The Nut Job Page #7

Synopsis: In a city park, Surly the Squirrel has finally gone too far with his latest caper leading to the animal community's winter food cache being destroyed. Now exiled, Surly and his rat buddy Buddy's collective nightmare on the streets ends when they discover a nut store to raid. Meanwhile, the squirrels, the heroic Andie and the ditsy Grayson, are charged by Raccoon to find a new food source and Andie runs into Surly. With no other options, she arranges a deal to help in Surly's heist for the colony, even while Surly fully intends to betray it. However, there is more going on with the nut store being a front for bank robbers while Raccoon has his own agenda to ensure his own power. In the mayhem to come, Surly finds himself challenged in ways he never expected and discovering the real prize to treasure in this adventure.

GRAYSON:
Let go! No, don't let go!

We can save both of you! Hurry!

Never! You backstabbing vermin!

Surly goes down with me!

Buddy, that was some score.

We almost pulled it off,

didn't we?

Surly, don't you dare let go.

I'm sorry, Andie!

- What?

- No!

Surly, no!

(SCREAMS)

Is it?

(GASPS) Look!

- It's Grayson!

- ANIMALS:
Grayson!

Thank you. Thank you.

No autographs, please.

You can admire the tail,

but no touching.

ANIMALS:
Grayson! Yeah!

GRAYSON:
Thank you!

The wheel! Jump!

Thank you! Thank you. You're welcome.

You're welcome.

Grayson!

What's going on here?

(SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

(GROANS)

Ha! Never fear!

JIMMY:
Grayson!

You two guys are here, too?

Hi!

Ha-ha! Come on, guys!

ANIMALS:
Let's go!

(GASPS)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Rats! It's a rat!

It's a rat...

(SOBBING)

Take me away, Officers. Take me away.

Just save me from the rats.

Percy "King" Dimpleweed,

you and I are officially through.

Come on, let's go.

(SOBBING)

Hey, Precious,

where you going, girl?

Precious?

PRECIOUS:
Psst! Buddy.

Come with me.

Best... Friend.

(HOWLING)

(HOWLING CONTINUES)

(SURLY COUGHS)

What are you looking at?

Wait, Buddy. Did you just speak?

Okay, okay, okay,

enough, enough, enough.

I get it, you like me, I get it.

LANA:
Precious! Precious!

Okay, Surly, so, see

you at the nut store.

Wait, what? That place?

Yeah, Lana's the new owner.

Hey, no more whistles, huh?

Just face licks.

Oh, hi, Andie.

Surly!

When you went over those falls,

I thought I'd never see you again.

Oh! We got to go. Come on.

Okay, calm down.

Where are we going?

You risked your life to save this park.

Everyone has to know.

No.

The team saved the park.

GRAYSON:

Okay, stop touching the tail.

Stop touching. Stop.

Stop touching the tail!

(SIGHS)

So then what are you going to do?

I'm gonna keep

finding food for this park.

But from now on,

we do it together.

Deal?

This park will always

honor your deals, Surly.

SURLY:
Yeah, they say life's

there for the taking,

but the truth is,

life's really there

for the sharing.

Huh.

Once you realize that,

you might discover there's a

little hero in all of us.

After all, we're all a little nuts.
