[Yawns] well...

Guess that's enough of the
monkey business for one day.

Good night.

[Snoring]
oh, goody!

Someone's finally here
to buy me.

Your imprisonment is over.

The people's animal freedom
front is here to free you.

I've heard of a free lunch,
but a free gorilla?

Animal brothers,
taste freedom!

Run!

Ooh.

Mr. Peebles isn't gonna like
this.

You can't worry about what
the authorities think, man.

[Siren]
the cops!

Let's split!

Split, as in banana split?!

Punch it!

Aw!

Avenger, you have to see this.

Aren't animals cute?!

[Growls]
have a fuzzy...

Wuzzy day...

Just becuzzy.

Ha ha ha.

Too much!

Ow!

Nice release!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

You gotta play him in.

That's right.

There you are, little fellow.

Back you go.

What are you doing?!

Getting ready for the
employee retreat.

Employee retreat?

Uh...

Hmm.

I don't seem to have that on
here.

Of course you don't.

It's just me and the hippo.

His morale's been low.

Mopey, mopey hippo.

I'm an employee,
aren't i?

Yeah, but we're going in
the two-seater, no room.

[Honk, honk]
uncle peter!

Stewie, fooey, and spewie!

And we're taking the hippo's
nephews.

Teach them to have a healthy
relationship with nature.

What's this?

What's this?

What's this?

Rod, reel, shotgun.

You're going fishing with a
shotgun?

And dynamite.

Dynamite?!

You ever startle a mamma bass
with her cubs?

I don't think so.

Fish are vicious.

Plus, I hate touching worms.

All right, let's head out!

I can't believe he's not
taking me.

Yeah, well, you have a client
anyway.

I do?

[Sobbing]
all these years, I wanted him

Gone, and now I miss him so
much!

Miss who?

Ma--ma...

Magilla!

Magilla?

Magilla's my gorilla.

I own a pet store, you see,
and...

They stole him!

[Sobs]
ape-napping.

Heard of this.

Montel.

There, there, little guy.

It's...

It's all gonna be ok.

What's this?

It came in the mail this
morning.

Hmm.

Probably from the ape-nappers.

Demand for ransom.

By ordering this video,
you've taken the first step.

Now let's see if tribonin is
right for you.

Erections lasting more than
a week should be documented--

I got two in the mail
the same day--

Totally unsolicited.

Try this one.

This is a communique from the
people's animal freedom front.

Whoddy doody, doody, fellows.

We hold you accountable for
your unlawful imprisonment of

Animals, and charge you--
sorry.

No charge!

Cash only.

Shut up!

Yes, sir, mr. Anarchist.

We'll see you in court!

Animal freedom now!

[Woman moaning]
what do we do, mr. Birdman?

Huh?

Oh!

I'll take the case!

Ah, nature.

Relaxing, isn't it?

Huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right.

So...

I'd like us to take this
opportunity for me to get to

Know me better.

Pull out a pickaxe and dig down
into the old phil ken sebben

Trust tunnel.

[Groaning]
you see, a professional

Relationship is built on trust--
being there for the other guy

When he needs it most.

Knowing when to reach out and
say, "here, employee,

Let me help you with that."

Mr. Phil, mr. Phil!

Uncle pete is--
shh.

You'll scare them away.

Hey, a sunfish!

Hmm.

Avenger, what are you
doing out here--

Is that my executive ball
clicker?

Caw-caw!

And my desk?!

All right, you can keep those,
but I'm gonna need to borrow

That stapler for a minute.

Stop it!

No, no!

[Yelling]
boo!

Monster!

It's ok!

He's my eagle!

You don't own him!

Yeah, you don't own him!

Oof!

Aat--tab--aab--
pubb pubb ta daap!

What are you doing, child?

Some exotic creature could
come along, try to eat that,

Choke on it, and die.

Remember, leave no trace behind.

[Gasping]
no beer for you.

That's man juice.

Now, who wants to pump my

We'll find your gorilla,
mr. Peebles.

If we could just get anything--
a clue of some sort from this

Footage.

A place name.

Something to give us a hint.

324 Marigold lane?

Oh, well.

Can't say I didn't try.

Let's see what's on cable.

Outside the law offices of
sebben and sebben where

Apparently an employee of the
firm demolished the nest

Belonging to a large bird of
prey dubbed by onlookers

As legal eagle.

Oh, my god!

A man--no, a woman has just
pulled a g*n from her bag,

And she's threatening to--
well, surely these people

Will want to hear my side of the
story--

[Grunts]
magilla, now's your chance.

Speak your mind, my friend.

Hee hee!

Don't mind if I do.

[Groans]
boo!

Thankee.

I always thought I had star
appeal.

Thanks, fellas.

I really ape-preciate it!

Ladies and gentlemen
of the jury, my client,

Melvin peebles--
badass...

A small pet shop owner
was victimized...

By a group of ecological
do-gooders.

A group who, while thinking they
had the animal's best interests

In mind, may have actually done
him more harm by separating him

From his caregiver.

Your honor, I'd like to call
gene winkleman to the stand.

Mr. Winkleman--
harvest is fine.

Right.

Yeah.

So, harvest...

Please tell the court what led
you to break--

Ow!

Oof!

Into my client's pet store and
rob him of his livelihood?

We believe that quote animals
end quote are not ours to use

For quote entertainment end
quote.

They deserve consideration
whether or not they're quote

Cute unquote, or quote useful to
humans end quote.

Thank you.

So, where is magilla,
the ape you wantonly stole from

Peebles' pet shop?

You say stole, we say freed!

Can you give us his exact
whereabouts?

Uh, excuse me!

His whereabouts is the planet
earth, man.

I mean, we are all in his
whereabouts.

Yeah!

Right on!

You have no idea where he is,
do you?

No.

Yeah!

Right on!

The rabbit comes out of the
hole, goes around the tree,

Sees a lady rabbit,
and invites her back to the

Warren, but then remembers that
he's married, so he takes a

Detour to that little motel out
off the interstate.

What else can you teach us,
mr. Phil?

Oh, I don't know.

How 'bout first aid?

Yay!

Yay!

All right.

Lesson number one:
choking.

Ok, which of you can pretend to
be choking for me?

Has to be realistic now.

Mr. Pebbles.

Uh, it's peebles.

Control your temper, sir!

What are you going to do now,
lock me up in a cage,

Deny me food,
attach electrodes to my

Genitals?

But I never--
a modicum of restraint,

I beg you.

A modicum is a very small
amount.

Look...

This is all a misunderstanding.

I love magilla.

Love?

Love?!

You have a very strange
definition of love.

Poochie, slide show.

But...

Magilla likes--
oh, I'm sure that's what you

Tell yourself to keep warm in
the deep of the night, sir.

I have nothing further for this
witness.

Uh...

No, nothing.

Things look bad, mr. Birdman.

Real bad.

Maybe, if all you care about
is winning.

He's back!

Yay!

He's back!

If I could just find magilla,
he'd tell 'em the truth!

[Coos]
I would like to call

Magilla gorilla to the stand.

Magilla gorilla!

Ok...

That didn't work.

Your honor, in lieu of that,
I'd like to present a

Thoughtful, articulate, and
touching rendition of "tubular

Bells" on these wine glasses.

Hee hee!

I bet you guys would like to be
home more and not home less.

Hey, is that soda pop?

Caw!

Thanks, mr. Birdie.

If you were an ape,
you'd be the gorilla my dreams.

[Playing song]
[screams]

Magilla gorilla!

Magilla!

Mr. Peebles!

Aw!

Sssssssss.

Oh, mr. Peebles,
I want to go back home.

Home to my nice warm cage.

Animal freedom now!

Yeah!

Right on!

Well, everybody,
another day, another--

Oh, phil, nice to see you.

Have fun on the, ahem,
employee outing?

[Grunting]
save...

Me.

Aw!

Aw!

Somebody give that eagle a
drink.

He's perched.

[Laughter]
sorry.

Guess I deserved that
pun-ishment.

[Laughter]
