Valiant Page #2

Ha-ha!

Look at that. It's London!

Whoo-hoo!

All right, listen up.

This is easy,

for intelligent guys like you.

All you got to do,

keep your eyes on the pebble here.

She's shy. Give her a chance,

she will give you the slip.

Find her, and the crumbs is yours.

Easy as pie. I don't know

how I stay in business.

There it is, under that one.

Where is it now?

[humming] Find her

and the crumbs is yours.

Which one is it under?

- That one.

- That one?

Oh, no. Bad luck again.

Gonna give it one more go?

Law of averages.

I think you're gonna win this time.

[laughing]

Tell us, then, which one

has the pebble?

Well, in all the excitement,

I forgot myself.

What do you gents say

to a game of, uh, football?

You big cheat!

Give me my crumbs back.

On the level.

I know what you're thinking.

Come and get me, falcons.

[whooping]

Oh!

- Strike me down if I tell a lie.

- [Valiant] Whoa!

- Oh.

- [groaning]

[chuckling] Look.

That was lucky.

Prayers were answered.

That's never worked before.

- Hello, mate!

- I lost control.

You could not have

picked a better time.

- Beg your pardon.

- Bugsy's the name.

I'm terribly sorry.

I'm Valiant.

So, what brings you to my manor?

Oh, l... Well,

I've come to be an aviator.

With the Royal

Homing Pigeon Service.

- Fighting for king and country.

- You don't say?

I've never been

a hope-and-glory bird myself.

I'm rather partial to something

called "freedom."

Yeah, I flit about as I please.

No one telling me what to do

or when to do it.

Are they...

Are those flies?

Oh, them. [laughing]

They're friends of mine.

[coughing and groaning]

So, RHPS is recruiting?

Good idea. Right this way, mate.

I'm feeling rather patriotic myself

all of a sudden.

- There he is!

- Come on. After him!

Oi! Let's get going.

Come on. [whistling]

He's here somewhere.

I can smell him.

Follow my lead, mate.

Hello. Two to enlist, please.

Valiant Pigeon,

reporting for duty, sir.

- Never heard of you.

- Valiant Pigeon, yeah.

The Valiant Pigeon.

You don't have Valiant on your list?

- No.

- Whoo-hoo-hoo.

- Clerical error.

- Should I have?

Yes, I think you should have.

Look at him.

He's a perfect specimen.

Do something.

He's fast as lightning,

strong as an ox.

Very tall for his height.

Stand up there. Sit down.

Yeah... Oh, the bird's

a legend in the Struppen...

and Barkley Huntshire area.

Too small.

You should be "yea high,"

and you're not even "hey high."

That's charming, that is.

And you! [sniffing] Phooey!

Have you by any chance

heard of a birdbath?

Sad truth is,

I've got me a rare

feather condition, yeah.

Can't go near a bath.

I look at a bath, and it makes me itch.
