"And now, DreamWorks' The Penguins of Madagascar." " Oh, Brick?" " Yeah, Cecil?" "Well, Well, looks like our old tWo-bit thieves have hit the high seas." "KoWalski, What's the catch of the day?" "Over 12 tons of..." "Patagonian Toothfish?" "!" "I don't understand either one of those Words." "These felonious chumps have been pirate fishing in Antarctic Waters." "Also, over my head." "That's the penguin's mother land." "Boys, those deep Water deadbeats just stole from our mama!" "Mama?" "!" "All right, you shanty, singin' salt dogs, you Wanna play pirate?" "Who am I to arrgghh-ue?" "Oh, that I got!" "Isn't that the?" "Cecil?" " Ahoy!" " I'm going to kick you in the face now!" "You!" "En garde!" "That's a bad move, bird." "I Was captain of the fencing team..." "Oh, I am the pirate king!" "And it 'tis, it 'tis a glorious thing to be a pirate king!" "Bird." "Thank you, loading area." "Good night!" "Hey!" "Is somebody out there?" "!" " Hello?" " Please!" "I'm about to get fish sticked!" " Where are you?" " Up here!" "Inside the tank!" "What happened?" "Some jerk snagged me in one of their stupid fishing nets." "You're all the Way from Antarctica then?" "Are We really having a conversation right noW?" " Sorry, hang on." " Hang on to What?" "Everything's either slicey or smashy or fish!" "Just... just give me your hand." "Trust me." "Why didn't you tell me there Was a leopard seal in here With you?" "!" "I am the leopard seal, dummy." "Predator!" "Deceiver!" "Carnivorous charlatan!" "You..." "You saved me." "Yeah, and I kind of expected some rescue payback." "There you are." "Come on!" "Johnny law just spotted our pirate roundup." "Go on, I'll catch up." "Nippin' the old processed fish sticks?" "All right, just don't ruin your supper." "We're having fish." "Why, yes, of course." "Hey!" "Yes!" "You rock, little penguin." " Please don't eat me." " Are you kidding me?" "I don't even like penguin." "It smells like orca poop." " Hello?" " OK, so I believe you." "I'm just gonna keep believing you from up here." "You know What?" "Believe What you Want." "I'm going home." "now, Which Way Would that be?" "Curiously, officers found the duo tied up and ready for arrest." "And in an even curiouser twist, one of the men had a live fish shoved down the back of his slacks." "What are you gonna do?" "OK, so..." "Who likes surprises?" "We're Watching our press." "Along With depleting endangered fishing stocks, pirate boats often snare other helpless Wildlife in their nets, like albatrosses and leopard seals." "What is this hippie media spin?" "Since When is removing leopard seals from the predator chain a crime?" "Leopard seals." "Nature's Whiskeriest killing machine!" "Right, so... if hypothetically one of us rescued a Whiskery killing machine," " mind you, a very pleasant one..." " Hypothetical denied, Private." "There's no such thing as a pleasant killing machine." " Hi." "I'm..." " Killing machine!" "Wait!" "Stop, everyone!" "It's OK." "I brought her here." " Say What?" " It Was Brick and Cecil's fault." "They accidentally caught..." " Actually, I didn't catch your name." " Hunter." "Honestly, how is that helpful?" "Please, all she Wants to do is go home to Antarctica." "She's not gonna eat any of us." "Don't fall for her blubbery lies, Private." "Leopard seals eat penguins." "Not me." "I am a strict fishetarian." "See?" "Bird meat is gross." "Has anybody here actually tasted penguin?" "Great, right?" "I mean, how lucky Was I, running across the one leopard seal Who doesn't eat penguins?" "Oh, you poor, naive half-Wit." "All leopard seals start out With a non-penguin diet." "Fish, krill, your basic smaller squids." "I love squid." "It's like gummy seafood." "But once they grow out of the pup years, even the most strict "fishetarian" seal turns into a..." "Well, I'll just let the hand puppet illustrate this one." "Hello, Ms. Leopard Seal." "I hear you only eat fish." "No more, sucker!" "What?" "That's just silly talk." "Hey!" "Don't know me, can't judge me." " I don't even sound like that." " Oh!" "Please, don't!" "Would you get that puppet out of my face?" "!" "So... that Was Weird... right?" "Well, We'll just have to get her home While she's still young." " What?" " Have you gone completely mad?" "She's in trouble, Skipper." "And as penguins of honor, it's our duty to help." "You should splash down somewhere in the East River." "Then... go south." "Hunter's only a pup." "She'll never make it to Antarctica on her own." "Sure she Will." "Leopard seals are a crafty breed." "Rico, count us down!" "Private!" "Why didn't I install an undo button?" "!" "Boys, Private just hitched a ride on the pit-a-pet express to new Deadburg." "We don't let a man swim into seal-infested Waters alone." "Even our most naively stupid man." "Orders, Skipper?" "Fire up the submarine, Mr. KoWalski." "We're going to..." "Dramatic pause." "...Antarctica." "Rico, Weapons check." "Test fire the torpedo tubes." "What in the name of Aaron Burr's slapping glove?" "Hello." "Do you like my secret royal nappity tube?" "It's dark, it's quiet, and it makes me feel like a handsome vampire." "Shall We reverse course to dump our unwanted cargo, Skipper?" " Negative." "Private needs us ASAP." " Hey, a little respect for the undead." "Ringtail, prepare yourself for an epic journey of carnivorous peril, from Which We may not return." "Will there be the possibility of forbidden love" "With a beguiling lady werewolf?" " Nope." " Man." "OK." "But, I'm gonna do my handsome vampire mopey face." " Are you sure about this?" " Let's get you home." "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" " Sorry." " That's all right." " We're all friends here." " So We're friends now?" "Well, maybe not quite yet." "But you know just the thing for that?" " Road trip!" " Road trip!" "Eight thousand, five hundred and twenty- three miles" "Feels like half of a minute" "Over before you begin it" "Best friends we will be" "At the bottom of the sea" "For eight thousand, five hundred and twenty- three miles" "Do a barrel roll!" "Oh, my gosh!" "We're totally close!" "Great!" "You recognize this place then?" "No." "I can just tell because of all the leopard seals." " Hey!" " Seals." "So many." " So mouthy." " Would you cut it..." "You're OK, Private." "They haven't caught your scent yet." "how can you be sure?" "Because, all of your tasty parts are still attached to your other parts." "I do know this place!" "There's a tunnel down there that leads to my village!" "What, down there With the seals?" " Kind of." " Right." "Stay calm and carry on." "Food?" "Food?" "Food?" "Food." "Food!" "Custom horn." "This is so boss." "Yes, it's the little details that make a War machine." "Private... in extreme peril." "Right." "Fire all torpedoes!" "No, it's OK, because I also put the torpedoes in the fruit place." "Hello, banana." "Would you like to be a smoothie now?" "Why, banana?" "!" "Nice try, psycho killers." "No tiny-brained seal skull can pound through six inches of steel." "Tell me, Where did you find the invisible see-through steel?" "Oh, crud." "now I just feel fat." "Did you see how brilliant We Were down there?" "With that flashy throwing maneuver?" "I know!" "That's like our thing now." "We totally have a thing." "We're here!" "Private, you did it!" " You got me home!" " No, you did it." " You proved you Wouldn't eat me!" " I know!" "Yay me!" "All right, off you go then, you savage penguin devourer." "Right." "You made me spill my lemonade." "Sorry." "Anyway, thanks." "Bye." "I'll always remember you." "You too." "You take care." "Don't eat anyone I Wouldn't eat." "She's a good kid." "Food." "Well, the good news is the seals have left us for dead." "I should mention this is also the bad news." " Options." " With our streamlined penguin bodies, and outstanding lung capacity, We should be able to swim to the surface." "But how long can Julien hold his breath?" "Hold it in What?" "I see." "Carry the..." "It's impossible!" "He'd have to be able to swim at 45 knots," " roughly the speed of a fired torpedo." " Really?" "Deploy handsome vampire." "Let me go, you big bully!" "One." "We got one penguin." "What Was everybody else doing With the afternoon?" "I Was Watching cable." "I love cable." "You, do the math." "What's one penguin Work out to on a per-seal basis?" " Food?" " Good Work." " OK, food." " Me?" "Hop in the jaws." "I gotta divvy up the goods With my teeth." "These things are useless With a knife and fork." "Look at 'em." "Hey, move it." "Daddy!" " That's your father?" " Fuzzy face!" "Where have you been hiding?" "I Was captured by pirates and dragged to new York City." "WoW." "I am looking like a very mediocre parent right noW." "And this penguin is the one Who rescued me." "Really?" "Food saved my kid?" "Prepare the celebratory feast." "Let's hear it for Food!" "Food!" "What?" "Well, this Was unexpected." "Oh, yeah." "I totally thought they Were gonna eat you." "What, after Food rescued my little girl?" "What am I, a monster?" "Proclamation:" "Food here is off-limits, and I mean to everybody!" "Looking at you right noW, Reginald." "I can't believe how Well this turned out." "I got a new friend." "We took a fantastic trip." "And nobody's going to eat me!" "I blame you." "Dad!" "These are Private's friends." "They rescued you too?" " Technically, they Were against it." " Soup's on!" " Food!" " Wait!" " No!" " What is this, a joke?" "Because if it's the one about making penguin intestine balloon animals," "I've heard it and it's hilarious." "Balloon animals, you say?" "So... is this a potluck?" "'Cause I brought some ice." "Why are We eating any of these penguins?" "Cookie-burger, We're leopard seals." "Fish gotta swim, penguins gotta be eaten." " It is What it is." " That's What I've been saying." "Yes, I understand the implications." "I just like to be right." "But you're not right, Skipper." "You all thought Hunter Would eat me, but look." " Still in one piece." " We're living proof that seals and penguins don't have to be predator and prey." " We can even be friends." " Check it out." "We even have our own thing." "Hop in, friend." " What?" " Good technique, honey bear." " What?" " Your "friend thing"" "is decidedly unfriendly." "Thrashing a penguin from side to side is how leopard seals tenderize the meat before, Well..." "You remember the hand puppet." "What?" "!" "No, I Wasn't!" "I'm afraid all you've proven is that you are a born carnivore." "You make that sound like a bad thing." "Come on, smart guy, admit you're delicious." "I..." "I'm sorry, Private." "We'll save you a Wing, pumpkin!" "Did you Want any, or Would that just be Weird?" "Wait..." "May I ask you What sort of penguin recipe you're using?" " Eat." " All right, yes." "That one's a classic." "But, you know What's even more yummy?" "The taste of penguin meat after a good, long marinating." "There's no touching the feet!" "But seriously, I miss him." "I thought everybody Was at the feast." "Yeah, the penguins sounded tasty, but the side dishes Were just..." "Maybe I'll just go somewhere else." "You are confused and upset." "You should talk to me." "I am excellent at telling people What to do." "I don't Want to be a penguin-eating predator." "So don't be." "There." "Fixed." " Right." "I Wish it Was that easy." " Of course it is." "You ridiculously sausage-shaped animal, you." "You know What I did today?" "I nailed the play-acting of a handsome vampire." "Did a crazy-aWesome barrel roll!" "And I totally kicked a snoW-Mort halfway to Anti-Antarctica." "What does that have to do With anything?" "You think anybody else Wanted me to do those things?" " Go ahead, answer." " No." "Who cares?" "Who else can be telling you What you have to do or to be or to not do or be?" "Nobody." "So you're saying it doesn't matter What everybody thinks I'm supposed to be," "I mean, Who says I have to be like everyone else?" "Right?" "No." "I am saying it's awesome to be king." "I don't know Where you got that other stuff." "Come on!" "Marinating?" "You picked marinating?" "!" "Well, I had to do something to buy time for a jailbreak." "Mission half-accomplished." "now, What's the escape plan?" " Great moment!" " Hunter!" " Out for blood, predator?" " Out to save my friend." "And you three, I guess." "But only on principle." "Food?" "Food!" "They're coming!" "Everybody surrender!" "Edible ones first!" "down the mountain, it's the quickest Way to the ocean!" "Yes, and technically, falling off a building is the quickest Way to the sidewalk!" "They're coming up too fast!" "Hang on!" "I'll run a diversion!" "That's my girl!" "Go, Hunter!" "In your doody face!" "Up ahead!" "Aim for the ramp!" "You can launch to a safe distance!" " You're not coming?" " I can't." " I belong here With..." " Go, Daddy!" "Dad!" "Private, don't be a hero!" "Don't be a fool With your life!" "Food, you saved me." "Yes, Well, my "instinct" said to run, but We can't always listen to those silly things, can We?" " Instincts." "I get you." " Everybody OK?" " Food!" " Food!" "Go on, get him out of here." " You trust me?" " I'll miss you." "Yeah." "Shut up and hop in." "Food!" "Dang." "Slippery little tasty nuggets, aren't they?" "Love you, Dad." "Come on, I think I've got some squid in the freezer." "And by "the freezer" I mean our front porch." "I hate Antarctica." "Private, I may have misjudged that she-predator." "And you." "If a penguin and a leopard seal can learn to get along in this crazy, mixed-up World, then maybe there's hope for all of us." "What?" "I Was curious." "All of us, minus one." "Hit it!" "Come on, yeah, dance" "Cute and cuddly, boys." "Sorry, boys." "You just got flanked." "I'd say this simulated combat exercise is over." "I'd say that, too, Skipper, if that flanking maneuver hadn't sent your man straight into our classic pincer trap." "We fooled you, Skipper." "What?" "!" "Man!" "But What you failed to take into account is, this terrain just turned into molten lava." "Your man's legs melted." "Look!" "A scientist just developed personal hover technology." "And We just developed laser eye beams." "But We're Wearing mirrored disco ball pants that reflect your laser eyes back at you." "I called no lava!" " Missile, incoming!" " Look out!" "Skipper, did the missile just tell us to look out?" "What new madness is this?" "Activate the talking missile defense shield." "Deploy!" "Backhand punch." "Shields penetrated." "Ground units, move in." "What the?" "That ain't no missile." "That's a lady." "What a lady." "A peregrine falcon, I believe." "One of new York City's skyscraper-dWelling birds of prey." "A huntress, a Winged mistress of perilous skies." "Enchanté, Miss?" "Kitka." "Sorry if I frightened you." "Frightened?" "Madam, I eat fright for breakfast." "With skeleton marshmallows." "I see We are much alike." "I also have a taste for danger." "Served extra crispy?" "With a side of mortal jeopardy." "Then perhaps fate meant for us to dine together." "But how rude of me not to introduce the team." "I'm the Skipper, and these guys are the... others." " Hello." " Wassup?" "So anyway, What does bring you to our zoo, Miss Kitka?" "I smacked into a window and hurt my Wing." "Just tried to fly it off, but I think it may be broken." "KoWalski, medical exam." " It's broken." " But my nest is at the top of the Consolidated Amalgamated Building in midtown." "how Will I get home?" "I'd suggest the six train to 33rd street, then a quick hop..." "Miss Kitka, I insist you stay here as my personal guest till that Wing heals." "What?" "Why, Skipper, you're as noble as you are handsome." "Guilty on both counts." "Skipper, I'm not sure this is the Wisest idea." "Really?" "how so?" "Kitka, may I ask What your usual diet consists of?" "Mostly smaller birds." "And sometimes the delicious, little, furry animals." "Why?" "All hail King Julien" "His name is Julien" "It's pro..." "Predator!" "Quick, Maurice, activate the falcon shield." "Right away, Your Highness." "What's With Sad Eyes?" " Barbecue sauce?" " I'm yummy With corn bread." "If you still have room for dessert, you can eat this dumpy one, too." " He Would not mind." " Say, What?" "Whoa, there, Ringtail." "Miss Kitka is my guest." "She's not eating anybody." "Tell 'em, dollface." "Really?" "OK." "For you, Skipper, my sweet, I Will resist feeding on the zoo's delicious, helpless, perfectly bite-sized..." "I got sampled!" "She called me her "sweet."" "Penguin boy wasn't lookin' for love" "Falcon girl predator from above" "He's into danger Oh, the jobs that he's done" "She'd like his neighbors served up hot on a bun" "But what's this feeling That's got 'em both reeling?" "It's stranger than digesting a dove lt'll be a week to remember" "As long as no one's dismembered" "The greatest danger" "Is love" "The greatest danger" "Is love" "Why, Miss Kitka, is that our hollow bone structure, or are We dancing on air?" "Skipper, hasn't Kitka's behavior seemed strange to you this Week?" "Strangely attractive or strangely compelling?" "Actually, I believe Private meant "strange"" "in the "Oh, sweet mercy, We are all going to be ripped to shreds and swallowed into a churning cauldron of digestive juices" sort of Way." "You boys just haven't gotten to know Miss Kitka like I have." "The lady is a rare flower, With razor-sharp talons and a beak that could punch a hole through battleship steel." "What in the name of cupid's crossbow?" "That's a big bird." "A big, big bird." "I saw the bird." "The bird Was big." "It Was a big bird." "It Was a big bird!" "Would you 86 the freaky-deakies?" "What happened to Ringtail?" "What happened?" "Your girlfriend happened!" "I Woke up to a falcon sWooping off With King Julien toward midtown!" "Kitka's nest is in midtown!" "The Consolidated Amalgamated Building." "Yes, but Miss Kitka is recovering from a broken Wing." " The lady can't fly." " Skipper?" "Falcon feathers." "It appears she's made a full recovery." "I..." "I guess it's clear What's happened here, boys." "Obviously, some sick puppy has framed Miss Kitka." "To the Consolidated Amalgamated Building!" " It's locked, Skipper!" " Blast!" "Looks like We have to reach the top old-school." "Boys, We're gonna scale this skyscraper even if it takes us days to reach the summit." "Actually, I think the doors open in half an hour." "No time!" "The Weather's turned south, Skipper." "I don't know how much more the men can take." "Rico is already showing signs of altitude sickness." "Avalanche!" "And there goes the rest of our food supply." "I'm afraid We may have to scuttle this mission, Skipper." "Negative." "The stakes are too high." "I'm With Skipper." "There's no Way I'm letting King Julien Wind up as falcon food." "That's right." "If Ringtail goes," "We lose the only Witness that can clear Miss Kitka's good name." " What?" " Help!" "I am being chased by a hungry falcon Who Wants to eat me!" "Boy, are We gonna laugh When We hear the explanation for that one." " Your Majesty!" " I just Want my blanky." " Can I please have my blanky?" " There." "You see?" "No sign of Miss Kitka." "I trust you'll all be withdrawing your slanderous accusations immediately." "Hey, What do you know?" "She is all better." "Good for her." "I know you've been blinded by love, Skipper." "But you must see now that your lady friend is a vicious, savage shredding machine Who's trying to save us, oh, from another falcon." "Yes, of course." "Why else Would the Kitka lady come to my rescue after the boy falcon sWooped and snatched at me?" "Silly penguin." "Miss Kitka!" " Boy, that hurts." " Nice technique." "Was that a Romanian Tangler I saw in the middle of that dogfight?" "It's like you look straight into my violent soul." "Skipper?" "Right." "You rest easy, my feathered fury." "We'll take it from here." "Action time, boys." "I'm a carnival!" "It's no good." "That falcon is in his element." "Rico, I need to take this fight to the skies." "I can't Watch." "OK, then I Will describe it for you in really boss sound effects." "Check it out." "I'm a penguin falling to my death!" "No, no, no." "I Was just practicing that last one in case I need it later on." "But I got you, though, didn't I?" "You Will never sully the name of Miss Kitka again." "You hear about Frank?" "We are cheering together!" "I could really make a habit out of saving you, Miss Kitka." "Trying to kiss, but I got no lips." "Peck, a love peck." "No, no, Wait." "I'm getting good at this pecking." "Well, I hope you've all learned something about not judging others." "Miss Kitka is clearly a fine, non-zoo-animal-eating citizen." "That's right." "I only ate one squirrel, and he Wasn't even from the zoo." "Excuse me a sec." "It's a nice flight, but the snacks in there are terrible." "I think We should see other people." "Hit it!" "Come on, yeah, dance" "Cute and cuddly, boys." "Private, status report." "No sign of the enemy, Skipper, and the objective is still there." "Outstanding." "Move out." "Rico, enemy spotted..." "and they're nearing the objective." "I think We can secure the flag Without lethal force." "Private!" "Go for the split." "No!" "Does this look like I'm becoming sick to you?" "A little yelloW-greenish, maybe?" "Look at it." "Oh, you are sick." "It's a flag, Ringtail." "As in:" "Capture the Flag." " Capture the Who-What?" " Capture the Flag!" " It's a game." " A training exercise." "For elite forces, AKA not you." "Who is more elite than me?" "I shall play this flag-capturing game!" "And When I say "play", of course I mean Win!" "Negative." "No civvies allowed." "Oh, I see." "Are you a penguin or a chicken?" "This calls for harsh mocking." "I am still maWk-maWk-maWking." "Well done, boys." "All right, you Win, but now you're gonna lose." "now, the object of the training exercise is simplicity itself." "The first team to capture this Wins." "Done!" "Where are my prizes now?" " It's not that simple." " Prizes!" "Prizes!" " Tell me about the prizes!" " If by some statistically remote chance you do Win, the rewards are respect and glory." " And a little swagger in your step!" " These prizes sound cheap." "As your king, I already own glory and respect." "Don't I?" " Glorify!" " Respectify!" "See?" "But not a TV." "Yes, long have I been Wanting a box With tiny shouting people inside." "And you'll put up?" "Is he housebroken?" "All right." "Deal." " Target sighted." " Skipper?" "What if We lose the TV?" "Not possible, Private." "Those lemurs don't have the skills." "Yes, but they do have the flag." "I Win!" "Prizes, prizes!" "I get the prizes!" "Yes, this Will go nicely in my breakfast nook." "Goodbye, telly, old chum." "Buck up, men." "We may have lost the battle..." " And the telly." " And that." "But not the War, right?" "Do I hear a rematch in the remaking?" "That Was beginner's luck." "We go again!" "I do like possessing your possessions." "When I Win, this hi-fi Will be my-fi!" "We'll see about that." "Actions speak louder than Words." "And this speaks louder than actions!" "OK, lemur." "Let's play!" "Package is ready for pick-up." "Smoked salmon!" "I like Winning." "It's good." "It suits me." "Like losing suits them." "The loser penguins." "It just doesn't compute!" "No land mammal should be able to move that fast!" "I'll take that." "The Whole World's gone topsy-turvy." "So it's up to us to make turvy topsy again." "I'm not sure that's even possible, Skipper." "We Want a rematch!" "Dan from San Diego is going for the $50,000." " Foolishly, if you ask me." " now!" " Loser say What?" " now!" "Oh, hello!" "You penguins are so pokey slow!" "Rematch!" " new crown!" "You like?" " Rematch!" "Peek-a-boo, I see you..." "losing!" "Rematch, rematch, rematch!" "Pay upwards, losers." "From now on, I name you..." "Carlotta!" "Talk to me, baby." " Let it go, man!" " Keep it together, Rico!" "Thanks to you!" "When you have more goodies for me, I Will be happy to shamify you again!" " Shame!" " Mort, high five!" "No, higher." "Higher still." "Is that all you got, really?" "Fine." "low five then." " This stinks." " Perhaps We could blow something up?" "A powerful explosion Would turn that frown upside down!" "Nothing left... even inside Rico." "The good news?" "We have nothing left to lose." "You know, it Was enough they had to beat us," "Why'd they have to stoop to name-calling? "Flightless?" That hurt." "Flightless." "Flightless!" "That's it!" " KoWalski, What'd you say earlier?" " This stinks?" " Before that." " Mama, I made boom-boom?" " Too far back." " No land mammal should be able" " to move that fast?" " Bingo!" "Lemurs don't travel by land." " They travel by... tree!" " Head of the class, KoWalski!" "While We carried out land-based operations, our lemur foes were gliding right over our heads." "We never stood a chance because We Were playing the Wrong game." "It's as if life has meaning again!" "But, Wait, We know how they beat us." "But We don't know how to beat them." "Look to the sky, boys." "Look to the sky." "Did you pay too much for auto insurance?" " It is very possible." "Tell me more." " With our new..." "Mort, no slacking!" "how am I to know if I have auto-paid too much?" "It's one, and two, and one, and..." "Yes!" "Yes!" " Do it Maurice!" " Lemur!" "One last game." "All or nothing." "But I have the all and you have the nothing, so... how does that Work?" "KoWalski, options!" "Sorry, Skipper." "We lost my options clipboard two nights ago." "Righty-o." "Maurice, options!" "They could swear their undying loyalty to you." "Groveling, obeying, and combing the knots out of my tail?" "That'd be the idea." "I likie!" "We accept those terms." "The enemy is on the move, Skipper." "Gentlemen, commence shaking." "now light these candles!" "I'm flying." "I'm fly..." "What is it, Private?" "Spit it out." " Yes, sir." " Oh, a bug." "Those silly-billy penguins cannot be beating me." "It is unpossible!" "Think again, lemur!" "The "unpossible" just became possible!" "The flightless birds!" " They..." "They..." " They're flying!" "Terror from above!" "Terror!" "No!" "Game, set and match!" "So When he said all or nothing..." "He really meant all." "Victory is sweetest When you've tasted defeat, eh, Skipper?" "Victory is sweetest on the lemur's bouncy!" "Hit it!" "Come on, yeah, dance" "Cute and cuddly, boys." " Hey, guys!" " Marlene." "You really have to say something before you burst in on us like that." "Lucky We didn't set off our habitat's new defense grid!" "Tear gas, blow darts, land mines, the Whole enchilada." "Isn't all that a little severe?" "Is it?" "One of these days you're gonna learn that there's only" " one universal language:" "Force." " And math." " Right." "Force and math." " Music, also." "Force, math and music" " are really the only..." " Laughter?" "The point is, We speak fluent force around here." "And We feel safer knowing that no one, and I mean no one, can get into our lair." "I like hoppy frogs and belly flops" "Not big meanies and special ops" "Hi, how are ya?" "Roger!" "how could you possibly get through my defense grid?" "Me?" "Oh, I just let myself in through the front door, over there." "Well then, according to the security protocol you are either an enemy agent or our guest." "Are you sure it's no bother if I hang out here for a While?" "Well, actually We might..." " Make yourself right at home." " Home..." "That's my problem." "Take everything that ain't nailed down." "Then take the nailed stuff, too!" "I estimate the target to be approximately 17 miles..." "Make that 17 feet." "First, they call me names." "Then they start taking my lunch." " And now..." " now they've taken your home, and that ain't gonna fly." "But I tried everything!" "I tried being nice, I tried baking 'em muffins." "Good point, Rico." "Have you tried hammering them until they run crying to their little rat mommas?" " That sounds kind of violent." " If it's done properly." "I dunno, guys." "I don't think I'm comfortable With you actually hurting anyone." "Oh, don't Worry." "We're not gonna hurt anybody." " You are." " What?" "Go on, show 'em that vicious primeval instinct." " But I'm not sure I have one of those." " What do you think these claws are for?" " What about these teeth?" " They come in handy for arts and crafts, scrapbooking..." "Look at yourself, man!" "You're an alligator!" "A prehistoric killing machine!" "Those are just rodents!" "now all you have to do is let nature take its course." "Say it!" "Let nature take its course." "Let nature take its course." "Let nature take its course." "Gentlemen, I feel..." "how 'bout you take a course in this?" "And this!" "how 'bout these?" "And those right there!" "And how 'bout over here?" "And right behind your ear!" "Nature can be cruel, gentlemen." "Well, fear not, Roger." "We Will mold you into an instrument of destruction and mayhem." "In order to coach you, I need to know What I'm dealing With." "Take Rico, for example." "He's clearly a World class psychopath." "So We just kind of took that ball and ran With it." " We can use any talent you have." " Well, there is one thing, but I don't think it's gonna be very helpful." "Nonsense!" "Anything you say Will be helpful." "Anything." "I've always dreamt of being a singer." "When you hear the night's last flush" "Then, my dear, it's time to hush" "One or two, either number" "Says to you, peaceful slumber" "Feel the drench from the broken pipe" "Oh, that stench, it's..." "OK." "You know how I just said that anything you say Will be helpful?" "Well, I Was Wrong." "Rico... nap time's over." "I think We just have to let Roger be Roger, Skipper." "There's nothing We can do to change Who he is inside." "You're right, Private." "It's not like We can just take Rico's berserker rage and drop it into Roger." "Can We?" "A mind-sWitching machine?" "Is this gonna hurt?" "Just a little pinch, followed by the brief sensation of a thousand suns exploding in your skull." "Do I get a lollypop?" "I don't know, Skipper." "Couldn't We just accept Roger for Who he is?" "You're an idealist, Private." "We are now go to switch the minds of Roger and Rico using this" " seventeen-speed kitchen blender." " So after Rico trounces the rats inside Roger's body, We switch them back?" "Exactly." "It's 100 percent foolproof." "More accurately, it is 2.7 percent foolproof." "There's a 97.3 percent chance that this Will backfire and result in an abomination that Will be an affront to the most elemental laws of nature and the universe." "I like those odds." "switching from grind to chop." "now grate, cream, mince." " Beat, Whip, crushed ice." " Really?" "That's a handy feature." "Shred, liquefy, purée." " Rico!" "Talk to me!" " No, it's me, Roger." " Roger?" " Roger!" " It Worked!" " We did it!" "Skipper?" "If that's Roger, then Where is Rico?" "Just take it easy there, Roger." "Can I call you Rog?" "Where are those delish muffins of yours?" "WoW." "I can't believe I'm doing all this." "I have such guilt." "But you have to remember, Roger, that isn't really you." "Still, I really can't stand violence of any..." "What am I doing With all this horrible stuff!" "This is terrible!" "No, Roger." "You have to remember, this isn't really you." "I thought you said that Wasn't really him." " Well, I..." " Pick a lane here, Private." "Would somebody here please tell me Which one really isn't me?" "Does it even matter?" "He or you now has his or your home back." "Mission accomplished, no harm done." "That may not be entirely accurate, Skipper." "I failed to take into account the Warm blood/cold blood differential in their physiologies." "It might cause Rico's aggression levels to spike to dangerously high..." "Stand down, Rico." "Rico?" "Rico!" "Rico's never disobeyed an order before." "Not even the time I forced him to suck the cobra venom out of my left buttock." "He's heading into the city!" "We have to stop him, me, it, that thing." "Get him!" "The target is two inches away and closing fast!" "Private, get those Wires ready." "KoWalski, stand by to re-sWitch brains." " And Rico..." " No..." "I'm Roger." "Right." "Never mind." "But, Skipper, I can help!" "I can!" "I Want to!" "Just tell me What to do!" "Just tell me What to..." "You're just not cut out for this kind of action." "You better sit this one out." "now, boys!" "Don't test me, Rico." "If I have to take out one of my oWn, I'll do it." "Just ask Manfredi and Johns..." "Stop!" "Rico!" "Bad gator!" "Bad gator!" " When you hear the night's last flush" " That voice!" " That angelic voice." " Then, my dear, it's time to hush" "One or two, either number" "Says to you, peaceful slumber" "Feel the drench from the broken pipe" "Oh, that stench, it's mighty ripe" "So swat the flies, close your eyes" "Drift off to my stinky lullaby" "Soldier, you can share a foxhole With me any time." "Thanks, guys." "I feel like I could cry." "Do penguins cry?" "'Cause I..." "We should probably get these two back into their proper bodies." "My car!" "OK, people, from the top." "A one, a two, a three..." "I like hoppy frogs and belly flops" "Belly flops" "Not big meanies and special ops" "Lolly, lolly, lollypops" "Not karate- ate chops" "Lollypops" "Hit it!" "Come on, yeah, dance" "Cute and cuddly, boys." "OK, boys, aquatic combat drill." "We dive in three, two..." "Skipper, We have company." "Pardon me, ma'am, but We're about to do our training exercises." "Please, We can't go back to our pond." "It's not safe." " There's a mean fish there." " Fish?" "A monster fish." "It devours everything in its path With its horrible, hideous jaws." "The Way I see it, We go in tWo-man teams, me on point." "We target the hostile With C-4 explosives, and..." "And nothing." "You leave this to the professionals." "Mama's right, little Eggy." "We got this one in the bag." "Come on, boys." "We're going fishing." "Silly ducks." "Birds eat fish, not the other Way around." "So true." "I think I've caught something." " He's a big one." " Reel it in, young private." "Nice and easy." " That's it?" " We do that 20 more times," "We might have enough for lunch." "Grab hold, men!" "Teeth." "So many sharp, jagged teeth." "It Was those black, soulless eyes that got me." "Rico, get a load of these two yelloWbellies." "Yeah!" "You're not scared, too, are you?" "Come on!" "It Was just a fish." "Not just any fish, Skipper, the snakehead trout." "It's an invasive species that devours everything in its path, leaving nothing but despair and tragedy in its Wake." "It's... a... fish." "We... eat... fish." "Yes, but this unholy beast flips the very order of nature." "It's as if our dinner is having us for dinner." "I understand, men." "Do me a favor, line up right here." "Snap out of it!" "now, look, I need options." "Let's hear 'em." "No, We're not running away." "I have an idea, but I'm not sure how safe it is." "I like it already." "Well, Skipper, she's ready." "Outstanding, KoWalski." "I've been John Paul Jonesing for a nautical adventure." "OK." "how do We get it out of here?" "My peoples, rejoice!" "Your king has arrived." "Ringtail, What are you doing here?" "Kingly duties." "You know, christen boats, abuse power, kiss babies." "Feathery." "now the boat." "Maurice, bottle me." "By the powers invested in me, by me," "I christen thee King Julien II." "That's fancy talk for "two."" "Easy, now." "The carbonation content of that bottle is under extreme pressure." "It could explode." "That... is... the... idea." "Why is it not exploding?" "Look, We're on a schedule here, so if you..." "No, Wait, I can get this." "I know this." "I got it." "Ringtail!" "Tell you What, take the bottle." "Maybe you'll get thirsty." "Who knows?" "All right, men." "Let's launch." "Be careful!" "I'll keep an eye on the home front, sir." "I'm taking your TV if you don't make it back." "Skipper's log:" "crew nervous, edgy, gripped by the icy fingers of fear." "They may be planning a mutiny." "Status report, Private." "Nothing on the scope, Skipper." "Maybe it's not here anymore." "Maybe it got swallowed by an enormous pelican." "Or maybe it spontaneously evolved, grew legs, and Walked clear to another pond." "Yep!" "The smart money's on that theory." " Let's go home." " No, he's here." "I can feel it." " Look!" " It's the snakehead." "All right, men." "Steady as she goes." " Ready all..." " Fire everything!" " Did I say fire all Weapons?" " No." "But We could see Where you Were going With it." "Skipper!" "We hit it!" "Hot cocoa!" "A direct hit." "Bring her about, Rico." "Let's get a look at the beast." "Sorry." "On that scope, they all look the same." "All right, then." "Just this once, I'm going to fudge the Whole incident in my report." "Skipper's log." "The crew is performing spectacularly and not at all like a bunch of nancy-cats." "Rico, full reverse." "All engines, stop." "We seem to be tethered to the tire." "Dandy." "Someone's going to have to go out there and untether us." "WoW, I'm really behind on my navigation charts." "We could be feet off-course." "Shame on me." "Oh... nothing on the scope, Skipper." "But, you know, that could change at any moment." "Fine." "I'll do it, you nancy-cats." " OK, if you insist." " Either one Works." " I'm ashamed." " Me too." "Not so ashamed I'd go out there, but..." "Gosh, no." "Look at Skipper." "He's not gripped by crippling fear." "Behind you!" "Skipper!" "The snakehead, it's... it's gone." "And so is..." "Skipper." "KoWalski's log..." "What?" "Too soon?" " Go on." " Skipper is... gone." "We are left to carry on for him." "And the best Way We can do that is to gut that snakehead like the fish it is." " Yeah!" " Yeah!" "Yeah!" "So... anybody know Where he is?" "This thing isn't making any pinging noises at all." "He's gone into hiding." "We need to lure him out." "Any ideas?" "I've got a ping." "Mr. Rico, lock on, and full speed ahead." "Steady, steady." "now... fire all Weapons." "KoWalski?" "We already did that." "Oh, right." "Evasive maneuvers." "Full speed get-us-out-of-here!" "Either an old tire or the snakehead is right on our tail!" "No more running." "Rico, hard to port." "Bring us about." "We're taking that scaly scalaWag down." " Did We get it?" " Unquestionably." "No fish could Withstand a head-on impact of that force." "Then Skipper can rest in peace." "Oh, come on, now!" "Birds eat fish, not the other Way around!" "Skipper, you're alive!" "Of course I am." "Come on." "Though I gotta admit, this fish is putting up one heck of a..." " The soda bottle!" " Skipper!" "Catch!" "Much obliged." "Give it a moment." "Mama Duck, I pronounce this pond fearsome-fish free." "Thank you." "But Where did the snakehead go?" "Oh, Mama Duck, We don't have to Worry about him anymore." "Sushi?" "Hit it!" "Come on, yeah, dance" "Cute and cuddly, boys." "It's a... classic!" " All right, then, Skipper?" " At ease, Private." "I Was laughing at a little joke in the mission files." " Is it a funny one?" " Oh, yeah." " Can I see it, then?" " Classified." "What's classified?" "Classic!" "What?" "Why does KoWalski get to see it?" "Well, he's got top secret clearance." "We can't go showing our classified material to just anybody." "Rico, you gotta see this!" " A classic!" " Rico too?" "how's that fair?" "Sorry, Private." "But some files are too private for a private." "Well, then perhaps it's time I got a promotion." " Let the promotion test begin." " What test?" "Tonight, you go mano a mano" "With the most fearsome beast in the concrete jungle." " A badger?" " Exactly." "What?" "No, not a badger." "It's a secret, OK?" "A mysterious and deadly secret." "He doesn't know What he's saying." "Give the boy a chance to back out." "There are no take-backs in this unit." "Rico, hit the snooze." "Stay frosty, Private." "The mystery beast can smell your fear." "So can I." "That is fear, right?" "And I'm supposed to fight this secret beast taped to a dumpster, am I?" "No, Rico just thought that Would be fun." " What's this?" " The Concrete Jungle Survival Guide." "Audio book version." "So you're about to face a beast more horrible than your worst nightmare." "Congratulations, random listener." "Let's work on that." "Wait." "Does this mean you're not coming With me?" "Well, this is your promotion test, Private." "No backup." "No supplies." "You don't even get to know Where you are." "I know Where We are." "I drawed a map on the Way." "You did not." "That's a kiddie menu you found in the gutter." "I live in the hamburger." "What in the name of Custer's muster?" "Oh, yes, We're here for the camping-out party." "I got my booty all Warmed up for the banjo sing-along campfire dancing." "Check it out." "Yeah." "Yeah, keep checking." " This ain't no campout, Ringtail." " Yeah?" "Then how come you got a fireplug poncho and a dress made out of artsy-craft supplies?" "Hey!" "This is standard-issue urban jungle camouflage." "So, Who Wants to sing the "Kumbayas" till the sun comes up?" "No "Kumbayas." This is penguin versus nature." "Private's lucky if he lives to see another sunrise." " Sorry?" " It's a rite of passage, Private." "If everybody survived, it Would be a..." "KoWalski, clever turn of phrase options?" "A Wrong of passage." "Fine." "See if I care." "But you Will miss some happy camping, my friend." "TWenty-seven minutes to midnight, Private." "You'd better play that tape before the beast goes on the prowl." "Less than half an hour?" "how am I supposed to?" "Key one to defeating the beast:" "Surveillance." "Binoculars, anything to track your enemy's movements." "Instant telescope." "Thank you, dumpy penguin." "You see, Mort, in camping, you can build a fire" "With nothing but a... pirate looky tube." "Don't you need sunlight for that?" "Why Would I need sunlight to do this?" "Make fire now, you looky tube!" "This one's defective." "Key two: camouflage." "If the beast can't see you, he can't hurt you." "OK, how did Rico make his newspaper disguise?" "Artsy-craft supplies!" "What are you doing?" "Check it out." "King Julien crossing the delaware..." "Avenue, right?" "Key three: weapons." "You need some." "Well, obviously!" "It's a Whip." "Or I could make a bow and arrow." "Banjo string!" "Julien is the king of the ocean" "Stay on key, Mort." "Will you stop that?" "I need that string!" "It's nearly midnight, and I've got to face some horrible..." "Private!" "This is how you prepare for the fight of your life?" "No!" "I Wasn't!" "KoWalski, commandeer that banjo." "Ready or not, Private, it's time to meet the enemy." "And since you like banjo music so much," "We're gonna do it... in song." "Pull up a seat and set a spell" "While this spooky tale I relate" "About the meanest mess of steel and wheels man ever did create" "The bus called Graveyard Eight" "The bus called Graveyard Eight" "Runs midnight to dawn No driver inside" "It's fueled by evil incarnate" "Never slowing down as it prowls the town" "Plowing animals down to their fate" "Better run from Graveyard Eight" "Better run from Graveyard Eight Look out!" "So hear and fear and keep the kids clear" "Of this express to the pearly gates" "It got two of my uncles and six of my cousins, and they Were all from upstate." "True story." "The bus called Graveyard Eight" "So... the bus is haunted, and you Want me to fight it." "A bus?" "And come home With a nifty souvenir to prove it." "That'll put some feathers on your chest!" "I don't think I care about that classified joke anymore." "Good hunting, Private." "If all goes Well, We'll see you alive at dawn." "Of course, With the pre-mentioned souvenir in hand." "And if not, Well..." "You'll be..." "You'll be fine." "But I'm not ready!" "Any more advice, Survival Guide audio book?" "This recording will self-destruct right now." "Good luck." "Here, bus." "Here, bussy, bussy." "Please be a nice haunted bus." "I caught a Wall!" "What are you doing in the street?" "Obviously, We are seWer-fishing." " But the Graveyard Eight." " Grape jar..." "What now?" "The haunted bus that runs over animals." "Never heard of it." "Perhaps if you gave it a catchy jingle, or perhaps a theme song." "Look out!" " I'm in my fishing zone." " Really?" "'Cause I'm not catching jack-a-doodley With this Worthless fish stick." "I have caught something!" "No, this is your test, Private." "Yes!" " Help!" " Hang on." "I think I can get you free." "No, no." "I know this camp-time activity." "Only Way to untangle is to Work as a team." "So everybody shut it and I Will be the team." "The foot is in my face." " I did it!" " Goody for you." "We just need something to cut the line." "Just hang on." "I'll be back." "Fifth Avenue, Washington Square." " No driver." " I know." "Spooky, right?" "I thought this Was Where We steal the other camp's mascot." "What?" "!" "Are you completely?" "!" "We are not camping!" "Somebody's Working on his Sourpuss Grumpy Grouch Activity Patch." "It's you, by the Way." "Just find something sharp and pointy to cut the fishing line." "Sharp, pointy." "Perfect!" "Lucky day!" "I found us something sharp and pointy." "I Win!" "We have to hurry, Julien, before the Graveyard Eight claims Maurice and Mort forever." "And yet here you are talking, talking, talking and doing nothing, nothing, nothing." "Well, there's still one part of the bus I haven't searched yet." "Seventh Avenue." "No pets on the bus." "Again!" "Again!" "Sharp and pointy." " Come on!" " I love camping!" "Jump!" "Hooray for the private!" " Amazing!" " Yeah, that Was pretty good." "KoWalski, promotion analysis." "Private risked his own safety to free helpless captives from a demonic bus." "That's plus 17 points." "They Were all lemurs." "Minus 20." "But he did bring back one primo souvenir." "Well, congratulations, young private." "You've been promoted to private first class." "Way to go!" "Of course, We'll still call you Private." "First class is implied." "Enjoy your classified joke access." "Yeah, I don't get it." "Hit it!" "Come on, yeah, dance" "Cute and cuddly, boys." "No!" "Stop!" "Wait!" "Relax, Marlene." "We've had that nest staked out for a Humpty Dumpty scenario since the first day of spring." "This is All the King's Horses calling All the King's Men." "We read you, Skipper." "Loud and clear." "So, let me get this straight." "You guys have been Watching that one nest since the beginning of spring?" "Don't be ridiculous, Marlene." "We've been Watching all of them." "Where I come from, We have a little saying:" ""There's only one Way to do the job:" "My Way the right Way."" "Private, reduce air speed!" "You're coming in too hot!" "I can't!" "No!" "He's heading right for the central Water main!" "Did I make it back in time for tea?" "Rico, plug that up before it starts drawing attention." "I'm afraid it's too late for that, Skipper." "Yeah, looks like a rupture of the central main." "Yeah, the penguin exhibit." "We'll need to tear up the Whole thing to get at the damaged pipe." "What about your secret underground HQ thing?" "If they dig up the habitat, Won't they find?" "Not on my Watch, sister." "So, We're definitely going to have to call in a specialist to..." "What's that?" "You're sending over Gus?" "The Gus?" "Why, yeah, of course I feel better now." "Gus?" "That's all you had to say." " Gus?" " Who's this Gus?" "His name is Gustav "Gus" Babushka." "Age 49, born in St. Petersburg." "Russia, not Florida." "So What do you think?" "Me and the boys Will have to tunnel about four meters straight down." "Great." "how soon can your crew get here?" "No, you misunderstand." "The boys are already here." "Meet the left one and the right one." "We get started first thing in morning." "Apparently, this Gus Won the silver medal in powerlifting at the 1979 Pan Asian Games." "Silver." "Loser." "Anything else?" "He eats the same sandwich for lunch every day:" "Liverwurst." "Liverwurst." "That's all I needed to know." "Liverwurst?" "That's how you're going to stop Gus from doing this job?" "Of course not." "We're going to do it for him." " Rico, are We good to go?" " Yeah, yeah." "Then let's move, boys." "We've got Work to do." "Marlene, you don't mind if We use your place as temporary HQ, do you?" "No, hey, really." " No, make yourselves at home." " Outstanding!" "You Won't even know We're here." "Rico, dive!" "Hello." "Is very strange, like itsy-bitsy elves came in night and... did entire job for us." "Wait, but isn't that going to seem a little suspicious?" "Won't that Gus guy say something?" "I doubt it, not When he sees the little gift We left for him." "And What is this?" "A liverwurst sandwich?" "It's simple human psychology, Marlene." "Humans are, by nature, lazy bums." "They love it When itsy-bitsy elves do their Work." "Amazing Work, Gus." "I suppose I'm going to have to give you a little bonus" " for finishing the job so fast." " No." " What?" " I can not accept this money." "Or this sandwich." "But What's the problem?" "Yeah, What's the problem?" "Back in Murmansk, We have saying:" ""There is only one Way to do job:" "The right Way."" "Me and my boys Will come back tomorrow and do the Whole thing over again." "On second thought, I Will accept sandwich." "My boys need their strength." "This shows Gus' digging progress thus far." "If he continues at his current trajectory, he'll miss hitting the underground command center entirely." "OK, so that's good, right?" "Well, not really, no." "It means that he's heading right down towards this yellow zone over here." "But that means he'll breach our top secret anti-matter fusion reactor core." "Wait, you guys have a top secret anti-matter fusion Whatsit down there?" "Why, no, I..." "Why do you ask?" "OK, What happens if he breaches this top secret reactor core that you don't have?" "Nobody knows for certain." "It's all abstract theoretical physics." "I could outline the basic best and Worst case scenarios." " Sure, let's hear 'em." " OK." "Rupturing the lining of the reactor chamber could theoretically trigger a subatomic explosion so intense that it Would rip open the very fabric of time and space." "WoW, that's..." "OK, and What's the best case scenario?" "Well, that." "That Was it." "Did you hear that guy?" ""There's only one Way to do a job:" "The right Way."" "I mean, Who talks like that?" "It does sound vaguely familiar." "That Gus character is arrogant, stubborn, pigheaded." " It's like..." "like..." " Like looking in a mirror?" "You take that back, Marlene." "Skipper here's a thousand times more pigheaded and stubborn than that Gus character Will ever be." "Well, thank you, Private." "And starting tomorrow, I'm gonna prove it." "Right." "Let's see how tough comrade Gustav and his boys are" "Without any heavy equipment." "Well, I guess that's it, boys." "We do it like back in the old country:" "With shovel." "OK, not a problem." "Rico?" "No!" "Not that one!" "Well, boys, nothing We can do now." "Except do the job With our bare hands." "Gentlemen, the time has come for more extreme measures." "We're going to start off With an appetizer:" "Auditory assault." "My ears are angry!" "And if that doesn't Work, We'll serve up a hot main course..." "Hard work and pay not good" "Hard work and pay not good" "And then just desserts:" "Wind!" "Fire!" "Earthquake!" "Plague of snakes!" "Hard work and pay not good" "It's just no use." "Gus and his "boys" are determined to finish the job." "And nothing, repeat, nothing is going to stop them." "My estimates show that he Will break through and breach the reactor chamber first thing in the morning." "Does this eye look Weird?" "Anyone?" "So, Skipper..." "What are We gonna do about Gus?" "Oh, him." "Well, you know, he's... unstoppable." "I've never seen him like this either." "Hey, how about some options?" " Do you have any?" " Not really, no." "Then it's time to execute Operation Embrace Failure." "Face it, gentlemen, this is a game We cannot Win." "And if you can't Win the game, you just have to change the playing field." "Come on, men!" "We've got Work to do." "Oh, no, it's all over." "Gus is gonna hit the top secret reactor core thingy any second now." "Take cover!" "Run for your lives!" "Oh, I can't Watch." "Wait, What?" "We Were..." "I..." "There is nothing down there." "You see, boys?" "This is the only Way to do job:" "The right Way." "Come on." "Liverwurst is on me." "I don't get it." "I mean, What happened to their Whole underground... you know, the ripping open of time and space." "how could they have possibly?" "Maurice?" "Why is reality confusing me?" " The Whole thing's a fake." " It's even better than the real..." "Come on, people." "Let's move With a purpose." "But how on earth did?" "I mean, What?" "It's quite simple, Marlene." "We built a duplicate of the entire zoo overnight." "When Gus and the work crew arrived this morning, we simply diverted them into the decoy zoo." "Where we let him finish the repairs on what he thought was the real penguin habitat." "This is the only Way to do job:" "The right Way." "And you call this simple?" "I call it getting the job done the only Way We know how:" "The right Way, my Way."
