Peter Rabbit Page #3

---

I see the gates are back up.

I guess you weren't

the prodigal son after all.

That'll do, pig. That'll do.

It was a fun night, though.

I haven't eaten that much

in a long time.

The diet starts now.

Now.

-Now.

-Hey, look.

Hello. Sorry.

I didn't mean to startle you. I'm Bea.

I just live over here.

Hello. I'm Thomas.

I live way over there in London.

That way.

Yes. I'm just here temporarily.

I'm xing up this place to sell,

using the proceeds

to open my own toy store,

preferably near Harrods

so they can witness their own downfall.

Oh, my. Thats a lot

of information right there.

-Sorry.

-Good for you

for not being afraid to open up.

-What are they saying?

-I can read lips.

I'm just a little out of my element.

I think you'll find the elements

here are pretty fabulous.

"I think you'll nd

the elephants around here

"are really flatulent."

What?

In my opinion, it's just the

most beautiful place on Earth.

Well, itjust got a lot more beautiful.

You didn'tjust say that.

And clean, sturdy, functional.

Oh, the gate.

-Yes.

-I thought you were saying

-l was beautiful.

-Did you...

No, no, no. No, I wouldn't say that.

I wouldn't say that.

-I would say that. I'm not...

-No, hey, I'm not fishing.

-lt's ne.

-You are beautiful.

And you're different to the gate.

I can't read lips, but I know her,

and she's telling him

to take down those gates,

and let us into the garden.

Well, enjoy your brief stay.

Just, please,

don't be like the nasty old man

who used to live here.

He was a real twit.

-He was my uncle.

-You didn't let me finish.

He was a real...

Sorry, I can't...

No. There's no saving that one.

He was a real twit.

-No offense.

-None taken.

-I never knew him.

-You seem much more reasonable.

Do I?

Although, I must say, these

gates are incredibly sturdy.

Are you expecting an alien invasion?

I just need to keep the wildlife

out where they belong.

Well, they actually belong everywhere.

It was kind of their place first.

We're the latecomers.

How long does it take to say,

"Leave the gate open,

and let in the rabbits"?

Leave the gate open,

and let in the rabbits.

I certainly will, madam.

And might I say, those rabbits

are incredibly cute.

Especially the one

with the blue coat. He's my favorite.

And oh, here's a present.

Wait. Why is she bringing him a present?

It's for bird-watching.

Thank you.

There's one. It has wings.

Yes, that's a pretty defining feature

of the bird, I think you'll nd.

You spotted your first bird.

Make sure to mark it down later.

Mark it down?

So theres a way of organizing

and documenting the chaos of the sky?

Yes.

Well, it was nice to meet you, Thomas.

Yes, you, too.

And let's keep this gate open, shall we,

so the wildlife can run free?

-Absolutely.

-She did it.

We're in. Come on.

Maybe it's not so bad here, after all.

-No.

-I don't care.

- | 'm going in.

-Right behind you.

No. Not a chance.

You remember what happened

to Dad, right?

But you go in all the time.

That's my character flaw.

You get your own character flaw.

-Come on, Benjamin.

-Why does he get to go?

Yeah, why do l have to go in?

Because that's his character flaw.

He goes along with everything I say,

no matter how stupid and reckless it is.

No, I don't! You're not the boss of me!

-Benjamin.

-Coming!

I can't let him go in by himself.

He's being stupid and reckless.

I hope they're going to be okay.

They'll be ne, and if not,

I guess I'll just be

the new head of the family.

Peter, please be okay!

I'm still so out of shape.

How's it working with the putting

the dressing on the side?

Good. But I don't understand why

it's healthier to drink it all at once.

Disgusting.

Come on.

What'd I tell ya?

Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

-Rats.

-Run!

Hello.

This guy is so much faster

than the old one.

I think we have a problem.

-What is it?

-Everything's upside down.

Where are you?

We never should have come in the garden.

No guts, no glory.

Are you ever scared of anything?

Yeah. Dying alone.

That's why I brought you here.

Do you know what we do

with rats in the city?

We find them, and we exterminate them.

Benjamin.

-Follow me.

-I can't see anything.

-Follow my voice.

-I can't hear anything!

Follow your heart?

What?

That way, that way, that way.

Play dead.

This is what happens

when you make a McGregor look foolish

playing carnival games in the shed.

You see this, everyone?

This is what happens!

Why am I talking to wildlife?

lam losing my mind.

I do... They're not going to respond.

Come on, come on!

Jump!

Okay, okay. Flopsy, take the bag,

go to the window

and you put it over his head.

Okay.

Mopsy, you take the bag,

go over to the window,

put it over his head.

Cotton-Tail, take the bag...

-Just give him a wet willy.

-Got it.

No!

You okay, big guy?

Close one, huh?

I could've been killed.

And notjust me.

What if he got the girls?

This isnt a joke, Peter.

I know.

I'm sorry.

You're all right though, right?

I got your jacket back.

It's not as symbolic as mine.

You know, not being your dad's and all.

And it's brown, too, which is

a mistake because you're brown.

I mean, brown on brown, who wears that?

It's a bit matchymatchy.

Yeah, it's actually a bit confusing.

Half the time we think you're naked.

| just look for the buttons.

But then one time, it was your nipples.

Anyway, you got it back,

and you're okay.

No thanks to him. Look at him.

Skinny bag of wet.

Now, turn around

and drive us home, Eugene.

Here's good.

New to the area.

Probably taking the next turn.

Just using more fuel. Not a surprise

that he's not environmentally friendly.

Hey, we don't inherit the Earth,

we borrow it from our children.

I read that on a plastic cup.

If you do a U-turn...

It's actually a safe place

for a U-turn here.

I think that's the...

-Where...

-Where is he taking us?

He's taking us into town.

-So this is London.

-Wow.

Big Ben! Wow!

It's gigantic.

I hope you appreciate this, Flopsy.

I never got to travel

when l was your age.

What? You were my age,

like, three streets ago.

It goes so fast.

This must be Harrods.

Wow. Classy.

What can I do for you?

I have a vermin problem.

Rabbits, Im guessing.

-How do you know that?

-You're the new McGregor.

-Bea's neighbor.

-How do you know that?

-She mentioned you.

-She did?

What did she say?

That you want to sell

your house in a hurry

and use the profits

to open your own toy store,

preferably near Harrods,

so they can witness their own downfall.

That's incredibly specically accurate,

and a little disappointing.

Who do you think these guys are?

They're wearing aprons,

so that could mean only one thing.

-They're hedgehogs.

-They're hedgehogs.

Just make sure she doesn't find out

you're launching them rabbits.

She loves 'em. Like family.

Read their lips, Mopsy.

If I was a learned fellow,

I'd say she anthropomorphizes 'em

in lieu of any genuine

human interaction.
