Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods
so he knew every tree
Kilt him a bar
when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett,
king of the wild frontier!
Fought single-handed
through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped
and peace was in store
And while he was handling...
What'd the doctor say?
- Nothing.
Supposedly, it's just a
twenty-four hour bug.
He gave me some pills.
I told you. You probably
just ate some bad gristle.
We take the short cut
or the scenic route?
Let's take the short cut.
But the scenic route is so much prettier.
- Okay, let's take the scenic route.
- Great.
It's actually slightly quicker,
anyway.
Thank you.
- What is a squab?
- You know what a squab is.
It's like a pigeon, I suppose.
Should we go through the hole
under the horse fence...
...or climb the rail over the
bridle path?
would be a little safer.
But the bridle path puts us out right
next to the squab shack.
Okay.
What's wrong?
You're acting all skittish.
Don't worry. I've been stealing birds
for a living since...
...before I could trot.
By the way, you look
unbelievably beautiful tonight.
You're practically glowing.
Maybe it's the lighting.
I've been in this town so long
that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time
Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the spanish and indian home
Home of the heroes and villains
Once at night
catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain
of the bullets
that eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dudell do in a town
full of heroes and villains
What's that?
- What?
I think it's a fox-trap!
- Look at this.
- No, get away from there.
Is it spring-loaded?
Yeah... yeah, I guess
if you come from over there,
...and you're standing at this door
to the squab shack,
...this little gadget probably
triggers the...
- What!?
- Move out of the way, darling.
- That's right where it's going to land.
- Stop it! Let's go!
No, it just falls straight right down...
- I guess it's not spring-loaded.
- I'm pregnant.
Wow!
We're gonna have a cub.
- Honey, that's great news.
- If we're still alive tomorrow...
If we're still alive tomorrow morning,
...I want you to find
another line of work.
Okay.
My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy weathy and wise
Does anybody actually read my column?
- Do your friends ever talk about it?
- Of course.
In fact, Rabbit's ex-girlfriend
just said to me last week,
"I should read Foxy's column,"
but they don't get the Gazette.
- Ash! Let's get cracking!
- Why would they? It's a rag-sheet.
- I'm sick.
- You're not sick.
- I have a temperature.
- You don't have a temperature.
- I don't want to go.
- Hurry up. You're going to be late.
I love the way you handled that.
Your cousin Kristofferson's coming
on the sixth.
I want you to be extra nice to him
...because he's going through a very
hard time right now.
Where's he gonna sleep?
We're gonna make a bed for him
in your room.
I can't spare the space.
Put him in Dad's study.
Dad's study is occupied by Dad.
I don't want to live in a hole anymore.
It makes me feel poor.
We are poor...
but we're happy.
Comme-ci, comme-ca.
Anyway, the views are better
above ground.
Honey, I'm seven non-fox-years old now.
My father died at seven and a half.
I don't want to live in a hole anymore,
...and I'm going to do
something about it.
Well, I'm off.
Have a good day, my darlings!
You know, Foxes live in holes
for a reason.
Hm, yes, I know.
What're you wearing?
Why a cape with the
pants tucked into your socks?
I guess he's just...
...different.
Oh, hey, Mr. Fox.
Yes. Here it is.
This is the tree.
Come on over. This is...
Uh, I'm gonna call you back.
Obviously, it's first growth,
indigenous.
Original dirt floor, good bark,
skipping stone hearth... as you can see.
Kylie?
Kylie! What'd I tell you?
I'm showing the property.
- You're not supposed to be here.
- Oh, what time is it? I'm sorry.
This is Kylie. He's the super.
He's a little...
What's in the bucket, Mr. Kylie?
Kylie? Kylie!
- Just minnows. Try one?
- Certainly. Thank you.
It's not exactly an evergreen, is it?
Aren't there any pines on the market
this side of the river?
But, pines are pretty hard to come by
in your price range.
What? What?
What's that?
May I ask what you do
for a living, Mr. Fox?
I used to steal birds,
but now I'm a newspaper man.
Oh, sure. I've seen your by-line.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- You're going? You're...
- Oh, and Kylie...
Thank you for the minnow.
It was superb.
Don't buy this tree, Foxy.
You're borrowing at nine and a half
with no fixed rate,
plus moving into the most
dangerous neighborhood in the country
...for someone of your type of species.
You're exaggerating, Badger.
I'm sugar-coating it, man!
This is Boggis, Bunce, and Bean!
Three of the meanest, nastiest, ugliest
farmers in the history of this valley!
Really? Tell me about them.
Alright.
Walt Boggis is a chicken farmer.
Probably the most successful in the world.
He weighs the same
as a young rhinoceros.
He eats three chickens every day for
breakfast, lunch, supper, and dessert.
