Happy Feet Page #3

Synopsis: This is the story of a little penguin named Mumble who has a terrible singing voice and later discovers he has no Heartsong. However, Mumble has an astute talent for something that none of the penguins had ever seen before: tap dancing. Though Mumble's mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it "just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange "hippity- hoppity" ways. Mumble is just too different--especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of Emperor Land, who ultimately casts him out of the community. Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins--the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon, the Adelies instantly embrace Mumble's cool dance moves and invite him to party with

But everybody wants to put me down

They say, they say, I'm going crazy

They say I got a lot of water in my brain

Got no common sense

I got nobody left to believe in

What's wrong with you?

- Mumble.

- Yeah?

- It's better you just--

Come on. Put your flippers

in the air, now.

Find me somebody to love

Find me somebody to love

Yes, there's somebody out there

I'm completely terrified.

Oh, no, no, no. Come on.

Bring it. Bring it on.

- Kiss it. Kiss it.

Come here, sausage.

I take you with ketchup.

But first you got to catch up.

Oh, here he comes.

You better move in a half an hour.

Let's get out of here.

- Hey, amigo, do that again.

- Do what?

- That thing with the--

- The clickety-clickety.

- That.

- Yeah, do it.

- Come on, come on.

- Well, I just kind of go:

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Oh, nice.

And then this:

Way to go! It's amazing!

- Oh, the little whisker.

- Look at him.

Oh, he's leaving.

Oh, no, that was his face!

Remember, dumplings,

I know where you live.

Yeah, it's called land, lard face.

Flop back anytime, rubber butt!

See you, fatty.

That's cool. "See you, fatty!"

Did it take you a while

to come up with that one?

All right, way to go, tall guy.

Give me fin, give me fin.

To the left, to the right

I'm getting it, oh, yes

Look out, here I go

I got it, I got it, I don't, I had it

Oh, my stomach hurts. I gotta pee.

Ain't you coming, tall boy?

What, you got something better to do?

- No.

- Well, then, come along, Fluffy, let's go.

Hey, stretch, you like to party?

Party? I guess so.

Well, stick with us, baby.

Yeah, because we practically

own the action here.

Mambo!

Everybody's so... spontan-you-us.

Spontan-you-us!

And these are the bad times!

- Yeah, our food chain go loco.

- Everyone a bit down.

But it ain't gonna stop no party!

- Viva la party!

- Watch me work.

Gosh, he's eating rocks.

- You hear what he said?

- "Eating rocks."

But he had a rock in his mouth.

That's no rock, hombre. It's love stones.

- For building the nest.

- The one with the most pebbles wins.

You know:

You're not interested in chicas?

- Hey, hey, hey.

- You kidding?

Without us, the chicas got no boom.

- Why aren't you collecting pebbles?

- Pebbles, schmebbles, man.

We got personality, with a capital Y.

Why? Because we're hot.

Watch and learn, tall boy.

- Hey. Hey, baby.

- Over here, mama. Chicky baby.

- Baby.

- What are you looking at?

- You looking at me?

- Come over here.

- Come on, mam.

- You see something you like, yes?

I don't think so. Not tonight, baby.

Oh, don't be so snooty, booty.

That's the way... you like it, you like it

You want it, I got it

Could've had it, you missed it

Look at the feet, huh?

- Where'd you learn that?

- The big guy.

- He from out of town.

- He with us.

- Do it again.

- Do it, baby. Show me those flipping feet.

- No, no, no. Sorry, girls.

- Some other time maybe.

You guys are soft in the head, okay?

Let's go.

- Leave them wanting more, you know?

- Hold back till the season.

- You show them what you got.

- Either you got it or not.

- And the Amigos?

- We got it!

You think I could get some of it?

Hombre, you've got so much already,

you dangerous, baby.

You really think so?

You kidding? With moves like yours...

...you must have all the ladies

drooling at your feet.

- I wouldn't say that.

- Oh, listen to him. He's so cute.

Let me tell something to you.

Except for me, tall boy,

you got the most charisma of anybody.

Put that ego away, Ramon,

you're gonna hurt someone.

You so jealous. Just a moment.

I hear people wanting something.

Me!

- Mambo

- Okay, you girlies, Mambo

One more time now, mambo

Mambo, mambo, mambo

Mambo!

Your turn, your turn.

Oh, get down.

Man, this guy is so accidentally cool.

Okay, okay.

Mama!

Mommy!

Come on, Fluffy.

Oh, I love gravity.

- Oh, I feel like reminiscing.

- Remin-icing?

- It was too close.

- Come on, come on.

Hey, guys! Where are we going?

- We relocating.

- Placing ourselves elsewhere.

- But that thing, what was it?

- How should we know?

- We're penguins.

- Very little penguins.

But where did it come from?

It's so weird, so alien.

- What's he talking about?

- Some hombre called Elian.

I don't know a guy Elian.

I knew a guy named Estevan--

- Not Estevan, Elian.

- Guys, we have a mystery here.

A mind-boggling mystery.

So? What are we

supposed to do about it?

Amigos, we gotta get

to the bottom of this thing.

Big guy, let me tell something to you.

Come close. Don't be afraid.

- You want answers?

- Yeah.

- That's all you need?

- Yeah.

- Nothing else?

- No.

Then this is very easy.

You go see Lovelace.

- Genius, Ramon. You are the man.

- Thank you.

- I take a moment for myself.

- Let's go.

- Bow down.

- You the man.

- Lovelace is the guru.

- Go see Lovelace.

- He got the answer to everything.

- Everything.
