Jump, Chief! Jump!

Chief!

Chief?

Oh, no!

No!

Tod, if it's

the last thing I do, I'll...

I'll get you for this!

Tod!

Tod? Tod!

Oh, Tod!

Thank heaven you're safe.

Oh, poor Chief.

And it's all my fault.

I shouldn't have let Tod go.

Big Mama! Wake up! Wake up!

There's trouble!

Tod! Well, what is it?

What on earth?

Widow, get out here!

Why, Amos! What are you?

Where is he? Where is he?

I know he's in there.

Now just a minute.

You can't come bargin'

onto my property, Amos Slade!

That fox of yours

almost killed Chief,

and I'm gonna get him!

You can't keep him

locked up forever!

# We met, it seems

# Such a short time ago

# You looked at me

# Needing me so

# Yet from your sadness

# Our happiness grew

# And I found out

I needed you too

# I remember

how we used to play

# I recall those rainy days

# The fire'S glow

# That kept us warm

# And now I find

# We're both alone

# Goodbye may seem forever

# Farewell is like the end

# But in my heart's the memory

# And there... you'll always be

I Goodbye may seem forever

# Farewell is like the end

# But in my heart's the memory

# And there you'll always be #

Hold it, Sonny! Back off!

Consarn it! Where?

Where do you think you're goin'?

Oh, oh, excuse me, I...

I was just trying to...

You barge in on somebody's house

like you own it.

Tarryhootin' around them woods,

wakin' up folks

in the middle of the night.

I honestly didn't know

anybody lived here, and I...

Well, you know it now.

Now get off my property!

Go on! Beat it!

I've been watching you, sir.

You can stay with me if you want to.

- That's very nice of you.

- Come with me.

She dropped that fox off

at the game preserve.

We'll get him. We'll get him.

Well, now, if you

gotta have a busted leg,

ah, this is the way to do it.

Good food, soft pillow,

warm stove.

Sure beats sleepin' in that barrel.

Well, now, here comes visitors

to see the invalid.

How do you like that?

They didn't even ask how I'm feelin'.

Chief, get back in there

before I break your other leg.

Copper, Copper, lookit here.

Now, when that fox

comes traipsin' along,

suspectin' nothin'...

Tod?

Tod?

Oh, boy. These old wings

ain't what they used to be.

Big Mama,

you better lose a few pounds.

Uh-oh, uh-oh,

there he is, there he is.

Tod!

Tod!

Oh, hi, Big Mama.

Oh, it's you, Vixey.

Hey, what brings you way out here?

I'm lookin' for a fox named Tod.

- He's new here in the forest.

- Oh, new? Um...

Well, what does he look like?

Oh, he's young. About your age.

And handsome.

Handsome? Oh, say.

Gee, uh, he sure sounds nice.

Uh, I'm not doing anything.

I'll help you find him.

Come on.

He's gotta be around here somewhere.

Wha?

What happened? Where am I?

So, it's you again, hmm?

You barged in on me last night,

and now you...

I... I didn't mean to.

Just look at the...

Mess you made.

Dagnabit, you clumsy bonehead!

I'm sorry. It was an accident.

Excuses, excuses.

Mr. Digger, sir?

It was so too an accident.

You keep out of this,

you walkin' pincushion.

You shouldn't be so grumpy to

someone who's new in the neighborhood.

A stranger, eh?

Why don't you go back

where you came from?

Wha?

Well, go on.

Get goin'. Git!

Aww.

Gosh, he seems so... I don't know,

so downhearted, Big Mama.

Well, you can't blame him, honey.

He was dropped out here and left

all alone without a friend in the world.

Well, maybe there's

something I could do.

You know, cheer him up.

Honey, you just said

the magic words.

Now...

What?

But Big Mama, I don't...

Darlin', don't move.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Mornin', Tod.

Hello, Big Mama.

Last night was pretty miserable

for you, wasn't it, honey?

Just terrible.

Cheer up and look around.

The forest is beautiful this morning.

After last night,

nothin' looks beautiful.

Wow!

Who? Who is that?

Oh, just another fox.

A lady fox.

Golly!

Is she beautiful!

I wonder what her name is.

Well, why don't you go ask her?

Yeah. Yeah, guess...

Guess I will.

I'll... I'll go up to her and I'll say,

"You're the most gorgeous...

The most beautiful...

Never seen anyone, anywhere...

I'll say...

Hi.

Hello.

- Big Mama told me, you know...

- I just happened to be...

May I call you by your first name?

Oh, sure. Why not?

Thanks, but what... '?

What is your first name?

- Vixey.

- Vixey.

Uh-huh.

My name is... is... uh, Tod.

Tod?

That's a... That's a nice name, Tod.

It looks like that farm boy

is makin' it b-b-big with her.

Shh! Now just keep it down.

Well, Tod, you know something?

This stream is just full of trout.

Do you think you could catch one?

- One what?

- One what? Fish, silly!

Oh, oh, yeah! Oh, yeah.

My dear young lady...

...you happen to be looking

at an expert... fisher fox.

Oh, Tod, Tod. Don't overdo it.

I know all the tricks.

In fact, I... I never miss.

Please let him catch a fish.

Here comes a whopper!

Now, watch closely.

Tod, do you need help?

No. No, I... I do it this way

all... all the... all the time!

I got him.

Oh, that farm boy, he

don't know nothin' about f-f-fishin'.

He ain't gonna hook her that way.

Oh, gosh!

Tod, you're the

funniest thing I ever saw!

Go ahead! Go ahead and laugh!

You're like everyone else around here.

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

You are so funny.

So I can't fish!

You're a silly,

empty-headed... female!

Now just a minute.

I mean, you've got a nerve.

Why don't you grow up?

Tod, that's no way

to talk to Vixey.

Oh, raspberries! I've had it.

Honey, don't stay mad.

You gotta be natural. That's the trick.

Can't you see?

# When you have a natural attraction

# You deserve a mutual reaction

# You're gonna get a whole lot

# Of satisfaction

# Here's all you gotta do

# When you feel that

# Natural affection

# Leads you in the positive direction

# You gotta stop showin' off

# Start showin' up

# With little old natural you

# Yes, you gotta appreciate the lady

# And now that is a natural fact

# Cause when you be yourself

# With the lady yeah

# You gonna get appreciated

# Right back #

Shh.

- But Big Mama...

- it's just getting interesting.

Tod, I...

I just know you're

gonna love the forest.

Listen, come on.

Let me show you around.

Sure.

Come on.

Look. One, two,

three, four, five, six.

Seven.

I think six would be just right.

Six?

Six what?

"No hunting. "

Well, now, we ain't gonna

do none of that, are we, Copper?

We're just gonna

get us a no-good fox.

All right, boy, get trackin'.

Smell him out.

What ya got there, Copper?

Good work, boy.

He'll be comin' right through here,

headin' for water.

But he won't be drinkin' any.

What a beautiful morning, Vixey.

You know, I've never been happier.

Oh, Tod, me too.

That does it.

Amos, you crafty old coot.

The devil himself

couldn't have done no better.

Tod?

- Tod, wait a minute.

- What is it, Vixey?

I don't wanna go in there.

It's too quiet.

Oh, Vixey.

What?

Tod, be careful.

Dad blast it! He's gettin' away!
