Runt, that's enough! Don't make Mommy take away your Streisand collection!

Runt

Mom, you leave Barbra out of this!

Dog

Why can't you keep that child of yours under control?

I'm telling you the truth. Dad! Dad, I'm not making this up. You gotta believe me this time.

Buck
[pauses]

No, son. I don't.

Buck

What, what? You have to go to the bathroom? [Alien kid shakes head] You want juice? [kid shakes head again] A snack? [kid shakes head again] Corndog? On a stick? [Kirby starts to lose temper] Want to play some golf? What do you want?

Kirby
[makes irritated noises]
Buck

I stink at this...

Melvin

Why did you take our child?

Buck

Hey, hey! Just... [gulps] Just hold on there, buddy! My son did not take your kid! You were the one that left him behind! That's bad parenting, and I should know!

Melvin

Silence, silence, silence, silence! Release the child!

Buck

Okay.

Okay, okay.

Tina
[Kirby returns to his mother]

Sweetheart! Oh, Kirby, I'm so happy to see you! My darling!

Buck
[sighs]

That was close.

At least they're back together. They got their kid.

Melvin

You have violated intergalatic law 90210! A charge punishable by immediate particle disintegration!

Buck
[while being aimed at with particle disintegration alongside Chicken Little]

Oh, snap.

Buck

You gotta be ready to listen to your children, even if they have nothing to say.

Buck Cluck
[One year later...] [chuckling]

A movie, a movie. They're making a movie. When? When will everybody forget your big mistake? First it was all over the papers, then they wrote a book about it, then the book on tape, then the board game, the spoons with your face on it, and the website, the commemorative plates. You saw them, right?

Yeah. I saw them.

Buck Cluck

Can't eat off 'em, but they're there.

Well, they're not microwave-safe.

Buck Cluck

You saw the billboards?

I saw them.

Buck Cluck
[A stork comes by and slams his head at the window, instead of the door. A bull comes out of the store, wipes the window, then goes back inside]

Ha! There's a bumper sticker. I knew it was only a matter of time. Billboards I could live with. Posters I could even live with. But a bumper sticker. It's like glued on forever.

It doesn't matter. You know why? Because I've got a plan.

Buck Cluck

Yeah, about that. Well, remember how I told you it would be better for you to lay low, don't call attention to yourself?

Yes, but I...

Buck Cluck

See, it's like a game. Yeah, a game of hide-and-seek, except the goal is never to be found, ever!

Buck
[stammering]

Great! [chuckles] Now, we've got a plan, right? I'll see ya later! Remember, lay low.

[Chicken Little gets off the car]

Yeah, okay. Bye.

Puppy
[He waves goodbye]

Look, Mama! There's the crazy chicken!

Poodle

Yes, it is! Crazy chicken. You're so smart. We don't make eye contact. Bye!

Buck Cluck

Chicken Little! [Kirby screams] What? Where's your head? We gotta get outta here! Come on! Come on... You, with the running and the jumping!

Dad, no, wait.

What are you guys doing? We gotta get outta here! It's like... It's like War of the Worlds out there!

Buck Cluck

Stop pulling!

Just listen to me for one second! It's not dangerous!

We are under attack! Will you two stop messing around and deal with the problem?

[to Buck Cluck]

You're never there for me!

Buck Cluck

What?

Okay, that's not what I had in mind, but...

You're never there for me. I mean, you were there when I won the game, but not when I thought the sky fell and not at the ball field and certainly not now!

This is good! Keep going, keep going!

You've been ashamed since the acorn thing happened. We have to talk because Modern Mallard says avoiding closure can lead to molting and I'm already small and on top of that, I don't think I could handle being bald!

Buck Cluck

I... I didn't realize, son. I never meant to...The acorn, the sky, I mean, the whole... [sighs, chuckles] You're right. You're right. Your mom, she was...You know, she was always good with stuff like this. Me...I'm gonna need a lot of work. But you need to know that I love you, no matter what. And I'm sorry, I... And I'm sorry if I ever made you feel like that was something you had to earn. [Buck Cluck and Chicken Little hug]

Uh... Uh... And we're good. Let's go. Let's go.

Okay, Dad. Now, all we gotta do is return helpless little Kirby.

Buck Cluck

Return this whatever it is? This is crazy! Crazy! Crazy wonderful! Just tell me what you need me to do.

Do you really mean it?

Buck Cluck

You bet! Anything, son.

Come on, Dad. We've got a planet to save.

Buck Cluck

Crazy supportive. That's me! Ohh! This thing likes to nibble, doesn't it?

[to Abby]

By the way, I'd like to say I've always found you extremely attractive. [kisses Abby]

[giggles]

Now that's closure.

Wait, wait, what's going on? Oh, they've given her an alien mind-wipe! [?]

Buck Cluck

Okay, son. What do we do now?

Uh, okay. This is a piece of cake, Dad. All we have to do is take the kid down the street to the giant metal alien.

[?]

Oh. We surrender! Here! Take the key to the city!

[?]

Key to my car?

[?]

Tic Tac?

[?]

Forget plan A!

Buck Cluck
[?]

Uh-oh.

Buck Cluck
[?]

Okay, okay, what now, son? Who, by the way, I support 100 percent.

Uh, plan B?

Buck Cluck

Ha-ha! Of course! Plan B! What is plan B?

Buck Cluck
[Kirby jabbering]

What? You have to go to the bathroom? You want juice? A snack? Corn dog on a stick? Want to play some golf? What do you want?! I stink at this. I'm a horrible father.

Buck Cluck
[Kirby speaks alien language]

No, no, I am.

Kirby

Poo-tee-tah.

Oh, is that your parents?

Kirby

Pooteetah, pooteetah. [sputtering]

That's it, Dad! Plan B! All we have to do is weave through traffic through town square while avoiding death rays from alien robots. We get to Town Hall, climb up to the roof and give the kid back to its parents.

Buck
[girl screaming] [zapping]

Yeah! Charge!
