• Eugene : [offscreen; Interrupting the start of the Terribly Deep Thinkers' signing of the "Lost at Sea" document]  Wait!

  [Eugene comes in as the penguin crowd is gasping and murmuring] 

  Eugene : I wish to say a few words of remembrance.

  King Calvin : Proceed, fool

  Agonysia : Oh! Do be brief

  Eugene : Most of you knew Princess Crystal as future queen. But she was also my best friend.

  [Crystal's maids and Philip crys, as with the rest of the crowd] 

• [Pup leads every penguin in Royal Rookery Rock to follow to where the Princesses are]

  Princess Lucinda : Father!

  King Calvin : Lucinda!

  Queen Penelope : Crystal!

  Princess Crystal : Eugene!

  [the Deep Thinkers stops and turns around toward the crowd. Agonysia drops the "Lost at Sea" document] 

• [King Calvin is stammering] 

  Queen Penelope : Cal, why don't you cool off in an ice-cold bath?

  King Calvin : Uh, try to get some rest then, hmm?

  Princess Crystal : [Offscreen in bed; Calvin exits her room]  Good night, Dad.

  [Cut to her onscreen] 

  Princess Crystal : [to Penelope]  Do you believe me, Mom?

  [Door opens & closes offscreen, as she continues] 

  Princess Crystal : About Santa Claus?

  Queen Penelope : I believe that you believe.

  [Crystal sighs] 

  Queen Penelope : Oh, there, there. Things will look brighter in the morning. They always do.

  [Penelope kiss Crystal in her left cheek and slowly exits her room. Crystal feels sad about what the Terribly Deep Thinkers had recently did] 

• King Calvin : Hmm. What's on your great minds today, Deep Thinkers?

  Derridommis : Oh, nothing less than the future of the colony, Your Highnesses.

• Agonysia : [offscreen]  Your Majesties, we, the Terribly Deep Thinkers,

  Agonysia : feel your pain.

  Derridommis : Unpleasant circumstances aside, the colony...

  Derridommis : [offscreeen]  ... requires a new sucessor.

  Mortmottimes : [Rolls out document]  This document legally declares your daughters... lost at sea.

  Agonysia : And we, the new heirs to the throne.

  Derridommis : A secure future makes a pleasant present.

  Mortmottimes : [Cackles]  Sign on the dotted line.

  [Agonysia takes a feather out of Mortmottimes to use as a quail. As she presents it to Queen Penelope, Penelope sobs at the missing Princesses. During the process, Phillip watches aside from them] 

  King Calvin : No! They're still out there... somewhere. I can feel it in my heart.

  Agonysia : Mmm, take another week to mourn.

  Mortmottimes : We'll be back.

• Agonysia : It breaks our hearts too, Your Majesty, but the facts speak for themselves. Derridommis?

  Derridommis : Fact: Princess Crystal is hardly the proper penguin princess.

  Mortmottimes : She consorts with a common fool.

  Derridommis : She doesn't swim with the flock.

  Mortmottimes : She can't swim at all.

  Agonysia : She waddles alone.

  Mortmottimes : She agitates the children with subversive stories.

  Derridommis : She's a rebel.

  Queen Penelope : But these are only opinions disguised as facts.

  [Agonysia gasps] 

  Queen Penelope : Don't you see? All you've done is prove that Crystal waddles to the best of her own drummer, just like her father. Is that against penguin law?

  King Calvin : [Chuckles]  I hope not, or I'd rotting away in the dungeon, wouldn't I?

  Agonysia : Perhaps maternal instincts have impaired Her Majesty's objectivity.

  Queen Penelope : Crystal is future queen, Lady Agonysia, and that is that.

• [from trailer] 

  Female Narrator : Princess Crystal is heir to the throne.

  King Calvin : First hatch inherits the crown.

  [the penguin crowd of Royal Rookery Rock cheers to Crystal] 

  Female Narrator : Her sister Lucinda... is not.

  Princess Lucinda : O-oooo-oh. I should be future queen. Everyone knows,

  Princess Lucinda : [hits beach ball]  I'm the better bird.

• King Calvin , Queen Penelope , Agonysia , Mortmottimes , Derridommis , Eugene , Phillip , The Wing Maidens , The Crowd of Royal Rookery Rock : [together]  Happy hatchday to you / Happy hatchday to you / You're looking real swell / Since you shattered your shell / Happy Ha-aaa-atchday to yo-oooo-ou

• Princess Crystal : [sighs]  No one who cares about knowledge would burn those wonderful scrolls.

  King Calvin : [Stammers]  That's what you're upset about.

  King Calvin : [Stammers]  What about the bright future you threw away?

  King Calvin : [Stammers]  And over what? Santa Claus indeed!

  King Calvin : [sighs]  One tries to be a good father.

  Princess Crystal : You were the best father. You taught me not to lie, and I didn't.

• Queen Penelope : [to her King]  Do something.

  King Calvin : Oh, as King...

  King Calvin : [Clears throat]  um, well, I have the right, um...

  King Calvin : [Clears throat]  That is, I believe I have the right to dismiss, all charges, and, grant a pardon.

  Queen Penelope : You do.

  King Calvin : I shall then, uh, grant a pardon, if Crystal simply admits her mistake.

  Princess Crystal : But Father.

  King Calvin : [Minmicks Crystal]  "I'm sorry. I was wrong. There is no Santa Claus."

  King Calvin : Just say it.

  [Crystal looks at the Wing Maidens, and she told the truth] 

• Baby Princess Lucinda : [the second penguin baby is growling at Baby Princess Crystal, the "future queen"]  Grrr...!

  King Calvin : Oh, and you my dear, shall be Lucinda.

  Narrator : [Chuckles; grabs her]  Last but not least.

  King Calvin : Little Lucinda turned many shades of green, but only first-hatched could be the future queen.

  Baby Princess Lucinda : [Blows a raspberry at Baby Crystal]  Phffft.

  Baby Princess Crystal : [Giggles at Baby Lucy]  Ha, ha, ha ha.

• Baby Princess Crystal : [Penelope picks up a just-hatched baby]  Mama. Mama.

  King Calvin : Oh. She has your beak, Penelope

  Queen Penelope : We shall call her, Crystal.

  Mortmottimes : Pistol? Why-why-why, that's no name for a future queen. Isn't that ridiculous?

  Agonysia , Derridommis : Crystal!

• King Calvin : First hatched inherits the crown. It's penguin law.
