RJ : Please don't think I'm prying, but I couldn't help overhearing, and I think I can shed a little light on what this whole hedge situation is about. You see, what was once mere wilderness is now 54 acres of man-made, manicured, air-conditioned paradise.
[Points at map]
RJ : Except for that little-bitty speck. You are here.
[All gasp]
RJ : No, no, that's a good thing. You're hibernators, right? You gather up a bunch of food, store it away for the winter?
Hammy the Squirrel : Aha! We fill the log!
Verne : Hammy.
RJ : Really? This log? This cave-like log?
Ozzie : All the way to the top.
Verne : Ozzie.
RJ : Let me ask ya, how long's it take, you know, to fill the log?
Heather : Two-hundred and seventy-four days.
RJ : Ooh! Ever done it in a week?
Verne : That's impossible.
RJ : Not if we work together. You see, you've got the food-gathering skills, I've got the know-how, and they have the food.
Heather : How much food?
RJ : Loads of food! Heaps of food! Food out the wazoo!
Verne : Well, you know, whatever kind of food comes out of a wazoo, I really don't think we're interested in eating.
Lou : I don't know. The guy's making a lot of sense to me. I think we should listen.
Penny : Yeah. I'm okay with wazoo food there.

Heather : [Locked in a cage, about to be driven off for extermination] I don't want to die, Dad. Not for real...
-
Hammy the Squirrel : [energetic] Where's the food? It's there any food left? I'm really hungry, so it's there any food left there, huh?
Heather : We ate all the food, Hammy, during the winter? So we're just about get some more now.
Hammy the Squirrel : Oh, right! I buried my nuts in the woods. I know where they are. I'll be right back. Bye!
[Hammy zips off. A drop of snow from the branch falls on Ozzie's head. He gasps and plays dead. The triplets laughs at Ozzie]
Heather : [chuckles nervously] Dad, it's just snow.
Ozzie : But, it could've been a predator.
Heather : Isn't playing dead a little... weak?
Ozzie : Heather, how many times must I say it? Playing possum is what we do. We die, so that we live!

Heather : [to Verne] You're just a... whatever!

Stella : What'll we do for food?
Verne : I don't know. But here's what I do know. We will be fine as long as no one goes over Steve again.
RJ : It's called a hedge, and it is not to be feared, my amphibious friend. It is the gateway to the good life.
Verne : Uh, I'm a reptile, actually. But, you know, it's a common mistake. And, uh, you are?
RJ : Oh, where are my manners. I'm RJ. Now please don't think I'm prying, but I couldn't help overhearing, and I think I could shed a little light on what this whole hedge situation is about.

Penny : Yeah, I'm okay with wazoo food there.
Verne : No, you're not. The tail is tingling.
RJ : Hold on, hold on. The what is what?
Verne : When something doesn't feel right, my tail tingles. And let me tell you something, everything you said so far is driving my tail crazy.
RJ : Listen. Verne, right? This isn't something you need to be afraid of.
Verne : Well, I am. And for good reason.
[Shows him a stainmark on his shell]
Verne : This is not a birthmark.
[RJ cleans it off with a toothbrush]
RJ : Ah, that's because you went over there without a guide, Verne.
Verne : Whatever. Thanks for stopping by. We're not interested.
RJ : Not interested in the most delicious food you've ever tasted?
Verne : No!
RJ : Come on.
Verne : Not interested.
RJ : Okay. I get it. I understand. This is something that you're just not open to.
[Opens up a bag of Doritos the gust of wind is so strong it pushes everyone backwards]
Hammy the Squirrel : What is that?
RJ : That, my friend, is a magical combination of corn flour, dehydrated cheese solids, BHA, BHT and good old MSG, a.k.a.the chip. Nacho cheese flavor.
