Rookie: "Hello, and welcome to our coverage of the Penguin Games. How’s it going, Rory?"
Rory: "I’m not going anywhere, ‘Rookie’. I’m staying right here for the Penguin Games. Maybe later I might go for a swim."
Rookie: "No, no… I meant how do you feel?"
Rory: "With my flippers, ‘Rookie’. Sometimes with my feet."
Rookie: "Never mind. We’re supposed to explain what’s happening at the Penguin Games."
Rory: "Why didn’t you say so? The Penguin Games are shaping up to be more fun than flying a Jet Pack with a blindfold."
Rookie: "Here are the events: There’s a cross-country marathon, a swim meet and a track meet."
Rory: "I heard Gary has a surprise for the marathon, to keep track of runners. He’s a tricky penguin."
Rookie: "Penguins all over the island can join in the games. Those with a membership can compete on the new soccer pitch at the Ice Rink."
Rory: "I’m more excited than that stuffed Mullet fish in the Ski Lodge."
Rory & Rookie: "..."
Rookie: "Well, good luck to everyone at the Penguins Games!"
Rory: "Have fun, do your best, and get the gold! The Games finish on August 26."

Top right photo: "Surround yourself with things you love. Repetition is always fun. I’ve used plenty of teddy bears here as you can see!"
Middle left photo: "Take a look at the clearance section. This might be your last chance to get that perfect sofa."
Middle right photo: "Using a key color will really make your igloo zing! This beach umbrella looks fabulous."
Bottom left photo: "Soft items, like this regal chair, create a feeling of luxury, and don’t scream: ‘I’m made of ice!’"
Beta-tester image: "“It wasn’t until November that year that penguins started moving into igloos! Can you imagine?”"
Puffle gum image: "“We got our first glimpse of puffles in November, but no one knew what they were at the time. They weren’t even in the Pet Shop until March 2006. Now they’re pretty much everywhere.”"
Construction crew image: "“After a few months of good hard work, we were proud to open the Boiler Room and Underground Pool to the public. As per tradition, we held a party to celebrate. I was told to raise the roof, but I cautioned against it, since we’re deep underground.”"
