MARTY: Listen up, soldiers!
You've trained. You've prepared.

You've put your hopes
and hearts into glory.

And today is the day we've
all been waiting for,

Water Balloon Battle Day.
Melman! Oh! Hey, Lala.

You sure you're up for this?
You're a little tadpole!

- Correction, she's a full-grown froglet!
- Yeah! See!

She'll be totally fine.

Okay, if you say so.

Now, Lala, since this
is your first battle,

you should know that
we take this seriously.

We fight with honor, we...

Ugh!

[ Ant'ney laughs ]

[ Chatters ]

Oops? Ow!

[ laughs ]

Water balloon fight!

[ laugh ]

Yah!

LALA: Wee!

Lala! No!

Yay!

[ Panting ]

[ Everybody cheers ]

Nice moves, Gloria!

ANT'NEY: I've never
seen anything like it!

- Strong and graceful!
- Lala, are you okay?

Don't worry about me, I
know how to get around!

Lala, you don't have to
pretend that it's okay.

I messed up and I'll never let
anything like that happen to you again.

MARTY: Then you better duck!

[ Marty laughs ]

Ugh!

Nice shot, Pickles!

when suddenly we

And then, we rode
them up! And then

Down?

Nope! Then we went to
the bathroom, flush.

- MELMAN: Don't forget to wash!
- Wash, wash, wash.

And then, we headed to Coney Island!
Where we had a run-in with a goose!

I said a goose!

- Huh...
- Ant'ney, Ant'ney, it's your cue.

Huh! 'Tis I! The
goose! And, and...

Ah, oh, no. I forgot my lines.

- "Honk, honk."
- Honk! What was that second part again?

You know what, let's just
wrap up the show there.

And that was the story of
our big day in the city!

[ Everybody applauds ]

Oh, I just love hearing about
your big city adventures!

If you love hearing about it, just
wait 'til you see it for yourself.

- Uh! I'd love to!
- Could I go into the city with you?

- Of course!
- Let's do it!

Yeah!

- I don't think that's such a good idea.
- But why?

Uh, Lala, will you
excuse us for a moment?

Guys, I'm a little concerned
a tiny water animal like Lala

won't be able to keep up with
us on a big city adventure.

- Are you sure?
- She seems to get around just fine.

Remember what happened during
the water balloon fight?

She can't play the same way we
can. As her only water friend,

I have to make sure we
keep her out of danger!

- But, Gloria.
- C'mon!

- Hey, g*ng! What're we whisperin' about?
- Yeah! What're we whispering about?

- Lala! How'd you get here?
- I always find a way to get around!

[ Grunts ]

So, what's the plan? Do I get to
go on a big city adventure or what?

[ Sighs ]

- Okay.
- Yay, my dream!

- As long as we're extra careful.
- Still my dream!

Lala, just wait'll you see how
many trucks there are in the city!

Wait'll see you how many of
everything there is in the city.

Tomorrow morning, first
thing, to the tunnels we go!

Uh! Oh, I can't
wait till tomorrow!

[ Chuckles ]

Yeah, me neither.

[ Chattering ]

- Rise and shine!
- Finally, tomorrow is here!

Just wait, Lala, you're
gonna see the whole city!

Maybe not the whole city.

What? That's a lot of city.

[ Dave chatters ]

What's going on over here?

- The tunnel door won't open.
- It got jammed somehow!

[ Chatters ]

But what about our adventure?

I wanted to show Lala how to a
ride on a real live firetruck!

Aw-ha, shucks! Guess we'll have a
death-defying adventure in the city

some other time.

- Hang on.
- Let's take a closer look at the door.

- Maybe we can fix it.
- It's worth a try.

Yeah, as much as I love acting
out our city adventures for Lala,

the whole bit's
getting kinda stale.

Sometimes, big problems
have simple solutions.

Okay, if you say so.

There wasn't nearly enough

Wow, I can't believe I'm
at my first baseball game!

- Go, team!
- What was that, Lala?

- I said "go, team"!
- Oh, yes, that's what I thought.

- Gloria, it's the T-shirt cannon lady!
- Your favorite part!

- Uh!
- Ooh!

Man! That T-shirt lady
does not mess around.

Yeah! Did you see how close it came
to knocking Lala out of her bottle?

Really? I didn't think it was...

Uh! Dangerous.

Uh! What's going on?
Can someone describe it?

C'mon, Gloria.

Don't you think you're being a
little too cautious with Lala?

to take care of herself.

- Yeah, Gloria. It's a baseball game.
- What could go wrong?

Please?

- Uh! Fine.
- Woohoo!

Here's a better view for
you, Lala. But be careful!

Lala!

That was epic!

GLORIA: Lala!

I can't believe you made
it on the big screen!

You're famous, Lala!

And I didn't know you
could play the organ!

I'm a little concerned we violated
ballpark food handling rules.

Other than that, it was awesome!

- I don't think you all understand!
- That wasn't fun! It was scary!

It wasn't scary for me!

I told you, Gloria, I'm
good at getting around.

You were really lucky, Lala.

No, I'm really capable.

Lala, it's your first
day out in the big world.

I know you think you
can handle a wild ride.

But you're a tiny water animal.

I promised I wouldn't let you get
hurt, and I'm standing by my promise!

- I guess it was a little wild.
- But I think I can

We've had enough fun for one day.
Time to head back to the habitat.

Ugh! We were just
getting started.

- I'm sorry.
- But it's what's best for Lala.

[ sighs ]

If you say so.

C'mon, guys!

The closest tunnel entrance
is over here, near the river.

- The entrance is blocked!
- I wonder what's going on.

Let's find out.

A team of divers has arrived
here, at the Hudson River,

where a shark appears
to be stuck in a net.

A rescue mission is underway,

and New Yorkers are
hoping these expert divers

are the heroes this shark
needs to help set him free.

- Ooh! A live rescue.
- Looks like it'll take a while.

MARTY: Hmm...

Uh! The poor shark!

Let's head to the river
to get a closer look.

Gloria!

- He needs help, and fast!
- Good thing the divers are on their way.

At that rate, they'll
get there next year.

- Is there's anything we could do to help?
- I can help!

- What was that, Lala?
- I was saying, I can help!

- Aw, that's very sweet of you, Lala.
- But don't worry, we've already got a plan.

all get scared sometimes.
