The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature Page #5

and now Buddy's hurt too'?

Yes, yes, and yes.

Wow, I'm never right.

Now it happens

three times in a row,

and I'm not even happy about it.

Hey, Buddy, remember when we...

We hid

in that jack-o'-lantern

so we could steal Halloween candy

from the trick-or-treaters?

I didn't notice the candle.

My tail caught on fire.

Meanwhile, you got away

with two bags of candy.

Or that time we mailed

ourselves to the peanut factory'?

You got there fine,

I got flagged

as a suspicious package

and spent two weeks at the FBI.

It should have been me

who fell off that ledge.

You're the lucky one.

You're the one

who always ends up okay.

Hey, you need a break.

I'm fine.

Tell me about Buddy.

How did you guys

get to be so close'?

I've known Buddy forever.

Met him the year

of the hurricane.

The sky was a terrible color.

Never seen anything like it.

Surly!

Whoa! Ahh!

Surly!

Wow! That sure is

a howler.

Bad as I've ever seen.

Oh, totally.

SURLY 1 Then I saw him,

the tiniest mile rat.

Couldn't have been

more than a few weeks old.

Wha... Oh, no!

We have to help him.

It's too late.

There's nothing we can do.

No!

Seal the door.

Wait. I'm coming

for you, little buddy.

Whoa!

Little guy.

Little buddy.

Oof!

Hang on!

Hang on!

You got it. You got it.

Get down!

That's when I blacked out.

I have no idea

how he kept me alive.

He never spoke a word about it.

Or anything else.

When I woke up, he was there,

and he hasn't left

my side ever since.

Can you believe this

goofball saved my life'?

Sounds like you saved

each other.

Bring it down nice and easy.

Okay, that's good.

Libraryland?

Guh! That doesn't

sound fun at all.

It says "Libertyland,"

you moron.

You should've gone

to Libraryland

when you was a kid.

Oof!

Tell your crew of illiterate

layabouts to hurry up!

Mr. Mayor,

if we go any faster,

we're gonna have

to start cuttin' corners.

So cut 'em. I never liked corners.

I prefer rounded shapes myself.

Look at this ride.

Those are office chairs.

Kids love office chairs.

What if somebody gets hurt?

That is an excellent point.

I'm gonna need you

to make a sign

with large red letters

that says,

"No refunds!"

We've gotta do something.

So do something.

We need you

to come up with a plan.

Your plan is for me

to come up with a plan'?

Oh, that's a great plan.

News flash, Andie.

My crazy plans don't work.

Look what happened to Buddy.

Look at them, Surly.

They've lost the Nut Shop.

They've lost the park.

There's nothing to eat,

but they're still here.

Why do you think that is?

'Cause there's nowhere

left to go.

They're here because of you.

They need something

to believe in.

I need something to believe in.

What happens if he doesn't

wake up, Andie?

Then what?

Hey, Buddy.

I never got a chance to say

thanks for breakin' me out.

Leave him alone.

I was just tryin' to say thanks.

Did... Did he just move?

Come on, Buddy.

Wake up.

Come back to me, Buddy.

Surly...

Lick him again. Do it.

But... But you just said...

Who cares what I said?

Just do it!

Come on, come on.

I knew it.

Even in a coma, nobody can stand

to have dog slobber

on their face.

Hey, I resent that.

I've seen the places you lick.

Touch.

Now, hit him with

everything you got.

Buddy.

I thought I'd lost you.

My licks are magical.

Hey, anybody else need one?

No, we're good.

I'm so sorry, Buddy.

I promise, I'll never do

anything reckless again.

Don't turn over

a new leaf just yet.

We still need to save the park.

What do you expect me to do?

Lead us into battle against

the mayor and his goons?

Destroy all the rides and take

back Liberty Park by force'?

I mean, come on.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.

Jeez, guys, that's kind of

a lot of pressure.

You can do it, boss.

It's all you.

No, it's not all me.

If we wanna stop these guys,

it's gonna take everyone.

Gather 'round.

Let's make a plan.

Thank you. Thank you.

- Thank you all for coming.

- Mr. Mayor.

What are you waiting for?

Take my picture!

That kid's a monster.

Her and the dog both.

Hey, Frankie's nothing like her.

You've got no idea

what he's been through.

Come on, Frankie, move it.

Mr. Mayor, what do you say

to allegations

that this amusement park is

an environmental catastrophe?

Uh, well...

I, uh... I, um...

No questions!

All right.

Well, then hit the switch.

"Lie-land"?

Uh... I'll get that fixed

right away.

Nah, don't bother.

No sense in running up

the electric bill.

Mr. Mayor.

Hey.

What's going on?

Now, now, tonight is an exclusive

event for my campaign contributors.

You will be more than welcome to buy

your very own full-price tickets

when it opens to the public.

Perfect timing.

Launch the aerial campaign!

Ahh! My eye!

That's the sign!

That's the sign!

Remember your training.

You had training?

I'm good to go.

I'm good to go.

I'm flyin'. I'm flyin'.

Yeah.

Ha-ha.

Yeah.

Whoo!

Time to eat my vegetables.

And by vegetables,

I mean ketchup. Huh?

Oh, boy!

Whoo-hoo!

Ooh.

Yeah.

- White tuxedo.

- Target acquired.

When that clock

hits 9:
00, we attack.

That clock

hasn't worked in 30 years.

What? Gah!

All right, fine.

Everyone go.

Just forget the clock.

Just go.

Ah! My white tuxedo!

Dive! Dive! Dive!

Get 'em! Go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go!

Stop pecking me!

Ahh! m!

Drink up! Drink up!

Got him.

Whack that mole.

Whack-a-mole.

How do you like it?

How do you like it'?

The very existence

of this game offends me.

Nice chewin', guys.

Ahh!

I want that squirrel's head

deep-fried on a stick!

What are you doing?

What?

Nobody likes a parking hog.

Ugh. Fine.

Move, move, move, move, move!

Ahh!

Spread out, spread out.

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

Yeah. We're not

gonna hurt you.

Punch it!

Whoo! It's Groundhog Day!

You are a terrible driver.

What do you expect?

I'm a groundhog.

I need backup.

I need backup!

Whoa!

I got him.

Watch the road.

Watch the road!

- What the...

- Let me go!

Got 'em.

Six more weeks of winter.

Yeah, that's a groundhog joke!

Whoa! Everybody take cover.

Come here, fuzzy little guy.

Where do you think you're going?

Buddy, stay behind me.

- Surly!

- Precious, look out!

Ahh! Let me go, you...

Precious!

No, Buddy.

No! Buddy!

Gotcha, you little critter!

Oh!

Okay, boys.

Move it through!

Andie. Andie, up here.

Surly, they've got everyone.

The groundhogs,

Mole, even Buddy.

We can't win this thing.

Sure we can.

No, Andie, we can't.

Not with only two of us.

But we have to try.

Save yourself.

Surly, stop.

Find somewhere to hide.

Surly.

Ah!

That's all of them,

Mr. Mayor.

Ladies and gentlemen,

get back out there

and have a good time.

I assure you that our little

rodent problem has been solved.

I know you're out there!

Come and get me!

Mr. Feng will be

happy to see you.

Ahh!

Get going! Move it!

You were a lot cuter

before you had a weapon.

Hey, you're a long way from

the park, little squirrel.
