Flippers
[Red has been brought in to be interviewed]
What's with the handcuffs on a little girl? Her wrists could slip right out! How 'bout a cage?
Det. Stork
[on walkie-talkie, eager]
Bring in the cage!
Flippers
I was being sarcastic.
Det. Stork
[on walkie-talkie, disappointed]
Sarcasm. Strike the cage...
Chief Grizzly
[The guy on the other end of the radio groans] [sighs]
Well all right. Get the cuffs off her.
Nicky Flippers
[The notary sharpens his pencil and Red's handcuffs are removed]
So, Red, why don't you explain how this all began?
Red
Well, like any other day: I was making deliveries to my granny's goodie shop.
Chief Grizzly
[Flippers has Kirk brought in to be interviewed; Kirk hits his head on the doorway coming into the room] [to Det. Stork about Kirk]
This guy's a loon.
Det. Stork
Watch it, chief. My mama's half-loon.
Flippers
[Chief Grizzly shoots him a "what?" look] [to Kirk]
My, my. You're a big fellow. Shop at the Big and Tall store?
Kirk
This is a big and tall mistake! I would not hurt a butterfly!
Det. Stork
[slams Kirk's pick axe down in front of him]
Then what's this?! A letter opener?!
Chief Grizzly
Yeah that's a funny accent you got there, choppy.
Kirk
I can do the Cowboy accent. [cowboy accent] "Howdy, partner!"
Flippers
Indeed you can. Say, before you ride off into the sunset, you think you could rustle us up some information?
Granny
[Granny has just revealed her secret sports life to the police. Red is giving a disgusted look at her]
Honey, don't look at your granny like that.
Red
I'm sorry, I thought you were Triple G! Or are you the bandit?
Det. Stork
[Stunned silence]
Awkward! [awkwardly side slips his way out of the room]
Granny
You're being ridiculous, Red.
Red
I'm being ridiculous?! You're off living...La Vida Loca, risking your life for some dumb thrills! And I'm supposed to stay home and be your happy little delivery girl?!
Tommy
[Pause]
I have a...
Flippers
Coffee break, anyone?
Chief Grizzly
Uh, yeah.
Det. Stork
[Everyone starts for the door]
Who's got my keys?
RJ Raccoon Jerry
You think Granny would mind if I went through her garbage?
Chief Grizzly
Excuse us.
Granny
[Everyone, except Red and Granny, files out of the room]
I thought you were happy.
Red
Open your eyes. I've never even been outside of the forest. Don't you think I'd want more than that?
Granny
Of course you do. You're a Puckett.
Red
[sighs]
I don't know what that means anymore. [takes off her red hood, drops it on the floor, and leaves the room]
[Granny sadly picks it up as she watches her granddaughter leave]
