Antarctica
*enter Susan to a sick Caleb bearing peixe soup, an egg is seen rapped in blankets seguinte to Caleb*
Susan: "Here eat this. You need to keep your strength up."
Caleb: "Susan, we both know I'm dying. I can feel it. My mother had the same symptoms. She was gone within 3 days."
Susan: "No. You can't leave me. We have to raise our baby...It must have a father!"
Caleb: "I know you will take good care of our son or daughter. Why don't you get your brother to help you?"
Susan: "He's gone all the time. I barely get to see him."
Caleb: "Susan, he can help you during migration. That's about the only time you'll need big help. por then he will have no choice but to cadastrar-se in on the migration. You will do just *breath* fine. I've been sick for 2 1/2 days. My time is coming. You must be strong...for our baby."
Susan: *begins crying* "OK...I amor you..."
Caleb: "I amor you, too." *drifts slowly to sleep*
Susan: "Caleb! No! Come back to me! No! You can't leave me!" *begins weeping harder*
*crack*
Susan: *looks up*
*crack*
Susan: *sees egg hatching* "Oh, Caleb...You just missed it..." *goes over and cradles her newborn boy* "I'll name you Private. It was your grandfather's name..."
The seguinte Morning...
Susan: *running up to her brother* "Nigel! It happened...He hatched!"
Nigel: "Oh, Susan! How wonderful! Uh, where's Caleb?"
Susan: "...Uh...Nigel...There's something I need you to do..."
Nigel: "What is it, sister?"
Susan: "Caleb. He's...gone. It happened last night. While you were away...I need you to help me along the migration. You have to help me raise my son."
Nigel: *takes Private from Susan* "Oh, Susan, I don't know if I can."
Susan: "Please. I have no one else..."
Nigel: "OK, my dear. I will try. So what's the chap's name?"
Susan: "Private. After Caleb's father."
Nigel: "Private. A lovely name."
5 Years Later...
*Susan & Nigel alone in the início while Private plays outside with his friend*
Susan: "Nigel, this is getting to me. You go away for a long time, sometimes even for days. You've got to tell me where you go..."
Nigel: "Susan, you know where I go. To the far side of the reserve, feeding the children."
Susan: "No you don't. I went there yesterday to say hi & you weren't there. What's going on Nigel?"
Nigel: *sigh* "I guess you'll find out sooner or later. I'm a secret agent. I go all over the reserve to help those in need."
Susan: "Secret agent? Why have you never told me?"
Nigel: "I didn't want to worry you or put you or Private in any danger. You have to promise me you won't tell anyone. Especially Private."
Susan: *sigh* "OK. Fine. But be careful out there. You know I need you."
Nigel: "Don't worry. I will."
11 Years After Birth...The Migration
*Susan & Nigel waddling along in that year's migration/Private waddling with his friends*
Nigel: *whispers to Susan* "Hey, do you hear that?"
Susan: *listens*
RUN!!!
Susan/Nigel: *belly slide toward the sound*
*2 penguins are seen trying to escape a leopard seal*
Nigel: "I'm going to help them! Stay here!"
*Nigel goes to save the penguins*
*Susan follows disobediently*
*Nigel attempts to save the penguins but only manages to save the female, however she is badly injured*
Nigel: *goes to the female penguin* "Ma'am! Are you OK? I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner..."
Penguin: "It's OK. I know I'm not going to make it so I need you to promise me one thing."
Nigel: "I'll try."
Penguin: "If you meet a young pinguim named Skipper, tell him I said I amor him..."
Nigel: "OK. I'll do just that."
Penguin: "Thank you. Thank *breath* you..." *drifts to sleep*
Nigel: "Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry, miss. Susan, it's OK now you can come here..."
Susan: ...
Nigel: *rises to his feet & looks around* "Susan?"
Susan: ...
Nigel: "Oh no. No, no, no. This can't be happening...SUSAN!!!!" *echos her name*
*no response*
Nigel: "I can't believe this." *buries the female pinguim & walks slowly back to the rookery of migrating penguins*
Back At The Migration...
Lithia: "Hey! You! Have you seen my son? I've been looking for him ever since the migration started."
Nigel: "I'm sorry, no."
Lithia: "Oh, man. Hey! Have you seen my son?"
*walks to another penguin*
Nigel: *goes to Private* "Listen, Private. There's something I need to tell you."
Private: "What is it Uncle Nigel? Where's momma?"
Nigel: "There was an accident, your mom is...gone. I'm sorry."
Private: "Gone? Where'd she go?"
Nigel: "Um, she's...in a better place."
Private: "No, you don't mean..."
Nigel: *nods head slowly*
Private: *begins crying* "NO! This can't be happening!"
Nigel: *hugs him as he weeps* "I know, my boy. I'm crushed too."
*Private & Nigel begin walking alongside the migration slowly & silently, & gently weeping*
