Cedric: I don't need
sky-diving lessons!

Bert: But you can jump
without lessons, Cedric!

Pig: He's going to jump!

Cyril: Now, step
on it before I..

Pig: Yikes, a bee! Au! Ouh!

Jumpmaster: Let go!
Cedric, jump!

Cedric: Aaaaaaah!
Bert: Hang on!

Jumpmaster: Let go!

[bam!]
Bert: Cedriiiick!!

Narrator: This is the
Evergreen forest.

Quiet, peaceful, serene.

That is, until
Bert Raccoon wakes up.

Bert Raccoon: Yahoooo!

♪♪

Yeeeehaaaa!

Yikes!

Yaaaah...
[bam!]

[laughs]
[smash!]

Yeaaaah!

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

Broo: [panting]

Narrator: Life would be simple
in the forest except for...

Cyril Sneer!

And his life would be simple

Narrator: When Cyril Sneer is
involved in a big deal,

it's big news in the
Evergreen forest.

And big news is what the
Evergreen Standard is all about.

But Ralph and Melissa Raccoon
will tell you,

it's not always easy
digging up the facts.

Ralph: Come on guys,
you must know something

about all these rumors.

Melissa: We know Cyril's
involved in some big deal

with Mr. Knox and
the Rotco Corporation.

All we want are a few details.

Pig 1: We can't
tell you a thing.

This is top secret.

Strictly need-to-know basis.

Pig 2: And the boss says, you
don't need to know anything.

Pig 3: As a matter of fact,

we don't even know what
you don't need to know.

Ralph: I see a career in
politics for these three..

Cyril: I said,
move it, meatballs!

Ralph: Mr. Sneer, we'd like
a comment on your latest

business venture with Rotco..

Cyril: No comment. Now, get
that flash out of my face

and get off my property,

you miserable muck rakers.
[tires screech]

[coughing]

Ralph: Oh boy,

I always enjoy these
little chats with Cyril.

[coughs]

But we're going to find out
what's behind this Rotco deal,

whether he likes it or not.

Cyril: Don't panic, Knox.

Ha! We've got 48 hours
to wrap up the deal.

I'm on my way over to the
Rotco offices right now.

And I'm bringing the million
bucks to prove I'm sincere.

Hahha. Ciao.

Floor it, you fluff
brains. Time is money.

Pig 1: B..b..but, boss.

This is a dangerous road.

Cyril: And I'm a
dangerous tycoon.

Now step on it before I..

Pig 2: Yikes. A bee. Yo ho ho.

Pigs: Yho ho ho ho.
Cyril: Yaaaaahhh.

[loud honk]

Uaaaaaaah!

[loud crash!]



Bert: Wow! Doesn't
that look like

the ultimate experience, Cedric?

Cedric: Yeah. The
ultimate absolute end.

Bert: I'm glad you feel
that way, old buddy.

Cause have I got
a surprise for you.

Oh, you're gonna love it!
[giggles]

Now, I know your birthday's
not till next week,

but I couldn't wait.

Here he is Bernie,
your new student!

Cedric: S-s-s-student?

Bert: That's right Cedric,

I emptied the old
piggy bank and signed us up

for skydiving lessons!

Happy birthday.

Cedric: B..b..but Bert, I
couldn't possibly accept

such an expensive gift.

Bert: Of course you can.

I may have to do without peanut
butter sodas for a month,

but my buddy's worth it!

Cedric: Uh..gee..thanks Bert.

Y-you're a real pal.

Cyril: Ooooohhh!

Lady Baden-Baden:
There, there, Cyril.

Your angel of mercy
is right here.

Cedric: Pop! Pop, are
you all right, Pop?

Cyril: Oooh. I feel like I
just went through a tax audit.

What happened?

Cedric: You were in a
pretty nasty accident, Pop.

Cyril: An accident?

Wait a minute..
wasn't there another car?

Ooh.

Whiplash! I tell you, whiplash!

Cedric, ooo, you'll have to
call the Rotco Corporation

and tell them I'll be a
little late for the meeting.

Ooooh, whiplash!

Did anyone get the number
of that other car?

Ingrid Bellamour:
No need to, Mr. Sneer.

It was my car.

Lady Baden-Baden:
Cyril..Cedric..may I present..

All Pigs: Ingrid Bellamour.

Lady Baden-Baden: Yes.
My old theatre chum,

Miss Ingrid Bellamour.

You may recognize her
from the silver screen.

Cyril: Pleased to meet
you, Miss Bellamour.

Ingrid: Mr. Sneer...Cyril,

Lady Baden-Baden has told me

a lot about you.

Cedric: Uh, Pop? Your whiplash?

Cyril: Oh.. [chuckles]
It's all cleared up.

We, Sneers, are fast
healers. Heh-heh.

Pig 1: We have seen
all your movies.

Pig 2: Twice!

The Rose and the Rapscallion
with Cliff Stallion.

Oh, and Queen
of the Endless Isle.

Pig 1: You and Lance Lemming
were just fabulous.

Pig 3: Oh yes..

And what about A Tree
Grows in Saskatchewan.

Oh, I cried all the
way through that one.

Ingrid: Why..thank you.
I'm honored, boys.

Cyril: Please,
forgive the intrusion.

Um, you wouldn't happen
to know where my money is,

would you, boys?

Pig 2: Uh, heh heh, it's uh,
it's all over the place, Sir,

uh uh the accident, uh.
You know? Hi-Hi!

Cyril: Well, how's about you go
gather it up, then, boys.

Cedric: Um.. Pop?

Do you still want me to
call about your meeting?

Cyril: Oh right. The meeting.

Ingrid: Since you
don't have a car,

perhaps I could drive you there.

I do feel partly responsible.

Cyril: A drive? With you?

I mean..um heh heh,

I can't imagine a more pleasant
prospect, Miss Bellamour.

Lady Baden-Baden: Cedric,
I do believe

your father is...is smitten.
[giggles]

Cedric: Pop? No way. Not Pop.

At least I don't think so.

Ralph: Ralph Raccoon of the
Standard here, to see Mr. Rotco?

Don't worry, I'll let myself in.

Uuurk. Ouch.
[bam!]

That guy has no
respect for the press.

Something smells in
the Rotco Corporation.

Melissa: Well then.. we
just have to get in there

and sniff out the story.

Let me try my feminine wiles.

Oooff. I must be getting rusty.

Ralph: Not in my books, baby.

[honking]

Cyril: I'll meet you
in an hour. Ta-taaa.

Melissa: Come on.

Maybe that lady can tell us
what's going on in there.

Excuse me?
Ralph: Ma'am?

Melissa: We're from the
Evergreen Standard and..

Aren't you Ingrid Bellamour?

Ingrid: That's right.
And you're the press.

You're just the people
I was coming to see.

Cedric: It's not fair.

Let's get your money back.

I don't really need
skydiving lessons.

Bert: You can't jump
without lessons, Cedric.

Jumpmaster: Come on men.
Let's hit the silk.

Bert: Going down!

Cedric: [nervous chuckle]

Yikes!

Bert: Wow! Hoo hoo!

Oh, that was some fun,
huh Cedric?

Cedric: Yeah, it wasn't so bad.

But there's a big difference
between ten feet

and.. ten thousand feet.

Bert: Well, only
a couple of zeros.

Jumpmaster: Nice form, men.

Now get on up here
and do it again.

Pig 2: So, eh,
we've found.. uh..

$7,062

That means we're missing..

Oh, let' see now.

Pig 1: There's lots
more out there, boys.

Wait a minute.

That's master Cedric!

And he's..he's
training for skydiving!

Pig 2: Skydiving?
That's crazy!

Pig 1: The boss will
want to hear about this.

Who-ho-ho! Who-ho-ho! Wah!

[thud!]

Pig 3: Oh! Mom always said

there'd be days like this.

Melissa: That's a very inspiring
story, Miss Bellamour.

Ralph: You know, fund raising is
Lady Baden-Baden's cup of tea.

She'll come through for you.

Melissa: We'll try and have
this story in today's edition.

That should help a bit.

Ingrid: Now that
you have my story,

I wonder if you'd tell me a
little more about Mr. Sneer.

He seems like such a sweet man.

Ralph: Heh, well there's..,

there's not much
I can really add to that.

Cyril: Ingrid, there you are!

And right on time.

Haven't you two got
something to do?

Knox: Mr. Sneer.

How dare you walk out in
the middle of our meeting!

Cyril: I had more important
things to do, Knox!

A gentleman never
keeps a lady waiting.

Shall we?

Ingrid: Why, thank you Cyril..

Knox: I don't care, Sir,

if you want to throw
away your fortune,

but you're risking mine too!

Cyril: Fortunes come
and go, old friend.

But the heart..

The heart remains steadfast.

Now if you'll just excuse us?

Ingrid: Cyril, please.

I don't want to interfere
in your business.

Cyril: From now on,
Ingrid, you are my business.

Cedric: Boy,
maybe he is smitten.

Bert: All right Cedric,

we are as ready
as we'll ever be.

Real men challenging
impossible odds.

Living life to the fullest.

Boy, this is one
birthday present

you'll never forget, huh Cedric?

Cedric: Yeah.

If I live to remember..

[motor rumbles]

[loud hum]

Bert..I.. I can't, Bert.

I-I'm sorry. I just
don't want to do it!

Bert: Cedric!...Wait!

Cyril: I'll bet your hot
sh*t co-star Lance Lemming

couldn't do this.

Ingrid: I don't know, Cyril.

I didn't' realize you had
so many hidden talents.

Cyril: Oh, I come from
a long line of

Sneers with hidden talents.

We're a humble lot, you know.

Ingrid: Thank you, Cyril.

I can't remember, when I've
enjoyed myself so much.

Cyril: I'm glad.

But it's not over yet.

Tinseltown has nothing
on the Evergreen forest.

Ingrid: Cyril, your life
is much more exciting

than any movie hero's life.

Cyril: Shucks.
I just try to keep busy.

Ingrid: You certainly
know how to put together

an exciting afternoon.

Cyril: So why should it end?

What about an exciting
evening together.

Ingrid: I'd love to, Cyril,

but..well, I have
an engagement.

Cyril: Oh..anyone I know?

Ingrid: It's a speaking
engagement, actually.

At Lady Baden-Baden's,
but that's not till later.

Cyril: Oh! Well,
I'll be there with, er,

bells on. Ha ha.

Er..well how about a
spot of tea at my place

before you go then?

It's not much really..

He! Just a little mansion.

Pig 1: Boss, here's the dough.

We found every last dollar.

Cyril: Good work, boys.
Put it in the vault.

Pig 2: Good work?!

Pig 3: He's never
said that before.

Pig 1: We've never
done that before.

But boss, there's something you
should know about master Cedric.

Cedric: What should Pop know?

Pig 1: Heh heh. Your
new hobby? Sky diving?

Cedric:
Well, that's all over. I quit!

Cyril: ..and this
is Percival Sneer,

Knight of the oblong table,

champion of the poor,
and all round nice guy.

Everyone says I'm a
lot like Percival.

Cedric: Oh, hi, Pop.
Hi, Miss Bellamour.

Cyril: Cedric, my boy,

what have you been
up to all day?

Cedric: Taking sky diving
lessons, but I decided to..

Cyril: Sky diving?!

My son?

Boy, that's great!

That's my son Cedric.

Carrying on the Sneer
tradition of daring deeds.

Good for you, son.

I'm uh, ho, ho, proud of you.

Cedric: Y-you are?

Ingrid: You must be
very brave, Cedric.

Cyril: Of course, he is.

He's a Sneer. Right son?

Cedric: Right, Pop.

Pig 2: Mr. Knox to see you,
boss.

He says..
Knox: ..he says.

Cyril: Hang on a minute, Knox.

[whispering] Whatever you do,
don't let Cedric

jump out of a plane. Any plane!

Knox: If you're quite
finished, sir?

I'm here to pass on a message
from the Rotco Corporation.

They need your commitment
to the plan immediately!

Cyril: Certainly, Knox.

A Sneer always comes
through on his commitments.

We'll close the deal tomorrow.

How does that sound?

Knox: Uh..well uh, that
sounds just jim dandy.

A pleasure doing
business with you, sir.

Ingrid: The Rotco Corporation?
Cyril: That's right, Ingrid.

They're setting up right
here in the forest.

You sound like you've heard of
the Rotco Corporation.

Ingrid: Yes,
I have heard of it.

I thought, you were an
honorable man, Cyril.

But anyone willing to deal
with the Rotco Corporation

has no honour at all.
[loud slam!]

Cyril: But..but..a minute ago,

everything was peachy.

Was it something I said?

Ralph: Ingrid Bellamour,

movie star, turned
environmental crusader.

Quite a career change, eh Bert?

Bert: Huh? Yeah, yeh.

Melissa: Did you know, she
single handedly convinced

Jumbo Chemicals to
clean up their act?

Bert: [sighs] Good for her.

Ralph: Are you coming
over to Lady Baden-Baden's

to hear Miss Bellamour's
fundraising speech?

Bert: Yeah. Maybe.

Melissa: Look Bert,

there's no point moping around.

Bert: I guess..

But I should have asked Cedric

if he wanted to go skydiving.

But oh no. I just signed him up.

Oh.

I wouldn't be surprised,
if he ever talks to me again.

Cedric: Come on, Bert.

We've got an appointment
with an airplane.

Bert: Yo.. You mean it, Cedric?

I-I mean.. oh, great!

Whatever you say, old buddy!

Ralph: So much for
another major crisis.

[knock-knock]

Melissa: Oh, hi, Miss Bellamour.

Is something wrong?

Ingrid: Yes. Yes,
something's very wrong.

I've got a new front
page story for you.

And I'm sorry to say,

that Cyril Sneer
gets the headline.

Pig 1: [panting]

If we lose master Cedric,

it's all your fault!

Pig 3: It's not my fault.

Pig 2: You ran over the rake.

Pig 1: [pants] There.

[tires squeals]

Hey. Come back here!

[tires squeal]

Shee!

[airplane humming]

Pig 2: Wait! Master
Cedric, wait!

Pig 1: Ahh. Oof.

Aaaaaah!

Uh!
[smash!]

Bert: Boy, I'm sure glad you
decided to jump, Cedric!

This is going to be fabulous!

Cedric: Heh heh. Yeah.

Bert: What made you
change your mind?

Cedric: A Sneer's gotta do
what a Sneer's gotta do!

Jumpmaster: Okay, boys!
We're over the jump zone.

Eight thousand feet.

Keep your eyes on the horizon!

Go for it!

Cedric: Bert, What's wrong?

Bert: It's.. so.. high!

I..I've changed my mind..

I..I..I'm not jumping!

Cedric: Well, I'm going!

Jumpmaster: Let go!
Cedric. Jump!

Bert: Cedric, speak to me!

♪♪

Ingrid: The Rotco Corporation
is one of the worst.

All their products are
meant to be thrown away.

And they refuse to
consider recycling.

Do we want a company like that
in this forest? Thank you.

[applause]

Lady Baden-Baden: After
that inspirational talk,

how could we not contribute
to Ingrid Bellamour's

Save Our World Fund.

Open those wallets now.

And recycle your money!

[laughter]

Ralph: Special edition
of the Standard.

Ingrid Bellamour reveals
the Evergreen forest

soon to be the new home
of the Rotco Corporation.

Guests: Oh!

Lady Baden-Baden:
Cyril Sneer and Mr. Knox?

Knoxieeee!

Lady Baden-Baden: After all
we just heard from Ingrid?

Oh, shame on you!

Knox: But, honey pie,

they were just planing
a tiny little factory.

Crowd: [chanting displeasure]

Ingrid: Cyril?

Crowd: [chanting]

I'm sorry it turned out
like this, Cyril.

Pig 1: Boss, come quick!

Pig 2: It's master Cedric!

He's going to jump!

Pig 3: I can't
understand it, boss.

He told us he didn't
want to jump.

Cyril: That was before some
idiot talked him into it.

Bert: Cedric,
you've got to jump!

We can't land
with you out there!

Jumpmaster: He's
got to jump soon!

Bad weather's moving in fast.

Cyril: Cedric!
It's all my fault!

I'm scared, Ingrid.

Cedric: Ahhh!
Bert: Hang on!

Jumpmaster: Let go!

Cedric: Ooooooh!

Bert: Cedriiiic!

I'm coming for yaaaaahhh!

Cyril: Cedric!!

All: Yaaaay!

Cyril: I've got him!
I've got him!

Ooof.

All: Hooray!

Bert: Yaaaahooooo!

Cedric: I did it, Pop.
I jumped! Did you see it?

Cyril: I sure did, son.

But if you don't mind,

I'd rather not see it again.

Cedric: [laughs]
If you insist, Pop.

Bert: Ce-Cedric,
are you all right?

Cedric: Yeah, I think so.

Wait a minute.
You jumped too, huh Bert?

Bert: Aw, it was nothing.

Hah hah. It was..it was..

eight..thousand..

Narrator: Cyril
and Cedric realized,

that when expectations
are too high,

the fall can be a long one.

But the landing
needn't be too rough,

if someone you care about is
there to catch you.

Ralph: Well, it's for sure.

Rotco's not moving
into the forest.

Bert: Maybe this little setback

will make them
clean up their act.

Ingrid: I hope so, Bert.
I just wish..

Cyril: Ahem.

I was going to use this
money for the Rotco deal.

But, what I'm trying to say is..

I was wrong, Ingrid.

So.. maybe your
Save Our World Fund

can find a better use for it.

Ingrid: It takes a leading man

to admit he was wrong.

Cyril: Maybe I'll see
you again sometime.

Ingrid: Oh, I'm fairly
sure you will, Cyril.

Bye, bye for now.

All: Bye!
Ralph: Take care.

Cyril: Darn woman. Telling
me how to run my life.

Cedric: [laughs]
Terrible isn't it, Pop?

Cyril: If I ever get like that,

let me know, will you, son?

Cedric: I'll uh,
jump to it, Pop.

Cyril: Don't get
smart with me, son.

Cedric: [laughs] Right, Pop.
