*enter Susan to a sick Caleb bearing vis soup, an egg is seen rapped in blankets volgende to Caleb*
Susan: "Here eat this. u need to keep your strength up."
Caleb: "Susan, we both know I'm dying. I can feel it. My mother had the same symptoms. She was gone within 3 days."
Susan: "No. u can't leave me. We have to raise our baby...It must have a father!"
Caleb: "I know u will take good care of our son of daughter. Why don't u get your brother to help you?"
Susan: "He's gone all the time. I barely get to see him."
Caleb: "Susan, he can help u during migration. That's about the only time you'll need big help. door then he will have no choice but to kom bij in on the migration. u will do just *breath* fine. I've been sick for 2 1/2 days. My time is coming. u must be strong...for our baby."
Susan: *begins crying* "OK...I love you..."
Caleb: "I love you, too." *drifts slowly to sleep*
Susan: "Caleb! No! Come back to me! No! u can't leave me!" *begins weeping harder*
*crack*
Susan: *looks up*
*crack*
Susan: *sees egg hatching* "Oh, Caleb...You just missed it..." *goes over and cradles her newborn boy* "I'll name u Private. It was your grandfather's name..."
The volgende Morning...
Susan: *running up to her brother* "Nigel! It happened...He hatched!"
Nigel: "Oh, Susan! How wonderful! Uh, where's Caleb?"
Susan: "...Uh...Nigel...There's something I need u to do..."
Nigel: "What is it, sister?"
Susan: "Caleb. He's...gone. It happened last night. While u were away...I need u to help me along the migration. u have to help me raise my son."
Nigel: *takes Private from Susan* "Oh, Susan, I don't know if I can."
Susan: "Please. I have no one else..."
Nigel: "OK, my dear. I will try. So what's the chap's name?"
Susan: "Private. After Caleb's father."
Nigel: "Private. A lovely name."
5 Years Later...
*Susan & Nigel alone in the home pagina while Private plays outside with his friend*
Susan: "Nigel, this is getting to me. u go away for a long time, sometimes even for days. You've got to tell me where u go..."
Nigel: "Susan, u know where I go. To the far side of the reserve, feeding the children."
Susan: "No u don't. I went there yesterday to say hi & u weren't there. What's going on Nigel?"
Nigel: *sigh* "I guess you'll find out sooner of later. I'm a secret agent. I go all over the reserve to help those in need."
Susan: "Secret agent? Why have u never told me?"
Nigel: "I didn't want to worry u of put u of Private in any danger. u have to promise me u won't tell anyone. Especially Private."
Susan: *sigh* "OK. Fine. But be careful out there. u know I need you."
Nigel: "Don't worry. I will."

*Nigel attempts to save the penguins but only manages to save the female, however she is badly injured*
Nigel: *goes to the female penguin* "Ma'am! Are u OK? I'm so sorry I didn't get here sooner..."
Penguin: "It's OK. I know I'm not going to make it so I need u to promise me one thing."
Nigel: "I'll try."
Penguin: "If u meet a young pinguïn named Skipper, tell him I zei I love him..."
Nigel: "OK. I'll do just that."
Penguin: "Thank you. Thank *breath* you..." *drifts to sleep*

Susan: ...
Nigel: "Oh no. No, no, no. This can't be happening...SUSAN!!!!" *echos her name*
