[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.

h*-h*! 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?
