The Penguins of Madagascar: Operation - DVD Premiere Page #4

---

I chose a top-secret location,

at which I buried the top-secret plan.

A remote area of the zoo...

...where no human or animal ever goes.

Until, of course,

they complete construction

- of the new Children's Zoo.

- What?

That's where the Children's Zoo

is going to be.

- Groundbreaking is today.

- Blast!

We only have four hours

until the Big One.

- We need those plans.

- Perhaps a diversion.

lt's Live at Five's Chuck Charles!

From the telly!

We're here live at the

Central Park Zoo for the groundbreaking

of the new Children's Zoo.

There's our diversion.

I'm going in.

- Do you think Skipper needs back up?

- Our Skipper?

- Skipper?

- Awaiting orders.

- Oh, boy.

- We must get him out of there!

What should we do?

Commence Operation...

get Skipper out of the locked van?

The name needs work, but let's do it!

What was that?

You were supposed to catch me.

No, we were supposed to pick the lock.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

- Skipper!

- OK. Who hid my hair spritz?

Hey, what happened in here?

- Are you all right, Skipper?

- Get out of my shot.

This is Chuck Charles,

with your late breaking local news.

ls he talking to the wall?

Something horrible

happened inside that news van.

I wonder...

Theoretically, it's possible

the electrical receptors

inside Skipper's brain

picked up the signals from that van

and reprogrammed his functional sensors

to mimic the patterns of behavior

- shown on the broadcasts.

- You mean?

Yes. I think we can safely say that

Skipper is stricken with Anchormanesia.

I'm Chuck Charles and

we're your Live at Five news team.

Gil Force with weather.

Scooter Alvarez on sports.

And, as always,

my co-anchor Bonnie Chang.

Bonnie Chang?

But the Big One is coming!

We still need those plans!

And, even if we get the plans,

we still need Skipper to be Skipper.

All right.

I will randomly combine liquids

and powders until I find a cure!

This could take awhile.

I'm with the Live at Five

news team here on the scene.

You are a penguin.

- How's that weekend forecast, Gil?

- I'm Private.

Look, I waddle. And you waddle, too.

Because you're a...

Chuck Charles, and I know the news.

Look!

Penguins swim.

Well, Gil, looks like another wet...

...and that's the news.

- Status report?

- Still Chuck Charles.

And the Anchormanesia cure

is a bit behind schedule.

We only have one hour!

Yeah. I need at least 7,000. Years.

Don't worry, Rico. Skipper's...

...gone?

Here's your Live at Five

exclusive interview with...

King Julien.

Yes, but you can call me King Julien.

Do you have any comment

about the rumors?

- What rumors?

- Don't play coy.

We all know what they're saying

about your royal family.

Lies! All lies!

This interview is over.

And we're... out.

- Fantastic interview.

- Well, thank you.

Care for some fruit?

lt is tasty and nice.

Except maybe the grapes.

I'm not 100 percent on those.

Could your grapes be poisoning you?

Find out at five.

And we're... out.

News I can use.

- Let's not be running off.

- Chuck Charles has a...

The technical term

for our situation is ''doneski.''

Bonnie, are you doing something

different with your hair? I like it!

Skipper would want us

to go get those plans.

But how can we

do that when Skipper...

Now over to Scooter Alvarez

with the highlights and the lowlights.

I am not Scooter Alvarez!

I don't even know

what a Scooter Alvarez is!

OK. We're just going to have to...

to do it without him.

- But...

- I know. But what choice do we have?

Skipper would want us

to carry on without him.

Keep an eye on Scooter.

He's not quite himself today.

No, I'm here with those scores

or my name's not Scooter Alvarado.

- Alvarez.

- Exactly.

OK. We're going to

go out for awhile, Chuck.

So you just stay here

in the... studio.

According to the map,

we should be digging... over there.

With all this construction,

there are too many witnesses.

- Must think.

- What would Skipper do?

Precariously perch himself

high atop the crane?

I don't see how that would help.

Oh, it won't.

But that is what Skipper's doing.

This is your Live at Five

Eye in the Sky.

- He is not making this easy.

- Easy?

Was it easy for Manfredi and Johnson

when that undersea escape tunnel

turned out to be the business end

of a beluga whale?

- They couldn't even speak for a month.

- And even then, it was gibberish.

So if this is going to be hard,

that's fine with me.

- Yeah.

- Let's do this thing!

And all other things required of us.

Can you describe to the folks at home

how you're feeling right now?

You heard it here first.

This is Chuck Charles reporting.

Do I connect

the red one to the blue one...

...or the blue one to the red one?

I dunno.

That's the sort of thing

Skipper would normally decide.

Be honest with me.

Do you like my good side...

or my even better side?

But there isn't

anything normal about this.

Perhaps if I bypass the...

Stop!

I see the plans!

Come on, we have to hurry!

- Got it!

- Yes!

Yes! What did we do?

How should I know who moved the dozer?

Our top story:
Chuck Charles

and the news team get buried alive.

Well, at least we saved

the top-secret plans.

Although it might have been preferable

to not be buried alive with them.

Yes, Rico, it is just about four-ish.

Then we'd better check out

Skipper's top-secret plan.

What?

ls the team ready

for the Big One? We shall see.

- Afraid not.

- But what is it?

Some sort of natural disaster?

You might think it might be

some sort of natural disaster,

but you'd be wrong!

No, the Big One is the

greatest challenge of all.

What happens if

one member of the team is out?

What if we didn't have

young Private's heart,

or Kowalski's brains or Rico's

appetite for reckless destruction?

- I dunno!

- I suppose that would be bad.

Or what if the team leader

were inexplicably

acting like a pompous anchorman?

What if, indeed?

Yes. What if...

Hang on... You were faking it!

- Bingo.

- lt was all a test?

And the team came through! Huzzah!

- We're ready for the Big One!

- Yes, we are.

We are also running out of oxygen.

Kowalski, give me options.

Rico sets an

explosive charge under this,

blasting it straight up

through the dirt and rock.

- And we all hang onto it.

- Sounds like a wild ride. Rico?

I don't get how a bulldozer

just turns on by itself.

- We did it!

- We kicked Big One butt!

And we're... out!

Clock's tickin', boys.

We're going undercover.

- Can we wear wigs?

- Kowalski.

Right.

Hit it!

Cute and cuddly, boys!

Feed the penguins! Two bucks!

Animals.

- Now, Skipper?

- Not yet, Private.

You gotta play hard to get.

Make 'em beg for it.

- Over here!

- Hey, penguins!

Entertain me!

I'm beginning to sense

restless hostility from the crowd.

- We're gonna lose them.

- OK. Commence adorable hijinks.

Go, go, go!

Executing waddle with odd, but somehow

strangely endearing body shakes.

Pretending to lose my balance

and face-plant into the pool... now!
