[whilst Wilbur drinks from a can of cream soda]

We must leave tonight.

Wilbur
[spit takes]

Tonight?! [coughs; laughs] Come on. You're kiddin' me, right? [laughs; opens his window] Have ya looked outside? It's suicide out there! [laughs; closes window] Oh, no. Ohhhhhhh, no! I'm afraid your jolly little holiday will have to wait. [laughs] What a bunch of jokers!

But you don't understand. A boy needs our help. He's in trouble!

Wilbur

Boy? You mean, "little kid" kinda boy?

He was kidnapped!

Wilbur

Kidnapped? Oh! That-that's awful! Lockin' up a little kid... Kids should be free! Free to run wild through the house on Saturday mornings, free to have cookies and milk, and get those little white moustaches, you know, the-- Nobody's gonna take a kid's freedom while I'm around! Nobody ain't! Hear me?!

Does that mean you'll take us?

Wilbur

Storm or no storm, Albatross Airlines, [salutes] at your service!

Captain, is this a non-stop flight to Australia?

Wilbur

Well, uh, not exactly no. Uh... I can definitely say no. We're gonna have to make connections with a bigger bird. Non-stop? What do I look like, Charles Lindbergh?

Wilbur
[over radio]

Mugwump tower, Mugwump tower, this is Albatross 1-3, requesting permission to land, over!

Albatross? Let's see. [examines size chart of different birds] Finch, wren, scrub-bird, lorikeet, freckled duck, galah, kookaburra, parrot, cockatoo, albatro– Alb-albatross–?! It's a jumbo! [gets on radio] Negative, 1-3! You'll have to turn back! Our runway isn't long enough for a bird your size!

Wilbur

Not long enough?! Look, pal! I can land this thing on a dime!

Uh, Wilbur, if the runway isn't long enough--

Wilbur

Listen! You can't let these radar jockeys push you around! Just leave it to me, all right?

I say again, mate, our runway is too short!

Wilbur

And I say again, "mate", I'm comin' in!

Crazy Yank!

Doctor

Forceps!

Forceps!

Wilbur

Oh no... What now?

Doctor

Spinal streculator!

Wilbur

Ohh! That's gonna hurt!

Doctor

Artery router!

Wilbur

Mother!

Doctor

This is rusted tight. I wouldn't dream of using such a tool. Bring me the epidermal tissue disruptor!

Wilbur

THE EPIDERMAL WHAT?!
[The nurses rev up a chainsaw]

Wilbur
[Wilbur and Bernard reunite at Marahute's nest]

Wait a minute. What the heck are you doin' up here, anyway?

The kidnapper took the boy and Jake, and Miss Bianca.

Wilbur

Miss Bianca?! Miss Bianca's in trouble?! Oh, no! That's terrible! We gotta do something. Bernard, I'm disappointed in you! Hidin' under a nest while Miss Bianca needs our help. Let me tell you something, buddy!

Wilbur...

Wilbur

You-you-you start searchin' the desert for her, and I-I-I'll scan the coastline. Yeah, that's what I'll do.

Wilbur...

Wilbur

I'll ask the chicks on the beach to...

Wilbur!

Wilbur

Huh? What?

Listen. There are some chicks here that need your help.

Wilbur

Really? [Bernard sits on Marahute's eggs and smiles. Wilbur understands what he means but resists.] Ohhhhh, no! Wait a minute. Hold it. I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong. Don't even-- No! [Bernard scowls at him] Don't look at me like that! You're getting "no" from me! You understand? No! I will not ever sit on those eggs! [Cut to Wilbur sitting on eggs] Aw, nuts! Gotta learn to be more assertive. "No" is "no" is "no". [to the eggs] Hey - quit movin' in there.

[Cody runs to the edge, stops, looks down, and begins to climb down.]

He's going down the cliff! C'mon, we gotta warn him! [Cody arrives at the nest; sees the eggs; checks them out; he covers them up, and places one of the golden feathers on them.]

Cody!

Cody

Huh? Who are you?

Oh, there is no time to explain, you're in GREAT danger.

Cody
[Marahute's screech is heard at a distance]

Marahute?! It can't be!

Oh Cody, Cody wait!!

Cody
[sees Marahute]

She's alive!!

Cody, please!! You MUST listen!!

That's right, Mc.. McLeach is on the cliff.

Cody
[looks up and sees McLeach's truck, begins to yells and plead]

Marahute, NO!!! Turn back!! [?]' Turn back!! [?]' Stay away!! [?] It's a trap!! [McLeach launches the trap; Marahute is caught in it.]

I got her!!! [?] I got her!!! Did you see that?! [laughs] Perfect shot!! Per-fect shot! She's mine!! [laughs] All mine!!!!

Cody

NO!!! [Cody jumps for the trap/bundle as it is hoisted up; Jake lassos Cody's foot.]

Hold tight you 2, we're going for a ride! [Bernard misses the rope]

Bianca!!

Bernard! [Cody begins to cut the ropes on the trap.]

[grumbles]

...Meddlin' brats. Gonna get rid of him for good. [McLeach tries to shake Cody off.]

Cody

Help I'm slipping!

[?]

Cody, don't move!! [Jake throws a rope and lassos Cody's foot.]

Okay, that's it! This evil poacher is going down! If it's a last thing I do!

[hoists the whole group up and drops them into his cage; laughs; whispering]

There she is Joanna.... just look at her.... look at the size of her... the RAREST bird in the world. That bird's gonna make me rich... [chuckles] FILTHY rich. [laughs; announcing] I got what I want. Now, what does Joanna want? Does she wanna make sure that bird... STAYS rare? [egging her on] How about some great, big, triple A, jumbo, eagle eggs!!! Eh?! You want 'em?! Eh?! You want 'em? Go get 'em girl!!

Cody

NO!! Please!! [Joanna runs for the cliff, sees how far down it is and balks in fear.]

[mocking]

Why, whatever is the matter Joanna? [She points down; McLeach kicks her over the edge.] Git!! [Joanna goes down to eat the eggs; she searches the nest for them; finds the eggs; takes a bite of one; it is rock hard; she tries another with the same result; she drops one egg on the other which lands on her tail and she shrieks in pain, screaming from on top of cliff] OW! Jake! You bit me! That HURTS!! [Jake: Leave eagle eggs alone, OR I'LL NEVER LEAVE THE WATERFALL EVER *AGAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!*] JOANNA!!! [?] You hurry up and eat those eggs and get your tail up here! MOVE IT!! [Joanna moves the "eggs" to the edge; knocks them over the cliff with her tail; she yanks on the rope for McLeach to bring he up; as she does, another rock falls that looks like an egg; Bernard comes out of hiding.]

[to the eggs]

O.k. you guys, she fell for it. Looks like the coast is clear.

Wilbur
[flying in to Marahute's nest]

Girls? Girls, I'm here! [laughs] Where are you, you little chickees you? [laugh]

[puzzled at first]

Wilbur? [louder] Wilbur!

Wilbur
[screams and falls off the edge and gets McLeach]

Don't EVER do that to me again! Oh... boy... I lost a lot of feathers on that one.

Wilbur am I glad to see you! Give me a hand with these eggs will ya? [rolling the eggs out of hiding.]

Wilbur

Yeah, sure. Wait a minute.... what the heck are you doing up here anyway?

The kidnapper took the boy and Jake.... Miss Bianca.

Wilbur

Miss Bianca?? Miss Bianca's in trouble?!? Woah! Geez! That's terrible! We gotta do something! [chastising] Bernard, I'm disappointed in you. Hidin' under a nest while Miss Bianca needs our help. I gotta talk to you mister...

Wilbur...

Wilbur
[fumbling]

You should start searchin' the desert for her, and I'll scan the coastline!

Wilbur...

Wilbur

That's what I'll do.... I'll ask the chicks on the beach.

Wilbur!
Wilbur: Huh? What?!

Now listen! [Bernard points to the eggs] There's some chicks right here that need your help.

Wilbur

Really? [Bernard sits on an egg, and pats it.] Oh no.... wait a minute... hold it.... I know what you're thinkin' and you're wrong. Don't even.... no... [Bernard gives him a stare] don't look at me like that! You're gettin' no from me! You understand? No! I will not.. EVER sit on those eggs! [scene changes to Wilbur sitting on the eggs] Aww... nuts! [sigh]... [to himself] Gotta learn to be more assertive. No is no is NO. [to the eggs] Hey, guys, quit movin' in there!
