Peter Rabbit Page #4

But he's not a learned fellow.

Which is why I think she's just got

a thing for those rabbits.

"Which is why I think she's just got

a thing for most man butts."

What would you suggest?

An electric fence will keep 'em out.

To launch 'em,

you'll need some repower.

Firepower seems like...

I don't want to...

Get down.

That's them! I knew it.

Where are you? I know you're in there.

Come out! I saw you!

Launch them. I want to launch them.

Right. Follow me.

It's okay. I've got 11 more ribs.

You actually have 13 on each side.

What?

Which is technically 26

because they go...

Now you're down to 19.

Again, you push this button.

The signal will travel

through the air to this.

This'll start the spark,

and anything near it will explode.

I do understand the fundamental

concepts of basic things.

It's tricky. A little bit.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Drive safe!

Just match its speed.

Do you know what?

That would never have worked.

Watch it, boxhead!

Leave him alone, babe.

He's just a country bumpkin.

Morons.

"Country bumpkin"?

I'm not a country bumpkin.

I'm from London,

which is where I'd like to...

-Thomas?

-Bea.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-How are you?

-I'm very well. You...

What are you doing here?

Just... Just picking up some,

hardware.

-lt's lovely to see you.

-What?

-Can I offer you a lift?

-Why is she here?

Oh, no. He's stealing her bike.

That's all right. It's more difcult

than I thought it was.

Oh, no. He's stealing her.

Oh, no.

She's going willingly and seems

to be enjoying his company.

Come on, come on.

Come on.

That's a lot of smiling.

More than before, even.

She is showing more teeth.

Must mean she likes him.

Not "aw."

She doesnt like him.

She's just really nice.

She smiles at us all the time.

Not like that.

Come in.

Would you like something to drink?

Yes, please.

Are these your paintings?

That's just a work in progress.

No, no, this is, this is beautiful.

Thank you.

What a majestic mountain range.

It's an old woman in a hat.

Right. Yeah. There's... There's the hat.

-That's her eyes.

-Yes.

-And that's her chin.

-lt's her foot.

That's her foot.

I'm allergic to blackberries.

I'm sorry. My throat closes up.

Allergic to blackberries?

Is that even a thing?

Is that where we've got to?

I mean, everyone's suddenly

allergic to everything.

Stop using it as a crutch!

You know, some people do have

legitimate medical conditions.

Of course, of course.

It's a real struggle

and my heart goes out to them.

It's very tough, very sad.

I don't want to get any letters.

But this guy, come on!

What about these?

That's just something I do for fun,

when I'm not focusing on my real work.

These are beautiful.

You don't have to say that.

I mean, they must be good

if I like them,

given how much I hate rabbits.

I mean, somehow, you managed to make

them look not like the vermin they are.

Vermin? Vermin?

-What does "vermin" mean?

-Like a rodent.

Rodent? Rodent?

What does "rodent" mean?

Like a rat or a mouse.

You think rabbits are vermin?

You're joking, right?

Yes. I'm joking.

'Cause I'm hilarious and whimsical.

Rabbits are actually perfect creatures.

They're generous,

honest, pure.

You should see the way

they talk to each other.

They do this incredible thing

when they're apologizing.

Rabbits apologize?

They put their heads together,

like this.

No. No, no, no, don't apologize to him.

Why is she apologizing to him?

Wow, that's taking a long time.

She's apologizing

the heck out of that guy.

And this was only the beginning.

lt didn 't get any easier for Peter

and the others to stomach.

Or understand.

Anyway.

You'll see.

You'll grow to love them.

But romance is a powerful thing.

It can sneak up on any two people.

Even if one is amazing,

and the other is a McGregor.

And after my parents died,

I was put in a group home.

Peel.

That must have been awfully

traumatic for you.

Did you deal with it okay? Peel.

Didn't affect me in the slightest. Peel.

Yes, I can see that.

Maybe I have some tendencies.

Yeah, to commit rabbit-Gide.

-ls that a word?

-No.

Well, I think we all have

our tendencies.

Peel.

What are yours?

I guess I don't like people

who aren't who they say they are.

It's more about me.

I keep saying I'm a real painter,

yet I can't seem to

nish anything real.

But she paints us.

We're real.

Aren't we real?

Yep, definitely real.

What do you miss most about the store?

And don't say,

"Having everything in its proper place."

I get it.

You have control issues.

I miss being helpful.

looking for a gift

for the child they love.

I ask a few simple questions,

and know exactly what they need.

I love helping people

get what they want.

You know?

Especially when they don't

even know that they want it.

Those are the best.

Also, neatly arranged displays.

I'm sorry, I can't help it.

Yes! Bananas! I win!

Wait, "taradiddle" isn't a word.

Yes, it is. It means "b,"

pretentious nonsense."

That is exactly the sort of denition

you'd make up for a made-up word.

Mr. McGregor, are you accusing

me of taradiddling?

Oh, no. Damn it.

Come here, come here.

I'll protect you.

Come in. Come in, quick.

-C | osed.

-Pull up a chair.

We're wearing fur.

-Thank you.

-You're drenched. Sit down.

Let me help you dry off.

Thank you very much.

I could stay here forever.

Hello.

Haven't seen you in the longest time.

Meet my new friend, Thomas.

-Would you like to have a hold?

-Among other things.

Oh, look.

My two boys getting along perfectly.

Nothing could make me happier.

Do you mind if! paint this?

Nothing would make me happier.

You're mine now, rabbit.

Thomas, are your eyes emerald

or sea-foam green?

Sea-foam green with a hint

of battleship gray.

I thought so.

Thomas?

And that's what separates us

from the French.

Yup. Kiwi green.

You're the professional.

No, no, no, it's an old woman

in a hat, you see?

| just assumed she would've

reentered at that exact moment.

You need to stop.

It's not going to end well.

lthink I found it.

The perfect ma...

My painting!

It's ruined.

You know how uncontrollable

wildlife can be. ljust...

-Bad rabbit. Bad rabbit!

-Yes, bad rabbit.

-Naughty.

-Bad rabbit!

-Out, get out.

-Out.

I said, shoo. Shoo!

Get out of here!

I'm so sorry. He just went mad.

Are you all right?

He's gotta go.

No way!

The sun came up again!

If I knew this was gonna keep happening,

certainly wouldn't have

fertilized all those eggs!

Now I have to stick around

till they hatch!

And be present and involved!

And so,

Peter prepared his troops

for full-on battle.

Why you kids walking so slow?

And that is how you sneak up on someone.

Come on, they're ten percent pluck

twenty percent blur

Fifteen percent concentrated

power of fur

Five percent muscle

fty percent brains

A hundred percent reason

To remember the names

No, they dont need

their name known forever

They just want to be rid

of young Mr. McGregor
