Yeah!

Jeez, you know, I guess that puts the whole "sky is falling" incident behind us once and for all. Hey, kiddo?

You bet, Dad.

I...

Unless you think we need... closure?

Closure? What's to close here?

Unless you think we need to close...

Not me. It's closed!

I agree. Vacuum sealed. Shut tight!

OK, great, Dad. You... Closure, I dunno.

All right. Enough fun.

Good talk. Good talk, son.

Here, I'll give you a push. Rock me a little. Help me.

OK. OK, I'm up.

Hey.

Good night, Ace.

Here's the wind-up... and the pitch!

Whoo-hoo!

Thanks.

Thanks for the chance.

Oh...

No!

A piece of the sky?!

Shaped like a stop sign?! Not again!

Hey! Son! You all right? I'm coming!

I'm coming! I'm comin' upstairs!

What's wrong? Nothing.

You sure? I thought I heard you yell.

No.

Uh, I, uh...

I fell out of bed.

Huh?

How'd you get over there? Over where?

There. There! Where?

How'd you get over there?

Who're we talking about?

Never mind. What's the difference? Look, the past is behind us, right?

Mmm. Tomorrow's gonna be a new day.

Please be gone, please be gone, please be gone...

Good.

Ah!

No.

No.

I gotta call Abby!

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Hello! Mallard residence.

Runt! Quiet! I'm on the phone!

Runt!

Oh...

Hey! Where are you?

We already started. We were... - It opened up!

What?!

All right, guys.

Watch this.

Bizarre.

OK. Lemme guess. You haven't told your dad yet.

Well... I knew it!

Why haven't you told him? There hasn't been

"you, your dad, talk-talk-talking." There was talking.

There was definitely talking. Really? What did he say?

Uh...

What?

All right, that's it. We are doing an intervention!

You have got to stop messing around and deal with the problem!

She's right! Abby, please.

This is exactly what fell on me the first time.

There's no way I'm bringing this up again.

No, he's not. Runt!

Sorry! I'm a gutless flip-flopper.

OK. I'm sure there's a simple, logical explanation.

I mean, it could be a piece of weather balloon, or maybe it's part of some experimental communications satellite.

I don't care. I want it out of my life, gone for good.

Everything back to normal.

Hey, remember when that icy blue stuff fell from the sky?

Everybody thought it was from space and stuff?

And it just turned out to be frozen pee from a jet airplane.

Yeah, that's right. It's frozen pee.

Yeah. It's frozen pee. Pee, pee, pee, pee pee.

Could you stop saying that? What? Pee?

Pee. Tinkle?

Piddle? Wee-wee? Whiz?

OK, subject change.

Make pishee? I don't care what it is!

Are you gonna help me get rid of it or not?

Flying Fish! Take cover!

Fish!

No! Fish!

Aaah!

Come on, come on, come on!

Wait, wait, whoa, son! Where's the fire here?

Chicken Little has something to tell you! Tell him. He can handle it.

Who're we talkin' about?

Uh...

Gotta go, Dad! Bye!

Ha! You got to be ready to listen to your children, even if they have nothing to say.

Sit tight, Fish! Fish! We will try to save you!

Yeah!

I'm sorry! Wait!

Sorry!

Curb! Ay!

Fish!

Abby!

Abby! Wake up!

Come on! Let's get outta here!

Oh, poor Fish!

He's probably stuffed and mounted like an intergalactic trophy or...

...maybe he's a half-living host implanted with their face-hugging embryo babies.

One thing's for sure, man. He's gone!

Gone, man! Not yet!

Oh, snap.

Fish.

Hey! What are you doing? Come on!

Fish.

Fish.

Fish.

Fish.

Where are you, Fish?! Shh!

I can't handle the pressure! Go on without me!

Runt. You're just fine.

I'll jeopardize the mission! Endanger us all!

Throw me overboard while you still have a chance!

Just leave me some ammo, little water, some chips if you have 'em.

Calm. OK, all right. Listen.

Where's your bag? Everything's OK.

Now breathe. Breathe.

No, slowly. Slowly.

Slowly.

OK. Now, just do the thing you do to relax.

Aaah!

Fish!

Fish! Are you OK?

Did they hurt you? Say something!

Don't tap the glass. They hate it when you do that.

All right, let's get out of here. Where's Runt?

We're next.

Run!

OK! That's it!

We're running back to your house. Tell your dad!

OK! You're right, you're right!

Oh, Runt!

Push! Push! No!

Runt! No! Not pull! Push!

We gotta get outta here right now! Come on...

No! Come on, you guys! Hu...

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!

OK, time out!

So... have you been to the mall?

Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy.

I'm sorry.

Tension makes me bloat.

Come on, guys! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Look out!

Thanks! Curse these genetically tiny legs!

Ohh! Aah!

What's that noise?

Sorry. Nervous eater.

Run! Wait! Fish!

The school bell! We've got to ring the school bell to warn everyone!

The school bell! We've got to ring the school bell to warn everyone!

Come on!

Hurry! Hurry!

Go! Go!

Aaah!

It's locked!

They're... they're comin'.

I need a soda.

Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy!

The corner's wrinkled! Why are we doing this?

Come on, take it, take it!

Yes!

Come on! Work! Work!

Work! You work!

What happened? I blacked out there for a second.

Ah!

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

It was just an acorn. A little acorn!

I can't tell you how embarrassed I am, folks.

Ring the bell!

Come on, Chicken Little! Ring the bell!

Huh? What? Oh!

Now the weather with Riz.

A cold front is moving in so...

The alarm bell has been activated! Quick! Get a camera crew!

Chicken Little! You better have a good explanation for this!

There's, there's... It's a... You have to... D'oh! Doo wah!

What did he say?

There's... It's a... You have to... D'oh... Doo wah.

Follow me! Come on! Hurry! Hurry! Aliens here!

Aliens here!

It's... it's happening again.

Come on! Hurry! Hurry!

Come on. Come on. You're about to see it!

Quick! It's taking off!

Come on! If you don't hurry, you're gonna miss it!

Oh, look! A penny!

Guys! Oh, right.

Hurry! Hurry!

Come on! Quick! It's taking off!

Come on! Hurry up! Please! It's right in...

What are we lookin' for?

I don't know.

Uh, yeah. OK. I know this looks bad, but there's an invisible spaceship right there with aliens who are here to invade Earth!

Let me show you.

Ooh, bad throw.

OK, let me try again.

Bad throw. We all know I don't have a good arm, but there's these cloaking panels on the bottom.

They make it disappear. One fell out of the sky and hit me right on the head.

Oh, it's the acorn thing all over again.

Eh, there's no story here.

At least we can sell the video to Chickens Gone Wild.

I'm telling ya, it was here! No, wait! There were aliens!

It's true! They had eyes... They're glowing and then tentacles!

And maps with planets with X's through them! Aah!

Runt, that's enough!

Don't make Mommy take away your Streisand collection!

Mom? You leave Barbra out of this!

Why can't you keep that child of yours under control?

What kind of parent are you?

I'm telling the truth.

Dad! Dad! I'm not making this up!

You gotta believe me this time.

No, son. I don't.

I can't tell you how embarrassed I am, folks.

I'm really sorry about this, everyone.
