they call me back home?

You're gonna love this.

The Lone Free Ranger.

- Ooh!

- Isn't that great?

- I knew it was possible.

- Oh, it's possible, all right.

- I knew the answer would come.

- Amen!

We're all going to fly over that fence,

and Mr. Rhodes is going

to show us how, right?

That's... What?

Did you say "fly"?

- You can teach us.

- No, I can't.

- Listen. Shh. You hear that?

That's the open road calling my name,

and I was born to answer that call. Bye.

He must have

very good hearing.

Okay, okay, where's the exit?

Ah, this way.

Mr. Rhodes, um, perhaps I didn't

explain our situation properly.

We lay eggs

day in and day out,

and when we can't lay

any more, they kill us.

It's a cruel world, doll face.

You might as well get used to it.

Which part of "they kill us"

do you not understand?

I got my own set

of problems to worry about.

Besides, this birdcage can't

be that hard to bust out of.

In fact, watch me.

It's not so hard to get one

chicken out of here or even two,

but this is about all of us.

- All of you?

- That's what I've been

trying to tell you.

Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

You want to get every chicken in this

place out of here at the same time?

- Of course.

- You're certifiable.

You can't pull off a stunt

like that. That's suicide.

Where there's a will,

there's a way.

- Couldn't agree more.

I will be leaving that way.

- But...

- Mr. Rhodes?

- I'm the type of guy

- Please!

- That likes to roam around

I'm never in one...

So that's it.

You're from the circus.

Shh!

You're on the run,

aren't you?

You wanna keep it down?

- I'm trying to lay low here.

I should turn you in

right now.

- You wouldn't. Would you?

- Give me one reason why I shouldn't.

Because I'm... cute?

Hey, hey, hey!

What kind of crazy chick are you?

- Do you know what'll

happen if he finds me?

- It's a cruel world.

I just decided.

I don't like you.

I just decided. I don't care.

Now, show us how to fly.

- With this wing?

- Teach us then.

- No!

- He's valuable, you say?

- Sure.

- Get the torch.

Now you listen here, sister.

I'm not going back to that life.

I'm a Lone Free Ranger.

Emphasis on free!

And that's what we want.

Freedom!

- Fancy that.

They're coming this way.

Oh, oh, no. No. Oh, no.

They're on to me.

Teach us to fly

and we'll hide you.

- And if I don't?

Was your father

by any chance a vulture?

Do we have a deal?

Time to make good

on that deal, doll...

The name is Ginger.

- Comfortable?

- Not really.

- Maybe this will help.

- Nice hideout.

Ouch. I had

more room in my egg.

We've held up our end of the deal.

Tomorrow you hold up yours.
