The Rollbots' Adventures of Happy Feet/Transcript

This is the script for The Rollbots' Adventures of Happy Feet.

[The story begins at The Flip City Police Department HQ]

Manx: Well, that speeder was only the beginning but I managed to catch him in no time flat.

Penny: Very impressive, Manx.

Tinny: Cool!

Spin: Good job.

Captain Pounder: Rollbots, gather around.

[They obey]

Spin: What's up, Captain?

Captain Pounder: Looks like it's time we go on a adventure outside Flip City.

Botch: The guy thought we could use a change of scenery.

Spin: It could be fun.

Tinny: Yeah. Who knows what we might discover.

Penny: We can make new friends.

Lance: And learn new cultures.

Manx: And see new places we've never seen before.

Captain Pounder: All very true. Now, I've had the Tensai build a dimensional transportation device that will take us to the chosen destination.

Spin: Show us, Captain.

[The scene changes to the Tensai lab where Captain Pounder leads them to the machine]

Captain Pounder: Here it is.

Spin: Whoa. That's awesome.

Tinny: Amazing.

Lance: Quite the eye catcher, if I do say so myself.

Botch: How does it work?

Captain Pounder: You'll see in a minute.

[The machine turns on, and a portal opens to the chosen destination]

Captain Pounder: [moving towards it] Let's go. [changes to his ball form and rolls in]

Spin: Let's do it.

[He and the others change to their ball forms and follow Captain Pounder]

[The scene changes to outer space where the portal opens and the Rollbots come out and change to their robot forms]

Tinny: Whoa! Where are we?

Captain Pounder: Outer space, Tinny.

Lance: Wow! We're above Earth!

Spin: Wait, do you hear that?

Botch: Hear what?

Spin: It sounds like singing.

Woman Off-Screen: Once there was a way~

Penny: Follow that voice.

[The voice continues singing as they follow it]

Woman Off-Screen: To get back homeward~

Spin: We're getting closer.

Man Off-Screen: All the stars out tonight~

Woman Off-Screen: Once there was a way~

To get back home~

Man Off-Screen: I only have eyes~

Woman Off-Screen: Sleep pretty darling~

Do not cry~

Lance: Where as these voices coming from?

Man Off-Screen: For you~

Woman Off-Screen: And I will sing a lullaby~

Man Off-Screen: With a song in my heart~

Spin: I don't know, Lance.

Woman Off-Screen: So tell me~

Captain Pounder: It's coming from over there.

[They follow the voices over the moon towards Earth]

Woman and Man Off-Screen: Tell me something good~

Botch: Which part of Earth is that signing coming from?

Woman Off-Screen: Yeah, yeah, yeah~

Tell me that you love me~

Tell me, baby~

[The earth spins to reveal Antarctica]

Penny: It's coming from Antarctica.

Manx: It's so white.

Captain Pounder: Alright, everyone follow me.

[They follow him as the song continues]

Men and Woman Off-Screen: Tell me something good~

[The Rollbots land on Antartica's white surface]

Rollbots: Wow!

Man Off-Screen: Only you~

Woman Off-Screen: But how can you know for sure?

Spin: Over there!

[They follow the singing to a colony of emperor penguins]

Man Off-Screen: Can make this world seem right~

Woman Off-Screen: Is there really just one?

Man Off-Screen: I need your love~

Woman Off-Screen: So many songs but I feel so lonely.

Spin: Emperor penguins?

Penny: How can they sing? They're animals.

Botch: They're not supposed to talk.

Captain Pounder: Maybe so but these penguins are special and you're about to see why.

[He leads them into the colony and points to one of the female penguins, Norma Jean]

Captain Pounder: Now, keep an eye on the female penguin and watch what happens.

Lance: OK.

Norma Jean: You don't have to be beautiful~

To turn me on~

Norma Jean's backing group: Oh, yeah~

Norma Jean: I just need your body, baby~

Male Penguin 1: Hello~

Norma Jean: From dusk to dawn~

Male Penguin 1: Is it me your looking for~

Norma Jean: You don't need experience~

Male Penguin 2: Take~

Norma Jean: To turn me on~

Male Penguin 2: These broken wings~

Norman Jean: You just leave it up to me~

Male Penguin 3: Let's talk about eggs baby~

Let's talk about you and me~

Norma Jean: Don't have to be cool to be my pearl~

Don't have to be cool to rule my world~

Ain't particular song I'm more compatible with~

I just want your extra...~

(Spoken) Boys. Boys! Give a chick a chance.

Memphis: (singing) Well since my baby left me~

I found a place to dwell~

It's down at the lonely street, at heartbreak hotel~

I'm feelin so lonely baby~

I'm feelin so lonely...~

(with Norman Jean) I'm feeling so lonely~

Norman Jean: I could die~

Memphis: Don't have to be rich to be my girl~

Norma Jean: don't have to be cool to rule my world~

Memphis: You rule my world~

Norma Jean: In no particular song I'm more compatible with~

Norma Jean and Memphis: I just want your extra time and your kiss~

Lovelace: His mom and dad met in the usual way. The song became love......and love became the egg.

[The scene changes to Memphis moving the egg onto his feet]

Norma Jean: Memphis? You got it, sugar?

Memphis: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Safe and warm.

Norma Jean: Hold it tight, now.

Memphis: Whoa, I think I felt a move in there.

Lovelace: And in the usual way......the moms left for the fishing season......while the dads stayed home to do egg time.

Norma Jean: You gonna be okay, Daddy?

Memphis: Oh, sure, honey. We'll be waiting for you, right here on Lonely Street.

Norman Jean: I love you more and more, tell me why~ Bye-bye, now.

Memphis: Goodbye, Norma Jean. Don't you worry about a thing.

Norma Jean: Don't wanna let you go~

I never can say goodbye, boy~

[The Rollbots come out of hiding and approach Memphis]

Rollbots: Hello.

Memphis: Whoa. Who are you guys?

Captain Pounder: I'm Captain Pounder of the FCPD. This is Spin, Tinny, Penny, Lance, Botch, Macro and Manx.

Memphis: Nice to meet you. I'm Memphis.

Spin: We'll help you take care of the egg until your wife gets back.

Memphis: Thanks. What kinds of things are you?

Captain Pounder: We are Rollbots. [changes to his ball form] Which means we're both balls [switches back to bot form] and robots.

Memphis: I see. That ain't penguin.

Captain Pounder: I know but still, you can count on us to help you keep that egg safe at all costs.

[The scene changes to the sun setting as the cold winds blow in]

Noah the Elder: When all others leave...

Other elders: We remain!

Noah the Elder: When the sun vanishes...

Other Elders: We remain!

Memphis: I'm feelin' so lonely~

I'm feelin' so lonely--~

I'm feelin' so lonely--

Noah the Elder: Heed the wisdoms, brothers! Make a huddle!

Other elders: Warm thy egg!

Noah the Elder:Make a huddle!

Other Elders: Share the cold!

Memphis: Share the cold.

Noah the Elder: Each must take his turn against the icy blast... if we are to survive the endless night. Raise your voices, brothers! Give praise to the Great 'Guin... who puts songs in our hearts and fish in our bellies!

Norman Jean: Ain't no particular song I'm more compatible with~

Memphis: Oh, baby, l think l wanna dance now.

[Memphis drops his egg]

Memphis: No, no, no, no, no, no!

Spin: Follow that egg!

Penny: Come on!

[They go after it]

Lovelace: There is a wisdom, brothers and sisters, that stands above all others. Never, ever...

Memphis: It's okay.

Lovelace: No matter what...

Memphis: No harm done, you see?

Lance: That was way too close.

Botch: Tell me about it.

Lovelace: Drop your egg.

Memphis: No, we're cool. We're cool.

Captain Pounder: Well, at least nothing bad happened.

Penny: Yeah. That egg would be frozen in ice if we hadn't been there.

Lovelace: Of the many thousands who sang through that long night of winter, it was Memphis who cried out most fervently to turn the Earth and bring back the sun.

[The scene changes to the sun rising over the Earth and Antarctica
