Chapter 4
The animals were finished with their performances and were now celebrating Gene's 10 birthday
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
Hmm... the other animals except Gene singed

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
Doesn't it bother you guys that you don't know anything about life outside this zoo? Gene said
Nuh-uh. Foghorn said
Mmm-mm. Stella said
Nope. Foghorn said
Well. I mean, come on. That's just one subject. Stan said
Oh. Gene said
You got a little, uh, you got a little schmutz right there on your... Stan said
(Sighs) Thanks, guys. Thanks for the party. It was great. Really. Gene said
Stan spits a bone and drops it as Gene uses the treadmill
What's eating him? Foghorn said
Maybe you should talk to him, Stan. Stella said
What? Stan said
You know, go over there and give him a little pep talk. Stella said
Hey, i already gave him a snow globe. I can't top that. Stan said
(Sighs) Stan... Stella said
I can see where. I say i can see where this is going. Foghorn said
Huh? Stan said
What? Stella said
(Yawns) It is getting late. I guess i'm gonna... Foghorn said
Foghorn then falls asleep while Stan and Stella were having a silent argument with Stella threatening to hurt Stan if he doesn't talk to Gene
Come on. He's your best friend. Stella said
All right, all right. Okay. Stan said
Good. Night, Gene. Stella said
Night, Stel. Gene said
Stella backflips into her pool as Stan takes out an umbrella to avoid the chlorine
Ahhh… What a day. Stan said
I guess so. Gene said
I mean, just really, really i mean i tell you, it just doesn't get any better than this, you know? Stan said
Not really. Gene said
Ooh! It just did. Stan said
Huh? Gene said
Even the star's out.
Suddenly there was a little light in the dark sky
Not going to find a star like that in the wild. Stan said
Helicopter. Gene said
What? Stan said
It's a helicopter. Gene said
The little light in the dark sky really was a helicopter as it flew away
Gene. Buddy. Listen. Everybody has days when they think the grass might be greener somewhere else. Stan said
Stan. Look at me. I'm 10 years old. My life is half over. And i don't even know if i'm black with white stripes...or white with black stripes. Gene said
Stan tried talking to Gene and it didn't work as he was still sad so he got an idea
Gene? Stan said
What? Gene said
I'm thinking of a song. Stan said
Stan. Please. Not now. Gene said
Oh, yes. It's a wonderful song. I think you're familiar with it. Stan said
Please don't. Gene said
(Da da da da da!)
Oh, no. Gene said
(Da da da da da!)
Oh, no, you don't. Gene said
(Da da da da da!)
No, no, no. I'm not listening! Gene said
(Da da da da da!)
Lalalalalalalalalalala! Gene said
(Start spreading the news.)
I don't know you. Gene said
(I'm leaving today!)
Nope. Gene said
(We are a great big part of it!)
(Laughs) He's funny. Who is that? Gene said
Come on. Stan said
Nope. Gene said
You know you know the words. Stan said
Nope. Gene said
Two little words. Stan said
Gene then finally gave it to the song
New York. Gene said
(New York!)
Shut up, shut up, shut up! the bird said
Huh? Stan said
What? Gene said
Hey, i'm sleeping here! We're not all nocturnal, you know! the bird said
Hey, i'll knock your "turnal" right off, pal. Gene said
Yeah, you and what army, stripes? the snake said
You mess with him, you mess with me, Howard! Stan said
What? the snake said
You heard me. Stan said
What? the snake said
Stan and Gene were having a lot of fun with their New York song that they woke up the neighborhood trying to sleep stay tuned
