Antarctica

*enter Susan to a sick Caleb bearing 물고기 soup, an egg is seen rapped in blankets 다음 to Caleb*

Susan: "Here eat this. 당신 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. 당신 can't leave me. We have to raise our baby...It must have a father!"

Caleb: "I know 당신 will take good care of our son 또는 daughter. Why don't 당신 get your brother to help you?"

Susan: "He's gone all the time. I barely get to see him."

Caleb: "Susan, he can help 당신 during migration. That's about the only time you'll need big help. 의해 then he will have no choice but to 가입하기 in on the migration. 당신 will do just *breath* fine. I've been sick for 2 1/2 days. My time is coming. 당신 must be strong...for our baby."

Susan: *begins crying* "OK...I 사랑 you..."

Caleb: "I 사랑 you, too." *drifts slowly to sleep*

Susan: "Caleb! No! Come back to me! No! 당신 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 당신 Private. It was your grandfather's name..."

The 다음 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 당신 to do..."

Nigel: "What is it, sister?"

Susan: "Caleb. He's...gone. It happened last night. While 당신 were away...I need 당신 to help me along the migration. 당신 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 집 while Private plays outside with his friend*

Susan: "Nigel, this is getting to me. 당신 go away for a long time, sometimes even for days. You've got to tell me where 당신 go..."

Nigel: "Susan, 당신 know where I go. To the far side of the reserve, feeding the children."

Susan: "No 당신 don't. I went there yesterday to say hi & 당신 weren't there. What's going on Nigel?"

Nigel: *sigh* "I guess you'll find out sooner 또는 later. I'm a secret agent. I go all over the reserve to help those in need."

Susan: "Secret agent? Why have 당신 never told me?"

Nigel: "I didn't want to worry 당신 또는 put 당신 또는 Private in any danger. 당신 have to promise me 당신 won't tell anyone. Especially Private."

Susan: *sigh* "OK. Fine. But be careful out there. 당신 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 당신 hear that?"

Susan: *listens*

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 당신 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 당신 to promise me one thing."

Nigel: "I'll try."

Penguin: "If 당신 meet a young 펭귄 named Skipper, tell him I said I 사랑 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 당신 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 펭귄 & walks slowly back to the rookery of migrating penguins*

Back At The Migration...

Lithia: "Hey! You! Have 당신 seen my son? I've been looking for him ever since the migration started."

Nigel: "I'm sorry, no."

Lithia: "Oh, man. Hey! Have 당신 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, 당신 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*
