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!

And his life would be simple

the Raccoons!!

Narrator: It's always a
special weekend

in the Evergreen forest

when Bentley Raccoon
comes to visit.

And on these special weekends

Bert Raccoon looks forward to
finding adventure

around every corner.

Of course things don't always
go as planned.

Because you never can tell
when fate might strike

like a bolt from the blue.

Cedric: First, I'll tell a joke
to lighten up the audience.

How's this?

A funny thing happened to me
on the way to the reunion.

Bert: Ya, ya?

Cedric: That's as far as I got.

Bert: Oh! Aren't you
nervous giving a speech

to a whole room full of people?

Cedric: Not really.

They're all old friends
from Young Aardvark Camp

and it is a father-son banquet,

so Pop will be there too.

That will make it easier.

[train horn sounding]

Bert: Hey, the train
is pulling in!

Come on, Cedric!

I don't want my
little buddy Bentley

to wait one minute for us.

[laughs] You, me and Bentley

are going to have
some fun this weekend.

Fishing, hiking...

yaahoooo!

♪♪

Bentley: Uncle Ralph,
Aunt Melissa, hi!

Ralph: Hi, Bentley!
Melissa: Hi, Bentley!

Bert: Hey, little buddy!
How are you doing?

Bentley: Hey, Bert! Cedric!

Cedric: Hi Bentley!

Bert: Oh boy, are we going
to have a great weekend!

Ehm.. well enough
of this mushy stuff.

Let's get going.

Bentley: Hang on a minute, Bert.

We are forgetting somebody.

Lisa: Hi.
Bert: Huh?

Lisa: I'm Lisa,
Bentley's sister.

Bert: S-s-sis..
Lisa: So you're Bert?

Bert: Oh, well..






Lisa: It's nice to
finally meet you.

Bert: Um, ehm..

Melissa: Welcome to the
Evergreen forest, Lisa.

It's so good to see you.

Ralph: Hello, Lisa. I hope,
you had a nice trip in.

Lisa: Oh, it was fun.

Bentley: Bert? Bert,
are you all right?

Bert: Lisa. What a nice name!

Bentley: Oh no, not Bert!

Cyril:

Cyril: I'm

Cyril: I'm telling

Cyril: I'm telling you,

Cyril: I'm telling you, Knox,

this is the business proposal
of the century!

And because I like you,
I'm going to let you in on it.

It will make me...us a fortune.

Mr. Knox: I'm flattered
you'd consider me, Sir,

but I'm afraid I have
another engagement.

Cyril: I knew you'd
see it that way, Knox,

...and, what?!

Mr. Knox: An old friend
of Lady Baden-Baden's

is arriving shortly
to spend the weekend.

Perhaps you've heard of him,
Mr. J.P. Gordon?

Cyril: The J.P. Gordon?

He's staying at your
place?! This weekend?

Ha! I've worshipped that man

since I was knee-high
to a cash register.

Why, his books were the
blueprint for my success.

You must have read them.

'How to gouge
your way to the top.'

Couldn't put it down

and of course his great
financial therapy book:

'I'm ok, and that's
good enough.'

[laughter]

Mr. Knox: Yes, yes, I'm sure.

Well, ehm, I must be going, Sir.

Cyril: Wait!! Tea?
Mr. Knox: No, Sir.

Cyril: I've got to meet him.

Pig: Oh!
[bam!]

Mr. Knox: J.P. is a
very private man, Sir,

and I'd be obliged,

if you'd respect his privacy,

while he is a guest in my home.

Cyril: I'm on one knee.

Mr. Knox: Hmmm, persuasive.

I'll try to bring
J.P. around to meet you,

if time allows.

Cyril: Rats!
Knox has no intention

of bringing him around.

He and J.P. are going
to cut a deal. I know it!

They are not going
to leave me out of it.

When J.P. Gordon sees my
proposal, he'll jump at it.

[laughing]

Bert: Now this one is my
red-eyed jumper bug.

You can't miss with this one!

Why, I remember the time
I hauled in a whopper!

Bentley: Bert, how long
do we have to sit around

listening to the
history of your lures.

I'd rather go fishing than sit
around talking about it.

Cedric: Yeah Bert.
I don't know why

you want to hang around here.

Bert: I'm not hanging around.

Melissa: Are you ready, Lisa?
Lisa: Yes, Melissa, let's go.

Bert: Hi, Lisa.

Nice day isn't it today?

Bentley: Yeah, Bert, a nice
day for fishing. Let's go!

Bert: So.. ehm-ehm,
do you like fishing, Lisa?

Lisa: Oh no! There is too
many slimy things involved.

Bert: My feelings exactly.

Fishing is just...

too slimy for words.

I never did like fishing.

Cedric: What?

Bentley: Come on, Cedric.
We might as well go.

I think Bert's happier here.

Cedric: If you change
your mind, Bert,

we'll be at your
favorite fishing hole.

Bert: Oh, that Cedric!

[chuckles] What a kidder!

Melissa: We'll be back
in time for dinner.

See you, Bert.
Lisa: See you later, Bert.

Bert: Oh, she said,
'see you later, Bert.'

Oh! Wow!

Cyril: What's
happening up there?

Pig: J.P.'s still in
the office with Mr. Knox.

It doesn't look like
they are coming out, boss.

Cyril: Well, I can't
wait here all day.

If they're not coming out,
I'm going in!

I'll get this proposal to J.P.
if it's the last thing I do.

Fluffy: [growling]

[growling]
Cyril: Nice, doggy! Stay boy!

[growling]
Cyril: I get you a steak!

Lady Baden-Baden: Yoohoo!

Fluffy! Come here
you naughty boy!

Cyril: Ehm, so much for
the direct approach.

Bert: Hmm.. 'Dating made easy

in 501 easy lessons.'

Gee, that doesn't
sound easy to me.

Maybe there's something on TV.

TV Lady: Oh Rip,
how can we go on like this?

TV man: Our love will
see us through, Virginia.

As long as we're together,

the rest of the world
doesn't matter.

Without you darling, the
skies are grey and bleak.

Bert: Without you Lisa,

the skies are grey and bleak.

Sheesh!

Bentley: Oh Lisa, how
can I go on without you?

Blech!

Bert: Bentley! Cedric! Heh-heh,

w-w-when did you get here?

Cedric: Are you ok, Bert?

First you give up fishing

and now you are
watching mushy movies.

TV lady: I love you, Rip!

Bert: Well, a fellow can expand
his interests, if he wants.

Bentley: Aww, come on Cedric.

It's obvious, Bert's in love.

Cedric: Bert, is that true?

Are you in love?

Bert: Me? Ha! In love?

Ha, ha, ha.

Boy, you're really
funny, Cedric.

Me, Bert Raccoon in love.

Oh hardy har har!
[laughs]

You're a regular riot, Cedric.!

Ha, ha, ha!

Me in love!

Bentley: Bert and Lisa
sitting in a tree.

K-i-s-s-i-n-g.

Bert: However, Bentley,
you are not so very funny!

Bentley/Cedric: [giggle]

Pig:

Pig: That's

Pig: That's J.P.'s

Pig: That's J.P.'s room,

Pig: That's J.P.'s room, Sir,

and he's in there right now.

Pig 2: Here's the proposal, Sir.

Good luck and good hunting.

Cyril: Hunting shmunting!

I'm going to show Knox

what making a business
deal is all about.

When I get through with him,

he'll be alligator pie.

Pig: Oh-oh!

Cyril: Aaaaahhh! Ah!
[loud crash!]

Of all the plants
in all the world... ouch!

Lady Baden-Baden
has to grow cactus!

Oww!

Cedric: Gee, what happened, Pop?

Cyril: Ow!

Nothing son...yet.

But I'm on the verge of
signing my biggest deal ever!

Ouch!

Heh-heh! All I need
is the, ehm, signature.

Cedric: Gee, that's great, Pop!

I hope you have it all
wrapped up before we leave.

Cyril: Leave?

Cedric: The Young Aardvarks
reunion, Pop, remember?

We're heading out
this evening...aren't we?

Cyril: Oh yes!
Sure we are. You bet.

Cedric: Great!
See you later, Pop.

Cyril: Ya, see you later, son.

Bentley: Wow! You've got
Fog Man number one!

The Undesirables,
The Caped Kid and The Mole Lady!

Bert: Hey Bentley,
what do you think?

Bentley: I think you look like
one of the Undesirables.

Bert: Says you.

Eh, what does a kid know
about being suave anyway?

Bentley: Lisa hates
that cologne, Bert.

Bert: She does?

Bentley: Hey Bert, are you
going to ask Lisa for a date?

Bert: And just
what makes you think

I want a date with your sister?

Do you think she'd
go out with me?

Not that I care you know but..

heh-heh, do you think she would?

Lisa: Hello, anybody home?

Hi, Bert. Hi, Bentley.

Bert: Oh, heh-he, L-L-Lisa,

w-wh-what a surprise.

Lisa: Bert, what
happened to your hair?

Bentley: It's the
new wind swept look.

Lisa: Oh, I just wanted
to see your clubhouse, Bert.

Bentley has told
me so much about it.

You don't mind do you?

Bert: No, in fact I'm honoured.

Bentley: In fact Bert was
just wondering, if
you'd...

Bert: ...if you, ehm,
if you'd ehm, uhm, eh, ever uh,

played the tuba?

Lisa: Gee, I haven't, Bert, why?

Bert: Oh, he-he, no reason.

Say Bentley, why don't
you keep those comic books.

I've outgrown that stuff.

Bentley: How about your
baseball cards, Bert?

Have you outgrown them too?

Bert: Don't push it, Bentley.

Lisa: By the way Bert,

I haven't seen
the Blue Spruce Cafe yet.

Do you want to go
for a soda later?

Bert: Phaaaa!
A-a soda? Oh, oh sure!

W-when?

Bentley: Well, we're
going home tonight, Bert.

Make it before then!

Bert: Good idea. Ya,
ya, before you leave.

Lisa: Come on, Bentley.
We better pack.

Bentley: Ok.

Broo: [barking]

Bert: Oh Broo,
I've got a date!

Pig: J.P. and Knox are inside
the athletic club, boss.

Cyril: I can't picture
Knox doing push ups.

Pig: Oh my. They were here.

Pig 2: The steam bath, boss.

They must be in there.

Cyril: Good work, boys.

You'll get a raise for this.

Pig: A raise!

Cyril: J.P.? J.P. Gordon?

Have I got something for you!

Lady Baden-Baden: Oh!
There is a man in here!

[cross talking]

Pig: Oops, so
much for our raise.

Cyril: I've never been so
humiliated in my life,

you pea-brained porkers!

Pig: But boss, we were
sure he was in there.

Cedric: What's
happened now, Pop?

Cyril: Nothing I
want to think about.

I knew those porkers
spelled trouble...

Cedric: Well, I'm going
to the Standard office.

Bert called,
he needs some advise.

I'll just go from there and
meet you at the train station

at 6, ok Pop?

Cyril: Fine, 6 o'clock. Great!

Cedric: I got you a little
something for the

father-son banquet, Pop.
It's on your desk!

Cyril: Great, thanks son!

Bert: Say, Melissa?
Melissa: Yes, Bert?

Bert: How do you feel about
candlelight dinners?

Melissa: Love them, Bert.
They're so romantic!

Bert: Romantic, huh?

Melissa: Yup. Coming, Ralph?
Bentley's waiting.

Ralph: Coming, Melissa.
Got the prints?

Melissa: You bet.
Bert: Ralph?

Ralph: Yeah, Bert?
Bert: Ever have a girlfriend?

Ralph: Sure did, pal.

Bert: What happened?
Ralph: I married her.

Bert: Oh, yeah.

Ralph: Later, Bert.

Bert: Ok, Ralph.

Cedric: Hi, Bert.
Bert: Cedric!

Cedric: What's the emergency?

Bert: You've got to help!

I got a date with Lisa!

I.. I don't know what to do.

Cedric, I want you
to come with me.

Cedric: I can't go
on a date with you.

Besides, I've got to meet
Pop at the station soon.

Bert: Oh, fine! Great!
Thanks a lot, Cedric!

You're a great pal!

Oh my gosh, it's 4:30!
I gotta go!

Can't talk, I got a date!

[Phone ringing]

Cedric: Evergreen Standard.
Cyril: Cedric?

Cedric: Oh, hi Pop!

Cyril: Look son, I don't think
I'll be able to make that train.

It's this deal I'm working on.

You know how important
it is, don't you?

Cedric: I guess so, Pop.

Cyril: I just cannot leave
until I get the signature.

I may never have another chance.

You understand,
don't you Cedric?

I'm doing this for you.

I'll go with you next year, son.
I promise.

Cedric: Sure, Pop.

Bert:

Bert: I

Bert: I haven't

Bert: I haven't forgotten

Bert: I haven't forgotten
anything,

Bert: I haven't forgotten
anything, have

Bert: I haven't forgotten
anything, have I?

I've been through "so you're
going to have a date"

five times.

Oh, I'm sure
I've done everything.

Schaeffer: Bert, she's here.

Bert: Uaaa, she's here!

Schaeffer: Relax, Bert.
Everything's under control.

Bert: Uhm..

Lisa: Gee Bert, I had no idea
this would be so.. formal.

I'd have dressed up.

Bert: Au contraire, my dear.

You look stunning.

Shall we?

Lisa: I thought, we were just
going to have a soda, Bert.

Bert: Oh yeah, sure,
of course, heh-heh,

two sodas, please.

Schaeffer: My pleasure, Bert.

And shall I serve the
fettuccini a la Schaeffer now?

Lisa: Ah Bert, I'm not sure
I have time for dinner.

I've got to catch a train
in less than an hour.

Bert: No problem.
We'll eat right away.

Ehm, garcon, you may serve.

Cyril: All right, I'm through
p*ssy footing around.

We're going to tunnel
into Knox's mansion.

Pig: Oh, Lady Baden-Baden
won't like that, boss.

You know how she hates

muddy footprints
all over the house.

Cyril: Tough!
Pigs: Oh-oh-oh!

Cyril: Get the
drilling equipment

loaded in the limo! Pronto!
Pigs: Yes Sir!

Right the way, boss!

Cyril: I'll show Knox
he cannot ignore Cyril Sneer.

What's this?

If this is my birthday
then where is the.. cake?

'To the best Pop in the world,

on the occasion of our first

father-son banquet,

Love, Cedric.'

Oh, Cedric what have I done?

I can just make it!

[struggle]
Pig: Come on, Lloyd, pull!

Pig 2: I can't!

Pig 3: Who's that? Ah!

Hello!

Mr. Knox: Is Mr. Sneer about?

I brought J.P. Gordon
around to meet him,

as I said I would.

Pig: Um, ok. Um, oh, um..

Mr. Knox: Tell Mr. Sneer
we don't have much time.

Pig: Yes, Sir.

D-d-don't go away, S-s-sir.

Boss?

J.P. Gordon is here to see you.

Cyril: J.P. Gordon?

Tell Knox, I'm sorry!

I've got someone much
more important to meet.

Pig: [laughs]
You heard the boss.

I guess, he's too busy.
He he...

Mr. Knox: I'll be sure to pass
that on to J.P. Gordon.

[tires squealing]

Bert: Uhm, Lisa,

did you ever see that
old movie,

'Love is a Very Splendid Thing'?

Lisa: Why, sure.
Bert: Well, you know that scene

where Rip Tide and
Virginia Creeper

meet on the riverboat?

Lisa: And pledge
their undying love?

Ahhh.. it's one
of my favorites.

Bert: Good, good.

Well.. ehm, think of this
cafe as the riverboat.

Lisa: [giggles]
That sounds like fun.

Oh Rip, your eyes are like

the southern nights. [giggles]

Bert: Look, I'm trying
to be serious here, Lisa.

Lisa: [giggles]
Sorry Bert, go on.

Bert: I'm just trying
to tell you that.. well..

we were meant for each other.

Lisa: Oh Bert!

Bert: Ya?

Lisa: I'm flattered,

but we don't know each
other.. well enough.

I-I mean, I like you, Bert,

but as a.. friend.

Bert: Well, if that's
the way you feel about it.

Lisa: Oh Bert, don't
be angry with me.

Bert: Angry! Who's angry!
I'm not angry.

Well, gee, look at the time.

You better hurry or
you'll miss your train.

Lisa: Bert!

Bert: Thank you ever
so much for coming.

It's been a slice.

[door slams]

Lisa: [sighs]

I

I guess,

I guess, Bert,

I guess, Bert, isn't

I guess, Bert, isn't
coming

I guess, Bert, isn't
coming to

I guess, Bert, isn't
coming to say

I guess, Bert, isn't
coming to say goodbye.

I feel terrible, Melissa.

He must really be angry with me.

Bentley: Big deal!

Everybody gets angry
with sisters now and then.

Melissa: I'll tell him
how you feel, Lisa.

I'm sure he'll be all right.

He just needs a little time.

Lisa: Tell Bert I'll write him.

Cyril: Hold that train!

Excuse me, but
is this seat taken?

Cedric: Pop! I thought
you weren't coming.

Cyril: What?
And miss your speech?

Thanks for the cuff links, son.

They were exactly what I needed,

at just the right time!

And to think I almost gave up
a father-son banquet

to meet some snob of
a multi-millionaire.

I don't know, what came over me.

Cedric: Ah, that's ok, Pop.

Oh by the way,
I don't think you've met

Mr. J.P. Gordon, have you?

Mr. Gordon, this is my Pop!

J.P. Gordon: Your son has been
telling me all about you.

He's been giving
me some fine ideas

for my welcoming speech at
your father and son banquet.

I was hoping I'd have
the chance to meet you.

Cyril: Y-you were?

Lisa: Don't forget to say
goodbye to Bert for me!

Melissa: We will!

Bert: Goodbye, Lisa.

♪ Can you teach me..

Ralph: Honestly if I hear that
love song one more time.

Melissa: Oh, come on, Ralph!

Don't you remember what
your first crush felt like?

Ralph: Yeah, I had a hard
time getting over it,

but I wrote poetry.
It's quieter.

Cedric: Morning!
I brought your mail.

Ralph/Melissa:
Good morning, Cedric.

Cedric: I thought maybe,

Bert felt like
going fishing today?

Ralph: Well, you can try.

Maybe you'll have better
luck than I've had.

Melissa: Maybe you'll
have better luck

if you deliver this letter.

Cedric: Ok, Melissa.

Ralph: Hope it's a
recording contract,

then he could take
his show on the road.

Bert: Yaaaaahoo!

She wrote to me!

Lisa wrote a letter and
look how she signed it!

Look, look, look!
'Your friend always, Lisa.'

Ooh, isn't life wonderful?
