When they got to Private's Uncle Nigel's house, Skipper felt jet lagged and fell asleep. Kowalski's in charge.
Kowalski: I'm in charge.
Kowalski, Rico, and Private took a walk outside. They have to get some ginger ale for Skipper's stomach.
Rico: We're in England!
Private: We know.
They went into the store.
Kowalski: We need to get ginger ale for Skipper. His stomach's bothering him.
Private: Got it.
Rico saw the ginger ale.
Rico: Ginger ale! There it is!
They were waiting on the line to pay for it. When it was their turn, Rico took out American dollars.
Rico: Do you accept dollars?
The woman at the cash register stared at Rico.
Kowalski: Seriously?
Private: Oh Rico. You don't use dollars in England. You use pounds.
Rico: How many pounds do you weigh?
Kowalski: No! Not that kind of pounds. Listen, pounds are what people in England call dollars.
Rico: Oh. What else is used instead of dollars in England?
Kowalski: Well there's something called euros.
Rico: Euros? Is that the English word for cheerios?
Kowalski: What? No!
Private laughed.
Kowalski: Private, why are you laughing?
Private: It's funny.
Kowalski: Oh what do I tell Skipper?
Rico: Relax. He won't even know.
Kowalski: What are you talking about?
Rico: Skipper won't know. He's got a stomach problem.
Kowalski: Yeah but I still...
Rico: Kowalski.
Private: Lets go back to the house.
Kowalski: Good idea Private.
They went back to the house after they paid for the ginger ale. Then they felt jet lagged. So they fell asleep. At 5:40pm, Skipper's team woke up. They were having dinner with Uncle Nigel.
Rico: Why do they call french fries chips in England? I thought potato chips were chips.
Skipper: Kowalski?
Kowalski: Well in England they call french fries chips.
Private: Like fish and chips.
Kowalski: That's right Private.
Rico: But what do they call potato chips?
Kowalski and Private: Chips.
Private: Skipper, is your stomach better?
Skipper: Yeah. I think so.
Rico: Well you can drink the ginger ale that I paid with dollars.
Skipper: Oh thanks Rico, wait dollars?
Rico: Yeah.
Skipper: You can't use dollars in England.
At seven o'clock, Skipper's team and Private's Uncle took a walk.
Uncle Nigel: So you guys slept good?
Kowalski: Yeah we did.
Uncle Nigel: Good.
Rico: Nigel, Skipper, here's the place that we were in this morning.
Skipper: That's where you got the ginger ale?
Private: Yes.
Then two or three hours later, they went back to Uncle Nigel's house.
Kowalski: Did you hear what Rico said about euros?
Uncle Nigel shook his head.
Skipper: No. What did he say?
Kowalski: Rico?
Rico: What?
Kowalski: Tell Skipper what you said about euros.
Rico: But...
Kowalski: Tell him.
Rico: I thought euros was the English word for cheerios.
Uncle Nigel laughed and Skipper rolled his eyes.
Kowalski: What?
Skipper: Nothing.
Private sat down on the couch and Kowalski turned the TV on. It was now 11:47pm.
Skipper: Goodnight boys.
Rico: I'm not tired.
Skipper fell asleep.
Private: I'll stay up with you for a while.
Rico: Cool.
Kowalski: Me..
Kowalski yawned.
Kowalski: Too.
Then Kowalski closed his eyes and started snoring. Private and Rico laughed.
Private: Alright Rico, now we need to get to bed.
Rico: Alright.
Rico and Private fell asleep, Kowalski was whistling "Sun and Moon" from Miss Saigon in his sleep, and Skipper was snoring. They were sleeping in the same room. Private's Uncle Nigel was asleep in a different room. There was a lot of rain. There was a boom. It sounded like thunder. Private woke up.
Private: What was that? Skipper, Kowalski, Rico?
Private grabbed his red ruby and then went back to sleep. There was thunder. Private opened his eyes.
Private: Rico? Rico!
Rico opened his eyes.
Rico: Goodnight!
Then Rico went back to sleep. Private sighed and went back to sleep. It was 7:10 in the morning. Skipper was talking in his sleep. He was having a nightmare about Private. Private was in the middle of nowhere and he got hurt.
Skipper: No. Private!
Skipper woke up.
Skipper: Private! Crikey!
Private heard Skipper screaming and woke up.
Private: You alright Skipper?
Skipper sighed in relief.
Skipper: You're alive.
Private: Of course I'm alive. You must have had a bad dream.
Skipper: Yeah.
Kowalski was still asleep but now he's whistling "The Vaults Of Heaven" By Michael Ball. Rico woke up.
Rico: Kowalski?
Rico saw Kowalski and laughed.
Private: Why is Kowalski whistling "The Vaults Of Heaven?"
Skipper: No idea.
Skipper put a white hat on.
Rico: Skipper, where are we going today?
Skipper: Liverpool. It's where the Beatles live.
Rico: Cool. Is Nigel coming with us?
Skipper: No. He's got stuff to do. It's just the four of us. Now somebody get Kowalski up!
Private: Got it. Kowalski, please wake up.
Skipper: Rico?
Rico: Wake up!
Kowalski woke up.
Kowalsk: The keys to the vaults of heaven! Oh morning guys.
Skipper: Lets go guys.
The penguins went to the car. Uncle Nigel was driving Skipper's team to the train station.
Private: This is going to be exciting.
Skipper: Yes it is.
Kowalski was cleaning his glasses.
Rico: Are we going on a plane?
Private: No Rico, we're going on a train.
Rico: Oh train, plane. What's the difference?
Kowalski: There's a difference.
Skipper took out the train tickets.
Private: Yeah there is a difference.
Kowalski: You see a train is on railroad tracks and a plane is in the air.
Rico: Oh. Okay. Are we in Liverpool yet?
Skipper: No.
Skipper found a newspaper and started reading it.
Rico: How about now?
Skipper: No.
Rico: Okay well how about now?
Skipper: No!
Rico: Now? How about now? Well?
Skipper put the newspaper down.
Skipper: Rico!
Rico: Sorry.
Private: Oh Rico.
Kowalski: Rico, stop bothering Skipper. Skipper, calm down.
There was now total silence. Rico regurgitated his phone and ear buds. There was still silence until Private spoke.
Private: Wow. Total silence.
The car stopped. The penguins were at the train station.
Skipper: We're here.
Rico: Where are the Beatles?
Skipper: We're at the train station.
Private: Bye Uncle Nigel.
Uncle Nigel: Bye Private.
Uncle Nigel drove away while Skipper's team walked into the station.
Private: What track?
Rico: Nine and three quarters?
Kowalski: Wasn't that from a movie?
Skipper: Stop playing around! The track is fourteen!
Kowalski saw a travelator. Rico got Kowalski into those.
Kowalski: I really want to ride that travelator.
Skipper: What's with you guys and travelators?
Kowalski: I always wanted to ride one that goes up.
Skipper: Guys! It's a horizontal escalator!
Kowalski saw a travelator that went up.
Kowalski: My dream came true. Whoa. There's even another one that goes down!
The penguins rode the travelator and then they were waiting for the train. In between the two stations, there was a wall. Rico ran to the wall and banged into it.
Skipper: What are you doing?
Rico: I thought this was nine and three quarters.
Skipper: Rico! This isn't a movie!
Kowalski: Skipper, calm down.
The penguins saw a freight train. It was very long.
Private: Look at that train.
Rico: So long.
The train was now late. It was two minutes late.
Private: Crikey! It's late.
Skipper: Two minutes!
Kowalski: Well at least it's not three minutes.
The train was now three minutes late.
Skipper: You were saying!
Kowalski: Never mind. warning, don't talk to Skipper right now. He's in a bad mood.
Private: Okay. Thanks Kowalski.
