- I beg your pardon?

- What's that mean?

That means I didn't understand

what you just said.

- A wet-sandwich?

- Yeah, a wet-sandwich.

He's too short.

He dresses like a girl. He's...

...different.

Are you a bully?

You're starting to sound like a bully.

Watch this.

You've just destroyed

the whole experiment.

We'd better extinguish this magnesium.

Stand back.

Wow!

I like your ears.

- Mine?

- Thank you! I like your spots!

- Really?

I used to cover them up.

But, you know...

You're supposed to be my lab partner.

- I am!

- No, you're not.

You're disloyal.

A few beagles, as we discussed,

but we're ready for that.

Yeah, but back in the old days,

didn't they used to do a thing

where if somebody saw a wolf, and...

Wolf? What wolf?

Oh, nothing? Never mind.

Here comes the low stone wall.

Not a problem.

What the cuss?

Where'd this giant fence come from?

- We had a master plan!

- What's this lightning bolt?

That could mean maybe this fence

might be electric.

Well, I just hope it doesn't mean thunder.

Because I have a phobia of that.

Watch this.

Beagles love blueberries!

Didn't I tell you?

The master plan's working again!

Now! This is the tricky part.

One of us got to jump

that barbed-wire,

...slide under the tire-spikes,

and flip open the fence-latch.

- Who's it gonna be?

- Not me.

You know who could do this part

easily is Kristofferson.

That kid's like a professional,

Olympic-level...

Why don't we go around that way?

There's no obstacles.

Yeah. That's better.

- I said one bite!

- I'm trying!

I have a different kind of teeth

from you! I'm an opossum!

Give me that.

That's so grisly!

There's blood and everything!

Follow me.

Hey, what's the master escape plan?

Follow me again!

Quick!

Give me that.

Alright. Let's hit the five

and dime on the way home!

We need to make some fake price tags

and wrap these chickens in wax-paper

...so it looks like we got them

at the butcher shop!

Where'd you get this chicken?

I picked it up at the Five-and-Dime

last night on my way back...

It's got a Boggis Farms tag

around its ankle.

Must've escaped from there

before I bought it.

It's Bunce tonight! He's got a

refrigerated smokehouse with

- a hundred geese...

- Woah! Woah!

I thought you said we were only

doing one last big job.

We are, but it's... not done yet.

It's a triple-header.

Let see some hustle!

Coach, we don't have whack-bat

where I'm from. What're the rules?

There's no whack-bat

on the other side of the river!?

No, we mostly just run grass sprints

or play acorns.

Well, it's real simple:

basically, there's three grabbers,

three taggers, five twig-runners,

...and the player at whack-bat.

Roald Dahl

Roald Dahl (English: , Norwegian: [ˈruːɑl ˈdɑːl]; 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990) was a British novelist, short story writer, poet, screenwriter, and fighter pilot. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide.Born in Wales to Norwegian immigrant parents, Dahl served in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. He became a flying ace and intelligence officer, rising to the rank of acting wing commander. He rose to prominence as a writer in the 1940s with works for both children and adults, and he became one of the world's best-selling authors. He has been referred to as "one of the greatest storytellers for children of the 20th century". His awards for contribution to literature include the 1983 World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement, and the British Book Awards' Children's Author of the Year in 1990. In 2008, The Times placed Dahl 16th on its list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".Dahl's short stories are known for their unexpected endings, and his children's books for their unsentimental, macabre, often darkly comic mood, featuring villainous adult enemies of the child characters. His books champion the kindhearted, and feature an underlying warm sentiment. Dahl's works for children include James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches, Fantastic Mr Fox, The BFG, The Twits and George's Marvellous Medicine. His adult works include Tales of the Unexpected. more…
