Narrator: The Evergreen Forest
is full of wonders.
So when Melissa decided to
photograph some of them
for a special feature in the
Evergreen Standard,
Bert Raccoon suggested
they start
with the Endless Echo Caverns.
Melissa: It's got to be
around here somewhere.
Bert: Who knows
what we might find?
There might be
hidden treasure,
and there could be
a race of Mole men,
lost civilizations,
sacred cities.
Melissa: Bats!!
Bert: B-Ba-Bats?!
Oh well, he-he-he,
I guess it's not here.
Woa-woaaaaah!
[thud!]
Ou!
Well, that was easy.
I don't see any bats!
[echoing] bats-bats...
Hey! [echoing][laughs]
Hey this is great!
Beeert Raccooooon!
It's me. [echoing]
Bert!
[echoing Bert-Bert]

Broo: [howls]

let's look down this way Bert.
Bert: I don't like this
Melissa, it's too creepy.
♪ [suspenseful music]
Yikes!
Okay.
Th-this is far enough for me!
Melissa: Bert, look!
[camera click]
This is fantastic, Bert!
Wait. It looks to me like
prehistoric cave paintings.
This could be thousands and
thousands of years old.
Bert: Then it'll still
be here tomorrow.
Let's get outta here, Melissa!
Melissa: This could be one of
the greatest
historical finds ever made!
Bert: Hey, where's Broo?
[calling] Broo?
Broo, come here, little fella!
I-i-it's not s-sa-safe

Yeaaaaah!

Melissa: Wait 'til
you see them, Ralph!
They're thrilling!
They look a lot
like cave paintings
I've seen in art
history books.
Bert: Don't go, Ralph.
It's dark down there
and there's monsters
in that cave!
Broo: [barks]
Ralph: I have no
intention of going,
until my bouillabaisse
is finished.
Bert: As a matter of fact,
don't even go outside
It... [whispers]
may have followed us home.
[slam!]
Melissa: Oh, Bert, there are
no monsters in that cave!
If there was a monster,
why didn't I see it?
Bert: Because it was lurking.
Ralph: [slurp]
Bert: Em..
Ralph: Pass me that bouquet
garni, will you Bert?
Eh, this dish needs a soupcon,
some more fennel.
Then it will be...mm-mm-mmm!
Perfect!
Bert: You know, I notice you
start talking funny
when you put on
that chef's hat, Ralph.
Melissa: I really think we
need the advice of an expert.
Ralph: No, I'm sure,
it needs more fennel.
Melissa: Ralph!? I'm talking
about the cave paintings.
Ralph: Here Bert, try this!
It's my 'piece de resistance.'
Bert: [loud slurp]
Ralph: Well?
Bert: I know exactly,
what it needs.
Ralph: Perhaps a dash more
freshly ground pepper?
Bert: Nah!
The best spice of all!!
Peanut butter!
Ralph:
[gasps in horror!]
Bert!!! You've ruined it!
Bert: Well...just a
matter of taste, Ralph!
Melissa: Professor
Witherspoon Smedley-Smithe
from the museum is
excited about our find!
He's coming out to have
a look at the paintings.
[murmuring chatter]
The Pig 1: I do so
love cultural events.
The Pig 2: Yes, but we
must attend more of them.
The Pig 3:
They're so...enlightening
Cyril: Enlightening?!
You porkers aren't
getting any lighter.
I don't know, why I let
you talk me into this.
The Pig 1: But, Sir..
you're broadening
your social horizons!
Cyril: And you're broadening
your waistlines!
Lady Baden-Baden:
Yoohoo, Mr. Sneer.
Oh, it's so nice to
see you at this event!
I didn't realize that
you were an art lover.
Cyril: Lady Baden-Baden,
the only thing
I love is money.
Who's art?
Lady Baden-Baden:
[giggles]
Oh Mr. Sneer,
you are such a wit!
[giggles]
Ooh, there's Lady
Penelope Banyos.
I do hope we'll
see more of you
at these functions,
Mr Sneer. Ta-taaa!
Cyril: If there was any
more of you Anthem, lady,
there wouldn't be
room for anyone else.
Mr. Knox: Well, Mr Sneer,
will you be bidding on any
art works this afternoon?
Cyril: I might.
Then again, I might not.
[laughs]
Mr. Knox: Well I hope
to add a few
definitive works
to my collection.
Would you care to accompany me
to the bidding, Sir?
Cyril: Eh, certainly!
- Ehm, ladies and gentlemen,
our next lot, number 32,
an Henri de la Possum
from his green period.
Who will start?
Mr. Knox: $10,000!
Cyril: Are you nuts, Knox?
I've seen bigger postage stamps!
- $15,000!
- $20,000!!
- $20,000! Do I hear $25,000?
Cyril: Who would be crazy enough
to pay $25,000 for that?
Mr. Knox: Why, his paintings
just keep going up
in value, Mr. Sneer.
They are a marvelous investment!
$30,000.
- Thank you, Mr Knox.
Anyone else?
Mr. Knox: In fact, Mr Mammoth
purchased that painting for $50,
sometime ago.
Cyril: Fifty?!
- $50,000 !
going..
Cyril: [gulps]
[choking]
- ..going, gone!
Sold to that person
with the bent nose.
Cyril: [coughs]
Mr. Knox: Congratulations, Sir!
An extremely cultured decision.
Cyril: $50,000?! Huh!
I've seen better
pictures on a cereal box.
Cedric: I don't know, Pop, I
think it brightens up the room.
Cyril: So does a light bulb.
The Pig 1: But Sir, now
you're a patron of the arts.
The Pig 2: Respected
by the masses.
Cyril: Who cares?
Cedric: Pop, this
is an investment!
In a while, you can sell the
painting again for a big profit!
After all, Pop, this painting
has already increased
in value by 1,000%.
Cyril: Now you're
talking my language.
I'll hire this Henri de la
Possum to paint a few more.
[laughs]
Good idea, son!
Hah! Pigs, go find him.
The Pig 1: But, Sir,
the program says he
disappeared five years ago.
Cyril: Hmm! Too bad!
I'll have to think
of something else.
Cedric, my boy, how long will
I have to keep this painting
for maximum resale value?
Cedric: I'll go
figure it out, Pop.
Cyril: It may have
cost me $50,000,
but I've learned,
that art is money.
Pigs, go out and get me
some masterpieces. Cheap!!
You've got 24 hours!
Capiche?
The Pigs: Ah, yes, Sir!
Ah, capiche, capiche!
Cyril: Ah, yes, indeed!
The secret of great art.
Buy cheap, and sell expensive.
[laughs]
Melissa: Isn't this exciting?
Professor: Exciting indeed.
Melissa: Now we'll find out just
how ancient and important
these cave paintings are.
Professor: I must say,
I certainly have
high hopes for
them, young lady.
Bert: Wouldn't it be better,
if I stayed out here?
I could sort of.. um, he-eh,
..guard the entrance.
Melissa:
You're not still afraid
of imaginary monsters, are you?
Bert: No, not imaginary ones.
Melissa: Oh, Bert,
come on, we need you!
Professor: You know, this
reminds me of the time
we opened the tomb of
Emperor Ratatouille.
Oh, egad what a thing that was!

I call a painting!

Forget the small stuff,
the bigger the better.
That's what I say.
Hmmm...?
I can't sell this, so the
suckers will have to come here.
I'll charge admission.
This will be the greatest
tourist attraction ever!
Start taking notes.
Measure this for a turnstile.
I want the lunch counter there.
Ticket booth here.
The souvenir stand right here.
And check the back of this cave!
Make sure there's
no way to sneak in!
Everybody pays to see
my cave paintings!
Oh, yes, they do
and do they ever pay!
The Pig 1: Oh, the
boss sure is happy.
The Pig 2:
We're sure get a raise.
The Pig 1: [giggles] Yeah!

were priceless
prehistoric paintings.
They're worthless.
