3 scenes

My father loved this flock. And he will always be a part of it. He gave his life to give us ours. [Reggie starts to leave out of guilt] So, we will honor him. [Reggie sadly looks back at Jenny] But right now, we need to do what we must to survive.

[sadly]

This is all my fault. [leaves]

They have taken our home. They've taken our family. [Jake realizes Reggie is gone] We have only one choice now. We will fight! We will stand and fight! This is our home! No more hiding! We will attack the fort, free our family and make our flock whole once again! Who's with me!?

Ranger

We fight!

Danny

We fight, brother! [the flock chants as Jake runs after Reggie, meanwhile Reggie sadly walks through the forest to get to STEVE]

STEVE

Good morning, Reggie. Why the long face? That is a punch line from a joke.

Just take me home.

Reggie, wait! The flock is in trouble!

[angrily]

Yup. (They are all in grave danger.) And you know why? Because of us! We didn't save anyone. We made everything worse.

But, Reggie, the Great Turkey told me—

[angrily moves Jake's wings off of him]

There is no Great Turkey! There is no mission. You made it all up in your head. It's all a lie. [Jake slumps] Now, I'm leaving, alright? Before we mess things up even more! And if you're smart, you'll come with me.

[close to tears]

I can't give up.

Yeah, if you're smart. [turns his back on Jake and enters STEVE sits on the seat] Look who I'm talking to.
[STEVE and Reggie disappears back into the present, leaving the disheartened Jake behind]

[sighs in remorse as he goes back inside]

See you later, STEVE.

STEVE

Goodbye, Reggie.

[Reggie sadly opens the door] [gasps softly to see a Future Reggie]
Future Reggie

Hey. (Hold on right there.)

[screams as he slams the door in fear and panic trying to keep it shut]
Future Reggie
[inside the house]

Hey, hey, hey! Wait! Wait!

[strains to keep the door shut, but accidentally pulls the door knob off and sees his future self coming out]
Future Reggie

Snap out of it Reggie, we don't have time for this.

Ah! [turns to run away with Future Reggie chasing him]

Future Reggie

Hey! [tackles Reggie and gets him up] I'm breaking like 100 time travel rules, and this might destroy the universe, but I don't have a choice. I've come back from the future to tell you something really important.

What is it? [brief pause]

Future Reggie

You're an idiot.

Whoa! That's a little harsh. I may not be a genius but...

Future Reggie

Everything you want is back in 1621. Jenny, Jake, a whole flock of friends.

Yeah, a flock that I totally messed up. They're better off without me.

Future Reggie 2

No! [comes out of the bushes]

Reggie & Future Reggie

Ah! [jumps in surprise]

Future Reggie 2

I've come from even farther in the future to tell you that Jenny and the flock are gonna attack the fort. They don't stand a chance.

Oh, no. What do we do?

Future Reggie

We need a plan.

Exactly. [the Sacred Time Knob shines in his wing] Whoa. The Sacred Time Knob.

Future Reggie 2

The Sacred Time Knob!

Future Reggie

The Sacred Time Knob:

[realizes]

Wait.

Future Reggie 2

Yeah?

You know what this means?

Future Reggie

What does it mean?

[laughs about the Sacred Time Knob]

It's so simple. It means... I... need to go find The Great Turkey. I bet he's behind the door that this opens!

STEVE

Oh, come on! [Reggie turns around to STEVE in confusion] You are The Great Turkey.

[amazed]

I'm The Great Turkey?

Future Reggie 1 and 2

You're The Great Turkey. [look at each other happily]

Which means Jake was telling the truth the whole time? Wow, I really am an idiot!

Future Reggie

I hate to say I told you so.

Wait, if I'm an idiot, then you're an idiot. [Future Reggie nods in agreement]

Future Reggie 2

No, no, guys, guys, guys, technically, we're all idiots. But we're also all...

All Reggies

The Great Turkey!

Future Reggie

My mind is being literally blown right now!

Future Reggie 3
[comes out of the bushes]

Mine, too!

All Reggies

Ah!

Future Reggie 3

I came back to make sure we stop and appreciate just how awesome this is.

Are you sure you won't stay here with the flock?

I'm a turkey of action, Reggie.

Well, I guess this is good-bye.

No, Reggie. Good-byes are just hellos, carried across the wind until our paths... intersect once again.

That's beautiful… and confusing.

Jake, Reggie, and Jenny
[laugh as Jake hugs Reggie and pats him on the head when he starts to leave with STEVE]

Wild, undomesticated turkeys of the past. I'll never forget you. [the flock, Reggie & Jenny wave good-bye to Jake & STEVE as Jake sits on the seat]

STEVE

Where would you like to go, Jake?

Wherever we are needed, STEVE. Wherever we are needed. [Jake and STEVE leave as Reggie and Jenny watch]

[to Jenny]

So, this is Turkey Paradise. [romantically kisses her, much to her amazement & her left eye drops]

[sighs in amazement]

Wow, you're moving pretty fast for a Pisces. Whatever that is.

STEVE

Oh my. [zaps into black]
