April and the Extraordinary World Page #5

If you can think of another

way to stop that house on legs,

my dear, I'm all ears.

But in the meantime, let me

pilot this thing, will you?

So, this is Normandy.

Well, well. No wonder they

all eat fish and mushrooms.

There's no

countryside.

This is depressing.

Be patient.

Just a couple more hours.

Julius?

Yeah?

I know you didn't

have much choice,

but thanks for

helping go find Pops.

Always happy to

be of service.

You are in love!

Isn't there any cat

stuff you could be doing?

Like licking your

bottom or eating rats?

You are in love.

I think you ought to take

that cat's temperature.

He's got a fever and

he's starting to hallucinate.

No time, guys. I've got a little

attack on a fort to get ready for.

My dear

colleagues,

this is not at all

the correct method.

The energy that powers this

device circulates through here.

These cables must be

connected here and there.

Very well,

but for years we've been asking

ourselves, what is this energy?

A phenomenon we've known

about for a long time

but never mastered.

Electricity!

Magnetism,

more likely.

Miraculous!

This mechanism is a masterpiece!

A veritable bouquet

of cables!

We're flooding!

Quick, close the doors! Hurry!

- Hurry!

- Warning! Evacuate!

Sound the alarm! Evacuate!

Everybody!

Get out of here

as fast as you can!

Are you ready?

Let's move on.

Help me! Open up!

Open up!

Hmm.

Here, this one goes on the

bottom and this one on top...

Woo-hoo!

Pops!

Pops!

Idiot! We're going in circles!

Where the heck

is the exit?

I don't know!

Just keep going!

Pops!

Pops!

Pops?

Pops?

April? Oh!

April, you shouldn't have,

it's too dangerous.

Don't mean to interrupt,

but we're a little bit surrounded

by soldiers in a castle

that's about to be flooded.

Just give me

a couple more minutes.

I've come to the point where I

can get this marvel working.

You got a screw loose?

Let's get outta here

and go back to

your motorized shack!

Oh no, my house!

Sorry.

We'll have to find

another way out of here.

Hands in the air!

Next time we won't miss!

Quickly, climb in!

Brace yourselves!

The door's closed.

I'm in control of the

situation, young man.

It's quiet now.

Maybe we should think about

landing this thing, right?

In order to land,

we must first know our position.

We're flying in the middle of

the night with no visibility,

and the guidance instruments

aren't functioning.

Wait... You're saying

we're flying aimlessly

over the sea in this

bucket of bolts?

There's no need to worry.

Automatic pilot.

It works. I must say,

I'm getting the hang of

this thing, aren't I?

If you're so smart,

can you tell us where we are?

Not at all!

We could be flying over the

North Pole or Madagascar!

We'll know better

as soon as I repair this.

The guidance mechanism.

But first,

I'd like to hear some

explanations, young man.

Pizoni, the agent

who arrested me,

had two pieces of information

about me...

That he really

shouldn't have known.

One, my family

nickname. Pops.

Two, where I was going.

The Statue of Napoleon.

I don't know of any reason why

April, Darwin or even myself

would tell the police.

Julius, why did you do it?

You lied to me?

All this time?

You used me, just so you could

turn Pops over to the police?

I had no choice.

It was that or jail!

But I came back, for you!

To say goodbye, right?

You should've

just left!

Get away from me,

I don't want to talk to you!

Pizoni told me that Pops was

gonna work for the Empire

and that he'd be

treated well.

So, I told myself

it wasn't that bad.

But all that was before...

Before you fell in love.

Oh, you were just dumb

at the wrong time.

Thank you.

Ah, there we go.

Now it should work.

Oh, come on, work!

Dear scientists,

welcome aboard.

We are your new masters,

Rodrigue and Chimne.

You are being guided to a

safe haven where your talents

will be appreciated

and put to good use.

All science is most valuable to

us and pleasant surroundings

far away from the follies

of your government.

Like your cruel species, we've

learned that knowledge is power.

Your science will help us

achieve supreme power

through technological

superiority.

The nature of your work

will be explained later.

If you have any illnesses or deformities,

please let us know.

Your diet will be

strictly vegetarian.

In case of airsickness,

please use the vomit bags provided.

We wish you a pleasant flight.

Lizards?

Those lizards took my parents?

I believe,

in actual fact,

they're more veranus

than lizards.

So, where are they?

They're on Airocopter 13.

We can locate and hear them,

but we can't see them.

Airocopter 13 went

down in the storm.

How did they recover it?

It doesn't matter,

the main thing is, we found April.

Get ready for takeoff!

I'll bring back that Airocopter.

No. You're too quick

on the trigger.

Rodrigue,

I will handle this.

Sorry you feel that way.

If you have a better idea on how

to bring April here safely,

I will be at your disposal.

Chimne, never correct me

in front of the children!

Reptiles who can talk...

Like Darwin.

We'll look for

explanations later.

We must find out

where we are.

If only this blasted thing

would start working again.

Dear friends,

thank you for visiting.

April, I look forward to seeing you,

with your serum.

They've taken over

the aircraft!

I can't control it anymore!

Whoa!

Where are you going?

To the hold!

The propulsion isn't working!

I'll try to repair it!

Are you crazy? Stop that!

Stay where you are,

Gramps! I heard everything!

No way I'm gonna be imprisoned

by a bunch of lizards!

I'm stopping this flying

contraption right now!

Mmm, ahh.

Music.

I must admit, it is one of the

rare pleasures created by humans.

Well, Fleming?

You're extremely tense.

It's stress.

You need to take

a vacation.

Rodrigue, we successfully gained

control of the Airocopter.

Congratulations,

my love. And?

We lost the signal.

It must have crashed.

I'm not surprised.

I hope our fugitives

appreciate your methods.

It was stupid to let them

come in on their own!

There must be bits and pieces

of April all over the jungle!

Your anger is puerile.

What would be useful

would be to search the jungle.

Hmm.

Pops?

Pops?

Pops?

Where are we?

Come on, Pizoni,

it's not that bad.

I made it down fine, see.

And I'm old enough to be your father.

I don't care,

I'm not moving!

Hurry! We have to go.

I've got a granddaughter to find.

Why don't they have

stairs on this tree anyway?

Pizoni, close your eyes

and let yourself slide

down this splendid vine.

So this is what those lizards want.

And what'll they do with it?

Eat it. And then

maybe us.

Wow,

these trees are beautiful!

And the plants!

And the air's so clean!

You still hate me?

What is it you

want exactly?

For me to realize we were meant for

each other? We forget everything?

Kiss and make up?

Well, yeah!
