King: We cut the alarm wire from the tunnel. When you 2 hit the vault, we got 3 minutes to dynamite it and get that dough out.
Surly: We dig here, from the alley into the basement.
Jimmy: [points to the coal chute] Why don't we just use the door thing?
Surly: Too unpredictable. They lock it from the inside. Now listen closely.
King: We fill the vault with bags o' nuts, we seal it, we head for state lines. It'll be days before the bank realizes they got peanuts on deposit. Agreed?
Mole: Agreed, but I do not dig.
Johnny: 'Cause you're blind as a bat!
Mole: [gets agitated] WHAT?! Who said that? Where are you?
Fingers: What kind of haul we talkin', pops?
Surly: We're talkin' almonds, pistachios, walnuts, Brazils.
King: Enough cashews to buy yourselves a racetrack.
Surly: And did I mention the peanut brittle?
Johnny: Is that a candy or a nut?
Surly: [chuckles] Both. [brief silence for 2 seconds]
Mole: [bumps Jamie's shoulder] Ha ha!
King: Now listen up. This is my last heist. I ain't goin' back to that rat-filled slammer. Ya dig?
Fingers: [to Lucky] It's all we been doin'!
Surly: We dig here, from the alley into the basement.

The Rat: [the rats seize Surly] Hold him down! Hold him down! That's it! Ha ha ha!
Raccoon: Well, what do we have here? [walks to Surly] A hero or a thief?
Surly: You think you can starve the park to stay in control? Mole told me everything.
Mole: What? What's he talking about? [chuckles] I didn't say anything! He's loopy! Yeah. Cuckoo, you know, nuts. Whoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Raccoon: Is this another one of your swindles? Some half-baked revenge against me? [Surly grunts] It's something else, isn't it? You're trying to impress. Grayson, perhaps? Andie? [Surly looks surprised] Oh, I see. No matter. My accomplices will take care of them soon enough.
Surly: [tries to get free] They don't follow me. They hate me. They hate me!
Raccoon: Maybe, but I can't leave any evidence, Surly. [Cardinal lands on his shoulder] Every good thief knows that.
Mole: Hey, this is getting a little crazy, don't you think? I mean...
Raccoon: [interrupting Mole] Maybe we'll finish you off next! And where's that shiny thing he's supposed to have?
[The dog whistle is in King's back pocket]
King: All right, this is it. 10, 9...
Raccoon: [picks up a bag of nuts] You'll get the rest once you dispose of Andie and Grayson. [The Rat catches the bag of nuts] I'll finish off Mr. Hero myself.
Surly: The park will get rid of you. They'll vote in new leaders.
Raccoon: How many leaders did you think this park can have?
King: 3, 2...
Raccoon: 1!
[explosion, Surly shakes his head, Cardinal lands and the chute door lands on him, Surly goes in]
Raccoon: He'll warn the others! What are you waiting for? [kicks a rat] After him!
Raccoon: Well, what do we have here? [walks to Surly] A hero or a thief?

King: [sees cart of nuts] What the? [sees Fingers and Lucky walk out of the tunnel] I told you to load those nuts into the vault!
Fingers: Yeah, so why did you take the cart outta the tunnel?
King: What kinda game are you playin' here?
Fingers: What kinda game are YOU playin'?!
Lucky: [puts his hand on Fingers] Relax! We probably just bumped the cart.
King: Or maybe it was... [pushes the cart to expose Buddy, Andie, and the Bruisers] Rats! [they scatter]
Lucky: Holy Toledo! [King sees Andie, pulls out his gun, and tries to shoot her] Watch out!
King: I'll handle these rats! [shoots again]
[Surly runs across the basement, the rats follow him into traps, the Rat follows after him]
Fingers: [sees Surly and the Rat on him] Squirrels!
Lucky: Watch out! Hang on, Fingers!
[Fingers falls on the coal chute, Surly and the Rat hurl in the air, the Rat falls in a box of traps]
King: Get going!
Lucky: What about you?
King: What are you, deaf? I said get going!
Fingers: It was going so smooth! [he and Lucky leave the basement]
[King **** his gun, Surly sees Grayson on King's back, Grayson jumps and hides]
Surly: Grayson, you moron!
Grayson: Surly, I need a disguise. Something flamboyant.
Surly: What? Get your head out of your tail! Lead the team into the tunnel and escape through our hole. I'll distract the big guy.
Grayson: I'll need some skates, a mustache, and maybe a cape.
Surly: [grabs Grayson's face] YOU DON'T NEED A CAPE! I can't help the park alone. I'm not a hero, but you are. Last summer during that heatwave, who discovered that broken sprinkler so everyone could have water?
Grayson: [muffled] I did?
Surly: That's right! They believe in heroes. So snap out of it and be one! It's hero time.
Grayson: It's hero time! Why am I shouting?
Surly: [thinks for a moment] Rats!
Grayson: RAAAAAATS!!!!! RUN! RUN FOR THEIR LIVES! CHILDREN AND GRAYSON FIRST!
Jamie: Oh, it's Grayson!
Johnny: He's come to save us!
Andie: Now's our chance. Let's go. Move it everybody! Move!
[Surly jumps on King's shoulder, King loses focus and tries to get Surly off of him, Surly just kept running up and down King's body]
Fingers: Yeah, so why did you take the cart outta the tunnel?
King: What kinda game are you playin' here?
