The Nut Job Page #4

What did I tell ya?

The sunshiny days are here again.

Okay. Okay, wait. Wait! But

we have to work with Surly.

That's right! We are working with...

Are you nuts?

I negotiated a deal with him.

We split everything, 50-50.

Negotiate?

With Surly? Are you kidding me?

He's the reason we don't

have any nuts to begin with!

ANDIE:
No! No!

(ALL PROTESTING)

Hey, listen. For as long as

this old mill has stood,

we have always worked together

and kept our promises.

We are not a pack of wild animals!

(BURPS)

These two are animals.

(CHUCKLING)

Winter is coming.

If we don't work with Surly,

we won't survive.

Did Grayson see this nut supply?

No. Um... We got separated.

Let's all wait until

Grayson gets back...

We don't know

if Grayson's ever coming back.

(ALL GASPING)

ANIMAL 1:

Grayson's not coming back? What?

- No!

- ANIMAL 2:
Terrible.

MOUSE:
Wait. Who's

gonna be handsome, then?

RACCOON:

I have come to a decision.

The Bruisers, Mole and Andie will

dig a tunnel to get the nuts out.

Mole will lead.

A-ha!

I will?

And while I don't trust Surly,

we will work with him. For now.

When all the nuts are secure,

we will take what is ours.

We do not honor deals with Surly.

For the park!

ALL:
For the park! Yeah!

Why aren't we doing this at night?

All right, let's get to work!

Stand back!

Guys, the nut store is over there.

Allow me.

Ha!

(GRUNTING)

So, what do you think? Green wire?

Hmm. Read my mind.

Wait. We don't know what that...

Andie, I am in charge.

Proceed, my dear.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

(BRUISERS SCREAMING)

No! Sis, wake up! Wake up, sis!

Jamie! Wake up, sis! Come on...

Disperse!

I have been trained in mouth-to-mouth

resuscitative measures.

She's fine.

(WHISTLES)

(ALL GASPING)

Grayson?

I've been casing

this place for days.

Every hole, vent, trap and

window is mapped in my head.

You wanna break into this

joint, survive the winter,

you talk to me.

KING:
We cut the alarm

wire from the tunnel.

When you two hit the vault,

we got three minutes to dynamite

it and get that dough out.

We dig here, from the

alley into the basement.

Why don't we just

use the door thing?

Too unpredictable. They lock it

from the inside.

Now, listen closely.

We fill the vault

with bags of nuts.

We seal it,

we head for state lines.

It'll be days before the bank

realizes they got peanuts on deposit.

Agreed?

Agreed. But I do not dig.

'Cause you're blind as a bat.

What? Who said that?

Where are you?

What kinda haul

are we talking, pops?

We're talking almonds,

pistachios, walnuts, Brazils...

Enough cashews

to buy yourselves a racetrack.

And did I mention

the peanut brittle?

That a candy or a nut?

(LAUGHING)

Both.

(LAUGHS)

Now, listen up.

This is my last heist.

I ain't going back to that

rat-filled slammer, you dig?

That's all we've been doing!

JIMMY:
Fire in the hole!

(FARTS)

(BRUISERS COUGHING)

I'm gonna kill you!

What's going on down...

(SCREAMING)

JAMIE:

It's the same thing every time.

We keep running into this

hard brick-colored substance.

Do you mean brick?

We can't speculate on

what is or isn't brick,

but suffice to say,

this material has a high number

of brick-like properties.

(FARTS)

Okay, cut it out! Who is that?

I guess there's no other choice.

JIMMY:
Hey, hey, wait a minute.

JAMIE:

We're not falling for it again!

No, no, no, I'm serious. There's

a loose brick over here.

Yeah. Yeah.

Definitely a loose brick.

Hey, hey, Johnny. Johnny! Hey,

I got a loose brick over here.

Come here, come on,

help me with this.

Got it. Come on!

Together, let's do this!

Yeah! Come on, let's move it.

- Yeah. Here we go.

- Hey.

Was this open the whole time?

I don't know. I just got here.

Come on, how about that face lick?

Lick yourself.

Hey, what are those guys doin'?

Digging for bones. Move it.

- JIMMY:
Come on, Johnny!

- JOHNNY:
Heave!

Okay, we can do this.

I think it's moving.

JIMMY:
Come on, heave. Heave.

Yeah, yeah. That's it.

That's it. You're doing great.

Keep up the, uh...

What do you call that? The teamwork.

Yeah, good for you.

She's moving.

Make it last! Heave! Kick it!

Heave! Heave!

Here you go, guys! Here you...

(GASPS)

Where's Surly?

Hey, guys. Look what I found.

Isn't it great?

- Come on. Come on.

- No!

Come get it!

No! Let go!

I cannot stop!

- No, let go of the stick.

- It's impossible!

Let go of the stick!

I do not know how to

let go of the stick.

Let go of this!

All right, fine!

Hey, Surly.

(MUFFLED EXPLOSION)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

What'd you have for breakfast?

(GASPS) You brought nuts!

ALL:

Hey, all right! Way to go, Surly!

Way to go, Surly!

I'm dead!

(ALL SCREAMING)

They'd have sent me back

to that dog pound, Surly,

I know it, I just know it!

What am I gonna do? What am

I gonna do? You gotta help me!

I'll do whatever you say.

(SOBBING) Whatever you say.

(ALL COUGHING)

Hey, what happened here?

What happened?

I want some answers!

Say, fellas. Look!

That squirrel was trying

to blow up the nut store,

and Precious stopped him!

Can you believe it?

Good pup! Good pup!

What's wrong with you?

Get that wall cemented up.

From now on,

I want that coal chute

shut at all times, you hear me?

Give the mutt a treat.

Now cement that wall up!

That dog is one smart dog.

She's smarter than you.

She's smarter than you!

She's smarter than me?

No one's smarter than me.

No one's smarter than you.

That's right!

Right! I'm glad we're

in agreement, for once.

LUCKY:
Of course.

(CRASHING)

Surly?

Hey, what's going on?

This trashcan has a hole in it.

We use it as cover to dig a new

hole into the human hole. No brick.

Now that's groundhog thinking,

right there.

Okay, well, how long will it take?

Day or two. Depending on any

pipes or rocks we come across.

It'll be three days.

It'll be two days!

- Three!

- You wanna take this to the ground?

Ridiculous! It'll never work!

You'll need Raccoon's approval.

You kiddin' me?

Raccoon's gonna love this idea!

Yeah. Raccoon. Guy's not even here

and he's still ruining my life.

I gotta tell ya,

the nerve of those bums!

The nerve of those bums!

"Raccoon would approve of this!"

Oh, really? Raccoon! That guy,

he's a bigger thief than I am!

But those blockheads can't see it.

They're blind as Mole.

I'm the brains of this outfit. I'm

the guy with the... The brains.

Did I already say that?

Raccoon's nothing

but a lying old sack of fur!

What?

(COOING)

Hey, Surly, over here.

(CLEARS THROAT)

What...

What are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be working

on that tunnel? Raccoon's orders.

There's something

you need to know.

I haven't been completely honest.

Yeah. Right.

(SIGHS)

Raccoon's planning

to double-cross you.

We were all in on it. I'm

sorry, but just seeing how...

Raccoon's always had it

out for me. And besides,

who says I'm helping?

But you are helping us,

aren't you?

I'm helping myself.

Right. My mistake.

Just remember, Surly,
