The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature

1

You might think life is easy

fora cute little squirrel

with a fluffy fail,

but it's not.

Sure, when kids see you

in the park, they go, Aww!.

Aww!

If you're lucky,

they give you nuts.

If you're unlucky,

they are nuts.

Being the little guy means

everything's out to get you.

Bikes...

Cars...

Gum...

Ugh.

Ugh! Whoa!

But things got a whole

lot better last summer

when the Nut Shop

went out o! business,

and left a lifetime supply

of food in the basement.

Fur once, the little guy at

the bottom of the food chain

came out on top.

Cannonball!

You the man, Surly.

Ha-ha! Thank you.

Thank you.

I call that one

"The Peanut Buster,"

patent pending.

Excellent.

A very tight tuck.

And a high degree of difficulty.

I prefer a cleaner entry.

A little loo much flare.

Whoa, nice. 10.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I gotta get back

to slacking off.

Looking good, Surly.

Yeah, whoo-hoo!

Hey, Bruce, remember

to pace yourself.

Why would I wanna do that'?

Playing with

your food? Nice.

Look out!

Oh! Slow down

or someone's gonna get hurt.

Yes. Wheel Yee-haw!

Ahh! Precious, come on. That's disgusting.

We talked about this.

No lick-licks.

Ah, sorry, boss.

It's hard to respect

your personal space

when you taste

like peanut butter.

There's a peanut butter

machine right there.

No way.

Peanut butter.

Come on, Daddy needs

a new pair of shoes.

What do you need shoes for?

You're a wild animal.

Come on, snake eyes.

One peanut-colada,

coming right up.

Keep 'em coming, Morty.

All right. Clear a path.

Mixed nuts coming through.

Stuff your face until it's pink.

How many peanuts can you drink'?

One. Two. Three. Four.

Get your popcorn here.

Hot, fresh popcorn.

The fun never stops

with the corn that pops.

Popcorn here.

Get your popcorn.

No fair. Mine didn't pop.

That was awesome!

This is the life, Buddy, huh?

Kickin' back,

literally doing nothing.

Remember when we had

to work for these things?

Come on, Dad.

Hurry up.

Careful, sweetheart.

Not too fast.

There it is.

With a little hard work

and determination,

that nut will be ours.

Uh, Andie, why don't

we just get free nuts

from the Nut Shop

like everyone else?

Does anybody else

think that's a good idea?

- Uh, yeah. Yeah, I do.

- Oh! Oh! Oh!

Yeah.

No. It's a terrible idea.

Oh.

Come on, guys.

We're wild animals. Living off

the Nut Shop is unnatural.

But their products

are 100% organic.

Now, who thinks

we should go get that nut?

Guys.

This is when you're supposed

to put your hands up.

- Right. Okay, Andie. Okay.

- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

That's better.

Now, pay attention

because this will be

on the test.

Remember,

the nut is your friend.

It's been waiting

its whole life for this.

Place your hands

at 10:
00 and 2:00

and gently pull.

Gently pull. Ahh!

Uh, Andie?

Will this be on the test?

Please hold all questions

until the end of the demonstration.

The Nut Shop's

looking better and better.

Mmm-hmm.

See, class?

Hard work always pays off.

Ooh!

- Ahh!

- Ooh!

See? That wasn't so bad.

Now we can squirrel that

nut away for the winter.

Who wants to go

to the Nut Shop'?

Nut Shop rules!

Johnny's got the early lead,

but Jimmy's close behind.

Official eating contest rules

are in full effect.

Any regurgitory reversals

will result in disqualification.

Yay!

Whoo-hoo! Yeah.

Here come the nuts.

Attaboy, Johnny. Show

those nuts who's boss.

Are you joking?

An eating contest?

What? It's good

for morale.

Surly! Hold that

cranky response.

I got you something.

A Brazil nut?

Yeah.

It's, uh, exotic.

I, uh, thought

you might like, uh...

That's really sweet. I...

I can't believe

you saved it for me.

But, you know, I...

I won't take food

from the Nut Shop.

Well, that was supposed

to play out differently.

Eat. Eat. Eat. Eat.

Living off the Nut Shop

was okay in the beginning,

but look at what it's become.

And Jimmy tries to take the lead

with his patented

hammerhead technique.

What a tremendous athlete.

Classic.

This is not what animals do.

We work hard, we store, we save.

Look at all of you. Lazy

and spoiled and fat.

Who you callin' fat?

Come back to the park, Surly.

It's where we belong.

That's my favorite thing

about being mayor.

You get to sign

your own permits.

Hear, hear.

Every square inch of this

city is generating profits.

How else could we skim enough

off the top to build ourselves

that private golf course?

Am I right, people?

Fore!

But I've got a thorn in my side.

One part of this city

puts nothing in my pocket.

Liberty Park.

Nothing but grass and trees

sitting on premium

city real estate.

Generates zero profit,

and I can't very well charge

children to climb trees, now can I?

I'll look into it, sir.

A dollar a climb?

No need.

I got bigger plans than trees.

Andie, come back.

Come on, what's with you?

Why are you so mad'?

The animals are losing

their instincts.

They' re not gathering or

storing anything for winter,

and they're not

working together.

Take it easy.

That's all anybody does

around here.

Take it easy.

For she's a jofly good

eater! For she's a jolly good eater!

What's wrong with easy?

Easy doesn't build character.

Easy doesn't last.

That's ridiculous.

Look at 'em. Working together,

building character.

Morale is

at an all-time high.

You gotta get with

the program, Andie.

It's a house of cards, Surly,

and it's only a matter of time

till it comes crashing down.

Relax.

It's not like the Nut

Shop's gonna explode.

Oh, no! The peanut butter

machine was in there.

Oh, I can still

taste you on my lips.

No.

Oh, dear.

Mole, you had one job.

What was that again?

Shut off the boiler,

so it doesn't explode.

It's not my fault.

I told Jimmy to do it.

I told Johnny to do it.

I told Jamie to do it.

And I told Mole to do it.

Oh, right. It is my fault.

What are we going to do, Surly?

Yeah. What are

we gonna do?

Where we gonna get food?

It's okay.

It's okay. We'll be fine.

We'll just go back

to scrounging and gathering

like nature intended.

This will be a good thing. What?

You think the Nut Shop

blowing up is a good thing?

Well, I got news for you.

Nobody's gonna gather.

Nobody's gonna scrounge.

Nobody's gonna break their back

collecting dirty,

old, stale acorns.

Sit down, put your feet up,

and Surly'll take care

of everything.

It's over, Surly.

Things can't go back

to the way they were.

I'll find a new place even

better than the Nut Shop.

Like a nut market.

Or a nut emporium.

In fact, why limit

ourselves to nuts?

This city's got everything.

Popcorn. Donuts.

Hot dog on a stick.

Hot dog on a stick? Yeah!

I love hot dogs.

I love sticks.

What do you say, Buddy?

You in?

You can do it, Surly.

Bring us back a smorgasbord.

Hot dog on a stick!

Hot dog on a stick!

There are no

shortcuts in life, Surly.

Oh, really?

Come on, Buddy.

Let's take the shortcut.

When we find food,

Andie's gonna be all like...
