Dialogue

[An old film reel shows Surly]
Surly: [first lines; voiceover] You might think life is easy for a cute little squirrel with a fluffy tail, but it isn't. When kids see you in the park, they go "Aww!"
[Three kids appear going "Aww!", startling Surly. One of them gives him a nut]
Surly: If you're lucky, they give you nuts. If you're unlucky, they are nuts.
[One of the kids goes crazy. Surly screams as the kid chases him]
Surly: Being a little guy means everything is out to get you, like bikes,
[A bike hits Surly, rolling him on its front wheel]
Surly: cars,
[Surly ducks under three cars as they narrowly miss him. Later, he has his foot stuck in gum]
Surly: and even gum.
[He struggles to get free, but trips over, still stuck in it]
Surly: But things got a whole lot better last summer when the Nut Shop went outta business, and left a lifetime supply of food in the basement. For once, the little guy at the bottom of the food chain came out on the top.
[After the Nut Shop exploded, Surly looks at Mole]
Surly: Mole, you had 1 job.
Mole: And what was that again?
Surly: Shut off the boiler so it doesn't explode!
Mole: It's not my fault. I told Jimmy to do it.
Jimmy: I told Johnny to do it.
Johnny: I told Jamie to do it.
Jamie: And I told Mole to do it.
Mole: Oh, right. It is my fault.
[Surly does a face-palm]
[The Mayor's limousine pulls up to a Press conference at Liberty Park. The Mayor exits the limo and walks past the Press]
Mayor: Ladies and gentlemen of the Press, welcome to Liberty Park. I think we can all agree this boring old park needs a shot in the arm. Behold!
[He removes the red sheet revealing a poster for an amusement park called LibertyLand]
Mayor: LibertyLand! The greatest place on Earth!
[The Press takes photos]
Mayor: Who wants a regular park, when you can have an amusement park? It's more fun, more rides, more games. [to his deputy; quietly] And more profit.
[The deputy laughs]
Mayor: LibertyLand is my greatest creation!
Female voice: You told me I was your greatest creation!
[The Mayor's daughter, Heather, and her dog, Frankie, appear behind the Press who both glare at the Mayor]
Mayor: No, no. Of course you are, sweetheart. Uh, Libertyland is my second greatest creation.
[Heather and Frankie walk up to the poster]
Heather: No, no, no. This is all wrong. I want the tilt-a-wheel here, bumper cars here, and cotton candy here, here, here, here, here, and HERE!
Mayor: That's a lot of cotton candy now, Snookums. We don't want your teeth to fall out.
Heather: But I want it!
[She screams so loud it makes the birds fly away]
Mayor: OK, she wants her teeth to fall out, let's do it. Can we get some more cotton candy, please?
Deputy: Yes, sir.
Mayor: Now!
[Surly, Andie and Buddy, appearing from some rocks have witnessed everything]
Andie: This doesn't look good.
Surly: [sarcastically] Why don't you sing a song about it?
[Andie glares at him]
Female Reporter: Mr. Mayor, over here. Mr. Mayor. Mr Mayor, what's going to happen the animals in the park?
Mayor: Ah. Nobody care about these animals. [chuckles]
[The press gasp, shocked at what he said]
Mayor: Nobody care more than me. But don't you worry I will take care of 'em. I will make sure they're all take care of. And without further ado…
[He presses a button on his cane which makes a Shovel appear]
Mayor: let the ground-breaking begin.
[Muldoon and Heather pose for their photos to be taken by the Press]
Andie: Look at that sign. They're going to destroy the park!
[From the distance nearby, Redline jumps out of a bush]
Redline: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Surly: Calm down. It’s a fat guy with a tiny shovel. How much damage can he do?
[A massive Excavator appears out of nowhere and digs up the ground next to him]
Surly: Oh, I get it. Tiny shovel was a symbolic gesture.
[The Excavator begins to dig the ground where Andie, Buddy and the others are standing]
Andie: Oh no! Run!
[Andie and the animals quickly evacuate as the Excavator digs the ground. The Mayor returns to his Limo]
Mayor Muldoon: Well. my work here is done. [to Heather as his deputy closes the door] You see, sweetheart. I make the speech, they do the work. [chuckles]
Deputy: Whew
[Heather appears out nowhere, pressing her tongue against the window, scaring him. As the Mayor drives away, a blue truck enters Liberty Park]
[Andie wakes up in her cage, after being knocked out]
Male: Andie.
Female: She's awake.
Andie: Mmm. Is everyone here?
Jamie: [sighs] Everyone but Surly.
Mole: What happened to Surly?
Precious: He's probably got those animal control creeps right where he wants 'em.
[An Animal Control Guy climbs into the van and slams the door]
Animal Control Guy: [to the animals while banging on the wall] You're not gonna like where you're goin'.
[He starts the engine and laughs cruelly as he drives away, taking the animals to be exterminated]
Andie: What's going on? Where are they taking us?
Redline: [depressed] We're all gonna die. Definetly gonna die.
[The Animal Control Guy continues driving until he comes across Surly in the road]
Surly: Stop!
Animal Control Guy: Hello, road kill.
[He pushes the gas petal to make it go faster towards Surly while laughing]
Surly: Now!
[Mr. Feng and his Mouse Henchmen charge from an Alley]
Mr. Feng: CHARGE!!!
[Mr. Feng and the mice hit the van, causing it to tip over and freeing Andie and the animals from their cages]
Andie: Surly?
Surly: Before you get mad, just remember, you're the one who wanted a crazy plan. I'd like you to meet my new friend Mr. Feng.
Mole: Oh, he's so cute.
[He punches him away and he lands on the Bruisers]
Surly: That reminds me, don't call him cute.
Andie: How did you convince a gang of city mice to come help us?
Mr. Feng: We are not city mice. We are just mice.
Surly: A long time ago, Mr. Feng and his friends were chased out of their homes, too.
Mr. Feng: Nobody was there to stand up for us, and we lost everything. But Surly is right. We are all animals and we are in this together.
Surly: Individually, we might be tiny, be together we're giants.
Mouse Henchmen: [Snarling]
Mr. Feng: FOR THE PARK!
Surly: For the park!
Animals: FOR THE PARK!!!
[After Mr. Feng and his henchmen attacked him, the Mayor faces Sarge]
Sarge: Mr. Mayor, you're coming with me.
[Sarge holds a pair of handcuffs. The Mayor groans with despair. Later, two officers wheel a cart of donuts away as one of them holds a donut in his hand. Sarge takes the Mayor to a police car]
Police Officer: Sarge, we're gonna take this into evidence. Code 7.
Sarge: Copy that, rookie.
Mayor: Get your hands offa me! Do you know who I am?
Sarge: You, sir, are going to jail for a long time!
[Sarge shuts the Mayor into the car]
Mayor: [last words] Help! I can't go to jail, I'm rich!
[An officer holds Heather]
Heather: Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am?
[The officer puts her into another police car where Gunther is in too]
Heather: [last words] You! You shot me with a dart!
Gunther: Please, please, let me explain!
[Yelling with anger, Heather attacks him]
Gunther: [last words] Help! Help! Somebody call the police! Her tiny teeth are so sharp! Ow! Ow.
[As the car drives off, Sarge walks over]
Sarge: This amusement park is closed.
[He motions for one of the officers to turn off the lights and walks off]
