MARTIN: Whoa, smooth it out, Chris.
I never get carsick but this is ridiculous.
I've got the zig down.
Now I just have to get the zag.
(Gasping) MARTIN: Whoa, swallow attack!
Oh, yeah, it's the erratic flight pattern defense.
Fly all zigzaggy and it's harder for a predator to catch you.
That's when zigzags come in handy.
Well, I hope you got it down now, dude, because that blue bomber just circled around on your left!
Got it!
Zigging now!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Yeah!
Can't catch us!
Chris, on the right!
Uh-oh, this calls for the zag.
Not the zag.
Whoa!
Yes, nailed it.
Whoo-hoo!
Bye-bye, tree swallow.
(Both gasping) Ow.
Hello, windshield.
Where's Maxilla?
Oh, she's fine.
Us, not so good.
DONITA: There's one!
Uh-oh!
Uh-oh!
Capture it.
Get me that butterfly!
I'll get you, butterfly.
Whoa!
Uh-oh, our wings are pretty messed up.
Yeah, but at least it still flies.
Let's wing it!
Oof!
They're just little bugs!
Are you telling me you can't catch bugs?
CHRIS: Okay, now we know that cars are like predators to the migrating monarch.
They're dangerous.
And Donita, she's after these butterflies too.
AVIVA: Don't worry about Donita.
We'll keep an eye on her.
Oh, and, guys, watch your energy.
Don't forget to refuel.
(Beeping) Uh-oh.
Uh-oh.
BOTH: Now she tells us!
(Groaning) This is going well so far.
Couldn't be better.
Day 3 of Mission Monarch and things are off to a shaky start.
Hey, nice day for flying.
Have you seen Maxilla, #12?
Thirsty?
Yeah, we're filling up our tank too.
Wow, now, that's a cool straw!
CHRIS: Built in and portable.
Just roll it out and have a drink of sweet nectar.
Nice touch, Aviva.
Just like a butterfly's proboscis.
Here's some untapped nectar, Martin.
Yup, sugary sweet.
The perfect energy food for a butterfly.
Fill her up.
I can't believe we lost Maxilla.
Oh, we got to find her so we can help her if she gets into trouble.
Martin, we're just barely surviving here.
Maxilla's got nature's know-how.
I'm sure she's doing way better than we are right now.
