Oddball and the Penguins Page #6

---

down to 17 penguins, guys.

But this is their home.

They're just gonna swim back.

Look, I know,

but nothing's working,

so... how about a final push?

Zoe, I need more fox traps

and poison.

We should do a count

each morning. And, Jack...

I think I need you here

every night.

Every...? Yeah. Yeah.

Never mind.

I'll... I'll figure it out.

Oh, this is totally gonna

make a difference, isn't it?

I'm sorry, Mum.

All in favour

of the beekeeping tours?

- All opposed?

- Nay.

Motion denied.

Sorry, Eloise. Maybe

if you had fewer stings, dear.

You know...

I'm under a lot of pressure

to get things moving here

after the Maritime

Village mess.

I feel like the community

doesn't really

have a place

in the tourist initiative.

They're relevant

because they live here.

More listening, less talking.

Who's next?

Rich, from the Whale Watchers.

- Afternoon, council members.

- Here we go again.

This town has

an incredible untapped asset.

Every day,

the southern right whale

swims along our shores,

just going to waste.

I doubt the whales

see it that way.

You can't just come here and say

the same thing every meeting.

Those lovely creatures deserve

a state-of-the-art facility.

Sorry, gentlemen,

I'm gonna stop you right there.

The first thing that I explored

when I came to town

was a whale watching centre.

There's no place for it.

All of the good vantage points

along the coast

are either owned by farmers

who will not sell,

or they're

government-protected.

Well, yes,

that is the case right now.

But... what if

in the very near future,

there was a place

to build our centre?

Plus we'd have a gift shop,

so... cha-ching.

Enough of this.

Judge, call a vote.

I'm sorry, Mayor, just

one moment, have you found

a suitable location

for a whale watching centre?

- Seems we've found a loophole.

- Yeah.

Really? Well, I'm surprised

that I didn't find that.

I am a huge fan of loopholes.

You know, ladies and gentlemen,

the Maritime Village

will reopen.

That's a given.

But this... this is...

Well, this is the logical

next step in your town's image.

You want tourism dollars, huh?

You want...

you want sustainable jobs?

You want a solution that fits

with your outdoorsy image?

- Looking good, Mr Slater.

- The WWW.

Warrnambool Whale Watchers.

I like that! That is sticky.

It's sticky. It's fresh.

It's right now.

Rich the whale watcher

is onto something.

We'll have the village

to show us the past

and we'll have the new centre

to show us the future.

- All in favour?

- Aye.

Motion approved.

Hold on. We don't know

where their spot is yet.

- Yeah, sure we do.

- Middle Island.

What? How did you know that?
