Narrator: This is the
Evergreen forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until
Bert Raccoon wakes up.

Bert Raccoon: Yahoooo!

Yeeeehaaaa!

Yikes!

Yaaaah...

[smash!]

Yeaaaah!

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

Cyril: Well?

Cedric: You're not
going to like this, Pop.

But it seems you owe

$400,000 in back taxes.

Cyril: $400,000!!!

Did the pigs turn in
all their expense sheets?

Cedric: Gee Pop, I don't know.

Cyril: Where are those
lazy swine anyway?

Pig 2: Now we can go back
in time and change things,

Pig 3: It's fool proof.

Cyril: It must be,
if you pigs are using it.

What is this thing, anyway?

Pig 1: It's a
time machine, boss.

Pig 3: The possibilities
are endless.

Pig 1: Time travel could
make you a fortune!

Cyril: Hmmm.. time travel.

Lemme see this thing..

Pigs: Oh.

Cyril: Eh! Hmm..

Cedric: Gee, I don't
know about this, Pop.

Cyril: How do you start
this contraption anyway?

Pig 2: According to the manual
that came with the kit,

uhm.. you just press these.

Cyril: [laughs]

[humming]

[loud whirring, rumbling]

Pigs: Uh-oh!

[loud humming]

[ka-blam!]

Cedric: Pop!!

♪♪

Cyril: Aaaah! Agh!

Pig 2: Oooh!

The time machine.
It works! It works!!

Cyril: Great! Now, let's
start making money!

Computer T.O.M.: Hey!

That's a real go getter attitude
you've got there, Cyril.

Cyril: Who said that?!

T.O.M.: My card.
Cyril: Tom?

T.O.M.: That's me. Time
Observation Monitor.

Time tripping, my speciality.

Cyril: Well, then if you run
this thing let's see it work.

I need money! A king's ransom.
Wait a minute.

Kings..knights..you can
change anything, right?

T.O.M.: Whatever you say, Cyril.

Cyril: Then take me back to
the time the King and Queen

were expected in
the Evergreen forest.

[buzzing]
Cyril/Pig: Uah!

[bleep, blarp, bleep]

T.O.M.: This is the time
you wanted, Cyril.

Rumour has it that the King and
Queen are visiting the forest.

Ralph: The royal family?

How soon do they arrive?

T.O.M.: Here's your main chance
to get back the knighthood

lost by your
great-great-great uncle,

Excalibur Sneer.

Cyril: Oh, this was a major
embarrassment in my life.

T.O.M.: What's this?

Bert Raccoon after
that same knighthood.

Pig 2: There's only supposed
to be one knight per forest.

T.O.M.: Absolutely.

And just look at that mansion.

By the looks of it,
you really expected to be

that one particular knight.

Cyril: Of course I did.
Now get on with it!

T.O.M.: Which is just
what Bert's doing.

'Cause he knows that you
can't become a knight

without a Rite of Passage.

Bert: [giggles]

T.O.M.: He's got the sword..

He's got the shield..

He's got the hair
from a savage beast.

Snag: [growling]

T.O.M.: I'd say he's doing well.

Cyril: Who asked you?

T.O.M.: And now he's got
the most precious thing

in the Evergreen forest.

Bert: That's it!
I've got it all!

T.O.M.: Oops, no he doesn't.

You've stolen it.

Ah, no point in doing all the
work yourself, right Cyril?

Pig 2: No. We usually do that.

[giggles]

T.O.M.: And here it is.

Cyril's big night!

Come on down, Cyril Sneer!

Cyril: Where'd you get this

trash-talking
time machine anyway??

T.O.M.: Shhh. This is
my favourite part.

Your stage debut, Cyril.

Cyril: You mean that
this is all a play?

Beaver: Ooh, that's your cue.

Cyril: My what?
Hey, stop pushing!

Don't you realize, who I am?

Oh! Ha-ha!

Ralph: Ah-ha! What brings you,

fair knight to our forest?

Cyril: I was just in the
neighborhood..I..I

I just thought I'd drop by.

[thud!]

Ooh!

[audience laughing]

Bert: Hey,
what's
going on, guys?

Cedric: [laughing]

It's all been a big
misunderstanding, Bert.

The King and Queen
aren't really coming.

Ralph and Melissa are
just putting on a play.

Bert: A play?!

You mean, that
this was all a play?

Whew. This could have
been embarrassing.

Cedric: [giggles]
It is! Look at Pop!

[laughs]

Cyril: My son..the traitor!

Melissa: Gentle, Sir!

Have you brought a gift
for this great occasion?

Cyril: What?! Um..

Yes, I've brought
with me the most

precious object in the Kingdom.

What the heck is it anyway?

[struggles]

Ah!

Peanut butter?! This is
a precious object?!!

What in the blue blood is this?

Melissa: [laughing]

Ralph: [laughing]

Pig: [giggling]

Cyril: Put 'er in reverse.

Stop it..right..here.

Now get me in there.

T.O.M.: Just step over on to
the transport plate, Cyril.

Cyril: I'm ready. Hit it!

[bleep, blurp]

[loud roar]

Uaaaaaaah!

T.O.M.: Oooops!

Cyril: The quality of
money is not strained.

It droppeth from heaven
on my place beneath.

It blesseth him that takes

and him that invests.

[audience cheering]

♪ [royal trumpet]

Cyril: Your Majesty.

King: I have come to the
Evergreen forest

to reinstate the
good name of Sneer.

Arise, Sir Cyril,

Lord of the Evergreen forest,

and owner of all
the lands therein.

Here are the deeds.

Rule wisely and well.

Cyril: [chuckles]
[audience cheering]

Beam me up, now!

[bleep, blurp]

Pig 2: [giggles]
Oh, welcome back.

Marvelous show, Sir.

Cyril: That's Sir! Sir, to you!

T.O.M.: Time to go home, Cyril.

I need my beauty rest.

And by the looks
of things, so do you.

Cyril: Forget it. We're
taking another little trip.

Pig 2: Oh, where to, boss?

Cyril: We're going to shut
down that rag of a newspaper

those meddling Raccoons
love so much.

I missed my chance before,

but I won't miss this time..

Not with my time machine!

[laughter]

[rumbling]
Who taught you to drive anyway?

T.O.M.: Cyril, time is
a very delicate thing.

[boom!]
Every time you change history,

you set up shock waves
that affect the future.

You just felt one.

Cyril: Are we there yet?

T.O.M.: Yeah, Cyril,
here we go again.

There you are, doing
what you do best..

plotting.

This time you're getting
Mr. Knox to help you buy up

all the ink and
paper everywhere.

just to shut down the
Evergreen Standard newspaper.

Nasty plan, but nice logic.

No paper. No paper!!

♪♪

T.O.M.: The first time around,
you made a deal to pay Knox

in gold, even tough it would
take

everything you had.
Pig: One,

two, four, five, six..

Cedric: Um, you missed three.

T.O.M.: Your biggest problem was
the deadline.

Knox wanted it by
noon on the thirteenth.

And you missed the
deadline, didn't you?

The pigs thought your
gold count was low.

They decided to help out by
making gold from a formula

they found in one of your books.

Cyril: Very commendable.

T.O.M.: However, an electrical
failure interrupted their work.

Pig: Uaaaaaah!

T.O.M.: So the decided to carry
on

at the top of Frean's Peak,

using lightening to
power their experiment.

Unknown to them, Bert Raccoon
had similar idea,

but he hoped to make gold
to save the Standard,

because he's a nice guy.

[loud rumble]

Both experiments failed,

but Bert ended up with the gold.

Your gold, Cyril.

Cyril: My gold?!

Pig 2: It-it was
an accident, boss.

Ehm, ehm, the book said, we
needed gold to make gold.

We got it back. Honest!

[nervous giggle]

T.O.M.: Well, here we are
at your press conference.

You're announcing your, um..

eh, takeover.

Melissa: So you're responsible
for our supplies being cut off?

Cedric: But Pop,
that's hardly nice.

Cyril: Nice?!
This is the nicest thing

that's ever happened to me.

Pigs, call Mr. Knox.

[phone ringing]

Pig 1: Hello?

Uh..really?

Are you sure?!

Heh-heh. Ok, bye.

[chuckles]

Cyril: Who was that?
Pig 1: Uh, heh-eh..

It was uh, Mr Knox's office.

Eh, it seems you're a
little too late..

[rumbling sound]












Cyril: Ya know, you pigs
are really revolting

when you sweat like that.

Pig 1: Uh, he-heh. Sorry, boss.

You missed the deadline, Sir..

They won't sell.

Cyril: What?! But
it isn't noon yet.

He has to sell.

Pig 1: They just told me
it's three minutes past.

Cyril: Three minutes past?

How's that possible?

Who set that clock?

Who?!!

Speak up..I'll make
an example of them.

Cedric: I..I.. I think,
you forget something, Pop..

Um..[quiet mumbling]

Cyril: Speak up.
What secret policy?

Cedric: Uh..maybe, I
shouldn't mention it

in front of the employees?

Cyril: Blast them!!

Tell me.

Cedric: Well Pop, you
rigged the clock years ago

to be five minutes slow

so you can get more
work out of them

and not have to pay
them for it..

g*ng: [laughing]













You must have forgotten.

[laughter]

[loud rumble]













Cyril: Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!

T.O.M.: Step onto
the transporter pad,

and we'll get this sordid
little deal over with.

Cyril: Just make sure, I get
that five minutes I need.

[bleep, bloop]

[clock ticking]

[phone ringing]

Knox? It's me again.

Do you still want
to make a deal?

Great. Hang on.

Well, I can make this
deal with Knox right now

and shut down the
Evergreen Standard

for good..
Ralph: [gasps]

Or.. I can take
over the paper,

and you work for me.

[laughing]

Melissa: We'll
never work for you!

Cyril: Knox? Looks
like we've got a deal..

Ralph: No, wait!!

[sighs] We'll sign.

Cyril: Sorry Knox,
the deal's off.

But let's do lunch..soon.

[laughing]

[bleep, blurp]

T.O.M.: These time storms are
draining my energy reserves.

If we don't go now,
we may never go.

Cyril: I'll risk it.

Now, take me to when those
Raccoons cheated me out of

a King's ransom
in pirate treasure.

Not even solid rock.

solid rock between his ears,

them into the cave

and relieved Bert
and your own son
