[narrator] Guy and Sam had
agreed on a dawn rendezvous…

[ticking]

… to double-cross Pam and
swipe the Moo-Lacka-Moo.

[sneaky spy music playing]

[whispering] Sam?

Sam?

World peace is at stake,
and he oversleeps.

Unbelievable.

[narrator] But it turns out Sam
flopped when he told Guy he'd flip.

Gah!

[narrator] Sam chose his mom,

betrayed Guy, and
gave him the slip.

No.

No!

[yells] No!

[music builds to climax]

[yawns] You look upset.

Good.

Grab your things. We have to get
as far away from here as we can.

Pam and Sam took off
with the Moo-Lacka-Moo.

- So?
- "So?"

The Yooks are evil!

How do you know that?

Unlike you, I have
met some Yooks.

Looka is not evil.

Have you ever considered the possibility
that maybe the Zooks are the evil ones?

Don't be ridiculous, E.B.

Zooks have been
nothing but good to us.

They are kind and gentle, and

[loud bang] Whoa!

Zookian Security Forces.

Everyone, freeze!

Thank Zookness you're here.

The inventor and the
girl are secured.

- [coughing]
- Find the I-Ams and the Moo-Lacka-Moo!

You're too late! They're on
their way to Yookia with it.

Blast!

Marilyn, look! What's this?

Why didn't you tell me I had
a poppy seed in my teeth?

Ugh.

There's no time to lose. Once they
get that Moo-Lacka-Moo to Yookia,

it's only a matter of hours
before it's weaponized.

Let's go!

That poppy seed is still here.

Oh, for crying out loud.

- [yells]
- What about us?

The Dookess wants
you back right away.

[both] Zookia forever!

Yes, of course.

I need to get to
work, A-S-A-Zook!

Yes, Dookess! Whatever you say,

death merchant.

[panting]

Ah, thank Zookness you're back.

Now that the Yooks have the Moo-Lacka-Moo,
the fate of our nation is in your hands.

I'll go straight to the lab

and finish up my
anti-w*apon to protect us.

And I swear it will
absolutely 100% not explode.

- Oh no, no, no, it has to explode.
- I'm sorry, what... [grunts]

[narrator] Hold up! Hold up! Did
the Dookess just change the game?

I thought she wanted inventions
that were not meant to maim!

I was under the impression that I
was building a defensive device.

[narrator] Right!
That's what I thought!

Indeed you are.

And the best defense
is a good offense.

We hired you precisely because
your inventions blow up.

You knew that, of
course, didn't you?

[sighs] No, I didn't know that.

Oh…

Hmm. Well, this must be
profoundly embarrassing

and devastating to
your self-esteem.

[sighs] Yes.

Well, no time to wallow.

Chop-chop, off to the lab!

Time to make a bigger
blow-uppy thing than theirs.

Guy, I realize
this is difficult,

but you have to know that,
our misunderstanding aside,

we have placed an enormous amount
of trust in you and your abilities.

[expl*si*n]

Yes, see? That's fabulous!

We are on the brink of w*r.

The lives of millions
of Zooks, young and old,

depend upon your invention
exploding bigger than ever.

Some you don't know, others,
you know all too well.

Michellee?

[Dookess] Yes.

They are all here
now and they're safe.

You have a beautiful
home, a well-paying job,

and the respect of your peers.

- It's...
- Everything I've always wanted.

[Dookess] Exactly!
So don't blow it.

The opportunity, that is.

Everything else, blow it up!
Blow it up big time. Boom-boom!

Guy, surprise!

Ah! I couldn't wait another second
to celebrate with you and E.B.,

so I hopped the first
flight to Zookia.

Look at you! [Chuckles]

Oh, I know. I'm in
my third week-mester,

so it could happen any day now.

[loud crunch]

Mm. By the way, I
eat constantly now.

Look at me, we got a big
hungry one in there. [Laughs]

With a hankering
for brizzumberries.

[narrator] Michellee! What should
he tell her? What should he do?

Will he cover it all
up, or say what is true?

[clears throat]

[kisses] Welcome to Zookia! I
love that you're loving the food.

So much to catch up on, but I
gotta get to work on the double.

[narrator] Okay,
so he's covering.

Well, oh… Oh, all
right, but where's E.B.?

E.B. is back at our place.
Gotta go. See you later.

- Bye!
- Huh?

[Michellee] But… But…

Okay.

[chomps] Mmm. That's good.

Your Dookness,
the Moo-Lacka-Moo.

[laughs]

I don't know why I
spent a moment worrying.

Pam-I-Am always
completes the mission.

Thank you, sir.

The nation of Yookia will never
be able to thank you enough,

but here is a small token.

[narrator] Sam looked up at Pam,
his fur electric with pride,

with a new understanding
of why his mom spied.

I want you to know that if this
mission were not so secretive,

we'd have ten parades
in your honor.

Well, I want you to know

that I couldn't have completed
this mission without my son.

Oh. And that's why there's
a medal for him too.

[gasps]

Ah! I… I…

"Name redacted"?

That's me!

Oh. Uh… I don't
know what to say.

[clears throat]

I'd like to thank my
secret agent, Mom,

my regular agents, everyone
that was nominated.

I mean, this is a really
special group of people.

[inspirational music swells]

Anyone out there with a
dream, a dream to sleuth.

Congratulations, Sam,
I'm proud of you.

You're lucky to have your
son close at hand, Pam.

My boy, Looka, didn't
come home last night.

I have patrols out looking
for him everywhere.

I'm worried those filthy Zooks
have something to do with it.

But now that we have
the Moo-Lacka-Moo,

hopefully we can finally have
peace, all thanks to you.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

[bell dings]

[music fades]

Well, that's it.

So, now that the mission
is done-zo, what's next?

[sighs] I think I
deserve some downtime.

Ah. Right, you do.

I couldn't imagine doing
another mission right now.

Especially since we have so
much time to make up for.

Really? We?

Yes, we.

We made a great team, Sam.

How would you like to join
the family business full-time?

[inhales]

What do you say,
partners in spy?

Quiche Florentine!

This is the greatest
day of my life!

I knew Guy was wrong about you.

Let's go home, Sam.

[narrator] Guy thwarted her
plans. What's E.B. to do?

There must be some way
to save Yook-know-who.

[knocking on door]

Guy, I told you to leave...

Surprise!

Oh.

Hi, Mom.

Hi!

Okay, you know what, I'm
gonna try this again.

Surprise!

You're gonna be a
big sister, honey!

[flatly] I know. Guy told me.

Well, that is surprising to me.

[clears throat]

So tell me all about
your life here in Zookia.

I'm glad you're here, Mom.

But I'm not in the
mood to talk right now.

I'm… angsty.

Well, I thought
things were good here.

Maybe for Guy they are.

[gasps]

Huh?

[sighs]

[narrator] E.B. wants to be happy,
but all she can think is about Looka,

locked up in a Zookian clink.

Ugh! Stupid frizzball!

[gasps]

I take it all back, frizzball.

[upbeat jazz music playing]

[jet whooshing]

[narrator] It was time to go home,
now that their mission was done.

These two heroes flew off
in a jet, uh, built for one.

[popping sound]

This is us.

Welcome home, Sam.

Ha. You park your
jet on the roof?

[chuckles] Of course not.

Snalfred does.

Very good, ma'am.

Snalfred, I'd like you
to meet my son, Sam.

You have a son. Shocking news.

This is the perfect place for a
spy to lay low between missions.

- [jet beeping]
- You never have to leave.

Whoa. Wow!

[Pam] It's a
full-service building.

Towel service, room service,

Secret Service.

Oh.

- This is it!
- [gasps]

Whoa!

[laughs] Ah!

Gasp!

Look at your kitchen!

Oh-ho-ho!

A Wizzotech 7,000
quad-range stove?

A 27-piece diamintium cookware
set with matching utensils!

Dual-temperature refrigerator
with built-in ice dispenser?

- [ice crunching]
- [Sam gasps] Cubed.

And crushed.

It's our kitchen now, Sam.

I picked up the groceries,
ma'am. Shall I cook?

Actually, no need, Snalfred.

I can handle it.

Ooh…

Very well, ma'am.

The fire extinguisher
is in the cupboard.

You hungry, Sam?

What are we having?

Yogurt? Oatmush?

- I was thinking more like this…
- [choir sings]

[gasps]

[twinkles]

[gasping continues]

- Eggs, eggs, eggs, eggs!
- I bet they're pretty good here.

["Mother and Child
Reunion" playing]

It's happening!

♪ No, I would not
give you false hope ♪

Ooh!

Yes! Green eggs and ham.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Whoo!

[laughs] Hey!

[narrator sighs] With Michellee
here, Guy knew what he had to do.

For his family, he'd
make a b*mb go kabloo.

- [clears throat]
- Ah! Who are you?

I'm the Guy Watcher.

The Dookess sent me
down here to watch you.

What? Why?

[laughs] She's afraid you might get
cold feet and not finish the job.

To the contrary,
my feet are hot.

Hot to finish this job.

I'm a true orange Zook!

Good. Then I'll just make
sure you don't get distracted.

Oh, believe me, there
will be no distraction...

- [Michellee] Guy!
- Michellee?

Distraction!

[door rattles, slams]

[Michellee] Hey! Why does everyone
keep shutting the door in my face?

[grunts]

[door slams]

Hey, I'm his wife,
his pregnant wife?

Which is why you should go. This
is no place for a pregnant woman.

Excuse me?

- Uh… [chuckles]
- [groans]

Fine.

Two minutes.

Hmph.

Who is that?

Standard Zookian lab
protocol, not a big deal.

No further queries necessary.

Okay…

- What's up?
- Well, I just came from home.

And E.B. is really upset with
the move, with Zookia, with you.

You want to tell me
what that's about?

Well, E.B. just needs to
learn that sometimes in life,

people need to make sacrifices,

and I've had to make a lot of
sacrifices to provide for her.

Provide what exactly?

Oh, well, you know, all
the things a kid needs.

Food, clothes, a roof over their
heads, the occasional trinket.

Uh-huh.

Trinkets, what
every child needs.

Are you forgetting something?

Um… Oh! And [grunts]

love.

What kind of idiot
would forget that?

Apparently, my husband.

Oh Guy, look at yourself.

You've been a great
provider from the beginning.

You provide this family with
all the love that it needs.

Don't ever lose sight of that.

[air horn blows]

Time is up!

I find his presence here odd.

[kisses]

Good luck with your invention.
I'm going to check on E.B.

On your way, on your way.

Okay, thank you, so he
can get back to work.

[narrator] Has this focus on
work only brought Guy sadness?

[clicking]

[narrator] Ooh! Let's get back to
Sam and his plate full of gladness.

[sighs]

I've eaten green eggs and ham
on a train and in the rain,

with a fox and in a box.

Here, there, everywhere.

But all I've ever wanted
to do was eat them…

[sniffs]

…at home.

With you.

Hurry up, before they get cold.

Classic mom line.

[breathes deeply]

[joyous music playing]

This is it.

[chomps] Mm.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

Mm! Yes, the eggs! So
nourishing! [Chuckles]

How do they taste?

Like love, with a
hint of paprika.

Mm! Mmm.

[Sam chuckles]

[Pam laughs]

[Sam] Mmm.

[spy music playing]

[guards chanting] Zook, Zook, Zook,
Zook, Zook, Zook, Zook, Zook, Zook…

[chanting fades]

- Ow!
- Oof!

Durfle! What are you doing here?

- I could ask you the same question.
- [whimpers] Oh no.

It's late, you're not at home,

and your hair's looking
mighty whimsilirated.

Why do you care?

Don't you have lives to destroy?

[gasps]

Okay, you caught me.

You wouldn't be thinking of
doing something very foolish

in a place where they hire
people just to watch, would you?

- [loud snap]
- Gah! Oh!

[moans]

Look, I know you're
here to visit Looka.

[gasps] Dare you speak his name!

I know you really
care about him,

so why don't you
give him this, um…

- This book?
- Hmm?

Mm.

That way, he can see what a
great place Zookia really is.

I'll tell you where you can
put your Fludzner, mister.

[narrator] Oh my… Guy,
you heard Michellee!

Now be a love provider!

Just take the book!

[narrator] Ugh. He's just making
this rift with E.B. even wider.

Ahem.

[groans]

- [loud snap]
- Gah! Ah.

[grumbles]

Zook, Zook, Zook, Zook, Zook,
Zook, Zook, Zook, Zook, Zook!

[chuckles nervously]

Zook, Zook, Zook.

Looka?

[humming "Waterloo Sunset"]

[continues humming]

Ugh. I'm really sorry, Looka.

It's okay, it's not your fault.

I never thought my stepdad
would do something like this.

And look what he did
to you, he's a monster!

And then he has the
nerve to steal my hacksaw

and ask me to give
you this stupid book?

- [metal clatters]
- [gasps]

Your dad gave you that book?

Huh?

[narrator] Woo! Yes!

Ha-ha! Guy did the right thing!

I knew it all along! [laughs]

All our heroes are on track,
not a thing going wrong.

- [sizzling]
- [man singing on TV]

Stay hungry, Sam.
More on the way!

[Sam] Mmm.

[radio announcer] We interrupt this
Muzak for a special news report.

This is Joaquin Furmano,

reporting from the
Ookian Peninsula,

where the cold w*r between
Yookia and Zookia is heating up.

[scoffs] Yeah, well, we delivered
the Moo-Lacka-Moo, Furmano.

[chomps] There's gonna be peace.

[grunts]

[yelps in pain]

Oof! Sources inside Zookia
tell us that they've captured.

Looka Ba-Dooka, the
Crown Dooka of Yookia.

Oh! [Chuckles] Dreamy eyes.

And our latest reports indicate
that this could boil over!

[grunts] Because the Yooks have
acquired the Moo-Lacka-Moo!

Chyeah, I know. The
key to world peace.

The dangerous, blowy-uppy
substance that will destroy Zookia!

Wha?

[in slow motion] Moo-Lacka-Moo

will destroy Zookia.

[clatters]

[normal speed]
Who's ready for sec…

Sam, what's wrong?

I'm not a hero, and
neither are you.

What are you talking about?

You said that the Yooks
were the good guys,

but they have a w*apon
pointed at Zookia.

You promised me getting the
Moo-Lacka-Moo to them would bring peace!

I hope it does.

Now that the Zooks know

the Yooks have the MLM,
they'll have to stand down.

But what if they don't?

I'm afraid that's
beyond our mission, Sam.

A spy can't worry
about those things.

But a friend can!

Guy and E.B. are in danger.

We have to go to
Zookia and save them.

That's not our job.

Now come on, enjoy your eggs!

No, thanks.

But I thought this was
everything you ever wanted,

your mom making
you eggs, at home.

They don't taste right anymore.

Millions of people
could get hurt.

My friends could get hurt,
and you don't even care.

You're abandoning them!

Just like you abandoned me.

[gasps]

[sighs]

Sam, you need to understand.

I did it to protect you.

[engine spluttering]

[big band jazz playing on radio]

[Pam] I was a young secret
agent, on my own, when I had you,

my precious little treasure.

Mama, will you make them for me?

Of course, honey!

[man crooning] ♪ Each
day's a holiday ♪

[giggles] Green eggs and ham!

[sizzling]

Here you are, Sam,
your favorite!

Mama, Mama.

- [whizzing]
- [gasps]

[Pam] There was
only one problem.

A spy is always in danger.

[Sam giggles]

- Mama!
- Eat up, sweetie.

[grunts]

[Pam] And so is
anyone they love.

[big band music continues]

- [Pam] Ah!
- [groans]

- Huh?
- Everything's okay, Sam!

[laughs]

More green eggs
and ham, coming up!

[stick whooshing]

I was Pam-I-Am, the
toughest spy in the world.

Huh?

Ha!

- Huh? Oh! Oh!

[panicked breathing]

[song ends]

Mama! [Laughs]

[Pam sighs]

But nothing was tougher than
realizing I had to let you go.

[cries]

[Pam] I loved you so much, Sam.

[sobs] I could never let
anything bad happen to you.

[Sam crying]

[Pam kisses]

- [doorbell rings]
- I knew you were better off without me.

[Sam cries]

Huh?

Mama.

[gurgles happily]

[Pam] So I brought you as far away
from East Flubria as possible,

somewhere the bad guys
would never find you.

And I did the hardest
thing I ever had to do.

[emotional music playing]

You were keeping me safe.

Just like when I tried to put you
on that boat back to Glurfsburg.

I wanted you safe.

And that's where you
are now, safe at home.

That's why I can't let
you go back to Yookia.

Just stay here with me.

I understand now.

You did what you did to
protect someone you love.

Sam…

[beeps]

Which is why I have
to go help my friends.

Sam, don't.

I'm sorry,

but they're my family too.
