Oddball and the Penguins Page #6

to make it right.

Is Oddball alright?

He sure is, sweetheart.

Me and Jack are gonna get him

back on the island.

Besides,

we should be celebrating.

Today on the island, I saw

a little fella called Pocket

with his sweet little

lady friend.

- During the day?

- Mm-hm.

- But that means eggs!

- Eggs.

There could be eggs.

Dad, the review counts eggs

the same as penguins.

Uh, YUP-

Alright, what's the plan?

Look, an open window.

OK, I see it.

It's stuck.

- Grandad.

- What?

You'll never fit through there.

You'll have to lift me in.

No, no, no. I can't let you

go through there on your own.

I'll open the door

once I'm in there for you.

- I'll be fine.

- No.

I'll be fine.

Alright.

- Stiff as a board.

- Yep...

- Arms forward.

- Yep.

I've gotta be honest, kid,

this is not my proudest day

as a grandfather.

Oh!

Livvie. Be careful.

I Will. I'll be right back.

I'm pretty sure this is

the opposite of fine.

Here.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

I'm not... I can't do guns.

- They're only darts.

- OK.

Um, just so you know, I...

- I really appreciate this.

- Right.

Oh!

Oh! Oh, my God.

I'm so sorry! It just went off!

- Are you alright?

- It's alright, it's alright.

It's just...

It's not a strong dose.

It's just enough to take down

a small animal.

Jack? Jack, are you OK?

You're

a worrywart. Do you know that?

Oh. No, no, no.

- Are we flying?

- Jack, listen to me.

We should fly to the island.

Jack?

Livvie!

I'm going to hell for this.

Whoa!

Oi, I know something

you don't know.

Come on, Jack.

You've gotta help me out.

I know something

that you don't know.

You're so pretty!

Wow. Just... get your legs in.

Good boy.

Get off me! Get off me!

Ah! Ahh! Not the ears!

Not the ears!

'Hyah! "Oh!"

"No! " Go, Oddy!

Stop! Stay! Cease! Desist!

Hurry, Oddy!

This way.

- Oddball!

- Jump in!

- Oddball!

- We'll have to chase after him.

- Seatbelt!

- Hurry! Hurry!

Oddball is such a good dog!

He brought us together

like this, you and me.

No. No, no!

- Oh, dammit.

- Oh, pretty lights!

Boogie, boogie, boogie.

I've got to boogie...

Jack.

You've gotta be really...

Jack. Jack, Jack. Shh, shh.

- Oh, you... you shush.

- No, no, you.

- You've gotta be... No!

- You shush, man. You shush.

Oh, gosh, it's Sergeant Gosch.

Can you keep your foot

down off...?

Stop. Stop it.

Alright.

- Hi.

- Evening, Emily.

Hey, fellas.

I had you on the naughty side

of the speed limit.

I think you should step out

of the truck.

I think I probably should.

- Look!

- Where? I see him.

We've gotta get out there.

Tide's coming in.

It's not going to get

any lower if we wait.

What's going on?

- Oh, Jack! Are you alright?

- Yeah. Never better, man.

- What's up with him?

- She shot me with a tranq gun.

- You shot him with a tranq gun?

- I didn't mean to.

- Oh, that'll make it hurt less.

- Guys, look.

- No, it was an accident, Dad.

- Dropping an egg is an accident.

- This is extreme.

- Guys, look! Look!

- Livvie! Livvie!

- Stop where you are!

- Wait for us, Livvie!

- Don't go any deeper!

Ooh!

- Stop! Stop, Olivia!

- Just stay there!

Get down from

the roof of the vehicle!

You get down from the roof

of the vehicle!

- Get down from there!

- You get down from there!

I am... Has everyone

lost their mind?

Oi, someone's trying

to kill penguins.

Get the light on them,

and get it together, Jack!

Livvie, just stay there!

Please wait for us, Olivia!

And I have a gentleman

on the roof of his vehicle

under the influence.

- Nice bottom, Sergeant Gosch.

- Requesting backup.

Hurry up!

- Bradley, stop!

- Oddy, get out of there!

Oddy!

- Stay back!

- Zoe?

Stay away!

I've got your precious

penguin egg.

Lucky number 10. Am I right?

Wait, Zoe,

just... take it easy.

Now, there's no need

for this to go any further.

Oh, give it a rest,

it's your fault I'm here

- in the first place, OK?

- What?

These annoying penguins,

they were finished, alright?

- It was time to...

- Whoa!

Pop some champagne

and watch some whales.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Whoa! Zoe!

Livvie! Livvie, wait.

Livvie, no!

You still don't get it,

do you, Emily?

Typical.

How long have you known me?

And you have no idea

that Rich is my boyfriend?

- Rich, the whale watcher?

- And what's wrong with that?

Well, it's just

an unusual... pairing.

Zoe, please, just...

put the egg down.

OK. Fine.

NO!

- Livvie, wait!

- Zoe!

- Livvie, come back!

- Get off me!

Argh! Oh!

Hold her down!

- NO!

- Oh!

- NO! NO!

- Emily, no!

Good luck getting that back.

Stop!

Ouch!

Alright, come on.

Arms behind your back.

- Ow, my arm!

- Settle down.

That egg is as good as gone.

- It is over!

- Shh! Shh!

Wait a sec. Where's Oddball?

- Oddy!

- No, Oddball! Careful.

- No!

- Careful, mate.

- Slow and steady, boy.

- Whoa!

Easy, easy.

He's right, he's right.

Careful.

That's it. Easy, easy. Steady.

- Nice and steady.

- That's it.

- That's it.

- Take it easy.

- Don't eat it, mate.

- Ohh!

Gentle. That's a boy.

Slow and steady.

That's it.

Alright. That's good.

- OK, come on.

- Good boy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Ta... Take it easy, mate.

- Slow and steady, mate.

- Careful, Oddy.

- Slow and steady.

- Good boy.

That's it.

Good boy! Come on, up you come!

Give him some room.

- Come on, boy.

- That's it, that's it.

- Steady. Steady.

- Steady.

- That's a boy.

- Now, drop. Drop it.

- Give it to Livvie.

- Good boy!

- You did it, mate.

- Good boy!

Do you really think one

egg is going to...-

Ow! Jack!

- Ooh.

- Jack?

These things really do

just go off, don't they?

Hi, little ones.

- Gentle.

- There you go.

Thanks, love.

Watch your head

as you enter the vehicle.

Excuse me, mate.

Do not lick the window!

Don't!

No!

Hi. Mmm.

- You're OK?

- Yeah.

Just cold and wet,

but we'll be alright.

Um, listen, Bradley...

about New York, I...

I can't. This is my home.

I kinda figured.

- You did?

- Yeah.

This place, it suits you.

Not me.

I, uh... decided

to quit my job.

- Wow.

- Yeah.

I miss my home.

It's been a while.

- Take care of those penguins.

- Yeah, I will.

I have

the official penguin count.

The official penguin population

of Middle Island is...

nine penguins.

- And one 699'-

- And one 699'-!

- How good's this guy?

- Ten!

The sanctuary stays open!

- We did it!

- Yeah!

- Whoo!

- Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

Well done.

- I have to just...

- Yeah, I know.

I'll be... I'll be back.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Oddy, come back.

You did good, mate.

You did really good.

Hey, Oddy.

You did it, Dad.

I'm proud of you.

Nah. We all did it.

That's what I'm proud of.

- Oh!

- Oddy!

Oddball!

Oddy!

Oddy. Come over here, boy.

Come on, mate.

That's my boy.

Come on. Up you come.

That's my boy.

Good fella.
