Duck Duck Goose Page #6

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

No, Chi, really.

Come on, okay? There's no such thing as...

Monsters. It's just a turtle, right?

It's got to be.

I don't like it. Let's go back.

Yeah.

- Chao, which way is back?

- Um...

Look, Chi! It looks like...

It is! I can see the other side!

Um, Chi...

Badger! You're awake.

What have you done? Why?

Duh! I'm healing your wing, brah.

That's the wrong wing.

Ah. Uno momentito, duder.

All right. Wait...

Did you hear a sheep?

- What? No.

- Neither did I.

What are you doing? Ow!

- Whoa, easy there big guy!

- Ow!

Hey, hey. You got to chill your sticks,

badger. Sit down!

Are you sure this is gonna work?

Ah, no problemo, man. I'm a healer.

It's what I do.

It's worked on all of my buddies.

Your buddies? Oh, so you're...

you're not the only squirrel up here then?

Squirrels? Oh, man! Squirrels?

Man. Oh, these...

Oh, these aren't squirrels. Are you crazy?

Squirrels.

Yeah, there used to be a whole

bunch of us, flying around, having fun.

But then they left.

Oh, really? I wonder why.

Oh, you know, they met girls,

started families.

Can you believe

they did that to me?

Surprising.

I said to my friend Rocky, I was like,

"Hey, Rocky, yeah,

great for you and the moose,

but now what am I gonna do

on Tuesday nights, huh?"

Can't imagine why they'd leave.

That's what I said!

Well, now they're all miserable

with their kids.

They are?

Well, you know... I mean,

they say they're happy, but come on.

All kids do is eat,

poop and complain. Right?

Yeah, you got that right.

Ugh, that burns me nose hairs.

Ah! What the...

This is nuts, I got to get... It's...

Forget the kids.

I gotta get to the haven.

What? Hold the mayo, man!

You live in the Spa?

Oh! Hey, you think you can get me in?

Uh, you? Well, I can... I...

You know, why not? All right, fine.

Yeah, man, that's awesome.

You know the winters up here can be

so gnarly. Like last year, my nuts froze.

- Huh?

- Wait. What kids?

All right, it's okay!

We're fine. Everything's fine.

Carl, I don't get this. How is hanging

from a branch supposed to heal me?

Dude, just reach out your arms

like they're wings and...

What do you mean "like wings,"

they are wings.

Oh, pretend you haven't got any,

then pretend you do.

Then let go of the branch.

Let go? Carl, I can't fly. Remember?

My wing is totally messed up.

Dude, flying is all about taking the leap.

I know what flying is, Carl.

It's the falling I'm worried about.

No, it's the hitting the ground

I'm worried about.

Slow your roll, Mr. Worry Nuts.

What could go wrong?

You're tied to that rope.

Dude, it's all mental.

Except for the physical part.

Okay, Peng, you can do this.

Here we go. One... Two...

Three!

Whoo-hoo! Leap of faith, man!

Oh! Bummer.

Whoo-hoo! This is awesome.

Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.

Whoa! You're flying like a badger, badger.

Whoo! I'm flying, Carl!

I'm flying.

Oh! Oh my gosh, I'm flying!

I'm really flying, Peng.

This is so cool!

Hey! That's the wrong way, man!

Yes, but I'm headed

in the right direction.

Chao! Hey, Chao, Chao, Chao!

Quick. Come and see!

Go, go, go. Good boys.

It's so good to see you guys!

We got separated...

Wow!

Come along. Go, go.

Go, go, go.

This way, this way.

Does this seem right to you?

Come on. It's got to be

the way to Pleasant Valley.

Uh, I don't think so.

Go, go, go.

Oh, no!

Whoa!

This wouldn't have

happened if we'd just stayed with Peng.

You've got to be kidding me!

He didn't care about us.

Yes, he did!

He was great and he was funny

and he took care of us.

He wouldn't have gone away

if you hadn't been so mean.

Mean? I was trying to protect you.

And I wouldn't have had to

if you weren't such a big baby!

You think you're looking after me,

but you're not!

Pleasant Valley isn't even real,

and you're not my mom.

Well, maybe I'm not, but right now

I'm all you've got.

No! No, no, no. Let them go!

Huh? No.

- Chi.

- Yeah?

I'm so sorry.

Here's your duck.

Normally,

I won't come to a restaurant like this.

- Oh!

- Ow!

Disgusting!

What?

Ahh!

That hurt.

It's Peng!

Shh. Come on, let's go. Go on!

Quick! Now! Here. Come on.

Quick! Find a place to hide!

Hmm?

Come on, hurry!

Zhao, what's going on?

Sir, your goose,

medium rare. Hope you enjoy it!

With the medium rare feathers?

What?

A cooked duck that runs away?

Hurry! Just go! Go!

- Get off! Get off!

- Get out of here!

I'll catch up! Go on!

Ow!

Peng!

Chi! Go! Go as fast as you can!

Damn goose!

Whoa! Oh, poop.

Wait! Will you help us?

This way!

Come on. Hurry, hurry!

- My restaurant! You!

- Oh, no!

My restaurant! I'll kill you, I kill you!

No!

Guys! Chao! Chi! Where'd you go?

- We're here!

- Peng!

Whoa!

Oh, no!

Hey! Chi! Guys, over here!

Slow down! Wait! Don't go that way!

Whoa!

Come on, over here.

Hey! You guys.

No, no, no! Don't. Don't!

Chi! Chao!

Kids!

Get off of us!

Let me go.

Lost something, goose?

You know, I've really enjoyed the hunt.

But I much prefer the torture,

the dismemberment,

and the gamey aftertaste.

Ew!

Kids, go! Run!

Ow!

Quickly! Come on, run! Come on.

Quickly. Let's go.

No! Ah! Ow!

Kill him.

No! Leave him alone!

Let him go!

Kids forget about me! Just go! Now!

Don't worry. I'll look after the family,

once you've gone. Say goodbye, Daddy.

Peng!

Call me Mommy.

You're coming with me!

No!

- No, Peng!

- Peng!

Come back. No!

No! Leave him alone!

This is crazy. What... Just...

Why can't you leave us alone?

Birds are so arrogant.

Always flying away

at the first sign of danger.

But nobody's flying anywhere tonight.

You're going to go out with a whimper.

No. You're going out with a bang.

No. No, no, no...

No!

Are you okay, Mom?

I thought I'd lost you. Come here.

Come here. Oh, my...

I thought I'd lost you.

Oh, great guys, it's, uh... the snow.

We got to go.

Where? Where are we going?

Home. You're coming home with me.

Keep up, guys. We're doing it.

We'll just keep going, right?

Just follow my path. We can do this.

Oh. Peng!

Up you go. There.

Okay, hold on tight.

Whoa!

- Are you okay?

- Yeah

Wow, look! Chi, what is that?

The haven!

Why is it so misty?

Well, that's because

they're hot pools, right, Peng?

Peng?

Peng!

Peng, no!

No!

Listen, kids.

You're gonna have to go on without me.

No! No.

But you're

not coming with us?

Not this time, buddy.

But you have to, otherwise,

what was all of this about?

No!

It was about getting you to a family

and that's just right over the ridge.

No! No! Don't you get it, okay?

You're our family.

Yes! Yes, I am.

And now I'm telling you,

you gotta get to safety, okay?

Because that's what mommies do.

You can do it, guys.

It's just a hop, skip, and a jump.

Yeah, well, we're sticking together.

Because that's what families do.

Faster, little brother!

You got to push, okay? Push! Push!

What? But... Oh, no!

Whoa!

I can't do it, Chi. He's so heavy.

And my wings hurt and...

Chao, honk!

Peng told us to honk if we need help!

You can do it, Chao! Use your honk!
