02x20 - You Otter Know

[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.

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.

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.

( Seabird calling )

( Squeaks )

Debbie, open up!

You've been in there forever!

Well, this better be good!

Sorry, but I need
my toothbrush.

Besides, you must be clean
by now.

Check out this piece
of sea urchin.

Isn't it cool?

( Huffs )

You take your little shells

And your creepy
creatures

And go play.

Aah!
Aah!

Is she grouchy
in the morning.

What's her excuse for
the rest of the day?

( Chattering )

( Giggling )

You guys look like
big traffic cones.

Thank you, poppet.

I told your mother

That fluorescent orange was
her color.

Well, we're off to film
the steller's sea eagle.

And I can't go because?

There are only two
safety harnesses
in the helicopter.

Ah, yes!

We'll be dangling
high above the clouds

Getting a spectacular

Bird's-eye view.

Marianne:
oh, I'm sure
you'll find

Plenty to do, honey.

Debbie?!
We're leaving!

Are people completely unaware
of the fact

That I'm trying to shower?!

Nigel:
deborah, if you want to
spend your day bathing

You're in luck.

The kamchatka peninsula is
overflowing with hot springs.

Why, you could be
a veritable turnip

In a geothermal soup.

Wait a minute.

Is that, like, nigel-speak
for "I could take a bath

For hours
without anyone bothering me?"

Are you sure you
want to spend...

Your day in russia
sitting in hot water?

See ya!

Do you remember when
we had to pay her
to take a bath?

( Helicopter blades whirring )

Well, eliza,
that whirlibird
is for us.

Have fun, fobby.

You, too. See you later!

Marianne, there's
something you
should know.

I've been given
to understand

Out pilot doesn't
speak much english.

Uh, how much is not much?

Well, none, actually.

( Laughs )

But fear not, pumpkin.

I've been brushing up
on my russian.

Kiev.

Borscht.

Dostoyevsky.

( Chattering )

( Moaning )

Aah!

We didn't hurt
you, did we?

Uh-uh.

( Yawns )

( Tapping )

Darwin, look!

That sea otter is using
a rock to get his food.

( Slurping )

You mean
he's using a tool?

Well, it's not like
he's using a stick

To collect termites
like chimps do.

Eliza:
look at that one!

He made a bed out of kelp.

Oh, you think
that's something?

Watch.

See? A chair.

( Grunts )

( Barking )

Hey, you guys!

( Gasping )

What's going on?!

Don't bother
being so friendly.

Every time one
of you shows up

One of us ends up
with something
stuck in his ear.

Something stuck in your ear?

Yeah, and I hear it hurts, too.

I bet it's a tag
for some science expedition.

Yeah, I hear that after you get
those things in your ears

You get moved
far away from home.

That's usually
just if you're in danger.

I heard about that, too.

Eliza, come on.
They don't want to play.

Oh, yeah?

Hey, can you guys dive?

Can i, flip?

Well...

Okay, I guess.

( Grunts )

Wow!

Ow!

Watch it, otter!

Throw it again!

Throw it again!

Hmm, let's see.

Maybe to, uh... Flip!

I got it! I got it!

Nigel, can you
tell him to go
straight ahead

Towards the ocean?

( Speaking russian )

I don't see
any steller's sea eagles.

An amazing coincidence--
neither do i.

You did tell
the pilot

To head towards
the ocean, right?

Absolutely.

Unless I got the word
for ocean wrong

In which case, we may be headed

Straight into the mouth
of an active volcano.

What?!

But what are
the chances of that?

( Giggling )

Come on, darwin!

No thanks.

Go ahead and play
with your new friends.

( Grunting )

( Screams )

( Chattering )

( Giggling )

Wow, you guys really keep
your fur clean.

You remind me
of my sister debbie.

Debbie!

We have to keep it
clean or we freeze.

I want you to have my
favorite stomach rock.

You're the only
human who ever really
played with us.

Otter:
he's had that
rock forever.

Then I'll keep it forever.

Thanks, flip.

We have to
head home now.

Where do you live?

Over there,
but you can't see it right now.

A ship!

We better get
out of here.
A ship!

What's going on?

It's just a ship.

Ships are bad.

I've heard stories,
all otters have.

First the ship comes

And there's a strange,
awful smell.

Like what?

I don't know,
but it gets worse.

And then the water gets warm

And-and thick,
and you can't swim.

Bobra, you know the stories.

Everything gets dark,
even the sky.

Stay here.

I want to get something
from the commvee.

( Ship horn sounding )

( Crewmen chatting )

Hmm?

( Panting )

It's stuffy in there.

Save you breath,
beiderman.

You're staring at
my latest fortune.

Oh!

Those fishies down there?

What are those, herring?

I love pickled herring.

( Growling )

( Water gurgling )

( Muffled music playing
on walkman)

( Chattering )

( Giggling )

These will help me
get a better look.

It's probably just a cruise ship
on it's way to alaska.

Kip o'donnel
and neil beiderman!

What are they
doing here?

I don't know.
The fog is back.

I wish I could swim
out there and see.

I can.

No, flip.

What about the stories?

I'll be okay.

Won't i?

Just don't get too close
to those guys

And hurry back.

Kip:
hold it steady.

( Beiderman grunting )

Stealing oil from
this tanker is like

Taking candy from
a big, fat baby

Thanks to my brilliant
invention.

Why no one has
ever thought of
it before amazes me.

Again, few people have my brain.

If they did have your brain,
boss

You wouldn't be able to think.

( Laughing )

Here, doggie, doggie!

Pay attention!

Save the whales
on your own time.

( Panting )

They had a gigantic eel
stuck on the ship.

A gigantic eel?

What do you expect
when you send
a sea otter off

To do a chimp's job?

( Grunting )

( Oil gurgling )

What did I tell you?

Ha-ha!

Wait. I'll remember.

Like taking candy from a baby.

( Metal shearing )

( Yelling )

Well, what is it?

I can't see.

Wait a minute.

( Gasps )

Oil spill.

Okay, we've got a problem.

Everyone stay calm.

The oil's coming
right this way!

( Sniffing )

Flip, I smell something.

What is it?

Okay, an oil spill
isn't good.

It's what
you've heard stories about.

I knew it.
Come on! Everyone!

( Talking and clamoring )

Stop!

We're going home;
we'll be safe there.

But you'll be going
right by the oil.

You can't, flip--
it'll get in your fur.

We're going home.

But we'll
be okay

On land, right?

Not if the oil
rushes ashore.

( Grunting )

Darwin, we have to go get them

And put them in the commvee.

( Grunts )

( Grunting )

They're not going
to come with you.

It's their animal instinct.

Sea otters won't listen
like, say, a chimp would.

( Shrieks )

( Rock music playing
through headphones )

Ew. Prune city.

( Turns headphones off )

Hey, who took my...?

Donnie!

Wahoo!

( Blowing nose )

Oh, gross!

That's my shirt.

Donnie, get down here now!

( Jabbering )

That mud cost me
three months' allowance!

Stop, donnie!

We're flying
over the valley of the geysers.

It's one of the most
geothermically active regions

In the world.

Nigel, your fractured
russian really paid off.

I'm getting
fantastic footage.

( Gasps )

Maybe you better tell the pilot
to fly a little higher.

Absolutely, pumpkin.

Um...

( Speaking russian )

Sorry about that,
dearest.

( Whimpering )

Stop! Look, I know
you have your instincts

But this is different.

Oil spills don't
happen every day.

You were our friend,
and now you're chasing us.

Why should

We trust you?

Flip, this is really,
really dangerous.

I don't have time
to explain!

Darwin, help!

Do they mind?!

Put me down!
( Screams )

( Both grunting )

That's all of them.

Let's go.

( Grunting )

Eliza:
kip and beiderman,
this is all your fault!

That thornberry girl--

She's always
messing up my plans.

Now she's going
to squeal on us.

What if we hide
the evidence?

And just how do you
suggest we do that?

Uh, I don't know;
you're the brains.

And don't forget it!

Come on. We've got
to get out of here.

Otter:
let me go! Let me go!
Let me go, go, go!

This is for your own good.

( Otters protesting )

This was her idea,
not mine.

( Grunting )

Huh...

( Engine whining )

I don't believe it.

We're out of fuel.

Of all times
for this to happen.

And of all places.

I mean,
we're surrounded by oil.

( Giggling )

Oh-ho-ho.

( Peg leg clumping )

( Hatch opens and closes )

( Whimpering )

Get up here!

Coming, coming, coming,
coming, coming... Coming.

( Grunts )

Wait for me, boss!

( Panting )

You idiot!

What have you done?!

But it was
just an itty-bitty match.

( Angry clamoring )

I want to go home!

Well, what are
we doing here?

Butter, crackers,
kippers?

Somehow, I don't
think they're hungry.

I just want them
to calm down.

What are they doing?
I got to get home!

What are you doing?

( Gasps ):
flip's not here!

( Gasps )

( Panting )

Eliza, you're not
thinking of...!

( Grunting )

He's still out
there, darwin.

We have to get him.

( Darwin whimpering )

Oh, no! Flip!

Flip, hold on!

Hold still while I think
of ways to t*rture you

For ruining
my peace and quiet.

Eliza!

( Gasps )

Eliza!

Oh, this is so typical.

( Grunts )

Don't move!

( All coughing )

( All talking at once )

( Talking gibberish )

Hello?

Anyone there?!

Mayday, over.

( Talking gibberish )

Huh?

Nigel, there it is

The steller's sea eagle.

( Chicks chirping )

I say...

That smoke's far too black

To be coming
from one of the volcanoes.

We need to go closer
to investigate.

I believe my accent is
finally kicking in.

( Gasps )

Okay, I'm trying
to make a run for it.

Look who I'm talking to.

( Jabbering )

( Grunts angrily )

What are you doing?!

Okay, tarzan, jr.,
No letting go.

( Grunting )

( Whimpering )

Mom, dad! Help!

( Coughing )

Hold on, poppet.

I'm coming down.

Dad?

( Coughing )

Hold-hold it.

( Grunting )

I've got you.

Hang on tight.

Yahoo! Yahoo!

( Evil laughter )

( Screaming )

( Babbling )

Water, water!

( Screaming )

( Panting )

( Ship horn blowing )

Thornberry.

Oh, thank goodness

You're all right.

And thank goodness
you saw the smoke.

We got here just in time.

Well, my-my russian
has suddenly escaped me.

I can't remember
the words.

Thank you.

Thank you
so very much.

You're welcome.

I had no idea
you spoke english.

Judging from your accent,
I thought you were swedish.

Dasvidanya,
monsieur roshova.

Did you hear
that, marianne?

Swedish.

Perhaps I should...
Stick with english--

It being the mother
tongue and everything.

( Horn honking )

( Jabbering )

We'd better go
see if debbie's
all right.

Flip's okay
now, darwin.

You can let go.

( Laughs nervously )

Yes, well, you know

Just watching over
a fellow tool user.

I'm sorry I yelled
at you, flip.

If you want this back

I'll understand.

No. You keep it.

I guess you're going
to have to find a new home.

I know, but at least
we're all okay.

Marianne:
oh, my goodness!

( Gasps )

Glad you're okay.

Oh. Um, and I

Told mom and dad

You'd know why all
the sea otters
were in here.

( Laughs )

Uh, well, you were right.

I did find plenty
of things to do.

Oh, look, nigel--

Our steller's sea
eagle is safe.

And the dreadful
pair of scoundrels

Kip and beiderman are
safely behind bars.

Why aren't they out here
doing this dirty work?

I spent three hours
getting clean, you know.

It scares me, darwin.

All the sea otters
could have d*ed.

It's a good thing
you trusted

Your animal
instincts.

It's an oyster shell.

Oh, wow.

A pearl.

Darwin, look,
a real pearl.

( High-pitched squealing )

Take care.

( Squawking )

Kiev.

Borscht.

Dostoyevsky.
