Jake: (yelling) What is going on?
James: I accidentally spilled John's Magnesium Chloride into the potion.
John: (in annoyance) Aw, great, perfect, absolutely perfect, it'll take a week for me to clean up this mess, 20 more deaths this week.
Jake: Shame on you, James, Thanks to you, the poor animals out in Central Park are going to starve to death. You've done another thing wrong, for the 6th time since you were born. (asking himself & James) I can't tell which is worse, last time or this time.

Scene II: Flashback: Penguin Habitat (Interior)
James is playing solitaire on his laptop, Jake walks into the room
Jake: Alright, boys, Me & John are going to deactivate the Penguin Network.
James: (gasps) But, Jake, Why are you disabling the Network, All of our computers need it to be able to access all of our plans, games & other stuff
Jake: I know that, You just named one reason why its being disabled, those plans are dangerous, If the Network returns to its original state, those plans could be used against us, it would be chaos, That's why we're locking it down, The only computer that can operate alone without the Network is John's planning computer. We'll also need to disable the War Operation Plan Response computer along with the Network.
