[Francis] So, Chip, how are the hotdogs coming?

Will the fire start soon?

This heats up the hotdog internally.

There's no fire necessary.

[splat]

Does anyone know how to actually start a fire?

Kindling!

Where'd you get this stuff?

The storage room. Figured it was fair game.

But what about the weenies, Chip?

The weenies!

[Chip] Do not worry, Larry. I got this.

[grunting]

Hmm.

-Should we just microwave 'em? -Oh, yeah!

-What? No. -Come on, everybody.

Wait, I got this!

[grunts furiously]

[sighs] Hmph!

Less useful than the microwave!

[wind gusts]

[shrieks]

"Nils Monthly"?

[Nils] You'll never start a fire like that.

Survival mags? DVDs? Who is this guy?

[snarling]

I am Nils Vulfren,

the guy with the drive to survive.

Yip-yip!

If you want to live like me,

you got to be strong like me,

wild, free and alone.

-Yip-yip! -"Wild, free and alone"?

Yip... yip.

[water rushing]

[shrieks]

[thuds] Yip-yip!

[grunts]

Oh! Hello again.

I think now you are ready to birth the perfect you.

Only "if" you follow my method of extreme self-reliance.

In this ruthless world, you must take what you want...

-Hi-yah! -[thuds]

[vocalizes, grunts]

...in the most strongest way possible.

Hi-- [gasps]

Wah!

[Nils] And remember, most importantly,

always "never" ask for help!

[Chip grunting]

Chip? What're you doing?

-[grunts] -[pops]

I'm bettering myself.

-[wind gusting] -[Chip] Um...

-Chip! -Hurry, Chip!

-Grab onto this vine! -[Pliny] Hurry!

Grab hold, Chip! We got you!

[Nils via stick] Yip-yip!

Uh... No.

I must always never ask for help.

Wait. What? What are you talking about?

I gotta go learn to be wild, free and alone.

When I return [voice fading] it will be as your champion,

forged in the fire of Mother Earth

-and the salt of Father Sea! -Huh.

[exhales] Finally, completely and utterly alone.

Now let's build some character!

Ha-ha. There we go.

-Do your worst, Nature! -[thud]

-Ow! Well, I-- -[thuds]

Ow! Excuse me.

C'mon, beat it you.

[blows, grunts]

[gasps]

[yelps, screams]

[Larry exhales] Boy, I sure hope Chip's okay.

Well, at least with that head we know he can't drown.

-Ooh! -Good one, Francis.

Love that, Francis.

Hey, look! Maybe Chip landed on that island.

You're right. C'mon, let's hurry!

-[thuds] -[Larry chuckles] Gross!

[Sara] Hello? Chip?

-[Pliny] Chip? -[buzzing]

-I'll just stay on the boat. -[Pliny] Chip?

I don't get it. Why won't he let us help him?

Everybody needs help.

Nobody's an island.

Until now.

[all screaming]

Chip? What are you?

Are you okay?

I become more and more okay with each instant spent in the ecosystem of me.

Bee-boop. Chip to krill-command!

Let's show our guests some hospitality.

[seagulls screeching]

[Merian] Ugh.

Chip, what's going on here?

-Chip? -C'mon, Pliny.

Tour leaves now. Yip-yip.

Here's the salvage zone,

where we pan for treasures of the sea.

It looks like trash.

Yeah, so far, a lot of it's trash.

Over here!

Being an island is hard work.

Nothing fuels me up

like a slurp of my home-brewed "power froth."

[slurps]

It's mostly plankton and some other

-assorted chunks. -[throws up, gulps]

Then there's this guy. He mostly just keeps watch.

I think...

And last we have the "piece de resistance."

It's not much yet, but a couple more months

it will be a bridge back to the mainland,

and by the time it's done,

I will be the man you need me to be.

Months? Chip! We can just take you home now!

C'mon, Sara.

Aah! No, No! Hey!

Nils says I have to rely on myself.

Okay, we'll leave.

But if you get hungry...

[drools]

[Nils via hotdog] Yip-yip!

No! I have everything I need right here.

[Larry] Bye, Chip! I like your island!

[Chip sighs]

Self-reliance sure is lonely.

[Ear Krill] Don't be sad.

I'm your friend.

What? Why'd you say that?

-Ear Krill, eject from me. -[Ear Krill yelps]

I need to do this alone.

[crying] I'm so strong!

-[Mudskipper screams] -Huh?

Are we back at the mainland?

[hoots]

More like, man-land. Yip-yip!

Nils Vulfren?

Ah, you know me? Yes. Good.

I'm like your biggest, uh, peer.

Name's Chip.

Your island is not bad.

I see you've made your own power froth.

Yep. It's, uh, much better than hotdogs.

Yip-yip.

You've never tried mine!

One hundred percent seafood.

Here, eat, eat, please.

Thanks, but I'm on a path of extreme self-reliance.

Ho-ho! Good. Good.

Yeah, and once I achieve full "Lone-Wolf Competence,"

I will go home and contribute to my pack.

Pack? There is no pack.

If you want to be strong,

you have to be wild, free and alone.

Yeah, but I'm only getting strong so I can help my friends.

Ha! If you really were my biggest peer,

you know that you don't get strong to help others.

[Mudskipper screaming]

Hey! What the--

You get strong to help yourself.

And I'm going to help myself to your salvage zone.

No! The treasures of the sea!

[Nils] Oh, it's all trash.

Let's try your froth pond instead.

No, not the froth pond!

Oh, yes!

[slurps]

Lobsters, go!

Aah!

[grunts, groans] He's too strong.

All y'all critters gotta go save yourselves!

I have to face him, alone.

[Pliny] Oh, no, you won't.

[gasps] My friends! How did you know?

Let's just say, a little bird told me.

Ear Krill!

Just give us the word, Chip. We're ready to rock!

I mean, if you want us to.

Yes, Mr. Chip, you can ask for help,

but only if you are soft, helpless and weak. [mocking laugh]

What's weak is pretending to like power froth

when your friends have a whole mess of hotdogs!

I'd rather take you on wild, free and together!

[all kids scream]

Friend Island!

[kids cheering] Yay!

-All right, Chip! -It's just a bad dream.

Whatever. A few more trophies for my case. Why not?

Lobsters, fall back!

Leave this one to me. [sucks]

-[Merian screams] -[kids screaming]

[Merian] We're doomed!

Eel arms! Reassemble!

That's it. Keep it up!

No eels left behind!

Hey, it's working!

Wait... [yelps]

-[exclaims] -[Chip gasps]

You ready to quit now, Chip?

Yeah, all right, fine...

Not!

Friend arms?

Grandma always said I was handy. Whoa!

[gasps] Wait! Stop! Stop, stop, stop!

-[gasps] -This isn't working.

-He's too strong. -Yeah.

Maybe if we just give him what he wants, he'll let us go.

"Give him what he wants." Hmm.

-That's it! -[Nils] Now, what, Chip?

Your whole pack is mine!

Y'know what? You can have 'em.

-What? -W... w... wait, no, no. No.

And my froth pond and Mudskipper and my salvage yard.

Oh, and me, too! Gift from a friend.

No, no, no from a friend!

-Team Nils! -[kids] Team Nils!

-Our pleasure! -All for you!

We're going to love you so much.

[Ear Krill] I'm your friend.

No!

No!

I don't receive! I take!

So have your grubby little friends

and your chunky froth pond,

and get off my island!

[water splashes, hisses]

-Is everyone okay? -Doing good.

-Yeah! -Mmm-hmm.

-Yep. I'm good. -Sure thing.

[Nils] Never better.

[Chip] Nils.

C'mon, reach out your hand. I gotcha.

I always never ask for help.

Yip-yip.

-[blows] -[yells]

Well, at least we know that whale will get plenty of hot air.

-Ooh, yes! -Yeah!

-Yes, yes! -Good one, Francis!

Hey, Pliny! Little help?

Thought you'd never ask.

Sad to leave your ecosystem?

Eh, it was never really mine. I shared it.

Go on now.

I'm gonna miss that fetid heap.

Yeah, that fetid heap.

-[stomach growls] -I'm starving.

Oh! Good! It's weenie night.

Wanna build that fire?

We have a microwave, right?
