"BADGER PRIDE" "New bush?" "Since when?" "Don't mind me, Marlene." "I'm just a happy little shrub." "Private, what are you doing?" "Camouflage training." "If I move a single muscle, the game's up so just pretend I'm not here, okay?" "Okay." "Oh, and Private?" "You're selling it." "Good job." "Thanks, Mar" " Direct hit!" " Booya!" "Oops." "Sweet collateral damage!" "They touched down in the park." "Private, where are you?" "Fall in, soldier." "Ah, there you are." "Yes, but where's Marlene?" "Oh, yes." "Because she was born in captivity, when Marlene leaves the confines of the zoo, she goes, and this is a technical term" "Oh, right, forgot about that." "Hey, Rico, see if you can..." "stamble toward the zoo." "Just a few more agonizing feet, Rico." "What's up, Rico?" "Hey, did I go all feral again?" "Um... just a bit." "No need to fret, Marlene." "You're back in the safe, civilizing environs of the zoo." "Wait, how did I get out?" "That is a complete and total mystery, one we intend to thoroughly investigate." "Mm-hm." "You guys did it, huh?" "Marlene, it would be premature to speculate at this early phase." "Badgers!" "Yep, we've known they were coming for weeks." "We've been trying to find a good time to tell you." "I guess now is it." "Request permission to go hide in my bunk... forever." "Denied." "It's high time you got over this silly fear, Private." "family Mustelidae." "Exactly, and you're not afraid of me, are you?" "In the zoo or out of the zoo?" "You're funny." "Come on!" "No, no!" "I don't want to meet the badgers!" "There is nothing to be afraid of." "Okay, okay, you're right." "Badgers are nice and friendly and they probably don't even have 6-inch flesh-rending incisors." "Let me go!" "No, no." "We are gonna go through with this." "Is it me or is this badger habitat surprisingly low on badgers?" "In there." " Honey, we have visitors!" " Visitors?" "Sweet!" " Super sweet." " Super sugary sweet." "Hey, I'm Marlene." " Marlene, I'm Becky." " And I'm Stacy." " Correct me if I'm wrong, but" " Otter." " Hey, spoiler alert!" " Sorry, got excited." "Yeah, yeah, I'm an otter." "So, you're practically our cousin." " Family!" " Family!" "Yeah, family." "And this little cutie?" "Becky, I've seen them in books." " Glossy magazines." " TV shows." " DVDs." " And TV shows on DVD!" "That is a penguin!" "Yes, I'm a penguin." "Let's get on with it!" "Devour me with your flesh-rending incisors already!" "Devour?" "Flesh-rending incisors?" "Private is just maybe a little bit terrified of you guys." "Well, that's a shame because I've got this peanut butter winkie here and nobody to share it with." "Peanut... butter..." "winkie?" "Mm-mm, good winkie." "Belly up, bud." "There's more where that came from." "Oh, my!" "Winkies everywhere!" "Marlene, can you guys stay for lunch?" "Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes!" "Okay, yes." "See you soon, cousin!" "Right back at you, cousin." "Okay." "Was I so right and you so wrong or what?" "All right, okay, I admit it." "I was a silly billy dingdong." "Okay, not the words I would choose but yeah, I embrace the spirit." "Yes, yes." "Hey, cousin." "Late night snack attack?" "Caramel corn and boysenberry smoothies." " So yum!" " So yum!" "Spontaneous slumber party!" "Woo!" "Let's go hang gliding!" "Okay, let me down." "Okay, let me down." "Okay, let me down." "Okay, let me down." "Who's up for a game of Simon says?" "Ooh, ooh, I'm Simon!" "No!" "I mean, it's late." "I think I'll pass." "I didn't say "Simon says."" " You didn't say anything." " I know." "I don't think she gets this game at all." "Seriously, guys, I'm exhausted." "Okay." "But we'll see you tomorrow, right, cousin?" "We've got a full day planned." "Don't want to give away too much, but spontaneous scavenger hunt!" "Shh, you didn't hear from us." "Because then it wouldn't be spontaneous." "Okay, well, we'll see, guys." "Maybe." "Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes!" "Oh my gosh, will you guys stop "badgering" me?" "Badger?" "Oh, I wish you hadn't said that." "Is that what you think badgers do, Marlene?" "Badger?" "I so didn't mean it that way." "I'm so sorry." "You said it, Marlene, so you must have meant it." "Calm, Becky." "Find your happy space." "She didn't mean to spew hateful badger stereotypes." "You think badgers badger, Marlene?" "Huh, do you?" "Do you, do you, do you?" "No, no." "I was just saying I don't want to play anymore silly games, that's all." "Silly?" "I had them all wrong." "I mean, Stacy and Becky are regular folks just like you and me." "Well, me." "Anyway, in the end, there's nothing to fear." "Hide me, hide me!" "The badgers are gonna shred me!" "They're gonna shred me to pieces!" "I was right!" "Never trust a badger!" "And then they said when they were finished, even my own mother wouldn't recognize what was left." "Now, now, that won't happen." "Yes, your right foot is very distinctive." "Your mother would surely recognize that." "And also, we are going to help you." "Nice recovery, Kowalski." "Video surveillance, laser beam barrier, barbed wire." "And an old-fashioned tripline connected to a bell." "That's a lot of stuff." "Take this garlic clove." "It works off evil badger spirits." "Now, sleep easy, Marlene." "This security net is impenetrable." "Thanks." "I feel better already." "Great, then we can knock off early." "Roll out, men." "Garlic." "Those guys." "What's so funny, Marlene?" "You hear a joke?" "A silly joke?" "A silly badger joke?" "A silly badger joke about garlic and how it wards off evil badger spirits?" "You heard that one too?" "It's kind of funny, right?" "No!" "It's just another insulting badger stereotype." "Insulting and untrue." "You sure?" "I don't know, there might be something to it!" "It's the badgers!" "Hurry!" "Um, you three go ahead." "I've got an idea." "Sure you do, Private." "No, really, I'm working on something!" "Okay, that doesn't sound chicken-y at all." "Help!" "Halt, stubby-legged mam" "Kowalski, Rico!" "Sticky situation scenario." " Uh-oh." " Out of ammo, Skipper." " Sorry." " Blast!" "Give chase, men!" "Nowhere to run now, cousin." "Who's going to save you now?" "I don't know but I do have a question." "What's that bush doing here?" "This!" "Hm?" "Uh-oh." "I'm outside." "Wow, nothing gets past you, does it?" "I'm..." "O-outside!" "That is so wrong." "Stace, I think maybe we should... run!" "Please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me!" "Nice anti-badger measure, Private." "Thanks, Skipper." "I didn't quite plan for them to actually take Marlene." "Well, it's working anyway." "Shouldn't we do something, Skipper?" "It's a family matter, Kowalski." "There's no way I'm getting in the middle of that." "Smashing good picnic." "I'm so glad we're all friends again." "Forgive and forget." "Can't imagine it any other way."
