The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature Page #3

Wow. That was intense.

Oh, you taste good today.

Stale acorns with

just a hint of bulldozer.

Way to go, everyone.

We did it.

I know everyone is hungry,

so I brought you all

a little surprise. Ta-da!

It's all the nuts

I was saving for winter.

- Ew!

- Yuck!

Not exactly what I'd call

"fine dining."

Oh, come on, Surly.

Have one.

We're all in this together.

Where'd you get this thing?

The bottom of a vacuum bag'?

Delicious.

More like

dust-licious.

Hey.

Hey, what the...

See? There's life

after the Nut Shop.

Hmm.

Oh, don't be like that.

Hey. There you are.

I never got a chance to say

you were amazing today.

I'm always amazing.

Today, you just happened

to notice.

I'm serious.

I didn't think we stood a chance

against those bulldozers,

but when you pulled

everyone together,

we were unstoppable.

Well, don't get used to it.

It was a one-time thing.

Today was a good day.

Why are you so intent

on being grumpy?

Are you happy it's gone?

Surly...

Answer the question.

I'm glad we're all living

together in the park again, yes.

Even if we starve?

We're not gonna starve.

Quit being so dramatic.

Animals did just fine

before there were nut shops.

Well, sorry if I'm not as

excited about it as you are.

It would be nice

if you could be.

Excited?

Yes.

About scrounging

for dusty old nuts? Ha!

The animals look up to you, Surly.

You need to set an example.

And what do you expect me to do?

You could start by

getting up at sunrise.

Get a head start

on the scrounging.

The animals will wake up and see

you working hard and think,

"I should work hard, too."

I'm gonna have

to give that a hard pass.

I'm sleeping in.

Well, you know what they say.

The early squirrel gets the nut.

That's not even a thing.

You just replaced "bird" with

"squirrel," and "worm" with "nut."

Well, it doesn't make it

any less true.

Good night, Andie.

Rise and shine, people.

Today is going to be

a great day.

Ugh! I think I'm having

a nightmare.

Up you get.

Clap your hands.

Today is the first day

of the rest of your life.

But what does

that make yesterday'?

Hey, Precious, wake up.

She's still sleeping. Ahh!

Hey, Andie! I'm starving!

What's for breakfast?

Whatever you want.

As long as you

gather it yourself.

Are you kidding me?

Please, Andie, stop.

Quit while you're behind.

Why lounge around when

you can scrounge around

for some nuts on the ground'?

Take your rhymes

somewhere else, sister.

You're right.

You should hang back.

Wouldn't want everybody to see that

Surly Squirrel has lost his instincts.

Hmm!

Try and keep up.

Nuts.

That's strange.

Where did those come from?

No instincts, huh?

How do you explain this?

Surly!

Well, this is embarrassing.

Surly's trapped, come on!

Pull!

We're all gonna die!

More specifically,

you're gonna die.

Way to keep it positive.

Get me out of here!

Pull!

It won't open!

It won't open!

Mr. Mayor, you have called

the right man for the job.

You'll be back to building your

amusement park in no time.

Let me demonstrate.

The little squirrel

having a nice day.

He sees a nut.

"Hello there, nut!"

Cage closes,

we drive him to the forest,

let him go, good as new.

I see. And this won't hurt

the animals?

Oh, no, Mr. Mayor!

Humane traps only.

Nobody's hurt,

everybody's happy.

Well, may I?

Of course.

I don't want humane!

I want painful,

gruesome termination!

Mr. Mayor, that is

a horrible and twisted way

to deal with the animals.

Daddy, I can help.

I'm good at shooting cute,

little, defenseless creatures.

Oh, sweetheart.

Daddy is so proud of you.

Oh, look. We got one.

Go get him, Frankie!

Go, Frankie, go!

On three,

everyone pull together.

One, two, three!

You okay?

I'm fine.

I... I'm fine. Bright-eyed

and bushy-tailed.

You had me worried there

for a second.

Wait. What's that sound?

It's probably the little

paranoid voice in your head

screaming at the top

of its lungs again.

I'm serious.

You certainly are.

You know, you're not as

funny as you think you are.

Dog! Run!

Dog!

Precious! Help!

Ahh!

Okay, someone's gonna

pay for that.

Whoa.

Why is he lookin'

at me like that?

What a beauty!

That smooshed-in face,

those bulging eyes.

She's like an angel.

Just go with it.

What? No, gross.

You gotta go talk to him,

or that mutt is gonna

rip us apart.

Ah...

You owe me big time.

Hey, there, handsome.

Hey, there, precious.

What? How do you know

my name?

Wait, your name

is actually Precious'?

Whoa. My name's Frankie.

It's long for Frank.

Oh, hey, I just had the most

unbelievable thought.

I'm Frankie, you're Precious.

That makes us, Frecious.

Keep him occupied. Try

using your feminine charm.

This is my feminine charm!

So, uh, tell me more about you.

What do you do for fun?

I would be more

than happy to show you.

Come here, you.

Come back here.

Get going.

I can't look away.

This guy is dumber than a bowling

ball with a face painted on it.

I'm gonna get you.

Oh! Oh! Oh!

This is the greatest thing

I've ever seen.

Gotcha!

Frankie's got a girlfriend.

Daddy, I got a new dog.

My little prince met a princess.

Surly!

Precious!

I'm coming for you, Precious!

Hang in there!

Ha-ha! Come on, boys!

Tonight we dine on squirrels!

Over the...

Guys in the...

Slow down.

What are you saying?

Uh...

We're all gonna die!

Oh, no! Everybody scatter!

My Egg!

No one's gettin' scrambled

on my watch.

Oh, thank you.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Everybody out.

We gotta go.

Leave it.

There's no time.

Guys, wait up!

Get back here,

you chubby little beast!

Come on, tiny legs!

Go faster!

This is so much fun! Whoo!

Whoa!

On!

Ow! My fingers!

And stay out!

You're gonna pay for this!

Fire in the hole.

That's not good.

Ah!

Huh?

I'd say we got him.

Smile.

You've completely

destroyed this park.

And I must say,

I am a fan of your work.

All right,

you layabouts, get moving!

Buckle up, sweetheart.

You know Daddy's got

a lead foot.

Precious!

Surly!

We gotta rescue Precious.

It's my fault she was

taken by that crazy kid.

Okay. You and Buddy

go after Precious.

I'll find us

a new place to live.

What?

Look around, Surly.

It's over.

We have to leave the park.

Where are we gonna go'?

There's another park

on the other side of town.

We'll check it out

and report back.

What about the rest of us?

What should we do?

You have the most important

job of all, little guy.

Try to not get killed.

I'll try, but I can't make

any promises.

Okay, let's get moving.

Hey.

Be careful out there.

Yeah. You too.

What're you

waitin' for? Move!

Out of the way, riffraff!

Well, I don't have time

for traffic.

Whee!

Get a license plate?

Whoa!

Faster, Daddy. Go faster.

Slow down.

I know this relationship

is moving fast,

but when it's right, it's right.

No! Slow down the car!

Where'd you learn to drive?

I voted for you.

Very nice to meet you.
