251
If anyone can, Mrs. Astrakhan can.
252
Can't sing?
253
Can't sing? Rubbish, darling.
254
Every little penguin1 has a song.
255
When I have finished...
256
...your singing will be giving everyone
the goose pimple2.
257
Now, to begin.
First, we must find a feeling.
258
Happy feeling, sad feeling.
259
Maybe lonely feeling.
260
You feel it?
261
Good. Now, let it out.
262
Be spontaneous.
263
That, what is that?
264
I'm being spontan-you-us.
265
Darling, you want to meet beautiful girl?
266
You want to make the egg?
267
Oh, yes.
268
Well, sing! And no jiggy-jog.
Do not move muscle.
269
No moving!
270
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
271
Enough!
272
Okay. We go back to the top.
273
Forget body. Look inside soul.
274
Feel the feeling. Enormous feeling.
275
So enormous it fills whole body.
276
It must escape or you explode.
277
-Now, open your little beak3.
-Come on.
278
Yes, yes. Lift up the head, that's it.
279
Now.... Now....
280
Now
281
Disaster! Catastrophe4!
282
I never fail before.
283
Never! Never!
284
-Well, I thought it was kind of cute.
-But it just ain't penguin, okay?
285
So what if he's a little different?
I always kind of liked different.
286
He's not different.
He's a regular emperor penguin.
287
Hey, you know what? I can leave school.
288
I can go to work. The three of us.
289
Whoa, little fella. You ain't going nowhere
till you got yourself an education.
290
You get them singing muscles
big and strong, you got that?
291
I'll try, Pa.
292
You bet you will. The word "triumph"
starts with "try," and it ends with...?
293
-"Umph."
-That's right. A great big "umph."
294
I'm going fishing.
295
Oh, Mumble5.
296
That first hard summer...
297
...while his mom and dad
were working overtime6...
298
...on the great commute7 to the sea...
299
...Mumble found a place
away from disapproving8 eyes...
300
... where a funky9 little fella
could be himself.
