Chicken Run (2000) Edit

A beaut. A fine piece of work.

A cannon.

A cling on!

A group of desperate chickens. lf it's you,

A lovely necklace and pendant.

A pleasure doing business with you.

A problem?

A proper squadron work together,

A very brave and honorable deed.

Absolutely outrageous!

After you, Fetcher.

Agnes, that has to be really secure.

Ah, boy.

All of my life flashed before my eyes.

All of them!

All of you? l've been trying to tell you. Let's get it straight.

All part of the process. Don't worry. You cheesy little ...

All the beautiful English chicks, of course.

And better still, he's going to fly for us tomorrow.

And catch Jerry with his trousers down!

And grass. Can you imagine that?

And he's a Yank! Cockfighting's illegal where l come from.

And into full scale automated production.

And it's brown and prickly. See what l'm saying?

And l doubt it's softer than hay.

And l salute you.

And look at that hill, imagining what it's like on the other side.

And minuscule profits. No eggs?

And point me where the wind blows.

And right, two, three.

And stop right there.

And that Bunty. She really packs a pun.

And then you get there,

And they're not organized!

And this is for coming back.

And we ...

And we're the chickens.

And what will you give us?

And wind her up, and

And with a non commissioned Yank, no less!

Anyway, here it is.

Apples and oranges. l'm gifted, they're not.

Are those the only choices? Let's do it!

Are we still on? We're on, all right.

Are we worried?

Asking a senior officer to share his quarters.

Attack!

Attention!

Babs, manufacturing.

Babs, please! Bunty.

Babs! Scissors!

Back from holiday? l wasn't on holiday.

Back in my RAF days ... Fowler, they're coming.

Back in my RAF days, when an officer called for a scramble,

Back up and start from the top. Where am l?

Beautifully built. ln fact, there's a bit of a story there.

Because it takes twice as much hard work as perseverance.

Because l won't hear another word about it. ls that clear?

Because l'm cute?

Behind you all the way.

Besides, it can't be that hard to bust out of here.

Beware of that one, young Ginger.

Birds of a feather flop together.

Bloomin' heck! They've got Ginger!

Bombs away!

Bunty, give him a hand. Well done, Babs. Keep it up!

Bunty, what's got into you?

But back in your day ... the Royal Air Force.

But couldn't get into it. Hi. How are you?

But if we could see it for ourselves it might answer some questions.

But l saw him! He flew in over that fence!

But l've been calculating. l don't think we're built for flying.

But Mac and l have a new plan.

But she isn't taken to the chop. Extra food.

But she's not ready. Listen!

But the ginger one!

But where'd the egg come from?

But you need an egg to have a chicken.

Bye.

Careful of those eggs!

Careful up there, Fowler!

Carry on.

Catchy, ain't it?

Cheers, mate.

Chicken feed!

Chicken pies. Not apple pies.

Chicken!

Chickens go in,

Chocks away!

Clear the runway!

Cleared for takeoff!

Cocktail!

Cocky Yanks think they know it all.

Codswallop!

Come on, flap!

Come on!

Comfortable? Not really.

Company, attention!

Connecting the radius to the humerus. l wrapped it.

Cool, green grass.

Couldn't agree more. And I will be leaving. That way.

D'oh! Get it?

Definitely scrambled.

Did you see that? l flew!

Discipline in the ranks! What! What!

Discipline! Order!

Do you suppose? Absolutely!

Doesn't know about. Then l hope you never care about me.

Doesn't know about. Then l hope you never care about me.

Don't be ridiculous. l can't fly this contraption.

Don't mention death!

Don't push me, four eyes!

Don't push me, four eyes!

Don't you see? They're fattening us up.

Don't. Stop it. l've gone bright red.

Double their food rations.

Dough. l'm stuck!

Eggs from heaven! No, from her bum.

Eggs?

Eggs? You promised them ...

El merchandiso! That's Spanish.

Everyone, shut up!

Face it. The only way we get out is wrapped in pastry.

Face the facts, ducks.

Fancy that, they're coming.

Farmer's coming!

Faster.

Finally, something we agree on.

Fire! Fire!

Flies around giving demonstrations.

Flipping hell. Look at this. They're going to kill themselves.

Fly over there. Save her.

Flying and thrust.

Flying takes three things: hard work,

For flapping about like a lunatic.

For retaliation! Retaliation! What's going on?

For saving my life.

Forgive me. As an officer ...

Fowler is chief aviation adviser.

Freedom!

From a chicken ... that comes from the egg.

From your infernal knitting!

Full throttle!

Funny. Over here the rule is: Always tell the truth!

Get back!

Get me a chicken, and l'll show you.

Get out!

Get the chickens.

Ginger.

Gitface. Pillock.

Give it a rest, Pops!

Give me that thing. Bunty, give me a boost.

Give over!

Give over!

Go in. Pies come out. What kind of pies?

Go, go!

Good grief! The turnip's bought it.

Good heavens, no. l'm a chicken.

Good heavens!

Good night,

Good night, Rocky.

Good things come to those who wait.

Gorgeous, isn't she? You mean, you flew? ln one of these?

Gotcha!

Grass! Exactly. lt's always greener on the other side.

Great Scott! What was that?

Great! Brilliant!

Guys!

Hard right!

Have we flown over the fence? Not quite. There's a problem.

He gets everything. Everything. You said it, mate! l know.

He isn't anywhere. Don't you get it?

He's fixed it.

He's valuable, you say?

Heaven help us.

Heavy alert!

Help!

Here she is. Ask and you shall receive.

Here we go again.

Here's a thought.

Here's our way out!

Hey, cut it out! You're making me dizzy.

Hey, hey. You crazy chick!

Hide me! Come on.

His eyes are too close together.

His father and their fathers. They were always ...

How about that? Fantastic!

How about this quality tea set?

How dare you talk back to a senior ranking officer!

How dare you!

How have l?

How long did it take you? To do what? To learn to fly.

How many more empty nests will it take?

How rude of us. We're just excited ... This is a chicken farm.

How's that egg coming?

How's that egg coming?

How's the egg count? l laid 5 eggs today.

If I don't see some results by tomorrow, the deal is off and you're on your own.

In the ranks. Just what Jerry wants. The old divide and conquer.

Is their leader.

It has wide open spaces and lots of trees.

It's what makes the job all worthwhile.

Jocko at the stick, Flappy at the map, and Whizzbang at the tail end Charlie.

Just go with the flow.

Just keep the faith ... Agnes. You'll get there.

Just like we did in my RAF days.

Just Mrs.? Woman's touch. Makes the public feel comfortable.

Just what they'd expect. Give them the old element of surprise!

Keep it down! l'm trying to lay low here.

Keep over, you old fool. They just want to count us.

Know what they call me back home?

Know what your problem is? You're ... difficult.

L await tomorrow's flying demonstration with great anticipation.

L believe you,

L can't work miracles.

L care about them. Something the Lone Free Ranger

L care about them. Something the Lone Free Ranger

L didn't get a word of that.

L didn't lie, dollface. l just omitted certain truths.

L didn't think you cared, but after all this ...

L don't know would suffice.

L don't know, luv. Just deal with it. Now!

L don't like gravy.

L don't like his look.

L don't like you. l don't care.

L don't recall authorizing a hop.

L don't see what it has to do with ... You will.

L don't see what it has to do with ... You will.

L don't want to be a pie!

L dutifully admit that l misjudged your character.

L flew!

L got my own set of problems.

L hate to be the voice of doom,

L haven't laid any eggs.

L just wanted to say, l may have been a bit harsh at first ...

L knew it was possible. lt's possible!

L like that. What's the plan?

L made the bandage. l carried you in.

L may have found a way to make some real money.

L might think you're turning soft.

L never will. Good. Fine.

L owe you an apology.

L present you with this medal for bravery.

L say so myself, too. Wish l'd seen it.

L should turn you in right now. You wouldn't.

L surrender the bunk entirely.

L thought you were going to teach us to fly.

L want them all as fat as this one.

L was in solitary confinement.

L went over my calculations. What we're missing is thrust.

L would like to call to order ... Quiet!

L'll be down before you can say ...

L'll give them what l promised. Nothing. Which they'll get.

L'll put it together, shall l?

L'll show you how to play cricket.

L'll teach you to make a fool out of me.

L'm a Lone Free Ranger. Emphasis on free.

L'm a traveler. l did that barnyard thing for a while,

L'm brewing one up now. l'll keep you posted.

L'm coming! Hurry!

L'm rambling on about grass, and you had something to say.

L'm sick and tired of making minuscule profits.

L'm stuck.

L'm trying to enjoy paradise.

L've got a score to settle with you.

L've met some hard boiled eggs before, but you're about 20 minutes.

L've never actually felt grass beneath my feet. l'm sorry.

Ladies and gentlemen, you've been a wonderful audience.

Ladies, let's not lose our heads.

Ldiot!

Left right ...

Let go!

Let her go!

Let that be a lesson to you!

Let's flap.

Let's get an egg and start our own chicken farm.

Let's go!

Let's rock 'n roll.

Let's see if old Attila the Hen has come to her senses.

Lf his wing were better ... l'll talk to him.

Life, as l've experienced it, out there

Like a duck. No, thank you.

Like a fish?

Listen here, sister. l'm not going back to that life.

Listen! You hear that?

Listen. l have to tell you something.

Little moments like this ...

Ln all my life l've never heard such a fantastic

Ln America we have a rule: To motivate someone,

Ln fact, l'm not even sure if he was American.

Ln here! Get out of here now!

Ln honor of this occasion,

Ln less than a fortnight, every grocer will be stocked with boxes

Ln the light of your action today,

Ln the likely event of an emergency, put your head between your knees ...

Lncrease velocity!

Load of tripe!

Look at him! Nellpodging around like a ...

Look at the size of that thing.

Look out!

Look out.

Look what Babs made me. A beak warmer. lsn't that cute?

Look, l'm going with it!

Look. l fixed it.

Lower me down. But ... Just do it.

Lower! l'm trying!

Ls Edwina off on holiday?

Ls it as good as you imagined? No.

Ls that your first of fence?

Lsn't that great?

Lsn't there usually some flapping involved?

Lt was really boring.

Lt's a cruel world, dollface. Better get used to it.

Lt's a living.

Lt's all in your head, Mr. Tweedy. Say it.

Lt's all in your head.

Lt's all in your head.

Lt's been working like a charm.

Lt's better.

Lt's full of disappointments.

Lt's funny ...

Lt's like an oven in here.

Lt's nice to get a bit of time to yourself, isn't it?

Lt's not so hard for a chicken or two to get out, but it's about all of us.

Lt's raining hen!

Mac,

Mac! We need the calculations quick.

Madame, you look like a vision, like a dream.

Make little circles.

Maybe she should have spent more time laying eggs

Maybe this will help.

Meaning what? Meaning, lighten up.

Melisha Tweedy will be poor no longer.

Mixed vegetables?

More ammo! Hurry!

Morning, Ginger.

Move!

Mr. Rhodes, please!

Mr. Rhodes? Perhaps l didn't explain our situation properly.

Mr. Tweedy,

Mr. Tweedy!

My eggs!

My favorite.

My name's Rocky, the Rhode lsland Red. Rhodes for short.

Nice hideout. l had more room in my egg.

Nice plan.

No chicken escapes from Tweedy's farm!

No coops and keys and no fences!

No egg count, no farmers, no dogs,

No more hiding. The farmers'll find you and back to the circus, fly boy.

No problem, dollface.

No, not in there!

No, wait!

No! America.

No! You'd better wait.

No. Without the chicken where do you get the egg?

Nope!

Nothing to it.

Now over easy.

Now see here! This is an officer's quarters!

Now this will get you going. lt's a thrust exercise.

Now you keep telling yourself that,

Now!

Obviously, he's a professional flying rooster.

Of course! No!

Of course. You're certifiable.

Of Mrs. Tweedy's Homemade Chicken Pies.

Oh no.

Oh no.

Oh yes. Who'd have guessed?

Oh, gnomes now!

Oh, mother.

Oh, no!

Oh, no! They're onto me!

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, right. How does it work?

Oh, that's the spot!

Oh, were you ...? ls this your ...?

Oh, yeah. Don't worry. l'll teach you everything l know.

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. Of course l have.

Okay, Fowler. Ready for takeoff.

Okay, where's the exit? This way.

One egg per item on the list.

One isn't awarded a medal

Only roosters don't lay eggs, do they?

Operation Cover Up!

Or this number. All the rage in the fashionable Paris chicken coops.

Our last escape attempt was a bit of a fiasco,

Over here.

Over it.

Over. Right.

Overpaid, oversexed and over here.

Pain is your friend.

Perfect, guys.

Perhaps he just went on holiday. Perhaps he left to get away

Perseverance and

Pies come out.

Pip, pip. Quick march.

Please!

Poor! Worthless! Nothings!

Poppycock!

Poultry in motion.

Pulsing through your body?

Pushy Americans. Always showing up late for every war.

Put the ramp down!

Put your drumsticks into it.

Quiet, everyone.

Quiet, l say! Dissention

Quiet, l say! Let's have some discipline!

Quiet!

Quiet! That ginger one

Quiet. l'm onto something.

Really? l can't help feeling we're going around in circles.

Relax. We're making progress.

Release!

Remember those flying tips.

Right, right!

Right.

Right. Like the ones the rooster was going to lay.

Rocky Rhodes!

Rocky? Knock, knock.

Roger! Contact!

Roll call!

Roll call! Come along. You'll be late for parade.

Rolling along happily, then crack! lt hatches the first chicken.

Same thing that's got into you.

Scotland!

Scramble!

Settle down.

She ain't using real words.

She didn't tell anyone.

She said we need more thrust. Thrust!

Shoot!

Show them, Mac. We tried going under that wire, and it didn't work.

Show us how to fly. With this wing? Teach us, then.

Shut up and dance.

Simply pop it on, and as the French say: Voila!

Since you're here ... l'm glad you're here ...

Sleep tight, angel face. The Rock's on the case.

So ...

So anyway ...

So are we.

So don't worry. Tomorrow everything is going to go much smoother.

So grass isn't all it's cracked up to be?

So that's it. You're from the circus.

So the plan is: we go

So you want to fly, huh?

So, how about the eggs?

So, you know each other! She don't think we're valuable.

Solid as a rock.

Something is wrong here. Can't you see that?

Somewhere beyond that hill,

Spread the word, Mac. Meeting tonight in Hut 17.

Start warming up. l'll go get him.

Stop it!

Stop it! Wait!

Stop!

Strange boxes arrive. Babs stops laying,

Stupid, worthless creatures!

Sucker.

Sunny side up.

Sure. Get the torch.

Sure. Thrust and flying are like this.

Teach us to fly. We'll hide you. And if l don't?

Thank you

Thank you, Fowler. ln my RAF days, we never wasted time

That doesn't sound good.

That is French.

That isn't good. Whatever's in those boxes is for us.

That was close. Too close.

That was good! That was good!

That Yank is our ticket out of here.

That'd give you a thrust. l knew he was fake all along.

That's biblical. That's real craftsmanship.

That's called a beat. Feel it

That's champion ... What is it?

That's for leaving.

That's how you get medals!

That's what l told them. We were losing altitude, heading for ...

That's where the chicken comes from.

The answer had to come! Amen!

The chance of us getting out are a million to one.

The chickens are ...

The chickens are revolting!

The circus! Quick! Hide me!

The door! Come on!

The egg, obviously.

The enemy has a prisoner. This calls

The engines can't take it!

The exits are located here and here.

The fences aren't just around the farm.

The ground's shaking. Are we worried?

The open road is more my style. Put a pack on my back

The pain you're feeling is a good thing.

The plan ...

The plan ... Babs!

The Royal Air Force doesn't let chickens fly a complex aircraft!

The tension's killing me. lt's gonna kill her.

The wing!

Then call me a miracle, dollface, 'cause that's me.

Then getting plucked and roasted is good enough for you?

Then go with it, baby!

Then there's still a chance!

Then what's the old crate?

Then you get the chicken.

There is a better place out there.

There is no farm. Then where does the farmer live?

There is no farmer. ls he on holiday?

There she is!

There'll be a reprimand, lad. You're grounded.

They didn't give me this medal for being a Yank nanny.

They don't plot, they don't scheme,

They got Ginger. They're taking her to the chop!

They're all the same. The rats are the stars.

They're chickens, you dolt! Apart from you,

They're coming! Hide me!

They're going to kill us all!

They're organized.

They're swell chicks.

They're the most stupid creatures on the planet!

They're up here in your heads.

They're very important. And think flighty thoughts.

Thieving little buggers.

Think, everyone. What haven't we tried yet?

Thinks he's such a big shot, 'cause his name's on a poster.

This is a big job, Miss. Bigger than the others.

This is a double yolker.

This is our future, Mr. Tweedy.

This is us, right? We get in like this

This will cost. The usual: one bag of seed.

This will take Tweedy's farm out of the Dark Ages

Three days, not one.

Thrust.

Thrust. When ducks and geese take off, what do they have?

Time to make good on that deal, dollface. The name is Ginger.

To lay the first egg. Have we got 2 eggs now? No, still the first egg.

Today's the day, girls. We're going to fly. l can feel it.

Turn her around. l'll get the ramp.

Turn it off! lt won't turn off!

Under the hut!

Up and at 'em!

Wait!

Wait!

Want to dance?

Want to watch? All right.

Was that English? She fixed your wing.

Was your father by any chance a vulture?

Watch me.

We can't stop now. Everyone, go for it.

We can't. Our eggs are too valuable.

We did it, everyone!

We either die free chickens or die trying.

We feed ourselves. Where's the farm?

We haven't tried not trying to escape.

We held up our end of it. Tomorrow you hold up yours.

We lay eggs, day in, day out.

We may be able to pull this off.

We mustn't panic! We mustn't panic!

We need more things. Right you are, Miss.

We slipped into the farmer's room. Like a fish.

We were on a reconnaissance flight, when the weather duffed up.

We'll fly over that fence, and Mr. Rhodes will show us how. Right?

We'll have all the eggs we can eat. Right.

We'll make a crate.

We'll need a chicken then. No, an egg first.

We're all gonna die. Fowler, you have to fly it.

We're escaping!

We're flying!

We're givin' her all she's got!

We're making this. We need this. Can you get it?

We're still flying out of here.

We've already tried going under.

We've always been egg farmers. My father,

We've been working hard. Let's relax and shake those tail feathers.

We've got to get out of here.

Welcome back, hen. ls there a new plan?

Well chuffed with that, l was.

Well, it ain't going to be easy. And it ain't going to happen overnight.

Well, it seems l was wrong.

Well, today is your day.

What about the first chicken? lt's in the very first egg.

What are you doing?

What are you on about? Ridiculous notions of escaping chickens.

What are you sobbing about, you nancy?

What are you waiting for, laddie?

What brings you to England, Mr. Rhodes?

What could we give you? Eggs.

What deal? Flying.

What do you mean?

What do you mean? Egg comes rolling along happily and wonders,

What exactly is the RAF?

What is that chicken doing outside the fence?

What l meant was, Rocky sabotaged the machine and bought us more time.

What l really mean is ...

What l'm trying to say is ...

What the dickens?

What? You lied to them.

What? l shall have you on charges within the week!

What? Now?

What? What?

What're these two crooks doing here?

What's all this?

What's all this?

What's on the posters, Babs? We'll fly out.

What's that mean? Pedal your flippin' giblets out!

What's the next plan?

What's the next plan?

What's the plan?

What's this caper, luv? We're flying. Obviously.

When can we expect the first one?

When we can't lay any more, they kill us.

Where are you?

Where is he?

Where is that? A place l call home of the free, land of the brave.

Where'd it come from without a chicken? No eggs come rolling along.

Which bunk is mine?

Which means, you do everything l tell you.

Which ones?

Which part of they kill us don't you understand?

Which we're running out of. Why haven't we lifted off yet? Thrust.

Who am l fooling? l can't lead this bunch of ...

Who are you? Where am l? What happened to my wing?

Who feeds us?

Who wants to know?

Why didn't you tell us? l was so busy flying ...

Why, back in my day ...

Why? Because l'm honest?

Will you excuse us?

Will you shut up about your stupid bloomin' medals!

Wind her up and let her go.

Wing Commander T.l.Fowler, reporting for duty.

Wingco would give the call, hop in the old crate, chocks away!

With unnecessary chitchat. Yes, thank you, Fowler.

With you so far. Chicken farm, chickens.

Without an egg to hatch the chicken there'll be no chicken

Would you? Why not?

Yeah, all right.

Yeah, four feet. From the roof to the ground.

Yeah, so it seems.

Yep, l promised them every egg l lay this month.

Yes ... of course.

Yes, down.

Yes, luv.

Yo! Baby doll!

You always hit him. See how you like it.

You always talk about back in your day.

You are going to be a pie.

You call this pay? lt's chicken feed.

You called?

You can do it, you old sausage.

You can do it, you old sausage.

You can do it. Flap!

You can fly for us tomorrow.

You can teach us. No, l can't.

You can't pull that off. Where there's a will, there's a way.

You can't see paradise if you don't pedal.

You flew four feet today.

You got to get the chicken first to get the egg.

You guys are

You know what'll happen if he finds me? lt's a cruel world.

You know, l come up here every night

You know, that hill is looking closer tonight than it ever has before.

You may be the answer to our prayers.

You mean you never flew the plane?

You okay, sweetheart? Good, good.

You stupid idiot!

You took a nasty fall. Spraining the anterior tendon

You want to get every chicken out of here at once?

You weren't exactly my first choice either.

You'd hop in the old crate and chocks away!

You'll handle engineering.

You'll love this. The Lone Free Ranger.

You're on the run, aren't you?

You're right. We've been at this all week. We're getting nowhere.

You're supposed to be up there. You're the pilot!

You're the first chick l ever met with the shell still on.

You're welcome.

Your side of the bunk? The whole bunk is my side!

Your wing! lt's better!

644 Squadron, poultry division. We were the mascots.

... and kiss your bum goodbye.

... pecking?
