Alice: Each?! That's not in the budget!
McSlade: Well, I'm lunching with the mayor right after this inspection. I'll get that fish money if it's the last thing I do. Those poor penguins deserve it.

After the penguins fake starvation, Commissioner McSlade instructs Alice to increase the penguins' fish rations and says that he will secure the money for the increase during his upcoming lunch with the mayor. McSlade's toupee then blows off without his knowledge and Alice begins repetitively trying to inform him of such discretely and indirectly. The hairpiece ends up in the lemur habitat where Julien, believing it is a hairy creature, commands Maurice to beat it; in the process, a sticky fruit adheres it to Maurice's head. Julien and Mort then begin to attack the "monster" with sticks as Maurice flees; Maurice's rear is covered in red paint and some of his tail fur ripped off in the chase until it reaches the baboon habitat and the three female baboons mistake Maurice for a male of their species. The baboons begin to pamper him, which makes Julien jealous. Meanwhile, after searching for the toupee, when the penguins learn its whereabouts from Julien, they rip it from Maurice in time to place it back on the commissioner's head before he leaves the zoo.
At home, I go to the hairdresser about every six weeks to get my hair color touched up. When I told my hairdresser at home about my trip she was gracious enough to supply me with the color she uses on my hair. This was a huge relief as that had been a big question mark for me in pre-trip planning. I was hesitant to use a pharmacy hair color kit after spending so many years perfecting the highlights and tone of my hair. Also, there was the question of if I would be able to find a blonde color in Southeast Asia.
When I came for my appointment I left my sandals outside of the door as is customary in many Thai businesses. A bit unusual when there is cut hair on the floor to consider but I appeared to be the first customer of the day which was a relief.
I showed the hair dresser my tube of color and showed her a paper showing 2 ounces need to be mixed with 3 ounces of developer. She nodded and smiled and pinned my hair up. I looked back in the mirror to see her squeezing the last bits of the 3.5 ounce tube into a mixing bowl. Maybe she can just put in more developer I told myself.
Next, she mixed the color around and approached me. I then had to try to explain that there was an ingredient missing. I should have brought the developer I had with me but I was trying to preserve my limited supply thinking she would have industrial size dispenser. She picked up on what I was trying to say and opened some color boxes which had tubes of developer in different volumes. We found the one I needed, she mixed the two together and it was show time.
Then in seventh grade, we moved to Atlanta where we spent a lot of time with my grandmother. She would tell us stories of our ancestors, how one grandfather traveled back and forth between Jamaica and the States as a person who was enslaved to a ship captain. As I was learning about my roots, a relaxer my mother forced on me chemically damaged my hair, causing my hair to fall out in chunks that would fill gallon-sized Ziploc bags. As it turns out, the same harsh chemicals used to kill the shape in our curls also poisons the environment and our bodies.
I began my own journey to overcome intergenerational trauma through my hair. After I moved out at 18 and temporarily cut ties from my mom, I did the big chop, cutting away split ends and curls that were unhealthy from all the years of chemicals and heat. In 2020, I finally transitioned to locs, which transformed my healing and identity journey.
Our hair has also inspired social and political change in the wake of this trauma. The Rastafari culture in Jamaica, for instance, encourages Jamaicans to be proud of their African heritage by being proud of their natural hair texture, Barnett said. Afrocentric ideologies and locs empowered Jamaicans during their fight for independence in the 1950s and 1960s, he said.
Last year, scientists found that more than half of the 231 cosmetic products (including hair spray) they tested in the U.S. and Canada contain toxic chemicals called per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, better known as PFAS, that have been linked to immunity and reproductive health issues, as well as cancer. These toxic chemicals are also polluting our watersheds, putting Black families at a greater risk for unsafe drinking water.
As was inspired, then, to learn about plants and herbalism. She shared how she would extract the gel from the leaves of her aloe plant and mix it with juice, honey, lemon, and lavender to make tonics for stomach viruses. As also handmakes her own line of clothing, oils, and hair moisturizers; she carves bowls and purses from the calabash tree, too.

Ickis and Krumm are in their room, arguing about which one of them's the most daring. Oblina, annoyed, tells them that neither of them are daring. Ickis tells her she's just saying that because she's jealous. Oblina tells Ickis she is not, and that to prove they are daring, they should do something really daring. She suggests stealing the Snorch's prized golden nose hair. Ickis and Krumm do not know she is joking and run off to snatch the hair.
In their room, the Snorch and Zimbo are getting ready to go to sleep. Ickis and Krumm spy on them as Zimbo combs the Snorch's nose hair. They go to sleep. Ickis tiptoes in and uses a pair of tweezers to take the nose hair out of the Snorch's left nostril. He puts the hair in a glass jar and runs back to his room, where Oblina will be waiting. When Ickis and Krumm come back, Oblina asks where they have been. She then asks them if they were stealing the Snorch's golden nose hair and begins laughing uncontrollably. Ickis shows her the glass jar with the hair in it.
Oblina is so shocked. She tells them that she was kidding and never thought they would actually do it. They begin thinking about how much trouble they will be in. The hair escapes the jar and begins scurrying on the floor. The three monsters run around trying to catch the nose hair. It scurries off.
The next day at school, the Gromble asks the class if they notice anything different about the Snorch. They all gasp when they see that the Snorch does not have his golden nose hair. He tells everyone that the monster academy will be shut down until the Snorch has his golden nose hair back.
The Snorch, Zimbo, and the Gromble begin a search for the hair. First, they check the room belonging to Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina. Because the hair scurried off into a different location, they can't find the hair. They walk out of the room and search Snav and Blib's room. The hair scurries under Snav's pillow. Snav tells the Snorch that he would hate it if one of his prized possessions was stolen and shows him all of his best belongings. He takes them out from under his pillow and shows the nose hair, confused.
Snav is taken to the Snorch's room where the Snorch will decide on an appropriate punishment for him. Blib yells out to him that he will prove he is innocent. Ickis, Krumm, and Oblina find out that Snav was accused and each have a dream about what will happen if they don't speak up and tell the Snorch that they stole the hair. Krumm has a dream about Snav going to court. Krumm is the jury and the Gromble is the judge. Snav is taken away, asking Krumm why he did not say anything.
Oblina has a dream about Snav popping out of every locker door in the academy and asking her "Why?". Ickis has an even worse dream, causing him to wake up and begin screaming. He wakes up his roommates. They all say they will each tell the Gromble that they stole the hair. They walk into the Gromble's room where he is sleeping. When he wakes up, he tells them that he was having a great nightmare, but they ended it. They all confess. They are brought to the Snorch, where he forces them to dance along to Scottish music he plays. The Snorch had won this fight, but the trio knew they would be allowed to study again in 10 days, or so Zimbo mentioned. But that's another episode, for another time.
Kidnap every single penguin out of every single zoo he got kicked out of and take them into his laboratory by hiding away his true personality from all the humans around the world.
Get revenge upon the Penguins for replacing him by turning them into mutated monstrous creatures and take away all of their cuteness forever by keeping and rendering the world filled with penguins cute less and also ugly (both temporarily succeeded, but then backfired).
Use the serum in order to transform every single animal in the world into mutated monsters so he would be able to have revenge on the human race for rejecting him and thus destroy the entire concept of animals including the penguins in the planet ridding the cute and cuddly animals from the face of the world.
Stop the penguins from ruining his plan and turning them back into normal penguins.
Take over Manhattan (all failed).
Dave was originally one of the top attractions of the Central Park Zoo, where he entertained visitors with his clever and funny tricks. However, when the Penguins arrived, they unknowingly stole all of the attention due to their cuteness. Dave was then kicked out and transferred to another zoo. The same thing happened again and again and again; penguins getting all the love while Dave was shunned, ignored and neglected.
