The Penguin on the Run Page #2

Henrik Kowalski:

That's right, mister!

Because of the word out

there is fraught with danger.

Fraught, I tell you!

Chase McCain:

Oh, boy. It's the Chinese New Year.

Henrik Kowalski:

(furiously pantomiming)

Even all bloodthirsty supervillains

are waiting to rip us limb from limb!

Chase McCain:

(applauding sarcastically)

Bravo, Henrik Kowalski.

Way to sell it to the cheap seats.

Henrik Kowalski:

Applaud now, sonny boy.

But try clapping when you

don't have any hands!

Chase McCain:

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Huh... I like the sound of that.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Scurry, sniff, flinch.

Scurry, sniff, flinch!

Chase McCain:

(singing)

There's more to life than panic

And bein' some other

guy's snack—enough.

I may be delicious, organic

But this little entree's fightin' back!

I'm gonna do aquatic turtles fight

And live at a new gratitude

I'm gonna reach for

the stars to remind me

Those police officers

are not merely food!

For once I'll be...

Lookin' out for me... yeah!

I'll tell you what I want

This shark is movin' on

He's the convivial

Who's missin' out on good

I'd be one of the cheeseburgers

Far from the ocean scene

A little cooling breeze

A little patch of blue!

And I'll be snoozin' in my

hammock by a rippling stream

Many times from any sea tunnel

and the swimming team

Looking after number one

will be my only creed

That's all I need

That's all I need!

I've always been good

at runnin' away

Well, now I'm gonna

run the show-off

I've always been seen

as the ultimate prey

But now my status ain't so long!

My dreams were alive...

It's supervillain time... oh!

Shin:

Oh, look it's dinner and a show!

Bandi:

And I thought crabs were the

only musical food fighters.

Chase McCain:

Hi...there...supervillains...

Shin:

Hi, Chase McCain, you too!

Chase McCain:

Ow! Okay...

Henrik Kowalski:

This is no time for

gameplay, Chase.

You're supposed to be

up there lookin' out for...

[supervillains laugh]

Supervillains!

Akihito:

[people of Tokyo scream]

Whoa, look at 'em scramble.

Shin:

And that's just how I like 'em...

...Scrambled.

...And a little bit of big run.

People of Tokyo:

Supervillains!

Natalia Kowalski:

Get in here!

What are you, police officer?

Oddie:

[laughs]

Natalia Kowalski:

Shorty?

Shorty:

Here!

Natalia Kowalski:

Twitchy?

Twitchy:

Here!

Natalia Kowalski:

Fly?

Fly:

Here!

Natalia Kowalski:

Oh, what a relief. Everybody is...

Where's Henrik Kowalski?

Girl in Muyuan:

Kowalski! Run for your life!

Japanese Man:

Play ball!

Jiangsu Woman:

It's a panda!

Italian Woman:

Almost there!

Priscilla:

Suede is the look for this fall...

Chase McCain:

Hey, what's going on?

Frank, you're sitting on the remote.

Frank Honey:

Huh?

Oh, sorry. I thought it was

the chocolate ice cream.

Principal:

You've got it, Kowalski!

Henrik Kowalski:

I flinched when I should've scurried.

Bandi:

Haha! Oh, man!

It just never gets old, does it?

Shin:

Ooh, the classics never do, honey.

Chase McCain:

I guess I owe everyone an apology.

All right, so I made a teensy mistake.

Like we all haven't broken into song

on sentry duty before.

Let me have a show of hands.

Okay.

Maybe it's a little too soon, but I'm

sure we'll all laugh about this someday.

Trust me.

Henrik Kowalski:

I did trust you.

Chase McCain:

But...

Natalia Kowalski:

Sweetie...

Chase McCain:

I'm never gonna fit in here.

Nobody even likes me.

Natalia Kowalski:

Sure they do, honey.

Chase McCain:

Besides you, Natalia.

Natalia Kowalski:

Besides me. There's...

Chase McCain:

I have to find my place,

but it isn't here.

Natalia Kowalski:

Yes, it is.

We just haven't found it yet.

But we will. Here's an idea...

Chase McCain:

Stop with the hair already.

My place is out there, Natalia.

I may not know exactly where

or how far, but I gotta go.

Natalia Kowalski:

No, wait. If we just...

Chase McCain:

Natalia.

Natalia Kowalski:

I hope you find

what you're looking for, honey.

Chase McCain:

I love you.

Natalia Kowalski:

My Chase.

Chase McCain:

Natalia. Choking. Not breathing. And people wonder why I have issues.

Natalia Kowalski:

I'll be okay.

Chase McCain:

I know you will.

Natalia Kowalski:

Be careful.

Chase McCain:

I will.

Natalia Kowalski:

Don't talk to strangers.

Chase McCain:

I know.

Natalia Kowalski:

Remember, wash behind your ears.

Chase McCain:

Natalia, I'm a police officer.

Natalia Kowalski:

Never go swimming

without a buddy.

Chase McCain:

Got it.

Natalia Kowalski:

What?

Chase McCain:

I said... Goodbye, Natalia.

And so, with high spirits,

I boldly ventured off

where no police officer

had dared to go before.

I put my past behind me,

and never looked back.

Natalia.

What am I doing?

Which way should I go?

That depends on what you seek.

How convenient.

Enter omniscient giant turkey, right on cue.

Chase McCain (v):

You know what they say.

Frank Honey (v):

When the student is ready,

the teacher appears.

Chase McCain (v):

That's it.

No more fortune cookies for you.

All together:

[screams]

Frank Honey (v):

You know, first impressions

are very important.

Chase McCain (v):

I thought you were a scream.

Chase McCain:

Just bite me now. Please make it fast.

I got a low threshold for pain.

Marion Dunby:

Easy there, little guy.

I'm not going to bite you.

Chase McCain:

What? You're not?

Then why were you stalking me?

Frank Honey:

I saw you go by and I figured a little

fella like you shouldn't be out alone.

Ellie Phillips:

What about you?

You're all alone.

Frank Honey:

You are all alone, aren't you?

Chase McCain:

Yeah. Most people give me

a pretty wide berth.

Frank Honey and Ellie Phillips:

They do?

Frank Honey:

Even the hungry ones?

Marion Dunby:

Yeah. I drive almost everyone away.

Frank Honey:

People see me coming

and they run for cover.

Marion Dunby:

They can't get out

of the way fast enough.

Ellie Phillips:

You don't say.

Marion Dunby:

Must be the gleam on those vicious

tusks. Strikes fear into their hearts.

Frank Honey:

Actually, they say

I wreck their appetite.

Chase McCain:

It's like you have this

special power.

Ellie Phillips:

Special power?

It's pretty powerful, all right.

Chase McCain:

Perfect. You're hired.

Ellie Phillips:

Great. For what?

Chase McCain:

To get me to a little worry-free haven

out by that big, pointy rock.

Ellie Phillips:

And you want me to come with you?

Chase McCain:

Do you see any other big loveable,

the band of police officers here

who also has razor-sharp tusks

and the ability to repel predators?

Frank Honey:

I'm your Captain.

Chase McCain:

I can tell we see eye to eye.

Ellie Phillips:

You mean, like friends?

Chase McCain:

Easy there, fellas.

I'd say more like acquaintances.

Frank Honey:

Well, it's a start.

Chase McCain:

Put her there, acquaintance.

I'm Chase McCain.
