[We get 5 more seconds of them marching, then it cuts to them making their nests]

Narrator: Here, they prepare their nests, lay their eggs, and bring up their children.

[The camera zooms in on a Purple penguin waddling with some rocks in his hands, he then falls dropping his rocks, as 3 penguins come over one by one and take his rocks]

Purple Penguin: HEY! COME BACK HERE!!

[The scene cuts to Toto, the penguin leader and Lolo's father, who waddles up to his nest carrying a rock, he then puts down his rock and knocks away a rock that was on the right of his nest, he then puts the rock he was carrying in the former rock's place, and then takes another rock and puts on top of the same rock]

[The scene cuts to a teal colored penguin putting a rock on his nest, then the purple penguin from before comes up and takes a rock that he was standing on, which causes the rocks to slide and the penguin standing on them to fall on his back]

[The scene then cuts to 2 penguins doing a tug of war with a rock in their mouths, the penguin on the right gets it, and then swallows it much to the penguin on the left's surprise, the penguin on the right then hiccups twice]
