- What deal?

- The flying!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right, right, right. Don't worry.

I'll teach you

everything I know.

Now, which bunk is mine?

Absolutely outrageous!

Asking a senior officer

to share his quarters...

and with a noncommissioned

Yank, no less.

- Why, back in my day, I'd never...

- Hey!

You weren't exactly

my first choice either.

And scoot over.

Your wing's on my side of the bunk.

Your side of the bunk?

The whole bunk is my side of the bunk!

Just... What's that smell?

Is that your breath?

It's absolutely

outrageous.

So you wanna fly, huh?

Well, it ain't gonna be easy, and it

ain't gonna happen overnight either.

You see, flying

takes three things.

Hard work,

perseverance and...

- Hard work.

- You said hard work twice!

That's because it takes

twice as much work as perseverance.

Codswallop!

Now, the most important thing is

we have to work as a team,

which means... you do

everything I tell you.

Right! Let's rock and roll.

- Oh. Oh, oh.

- Oh. Oh, oh.

Mrs. Tweedy!

The chickens are...

Pecking?

And left, two, three.

And right, two, three.

And... stop right there.

Oh, yeah, down.

Down. Yeah, yeah, make little circles.

That's it. Faster.

Faster.

Oh, yes. Perfect.

Oh, that's the spot.

I thought you were going

to teach us how to fly.

That's what I'm doing.

Isn't there usually

some flapping involved?

Hey, do I tell you

how to lay eggs?

Relax.

We're making progress.

Really? I can't help feeling

we're going around in circles.

What the... Hey! Cut it out!

You're making me dizzy.

I think they're

ready to fly now.

Good, because they

certainly can't walk anymore.

Up and at 'em, gals.

Let's flap.

Watch, Fetcher. Let's see if old

Attila the Hen has come to her senses.

- It's raining hen!

- What's this caper, love?

- We're flying.

Obviously.

- Flippin' hell. Look at this, Fetch.

- They're gonna kill themselves.

- Wanna watch?

- Yeah, all right.

- Ooh!

- Ooh!

- Ahh!

- Ahh!

Hey! Careful

of those eggs!

Sunny-side up.

Now they're over easy!

Definitely scrambled.

Go! Go! Go!

Go, go, go, go! Go!

Poultry in motion!

Birds of a feather

flop together.

Great work, ladies.

Great work!

The pain you're feeling

is a good thing. It's good.

Pain is your friend, okay?

It's a positive thing.

Just keep the faith there, uh...

What was your name? Agnes!

You'll get there.

Ducky, I think you

flew four feet today.

Right, four feet!

From the roof to the ground.

It's all part of the process, ladies.

Nothing to worry about.

Ya cheese-eating little...

- Whoa!

That doesn't sound good.

Ha, ha, ha.

Okay, the ground's shaking.

Are we worried?

Are we worried?

The circus.
