Theyre fee/in the pressure

Tired of runnin' around

feelin frightened

Despite the fact that Bea somehow thinks

It's not about the salary

It's all about the celery

and maybe some radishes

Maybe some cabbages,

gotta let the animals know

That means when they get

ready, gotta go, go, go

You can do this, Flops.

Take a deep breath, pull it back,

and picture the one face

you'd most like to see get hit.

Got someone.

Sorry!

Stop it.

He's got to go.

He's got to go.

His face was so classic. He was like...

All of the rakes. I mean,

I didn't even think

it would work that well.

It was right on the edge

of believability.

You guys.

How did you even get that

wheelbarrow up there?

It was a perfectly crafted sequence.

Now listen.

We've got him just where we want him.

It's on to the next phase.

That might not be possible.

That's a serious electric fence.

Why is he feeding it peanut butter?

Yummy.

He's trying to bait us into touching it.

What happens if we touch it?

We're about to find out.

No, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle! Stop! No.

I'm four and a half years old.

I need some excitement

before I check out.

-Don't do it!

-No, TiggyWinkle, stop!

Mrs. TiggyWinkle, it's not worth it!

Look away.

Guys, I have an idea.

You remember what Dad used to say to us?

Never go into McGregors garden."

Yeah, but what else did he say to us?

Don't electrify a lady hedgehog.

Maybe we should rethink

some of the other stuff Dad said to us.

Yeah, like, "You can't

put lipstick on a pig."

Oh, no, no, no, no. This is lip balm.

It's cherry flavor, so it

might appear to be lipstick,

but this is lip balm.

Yes, yes, yes.

Okay, he also used to say,

"You can't out-clever a fox,

"so use his cleverness against him."

Come on, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle!

That's enough!

Two-winged

ying

bird.

And here we go.

And zap.

And zap.

And zap?

And zap.

Zap. Zap.

Zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap, zap!

What is happening?

Wow, another McGregor down.

Looks like you did it again, Peter.

Let me just check.

Yeah, Ifelt brain.

Now, if history is any indication,

that ice cream truck with

the lights'll take him away.

Sorry.

Explosives. Explosives.

Hide. Quick.

Follow me.

You push this, signal goes

through the air, towards this,

and everything in there goes...

Good-bye, rabbits.

Rabbits?

Hello? Rabbits?

-Rabbits?

-Thomas?

Yeah?

What are you doing

out in the garden so late?

I'm picking wildowers.

It's for you.

He's come back to life.

With a light on his head.

He's evolving.

What were you doing out in the garden?

Doing?

Yeah. By the tree.

"Doing" can mean

so many things, can't it?

-I mean, lwas, lwas...

-Would you mind?

-It's just awfully bright.

-l was do... Is it?

Is it distracting you from what

you were asking me just then?

Is it better down?

Up. Up. It's quite bright.

And so we advance to endgame.

You sure you know what you're doing?

What? We're tryin' to get

our garden back.

Is that really what this is all about?

Of course, that's what it's about.

You think I've got some kind

of ulterior motive,

that I'm harboring some kind

of emotional connection to her,

because of losing

my own mother and father

and I think if she goes,

what have I got?

It's only about the garden,

and I don't know what's

happened to my voice. It...

It shouldn't be this high.

It should be lower.

I love her like a mother.

Yes, that was very convincing.

It's only about the garden.

Yes, it is.

I'm stuck. My voice is stuck.

-Cotton-Tai | , can you just...

-Yeah.

Thank you. Let's do this.

-Nice to see you.

-Thank you.

I'm not sure I want to be

part of this anymore.

Of course, you do.

Just do what I say.

It will all work out.

"Like always, huh?"

Said the rabbit who almost

got thrown into a river.

Trust me.

I got this.

Cotton-Tail, go.

Hello?

Ready. Aim. Hold it.

Hold it.

-Thomas.

-Fire!

-Morning.

-You fancy a spot of lunch later?

Yes. That... Lunch would be lovely.

I was thinking of making a salad.

Yeah.

Or maybe a soup. What would you prefer?

Let me think. Soup. Soup.

Would you like water,

or sparkling water, or...

Would you just pick one, please?

Look at you, you're doing

your relaxation pose.

-Arms up.

-Yeah. What?

-Arms up.

-Really? Up?

-Yep, up they go.

-You know where to aim.

All right.

-You look really relaxed.

-So relaxed.

Just going to do some painting.

Blackberries. Blackberries!

No, but he's allergic to...

Clever.

Shoot for the mouth.

I might put some music on.

I hope it's not too loud.

Get in there and create!

I'm out.

-Flopsy.

-Visualize the face.

Look at my face.

Turn his face into my face.

Now stop looking at my face

and look at his face,

but see my face, and fire!

-Yes!

-Flopsy!

Blackberries.

That should do it.

What?

This guy's like some kind of sorcerer.

That's it.

This is starting to get out of control.

No, no, this is perfect.

Remember your training.

Wait, did we train for this?

How is this perfect?

She should've heard us by now.

I'm hit.

-l'm hit.

-Mopsy!

No!

Flopsy, I need you to know something.

I'm not the oldest.

-What?

-You were always so cute and lovable.

And Cotton-Tail, well, she's...

Cotton-Tail,

so Mum and Dad told us I was the oldest,

so I had something.

But, really, youre the oldest,

and I'm nothing.

No! Mopsy, don't go.

Mopsy?

It was just a tomato. I'm fine.

Guys, I'm ne!

It's just a tomato!

Hey, you never heard

any of that stuff, got me?

Dink.

Gotcha! You listen to me.

I am not a bad guy.

You turned me into this.

I am a nice person.

I've chilled out, man.

I'm cool now.

I've evolved, but you,

you're still the same.

Still full of mischief.

And that's why things are not

going to end well for you.

Because you poked at me

and you poked at me,

until all that's left

for me to do is wring your--

What's going on here?

You've got to chew your food!

I saved him.

What happened? Is he okay?

Yeah, I... He...

The poor little guy,

he was choking on some radish.

So ljust... I've checked his pulse,

and everything's gonna be okay.

You're going to be okay!

So off you go. Off you go. There we are.

It's a miracle.

Yeah.

I thought I heard some loud noises.

It was a bit of a ruckus.

I was painting, so I can't

be sure, but did you...

No, I don't think so... I was weeding.

I do make grunting noises

when I weed sometimes.

It's just people have used explosives

before to keep the rabbits out.

Explosives?

But you wouldn't do that.

I wouldn't do something like that.

-No, of course not.

-They're angels.

This is their place as much as ours.

-Yeah, exactly.

-Learned that from you.

ljust thought I heard something.

Is that a two-winged

ying bird up there?

-I must mark it down.

-Where?

-Up there.

-She believes him.

We'll never get rid of him now.

I don't think so.

Up there. Just in that...

In the faraway tree.

You are using explosives.

You lied to me.

Well, yes, but...

My house.

My paintings.

Their burrow.

This is going to be difcult
