No Pop, I'm leaving.

I should have known!
[laughs]

They'll never know
what hit them!

Cedric, just stand right there

and he's never going back.

Narrator: This is the
Evergreen forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until
Bert Raccoon wakes up.

Bert Raccoon: Yahoooo!

Yeeeehaaaa!

Yikes!

Yaaaah...

Yeaaaah!

Narrator: Luckily, he has some
good friends to help him out.

It's a beautiful day.

The kind of day when everything
feels just right.

And as morning breaks in the
Evergreen forest,

Schaeffer is off
to help his friends

Ralph, Bert and Melissa Raccoon
with their garden.

Unfortunately for Ranger Dan,

things aren't as pleasant inside

as they are outside.

[kids laughing]

Dan: The kids promised
to clean this mess

first thing this morning.

Tommy, Julie, could you
please come in here?

Broo the Puppy: Woof-woof!
[ball bouncing]

[panting]
[ball bouncing]

Woof!
[panting]

[slobbers]

[pants]

[sad whine]

Dan: Didn't we make
an agreement last night?

You've got to be
more considerate,

and clean up the
messes you make.

Julie/Tommy: Yes, Dad.

Dan: I think it would be fair
if you guys cleaned up this mess

by the time I get
back, don't you?

Julie: Yes, Dad!

Tommy: Yes Dad.

Dan: Don't forget now,

I'll see you soon.

Julie/Tommy: Bye.

Julie: He's not very
happy with us, is he?

Here Tommy, you put
the toys in the box

and I'll put the books away.

Broo: [sad whine]

Tommy: This is no fun.

It's a lot nicer
outside than it is in here!

Julie: I know, I'd
rather be outside too,

but you heard Dad.

Tommy: You know,
if we weren't here,

then we wouldn't be making
these messes all the time.

Julie: And dad wouldn't be
getting angry with us.

Tommy: Maybe he'd
be happier without us.

Julie: Maybe he would.
Maybe we should leave.

Tommy: Yeah, we can
get along on our own.

Julie: Hey, you want to?
Come on Tommy?

It'll be fun!

Tommy: Yeah, let's go!

Broo: [whines]

Tommy: Ohh Broo...
we wouldn't leave without you.

Julie: I'll get the backpack!

Tommy: I'll get the food!

Julie: This will be fun!



I guess, we'll never
see this house again,

Tommy: Yeah.

Broo: Woof-woof!

Tommy: Hey Broo, wait for us!
Julie: Broo... [laugh]



[phone ringing]

Cyril: Big Time Corporation
down two points?!?

Buy 100 shares, got that?!

[phone ringing]

Enormous Industrial
up three points?!

[phone ringing]
Sell, sell!!

I'll make a fortune! Got that?

Cedric: Yep, Pop!

Cyril: Sofia will be here at 12.

Bring sandwiches. Got that?

Cedric: Yes, Pop!

Cyril: Sandwiches!?

Cedric: Uh...Pop?
That was a personal call for me.

Cyril: What?! I've told you
a thousand times,

no personal calls
on the business lines.

Cerdic: But Pop,
we don't have any other lines.

Cyril: That's because there's
no profit in a personal call.

Anyway, what's this about lunch,

when they're bucks to be?

Cedric: Well, I, I thought
I'd take an hour off

for a picnic with Sophia.

Cyril: An hour off??

That's where it all starts.

Then you'll want an
hour and a half off!

Then you'll want a week off!

Then three weeks paid
vacation and a dental plan!

Cedric: No, Pop!

It's just a picnic.

Cyril: Oooh,
now it's a company picnic?

Next, it'll be a company car,
and then a pension!

Why don't you
just retire right now?!

[slam!]

Cerdic: Well, uh...
if that's what you want.

If that's the way he wants it,

then that's the
way he'll get it.

Retire right now, huh?

Well, maybe I will take
the rest of my life off!

Cyril: Cedric,
the stock market has reopened!

You're not still going
on that picnic, are you?

Cedric: No Pop, I'm leaving!

Cyril: Snow shoes?!

Where is this picnic?
The North Pole?

[laughs]

That was a little
funny one there! [laughs]

Cedric?

Cedric: No Father,
you told me to retire,

and that's what I'm going to do.

Cyril: Don't be foolish,
you're overreacting.

Cedric: Could you please
hand me my snorkel?

Cyril: Well,
seeing you're intent on it,

Let me help you pack.

Cedric: No, thank you!

Cyril: And while we're at it,

why don't I call the limousine?

Cedric: I can manage very well
on my own. Thank you.

Cyril: So alright!

You call the limousine.

Don't forget to write!

Running away from home...
Ha! He'll be back.

They all come back.

♪ [suspenseful music]

Narrator: At that moment,
not far off in the forest,

Schaeffer, Ralph,
Melissa and Bert

were busy gathering the fall
harvest from their garden.

Bert: He-he-he...

he-he-hechooo!

Melissa: Woaaah!

Oh!

[bam, ploink!]

Bert: Ow!

Melissa: Oh, sorry Bert,

are you alright?

Bert: I...yeah, I think so.

[ploink!]

[wagon squeaking]

Cedric: Hi guys.
Ralph: Hi Cedric!

Schaeffer: Hey.
What's in the trunk?

Cedric: Oh nothing,

just a few of my
personal belongings.

Melissa: Cedric,
is everything all right?

Cedric: No. I've left home.

Pop doesn't appreciate me.

He thinks I'm just a living,
breathing, adding machine.

Melissa: Oh, Cedric.

Cyril loves you, in
his own mercenary way.

Cedric: Well, he sure has a
funny way of showing it,

Ralph: But what are
you going to do?

Where are you going to stay?

Cerdic: Well, I...

I guess I'll just
camp up somewhere other.

Bert: Heeeey, I know!

You can share my room.

Melissa: That's right!
You can stay with us.

Ralph: We'd be happy
to help you out.

Bert: It'll be like a
sleepover party!

Every night!
[laughs] Yoohooo!

Cedric: This is gonna be fun!

I think I'm going to be
very happy in my new home.

Gee, thanks guys.



Narrator: As the day wore on,

Tommy and Julie were having
a wonderful time,

as they wandered
further from home

and deeper into
the Evergreen forest.

Ralph: Cedric,
what are you doing?

Cedric: Making
an inventory chart.

Every time you take
a jar from the cupboard,

you have to sign for it.

Pop does that.

Inventory control cuts costs.

Melissa: Cedric, we
don't need to do that here.

Cedric: Melissa, if you cut down

on the number
of carrots per jar,

you could increase your
growth product by 10%.

whole system in a day,

I can have everything

Not me. I was him last time.

Not me! The glasses

Sophia: Oh, terrible!
Cedric: Really?

Sophia: Yes, the pigs have made
a mess out of everything.

Cedric: Really?

Did he say anything about me?

Sophia: Well...

He seemed to think
you'd be back in an hour.

'Cause Cedric's stayin' right
here where he's needed!!

Right, roomy?
