every bleeding last one of them!

Oh, that was me

good map!

Good morning, everyone.

Here are today's assignments.

- Fanny!

- Danny.

Danny, take your team

and lead the hunters east.

- West.

- Lead them west.

You got it, brother.

- Clancy...

- Nancy.

Nancy, you do the same thing

in the north.

- South.

- In the south, yes.

- Dusty...

- Justy. He's your son.

Correct, Justy, you go find another one

of your magical pinecones.

Jes, jes, jes!

Meow, meow, meow.

You had to marry a chicken.

Jenny, you will spring

the hunter's traps. Take Reggie.

Yes!

I said that out loud.

Ranger, scout the fort.

See what they are planning.

Bring Jake with you.

Go! Be swift and be safe.

Here are the assignments

for the day.

Just try to keep up,

and try not to get us killed.

You're the one who's gonna have

to try to keep up. With me!

His method is unconventional,

but very effective.

- Two can play at that game!

- Ow!

Ow...

I beat you to the bottom of the hill.

Shut up.

What are you looking at?

Check the traps.

We're always one step

ahead of him.

Well, that's reassuring.

Which is one step away from...

Well, that's less reassuring.

But we follow father's rules.

He keeps the flock safe.

I love rules. I actually have a rule

about following rules.

- Me, too!

- No way! Kiss me.

- What did you just say?

- I said rules rule!

No you didn't, but that's okay.

The traps are all set, sir.

You ready to spring some traps?

Pfft! I was born...

- Whoo-hoo!

...ready.

Okay.

- Reggie?

- Oh!

Ahhh!

Ow!

- That was incredible!

- I think I might need to lie down.

So, tell me about the future.

Tell me every little detail,

but make it very fast.

Really? You want to know

about the future?

Ha! Whoa! Ah!

- Stealth mode.

- I'm stealthier!

- Mm!

- No, you're not.

- Popeye dive.

- Whoo! Whoo!

Psst!

Mm!

Mm... oh!

Hm!

- Thank you, woodland creature.

- Never taken a lesson.

I always thought in the future

there would be harmony

between all living things,

but hey,

pizza and TV sound great.

The best show is Mundo del Amor.

That's Spanish for "World of Love."

Reggie?

Yes, Jenny?

- Dogs.

- Dogs?

Yeah, I feel it, too.

Yeah, let's just be dogs.

I'll be a boxer

and you just be a shiba-inu.

Dogs!

Dogs?

Something's wrong.

They shouldn't be this far north.

Wait, I know where we are. Come on!

Reggie, we can't go this way.

We'll lead them right to the flock.

S.T.E.V.E.!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

What is that?!

Oh, Reggie.

- Don't scream. Die with dignity.

- It's okay.

Hm...

What have we here?

Go, S.T.E.V.E., go!

It's magic.

I'm gonna throw up

and not in the good way!

I believe that we are

at a safe distance.

What...? Where are we?

What is that?

That's Earth.

Earth?

That's where we live.

Come on, trust me.

Whoa...

It's beautiful.

It really is.

I always imagined

there was more out there,

but never this much more.

You really are from the future.

You didn't believe me?

Of course not! I thought you were

insane and possibly dangerous.

And cute.

So, was it scary?

You know, traveling through time?

Nah. Takes a lot to rattle

a turkey like me.

Wish you could have seen it.

Oh, she can.

Playback of time travel commencing.

S.T.E.V.E. Must be experiencing

some kind of glitch.

This is where Reggie cries

for his mommy.

Aw. That's sweet.

- We're not sure why that turkey is...

- Here it is in slow-mo.

All right, I think we're safe now.

We should really get going.

As you wish.

Whoa!

Huh. Well, I didn't know a guy

could scream that high pitched.

- Isn't that weird?

- He is so funny.

Bye, S.T.E.V. E... You're the best

time machine I've ever met.

Goodbye, Jenny.

Oh, Reggie...

I'm fully charged and ready

to take you home.

Are you serious?

We can go...

Come on, Reggie, let's go.

Uh, yeah. You know, we don't want to go

flying off half-cocked, right?

Keep me posted. As you were.

Ooh! Yeah.

- Get down.

- You get down.

- Hm...

- Hm...

Centerpieces.

Thanksgiving is happening tomorrow.

The hunters are returning!

If only we could see

what's inside that building.

That's the weapons shed

where they keep all their boomsticks

and the boom powder.

Without their weapons,

they are weak and afraid.

A-ha!

The majority of my powder's

dangerous.

We must report this feast

to father right away.

Jake? Jake!

Oh! That was incredible.

I can't stop thinking about it.

Yeah, like I can't stop thinking,

hypothetically...

Wait. Do you know

what that word means?

No, but I can imagine a scenario

in which I might.

It's all right, I'll tell you.

- See what I did?

- Very clever.

Okay, so, hypothetically?

Well, what if some fella...

Just some fella?

Well, a reasonably attractive,

quick-witted fella.

What if he was to offer

to take you to the future?

I would love to see it.

But my place is here

with my father and Ranger.

I could never leave the flock,

especially not with the hunters

after us.

What if the hunters weren't a threat?

What if everybody was safe and happy

like before?

That would be wonderful.

That would be a dream come true.

Reggie?

Reggie?

Ow! What are you doing?

Oof! Tomorrow's Thanksgiving.

We must attack the fort tonight.

Ah! Oh! Ah! Ow!

We shouldn't attack anything.

He told me we must do it together.

Oh! Give me a break. He?

The Great Turkey?

Ooh! He's a voice inside your head.

How dare you?

There is nothing inside my head.

The Great Turkey is real.

I saw him with my own two eyes.

The more you say that name,

the dumber it sounds. I mean...

The Great Turkey is

the greatest turkey that I know

and you will never be

as great as The Great Turkey

who is the greatest turkey.

Okay.

- Ah!

- I'm sorry, Reggie.

I didn't grow up

on a nice free-range farm.

I grew up in a cold,

clinical factory.

From the time we were born,

we were fattened up on formula.

Except for me. My mother kept me

hidden from the humans.

- Is it time?

- Yes, sweetie.

Now, these eggs are our future, Jake.

Take them and run

and don't stop until you find

a safe place to start a new flock.

Mama, I'm scared.

I know you are, dear.

But I need you to be brave now.

Come on, Jake.

We're so proud of you. You can do it.

Here you go. Careful now.

We believe in you!

Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake!

Hey!

Stop!

Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake!

- I failed.

I let down my family,

and my flock.

I decided I was better off

going it alone

where I could never hurt

anyone again.

Then, he arrived.

The Great Turkey.

Listen to me, young Jake!

He told me about my destiny.

He gave me the sacred time knob

and then told me...

Whoa!

The most important thing

for you to remember

is that you must never give up

no matter what stood in my way.

Jake, I'm sorry, that must have been

really hard to leave your family,

but storming a fort full of armed humans

is a terrible idea.

I have a plan. I discovered

where the hunters store their weapons.

We destroy the weapons,

we stop the feast.
