2:40 Is that a turtle? Why is there a TURTLE IN MY BURGER? IT'S A BABY TURTLE. WAIT. [music] Let me help him. He's okay. He's so tiny. He really came out of the burger. This is not a regular turtle. I think this is a baby sea turtle. A sea turtle? From the sea? Definitely not from my breakfast. Mom, Dad, can we keep him? Peter.

3:27 Please. He came to our house. He chose us. I think he fell into a burger. [music] >> Still, please. Baby sea turtles hatch from eggs on sandy beaches. So, he was supposed to go to the ocean?

You do not even know if Donnie is a boy. You do not know if Donnie is a girl. When sea turtles are babies, it's hard to tell. So, Donnie is just Donnie. That is acceptable. He needs a simple, safe place for now. And later, he needs to go back where he belongs. The ocean. Exactly. We are helping him.

6:38 Mine. That actually looks pretty good. Welcome home Donnie. He likes it. He is inspecting it. Good. I hope the customer is satisfied. Good night, Donnie. Good night, burger turtle. He is not burger turtle. He was literally in a burger. He waved. Sleep well, Donnie. Mine. Mine.

10:37 >> [music] >> What if he is scared? Then we find him faster. And if any bird took him, that bird picked the wrong family. [music] >> [music] >> Mine.

11:22 >> [music] [music] >> Mine.

12:32 Mine. HEY! NO WAY! COME ON! MINE. >> [music] >> Eat a little first. I'm not hungry. That is how I know you are truly sad.

14:04 That is not your turtle. >> [music] >> Donny! [screaming] Donny! He's skateboarding. Got you. Donny. [music] You're okay. >> [laughter] >> My bird! Leave him alone.

14:50 He's mine! He is literally saying mine, not [music] yours. Let the bird go. No! He's okay. Mine, mine, [screaming] mine! >> [screaming] >> Hey, stop! >> [music] >> He actually called his friends. You saved us.

15:37 Mine. I think he wants to come with us. >> [music] >> One ride only. No stealing. Everyone buckled? The bird is not buckled. Mine. We're taking you home now. For real this time. That's what love does. >> [music] >> It helps even when saying goodbye is hard.

16:23 >> [music] >> This is where he belongs. I know. Bye Donny. I'm going [music] to miss you. He will be okay. He made it this far. And now [music] he gets to go home. >> [music] >> His family. They came for him.

17:14 Bye Donny. Are you crying? No. The ocean [music] is just very windy. Very windy. You helped him when he [music] needed help. That is something to be proud of. Sea turtles belong in the ocean. Exactly. [music] I think that means [music] goodbye. >> [laughter] >> Now I have a question for you. What does the seagull say? >> [music] >> I know!

18:00 Wait. Let them answer first. If you know the answer, please write it in the comments. Just write [music] the words the seagull says. Yes! Write it in the comments if you got it before me. See you next time. >> [music]
