[bunniefuu]

- This is me, eliza thornberry,

Part of your average family.

I got a dad, a mom, and a sister.

There is donnie-- we found him.

And darwin--he found us.

- [Jabbering]

- Oh, yeah, about our house--

It moves, 'cause we travel all over the world.

You see, my dad hosts this nature show,

And my mom sh**t it.

Okay, so we're not that average.

And between you and me, something amazing happened...

And now I can talk to animals.

It's really cool but totally secret.

And you know what?

Life's never been the same.

[Laughter]

I know you're in one of these burrows.

- Am not!

[Laughter]

- Gotcha, emily!

[Laughter]

- Let's do it again, please, please, please!

Again, again, again, again, again, again!

- Okay.

I know where you are, and here I come.

[Laughs]

- Oh, my goodness. Look at that.

- What could possibly be more thrilling

Than a sea voyage to india

Precisely timed to film the migration of that titan

Of living creatures, the majestic blue whale?

I want to plot their course.

- [Chattering]

- We should spot them right there.

Oh, brilliant, donnie.

- [Snoring]

- [Grunts]

These are not normal challenges.

- Remember, debbie, the comvee's going to be stowed below,

So just pack the bare essentials.

- Got it.

[Zipper zips]

A teenager has many bare essentials.

[Grunting]

- Mom, dad, can I take emily with us?

- Eliza, you know that's not possible.

- Why not?

- [Chattering]

- [Babbling]

- Dear, a wombat can't leave her natural habitat.

Once on the ship, then in india,

You could never find the vegetation

This consummate herbivore requires to survive.

- I guess you're right.

- I'm sorry, sweetheart.

- I know saying farewell to a friend isn't easy, pumpkin,

But we'll be spotting some smashing blue whales

From the ship.

Won't that be exciting?

- Sure, dad.

That'll be real exciting.

- [Grunting]

[Squeals]

Do you mind getting that thing out of here?

- She's not a thing. She's an emily.

I'm really gonna miss brushing your fur, emily.

- When is it my turn?

- She's brushing mine now, you big monkey.

- Eliza, you've got to pack!

It's almost time to go.

- Well, I guess this is it, emily.

I'm gonna miss you.

- Can I come too? Can i? Huh? Huh?

Please, please, please?

- No, no, no, no, no.

[Yelps]

- I absolutely wish there was some way you could,

But you can't.

Bye, buddy.

- Bye, eliza.

Smooch!

[Bell ringing]

- [Sniffs]

Ah!

Inhale the briny fragrance!

Feel the ocean breeze!

Oh, heavens, I'm positively giddy.

[Laughs]

What say we scout the perfect whale-watching spot?

[Mumbling]

- [Sighs]

Call me when you find the disco.

- This is going to be pretty cool.

- Yes, just like old times.

No more wombat.

Just you and me, side by side, oh--

- Hey!

- I am inspector tabu.

This monkey belongs in a cage in the baggage hold.

- He does not!

- The he'll be quarantined in madras.

- Quarantined?

You can't do that.

- I can, and I will,

Along with any animal I find

Who hasn't had the proper vaccinations.

- He's had all of his sh*ts.

Now let him go.

- What do you know?

You're just a noisy little girl.

- Pardon me, good fellow.

I'm nigel thornberry, and I assure you

This chimpanzee's medical record is flawless.

Have a look-see.

- [Groans]

Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Excuse me, young mariner,

But we'd like to find our quarters.

- G'day, all. My name's mel.

I whip up the grub on this fair clunker.

Why, you're nigel thornberry.

Your bunks are down the hall, near the galley.

Oh, and I should let you know

The cabins ain't what you'd call roomy.

- Oh, mel, I'm sure it'll be just perfect.

Ugh! I'm so definitely out of here.

And, um, I'm suddenly hungry.

Where is the gallery, anyway?

- It's the "galley."

- Ugh, details.

- I got dibs on this one.

- Surprise! - Emily!

What are you doing here?

- You said you absolutely wished

There was some way I could come with you, remember?

Aren't you happy to see me?

- Yes! No!

- What she said, without the "yes."

[Mechanical whirring, alarm blaring]

- Oh!

We've got to get you off of this ship before it leaves!

Come on!

Hurry, hurry! This way!

[Gasps]

[Bell ringing]

We're too late.

[Ship horn honking]

[Ship horn honking]

- Oh, great.

Now we're stuck with her.

- So I can stay? Huh? Huh?

- We don't have a choice, and I am happy to see you.

Keep your head down, and let's go.

- Eliza, get in the picture.

It'll be a great sh*t.

- Yes, dear, come join us, and hurry.

The whales could be here at any moment.

- Uh, maybe later.

Got to go.

- Say chee-- [sputtering]

- Ahh!

- [Hooting]

- [Gasps]

Wow! A big blue whale!

- Really?

Marianne, start filming.

- [Moans]

- [Barking]

- Did you just hear a bark?

- Yeah.

It was a crazy-looking dingo.

He went, uh, that way!

- A dingo?

- He fell for it!

- I'm hungry.

- Okay. What do you want?

- You know, shrubs and roots and stuff.

- They got to have something in the galley.

- Which way? Let's go! Let's go!

- Good-bye. Good-bye. Have fun.

- No, dar. You have to stay with emily.

- Me?

I draw the line at babysitting donnie.

- I need you to take her back to the cabin.

- Ugh.

- And don't let anyone see her.

- [Whistling]

- Hi, mel.

Thought I'd just say hello.

How are you?

How's it going?

- Yo, debbie.

How are the bots bitin'?

- Uh, great.

- [Laughs]

I mean, how's the trip so far?

- Oh, it's really-- whoa!

Wavy.

- Whoa.

You look weaker than a sunburned snowflake.

Maybe you should go rest till you get your sea legs.

- Oh, no, mel.

Sailing is totally my life.

[Retching]

[Gagging]

- My special tea will do the trick.

I only make it for special girls.

- Really, mel?

Oh, you think I'm special?

- Sure.

You remind me of my kid sister.

- Oh.

So what are you making?

- That's my famous fish stew.

It's got squid and octopus and eel--

- [Retching]

- Oh, hi, guys.

Never thought I'd bump into you.

Whoa, deb, you look kind of green.

- Thank you and good-bye.

- And, uh, speaking of green, did I tell you both

That I have decided to become a vegetarian?

Hmm, yeah, so, you know, mel,

I was just wondering if you had any, you know,

Typical lunch-type grasses, roots, shrubs?

I just can't stop eating vegetables.

Yum, yum, I could eat them all night, all day, all--

- [Growls]

Here.

In case you want a midnight snack.

Bye.

- Perfect.

Thanks.

- [Belches]

This food's not right.

I don't feel so good.

- You don't look so good.

- I want a burrow.

- [Yawns]

- Here, why don't you try and take a nap?

- Good idea. I'm pooped.

- Are you nice and cozy?

- It's too small.

I need to dig deeper.

- But you've got to get some sleep.

- If I could just have something a little bigger, please, please?

- Sure, emily, a bigger burrow for a wombat on a cargo ship--

No problem.

- [Moaning]

- Hi, deb.

How's it going?

- Like I'm not supposed to notice

My dweeb-a-zoid sister wheeling a laundry cart.

- You know how I love clean clothes.

- [Chirping softly]

- Ohh!

- It smells funny in here.

I miss my dirt.

- Where am I supposed to get dirt?

Oh, gee, emily, what's next?

- Oh...

[Muttering]

- Hey!

I need to chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew.

- But you can't chew this.

- But I've got to bite on something.

[Chomping]

- Okay, there's got to be good stuff on deck.

Come on.

Ooh.

- [Chomping]

- Have you chewed enough?

- [Sneezes]

- Come on.

We've got to get you warm.

[Thunder crashes]

- [Sneezes]

- Look at you.

You look awful, and your teeth just keep growing.

- [Lisping] you can say that again.

- Poor little furry thing.

- Now you're really sick.

I've got no choice, dar.

I've got to tell mom and dad.

Mom, dad, I've got to tell you something important.

- What is it, eliza?

- Okay, here goes. I--

[Footsteps approaching]

- I haven't found that dingo yet,

But I'm after another creature on board,

One who likes to chew.

And when I find it, it's going straight to quarantine.

- As well it should.

And if I happen upon it, sir, whatever it may be,

I'll alert you immediately.

- What'd you want to tell us, eliza?

- I, uh, love you both.

You know, you can never really hear it enough.

Got to go.

[Toilet flushing]

- Some families fly to luxury resorts

On nice big jets, but no.

[Moaning]

- Huh?

- [Sneezes]

- [Screams]

- [Shrieks]

- I can't believe my life!

Argh!

- Oh.

- Oh, you are in trouble big-time!

- You know how one of the coolest things

Between really cool sisters

Is how they keep really cool secrets?

- Yeah, here's one.

You're dead meat!

I'm telling mom and dad

About that revolting fur ball right now!

[Moaning]

- Yo, debbie.

It's me, mel.

- Hi, mel.

- G'day, all.

Came to bring you a final cup of tea, debbie,

And see how you were feeling.

We'll be in port soon.

- Maybe we can hang out.

- Oh, not for long.

We're turning straight back home to sunny australia.

Can't wait to see the family and me animals.

- Wow!

Oh, I love animals too.

- Well, catch you all later to say, "so long."

- Okay, mel.

[Moaning]

- Listen, deb.

I've got an idea that would really help me

And have mel think you're totally awesome.

- Yeah?

- Emily's really sick

And needs to get back to australia.

Now, you could ask mel to bring her home on the ship.

- And why would I want to do that?

- So he'd think you were the b*mb

For being such an animal lover.

- [Sneezes]

- Hewouldthink I was pretty amazing.

Oh, I don't have to touch it, do i?

Okay. I'll do it.

- Yes!

- But remember, it was my idea.

[Groaning]

- Well, you can't say we didn't give it

The old schoolboy try.

[Laughs]

- Ah-ah!

[Chattering]

- What is it, donnie?

- Ahh...

[Chattering]

- Oh, look, poodles.

Donnie knows we're disappointed,

And he's trying to be our own little moby-d*ck.

- Emily, you know I only want to do

What's best for you, right?

- Sure.

It's not your fault I got sick.

- But you are, and that's why

You've got to go back home to get better,

And there's a really nice sailor

Who'll make sure that you're okay.

- But I want to be with you.

- Okay, here's the list of supplies she'll need

For the trip back,

And don't forget pounds of really fresh dirt.

- Only the best for amelia.

- It's emily.

- I knew that.

- Don't worry.

We'll treat the little duffer like a princess.

- Eliza!

Debbie!

- You better get goin'.

So long, debbie.

- Ohh...

- I'll never forget you, emily.

Make sure nobody sees her.

[Gasps]

- Come, girls.

It's time to disembark.

Ooh, ah, india,

A veritable curry-scented paradise.

- [Chattering]

- [Gasps]

- Eliza!

[Giggling]

- Emily!

- You better hurry.

We're turning right back around and shoving off.

- Ah, groovy necklace.

- Debbie!

- I mean, we've got to find her!

♪

- Eliza!

- [Gasps]

- [Chattering]

- [Laughs]

- No! Give her back!

- I knew you were up to something.

This repulsive wombat has had no sh*ts,

And I'm going to see that it's quarantined forever...

If it lasts that long.

- Please!

You--you--you can't do this.

- I can, and I will.

- Wait!

- [Growls]

- Uh-oh.

We're in a right pickle now.

I got to get back.

- Try to stall the ship as long as you can.

Darwin and I are gonna break emily out.

- Good luck.

- Oh, i--i--i'll go with you, mel,

To say good-bye again.

- I'm goin' in. Cover me.

I mean, make sure no one comes after me.

How are you?

Are--are you okay?

- I'm scared.

I'm sorry I did what I did.

I just wanted to be with you.

- Don't worry about that now.

We've got to get you out of here.

- What about us?

[All hooting and chirping]

- Hey, come on, let us out!

Bye, emily!

Thank you.
