Scene 1: A group of chickens are planning to escape Tweedy's Farm.

Mrs. Tweedy: Mr. Tweedy, what is that chicken doing outside the fence?

Mr. Tweedy: Ooh! Hehe. I don't know. I...

Mrs. Tweedy: Just deal with it, now!

Mr. Tweedy: (to the chickens) I'll teach you to make a fool out of me! Now let that be a lesson to the lot of ya! No chicken escapes from Tweedy's Farm!!

(In the coop.)

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

Bunty: We haven't tried not trying to escape.

Babs: Hmmm. That might work.

Ginger: What about Edwina? 1)How many more empty nests will it take?

Bunty: Well, perhaps it wouldn't be empty if she spent more time laying and less time escaping.

Ginger: So laying eggs all your life and then getting 2)plucked, stuffed and roasted is good enough for you, is it?

Babs: It's a living.

Ginger: You know what the problem is? The fences aren't just around the farm. they're up here, in your heads. There's a better place out there. Somewhere beyond that hill, and it has wide open spaces, and lots of trees and grass. Can you imagine that? Cool, green grass...

Hen 1: Who feeds us?

Ginger: We feed ourselves.

Hen 2: Well, where's the farm?

Ginger: There is no farm.

Babs: Then where does the farmer live?

Ginger: There is no farmer, Babs.

Babs: Is he on holiday?

Ginger: He isn't anywhere. Don't you get it? There's no morning egg count, no farmers, no dogs and coops and keys, and no fences.

Bunty: In all my life, I've never heard such a fantastic load of 3)tripe! Oh face the facts, doks. The chances of us getting out of here are a million to one.

Ginger: Then there's still a chance!

Scene 2: While Ginger is in desperation, however, some hope literally falls from the sky in the form of Rocky, an American rooster.

Rocky: Ah! Who are you? Where am I? What's going on? Ouch! What happened to my wing?

Ginger: You took a rather nasty fall.

Mac: And 4)sprained the anterior 5)tendon connecting your 6)radius to your humerus. I gave it a 7)wee bit of a 8)tweak, Jimmy, and wrapped her up.

Rocky: Was that English?

Ginger: She said you sprained your wing. She fixed it.

Babs: And I made the 9)bandage!

Hen 3: I carried you in!

(Chattering.)

Rocky: 10)Whoa. Whoa! Let's 11)back up and start from the top. Where am I?

Ginger: You're right. How rude of us. We're just very excited. This is a chicken farm.

Babs: And we're the chickens.

Rocky: Yeah, with you so far... chicken farm... chickens...

Fowler: I don't like the looks of this one. His eyes are too close together.

Ginger: Father, please!

Fowler: And he's a 12)Yank.

Rocky: Easy 13)Pops, cockfighting's illegal where I come from.

Hen 3: And where is that exactly?

Rocky: Oh, just a little place I call the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Hens: Scotland!

Rocky: No! America!

Chickens: Oh, America!

Fowler: 14)Poppycock! 15)Pushy Americans! Always showing up late for every war. Over-paid, over-sexed, and over here!

Rocky: Hey, what's eating grandpa?

Ginger: Oh don't mind him, Mr.... Mr....

Rocky: The name's Rocky. Rocky the Rhode Island Red. Rhodes for short.

Hen 3: Rocky Rhodes?

Rocky: 16)Catchy, ain't it?

Ginger: (showing him the poster) Mr. Rhodes, is this you?

Rocky: Uh, who wants to know?

Ginger: A group of rather desperate chickens. See if it is you, then you just might be the answer to our prayers.

Rocky: Well then, call me a miracle, doll-face, 'cuz that's me.

Babs: And what brings you to England, Mr. Rhodes?

Rocky: Why? All the beautiful English chicks, of course.

Fowler: Git over!
