get a little Ionely.

So l... I picked you something up.

I don't know, you kind of struck me

as some what of a nature boy...

so I got you this little guy.

- There he is.

- Oh, my God.

Get it out! Get it out!

Get it away! Get it away!

- Are you sure?

- Get it away!

OK, Dana,

you passed the lie detector test.

Crude? Yeah, but effective.

Today? I can't believe this.

I can't believe this.

We've got to do something.

Ahh, well, yeah,

I'm gonna do something.

- Like what?

- Well, first...

I'm gonna hotwire

Muckle's precious Hummer.

I'm gonna hook it up to that

construction trailer...

Wait a minute.

That's crazy.

And I'll drive 'em

to the edge of the canal...

put a brick on the gas pedal...

and release the emergency brake.

You can't do that.

It'll sink like a rock, pretty quick.

And that'll give me time

to come up with somethin'...

that'll really freak 'em out.

No. No, way.

You'll slow them down,

but you won't stop them.

We've been through this.

Plus, you'll end up in jail...

and then nobody in town

will be in the mood to hear the truth.

Ahh.

- Ahh.

- Ahh.

We're the only ones who care.

We're the only ones who know.

We got to let the town know

what Muckle's up to...

and stop this construction

once and for all.

That's what we've been trying to do.

These idiots around here

won't give a dang.

They're all too excited

about having a stupid pancake house.

Look, I've got an idea.

If it doesn't work,

you're gonna do what you have to do.

But can we at least try it my way first?

It's worth a shot.

All right.

So what's your brilliant plan?

So here's what we're gonna do...

Burrowing owls.

They're legally protected.

Hello, this is Monica calling

from Mother Paula's...

to confirm that the mayor

will be here today at 3:30...

for the groundbreaking ceremony.

Today?

I have that scheduled for tomorrow.

That's why I'm calling.

We had to reschedule due

to an unexpected rain tomorrow.

Mother Paula can do a lot of things,

but she can't change the weather.

That would be Mother Nature.

Thank you again for calling.

And I'll be sure and let everyone know.

OK, no problem.

Hey, if you want to bring two cameras,

l... I mean, that's what WZBY is bringing.

But, hey, I'm just the P.R. guy

at Mother Paula's.

You guys are the journalists.

Here you go. Plans, permits,

environmental reports. Make it snappy.

I got a conch salad

going bad in the back.

That's weird.

Is there another copy of this report?

Yeah. The foreman's supposed

to have one at the job site.

Thanks.

Roy?

Say, excuse me,

where'd that kid go?

I don't know, he was just here.

What he do, Officer?

It's police business.

What was he doing in here?

He was looking at the files

on the new pancake house.

What is he up to?

Thanks.

Where's that nitwit?

Thinking about crashing my party?

How 'bout a little artic blast

to change your mind?

Ha ha ha.

Yeah, you might want

to throw on a sweater.

There's a cold front

blowing into Florida.

Ha!

Heh heh heh.

Hey, little birdie,

you wanna meet my friend?

Say hello to Jack Frost.

Heh heh heh.

I wouldn't do that again if I were you.

Who's gonna stop me, you?

You asked for it.

What are you gonna do?

You gonna throw

your little butterfly net?

Is that what you're gonna do?

Oh, no. Please... hey.

Hey. OK, you just made

a big mistake, nature boy.

Ooh! Oof!

Ouch.

So why are there

palm trees in Ireland?

Because the tropical waters

of the Gulf Stream...

traveling north from Florida...

Roy, you're late.

- Sorry.

- Take a seat.

Mr. Ryan, I know this is kind of weird...

But can I make

an announcement real quick?

I hope it's important.

It's really important.

I know you don't know me very well yet...

but...

I need your help.

When I heard this new

pancake house was being built...

I thought...

Cool.

l... I mean, who doesn't love pancakes?

But then a friend took me out there...

and showed me something

that changed my mind.

What's he doing?

What's he talking about?

Just... everybody, come

to the Mother Paula's lot...

right after school.

What?

I don't know.

As I was saying...

the... the tropical waters

of the Gulf Stream...

move north from Florida

across the Atlantic...

Officer, what can I do for you?

Yeah, 'scuse me.

I'm, uh, looking for Roy Eberhardt.

Oh, Roy.

Roy. I think...

I think he's over there.

Ahem.

Roy, I need to ask you a question.

Meet in fifteen minutes at the marina.

Hey!

Hey, hold up!

Stop!

Freeze!

Roy Eberhardt!

Come here! Roy!

Hey!

Roy, come on now.

I just wanna talk to you, all right?

I just wanna ask you

a few questions.

That's all, all right?

Whoa!

Pull your vehicle

to the side of the road, son.

No, not my cruiser.

Come on.

That's gonna leave a dent.

Oh!

Come on, Roy.

Please, pull over.

I just wanna ask you

a few questions.

All right, no more Mr. Nice Cop.

You got nowhere else to go, Roy!

Roy, stop!

Hey, Roy, stop!

Hey, right there.

Just give me a second.

I can explain everything...

if you just give me

one second. l...

That was option "A," Roy.

OK, but then you fled the scene

and you resisted an officer.

All right? I know you're

involved in this somehow.

I got to take you in.

I got no other choice.

OK?

Officer, I'm sorry.

I know this might look bad.

There's something I got to do.

Ohh.

Uhh.

Roy!

Roy!

Damn it!

How'd it go?

You're never going to believe this.

Uh, we ran into a little trouble.

The police are after me,

and we're out of time.

If you think that's a little trouble...

then you're really gonna get

a kick out of this.

What are we doing here?

Yeah, what's going on?

Mmm-mmm-mmm!

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm!

Mmm-mmm!

Uhh.

Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mm!

You can't do this!

It just happened.

He was trying to kill the owls.

What was I supposed to do?

We got to get him out of here now

before people start...

Mmm-mmm-mmm!

Showing up.

Too late.

Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Now, where's Muckle?

Uh, maybe in the trailer, Mr. Mayor.

Hi, Mayor Grandy.

Is Mr. Muckle in there?

Uh, yeah... um, no.

He's been delayed.

Um, I'm actually Mr. Muckle's

daughter, Mary Myrtle Muckle.

He just wanted me to let you know...

that everything

is proceeding as planned...

and he's going to need

just a few more minutes.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for the other copy

of the environmental report.

Mm-mmm.

Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!

Mmm-m-m-m!

Three...

four...

Mmm-mmm.

Put your hands together

for Mayor Grandy.

Welcome, Mayor Grandy!

Yeah! Whoo!

Bingo! Page five. Yes!

There's a cop walking this way.

Let's go!

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Mmm-mmm-mm-mm-mmm-

mmm-mmm-m-mmm-mm-mmm.

Good afternoon,

Coconut Cove. I love it!

Love you, love you.

Welcome...

Open up. Police.

Mother Paula's

Pancake House! Welcome!

Hello?

Mm-mmm-mm-mmm-mmm-mm.

Mm.

Mmm-mmm.

Mmm-mmm.

Mmm. Mmm-mmm.

What are we going to do?

We're going to stick to the plan.

You need to let these people know
