Mr. Popper's Penguins Page #2

Hey, Popper!

l've been working on my power shot.

Let's see what you've got, tough guy.

Come on.

(GROANlNG)

Ooh ! Oh ! (LAUGHS)

Nice save.

-Hey, Popper.

-Greetings.

Did you say hi to Rick?

Yeah. Yeah, he hugged me three times.

l felt like an endangered sequoia.

Come on, we have only gone out

a couple of times.

He's a keeper.

There is nothing wrong

with a man who recycles.

l recycle. l turn decrepit old buildings

into shiny new ones.

Did l mention

he's also incredibly handsome?

Really?

Good to see your taste hasn't changed.

And thoughtful. And considerate.

-Where is your sister?

-She's having issues.

You know, Cooper Keegan?

(SOFTLY) Cooper Keegan.

(WHlSPERlNG) The love of her life!

Oh.

Hi ! Hey, look who's here.

Who's ready for a big weekend at Dad's?

(SlGHS)

She says she doesn't want to go

with you this weekend.

Maybe you should talk to her.

Yeahbsolutely.

What are we looking at?

95 pounds of C-4 explosives

on a hair trigger.

Make sure you clip

the right wire, otherwise. . .

Ba-boom !

You're in The Hurt Locker now, Popper.

Do you want to talk about it?

Come on.

What do you do if you like somebody,

but they don't like you back?

Janie,

you're a powerful woman,

you're an independent lady.

You don't even need a man, really.

Look at Martha Stewart.

She's rich and she sleeps with her dogs.

(SlGHS)

You are so warped !

l don't know why l thought

for one second l could talk to you.

-Janie. . .

-This is why l don't want to go.

He cut both wires.

Come on, it's our weekend.

(JANlE GROANS lN FRUSTRATlON)

-lt's going to be fun.

-(DOOR SLAMS)

Good talk.

(OVER PHONE) Mr. Popper? Pippi.

l've parlayed with the Tavern people

and persuaded them

to ponder your proposal.

POPPER:
Great. l don't have

the kids this weekend,

so set a meeting with Van Gundy

and call me.

No little ones this weekend, Mr. P?

No, Daryl. They don't like me right now.

Well, l like you, sir.

Already working

on the Christmas bonus, huh?

Never start too early.

-Yeahbsolutely.

-You have a good one, Mr. P.

(EXHALES)

(SlGHS)

(CELL PHONE CHlMES)

Tommy, it's Reginald. Call me.

lt's about your father.

So where was he, Reginald?

Antarctica.

Selling ice to the Eskimos?

That's the Arctic.

Whatever.

(SlGHS)

Your father loved you, Tommy.

That's good to know. Do you want to read?
