Now, where to begin? [clicks tongue]
How 'bout, "Once upon a time"?
[door slams]
How many times have you heard
that to begin a story?
Let's do somethin' else.
[gasps] I got it, I got it,
here we go.
Here's how to open a movie!
[singing in African language]
No, I don't think so.
It sounds familiar. Doesn't it, to you?
Oh, no, no, not the book.
How many have seen
"opening the book" before?
- [brakes screech]
- Close the book. We're not doing that.
Here's what we're gonna do.
Here's what we're gonna do.
Why don't I just go back to the day
things took a turn for the worse?

No, no, no!
It's true! Come with me!
No. Son? What?
It happened under the old oak tree!
I'm not making this up. It's here.
[stammering] There's a piece
of the sky somewhere...
...somewhere on the ground.
It was shaped Iike that!
- It Iooks Iike a stop sign?
- Yes!
Only it doesn't say "stop"
and it's blue and it has a cloud on it.
And it hit me on the head!
- It Iooked Iike a stop sign.
- Wait! What's that?
- Son, is this what hit you?
- What?
Oh, no, Dad. It was
definitely a piece of the sky!
Piece of the sky. It's OK, everyone!
- Dad, no.
- There's been, Iike, a Iittle mistake.
It was just an acorn that-that
hit my son. A Iittle acorn.
- No! Dad, no.
- Quiet, son.
This is embarrassing enough already.
Chicken Little! What were you thinkin'?
Why put your town's safety in jeopardy?
How could you mistake
a stop sign for an acorn?
- But it... a big acorn Ievel fluh.
- What did he say?
- A big acorn Ievel fluh...
- [reporter 2] It was a big acorn?
- [reporter 3] An ape throwing coleslaw?
- A big acorn Ievel fluh...
[man] Gesundheit!
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's just gibberish,
- gibberish of an insane person.
- Come on, Buck!
Your kid went
and scared us all half to death!
Well, what can I tell you,
folks, my son,
you know... Kids do crazy stuff.
You have kids. It's...
No, Dad. It wasn't an acorn.
It was... it was a piece of the sky.
Really, it was.
You gotta believe me.
[chuckling] A movie. A movie.
They're makin' a movie.
When? When will everybody
forget your big mistake?
When? When will everybody
forget your big mistake?
First it was all over the papers,
then they wrote a book about it,
then the book on tape,
then the board game,
the spoons with your face on it...
...and the Web site,
the commemorative plates.
...and the Web site,
the commemorative plates.
- You saw them, right?
- Yeah. I saw them.
Can't eat off 'em.
- They're not microwave-safe.
- You saw the billboards?
I saw them.
Ha! There's a bumper sticker.
I knew it was only a matter of time.
Billboards I could Iive with.
Posters I could even Iive with.
But a bumper sticker.
It's... it's Iike glued on forever.
It doesn't matter. You know why?
Because I've got a plan.
Yeah, about that.
Well, remember how I told you
it would be better for you to Iay Iow,
don't call attention to yourself?
- Yes, but I...
- See, it's Iike a game.
Yeah, a game of hide-and-seek,
except the goal
is never to be found, ever!
- [stammering]
- Great!
[chuckles] Now, we've got a plan, right?
I'II see ya Iater! Remember, Iay Iow.
Yeah. OK.
Bye.
Look, Mama! There's the crazy chicken!
Yes, it is! Crazy chicken. You're so
smart. We don't make eye contact. Bye!
That's it. Today is a new day.
