The Nut Job 3: Gets Nuts/Transcript

At the museum/Emily Rogers
[At night, a man exits his van and walks in the museum while carrying a cage]

???: Good evening, Grant.

Grant: Miss Emily Rogers.

[Emily turns her face behind to Grant and the cage he's carrying]

Emily: Another delivery from the docks?

Grant: [nervously nods]

Emily: Bring it here.

[Emily enters her lab with Grant following her. Grant uncovers the cage, revealing a vibrant colored-iguana]

Emily: [fascinated] Yes... You are going to make a fantastic edition to the collection.

Grant: Aren't you going to stuff the other animals that you had?

Emily: Not really. There's not enough for this dusty old collection of mine. However, I need something rare. Rare breeds.

Grant: Well, I did see an animal across in the park with an unusual color.

Emily: Oh yes?

Grant: While I was driving to the museum, I noticed a differently-colored squirrel in Liberty Park with a female red squirrel, probably they're mates. That male squirrel must've been purple.

[The final thought caught Emily's attention as she turns to Grant]

Emily: [surprised] Did you say purple squirrel?

Grant: [nervously] Yes...

Emily: What happened to him [slowly marches up to Grant]

Grant: [nervously slowly backs away from her] He sneaked down the burnt oak tree.

Emily: Yes.

Grant: I tried to get them both.

Emily: Good.

Grant: But they got away easily.

Emily: [slaps Grant across the face for his failure] I'm sorry, it's just that creature means a lot to me.

Grant: Why? Is he endangered?

Emily: Not just him, the rest of the park rodents too. As soon as I get those park rodents, my collection will be popular.

[Emily puts the iguana back in the cage and carries it to a room full of rare animals in cages. The animals fearfully look at Emily]

Emily: [puts the iguana in the cage down] I'll be stuffing you all as long as the lot of you don't escape [exits the room and closes the door]

The baby shower/Young Surly and Andie's flashback
Precious: Tell us, Surly. How did you and Andie get to be so close before you started caring so much about each other?

Surly: Well, it was that beautiful day.

[Flashback to younger Surly finding Buddy]

Surly: [voice-over] A day when I was playing hide n seek with my Buddy.

Young Surly: [laughs] Buddy, where are you Buddy?

Surly: [voice-over] And that's when I met the poorest and nicest, female squirrel.

[Younger Surly and Younger Andie accidentally bumped into each other]

Young Andie: Oh, sorry. Are you okay?

Young Surly: [gets up] Ow. I'm okay, I'm sorry, too. Who are you?

Young Andie: [gets up] My name is Andie, and you?

Young Surly: I'm Surly. Pleased to meet you, Andie. [shakes Andie's hand] I'm playing a game of hide n seek with my rat friend, Buddy. Want to play?

Young Andie: Thanks, but I'm a little busy gathering nuts for my family and friends. I think I need help.

Young Surly: I'll help, but I wonder where Buddy is.

Young Andie: Well maybe for a short time.

Young Surly: Great. [takes Andie's hand and moves on] Let's go.

Young Andie [quietly] Hmm, Surly...

Surly: [voice over] We had fun. Until all of a sudden...

[Evil, dirty rats pounce from out of nowhere]

Young Surly: Huh? whoa!

Young Andie: Oh no! Where did those rats come from

Young Surly: I don't know, but run!

Surly: [voice over] We were attacked by evil, dirty rats and they wouldn't stop chasing us.

[Young Andie trips]

Young Andie: Surly, help! I tripped!

Young Surly: Andie! I got you! [one of rats comes and claws Surly's back] Ow!

Young Andie: Surly!

[Surly pick Andie up and jumps away and they get cornered against a tree]

Young Surly: Leave us alone!

Young Andie: There is too many of them!

Young Surly: I don't know what they're going to do to us. Just close your eyes.

[Andie closes her eyes as the rats start approaching the young squirrels, Surly bites one's nose causing it to back away and angering it as it resumes approaching them]

Surly: [voice over] They cornered us, but before they could do anymore harm...

[Buddy and many other animals come to rescue them throwing nuts, rocks, and other things at the rats while standing on the tree's branches]

Young Surly: Huh, who did that? Buddy!

Young Andie:: Buddy? Is that?

Young Surly: Yeah!

Surly: [voice over] Buddy saved my day once again. Oh and yes Andie's.

[The rats get hit and run away]

Young Surly: We're safe.

[Young Surly and Andie hug and Buddy jumps down from one of the branches and goes to give Surly a hug]

[Flashback fades back to the present]

Surly [voice over] And that's how Andie and I first met. She's still as pretty as the day I saw her. Who would have thought we'd be chased by mean rats?

HISS's arrival and invasion/Emily captures Surly and the others In Emily's evil lair/Directions to escape the museum
[Surly and the others overheard what Emily said and they became frightened of being stuffed and added to the collection with all the others animals that Emily stuffed]

Surly: [nervously gulps] We're next...

Redline: SHE'S AN ANIMAL KILLER!!!!

Raccoon's return/Raccoon and the street rats plotting for revenge
[Unbeknownst to Raccoon and the others, however, Emily is spying on them while hiding behind the corner]

Emily: [interested] A raccoon, a Northern cardinal bird, and street rats? [smirks evilly] They'll make an excellent edition to the collection as well along with that purple squirrel and all of the park rodents.

Buddy and Eva's love at first sight
[Buddy opens the bead curtains and was surprised to see Eva again, who was shaking in fear upon seeing him]

Andie: [offscreen]

Maddie: [offscreen]

Surly: [offscreen] I really never been. You think your friend Eva is one to be massaging me?

Maddie: [offscreen] Of course! Eva is an excellent masseuse and she's the best for massaging animals.

[Buddy looks at Eva longingly as Eva motions him to carry the box for her. While Buddy carries the box for her, Eva notices the sapphire jewel on his necklace and giggles. Buddy notices what Eva is giggling about and then smiles and blushes. Buddy and Eva look at each other romantically until Maddie calls for Eva]

Maddie: [offscreen] Eva! Where are you? Some customers are waiting for you

[Eva hears Maddie's voice and then runs off as Buddy watches her]

Surly and Maddie's argument/Raccoon and the street rats appear/Emily recaptures Surly and the others
[The animals officers lift a cage with Robert, Ava, Roily, and Shewsh inside, who are badly injured by them. Surly and the others gasped in shock upon seeing them injured]

Robert: [weakly] S-Sorry squirrel... They got us too...

In the van/Surly and Maddie's reconciliation/Surly and Andie's romantic moment/The kiss
Surly: You guys okay?

[Emily gets in the van]

Emily: [to the animals; cruelly] The lot of you aren't going anywhere but here! And this time, I'm not letting you all escape again!

[Emily and the animal officers began to drive back to the museum]

Jimmy: I should've eaten an extra kraft cake before this!

Johnny: Yeah, me too!

Surly: THAT'S YOUR FINAL THOUGHT?!

Mole: Yes! They were very good!

The chase/HISS's defeat and Emily's arrest/Andie in labor
Emily: [gets handcuffed] I almost got away with it! If it wasn't for those four meddling squirrels, the two lanky rats, the three annoying groundhogs, the cowardly mole, the two intrusive dogs, the merciless white mouse and his white mice army, and that big fat raccoon!

Jamie: Tell that to the judge, you animal murderer!

[Emily angrily looks and growls at Surly and the others as she and the animal officers are driven away by the police]

Frankie: Yeah, tell that to your inmate as well too!
