201 You can't teach it to us, ma'am... 202 ...because we have to find our Heartsongs all by ourselves. 203 Well done, you. 204 It's the voice you hear inside... 205 ...who you truly are. 206 Yes. Thank you, Gloria. Excellent, lovely, thank you. 207 So let's all be very still now. 208 Take a moment and let it come to you. 209 -I got one! -Pick me! 210 -Pick me! Pick me! -One at a time. Yes, Seymour. 211 Don't push me 'Cause I am close to the edge 212 I'm trying not to lose my head 213 Yes, I like that one. I could really get jiggy with that. Lovely. 214 I'm ready. I got one. 215 Oh, I thought you might, Gloria. 216 Midnight creeps so slowly 217 Into hearts of those 218 Who need more than they get 219 Daylight deals a bad hand 220 To a penguin 221 Who has laid too many bets 222 That's as far as I got so far. 223 -Oh, yes, lovely. Really lovely. -That's beautiful. 224 Well, Mumble, since you seem so keen to share. 225 Mine's sort of a boom and a: 226 And another boom. 227 You heard that in there? 228 -Do you like it? -I'm afraid that's not a tune. 229 -It's not? -No, dear. A tune is like: 230 Oh, okay. 231 Who is that? 232 That is the offspring of Memphis and Norma Jean. 233 The wee hippity-hopper. 234 It's not funny! 235 No. No, not in the least. 236 A penguin without a Heartsong is hardly a penguin at all. 237 I think he broke my ear. 238 In all my years, I've never, I mean-- 239 And you having such fine voices. Well, it's bizarre. 240 Did anything happen, you know, during early development? 241 No, all fine. Normal incubation. 242 -Right. -Wasn't it, honey? 243 Yeah. Yeah, it was a tough winter, I guess. 244 Right, right. 245 -He did hatch a little late-- -Yes, I understand. Yes. 246 -To think he might spend his life alone... -Quite, quite. 247 ...never to meet his one true love. 248 Oh, please, Miss Viola, isn't there something we can do? 249 Well, there is always Mrs. Astrakhan. 250 Mrs. Astrakhan?
