandma, where's Dougie?

Oh, bud, I got some bad news.

Dougie's-- Right here!

Dougie!

Trek? Dana?

Wait, you two know each other?

Yeah, I gave Dana my old dino field guide.

Wait, YOU'RE Trek's Grandma?

Yep!

You're part of some of his most famous dino experiments!

You helped Trek figure out if pterosaurs fly in a flock,

why the Psittacosaurus swallows rocks,

and how the Spinosaurus learns to fish!

That was a good one.

Oh, I do miss those, Trekkie.

Me too.

Y'know...

I haven't fully completed dino experiment 606.

I know how Troodon attack, and how they track,

but I don't know how they chose their packs.

Sounds like a fun dino experiment to me!

Yes, it does.

C'mon, guys, let's go find ourselves some Troodons!

Alrighty... [Dana] Squawk!

And we're squawking! [laugh] "Squawk squawk!"
