04x04 - A Catered Affair!

[bunniefuu]

Narrator: This is the
Evergreen forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until
Bert Raccoon wakes up.

Bert Raccoon: Yahoooo!

Yeeeehaaaa!

Yikes!

Narrator: It's often said that
a change is as good as a rest,

and usually that's true.

But things aren't very restful
around the Evergreen forest

when Lady Baden-Baden decides
it's time for a change.

Lady B-B: Ooh, Schaeffer.

These are simply divine!

Perfect for the Historical
Society's train ride

and luncheon tomorrow.

Of course, they could use just a

teensy bit more cinnamon.

Schaeffer: Thanks,
Lady Baden-Baden.

I don't normally cater, but

if you like, I can make up a
basket of cakes for you.

With a little more
cinnamon, of course.

Lady B-B: Oooooh, you are a
darling, Schaeffer.

Melissa: Congratulations,
Lady Baden-Baden.

I heard, your gardenias won

the flower show again this year.

Lady B-B: [sighs]
Thank you, Melissa.

Melissa: You don't sound
too excited about it.

Is something wrong?

Lady B-B: Oh, not really.

It's just that...nothing
is very exciting lately.

The usual mad social world.

Bert: I thought you
liked all that stuff?

Lady B-B: Ooh, I do.

But lately, I've been
so...unfulfilled.

I envy you, Melissa.

Melissa: Me?

Lady B-B: You have a career.

You have a purpose...
a direction in life.

Me? I just flutter about
on society business.

Bert: Maybe you need a career.

Hey, have you ever thought about
getting a job of some kind?

Lady B-B: Ooh.
What a unique idea!

But, how does one actually...

find a job?

Schaeffer: Well, I sure could
use some full-time help

around here, Lady Baden-Baden.

Lady B-B: Oooh, capital idea!

I certainly could do things
with the Blue Spruce Cafe.

Schaeffer: Can you, uh,
can you cook?

Lady B-B: Can I cook?

Why I'm a Cordon Bleu chef!

Schaeffer: Well...

Lady B-B: Ooh, wait
til' I tell Knoxie

I've found gainful employment.

He'll be sooo thrilled!

There is a lot to do,
but don't worry.

I guarantee things will take a

turn for the better around here.

Cyril:

Cyril: Fore!

Hot diggity!
[laughing]

[laughing maniacally]

What?!

Knox: [laughing]

Pig 2: Boy, I can't wait
for our holiday next week.

Pig 1: Yeah..
the romantic Porkonos.

Pig 3: It won't be
much of a holiday.

We haven't saved
enough money to make it

to the end of the street!

Never mind the Porkonos.

Pig 2: As long as it's not a
holiday like last year's.

Pig 3: Oh it wasn't so bad,
camping in the back yard.

Pig 1: Until the
tent sprung a leak!

Pig 2: We've got to get
some money somewhere.

Cyril: Pigs, get over here!!

Pig 1: Ooof.

Pig 2: Whoaaa!

Pig 3: Oh.. Coming, boss.

Cyril: I might as well play
golf on the Sahara desert,

the amount of time
I spend in sand traps.

Pig 1: Sand wedge again, Sir?

Pig 1: Oops. Waaahhh!

Cyril: I'll turn
you into a sandwich,

if you don't watch
your lip, pig.

Blast!!

Knox: Hmm, speaking of
sandwiches, Mr. Sneer,

would you happen
to know a good caterer?

Cyril: Now, how would
I know a good caterer?

Ugh!

Caterers?

Anyone comes to my house,

they bring their own food.

Fiddle. What do you want a
caterer for anyway?

Knox: I'm having a little
surprise party

for Lady Baden-Baden,

on the occasion
of our anniversary.

Ah, I assume,
you'll be attending?

Cyril: Sure, Knox. Happy to.

As long as you
get a good caterer.

Ha-ha! I never
pass up a free meal.

Pig 1: I just had
a brilliant idea.

I know how we can
make some easy money.

Cyril: Ha!

Pig 3: Ooooh, Lloyd.

That's my favorite kind.

Bert: I don't know, Cedric.

But I'm pretty sure it's not

a grilled cheese

Cedric: [whispers] Bert, I don't

Schaeffer: Ehm, are the
gentlemen ready to order?

Lady B-B: Well, what do you
think of our new menu?

Bert: Great, Lady Baden-Baden,

but em, he-he, we were kinda
hoping for a couple of

peanut butter
sandwiches and a soda.

Lady B-B: Well, for you,
two lovely boys,

we'll make an exception.

Bert: Boy, she sure has turned
this place around, eh Schaeffer?

Schaeffer: [sighs]
Yep, she sure has.

Pig 1: Yes Sir. Mr. Knox!

Pied De Cochon Catering
delivers.

Satisfaction guaranteed!

Right, Mr. Knox, we'll discuss
the details this afternoon.

Ciao.

We got it!
Knox wants to hire us!

Pig 2: Whoo-hoo,
finally some real money!

Pig 3: That's my favorite kind.

Cyril: Knox? Hiring my pigs?

Pig 2: Oooh, I'd like to see
the look on the boss's face,

if he found out about this!

Cyril: What's this?!

Meet Knox this afternoon,

Blue Spruce Cafe.

Employment?!?

Those dirty little bacon bits!

Those perfidious porkers.

How could they do this to me?

I've been like a father to them.

They can't leave me for Knox!

We'll see about this.

Knox: What's with
the disguises, boys?

Does Mr. Sneer disapprove
of your catering business?

Pig 1: Oh no. The boss
backs us all the way!

Pig 2: Usually,
he's on our backs.

Pig 3: Uh..besides,
we're not in disguise.

Pig 2: No, no. It's, um...

protection from the sun.

Pig 1: The ozone layer.

It's breaking down, you know!

And we're very sensitive
to ultra violet rays!

Knox: I see.

Well, let's get
down to business.

Lady Baden-Baden is mighty
partial to French cuisine.

What can you supply
for the surprise party?

Pig 1: Oh, um, cuisine..
let's see now.

What can we supply.. hmm..?

Pig 2: Oh look! Isn't
that Lady Penelope Banos?

Pig 3: In that striking chiffon
and leatherette jump suit?

Tres chi chi..oops.

My mistake, it's
not her after all.

Pig 1: Uh hem.

How does this sound?

Pate de la champagne,

escargot de la bougogne,

sherried yams with pecan sauce

and green peppercorn
vinaigrette with truffles?

Knox: Uuh, that sounds
right fine, boys.

Mighty fine.
You've got the contract.

Pig 1: Great. You
won't
regret this, Mr. Knox.

Pig 2: Well, we
better get started.

See you at the party
tomorrow night, at 6:30!

Knox: Lady Baden-Baden?

Oh, wha-what are you doing here?

Lady B-B: What does
it look like, Knoxie?

I'm working!

Knox: You are what?!

Lady B-B: Yessss, I just
started this morning.

Isn't it wonderful?

Knox: Wonderful?

It is an insult!

No wife of mine works..
anywhere!

You are coming home
with me, right now!

Pig 1: Just put it all on
the boss's bill, Mr. Willow.

Pig 3: We'll pay off the bill
with our huge profits.

The boss will never know.

Melissa: A surprise
anniversary party.

Mr. Knox is such a romantic.

Bert: And Lady Baden-Baden
doesn't suspect a thing.

[giggles]
I love surprise parties!

[knocking on the door]

Gee, I wonder who that is?

Lady Baden-Baden!

W-wh-what a...surprise.

Melissa: Lady Baden-Baden?

Lady B-B: [sobbing]

Melissa: What's wrong?

Lady B-B: Oh, Knoxie and I
just had a terrible fight!

In public, no less.

He.. he demanded,
I resign from my job.

Bert: But why would
he want you to resign?

Lady B-B: That's
exactly what I asked him.

He said, 'women have no
place in the working world!'

Melissa: How could
he say such a thing?!

In this day and age!

Lady B-B: Oh, it's his
upbringing, Melissa.

Old world, old values,

old money.

I told him to accept
me as I am, or leave.

He left. And..

And tomorrow is
our.. anniversary!

Oooo, Melissa!

[sobs]

I'm so unhappy!

Cyril: I'm telling you, son,

they're abandoning us.

They've got a
contract with Knox.

It tears my heart out!

Cedric: Maybe you could
ask them to stay, Pop.

Cyril: Don't be ridiculous.

I've got my pride!

Cedric: Well, how about being...

nicer to them?

Cyril: What a horrible thought!

But you're right.

It might be worth a sh*t.

I can't let those pigs work
for Knox without a fight.

They know too much about
my business dealings.

Pig 1: Now remember, we can't
let the boss see this stuff.

Cyril: Hi, boys!
Pigs: Ahhh?

Cyril: [laughs]
What's going on?

Pig 1: Eh..dinner, boss.

We're, ah, making dinner.

Cyril: Dinner? Great idea!

Mind if I pitch in boys?

Many hands make
light work, you know.

Snag: [sniffing]

Pig 1: Well..I guess.

Lloyd, get out the
French cookbook.

Lady Baden-Baden and I

have come to a
partin' of the ways.

Our marriage is over.

I'll be staying
in the back bedroom.

You don't mind, do you sir?

Cyril: But..er.. um..

but.. um...

Pig 2: Oh! It's a disaster!

Our first catering contract

just went up in smoke!

Pig 3: No, he just
went up the stairs.

Pig 2: We have to get Knox and

Lady Baden-Baden back together,

or we can kiss our
catering contract

and our holiday good bye.

It's the onions.

But I doooo miss Knoxie so.

Melissa: I'm sure you and
Mr. Knox can work things out.

Lady B-B: You manage a career
and a marriage, Melissa.

How do you do it?

Melissa: Well.. a
little understanding,

a little support

and a little compromise..

From both of us.

Lady B-B: Compromise?!

[sighs] Not one of
Knoxie's strong points.

Schaeffer: Here's your
basket of goodies for the

Historical Society train ride,
Lady Baden-Baden.

Um, why don't you take it
down to the station,

and take the rest
of the afternoon off?

Lady B-B: Ooh,
thank you, Schaeffer.

Maybe, a little visit
will cheer me up.

Bert: We'll walk you
down to the train station,

Lady Baden-Baden.

We're covering the
trip for the Standard.

Lady B-B: You're too kind, Bert.
How do you do it?

Pigs: [out of breath]

Pig 1: Where is she?
Where's Lady Baden-Baden?

Pig 2: We..er.. Mr. Knox
bought these flowers for her.

Pig 3: We want her...I mean,

Mr. Knox wants her back.

Schaeffer: You're too late.

She just left for
the train station.

If you hurry, you might catch
her before the train leaves.

Pig 2: But she can't leave!

Pig 1: Ooh, no! Come on, boys.

Pig 2/Pig 3: Ooooh!

Cyril: You're crazy to break
up with Lady Baden-Baden,

just because she
took a job, Knox.

Drat.

Knox: But suh,
where I come from,

a gentlemen would never
let his wife take a job.

It's tradition.

Cyril: Lucky sh*t, Knox.

The heck with tradition!

You can't kiss off a
perfectly good marriage

because of your
pig-headed pride!

You're living in
the modern world, Knox.

A woman has a right
to work, if she wants.

Drrraaaat!!
Knox: Ooohhh!

Cyril: Besides, you shouldn't
look a gift horse in the mouth!

You're getting a second
income out of it.

Ha-haa! Listen, Knox,

about your taking on the pigs..

Knox: Oh, don't
worry about them, Sir,

I'm sure they're gonna
work out fine.

Cyril: Oh, you do eh? Heh heh.

Good. Good!

Pigs: Mr. Knox! Mr. Knox!

Pig 1: Lady Baden-Baden's
leaving on the afternoon train.

Pig 2: You've got to stop her!

Pig 3: It'll just
ruin
your surprise party,

if she doesn't turn up.

Pig 1: We'll drive
you in the limo.

Knox: Let's go.

[footsteps rushing off]

Cyril: Hey. What about me?

That's loyalty for you.

Those traitorous trotters

are already working for Knox,

and they haven't
even moved out yet.

[imitates Pigs]
We'll drive you in the limo!

In my limo?

Hey, wait for me,
you two-timing trotters!

Come back here!

Lady B-B: Oh, you know, I doo
miss these social functions.

But now I'm a career woman.

Ooh,

it's all so meaningless
without Knoxie.

Knox: C'mon boys,

you'll take away my sunshine!

she was leaving for good.

worked out anyway.

The anniversary
party's still on!

Pig 3: And so is our contract.

Cyril: Look, I.. don't
want you three to go.

Pig 3: Oh, but we have to!

We're expected at 6:30.

Cyril: Don't make me beg!

I'll...double Knox's contract!

Pig 2: Boss..

why would you want 500
servings of pink caviar?

Cyril: Pink what?

Pig 1: C'mon. We're
going to be late!

Pigs: Oh no!!

Snag: [burping]

Pig 1: Snag ate our
entire catering contract.

Pig 3: Oh, my..
What'll we tell Mr. Knox?

Cyril: Catering contract..

You mean, you've got a
catering contract with Knox?

Pigs: [Nervous giggle]
Cyril: Why you low down,

half-brained, two-faced,
sniveling swine..

worked out their differences.

They always do.

And fortunately, so did
Mr. Knox and Lady Baden-Baden.

Singer:

Lady B-B: ..and I decided that a
part-time catering business

would be the perfect compromise.

Lady Baden-Baden.

Knox: You realize you've
made history, dearest?

The first Knox woman
to have a career.

Bert: Great food, Schaeffer.

I don't know how you whipped it
up on such short notice.

Schaeffer: Oh, Lady
Baden-Baden gave me a hand.

Bert: Um, what did happen
to the original caterers?

Pig 1: Then there's the
food from Willow's.

And we owe the Blue
Spruce for catering..

Pig 2: And the candy and
flowers for Lady Baden-Baden.

Pig 3: And don't forget
the veterinary bill

for Snag's indigestion.

Pig 1: Well, enjoy
the holiday, boys.

It's the last one we'll be
