we've been working on this?

Sorry, we just not

carried away, you know.

Ezee was showing me the

city the Ezee way.

That's all we need,

another Ezee.

Hey, I'm not another

Ezee, I am Kai.

Got on some slack, Zoe,

he is new in town.

While you two are taking it Ezee.

The weavers and I were working.

This has been fun, but...

We gotta get back to the tour.

Shouldn't we stay and help

the nice young lady...

What's her name again?

Trust me man, the

longer we stay,

the more damage we don't do.

Let's go.

I prefer defrayed. Dah...

I mean, you have to wash the worm first.

And then she says to me...

Sound not compared my voice.

And I said,

I'm a mockingbird,

I can't help it.

You're not a mockingbird. Well,

one third on my mother's side is.

Speaking of mother...

The island of milk and bunnies.

Fly away, little bird.

Just move out of the way,

so I can see this...

This fine, young falcon.

Who is your new friend?

Shake that tail on over.

My fellow, I knew it.

You brought this art to cousin.

Are those the Hurricanes?

Yeah, boy the Hurricanes.

The baddest birds in the sky,

I taught'em all my moves.

Gogo was right. They're amazing.

No, no, no, no, you're

in Zambezia now.

Here we say amazeeng. Try it.

Ama... amaz... Amazeeng.

There's hope for you

yet, my fellow.

- Hold on, hold on.

- Always going to...

- Gathering, chats.

- Nigel, that includes you.

Beaks closed, ears open.

Friends, wanderers, Marabou's...

When there Zambezians Flocked

together, they created an inside...

- Inside.

- And an outside.

- Outside.

- And, if you haven't noticed...

- We are on the outside.

- Here we are.

In the cold, lonely, desolate, outside.

Frigid Africa.

- And why?

- I don't know. It's a mystery.

Because they didn't

like the look of us.

And what is wrong with

what we look like?

- They just want all the tree house all to themselves.

- How sporty is that?

- Very sporty.

- Not very.

No, terrible. Not

very in my book.

Which is precisely why we should

accept Budzo's proposition.

Since when a Marabou's servant to a lizard.

He's got a point.

We'll be working with Budzo, thick-head.

Not for him.

We are partners in

this great endeavor.

Yes, teamwork.

We help Budzo get on the

island, we share...

Lovely goodies.

Yes, I'm getting hungry

just thinking about it.

Question. Could there

Hurricanes be a problem?

Hurricanes? Ja...

Don't make him laugh.

Budzo possesses unrivaled

brute strength.

So with his help.

A new wind will blow

across this valley.

A wind of change.

Good shot. Give us another.

Take it.

- Fellows, fellows, fellows.

- Useless.

Is that door regulation size?

I swear it getting smaller.

Hurricanes ready. So how do

you get to be a Hurricane?

Man, Haven't you seen all those posters?

They're everywhere.

What posters? These.

Man, I was supposed to put'em up.

Hurricane trials are to... today?

Where? It's on the..

southwest platform...

Man, just take a poster.

You'll make it if you hurry...

Tell'em Ezee sent you.

You know what, don't even

tell them you know me.

You may not mention

my name at all.

Just forget about it. Oh, nuts.

And that rookies, is the race course.

Know it well.

I told you he wouldn't come.

He's too busy to taking it ezee.

Racers ready. Not

that busy apparently.

Civilian, this is

restricted area.

Hurricanes and new

recruits only.

But that's why I'm here, to try out. Look, my name is Kai.

I don't have your name on my list.

Can you just put it on there?

No, no, no, no, I'm sorry.

The rules state that there can be no

new entries, after the appointed...

Look at that, just in time. Lucky

for you, I like punctuality.

Get in line.

You have to make all the way

through the course and back.

Failure to do so results in, failure.

On your marks.

On your mark. Get set, proceed.

And there they go.

And with a hard break to the first gate

they move to the first straight way.

Gondo, streaks ahead the pack.

Coming up next, is my personal

favorite, the brand new Chicane.

Excuse me.

Gondo still in the lead.

And now, here comes the

intermisive tornado tunnel trial.

That's my fellow.

Come on, Kai.

They're going into

the vertical ramp.

The first one is, Kai.

The little falcon. I can not believe it.

Where did he come from?

Yes.

You've made the cap rookie.

Your movements are unorthodox.

You improvise, you think outside

the box, I don't like that.

But you can be proud to be a Hurricane.

Trainee.

Trainee? I'm not a Hurricane?

Now, that's the spirit.

It's gonna take a lot more

than one little race...

To become a fully

fledged member...

Of the most elite flying

force in the world.

Well done, Kai. We have great

hopes for you, young falcon.

I will not let you down, sir.

Me? No, Kai. Don't

let Zambezia down.

Zambezia always comes first.

Always remember that.

I've got my eye on you, hot rod.

We go on Marabou patrol at dawn.

You better get some sleep.

Trainees sleep... down there.

Come on. Get up.

Budzo. Comfortable, old friend?

It's nice to see

a familiar face.

You know, to be honest, you

look a little stressed.

I left Zambezia long ago.

I just want to get

my son and go home.

I'm no threat to you.

There's still some

fight left in you.

I can see it, even

if you can not.

Which is good, you'll need it.

You're about to be of great use.

We've got a report of

Marabou's activity upriver.

We will be patrolling sector six over

here and sector seven over there.

Apparently there's a

large swamp over here.

No that's a stain.

Who've got a stain on my map?

We will our eyes focused

and our ears peeled.

No, I mean, eyes

peeled and our ears...

Where they should be?

Give up.

Stay sharp, Hurricanes.

Can we be of assistance, madam? My Neville,

my Neville is floating down the river.

Oh, no, no. I'd advise against

that dangerous currents.

Why I can't catch up to him.

I am obliged...

By city codes of Zambezia...

To ask permission before

rescuing a minor.

What? He is not a minor,

he is my husband.

Hurricanes, rescue mission.

Rookie, rookie. That's

not the right direction.

One crocodile, two crocodile,

three crocodile...

Six crocodile, seven crocodile,

eight crocodile... got you.

Thank heavens. If you ever

do that to me again...

Hug me. Snogly.

Good news, hah?

He drop down the blue like a rock.

The rookie is got skills.

You gotta teach me that move.

Attention.

Just keeping your voice on your throat.

Coming through, coming through.

Hey, my fellow. This is my boy.

The star of the sky, right here.

Take out high, beak squeak. Hey,

where's old captain, stick in the mud?

Do you have a license for this party?

The music isn't regulation.

And the fun zone is located

behind the yellow line.

Ezikiel, what are

you doing here?

I'm with him, sir. Really?

Rookie, is this your... friend?

Evacuation Procedures.

Come on, my fellows.

Don't look me like this?

Ezee comes, Ezee goes.

Birds of a feather from every nation,
