Post by bunniefuu »

this is me Eliza Thornberry part of your

average family I got a dad a mom and a

sister who marries Donnie we found him

and Darwin we found us

oh yeah about our house it moves cause

we travel all over the world

you see my dad hosts his nature show and

my mom sh**t it okay so we're not that

average

something amazing happened

[Music]

and now I can talk to animals it's

really cool but totally Secret and you

know what life's never been the same

[Music]

oh

[Music]

[Music]

imagine I'm getting some great footage

Splendid Elijah's getting some rather

amazing footage too oh man this is so

dangerous I can't believe mom's doing

this

Marianne I've been working on the

narration what do you think of this

we are here observing the yellow bill

chuffs in their nest these chuffs are

known for their acrobatic feats

dear as I suspected you think I should

start with the feeding habits

[Music]

[Music]

oh well that's your mother for you never

flinching in the face of danger Marianne

come down this instant my knees are

turning to jelly

ah this is certainly starting out to be

a thrilling Mother's Day

[Music]

what are we going to do we can't just

give Mom a card for Mother's Day oh why

didn't you tell me this holiday was

coming up me don't you ever look at a

calendar hey half the time I don't know

what country we're in let alone what day

it is at long last a post office I do

hope the abundance of gifts will make up

for their tardiness Nigel your mother

would be happy with a simple card that's

what I got my mom so let me make sure

I'm hearing correctly Sophie insists she

requires nothing more than a card and

you believe her yes

[Music]

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself

why don't you mail the packages and I'll

wait out here it is my special day after

all

[Music]

mom can Debbie and I check out the

market real quick okay but your father

wants to get on the road in 15 minutes

no problem mom

I think I know what they're up to Donnie

[Music]

[Applause]

um

I'll take them all yum we just love

apricots

[Music]

we have to find something great for Mom

something she'll really like and not a

mother-daughter membership to the

desperate fan club like you got her last

year

hey I was just trying to broaden Mom's

musical Horizons what about your gift

who wants a box of dust for Mother's Day

that wasn't dust it was a collection of

star fruit leaves before turn to dust I

mean whatever you have no idea what Mom

wants for Mother's Day and you do I've

known mom way longer than you right

older but definitely not wiser I can

come up with a much better gift than you

excuse me are you challenging me to shop

yep challenge accepted have fun

collecting twigs

come on Darwin you gotta help me find

Mama Mother's Day gift in 10 minutes

Mother's Day what's that it's the day I

show my mom how much she means to me how

much I appreciate all the things she

does for me by getting her a better gift

than Debbie

[Music]

they're beautiful they come from the

mountains I make you good dear 13 000

rupees

I don't have that much I'll take them

Demi

damn how much that goat costs

sorry

[Music]

there's got to be something that I can

make for Mom with this

I know I'll paint mom a picture when's

Darwin's day because I have a long list

of things I'd like

[Music]

oh Nigel this was a perfect idea thank

you dearest but didn't you think of it

yes that's what I meant

sometimes I sure know how to come up

with them

girls there you are I've got a surprise

for you but I thought it would be fun

for us all to go for a bike ride

together through the hunza valley sorry

Mom I gotta take a rain check on that

bike track yeah sorry Mom

yep I sure know how to come up with them

oh they'll change their minds when they

see the spectacular

Highway come along darling

[Music]

in observance of Mother's Day you are

hereby prohibited from driving duties

think of me as your chauffeur

what is this thing about Bob do exactly

distress mode Nigel I don't mind driving

really nonsense no one likes to drive on

Mother's day

except of course fathers now buckle up

and enjoy the view

thank you

yeah

[Music]

[Music]

problem

like I care what she's making

why moms you're going to love this all

right a picture of something she sees

all the time snore

perfect mom doesn't wear stuff like that

she'll love it

and if she doesn't I'll keep it for

myself I saw Debbie's gift for Mom mine

is so much better if we had Darwin's day

no one needs to worry about better gifts

create

heat but I do they are headed we're

looking for the waterfall do you think

I just love the sun it mix as it

splashes down and those rocks in the

water short are pretty so we're going in

the right direction sure a Funny Story

one time I was at the waterfall and this

wild God was splashing and his

girlfriend says to him hey you're

getting my fat old vet so I say to the

God we're kind of in a hurry Are we

almost there yeah but you can get there

quicker if you go off the road around

the next Bend across that big bridge and

you're there hey let me tell you about

the time this link started to chase a

yak across the bridge thanks gotta run

hmm sometimes I think it would be better

if animals couldn't talk

foreign

where's Little Miss science going I

wonder

for the lovely Mumsy of my wonderful

children

happy Mother's Day dearest oh Nigel how

sweet

see a Thornberry family album of Firsts

by Nigel Thornberry

of the Thornberry Milestones oh look oh

Debbie's first tooth Eliza's First Step

Donny's first comb

off Eliza's bike

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

gonna leave me here without a bike are

you why not it's all downhill but I'm

going uphill what for just just you know

check out the scenery you mean the

waterfall how did you know never mind

hey I thought the waterfall was this way

I know a shortcut well I've got the bike

[Music]

oh this is too hard we've got to lose

the monkey

Debbie there it is keep going

[Music]

[Music]

I better get equal credit for this

present

it's just a little wind there's no such

thing as a little

hello

hang on

[Music]

grab my hand

[Music]

you think I'm gonna let that happen

[Music]

Debbie you are amazing yeah thank me

later let's just get off of this thing

hey I did come get this far to go back

without a Mother's Day gift

come on darf we're going on on Darwin's

day there will be no Crossing of bridges

oh and there's Eliza's first boo-boo

look Debbie's first taste of kippers

who makes that face I'm gonna ask but

certainly not least your first Mother's

Day goodness I do believe that was

Sophie's first grandmother's day as well

that was also the first time mom told me

about Mother's intuition I never really

believed in it

but now I'm beginning to think there's

something to it the girls have been gone

a long time and something doesn't feel

right I'm gonna go look for them you

stay here in case they come back

excellent plan Donnie and I will man the

fort

[Music]

we can't climb that yes we can come on

remember what mom taught us feel around

for the Crags and get a good foothold

see it's all in the fingers

oh no girls Eliza Debbie

laughs

and lecture mail order

[Music]

wait till Mom sees this I guess working

together paid off we do make a good team

but I think we need to move up a little

bit no I think we need to move over this

way

I believe we should let me get the gems

because I'm taller but I'm sure we both

agreed it I'm the better climber so I

should get them

[Music]

forget the red green goes with her eyes

[Music]

[Music]

girl

girls are you

[Music]

check out mom in action

well she can do anything oh

let's go you first Eliza yeah you first

come get me when they fix the bridge

I know you can do it honey

oh no

it doesn't matter keep going

oh

what were you girls doing up here

looking for gems to give you for

Mother's Day gems up here oh do you have

any idea how dangerous that is I just

wanted to get you something nice but

Eliza kept trying to top me me who

challenged who to shop you did okay but

you accepted it I don't need anything

special for Mother's Day I just wanted

to spend the day with my girls

sauce on this pasta apricot and there's

plenty more where that came from well

your mother told me all about your day

you two were quite adventurous
