Free Birds Page #2

Synopsis: After years of fruitless warning of his farmyard brethren of the coming Thanksgiving doom, Reggie the Turkey finds himself spared as the annual Pardoned Turkey. However, Reggie's easy life is disrupted by Jake, a fanatic turkey who drags him along with the insane idea of going back in time to make sure turkeys are not part of the first Thanksgiving. Through foolhardiness and luck, the pair manage to take an experimental time machine to do just that. Now in 1621 at the Plymouth colony, Reggie and Jake find themselves in the middle of a turkey clan's struggle for survival. In doing so, their preconceptions of the world and themselves are challenged forever in a conflict from which the world will never be the same.

Security! Set Tasers to kill!

Ah!

What was that?

- Oh!

- Love your enthusiasm, comrade.

Dah!

But you're running

in the wrong direction.

Besides, we're already

behind schedule.

- We're behind schedule?

- We are?

Why didn't you say so?

Let's move!

Look, I think you have me

confused with somebody else.

I'm not part of any mission.

Horizon seems clear.

- Hold on.

- Hey, wait!

It's me, the pardoned turkey.

Help me!

A strange rogue turkey.

Stay back. I'll take him out.

Ah!

- Please don't hurt me.

- I don't know who you are

but you're seriously

jeopardizing this operation.

Are you insane? It's me.

Is it? Is it really?

Would you get off me?!

You know what? I'm sick of you

throwing me around.

You see this line?

Do not come into my personal...

Did you not see the line?

'Cause I was pretty clear

that it's right...

Snap out of it, Reggie.

Wait, how do you know my name?

Because he told me

everything about you.

He? Who is he?

The Great Turkey.

He appeared in the sky

on a bright ball of light with a voice

that came from everywhere.

He gave me my mission,

told me I needed to find you.

And then, he gave me this.

A door knob?

The sacred time knob.

This guy is a lunatic. Oh!

That secret military base

should be right up ahead.

The facility should be in here.

Just need to figure out how to get

past this impenetrable gate.

So, this is what it looks like

on the inside.

Okay, what's inside

this secret base, anyway?

A time machine.

A time machine?

A time machine.

- A time machine.

- A time...

What?! Who told you that?

You did, just now.

Of course I did. I was testing you.

- Uh...

- That's our mission.

Not to save ten turkeys

or even a hundred, but all of them.

We're going back in time

to the first Thanksgiving

to get turkeys off the menu.

That's right,

we're going back in time

to the first Thanksgiving

to get turkeys off the menu.

- Who are you talking to?

- This guy right here.

He totally gets it.

Look, look, see how he's nodding?

Hello, soldier, welcome

to the Turkey Freedom Front.

I'm just gonna let you two

get acquainted. Oh!

- Scanning area.

- What are you doing?

- Not binoculars.

- Wait!

- There's our target. Let's go!

- Ah!

Entering time module.

Stand back.

Initiating launch sequence.

Tingling sensation in lower body.

Blood pressure rising, rapidly...

...penetrating space-time continuum.

I can feel time warping!

Ooh! We can warp to another time

and maintain their lawns.

This doesn't make sense.

Oh, oh, look.

Potting soil from the year 3000.

Ooh.

- Oh, Jake, look!

- What? What is it?

Future paint. Secret basecoat.

But, he said it would be here.

What the heck are you talking about?
