RJ

  • Didn't you see it? It was in a box. They always got food with them. We eat to live, these guys live to... eat! Let me show you what I'm talking about. [as he speaks he shows the other animals what humans do] The human mouth is called a "pie hole". The human being is called a "couch potato". [signifies a telephone] That is a device to summon food (called "a phone"). [signifies the doorbell] That is one of the many voices of food (called "a doorbell"). [signifies the front door] That is the portal for the passing of food (called "delivering"). [signifies a motorcycle] That is one of the many food transportation vehicles. Humans bring the food, take the food, ship the food, they drive the food, they wear the food (as costumes)! [signifies the grill] That (grill) gets the food hot! [signifies the cooler] That (cooler) keeps the food cold! [signifies "turtle piñata"... with candy inside it] That... I'm not sure what that is. [kids break the turtle piñata and Verne yells] Well, what do you know? Food (or should I say, candy)! [signifies table where family prays before dinner] That is the altar where they worship food. [signifies advert for Seltzer] That's what they eat when they've too much food. [signifies treadmill] That gets rid of the guilt so they can eat more food! Food (man wearing a drink hat eats a sandwich), food (injured man has a steak on face), food (woman at spa with cucumbers on eyes), food (man pies another man)! (shot of city with food on signs) Food! So, you think they have enough? [everybody nods] Well, they don't. For humans, enough is never enough… and what do they do with the stuff they don't eat? They put it in gleaming, silver cans just for us! [opens the trash cans and knocks them over] Dig in!
  • [pointing to a map of Gladys' backyard] There are traps here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here… here, here, here, here, here… big one here, here… and maybe a few over here.
  • Just take what you need. Just take what you need.
  • Please, I'm just a desperate guy, trying to feed his family.
  • I meant a family of one.
  • Okay! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Look, it's still in the cave. So, technically, not stolen.
  • That was close.
  • Vincent, wait! I can get it all back! That's right! If you eat me, you'd have to do it. But I can get it! All of it!
  • Redder!
  • Blue cooler, on my list! Gotta be blue.
  • So true, painfully true, and I'll tell you what, I'm gonna get you the picnic pack family-fun sized!
  • I'm pretty sure.
  • But that's just one week! That's impossible for one guy! A week's perfect, I'll get some helpers.
  • [Verne is about to eat a diaper] That's a diaper, and that does come out of a wazoo.
  • Verne, I told you to unhook the chain.
  • Oh come on. You haven't even tried doughnuts yet. You wanna store some fat, that is the way to store some fat, you'll be sweating through the winter. [they don't listen] Okay, okay you guys sleep on it. Good idea, I'm gonna check back with you. [to himself] Shoot! Almost had them.
  • Audio, go!
  • Hey, everybody! This way to the food!
  • Verne! Let me in! [Verne presses the mirror button] Wrong button! Wrong button!

Hammy

  • Oh, oh! I can burp my ABC'S! [burping] A, B, C...
  • [in sing-song voice] I got the cookie.
  • Oh... [jumping up] Right!
  • [from sneak preview, burping] ...Y, Z.
  • [hands R.J. a caffeine drink] Here. I'm not supposed to drink this.
  • Read it and weep.
  • Just like Khan in Star Trek II!

Verne

  • That means there's only 274 days left till winter.
  • [repeated line] My tail is tingling!
  • [as he and RJ are about to fall] You're the devil.
  • Hammy, what weird thing? [as he comes to a stop at a long hedge] Oh... that weird thing.
  • Wait a minute, that means there's 267 days left till winter.
  • You know, RJ… uh, just for the record, if you had told us that all that food you were trying to get was to pay back an angry bear, we would've given it to you.

Vincent

  • Yes! And I want my Spuddies! I love those things, cause we're the Spuddie, enough just isn't enough.
  • All right, RJ. I'm going back to sleep. When that moon is full, I'm waking up, and all my stuff had better be right back where it was.
  • Full moon, all my stuff, and don't even think about running away, because if you do, I will hunt you down and kill you. [throws RJ to the snack machine]
  • The moon's not full. You woke me up a week early?
  • My red wagon?
  • The blue cooler.
  • That is the most vicious, deceitful, self-serving thing I've ever seen. Classic RJ. You take the food, and they take the fall.
  • So I was just on my way down here to kill you, but I stopped to watch the show, and I gotta say... [showing R.J Dwayne putting the animals in his truck] that right there is a thing of beauty.
  • [to RJ as he watches the stars and the full moon] Moon's full, RJ. See ya in the morning. [the moon that turned into a Spuddies chip and he ate the chip]

Stella

  • [to Tiger] It... That's just the sound of my heart. Can't you hear it? [imitating THX Deep Note]
  • Oh, so we're supposed to go hungry 'cause your butt's vibratin'?
  • Okay, that's it. I am so sick and tired of everybody taking one look at me and running away because they think I'm filthy! Well, I've got news for you, I didn't get all primped and preened to have some overfed pompous puffball tell me he's too good for me. I got makeup on my butt, dude, and you don't even want to know about the cork!
  • I'm gonna gas you so hard, your grandchildren will stink!

Tiger

  • This face was bred for beauty. I cannot smell a thing.

Police Officers

  • Now you lies of the turbo.

Gladys Sharp

  • Get out of here! Shoo! Shoo! I just mopped this patio! Filthy vermin!
  • Hello, I need every business listening you have under "exterminator."
  • No! Not humanely. As inhumanely as possible.
  • That's the... [Dwayne: The Depelter Turbo. Prepare for a lot of stinging.]
  • [Last words before her defeat] No, it's not my fault, let go of me! [Police Officer: Ma'am...] I can't be arrested! I'm president... [Police Offer: Excuse me...] of the homeowner's association!

Dwayne LoFontant

  • I believe someone phoned about an animal problem? The solution is standing before you. Dwayne LaFontant is here.
  • Prepare for a lot of stinging.
  • She's getting away! [quietly as Gladys is fighting the police] Get her.

Dialogue

Verne: You know, RJ… uh, just for the record, if you had told us that all that food you were trying to get was to pay back an angry bear, we would've given it to you.
RJ: Really?
Verne: Yeah, that's what families do. They look out for each other.
RJ: I never really had anything like that.
Verne: I know, but believe me, this… This is the gateway to the goodlife.
RJ: Really wish you've told me that sooner.
Verne: Well, that's bad communication. Also something families do. So, what do ya say… wanna be part of it?
Tiger: Away with your filth!
Stella: My filth? [The animals gasp] My filth?!
Penny: Oh, jeepers, here we go!
Stella: Okay, that's it! I am so sick and tired of everybody taking one look at me and running away because they think I'm filthy! Well, I've got news for you, I didn't get all primped and preened to have some overfed pompous puffball tell me he's too good for me! I got makeup on my butt, dude, and you don't even want to know about the cork!
Tiger: Stop! No one has ever spoken to me like that. [the animals gasp, then it shows Stella scared] It is bold. I like it.
[RJ And Verne smile at each other]
RJ: [getting out Monopoly game pieces] Now, this is us.
Hammy: Can I be the car?
Bucky: I wanna be the car!
Spike: I'm the car! You be the shoe.
Bucky: Shoe is lame.
Lou: Why don't you be that snazzy lookin' iron there?
RJ: Hey, it's not important! Besides, I'm the car! I'm always the car.
Gladys Sharp: Hello, I need every business listing you have under "exterminator."
Verne: [picks up the blue cooler] You're dangerous! You're insane!
Ozzie: Sweet music, I'm going HOME! [coughs] Goodbye, cruel world! [notices the flowerpot on the sidewalk] OHH! OHH! [whispers] Rosebud. [groans as he spins around, then falls on the ground and passes out]
Skeeter: Now can I poke him?
Debbie: NOOO!
Gladys: You see? This is exactly why I called the exterminator, to kill them before they get hurt like this.

Penny: [referring to the hedge] I'd be a lot less afraid if I just knew what it was called.
Hammy: Let's call it Steve!
Verne: Steve?
Hammy: It's a pretty name.
Heather: Steve sounds nice.
Penny: I'm a lot less scared of Steve.
Ozzie: [kneeling before the hedge] Oh, great and powerful Steve… what do you want?
Verne: I... I don't think it can speak.
Woman: I heard that, young man! [everybody screams, Ozzie faints] You get over here right now!
Verne: He's just trying to help us. Just let him in!
Stella: After what he did to us!?
Verne: But he came back. [Vincent's roar is heard]
Lou: And he brought a bear!
Spike: [while driving the van, the others are arguing] Hey, no fighting while we're driving!
Quillo: We will turn this van around, mister! [the scene shows lou and verne in shock]
Lou: [points at Verne] He started it.
TV Announcer: We now return to "A scoundrel among us".
Woman: You should be ashamed of yourself! We let you into our family, and you fecived us!
[RJ changes the channel]
Man: I gave you my heart, and then I ripped it into 1,000,000 pieces!
[RJ changes the channel again]
Dr. Dennis: Get real, Kevin. 'Cause when you feel like a dirtbag, it's because you're a dirtbag, right? So just say it out loud, "I am a dirtbag."
Lou: "Dirtbag"? I don't think that guy's a real doctor. What Do You Think There, RJ? [notices RJ has gone] RJ?
Hammy: Wanna help me find my nuts?
RJ: Very tempting, Hammy. Very tempting, but first, I wanna show you... this! [shows Hammy a cookie] You like this cookie?
Hammy: Oh, ho, ho!
RJ: Well, this cookie's junk! [throws the cookie out]
Hammy: [mournfully] But I like a cookie.
RJ: Easy, easy, don't worry. I know where to find cookies so great, they'll hand delivered by personal owners.
Vincent: Wow.
RJ: Vincent?
Vincent: So, I was just on my way down here to kill you, but I stopped to watch the show and I gotta say... that right there is a thing of beauty. That is the most vicious, deceitful, self-serving thing I've ever seen. [chuckles] Classic, RJ. You take the food and they take the fall. You keep this up, you're gonna end up just like me - having everything you ever wanted.
RJ: But I already had that.
Vincent: What… them? Who are you kidding? You said it yourself, you're a family of one. Always will be. It's how guys like you and me survive. So, a few saps got hurt in the process. Tough, that's life. Trust me, you don't need them. (Do ya?)
RJ: Actually… I do... and right now… they really need me… so I really need this! [takes the wagon with all the food]
Vincent: [enraged] RJ!!
RJ: Now listen up. What we're going for here is a vicious, man-eating rabid squirrel. Can you handle that?
Hammy: [raises hand] Umm, excuse me.
RJ: Yes... Hammy?
Hammy: Rabbits aren't vicious, they're all cute and cuddly, so...
RJ: "Rabid", not "rabbit".
Hammy: Oohhh... [confused] What?
RJ: Didn't you see it? It was in a box. They always got food with them. We eat to live, these guys live to... eat! Let me show you what I'm talking about. [as he speaks he shows the other animals what humans do] The human mouth is called a "pie hole". The human being is called a "couch potato". [signifies a telephone] That is a device to summon food (called "a phone"). [signifies the doorbell] That is one of the many voices of food (called "a doorbell"). [signifies the front door] That is the portal for the passing of food (called "delivering"). [signifies a motorcycle] That is one of the many food transportation vehicles.

[signifies the cooler] That (cooler) keeps the food cold! [signifies "turtle piñata"... with candy inside it] That... I'm not sure what that is.

They put it in gleaming, silver cans just for us! [opens the trash cans and knocks them over]
Penny: Sweet Jeepers.
RJ: Dig in! [The animals laugh and cheer while running into the garbage] Hmm? Good, ain't it?
Bucky: What's he gonna do to us, Mama?
Penny: I... I don't know, baby.
Heather: [clutches her arms around Ozzie while locked in a cage, about to be driven off for extermination] I don't wanna die, Dad. Not for real.
Ozzie: There, there, sweetheart. We'll be okay. [Stella, from her cage holds Hammy's hand, who is in his own cage, scared.]
Lou: [to Verne referring to RJ] You were right about him, Verne. We should've listened. Sorry back there.
Verne: No… I knew we wouldn't trust him, and I got us into this. I should have known better.
[the animals, except Verne, shows RJ a surprise; his new home]
Stella: Check it out. [RJ looks around at some random objects of his new home] Your new home!
Hammy: [gestures at the baby car seat] And look, we got a place for you right here!
RJ: That's for me?
Lou: Yeah, is this anything like what you had, RJ?
RJ: This isn't anything like what I had, Lou.
Hammy: [hands RJ a can of caffeine] Here, I'm not supposed to drink this.
RJ: Thanks. [to Heather, who sits on RJ's bag] Is that my bag?
Heather: Yeah, we brought it in here so you wouldn't have to sleep in that old tree.
RJ: Really? Wow.
Bucky: Hey, RJ, check this out! We totally hooked up the TV.
Quillo: I hot-wired the HD converter.
Spike: We get like 1,000 channels!
Heather: Here can you take the remote before my dad does?
RJ: Wow. A universal remote? This is nice, guys. Really nice.
Gladys: Why... Why, That's the--
Dwayne: The Depelter Turbo. Prepare for a lot of stinging.
RJ: ...And there they are. America's most coveted cookies. Love Handles, Skinny Mints, Neener-Neeners and Smackeroons. And guess what. They're all yours! [Hammy jumps, but RJ stops him] Whoa, Hamilton. Hold on there, fella. I love your energy, but you just can't take them.
Hammy: But you just said they're mine!
RJ: They will be IF we successfully marry your manic energy to my brilliant plan. You with me, kid?
Hammy: I-I... I-I-I-I... I-I-I-I-I-I–
RJ: The 'ayes' have it. Let's ride.
[During the credits, When "Rocking the Suburbs" plays in the background]
RJ: That, my friends, is the object of all human attention and devotion, and they call it... a TV.
Quillo: Wicked cool!
Lou: Humans feel an inner need to connect with the world around them. That is super-duper.
RJ: They also feel a need to sit on their fat butts, Watching TV fulfills both needs at the same time.
Stella: Wow. Interesting.
Penny: Come on, kids! Family time there, in front of the TV! Got your snack food?
Hammy: Buy a vowel! BUY A VOWEL! Buy a "Y", Please buy a "Y"!
RJ: I can't find the remote.
Lou: Hey, Spikey, Race Ya!
Ozzie: Has anybody seen the remote?
Heather: Dad, chill.
Stella: I could do a little TV. Today's the day we find out if the baby is gifted or if Saxon is really an alien.
Hammy: Just Like Khan in Star Trek II! The Genesis Project was in the hands of the Enterprise, but Khan had his plan to steal the invention and redo all the life!
Verne: Well, that was specific.
Hammy: I saw it on TNT, a retrospective.
Heather: Gummy Worm, anybody?
RJ: Let me have one.
Stella: Bucky, pass this to Lou.
Lou: Taste this.
RJ: Don't you take that.
Verne: This is the perfect food.
RJ: Fat-free cookies? Might as well just be eating dirt.
Hammy: I've had dirt, I don't like dirt, it tastes like dirt!
Heather: Shh! The Show is starting!
[The last part of "Rocking the Suburbs" by Ben Folds continues on the credits]
[Last lines, after the end credits, RJ is fixing the vending machine]
RJ: Wait! Hang on a minute. [All the chip bags fall down and everyone laughs and cheers] Yes, here we go! [As he tries to get all the chips out, the lid is stuck, and the machine doesn't budge]
Hammy: Kinda anticlimactic.
RJ: Shoot!
