Yeah. He'll just come in

and then you'll be trapped.

Don't worry. Keep it fast

and don't stop moving.

- Hmm.

- Hi, Dad! Right.

Let's get going, eh?

Hi. Uh, Bradley Slater.

We've met, um...

Oh.

Dad, Oddy's not

supposed to be in town.

You can't afford

a repeat of last time.

Well, this isn't town

and your yard's got a fence.

Alright, we've all got

places to go and things to do.

I've got a big rehearsal tonight

for the opening night.

- Goodbye.

- What's he doing here?

I was called away

early this morning

and Bradley really helped

us out. You behaved, right?

Oh, we're practically BFFs.

Alright, come on, then.

Chop-chop. Hop into the truck.

Bradley helped out, eh?

Really? You and the

tourism blow-in, huh?

L... l like him.

And he's not scared away

by the single mum thing,

so don't screw this up, OK?

Alright.

It's none of my business.

Oh, just grind away, Betty.

Come on, darling.

Hold your tongue to your left.

Too far.

Try the right.

No. Try the left.

No. Try the middle.

Nope. Out more. Ah!

Tongue out the middle.

Come on, Oddy!

Uh, this Bradley,

what do you think?

He tried to buy me off

with shoes.

Lord help us.

Well, you know if you ever need

anything, I'm always here.

Oddball!

- Gross!

- Oh! Oh, wow.

- Eugh, yuck!

- That'd make an onion cry.

That is disgusting.

Definitely yuck!

Oddball, that is wrong.

Hello, little one.

Reopening the village

is the first stop

in my tourism initiative.

We have costumed re-enactors,

this delightful

southern right whale.

Oh, guys! I love you for

being on time. OK, here.

Right, there. Nice

and slow. Come on, come on.

Place it here.

This is the piece de resistance

of the entire show.

Is it good?

There are only two of these

projectors in the entire world.

You wouldn't believe the strings

I had to pull to get this.

Alright, we will fire it up

and then we project the movie

off the rising mist...

The crowd will ooh and ah,

and in that moment, Ms Mayor,

we will officially be

open for business.

Good morning!

Have fun today. Hi!

Ah, there you go.

And on time, to boot.

Oddy.

See you this afternoon

when I pick you up.

What's wrong?

There was another penguin

killed at the reserve

last night.

That's why Mum wasn't home

this morning.

Oh, right.

She's running out of options.

They've tried everything.

Well, I'm sure your mum

will come up with something.

- She always seems to...

- Hey, Livvie. Hey, Oddball.

Your friend's there.

See you after school, darl.

See ya.

- Oddy!

- Oddball!

He's taking another runner!

Go, Oddball!

Livvie, shut the door,

shut the door!

- Grandad, go!

- Seatbelt!

Keen your eye on him. Hang on.
