[man over PA] Welcome
to the Australian Wildlife Park,

home to the cutest animals in the world.

We're here! Look at them all!

Whoa! [chuckles]

Mummy, Mummy, can I please have
one of these? Please?

- [kid 1] Aw, baby bilbies!
- [purring]

Can I take one home?

Take my picture! Take my picture!

- Oh my gosh! It's Pretty Boy!
- [kids screaming excitedly]

- [kid 2] Yay! Pretty Boy!
- [all cheering]

[kids] Aw.

- [screams]
- [cameras clicking]

Okay, folks, just give the little fella
some air, would ya?

He's a bit tuckered out.



But his webcam is on 24-7,

so you can see him anytime
on the Pretty Boy app.

- [kids] Yay!
- [whimpering]

[kid 3] We love you!

- [kids] Bye!
- [kid 4] Bye, Pretty Boy!

[sighs] I wanna go see the ugly animals.

Dolores, you come back here!
Those creatures are dangerous.

I'm not afraid
of some stupid, smelly, ugly... [gasps]

[dramatic music playing]

[hissing]

[snarling]

[growling]

- [water flowing]
- [gasps]

[roaring]

[screaming]

[indistinct chatter on monitor]

[crocodile growling]

[chittering]

What's going on?

- Did Jackie scare another kid?
- [buzzing]

[munches, gulps]

Yep.

[growling]

[laughing] She's such a ham.
The show hasn't even started yet.

- She didn't bite anyone, did she?
- Nah.

Just gave some whiny kid a bit of a scare.

Probably the first time
she's seen a croc close-up.

Wait till they get a peep
at Maddie. [laughs]

- [horn blaring]
- Showtime, guys.

Do they have to blast that horn?
Why can't they play panpipes?

You're a deadly scorpion, Nigel.
Forget the panpipes.

[sighs] I hate showtime.

Should we wake Maddie
and tell her what it's like out there?

Nah. Let the poor thing sleep.
She'll know soon enough.

[door opens]

- Aw, not the pincers!
- Ugh! Could they at least warm 'em up?

Righto, guys, grab some glass.

- Mmm.
- [Nigel sighs]

Oh, stop. Please!
I'm ticklish. Please stop!

Hey, hey, hey!
Watch the spikes! That's soft tissue!

Good luck, Maddie.

[ominous music playing]

[switch clicks]

G'day, gorgeous.

[slithering]

[hissing]

Hi, Chaz.

How's my special girl?

Ready to get out there
and meet your public?

Yes. [chuckles]

And I know you can't understand me,
but I'm gonna make you so proud out there.

You call that a smile? Come on,
where are those fabulous fangs?

[hissing]

Maddie, those people are gonna go nuts
when they see you.

So let's get out there
and show the world how beautiful you are.

[giggles]

- [crowd cheering]
- They're horrible. They're disgusting.

They're the deadliest creatures
on the planet.

But have no fear.

'Cause they're guarded by the toughest
and bravest hero in the whole world.

He puts the Aussie in awesome.

The wonder from Down Under.

He's my dad, Chaz Hunt.

[crowd cheering]

[rock music playing]

[whistling]

- [purring]
- [gasps]

Thanks, Chazzie.

I don't know about being a hero, folks,

but the ol' chip off the block's right
about one thing.

These animals are deadly.

Step back, son. Step back.

‘Cause it's time to meet Jackie,
the saltwater crocodile.

[growling]

This beast from the billabong
could swallow you whole.

But not on my watch!

[scattered screams]

[snarling]

Come and get me, you ugly monster!

- [Chaz] Come on. Easy!
- [gasps] Papa!

- [Chaz] I'll take her from here, son.
- [growling]

[grunting]

Easy. Whew! Crikey!

That was tougher than tackling
a Tasmanian tiger off a tucker box.

It's not just the big critters
you gotta look out for.

- Chazzie, bring out the creepy crawlies.
- Here ya go, Dad!

In this box
is one of Australia's deadliest creatures.

- And he's no bigger than my hand.
- [crowd gasps]

Sting, sting. Ouch, ouch.

Grr. Grr.

Not scary enough? How'd you like
to hold this hairy little beauty,

a venomous funnel web spider!

[growls]

[Chaz] He's extra toey right now because
it's funnel web spider mating season,

and he's the only one in captivity.

I can't believe he just told them that.

You have been a bit tense lately, Frank.

Hang about!
What's this disgusting thing under my hat?

Ugh! Your face?

[Chaz] A thorny devil lizard!

Ew.

But by far, the deadliest creature
on this planet is the taipan snake.

There is no creature
more deadly, more venomous.

Now stand back, folks.

I trained her myself
the moment she came out of the egg.

Please let them love me.

Oh no, set the bar lower, Maddie.

Like. Please like me.
Liking would be fine,

and like could become love,
and like would be terrific. [chuckles]

- Break a leg, Maddie!
- She doesn't have any legs.

She can borrow one of mine.

- [Chaz] So prepare to meet...
- [crowd gasps]

- ...Medusa!
- [crowd cheering]

[cameras clicking]

Oh, the sun! [gasps]

Oh my gosh. Thank you. Ah!

It's so amazing finally meeting you all.

Um, I... I've never even seen
the sun before. [chuckles]

Now show 'em that beautiful smile.

- [hissing]
- [crowd gasps]

Well, didn't I warn you, folks?
She is a cold-blooded killer!

Wait, what?

- [crowd screaming]
- [Chaz] Look at those hideous fangs!

"Hideous"? But you... you said...

Hear that horrible hiss?
That means she's about to attack!

- Look at her!
- [hissing]

[crowd screams]

Just one drop from this snake's venom
can kill 100 people

in less than ten seconds.

- [crying]
- [hissing]

Get that monster away from my son!

"Monster"?

Righto! Back in your box!

- Get in there, you ugly monster!
- [Chaz chuckles] Good one, son!

But I'm not a monster, am I?

[crowd cheering]

[Chaz over PA] The park
is now closing, folks,

but don't forget to tune in
to the Pretty Boy app

to watch
everyone's favorite koala go to bed.

Night night, little guy. Sleep tight.

["Zou Bisou Bisou"
by Gillian Hills playing]

[yawning]

Bonne nuit, Pretty Boy. [blows kiss]

- [grunts]
- [crowd roaring]

- Aw. [groans]
- [bell dings]

[man] This is Mission Control
patching you through to Pretty Boy now.

Aw.

["Zou Bisou Bisou" continues playing]

[song ends]

[groaning] Ow!

- [Nigel gasps] Oh!
- [groans]

[grunts]

[door closes]

- Are you okay, Maddie?
- [door opens]

Get down, you crazy croc.

[snarling]

- [blows raspberry, screams]
- [laughing]

Be careful, Jackie.
They don't know you're kidding.

Ah! They love it!

Besides, keeps me young.

And how are my babies tonight?

Maddie! I almost forgot.
Today was your first show. How'd it go?

Aw. That bad, huh?

Oh, honey.

Look at me. Come on.
Show Auntie Jackie that beautiful face.

[sniffling] I'm not beautiful.

I'm a monster.

[laughs] Because a few humans screamed?

They were terrified, Jackie.

I... I made them cry.

So? Have some fun with it. I do.

That's not who we really are.
Frank, who are you?

Australian funnel web,
Hadronyche cerberea.

[laughs] Not the label on your cage, love.
In your heart. What's your true passion?

[sighs] Interpretive dance.

[laughing]

What? Why is that so funny, Zoe?

I thought you needed a partner
to be a dancer.

Don't be mean! It's not Frank's fault

that it's mating season,
and he can't get a date.

Oh my God. Please, can everybody
just stop talking about that?

I'm single by choice! By choice, people!

And Nigel... Nigel just wants
everything to be beautiful.

I have a horror of beige.

[Jackie] And Zoe's so smart,

she's always figuring out
clever ways to escape.

And as for you, you can...

- Kill 100 people in ten seconds!
- [Zoe] Seriously?

Uh, I was just complimenting
her ruthless efficiency.

Not helping, Frank.

You can be whoever you want.

So who cares
what a bunch of silly humans think?

But... but Chaz said that they'd love me.
He said I was special.

And you are special.

No, not in that way,

not like him.

["Tous les visages de l'amour (She)"
by Charles Aznavour playing]

[cooing]

- Ugh. Gross.
- I hate him.

I'd love a snuggle.

Uh, I mean, boo.

People love him.
They line up for hours just to hug him.

No one's ever gonna wanna hug me.

Unless you threaten them
with your insatiable bloodlust.

- Frank!
- It's just a pitch.

Aw. You know what you need?

- A nice bedtime story to cheer you up.
- Yay!

Now you kids were brought here
when you were just babies,

so you wouldn't remember anything
about the outback.

Oh, I do, I do. I mean, not much
but, uh, just a song my mum used to sing.

- Why don't you sing it to us now?
- And maybe Frank can dance!

[kissing]

Uh, maybe Frank needs help.

It... it... it's a twig. I know that.

But try telling my heart.

♪ Let your worries slip away ♪

♪ Tomorrow is a brand-new day ♪

- [all] Aw.
- [Jackie] Aw, that's beautiful, hon.

Your mum must've loved you very much.

[sighs] I wish I'd known her.

Well, can't say I ever met her,

but before I came here,
I visited a lot of places in the outback.

- What was your favorite place?
- [Jackie] Oh boy, that's a tough one.

- She tells us every night, Nigel.
- Shh.

I think my favorite place is
the mountains where I grew up.

- I knew it! I knew she was gonna say that.
- She says it every night!

[Jackie] They're
the most beautiful mountains in the world.

Tall as the sky!

- [Nigel gasps] What color?
- [Jackie] Red as a bushberry.

Except at sunset, when they turn
the true color of the outback.

- [Nigel] Burnt sienna.
- [Jackie] That's right.

And that's the place
where all of you come from.

And I know that one day

you're gonna find your way
back to those mountains

and meet your families.

Now go to sleep, my babies.

[yawning]

[Jackie] First show's
always the hardest, hon.

It gets easier. I promise.

[seagulls cawing]

[Chazzie] Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

["9 to 5" by Dolly Parton playing]

[blow-dryer whirring]

I want one. You promised me.

- Pretty Boy!
- Look, it's Pretty Boy!

[growling]

- Whoa!

[giggling]

[Chaz] Back in your box!

- [growls]
- [screams]

Stay still, ya mean old croc!

- Ahh!
- [kids laughing]

- Sting, sting! Ouch, ouch!
- [both gasp]

- [gasps, cries]
- [Chaz] Back in your box!

[muffled cheering]

[sniffling]

[sobbing]

[sighs]

[tourist] Help!
There's a kid in the crocodile pool!

- [crowd screaming]
- [gasping]

- [screaming]
- [snarling]

[screaming]

[man] Croc on the loose!

- [Chazzie] Daddy!
- Chazzie!

Jackie!

Help me! [screaming]

She's gonna eat me!

What? No! I just want to help.

Daddy! Ahh!

Oh no! Oh!

Ah! She's going for him!

[ominous music playing]

Get that monster away from my son!

[all gasp]

[screams, grunts]

Don't worry, love. Your dad's on his way.

Ahh!

[yelling] Ahh!

[siren wailing]

What's happening?
Why are there sirens? I hate sirens.

- Maybe the park's on fire.
- [gasps] Maybe Pretty Boy died.

Nah. I've seen the plans for his funeral.
There's a choir.

It's Jackie.

They thought she was attacking Chaz's son,
but she was just trying to help.

[Chaz] Put a muzzle on her!
Get her out of here!

- [grunting]
- Down! Down!

- Leave her alone!
- [banging on glass]

[grunts] She didn't do anything!
She was just trying to help! Jackie!

- Maddie.
- I've gotta get outta here. [pants]

- Let me out!
- Maddie!

[panting]

[breathes deeply]

I'll take a closer look, okay?

[dings]

[thunder rumbling]

[somber music playing]

Oh, Jackie.

[door closes]

[engine starts]

[music continues]

[thunder rumbling]

[sniffling]

[softly] No.

[lights shutting down]

[panting]

- [sniffles, whimpers]
- [footsteps approaching]

[gasps]

It wasn't my fault, Dad! Honest!
I was just trying to be like you.

Hey. I'm not mad at you, Chazzie.

You're... you're not?

It's never easy
seeing an animal get taken away like that.

Look, that croc had it coming.

I mean, these creatures are killers, son.
Never forget it.

I was so proud of you out there.

Not every kid can stare down the gullet
of a two-ton killing machine

and come away with dry daks.
That takes guts.

Thanks, Dad.

Now, how about a bedtime story?

Where were we?

Chapter four. [clears throat]

"How I Fought a Giant Python
and Lost Your Mother."

"The swamp was steamy
with the stench of death

as we began our honeymoon."

"I paddled the canoe upstream..."

[somber music playing]

Who's gonna tell us stories now?

[Frank] Um, Maddie?

Tell us about the mountains.

[somber music continues]

[Maddie] No.

Why not?

Because I'm done just talking about them.

I say we go out
and see them for ourselves.

- [all] What?
- Break out of here tonight.

- [whimpers]
- Are you nuts?

Those mountains are in the outback!
That's 500... 500... 1,500... nine miles away.

No, no, no. I can't leave my glass box.
The glass box is me.

- I'm the box. [hyperventilating]
- [Frank] Breathe, Nigel. Breathe.

[sighs]

Well, we're down to three.

Guys, listen to me.

I know it's scary,
but do you want to end up like Jackie?

Spend your whole lives
being put on display like freaks?

Because that's what
we are in here. Monsters.

But out there, we're someone's kid,
someone's brother, sister...

family.

[inspirational music playing]

- Out there, we can be...
- Dancers?

Ourselves.

Zoe, climb out and unlock our cases.

Tonight, we're going back to the outback.

I think we're gonna make it.

Don't say that! Every time
someone says that, something always...

- [clanging]
- Who's doing that?

Look!

[clanging continues]

[all] Pretty Boy?

- Hi, sorry. Do you mind not doing that?
- What?

[softly] We're trying to escape.
Someone might hear you.

- Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize.
- That's okay. Just...

- So you want me to stop doing this?
- Yes! Stop!

[yelling] Sorry!
Can't hear you over all this noise!

They'll see us!

Please!

We're just trying to get to the outback
so we can find our families.

[gasps] Oh.

Wow! That is so inspiring.

Families are
very important to me too. [laughs]

You're a snake!
You're not gonna get five yards.

And anyway, what kind of family

is gonna want
a bunch of ugly bugs like you?

[gasps] You're really mean.

But he's so adorable.

You're right. I should do it like this.

[cutesy voice] Over here, Mr. Policeman!

Some animals are trying to kill me!
I'm in distress. Koala in distress!

Stop that! Grab him!

Go ahead and try. Snakes can't climb.

- [yelps] Snakes can climb! Get away!
- [Maddie] Please be quiet!

Get your scaly mitts off me.
Let me go! Help!

Please! Please be quiet.

I can't die yet! I'm not even 27! He...

- [gurgling]
- [stinger pops out]

[Pretty Boy squeaking]

[gasps]

[gurgling]

Ahh!

- [all] Ahh!
- [thuds on ground]

Oh no! I killed Pretty Boy.
I've murdered a celebrity.

No, you didn't.
Your venom only knocks 'em out, Nigel.

He'll wake up in a minute.
He might have a headache.

Then we'll have to get him out of here.
Count of three. One, two, three!

[all] Whoa!

- [gasps]
- [Zoe grunts]

- [grunts]
- Ooh!

Oh, we're free! We're free!

I feel so liberated, so virile.

But we're not safe yet. Hurry.

- [Pretty Boy snoring]
- [sighs]

- Look at that.
- [Frank] Wow!

[Nigel] It's Jackie's mountains!

We made it!

[all] Yay!

- Um, uh, I think that's the city.
- [opera music playing]

- [sighs]
- Sorry, yeah, that makes more sense.

[chuckles] It felt too easy, right?
But we're on our way.

And somewhere beyond those lights
is the outback.

I hate to break it to you,

but there's a lot of water
between us and those lights.

And none of us know how to swim,
so how are we gonna...

- What's wrong with Frank?
- [Frank grunting]

- Frank, what are you doing?
- I dunno.

[spluttering] It's like
now that we're in the wild,

some kind of instinct's taken over.

[gasps] You mean...

Oh! Oh! I think it's a mating dance.

[grunting]

[disco music playing]

Okay, if he's gonna do that the whole way,
I'm taking the bus.

There's a bus?

- Guys, focus.
- [Frank blabbering]

We need to find a way across the harbor.

- Oh! Does anyone know a friendly turtle?
- Or we could find a raft.

That's exactly what I was gonna say.

What's a raft?

- Anything made of wood.
- [snoring]

What do we do with Satan's teddy bear?

[Maddie] Ugh, we have to take him with us,
or he'll sound the alarm again.

We can let him go when we get to the city.

I want my snuggly. Mmm.

Ugh! He's so furry and hot.

Come on.

[ship horn blowing]

Do you think you could've found a raft
that wasn't full of holes?

You said "made of wood."

Guys, guys, don't argue.
Look at us. We're on our way.

[chuckles] And check out the sky.
I've never seen the sky at night before.

- [Nigel] What are all those twinkly dots?
- I think they're called dandruff.

- "Dandruff"?
- Yeah.

You know that stuff that comes off humans
when they scratch their hair?

It floats up into the sky,
and it shines at night.

[Maddie and Nigel] Wow. Dandruff.

Oh, look,
what a pretty little sailing boat!

That's not a boat, Nigel. That's a...

[all] Shark!

Paddle! Paddle!

It's circling us.

[Zoe] Paddle in circles!

- [all] Ahh!
- [grunting]

What? What's going on?
Why is my bottom wet?

Are we getting colonics?

Just grab a leaf and paddle!

You koalanapped me, you psycho worm!

You snitched on us, you dirty little bear!

- Just you wait till...
- Bigger problems!

- [roaring]
- [all] Ahh!

[coughing]

Oh, sorry to scare you.
I get that reaction a lot.

It's the smile, isn't it?

You know, I took some acting classes,
did a few mime workshops.

But it's just not me, you know?

So I thought, "Hey,
stop trying to change who you are."

"Just be yourself, the face of death,

aka Jacinta."

- [mollusks] Hi!
- Ahh! [grunts]

Hey! Aren't you that snake
who can kill 100 people in ten seconds?

Oh. No, not really.

It's... it's more like 94, 95 tops.

But you've probably eaten
a lot more people than that, right?

Sorry. I don't know why I said that.
That was so inappropriate.

Nah, sounds about right.
Did you guys just escape from the park?

Yeah! How'd you know?

We get a lot of breakouts.
Last month, it was a dung beetle.

Duncan? I thought
he got released back into the wild.

The only place he got released was
into the belly of a seagull.

- [seagull cawing]
- Tragic. The one night I was off sick.

Ugh! Could you be any more self-obsessed?

Can everyone please focus on me for once?

Razor face, take me back to the park,
or I'll have your fins made into soup.

- "Razor face"?
- No, he didn't mean that.

And we're not going back to the park.
We're on our way to the outback.

Then you've come to the right place.
For I am... [whispers]...a secret agent.

Lethal and deadly.

- Designed to strike with stealth and...
- [all] Oh!

Sorry. Sorry.
Oh, now I'm making it worse, aren't I?

Oh, it's these tiny fins.
It's why I could never knit.

- I... I think we can just...
- No, no, no! No!

I really am an agent,
and I'm here to help.

See, I'm a member of... U.S.S.

- "Us"?
- No. U.S.S.

- "Ussss"?
- U.S.S.

- Ussss.
- Now you're doing too many. Just U.S.S.

- What?
- U.S.S., the Uglies Secret Society.

It's a gang
of sensitive, misunderstood animals.

In a world of cuddly koalas,
we are regarded as monsters.

Don't worry.
The U.S.S. has networks everywhere.

If you ever get into trouble,

just say the password,
and a member of U.S.S. will help.

- [whispering] What's the password?
- [whimpering]

[mollusks] Hey. "I'm ugly. You're ugly.
We should all be this ugly."

"Ugly is the new beautiful."

[all] What?

"I'm ugly. You're ugly.
We should all be this ugly."

"Ugly is the new beautiful."

- [all yelping]
- False alarm.

That's a really long password.

Yeah, um, I hate to rush.
I think we're sinking.

Oh, right! On it!

Let's get you guys
to the other side before the sun comes up.

That's when
the really scary creatures come out.

- What are they?
- [mollusks] Humans!

[man on radio] We need an urgent dispatch,
59372 at the Australian Wildlife Park...

Stone the crows, what's happened here?

[shoe squeaks]

They've gone, sir.

And look what they've done to Pretty Boy.

[gasps] Crikey!

[gasps] What are you gonna do, Dad?

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do, son.

I'm gonna go out there

and call Pest Control.

Pest Control?

- Aren't you gonna hunt 'em down yourself?
- Eh?

You know, like how you hunted those wolves
who ate those orphans?

Oh! Right. Yeah, yeah.
But well, they ate orphans, you know, so...

You said that snake
was the deadliest creature on the planet.

They're a menace to society, Dad,
and you're the only one who can stop 'em.

- [stomping feet]
- Please?

[inspirational music playing]

[sighs]

Pack your peashooter
and some clean undies, son.

[Chazzie, guards] Yay!

We got some deadly creatures to hunt.

Once you're through the city,
head for the Blue Mountains.

- They sound pretty. What kind of blue?
- Uh, kind of a smoky eucalyptus blue.

[Nigel] Like a cerulean or...

They're mountains, Nigel.
I'm sure we'll find them.

Thanks, Jacinta!

And remember, if you need help, contact...

[mollusks] U.S.S.

- Aw, what a sweetheart.
- [tires screeching]

- [horns blaring]
- [man] Hey, watch where you're going!

- [Zoe] A lot of humans.
- [Nigel] Maybe some of them are nice.

- They're gonna kill us.
- Right. Forgot that. Let's move on.

And I'd love to stay,

but I'm afraid I'm late
for my appointment with the real world.

Hey, watch it!

By the way,
you're never gonna get to the outback.

You should quit now before you get
your friends killed. [laughs]

- Later, losers!
- [scoffs] What a jerk!

We drank it all, but here.

[slurping, gulping]

- What is it?
- My urine.

[Chaz spitting]

I got the idea from that time
you were tracking those lions.

- What?
- You went ten days without food or water.

And you had to lie in manure
so the lions couldn't smell you.

Hey, maybe we should do that. Maybe...

- I never tracked a lion!
- [gasps]

Or rhinos. Or wolves.
Or even a package online!

But you grew up in the outback.

No, Chazzie.

[clears throat] I grew up
above my auntie's lingerie store...

[in American accent]...in Tampa, Florida.

But what happened to your voice?

This is my voice.

My real voice. Okay?

You see, son, when I was a kid,
I got picked on a lot by other kids.

[indistinct chatter on TV]

And then one day,

I saw this Australian guy
on TV wrestling a crocodile.

And he sounded so cool, you know?

[Australian hero on TV] Holy smokes!
Danger, danger, danger!

[Chaz] So I started talking like him,

and suddenly,
I wasn't nerdy Charlie Huntington anymore.

I was...

[in Australian accent]
Chaz Hunt, you know? Outback legend.

People respected me.

I grew a mustache.

I moved out here
and made up all that other stuff.

So then Mum...

Wasn't swallowed by a giant python.

She ran off
with a landscape architect called Bret.

And all that stuff you say in your show
about how bad these animals are?

Did you just make all that up too?

No, no, no, no. I meant every word of it.

These creatures are evil,
and I'm glad we're hunting them.

I realize that now but...

This is my chance
to make up for all the lies,

to be the hero you deserve.

And I'm not gonna let you down again, son!

We're gonna finish what we started,
no matter how hard it gets.

We'll face danger. We'll face death.
We'll drink each other's urine.

I dunno, Dad.

Maybe we should just go home
and play some video games.

I'll raise an army if I have to!

But I'm gonna catch those freaks
and show the world who I really am,

a rugged, semi-Australian man!

Maybe you should put some pants on first.

It's not working!

[female voice] These days,
it's about the venom.

Kids just want deadly.

Back when Deirdre and I joined
the Uglies Secret Society,

being ugly was something to be proud of.

Now it's just a popularity contest.
I heard they let a platypus in.

Am I cute? Am I ugly?
Am I a duck? Am I a beaver? It's just...

We are small and insignificant.

It makes me wonder if I'm a god.

Seriously, doesn't that cluster

It makes me miss Jackie.

She would've loved seeing all this.

Must be cool having something

You don't remember anything about yours?

Nah. She got hit by a car
just after I was born.

Oh. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, me too.

But then a lot of nice people
started looking after me.

Even Chaz. I mean, I know he's a bonehead
and a total psycho,

but I don't know, he was okay.

To you maybe. Not to me.

Well, and don't take this the wrong way,
but you are extremely murderous.

- [scoffs] What?
- I'm just sayin'.

You don't understand.

Chaz was the first person I saw
when I was born.

I thought that meant something.
I thought he cared about me.

But all he saw was
another monster for his show.

[somber music playing]

[breathes deeply]

But that's all in the past.

There's a whole new life waiting for us.

A life we've only seen in our dreams.

[inspirational music playing]

I'm starting to think
you don't entirely suck.

[chuckles] Thanks, PB.

Neither do you.

Are we becoming friends now?

Uh, well, we've been on a road trip.

You've seen me go three weeks
without a mani-pedi.

It seems like the logical next step.

[laughs]

Aw, look!

Falling dandruff.

[music continues]

[Maddie chuckling] What's the first thing
you're gonna do when we get there?

I'm gonna build a clubhouse
where we can all meet.

Forget that. I'm gonna find a girlfriend.

- What about you? What are you gonna do?
- I dunno really.

This is the first time in my life
I haven't been in the spotlight.

I just wanna have
some authentic conversations,

do a bit of yoga, maybe some meditation.

Just really shed the veneer
of superficiality of fame and beauty and...

[gasps]

Mmm. [giggling]

Pretty people!

Right. I guess you wanna walk...

Wait! Wait! PB!

Isn't there something you're forgetting?

Oh my gosh! I'm such a fool.

Ah, I knew you wouldn't just...

[Frank] Oh.

Whoa!

- Seriously?
- Eh.

- [Zoe grunting]
- So that's it? You're leaving?

- Oops.
- [grunts]

Fine! Good riddance!

[all sigh]

Ugh, boy. [chuckles]
So glad he's gone, right?

Did he seem kinda clingy to you?

Not really.

Yeah, no, he was definitely clingy.

I mean, he hides it,
but he is gonna miss me.

I mean, us.
He is gonna... he's gonna miss us.

It's okay if you miss him too, Maddie.

[laughs] Are you kidding?

You know that he's actually a marsupial?
Not even a bear.

[laughing] Ridiculous! [snorts]

Now let's find those mountains. [chuckles]

Almost there.

[adventurous music playing]

I can feel it.

I can smell it.

It smells like... home.

[Nigel] Everyone, look!
It's the mountains Jackie told us about!

[Zoe] They're so big.

[Frank] And mountainy.

And burnt sienna-y.

[chuckling] What are we waiting for?

Last one in's a deadly,
disgusting, venomous creature! Whoo-hoo!

[Frank] Wow! Feel that sand, guys.
That's genuine outback sand.

And the rocks aren't plastic.

Oh.

Do you think they know
we're from the city?

I love what you've done to the place.
The colors are so organic and textural.

[scoffs] They do now.

Ugh. Nice one, Nigel.
You scared away the welcoming committee.

I don't think that was Nigel.

Where's Maddie?

Everyone, spread out.

Let's go!

At least we tried, right?

[music continues]

[dramatic music playing]

No!

No, wait!

Bring them back!

[sobbing]

Help me!

Please!

We have to go after them.

- [all gasp]
- No. It looks way too scary out there.

But you're supposed to be our families.
You're the reason we came all this way.

Sorry, love,
but none of us have ever left before.

Then it's about time you did!

Yeah! And if you don't help us,
we'll rip you apart

and turn you into a pair of shoes!

- Pretty Boy?
- Not a nice pair of shoes either.

The cheap, nasty kind!

Yeah, I'm talking to you, brown snake!
Don't you turn your backs on...

They turned their backs.
Yep, they're definitely gone.

I should've kept my mouth shut, right?

What are you doing here?
Why aren't you with the other koalas?

Yeah, nah, that...
Yeah, that didn't really work out.

Just wasn't what I thought
it was going to be.

She's my best friend, but did you see
how many gumnuts she ate?

Sorry. That is not fur. That is fat.
We need to kick her out of the tree.

Be honest. Do you think
koalas can be a little bit shallow?

- Um...
- I don't belong with them.

In fact, it kinda feels like
the only place I do belong is... with you.

Really?

[chuckling] Yeah. How messed up is that?

And seriously, M,
I leave you alone for two minutes,

and you let the guys get captured.
What the...

I know. I know.
I should never have brought them out here.

[breathes deeply, sniffles]

What are we gonna do?

Get them back, of course.

On our own?

Why not? We are, after all, U.S.S.

- Us?
- No, U.S.S.

The Uglies Secret Society?

I don't know.
Maybe it's time we changed that name.

How does
the Unique and Special Society sound?

- Sounds like U.S.S.
- [clicks tongue]

Aw, PB!

- Oh no. Hang on.
- Is that right?

- Right, okay.
- [muffled speech]

- Now, maybe if you go...
- How's that?

You're kinda choking me now.

- [chuckles]
- [grunts] Okay.

[gentle music playing]

Now let's go get our friends back.

[Pretty Boy] Remember, if anyone asks,

we're stunt animals on Mad Max,
and we're looking for hair and makeup.

Sure, we can. It's just a loan.

- [Maddie] For what?
- Taking you away from your family.

Guys, you didn't take me away
from my family.

You brought me back to them.
You're my family.

- All of you.
- All of us what? What did I miss?

- I love you guys.
- Aw, that's sweet.

And I'm never leaving you again.

"At least I don't have nits,"

and I'm like, "As if!" And then... Wait.

This is so not Keisha's birthday party.
Anyway...

Seriously. I feel sorry for her.
She used to be nice,

and then we became friends, except...
This is gross!
