The Fox and the Hound Page #2

---

- I'll... I'll...

- Hold it right there!

Watch it! That thing's loaded!

Now it ain't loaded!

Dagnabit, woman! Your thievin' fox

was after my chickens!

Rubbish and poppycock!

I don't believe it.

He wouldn't hurt a thing.

You callin' me a liar,

you muddleheaded female?

- I saw it happen!

- Amos Slade, that temper of yours

is going to get you

into a lot of trouble.

Temper?

Temper, woman?

You ain't seen my temper!

If I ever catch that fox

on my property again, I'll blast him!

And next time, I won't miss!

Poor little tyke.

It's a shame I have

to keep him cooped up.

Tod,

stop looking at me like that.

It's not my fault, you know.

You caused a lot

of trouble yesterday.

Oh, now what are they up to?

Why, it looks like Amos

is going on a hunting trip.

Along one, from the looks of it.

Hmm. Well, good riddance!

Doggone meddlin' female,

shootin' up my radiator!

Dad blame it. Get goin'!

There. Well, that's more like it.

Keep runnin', old girl.

Well, Copper, me and old Chief

are gonna teach you all about huntin'.

Yes, sir. It's about time too.

Attaboy.

Yeah, you're gonna like

trackin' down those varmints for me.

Uh-uh. Get in the back, half-pint.

You gotta earn your right

to sit up front.

Well, boys, we're gettin'

outta here till next spring.

Tod, honey,

what are you doin' over here?

Gee, I just wanted

to say goodbye to Copper,

but I'm too late.

Well, what did you plan to do

if you ran into old Chief?

Ah, Chief. I can outfox

that dumb old dog anytime.

Tod, now hold it just one minute.

Didn't you learn anything yesterday?

Now you listen good, Tod,

because it's either education

or elimination.

Now if you're so foxy

and old Chiefs so dumb,

then why does that hound

get the fox on the run?

'Cause he's got the hunter,

and the hunter's got the gun. Ka-bam!

Elimination. Lack of education.

# If you pal around

with that Copper hound

# You'll wind up hangin' on the wall

# Keep your nose to the wind

You'll keep your skin

# Cause you won't be home

when the hunter comes to call...

Oh, Big Mama, I know Copper

would never track me down.

Why, old Copper,

he's my best friend.

Your best friend.

Now, Copper's gonna

do what he's been told.

Supposed to chase the little old fox

into the old foxhole,

then along comes the hunter

with a buckshot load.

- Ka-ka-ka-bam!

- Elimination.

Lack of education.

You better believe it, Tod.

Yes, sirree!

You mean Copper

is gonna be my enemy?

Hey!

Kid, you better step over here

and take a good look.

Why... Why, that's awful.

Those poor things.

I'm sorry, Tod.

Honey, Copper's gonna come back

a trained huntin' dog.

A real killer.

Oh, no, not my friend Copper.

He won't ever change.

I hope you're right, Tod.

And we'll keep on

being friends forever.

Um, won't we, Big Mama?

Darlin', forever is a long, long time,

and time has a way

of changin' things.

Oh, Jiminy. It sure turned cold.

- I'm freezin' my b...

- Hey!

It's that fuzzy worm! Let's get him!

Charge!

Hey, Dinky!

Dinky, quick! Over here!

I got him! I got him!

Do I look like a worm?

That's who we're after.

Come on!

Look at that little creep,

warm and cozy by the fire.

Let me take a look.

Now how do you like that guy?

Snug as a bug,

while we're out here

freezin' our b-b-b-beaks off.

Well, yackin' and shiverin'

ain't gettin' us anywhere.

We'll get that no-good worm

when we come back.

Oh, sh-sh-sh-shucks.

So long, Big Mama.

Yeah, we're goin's-s-south

for the winter.

Goodbye, boys.

See ya next spring.

Well, look who's here.

Oh, my goodness.

I'm sorry, Tod, honey.

- I hope...

- Hiya, Big Mama.

We're back. We flew all the way.

Yeah, we did. We did.

Welcome home, boys!

It's been kind of lonesome

around here without you little rascals.

Hi, fellas!

Hey, who's that? Who's that?

This can't be

that scrawny little squirt

we found by the fence post,

can it? Come on.

I... I can't believe my eyes.

Oh, it's me, all right.

Hey, looky there.

He's got himself a real fancy collar.

Hey, hey, hey. Just look

at this bushy tail.

Beautiful.

Aw, come on. Cut it out.

You guys are always teasin' me.

Hey, it's him, it's him. Squeeks.

We'll see ya later, kid.

We gotta take care

of some unfinished business.

I can't understand.

It was so healthy.

There. That oughta perk it up.

Now, where'd he go?

Where'd he go?

He's goin' up the drainpipe!

I'll head him off.

OK, Boomer, we got him trapped!

Let him have it!

Aah!

- Did you get him?

- No, I didn't.

Neither did I.

Come on! Look!

A caterpillar

under glass. Oh, boy!

- Holy!

- Smoke!

Hey, hey, how's he do that, Dinky?

How's he do that?

# I ain't got no job

I'm a huntin' man

# And I'd rather have a dog

than a dollar

# So let's go banjo

ring-a-ling-a-ding-ho

# Give a little hoot and a holler #

Aw, come on, Chief.

Just 'cause you're not sittin' up front,

that ain't no reason to be a sorehead.

Shucks, if it weren't for you,

Copper'd never have turned

into a good huntin' dog.

Yes, sirree.

Now I got me

the best two dogs there is.

Right, Copper?

Isn't he somethin', Chief?

Look, Big Mama! Copper's back!

Boy, has he grown big.

Uh-huh.

And look at that big pile of skins

he helped track down.

I know, Big Mama.

He's a huntin' dog now.

You're right. And you're a fox.

Ah, that won't make any difference.

Copper's gonna be glad to see me.

Well, honey,

just don't get your hopes too high.

Look, don't worry. I'll be careful.

I'll go tonight when Chief

and the hunter are asleep.

Boy, it's great to be back home,

isn't it, Chief?

Aw, come on, Chief.

You aren't still sore, are ya?

Hey, hey, come on. Let's scuffle.

We ain't scuffled in a long time.

Come on, Chief!

Let's have some fun!

Oh, lay off, Copper,

you overgrown pup, you.

Oh, let go!

Dagnabit! Let go, I say!

Oh, OK, OK.

That was your trouble on the hunt.

Aw, come on, old-timer.

You treat me like a pup,

you know that?

Why, I think I done real good

trackin' down them varmints for ya.

Smellin' and trackin' ain't enough.

You gotta think nasty.

OK, OK, I know.

I know.

Copper.

Hey, Copper.

It's me, Tod.

I thought that was you, Tod.

I heard ya comin'.

Boy, you've really grown.

You have too, Copper.

I saw you comin' back

with Chief and the hunter.

It's great to see ya, Tod.

But, you know, you...

You shouldn't be over here.

You're gonna get us both

into a lot of trouble.

Hey, look, I...

I just wanted to see ya.

We're...

We're still friends, aren't we?

Tod, those days are over.

I'm... I'm a huntin' dog now.

You'd better get outta here

before old Chief wakes up.

Oh, Chief.

He doesn't worry me.

Tod, I'm serious. You're...

You're fair game

as far as he's concerned.

It's that fox again!

Oh, no! No!

They're after Tod!

After him, boys! Go get him!

Copper!

Copper! Copper!

Tod, I...

I don't wanna see you get killed.

Track him down, boy!

I'll let you go this one time.

Don't lose him!

There they are!

Old Chiefs got him on the run!
