The Nut Job 3: Gets Nuts/Transcript

Intro/Surly's Proposal
Surly: [voice over] Greetings, I'm a very amazing squirrel with a very good reputation. But I haven't always been that way It was after we bid good riddance to that well know thief, Raccoon, who we originally thought was our leader to be followed.After we realized his true intentions, thanks to Andie who managed to witness his actions red handed and has the trust of the animals. Whatever happened to him and wherever he is, if he is still alive, we'll be ready for him.

Andie [voice over] Surly, you haven't eaten your breakfast.

Surly [voice over] Hold on, Andie. Pardon me, that was my girlfriend, Andie, but you already knew that, right? So, I bet you're wondering what else I have to say. I have been scrounging around and getting nuts which didn't turn out to be so bad. A mute rat, happens to be my best true friend, Buddy. I have other friends too, three groundhogs, Jimmy, Johnny, and Jamie, one mole, Mole, another squirrel Grayson, a gang of kung fu mice, led by Mr. Feng, a pug, Precious, a bulldog, Frankie, and of course their kids Mani, Crema, and Licorice. There are many other park animals as well, that make up a group that is more like family, and I'm proud to say that I'm the leader.

Andie [voice over] Surly, eat your breakfast.

Surly [voice over] Hold on, Andie. After breakfast, I'm finally going to ask you something very important to me something I've been waiting to ask quite sometime.

Andie [voice over] Surly!

Surly [voice over] Okay already, Andie. I will eat my breakfast if that will make you happy!

Andie [voice over] Did you just give me a big voice?

Surly [voice over] Sorry.

Surly: Yum, nuts.

Andie: Surly, get off the table. Where are your manners?

Surly: [sighs] Sorry. Thank you Andie for scrounging some nuts for me.

[13 Minutes later]

Surly: Mm mmm mm mm mmm well those were so crunchy. No more looking for nut shops, just living in the park scrounging. Ah, yes, now what was I going to tell Andie? Oh, I remember I'm going to ask out on a second date. Hmm, but what should I do so she'll say yes? [finds a bush and hides in it] Oh, I know, I'll look for a rare, golden nut and when I show it to her, she'll be like [imitates Andie's voice] Oh Surly, it's beautiful. [uses his normal voice] Andie, my sweetheart, you may overdo it. A little. [imitates Andie's voice again] "You may not be burly, Surly, but you're still the sweetest, most loyal squirrel I never ever should have doubted. How could I be so blind?" [uses his normal voice again] Don't worry Andie, it's over now. We're not too big, and we're not too tough, but when we work together we got the right stuff. We should be called the "Critter Fighters" [imitates Andie's voice] "No thank you. I know the Hearty Critters." [uses his normal voice again and hugs a piece of the bush, pretending it is Andie] Good idea, Andie. You're the hottest and prettiest squirrel with the best idea.

Andie: Surly.

Surly: Whoa, what, yes Andie?

Andie: I thought I'd find you somewhere slacking off. What did I hear you doing, and who were you talking about when you said "blind"

Surly: [laughs nervously] Uh, nothing, just, just practicing to speak clear, and about blind just thinking I could through a bush like glass.

Andie: Oh, forget about it you copy cat. Or should I say, squirrel?

Surly and Andie's wedding and dance of romance/Surly and Andie's honeymoon
[During the evening, Surly and Andie approach each other with the other animals watching them pass them in a straight space]

Surly: I can't believe it, we're finally getting married. This is so beautiful.

Andie: Surly, take my paw. Buddy is getting ready to announce us as Mr. Surly and Mrs. Andie.

Surly: Oh, Mr. Surly and Mrs. Andie, I love it. [takes Andie's right paw]

Andie: Surly, you're suppose to hold my left paw.

Surly: Oh, right. [holds Andie’s left paw]

At the museum/Emily Rogers
[At night, a man exits his van and walks in the museum while carrying a cage]

???: Good evening, Grant.

Grant: Miss Emily Rogers.

[Emily turns her face behind to Grant and the cage he's carrying]

Emily: Another delivery from the docks?

Grant: [nervously nods]

Emily: Bring it here.

[Emily enters her lab with Grant following her. Grant uncovers the cage, revealing a vibrant colored-iguana]

Emily: [fascinated] Yes... You are going to make a fantastic edition to the collection.

Grant: Aren't you going to stuff the other animals that you had?

Emily: Not really. There's not enough for this dusty old collection of mine. However, I need something rare. Rare breeds.

Grant: Well, I did see an animal across in the park with an unusual color.

Emily: Oh yes?

Grant: While I was driving to the museum, I noticed a differently-colored squirrel in Liberty Park with a female red squirrel, probably they're mates. That male squirrel must've been purple.

[The final thought caught Emily's attention as she turns to Grant]

Emily: [surprised] Did you say purple squirrel?

Grant: [nervously] Yes...

Emily: What happened to him [slowly marches up to Grant]

Grant: [nervously slowly backs away from her] He sneaked down the burnt oak tree.

Emily: Yes.

Grant: I tried to get them both.

Emily: Good.

Grant: But they got away easily.

Emily: [slaps Grant across the face for his failure] I'm sorry, it's just that creature means a lot to me.

Grant: Why? Is he endangered?

Emily: [chuckles] Not just him, the rest of the park rodents too. As soon as I get those park rodents, my collection will be popular.

[Emily puts the iguana back in the cage and carries it to a room full of rare animals in cages. The animals fearfully look at Emily]

Emily: [puts the iguana in the cage down] I'll be stuffing you all as long as the lot of you don't escape [exits the room and closes the door]

The baby shower/The flashback of young Surly and Andie
Precious: Tell us, Surly. How did you and Andie get to be so close before you started caring so much about each other?

Surly: Well, it was a beautiful day.

[Flashback to toddler Surly finding Buddy]

Surly: [voice-over] A day when I was playing hide n seek with my Buddy.

Toddler Surly: [laughs] Buddy, where are you Buddy? [Surly climbs up a tree looking for Buddy when a sudden strong wind causes him to lose his balance and he falls from one of the tree branches] Whoa.[He lands on the ground knocking him unconscious]

Surly: [voice-over] And that's when I met the poorest and nicest, female squirrel 30 seconds later after I fell off a tree.

[Toddler Surly slowly wakes up and and has a blurry vision of three figures one on the left and one on the right sliding back and forth between the one in the middle. Eventually, his blurry vision starts to fade, returning to normal and the figures fuse together revealing the young, pretty female squirrel, Andie ]

Toddler Andie: Excuse me, but are you okay?

Toddler Surly: [quietly] Whoa... [gets up] Ow. I'm okay, I fell off a tree Who are you?

Toddler Andie: [gets up] My name is Andie, and you?

Toddler Surly: I'm Surly. Pleased to meet you, Andie. [shakes Andie's hand]

Toddler Andie: That tree happens to be my home.

Toddler Surly: Oh sorry. I was only playing a game of hide n seek with my rat friend, Buddy. Want to play?

Toddler Andie: Thanks, but I'm a little busy gathering nuts for my family and friends. I could use some help.

Toddler Surly: I'll help, but I need to find Buddy first.

Toddler Andie: Well maybe for a short time.

Toddler Surly: Great. [takes Andie's hand and moves on] Let's go.

Toddler Andie [quietly] Hmm, Surly...

Surly: [voice over] We had fun. Until all of a sudden...

[Evil, dirty rats pounce from out of nowhere]

Toddler Surly: Huh? whoa!

Toddler Andie: Oh no! Where did those rats come from

Toddler Surly: I don't know, but run!

Surly: [voice over] We were attacked by evil, dirty rats and they wouldn't stop chasing us.

[Toddler Andie trips]

Toddler Andie: Surly, help! I tripped!

Toddler Surly: Andie! I got you! [one of rats comes and claws Surly's back] Ow!

Toddler Andie: Surly!

[Surly pick Andie up and jumps away and they get cornered against a tree]

Toddler Surly: Leave us alone!

Toddler Andie: There is too many of them!

Toddler Surly: I don't know what they're going to do to us. Just close your eyes.

[Andie closes her eyes as the rats start approaching the little squirrels, Surly bites one's nose causing it to back away and angering it as it resumes approaching them]

Surly: [voice-over] They cornered us, but before they could do anymore harm...

[Buddy and many other animals come to rescue them throwing nuts, rocks, and other things at the rats while standing on the tree's branches]

Toddler Surly: Huh, who did that? Buddy!

Toddler Andie: Buddy? Is that?

Toddler Surly: Yeah!

Surly: [voice-over] Buddy saves the day once again.

[The rats get hit and run away]

Toddler Surly: We're safe.

[Toddler Surly and Andie hug and Buddy jumps down from one of the branches and goes to give Surly a hug; Flashback fades back to the present]

Surly: And that's how Andie and I first met. She's still as pretty as the day I saw her. Who would have thought we'd be chased by mean rats?

Jimmy: It looks like you and Andie are made for each other.

In Emily's evil lair/Directions to escape the museum
[Emily throws a knife to one of the photos of Surly and the park animals of her desk]

Emily: [laughs evilly] They are now.

[Surly and the others overheard what Emily said and they became frightened of being stuffed and added to the collection with all the others animals that Emily stuffed]

Surly: [nervously gulps] We're next...

[Mole faints out of anxiety]

Redline: She..... is...... an.... animal...... killer....

Andie: What happened?

Operation: Museum Escape success
[Back in the museum, Emily turns the switch back on as she saw Surly and the others' pawprints on the floor as she learns that they escaped the museum]

Emily: Sabotage...

Meet Grayson, Maddie, Eva, and Bradley/Surly and Maddie's reunion
[Meanwhile in the alleyways, Surly and the others are hiding in the boxes from the shadowy figures]

Jimmy: [whispering] What’d you think Surly? Should we ask them to help us?

Surly: [whispering] Last time we trusted Raccoon, he was responsible for the food shortage and tried to get rid of us!

Surly: Maddie? Sis?

Maddie: Surly? Bro?

Surly: Long time no see, I missed you. [Hugs and Maddie and introduces her to his friends] Everyone meet my sister.

Raccoon's return/Raccoon and the street rats plotting for revenge
[Emily is spying on them while hiding behind the corner]

Emily: [interested] A raccoon, a Northern cardinal bird, and street rats? [laughs evilly] They'll make an excellent edition to the collection as well along with that purple squirrel and all of the park rodents. That purple squirrel is mine...

A relaxing twilight
Bradley: Jimmy, we just ate and I can't believe you're hungry already.

Jimmy: I'm sorry, it's just those kraft cakes makes me think about trying out all of the food.

[Bradley and Mole groan in disgust of what Jimmy said]

Buddy and Eva's love at first sight
[Buddy opens the bead curtains and was surprised to see Eva again, who was shaking in fear upon seeing him again]

Andie: [offscreen; sighing in relaxation] The hot tub and facial mask is so relaxing.... My whole body feels like it’s melting away.

Maddie: [offscreen] I’m so glad that you two are enjoying your first spa night.

Surly: [offscreen] Yeah, though I really never gotten an oil massage before. You think your friend Eva is one to be massaging me?

Maddie: [offscreen] Of course! Eva is an excellent masseuse and she's the best for massaging animals.

[Buddy looks at Eva longingly as Eva motions him to carry the box for her. While Buddy carries the box for her, Eva notices the sapphire jewel on his necklace and giggles. Buddy notices what Eva is giggling about and then smiles and blushes. Buddy and Eva look at each other romantically until Maddie calls for Eva]

Maddie: [offscreen] Eva! Where are you? Some customers are waiting for you.

[Eva hears Maddie's voice and then runs off as Buddy watches her]

Surly and Maddie's argument/Raccoon and the street rats appear/Emily reappears/Emily's backstory/Emily recaptures Surly and the others
[After the party, Surly, Maddie, and the others are relaxing after having a great time]

Maddie: I'm glad that we do anything together just like when we were young.

Surly: [smiles warmly] Me too, sis. [frowns in sadness] But... we can’t do that anymore.

Maddie: Huh?

[Andie, Buddy, and the Bruisers are suddenly concerned of what Surly's going to say to Maddie]

Surly: [gets angry] You just left me isolated and stuck in the bench without anyone but Buddy and we became outcasts of the park because of our thieving business!!!

Maddie: [gets angry too] That wasn’t even my fault, okay?! I got lost and couldn’t find the park, that’s all!!

Surly: YES... IT.... WAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!! We were so close together until you disappeared for no reason!!! Mom got killed by street rats and Dad looked everywhere for you but he died in an illness because of you!!

Maddie: [crosses her arms] Are you saying that I don’t care about you anymore?!

Surly: NO! NO! NO!

Maddie: Then, what Surly, huh?!

Surly: You just had to make a choice! Some choice, sis!

Maddie: [sarcastically] Well sorry I could not do any better! [scoffs]

Surly:

Maddie:

Surly:

Maddie:

Surly: Well you know what.... [unable to finish his sentence. He then walks away from her] Forget it then!

Maddie: Fine! [turns her head away]

[

Surly: [suddenly realized something] Wait a sec, you don't think.... Emily could've-

???: Going somewhere?

[Surly and the others turn behind them and they were in complete shock when they saw Emily]

Jimmy: [scared] The animal murderer found us!

Surly: What happened?

Emily: Well, there you all are. I'm surprised of how you all escaped without getting caught. And by the way, I knew who helped you escape anyway.

[The animals officers lift a cage with Robert, Ava, Roily, and Shewsh inside, who are badly injured by them. Surly and the others gasped in shock upon seeing them injured]

Robert: [weakly] S-Sorry squirrel... She got us too...

Surly: [shocked] Robert.... What have she done to you all?

Emily: Each of these people has been immortalized through their finds. But do either of you see anything from my father? No. Because when he met each of your precious species, he refused to collect a specimen of each of them.

[Flashback to Nicholas Rogers and the explorer society with a young Emily and his wife beside]

Emily: [voice-over] He could've been rich and famous! But instead, he threw everything away, and opened a zoo. [the scene changes to the zoo] He put the happiness of a few furry creatures above his own flesh and blood. I vowed that one day I would finish the job my father never could.

[Flashback fades back to the present]

Emily: And now, at last, that day has come.

[Emily pulls the lever]

Emily: That's right, I'm going to stuff you all. [grins evilly]

Surly: [nervously gulps] I knew it...

[Mole faints out of anxiety]

Emily: Get them all.

[The animal officers bring out there equipment]

Surly: Everybody, take cover!

[Surly and Andie ran behind a trash can. They then saw Maddie dodging the animal officers, avoiding being held captive]

Surly: Sis, over here!

[Maddie hears Surly's voice as she runs behind the trash can where Surly and Andie are hiding]

Maddie: Guys, she got everyone. Buddy, Grayson, the Bruisers, Mole, Mr. Feng, even Eva and Bradley.

[Emily spots Surly, Andie, Maddie, and Raccoon behind the trash can]

Emily: [points her tranquilizer gun at them] You are all mine!

[Emily fires four darts at Surly, Andie, Maddie, and Raccoon, knocking them out instantly]

In the van/Surly and Maddie's reconciliation/Surly and Andie's romantic moment/The kiss
[Moments later in the van, Surly regains his consciousness and sees the animals in cages]

Surly: You guys okay?

Jamie: We sure are.

Precious: We're glad you're okay too.

[Outside the van, Emily gets in the van]

Emily: [to the animals; cruelly] The lot of you aren't going anywhere but here! And this time, I'm not letting you all escape again!

[Emily and the animal officers began to drive back to the museum]

Jimmy: I should've eaten an extra kraft cake before this!

Johnny: Yeah, me too!

Surly: THAT'S YOUR FINAL THOUGHT?!

Mole: Yes! They were very good!

Maddie: [hugs Surly tightly] I’m sorry too...

[Surly smiles and hugs Maddie back]

[Surly pulls out a beautiful light blue rose and puts it on Andie's left ear]

Andie: [smiles romantically and blushes pink] You kept it in there the whole time Surly?

Surly: It was my surprise gift for you, for how much I love you.

Andie: [still blushing pink and happy] Thank you Surly.

[Surly and Andie kiss each other on the lips. Maddie, Buddy, and the other animals smiled at Surly and Andie before Eva pulls Buddy into a kiss]

The chase/HISS's defeat and Emily's arrest/Andie in labor
Police rookie: Sarge, we're taking the rest of the animals that she has to the zoo where they'll be safe and happy. We'll take the rest of the park animals back to Liberty Park. We'll also take some of the animals that she tortured to the wildlife rescue shelter. Code eight.

Police Officer: Copy that, rookie.

[The head Police Officer handcuffs Emily as he escorts her to the police car]

Emily: I almost got away with it! If it wasn't for those four meddling squirrels, the two lanky rats, the three annoying groundhogs, the cowardly mole, the two intrusive dogs, the merciless white mouse and his white mice army, and that big fat raccoon!

Jamie: Tell that to the judge, you animal murderer!

[Emily angrily looks and growls at Surly and the others as she and the animal officers are driven away by the police]

Frankie: Yeah, tell that to your inmate as well too!

[Surly and the other animals cheer in victory]

Surly: Alright! Emily’s finally gone!

Andie: We did it, guys!

Jimmy: Yeah! [grabs one of the street rats and kisses him, much to the street rat's disgust]

Heading back to the park/The birth of Surly and Andie's children/The second kiss/Raccoon and the street rats‘ redemption
[After a long drive to Liberty Park, the police officers put the cages down and open every one of them. The other police officer walks to the mill and lets Surly, Andie, and Maddie free]

[Surly and Maddie run inside the mill as the animals come to see the nerborn squirrels. Surly gently places Andie on a bed and covers her body with a warm blanket]

Andie: [smiles as she held onto the blanket] Surly, you really scared me.

Surly: [smiles] It’s okay there.

[Andie yells in pain as she pushes the second baby squirrel out one more time. After she’s done, the second newborn baby squirrel is resting with his twin sister as they sleep on Andie’s tummy. Surly and Andie look at the newborn baby twins with warm smiles on their faces]

Surly: She's beautiful. What shall we name her?

Andie: I know, Elisa.

Surly: Nice name. And for our son, hmm, Thaigo. Happy birthday to our sweet babies.

[Surly and Andie look and smile at each other romantically as they give each other a kiss on the lips once more and this time they shed tears of happiness]

Happy ending
Surly: [voice-over] The animals that Emily has are living in the zoo, and they're all happy. We all get to visit anytime we want. The judge was thinking prison is where she will be for the rest of her life.

Emily: No! Please, anything! Anything but that!

Surly: [voice-over] In the same jail that they are in.

Police officer: [Throws Emily in a cell] Get in there, dung breath! [Closes the jail cell door]

Emily: [frustrated] It’s not even my breath!

Surly: [voice-over] HISS and his snakes are in the same zoo with all of the other animals too. And to tell ya, they’re not really happy.

End credits
[Surly and Andie appear and Surly gives their daughter a nut and Surly and Andie watch her use it to play catch with her brother. Surly snuggles with Andie and she tickles his chin. Surly and Andie soon drift off to sleep curling their tails around each other while their children continue to play. After a while, an errant nut accidentally hits Surly in the head, waking him up. Surly gives a quick glance over at their kids as they look back apologetically. He picks up the nut a gobbles it up. He goes back to sleep.]
