Well, you weren't here.

Oh, alright. Fair enough.

- Hello?

- Good news.

I've found someone to take your duck.

Great. Yeah, that is good news.

It's called Puddleduck Farm.

Everything's taken care of.

You can pop in any time.

They're expecting you.

Where is it?

'Bye.

Hello?

So, Mr. Crappy.

There'll be lots of birds there.

Birds of a feather.

You can flock together.

Be able to do all your duck stuff.

Might even meet a nice lady duck.

You never know.

Best of all, you'll be able to poo

anywhere you like.

Yes.

I thought you'd like that.

Bit of music, eh?

I want to break free

I want to break free...

I want to break free from your lies

You're so self-satisfied

I don't need you...

Well, look at that.

The duck likes Queen.

I've got to break free

God knows

God knows, I want to break...

Hello!

You must be Doug.

You can call me Aunty Jessamine.

Everyone does.

Hi.

We're very excited to have a new

addition to our happy little commune!

Aren't we, everyone?

That's good.

Oh, aren't they adorable?

They've all got their own hat!

And I've got a lovely one all

picked out for your little ducky.

Gareth, stop doing that to Darcy!

I've told you before, he doesn't like it!

Sometimes the boys can get a little...

...frisky with each other.

Oh.

Right.

Uh...

Oh... Bugger!

I must be mad.

Whoa! Watch out!

You moron duck!

Crazy. Whoa!

Nearly had us in the ditch.

Let's have this stupid hat off

for a start.

Come on.

You stay there.

That's your side, alright?

Now, just... Look,

put your seatbelt on, for a start.

Just stay...

Don't look at me like that.

Right, every species

has to be belted in,

Holly?

Yep?

Look. Um...

Doug.

Doug. Um...

Your little friend is a wild animal.

We're not a bird sanctuary.

I know. I just want some advice.

My advice is let him go.

Let him fend for himself.

Well, what if he can't?

Happens all the time.

It's called life.

Well...

He's staying with me.

So you're keeping him?

Yeah, I think I will.

Although there's just

a couple of issues.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

It keeps getting into the bed with me, which...

I know it's a bit weird, but...

I mean, he's a duck. So...

Have you tried closing the door?

I've done that, but he's very loud.

You can hear him on the other side.

I can't get much sleep.

OK. I can give you a few pointers.

But we'll probably have to see

the duck's environment.

My house?

Yes.

Don't we, Holly?

OK.

Um... OK, yeah.

I could give it... a quick look

and suggest some changes.

Changes?!

Look, do you want to get

a good night's sleep or not?

Yep.

OK.

Are you stealing that duck?

What? No.

What are you doing with it, then?

None of your business.
