Mr. Popper's Penguins Page #5

That's not my penguin.

Oh, really?

(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY)

Why would l have a penguin?

That could be anybody.

Oh, yeah.

Just give me the stupid thing.

So, the board must have given you

a free pass

on the whole "no pets" thing.

That is mighty nice of them.

How much till you don't see a penguin?

l can still see him.

lt's getting blurry.

lf l decided to squint,

it could look like a puppy.

How's that?

ls that you, Mr. P?

The light's going dim.

-Yeah, Pippi.

-PlPPl:
Mr. Popper!

Yeah. l'm not coming

into work again today.

Oh. (SPEAKS FRENCH)

l have a pest problem.

What particular pest is the problem?

-lt's a penguin.

-A penguin?

Yeah. Starts with "P."

You ought to be able to handle it.

Hey there, Popper.

Kent.

ls that. . . ls that a pet l hear, Popper?

Pet? No. What? Of course not.

Okay. l mean, l can't say l blame you.

lf l had your 3,200 square feet,

l'd find someone to share it with, too.

lt's not a pet, Kent.

l left the television on. l'll take care of it.

(CRASHlNG)

Digital surround.

lt's like a real animal in there

busting stuff.

lt's amazing.

Bye, Kent.

NARRATOR ON TV:
The goIden eagIe is

North America's largest bird of prey.

With a wingspan of 1 85

to 220 centimeters,

these extremely swift creatures

can dive upon their quarry

at speeds of more than 241 kilometers

per hour.

You like that, huh?

Too bad.

(PENGUlN HONKS)

l was listening to your commentary,

in The Economist,

reviewing these numbers,

and obviously the job number on Friday

wasn't a bad number.

We've got, what, three months now

averaging about 1 50,000 jobs...

That's not cute. You're not cute.

-l don't know what people see in you.

-(DOORBELL RlNGlNG)

Yes! Now you're talking.

Hey, Chilly Willy. Your ride is here.

(HONKS)

Someone is going on a little trip today.

No big deal, right?

All right, penguin.

No long goodbyes. Let's go.

Come here.

Gotcha. Game is over. You lose.

Let me just seal you in. No!

Where do you think you're going?

My kid's birthday is in 1 0 minutes. Okay?

That's right. l make the rules.

Because l have the brains.

(CLATTERlNG)

Wait. How did you. . .

(TOlLET FLUSHlNG)

What the. . .

(HONKlNG LOUDLY)

(HONKlNG)

Hey!

lt's an infestation.

How did you even get up there?

Your legs are, like, four inches long.

(DOORBELL RlNGS)

Obviously, a little miscommunication.

All right. Who is hungry?

Come on, you little snow rats.

(EXCLAlMS)

Ooh ! Hey! Gosh, thought you guys

would never get here.

That's great.

You ready for the big birthday

celebration fiesta?

Here we go.

But here's the thing,

l'm not quite ready yet.

So, can you just hang out for a bit

while l get Billy's gift all set?
