Over the Hedge (Video Game)


 * Verne: Maybe going inside a human's house wasn't such a good idea.
 * Hammy: I wanna eat! I want foooooooooood!!!
 * RJ: Food is what you'll get, Hamster. Enough food to fill a bear cave... Hopefully. Okay, everyone, pay attention.
 * Hammy: Ooh! Look at the light!
 * RJ: We need to get through the next three yards. Everyone knows your roles, right?
 * Ozzie: Heather and I run along the front of the houses, and come in through the basement window. At the first sign of trouble, we...
 * Heather: We resist the urge to faint. So we can warn everyone. Right?
 * Ozzie: Oh. Right.
 * Verne: Lou, Penny, you'll meet us at the house?
 * Lou: Just me. Penny will stay home with the little ones.
 * Penny: Oh Jeepers! I don't want you by yourself in that human house there.
 * Lou: But...
 * Penny: We do this together.
 * RJ: Hamilton?
 * Hammy: Where'd it go? Huh?
 * RJ: You and Stella meet us at the hole in the fence in the third yard, right?
 * Hammy: Right! Third yard! Yep! Three comes after six, right?
 * Verne: Stella?
 * Stella: Help Manny count to three. Got it.
 * RJ: And Verne and I will navigate the three yards full of the most devious human traps imaginable, sticking to the shadows like creatures of the night, sneaking incredible dangers, and...
 * Verne: Sometime before the sun comes up would be good.
 * RJ: Right. Everyone ready?
 * Verne: Good luck everyone. And be careful! Wow. I have to say, this doesn't look so bad.
 * RJ: Great. Let's move out. I wouldn't do that if I were you.
 * Verne: What, breathe?
 * RJ: That, too. But I meant stepping into the light. Looks like some kind amphibian.
 * Verne: Wouldn't a turtle be less cliche?
 * RJ: Let's fond our selves a frog then. How hard could it be? Aww, look, we've been expected! Who's up for a snack?
 * Verne: Um...them, I predict.
 * Rat: What gives, chief? Who died and made you king of the picnic tables?
 * RJ: Poultry alert, fan out!
 * Rufus: Whoa there. Think you're just waltzing through this gate like a couple gate-waltzers? You both have a lot to learn about birds. Don't you? Don't you?
 * RJ: You don't want a piece of me, tweetie. Seriously.
 * Verne: You wouldn't want to see my friend here bluster and fume, would you?
 * Rufus: Look, people, I don't make the rules. You want into the next yard, you need my help. Sorry, guys. City ordinance. We're all slaves to bureaucracy, that's what separates us from the humans.
 * Verne: Uh, yeah. Very thought-provoking, thank you. What do we have to do get the past?
 * Rufus: I got the key for the gate hidden in one of those objects. Break'em until you find it.
 * RJ: Oh, we get to break stuff? Why didn't you say so? Verne! Freeze!
 * Verne: All this fuss over us? I just don't get human piorities.
 * RJ: It's the Sniffer. The cranky one pay him to "deal" with us. Although not that well, based on the quality of these traps designs. What's he think we are, insects? Now come on. And stay low. Ready, Stella?
 * Stella: Yeah, but this better be one stupid cat.
 * Verne: Boy, this kinda make me want to get a log with a higher roof. And carpet.
 * RJ: Amen. Now let's disable the traps so we can admire all this without that whole fear of death thing. Ah, just what the disarmament doctor ordered.
 * Verne: I'm getting dizzy just looking at this thing.
 * RJ: I'll handle this. Hammy?
 * Hammy: Where's my cookie? You just said cookie, right? Either way, where is it?
 * RJ: There's plenty of cookies in it for you, Hammy. All you have to do's just follow the bouncing light and push the buttons, and cookies will rain down from the heavens like-
 * Hammy: Birthday cakes?
 * RJ: Wedding cakes. But only if you hop to it.
 * Heather: Guys? We only have a few minutes until the humans wake up. So whatever we're doing, can we do it a few minutes faster?
 * RJ: Heather's right. Penny and Lou, you take the front door. Hammy and Stella, you've got the hallway. Verne, me and you'll cover the kitchen.
 * Gladys: Where's is that ridiculous exterminator NOW?
 * Dwayne: Buenos dias, reptile. Or should I say, buenos noches.
 * RJ: Ummph... Almost there...
 * Vicnent: What the...
 * RJ: Oh. Good. There you are.
 * Vincent: I was just on my way to kill you. Well, well. I'm impressed. You really outdid yourself this time. Keep this up, and you're going to to be just like me. Take what you need, and who cares about anyone else.
 * RJ: I guess when you put it like that...
 * Hammy: Whee! That was fun! Go tell our driver to do it again!
 * Stella: Don't just stand there- help me bust everybody outta these things. Then just stand there. And don't touch nothin'. I'm headin' up front for a little recon. Hang on!
 * Gladys: Thank heavens I won't have to set eyes or foot of any more of those horrid creatures ever again. YOU!!!
 * Dwayne: THEM!!!!
 * Hammy: US!!!!
 * RJ: Hedge. Now. Run, run!
 * Heather: Come on, hurry!
 * RJ: And once again, we're home sweet...
 * Verne: Dead.
 * Hammy: Cattle prod at three o'clock! This is not a drill!
 * Verne: Doesn't this human ever give up? Lemme rephrase that. I give up.
 * Hammy: C'mon, Verne! Are you a turtle or a mouse?
 * Vincent: Well, well. Look what the hedge dragged in.
 * Hammy: Hi, Hey, you're not still mad about losing all your food, are ya? You sure looked mad chasing us back there!
 * Verne: Hey, wait, Vincent, I can explain... Better yet... No choice. Run for it!
 * Hammy: We didn't do it! Die, I mean.
 * Verne: Now's that that's not a cheery headline, but where'd RJ skip off to now? Drink, Hammy! Drink! Go! Hammy, why won't you go?
 * Hammy: Already been.
 * Dwayne: Hmm... Rewiring the conductor frame to the propane tanks might've made all the difference.
 * Gladys: You're fired.
 * Verne: What you did back there... That was really brave... And stupid. I can't exactly say I was wrong about you, RJ, but thanks for making me a little.
 * RJ: I'm just glad everything turned out. And don't worry, next time'll be way easier. I got all figured out.
 * Verne: Next time?
 * (One Year Later...)
 * RJ: Pretty sweet take this time, Verne. I know it was touch and go for a while but today's haul puts us over the edge.
 * Verne: RJ, I know we got off to a rocky start but, I guess meeting you was a real stroke of luck after all.
 * Hammy: Somebody needs to clean up around here.
 * Stella: The food...
 * Heather: Our television! It's broken!
 * Verne: Who would steal our food? Maybe the rats...
 * Stella: Um, this fo' sho' wasn't rats. Now what?
 * Hammy: Wait, wait, sorry, I zoned out. Define, "The television's broken."
 * Stella: I love what they've done with the place.
 * Hammy: Steal and concrete... Humans! Hey it's that nice man who gives animals hats.
 * Stella: Mind-controllin' rats? This dude has way too much time on his hands.
 * Hammy: Do they come in purple?
 * Stella: Anyone else hearin' that?
 * Rat King: Animals... come out and play...
 * Hammy: I think the car is trying to tell us something!
 * Stella: Terrific, a giant rat. For a minute there I was worried.
 * Rat King: --and that was the twelfth time I caught rabies. Huh? What the heck... Where am I? Where's my date?
 * Stella: Let that be a lesson to ya'll: hope we show up. Shadows are a skunk's best friend. No offense.
 * Hammy: If the lights see us, we'll get caught. Either way we win!
 * Stella: Why the long face, girl?
 * Penny: Aw jeepers, it's the little ones. They ran off to go look for the television, then I saw that human... the Sniffer! Oh, I knew I shoulda said the TV was a figment of their imagination all along... Oh gosh, I'm a terrible mother...
 * Hammy: It's gonna be okay, Penny. I'm sure the TV's fine. Whatcha up to?
 * Stella: Takin' a detour.
 * Ozzie: Heather was just-
 * Stella: Ozzie, hang on!
 * Ozzie: Don't worry, people, it's all part of the act, I'm fine.
 * Stella: Wouldn't've minded a little help.
 * Ozzie: My performance was distraction. For a minute there, it even distracted me.
 * Hammy: Yeah, me too! And I'm a tough room!
 * Ozzie: Heather went this way. Follow me!
 * Heather: Jeez, what kept you guys? The TV's in a house near the end of the street. I'll meet you there.
 * Stella: Somethin' tells me this ain't gonna be a walk in a park.
 * Hammy: Humans sure know how to make stuff sparkly.
 * Heather: You made it! Awesome! Over here! Come on, hurry, the door is right over... Uh... we come in peace? I'm warning you, don't come any closer or I'll...
 * Stella: Y'all rats just made two mistakes: attacking my homegirl, and not apologizing.
 * Heather: Thanks. Sorry I wasn't more help.
 * Ozzie: Heather! What were you thinking?
 * Heather: What? I thought you'd be proud.
 * Ozzie: Honey, you know you're not ready for the big leagues, yet. You've barley even mastered feigning unconscious!
 * Heather: Dad. Get real. I'm better and you can't handle it, just like Mom always said.
 * Ozzie: We'll discuss this at the log, young lady.
 * Stella: Hey, how 'bout talkin' about finding a TV around here someplace? Uh, nice use of feng shui, but I don't see our TV set.
 * Heather: This is what the humans call a film projector. It makes stuff look way huger than it really is, but by using optical science instead of marketing. Pick it up and carry it outside, I'll show you We're all meeting at the end of the street. See you there!
 * Ozzie: All this just for a little box? Was it worth it?
 * Heather: Dad...
 * Ozzie: The danger, the risk, the travel time...
 * Heather: Dad...
 * Ozzie: Don't interrupted me, young lady. All of us could've been captured, bored... or worse.
 * Heather: Dad, it shows football. Real big. Like as a tree.
 * Ozzie: That has no bearing on... Um, we walking sycamore or sequoia?
 * Stella: Can we hold off on the botany debates till after we get it home?
 * Verne: Hey, that sounds just like... Hey! Get your reptile! Over here~
 * RJ: No! Verne's just a patsy! It's me you want!
 * Verne: Yeah! Go after him!
 * Dwayne: Whoooaa!
 * RJ: See? We drove him off.
 * Stella: He's coming back.
 * RJ: And that's our cue to get this show on the road.
 * Verne: All right, gather round. This is us, here. This here is me, and this line here represents the stick I'm holding.
 * RJ: Verne. If I may... Little thing called the twenty-first century. Look it up sometime, pops.
 * Verne: Reptile.
 * RJ: I can't help that. Now then... Viola! That's French for "our goal the Martin residence." Now the good news is, there's no catch at all this time. Bad news is, there is no one catch actually: we have to avoid the streets at all costs
 * Verne: Um, excuse me, monsieur, but we were just in the streets. Last night. Remember?
 * RJ: I do remember, Verne. I'm sure we all do. Thus the new "street avoidance" part of the plan. Now let's focus. We'll come from the hedge here and creep unsuspectingly down over into this yard. Find a way past the Gate hereabouts... And out toward the street through that lion gate.
 * Verne: Um, didn't you just say going in the street was what we DIDN'T want?
 * RJ: Verne where's it say you can't avoid something by going toward and crossing it?
 * Verne: The dictionary?
 * RJ: Never heard of night. Then we head through these two yards, maybe a ride to our destination.
 * Manny: Hop a ride? What ride? I wanna ride!
 * RJ: Shh! Don't spoil the surprise, Hamilton. Even I don't know what I'm talking about. We all set? Let's hit the road!
 * Hammy: Wow! Lasers! These are the best five seconds ever.
 * Ozzie: Not just lasers. Brain tee-ay-zers. We need to find a way to open this gate. Perhaps this inscribed frog here is a cunningly clue. Merely work your way past the deadly laser grid in the next yard and disarm the traps so the rest of us can join you. Good luck and, above all, don't die!
 * Hammy: Mother is the necessity of invention.
 * Stella: Looks like we got company. And not the fun kind.
 * Hammy: You know what THIS means.
 * Stella: Tell me you're not thinkin' what I think you're thinkin' about.
 * Hammy: Yay! Moisture! This doesn't look like the right way.
 * Lou: We gotcha little surprise up there on the roof in that small building then. Real humdinger too, I'd wager both my jeepers on it, yah. Get yourself some fuel, and you're all set then.
 * Hammy: Say no more! I wanna be surprised!
 * Lou: Spike, put your brother down right now! Sorry, gotta go. Kids!
 * Rufus: Right, right. You wanna know what I got for you. In the end, they all come to the bluejay. Get this thing to the loot circle after this place is a bit more gopher-free, wouldja? I got whatcha might call hollow bones.
 * RJ: Woo-hoo! This is the only way to fly!
 * Verne: I'm no raccoon but isn't this thing a little loud in the element of surprise department?
 * RJ: Verne, Verne... It's our landing that's gotta be covert.
 * Verne: Nice landing.
 * Hammy: I like the lasers, but I think I'd move the couch over there a little.
 * Stella: Humans are like school on Sunday: No class.
 * Hammy: I guess when you think about it, in a way, we're ALL lasers, huh? Ta-da!
 * Verne: Way to go, Hammy!
 * Ozzie: The humans, they'll be home any minute! Must broadcast the evacuation order. Speakerphone... where is the speakerphone? How do you--
 * Heather: Move it!
 * Ozzie: That'll work. I'll drop the food. You catch it and toss it in the wagon before we run out of time.
 * Hammy: Ozzie!!!! Don't fall!!!
 * Verne: N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o...
 * Hammy: Awww, they come in peace. Hi, guys!
 * Verne: Plan?
 * RJ: Run.
 * Stella: Yep. Good plan.
 * Hammy: Pull, Ozzie! Yah, mule!
 * Ozzie: Look outs for what?
 * Hammy: Fun!
 * Verne: Look out! So, just so recap, the guy in the van who hates animals ISN'T on our side.
 * Ozzie: Augh! It's him! The Sniffer!
 * RJ: Ozzie, he can't see us! He'd have to have eyes like a...
 * Verne: ...set of high-powered binoculars with isometric infralenses. Ozzie, look out!
 * Dwayne: Hasta la vista, vermin. Expect me when you least expect me and not one second later, or I'll work for half off and not one dollar more!
 * Hammy: He's right. What do we do?
 * Stella: Maybe that's our cue to bug outta here while the buggin's good.
 * Ozzie: Psst! Over here!
 * Hammy: Ozzie crossed the street in an eyeblink! I should blink more often, huh?
 * Stella: I guess the important thing: Who cares?
 * Woman: Well now, that's not how many times in a row your teacher said you tripped and fell into the classroom aquarium. Oh, Jimmy, you have to learn to pay attention in class. You won't get anywhere in life if you can't learn to pay attention and look out-- (Shrieks)
 * Hammy: Ozzie?! If you're okay, don't say a word!
 * Ozzie: Over here!
 * Stella: Let's make tracks! Preferably outta squashed rats!
 * RJ: Ah, I love the smell of victory in the morning. Smells like...
 * Hammy: Cheese puffs?
 * RJ: Yeah.
 * Verne: Not to burst everybody's bubble...
 * RJ: You?
 * Verne: ...but does barely getting away with our lives count as a "victory"?
 * RJ: Hey... getting away with a wagon-load of cheese puffs? Where I come from, that's a TKO.
