Penguins of Madagascar

Penguins of Madagascar is a 2014 American 3D computer-animated action comedy film, produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It is a spin-off of the Madagascar film series, and takes place right after the events of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, following the penguins Skipper, Kowalski, Rico and Private in their own spy thriller.

Dialogue

Documentary filmmaker: [first lines; narrating] Antarctica, an inhospitable wasteland. But even here, on the Earth's frozen bottom, we find life. [The wind blows away the snow, revealing an egg and it rolls down the hill] And not just any life… penguins. Joyous, frolicking, waddling, cute and cuddly life. Look at them, tumbling onto their chubby bum-bums. Who could take these frisky snow-clowns...

[The older penguins almost fall on baby Skipper, Rico and Kowalski, who move out of the way]

Skipper: [interrupting the narration] Seriously? Does anyone even know where we're marching to?

Penguin #1: Who cares?

Penguin #2: I question nothing.

Penguin #3 and #4: Me, too.

Skipper: Well, fine. We'll just fly to the front of the line and see for ourselves. Kowalski, Rico, engage aerial surveillance.

[They flap their wings but cannot fly]

Kowalski: Skipper, we appear to be flightless.

Skipper: [looks at his wings] Oh, well, what's the point of these?

[Rico seems to have an idea. He hits Skipper's wing in some sort of high five]

Skipper: Whoa, I like it! Hey, this could be our thing! What're we gonna call it? Let's call it the, uh... high one.

[An egg rolls past the trio]

Skipper: Hey, anybody see that? That's an egg! Is somebody gonna go get it?

Penguin #5: We can't do that.

Skipper: Why not?

Penguin #6: Well, it's a dangerous world out there and we're just penguins. You know, nothing but cute and cuddly.

Penguin #7: Yeah. Why do you think there are always documentary crews filming us?

[The view zooms out to see two men each with a camera and a microphone for filming]

Penguin #8: Well, sorry, kid. You know, we lose a few eggs every year. It's just nature.

Skipper: Oh, right, nature. I guess that makes sense, but something... something deep down in my gut tells me that it just doesn't make any sense at all. You know what? I reject nature!

[The other penguins gasp]

Skipper: Who's with me?

[With a shout, Skipper goes after the egg, much to Kowalski's and Rico's confusion]

[The penguins have just blown up an old ship while saving the egg from leopard seals]

Skipper: Kowalski, analysis?

Kowalski: We are really... awesome at this!

Skipper: Boys, we did it! Mission accomplished! Hey, we can do our thing! High one!

[They all high one, until Skipper accidentally hits the egg they just saved]

Skipper: Ooh. My bad.

Rico: Uh-oh!

[The penguins all look in awe as the egg is about to hatch]

Skipper: Look, it's... it's the miracle of birth.

Kowalski: A moment of extraordinary beauty.

[Suddenly, the egg cracks open, much to the disgust of the trio]

Skipper: Daaagh! That is disgusting! I think I have amniotic sac in my mouth!

[Much to the trio's surprise, the newly hatched Private gets up and chuckles. Skipper, Kowalski and Rico look at him lovingly]

Private: Hello. Are you my family?

[The trio turns, knowing that they're far away from land, and nod to each other before turning back to face Private]

Kowalski: [Before Skipper can say anything] You don't have a family, and we're all going to die. Sorry.

Private: [concerned] Wh-Wha...?

[Skipper elbows Kowalski]

Kowalski: What? I-I thought that was what we were all nodding about.

Skipper: [hits Kowalski again] No one's gonna die! [to Private] You know what you've got, kid? You've got us. We've got each other, and if that ain't a family, I don't know what is.

[Skipper salutes Private, who does the same thing. He tussles his head]

Skipper: So adorable. Kowalski, what's our trajectory?

Kowalski: 95 percent certain we're still doomed.

Skipper: And the, uh... other five percent?

Kowalski: Adventuring and glory like no penguins have ever seen before.

Skipper: I'll take that action.

Private: Where are we going?

Skipper: The future, boys. Glorious future!

[At the gold depository of Fort Knox, on Private's birthday]

Skipper: Private, if you could have anything you wanted in the whole wide world, what would it be?

Private: Well, gee, Skipper. I think to be a meaningful and valued member of this team.

Skipper: Oh, well, we got you something else.

[The views pans to a vending machine in the break room]

Private: A vending machine?

Skipper: Well, not just any vending machine, Private. The last remaining home in America's nanny states for those succulent and chemically-hazerdous bits of puffed heaven called...

Private: [gasps] Cheezy Dibbles!

Skipper: [Skipper gives Private a coin] Happy ding-dong birthday, ya little scamp!

[The penguins, having been captured by the vending machine, are flown to a submarine in Venice. Skipper looks around from the cage]

Skipper: We're behind enemy lines and incredibly thirsty. Rico, bust us out of this delicious prison.

[Rico sticks out his tongue holding a paper clip and uses it to unlock the cage door.]

Skipper: Nice work, Rico. You're a meaningful and valued member of this team.

[As the penguins exit the cage, Private becomes upset. Then he looks at the paper clip, takes it and swallows it. He tries coughing it up, but no success]

[A giant device wheels over, and a laser pops out, pointing at the penguins]

Kowalski: It looks like some sort of giant laser sent to kill us all, sir!

[Skipper steps back from the laser's angle]

Private: Ooh, another one!

Skipper, Kowalski and Rico: NO! [stop Private from pressing a third button. Suddenly, drops of water comes down on the panel and on the flippers. The penguins look up to see something]

Male voice: ♪ Naughty, naughty ♪

[Dr. Octavis Brine, a scientist, walks in]

Dr. Octavius Brine: Pretty birds belong in their cages.

[Dr. Brine is seen walking on the catwalk, but the camera shows that he is walking upside down. He drops down and his limbs are tangled up. The penguins groan in disgust. Dr. Brine gets himself in that tangled position, and screws his head right]

Penguins: Ew!

Dr. Brine: Now, that's just hurtful. And I was so happy to see you again. [untangles himself] Skipper… [Skipper gasps] …Kowalski, Rico… [bends down to Private] and sweet little Private. [taps on Private's beak] Boop!

Skipper: Who are you?

Dr. Brine: The humans know me as Dr. Octavius Brine - renowned geneticist, cheese enthusiast, and frequent donor to NPR pledge drives… but you know me by a different, much older name. A name perhaps you hope you'd never hear again. A phantom! A shadow of a former life! I... am... [transforms into a purple octopus, who emerges from the costume]

Dave:...Dave!

[The penguins gave long surprised looks at Dave with the Dr. Brine wig still on his head]

Skipper: Kowalski?

Kowalski: Sorry, sir, no clue.

Dave: You seriously don't remember me?

[Skipper's eyes shift from side to side]

Skipper: Dave! Dave! Right! Oh, yeah, long time. Uh, how's the wife?

[Dave punches the wall above Skipper's head]

Dave: I've never been married! You may not remember me, but I could never forget you.

[Dave grabs a snow globe and shakes it]

Dave: Let's shake up some old memories. New York City. [A flashback shows the Central Park Zoo; voiceover] The Central Park Zoo. Life was good! Roomy tank, great location, monkey house views. And of course, my adoring legions of fans!

Girl: Cool!

Dave: [voiceover] Dave! The octopus of 1,000 tricks. [pulls his tentacle through his ear, bringing a ball]

Boy: Awesome!

Dave: [voiceover] I was the total package. [takes out a jar, and squeezes himself in it, then squirts ink, making him hover]

Man: [offscreen] Hey, kids! Get up here! You need to see this!

Woman: Come on, kids! Come on!

[Dave, who looks confused, comes out of the water and sees baby penguins]

Dave: [voiceover] And then, you arrived.

Man: Oh, they're so adorable!

Baby Skipper: Just, uh, smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave.

Dave: [voiceover] And took everything from me.

Girl: They're so adorable!

Woman: Have you ever seen anything cute?

[Dave has been taken from his tank and put in a box on a truck]

Dave: [voiceover] Four adorable baby penguins! With you around, no one wanted an old octopus anymore. "Out you go, Dave!" [The scene changes to the San Diego Zoo, with Dave in his tank next to a penguin exhibit] And so it went, over and over again. At zoo…

Girl: Dad, look!

Dave: …after aquarium.

Penguin Fan: I can't see the penguins, man!

[A zookeeper rolls Dave away]

Dave: [voiceover] Adorable penguins stole the show.

Penguin Fan: Whoo! Yeah!

[Dave is shipped to the Brazil Zoo, where people watch the penguins dance. Dave stares there, looking sad as an employee goes to the restroom and water is let out of his tank]

Dave: While I was shunned. Forgotten. Unwanted. [in the present] Alone.

Private: That... sounds awful!

Dave: Oh, it was. I came to realize some creatures are born to get all the love. The rest of us get nothing! The only thing that has kept me going all these years is my burning thirst for revenge!

[Skipper and Kowalski stare confusedly]

Dave: And my precious souvenir snow globe collection.

[Rico swallows all the snow globes]

Dave: Ah! What is wrong with you?!

[Rico grunts "I don't know", then swallows the last one]

Skipper: Oh, Daryl, you can't blame us for what happened to you.

[Dave grabs a canister of green liquid]

Dave: Uh, can! That's how this whole revenge thing works. And with this, I've finally had the power to destroy you!

Private: Crikey!

[A group of octopuses surrounds the penguins]

Dave: Nicolas, cage them.

[Private takes a dibble bag out of Rico's body, gives it to Skipper, then he jumps in front of the wolf, who's team has rescued the penguins after the chase in Venice]

Skipper: We're not going anywhere with you. [munches] We don't even know who the heck you are.

Classified: The North Wind is an elite undercover interspecies… [Skipper munches on Cheezy Dibbles each time, interrupting him] The North Wind is an elite undercover interspec… an elite undercover interspecies… task… force. Dedicated to help… helping… Dedicated to help… [groans] Dedicated to helping animals who can't help themselves. [Skipper munches again for the last time] Like penguins.

Skipper: [crumbles up the bag and tosses it] Really? And you are?

Classified: My name is Classified.

Skipper: Classified, eh? What is that, uh, Dutch? I can't really hear the accent.

Classified: Excuse me?

Skipper: There's the accent.

Classified: No, my name isn't "Classified". My name is Classified because I am the leader of this strike team. The seal is Short Fuse, weapons and explosives. The bear is Corporal, our muscle. And the owl is Eva, intelligence and analysis.

[On a wall monitor in North Wind headquarters, Dave appears, his red eyes up-close, with his tentacle in a fist, he does an evil laugh (after a failed call)]]

Kowalski: Dave!

[Everyone glares at Dave]

Dave: Greetings, North Wind! I see you've met my old zoo-mates.

Skipper: We were never mates. There was no mating.

Classified: [Shows him the small vial stolen by the penguins] Turn yourself in, David. You're powerless now that I've stolen your precious Medusa Serum.

Skipper: What, you? You didn't steal that!

Classified: It's over.

Dave: It's over? Then why did I call you? Weird. Oh, maybe it was to show you this! [turns the camera to show them a giant vial containing the serum as two octopuses behold it. Everyone gasps with shock]

Kowalski: That is a lot of serum for four penguins.

Dave: Oh, you thought this was just about you four? No. No, no, no, no. We're just getting started. [takes a selfie] Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go do some shopping… for revenge! [presses a button to turn off the screen, but nothing happens. He presses it again, but nothing still happens]

[The penguins are in a box on a plane to Madagascar]

Kowalski: We must be on a plane.

[The penguins move the box to be free. They have darts on their necks and a dart on Private's butt]

Kowalski: What did the North Wind do to us?

Private: Look! They gave us badges!

[They take off the darts]

Skipper: Not badges, tranquilizer darts! Classified! That low-down dirty dog is trying to kick us off the mission.

Kowalski: He thinks we can't save the penguins because we're just "penguins".

Skipper: Well, penguins are our flesh and feathers! They're us. And if anyone's gonna save us, it's us.

Kowalski: But, Skipper, we've gotta be five miles up. That pretty much limits our options.

Skipper: I make my own options.

[Skipper hits a button; a hatch opens, and all the boxes come flying out of the plane with the penguins]

[Dave, as Dr. Brine, holds up a red card to the penguins who played soccer ball at a Rio de Janeiro zoo]

Dave: Elijah, would you please take them away?

[As an octopus grabs the penguins, Dave laughs as he and the octopus fly away in the helicopter. The North Wind's jet arrives]

Eva: Penguin footprints, still warm. We just missed Dave.

Classified: Blast it! He's gone.

Corporal: So many penguins!

[Corporal starts panicking and stress-eating]

Short Fuse: Boss, he's stress-eating again!

Classified: Corporal?

Eva: [to Corporal] There, there.

Short Fuse: [rubbing Corporal] Rub the angry out of the tummy.

Classified: Coporal? Fo... Focus. We are going to save those helpless penguins because we are the North Wind! And no one, no one breaks the Wind.

Corporal: [salutes; muffled] No one breaks the Wind.

Classified: That’s a good Corporal. Now, we rescued those four penguins already, didn't we? Shipped them off, all cozy and snug, to a Madagascar safe… [to Eva] How come there's beeping?

Eva: [looking at the beeping screen] Sir, those penguins... they never made it to Madagascar.

Classified: [shocked] What? Well, where the dickens are they?

[Elsewhere, the penguins pop out of a sewer. Rico spits out some sand]

Skipper: Kowalski, what are our coordinates?

Kowalski: According to my calculations, we're arrived in the center of Dublin, Ireland.

[The camera zooms out to reveal that the penguins actually arrived in Shanghai, China]

Kowalski: Skipper, look!

Skipper: [looks up and sees the breaking news in Chinese on TV, showing that the penguins from each zoo and aquarium are missing around the world] Huh? Begorrah! Does anyone speak Gaelic?

Kowalski: No, but it looks like Dave's been busy. He's stolen penguins from Guadalajara!

Private: Madrid!

Skipper: Paris!

Kowalski: Athens!

Skipper: Bangalore!

[Rico starts spitting all of Dave's snow globes out of his mouth within two lines]

Kowalski: Dusseldorf!

Private: Osaka!

Kowalski: Rio de Janeiro!

Private: Nairobi!

Skipper: Amsterdam!

Private: Baton Rouge!

Skipper: Dave's snow globe collection.

Kowalski: It's every zoo and aquarium he got kicked out of!

Skipper: Don't tell me where he has been. Tell me where he will have has been next. [Rico starts gagging] Wait, what is it, Rico? It's a book! It's a film! It's a play! [tries to understand Rico] First word. Two syllables. Sounds like… Sounds like "huuh"? Sounds like "hyech"! What starts with "hyech"? [Rico spits the last snow globe out. Skipper picks it up] Shanghai.

Kowalski: [looks at the world map on the TV; Dave has not yet arrived in Shanghai] Dave hasn't been there yet, Skipper. If we hurry, we can still stop him.

Skipper: Target, 30 yards and closing.

Kowalski: In position, Skipper.

Skipper: Rico, report.

Rico: [Saying "In position"]

Skipper: For you, Private.

Private: Yes, Skipper!

Skipper: Here's your mermaid costume.

Private: What?

Skipper: We need a diversion. And, frankly, you're the only one who can pull off that look.

Private: But I can do more, Skipper. I want to help the team. Really help the team. If you think I'm ready, which I am. Assuming you agree. And perhaps even... if you don't?

Skipper: I like the moxie, soldier, but right now, I need a tail on that tush and the cutest smile you've got. [Private's smile fades] You trust me, soldier?

Private: [downbeat; reluctantly] Aye, aye, Skipper.

Classified: Secure the mermaids and find me... [Sees Dave] David the octopus.

Kowalski: [After having dropped a skeleton to trap him] A little late, North Wind.

Skipper: Mission accomplished. High one! [The penguins do their high-one]

Classified: Corporal, take our prisoner... the one that belongs to us... into custody. [Corporal pushes the skeleton aside only for the scuba suit he's in to deflate] What?

Short Fuse: You melted him?! You birds are sick!

Kowalski: [finds an open sewer hatch leading to the pipes of the tanks, knowing that Dave is loose] He's going in through the pipes!

[Having made it to the tank of Mermaid Penguins which Private had been placed into, Dave drains the tank in a whirlpool, taking all the Shanghai penguins]

Private: [Trying to swim away from the whirlpool] Skipper!

Skipper: Private? Private! You got to get out of there! [Noticing the tentacle is about to grab him] No, no, no. No, no, no, no. Private!

Skipper: Private! No!

Private: [gets pulled into the drain with the other penguins in the tank] Skipper! No!

Kowalski: [Breaking the glass with a seal] Okay. Here we go.

Skipper: Move, move, move! He's got Private! He's getting away. He's getting away!

[The penguins chase down Dave in the North Wind's plane, and the North Wind chases after them]

Skipper: [after finding out that Classified had put homing devices on them] You low-down, dirty, mangy, FILTHY, flea-bitten, bum-sniffing, TOILET DRINKER! [slight pause] But... good.

Classified: You see? I told you. You should've left this to the professionals.

Dave: [To the Shanghai penguins and Private] Behold! As I unleash the full power of the Medusa Serum! [to his other henchman] Fire! [fires the ray containing the Medusa Serum at the earlier cricket, mutating it into a larger state that makes him a monster. All the penguins gasp] Yes! It worked! I made a monster! I made a monster! And all you adorable penguins are next!

Private: [normal voice] Crikey!

[Private covers his mouth]

Dave: Who said that? [grabs each Mermaid Penguin] No. No. No. [grabs Private and removes his disguise] Yes! Gentleman, you remember Private.

[Two octopuses and the mutated cricket wave "hello" to Private]

Private: You'll never get away with this Dave! My brothers are coming, and they're gonna get you, and together we'll take a wrecking ball to your whole rotten operation.

Dave: Call off the hunt everyone. Turns out the elite unit will be coming to us. Boop.

[After the North Wind has made a detailed plan to infiltrate the sub, compared to the penguins' drawing on sand]

Short Fuse: Whoo! Way to go, boss! That's North Wind, sucker!

Corporal: Nicely done.

Skipper: ... La-di, blah, blah, blah, blah. A good plan is about more than effecty stuff and... vocabulary words.

Classified And you, you... you certainly know a good plan, I mean, your operation in Shanghai allowed Dave to escape with... your boy. [Successfully guilt-tripping Skipper] I've never lost a member of my team. It must feel... awful. Can't imagine the guilt, the regret, the feeling that, I don't know, that it should have been you. [Skipper stares down at a pebble, which unfolds to look like Private]

Eva: All for penguin plan? [Kowalski and Rico raise their hands] All for North Wind plan? [The North Wind votes, as well as Skipper]

Skipper: His... his is better.

Kowalski: What?

Skipper: I'm sorry, boys, but I can't lead you this time.

Kowalski: But... we're a team, and... and you're our skipper, Skipper. We don't... we don't need these guys.

Skipper: No, Kowalski, but Private does. I think... it's time we leave it to the professionals.

[as Dave prepares to use his ray on Private; the North Wind and penguins have been captured]

Dave: Who's ready to move into live penguin testing?

Skipper: You point that death ray away from Private right now!

Private: It's not a death ray, Skipper! He's gonna turn us into monsters!

Dave: Yepper-doo! "And what comes next, Dave?" Invasion! Ahhh! Horrible mutant penguins released on the streets of New York City!

Kowalski: You're the monster!

Dave: [angrily] Yes! I'm the monster. Everyone made that clear to me every day of my entire life. But now, let's see how much everyone loves you when you’re the monster!

Private: Skipper!

Skipper: You can't take away Private's cuteness!

Kowalski: He's the cute one! [Rico grunts in agreement] That's his thing!

Private: What?

Skipper: It's all the little guy's got! [Private rolls his eyes]

Dave: Hmm, you are super cute. We'd better crank this up. Drew, Barry, more power.

[After everyone thought Private was killed]

Skipper: [Gets a hold of one of Private's floating feathers] Private…

Kowalski: Oh, no.

Dave: I disintegrated him. That wasn't supposed to happen.

Kowalski: You maniac! You blew him up! [Rico whimpers]

Skipper: No...

[Private has saved the North Wind from Dave’s henchmen sending them to their doom]

Corporal: Supper. Well, done, Private!

Eva: Good work, malinka.

Classified: Yes. Yes. Excellent button-pushing. Complement, praise, etcetera. All right agents, we are back in business. [Private is delighted, yet the North Wind runs in the opposite direction]

Private: Wait! Skipper, Kowalski, Rico... all those penguins... they're this way!

Classified: So is a massive army of octopi. And as soon as we return to the North Wind Headquarters, grab fresh equipment and work up a smashing new plan we'll come speeding back, and take down Dave.

Private: But the penguins are in danger! We have to go now!

Classified: Again, "huge army of octopi."

Private: So because you failed once, you're just running away?

Classified: We did not fail, and we are not running away. We're just, very sensibly regrouping.

Private: Skipper wouldn't care! Plan or no, fancy equipment or no. He'd never leave a man behind.

Classified: Well I suppose we can't all be penguins can we? [North Wind turns to leave]

Private: ... No. [North Wind look back] But maybe you should be. [Private goes on his own]

New York Reporter: [in the harbors of New York City along with a crowd] Breaking news, the penguins have been found! Okay, according to my notes, genetic researcher, Dr. Octavius Brine, has found the penguins and is bringing them here to New York's Battery Park. The penguins are coming back! Oh my gosh, look!

Dave: [rising from his sub out of the water] Penguin lovers of the world! Guess who I found. It wasn't easy, but seeing these penguins get what they derserve will make it worthwhile.

New York Reporter: What a weird thing to say. I'm so excited!

Dave: Yay! Your newly improved penguins!

[The doors to the sub open letting out green smoke, showing the captured penguins including Skipper, Kowalski and Rico having successfully been mutated by the Medusa Serum, now not so cute looking with scary appearances. The humans gasp in horror]

[In a truck, Private finds a mutated Skipper, with a crab arm and swallowing a cat whole]

Private: Skipper! Wait! Hold on! What are you doing?! Skipper! Don't eat that! Skipper, listen. It's me, Private. I've got a plan, but I need your help. I need my Skipper.

Skipper: [Sees flashbacks of Private from the past] Private?

Private: Yes. That's it.

Skipper: Private, you're alive!

Skipper: You stole Dave's ray?

Private: Yes, well, I figured if we could reverse the ray, we can turn everyone back to normal.

Skipper: Reverse the ray?

Kowalski: That’s brilliant, but... it's impossible! In order to reverse the ray, we would need to replace the Medusa Serum with a power source of almost immeasurable cuteness!

Skipper: Immeasurable cuteness? Where the heck are we supposed to get that? Wait. Private, no! We don’t know what that’ll do to you! No!

[With the ray, Private accidentally turned a random penguin back to normal]

Kowalski: The ray! It works! It WORKS!

Skipper: Private, are you okay?

Private: Yes!

[Skipper, Rico and Kowalski gasp in surprise and notice that Private has sprouted a hand out of his butt]

Kowalski: Whoa-oh! Butt-hand! There's a hand attached to his butt. That was not... that was not there before.

Skipper: Get out of there. That's an order!

Private: [salutes] Permission to defy order.

Skipper: Permission denied!

Private: Then I deny your denial.

Skipper: It's too risky, Private! It already made you sprout a butt-hand!

Private: I know it has to be me this time. [places his butt-hand on the glass] And I think you know it, too. [Concerned about Private's sacrifice, Skipper places his flipper on the same place where Private placed his butt-hand. They exchange smiles before Private reattaches himself to the ray using his butt-hand] I'm the secret weapon!

Dave: Now...that I finally have my revenge, I feel... empty. As if, what I needed all along was... MORE REVENGE! In fact, Robin, write this down.

[One of his minions writes]

Dave: Tomorrow, we move on: kittens, then puppies, bunnies, pandas...

[Dave gasps as he sees the penguins using his ray]

Dave: Charlize, they're on the ray!

[Dave runs off, ripping off his human disguise back to his octopus appearance]

Dave: Helen, hunt them down! William, hurt them! Halle, bury them! Hugh, Jack, man the battle stations! Kevin, bake on! We're still gonna need that victory cake!

Private: [after the sides effects from the ray, he is tinted pink and has grown antlers] So, how do I look?

Kowalski: You're hideously disfigured and will probably be hunted for sport.

Private: [concerned] Wh-Wha...?

[Skipper elbows Kowalski]

Kowalski: What?

Skipper: If there's anything we've learned from this delightful adventure, Kowalski, it's that looks don’t matter. It’s what you do that counts. And look at what you did. [The penguins from different countries look at the penguins, baby penguins pop out from behind parent penguins] Yes, sir. You are the most meaningful and valued member of this team. [as saluting Private, he salutes back. Kowalski and Rico salute as well. Skipper does his brother's salute by crossing his eyes and sticking out his tongue. Private does the same and laughs. All the penguins and the North Wind cheer for Private.]

Classified: [clear his throat] Right now, this is difficult for me to say, but...

Skipper: Is it "osteoporosis"? You just gotta lean into the vowels. Ahhh-stee-ohhhh-pahhh...

Classified: No, no, I want to say... You four are the bravest agents I’ve ever known. The point is... I was wrong about you, and I hope there’s some way I can make it right.

Kowalski: [to Classified] Give us jetpacks.

Eva: [at the same time; to Kowalski] We could kiss.

Kowalski: [notices Eva] Whoa! Uh... [clears his throat] Did you just say...?

[Eva dips Kowalski, kissing him, while using her other wing to block the camera, much to the disgust of his comrades. As soon as Eva lowers her wings, Kowalski has lipstick marks all over his face]

Kowalski: Well, that feels right!

Private: I think I'd actually prefer a jetpack, please.

Skipper: I think we should go with Private's idea.

[The penguins are flying above Liberty Island in New York with the North Wind's jetpacks]

Kowalski: Yeah!

Skipper: Kowalski! What's our trajectory?

Kowalski: 95% certain this will end in massive, flaming disaster!

Skipper: And the other five percent?

Kowalski: Irrelevant, sir! Jet packs are awesome!

Skipper: Agreed!

Private: Who says penguins can't fly?

Skipper: Yee-haw! Boo-yah!
