Despite what Monterey’s background music spoke to the world, his life was heading downhill. Reports of his problems became widespread, and there wasn’t a thing anyone could say or do to stop it. It was on May 13, 2000 that everything would come crashing to an end.
Sheriff: I had to place a warrant out for his arrest. It was that simple. His life hit rock bottom and I didn’t want him to find out what lows would fall beyond that. |
Monterey caught wind of his warrant and ran with all his might. But, his oversized body prevented him from running fast. He was captured before night had fallen.
Chicken of Destiny: Some still ask me why I betrayed my friend by turning him in. I really don’t know why they’d ask me that. I’m the Chicken of Destiny. That’s what I do. I don’t have friends. I have business partners. Monterey knew that when he met me. At least I’ve been trying to tell him that anyway. The bird never did listen.
Edgar Weasel: Ha, Monterey Penguin. I remember him. He was the no good varmint who helped that chicken jerk turn me in. Well, I had a big surprise waiting for him when they flung him into my jail cell. That’s right, baby. Payback time had arrived. |
On the fateful day when Monterey was escorted to jail, his cellmate Edgar Weasel was waiting with a big cake and a bigger smile. From that moment on, he knew he had to finish his quest to get home.
Monterey: Jail was miserable to me for the sole purpose that it reminded me of what my fate should’ve been. I was originally supposed to go to a zoo or something. But it taught me to always be on my guard and to stop thinking about just myself. I knew there were worried penguins wondering where I was. And I knew I had to get back to them so that they wouldn’t worry anymore. It was no longer about fame, but about family. I missed my family. I also learned that Edgar Weasel wasn’t really all that bad. After all, he made delicious Triple-Decker cakes. |
