"Wings, legs and tails"
"In front of you is a hot desert. Almost bare, almost lifeless. But..."
"...you can find occasional lizards..."
"...or bugs."
"You can also come across an ostrich."
"And one time..."
"...a vulture came across an ostrich."
- Hey, bird-brain, fly along, I'll show a place with tons of yummy stuff.
- This much?
- Hey-hey, I said "fly along," Not "run along."
- What, you forgot how to fly?
- I never knew.
- Never knew?
- If you never knew, we'll teach you. If you don't want, we'll make you.
- Bird-brain.
- I'll get you flying yet.
- Best to lose a day learning...
- Remember. Best to lose a day learning and then get there in 5 minutes flying.
- Let's go!
- Let's stop.
- Closer, closer.
- Listen up, bird-brain...
- All right, one more time. Pick up some speed and take off.
- And hurry up, or they'll eat all the good stuff without us.
- Come on, come on! Work it! Work it, ostrich, work it!
- Good, good, keep going.
- Hey, hey, hey! Hold up!
- "Wings, wings..."
- Legs!
- Bird-brain.
- "Legs, wings..."
- The most important is the tail!
