Nana

That was beautiful. Now let's eat!

Dad! Look out!

Zuba

What the...?

Alex! Get in!

She’s got a gun! Let’s get out while we can!

What?

She's got a gun! Let's get out while we can! Pass it on.

[chimpanzees chatter the message all the way up the chain]

He said, "Let's have some fun and take out the dam. Basset hound."

Skipper! Alex wants to take out the dam!

Alright. [on the intercom] But it's his funeral.

What?

[on the intercom]

Hard to port!

Aye aye, Skippy!

Bring it on! Bring it on! Whoo!

Nana

Come back! That's my dinner!

Kowalski, full throttle. Music! (Private puts in a tape that plays "At The Copa (Copacabana)" by Barry Manilow.)

Oh, I like this song.

Kowalski

It never gets old.

It does have a catchy hook. Come about! Bring her in low! [on the intercom] Hold on to your skirts! It's dam-busting time!

Hold on tight, baby! Here we go!

Tell them No! Pull up! They'll kill us! There's got to be another way! Pass it on.

[The chimpanzees chatter the message all the way up the chain]

They said, "Don't pull up; kill us! There's no other way. Basset Hound."

Are you sure?

Men, there's no sacrifice greater than someone else's.

Struts.

That's got to be the second biggest slingshot I've ever seen. But it's gonna have to do. [on the intercom] Attention. This is your captain speaking.

[Private is giving a safety demonstration to the passengers] [shows life vest]

In the event of a water emergency, place the vest over your head, and kiss your… [pulls on the red tab, causing the vest to inflate and explode] ...Goodbye.

New York City! Here we come, baby!

...Sit back, relax, pray to your personal god this hunk of junk flies.

Personal god. Hunk of what?

Kowalski

we are go, sir.

Mort

Open the door! I'm outside! [screams]

In case of a loss in cabin pressure, place the mask over your face... [places oxygen mask over his face, muffling his voice] ...To hide your terrified expression from the other passengers.

[showing his detached seatbelt]

Excuse me, miss, but aren't these supposed to be attached to my seat?

[removes the mask]

No, sir.

Kowalski
[The red bulb on the plane's fuel gauge is flashing]

Skipper, look.

Analysis.

Kowalski

It looks like a small incandescent bulb, designed to indicate something out of the ordinary, like a malfunction.

I find it pretty and somewhat hypnotic.

Kowalski

That too, sir.

Right. Rico, manual!

Rico

Catch.

[catches the manual and promptly smashes the bulb with it]

Problemo solved.

Kowalski

Sir, we may be out of fuel.

What makes you think that?

Kowalski

We've lost engine 1. [out the left window, engine #1 sputters out] And engine 2 is no longer on fire. [out the right window, engine #2 stops smoking and sputters]

Buckle up, boys. [covers "Doll's" eyes] Don't look, doll, this might get hairy. [on the intercom] Attention. This is your captain speaking. I've got good news and bad news. The good news is we'll be landing immediately. Bad news is... we're crash landing. [the plane falls out of the sky]

Rico

Uh-oh.

[All start screaming]

When it comes to air travel, we know you have no choice whatsoever. But thanks again for choosing Air Penguin.

Kowalski

Skipper, we have all the parts we need. But, we're slightly behind schedule.

How slightly?

Kowalski

6 to 9 years.

69 years?

Kowalski

No. 6 to 9 years.

[on the intercom]

Private, what happened to our thumbs?

Haven't seen them since yesterday sir. [drops his screwdriver] Darn you Darwin! [the car's hood closes on him]

Nobody goes AWOL on my watch. Private! You're coming with me! [the inside of the front of the car explodes] Rico! You're coming with me! [Rico welds a car in half]

Rico

Yes, Skipper.

We'll track them down and bring them in for court martial.

That won't be necessary. We've recruited a few extra thumbs for you, Skipper. [camera pans to a whole lot of chimpanzees]

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.

Oh, I doubt that. [chimpanzees screeching]

[on the intercom]

Enough lollygagging. Now let's get to work. We'll divide into three groups. Group Alpha, you're in charge of sheet metal fabrication. Group Bronson, you'll handle assembly. Group George Peppard, you'll handle craft services. Any questions? [Mason tries to say something] Good, now let's get to work.
