Happy Feet Page #5

to the very heart of our community.

Have you lost your minds?

- We're just having fun.

- Harmless fun.

"Harmless"? It is this kind of backsliding

that has brought the scarcity upon us.

Excuse me, smiley. Can you speak

plain penguin, please?

He thinks the food shortage

has something to do with me.

Do you not understand that we can

only survive here when we're in harmony?

When you and your foreign friends

lead us into your easy ways...

...you offend the Great 'Guin.

You invite him to withhold his bounty.

- He rules the seasons.

- He giveth and he can taketh away.

Wait a minute.

Happy feet can't cause a famine.

If thy kind of pagan display

did not cause it, then what did?

I think it comes from outside.

Way beyond the ice.

There are things out there,

things we don't understand.

- Mysteries.

- Mind-boggling mysteries.

- Mystic beings.

- Yeah, aliens.

- He's mad.

- No, aliens.

- I hear they're smart.

- He's insane.

No, they might be smarter than all of us.

Who knows?

He drove the fish away,

now he's ranting this rubbish!

- Hey, let me tell something to you.

- Don't touch me, you filthy vermin.

- Hey, watch it.

- And so it follows.

Dissent leads to division

and division leads us to doom.

- You, Mumble Happy Feet, must go.

- Hear, hear.

Don't you take one step, sweetheart.

You have as much right to be here

as any of these daffy old fools.

Norma Jean, I'll deal with this.

Pa?

Mumble, you must renounce

your so-called friends...

...your peculiar thoughts,

your strange ways.

- Memphis.

- Lf we are devout...

...sincere in our praise,

the fish will return.

- But, Pa--

- Listen, boy, I was a backslider myself.

I was careless

and now we're paying the price.

What's this got to do with Mumble?

- It's why he is the way he is.

- There's nothing wrong with him!

- Face it, our son's all messed up.

- He's not messed up, hear me?

- Believe me, I know.

- How can you say that?

Because when he was just an egg,

I dropped him!

Memphis.

Mumble.

Oh, my poor little Mumble.

But, Mom, I'm perfectly fine.

- No. No, you're not, boy.

- That's right.

For all our sakes, you must stop

this freakiness with the feet.

Your father speaks wisely.

Heed his suffering heart and repent.

But it just doesn't make any sense.

Then your arrogance leaves us no choice!

No, wait.

Please, son, you can do this.

It ain't so hard.

Don't ask me to change, Pa,

because I can't.

And that, my brethren, is the end of it.

You, begone!

- Mumble.

- No, Ma, it's okay. It's okay.

Let me tell something to you.

When I find out

what's happening to the fish...

...I'll be back.

Let me through? Let me through.

- Mumble, you don't have to go.

- Let it be.

- Gloria.

- No. No, Dad, this isn't fair.

Gloria, listen to your father.

My folks were always putting him down

Down, down, down

They said he came

From the wrong side of town

He came from the wrong side of town

They told me he was bad

So bad

- But I know he was sad

- So sad

I'll never forget him

The leader of the pack

We sing the heart

of our true friend, Mumble.

You are a nation of peeny-weeny,

piffling, piccolini, piddly-diddly pouft!

Together, we prevail.

In the wisdoms, we trust.

We trust.

Look out

Look out

Look out

Look

Look out

Don't worry, tall guy.

My father also called me a pitiful loser.

Look how I turn out.

You're not helping, Ramon.

He gonna be okay. All he gotta do

is find out what happened to the fish.

- How he gonna do that?

- He think of something.

- The aliens.

- What?

- I'm gonna talk to the aliens.

- How you gonna find aliens?

- Lovelace.

- He don't like you. He don't like you at all.

That's okay. I'll appeal

to his better nature.

- How you gonna do that?

- Cruel and unusual punishment?

- Unimaginable torture?

- Imaginable torture?

- Your singing?

- No!

"Can anybody find me"...

- You're cracking the ice!

- Avalanche!

Yes, okay. Thank you.

Lovelace. You there?

Lovelace!

Lovelace.

Lovelace?

Is this a bad time?

I know we don't have

an appointment, but--

Just one question and

I want a straight answer.

Where do I find the mystic beings?

Why don't he speak?

Lovelace, you okay?

- Boy, he's possessed.

- It's a seizure! It's a seizure!

- Open the beak.

- Grab his tongue.

He's choking. That thing

around his neck, it's too tight.

- Well, why didn't you say so?

- On three.

Stop! Listen! No! Amigos! Amigos! Stop!

- What?

- You're hurting him.

Any better?

Lovelace, how did you get

that thing around your neck?

- It was bestowed on him.

- By the mystic beings.

- They didn't bestow it?

- No.

Oh, come on, he don't know

what he's saying.

You were swimming

and it just got caught around your neck.

Oh, no way. He the guru.

Lovelace, did you ever actually meet

a mystic being?

Officially?

No.

I knew it! It's all a lie.

But this belongs to someone.

If we could find them,

I bet you they could take it off.

Show me where you found it. I'm sure

they could help us. You and me both.

Two words, three syllables.

- What is it?

- You're dying?

No, no, wait. Past, past, your past life.

You're passing gas.

Now he thinks he's an elephant seal.

No, no, no. Go over the mountains.

- Go over the mountains!

- Through the land of the elephant seals.

- Beyond the land of the elephant seals.

- Beyond the land of the elephant seals!

- Wait.

- What?

I hear voices.

- There is a voice.

- Where?

- There's a little voice on the wind.

- Mumble!

- "Mambo"?

- "Mambo"?

- Listen.

- Mumble Happy Feet.

- Gloria?

- Gloria!

Gloria?

Hey, you got a stalker.

She's obsessed with you, man.

I can't believe it's you.

Of course it's me.

What are you doing here?

All the love in the world can't be gone

All the need to be loved can't be wrong

- Oh, my.

- So which way, twinkletoes?

No, no, no. If you come,

you may never get back home.

Fine by me.

Gloria, you have a life back there.

I don't. I mean, we don't. Not out here.

How can we keep an egg safe?

That's if we ever had an egg.

Well, I don't need an egg to be happy.

You say that now, but what about later

when all your friends have eggs?

Then I'll have you.

Now he's going to pledge

his soul forever.

- Gloria.

- Here it comes.

I'm a particular kind of guy,

the kind of guy who needs his own space.

It's not you, it's me.

I'm just not up for a serious relationship

right now.

What he's trying to do now

is he's pushing her away. Let's watch.

No matter what you say or do,

you're stuck with me.

Oh, come on. As if you're not

totally thrilled that I'm here.

- Now she got him on the ropes.

- See, right there is your problem.

You think you're irresistible, don't you?

I don't care where you're from,

that's got to hurt.

- Excuse me?

- Gloria's so gorgeous, Gloria's so talented.

What?

Just because

you can hit a few high notes.

You got a problem with my singing?

No, it's perfectly fine.

- "Fine"?

- Lf you like that sort of thing.

- It's a little Nana Tootsie for my taste.
