[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

thank you thank you I call that one

peanut butter me I gotta get back to

slacking off

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

that's disgusting we talked about this

no flick-flick ah sorry bought it time

to respect your personal space when it

tastes like peanut butter there's a

peanut butter machine right there

[Music]

this is the life huh kick it back

literally doing nothing

[Music]

there it is with a little hard work and

determination that nut why don't we just

get free nuts from the nut job like

everyone else does anybody else think

that's a good idea

no it's a terrible idea 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 now

pay attention because this will be on

the test remember the nuts is your

friends it's been waiting its whole life

for this place your hands at 10:00 and

2:00 and gently pull gently the nut

shops looking better and better the

class hard work always pays off

see so bad now we can squirrel that not

away for the winter who wants to go to

the nut shop

surely hold that cranky response I got

you something a Bridgeville nut yeah

it's exotic yeah thought you might like

that really sweet I can't believe he's

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

living off the nut shop was okay in the

beginning classic this is not what

animals do we work hard we store we save

look at all of you lazy boy old and me

fat mm-hmm come back to the pack surly

it's where we belong

[Music]

and that's my favorite thing about being

mayor you can't decide your own permits

yeah

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 right

people but I've got a thorn in my side

what a part of this city puts nothing in

my Liberty Park nothing but grass and

trees sitting on pretty real estate

generates zero profit I can't very well

charge children to climb trees now

Canada I'll look into it sir dollar a

climb no need I got bigger plans and

trees

[Laughter]

and II 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

[Music]

what's wrong with easy easy doesn't

build character

that's ridiculous look at him working

together building character Morales oh

you gotta get with the program baby it's

a house and it's only a matter of time

till it comes crashing down relax it's

not like the nut shops could explode the

peanut butter machine was in there oh

dear

Moe you had one job what was that again

shut off the boiler so it doesn't

explode he's not my fault I don't do it

I told Johnny to do

I told Jamie to do it and I told mole to

do it oh where are 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 you'll

take care of everything it's over surely

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 the city's got everything

popcorn

doughnuts hot dog on a stick

[Music]

do you say buddy you in there are no

shortcuts in life surly oh really come

on buddy let's take this shortcut no

when we find food Annie's gonna be all

like Oh

surly you were right all along and I was

wrong all along please Andy don't beat

yourself up about it

Oh Shirley you're so wise and forgiving

and kind and nice and furry

don't worry Andy I forgive you

[Music]

jackpot

[Music]
