Let's go Move it Move it

Chapter 2

It was a normal day at the zoo as four animals were ready to start their performances for the people but some animals were planning to get out

Earth Wind and Fire's Boogie Wonderland plays as the statue monkeys ring the bell at the front of the zoo ring at the zoo's opening hour at 9:00 AM as the People are coming Stan bursts with excitement about them

Here come the people, Gene! Stan said

I know. Gene said

Oh, i love the people! Stan said

I know. Gene said

It's fun people fun time! Whoo! Stan said

Stan hops into a hippo's habitat and tap dances on a hippo's butt

Let's go, Stella! Up and at 'em! We're open! Stan said

(Stella Vermillion from Chiverly of a Failed Knight)

(Yawning) What day is it? Stella said

It's Friday! Field trip day! Dadadadada! Boom! Let's go! Come on! Stan said

Yes, it's field trip day. Let's get up and go. Stella said

Come on! Stan said

10 more minutes. Stella said

Ricocheting off a lamppost Stan arrives at the roof of a pen where a timid giraffe with constant health problems or so he thinks lives

Come on! Melman, Melman, Melman! Melman, Melman, Melman! Wake up! Rise and shine! It's another fabulous morning in the Big Apple. Let's go! Stan said

(Foghorn Leghorn from Looney Tunes)

(Scoffs) Not for me. I'm calling in sick. Foghorn said

What? Stan said

I found a brown. I say i found a brown spot on my shoulder. Foghorn said

Seriously? Stan said

Right here. See? Right there. Right there. You see? Foghorn said

Foghorn? Stan said

Yeah? Foghorn said

You know it's all in your head. Hmm? Stan said

Kids and adults burst through the zoo gates eager to view the animals and Stan

Let's go! Come on! a kid said

As rushed parents threw away their coffee cups in the trash Mason the chimp yawns retrieves a newspaper a half-empty coffee cup and a bagel and returns to his roommate Phil a mute chimp who doesn't speak

Phil! Mason said

(Snooring) Phil snored

Wake up, you filthy monkey. Mason said

Mason gives Phil his coffee while he reads the newspaper and eats his bagel Meanwhile Gene prepares to give his audience something special for his birthday

Oh, I'm going to be fresh. Straight out of the ground. Tasty fresh! Freshalicious. Gene said

Gene sips some water and spits it out

Ziploc fresh. Gene said

An eager crowd awaits outside Stan's rock as they wait for their king to emerge

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, the Central Park Zoo proudly presents... the announcer said

Stan! Stan! Stan! Stan! the kids said

Backstage Stan prepares himself for another day of people pleasing

Oh! Show them the cat! Who's the cat? Whoo! Stan said

The King of New York City. the announcer said

Stan the Lion! Stan and the announcer both said

Ahhhh! Stan and the kids both said

Here we go! Stan said

It's showtime! Gene said

Simultaneously as Stan emerges and turns on the fan blowing his mane

Perfect. Stan said

Stan emerges on his rock and lets out his signature roar

Roar! Stan roared

The crowds go wild as this is what he lived for a cameraman takes pictures of him meanwhile folks gather around Gene's pen to see his act

Gather around, people. The big show is about to start. Check out the zebra taking care of biz. That's right. Gene said

Sucking up some water Gene performs impossibly impressive water tricks with his mouth then sprays at 3 adults this amazes the kids and attracts photographers to take pictures of him while a series of pictures show Stella's swimming tricks and Foghorn's MRI and medication treatments Meanwhile on another side of the zoo the four penguin brothers who are also agents Skipper, Kowalski, Rico, and Private are plotting something of their mission

Just smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. Kowalski, progress report! Skipper said

Kowalski, the brains of the group, emerges from a hole dug out previously by the penguins

We're only 500 feet from the main sewer line. Kowalski said

And the bad news? Skipper said

Kowalski takes out a broken spoon

We've broken our last shovel. Kowalski said

Right? Skipper said

Skipper turns to his weapon specialist Rico

Rico, you're on litter patrol. Skipper said

Yay. Rico said

We need shovels. Skipper said

Okay. Rico said

And find more Popsicle sticks. Skipper said

Okay. Rico said

We don't want to risk another cave-in. Skipper said

Got it. Rico said

Rico jumps into the pool to look for the stuff

Skipper? Private said

Private the youngest of the group perks up

Yes Private? Skipper said

And me, Skipper? Private said

Do you want a job Private? Skipper said

Yes. I do. Private said

I want you to look cute and cuddly, Private. Skipper said

Okay. Private said

Good. Today we're gonna blow this dump. Skipper said

Rico snatches a plastic spoon from a boy eating his frozen yogurt Gene meanwhile at sunset impresses his last fans by making fart noises with his armpits

Yeah! You don't see that on Animal Planet! Ha-ha. Gene said

The mesmerized kids are hauled away by disgusted and confused parents

Well, the show's over, folks. Thanks for coming. I hope you thought it was fresh. I'll be here all week. In fact, I'll be here for my whole life. 365 days a year, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Halloween, and Kwanzaa. Please don't forget to never spay or neuter your pets. Gene said

Gene sips on his beverage before finishing his sentence

And tip your cabbie, because he's broke. Gene said

Suddenly a pair of shovels dig up from the ground and the penguin brothers emerge

What the? Gene said

You, quadruped. Skipper said

Yeah? Gene said

Sprechen sie Englisch? Skipper said

I sprechen. Gene said

What continent is this? Skipper said

Manhattan. Gene said

Hoover Dam! We're still in New York. Abort. Dive! Dive! Dive! Skipper said

Hey, hey! You in the tux! Wait a minute! Gene said

What is it? Skipper said

What are you guys doing? Gene said

We're digging to Antarctica. Private said

Private receives a slap from Skipper to silence him

Ant-who-tica? Gene said

Can you keep a secret, my monochromatic friend? Skipper said

Gene nods and leans down to listen to the little secret without the others noticing

Do you ever see any penguins running free around New York City? Skipper said

Gene shakes his head as if to say no

Of course not. We don't belong here. It's just not natural. This is all some kind of whacked-out conspiracy. Skipper said

Oh. Gene said

We're going to the wide-open spaces of Antarctica. To the wild! Skipper said

What? Gene said

You heard me. To the wild. Skipper said

the penguin brothers high-five each other as Skipper slaps Private again

The wild? You could actually go there? That sounds great. Gene said

Before Gene can thank them the penguin brothers have already gone down the hole

Hey, hold up! Where is this place?! Tell me where it is! Gene said

Skipper alone emerges from the hole pushing his face

You didn't see anything...right? Skipper said

Yes, sir! Oh! Uh, i'm sorry. No, sir. Gene said

Good. Skipper said

Skipper dives back into the hole and seals the hole entrance with Gene's cup

For his final appearance of the day, the king of New York City. Stan the Lion! the announcer said

Roar! Stan said

And the bells are ringing because it's time to go home and close the Zoo

Thank you. Thank you very much. You guys are great. You're a great crowd. Give yourselves a hand, huh? Thank you. Stan said

It looks like the people are heading home and the animals are about to rest and sleep tonight also stay tuned
