Valiant Page #6

Synopsis: Set in 1944, Valiant is a woodland pigeon who wants to become a great hero someday. When he hears they are hiring recruits for the Royal Homing Pigeon Service, he immediately sets out for London. On the way, he meets a smelly but friendly pigeon named Bugsy, who joins him, mainly to get away from clients he cheated in a game of find-the pebble, and helps him sign up for the war.

[Von T alon laughs]

Oh, I am magnificent.

Of course, you can have as many

capes as you like, General.

- They're coming.

- Huh?

Oh!

Get him! Stop him!

- What's going on?

- Bugsy!

Oh, yes! Brilliant!

Come on. Last chance.

Get up. Get up!

Oh.

Yuck! What is that repulsive odor?

Ahem! Not to rush you or anything.

We gotta go. Come on!

[Mercury] Well done, my lad.

- You're from Squad A, right?

- It's a long story.

- I'll tell you later.

- [grunting]

Come on.

[growling]

You idiots!

- [shouting] Yeah!

- Valiant!

[Gutsy] Bugsy, Mercury.

- [whooping]

- We did it!

- Valiant, you made it.

- Well done.

- [Lofty] My dear chap.

- And the message?

Oh, yes, sir.

Safe and sound. [hiccups]

- Good man.

- Thank you, sir.

Right, lads.

We have a message to deliver.

Let's make wind.

Those falcons are gonna think twice

before they try to mess with us.

- [cackling]

- Enemy fliers.

Toughwood, Tailfeather,

figure of eight.

- Disperse.

- Yes, sir.

- [growling]

- [whooping]

[pigeons laughing]

Well done.

Come on, lads.

Attack formation.

Valiant, complete the mission.

You know where to go.

[Gutsy] Keep it tight, now.

Let's go, chaps.

Come on.

[shouting]

[chuckling]

[buoy bell ringing]

[panting]

You look tired, little bird.

Wouldn't you like a rest...

in my belly?

So... [laughing]

...you are the elite, huh?

The best of the best? [laughing]

There's more to me

than meets your eye.

Ahh!

I hope I'm gonna make it.

I think I'm gonna make it.

I'm going to make it.

- [laughing]

- [shrieking]

You can't escape me, pigeon.

No!

- [snarling]

- [screaming]

# What do you do

with a drunken sailor

# Early in the morning #

Valiant, back so soon?

And alive!

Excitable boy. [gasping]

What the... Falcon!

Sound the alarm!

Oh, my peg leg...

Sound the alarm!

- Mum!

- Valiant!

- Hi!

- [screaming]

[growling]

[cackling]

[Valiant screams]

[breathing heavily]

Hmmm.

Huh?

[gasping]

It's just you and me now, pigeon.

This is where it ends.

You are nothing

but a lowly wood pigeon.

You are no match

for a falcon ruler.

Oh, it's just as I imagined!

Pieces and shreds!

Valiant!

[grunting]

Come on. Come on, then.

- You great ugly bully!

- Leave him alone, you ugly falcon!

Come out, little birdie.

I may even spare your puny little life.

Just stay calm.

You can do this.

[growling]

Pipsqueak!

My name is not Pipsqueak.

My name is Valiant!

Oh, ow, ow, ow!

- [Mum] Valiant.

- [Felix] Good lad!

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I have a message to deliver.

[Mum] Oh, wonderful!

That's my boy!

Valiant? You've made it?

Valiant Pigeon. [panting]

Sir, I have a message to deliver.

[gagging]

- [man 1] Certainly, yes.

- [man 2] Just one moment.

Gentlemen, a change of plan.

We now land in Normandy.

- [man 1] A change of plan.

- [man 2] Normandy. Repeat: Normandy.

[fanfare]

- [cheering]

- [Sarge] Well done, son.

- This could mean promotion.

- I'm proud of you.

- You're a credit to the service.

- Thank you, sir.

- Ow!

- It's been a... I'm sorry!

Sorry, sorry.

- Valiant.

- Well done, old boy.

- I knew you'd do it.

- You little beauty.

Well done, mate.

[all] Seeds!

# Shoo, shoo, shoo, baby

- # Bye, bye, bye, baby

- Ahoy there, Valiant.

Bug juice, on the house, of course.

# Don't cry, baby

I'm the hero around here.

- I'm the hero. Do you want to see...

- Will you shut up?

I was doing all right

till you came over.

[both grunting]

- Hello, handsome.

- I say.

[singing continues]

Whoa!

- Shall we shake a tail feather?

- Certainly.

Oh, Sergeant.

Valiant, maybe you and l

could, uh...

Sorry, but I'm not available.

[clearing throat] I can't

stress enough how available I am.

# Doo-dah doo-day

- # Shoo, baby

- # Doo-dah doo-day

- # Shoo, baby

- # Shoo, shoo, shoo

# Well, I want a little bit

of quiet in the house please

# She wants a little bit

of quiet in the house

# My papa 's on his way

to cross the seven seas

# So don't you cry and don't you sigh

Goodbye now

- # Shoo, shoo baby

- # Shoo

- # Shoo, shoo, my baby

- [scatting]

# Goodbye, baby

Don't you cry no more

# Your papa 's off

# Don't cry, baby

- # Don't sigh, baby

- # Shoo, shoo, yeah

# Shoo, shoo, shoo, baby

Goodbye, goodbye

# Your papa 's off

to the seven seas

# Your big tall papa 's
