Let's go Move it Move it

Chapter 3

While Gene was done showing off all of his tricks to some people he was about to meet some penguins

Gene meanwhile 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

Some underpants flies in Stan's face

Oh. Thank you. Oh! Well. Thank you. Oh, that's too kind. Too kind. Stan said

Stan sling shoots the I Heart NY undies which land on Foghorn's nose

Aah! Underpants! I say underpants. Foghorn said

The humans left the zoo as it was closing soon

Everybody, please get home safe. Hey! Check out my Website. Twenty-four hour Stan Cam. Watch me sleep. Stan said

Dusk hits the zoo and the staff roams the zoo with a band of chefs and groomers to relax the exhausted animals of their hard work Gene gets his hooves polished like shoes and receives a fresh patch of green grass from the chef as a birthday meal

Alright. Gene said

Stella receives a wide variety of fruit for her meal while drying in a big towel and polishing her nails for a massage

This is the life. Stella said

Foghorn is still getting medical treatment

That's the spot. Foghorn said

A chef reveals a tray full of medications and vitamins to make him feel better

Oh! I'm in heaven. Foghorn said

Stan seems to get the most treatment out of all the animals and receives mane grooming nail trimming and a full pack of steak meal

Perfect. Stan said

Stan devours the steak in a number of seconds leaving a bone.

Delicious. Stan said

Later that night the four friends gather through a small party to celebrate Gene's 10th birthday

Ooh, happy birthday! Stella said

Just rip it open. Come on! Stan said

What is it? What is it? Gene said

Come on. Open it up. What did you get? What have you got? What have you got? Stella said

Gene opened a present and it was a thermometer

Yeah! A thermometer. Gene said

Yup. Foghorn said

Thanks. I love it, Foghorn. I love it. Gene said

Gene puts the thermometer in his mouth with style

Yeah, i wanted to give you something personal. Foghorn said

I know. Thanks. Gene said

You know, that was my first rectal thermometer. Foghorn said

Your first what? Gene said

My first rectal. I say my first rectal thermometer. Foghorn said

Your first rectal thermometer? Gene said

Yup. Foghorn said

Mother-?! Gene said

Gene proceeds to gag at the thought and spits out the thermometer while licking his tongue

I'll miss that bad boy. Foghorn said

Okay. Get the cake. Stan said

Got it. Stella said

Foghorn, come on. Stan said

Alright. Foghorn said

Foghorn then blows a party tooter

Mason spits out his coffee

I say! Mason said

Phil smells his armpits and faints

Aw, well, now, you guys are just embarrassing me. And yourselves. Gene said

What are you talking about? We worked on that all week. Stan said

Let's go. Let's make a wish, babycakes. Stella said

Gene blows out the candle shaped like a 10 then takes a big bite out of the cake

Come on. What'd you wish for? Stan said

Nope. Can't tell you that. Gene said

Come on. Tell. Stan said

No, siree. I'm telling you, it's bad luck. Gene said

What? Stan said

You want some bad luck, i'll blab it out. Gene said

What? Stan said

But if you want to be safe, I'll keep my mouth shut. Gene said

Oh, for crying out loud, Gene. Stella said

Yeah? Gene said

Would you just tell us? Stella said

But... Gene said

I mean, really. What could happen? Stella said

OK. Gene said

Good. Stella said

I wished i could go to the wild! Gene said

The wild?! Whoa! Stan said

Stan falls over the balcony of his home

Foghorn swallows the party tooter and chokes

Stella drops her jaw with a shocked look on her face

I told you it was bad luck. Gene said

Stella tries to get the party tooter out of Foghorn's throat

The wild? Are you nuts? Stan said

Huh? Gene said

That is the worst idea i've ever heard. Stan said

(Coughs) it's unsanitary. Foghorn said

And stupid. Stella said

The penguins are going. So why can't i? Gene said

The penguins are psychotic. Stan said

Come on. Just imagine going back to nature. Back to your roots. Clean air, wide-open spaces! Gene said

Well, i hear they have wide-open spaces in Connecticut. Stella said

Connecticut? Gene said

Yeah. What you got to do is you got to go over to Grand Central. Then you got to take the Metro-North train...north? Foghorn said

So one could take the train? Just hypothetically. Gene said

Gene, come on. What would Connecticut have to offer us? Stan said

Lyme disease. I say Lyme disease. Foghorn said

Thank you, Foghorn. Stan said

No, no, really! Really, i just want... Gene said

There's certainly none of this in the wild. Stan said

Stan was shoving his steak at Gene's face

Plus, this is a highly refined... Stan said

But. Gene said

Type of... Stan said

But. Gene said

Food thing... Stan said

But. Gene said

That you do not find in the wild. Stan said

Have you ever thought there might be more to life than steak, Stan? Gene said

He didn't mean that, baby. No, no, no. Stan said

The animals were shocked to hear about Gene's wish that he wanted to experience the wild stay tuned
