$1 Million.

That's the final offer.

If you want
that peanut farm so badly,

Sign on the line.

You're a bandit,
flintheart.

You're a fool, mcduck.

You shelled out
twice as much

As that nut farm's worth.

I'll be a rich fool.

What's that mean?

I'll triple
my investment

Once I manufacture
my new car,

The goober sx.

It runs on peanut oil.

You no-good, money-grubbing,
business banshee.

You'll pay for this.

I'll mail you
my check today.

Ha ha ha ha.

Hee hee. I love getting
the best of that weasel.

[Crash]

What's that?

Here come bubba.

Dribble down
the middle.

Bubba fake.
Bubba pass.

Bubba dunka!

Bubba flubba!

Uh-oh. Time out.

No boulders
in the mansion.

Sorry, scrooge.

Don't be too
hard on him.

Since we showed him
the sports channel,

He's become
a sports junkie.

Stop him before
the mansion's junked.

Come on.
Better dribble
outside.

You can bounce this check
to the mailbox.

You said it was bad
to bounce checks.

Well, never mind, huey.

What's this?

This be a pleasant
and delightful odor.

Like strawberries?

Licorice?

No, like...like gold!

Gold!
Gold!
Gold!

Aye. I'd know that
bonnie scent anywhere.

It's in all
the stationery.

How did the gold
get there?

It got into the wood
at the paper mill.

Let's unravel this mystery.

Gee, the great ducky
mountains are so green.

Like greenbacks, I hope.

Pardon me, but
what are we looking for?

According
to the paper-mill workers,

The trees they used
came from this forest.

So there's gold
in them thar trees?

I hope so.

Circle once more,
launchpad.

I want another look.

No problem-o.
I'm a master
at going in circles.

Uh-oh.

Ohh!
Yeow!
Yikes!

Aren't we too high
for a falling rock zone?

Yeow!

Another first.

A tree-point landing.

Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!

Remember what
I said about playing
with rocks indoors?

That goes
for planes, too!

Launchpad, try getting
the plane down

While we look around.

Bubba go, too?

You've caused
enough trouble.

You stay
and help launchpad.

Ohh.

Thanks a lot,
mr. Mcd.

Letter for
flintheart glomgold.

Postage due.

Just like that
nickel-licker mcduck
not to use stamps.

It's time
this check got here.

What's that smell?

If my name
isn't flintheart glomgold,

It's gold!

Where would scrooge
mcduck get gold paper?

Keep your eyes
peeled for signs--

Ah! Gold!

I don't see
anything.

As plain as day.

A gold pine needle.

I've heard
of 20-20 vision,

But not 40-karat.

It blew over this ridge.

Oh!

Wow!
Wow!
Wow!

Golden trees!
Golden trees!

How could this be?

These trees are growing
over a gold deposit

That
the roots soaked up.

Now I get to cut down
the beautiful profits.

How do you know
they're yours?

They're on my land.

Are you sure?

We walked awfully far.

I'll check the property
records in town.

Then we'll
start cutting.

Darn me argyles.

You were right.

The gold trees
are outside my property.

Who owns the land?

Glittering goldie.

Your old
girlfriend?

Aye.

She won't sell land
with gold trees.

Perhaps she doesn't know.

She'll be surprised
when she learns

About the gold trees.

What gold trees?

You're not telling her?

Uncle scrooge,
that's not fair.

Don't worry about goldie.

She drives a hard bargain.

She learned
from the best--me.

Gold trees, huh?

I knew mcduck
didn't come here

To collect pine cones.

Time to call some
unsavory saps to help.

Hey, what's
cooking, brothers?

Moose antlers, again?

Moose antlers
for breakfast,

For lunch.

I'm sick
of moose antlers.

We're too poor
to buy grub.

Whoever said
crime doesn't pay
wasn't joking.

[Knock on door]

Greetings. Flintheart
glomgold here.

Might you
be beagle boys?

I'm backwoods beagle.

These are
my twin brothers,

Binky and bacon.

Twins?
He's a pig.

He had a bad case
of swine flu.

Your brothers
in duckburg
said you'd help me.

Doing what?

Scrooge mcduck's
trying to deal
with glittering goldie.

I could use
some hillbullies

To keep him from her.

Let me check
our calendar.

[Oink oink snort]

What?

He ate our calendar.

We'll take the job.

What do you think
of my coonskin spats?

I'd look stupid.
You just look eccentric.

Bet this buckskin
was expensive.

It's an investment.

Here's the candy.

Bubba picked flowers.

Ok, he's coming.

Let's give him
a big ducky mountain
welcome.

We'll roll out
the welcome rock.

Uncle scrooge!
Uncle scrooge!

Look out!
Look out!

Help!

Play ball!

I think we better go.

What's a fur-lined couch
doing in a cave?

[Bear roars]

Are you ok, uncle scrooge?

Thanks to bubba.

These backwoods
can be treacherous.

This must be the place.

What low-down varmint's
trespassing on my property?

Goldie, don't sh**t.
It's me.

Scrooge mcduck?

What are you doing
in these woods?

I might ask you
the same thing.

What happened
to your klondike claim?

It got picked clean.

So I retired
from prospecting

And took up
a more lucrative pursuit,

Lumberjacking.

It agrees with you.

You're a bonnie sight.

Oh, goldenrods!

And chocolate
silver dollars.

Oh, you old romantic.

Come in
and sit a spell.

I was hoping
we'd have dinner.

I've got a proposition.

I'd love to.

I already have
a date tonight.

You do?

[Knock on door]

Good evening, lassie.

Flintheart glomgold!

Well, well.
Small forest, isn't it?

I see you
know each other.

Yes. We go way back.

Right, scroogie?

Wonderful.

Since
you're friends,

Why not go
out together?

I'd rather--

Splendid idea.

I'd love to join you.

Make yourselves
at home,

While I get myself
gussied up.

Two's company,
three's a w*r,
scroogie.

Stay away from my girl.

If anyone's leaving,
it's you.

We'll see
about that.

Out you go.

No, out you go!

No, you!

You!

You!

You!

Huh?
Huh?

Yoo-hoo!

What do you think?

You look
like $1 million.

Make that a billion.

Cheapskate.

Go on with you now.

Let's get some grub.

Allow me.

No. Me.

This will be
a night to remember.

Well,
here we are, boys.

The moosehead lodge.

Park while
we get a table.

Ohh!

We've waited
just like you said.

Get scrooge out of there
so I can close the deal.

Hey, no problem.

We'll say he
has a phone call,

Then we'll nail him.

I'm dealing with a pig.

[Oink oink]

What?

He can't believe
he is, either.

Welcome to
the moosehead.

Today's specials are moose
flambe, cajun moose,

And for you greek lovers,

Our famous moose-saka.

What, no
chocolate mousse?

Never heard of it.

I don't really
like moose.

The only
other restaurant
is yak-in-the-box.

Forget about food.

About
my proposition--

I've got a proposition
you can't refuse.

Wait a second.

Urgent phone call
for scrooge mcduck.

Go away.

It might be
a business call.

Nobody knows I'm here.

I meant to say
your headlights
was on.

Your mother's sick.

The grunion
are running.

Excuse me.

You idiot!

What do you think--

Get these pigs
off of me!

So, what's
the proposition, scrooge?

There comes a time
in a man's life

When he wants more,

To expand
his holdings,

To broaden his--

Are you asking
to marry me?

I'm asking
to buy your land--

Parcel 3289, map 276.

Over my
defeathered body!

I'll offer you
a great deal.

You wouldn't know
a good deal

If it was behind
door three.

Boys! Boys! Settle down.

You'd think there
was gold on that land.

Tell you what,

I'll take
the sweetest offer.

I'll offer $100,000.

$100,001.

$200,000.

$100,003.

Oh, what's
a lumberjill like me

Going to do
with money?

I'll throw in dishes.

I'll throw
in dishes and my land.

Two sets of dishes
and scrooge's land.

Sorry, flintie.

You've got
a deal, scroogie.

Done.

Don't be too sure
you won, mcduck.

There's more
than one way
to skin a scot.

Boxes,
chain saws, shovels,

Termite spray,
beaver repellent.

Gee, uncle scrooge,

We've never seen you
shop till you drop
before.

I'm returning this
soon as I cut down
those trees.

Yo, mr. Mcd!

What do you think
of the new me?

Lumberjack mcquack!

I think
you're a lumber-jerk!

Tying my hands is
cruel and unusual punishment.

You've already crashed
a plane and a store.

You're not touching
my gold trees.

My trees!
Where have they gone?

Got me stumped.

This is
no time for puns.

Somebody stole my trees.

The tree thieves
must have gone
that way!

We've got to catch
those lumber-jackals.

Tie them down
tight, boys.

Don't want these $1 million
dogwoods escaping.

Stop, you forest felons.

Into the water, quick!

Oh, that hurts!

Aiee!

Way to go, team!

Get away, river rat.

These logs are mine.

No! They're mine,
you wood weasel!

They are not!

I stole them
fair and square.

Wait!

What's that?

Suffering scots!

Look!

Abandon logs.

Women and
chiselers first!

I'm the captain,

And I go down
with the ship!

I paid too much
to leave these logs.

Aah!

Ahh...oh....

Oh....

Where am i?

What happened?

You bumped your head
over the falls.

You're about to get
a splitting headache.

Help!

Help!

I'd show you
how to shut this off,

But I'm
catching a train.

Help!

Anybody but launchpad...

Help!

Hey, boss! Wait up, eh?

At last I've got
the best of mcduck!

Ha ha ha ha.

Mr. Whiskers is getting away
with the gold wood.

Bubba bowl!

Strike!

This ain't a golden
moment in crime, eh?

Way to go, bubba.

You sure
derailed their plans.

Uncle scrooge
would be proud.

Hey! Where
is uncle scrooge?

Help!

Don't worry.
I'll save him!

But, launchpad,
wait!

Only an adult
should try this
dangerous rescue.

But listen!

Here I come, mr. Mcd!

Oops!

What was that
you wanted to tell me?

There's an off switch.

Thank you, lads.

A few more seconds,

You'd have
two uncle scrooges.

Bubba stopped flintheart
from stealing your trees.

They're safe
at the gorge.

Let's get to
the gold deposit
before that's stolen.

Uncle scrooge,
aren't these roots
growing kind of funny?

I've never seen roots
grow sideways before.

Where's the gold
they've soaked up?

Did someone say gold?

G-g-goldie!

What brings you here?

The same
that brought you--gold.

Like in
those tree stumps.

Gold? Tree stumps?

I--i--i--i....

I owe you an apology.

I didn't tell you
why I wanted your land.

I'm no better
than glomgold.

In good conscience,

I cannot keep your land.

I have only
one thing to say.

A deal is a deal.

You'll let me
keep the land?

We have a contract.

I intend
to stick to it.

Yahoo!

Come on.
We're digging for dollars.

Hallelujah!
We found it!

Hold it
right there, scrooge.

According to
the property records,

You've just crossed
onto my land.

What?

Imagine that.

The gold trees
are on your land,

But the gold
deposit is on mine.

There's a mistake!

And you made it!

Why you poker-faced
prospector!

You knew about
the trees and gold.

Who sent you
that gold stationery?

I've been working
to get your land
for months.

I've got a gold deposit,

And you've got
some lousy tree stumps.

Ooh! Goldie!

You're a dirty
deal-maker!

I learned
from the master.
