[ GEORGE ]: HERE WE ARE, IN FANTASTIC NEW YORK CITY.
LOOKS JUST AS I IMAGINED IT TOO.
WITH THE TALL BUILDINGS AND THE SKYSCRAPERS
AND THE BUSTLING CROWD AND ALL.
WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT
THAT A DAY SO PERFECT,
IN A CITY SO COOL, COULD END
IN SHEER, ABSOLUTE TERROR.
OH, NO, IT'S KIDZILLA, THE THING THAT ATE NEW YORK.
YES, KIDZILLA, WHO, ALONG WITH ITS INSATIABLE APPETITE
FOR PAIN AND DESTRUCTION
CAME TO DELIVER ITS ULTIMATE RECIPE...
FOR DOOM.
[ ROARING ]
NO!
KIDZILLA HAS FIXED HIS SIGHTS UPON ME.
IS THERE NO ONE WHO CAN SAVE ME?
THE FOOLS -- THAT DEEP-SEA ATOMIC TEST
 HAS ROUSED THE BEAST FROM ITS CENTURIES-LONG SLUMBER.
WILL THEY NEVER LEARN?
GREAT SCT!
THE THING THAT ATE NEW YORK IS NOW ABOUT
TO EAT MY ONE, TRUE LOVE.
UNHAND HER, SPAWN OF SCIENCE.
UNHAND THAT INNOCENT, YOUNG...COOKIE?
CUT, CUT, CUT.
GO EASY ON HIM.
ON FILM, HE'LL LOOK PRETTY SCARY.
YEAH, IF YOU WERE A COOKIE.
 JUNIOR, BABY, YOU'RE KILLING ME.
YOU SEE, JUNIOR, IT SAYS HERE,
"MONSTER GOES BERSERK; EATS CITY."
IT'S ALL HERE IN THE SCRIPT.
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO ME MAKING A MOVIE,
AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE STAR.
THE THING THAT ATE NEW YORK.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT COOKIE ANYWAY?
IN DIAPER.
COOKIES IN YOUR DIAPER?
UGH,  DON'T EVEN WANT TO GO THERE.
TAKE FIVE, EVERYBODY.
HARD DAY AT THE OFFICE, HITCHCOCK?
AH, THANKS FOR THE USE OF
YOUR DOLL COLLECTION, BECKY, BUT I DON'T THINK
WE'LL BE NEEDING THEM ANYMORE.
HOW COME? WHAT ABOUT THE THING THAT ATE NEW YORK?
HE'D RATHER EAT COOKIES THAN EAT NEW YORK.
WE'RE SHUTTING DOWN PRODUCTION ON ACCOUNT OF
LAME MONSTERING.
SORRY, GEORGE.
AW, IT'S OK, JUNIOR.
I JUST NEED A MORE MONSTERY MONSTER, I GUESS.
 MM-HMM.
[ GEORGE ]: THAT DAY, I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE WRAPPED UP
IN A BIG PRODUCTION -- MOM AND DAD WERE
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR OWN PROJECT.
THE FIRST ANNUAL BENEFIT FOR CREATIVITY AND THE ARTS.
AND JUDGING BY THE FANCY SPREAD THEY WERE LAYING OUT,
IT WAS GOING TO BE ONE SWANKY AFFAIR.
LET'S SEE.
FIRST THE IMPROVISATIONAL K-2200 GROUP WILL PERFORM.
OW!
THEN THE DANCING EYEBALL MEN, FOLLOWED BY THE AVANT-GARDE
THEATRICAL BARBER SHOP QUARTET MIME TODDLERS--
JEEPERS, MOM,
THIS IS GOING TO BE SOME DO, HUH? I HOPE SO...
IF YOUR FATHER DECIDES TO LEAVE SOME FOOD FOR THE GUESTS
AND ALL THE ACTS DON'T FREAK EVERYONE OUT.
HEY, THERE, CECIL B.
HOW GOES THE BIG DISASTER FLICK?
IT'S A MONSTER MOVIE, DAD.
THAT'S TURNED INTO A BIG DISASTER.
JUNIOR WASN'T FEROCIOUS ENOUGH.
HMM...OHH.
AHH...I NEED A NEW MONSTER OR I WON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO PUT IN YOUR SHOW TONIGHT.
OH, I'M SORRY, GEORGE.
HEY, HOW ABOUT CASTING THE OLD MAN AS THE VILLAIN?
I CAN BE PRETTY DARN SCARY, ARR!
IT'S TRUE, YOU SHOULD SEE HIM FIRST THING IN THE MORNI.
UH, GREAT, DAD.
UH, I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
OH, I GET IT.
DON'T CALL US. WE'LL CALL YOU.
[ SIGHING ]
OH, CHIN UP, KIDDO.
YOU'LL COME UP WITH THE ANSWER.
YOU ALWAYS DO.
THAT'S ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS ABOUT BEING CREATIVE,
OR DOING A GOOD JOB, GEORGE.
SOMETIMES IF YOU JUST KEEP TRYING TO FIND THE ANSWER,
THE ANSWER FINDS YOU...MMM.
[ GEORGE ]: NORMALLY, MOM AND DAD ARE
ON THE MONEY WHEN IT COMES TO
DOLING OUT ADVICE, BUT THIS TIME, THEY WERE WAY OFF.
I MEAN, WAS I REALLY SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT
A SUPER-COOL MONSTER,
THE ANSWER TO MY PROBLEMS, WAS GOING TO JUST SHOW UP
OUT OF THE BLUE?
[ GROWLING ]
[ SIGHING ]
OH, POOR GEORGE.
LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU PLAY THE MONSTER?
YOU CAN BE AWFUL CRABBY AT TIMES.
AH, I'M NOT TO SELL MYSELF SHORT,
BUT MONSTERS TEND TO BE A LITTLE ON THE LARGER SIDE.
YEAH.
HEY, WHAT ABOUT YOUR DOLL -- WHAT'S HER NAME -- UH, FAYE?
FAYE? WHAT ABOUT HER?
WITH A HAIRCUT
SOME LONG STICK-ON FINGERNAILS AND BLEACHED-OUT SKIN,
SHE'D MAKE A GREAT ZOMBIE!
WE'LL CALL HER FAYE-GORRA,
QUEEN OF THE ZOMBIES.
LET'S NOT AND SAY WE DID.
AW, COME ON, BECKY.
I'LL MAKE HER A STAR.
NOT A CHANCE, HITCH.
THIS DOLL IS REAL SPECIAL TO ME.
SHE USED TO BELONG TO MY GRANDMOTHER, OK?
OK, OK.
NIX-FAYE -- WE'LL JUST SIT HERE
UNTIL OUR MONSTER COMES LOOKING FOR US.
[ GROWLING ]
ME!
HOKEY-SMOKE!
WO DID YOU SEE THAT?
YEAH, IT ALMOST GOT FAYE.
WHAT WAS IT? I DON'T KNOW.
BUT IT SURE WAS BIG.
AND HAIRY. AND SCARY.
AND JUST WHAT THE SCRIPT DOCTOR ORDERED.
AND WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS.
I KNOW...
THAT'S THE BEST PART -- IT'S THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN.
IT'S WHAT MAKES
A GREAT MONSTER GREAT.
IT COULD BE SOME KIND OF ALIEN.
OR A MUTANT KID.
OR A POORLY-TRIMMED POODLE WITH A WICKED, BAD ATTITUDE.
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE JUNIOR INTO A MONSTERHEN ALL ALONG
THERE'S BEEN A REAL ONE RIGHT OVER THE BACK FENCE.
SO HOW DO WE GET IT ON FILM?
WE HAVE TO LURE IT BACK SOMEHOW.
ALL WE NEED IS THE RIGHT B
SOMETHING IT WANTS.
HMM...
UH-UH, NO WAY,HRINKS.
 YOU'RE NOT USING FAYE.
YOU CAN JUST FORGET IT.
I WANT TO MAKE A COOL MONSTER HOME MOVIE JUST
AS BAD AS YOU DO, GEORGE.
BUT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO FAYE--
DON'T WORRY. SHE'LL BE FINE.
JUST OPEN THE GATES,
AND I'LL RING THE GONG TO GET THE MONSTER'S ATTENTION.
[ SIGHING ]
[ GRUNTING ]
[ GONGING ]
LOOKS LIKE WE DID USE THE RIGHT BAIT, I MEAN DOLL.
IT'S MONSTER TIME.
IT'S COMING. HIDE!
[ GASPING ]
GOLLY!
STEADY, GEORGE.
[ GASPING ]
OH, NO!
IT WAS A MONKEY. A BIG, HAIRY MONKEY...IN MY BACK YARD!
AND IT'S GOT FAYE, MY BEST DOLL.
I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
GEORGE, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
DON'T WORRY, BECKY. WE'LL GET HER BACK.
NODY MAKES A MONKEY OUT OF ME.
WE'RE GOINTO DO ATNY OTHER
RED-BLOODED MOVIEMAKING ADVENTURER WOULD DO.
WE'RE GOING TOOAFTER THAT BEAST AND RESCUE THAT DOLL.
AND WITH ANY LUCK, WE'LL BAG A MONSTER FOR OUR MOVIE.
AND NOTHING,
I MEAN NOTHING ON THIS EARTH CAN STOP US.
JUST LET ME GO ASK MY FOLKS IF IT'S OK.
YOU'D BETT BE RIGHT OUT THIS, GEORGE.
I WANT MY DOLL BACK.
RELAX, WE'LL FIND HER.
I'M ALSO NOT TOO THRILLED WITH THE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS.
AH, I TELL YOU, BECKY, THIS IS GOG TO BE
THE BEST MONSTER FLICK EVER.
[ GASPING ]
HEY, WHY ARE WE STOPPING?
YOU FORGOT TO MENTION THE IMPASSABLE WALL OF THORNS.
IMPASSABLE? HA! IMPOSSIBLE.
[ GASPING ]
UH-.
I DON'T THINK THIS BELONDTO HIM, RIGHT?
NO, IT WAS FAYE'S.
IT'S OK, BECKY, WE'LL GET HER BACK. I PROMISE.
I'M WAY TO BIG TO FIT THROUGH THE.

ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR,
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE...
10! OK.
THAT'S MORE LIKE IT.
ANY CHANCE OF HANDING BACK BECKY'S DOLL?
[ CHATTERING ]
WELL, YOU CAN'T BLAME A GUY FOR TRYING.
WELL, HELLO, DOLLY.
HEY, BECKY, SOMEONE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU.
BECKY, UM, IT'S FAYE. I'M A-OK, HA, HA.
REALLY, YOU FOUND HER?
[ GEORGE ]: YUP.
I'VE GOT BEAUTY, BUT NO BEAST.
GREAT. I'M ON MY WAY.
OVER AND OUT.
OH, MONKEY BOY.
COME OUT.
DON'T TELL BECKY,
BUT IF YOU COME OUT,
I'LL LET YOU PLAY WITH FAYE.
THAT'S RIGHT, COME ON.
 I WON'T HURT YOU.

FAYE! HOORAY!
WOW, SO HE'S LIKE A HERO?

WELL, TO BE HONEST, YOU'D BE PERFECT IN.
HEH, HEH, HEH, NO SALE, HUH?
OK, I UNDERSTAND -- I JUST HOPE
I CAN FIND A WAY TO BREAK IT TO YOUR LEADING LADY, THAT'S ALL.
[ CHATTERING ]
JEEPERS, I'VE HEARD OF ACTORS
FLIPPING OVER THEIR LEADING LADIES, BUT...
TAKE IT EASY -- SAVE SOME FOR THE MOVIE.
GEORGE, GEORGE, ARE YOU OK?
EVERYTHING'S GREAT.
THE DOLL HAS DONE IT AGAIN.
HA, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT THIS GUY'S DOING.
WOW, WHERE DID HE LEARN TO DO THAT?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE MUST HAVE BEEN,
LIKE, IN A SHOW.
WAIT TILL MOM AND DAD SEE HIM.
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.
[ HOWLING ]
[ ♪ ]
[ APPLAUSE ]
THANK YOU.
OH, WEREN'T THEY JUST SO ARTSY?
WHAT A SPLENDID EVENING WE'RE HAVING.
THERE'S A LOT OF LOVE IN THIS YARD.
CAN'T YOU JUST FEEL THE POSITIVE WAVES?
[ EXCLAIMING ]
I THINK WHAT HAROLD IS TRYING TO SAY IS,
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS.
TONIGHT'S BENEFIT IS AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS.
OUT OF THIS WORLD, REALLY.
WE HAVE ONE MORE PRESENTATION FOR YOU TONIGHT.
SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, OUR SON GEORGE.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO A FRIEND OF MINE.
A LIVE PERFORMANCE?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MOVIE?
BECKY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
WAIT AND SEE.
GEORGE WOULD BE UPSET IF
I TIPPED THE SURPRISE.
HE WAS A KING, A STAR IN THE WORLD HE KNEW.
AND NOW HE HAS COME TO OUR LITTLE CORNER OF CIVILIZATION.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS, MIMES AND EYEBALLS,
I GIVE YOU...KING KONGO, THE APE-WONDER OF THE WORLD.
[ GASPING ]
WOW, THIS IS SO COOL.
THAT'S MY BOY.
HOW DID GEORGE GET HIS HANDS ON A MONKEY?
[ LAUGHING ]
[ CHATTERING ]
SPARKLE, NO!
[ CHATTERING ]
OH, NO!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
THIS ISN'T PART OF THE ACT. OH...
WHAT'S GOING ON?
[ CHATTERING ]
I GUESS YOU'LL HAVE TO SAVE FAYE AGAIN, GEORGE.
AND MOM'S PARTY.
WHATEVER YOU DO, KEEP FILMING.
THIS IS GREAT STUFF.
OKEY-DOKEY.
THANKS TO THAT DUMB OLD CAT, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH
WENT FROM A BIG HIT TO A MAJOR BOMB.
AAHHH!
BECKY, IT'S GEORGE. COME BACK.
THEY'RE IN MY ROOM. COME QUICK.
I'M ALREADY AT THE STAIRS.
GOODNESS, THIS IS MORE EXCITEMENT THAN I EXPECTED.
I QUITE AGREE.
WE ARE SO SORRY, MR. AND MRS.
VON KLUMPENSHIRE.
GEORGE!
[ HISSING ]
[ CHATTERING ]
THIS IS GREAT STUFF...YIPE!
[ SIGHING ]
[ GRUNTING ]
SORRY, DOLL, IT'S NOT YOU. HE'S JUST GOT A REAL THING FOR FAYE.
[ CHATTERING ]
UH-OH!
LOOK OUT, KONGO.
[ CRASHING ]
OH, MAN!
CHECK IT OUT!
[ CHATTERING ] [ HISSING ]
OH, BOY.
[ PANTING ]
WHERE ARE THEY?
SPARKLES GOT FAYE, AND KONGO'S IN PURSUIT.
QUICK, BACK OUTSIDE.
WHOA!
OH, NO!
LOOK, UP THERE.
[ SHRIEKING ]
THERE'S THE MONKEY.
CAREFUL, KONGO, CAREFUL.
[ SHRIEKING ]
[ YOWLING ]
AHH...!
THANKS.
[ YOWLING ]
[ SCREECHING ]
OH, WHAT A COLOURFUL KITTY.
THIS IS FANTASTIC.
YE I'T IT?
OH, WHAT'S THIS?
[ LAUGHING ]
WHAT NOW?
SEND IN THE CLOWNS?
HAROLD.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SAY THAT.
WE'RE FROM THE CIRCUS,
AND WE GOT A CALL ABOUT
OUR RUNAWAY MONKEY, KONGO.
YOU'RE JUST THE FELLAS WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
THEY'RE UP ON THE ROOF.
IS THIS ALL PART OF THE SHOW?
OF COURSE IT IS.
THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING FUNDRAISER WE'VE EVER HAD.
[ GASPING ]
GEORGE, ARE YOU OK?
JUST HANGING IN THERE.
BOY, HOWDY, THIS AIN'T GOOD.
THE BOYS WILL NEVER GET THE LADDER TO GO THAT HIGH.
OW! HEY, HEY! OH!
CRANK IT TO THE RIGHT.
NO, YOU CRANK IT TO THE LEFT.
[ GRUNTING ]
[ HONKING ] THAT HURTS!
AH, AHH!
[ WHIMPERING ]
[ GASPING ]
[ SCREAMING ]
HURRAH!
NICE CATCH, BOZO.
ARE YOU OK?
I'M FINE, I'M FINE. HOW'S KONGO?
HE'S ALL RIGHT, THANKS TO YEARS OF CIRCUS TRAINING.
WE DON'T CLOWN AROUND.
WELL, LOOKS LIKE I SAVED FAYE.
AND MAYBE EVEN THE PARTY.
[ SIGHING ]
THANKS AGAIN, MR. AND MRS. VON KLOMPENSHIRE,
FOR THIS GENEROUS DONATION.
IT'S OUR PLEASURE, YOU TWO.
I CAN'T REMEMBER A MORE ENTERTAINING EVENING.
THAT BOY OF YOURS IS
QUITE THE SHOWMAN.
HE'S REALLY SOMETHING.
OH, HE'S SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT.
DON'T DRIVE ANGRY.
WELL, I CAN'T BELIVE I'M
ABOUT TO SAY THIS AFTER ALL THAT'S HAPPENED,
BUT...THANK YOU, GEORGE.
YOU AND KONGO WERE THE TOAST
OF THE TOWN.
FOR A WHILE THERE, IT JUST LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE TOAST.
THANKS TO YOU, WE HAVE ENOUGH DONATIONSO KEEP
THE ART SCENE ALIVE FOR YEARS TO COME.
THAT'S GREAT, MOM.
I'M SURE GLAD THINGS WORKED OUT.
UH, EXCUSE US, FOLKS, BUT IT'S TIME FOR US TO GO.
I SEE ONE TIRED LITTLE FELLOW WHO NEEDS TO GET HOME.
[ YAWNING ]
YOU TOO, KONGO. LET'S GO.
GOODBYE, KONGO. IT WAS NICE WORKING WITH YOU.
WAIT, BEFORE YOU GO,
I HAVE SOMETHING FOR KONGO -- HERE YOU GO.
I'D SAY TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER, BUT I ALREADY KNOW YOU WILL.
[ CHATTERING ]
JEEPERS, BECKY, ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?
FAYE MEANS A LOT TO YOU.
YEAH, BUT SHE MEANS A LOT
TO HIM TOO -- BESIDES,
I THINK THEY WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER.
HEH, HEH, I CAN'T ARGUE THERE.
IT WAS KIND OF SAD TO SEE KONGO LEAVE.
WE ONLY JUST GOT TO BE FRIENDS.
HIS TRAINER SAID WE COULD VISIT THAT CRAZY LITTLE MONKEY
ANY TIME THE CIRCUS IS IN TOWN.
AND UNTIL THEN, BECKY AND I HAD OUR MEMORIES...
NOT TO MENTION A LITTLE SOMETHING WE CALL...
KING KONGO, THE APE-WONDER OF THE WORLD.
OK, SO IT WASN'T GOING TO WIN ANY AWARDS.
AND MAYBE IT WASN'T THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE.
BUT IT WAS THE BEST MOVIE I EVER MADE, AND THAT MADE IT
A WINNER IN MY BOOKS.
AND TO THINK I ALMOST BAILED ON
THE WHOLE THING BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND THE RIGHT MONSTER.
MY PARENTS WERE RIGHT -- IF YOU KEEP TRYING TO FIND A SOLUTION,
SOONER OR LATER THE SOLUTION WILL FIND YOU.
AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT NOW,
IT WASN'T THE CLOWN THAT GOT KONGO.
IT WAS BEAUTY THAT GOT THE BEAST.
HA-HA-HA, ALRIGHT!
OOP!
HEE-HEE, GEORGE IN POPCORN!
I GUESS, WITH THE RIGHT MINDSET,
YOU CAN MAKE FUN OUT OF PRACTICALLY NOTHING AT ALL.

HACKER: AH, YES...
THE POWERFUL PRISM OF PENGUIA.
THIS IS THE PERFECT CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRIC EEL
 OF AQUARI-YUM!
LOCATION: THE FROZEN TUNDRA OF CYBERIA.
YES!
BUZZ: OH NO!
NO, DR. BILL,
THE BOSS NEVER EVER HAS A KIND WORD FOR US!
IT'S ALWAYS ROBOTIC RAGAMUFFINS THIS,
DUNCEBUCKETS THAT!
(CROWD GASPS ISHOCK)
HE'S NEVER ONCE TOLD US. HE CARED!
(CRYING)
WELL, HACKER'S WHAT I CALL A BULLY BOSS:
THE ABSOLUTE WORST KIND OF BOSS THERE IS!
A BULLY BOSS? MOI?
NOW, MY ADVICE,
Y'ALL SHOULD HIGHTAIL IT OUT OF THERE
QUICKER THAN A BOLLWEVIL IN A CYBER-CAT CONVENTION!
GET UP AND GO!
WHAT?! NODY LEAVES THE HACKER!
I DON'T KNOW.
I STILL CARE ABOUT THE BOSS.
IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO LEAVE HIM.
AUDIENCE: OHHHS...
BUT DR. BILL'S RIGHT, DEEDEE.
WE GOTTA FIND A NEW BOSS WHO APPRECIATES US.
HACKER: THEY'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!
(THE AUDIENCE GASPS)
MOVE IT, DUNCEBUCKETS!
WE HAVE CHAOS TO CAUSE!
(BOOG)
CHAOS IS NOT THE ANSWER, HACKER.
YOU NEED TO REPAIR THIS RELATIONSHIP
BEFORE IT'S LOST FOREVER.
WE ALREADY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP!
I'M THE BOSS AND THEY'RE NOT!
PRECISELY THE PROBLEM, SON.
I SUGGEST A FRIENDSHIP ELD TRIP
WHERE Y'ALL CAN SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME TOGETHER
AS EQUALS,
PALS, BUDS.
EQUALS?!
PALS?
US AND THE BOSS?
HMMM... ON THE OTHER HAND,
IT'S NOT SUCH A BAD IDEA AFTER ALL.
I'LL DO IT!
AUDIENCE: (CHEERS)
HACKER: COME ON, BOYS.
IT'S TIME TO BECOME BEST FRIENDS!
AND I KNOW JUST THE PLACE TO GO.
PENGUINS: (LAUGHS)
MATT: HE'S SURE HAVING A TOUGH TIME HITTING THE TARGET.
COACH: THAT'S FLUFF.
BEEN TRYIN' TO MAKE THE TEAM
FOR THREE SEASON'S NOW.
MAYBE NEXT TIME, FLUFF.
ALL RIGHT, YOU'RE UP, ICE.
SHOW 'EM HOW IT'S DONE!
JACKIE: MAN, SHE'S AWESOME!
MATT: HIT'S THE POLE EVERY TIME!
SHE NEVER MISSES.
NOT LIKE YOU, HUH, FLUFF?
INEZ: NICE ONE, DIDGE!
DIGIT: JUST KIDDING! SHEESH!
INEZ: GUYS, WE DIDN'T COME TO CYBERIA TO WATCH HOCKEY.
WE CAME HERE TO PLAY IN THE SNOW.
JACKIE: YOU GO, INEZ.
PENGUIN HOCKEY IS TOTALLY COOL!
I'LL PLAY WITH YOU.
INEZ: YOU GOT IT, FLUFF!
SNOW ANGELS AWAIT US!
DIGIT: THEY CALL HER BLUE ICE.
SHE'S THE BEST PLAYER IN ALL OF PENGUIN HOCKEY.
YEAH, BUT SHE'S JUST A PENGUIN.
I'LL SHOW HER WHAT A REAL PRO CAN DO!
INEZ: THIS IS SO COOL.
YOU'RE LUCKY TO LIVE IN SUCH A FUN PLACE, FLUFF.
FUN, YEAH. BUT SAD, TOO.
INEZ: SAD?
HOW COME?
FLUFF: WELL, A LONG, LONG TIME AGO...
EMPEROR PENGUIA WAS AFRAID
THAT SOMEONE WOULD STEAL OUR PRISM,
OUR EVER-SHINING SYMBOL OF HAPPINESS.
SO HE TOOK IT TO A SECRET PLACE
AND BURIED IT IN THE GROUND
WHERE NO ONE WOULD EVER FIND IT.
BUT THE EMPEROR HAD A BAD MEMORY,
SO HE MADE WALL PICTURES IN THE TOMB OF RECORDS
THAT SHOWED EXACTLY WHERE HE BURIED THE PRISM.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE FORGOT WHERE THE TOMB OF RECORDS WAS.
NO TOMB; NO PICTURES; NO PRISM.
THE PRISM OF PENGUIA WAS LOST FOREVER.
(CRYING)
GOSH, THAT REALLY IS SAD.
UH HUH.
THAT'S HOW THE LEGEND OF THE CRYING PENGUIN WAS BORN.
UH, I ALMOST FORGOT!
IT'S MY TURN AT THE CRYING SPOT!
THE CRYING SPOT?
C'MON, I'LL TAKE YOU THERE.
DIGIT: SOME PRO.
THAT'S YOUR FOURTH MISS!
WELL, IF I SHOOT ENOUGH TIMES,
I'M BOUND TO HIT THE POLE!
JACKIE: STAND BACK!
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE.
MATT: THAT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE!
JACKIE: MAN, HITTING THAT POLE IS A LOT HARDER THAN I THOUGHT.
MATT: WHAT'S THE DEAL, COACH?
OUR PUCKS GO IN A STRAIGHT LINE TO THE WALL
JUST LIKE ICE'S DO.
JACKIE: AND BOUNCE BACK LIKE HERS.
BUT THEY SURE DON'T HIT THE POLE LIKE ICE'S DO!
C'MON, I'LL SHOW YOU WHY.
I USTHIS TO TRACK THE PUCK
SO MY PLAYERS CAN SEE WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN'T!
MATT: HEY, THAT'S ME!
THE PATH OF THAT SHOT
WOUND UP WAY TO THE RIGHT OF THE TARGET.
JACKIE: MY TURN.
MATT: AND THAT ONE WAS TOO FAR TO THE LEFT.
JACKIE: MAN, WE'RE SHOOTING ALL OVER THE PLACE!
NONE OF THE PATHS ARE RIGHT.
NOW, WATCH WHAT ICE DOES.
MATT: RIGHT ON TARGET!
COACH: BUT HER TARGET ISN'T THE POLE;
IT'S THIS AIMING SPOT ON THE BOARD.
FROM THIS BLUE STAR,
THERE'S ONLY ONE PATH THE PUCK CAN TAKE -
OFF THAT WALL TO HIT THE POLE.
AND THAT BLUE DOT MARKS THAT SPOT ON THE WALL.
MATT: COOL!
NOW WE KNOW WHAT TO AIM AT!
THAT'S THE SECRET!
AIM IS THE GAME!
C'MON, JAX. LET'S LIGHT IT UP!
TO FIND THE PATH FROM HERE THAT HITS THE POLE,
AIM FOR THE BLUE DOT!
HE SHOOTS...
HE SCORES!
WOO
FLUFF: SO A PENGUIN MUST ALWAYS SHED TEARS
UNTIL THE PRISM OF PENGUIA IS FOUND.
IT'S THE LAW OF THE LAND.
HERE WE ARE - THE CRYING SPOT.
FLASH: (CRYING)
FLUFF: HEY, FLASH. MY TURN TO CRY.
(CRYING)
INEZ: PENGUIN TEARS... GOSH.
THAT IS JUST THE SADDEST THING I EVER HEARD!
NOT ALL FUN AND GAMES HERE, LIKE YOU THOUGHT, HUH?
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO HELP!
THERE'S JUST HAS TO BE!
HACKER: TIGHTER, I SAID!
PULL IT TIGHTER.
UH-OH! THAT VOICE SOUNDS FAMILIAR.
BUZZ: THIS WOULD BE A LOT EASIER, BOSS -
I MEAN PAL - IF YOU'D HELP US.
YEAH, IT WOULD MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE'RE ALL EQUAL!
JUST LIKE DR. BILL SAID!
WE ARE EQUAL!
YOU TWO ARE THE SAME AND THEN...
THEN THERE'S ME!
AHHHHH!
BUZZ: HACKY! DELETE: PAL!
WHY YOU INCOMPETENT-
I MEAN, INCOMPARABLE COMPADRES.
