📝 Scene Summary (German & English)
🇩🇪 German
In dieser lustigen Szene ruft ein junger Vogel: "Mama!"
Die Mutter antwortet: "Ist schon gut, Gwen. Mach es einfach im Fliegen."
Gwen protestiert: "Hier? Aber da können mich doch alle sehen!"
Die Mutter beruhigt sie: "Niemand sieht zu, Gwen. Ich fliege ein Stück vor."
Der Vater fragt: "Was ist denn los?"
Die Mutter erklärt: "Wir haben ein Kacka-Problem."
Der Vater: "Oh, ist alles okay da hinten?"
Gwen ruft: "Dad, nicht gucken! Mein Fehler, mein Fehler!"
Dann bittet sie: "Mom, ich kann das hier nicht. Können wir landen?"
Die Mutter weigert sich: "Nein, wir landen nicht, Gwen. Du bist alt genug, um es im Himmel zu machen."
Gwen: "Aber der Druck ist einfach zu groß. Und es ist eklig."
Die Mutter: "Es ist nicht eklig. Wir sind Vögel. Jeder Vogel macht es im Himmel."
Gwen: "Und was, wenn da unten jemand guckt?"
Die Mutter: "Da unten guckt niemand. Ich hab gesagt, wir werden nicht landen. Wir landen auf gar keinen Fall."
Gwen: "Bist du sicher, dass niemand guckt?"
Die Mutter: "Gwen Mallard, los jetzt! Oder wir fliegen ohne dich."
Gwen: "Okay, okay."
Die Mutter: "Sie könnte ohne Probleme ihr Geschäft im Himmel verrichten, und wir sind hier."
Der Vater: "Lass sie einfach."
Gwen: "Hat irgendjemand mal weiches Moos?"
Der Vater: "Nimm einfach ein Blatt."
🇬🇧 English
In this funny scene, a young bird calls out: "Mom!"
The mother replies: "It's okay, Gwen. Just do it while flying."
Gwen protests: "Here? But everyone can see me!"
The mother reassures her: "No one's looking, Gwen. I'll fly a bit ahead."
The father asks: "What's going on?"
The mother explains: "We've got a poopy problem."
The father: "Oh, is everything okay back there?"
Gwen shouts: "Dad, don't look! My bad, my bad!"
Then she pleads: "Mom, I can't do this here. Can we land?"
The mother refuses: "No, we're not landing, Gwen. You're old enough to do it in the sky."
Gwen: "But the pressure is just too much. And it's gross."
The mother: "It's not gross. We're birds. Every bird does it in the sky."
Gwen: "But what if someone down there is watching?"
The mother: "No one's looking down there. I said we're not landing. We're absolutely not landing."
Gwen: "Are you sure no one's watching?"
The mother: "Gwen Mallard, come on now! Or we'll fly without you."
Gwen: "Okay, okay."
The mother: "She could easily do her business in the sky, and here we are."
The father: "Just leave her be."
Gwen: "Does anyone have any soft toilet moss?"
The father: "Just use a leaf."
