Fantastic Mr Fox, The Page #7

---

in your eyes, isn't there?

Yes, I'm right.

Let's review the principle of

... techniques:

...jumping, flipping, landing.

You're a good boy.

A little lonely, maybe, but...

...terribly sweet.

Is your name Spitz?

That's German, isn't it?

Now for a rudimentary version

of the cyclone chop.

First, you need to get a running start,

which obviously, I can't do in here,

...then, as you arrive at the

destination of the chop...

...lean and thrust

into the point of contact,

...paw remains open and straight,

then withdraw instantaneously.

Remember, it's the pull back

that matters.

The pull back generates

the force of the impact.

Got it.

Yeah, I'm just gonna chop

this thing right off.

He's gonna do it!

Why, you're just as sweet as...

I thought he said: never look

a beagle in the eye.

Did... Did you chop it?

Oh, no! No! No!

Kristofferson?

Kristofferson!

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

- I'm sorry.

- That's alright.

You were just trying to

unlock the apple crate.

No, I mean, Im sorry about...

Oh, you mean from before.

The apology you owed me

which you never actually said.

Right. I'm grumpy.

I spit. I wake up

on the wrong side of the bed.

I'm just...

...different, apparently.

But... it won't happen again.

Kristofferson, I'm sorry.

That's alright, too.

Throw me the shoelace, please.

Are you okay?

He's wearing it.

Your tractors uprooted my tree.

Your posse hunted my family.

Your gunmen kidnapped my nephew.

Your rat insulted my wife...

...and you shot off my tail.

I'm not leaving here

without that neck tie.

Kill him!

Actually, we should just go.

Where did I park?

I weigh less than a slice of bread.

- What?

- I'll be right back.

Ash!?

Dodge the grabbers,

duck the taggers,

...jump the twig basket and...

...knock the cedar-stick

off the cross-rock.

Hot box!

Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.

One fat, one short, one lean.

These horrible crooks,

so different in looks,

...were nonetheless equally mean.

Ash, that was pure,

wild animal craziness.

You're an athlete.

Here, put this bandit hat on.

Goggles!

Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.

One fat, one short, one lean.

These horrible crooks,

Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.

One fat, one short, one lean.

Are you gonna...?

Holy swearing cuss!

Petey! Bring us a ladder, please.

Stand by!

I just intercepted a high frequency

radio signal with the can.

And I think they're on their way home!

Don't turn around.

- What?

Where did he come from?

Where did you come from?

What are you doing here?

Canis lupus!

Vulpes Vulpes!

I don't think he speaks

English or Latin.

Pensez-vous que I'hiver sera rude?

I'm asking if he thinks

we're in for a hard winter.

He doesn't seem to know.

I have a phobia of wolves!

What a beautiful creature.

Wish him luck, boys.

- Good luck.

- Good luck out there.

These three, in this reporter's opinion,

obsessed farmers...

...remain convinced the fox in question

will eventually reappear.

Why?

Because foxes aren't meant

to live in a sewer.

- They're refugees.

- All they have to eat down there is...

Trash!

And not much of it.

Thank you, farmers.

For Action Twelve,

this is Dan Peabody.

What are we looking at?

- It's just his tonsils. They're little swelled.

- Oh, is it serious?

- No, hopefully, he wants to lose them.

- Lose the tonsils?

- Let's...

- I'm hungry.

- Well, have some water. Here.

I like walking.

My darlings?

- Where are we going?

- Nobody knows.

We were in the middle

of a meditation practice.

Watch your step.

Let's see, now.

Where does this lead?

- Oh, no, Foxy. It's filthy.

- Keep a good grip, everyone.

- This better be worth it.

- I think I see...

...a little sliver of light.

What's this?

- Is it a door?

- You're a terrible actor, Foxy.

Do you smell something?

Is that... freon?

I'm gonna crack open

this trap door...

...and see if something's

on the other side.

I highly doubt it, though.

There's probably just more sewer.

- You know, wouldn't it be surprising if

- Open it.

Hey, look! There's a whole,

enormous, glorious,

...gigantic supermarket up here!

And they close early on weekends.

You really are kind of

a quote-unquote fantastic fox.

I try.

Get enough to share with everybody,

and remember...

...the Rabbits are vegetarians, and

Badger's supposedly can't eat walnuts.

I guess now that Kristofferson's dad's

already down to single pneumonia...

...and getting better, he'll be

going home soon, huh?

Actually, when he spoke to me

from the hospital, he said...

...he was already talking to Weasel

about real estate availabilities

...down in our sewer system.

Oh, really?

Well, now's the time to buy.

Okay, I get it.

Is that your trademark?

I'm pregnant again.

Wow!

I think we're both glowing.

Do another toast, Dad.

Okay. Let's see.

Yeah. Right.

Okay!

They say all foxes are

slightly allergic to linoleum.

But it's cool to the paw.

Try it.

They say my tail needs to be

dry cleaned twice a month...

...but now its fully detachable.

See?

They say our tree

may never grow back.

But, one day, something will.

Yes, these crackles are made out of

synthetic goose,

...and these Giblets come

from artificial squab.

And even these apples look fake...

...but at least they've got

stars on them.

I guess my point is...

we'll eat tonight,

and we'll eat together,

...and even in this

not particularly flattering light,

...you are without a doubt,

the five-and-a-half...

...most wonderful wild animals

I've ever met...

...in my life.

So let's raise our boxes.

To our...

...survival!

How was that?

That was a good toast.

Well there she goes

with a brand new love affair

Dancing with him like

she don't even care

Well let her dance with him,

let her dance all night long

Well who would've known

that just yesterday

She danced with me the very same way

Well let her dance with him,

let her dance all night long
