A scene from Over the Hedge 2006
Skeeter

Wow!

Boy

Touch it.

Skeeter

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.

Verne
[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?

Skeeter

Maybe we knocked his brains loose or something.

Verne

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]

Skeeter

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.

Verne

Everybody, get out of here right now!

RJ

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

Verne

What?

Hammy

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.

Stella

Get down.

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

Oh, no.

Dwayne
[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.

Dwayne

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

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

Leave it. Leave it!

Dwayne

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

Debbie

I think he's dead.

Dwayne

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.

Dwayne
[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.

Dwayne
[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!

Dwayne

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

Verne

Reptile.

Dwayne

No. Reptile.
