Don't look dull. This might get hairy.

Attention. This is your captain speaking.

I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is, we will be landing immediately.

The bad news is,

we are crush landing!

When it comes to air travel, we know you have no choice what so ever.

But thanks again for choosing air penguin.

Raise your arms Maurice.

It's more fun when you raise your arms like this.

I can fly.

This could be it Marty.

I just want you to know that

you are truly a one in a million friend.

Thanks buddy. You are the best ever.

I know you won't mind when I tell you...

Come on. Tell me it, tell me, tell me what?

I broke your iPod!

What!

The button were so small. It made me mad.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna kill you!

I love you Gloria,

I always have!

Like ah...

Like you love the beach or a good book.

Or the beach.

My goodness doll,

you are shaking like a leaf.

Rico, you had your fun.

Haul up!

Gear down.

Gently now. You just wanna kiss the ground.

Just a little pack, smooch like a kiss...

I said kiss it!

Now, just a little break.

Just a touch, a little whisper.

I believe that's checkmate.

Immersed emergency landing procedure.

Flaps up! Deploy!

Oh, we are here.

What in the world?

What happened to the plane?

OK. I'm OK. OK. I'm alive.

See, I can't even sleep for a minute.

You know what, this is not JFK.

Kowalski, casualty report.

Only two passengers unaccounted for, Skipper.

That's a number I can live with.

Good landing boys.

Who says a penguin can't fly.

Hey, happy slappers.

Is there some reason to celebrate?

Look at the plane.

We'll fix it.

Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

We should be up and running in say,

six to nine months.

Sixty nine months?

No! Six to nine months.

Kowalski, I say we use this setback to our advantage.

Where do you get,

where do you pull that number out of, huh?

I want you to reconfigure the design, so start reconfiguring!

Great, that's a great... How do you estimate that?

You! Pretty boy!

Why don't you and your friends dig a tree, maybe find water.

Hold on, hold on a second.

Who made you king of the plane wreck?

Excuse me.

Fine, you can be in charge. You fix the plane!

Who gives you the authority to put me in charge?

OK then, I'll remain in charge.

Yeah, that's right. You will remain in charge.

You and your little happy friends can stay out of our hair.

Correctamundo! Because I decided to.

Good for you.

Yeah, well guess what this discussion isn't over.

Higher mammals, you stay with us.

We could use your front cortexes and apposable thumbs.

Feel crushed

wash your hands out with soap.

How, in the.. Hello! are they gonna fix this plane?

You know, grit 'n spit and spit, once spit and griten.

Stick to it at mist.

They don't sound too promising.

You're right. Right, we are stuck here.

Hey guys, as long as we're together we'll be OK.

Yeah, yeah but love ain't gonna get us home.

Behold, the lion!

Hey, it's people.

OK. There is much to see, moving on.

People.

Wait, wait.

Wait people.

Hey wait, if you stop we'll autograph those.

I know you.

You.

It's that bad kitty.

How do you like some other?

Right in the batteries!

You think that old lady can't take care of you?

Next time I won't go so easy on you.

Thank you dear.

Moving on.

Are you out of your mind?

We need their help, and you're arresting little old ladies?

Out of my mind? Aha!

Who is out of my mind?

See if you can get an operator?

No problem.

Out of my mind?

We're going home.

This time I'm forty percent sure.

I know this place.

I think this is Africa.

Africa?

Our ancestral crib.

It's in our blood. I can feel it.

No, no. It's more than that.

It's like dejavu.

Like I've, like I've been here before.

It's like roots.

No, no. It's like dejavu.

Like I've, like I've been here before.

How? How?

In great metal bird.

Smash ground. Go boom.

Then here. We emerge.

We offer only happiness and good greetings.

Yeah, we just... Yeah. I thought. Sorry.

You mean, you came from off the reserve.

Yeah, way off, from the Central Park Zoo actually.

Don't strain yourself.

What is going on here, what is all this have about?

They say they are from off the reserve.

That's impossible.

Only people come from off the reserve.

You look familiar, do I know you from...

How could you possibly survived the hunters.

Hunters, we didn't see any hunters.

What are you looking at?

Me? Nothing.

This watering hole doesn't need any more mouths to feed.

So just get out of back to wherever you came from.

OK. Was there a maybe like a manager we can talk to?

Oh, I see.

You're here to challenge me.

What? No! No, no.

What else would start you look on to me?

Hold on, Zuba, wait.

Don't call woman, don't you see I am trying...

Yeah, yeah...

Zuba. Hold on.

Alakay, is that you?

No, it's Alex. "X", like New York Knicks.

Oh, I have always had that, have had checked it out,

Mark.

Alakay, yeah. The pathetical son returns.

This is perfect.

I thought you hated Zuba.

No I do. I do, I do. I hate him. Oh, I do.

And I am going to use Alakay.

Yes. I am going to use him

to get rid of Zuba once and for all.

Move out of the way, stand aside.

New York. Hmm, it's a bit of a dumb.

Are you sure we are not in New Jersey?

Hello New Yorkers, your new king is here.

This calls for celebration.

Maurice, I think they like me.

You got to love a known house to take off.

Chaka chaka what?

Excuse me, excuse me.

Hey Marty.

Hey, you are a good looking group.

You like to run?

Oh yeah. Running is crackalacking.

That's right, that's right, crackalacking.

You guys are speaking my crackalacking language.

What, you don't have doctors here?

Well, not any more.

What if you catch a cold?

We go over to the die holes and we die.

OK, you guys really need a doctor.

Hey, we have an opening.

Would you be interested?

Me? A doctor?
