Oh, that army.

Mess not with the furrytail clan.

Defenders of the good,

crusaders of the righteous...

...guardians of the pine.

Keep your tree. I'll find another one.

Look! He's got a wee freakish twin

growing out of his back.

Oh, this one will work.

Hey. That was a warning, all right?

Try that again, and I'll be kicking

your furry brown bahookie!

- What?

- Hey, this is a different tree.

They're all my trees.

I suggest you turn round and head

right back from whence you came.

That's what I'm trying to do.

So just point me the way to town...

...and I'll be out of here.

That's it.

You're asking for a whooping.

Ready!

Fire!

Hey, Boog, look. No hands.

I think I'm getting a sunburn,

though.

Check it out.

All right, where's town?

Or what we would call this,

a moon burn.

Look, just give me the directions.

I really need to get back.

So sad.

- Where's Timberline?

- Okay. Okay. All right.

You got it good

in Timberline, right?

Coffee, Woo Hoo bars, safety.

- Yeah, so?

- And still, something is missing.

- There is?

- Yep. Me.

And I want in, Boog.

I'll take you to town...

...but when we get there,

we're partners.

Deal, partner?

What? Oh, no, no, no.

That ain't never

gonna happen. Never.

Don't you have a herd

to get back to?

What--? My herd?

They-- My herd will understand.

These guys are my--

They're my buddies.

- They-- They want the best for me.

- Forget it.

Oh, well.

Better start moving, then.

Because open season starts

in a few days.

Maybe one of those hunters

can give you a ride back...

...on the hood of their truck.

Hunters. Dang.

- Okay, okay.

- So we have a deal, then?

Okay, let me hear you say it.

- Partners?

- You're disgusting.

- What was that?

- I...

- Sorry, can't hear you.

- I said, I guess...

...we can be partners.

Partners?

Partners.

Okey-dokey, this way!

Move it or lose it!

You know, we should have

a secret handshake...

...and like nicknames and stuff.

Like, cool nicknames, though.

I'll call you Boogster...

...and then you can call me

The Incredible Mister E.

Isn't that great?

I came up with that myself.

I made that up. You know,

this is gonna be awesome.

It's just you and me.

Hey, who's the lady in the shorts?

I hope I'm not too late.

They've been out here all night.

A bear...

...and a deer, working together.

How far does this conspiracy go?

What other animals are involved?

God bless America!

I hope the bald eagle hasn't turned.

No, no, no.

Maybe they're right.

Maybe... Maybe old Shaw is crazy.

Yeah, maybe.

Isn't it peaceful out here, Bob?

You're right, Bob. Let's not spoil

the beauty of this moment...

...with idle chatter.

Some people can just jibber-jabber
