Narrator: The rivalry between
Cyril Sneer and Mr. Knox

has often made headlines
in the Evergreen Standard.

And once again, Bert, Raccoon,
Ralph and Melissa

have been invited to one of
Cyril's press conferences.

But this time the story is out
of this world.

And if Cyril Sneer has his way,

Mr. Knox will be
out of the picture.

Cyril: Recognize that?

Bert: Knox TV on every screen.

Gee, you must be
a real fan, Cyril!

Cyril: Fat chance, Raccoon!

The only show worth watching on
Knox's nitwit network

is Steal a Fortune.

It's time the wonderful people
out in TV Land had a choice.

Ralph: Just what sort of
choice are you offering

the wonderful people?

Cyril: Endless choice, Raccoon.

Endless choice. Step this way.

Bert: Wow, this
is the real thing.

Cyril: Ladies and
gentlemen of the press,

feast your eyes on...

Sneer One!

The most powerful communication
satellite ever built!

Melissa: So you're going to have
your own TV channel, Mr Sneer?

Cyril: Ha! I'm going
to have 340 TV channels

from around the world.


every household in the
Evergreen forest.

Cheap entertainment,
movies, soaps, news.

Why, my audience
will be able to watch


Ralph: 40 sports channels?!
You've got to be kidding!

Cyril: When it comes to numbers

Cyril Sneer does not kid!

Knox and his two-bit TV station

don't stand a chance!

You can quote me on that!

Ralph: Very ambitious Mr Sneer,

but it's one thing
to have a satellite,

and it's another thing
to put it into orbit.

Cyril: You want
ambitious, Raccoon?

Well, I'll show you ambitious.

[loud rumble]

[laughs] Sneer Enterprises is
about to enter the space age!

Bentley: Aw, come on!
You never let me have anything!

Nicole: Ohh, you
poor, deprived child!

George, why are we
such horrible monsters

to our wonderful little boy?

George: I guess
we're just rotten

through and through, Nicole.

Bentley: No, you're
the best, sweetest,

most understanding
parents in the world!

That's why you should
let me have a puppy.

Nicole: Bentley,
for the last time,

you cannot have a puppy
until you've proven

you're responsible
enough to take care of one.

Bentley: I just did
the dishes, didn't I?

And you didn't even have
to ask me. I am responsible!

Nicole: Uh-huh. And what
happened to your goldfish?

Bentley: But...
I was just a kid then.

If I had a puppy,
I'd walk him and feed him,

and I'd be the best
friend puppy ever had!

George: You heard
your mother, Bentley.

Bentley: Fine! I guess I'm
just gonna be a lonely boy

without a dog for the
rest of my natural life.

Sheesh!

Pig 1: Come on, come on,
we haven't got all day.

No, no! To the left!...Right!

Pig 2: So, um, what about
a nice bunch of flowers?

Pig 3: We gave mom
flowers yesterday.

Pig 1: Candy?

Pig 2: Last time we ate it on
the way home from the store.

Pig 3: We always give mom the
same old stuff for Mother's Day!

She deserves something
special for a change.

Cedric: Looks like
we're right on schedule, Pop.

The launch windows
open at 16:40 hours

Evergreen Standard time.

We still have to do the
satellite final systems checks,

and a final debug of
the computer programs.

Cyril: I haven't got a clue,
what you're talking about,

but it sounds
nice and technical.

Keep up the good work, son.

Pig 3: How about a nice
set of socket wrenches?

Pig 1: Not very sentimental.

Cyril: Cut the gab fest up there
before I cut your salaries!

Pig 2: Oh, oh, easy!
Over to the left!

No, no, right!

Not your right!!

Pig 1: Hm!

How do you cut back on nothing?

Cyril: We're going
to make history, son.

When this baby blasts off,

we're going to boldly broadcast

where no man has
broadcast before!

Pig 1: Where no man
has broadcast before?

Boys, I've got it!

This is gonna be a Mother's Day,

Mama will never forget!!

Ralph: Ugh! Uh!

Schaeffer: Okay,
we've got it in!

Now where do we put it?

Ralph: How about on the stage?

Everyone can see it from there!

Melissa: Whether
they want to or not.

Ralph: Oh, come on, Melissa.

We're going to get 340 channels,

of which 40 are sports channels!

Who wouldn't want to see it?

Melissa: But you can't
watch 40 sports channels.

Ralph: We're sure
gonna give it a try!

Schaeffer: You know, this
couldn't have come

at a better time.

The baseball playoffs are on.

Ralph: And we're right in the
middle of the football season.

Melissa: What? No hockey?

Ralph: She's right!
It starts next week!

[cheering]

Ralph: [chanting]
Go, go, go, go, go!

[stomping]

Schaeffer: Hip-hi-hooray!
Ralph: Yaaaaay!

Melissa: Gee, I sure wish you
guys would try and cheer up.

Bert: Hey, Bentley!

Boy, you outta see what
Cyril's up to this time!

He's got a rocket!

And he's gonna launch
a satellite and...

Hey little buddy, why so glum?

Bentley: I'm not
allowed to have a puppy

until I'm 'responsible.'

And how am I supposed
to get responsible,

if Mom and Dad won't let
me have a puppy to prove

I already am responsible?!

Bert: Yeah, that's
a toughie, all right.

Bentley: I don't understand
parents at all, Bert.

Bert: Wait, I got it!

What if Broo lived with
you for a couple of days?

You could take care of him,

you know, prove
you're responsible,

and presto, [laughs]
problem solved.

Bentley: Really?
You think I could do that?

Bert: If Broo doesn't
mind, it's okay by me.

Uh, what do you say, Broo?

Bentley: This is great!

I'll be the best puppy
watcher in the world!

Bert: Um, um, b-before
you go crazy,

you, you'd better check
it with your mom and dad.

Bentley: Yeah, right!
Don't go away!

Bert: I'm proud of you, Broo,

helping out a friend like this.

Broo: Woof!

Bentley: I don't believe it!

They said yes, he can stay here
for a whole couple of days!

Broo: [happy barking]

Bentley: Bert, you just made me

the happiest kid
in the universe.

Broo: [happy barking]

Ralph: Okay Schaeffer,
how about this?

If we change next Friday

from the hockey game
to the football game,

that means we can watch the
baseball playoff

and still catch
the golf tournament.

Schaeffer: Not bad, but what
about the Snooker challenge?

Ralph: Oh, yeah.

Wait, it's on during
the baseball game!

We can flip between innings.

Melissa: Ralph?
Ralph: Hi, Melissa.

Ohh. Hi, Nicole.
Didn't hear you
come in.

Melissa: Look what we got!

Tickets for the
ballet next Wednesday.

We stood in line
for two hours,
but...

Ralph: Wednesday, Wednesday...

Oh, here we are.

Oh, gee...not a chance, Melissa.

We've got to watch the
divisional synchronized

swimming finals on Wednesday.

Schaeffer: And third round sumo
wrestling is on right after.

Melissa: Oh, well.. you
couldn't miss that, could you?

Bert: Okay, now you've
got all Broo's stuff,

but we'd better go over
the list one more time.

Let's see...
you've got to walk him...

Bentley: ...four times a day.

Brush him once a day, he gets
two bowls of puppy munch,

and freshwater at all times.

I've got it, Bert, just relax!

Nicole: All set, Bentley?
Bentley: You bet!

Bert: Now you have a good time
with Bentley, okay little buddy?

Bentley: See you, Bert!
Come on, Broo.

Nicole: Don't worry,
Bert, Broo will be fine.

Pig: All right.

Bentley:
Hi, Mr. Sneer! What's up?

Cyril: Bentley, my boy,
the jig is up for Knox,

and Sneer stocks will be up.

That's what's up!
[laughs]

Say Bentley, how do you
like to step inside

and see the greatest feat
of aeronautical engineering

to hit this forest?

Bentley: You mean your rocket?
Bert told me about it,

but I never thought, I..

Cyril: Sorry kid,
no dogs allowed.

This is a clean facility,

or as clean as you can
get when you let pigs in.

Bentley: But Mr. Sneer,
I'm supposed to be

looking out for Broo.

Cyril: Up to you, Bentley.

Bentley: You'll be okay on
your own for a little while,

won't you, Broo?

Sure you will.

Just stay there.
I won't be long.

Uh...wait up, Mr Sneer!

[soft snoring]

Pig 1: There! Our Mother's Day
video greeting

will be the first thing
transmitted by this satellite!

We'll make history!

Pig 2: I'm not so
sure of this anymore.

If the boss finds out,
we'll be history!

Pig 1: Don't worry about it.

I set it to transmit
on Channel 76,

the Culture channel.

Pig 2: Perfect!

The boss'll never watch that
channel in a million years.

But Mom will!

Cyril: Mom'll what?
Pigs: Uaaah!

Pig 1: Oh, ehm, mama..
she'll, ehm, uh,

Pig 2: Oh, she'll be so proud

we checked out the monitor
camera in the satellite,

just like you told us to.
Pig 3: Uh-ho-ho!

Cyril: Uh huh!

Pig 1: And, uh, uh, all
other systems are A-okay,

at optimal and nominal
and, ehm, decimal...

Pig 2: Um, excuse us, boss.

We've got a few last minute
details to see to.

Cyril: Pretty impressive,
isn't it, Bentley?

I'd like to be humble
about the whole thing, but...

...it's just not me.

Cedric: Hiya, Bentley!
What do you think of it all?

Bentley: It's...well,
