Mr. Popper's Penguins Page #8
Why are you hitting yourself? Huh?
Why are you hitting yourself?
That's not attractive for a zoo official. Huh?
l'll tell you what.
Now you're trapped like an animal.
lt's ironic.
Hey! Don't. . .
Come back here!
Did you see that?
-Pretty good date so far.
-We're just getting started.
Driver, Tavern on the Green.
Hold on, boss. Hold on, l got it.
Hey, hey! Stop!
MRS. VAN GUNDY:
There have beena lot of rumors floating around lately,
and l'm here to clear them up.
l have always said
that l would only sell the Tavern
And that's why l'm here to announce...
(SLOWLY) Wait!
Don't
do
it!
Did you like that? The slow motion effect.
l just wanted to get your attention.
Mrs. Van Gundy, you can't sell this place.
-l know.
-lf you sell it to me, l'll just tear it down.
And then Freddy and Tito and Klaus,
and the guy that looks like Chef Boyardee
will be out on the street.
-l know.
-This place is a part of New York history.
lt's a part of my history.
l came here with my father.
The other day l had the best
second first date a man could ever have.
And l would rather cut my hands off
and stick knives in my eyes than. . .
Wait, l'd have to do the eyes first
and then the hands,
and l'd have to have somebody
help me cut the right hand off
-because the left hand would be gone.
-Mr. Popper, stop talking.
-Okay.
-l'm not selling.
You're not?
Mmm-mmm.
Glad we got dressed up.
There he is.
Excuse me, folks.
Nat Jones, New York Zoo.
This man has been trafficking
in stolen penguins.
(SCOFFlNG) What are you even talking
about from left field?
Penguins?
lt's absurd.
No, no, no! Penguins, please!
Hi, Pip.
l thought you were going to stay in the car.
They pecked the power locks.
He has been keeping
these defenseless creatures
locked away in his apartment.
When l tried to save them,
he broke into the zoo and kidnapped them.
l've seen these penguins before.
ls it true, Mr. Popper?
Yes, l'm afraid so.
Why did you do it?
Knowing you,
it must be for some sort of personal gain.
Yes, the kind no amount of money can buy.
For Pete's sake.
Mr. Popper and his equally crazy family
believe that these penguins love him.
They are wrong.
lf they have to choose between love
and a nice juicy sardine,
they will choose the fish every time.
-l don't think so.
-Let's find out.
He's got a fish.
l got this.
Come on, guys.
Come on.
JONES:
Come on. Yeah.That's right.
Captain, come on.
Come to Popper.
(HONKlNG)
Hey! That's my guys.
(CROWD APPLAUDlNG)
No! That doesn't prove anything.
Come on, aren't you going to arrest him?
For what? Winning?
ls that what we do in this country?
ls that what America is all about?
l don't think so! l don't think so!
America!
Have you people lost your mind?
He's breaking the law.
Come on, guy, have a heart.
Have a heart?
l'm going to call the Chief of Police.
l'm going to call the Mayor.
MRS. VAN GUNDY:
Oh, allow me.Michael.
-What?
-How are you, dear?
l've got a small matter
-that needs your attention.
-Come on.
That's not good.
The penguins will be provided for.
Mr. Popper always has a plan.
-This is insane!
-Quiet, you. Quit your quarrelling.
-Pippi.
-Quint.
Pleasure.
Quite.
Well, l guess we have custody.
l guess we do.
MRS. VAN GUNDY:
Mr. Popper.Mrs. Van Gundy.
Congratulations. The Tavern is yours.
l told you.
l never forget a name.
l just needed to be sure
that that little boy
hadn't gotten lost somewhere.
Nice work, Popper.
Hey, Franklin.
When do we break ground
on the new building?
We're not.
Hmm?
What are you talking about?
-lt's really beautiful, Thom.
-Thank you.
You did a great job, Dad.
l appreciate that, Billy.
But it wasn't just me.
l'm just the mastermind.
So, l brought you here today
because l want to tell you something.
l'm going on a trip, very far away.
And l could be gone for a very long time.
So, l'm going to need you
to come with me.
BOTH:
Nice!Where are we going?
l hope it's someplace warm.
lt's not, is it?
(WlND GUSHlNG)
(HONKlNG)
Warm enough?
Perfect.
(ALL SQUAWKlNG)
Whoa!
Hey!
Will you look at that?
AMANDA:
lt's a family reunion.BlLLY:
Hey, look, it's the Loveys.And the Loudys.
POPPER:
And the Nimrods.Hey, Dad. l don't think Captain likes it here.
lt's okay, girl.
You just got to get used to it, that's all.
Oh, my. (CHUCKLES)
l think she's going to be just fine.
What should we name him?
Well, he's going to be an amazing flyer.
So, how about
Bald Eagle?
Hey! He's a good reason to come back.
Yeah !
You hear that, Captain?
We're coming back.
Thank you, Captain.
You're the coolest gift l ever got.
(COOlNG)
See you soon.
BlLLY:
Way to go, Captain.You're going to be a great mom.
Not bad, Popper. Not bad.
Yeahbsolutely.
Hmm.
(ICE ICE BABY PLAYlNG)
Yo, VIP, let's kick it
All right, stop, collaborate, and listen
lce is back with my brand new invention
Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Flow like a harpoon, daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? Yo, l don't know
Turn off the lights and l'll glow
To the extreme I rock a mic Iike a vandaI
Light up a stage
and wax a chump like a candle
Dance, go rush the speaker that booms
l'm killing your brain
like a poisonous mushroom
Deadly when l play a dope melody
Anything less than the best is a felony
Love it or leave it, you better gang way
You better hit bull's eye, the kid don't play
lf there was a problem, yo, l'll solve it
Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it
lce, lce, baby
Vanilla lce, lce, baby
VaniIIa
Now that the party is jumping
With the bass kicked in
and the Vega's are pumpin'
Quick to the point, to the point, no faking
Cooking MC's like a pound of bacon
Burning 'em, if you ain't quick and nimble
l go crazy when l hear a cymbal
And a high hat with a souped up tempo
l'm on a roll, it's time to go solo
lce, lce, baby
Vanilla lce, lce, baby
VaniIIa
Take heed 'cause l'm a lyrical poet
Miami's on the scene
just in case you didn't know it
My town that created all the bass sound
Enough to shake
and kick holes in the ground
'Cause my style's like a chemical spill
Feasible rhymes you can vision and feel
Conducted and formed,
this is a hell of a concept
We make it hype and you want to step
With this, Shay plays on the fade
Slice like a ninja, cut like a razor blade
So fast other DJ's say, "Damn!"
lf my rhyme was a drug
l'd sell it by the gram
Keep my composure
when it's time to get loose
Magnetized by the mic while l kick my juice
lf there was a problem, yo, l'll solve it
Check out the hook
while D-Shay revolves it
lce, lce, baby
Vanilla lce, lce, baby
Yo, man, let's get out of here
