04x11 - Stealing the Show!

[bunniefuu]

- [Narrator] This is
the Evergreen Forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until Bert
Raccoon wakes up.

[Bert yells]

[pedals squeal]
[Bert whoops]

[Bert yells]
[Bert thuds]

[Bert thuds]

Luckily, he has some good
friends to help him out.

[dog panting]

[upbeat theme music]

Life would be simple in
the forest except for...

Cyril Sneer.

[console beeps]

And his life would
be except for...

"The Raccoons".
[fireworks burst]

[upbeat theme music ends]

[upbeat music]

It's another beautiful day
in the Evergreen Forest.

The sun is out, and so
are Bert and Cedric,

practicing for the upcoming
Forest Skateboarding Contest.

- Bert Raccoon
dazzles the spectators

on his forest flyer skateboard.

He executes a 360 degree spin,

followed by a quick pickup

and finishes with a hair
raising hand plant deck.

- The crowd goes nuts,

as the flyer is passed off
to Cedric "The b*llet" Sneer.

He rips down the last leg
of the tandem team event

His thoughts focused only
one thing, the finish line.

What an amazing win by

the team of Bert Raccoon
and Cedric Snare.

- How about a
victory soda, Bert?

- [laughs] We even think alike!

Wow!

That could be ours, Cedric.

[gentle ethereal music]
A custom designed,

limited edition super
deluxe racing model!

- Yeah.

First prize in the skateboard
race. That would be nice.

I sure hope the flyer holds up.

- Ah, don't worry, Cedric.

The old flyer won't let us down.

[car horn beeps]

- Hi Pop, what are
you doing here?

- I heard about the
skateboard contest.

- [Cedric] You are entering?

- Of course not,
skateboarding is for kids.

Making money is for Sneers!

And with this little
beauty, I intend to cash in!

- Wow! What a beauty!
- Wow look at that board!

It looks super!

- Not so fast you masked menace!

This neuro sonic
skateboard's a prototype.

The only one of it's kind.

When people get a look at it,

the orders will
come flooding in!

I'll get richer and Steer
Enterprises will become

the dominant force
in the industry!

- I doubt that very
much Mr. Sneer.

- What are you
talking about, Knox?

- May introduce...

The Knox Eliminator.

- Whoa!
- Wow!

- It is the latest and it is
the greatest skateboard ever.

- What's the big idea here Knox?

- I intend to put you

and that board of
yours out of business.

- And how do you
intend to do that?

- By winning the
skateboard race of cause.

You have entered, haven't ya?

- Of course I have!

And you are going
to lose! [laughs]

- Oh no! Mud Man is
really in trouble now!

- Who's really in trouble?

- Hey, go away. This
is our Mud Man comic.

- We better switch
to the privacy page.

- Hey!

- [Pig] You need grime
glasses to read it.

- Yeah, and to get them,

you have to belong to the Mud
Man fan club, The Goop Troop.

Wow. Mud Man is in
real trouble this time.

He's trapped in a net in a tree

and the Sponge
Monster is coming.

- Oh!

- He might just get
wiped out this time!

- Hey, maybe the fire
department could save him.

They're always getting
cats out of trees.

[both laugh]

- What a bacon brain!

You have no idea of
the powers of Mud Man.

- [Pig] Or his trusty
sidekick, The Dishwater Kid!

- Mud Man will turn to gloop

and slither through
the holes in the net.

- Then he and The Dishwater Kid

will unleash a mighty flurry-

- [Pigs Together]
Of muck-o-balls!

[pillows thud]

- [Cyril over speaker]
Pigs! My office, pronto!

That's right, put everyone
on triple overtime!

I want that prototype
finished on time!

I can't afford to
lose that race.

[phone receiver slams]

- You screamed, sir?

- What are you pork pies doing?

Trying to make
spectacles of yourselves?

- Oh no, sir. They're for
reading Mud Man comics.

- Reading comics on the
job eh? Well read my lips.

Deliver these boxes
to Willow's store.

N O W.

Now!

[phone rings]

Hello? Knox?

You wanna have a
press conference?

Is this more of your monkey
business or are you just lonely?

Fine. I'll be there.

[gentle music]

- Well what do you
think this is all about?

- Ah, they probably just
wanna go over the rules.

- [clears throat]
Your attention please.

Now, y'all maybe wondering
why a couple of grown men

like Mr. Sneer and myself

have entered this
skateboard race, huh?

Well allow me to show you...

The Knox Eliminator!

- Sit down, Knox! You're
blocking out the sun!

Save the film for a real beauty.

The Sneer-o-Sonic!
[thunder cracks]

Available soon in
stores everywhere.

- I believe I had
the floor, sir.

The fact is, sir,
the Evergreen Forest

is not big enough
for the both of us.

And-
- Does this mean

you're pulling out or just
planning to go on a diet, Knox?

- Neither.

I propose we make things
a bit more interesting.

The loser of this race

will pull out of the
skateboard market.

- Knox! You've got a deal.

- Good.

And now that business
is out the way,

allow me to introduce my team.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the Knox Knights!

[lively music]
[crowd gasp]

- Excuse me,

but aren't we forgetting
there's another team entered?

- Oh, uh...

Hi hon...

- Mr. Willow! We have
a delivery for you!

- But if you're too busy
right now, we can wait.

- No problem, boys.

I've been putting off
this job for years.

Another few minutes
shouldn't matter.

- Do you have the latest
issue of Mud Man, Mr. Willow?

- Yep. Just came
in this morning.

[boxes crash]
[Pig yelps]

- Let's go have a look, Lloyd!

- Hey, how about some help here?

- Oh it would be great if
we could buy this right now!

- Mud Man!

- Yeah, but with
what the boss pays us

we'll have to wait
till next month!

- Hey, let's put it in the box
so nobody else will buy it.

- That's everything.

- Great. Just hang on till
I check out the paperwork.

- If I had a big
comic collection,

they wouldn't be
treating me like this.

- The order's fine son, I
just wanted to check 'em to...

[hooves scuttling]

[laughs] Everyone's in
such a rush these days.

- Come on! !e wanna get going!

[gentle music]

- Those Knox Knights
look pretty good, Cedric.

Your pop could really
use our help, you know?

Hey, what do you say

we offer him our
skateboarding expertise?

- That's very
noble of you, Bert.

[machine whirring]
[mallet hammering]

- Hose B is attached
to input valve C.

- Hi Pop, Bert and I want to-

- Cedric!

Take a look at this, son.

This is going to win that
race for me. [laughs]

My secret w*apon, the
Sneer Stealth Bomber!

It has everything.

The latest technology, a
complete guidance system

and titanium turbo thrusters!

It's so powerful it
even comes equipped

with an injection
seat and a parachute!

- Well, it's not exactly as-

- Very perceptive, son. [laughs]

It's much more
than a skateboard.

Knox will never
know what hit him!

- Now what was it you wanted
to talk to me about, Son?

- Oh, nothing Pop.

- Two comics for
just this one? Sure.

- Ha! What a steal!

Now I've got a complete set!

- That's nothing.

I've got two complete sets
and the latest Mud Man issue.

- Wow! He really does!

- These are great!

But where did you get them?

- Oh, I uh...

found them.

- Nobody finds stuff like this,
now where did you get them?

- Yeah!

- Uh, well, someone
owed me a favor, see?

And he knows this person
who knows someone who's uh,

who's friends with someone else

who is real good friends
with a guy who knows, uh...

Mud Man.

- [Together] You know Mud Man?

- Oh sure. [laughs]

Why, the old mud slinger

and I practically
share the same soap.

I can get plenty more
comics, any old time I want.

- You can?

- Oh, and for free too.

- For free?

Gee, could I borrow
this one to read?

You could borrow mine.

- Well...

Okay, but don't bend them.

- Hey! Listen to this.

"For a limited time only,
enjoy all the sights

and sounds of your favorite
superhero's hometown."

- Oh! A chance to see Mudville!

Gee!

- And I know how we could
raise the cash to go!

Talk to your friend and get
as many comics as you can.

We can sell 'em at the
skateboard contest.

- Oh Lloyd!
[upbeat music]

You've done it again!

- Yeah, I sure have...

- Wow.

"Mud Man traps Freddy Fingers,
a dastardly small-time thief,

on top of Megalopolis
City Hall."

- "Fingers will just have
to learn the hard way,

that crime doesn't pay."

- Wow! Well that's
it, lights out boys.

- Oh [laughs]

[oinks] Sorry.

[gentle music]

- You two look like you
just lost your best friend.

- Oh, things just aren't
going so good, that's all.

- Well, now I know what
they mean when they say

skateboarding's
a downhill sport.

- Ah, Cedric things
aren't that bad.

Sure we're up against some
pretty impressive competition,

but we still have one
thing going for us.

- Oh? What's that?

- We know that's skateboard
course better than anyone!

Ha, we have the home
field advantage.

- I guess you guys
didn't hear the news.

- Huh? What news?

- They moved the
course to Freen's Peak.

- Freen's Peak!.

- There goes the
whole field advantage

[tires screech]

- Your friend set
to meet him here?

- Uh, yeah. Inside the store.

Listen, there's something
I have to tell you...

About the comics...

- [Together] What?

- Uh [laughs], some of
them are in wrappers.

- So? We'll take them out.

Look, as soon as you get the
comics, bring them along.

We're going to set up.

[Lloyd gulps]

- Hello skateboard
fans everywhere!

d*ck Ermine here,

broadcasting from the
Evergreen Skateboard Contest!

Below me,

I see the contestants going
through their final preparation.

- Remember, I don't
care what it takes.

Get in front and stay in front.

- This way boys! [laughs]

- And just what sort of
contraption is that, Sir?

- You can take a good look
at it in the winners circle.

I'm kind of busy
right now, Knox.

Don't forget to switch
at the halfway mark.

Don't take your eyes off
the course, and don't lose!

- This looks like a
pretty tough course, Bert.

- Don't worry, Cedric.

Look! I brought you
my lucky sweater.

- Gee, thanks Bert.

How do you tell the difference?

- They're all lucky. [laughs]

And now, we'll look
like a real team.

- Yeah. The B team.

[gentle ominous music]

[magazine rack squeaks]

- Huh?

[magazine rack squeaks]

[Lloyd screams]

I think we have a problem here.

[Lloyd gulps]

[starter p*stol bangs]

- The race is away!

The skaters blast away
from the starting line!

And trouble has come
early to the Snare team.

The Stealth Bomber
seems to stalled.

[Cyril yells]

The early leader seems
to be the Knox team!

This could be the team to b*at.

The skaters are
approaching the water jump,

the first of many obstacles
they must overcome.

[skateboard wheels rattling]

- Whoa!

- [d*ck] Oh! Two
magnificent leaps!

The Bomber has started, but
can he get back into this race?

- [laughs] This should
slow things down a bit!

[lively energetic music]

[ramp smashes]

- [d*ck] Well, the Know
team seems rather confident,

but the Bomber comes from
way back to grab the lead!

He looks unbeatable!

- Sneer, you're
one slick operator!

Oh no!

Stop!

Get back in the
race you fur ball!

- I've lost sight
of the contestants.

Wait, here they come.

We have a new leader!
The Knox team!

Hanging on the second
place is Bert Raccoon.

And in third, the Bomber!

And...

He seems to have
picked something up.

It's Cyril Sneer!

- Pass him! Pass him!

[button clicks]

[Cyril screaming]

- I've never seen
anything like this.

A cloud bank seems
to have rolled in.

- Hit the fans!
We're losing ground!

- The cloud coverage
has dispersed,

and the Bomber's making
up ground quickly,

it's fighting for
first place again!

[balls rattle]

Ooh!
[wheels screech]

The Bomber, he's been plagued
by missed opportunities

and misfortune.

And the leaders switch
riders at the halfway point.

- Give it all ya got Cedric!

[wheels screech]
[engine roars]

- Why, Mr. Sneer, you look b*at.

- Not over yet, Knox!

This is a race, not a
drive in the country!

You've got to put the
pedal to the metal!

- Those fantastic deals on
comics should be here shortly!

- Oh you made it!

- Hey, where are the comics?

- I don't have them.

- [Together] What?

- I did something
stupid. [sobbing]

It's real bad. [cries]

- [d*ck] Cedric Sneer is
really giving the Knox team

a run for their money.

And here comes the Bomber,
now being ridden by...

Cyril Sneer!

[wheels screech]

- [d*ck] Oh I can't
believe my eyes!

The Bomber's gone the wrong way!

But what a maneuver!
What showmanship!

Good luck!

- Need more speed!

Ha ha!

- The racers are
entering the Mogul Fear,

the final obstacle
before the home stretch.

[Cedric yelling]

[wheels screech]

- Pop! Bail out!

- Good idea Son!

- Well, it looks like
this race is down

to just two contestants.

The Knox team is
still in the lead,

but Cedric Sneer
seems to be gaining!

- Pop!

- Whoa!

- [d*ck] It looks
like this race is over

except for the cherry!

- What are you doing Son?

- Finishing the race, Pop!

- [d*ck] The Knox team is
heading for the finish line.

He should easily-

Cedric Sneer has
come outta nowhere!

He's back in the race!

He takes the lead!

And the ribbon!

Cedric Sneer has won!

[crowd applaud and cheer]

- Cedric! We won!

Oh, that was some finish.

- It was incredible!

Why weren't you
on the Sneer team?

You should have told me you
could do all that stuff, Son.

Where did you learn those moves?

I thought our bacon was fried,
but you jumped that creek.

- [Narrator] We are all
surrounded by familiar sights

and sounds, but once in a
while, we make a real discovery.

Sometimes the most
incredible things are those

that have always been there.

- Keep working!

- Yeah!

And if you ever pull
another stunt like this,

you're on your own!

- Gee, thanks guys.

And don't worry, I've
cleaned up my act.

[paint splatters]
Almost.

- [laughs] What a board, Cedric!

- Yeah, I can't
wait to try it out.

- Let's settle this once
and for all, Mr. Sneer.

- My pleasure, Knox.

I hate unfinished business.

[wheels rattle]
- Geronimo!

- Hey Bert, maybe we
should try another hill?

- Look out!
- Out out of my way!

- Move over!
- Back up!

- Yeah, a quieter one.

- [Cyril] Last one to the
finish line is a rotten egg!

[Cyril laughs]
