Gladys Sharp
[to Janis]

Did I just hear them say, "rabid squirrel?" [Janis: I think they might just be overreacting.] But, what if they're not? What if we have a potential pandemic on our hands? Vermin running loose, spreading disease, and lowering our property values? [Janis: Yeah. I have a casserole in the oven. Gotta run. (walks away)] Fine. You worry about your casserole, and I'll worry about the end of suburban peace and tranquility!

Gladys Sharp
[exits her house and spits out her coffee, seeing the neighborhood in a mess, and calls a number on her phone]

Hello? I need every business listing you have under "exterminator."

Gladys Sharp

Debbie? I don't remember seeing a permit out for a gathering. Groups of more than one who wish to get... [sees Ozzie lying on the ground, playing dead; screams in alarm]

Gladys Sharp
[after Dwayne sets up a lot of animal traps in her backyard to keep animals off her property while RJ watches from inside the hedge]

Did you put this one in? This Depelter Turbo? [Dwayne: That's a contraband item, ma'am, as it is illegal in every state, except Texas.] I don't care if this thing's against the Geneva Conventions. I want it! [Dwayne: (chuckles) I thought you might. So I took the liberty of installing it for you.]

Gladys Sharp
[attacking RJ and the woodland animals along with Dwayne and Vincent while cutting the hedge with a string trimmer]

Show your rat little faces! Filthy creatures! [zoom out, showing the three villains attacking them on both sides of the hedge as they're cornered inside] STAY IN THE WOODS WHERE YOU BELONG!

Gladys Sharp
[last words while she and Dwayne are both being arrested by the police for illegally possessing a Depelter Turbo; begging desperately]

No! It's not my fault! LET GO OF ME! [Police Officer: Ma'am.] I CAN'T BE ARRESTED! [Police Officer: Excuse me...] I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION!

Oh, hey there, little... ...fella.

[The dragonfly gets killed by a bug zapper. Verne backed away and bumps into a sprinkler]

Hi.

[Water bursts on him making him land on a column. He runs away from the glass ball and gets caught on it.]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Phone toy
[He jumps into utensils and almost dodged the knives. One landed on the hose, causing water to spurt everywhere. He gets caught and land on a toy car.]

Operator. Can I help you?

Gladys
[First Words]

No, I can talk. I'm just driving.

[He ducks behind a car and landed on the ground. Then he gets spun around and landed back into the forest]

Verne's back.

Bucky

Verne!

Penny

Jeepers!

Lou

You OK?

Help him up.

Ozzie

What was over there?

Freaky pink primates! They must have come while we were hibernating. It was awful. They had wheels on their feets...[RJ hops onto a tree, listening to their conversation] ...and there sticks, and they were whacking me with sticks like it was some sort of sick game.

Ozzie

You should have died! You should have laid down and died!

Heather

Dad.

That's not the worst part. Half the forest is gone. The oak trees and the berry bushes, they're just... they're just... gone.

Penny

Jeepers.

What'll we do for food?

How are we gonna live? [Vernes looks at his family]

I don't know. But here's what I do know. We will be fine as long as no one goes over Steve again.

RJ
[off-screen]

It's called a hedge. [the animals all look up at him with a ray of light shining on him; introducing himself] And it is not to be feared, my amphibious friend. It is the gateway to the good life.

I'm a reptile, actually. But, you know, it's a common mistake. And, uh, you are?

RJ

Where are my manners. [walks off the tree branch] I'm RJ. [the branch smacks on Verne's face] Now please don't think I'm prying, but I couldn't help overhearing, [throwing out items from his bag while looking through] and I can shed a little light on what this whole hedge situation is about. [takes out a map] You see, what was once mere wilderness is now 54 acres of man-made, manicured, air-conditioned paradise. Except for that little-bitty speck. [takes out a magnifying glass, showing a red circle surrounding their location] You are here. [the animals gasp in shock] No, no, that's a good thing. You're hibernators, right? You gather up a bunch of food, store it away for the winter?

Uh-huh. We fill the log!

Hammy!

RJ

Really? This log? This cave-like log?

Ozzie

All the way to the top.

Ozzie!

RJ
[measures the log with a measuring tape]

Let me ask ya, how long's it takes, you know, to fill the log?

Heather

274 Days.

RJ

Ooh! Ever done it in a week?

That's impossible.

RJ

Not if we work together. You see, you got the food-gathering skills, I got the know-how, and they have the food.

Heather

How much food?

RJ

Loads of food! Heaps of food! Food out the wazoo!

Well, whatever kind of food comes out of a wazoo, I don't think we're interested in eating it.

Lou

I don't know, the guy's making a lot of sense to me. I think we should listen.

Penny

Yeah, I'm OK with wazoo food here.

No, you're not. The tail is tingling.

RJ
[confused]

Hold on, hold on. The what is what?

When something doesn't feel right, my tail tingles, and let me tell you something, everything you've said so far is driving my tail crazy.

RJ

Listen. Verne, right? This isn't something you need to be afraid of.

Well, I am. And for good reason. This is not a birthmark.

RJ
[cleans up Verne's shell with a toothbrush]

Aw, that's because you went over there without a guide, Verne.

Whatever. Thanks for stopping by. We're not interested.

RJ

Not interested in the most delicious food you've ever tasted?

No!

RJ

Come on.

Not! Interested!

RJ

OK. I get it. I understand. This is something that you're just not open to.

Penny
[He opens a bag of chips. The orange cloud dust covers everyone up and they were blown back against the log and rocks.]

Jeepers.

What is THAAAT!?

RJ

That, my friend, is a magical combination of corn flour, dehydrated cheese solids, BHA, BHT, and good old MSG, a.k.a., the chip. Nacho cheese flavor.

[He gives some chips to the woodland animals.]

Over here! Toss me one of those!

More please! More.

Yeah, Verne, those were good!

RJ

It's all good! And we're going over there, tonight! Yeah!

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.

Gladys
[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.

Gladys

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.

[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.

Gladys
[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!

Gladys

Get outta here! Shoo!

To the hedge!

Gladys

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!

RJ
[Verne made his way back to see RJ giving out cookies to the woodland animals.]

That's right. Don't push. Plenty for everybody. Got a box right over here for ya, Penny.

Penny

Jeepers, that is good. Kids, eat up! Anything that tastes this good has to be good for you.

RJ

You feel that buzz in the back of your skull?

Penny

Yeah.

RJ

That's called a sugar rush. It's what keeps humans going. It's why they don't hibernate. You top that off with a little of this, and what usually takes you all summer is only gonna take us a week.

RJ
[Hammy is about to drink the energy soda can. But RJ he stop him.]

Hold on, Hamsquad. The last thing you need is caffeine. That's right. Come on, dig in. Because this, my friends, is just the beginning.

What?

[All night, the animals started stealing food to fill up the log. RJ gives the porcupine kids down the grass to steal backpacks and a few game consoles. Later on, they steal Gladys food and pizza boxes, much to her anger. RJ and Heather listen to music on a Walkman, The porcupine parents used their quills and steal hot dogs. They play cards in the night]

Read it and weep.

Gladys
[At a birthday party, Stella popping out of a birthday cake, causing the kids screaming in horror and running away, then RJ and the gang snatches the food, and marks the paper and placing to the hedge, Once Gladys left her house, she saw the destruction in the neighborhood and goes to get her phone call.]

Hello? I need every business listing you have under "exterminator."

[RJ is on a tree, checking the list that the ice cooler is next. He gets a plan and tells the animals to get ready. Verne is still being left out until he heard a car screech and a thud.]

Ozzie!

Timmy
[He heads over. There are boys named skeeter and timmy. Looking down at Ozzie, who is playing dead.]

Whoa, Mom! You hit a possum.

Debbie

Oh, my goodness.

Do you think it's dead?

Oh, no.

Wow!

Boy

Touch it.

Can I poke him?

Debbie

No! These poor little creatures.
Shelbyː What's going on.

Mackenzie

Come check it out. It's a dead possum.

Gladys
[The animals made their way to the cooler while the humans gathered around.]

Debbie? I don't remember seeing a permit app for a gathering. Groups of more than one who wish to get... AAAH!

Debbie
[to her son]

Timmy, get the shovel from the car.

Ozzie
[Ozzie gasps. RJ motions for Ozzie to do something.]

Lights fading, limbs growing cold. - I see a tunnel.

[dismayed]

Oh, no.

Ozzie

Mother, is that you beckoning me into the light? Must move toward the light.

Timmy

What do you think he's doing?

Maybe we knocked his brains loose or something.

I'm tellin' you, you went to far this time. Let's get out of here and leave this [picks up the blue cooler] You're dangerous! You're insane?!

RJ

Nice catch Verne.

Ozzie

Yes! Yes! Sweet mother, I'm going HOME! [coughs] Goodbye, cruel world!? [notices the flowerpot on the sidewalk] Oh! Ooh! [Whispers] Rosebud. [groans as he spins around, then falls on the ground and passes out]

Now can I poke him?

Debbie

No!

Gladys

You see? This is exactly why I called the exterminator, to kill them before they get hurt like this.

Everybody, get out of here right now!

RJ

Right! Kids, grab those handles. Get the stuff.

What?

Here we go. I threw out my back.

RJ
[They carry the cooler but they hit a mailbox, causing the food to be spilled out. Verne looked and saw what appears to be a truck.]

Let's go.

Get down.

[They gather up the food and hide. Vern hides behind the car and watches the truck arrive.]

Oh, no.

[Shelby gasps Amazed] [First Words]

Ha! I believe someone phoned about an animal problem? The solution is standing before you. Dwayne LaFontant is here.

Gladys

Where have you been? I'm throwing a "Welcome to the Neighborhood" party, tomorrow and so far Debbie's car has killed more animals than you have.

Stand down, sister. I personally guarantee that there will not be a living thing at this party. The Verminator is on the job.

[The animals continue gathering the food into the cooler.]

Leave it. Leave it!

Now, what do we have here? [inhales] Didelphis marsupialis virginianus. Approximately ten pounds. [inhales] Male.

Debbie

I think he's dead.

Oh, really? Do you in fact have a associates degree from VermTech? I think he wants you to think he's dead.

Lou
[The animals drag the cooler into the hedge.]

Go! Go!

RJ

Move, move! That's it! Run! Go, voluntary shock state.

[RJ look back at Ozzie signals winked back]

Look at him closely. You can see him breathing.

Gladys

I certainly hope he's not in any pain.

[Ozzie leaps up and runs to the hedge.]

What the...?

Gladys

AAHH! Kill it! Kill it!

Ozzie

Thank you all for coming! You were a great audience!

Boys

Oh, man!

All right, what am I up against here? Possum, porcupine, skunk, squirrel, raccoon, amphibian.

Reptile.

No. Reptile.

RJ
[RJ comes out of the hedge and sees Verne pulling the wagon of food away from the forest.]

Verne. What are you doing?

I'm getting things back to the way they were.

RJ

No, don't. How about I just leave? [picks up the Spuddies and placed it back on the pile]

Good. You leave, and I return this stuff to the rightful owners.

RJ

What?! Why?

Because we've angered the humans. And we don't wanna end up like that rabbit. Hence, I'm giving this back so they won't kill us.

RJ

Verne, you don't understand! We need this stuff!

No, we don't!

RJ

You can't take it!

Yes, I can!

RJ

Let go!

You let go!

RJ

I have to have it.

No!

RJ
[Verne pulled the wagon and RJ fell. Once he got up, he notice what appears to be a chain that is attached to a doghouse. He gasps, dropping the chain.] [quietly]

Verne. Move slow, keep your voice low and follow me.

What?

RJ

SSShhhhh!

No!

RJ

SSShhhhh!

No! I'm not falling for any more of your smooth talk! I don't know what you're up to, but my entire shell is tingling. Know what? I'm listening to it this time, and I'm putting my foot down.

RJ

No, no. [A dog named Nugent]

Play? [Squeaky Toys]

???

Play! Play, play, play! Play, play, play, play, play! Play!

Toy Doll
[RJ gets string caught on a Y-shaped stick]

Let's play!

Play? [camera perspective changes] Play! Play! Play!

RJ

Down, boy. Sit. Roll over!

Play!

RJ

Play dead!

Play!

RJ

Attaboy, Verne. Save the food, I'll lose the dog.

Play.

Huh?!

Play, play, play, play. Play, play, play, play.

Oh, no! No, no, no, no.

RJ

You're dropping all the food, man! Here, catch.

Play!

RJ

Are you hungry? Look, food! [The dog went around the man cooking hot dogs, the gas tank got attached to the wagon.]

BBQ Barry

Oh, my back!

RJ

Look, people! Play with them!

Lunch Table Larry

Look out!

Woman

Stop! What's he doing?

Lunch Table Larry

What was that?

Play, play, play, play.

I'm all right, I'm fine. It's okay. It's... [The tank gets released, making the wagon go faster.]

RJ

Verne, unhook the chain! [The take is off chain on the dog got released.]

Play!

RJ

No! [He catches chips] Yes. [The wagon went straight up the slide and into the air]

Oh!

RJ

Dah!

Oh, boy.

RJ

WHOA! [the wagon had stopped flying and then started to fall. While that happens, the chips went flying out of the can] Verne, I told you to unhook the chain!m[The wagon begins falling. Verne leaps onto an umbrella and so did RJ with the can of chips. He drop it.]

Gladys

Garbage cans are not to be on the curb before eight... [The wagon and cooler fell into her car, and it exploded.]

You're the devil.

Both

AAAAAHHHHH!!!' [They fall into ack to the forest where the other animals wonder where Verne and RJ are before they backed away. RJ and Verne land on the ground but the food is all gone.]

RJ
[devastated]

No...! [covers his mouth] No...!

Lou

Verne, are you alright there!? Gimme a hand, Oz.

Ozzie
[gets up]

Oh, sure, sure.

Penny

What the heck happened?

RJ

It's gone. The food! GOOOOOOOONE!

What?

Heather

Gone?

How's it gone?

RJ

Ask... HIM! [angrily points at Verne]

Penny

Verne?

[annoyed and resigned]

I returned it to its rightful owners.

Lou and Ozzie

WHAT?! [they drop Verne]

Heather

We, like, worked our tails off, y'know? Like a lot! And the food we gathered was totally...you know! And you're...you're all whatever!

Ozzie

Yeah, Verne, What were you thinking?! The log was full!

Full of junk. [Ozzie is appalled as are the others]

Lou

Oh, so what're ya saying there? That the food we gathered our way isn't as good as the food we gathered your way? [he and Ozzie walk away]

Your way? [referring to RJ] You mean his way. Can't you see RJ's just using you?

Penny
[gasps]

Verne! Shame on you, RJ wouldn't do that!

You've gotta trust me on this! Don't you understand that there is something wrong with this guy? My tail tingles every time I get near him!

Oh, so we're supposed to go all hungry 'cause your butt's vibratin'? I'm startin' to think that tingle of yours is just you bein' jealous!

Jealous? Of him?!

Lou

Yeah! He's embracing the future there, and now you're just holding us back!

Oh, I hold you back, alright! From extinction! [to RJ] You see what you've done here? If they listened to half of the stuff that you're telling them, they'll be dead within a week! You are only interested in taking advantage of them because they are too stupid and naive to know any better!?

[the animals having heard what Verne said, he was heartbroken]

I'm not stupid.

[turns to the animals, who are shocked and appalled]

Okay, I didn't mean, um...I mean ignorant. To the ways over-over there. C'mon, you guys. You know I didn't mean it like that. [the animals start to walk away] Don't-Don't do this. Stella? Ozzie? [turns to Hammy] Hammy, you know I didn't... [Hammy pushes his hand away] Hammy?

I'm not stupid. [walks away]

[shocked]

Please. [Hammy takes RJ's hand and RJ shakes his head at Verne. as Verne witnessed that, he sighs with grief and sadly begins to walk the other direction]

Good night, Uncle RJ.

RJ

Good night, kiddo.

Moon's full, RJ. See ya in the morning.

[RJ sighs and looked at the children before he pulled out his list. He hears something coming from the backyard.]

This'll cut you down to size!

[He looks over to see Dwayne putting traps around the backyard.]

I got ya!

Gladys

Is it done?

Affirmative.

Gladys

And did you put this one in? [after installed a lot of traps] What about this one, this Depelter Turbo?

That's a contraband item, ma'am, as it is illegal in every state, [with his hand over his heart] except Texas.

Gladys

I don't care if this violates the Geneva Conventions, I want it.

I thought you might, so I took the liberty of installing it for you. [as he tosses a stuffed teddy bear in it] Adios, animal infestation.

RJ
[horrified at the sight before him]

'AHHHHH!!! [We see it in a cage, with outside burned off]

Gladys

Oh my. [chuckles, laughing] [RJ sits on the root, looks up at the full moon, pulls out the list, and sadly crumpled it up]

RJ
[to himself]

What have I done?

I shouldn't have taken all that food.

RJ

What?

I shouldn't have taken all that food. I was just trying to return things to the way they were. That's all. I was just being cautious, 'cause that's what I am. I'm naturally tentative. There's even places in my shell I haven't been. You, on the other hand. You're, like, cool and crazy and fearless. [sits down next to RJ] I think they're right. I think I'm just jealous.

RJ
[sighs]

Verne, believe me. You should not be jealous of me. You...You got a good thing here. You're just trying to do what's best for your family.

And I think you're what's best for them now.

RJ

What about your tail?

Eh...My head says "listen to my tail," and my tail says "just listen to my head," and I just...end up with an upset stomach. That's why you need to be in charge now.

RJ

You don't really know what's going on here.

And you do! So...what's the problem?

RJ
[hands Verne his crumpled-up list]

This, Verne, is the problem. You see this? [hears the sound of a vehicle backing up]

I'm listening.

RJ

Just...

Uh-huh?

RJ

Just hang on a 2nd.

Alright.

Delivery Man
[RJ climbs up a tree to see Gladys having food delivered to her house]

Hey, uh, you the lady throwing the party?

Gladys

Yes. Just to the right. There are protected booties to put on over your shoes.

RJ
[sees a container of Spuddies in one of the boxes]

Yes! Yes!

[appears behind RJ with the list]

Um, uh, what is this?

RJ

What? Oh. That...

Mmm-hmm?

RJ

...is a...list...

Of?

RJ

...of all the stuff that you've lost, Verne.

Really?

RJ

Well, it's a big, long list. You can see that.

Well, you're an organized little guy, aren't ya? Nice job.

RJ

But, you know what? I know place that's so chockful of food, [takes the list from Verne] we can get it all back in one night.

Great. Let's go. Where is it?

RJ

Inside that house.

[leans over to get a view]

What? [falls off the branch]

RJ

Verne! [tries to catch Verne, but only grabs his shell; examines it] What is the point of this thing?

[from below; off-screen]

Just send it down.

RJ
[Scene switches to RJ talking to the other animals about Verne]

What Verne's trying to say is...I mean, it's hard to really sum it all in just one word...

[quietly stops RJ, to the animals]

I'm sorry.

Aww, come here!

RJ
[The animals all huddle up for a big group hug]

That's right. OK! Listen, stay in the huddle. Here's the plan. Now, the traps are set here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. Here, here, here, here. Big one here, here, - and maybe a few over here.

Gee, is that all?

RJ

No. There's a bunch of red lights all over here. OK, Verne? Looking a little green.

I blacked out for a second there, but I get the idea. There's lights, traps... I might need to change my shell.

RJ
[getting out Monopoly game pieces]

Okay, this is us.

Can I be the car?

Bucky

I wanna be the car!

I'm the car! You be the shoe.

Bucky

Shoe is lame.

Lou

Why don't you be that snazzy lookin' iron there?

RJ

Hey, it's not important! Besides, I'm the car! I'm always the car. The plan works in three simple steps. Step one, kill the lights. Step two, get inside. Step three, get out with mountain of food.

Ozzie

But this place is like a fortress. Walls, so high. Doors, impenetrable. How will we get in?

RJ

The collar is the key. Literally, the collar. It's like a key that opens the door and if...

And what? You think he's just gonna hand over his collar to you?

RJ

Not to me, my femme fatale. To you.

Her?

Me?

RJ

You, Stella, will get that cat to give you his collar by using...

My stink.

RJ

...your feminine charms.

Was that out loud?

Look, raccoon, maybe that mask you're wearing is obstructing your view, but if you haven't noticed, I'm a skunk.

RJ

On the outside, maybe. But I'm looking inside, Stella, and I see a fox. And all we gotta do is get her out.

RJ
[Later, the animals started to stylize Stella.]

Scissors.

Scissors?

Lou

Here we go.

Hey! Watch the...

Penny

Charcoal.

Charcoal?

RJ

Air freshener.

Ozzie

Tomato juice.

Cork.

Cork? Don't you dare.

Porcupine Kids

Get 'em! Score! Yeah!

RJ

One more thing.

Ow!

RJ

Whoa. Stop. That's it. Ladies and gentlemen, our work here is done.

Lou

Oh, my.

Penny

Big jeepers.

Heather

She's all like, wow.

What?

[Stella looked and saw that she was all black and she can see since her long bangs were cut off.]

Oh. Meow.

Whoa! Amazing!

Heather

Gosh, she looks... Wow.

RJ

All right, gang, this is it. We're going in.

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!

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.

[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]

...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!

Gladys
[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.

Gladys
[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]

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]

Gladys
[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?

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.]

Gladys

Aah! [falls over]

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've just been verminated. [turns to Gladys] Whoa. You stink.

Gladys
[angrily]

That's because you let them into my... house! [sobs] Those...

Hey, Nancy, stop you're honkin'! These little guys will be disposed of quickly and humanely.

Gladys

No, not humanely--as inhumanely as possible!

It was a pleasure doing business with you, ma'am. [The caged animals watched RJ leave with the wagon of food, feeling betrayed.]

Bucky

What's he gonna do to us, Mama?

Penny

I...I don't know, baby.

Heather
[clutches her arms around Ozzie while locked in a cage, about to be driven off for extermination]

I don't wanna die, Dad. Not for real.

Ozzie

There, there, sweetheart. We'll be okay. [Stella, from her cage holds Hammy's hand, who is in his own cage, scared]

Lou
[referring to RJ]

You were right about him, Verne. We should've listened. Sorry there.

No. [sits down] I knew we wouldn't trust him, and I got us into this. I should have known better.

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]

Gladys

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]

Gladys

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?

Gladys
[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.

Gladys

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

Police Officer

Ma'am.

Gladys
[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!

[off-screen]

STELLAAAAAAAAAA!!! STELLA!!!

Over here, 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]
