- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

But you can't.
Bye, buddy.

Call me when you find the disco.

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.

You're just a noisy little girl.

I'm nigel thornberry, and I assure you
This chimpanzee's medical record is flawless.
Have a look-see.

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!

It was a crazy-looking dingo.

How are you?

How are the bots bitin'?
- Uh, great.

I mean, how's the trip so far?
- Oh, it's really-- whoa!
Wavy.

You look weaker than a sunburned snowflake.
Maybe you should go rest till you get your sea legs.

Sailing is totally my life.

I only make it for special girls.

You remind me of my kid sister.

So what are you making?

It's got squid and octopus and eel--

- 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--

Here.
In case you want a midnight snack.
Bye.
- Perfect.
Thanks.

This food's not right.
I don't feel so good.

- 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.

How's it going?

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

Come on.
Ooh.

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.

- 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.

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