Skipper : Stop! Stop!
Private : The zombie can speak!
Skipper : I'm... not a zombie.
Kowalski : But the infection. We heard the doctor say...
Skipper : Who are you gonna believe, some two-bit medicine man, or your own commanding officer?
Private : Can it really be true?
Kowalski : But how can we know for sure?
[Rico holds up chainsaw]
Private : Oh, Rico. Chainsaw's your answer to everything.
Skipper : Men, amigos, my brothers in black and white. Look at me! All I've got is a broken wing, and I'm pretty sure that's not contagious.
Private : Then why were you chasing us?
Skipper : Because it itches like sandpaper underpants. Rico, scratch maneuvers, double time.
[Rico looks at Kowalski and Private, who nod. He approaches Skipper]
Private : Now, Rico!
[the others tackle Skipper]
Kowalski : Nice try, zombie!
[They fall off the roof; cut to them in the vet's office]
Skipper : Okay, I stand corrected on the contagiousness of broken wings, but I did tell you I wasn't a zombie.

Private : It's Skipper! Skipper?
Kowalski : That's not Skipper, at least not anymore. You heard the doctor. That infection did things to his brain. Horrible things!
Private : What kind of horrible things?

Kowalski : Oh, you bet your succulent cerebral cortex he is. Just try to avoid eye contact, wear something to protect the brain area, and move slowly towards the...
[Skipper lunges forward]
Kowalski : Ah! It's trying to devour us all!
Private : Run!

Skipper : This does not wash! We're penguins, they're insects. We've got the size advantage.
Private : But Skipper, they've got the owie advantage.
Rico : Owie!
Private : We can't take out their nest without entering a world of pain.
Skipper : Kowalski, were are we on eliminating pain?
Kowalski : Way ahead of you, Skipper. I have been perfecting a pain elimination helmet.
[Puts on helmet and taps it to activate it]
Kowalski : As you will see, the nerve inhibiting matrix will provide 100% protection from any kind of...
[Lets a cinder block fall on his flipper]
Kowalski : Aah! It's not perfected! Oh, it hurts! It hurts so bad!
-
Private : Is he gone?
Kowalski : No sign of him - Aaah!
Private : What was that for?
Kowalski : I just assumed he was going to pop out of no- Look behind you!
Kowalski : And once again I appear to be mistaken. Hmm. Guess it just goes to show you can never tell...
[Suddenly Skipper pops up beneath them, and they all run away screaming]
-
Kowalski : Okay, let's get stupid!
[Turns on degausser on Private; he falls unconscious]
Kowalski : Private? Are you all right?
Skipper : Rico, my medical supplies.
[Rico coughs up two rubber gloves; Skipper slaps Private with them until he's conscious]
Private : Ooh, is that a cotton candy machine? I like cotton candy.
[Goes to machine and gets shocked]
Kowalski : Eureka! Stupid mission accomplished!
Skipper : All we need to do now is to point him towards the hornet's nest and...
Private : Oh, pretty shiny light machine.
Kowalski : No, not the degausser!
Private : [Turns on degausser and waves it over his head] I'm a disco penguin.
Kowalski : Be careful!
[the degausser drains all of their thoughts; they fall unconscious]
Private : Hello?
Kowalski , Skipper : I like degaussing!
[Rico laughs stupidly]

Private : Skipper's... gone? It-it-it can't be! What'll we do?
Kowalski : We'll honor him the way he wanted. By soldiering on like men.
[He salutes solemnly. Jump cut to the three of them standing in their headquarters, sobbing loudly. Kowalski and Private cling to each other and Rico regurgitates a picture of Skipper]
Rico : Why? Why? Whyyyyyy?
