[edit]
  • Didn't you see it? It was in a box. They always got food with them. We eat to live, these guys live to... eat! Let me show you what I'm talking about. [as he speaks he shows the other animals what humans do] The human mouth is called a "pie hole". The human being is called a "couch potato". [signifies a telephone] That is a device to summon food. [signifies the doorbell; a woman running and into a door] That is one of the many voices of food. [signifies the front door; a deliverer carrying pizza box with a woman] That is the portal for the passing of food. [signifies a motorcycle] That is one of the many food transportation vehicles. Humans bring the food, take the food, ship the food, they drive the food, they wear the food! [signifies the grill] That gets the food hot! [signifies the cooler] That keeps the food cold! [signifies "turtle piñata"...with candy inside it] That...I'm not sure what that is. [kids break the turtle piñata and Verne yells in horror] Well, what do you know?! Food! [signifies table where family prays before dinner] That is the altar where they worship food. [signifies advert for Seltzer] That's what they eat when they've too much food. [signifies treadmill] That gets rid of the guilt so they can eat more food! Food, food, food, food! FOOD! So, you think they have enough? [everybody nods] 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. [opens the trash cans and knocks them over] Dig in! [the animals laugh and cheer while running into the garbage] Hmm? Good, ain't it?
  • ...And there they are. America's most coveted cookies. Love Handles, Skinny Mints, Neener-Neeners and Smackeroons! And guess what?! They're all yours! [Hammy jumps, but RJ stops him] Whoa, Hamilton! Hold on there, fella. I love your energy, but you just can't take them.

Verne

[edit]
  • [eats the bark; with mouthful] Okay. This is great. [eats the bark again, starts chewing and crunching] [mouthful] Granted, it takes some time to chew. But that... [swallows it] That was very satisfying. And, by the way, lots of fiber in there too. Mmm! [eats the bark, chewing] Lots.
  • You know, R.J. 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've given it to you.

Dialogue

[edit]
[First lines, RJ is trying to get a snack from the snack machine and it breaks]
R.J.: No! Come on!
Vincent: RJ? The moon's not full yet. You woke me up a week early? [notices R.J. has his food] Oh no. Don't tell me you're dumb enough to come up here and steal my stuff. RJ. I'm gonna have to kill you.
R.J.: Please, I'm just a desperate guy trying to feed his family.
Vincent: You don't have a family
R.J.: I meant a family of one.
[Advances on RJ]
R.J.: Ok, wait, wait wait, wait! Look, it's still in the cave, so technically, not stolen!
[Accidentally bumps into the wagon, sending it down the hill]
Vincent: Oh no. No! NO!
Vincent and R.J.: Sl-Slow!
R.J.: [groaning] Stop!
[The wagon stops, RJ and Vincent chuckle nervously at each other until a truck destroys the wagon and food]
Penny: [referring to the hedge] I'd be a lot less afraid if I just knew what it was called.
Hammy: Let's call it Steve!
Verne: Steve?
Hammy: It's a pretty name.
Heather: Steve sounds nice.
Penny: I'm a lot less scared of Steve.
Ozzie: [kneeling before the hedge] Oh, great and powerful Steve...what do you want?!
Verne: I-I don't think it can speak.
Debbie: [barely audible] I heard that, young man! [everybody screams, Ozzie faints] You get over here right now!
Hammy: Okay.
Verne: Hammy, get back here.
Hammy: But Steve is angry.
Verne: I think it came from the other side of Steve - I mean, the bush. I mean... Geez!
R.J.: [as he enters] I gotta admit, that does look tasty.
Verne: [spits out his bark] What are you doing here?
R.J.: I'm here to help you with your...foraging thing. [Verne still looks at him] Look, Verne, you said a word yesterday about your little gang here. It starts with an F, do you remember what it was?
Verne: [confused] Family?
R.J.: Right, right, that. You know, that got me right here. You see, Verne, I used to have all of that. My own place, surrounded by loved ones, universal remote. But then all that went away with...the weed hacker incident. [starts breaking down] Oh, God.
Hammy: Oh, come here! [runs to hug R.J., who pats him on the head]
Lou: Yeah, that feels good, doesn't it?
Verne: Oh, brother.
Penny: We could always use the extra hand there, you know.
Hammy: The weed hacker, Verne. The weed hacker.
R.J.: [gently pushes Hammy away] Okay. Not your problem. I'll just go. [turns to leave sadly] This is me...going. Really nice getting to know you. Hey, I'm sure I'll see you around the forest. Take care.
[Bucky hits Spike]
Penny: Don't hit.
[Ozzie poses dramatically while Heather rolls her eyes]
Hammy: [breaks down] Oh...
Verne: [gives in] All right, all right. Hey, uh, RJ? [RJ stops secret smirks] You can...You can stay.
RJ: WOO-HOO! [joyfully hugs Verne] Come here, ya big lug! I knew beneath this hard, crispy outside there was a soft, nougat-y center in there. [gives Verne a knucklehead down his shell] Do you mind if I call you Uncle Verne?
Verne: [sternly] With every bone in my body.
RJ: Great. Hey, can I work with Hammy? [walks with Hammy]
Hammy: Wanna help me find my nuts?
R.J.: Very tempting, Hammy. Very tempting, but first, I wanna show you...this! [shows Hammy a cookie] You like this cookie?
Hammy: Oh, ho, ho!
R.J.: Well, this cookie's junk! [throws the cookie out]
Hammy: [mournfully] But I like a cookie.
R.J.: Easy, easy, don't worry. I know where to find cookies so great, they'll hand delivered by personal owners.
Hammy: But you just said they're mine!
R.J.: They will be, if we successfully marry your manic energy to my brilliant plan. You with me, kid?
Hammy: I-I-I-I-I-I-
R.J.: The 'ayes' have it. Let's ride.
Shelby: I thought Mrs Johansson was to allergic to chocolate.
Mackenzie: Really.
R.J.: Now listen up. What we're going for here is a vicious, man-eating rabid squirrel. Can you handle that?
Hammy: [raises hand] Um, excuse me.
R.J.: Yes...Hammy?
Hammy: Rabbits aren't vicious, they're all cute and cuddly, so...
R.J.: Rabi-d, not rabbi-t.
Hammy: Oh... [confused] What?
Verne: I'm telling 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!
Ozzie: Sweet mother, I'm going HOME! [coughs] Goodbye, cruel world! [notices the flowerpot on the sidewalk] OHH! OHH! [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.
Dwayne: I believe someone phoned about an animal problem? The solution is standing before you. Dwayne LaFontant is here.
Gladys: Where have you been? I am 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 won't be a living thing at this party. The Verminator is on the job.
Verne: [whispers to R.J.] 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.
[The animals, except Verne, shows R.J. a surprise; his new home]
Stella: Check it out. [R.J. looks around at some random objects of his new home] Your new home!
Hammy: [gestures at the baby car seat] And look, we got a place for you right here!
R.J.: That's for me?
Lou: Yeah, is this anything like what you had, RJ?
R.J.: This isn't anything like what I had, Lou.
Hammy: [hands RJ a can of caffeine] Here, I'm not supposed to drink this.
R.J.: Thanks. [to Heather, who sits on RJ's bag] Oh. [clears his throat] Is that my bag?
Heather: Yeah, we brought it in here so you wouldn't have to sleep in that old tree.
R.J.: Really? Wow.
Bucky: Hey, RJ, check this out! We totally hooked up the TV.
Quillo: I hot-wired the HD converter.
Spike: We get like 1,000 channels!
Heather: Here, can you take the remote before my dad does?
R.J.: Wow. A universal remote? This is nice, guys. Really nice. [turns on the TV]
TV Announcer: And now, we return to "A Scoundrel Among Us".
Woman: You should be ashamed of yourself! We let you into our family, and you deceived us!
[R.J. changes the channel]
Man: I gave you my heart, and then you ripped it into a milion pieces!
[R.J. changes the channel again]
Dr. Dennis: Get real, Kevin. Because when you feel like a dirtbag, it's because you're a dirtbag, right? So just say it out loud: "I am a dirtbag."
Lou: "Dirtbag"? I don't think that guy's a real doctor. What've you think there, R.J.? [notices R.J. has gone] R.J.?
R.J.: [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?
R.J.: The food! It's gone! GOOOOOOOONE!
Heather: What?! Gone?!
Stella: How's it gone?!
R.J.: Ask...HIM! [points at Verne]
Penny: Verne?
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!
Verne: 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]
Verne: Your way? [referring to R.J.] You mean his way. Can't you see RJ's just using you?
Penny: [gasps] Verne! Shame on you! R.J. wouldn't do that!
Verne: 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!
Stella: 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!
Verne: Jealous? Of him?!
Lou: Yeah! He's embracing the future there, and now you're just holding us back!
Verne: [talks back to Lou] Oh, I hold you back all right; from extinction! [turns to R.J.] Do you see what you've done here? If they listen to half the stuff you're telling them, they'll be dead within a week! You are only interested in taking of them because they are too stupid and naive to know any better!
Hammy: [having heard what Verne said, he was heartbroken] I'm not stupid.
Verne: [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?
Hammy: I'm not stupid. [walks away]
Verne: [shocked] Please.
[Hammy takes R.J.'s hand and R.J. shakes his head at Verne. as Verne witnessed that, he sighs with grief and sadly begins to walk the other direction]
Gladys: [after installing a lot of traps] What about this one, this Depelter Turbo?
Dwayne: 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.
Dwayne: I thought you might, so I took the liberty of installing it for you. [as he tosses a stuffed bear in it] Adios, animal infestation.
R.J.: [horrified at the sight before him] AHHHHH!!!
[We see it in a cage, with outside burned off]
Gladys: Oh my. [chuckles, impressed]
[R.J. sits on the root, looks up at the full moon, pulls out the list, and sadly crumpled it up]
R.J.: [to himself] What have I done?
Verne: I shouldn't have taken all that.
R.J.: What?
Verne: 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 R.J.] I think they're right. I think I'm just jealous.
R.J.: [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.
Verne: And I think you're what's best for them now.
R.J.: What about your tail?
Verne: 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.
R.J.: You don't really know what's going on here.
Verne: And you do! So...what's the problem?
R.J.: [hands Verne his crumpled-up list] This, Verne, is the problem. You see this? [hears the sound of a vehicle backing up]
Verne: I'm listening.
R.J.: Just...
Verne: Uh-huh?
R.J.: Just hang on a second.
Verne: Alright.
[R.J. climbs up a tree to see Gladys having food delivered to her house]
Delivery Man: Hey, uh, you the lady throwing the party?
Gladys: Yes. Just to the right. There are protected booties to put on over your shoes.
R.J.: [sees a container of Spuddies in one of the boxes] Yes! Yes!
Verne: [appears behind R.J. with the list] Um, uh, what is this?
R.J.: What? Oh. That...
Verne: Mmm-hmm?
R.J.: ...is a...list...
Verne: Of?
R.J.: ...of all the stuff that you've lost, Verne.
Verne: Really?
R.J.: Well, it's a big, long list. You can see that.
Verne: Well, you're an organized little guy, aren't ya? Nice job.
R.J.: 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.
Verne: Great. Let's go. Where is it?
R.J.: Inside that house.
Verne: [leans over to get a view] What? [falls off the branch]
R.J.: Verne! [tries to catch Verne, but only grabs his shell; examines it] What is the point of this thing?
Verne: [from below; offscreen] Just send it down.
[Scene switches to R.J. talking to the other animals about Verne]
R.J.: What Verne's trying to say is...I mean, it's hard to really sum it all in just one word...
Verne: [quietly stops R.J., to the animals] I'm sorry.
Hammy: Aww, come here!
[The animals all huddle up for a big group hug]
R.J.: [getting out Monopoly game pieces] Okay, this is us.
Hammy: Can I be the car?
Bucky: I wanna be the car!
Spike: I'm the car! You be the shoe.
Bucky: Shoe is lame.
Lou: Why don't you be that snazzy lookin' iron there?
R.J.: Hey, it's not important! Besides, I'm the car! I'm always the car.
R.J.: Alright, gorgeous, you're on. [pushes Stella out of the bushes]
Stella: [to herself] Man, this better be one stupid cat.
R.J.: Audio, go!
[The animals activate a Fisher Price barnyard animal toy, but makes a cow noise instead of a cat noise]
Verne: 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?!
R.J.: [to Stella] You're a cat! You're a cat!
Stella: [to Tiger] You're a cat! [R.J. 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.
Stella: Common strays? Alright, you asked for it! [gets ready to spray Tiger]
R.J.: [whispers] Get the collar!
Stella: 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!
Stella: My filth? [the animals gasp] My filth?!
Penny: Oh, jeepers, here we go!
Stella: 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.
[R.J. and Verne smile at each other, and Stella is shown surprised]
Quillo: [turns for the THX Logo on] Uh-oh!
Tiger: What was that?
Stella: It...That's just for the sound of my heart. Can't you hear it?
Quillo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Spike: This way, that way! [he and Bucky switches for the channel to Gladys sleeping. Quillo falls over for the loud logo]
R.J.: 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 for the wagon. Penny jumps off of a cupboard with marshmallows stuck on her quills and grabs a cookie box]
Lou: [tries to hold a plate with strawberry gelatin] Oh, boy. [drops for the plate, gasps]
[Heather catches for the plate of gelatin. Hammy was still catching food sliding or rolling down for the transparent sheet]
R.J.: Yes! We're gonna make it.
Tiger: My father... he had an exceptionally flat face. It was so beautiful, he could barely breathe!
Stella: Fascinating!
[The mountain of food in the wagon has grown in the morning]
Tiger: ...Inside, I have a multi-leveled climby thing with a shag carpet. Come, I'll show you!
Stella: NO, no! I-I-I haven't told you about my life.
R.J.: Good, good! Going great, going great! [a coffee machine beeps]
Verne: [pointing for the coffee machine] What is that?
R.J.: That is what gets for the humans out of bed in the morning. [he and Verne turn for the TV where Gladys is gone]
R.J. and Verne: AAAAAAH!
Quillo: Where would she go? [Gladys comes down for the stairs]
Verne: Get down and stay down!
[Bucky, Quillo, and Spike hide under a magazine, for the rest of the animals run behind for the counter. Gladys yawns]
Verne: Move, move!
[Gladys pours for the coffee into a cup. The animals, including R.J., scootch up to look closer. Gladys opens for the cabinet and pulls out a box... with a can of Spuddies behind]
Verne: Come on, we've gotta go before she comes back.
R.J.: No, not without those Spuddies!
Verne: What?
R.J.: Lou, Penny? Back for the TV! Heather, keep an eye on that human!
Heather: I'm on it, RJ.
Ozzie: No, Heather, wait! [runs after Heather]
Verne: [begins to feel his tail tingle again] For the tingle, for the tingle. RJ, for the wagon is full! Let's get out of here!
R.J.: Hang on, Vincent! This will only take a second!
Verne: 'Vincent'?
R.J.: WHERE?!?
Verne: Who is Vincent?
R.J.: Oh. Verne, Vincent, simple slip for the bear. TONGUE! Uh, erm... Just bear with me is what I... meant to say. There's no bear!
[R.J. climbs for the bottle rack to get for the Spuddies. Meanwhile, Heather is trying to distract Gladys by copying Ozzie]
Gladys: Hmm? Oh!
Heather: Lights fading, limbs growing co...
[Gladys kicks down for 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]
Ozzie: Oh, Heather...
Gladys: [Meanwhile, she's talking for the Verminator for the phone] There's a dead white rat on my staircase!
[Heather's eyes suddenly opened. It turned out she was playing dead]
Ozzie: I thought you were dead.
Heather: I learned from the best, Dad.
Ozzie: That's my girl.
R.J.: [struggles to retrieve Gladys' Spuddies from the cabinet] Come...to Papa.
Ozzie: [returns for the animals with Heather] We better hurry. We don't have much time.
Verne: [tries to stop R.J. by grabbing his tail] What is going on up there, RJ?
R.J.: Nothing!
Verne: Well then, let's get out of here, because we have what we need!
R.J.: No, I don't!
Verne: What are you talking about? [pulls on RJ's tail] We have more than enough!
R.J.: [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 R.J.'s confession] And if these Spuddies aren't for the menu, then I will be! Now let it go of my tail!
Verne: [horrified] What the...?
R.J.: [growling, angrily kicks Verne's arm off] Let it GO!
[As RJ grabs for the Spuddies, Verne and RJ began to falls down makes for the objects crashed letting Stella and Gladys hear them]
Stella: Huh? Uh, I'm sorry, I've gotta go! [leaves]
Tiger: Stella?! Stella, where are you going?! STELLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! [Gladys runs for the kitchen and screams for the animals are inside and runs away as Stella returns for the kitchen as he follows her] Stella!
Stella: Look, it's not you! It won't work, okay? Because I'm a... [Gladys sees her] Uh...
Gladys: [screams; lifts her leg] SKUNK!
Stella: Yeah, that. [Gladys runs screaming] Sorry you have to see this. Fire for the hole!
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 R.J.] You were right about him, Verne. We should've listened. Sorry back there.
Verne: No. [sits down] I knew we wouldn't trust him, and I got us into this. I should have known better.
Vincent: Wow.
R.J.: Vincent?
Vincent: So, I was just on my way down here to kill you, but I stopped to watch the show and I gotta say... [gives R.J. his binoculars and shows Verne and his family being taken away by Dwayne] that right there is a thing of beauty. That is the most vicious, deceitful, self-serving thing I've ever seen. [chuckles] Classic, R.J. You take the food and they take the fall. You keep this up, you're gonna end up just like me, having everything you ever wanted.
R.J.: But I already had that.
Vincent: What, them? Who are you kidding? You said it yourself, you're a family of one. Always will be. It's how guys like you and me survive. So, a few saps got hurt in the process. Tough, that's life. Trust me, you don't need them.
R.J.: Actually...I do. And right now, they really need me. So I really need this! [takes the wagon with all the food]
Vincent: [enraged] RJ!
Verne: [beneath the window] Bear!
R.J.: What's that?
Verne: Bear!
R.J.: Hair?
Verne: Bear!
R.J.: Dare?
Verne: Bear!
R.J.: [looks back at Vincent] Oh! BEAR!
R.J.: Thank you! Yes, Yes! Hey! Let me in, let me in!
Ozzie: No! Ring-tailed charlatan!
R.J.: Ozzie!
Verne: He's just trying to help us. Just let him in!
Stella: After what he did to us?!
Verne: But he came back.
[Vincent's roar is heard]
Lou: And he brought a bear!
Spike: [while driving the van, the others are arguing] Hey, no fighting while we're driving!
Quillo: We will turn this van around, mister!
[The animals were shocked and stunned]
Lou: [points at Verne] He started it.
Verne: I'm telling he's trying to help us, really.
Ozzie: But, Verne, you're the one who always says trust your tail.
Verne: But it's not tingling.
All: Ohhh!
Stella: Why didn't you say so?
Gladys: That's the-
Dwayne: The Depelter Turbo. Prepare for a lot of stinging! Oh, no! No, no! No, no! Ogh!
[Shouting. Shouting continues. Popcorn pops. Clanging. They all moan]
All: Whoo-hoo!
Heather: Yeah!
Stella: We did it!
All: Whoo-hoo-hoo! Whoo-hoo!
Stella: Nice teamwork.
R.J.: Come here, Hammy. Come here. You are a genius, my boy.
Hammy: Oh, thank [burping] you!
Verne: Eegh!
R.J.: And, Verne, don't you ever fix this shell!
Verne: Yeah. Glad it's working for ya. Take it off, give it back.
[Vincent groans]
Ranger: [carrying Vincent away] Here we go, off to the Rockies for you, Smokey.
Police Officer: Now you do realise it was a Depelter Turbo.
Gladys: Officer, please! That was the Verminator! It sold it to me! That 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!!
Police Officer: Ma'am!
Gladys: I CAN'T BE ARRESTED!!
Police Officer: Excuse me.
Gladys: [yelling] I'M PRESIDENT OF THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION!! [kicking the police officer]
Cop: Aw! Take her down! Oh!
Dwayne: She's getting away! [quietly as she is fights the police] Get her! [sneaks away]
Gladys: [barely audible] Stop that! My shoes!
Police Officer: Ma'am.
Gladys: [his last words] Hyah!
Police Officer: [faintly] Hey, can I get a little help over here? [as Dwayne climbs over a fence] Somebody get a hold of her legs!
Dwayne: Okay. Uh! Oh!
[Dwayne then accidentally steps on a squeak toy offscreen]
Nugent: [offscreen] Play?
Dwayne: [his last words; offscreen] Oh, no. No, no! No, no! [a bite was heard, resulting him to scream in pain]
Animals: Yay!
Heather: High five, Hammy!
Hammy: Yes!
Animals: It worked! It worked! We did it! We did it! Whoo! Alright.
Stella: Oh, yes!
Tiger: Stella! Stella!
Stella: Over here, Tiger.
Tiger: Oh, Stella! Ah, so this is the outdoor woods? I like it.
Stella: Come on, big boy. You're coming with me.
Verne: 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.
R.J.: Really?
Verne: Yeah, that's what families do. They look out for each other.
R.J.: I never really had anything like that.
Verne: I know, but believe me, this...This is the gateway to the good life.
R.J.: Really wish you've told me that sooner.
Verne: Well, that's bad communication. Also something families do. So, what do ya say? Wanna be part of it?
[During the credits, When "Rocking the Suburbs" plays in the background]
R.J.: That, my friends, is the object of all human attention and devotion, and they call it...a TV.
Quillo: Wicked cool!
R.J.: You see, humans feel an inner need to connect with the world around them.
Lou: That is just super-duper.
R.J.: They also feel a need to sit on their fat butts, watching TV fulfills both needs at the same time.
Stella: Wow. Interesting.
Penny: Come on, kids! Family time there, in front of the TV! Got your snack food?
Hammy: Buy a vowel! BUY A VOWEL! Buy a "Y", Please buy a "Y"!
Ozzie: I can't find the remote.
Lou: Hey, Spikey! Race ya!
Ozzie: Has anybody seen the remote?
Heather: Dad, chill.
Stella: I could do a little TV. I think today's the day we find out if the baby is gifted or if Saxon is really an alien.
Hammy: Just Like Khan in Star Trek II! The Genesis Project was in the hands of the Enterprise, but Khan had his plan to steal the invention and redo all the life!
Verne:: Well, that was specific.
Hammy: I saw it on TNT, a retrospective.
Heather: Gummy Worm, anybody?
R.J.: Let me have one.
Stella: Bucky, pass this to Lou.
Lou: Taste this.
Spike: Don't you take that.
Verne: This is the perfect food.
R.J.: Fat-free cookies? You might as well just be eating dirt.
Hammy: I've had dirt, I don't like dirt, it tastes like dirt!
Heather: Shh! The Show is starting!
[The last part of "Rocking the Suburbs" by Ben Folds continues on the credits]
[Last lines, after the end credits, R.J. is fixing the vending machine]
R.J.: [in a post-credit scene] Wait! Hang on a minute. [all the chip bags fall down and everyone laughs and cheers] Yes, here we go! [as he tries to get all the chips out, the lid is stuck, and the machine doesn't budge]
Hammy: Kinda anticlimactic.
R.J.: Shoot!

Teaser Trailer (Work In Progress)

[edit]
Hammy: Psst. Hey, Steve.
Steve Carell: Hi. I'm Steve Carell.
Hammy: Steve.
Carell: Hammy, not now. I'm about to tell the people about our new movie.
Hammy: One little nut. I'll be your best friend. Please?
Carell: OK, here we go. Go.
Hammy: Yahoo!
Carell: Take it, mooch. I'm here to talk about DreamWorks Animation's new movie called Over the Hedge. We have scenes to share with you in various stages of animation. "Over the Hedge." It's about a bunch of woodland creatures who wake up from five months of winter hibernation to discover a giant hedge running right through the middle of their forest.
Ozzie: No.
Carell: And on the other side of it, a hundred brand-new homes. Now, they totally freak out worrying about how they'll survive when along comes R.J. Now, R.J. is this super-cool raccoon and he is played by none other than the big action star Bruce Willis. Yeah. Yeah. I know. Bruce has been in the studio all week recording some very funny lines that, well, why don't I let him explain? Bruce, bet you're really excited.
Bruce Willis: Hey, I'm excited. I'm very excited, OK? My voice is coming out of a furry computer-generated raccoon.
R.J.: You, my friend, are a natural.
Willis: So here's how this whole thing works: I say a funny line in here, like this. "Now listen, champ. What we're going for here is a vicious, man-eating, rabid squirrel." Then the directors take it over to the sketch artists. And then they take it to the animation wizards. And it comes out just like this.
R.J.: What we're going for here is a vicious, man-eating, rabid squirrel. Can you handle that?
Willis: It's pretty cool, right?
Carell: That's Bruce Willis. I was talking to Bruce Willis. Wow. OK, then there's Verne.
Verne: We want nothing to do with anything that's over that hedge!
Carell: Voiced by Garry Shandling. Verne's the leader of all the animals in the forest. Now, everyone likes Verne, but he's a little cautious, a little slow. So everyone's just starting to adjust to life in the suburbs when suddenly, RJ gets his big idea. RJ sees a treasure of goodies to be had from his unsuspecting new neighbors and convinces his reluctant pals to join him on his mission. Clearly, the guy has seen too many spy movies. Lucky for him, he's got a lot of animal friends in this movie. Like Stella the skunk, played by the always funny Wanda Sykes.
Wanda Sykes/Stella: Why did you let him sneak up on me like that, Verne? I was this close.
Carell: And Ozzie the possum, played by William Shatner. I play an opossum.
Ozzie: Must move toward the light.
Carell: And there's Ozzie's teenage daughter played by Avril Lavigne. Penny and Lou are played by the wonderfully funny Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara. They have their hands full with porcupine triplets.
Lou: Shape up, there.
Carell: And the irrepressible squirrel Hammy is played by none other than me.
Carell/Hammy: Dig a hole, bury it, take it out, bury it somewhere else. Forget where it is.
Carell: I am adorable. Well, that's all we're gonna tell you right now 'cause we're saving up a whole bunch of surprises. So, from the whole gang...
Hammy: Excuse me.
Carell: and Hammy, we'll see you...
Carell/Hammy: Over the hedge.
Hammy: Right?
Carell: Anything else from you, Hammy?
Hammy: Oh, I can burp my ABC's. A, B, C...
Carell: Well, like I was saying, from me and Hammy and all the other guys, we'll see you over the hedge.
Announcer: Over the Hedge. It may be your backyard, but it's their world.
Hammy: ...Y, Z.
