Narrator: Springtime
in the Evergreen Forest.

The new leaves on the trees.

The return of the Robin.

And the dust billowing
out of Sneer mansion,

as Cyril Sneer and
the pigs clean up,

making out with the old
and in with the new.

Snag: Eeeeh-ugh!

The Pig: Uuuuh-ugh-uhg-uuuugh!

Cyril: Look at this,

the first annual
Evergreen Forest games.

Huh! What's the prize?

Pig 1: Sir, it's the
prestigious athletic cup.

Cyril: They call that a trophy?!

In my day you needed
to be a real athlete

to win a track and field event!

And I should know,
I won enough of them!

[crowd cheering]

Ah, if I were only

I'd give anything to
relive those days.

Pig 2: Anything?

You know guys, anything
just might mean a raise.

Pig 3: A raise?

- Ohh boy!
- But that's impossible!

The boss can never be his old,
I mean, young-self again.

[vacuum humming]

Pig 2: Well, maybe he
could be young again.

Pig 1&3: Oooh...yes!!

Broo: Woof!
Bert: [heavy breathing]

Boy Broo,

If I can pick this up, I'm a
cinch to win the forest games,

[heavy breathing]
that...that cup is all mine!

[out of breath]

The way I figure it,
if I can run 5 miles a day

for the next week,

by Monday, I should be

[laughs]

[heavy breathing]

Oh boy! I...I feel
stronger, already.

[heavy breathing]

Oh! Oh-huh!

Bleeeee!

Come on, Broo.

Broo: [happy barking]

Melissa/Ralph: [chewing]

Bert: [wheezing]

Melissa: Hi Bert,
how was your run?

Bert: [wheezing]

[thunk]

Melissa: That's nice.

Ralph: I'm glad to see your
runs getting easier, Bert.

Bert: [struggling]

Ralph: Guess what
Burt, good news!

We're going to have a house
guest for the next few days.

Melissa: That's right, Bert.
Cousin Bentley!

Bert: A kid, here?
Hey, that's great Melissa!

I can take him fishing
and canoeing

and to the home
improvement shows...

You know, all of the
things kids like.

Melissa: Gee Bert,
Bentley may not be exactly

the kind of kid you expect.

Bert: Ahh, kids are kids.
Plain and simple.

I never met one I didn't like!

Yaaahoooo! Ha-haaa!

Someone to train
for the games with!

Cedric: Hi, pop.

Cyril: [grunts]

Cedric: Hey, pop, can I borrow
those old track shoes of yours,

and your old varsity sweater?
It's for the track meet.

Cyril: These shoes and I saw a
lot of good years together.

And this sweater, it went great
with my old raccoon skin coat.

Cedric: Pop!!!
Cyril: Just a joke Cedric.

Here, guard them with your life.

Cedric: Uhm, thanks, pop.

Cyril: Yep, those were the days.

Annoucer: Ladies and gentlemen,

in the 100 yard dash,

Cyril Sneer takes first place.

In the long jump,
Cyril Sneer, 1st place.

For sportsmanlike conduct,

Cyril Sneer, last place.
[audience booing]

Cyril: Aaah,
those were the days.

[chuckles]

Were they ever!
Pig: Sir, Sir!

Cyril: What's the big idea,

barging in like this?
Invading my privacy?

Pig 2: Sir, we have the answer
to your problem.

Cyril: What?!
What are you blabbering about?

Pig 1: We can
make you young again.

The Pig 3: Look at this, Sir.

Cyril: [grunts]

The search for the
Fountain of Youth?

What's this all about?

Pig 2: According
to this book, Sir,

one sip from this legendary
elusive fountain

can give someone eternal youth.

Cyril: Eternal youth?!
Preposterous!

Ridiculous!

Ludicrous!!

Find it immediately!!

Pigs: Ohh, yes Sir,
yes Sir! Immediately!

Oh joy, oh bliss!!

Melissa: Bert, come on down!

There's someone here to see you.

Bert: I'll be right there!

Yay! Aaaaah!
[thump thump thump]

[crash!]

Oh, h-h-hi!

You must be Bentley?

Bentley: And you
must be hurt.

Bert: [giggles]
That's, um, Bert.

How was your trip?

Bentley: Fine,
how was yours?

Melissa: Bentley, you're going
to be sharing Bert's room.

Bentley: Mr Bert,
pleased to interface

with your acquaintance.

Bert: Hey, smart kid there!
He-he!

He knows a foreign language!

By the way, Bentley...

Bentley?!

Um, Melissa, is Bentley
always this friendly?

Melissa: Well,
he's never had a chance

to make friends very easily.

His family moved so much
that he never lived

in one place long enough,

and now his computers
come to mean a lot to him.

Bert: Well, it's come to
mean a little too much to him,

if you ask me.

I think it's
time he found out

what a real
friend can be.

Hey Bentley, old pal, uhm...

why don't you set up
this thing later?

Hey, let's have a game
of Chinese checkers,

Well, how about a
friendly game of cards?

I could set up
the ping pong table?

[boing-boing-boing]

Bentley: No Bert, according
to my careful calculations,

playing games can be
hazardous to your health.

Bert: Ahh boy!

Ralph: Gee Bert, maybe you
should take Bentley outdoors

and and show
him the forest.

Bert: Yeaaah!
Hey, good idea, Ralph!

Come on Bentley, what do you say

we go outside and have some fun?

Melissa: The fresh air
will do you boys good!

Bentley: All right,
if I have to.

Bert: That's
the spirit, Bentley.

We'll be buddies.
Just you and me.

Aaaand...uh, your computer.



Here comes a beauty, Bentley!

A perfect pop up!

Hey, it's all yours! Go for it!

[gulps]

Isn't this a great fun, Bentley?

Bentley: Allowing
for human error

and according to the figure
being presented to me now,

the ball should hit..
[computer beeping]

here!
[bonk]

Bert: Bentley, Bentley
speak to me! Bentley!

Cyril: The pole strikes ground.

Aaaah-ugh!

[cr*ck!]
Ugh! Uuuh-uh-uugh!

Cedric: Pop, pop, are you okay?

What are you doing on the
ground? With that pole?!

Cyril: Ah, looking for worms.

Gonna do a little fishing.
[laughs]

Cedric: You should
be more careful, pop.

Someone your age could get hurt.

Cyril: Uhm, someone my age?! Ha!

I'd love to show all those
young upstarts a thing or two.

Now where was I?

Sneer begins his run.

He's really building
up momentum now!

The crowd is cheering
like never before.

The pole strikes ground,

Sneer is up.. up.. up..

Aaaaah..
[crash!]

Uh-uhg-uhg-uuhg!

Got to get the Bears
to cut down those trees.

Bert: Gee Bentley, I thought
you had that ball for sure.

You were right under it!
Oh well, that's OK.

Tomorrow, we're
gonna play football.

Yeah, footballs are
much easier to catch.

And after that, you can help me

practice for the Forest Games!

Bentley: Bert, enough!!

I prefer that tomorrow
weren't like today!

Bert: Huh?! W-w-what
does that mean?

Bentley: Today I tried
everything you wanted me to

and what have I got
to show for it?

Melissa: Gee Bentley,
Bert was just trying to show you

how much fun games
can be. He meant well.

Bentley: He made me feel unwell.

I just want to sleep now, OK?

Bert: Ok.. ok.
Goodnight Bentley.

Melisa: Goodnight.



Bert: Hey Melissa,
what am I doing wrong?

What have I got to do to
get through to that kid?

Pig 2: I can't wait
until we find that Fountain.

One sip and the boss
will be a new younger man!

Pig 1: [giggles] And we'll
have ourselves that raise!

Pig 2: So what
are we waiting for?

We're not getting
any younger.

Pig 2: But we
can't give up yet!

If we come back without water
from the Fountain of Youth,

the boss will be writing us
a euology instead of a check!

Pig 1: Where else
is there to look?

Bert: Trust me, Bentley.
Wait 'til you taste this!

Something I've never
shared with anybody...ever!

Just like that sweater.

Here it is, Bentley!

Bert Raccoon's own

peanut butter soda!

[gulp-gulp]

What?! Eh,
let me taste that.

Sluuuuurp!

Hmm, maybe it could
use a little more water.



Sluuuuurp!

Aaah! He-he!

That's better.

Here Bentley,
you'll love it now.

Sluuuuurp!

Bert: [giggles] Well?

Bentley: It's OK,
I've had better.

Pig 1: Did you see that?

Pig 1: Did you see that?
I don't believe it.

Wait, he's turned into a kid.

We've gotta get that bottle!

my back does, I'd be broke.

Ladies and gentlemen,

the first annual Evergreen

I'm d*ck Ermine, and my colour
commentator this afternoon

is Melissa Raccoon.

Melissa: Thank you d*ck, and
hello to everyone in the forest.

Here are the rules.

breath, Raccoon.

You're gonna need
it for the race!

Where's that formula?

a jack rabbit in the dust.

Get set..

Go!!

Cyril Sneer's performance

was nothing short of remarkable.

like he's going to be able

to take part in any of
the other events today.

Melissa: Ohh, these games
meant so much to Bert.

d*ck: How do you account for an
injury like that, Melissa?

Melissa: He didn't train
the way he planned to.

He's been preoccupied with
something else lately.

Bert: Ouch. Ah-eh!

Oooh, I think
I pulled something.

Cyril: Yeah, a cheap stunt
to back out of the race!

Well, it won't be as fun for me,
winning that cup

without any competition,

but it'll still be a pleasure!
