my little immigrant.

This is America!

America.

I thought it was bigger.

Oh, it is bigger.

All of that is also America.

Wow!

This is just

an island at the doorway

where I, Henri le pigeon,

am putting up my

Statue of Liberty!

I know, my little immigrant,

you want to find your family,

and you will.

But how?

It's so far away, and it's so big!

I'll never find them anyway.

But did you say,

"Never"?

So young, and you have lost hope.

Ah, this is America,

the place to find hope!

If you give up, you will

never find your family.

So, never say never!

Say...

Never say never

Whatever you do

Never say never, my friend

Henri...

Ah, tais-toi!

If you believe that

your dreams will come true

They'll come

true in the end

But I...

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

Keep up your courage

Don't ever despair

Take heart and

then count to 10

Hope for the best

Work for the rest

And never say never again

Oh, but it's impossible!

I'll never find my family.

Ah, ah, ah!

Never say never!

Now, say that. Go on.

Never say never

Whatever you do

Again!

Never say never

To me

See how easy?

If you believe you

can come shining through

That's... That's how

it's going to be.

Perfect!

Now don't you go and give up

Give out or give in

When the going's rough,

just get tough

And just tell

yourself you're gonna win

Remember to look on

the bright side till then

And never

Say never

Again

Now are you ready to

go and find your family?

Yes!

Chantal!

Take my little

friend to immigration.

You will find your family there.

Everyone goes through immigration.

I would take you there myself,

but then I'd never

finish my statue.

Henri, you said, "Never"!

Oh, so I did!

Never

Say never

Never

Say never

Never

Say never

Again

Au revoir! Bonne chance!

Good luck!

Good-bye!

Come on, keep it

moving, keep it moving.

All right.

Hurry, hurry!

Yes, sir! Step off the

boat and into prosperity!

Welcome, greenhorns!

This is America!

Today's special, the Brooklyn

Bridge, just a dollar!

Golly, the Brooklyn Bridge!

Ticket to Chicago!

Used only once!

Gee whiz!

Only once, Ma.

Apple, apple?

Get my apple while it lasts.

Hurry, it's going fast!

I'll take one!

Eighteen, 19, 20, 21.

Would you please put

out that filthy thing?

I'm suffocating down here.

You don't like it?

Hey, you know you're not the

only cockroach in New York City.

There are millions

of roaches who'd give

their left feet to

work for Warren T. Rat.

Good. Fire me!

I'm fed up with that filthy smoke...

Hey!

And this pocket!

I've seen kitchen stoves

cleaner than this place.

Hey, come on.

Look at my suit.

All right, all right, Digit.

All right.

Hey, how much money
