at her job, Olympia.

You must be proud.

I know.

Sometimes I wish she wasn't

so good at her job,

if it meant she got to spend

more time with me.

- Oh! You have lemmings.

- Mm-hmm.

The smallest animals

in the Arctic.

Can I?

They're very instinctive.

They know a good person.

Hmm, so let's see.

You're approximately 500 kilograms,

exact skull and nose proportions.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I only weigh 194 pounds,

just like the average American male.

Please, I know exactly

what you're doing, Norm.

You're saving the Arctic, your home.

So I'm thinking,

maybe we can work together.

And you can save my home

in the process.

Like you and me. I tell ya!

There's nothing to--

Be honest.

What's your plan here?

Well, Mr. Greene wants

to use me to sell the Arctic,

and I'm gonna use the Arctic

to save it.

Exactly.

You have to rally the public

so that they love you,

wait for your moment

and turn them against Greene.

Use his own plan to defeat him.

But the key is to make sure

you time your moment just right,

when the public

loves you the most.

The approval rating!

I'll get it as high as possible,

and then I'll strike.

Olympia, you really are a genius.

My mom's not the only one

who studied marketing.

So ladies and gentlemen,

we have an unusual guest today

who is here to tell us about

his home, the Arctic,

and how you can make it

your home, too.

Without further ado,

Norm of the North!

Whoo! So, Norm, you're here

for a very special mission.

Would you like to tell us

what it is?

Uh, um... l-- I, uh--

Ladies and gentlemen,

I think our furry friend's a little nervous.

Well, let's loosen him up

with a clip of some

of his most recent heroics.

I'm warning you.

You know, if we're not helping each other,

I mean, what are we here for,

you know?

Aww...

"What are we here for?"

We're here to sell condos!

Talk about Greene Homes!

What a jerk.

What can I say?

Norm, the public loves you.

Hey, Tamecia. What do you say

we take this party to a bigger stage?

Just keep your eyes on me, I said,

"You're holding back"

She said,

"Shut up and dance with me!"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,

shut up and dance!"

Don't you dare look back,

just keep your eyes on me

I said,

"You're holding back"

This woman is my destiny,

she said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo"...

- Now?

- No. Not yet.

"Shut up and dance with me!"

Oh, come on girl!

Don't you dare look back,

just keep your eyes on me

I said,

"You're holding back"

She said,

"Shut up and dance with me!"

This woman is my destiny

She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,

shut up and dance with me!"

"Ooh-ooh-hoo,

shut up and dance with me!"

Norm! Norm! Norm!

85%!

Look at Norm! He's famous!

Norm's fame has helped our cause,

but it isn't enough, Greene.

I can't get this through

until Norm publicly says,

"Norm of the North supports

Greene Homes in the Arctic."

Make sure he does it

or you're done.

This is it, Norm. You did it.

The public loves you.

And you know what that means?

You're right, Olympia.

It's time to save our homes.

How long can it take

to get into a costume?

I don't think he liked the outfit.

Norm, can you please come out?

I think I just did.

Okay, lemmings.

We got one shot at this.

It's showtime. We do this,

and then we go get Grandpa.

Get up and show a little attitude

Beats bangin', feel the bass

Just turn around

and shake, shake, shake

X Dance, dance, dance

Out of control,

you're out of control

Dance, dance, dance,

just let...

Yay, Norm!

SO someone somewhere

thought it was a good idea

to build in the Arctic.

That someone is our "friend,"

Mr. Greene.

I just wanted to let you

all know the truth

about what this would mean

for my home.

Norm of the North supports

Greene Homes in the Arctic.

Norm! Norm! Norm! Norm! Norm!

Ha ha! Norm, we did it.

I'm on with my architect.

We're figuring out where to put

the first Arctic frozen yogurt shop.

Your announcement

has been reposted a million times!

No, your announcement

was reposted a million times.

I had something I needed to say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Four homes pre-sold,

and already built.

Mr. Greene, you can't sell the homes yet.

We don't have approval

from the Council. it's illegal.

Aw, I'm wittle Vee-wa.

I'm scared of po-weece.

Guess what, toots.

I'm above the law.

Welcome to the cold, hard world

of "big bidness."

You sound just like the investors.

"Uh, duh, it has to be done

correctly, Greene,

with integrity."

Please. Wake up and smell the profits.

Not to mention that after

Norm of the North's announcement today,

approval is a guarantee.

Norm, come back!

Don't be a diva.

Vera, get my lawyer.

We're gonna copyright that roar

and make it a ringtone.

Hey, it's Norm of the North!

You're the king!

I'm Norm of the North,

king of nothing.

I came to save my home.

I ended up destroying it.

Norm, your grandpa once told me,

"Norm's the only bear

that has the potential to be...

King of the Arctic."

Hey, Norm. Norm!

Why don't you come over for dinner?

I'd rather be alone right now, Vera.

Please, just leave me be.

Norm, why are you so down?

You were great!

The campaign was a success.

Everyone loves you.

Don't you get it, Vera?

Because of me,

Mr. Greene is gonna destroy my home.

I think you're taking this polar bear act

a little too far, Norm.

Come on. Olympia would love it

if you came over.

Olympia...?

Dinner with a genius? Mm, I'm in.

You wouldn't happen to know where

I can get some ice water, huh?

You know, so I can freshen up a little bit?

For dinner.

Ooh. You okay?

Ah!

It's humble, but it's home.

You should see my place.

No furniture,

but I do get year-round

air conditioning.

Whoo-hoo!

Thanks, Mrs. Soo.

Mommy, you're home early.

How was school today?

Scintillating, as usual.

Olympia's just not really

challenged at her current school.

That's why Magister Mundi

will be so great.

All the students are like Olympia.

I actually think Olympia

and myself are a lot alike.

We're both special.

We have great gifts.

Two peas in a pod.

Besties.

Anyway, Mommy,

I was researching the effects

of human activity in the Arctic,

and the research is irrefutable.

It will destroy the Arctic

and possibly the rest of the Earth

as we know it.

Olympia, Greene Homes will bring

awareness to the Arctic.

Olympia, let's you and I go hang out

on that comfortable-looking sofa.

Vera, it's official. Just got word.

The Polar Council is a yes!

Oh, okay.

Make the announcement tomorrow.

Time to go public.

We're in. We got approval.

Well, don't all scream at once.

It's not over yet, Norm.

You can still do something.

Shake it up.

Hit Mr. Greene where it hurts,

his wallet.

Where do you think

the investors are right now?

Ha ha. Great job, everyone.

Great job.

It was amazing.

Oh, thanks, guys!

I've got to get Pablo and the investors

to uninvest in Greene.

- Norm!

- Norm!

Aah!

Whoa!

Hi, guys. I'm sorry for just
