SWAMPY:
I see you in there.

Get out here now!

If you don't, I'm gonna

come in there and drag you out.

- Oh, no.

- (BARKS)

SWAMPY:
Come on,

you dopey thing. Get out here!

BRADLEY:
Not the tie!

SWAMPY:
What have you

got there? Hey?

Come on, show me

what you've got.

Oh, yeah, he's got

a bit of fight, don't you?

What is it?

Where did you get that?

- EMILY:
Hi.

- Hey. Where have you been?

- Uh...

- OLIVIA:
Hi, Mum!

Hi. I'm so sorry.

Our first morning together

has just turned into a mess.

Oh, that's okay.

Hey, I like your mess.

- Let's go.

- Go... Wait, go? Now?

Yeah. He'll just come in

and then you'll be trapped.

Don't worry. Keep it fast

and don't stop moving.

- Hmm.

- Hi, Dad! Right.

- Let's get going, eh?

- (BRADLEY SIGHS)

Hi. Uh, Bradley Slater.

We've met, um...

- Oh.

- (ODDBALL WHIMPERS)

EMILY:
Dad, Oddy's not

supposed to be in town.

You can't afford

a repeat of last time.

SWAMPY:
Well, this isn't town

and your yard's got a fence.

BRADLEY:
Alright, we've all got

places to go and things to do.

I've got a big rehearsal tonight

for the opening night.

- Goodbye.

- What's he doing here?

I was called away

early this morning

and Bradley really helped

us out. You behaved, right?

Oh, we're practically BFFs.

Alright, come on, then.

Chop-chop. Hop into the truck.

SWAMPY:
Bradley helped out, eh?

Really? You and the

tourism blow-in, huh?

(SIGHS) l... l like him.

And he's not scared away

by the single mum thing,

so don't screw this up, okay?

Alright.

It's none of my business.

- (ENGINE GRINDS)

- Oh, just grind away, Betty.

Come on, darling.

Hold your tongue to your left.

- (ENGINE GRINDS)

- Too far.

- Try the right.

- (ENGINE GRINDS)

- No. Try the left.

- (ENGINE GRINDS)

- No. Try the middle.

- (ENGINE GRINDS)

Nope. Out more. Ah!

(ENGINE SPUTTERS, STARTS)

Tongue out the middle.

Come on, Oddy!

Uh, this Bradley,

what do you think?

He tried to buy me off

with shoes.

Lord help us.

Well, you know if you ever need

anything, I'm always here.

- (ODDBALL FARTS)

- Oddball!

- Gross!

- Oh! Oh, wow.

- Eugh, yuck!

- That'd make an onion cry.

That is disgusting.

Definitely yuck!

Oddball, that is wrong.

(PENGUIN CALLING)

Hello, little one.

(WHIMPERS)

(ODDBALL WHIMPERS AND BARKS)

BRADLEY:
Reopening the village

is the first stop

in my tourism initiative.

We have costumed re-enactors,

this delightful

southern right whale.

Oh, guys! I love you for

being on time. Okay, here.

MAN:
Right, there. Nice

and slow. Come on, come on.

BRADLEY:
Place it here.

This is the piece de resistance

of the entire show.

WOMAN:
Is it good?

There are only two of these

projectors in the entire world.
