We're under attack.
You think? I'm all over it.
Okay. A, love the initiative.
Don't lose that.
But B, Jack would never sign off on us
shooting them with poison darts
to be picked apart by rabid warthogs.
I find, in moments like these,
it's best to ask...
[ARBIE CHIRPING]
Come on!
We ready?
ls Mission No Circus for Selkie a go?
Give us a speech, fearless leader.
Oh. [STUTTERS]
I'm not.
I mean, I don't know what to say.
Except that Selkie makes a much
better friend than sideshow act.
And those guys won't stop
until they've put everything
that crawls, flies and swims in a cage.
I don't know how things work
on the mainland,
but we don't stand for
that kind of thing here.
I say we put them in a cage.
Yeah! Cage them!
BEN:
Now I know whyyou're so grumpy, Frankie.
Being ugly hurts.
[SELKIE GROANING]
Oh, now, look at that. See, Frankie?
Even the dumb seal knows
it's important to keep fit.
BOOKER:
Hey, Frankie.Bad enough you lost my keys, but how
long does it take to hotwire a boat?
Any longer we'll be peddling
a seal carcass to the Russkies.
They're not going to fall
for that trick again.
[KEYS JINGLING]
[SQUAWKS]
Why would a bird want keys?
See, those are Dad's keys.
I made that keychain myself.
Ripped the tooth out of the shark
that got your mom.
That's what happens to animals
who mess with Booker and son.
Sons.
Shut up, Frankie, you'll scare him.
[ARBIE SQUAWKS]
I thought we didn't
want any lorikeets?
FRANKIE:
Don't overthink it, Ben.BEN:
Dad, these trees keep hitting me!FRANKIE:
You keep running into them,dummy. Open your eyes.
BEN:
They are open! Stupid bees.BOOKER:
Quiet, Frankie!What'd I say about spooking the bird?
BEN:
Yeah, we're losingthe element of surprise.
[ARBIE CHIRPING]
[LORIKEETS CHIRPING LOUDLY]
[FARTING NOISES]
[ALL EXCLAIMING IN SURPRISE]
Phase One complete.
Oh!
Why couldn't we have kept that bird
in the cage when we had the chance?
Shut up, Frankie!
[ALL EXCLAIMING IN PAIN]
Why'd the stupid lorikeet
have to fly down the path
with the pooping birds
and the angry leaves?
Yeah.
Why don't you two guys go on ahead?
Selk, you in here?
She has to be close by.
Wait. I can't leave them here.
Not again.
This might work better.
What?
I play a lot of video games.
FELIX:
That's right,bring them to Papa Bear.
Papa's got claws now.
- Come on!
- [CHIRPING]
Why are you so smug?
You're supposed to lead them
into the quicksand.
Felix was right!
Liquid nitrogen is so useful!
NIM:
So is my old-schoolmachete.
BEN:
Where'd the bird go?Forget the bird. We've got these.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, Frankie, look.
It's the nerd from the net.
You're gonna have a very different name
for me when I get through with you.
Like Felix the Ferocious.
Feral Felix. No! The Frightful Felix.
- Quicksand!
- What?
Quicksand!
Move your foot!
Get ready to have sand in
all the wrong places, boys.
[BOTH EXCLAIMING IN FEAR]
Guess that's the last time you'll mess
with a marine biologist
with a focus in psychology.
Thanks for the backup,
but I totally had the situation covered.
EDMUND:
Selkie!NIM:
Selkie! Selkie!EDMUND:
Selk![SELKIE GROANS]
Selkie.
- Nim! Nim!
- [SNUFFLING]
Nim, I've found her.
[SELKIE GROANING]
She's overheated.
We have to get her to the water.
EDMUND:
How?I know I'm stronger than I look,
but even I can't carry her.
NIM:
Can you drive that?But Arbie has the keys.
No, Arbie has the keychain.
Go, go, go!
Keep going!
Almost there.
Straighten out, Edmund! Into the bay!
NIM:
Two more hours of daylight.Ready to get out there with your camera?
- Can we nap first?
- No time.
Operation No Circus for Selkie
was an unmitigated success,
but the Buccaneers
will be here tomorrow.
First we'll head back
to the grasslands for the Bilby.
Nim.
Push play.
direct eye contact with the Bilby.
A ferocious creature,
they're known for shocking people
to death with adorableness.
You sneak!
That means we only need one more.
I know just where to look,
but Jack won't like it.
Nim!
Nim!
Nim? You up there?
Where are you?
Sorry, Jack, but it's the only way.
What'd you say?
- Felix?
- You're back?
And, sir, gotta say the new look is...
Felix, where's Nim?
- [CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
- Felix, where is she?
See, I was supposed to
watch these poachers here while...
- Poachers?
- Cormorant Cliffs.
If you want me to resign my post I will,
but I've come to learn
how to embrace the chaos of life!
Use your arms and your legs!
You're doing great!
The sharp rocks below are more
scared of you than you are of them!
EDMUND:
Why would you bring upsharp rocks at a time like this?
NIM:
Come on, Edmund.Where's your sense of humour?
[EDMUND GROANS]
I'm too crippled by fear to laugh.
NIM:
Okay, watch out forJust think, the climb down
is going to be much easier.
The sun will be setting,
the bats will be out.
It'll be beautiful!
Oh!
[EDMUND GRUNTING]
- You're heavier than you look.
- Thanks.
I've been trying to fill out
so I can play football next year.
Sorry.
Seems like I'm always
messing up your big plans.
No, this wouldn't be
half as much fun without you.
This is fun?
EDMUND:
Are you sure there aren'tany endangered species
who live in nice, safe,
low to ground places?
Okay.
Let's, uh... Let's lure this iguana out
for its close-up.
I mean, a week ago baiting iguanas
with candy would have
seemed crazy to me.
What was so different a week ago?
Well, I was planning
my adventure on your island,
not living it.
There are lots of places you could
have run away to for an adventure.
Yeah, I know, but this
island has everything.
Friendly natives, angry poachers,
terrifying cliffs.
Why run away at all?
I had to get away from my parents.
Why would you want to do that?
Uh...
Well, they fight.
All the time.
Dad lost his business
and Mum's afraid
of what's going to happen to us.
I was tired of feeling totally useless.
Sol left.
Which I know is stupid,
because they're probably beyond worried
about me, but...
Edmund,
I don't think you're useless or stupid.
I think you're...
I'm...
Nim Rusoe, you've just found
your first Fijian Crested Iguana.
That's three species. The island's safe.
- How did it?
- it's a defence mechanism.
We must have scared it.
Sorry, little guy.
[ROCKS CLATTERING]
Hey! Stop it!
There's an endangered species down here!
Funny, I see three endangered species.
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
There's nowhere to hide out there.
Come on. Come on.
It just keeps getting
smaller and smaller.
Are you okay?
[PANTING] You know
how you feel about heights?
That's how I feel about tight,
cramped spaces.
Really?
This is roomy compared
to my place in Brisbane.
Stop trying to be funny! We're trapped.
Which is exactly what
