02x04 - Power Trip!

[bunniefuu]

Narrator: This is
the Evergreen Forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until
Bert Raccoon wakes up.

Bert Raccoon: Yahoooo!

♪♪

Yeeeehaaaa!

Yikes!

Yaaaah...
[bam!]

[laughs]
[smash!]

Yeaaaah!

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

Broo: [panting]

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

Cyril Sneer!

[bleep blarp bloop]

And his life would be simple
except for...

the Raccoons!!

♪ [gentle music]

Narrator: On a beautiful
Evergreen Forest evening,

the moon is full, the breeze
is warm and all is calm.

Even Sneer Mansion seems
to be quiet and peaceful

on the outside, but perhaps,
all is not as it seems.

[electricity buzzing]
Pig: Uh-oh-uh-oh!

This is terrible!

Tragedy!!!

[breaths heavy] Guys...

We're in...oh...

Oh, it's two?

This is it guys! The gig is up!

Pig 2: What are
you talking about?

The Pig 1: This!!!

It's a bill from the
Mammoth Power Company!

Pig 2: So what?!

We have hundreds of bills.

Pig 1: But, but
this is a final notice!

If this bill is not paid now,

your power will be
cut off immediately,

and you owe 800% in interest.

Pig 3: 800% ?!

Pig 1: I told you, we should
have paid the first bill!

Pig 2: If we paid it, the boss
would have found out about

the extra power
for your night light.

Pig 1: My night light?!

What about your
electric hoofbrush?

Pig 2: Hm! What about him?

The Pig 3: Me?!

This bakey-bits skin tonner

is a marvel of electrical
conservation and efficiency.

Pig 2: Baky-bits skin tonner?

You fool!! That's bacon curer!!

Pig 3: Yowww!

Cyril: I want you flat-faced
porkers up here immediately!

Pig 3: Ohh no!

TV announcer:
And now it's time for

"Steal a Fortune!"

Cyril: Ah-haaa!

My favorite program!

Where is my...?

Pig 2: Reception committee
at your disposal, Sir.

TV announcer:
...a brand new automobile...

Cyril: Hey, lower!
Little to the left!

Freeze! Ha-haa!

TV announcer:
...master of ceremonies today...

Pig 1: Now we're done for.

Cyril: Who turned
off the power?!

I'll have his hide!

Pigs: Uuuh, oh, ouch!

Uuuh, oh, ouch!
[crash!]

Pig 1: Well Sir, it might have
something to do with...um,

Mammoth Power.
[nervous giggle]

Cyril: What?! Mammoth?

How dare he interrupt
my favorite show!

Pig 1: Ehm... Well,

perhaps it has
to do with the...[giggles]

...small matter of an...
unpaid [giggles]

bill, [giggles] Sir.

Cyril: No one interrupts my
television show! No one!!

Pigs: [crosstalking]
Oh no, Sir! No one, ever!

Cyril: Well... Mammoth has just
upset the balance of power

for the last time.
Now, who's got a match?

Pigs: [crosstalking]
Me, Sir, right here, Sir.

Narrator: The Raccoon-dominium
is abuzz this sunny morning

as Ralph and Melissa
prepare themselves

for a long awaited vacation.

Melissa: Ralph, I think we've
got everything we need

for our canoe trip.

Bert: Yeah, Ralphie, uh,

as an experienced explorer,

I can tell you,
you gotta travel light.

Ralph: Oh yeah,
that reminds me,

here Bert, pack these,
they'll come in handy.

Melissa: Oh no!

Bert: [chuckles]
Hey, listen to this,

'100 different moose calls',

'Travel by the stars',

'Official history
of the can opener'.

[laughs]

Ralph: Oh boy, am I looking
forward to this trip

to the great outdoors.

I just love roughing it!

Bert: Yeah, and you
won't even have cable!

Ralph: Well, that's it, Melissa.

Now we're ready for anything!

Melissa: Are you certain you'll
be fine on your own, Bert?

Bert: Aah, don't
worry about me, Melissa.

Cedric and I are
gonna hike, swim, fish,

bike and play some ball,

and then after lunch,

we'll catch a couple of movies,
and uh,

climb Freans Peak.

You know, relaxing stuff.

Ralph: There! It all fits,

and it's as light as a feather!

[knocking on the door]

Bert: That must be Cedric.

Gertie Raccoon:
Hi Melissa, Ralph?

Ralph: Oh-uh. Hi, aunt Gertie!

Gertie: It's so
good to see you!

Ralph: Uhm...aunt Gertie, we
were just...expecting you.

[whispers] She's not supposed to
arrive here till the 18th!

Bert: Huh?

Today is the 18th, Ralph!

Ralph: Oh no!

Gertie: And this must be Bert.

I've heard so much about you.

Bert: Ah yeah.

Pleased to meet you.
Can I get you a wheelchair?

I mean, I mean a chair?

Gertie: It's OK,
my legs still work, dear.

If I didn't know better,
I'd say you were just about

to go on a canoe trip.

Ralph: Well, I...

Melissa: The truth is,
aunt Gertie,

we were just on our way.

I guess Ralph forgot
you were coming.

Ralph: But it's
no problem, really.

We'll just go next week.

Gertie: I won't hear of it!
You've made plans to go,

and you're not going to
change them just for me.

Ralph: But we can't
leave you here alone.

Gertie: I'm sure
I'll be just fine.

And besides, young Bert
here can keep me company.

We'll go strolling in the woods,

pick some berries,

classify plants, and maybe even

whip up a batch of my special
peanut butter fudge.

Bert: Peanut butter fudge?

Gertie: Now, you two get along!

Ralph: Well, I don't know.

Bert: Oh yeah! Bye!

Arrivederci!

Ciao, have a good time, eh!

Hey, the day's going
long, you know?

There's no time
like the present.

Melissa/Ralph: Uhm...
bye aunt Gertie!

Bert: Don't forget
to write! Goodbye!

Now, did you say
something about

peanut butter fudge?

Cyril: Of course, you're
absolutely right, Mammoth.

It is a princely sum and a
payment this big

deserves a little ceremony.

[chuckles] So why don't you
come and collect in person?

We'll make a day of it.

A little picnic, little music,

and I'll see that you get
what's coming to you.

Fine, I'll see you then!

You'll get what's coming to you
all right, Mammoth!

The shock of your life!

Because I'm going to erect
the biggest dam ever built!

Not only will there be enough
power for Sneer Industries,

but I'll put you
out of business!

[laughs]

Pig 1: OK, let's go
over this one more time.

First we block off
the river upstream.

Pig 2: That's phase one.
Pig 3: That's phase one.

Pig 1: Right,
that holds back the river

so we can build the dam here.

Pig 2: That's phase two.
Pig 3: That's phase two.

Pig 1: Right, then we'll
put the pylons over there.

Pig 2: Stuts, beams
and conduits there

Pig 3: And...the turbine there!

Pig 1: But, first things first.

The Pig 2&3: Right!

The Pigs: Lunch!

Pig 2: [giggles]
This job should take months,

maybe even years.

[phone ringing]

Pig 1: Yes, Sir.


That's a good one, Sir!

Isn't that a good one, boys?

[Pigs laughing]

Cyril: That's no joke!!

Pig 1: No, no you're right Sir,
that that's no joke!

Lunch break's over!

♪

Bert: Gee, aunt Gertie,
all that baking

must have really
tuckered you out.

Can I get you a pillow
for your bunions?

Eh, perhaps
a little prune tea?

Gertie: Bert? I'm a little
tougher than you think.

Bert: Oh yeah, I'm sure you are,

but, we'll talk about it
after your nap.

Say, would you like
a glass for your teeth?

Broo: [happy barking]

Cedric: Hi Bert,
ready to go hiking?

Bert: Shhhh!

It's aunt Gertie,
she's very old.

She's having a nap.
Gertie: No, I'm not!

And who's this fine pink fellow?

Cedric: I'm Cedric Sneer.
I'm pleased to meet you.

Broo: Woof-woof!

Cedric: Oh, and this is Broo.

Gertie: What's this
about a hike, boys?

Cedric: Ohh Bert and I are going
to hike on Evergreen Mountain.

Bert: Oh, Cedric is talking
about the price hike

on, ehm, chocolate pudding.
[giggles]

Gertie: Hiking
is my middle name.

Cedric: Mine is Sydney.
[giggles]

Gertie: We could do
some bird watching!

I just have to pack
a few essentials...eh,

I'll be back in a flash!

Yahoooo!!!

Bert: Bird watching?!
[laughs]

Oh boy, I hope we
can take the strain.

Cedric: Yeah! [laughs]

Gertie: Well,
let's get a move on!

♪

Ralph: Wow, the great outdoors!

Fresh air, peaceful waters!

Nature at its best!

Isn't it great that we
can share all this together?

Wowwww!

Ouch!

Melissa: Never stand
in a canoe, Ralph.

It could be dangerous.

Ralph: Melissa, I think it's
time we started looking

for a place to set up
camp for the night.

Melissa: We've only
been gone a few hours.

Ralph: Well, you don't want to
overdo it on the first day.

Hmm...I wonder how things are
back at the Raccoon-dominium.

Cedric/Bert:
[exhausted breathing]

Bert: Aunt...Gertie,
maybe you should rest.

You look a little...tired.

Cedric: Yeah...exhausted!

Gertie: Look boys, there's a

very yellow breasted
knee-slapper!

Boys? Boys?!

Boys, now that you mention it,

it seems like a good
time for a break.

Cedric/Bert: [relieve sigh]

Gertie: Here's some juice
and a little ice,

some chocolate pudding and...

Cedric: Chocolate pudding?!

Gertie: I've always
found it comes in handy

in the wilds
of the forest.

Bert: Boy, this'll be a lot
easier than bird watching.

[water whooshing]

Pig 2: Uh,
that's the last of it!

Pig 1: When we unleash
this water tomorrow,

there will be enough electricity
to make the lights on Broadway

look like a 10-watt bulb!

Cyril: Get the lead out!

You bears are slower
than the service

in a French restaurant.

Pig 3: But Sir,
the entire crew has been

working all night,
they can't work any faster!

Pig 2: That's correct, Sir.

Engineering statistics indicate
the dam, such as this,

take 100 times more
bear's hours to build

than you're allowing.

Cyril: Unless you
meet that deadline,

you'll become an engineering
statistic! Capiche?

I want you to move
at double speed.

We're going to open on schedule
and when Mammoth turns up

at our little gala opening,

he'll see who holds the power!

Gertie: Alright,
boys, rise and shine.

The day's almost over.

Boys: Almost over!?

Bert: What time is?
Gertie: 6:15!

Bert: 6:15?!?

Gertie: Yep! I've got a great
expedition planned for us today.

Bert: Please! No more strolls.

I've walked more
than a 300 hitter.

Gertie: Don't worry Bert, you
won't have to take a step.

Cedric: How can you have an
expedition without walking?

[rumbling sounds]
Uhg?!

Bert: What's that?

[rumbling sounds]

Gertie: Meet Betsy, boys!
Isn't she a beaut...?

Cedric: Ugh, Gertie, isn't a
motor bike a little risky

for someone your.. ugh.. age?

Gertie: Nonsense!!

Betsy and I have been
getting along just fine

together for quite some time.

[exhaust f*ring]
Cedric: [shrieks]

Gertie: Well, what are you
waiting for, Pinkie? Hop in!

Cedric: Well, um..

I'd rather not!

Pig: Master Cedric, your father
requests your presence

immediately for
his gala opening!

Cedric: A gala opening?

Well, I wish I could go along
for the ride, aunt Gertie,

but duty calls...

See you later, bye.

Gertie: Bye bye, Pinky.

[tires screeching]

Bert: Well, it looks
like, it's you and me.

Are you sure you don't
want me to drive?

Gertie: I think I
can handle it, Bert.

I have for the last 40 years.

Bert: 40...years?!

OK, then, off we go.

Let her rip, Aunt Gertie!

Gertie: Hold on to your hat,
Bert. Here we go!

[motor revving]

Ralph: Aaah! What
a great night's sleep.

I always wake up
refreshed out here.

and I can't wait to get going...

Yikes.
[splash!]

What in the world? Melissa?

Melissa: What is it, Ralph?

Hey, I don't remember
pitching the tent

this close to the water.

Something strange
is going on here.

Ralph: Nonsense, Melissa!

It must have been a heavy dew.

[loud snoring]

Cyril: We have precious few
hours to finish this!

Now, get going!
