- Wallace: Anything planned for today, Gromit?
- [Gromit points to the calendar, the date today showing it's Archie's birthday]
- Wallace: Oh, is it his birthday already? Oh, champion! That means a trip to the zoo. Er, did you remember to get him a little something-or-other?
- [Gromit puts on the table a wrapped-up fish]
- Wallace: Oh, my word, yes, Archie'll love that. Much fresher than "tinned".
- [shows off a picture of Archie, who is a polar bear]
- Wallace: Just the thing for a growing polar bear. He's lucky to have us as sponsors.
- Wallace: [seeing Feathers McGraw holding Archie on a leash] Release that bear cub at once, Feathers McGraw, or I'll set me dog on you!
- Wallace: There's something pretty fishy going on here, lad, and it's not just Archie's birthday present.
- Wallace: [seeing Feathers holding Archie hostage] Feathers McGraw? But he's supposed to be doing porridge in the Penguin House!
- [Wallace and Gromit spot the entrance to a mine under the zoo]
- Wallace: Blinkin' Nora! Feathers' been busy. This wasn't here last time we visited. A mine entrance! Under West Wallaby Zoo! Most irregular. What on Earth has Feathers been up to? He's a penguin, not a miner bird.
