Skipper: Happy ding-dong birthday, ya little scamp! Skipper: You mess with the bull, you get the horns, Private. The last remaining home in America's nanny states for those succulent and chemically-hazerdous bits of puffed heaven called. Private: A vending machine? Skipper: Well, not just any vending machine, Private. Skipper: Oh, well, we got you something else. I think to be a meaningful and valued member of this team. Skipper: Private, if you could have anything you wanted in the whole wide world, what would it be? Private: Well, gee, Skipper. So tonight, Private, we celebrate your birthday by infiltrating the United States Gold Depository in Fort Knox! Skipper: 10 years ago, on this very day, a tiny egg hatched, and our world got a little cuter. Private: Where are we going? Skipper: The future, boys. ![]() other 5%? Kowalski: Adventuring and glory like no penguins have ever seen before. Kowalski, what's our trajectory? Kowalski: 95% certain we're still doomed. We've got each other, and if that ain't a family, I don't know what is. Skipper: No one's gonna die! You know what you've got, kid? You've got us. Private: Wh-wha.? Kowalski: What? I-I thought that was what we were all nodding about. Skipper: Daaagh!! That is disgusting! I think I have amniotic sac in my mouth! Private: Hello! Are you my family? Kowalski: You don't have a family, and we're all going to die. awesome at this! Skipper: Boys, we did it! Mission accomplished! Hey, we can do our thing! High 1! Skipper: Ooh. Skipper: Kowalski, analysis? Kowalski: We are really. You know what? I reject nature! Skipper: Who's with me? something deep down in my gut tells me that it just doesn't make any sense at all. Why do you think there are always documentary crews filming us? Penguin #8: Well, sorry, kid. ![]() Skipper: Why not? Penguin #6: Well, it's a dangerous world out there and we're just penguins. Skipper: Hey, anybody see that? That's an egg! Is somebody gonna go get it? Penguin #5: We can't do that. Skipper: Oh, well, what's the point of these? Skipper: Whoa, I like it! Hey, this could be our thing! What're we gonna call it? Let's call it the, uh. Kowalski: Skipper, we appear to be flightless. Kowalski, Rico, engage aerial surveillance. We'll just fly to the front of the line and see for ourselves. Who could take these frisky snow-clowns.? Skipper: Seriously? Does anyone even know where we're marching to? Penguin #1: Who cares? Penguin #2: I question nothing. Look at them, tumbling onto their chubby bum bums. Joyous, frolicking, waddling, cute and cuddly life. Documentary filmmaker: And not just any life… penguins. The Skipper looks over his team and smiles, “Well boys, it’s going to be ice cold sushi for breakfast.Dialogue Documentary filmmaker: Antarctica, an inhospitable wasteland, but even here, on the Earth's frozen bottom, we find life. The penguins divert the boat to Antarctica. Instead, he orchestrates an escape from their crate and, under his focused leadership, the penguin commandoes overpower the human crew, and take the ship. A turn for the worse, but Skipper does not let this discourage his men. The animals are crated up and put on a boat to be transferred to a wild animal park in Africa. Skipper and his men are caught up in a dragnet to recapture the zoo animals. A tough job, but Skipper’s team is a dedicated bunch and they finally manage to dig outside the walls and escape the zoo! Other zoo animals are inspired by the penguins’ success and decide to go AWOL, as well. With only plastic spoons and Popsicle sticks, the tenacious penguins dig an escape tunnel (much like in “The Great Escape”) right through the concrete and rebar in the floor of their cage. When we first meet Skipper we see he is bent on escape. His men, Rico, Kowalski, and Private, follow Skipper without question – to hell and back if necessary. The Skipper is an efficient, effective leader who commands the respect of his fellow penguins – not by barking orders like a drill sergeant – but by his no nonsense, confident demeanor. He is determined to escape the zoo and lead his men back to their natural home in Antarctica. Skipper sees himself and his men as POWs. Skipper is the leader of a crack commando team of penguins that live in Manhattan at the Central Park Zoo. ![]()
