Dialogue

edit
Elder Turkey: Our world is made of corn. [grabs leaf] Leafy corn. [has corn in hand] Corn corn.
[Elder Turkey waves hand at sun]
Elder Turkey: Fire corn!
Reggie: That's an awesome theory, but I think they actually call that the Sun.
Elder Turkey: [pauses] Out. Out!
[Jake's childhood flashback. He grew up in a factory farm, attempted to escape with unhatched eggs in order to start a new flock, but couldn't get the eggs through the fence. What rubs even more salt to the wound is all the other turkeys drooping in disappointment and heartbreak]
Jake: I failed. I let down my family, and my flock.
[The Chief sacrificing himself to save the flock when the pilgrim's attack. He's trapped underneath flaming debris and instructs his daughter to go without him]
Chief Broadbeak: GO! GO!
Jenny: Not without you!
Chief Broadbeak: [softly] Jenny...
Jenny: Daddy!
Chief Broadbeak: I'll always be with you.
[Reggie arguing with Jake about his tales of "The Great Turkey" and he heads back to the present without him]
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, and you know why? Because of us! We didn't save anyone. We made everything worse!
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! [Jake slumps] Now, I'm leaving, alright?! Before we mess things up even more! And if you're smart, you'll come with me!
Jake: [close to tears] I can't give up.
Reggie: Yeah. If you're smart. [turns his back on Jake and enters the time machine and sits on the time chair] Look who I'm talking to!
[The time machine doors close and Reggie disappears back into the present, leaving the disheartened Jake behind]


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.
’’’Reggie’’’: Jake, what happened, You Only Gone Like A Second.
Jake: That should be gone for years, If you heard, About the Turkducken?
