7 scenes
Tiger

This face was bred for beauty. I cannot smell a thing.

Tiger

Away with your filth!

My filth? MY FILTH?! OK, that's it. I am so sick and tired of everybody taking one look at me and running away because they think I'm filthy! WELL, I'VE got NEWS for you, I didn't got all primmed and preened to have some overfed pompous puffball tell me he's too good for me. I've got makeup on my butt, dude! And you don't even want to know about the cork!

Tiger

No one has ever spoken to me like that! [pause] It's...bold! I like it.

RJ
[Later that night]

Welcome to suburbia.

All
[All the animals are amazed by the scenery]

Wow! Look at that!

Hey, Mom, look at us! Look at us!

Lou

Oh, my! Hon, look at this.

Penny
[The porcupine kids admire a glass ball, Heather looks at a sprinkler and Penny admires a cactus]

Jeepers.

RJ

How's that tail, Verne?

Listen, if anybody in this family gets hurt, I'm holding you personally responsible.

RJ

They're having a good time. I'll take responsibility for that.

All

This is neat. Look at that. Hey, Spike, look at that.

Lou

Hey, Verno, I took a few clippings out of my quills to do a little comparison. Look at this, the grass seems to be greener over here.

Ozzie

Verne, are you certain you came to the same place?

Yeah, 'cause the raccoon says...

OK, enough about him. I get it. So he can do a couple of tricks. I mean, it's not like he can walk on water.

RJ
[RJ runs on pool floats]

Hey, everybody! This way to the food!

[They follow RJ down the road.]

That thing's huge!

What is that?

RJ

That is an SUV. Humans ride around in it because they are slowly losing their ability to walk.

Penny

Jeepers, it's so big!

Lou

How many humans fit in there?

RJ

Usually? One.

[A door opens up, making everyone hide. It was the same woman from before.]

Hi, this is Gladys Sharp. Your president? Of the homeowner's association? Right.

Penny

Jeepers.

What is that?

RJ

Easy, easy, don't worry. That's just a human being. And they are just as scared of us as we are of them. Now, if a human does happen to see you, just lay down, roll over and give your privates a good licking. They love it.

The homeowner's charter, which you signed, says the grass is supposed to be two inches, and according to my measuring stick, yours is 2.5.

Could we just get the food and go? Really, do they have it or not?

RJ

Didn't you see it? It was in the box. They've always got food with them. We eat to live, these guys live to eat! Let me show you what I'm talking about.

RJ
[A montage begins of various humans doing various food related things]

The human mouth is called a "pie hole." The human being is called a "couch potato.” [A phone] That is a device to summon food. [A doorbell] That is one of the many voices of food. [The door] That is the portal for the passing of the food. [A moped] That is one of the many food transportation vehicles. [food trucks] Humans bring the food, take the food, ship the food, they drive the food, they wear the food! That gets the food hot. That keeps the food cold. That... I'm not sure what that is. What do you know? Food! That is the altar where they worship food. That's what they eat when they eat too much food. That gets rid of guilt so they can eat more food. Food, food, food, food! FOOOOOD!!! So, you think they have enough? Well, they don't. For humans, enough is NEVER enough! And what do they do with the stuff they don't eat? They put it in gleaming, silver cans, just for us.

Penny
[He dumps the trash down.]

Sweet jeepers.

RJ
[Animals cheers]

Dig in! Good, isn't it?

Heather
[Everyone started to rummage through the trash.]

Wow.

Penny

Share there, everyone, share.

RJ

Uh, that's a baby diaper. And that does come out of a wazoo. So, what do you think? Was I right or was I right? And these things are just the scraps! Wait'll you see what comes in the boxes, packages and cans! I'm telling you, stick with me, and in one week we will gather enough food to... To feed a bear!

RJ
[Everyone stared at him.]

Just a figure of speech.

Tiger
[They heard a sound of a door opening. Through the pet door is a cat. A cat named Tiger]

Halt! Intruders! Intruders! Get out, all of you.

[comes out the door]

What is it, baby?

RJ
[When she notice the animals, she freaks out.]

What are you doing?

Lou

Well, you said to lick our...

RJ

No! Nix that! RUN!

Penny
[They run for their lives as Gladys swings her broom.]

Run!

Get outta here! Shoo!

To the hedge!

Get out of here! I just mopped this patio! Filthy vermin!

Penny
[They made it out of the backyard and back to the forest.]

Verne's right, that was horrible.

Lou

You kids okay? Hon, you alright there?

Heather

We'll find other food, right?

See what I mean? That's what I was talking about! These humans don't want us around!

RJ

So we scared her, and she overreacted. No biggie.

No biggie? OH! That is what we call a biggie.

RJ

Come on, think about the food. It was worth it for that food, huh? That stuff is to die for! [Ozzie faints] Let me rephrase that.

No, "to die for." You nailed that part. Look, maybe our little forest life looks primitive to a guy with a bag.

RJ

What?

But I think I speak for the whole family when I say we want NOTHING to do with ANYTHING THAT’S OVER THAT HEDGE!

RJ

Oh, come on!

I'm done.

RJ

You haven't even tried doughnuts yet! You wanna store fat? That is the way to store some fat. You'll be sweatin' through the winter! -

Heather

We'll eat the bark, right?

RJ

OK, all right, you guys sleep on it! Good idea. I'm gonna check back with you. Shoot! Almost had 'em.

[Later, RJ had settled himself up on a tree.]

Good night, Heather.

Heather

Good night.

Good night, Ozzie.

Ozzie

Good night.

Good night, Lou.

Lou

Good night there Verne.

Night, Penny.

Penny

Good night.

Good night, Hammy.

Good night Verne.

Night, Bucky.

Bucky

Good night.

Good night, Spike.

Good night, Uncle Verne.

Good night, Quillo.

Night, Uncle Verne.

When we wake up, only 273 days left till winter.

That's enough, Verne.

Good night, 273.

RJ

Spuddies... Cooler... Wagon... Redder wagon.

Time's up, RJ.

RJ

But I have six more days!

Not again. Dang it! Those things are so lifelike. Curse you, plastic moldsman.

RJ

OK, Hammy. Hammy! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. No, no, no, no, no, no, no! Hammy, I told you that cookie's junk!

But I like a cookie.

What's going on? Is everything OK?

RJ

Here we go! Come on, Hammy, come on. Follow the pretty light. There it is, that's it. That's it, that's it. There it is. Go get it. That's it, that's it. Go get it, you little nut! Bingo! OK, step two.

I thought we'd be dead by step two, so this is going great!

RJ

Alright, gorgeous, you're on. [pushes Stella out of the bushes]

[to herself]

Man, this better be one stupid cat.

RJ

Audio, go!

[The animals activate a Fisher Price barnyard animal toy. see n say the farmer says. But makes a cow noise]

She's supposed to be a cat. Put it on cat. Maybe the cat likes the cow. Let's hope the cat likes the cow.

Tiger
[busts out of his pet door]

Who goes there?!

RJ
[to Stella]

You're a cat! You're a cat!

[to Tiger]

You're a cat! [RJ facepalms] I mean, I'm a cat. Uh, meow!

Tiger

Yeah. Right. Shoo. Scurry off! Go on! Get away from here! My owner does not give scraps to common strays.

Common strays? Alright, you asked for it! [gets ready to spray Tiger]

RJ
[whispers]

Get the collar!

Gee, that's a nice collar you got on. Mind if I have a look?

Tiger

No, no, no! Come no closer! I must not be so near a creature of the outdoor woods! [sneezes into his arm and wipes it onto his face] Away with your filth!

My filth? [the animals gasp] My filth?!

Penny

Oh, jeepers, here we go!

Okay, that's it! I am so sick and tired of everybody taking one look at me and running away because they think I'm filthy! Well, I've got news for you, I didn't get all primped and preened to have some overfed pompous puffball tell me he's too good for me! I got makeup on my butt, dude, and you don't even want to know about the cork!

Tiger

STOP! No one has ever spoken to me like that! [the animals gasp; Stella startled] It is bold. I like it. [RJ and Verne smile at each other, and Stella is shown surprised]

Well, believe me, there's more where that came from... -...puffball.

RJ

All right, team, let's boogie.

Tiger

You are strong. Your essence is overpowering.

What...? What do you mean by that?

Tiger

It is your eyes.

My eyes.

Tiger

They are luminous.

Luminous? Dang.

You know, I think this is the part where I blacked out. Did the little shoes and cars actually get into the house?! [He throwing cat collar]

So you got a name?

Tiger

Yes. It is a Persian name, for I am Persian. I was born Prince Tigeriess Mahmood Shabaz. [Everyone gets inside the house.]

That's a mouthful. Can I just call you Tiger?

RJ

Whoa!

Heather

This place is huge.

Wicked cool.

RJ

Animals are in the house.

All

Wow!

Lou

Oh, my goodness.

Heather

This is so cool.

RJ

Yes! OK, stations, everybody.

Ozzie

Let's boogie!

Heather

We got it.

RJ

Here we go.

No grip, no grip, no grip.

RJ

Hammy! Less claw, more pad.

Oh, OK. That hurt.

[turns for the THX Logo on]

Uh-oh!

Tiger

What was that?

It....That's just for the sound of my heart. Can't you hear it? [She imitates the deep note while Spike kept on being blown away]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

This way, that way! [he and Bucky switches for the channel to Gladys sleeping. Quillo falls over for the THX logo]

RJ

Okay, okay, we're good! Go back to work!

Penny

There you go. [Ozzie throws a can to Penny, who throws it to Spike, who throws it to Heather]

Heather
[to Verne]

Here, catch! [Verne catches for the can then throws it to Lou. Lou rolls for the can down a transparent paper roll and then Hammy grabs can by can and puts it into the wagon. Penny jumps off a cupboard with marshmallows stuck on her quills and grabs a cookie box]

Lou
[tries to hold a plate of strawberry gelatin]

Oh, boy. [drops the plate, gasps, Heather catches the plate of gelatin. Hammy still catches the food slide down the transparent sheet]

RJ

Yes! We're gonna make it.

Tiger
[while Hammy catches the food and puts it in the wagon behind him]

My father.... he had an exceptionally flat face. It was so beautiful, he could barely breathe!

Fascinating! [The mountain of food for the wagon grows until morning]

Tiger

...Inside, I have a multi-leveled climby thing with a shag carpet. Come, I'll show you!

NO, no! I-I-I haven't told you about my life.

RJ

Good, good! Going great, going great! [a coffee machine beeps]

[pointing at the coffee machine; to RJ]

What is that?

RJ

That is what gets the humans out of bed for the morning. [he and Verne turn to the TV showing Gladys' bed, where she has vanished, and scream in horror]

Where'd she go?!

[seeing Gladys coming down the stairs]

Get down and stay down! [Bucky, Quillo, and Spike hide under a magazine, while the rest of the animals run behind the counter. Gladys yawns] Move, move! [Gladys pours coffee into a cup. The animals, including RJ, scootch up to look closer. Gladys opens a cabinet and pulls out a box.... with a can of Spuddies behind] C'mon, we've gotta go before she comes back.

RJ
[short pause; to Verne]

No, not without those Spuddies!

What?

RJ

Lou, Penny? Back to the TV! Heather, keep an eye on that human!

Heather

I'm on it, RJ. [runs for the staircase]

Ozzie

No, Heather, wait! [runs after her]

[begins to feel his tail tingle again; to himself]

The tingle, the tingle. [to RJ] RJ, the wagon's full! Let's get out of here!

RJ

Hang on, Vincent! This will only take a second!

'Vincent'?

RJ
[jumpy]

WHERE?!

Who's Vincent?

RJ

Oh. Verne, Vincent, simple slip of the bear...TONGUE! Uh, erm.... Just bear with me is what I.... meant to say. There's no bear!

[RJ climbs the bottle rack to go for the Spuddies. Meanwhile, Heather is trying to distract Gladys by copying Ozzie]

Hmm? Oh!

Heather

Lights fading, limbs growing co.... [Gladys pathetically she kicks Heather down the stairs while Ozzie watches in horror]

Ozzie

Heather? [As Gladys walks down the stairs, she realizes that she made herself sick by killing Heather. She runs back upstairs into her room. Ozzie runs towards what seems to be Heather's lifeless body] Oh, Heather.

[Meanwhile, she's talking to the Verminator on the phone]

There's a dead white rat on my staircase! [Heather's eyes suddenly open. It turned out she was playing dead]

Ozzie

I thought you were dead.

Heather

I learned for the best, Dad.

Ozzie
[proudly]

That's my girl.

RJ
[cut to the kitchen in struggles to retrieve Gladys' Spuddies from the cabinet]

Oh, come...to Papa.

Ozzie
[returns to the animals with Heather]

We better hurry. We don't have much time.

[tries to stop RJ by grabbing his tail]

What's going on, RJ?

RJ

Nothing.

Well then, let's get out of here, because we have what we need.

RJ

No, we don't.

What are you talking about? [pulls on RJ's tail] We have more than enough!

RJ
[snaps]

Hey! Listen, I've got about this long to hand over that wagon load of food to a homicidal bear! [for the other animals gasp at RJ's confession] And if these Spuddies aren't on the menu, then I will be! Now, let go of my tail!

[horrified]

What?

RJ
[Pauses; growls, angrily kicks Verne's arm off]

Let GO! [As RJ grabs the Spuddies, Verne and RJ fall down which makes the bottles and pans crash, letting Stella, Tiger and Gladys hear the noise]

Uh, I'm sorry, I've gotta go! [leaves]

Tiger

Stella?! Stella, where are you going?! STELLAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! [Gladys runs into the kitchen and screams that the animals are inside as RJ and Verne screams and runs away as Stella returns to the kitchen as he follows her] Stella!

Look, it's not you! It won't work, okay? Because I'm a... [Gladys sees her]

[screams; lifts her leg]

SKUUUUUUUUUUUUNK!

Yeah, that. [Gladys screams and runs] Sorry you have to see this. FIRE IN THE HOLE! [Stella sprays an entire house. The Stink explodes like a bomb, and a cork flies out. At the same time, the Verminator van arrives. Gladys coughs]

[to Tiger]

The smell doesn't bother you?

Tiger

No. This face was bred for beauty. I can't smell a thing.

You can't smell...

[RJ turns and looks at Verne then runs out through the cat door.]

To the door! Go, go, go, go, go, go! [Gladys blocks the door without noticing the animals.] Run! [Suddenly, Dwayne kicks down the other door while wearing a gas mask. The animals (except RJ who is not here) are shocked.]

Let's party! [The animals run away.] BUNNIES!!! [Dwayne accidentally traps Gladys's bunny slippers in a net.]

Aah! [falls over]

Tiger

Flee, my love! [Dwayne shoots at Stella, but Tiger pushes her out of the way, getting caught in the net.]

[to Stella]

RUN! [to the rest] That way, outside! [As Verne, Hammy, Stella, Ozzie, Heather, Penny, Lou, Bucky, Quillo and Spike try to escape the house by going through the glass door they forgot it was shut and the slam into and slide down it. Dwayne finally has the animals where he has them.]

[to Verne]

Buenos dias... reptile. [Dwayne finally catches the animals in with his net gun, then black background.]

You guys wanna party, do you? All right then! Let's Party!

[Dwayne continues to zap RJ and Verne in the hedge and Vincent claws the hedge]

Mom!

RJ

Kids! Penny, Lou, look out! Down! That's it! Verne, get everybody out of here. I'll distract him.

Are you crazy? He'll kill you.

RJ

Well, I'm the one he wants. Take care of your family, Verne.

I intend to. The whole family. There's got to be something we can do.

RJ

There's no time.

RJ and Verne

Hammy!

RJ
[pops out from the top of the hedge]

Hey, Vincent, you were right! [holds up a potato chip] With a Spuddie, enough just isn't enough! [then eats the potato chip]

[last words; outraged]

RJ!!!

Ozzie

Now, Hammy. Go, go, go!
[Hammy starts to go crazy as the camera zooms in on his eye, which widens greatly. Cut to the Earth, which slows down and stops spinning completely. Hammy is moving so fast it looks like time itself has stopped. Hammy looks around. Everyone and everything is completely frozen, except for him. He walks past The frozen Dwayne and Gladys before turning on the Depelter Turbo to the highest setting. He then notices the cookie on the roof of Gladys' house. He eats it and dodges the slow moving lasers. He then gets an idea. He places the lawn gnome trap underneath Dwayne's foot. As time slowly resumes, a naked Verne pulls the shell-wearing RJ out of Vincent's mouth. RJ salutes goodbye to Vincent as the bear lands on top of Dwayne and Gladys, setting off the lasers]

That's the--

The Depelter Turbo. Prepare for a lot of stinging! Oh, no! No, no! No, no! No! [A powerful beam of light flashes, reaching all the way to space, destroyed a satellite. Cut to the Milky Way Galaxy, where a small, white light is seen glowed brighter than the other stars. The animals roasting marshmallows and pops popcorn as they watched the three villains getting incinerated by the beam of light]

My hair! Ouch!

That stung like I knew it would! [The three villains are completely fried, nearly completely bald, and trapped in a cage]

All

Whoo-hoo!

Heather

Yeah!

We did it!

All

Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!

Good job, everybody. That's teamwork.

RJ

Come here, Hammy. Come here. You are a genius, my boy.

Oh, thank [burps] you!

Eegh!

RJ

And, Verne, don't you ever fix this shell!

Yeah. Glad it's working for ya. Take it off, give it back.

Ranger
[In the neighborhood, two animal rangers carry Vincent away, relocating him to the Rocky Mountains]

Here we go, off to the Rockies for you, Smokey.

Police Officer
[At the same time, a scorched up Gladys and Dwayne are lead away in handcuffs by the police for possessing the illegal and inhumane Depelter Turbo]

Now, you do realize that was a Depelter Turbo?

[desperate, wanting arrest to go to jail]

Officer, please! It was the Verminator! He sold it to me! This has nothing to do with me!

Police Officer

Hey, hey! It was in your yard. Your name's on the contract, so you can tell it to the judge.

NO! It's not my fault! Let go of me! [She shoves the officer in a panic-filled rage.]

Police Officer

Ma'am.

[last words]

I CAN'T BE ARRESTED! I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION!? [She attacks the police officer in the face. She tries to run but another cop tackles her]

Cop

Take her down! [The other Police Officer gets back up and body-slams her.]

She's getting away!

Police Officer

We got a twitcher! Watch it! Ma'am! [Dwayne tries to take advantage of the cop's attention on fighting Gladys.]

[to the cops]

Get her! [sneaks away and she karate-kicks one of the officers. They all continue fist fighting as Dwayne walk away in the climbs fence.]

Police Officer
[faintly]

Stop that! Can I get help over here? [as Dwayne climbs over a fence] Somebody get a hold of her legs! [Dwayne then accidentally steps on a squeaky toys off-screen]

[off-screen]

Play?!?

[last words]

Oh, no. No, no! No, no! NO! [a bite was heard, results him to screams in pain. Cuts in the hedge and animals cheers]

Heather

High five, Hammy!

Yes! It worked! It worked! We did it!

Oh, yes!

Tiger
[off-screen]

STELLAAAAAAAAAA!!! STELLA!!!

Over here, Tiger!

Tiger

Oh, Stella! Ah, so this is the outdoor woods? I like it.

Come on, big boy. You're coming with me.

You know, RJ, uh, just for the record, if you had told us that all that food you were trying to get was to pay back an angry bear, we would have given it to you.

RJ

Really?

Yeah, that's what families do. They look out for each other.

RJ

I never really had anything like that.

I know, but believe me, this...This is the gateway to the good life.

RJ

Really wish you've told me that sooner.

Well, that's bad communication. Also something families do. So, what do ya say? Wanna be part of it?

Come here, come here. I promised I wouldn't do this. OK.

Ozzie

Welcome to the family!

RJ

Hey!

Heather

Group hug!

RJ

OK, OK.

What a first week of spring, huh? Wait a minute! That means there's only 267 days left till winter. What are we gonna do for food?!

RJ

Yes, Hammy.

I filled the log.

Penny

Jeepers!

Lou

What...?

LOOK, LOOK! I FOUND MY NUTS! [slams into the camera]
