Debate Over Thanksgiving Attack Strategy
Reggie
Ow! What are you doing?
Jake
Tomorrow's Thanksgiving. We must attack the fort (and free those captured comrades) tonight.
Reggie
Ah! Oh! Ah! Ow! We shouldn't attack anything. (Even the fort. It'll risk the safety of the flock.)
Jake
He told me we must do it together.
Reggie
Oh! Give me a break. He? The Great Turkey? Ooh! He's a voice inside your head.
[sarcastically; Jake turns around to him, feeling insulted]
Jake
How dare you. There is nothing inside my head. The Great Turkey is real. I saw him with my own two eyes.
[Reggie shakes his head in annoyance]
Reggie
The more you say that name, the dumber it sounds. I mean--
[Jake angrily grabs him in the neck]
Jake
The Great Turkey is the greatest turkey that I know and you will never be as great as The Great Turkey who is the greatest... turkey.
Reggie
Okay. (What kind of farm were you from, a murderous one?)
[chokingly; Jake realizes and lets go of his neck]
Jake
I'm sorry, Reggie. I didn't grow up on a nice free-range farm. I grew up in a cold, clinical factory. From the time we were born, we were fattened up on formula. Except for me. My mother kept me hidden from the humans.
[flashback]
Young Jake
Is it time?
Jake's Mom
Yes, sweetie. Now, these eggs are our future, Jake. Take them and run and don't stop until you find a safe place to start a new flock.
Young Jake
Mama, I'm scared.
Jake
I failed. I let down my family, and my flock. I decided I was better off going it alone where I could never hurt anyone again. Then, he arrived. The Great Turkey.

The Irony of Thanksgiving for Turkeys
Reggie (voice-over)
Holidays, the whole world loves them. That's why there are so many. (Includes, New Years. Halloween.) Christmas. Easter. Hanukkah. The one thing they all have in common... food, like Thanksgiving. That's what it's all about. A time to sit down over the holiday meal. It's everyone's favorite part. Unless of course, you are the meal.
[chuckles; a family is having a Thanksgiving Dinner with a roasted Turkey; unknown to the family, they are being watched by a horrified domestic turkey named Reggie]
Reggie (voice-over)
My name is Reggie, by the way. I'm the turkey screaming for his life.
[Reggie in reality continues to scream in fear]
Reggie
Ah! Ah!
[runs back to the farm]
Reggie (voice-over)
Thanksgiving is a turkey's (number 1) worst nightmare. And trust me, I've tried to warn them.
Reggie
You don't get it! They're fattening us up so they can eat us!
Turkey 1
It's such a beautiful day.
Turkey 2
This is the best day ever!
Turkey 1
Probably the best day of my life.
Turkey 3
Hey, corn!
All Turkeys
CORN!!!
Reggie (voice-over)
And every year, they don't listen. I'm not gonna dress it up. Turkeys are dumb.

A Mission Gone Awry
Jake
Whatever you do, do not make a sound.
[sternly; removes the bag from Reggie to see him]
Jake
Shh... I'm Jake from the TFF. That's Turkey Freedom Front. You've just been recruited for a top-secret mission.
Reggie
Ah! Help! I've been kidnapped by a wild turkey! Security, set tasers to kill! Ah! Oh.
[runs off back to Camp David with Jake watching him; Jake uses his own wing to stop Reggie, flinging him into the air; Jake grabs the TV remote, as Reggie lands on his back; 2 security officers hears this from the distance]
Security Guard
What was that?
[looks around at the woods with flashlight, as Jake is stealthily hides behind a tree, the security head back inside]
Jake
Love your enthusiasm, comrade. But you're running in the wrong direction. Besides, we're already behind schedule.
[grabs Reggie and pins on a tree]
Reggie
We're behind schedule?
[confused]
Jake
We are? Why didn't you say so? Let's move!
[grabs Reggie]
Reggie
Look, I think you have me confused with somebody else. I'm not part of any mission.
Jake
Horizon seems clear. Hold on.
Reggie
Hey, wait! That's me! This is the pardoned turkey. Help me!
Jake
A strange rogue turkey. Stay back. I'll take him out.
Reggie
Please don't hurt me.
Jake
I don't know who you are but you're seriously jeopardizing this operation.
Reggie
Are you insane? It's me.
[brief moment of silence]
Jake
Is it? Is it really?
Reggie
Would you get off me?! You know what? I'm sick of you throwing me around. You see this line? Do not come into my personal- Did you not see the line? Cause I was pretty clear that it's right-
[; draws a line in the dirt with his sharp toe nail & points at with his feathered finger; Jake slaps him in the face; Jake slaps his face 3 more times]
Jake
Snap out of it, Reggie.
Reggie
Wait, how do you know my name?
[shocked & confused]
Jake
Because he told me everything about you.
Reggie
He? Who is he?
Jake
The Great Turkey. He appeared in the sky on a bright ball of light with a voice that came from everywhere. He gave me my mission, told me I needed to find you. And then, he gave me... this.
[revealing a shiny golden doorknob in his wing to Reggie]
Reggie
A doorknob?
Jake
The Sacred Time Knob.
Reggie
This guy is a lunatic.
Jake
That secret military base should be right up ahead. The facility should be in here. Just need to figure out how to get past this impenetrable gate. So, this is what it looks like on the inside.
[; Reggie sarcastically unlocks the gate with his feathered finger as Jake kicks the gate open, shoves Reggie in]
Reggie
Okay, what's inside this secret base, anyway?
[bumps into Jake as he turns around to Reggie]
Jake
A time machine.
[thunder and lightning comes out]
Reggie
A time machine?
Jake
A time machine.
[thunder and lightning comes out again]
Reggie
A time machine.
Jake
A time- What? Who told you that?
[thunder and lightning comes out, but stops as Jake realizes]
Reggie
You did, just now.
Jake
Of course, I did. I was testing you.
Reggie
Uhhh...
Jake
That's our mission. Not even to safe ten turkeys or even a hundred, but all of them. We're going back in time to the First Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu. That's right, we're going back in time to the First Thanksgiving to get turkeys off the menu.
[turns to probably break the fourth wall; Reggie leans to Jake]
Reggie
Who are you talking to?
Jake
This guy right here. He totally gets it. Look, look, see how he's nodding?
[points at his reflection on a hubcap tire of a military Jeep, Reggie frowns at him]

A Call to Fight for Survival
Jenny
My father loved this flock. And he will always be a part of it. He gave his life to give us ours. So, we will honor him. But right now, we need to do what we must to survive.
[Reggie starts to leave out of guilt; Reggie sadly looks back at Jenny]
Reggie
This is all my fault.
[sadly]
Jenny
They have taken our home. They've taken our family. We have only one choice now. We will fight! We will stand and fight! This is our home! No more hiding! We will attack the fort, free our family and make our flock whole once again! Who's with me!?
[Jake realizes Reggie is gone]
Ranger
We fight!
Danny
We fight, brother!
[the flock chants as Jake runs after Reggie, meanwhile Reggie sadly walks through the forest to get to STEVE]
STEVE
Good morning, Reggie. Why the long face? That is a punch line from a joke.
Reggie
Just take me home.
Jake
Reggie, wait! The flock is in trouble!
Reggie
Yup. (They are all in grave danger.) And you know why? Because of us! We didn't save anyone. We made everything worse.
[angrily]
Jake
But, Reggie, the Great Turkey told me—
Reggie
There is no Great Turkey! There is no mission. You made it all up in your head. It's all a lie. Now, I'm leaving, alright? Before we mess things up even more! And if you're smart, you'll come with me.
[angrily moves Jake's wings off of him; Jake slumps]
Jake
I can't give up.
[close to tears]
Reggie
Yeah, if you're smart. Look who I'm talking to.
[turns his back on Jake and enters STEVE sits on the seat]

A Farewell Among Friends
Reggie
See you later, STEVE.
[sighs in remorse as he goes back inside]
STEVE
Goodbye, Reggie.
Future Reggie
Hey. (Hold on right there.)
Future Reggie
Hey, hey, hey! Wait! Wait!
[inside the house]
Future Reggie
Snap out of it Reggie, we don't have time for this.
Reggie
Ah!
[turns to run away with Future Reggie chasing him]
Future Reggie
Hey! I'm breaking like 100 time travel rules, and this might destroy the universe, but I don't have a choice. I've come back from the future to tell you something really important.
[tackles Reggie and gets him up]
Reggie
What is it?
[brief pause]
Future Reggie
You're an idiot.
Reggie
Whoa! That's a little harsh. I may not be a genius but...
Future Reggie
Everything you want is back in 1621. Jenny, Jake, a whole flock of friends.
Reggie
Yeah, a flock that I totally messed up. They're better off without me.
Future Reggie 2
No!
[comes out of the bushes]
Future Reggie
Wow!
[jumps in surprise along with Reggie who yelps]
Future Reggie 2
I've come from even farther in the future to tell you that Jenny and the flock are gonna attack the fort. They don't stand a chance.
Reggie
Oh, no. What do we do?
Future Reggie
We need a plan.
Reggie
Exactly. Whoa. The Sacred Time Knob.
[the Sacred Time Knob shines in his wing]
Future Reggie 2
The Sacred Time Knob!
Future Reggie
The Sacred Time Knob:
Reggie
Wait.
[realizes]
Future Reggie 2
Yeah?
Reggie
You know what this means?
Future Reggie
What does it mean?
Reggie
It's so simple. It means... I... need to go find The Great Turkey. I bet he's behind the door that this opens!
[laughs about the Sacred Time Knob]
STEVE
Oh, come on! You are The Great Turkey.
[Reggie turns around to STEVE in confusion]
Reggie
I'm The Great Turkey?
[amazed]
Future Reggie 1 and 2
You're The Great Turkey.
[look at each other happily]
Reggie
Which means Jake was telling the truth the whole time? Wow, I really am an idiot!
Future Reggie
I hate to say I told you so.
Reggie
Wait, if I'm an idiot, then you're an idiot.
[Future Reggie nods in agreement]
Future Reggie 2
No, no, guys, guys, guys, technically, we're all idiots. But we're also all...
All Reggies
The Great Turkey!
Future Reggie
My mind is being literally blown right now!
Future Reggie 3
Mine, too!
[comes out of the bushes]
All Reggies
Ah!
Future Reggie 3
I came back to make sure we stop and appreciate just how awesome this is.

Corn and the Sun: A Turkey Debate
Elder Turkey
Our world is made of corn. Leafy corn. Corn corn. Fire corn!
[grabs leaf; has corn in his wing; waves his wing at sun]
Reggie
That's an awesome theory, but I think they actually call that the Sun.
Elder Turkey
Out. Out!

Good-byes and hellos in friendship
Reggie
Are you sure you won't stay here with the flock?
Jake
I'm a turkey of action, Reggie.
Reggie
Well, I guess this is good-bye.
Jake
No, Reggie. Good-byes are just hellos, carried across the wind until our paths... intersect once again.
Reggie
That's beautiful… and confusing.
Jake
Wild, undomesticated turkeys of the past. I'll never forget you.
[the flock, Reggie & Jenny wave good-bye to Jake & STEVE as Jake sits on the seat]
STEVE
Where would you like to go, Jake?
Jake
Wherever we are needed, STEVE. Wherever we are needed.
[Jake and STEVE leave as Reggie and Jenny watch]
Reggie
So, this is Turkey Paradise.
[to Jenny; romantically kisses her, much to her amazement & her left eye drops]
Jenny
Wow, you're moving pretty fast for a Pisces. Whatever that is.
[sighs in amazement]
STEVE
Oh my.
[zaps into black]
