Duck Duck Goose Page #5

Synopsis: Duck Duck Goose, the story of the most unlikely family ever. The film is directed by Christopher Jenkins (Home) from a screenplay by Christopher Jenkins and Rob Muir. After he's grounded by an injury, a high-flying bachelor is saddled with two wide-eyed orphans as they come face-to-face with the dangers and beauty of the outside world in the funny and touching animated feature, Duck Duck Goose. Our free-wheeling hero, Peng, rejects the community of his tight-knit flock of geese in an attempt to live life on his own terms. But after he narrowly rescues two young ducklings, Chi and Chao, from an eccentric but deadly cat named Banzou, the two latch onto the Goose like a parent; and with a paralyzing winter on the horizon and the departure of both their flocks, Peng agrees to look after the ducklings out of fear his injury might be discovered by Banzou, and other predators who would prey on a goose who cannot fly. The makeshift trio embarks on a beautiful and dangerous journey through moun

Birds of a feather migrate together!

Birds of a feather migrate together.

Never give up!

Peng's never coming back, Jinjing.

- What?

- He, uh... he never deserved you.

Dad, we've talked about this before.

If I may, young lady, uh,

you need a gander who's strong,

accompanied by an infallible intellect,

and a side order of humility.

But a big, big side order.

Someone like, well, someone like your dad.

He is like you, Dad.

That's what I've been trying to tell you!

- He's handsome.

- Handsome.

- He's strong.

- Mm-hmm.

Sure he's reckless

- and a bit of a show-off.

- Well...

But deep down underneath

that narcissistic, annoying exterior...

Uh, wait, wait. "Narcissistic"?

I don't know why I like Peng, Dad.

It's weird...

Ah, the heart wants...

What the heart wants.

It's as clear as the beak on my face.

No daughter of mine is saddling up

with that sad excuse for a gander.

You just try and stop me, Daddy.

Oh, awkward.

Good afternoon, ladies.

Ladies?

Uh, you don't think he's...

Yeah.

- For reals?

- Totally.

Nah. Really?

Chao!

He's not in there. See?

He's got more sense than to go

into some creepy, dark, scary cave.

This is so cool!

Oh, shoot.

Okay, we got to go get him.

Hold up.

Let me present something to you.

How much do you like your brother?

A lot! Okay, I like him a lot.

But what you have to understand is

this is a sub-underground, um, enviro.

I'm used to being above it all.

- Uh, that didn't come out right.

- Mm-hmm.

All right. Fine.

We'll go in and get the little stinker.

No, no, no, no.

It's just we're underground.

It's dark. It's smelly.

Great. We're gonna die.

Chao!

Chi...

He's this way.

Not so fast! Wait for me.

Whoa, whoa. I have goosebumps

on my goosebumps

and I'm a goose for Pete's sake!

Fine, fine. I'm fine.

Nothing to worry about.

Are you sure?

Yep. Ah! What was that?

Something just touched me!

- What is it?

- I don't know.

It's slimy, and smelly, and...

Oh, it's just Chao.

Guys! You've got to come see this!

Will you be my buddy?

Wait for me. Ah!

Mommy.

Ow.

Wow.

Whoa. It's like... It's like stars.

I think they're glowworms.

Glowworms? How did...

Well, how do they glow like that?

Well, it's actually two chemicals

reacting in their bellies.

Why would you know that?

Gross! I got to go swim or something.

Spicy!

- Chao, look!

- Oh, it looks like us!

Gotcha!

Oh, Peng, my friend

and I would like to have a word with you.

Hey, I remember them!

Blah, blah, blah.

Goose actually.

I'm a turtle

who sounds like

I have a frog stuck in my throat.

Ribbit.

Wow, that's pretty cool, Chi.

I'm not doing that one.

Huh? Way to go Chao.

That's not me.

Well, if you didn't do it, and he's not

doing it, and I'm definitely not...

All my favorites in one place.

Duck, duck, goose.

Guys run!

Where'd you guys go?

- Peng? Where are you guys?

- Ow!

- Chi? Where are you?

- Chao, where are you? Peng?

You're dead, goose! You hear me? Dead!

- Peng!

- Peng, we need to go.

The cat. He's gonna get us. He's after us.

Ducklings come out to play.

All right. Which way is out of here?

Owie!

What are you doing?

You'll see.

This way. Come on. Hurry!

Oh, little ducklings.

Come out, come out, wherever you are.

This way. Come on. Hurry!

That's the way out.

You can't duck me forever.

Come on, up you go. There. I'm right here.

Keep going, fast as you can.

- I can't do it.

- Yes, you can! Keep going.

Ready or not...

- Come on! Come on!

- We're coming!

Hurry!

Oh! Guys, I have a bad feeling about this.

Whoa!

That was it?

Phew! I thought it was gonna be big...

This is so cool!

Peng!

- I'm dizzy.

- This is so cool!

- Chi! Peng! Come here and swim a bit.

- I need to lie down.

I feel sick.

- I don't know what to feel.

- Chi, look at me!

Cannonball!

Am I crazy

or is your brother indestructible?

Check this out.

Using air currents,

that was pretty genius.

Yeah, well, uh,

that's a little thing I invented.

I tried to show my flock,

but they weren't ready for it yet.

It's the road! It... It's the road!

You've found the road!

You did it, Peng! You... You really did it!

Whoo! Yes! We're going home.

All right!

Wow, well, how about that?

I told you I'd get you here, right?

Yeah!

You know, I always trust my instincts.

Now, all we got to do is cross the river,

hit the road,

and I'm sure we'll catch up

with your flock.

- Chi, is Pleasant Valley really home?

- What?

I don't know if I want to go

back to the others now.

Chao, you can't be serious.

Well, we are kind of a family, aren't we?

You've imprinted, haven't you?

I didn't mean to.

My flock! Guys, guys, guys, wait!

Wait for me!

It's me, it's me! Please wait!

All right, flock, time to wander

into the deep blue yonder.

Where's he going?

Peng, Peng! Where you going?

No, no, no, please wait!

What's up with Peng?

I don't know. Uh... Peng. What is it?

What's going on? What's wrong?

What's... What's wrong? Didn't you see?

That was my flock.

I could have caught up with them!

But at every turn, you guys slow me down.

How am I gonna get to the haven now?

I should've left you with the pigs.

You were going to leave us?

He was gonna leave us

whenever it suited him, Chao.

I got you to your road, okay!

This whole time you weren't helping us.

You were using us.

Yes... No, not... At the beginning, I...

I found your road okay? Look, I gotta go.

You know what, Peng, your instincts stink!

Come on, Chao.

Don't go, Mom. Please?

I said come on, Chao. Forget him.

Guys! Guys, wait.

Wait! No!

Oh, no! Come back, you guys!

Ahh!

Somebody help! Please come back!

Jinjing?

Incoming!

Ahh!

Ta-da!

Another perfect landing, man.

Wait? Are you a squirrel?

Hey, you know what,

I'm not really into labels, per se.

I find them limiting.

Like, I wouldn't call you a badger.

Well, that's because I'm not a badger.

Yeah, so you see what I'm talking about.

Right on.

Hey, I'm Carl. Bring it in, brah.

- Ow.

- Hey, wait a second.

Yes! Definitely picking up on a negative

aura around this general wing area.

Yeah, it's called pain.

I've injured my wing.

Dude! This is your lucky, lucky day.

Lucky for you I am artful

in the ways of healing. Qigong, man.

"Qi" what?

Is that "goodbye" in squirrel or...

Hey, you don't have any cookies, do you?

Cookies? No. Uh, uh... Go back to the...

Did you say you could fix my wing?

Why? What happened to your wing?

Oh! Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right.

Your wing. Totally, yes!

Brace yourself,

because this is a four-step process.

First, is stimulation.

Stimulation? Ow! Ooh!

Followed by manipulation.

- Like this!

- What? Wait! Ouch!

Then, a simple case of aggravation.

And finally, the pice de rsistance,

incapacitation.

Goodnight, badger.

We're never gonna

find our way through this.

What are we gonna do?

I guess we're just gonna

have to cross the river.

What is it?

This is just like Peng's story.

Yeah, well, he's good at making things up.
