to pull this off.

- We're still going to fly out of here.

- What, what?

Fowler's

provided the answer.

I have?

Uh, yes, yes, yes.

Of course I have.

Uh, how have I?

We'll make...

a crate.

Mac, you'll handle the engineering.

Babs, manufacturing.

Fowler will be

chief aviation advisor.

Bunty, eggs.

- Eggs?

- Eggs.

Right, just like the ones

that rooster was gonna lay.

Only roosters don't lay eggs,

do they?

- Don't they?

- No, it's a lady thing, apparently.

Ask your mum.

One egg for every item on the list.

First payment in advance.

Right! When do we start?

- Come on!

- Hey.

- Oh!

Huh?

What the dickens?

Oh, gnomes now.

- Voila!

- Give me.

Hmm?

Aah!

- Ohh! - All right, here.

Eggs from heaven!

- No! From her bum!

Mmm?

- Idiot!

- That was close.

Too close.

We can't stop now.

Come on, everyone! Go for it!

Really go for it!

Go, go, go, go!

- Mac, we need

those calculations quickly.

- Uh-huh.

Agnes, that has to be

really secure.

- Careful up there, Fowler!

- Roger!

Bunty,

give him a hand.

Well done, Babs.

Keep it up.

No problem, doll face.

Oh, I'm the type of guy

That likes

to roam around

I'm never in one place

I roam from town to town

And when I found myself

fallin' for some girl

I'd hop

right in that car...

And travel 'round the world

'Cause I'm a wanderer

Yeah

A wanderer

I roam around and 'round

Around and 'round

'Cause

I'm a wanderer

Yeah, a wanderer

Oh, boy.

I roam around and 'round

Around and 'round, around

Come on.

Please.

Oh, no.

He's fixed it.

- Get the chickens.

Which ones?

All of them.

Me tools!

Why, you thieving

little buggers!

What's the plan?

- Attack!

- Huh?

Nice plan.

- Mrs. Tweedy!

Aaaah!

Mrs. Tweedy!

The chickens

are revolting!

Finally,

something we agree on.

Help! Mrs...

Mmm... Mmm?

Under the hut.

- Come on!

- What have we done?

- This is it, everyone.

We're escaping.

- What, now?

- Now!

- But, Ginger, she's not ready.

- Listen.

We'll either die free chickens

or die trying.

Are those

the only choices?

- Let's do it.

- Scramble!

This way!

Mrs. Tweedy!

The exits are located

here and here.

In the quite likely event

of an emergency,

put your head

between your knees and...

Kiss your bum good-bye.

All right, Fowler,

ready for takeoff.

Behind you

all the way.

But you're

supposed to be up there.

You're the pilot.

- Oh, don't be ridiculous.

I can't fly this contraption.

Back in your day...

the Royal Air Force...

poultry division.

We were the mascots.

You mean you never

actually flew the plane?

Good heavens, no.

- I'm a chicken.

The Royal Air Force doesn't

let chickens behind the controls

of a complex aircraft.

- We're all gonna die!

Fowler,

you have to fly it.

You're always talking about back

in your day. Well, today is your day.

You can do it,

you old sausage.

Wing Commander

T.I. Fowler...

reporting for duty.

Well, come on.

What are you waiting for?

We haven't got all day.

Let's get this crate off the ground.

Fowler! Now!

Roger! Contact!

Cleared for takeoff!

Chocks away!

Chocks away!

Whoa!

- Full throttle!

- Full throttle!

We need more power!

I cannot work miracles, Cap'n!

We're givin' her all she's got!

- Gotcha!

- Hard right!

Oh, mother!

Turn her around.

I'll get the ramp.

Aaah!

- Put the ramp down.

You are going to be

a pie!

Ginger!

Rocky!

Heads up!

- Look out!

- Aah!

- Clear the runway!

Ginger! Let's go!

- We're flying!

- Aah!

- That's for leaving.

Eew.

And this

is for coming back.

- Whoa!

- Uhh!

- Great Scot! What was that?

A cling-on, Cap'n!

And the engines can't take it!

Oh, goodness.

Babs! Scissors!

Bingo.

Lower me down.

- But, Ginger, l...

- Just do it.

Increase velocity!

- What does that mean?

- It means pedal

your flippin' giblets out!

- Lower!

- I'm trying!

- Aah!

- Aaah!

- Fowler, look out!

- Whoa!

- Oh! Ginger!

Fire! Fire!

- Me eggs.

No!

Blea-aah!

More ammo!

Hurry!

- We got no more eggs!

- Ginger!

Look out!

No!

- Huh?

- Bye-bye.

- Aaah!

- Bombs away!

- Mr. Tweedy!

Oh, that was good.

That was good!

The old bird bought it!

Mrs. Tweedy!

Mrs. Twee...

- Whoa!

I told you

they was organized.

We did it, everyone!

Ha, ha, ha, ha...

Aww!

- Whoa!

Keep peddling! We're not there yet!

You can't see paradise

if you don't pedal!

Put your drumsticks

into it!

Put your drumsticks

into it!

That's what I told him,

what, what.

We were losing altitude, you see,

and heading for a fearful prang.

This is a lovely holiday.

I'll be sad to go back.

Safety at all times

is imperative.

Now,

wind 'er up and...

- Whee!

- Let 'er go!

- So...

is it as good

as you imagined?

- No.

- It's better.

- Come on. I'll show you

how to play cricket.

'Ey, 'ey, here's a thought.

Why don't we get an egg

and start our own chicken farm?

That way we'll have

all the eggs we could eat.

Right.

We'll need a chicken then.

No.

No, we'll need an egg.

You have the egg first.

That's where you get the chicken from.

No, that's cobblers. If you don't have

a chicken, where you gonna get an egg?

From the chicken

that comes from the egg.

Yeah, but you have to have

an egg to have a chicken.

Yeah, but you gotta get

the chicken first to get the egg,

and then the egg...

you get the chicken out.

Hang on.

Let's go over this again.

All right.

Yeah.

When I get the blues

gon'get me a rockin' chair

When I get the blues

gon'get me a rockin' chair

When the blues overtake me

Gonna rock on away from here

Ohh

Here comes my baby

flashin' a new gold tooth

Here comes my baby

flashin' a new gold tooth

Yeah, she's so small

She can rumba

in a pay phone booth

That's the truth.

Ha-ha!

Flip, flop, fly

I don't care if I die

Flip, flop, fly

I don't care if I die

Don't ever leave me

Don't ever say good-bye

Yeow!

Now, give me one more kiss

And hold it

a long, long time

Give me one more kiss

And hold it

a long, long time

Love me, baby, till the feelin'

hits my head like wine

So fine

So glad you're mine

Flip, flop, fly

I don't care if I die

Flip, flop, fly

I don't care if I die

Don't ever leave me

Don't ever say good-bye

Don't ever leave me

Don't ever say good-bye

- Bye-bye, bye-bye

- Ohh

Don't ever leave me

Don't ever say good-bye

Yeah!

Bye-bye!

The egg, obviously.

Rollin' along,

happy as Larry.

Then, crack!

Hatches into the first chicken.

Yeah, but where'd

the egg come from, then?

What do you mean,

where'd it come from?

Egg comes rollin' along, happy as Larry.

It's wonderin;

where'd it come from?

Without a chicken, you get

no egg to come rollin' along.

Well, conversely, without

an egg to hatch into the chicken,

there will be no chicken

to lay the other egg

that hatches into the chicken...

that lays the egg

I mentioned in the first place.

- So we got two eggs now?

- No, we're still talking

about the very first egg.

- But what happened

about the very first chicken?

- He's in the very first egg!
