Scene 12
Underground Lair
Blowhole: "OK, Private. Here's the plan. I've been spying on Skipper for 2 years now. He'll be strong. He's gonna be smart. You, however, look just sweet and innocent enough to trick him into following you. Understand?"
Private: "Yes, but, how do I do that?"
Blowhole: "You'll figure it out when you see them."
Private: "What does he look like?"
Blowhole: *shows him picture* "This is who your looking for. He will be with 2 other penguins. I don't care if they come too. I can find something to do with them."
Private: "Aye."
Blowhole: "It's time. Bring them to me. Do not fail."
Private: "I shan't fail you, Doctor."
Blowhole: "Excellent."
Private: *turns & leaves*
4 Hours Later...
Private: *spots trio* There they are. *spots short cliff* I know just what to do...
Skipper: "So where do we go from here?"
Rico: "I dunno..."
Kowalski: "I heard the humans talking about some Zoo in Central Park. They said that the animals there get fed each day, & other humans can't touch them."
Skipper: "I don't know about that. How do we know it's safe? They are humans."
Kowalski: "We need to start over somewhere. I don't see what other choice we have."
Skipper: *sigh* "I suppose. Rico?"
Rico: *shrugs & nods head slowly*
Skipper: "So how do we get to this zo--"
Distant Voice: "Hey! Is anyone there?! Could somebody help me!?"
Skipper: "Roll out men!"
*Skipper, Rico, & Kowalski follow the sound of the voice*
Voice: "Help! Hurry!"
*penguins see a penguin lying on the ground in pain*
Skipper: "Hey, are you OK?"
Penguin: "I slipped off that small cliff & hurt my ankle. It hurts real bad! You have to help me! Please!"
Skipper: "It's OK, just calm down. What's your name, soldier?"
Penguin: "Private. Who are you 3 supposed to be? And why are you all on your own?"
Skipper: "I'm the Skipper, we've all had...issues. It's a long story. Kowalski! Analysis on that ankle!"
Kowalski: "On it, Skipper." *looks at ankle*
Private: "Ow! Be careful...uh...what did you say your name was?"
Kowalski: "Kowalski. I need you to be very still."
Rico: "HIII! I Rico!!"
Private: "Um, is he OK?"
Skipper: "Yeah, he's got a...gift. Rico!"
Rico: *hacks up firework*
Private: O.O *looks at Skipper*
Skipper: "Yeah, you get used to it. He's into the kablamo thing."
Kowalski: "Rico! Do you have anything I could rap this up in?"
Rico: *hacks up roll of gauze*
Private: "Where exactly does he get this stuff?"
Kowalski: "He snagged a few things when he was watching the humans set off the fireworks. He didn't know what he'd use them for though."
Rico: "KABLAMO!"
Kowalski: "Done. Can you stand?"
Private: "I'll try." *slowly stands, but Kowalski helps him support his left side* "Thanks."
Skipper: *finds stick & hands it to Private* "Here. Use this to support yourself. How did you get here, soldier?"
Private: *he had this story planned out, so he spoke without hesitation* "My dad passed before I was born. My mum died last week. I had no where else to go. I just started walking. No real destination in mind. Speaking of...Where are you all headed?"
Skipper: "We need to find a way to get to this zoo in Central Park. Only thing is, we don't know how to get there, nor which way to go."
Private: "Hey, I know where we can find a boat."
Skipper: "What's a boat?"
Private: "It's how humans transport over water. I guess they're just too lazy to swim."
Skipper: "Where can we find this, boat?"
Private: "Just let me lead the way."
Skipper: "OK. Roll out men."
Private: That's right you amateurs. Just follow me...
Scene 13
Antarctica
*the foursome are waddling along the frozen desert, well one of them is limping*
Skipper: "So...Private. How did you come to find out about this boat thingy?"
Private: "While I was waddling along, & I saw it there. Humans got in it, & it just started moving away."
Skipper: "If it started moving away, wouldn't that mean it isn't there anymore?"
Private: "Oh, it was at night when I witnessed this. The next morning, another boat was there."
Skipper: "So...It's a reoccurring thing then?"
Private: "I suppose. I don't see any other explanation."
Skipper: "Whatever you say..." Something feels a little...off...
Rico: "Hm, hm, hm, ka, bla, mo, hm, hm, hm..."
Kowalski: "Are you sure we're going the right way? There doesn't seem to be a lot of water for miles!"
Private: "Yes! I know what I'm doing! Don't you trust me?"
Kowalski: "OK! You don't have to get so angry, I was just asking..."
Private: "I'm sorry. I guess I'm still just a little broken up from my mum's death."
Kowalski: "It's fine. I understand."
Skipper: OK, I know he's up to something...but what could he possibly be up to? He looks so innocent. Hmmmmm...
Kowalski: "It's getting late. And Private, you do need to rest that ankle."
Private: "Yeah. *yawn* I suppose we should hit the sack then."
*the foursome take a place in the snow & begin to sleep*
Private: *staring at Skipper with anger in his eyes* How can you sleep?! You sleep so peacefully after what you did to my mother. How could you?! Have you no soul!? I can't wait for tomorrow. You'll get what's comin' to you soon enough Skipper...
The Next Morning...
Private: *awakes, & sees others still sleeping, walks over to Skipper, & hits him in the head with his crutch*
Skipper: *wakes with a start* "OW! What was that for!?"
Private: "Sorry, I was trying to wake you, I didn't mean to hit you that hard."
Skipper: "I'm fine. Let's wake the others."
Private: Idiot...
Skipper/Private: *wakes others*
Skipper: "Wakey, wakey, soldiers. It's morning."
Private: "Skipper, why do you call everyone soldier?"
Skipper: "No reason really. Just...picked it up from a friend."
Private: "Um...OK. We'd better get moving."
Kowalski: "Where can we find food?"
Private: "Oh, we don't have much further till cross a small pond. No worries."
Skipper: "Roll out."
Scene 14
Antarctica
*penguins pass a secluded pond*
Rico: "FISH!"
Skipper: "Exactamundo! Rico!"
*Rico & Kowalski dive in*
Skipper: "Don't worry Private, I'll bring up a second round for you."
Private: "Thanks."
Skipper: *salutes & dives in*
Private: Not much further now...just a little more...
Kowalski: *jumps out of water*
Rico: *jumps out after*
Skipper: *jumps out with fish in hand* "Here you go, young Private."
Private: "Oh, thanks." *begins eating*
Skipper: *goes & sits at the waters edge*
Private: *whispering* "Kowalski, what's his deal?"
Kowalski: "Oh. He does that sometimes. He goes to think about what happened to his parents."
Private: "His parents? What happened to his parents?"
Kowalski: "They were attacked by a leopard seal. His father saved his life."
Private: "Weird. My mum was attacked by a leopard seal."
Kowalski: "Oh, I'm sorry."
Private: "Sokay."
Kowalski: "Hey, if you wanna...talk...I'll listen."
Private: "Thanks, but I don't like talking about it."
Kowalski: *nods understandingly & leaves him to eat his fish*
Private: That's really weird...his parents were killed by a leopard seal...and so was my mum....
Kowalski: *finishes fish & goes to Private* "So how much longer till we see this boat?"
Private: "Oh, not much longer now. We should be there by tomorrow morning."
Kowalski: "Oh, OK then."
That Night...
*penguins are sleeping*
Private: Devouring...jaws...no...get away...no...no...no... *wakes with gasp & breathing heavily*
*Private looks around at the others sleeping, then sneaks up to splash water in his face*
Skipper: "You OK, amigo?"
Private: *jumps, stands, & turns to look at Skipper* "Oh! Um, what are you doing up?"
Skipper: "Oh, I just heard something & wanted to see if you were--Wait a minute..." *gasps* "YOU CAN WALK!?!?"
Private: *looks down at himself standing* "No! I'm just...putting my weight on one leg! See?" *begins limping to show Skipper he really is limping*
Kowalski: *wakes slowly* "What's going *yawn* on?"
Skipper: "Private...YOU'RE LIMPING ON THE WRONG LEG! WHAT IN THE NAME OF MONALISA'S SMILE IS GOING ON HERE?!?!"
Private: "Um...I...We..."
Rico: *wakes slowly* "Huh? Whasgoino?" (Translation: "Huh? What's going on?")
Skipper: "What's going on is that Private has been lying to us this entire time! Is there anything that you said that really was true!?!?"
Private: "Yes! My parents really did die!"
Skipper: "You know that's not what I mean! What are you trying to do, Private!? If that really is your name!"
Private: "YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!"
Skipper: "I...What? What are you talking about?! I never even knew your mother!"
Private: "You killed my mother!"
Scene 15
Antarctica
Skipper: "I don't know what you'r--"
Private: *--brings fist around & wallops Skipper*
Skipper: *blocks next punch* "What are you doing!? Explain yourself!"
Private: *starts fight*
*Skipper & Private begin fighting*
Skipper: *pins Private* "Explain yourself!!!"
Private: "You were there! It's all your fault!"
Skipper: "I was where!? Private! I still don't know what you're talking about!"
Private: "You were there! When my mother died! If you hadn't been there she'd still be alive!"
Skipper: "Look, kid! I don't know what you're talking about! I wasn't even conscious when my parents died!"
Private: "He saw everything! If your parents hadn't been there, my mother would have been saved!"
Skipper: "Who? Who saw everything?"
Private: Oh no...what have I done... "Um...I...he..."
Skipper: "WHO!" *bares down harder on Private's chest*
Private: "All right! Fine! I'll tell you! Just let me breathe!"
Skipper: *loosens his grip some* "Talk."
Private: "Look...Someone...I work for...He saw everything. You were walking with your parents, the leopard seal appeared, my mom tried to help, & she died. And it's all your fault." *looks at him with hate in his eyes*
Skipper: "How was it my fault? I didn't ask the leopard seal to kill our parents! Who told you all of this anyway!? What do you mean someone you work for!?"
Private: ...
Skipper: "ANSWER ME!"
Private: "Or what? You'll kill me too?"
Skipper: *looks at him in disbelief*
Private: "Is that what you're gonna do? Hm?"
Skipper: *gets off Private* "No. C'mon, boys. He's not worth it."
Skipper/Kowalski/Rico: *belly slide away without looking back*
Private: "What have I done." *begins walking back to Blowhole's HQ* Blowhole's gonna kill me...Or worse...torture me...Oh, what am I gonna do? I promised him I wouldn't fail. *approaches HQ & goes inside*
Blowhole: "Where are they Private? Surely you didn't fail me."
Private: "I...Yes, sir. I have failed you. But they found me out! There was nothing I could do--"
Blowhole: "--You were told not to fail! What do you have to say for yourself now, Private!?"
Private: "I...I don't know."
Blowhole: "Where are they now?"
Private: "I don't know."
Blowhole: "Well surely you must know something!"
Private: "No. After they found me out they turned & left."
Blowhole: "Well. Then I guess I have no use for you then." *pushes a button* "I'm sorry I had to do this Private...But no one fails Dr. Blowhole."
Private: *sees Blowhole's minions coming to get him, & begins running*
Scene 16
Antarctica
Skipper: "I can't believe we fell for that cute & cuddly act Private put on."
Kowalski: "Yes, we fell for it like first year hatchlings."
Rico: *sadly* "Uh-huh."
Skipper: "So...Now that we're probably miles off course...where do we go from here?"
Kowalski: *looks at stars* "Well, according to the stars...we should find water...that way." *points in direction*
Skipper: "You got that from the stars?"
Kowalski: "Yeah. I spent some time studying the solar system, star charts, solar radiation--"
Skipper: "--In Americano please."
Kowalski: "I learned a lot of space stuff."
Skipper: "Oh. Well...we should probably spend the rest of the night sleeping. We'll need as much strength for the morning as we can get."
Kowalski: *yawn* "Yeah. We should."
Rico: "NIGHTYNIGH!" (Translation: "NIGHTY NIGHT!")
*penguins sleep*
The Next Afternoon...
*penguins were awake & waddling*
Skipper: "So how much further Kowalski?"
Kowalski: "Not long now Skipper."
Rico: "Fish?"
Kowalski: "I don't know Rico. It could be a while before we find food."
Rico: *stomach grumbles*
Skipper: "I agree, Rico. I'm hungry as well."
Kowalski: "As am I."
Skipper: "There isn't any way for you to know where we can find food, Kowalski?"
Kowalski: "Sorry, Skipper."
Skipper: "Uuuugh. I'm withering away to nothing here."
Kowalski: "No, Skipper I believe you have a bit of spare time on tha--" *sees Skipper looking annoyed at him* "Um...gosh you're thin..."
Skipper: "Nice save...Anyway...we should--What's that?"
*all turn around*
Private: *belly-sliding toward them* "Hey! Wait!"
Skipper: "Aw, him again!?"
Kowalski: "What does he want?"
Rico: *hacks up firework* "Kaboom?"
Skipper: "No, just be ready for action."
*penguins get into battle position*
Private: *comes up to them* "Guys! You have to help me!"
Skipper: "Why should we help you?! You lied to us! And you couldn't even have the decency to tell us why!"
Private: "I know. I know. At this point I wouldn't trust me either. But you don't understand. I didn't know before. He lied to me too."
Skipper: "Who?"
Private: "His name is Dr. Blowhole. He told me a pack of lies. He wanted me to lure you to him."
Skipper: "Dr. Blowhole? What does he have against me? I don't even know the guy."
Private: "I don't know. He says he's been spying on you for the past 2 years. He says you have a gift. I don't know..."
Skipper: "Why are you telling me all this? Last time I saw you you were trying to kill me."
Private: "I know. And I don't expect you to forgive me. But you have to understand that I just didn't know then."
Skipper: "Know what?"
Private: "Dr. Blowhole lied to me."
Scene 17
Underground Lair
12 Hours Earlier...
*captured by Blowhole's minions, Private once again sits in the presence of Dr. Blowhole...tied up in a chair*
Private: "Will you just do whatever it is you are gonna do to me?!"
Blowhole: "Oh...I do not intend to harm you, Private."
Private: "Then...what are you gonna do to me?"
Blowhole: "Oh. I'm not going to do anything. You on the other hand are going to go after those penguins & bring them to me."
Private: "And why would I do that?"
Blowhole: "Because, Private, there is someone I want you to meet..."
Private: "What are you talking about?"
Blowhole: "It was a tragic day that leopard seal attacked..."
Private: "What does that have to do with anything?"
Blowhole: "Well, Private...The reason you're going to bring me those penguins is because it's the only way you're going to save...her..." *presses button*
*a light is shown on a cage hanging from the ceiling, a bruised female penguin is inside of it...*
Private: "How did...It can't...That's imposs--"
Blowhole: "Oh, but it is possible Private."
Private: "But...How?! Let her go!"
Blowhole: "I will...as soon as you bring me those penguins."
Private: "Why are you doing this to me!?"
Blowhole: "As if you don't know..."
Private: *thinks a second, then says slowly* "You...You were the one who sent that leopard seal..."
Blowhole: "Right you are, Private."
Private: "But...WHY!?"
Blowhole: "Well, there was sort of a mix up that day. I intended for the seal to take Skipper's mother, to lure him to me, but then these other penguins come & ruin everything! He brought me the wrong penguin. And I figured that I might as well use what I got..."
Private: "Just let her go! I'll do anything you want! Just let her go!"
Blowhole: "Bring those penguins to me."
Private: "...Fine."
That Afternoon...
Skipper: "...So, he was after my mom?"
Private: "Afraid so. I'm sorry."
Skipper: "I understand...but...How do I know we can trust you?"
Private: "I don't know, you're just gonna have to take my word for it."
Others: ...
Private: "Please. I'm not making this up. You have to help me save my mother."
Scene 18
Antarctica
Skipper: *looks at other penguins*
Kowalski/Rico: *shrugs*
*other penguins huddle in a group & begin whispering*
Skipper: "What do you boys make of this?"
Kowalski: "I don't know, Skipper. It could very well be a trap."
Rico: "Uh-huh."
Skipper: "But...What if he really is telling the truth this time?"
Kowalski: "How can we be sure he's telling us the truth?"
Rico: "Kaboom?"
Skipper: "No kaboom."
Rico: "Awww."
Kowalski: "What should we do?"
Skipper: *sigh* "Well, I think we should help him."
Kowalski/Rico: "What?"
Skipper: "I don't know, it's something about him. I think he's telling the truth this time."
Kowalski: *sigh* "Fine. Even though we may be falling into another trap...Never swim alone, right?"
Rico: "Swim!"
Skipper: "Exactamundo Rico!"
*penguins separate & turn to look at Private*
Private: "I heard every word of that."
Skipper: "Oh, I--"
Private: "It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm not leading you into a trap this time. I really mean it."
Skipper: "So...What exactly are we going to do?"
Private: "I have a plan. But you're gonna have to trust me if it's gonna work."
Underground Lair
Private: *walks in with other penguins being guided in by minions*
Blowhole: "Excellent work, Private."
Skipper: "YOU TRADER! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE FELL FOR YOUR LIES!"
Private: "Sorry Skipper. Maybe one day you'll understand."
*Kowalski & Rico are tied up & guarded in a corner...Skipper is tied up in a chair in the middle of the room*
Private: "Alright I held up my end of the deal, no you yours."
Blowhole: "Alright, fine. Let her go!"
*cage is lowered to the floor & unlocked*
Susan: "Oh Private! I've missed you so much!" *runs to him*
*Private & Susan embrace*
Blowhole: "OK, as much as I would love to watch this touching reunion...I have better things to do."
*Private & Susan leave*
Kowalski/Rico: *gives Private a scowling look as he leaves*
Blowhole: "Now on to more important things."
Skipper: "OK, you have me you one-eyed freak. So what do you want me for?"
Scene 19
Underground Lair
Skipper: "OK, you have me you one-eyed freak. So what do you want me for?"
Blowhole: "You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this moment..."
Skipper: "Yeah, yeah, get on with it. I've been told I have a gift you want. Did I miss your birthday, flippy?" *says sarcastically*
Blowhole: "DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
Skipper: "Why? Did I hurt your feelings?"
Blowhole: *slaps him* "Oh, I will enjoy killing you..."
Skipper: "Killing me? What did I ever do to you?"
Blowhole: "I guess daddy dearest never told you."
Skipper: "Told me what?"
Blowhole: "Skipper...Your father was a secret agent."
Skipper: "Um, I think I would know that. Secret agents are gone all the time. My father was always around."
Blowhole: "That's because after you hatched he quit to help raise you."
Skipper: "We--Wait? What does my father have to do with any of this?"
Blowhole: "Not too long before you hatched, I was working on a project with my own father. A contraption that would rule over Antarctica! Called...The Annihilator!"
Skipper: "Um...OK. What's the Annihilator?"
Blowhole: "The Annihilator was to deplete all the fish in the Antarctic waters...all but the fish in our area..."
Skipper: "So...then anyone who wanted fish would have to come to you..."
Blowhole: "Ugh! I was getting to that part! Anyway...Your father ruined everything! He destroyed the Annihilator, which resulted in the death of my father. I think you know where I'm going with this..."
Skipper: "So...you want to kill me, for something my father did to you? I had nothing to do with that!"
Blowhole: "Yes...I already got revenge on your father...But that wasn't enough for me...I wanted the next generation..."
Skipper: "What do you mean you already got revenge on my fa--
...
*says slowly* You were the one who sent that leopard seal..."
Blowhole: "Well...It sure took ya long enough..."
Skipper: "So what are you gonna do to me? Dolphin cackle me to death?" C'mon! C'mon! Almost got it...
Blowhole: *slaps him again* "Oh, I enjoy doing that...What I plan to do to you Skipper...Is to use my new & improved Annihilator to put you out of your misery...And don't worry...It'll be nice...& slow..."
Skipper: Almost got it...
Blowhole: "Any last words, Skipper?"
Skipper: Got it! *stares into Blowhole's eyes* "No."
Blowhole: *presses button to reveal the Annihilator, a large machine with an antenna looking thing pointed right at Skipper*
Blowhole: "Tell your father I said hello..." *presses button*
Scene 20
Underground Lair
Skipper: "Um...It's not working..."
Blowhole: "You think I don't know that!" *presses button frantically*
"I think your little contraption will be a little hard to operate without these!"
Blowhole: "Hey! Grab him! Get those wires!"
Skipper: *jumps out of chair & heads toward Kowalski & Rico to untie them* Thank you for that long flashback Blowhole! Gave me just enough time to get the ropes around my flippers untied...
Minions: *tries to stop them, but Skipper & Private take them out*
Skipper: "I was beginning to think you weren't going to follow through with that little plan of yours Private." *unties Kowalski*
Private: *unties Rico* "I promised that I would get you out as soon as I got my mother out, didn't I? Besides, you all trusted me enough to help, I would be fool not to return the favor."
Kowalski: "Was I convincing?"
Private: "Kowalski, that scowl was so believable even I was mad at me! Let's go!"
Skipper: "Rico!"
Rico: *hacks firework at Annihilator, causing it to blow to bits*
*penguins begin to leave, but Dr. Blowhole along with the minions stop them at the entrance*
Blowhole: "And where do you think you pain-gu-ins are going? Hm? Atta-a-a-a-ck!"
*minions charge at the penguins*
Rico: "HAHA! HEALSUNY!" (Translation: "HAHA! HE TALKS FUNNY!) *begins fighting*
Skipper: "We can take 'em men!"
*penguins fight minions*
Private: "Skipper! Look out!" *knocks Skipper out of the way of an incoming piece of concrete falling from the ceiling, which causes it to fall on his head...knocking him out*
Skipper: "We've got to get him out of here!"
Blowhole: "I don't think so!" *presses button, opening a door that allows more minions to come in*
Skipper: *grabs Private & charges for the door, Kowalski & Rico following*
Blowhole: "Attack! Do not let them leave this lair!"
Rico: *hacks up another firework, causing debris to fall on a group of minions*
*penguins make it outside, Private still unconscious*
Kowalski: *examines him* "Well, he's breathing. That's good."
Skipper: "Do you know how long it'll be until--"
Blowhole: *--bursts out of underground lair stark raving mad* "I am not going to let you pain-gu-ins get away!"
Skipper: * nonchalantly* "Rico."
Rico: *hacks up small firework causing a whole to form in the ice*
Blowhole: *tries to slow down but fails & falls into the hole* "NOOOOO! You have not seen the last of Dr. Blowhole! I will have my revenge! Do you pain-gu-ins here me!? I will get you for this!" *continues talking, but the penguins are waddling away*
Skipper: "Well we can put him at the top of my list of arch enemies."
Private: *wakes up slowly* "Oooooh, my head."
Skipper: "Can you hear me soldier? How many fingers?"
Private: "Um...Is this a trick question?"
Kowalski: "Can you stand?"
Private: "Yeah...Sure..." *stands up slowly* "Did we...win?"
Skipper: "Yep. That plan to make Dr. Blowhole think you captured us was genius."
Scene 21
Antarctica
Kowalski: "Private...How do you feel?"
Private: "I...I don't know...I feel...weird..."
Kowalski: "Weird how?"
Private: "I...I don't really remember much of what went on in there..."
Kowalski: "What do you remember?"
Private: "Um...I remember bits & pieces..."
Kowalski: "What do you mean?"
Private: "There are a lot of things a bit fuzzy..."
Skipper: "Well, I'm sure it'll come back to you." *slaps on back*
Private: Hmmm, I'm sure there was something about my uncle...oh well, I'd remember if it were that important...
Skipper: "You know? We make a good team."
Kowalski: "Agreed. We handled that situation pretty well for a few penguins."
Rico: "YEAH!"
Skipper: "So where's your mom now?"
Private: "She's in a safer place. No one will ever find her there."
Kowalski: "So you're not going back?"
Private: "No. I'd only endanger the flock."
Skipper: "That's a brave move. You know, you could come with us."
Private: "You really mean it?"
Skipper: "Affirmative, young Private. So, how are we gonna get to that zoo?"
Rico: *points* "Uh, owoutat?" (Translation: "Uh, how about that?")
*others look to see a vehicle that humans are getting in to*
Skipper: "Roll out."
*penguins go & get on the back of the truck*
Private: "So, do you think the zoo will be nice?"
Skipper: "Well, that's a chance we're gonna have to take."
Antarctic Dock
Human 1: "Hey! Those penguins are back in the truck!"
Ship's Captain: "What do you want me to do about it?"
Human 2: "We were gonna take them to the Central Park Zoo. They've been looking for some penguins."
Human 1: "Zoo?! This penguin here is going to make me some money! He's got objects in his stomach!"
Human 2: "Dude! I told you! You had to imagine that! There's no way that cute & cuddly penguin could do anything like that!"
Human 1: "No! I saw it! It--"
Captain: "I agree with him. Now just move out the way & I'll get a shipping crate."
Human 2: "Just let it go, man."
Human 1: "But--"
Human 2: "Let it go!"
Human 1: "Fine."
Captain: *comes back with crate & puts the penguins inside* "All aboard!"
*the penguins are then put on the boat to be taken to the Central Park Zoo*
Scene 22
The Central Park Zoo: New York City
*penguins were put in their habitat, & were now surrounded by humans*
Private: "Skipper? What do we do?"
Human 3: "Hey, penguins! Aw, your so cute!"
Kowalski: "Apparently we're here for the humans amusement..."
Skipper: "Um...ah...."
Private: "How are we supposed to make these humans believe we are just regular penguins?"
Human 4: "They're so cuddly!"
Kowalski: "Skipper...We need to do something!"
Skipper: "Will you be quiet for a minute! I'm trying to think here!"
Human 4: *starts waving at the penguins while smiling*
Rico: "Kaboom?"
Skipper: "NO! I'm trying to think here!"
Human 5: "Look at the cute little penguins!"
Kowalski: "I'M NOT CUTE!"
Skipper: *looks around* "There's no way that cute & cuddly penguin could do anything like that!" "I can't believe we fell for that cute & cuddly act Private put on." "Hey, penguins! Aw, your so cute!" "They're so cuddly!" "Look at the cute little penguins!" I have an idea... "OK, so those humans want cute & cuddly...We'll give them cute & cuddly."
Kowalski: "But I don't wanna be cute!"
Rico: "CUTE!"
Skipper: "Exactamundo, Rico!"
Private: "I don't think I know how to act cute & cuddly, Skipper."
Skipper: "Just smile & wave, boys. Smile & wave."
I think you know how the rest of the story goes...
Underground Lair
Blowhole: "OK, Private. Here's the plan. I've been spying on Skipper for 2 years now. He'll be strong. He's gonna be smart. You, however, look just sweet and innocent enough to trick him into following you. Understand?"
Private: "Yes, but, how do I do that?"
Blowhole: "You'll figure it out when you see them."
Private: "What does he look like?"
Blowhole: *shows him picture* "This is who your looking for. He will be with 2 other penguins. I don't care if they come too. I can find something to do with them."
Private: "Aye."
Blowhole: "It's time. Bring them to me. Do not fail."
Private: "I shan't fail you, Doctor."
Blowhole: "Excellent."
Private: *turns & leaves*
4 Hours Later...
Private: *spots trio* There they are. *spots short cliff* I know just what to do...
Skipper: "So where do we go from here?"
Rico: "I dunno..."
Kowalski: "I heard the humans talking about some Zoo in Central Park. They said that the animals there get fed each day, & other humans can't touch them."
Skipper: "I don't know about that. How do we know it's safe? They are humans."
Kowalski: "We need to start over somewhere. I don't see what other choice we have."
Skipper: *sigh* "I suppose. Rico?"
Rico: *shrugs & nods head slowly*
Skipper: "So how do we get to this zo--"
Distant Voice: "Hey! Is anyone there?! Could somebody help me!?"
Skipper: "Roll out men!"
*Skipper, Rico, & Kowalski follow the sound of the voice*
Voice: "Help! Hurry!"
*penguins see a penguin lying on the ground in pain*
Skipper: "Hey, are you OK?"
Penguin: "I slipped off that small cliff & hurt my ankle. It hurts real bad! You have to help me! Please!"
Skipper: "It's OK, just calm down. What's your name, soldier?"
Penguin: "Private. Who are you 3 supposed to be? And why are you all on your own?"
Skipper: "I'm the Skipper, we've all had...issues. It's a long story. Kowalski! Analysis on that ankle!"
Kowalski: "On it, Skipper." *looks at ankle*
Private: "Ow! Be careful...uh...what did you say your name was?"
Kowalski: "Kowalski. I need you to be very still."
Rico: "HIII! I Rico!!"
Private: "Um, is he OK?"
Skipper: "Yeah, he's got a...gift. Rico!"
Rico: *hacks up firework*
Private: O.O *looks at Skipper*
Skipper: "Yeah, you get used to it. He's into the kablamo thing."
Kowalski: "Rico! Do you have anything I could rap this up in?"
Rico: *hacks up roll of gauze*
Private: "Where exactly does he get this stuff?"
Kowalski: "He snagged a few things when he was watching the humans set off the fireworks. He didn't know what he'd use them for though."
Rico: "KABLAMO!"
Kowalski: "Done. Can you stand?"
Private: "I'll try." *slowly stands, but Kowalski helps him support his left side* "Thanks."
Skipper: *finds stick & hands it to Private* "Here. Use this to support yourself. How did you get here, soldier?"
Private: *he had this story planned out, so he spoke without hesitation* "My dad passed before I was born. My mum died last week. I had no where else to go. I just started walking. No real destination in mind. Speaking of...Where are you all headed?"
Skipper: "We need to find a way to get to this zoo in Central Park. Only thing is, we don't know how to get there, nor which way to go."
Private: "Hey, I know where we can find a boat."
Skipper: "What's a boat?"
Private: "It's how humans transport over water. I guess they're just too lazy to swim."
Skipper: "Where can we find this, boat?"
Private: "Just let me lead the way."
Skipper: "OK. Roll out men."
Private: That's right you amateurs. Just follow me...
Scene 13
Antarctica
*the foursome are waddling along the frozen desert, well one of them is limping*
Skipper: "So...Private. How did you come to find out about this boat thingy?"
Private: "While I was waddling along, & I saw it there. Humans got in it, & it just started moving away."
Skipper: "If it started moving away, wouldn't that mean it isn't there anymore?"
Private: "Oh, it was at night when I witnessed this. The next morning, another boat was there."
Skipper: "So...It's a reoccurring thing then?"
Private: "I suppose. I don't see any other explanation."
Skipper: "Whatever you say..." Something feels a little...off...
Rico: "Hm, hm, hm, ka, bla, mo, hm, hm, hm..."
Kowalski: "Are you sure we're going the right way? There doesn't seem to be a lot of water for miles!"
Private: "Yes! I know what I'm doing! Don't you trust me?"
Kowalski: "OK! You don't have to get so angry, I was just asking..."
Private: "I'm sorry. I guess I'm still just a little broken up from my mum's death."
Kowalski: "It's fine. I understand."
Skipper: OK, I know he's up to something...but what could he possibly be up to? He looks so innocent. Hmmmmm...
Kowalski: "It's getting late. And Private, you do need to rest that ankle."
Private: "Yeah. *yawn* I suppose we should hit the sack then."
*the foursome take a place in the snow & begin to sleep*
Private: *staring at Skipper with anger in his eyes* How can you sleep?! You sleep so peacefully after what you did to my mother. How could you?! Have you no soul!? I can't wait for tomorrow. You'll get what's comin' to you soon enough Skipper...
The Next Morning...
Private: *awakes, & sees others still sleeping, walks over to Skipper, & hits him in the head with his crutch*
Skipper: *wakes with a start* "OW! What was that for!?"
Private: "Sorry, I was trying to wake you, I didn't mean to hit you that hard."
Skipper: "I'm fine. Let's wake the others."
Private: Idiot...
Skipper/Private: *wakes others*
Skipper: "Wakey, wakey, soldiers. It's morning."
Private: "Skipper, why do you call everyone soldier?"
Skipper: "No reason really. Just...picked it up from a friend."
Private: "Um...OK. We'd better get moving."
Kowalski: "Where can we find food?"
Private: "Oh, we don't have much further till cross a small pond. No worries."
Skipper: "Roll out."
Scene 14
Antarctica
*penguins pass a secluded pond*
Rico: "FISH!"
Skipper: "Exactamundo! Rico!"
*Rico & Kowalski dive in*
Skipper: "Don't worry Private, I'll bring up a second round for you."
Private: "Thanks."
Skipper: *salutes & dives in*
Private: Not much further now...just a little more...
Kowalski: *jumps out of water*
Rico: *jumps out after*
Skipper: *jumps out with fish in hand* "Here you go, young Private."
Private: "Oh, thanks." *begins eating*
Skipper: *goes & sits at the waters edge*
Private: *whispering* "Kowalski, what's his deal?"
Kowalski: "Oh. He does that sometimes. He goes to think about what happened to his parents."
Private: "His parents? What happened to his parents?"
Kowalski: "They were attacked by a leopard seal. His father saved his life."
Private: "Weird. My mum was attacked by a leopard seal."
Kowalski: "Oh, I'm sorry."
Private: "Sokay."
Kowalski: "Hey, if you wanna...talk...I'll listen."
Private: "Thanks, but I don't like talking about it."
Kowalski: *nods understandingly & leaves him to eat his fish*
Private: That's really weird...his parents were killed by a leopard seal...and so was my mum....
Kowalski: *finishes fish & goes to Private* "So how much longer till we see this boat?"
Private: "Oh, not much longer now. We should be there by tomorrow morning."
Kowalski: "Oh, OK then."
That Night...
*penguins are sleeping*
Private: Devouring...jaws...no...get away...no...no...no... *wakes with gasp & breathing heavily*
*Private looks around at the others sleeping, then sneaks up to splash water in his face*
Skipper: "You OK, amigo?"
Private: *jumps, stands, & turns to look at Skipper* "Oh! Um, what are you doing up?"
Skipper: "Oh, I just heard something & wanted to see if you were--Wait a minute..." *gasps* "YOU CAN WALK!?!?"
Private: *looks down at himself standing* "No! I'm just...putting my weight on one leg! See?" *begins limping to show Skipper he really is limping*
Kowalski: *wakes slowly* "What's going *yawn* on?"
Skipper: "Private...YOU'RE LIMPING ON THE WRONG LEG! WHAT IN THE NAME OF MONALISA'S SMILE IS GOING ON HERE?!?!"
Private: "Um...I...We..."
Rico: *wakes slowly* "Huh? Whasgoino?" (Translation: "Huh? What's going on?")
Skipper: "What's going on is that Private has been lying to us this entire time! Is there anything that you said that really was true!?!?"
Private: "Yes! My parents really did die!"
Skipper: "You know that's not what I mean! What are you trying to do, Private!? If that really is your name!"
Private: "YOU KILLED MY MOTHER!"
Skipper: "I...What? What are you talking about?! I never even knew your mother!"
Private: "You killed my mother!"
Scene 15
Antarctica
Skipper: "I don't know what you'r--"
Private: *--brings fist around & wallops Skipper*
Skipper: *blocks next punch* "What are you doing!? Explain yourself!"
Private: *starts fight*
*Skipper & Private begin fighting*
Skipper: *pins Private* "Explain yourself!!!"
Private: "You were there! It's all your fault!"
Skipper: "I was where!? Private! I still don't know what you're talking about!"
Private: "You were there! When my mother died! If you hadn't been there she'd still be alive!"
Skipper: "Look, kid! I don't know what you're talking about! I wasn't even conscious when my parents died!"
Private: "He saw everything! If your parents hadn't been there, my mother would have been saved!"
Skipper: "Who? Who saw everything?"
Private: Oh no...what have I done... "Um...I...he..."
Skipper: "WHO!" *bares down harder on Private's chest*
Private: "All right! Fine! I'll tell you! Just let me breathe!"
Skipper: *loosens his grip some* "Talk."
Private: "Look...Someone...I work for...He saw everything. You were walking with your parents, the leopard seal appeared, my mom tried to help, & she died. And it's all your fault." *looks at him with hate in his eyes*
Skipper: "How was it my fault? I didn't ask the leopard seal to kill our parents! Who told you all of this anyway!? What do you mean someone you work for!?"
Private: ...
Skipper: "ANSWER ME!"
Private: "Or what? You'll kill me too?"
Skipper: *looks at him in disbelief*
Private: "Is that what you're gonna do? Hm?"
Skipper: *gets off Private* "No. C'mon, boys. He's not worth it."
Skipper/Kowalski/Rico: *belly slide away without looking back*
Private: "What have I done." *begins walking back to Blowhole's HQ* Blowhole's gonna kill me...Or worse...torture me...Oh, what am I gonna do? I promised him I wouldn't fail. *approaches HQ & goes inside*
Blowhole: "Where are they Private? Surely you didn't fail me."
Private: "I...Yes, sir. I have failed you. But they found me out! There was nothing I could do--"
Blowhole: "--You were told not to fail! What do you have to say for yourself now, Private!?"
Private: "I...I don't know."
Blowhole: "Where are they now?"
Private: "I don't know."
Blowhole: "Well surely you must know something!"
Private: "No. After they found me out they turned & left."
Blowhole: "Well. Then I guess I have no use for you then." *pushes a button* "I'm sorry I had to do this Private...But no one fails Dr. Blowhole."
Private: *sees Blowhole's minions coming to get him, & begins running*
Scene 16
Antarctica
Skipper: "I can't believe we fell for that cute & cuddly act Private put on."
Kowalski: "Yes, we fell for it like first year hatchlings."
Rico: *sadly* "Uh-huh."
Skipper: "So...Now that we're probably miles off course...where do we go from here?"
Kowalski: *looks at stars* "Well, according to the stars...we should find water...that way." *points in direction*
Skipper: "You got that from the stars?"
Kowalski: "Yeah. I spent some time studying the solar system, star charts, solar radiation--"
Skipper: "--In Americano please."
Kowalski: "I learned a lot of space stuff."
Skipper: "Oh. Well...we should probably spend the rest of the night sleeping. We'll need as much strength for the morning as we can get."
Kowalski: *yawn* "Yeah. We should."
Rico: "NIGHTYNIGH!" (Translation: "NIGHTY NIGHT!")
*penguins sleep*
The Next Afternoon...
*penguins were awake & waddling*
Skipper: "So how much further Kowalski?"
Kowalski: "Not long now Skipper."
Rico: "Fish?"
Kowalski: "I don't know Rico. It could be a while before we find food."
Rico: *stomach grumbles*
Skipper: "I agree, Rico. I'm hungry as well."
Kowalski: "As am I."
Skipper: "There isn't any way for you to know where we can find food, Kowalski?"
Kowalski: "Sorry, Skipper."
Skipper: "Uuuugh. I'm withering away to nothing here."
Kowalski: "No, Skipper I believe you have a bit of spare time on tha--" *sees Skipper looking annoyed at him* "Um...gosh you're thin..."
Skipper: "Nice save...Anyway...we should--What's that?"
*all turn around*
Private: *belly-sliding toward them* "Hey! Wait!"
Skipper: "Aw, him again!?"
Kowalski: "What does he want?"
Rico: *hacks up firework* "Kaboom?"
Skipper: "No, just be ready for action."
*penguins get into battle position*
Private: *comes up to them* "Guys! You have to help me!"
Skipper: "Why should we help you?! You lied to us! And you couldn't even have the decency to tell us why!"
Private: "I know. I know. At this point I wouldn't trust me either. But you don't understand. I didn't know before. He lied to me too."
Skipper: "Who?"
Private: "His name is Dr. Blowhole. He told me a pack of lies. He wanted me to lure you to him."
Skipper: "Dr. Blowhole? What does he have against me? I don't even know the guy."
Private: "I don't know. He says he's been spying on you for the past 2 years. He says you have a gift. I don't know..."
Skipper: "Why are you telling me all this? Last time I saw you you were trying to kill me."
Private: "I know. And I don't expect you to forgive me. But you have to understand that I just didn't know then."
Skipper: "Know what?"
Private: "Dr. Blowhole lied to me."
Scene 17
Underground Lair
12 Hours Earlier...
*captured by Blowhole's minions, Private once again sits in the presence of Dr. Blowhole...tied up in a chair*
Private: "Will you just do whatever it is you are gonna do to me?!"
Blowhole: "Oh...I do not intend to harm you, Private."
Private: "Then...what are you gonna do to me?"
Blowhole: "Oh. I'm not going to do anything. You on the other hand are going to go after those penguins & bring them to me."
Private: "And why would I do that?"
Blowhole: "Because, Private, there is someone I want you to meet..."
Private: "What are you talking about?"
Blowhole: "It was a tragic day that leopard seal attacked..."
Private: "What does that have to do with anything?"
Blowhole: "Well, Private...The reason you're going to bring me those penguins is because it's the only way you're going to save...her..." *presses button*
*a light is shown on a cage hanging from the ceiling, a bruised female penguin is inside of it...*
Private: "How did...It can't...That's imposs--"
Blowhole: "Oh, but it is possible Private."
Private: "But...How?! Let her go!"
Blowhole: "I will...as soon as you bring me those penguins."
Private: "Why are you doing this to me!?"
Blowhole: "As if you don't know..."
Private: *thinks a second, then says slowly* "You...You were the one who sent that leopard seal..."
Blowhole: "Right you are, Private."
Private: "But...WHY!?"
Blowhole: "Well, there was sort of a mix up that day. I intended for the seal to take Skipper's mother, to lure him to me, but then these other penguins come & ruin everything! He brought me the wrong penguin. And I figured that I might as well use what I got..."
Private: "Just let her go! I'll do anything you want! Just let her go!"
Blowhole: "Bring those penguins to me."
Private: "...Fine."
That Afternoon...
Skipper: "...So, he was after my mom?"
Private: "Afraid so. I'm sorry."
Skipper: "I understand...but...How do I know we can trust you?"
Private: "I don't know, you're just gonna have to take my word for it."
Others: ...
Private: "Please. I'm not making this up. You have to help me save my mother."
Scene 18
Antarctica
Skipper: *looks at other penguins*
Kowalski/Rico: *shrugs*
*other penguins huddle in a group & begin whispering*
Skipper: "What do you boys make of this?"
Kowalski: "I don't know, Skipper. It could very well be a trap."
Rico: "Uh-huh."
Skipper: "But...What if he really is telling the truth this time?"
Kowalski: "How can we be sure he's telling us the truth?"
Rico: "Kaboom?"
Skipper: "No kaboom."
Rico: "Awww."
Kowalski: "What should we do?"
Skipper: *sigh* "Well, I think we should help him."
Kowalski/Rico: "What?"
Skipper: "I don't know, it's something about him. I think he's telling the truth this time."
Kowalski: *sigh* "Fine. Even though we may be falling into another trap...Never swim alone, right?"
Rico: "Swim!"
Skipper: "Exactamundo Rico!"
*penguins separate & turn to look at Private*
Private: "I heard every word of that."
Skipper: "Oh, I--"
Private: "It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm not leading you into a trap this time. I really mean it."
Skipper: "So...What exactly are we going to do?"
Private: "I have a plan. But you're gonna have to trust me if it's gonna work."
Underground Lair
Private: *walks in with other penguins being guided in by minions*
Blowhole: "Excellent work, Private."
Skipper: "YOU TRADER! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE FELL FOR YOUR LIES!"
Private: "Sorry Skipper. Maybe one day you'll understand."
*Kowalski & Rico are tied up & guarded in a corner...Skipper is tied up in a chair in the middle of the room*
Private: "Alright I held up my end of the deal, no you yours."
Blowhole: "Alright, fine. Let her go!"
*cage is lowered to the floor & unlocked*
Susan: "Oh Private! I've missed you so much!" *runs to him*
*Private & Susan embrace*
Blowhole: "OK, as much as I would love to watch this touching reunion...I have better things to do."
*Private & Susan leave*
Kowalski/Rico: *gives Private a scowling look as he leaves*
Blowhole: "Now on to more important things."
Skipper: "OK, you have me you one-eyed freak. So what do you want me for?"
Scene 19
Underground Lair
Skipper: "OK, you have me you one-eyed freak. So what do you want me for?"
Blowhole: "You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this moment..."
Skipper: "Yeah, yeah, get on with it. I've been told I have a gift you want. Did I miss your birthday, flippy?" *says sarcastically*
Blowhole: "DON'T CALL ME THAT!"
Skipper: "Why? Did I hurt your feelings?"
Blowhole: *slaps him* "Oh, I will enjoy killing you..."
Skipper: "Killing me? What did I ever do to you?"
Blowhole: "I guess daddy dearest never told you."
Skipper: "Told me what?"
Blowhole: "Skipper...Your father was a secret agent."
Skipper: "Um, I think I would know that. Secret agents are gone all the time. My father was always around."
Blowhole: "That's because after you hatched he quit to help raise you."
Skipper: "We--Wait? What does my father have to do with any of this?"
Blowhole: "Not too long before you hatched, I was working on a project with my own father. A contraption that would rule over Antarctica! Called...The Annihilator!"
Skipper: "Um...OK. What's the Annihilator?"
Blowhole: "The Annihilator was to deplete all the fish in the Antarctic waters...all but the fish in our area..."
Skipper: "So...then anyone who wanted fish would have to come to you..."
Blowhole: "Ugh! I was getting to that part! Anyway...Your father ruined everything! He destroyed the Annihilator, which resulted in the death of my father. I think you know where I'm going with this..."
Skipper: "So...you want to kill me, for something my father did to you? I had nothing to do with that!"
Blowhole: "Yes...I already got revenge on your father...But that wasn't enough for me...I wanted the next generation..."
Skipper: "What do you mean you already got revenge on my fa--
...
*says slowly* You were the one who sent that leopard seal..."
Blowhole: "Well...It sure took ya long enough..."
Skipper: "So what are you gonna do to me? Dolphin cackle me to death?" C'mon! C'mon! Almost got it...
Blowhole: *slaps him again* "Oh, I enjoy doing that...What I plan to do to you Skipper...Is to use my new & improved Annihilator to put you out of your misery...And don't worry...It'll be nice...& slow..."
Skipper: Almost got it...
Blowhole: "Any last words, Skipper?"
Skipper: Got it! *stares into Blowhole's eyes* "No."
Blowhole: *presses button to reveal the Annihilator, a large machine with an antenna looking thing pointed right at Skipper*
Blowhole: "Tell your father I said hello..." *presses button*
Scene 20
Underground Lair
Skipper: "Um...It's not working..."
Blowhole: "You think I don't know that!" *presses button frantically*
"I think your little contraption will be a little hard to operate without these!"
Blowhole: "Hey! Grab him! Get those wires!"
Skipper: *jumps out of chair & heads toward Kowalski & Rico to untie them* Thank you for that long flashback Blowhole! Gave me just enough time to get the ropes around my flippers untied...
Minions: *tries to stop them, but Skipper & Private take them out*
Skipper: "I was beginning to think you weren't going to follow through with that little plan of yours Private." *unties Kowalski*
Private: *unties Rico* "I promised that I would get you out as soon as I got my mother out, didn't I? Besides, you all trusted me enough to help, I would be fool not to return the favor."
Kowalski: "Was I convincing?"
Private: "Kowalski, that scowl was so believable even I was mad at me! Let's go!"
Skipper: "Rico!"
Rico: *hacks firework at Annihilator, causing it to blow to bits*
*penguins begin to leave, but Dr. Blowhole along with the minions stop them at the entrance*
Blowhole: "And where do you think you pain-gu-ins are going? Hm? Atta-a-a-a-ck!"
*minions charge at the penguins*
Rico: "HAHA! HEALSUNY!" (Translation: "HAHA! HE TALKS FUNNY!) *begins fighting*
Skipper: "We can take 'em men!"
*penguins fight minions*
Private: "Skipper! Look out!" *knocks Skipper out of the way of an incoming piece of concrete falling from the ceiling, which causes it to fall on his head...knocking him out*
Skipper: "We've got to get him out of here!"
Blowhole: "I don't think so!" *presses button, opening a door that allows more minions to come in*
Skipper: *grabs Private & charges for the door, Kowalski & Rico following*
Blowhole: "Attack! Do not let them leave this lair!"
Rico: *hacks up another firework, causing debris to fall on a group of minions*
*penguins make it outside, Private still unconscious*
Kowalski: *examines him* "Well, he's breathing. That's good."
Skipper: "Do you know how long it'll be until--"
Blowhole: *--bursts out of underground lair stark raving mad* "I am not going to let you pain-gu-ins get away!"
Skipper: * nonchalantly* "Rico."
Rico: *hacks up small firework causing a whole to form in the ice*
Blowhole: *tries to slow down but fails & falls into the hole* "NOOOOO! You have not seen the last of Dr. Blowhole! I will have my revenge! Do you pain-gu-ins here me!? I will get you for this!" *continues talking, but the penguins are waddling away*
Skipper: "Well we can put him at the top of my list of arch enemies."
Private: *wakes up slowly* "Oooooh, my head."
Skipper: "Can you hear me soldier? How many fingers?"
Private: "Um...Is this a trick question?"
Kowalski: "Can you stand?"
Private: "Yeah...Sure..." *stands up slowly* "Did we...win?"
Skipper: "Yep. That plan to make Dr. Blowhole think you captured us was genius."
Scene 21
Antarctica
Kowalski: "Private...How do you feel?"
Private: "I...I don't know...I feel...weird..."
Kowalski: "Weird how?"
Private: "I...I don't really remember much of what went on in there..."
Kowalski: "What do you remember?"
Private: "Um...I remember bits & pieces..."
Kowalski: "What do you mean?"
Private: "There are a lot of things a bit fuzzy..."
Skipper: "Well, I'm sure it'll come back to you." *slaps on back*
Private: Hmmm, I'm sure there was something about my uncle...oh well, I'd remember if it were that important...
Skipper: "You know? We make a good team."
Kowalski: "Agreed. We handled that situation pretty well for a few penguins."
Rico: "YEAH!"
Skipper: "So where's your mom now?"
Private: "She's in a safer place. No one will ever find her there."
Kowalski: "So you're not going back?"
Private: "No. I'd only endanger the flock."
Skipper: "That's a brave move. You know, you could come with us."
Private: "You really mean it?"
Skipper: "Affirmative, young Private. So, how are we gonna get to that zoo?"
Rico: *points* "Uh, owoutat?" (Translation: "Uh, how about that?")
*others look to see a vehicle that humans are getting in to*
Skipper: "Roll out."
*penguins go & get on the back of the truck*
Private: "So, do you think the zoo will be nice?"
Skipper: "Well, that's a chance we're gonna have to take."
Antarctic Dock
Human 1: "Hey! Those penguins are back in the truck!"
Ship's Captain: "What do you want me to do about it?"
Human 2: "We were gonna take them to the Central Park Zoo. They've been looking for some penguins."
Human 1: "Zoo?! This penguin here is going to make me some money! He's got objects in his stomach!"
Human 2: "Dude! I told you! You had to imagine that! There's no way that cute & cuddly penguin could do anything like that!"
Human 1: "No! I saw it! It--"
Captain: "I agree with him. Now just move out the way & I'll get a shipping crate."
Human 2: "Just let it go, man."
Human 1: "But--"
Human 2: "Let it go!"
Human 1: "Fine."
Captain: *comes back with crate & puts the penguins inside* "All aboard!"
*the penguins are then put on the boat to be taken to the Central Park Zoo*
Scene 22
The Central Park Zoo: New York City
*penguins were put in their habitat, & were now surrounded by humans*
Private: "Skipper? What do we do?"
Human 3: "Hey, penguins! Aw, your so cute!"
Kowalski: "Apparently we're here for the humans amusement..."
Skipper: "Um...ah...."
Private: "How are we supposed to make these humans believe we are just regular penguins?"
Human 4: "They're so cuddly!"
Kowalski: "Skipper...We need to do something!"
Skipper: "Will you be quiet for a minute! I'm trying to think here!"
Human 4: *starts waving at the penguins while smiling*
Rico: "Kaboom?"
Skipper: "NO! I'm trying to think here!"
Human 5: "Look at the cute little penguins!"
Kowalski: "I'M NOT CUTE!"
Skipper: *looks around* "There's no way that cute & cuddly penguin could do anything like that!" "I can't believe we fell for that cute & cuddly act Private put on." "Hey, penguins! Aw, your so cute!" "They're so cuddly!" "Look at the cute little penguins!" I have an idea... "OK, so those humans want cute & cuddly...We'll give them cute & cuddly."
Kowalski: "But I don't wanna be cute!"
Rico: "CUTE!"
Skipper: "Exactamundo, Rico!"
Private: "I don't think I know how to act cute & cuddly, Skipper."
Skipper: "Just smile & wave, boys. Smile & wave."
I think you know how the rest of the story goes...
