Go Fish

It was another day at Tiana's palace in New Orleans. Every day new customers came in. The penguins were great heroes known by all the citizens of New Orleans. Odette was the most beautiful animal in the bayou.
"Now, Skipper?"
"Not yet, Private. You gotta play hard to get. Make 'em beg for it."
"I'm beginning to sense restless hostility from the crowd."
"Skipper, we're gonna lose them."
"Okay, Odette. Commence adorable hijinks. Go, go, go!"
"Executing waddle with odd but somehow strangely endearing body shakes."
"Pretending to lose my balance and face-plant into the pool now."
"I call belly slide duty. Let's make it extra cute and cuddly today, troops."
"Swan-diving into the pool now."
"Kowalski, irresistibility readings."
"The crowd's craving for our antics is reaching optimal levels."
"Beautiful. Hit 'em with the tail wags. No mercy."
They did the tail wagging for a few minutes.
"And cease tail wagging. Always leave 'em wanting more."
"We did it!"
"Fish are incoming. 3,2..."
"Wake up your taste buds, fellas."
"Wait a minute, what is this?"
"So how's the catch of the day, troops?"
"Looks fishy, Skipper."
"It's meant to be fishy, Odette."
"No, I think Odette means fishy."
"Is it good fishy or bad fishy?"
"Definitely bad fishy, Skipper."
After a few minutes inside of waiting for the result, Kowalski had finally figured out what the mysterious fish-shaped things are.
"What are they, Kowalski?"
"Well, it appears to be some sort of molecular soy composite, guys."
"And you guys are supposed to eat this chow? You're penguins, man. You need fish. Real ones."
"Well, Tiana, these cakes do meet our nutritional requirements."
"Alright, fellas. Let's give it a shot."
The animals bit the fish cakes and immediately spit them out.
"This has gotta be some sort of freak experiment. A one time thing, right?"
The next day, they were fed fish cakes.
"Sixty-seven hours without the succulent, salty tang of the sea. We can't take much more!"
"Neither can I."
Skipper showed the others a brief slideshow of what they were going to steal fish from.
"We're going to steal fish from this standard restaurant-grade fish truck. Odette will be our specialist for aerial surveillance."
The penguins easily stole all the fish in the truck to be sure and successfully got the fish.
"Job well done, troops."
"Thank you your highness."
"We've got enough fish to last forever." "You can say that again, Private."
"Now, let's eat!"
