Quotes 

  • Ozzie : But this house is like a fortress. Walls, so high. Doors, impenetrable. How will we get in?

    RJ : The collar is the key.

    [Shows video on cell phone of Tiger entering door] 

    RJ : Literally, the collar is like a key that opens the door, and if...

    Stella : And what? You think he's just gonna hand over his collar to you?

    RJ : Not to me, my femme fatale. To you.

    Verne : Her?

    Stella : Me?

    RJ : You, Stella, will get that cat to give you his collar by using...

    Stella : My stink.

    RJ : ...your feminine charms.

    Hammy the Squirrel : Ha ha ha! - Was that out loud?

  • Hammy the Squirrel : [looking at the bigh bush]  Lets call it Steve!

    Verne : Steve?

    Hammy the Squirrel : Steve's a pretty name!

  • 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.

  • Hammy the Squirrel : I am a crazy, rabid squirrel! I want my cookies!

  • Hammy the Squirrel : Scary clown!

  • 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.

  • Ozzie : O great and powerful Steve! What do you want?

    Verne : I-I don't think it can speak.

    Debbie : [From other side of hedge]  I heard that, young man!

    [Others are shocked; Ozzie plays dead] 

    Debbie : You get over here right now!

    Hammy the Squirrel : Okay.

    Verne : Hammy, get back here.

    Hammy the Squirrel : But Steve is angry.

    Verne : I think it came from the other side of Steve - I mean, the bush. I mean... Geez!

  • Hammy the Squirrel : Wanna help me find my nuts?

    RJ : Very tempting, Hammy, very tempting...

  • RJ : [Lays down some Monopoly play pieces to signify what they will do]  Okay, this is us.

    Hammy the Squirrel : Can I be the car?

    Bucky : I wanna be the car!

    Spike : I'm the car. You be the shoe.

    Bucky : The shoe is lame.

    Lou : Why don't you be that snazzy-looking iron there?

    RJ : Hey! It's not important. Besides, I'm the car. I'm *always* the car.

  • RJ : And there they are. America's most coveted cookies. Love Handles, Skinny Mints, Neener-Neeners, and Smackeroons. And guess what? They're all yours!

    [Hammy jumps, but RJ stops him] 

    RJ : Whoa, Hamilton. Hold on there, fella. I love your energy, but you just can't take them.

    Hammy the Squirrel : But you just said they're mine.

    RJ : They will be, if we successfully marry your manic energy to my brilliant plan. You with me, kid?

    Hammy the Squirrel : I... I... I...

    RJ : The ayes have it. Let's ride.

  • Verne : [to RJ]  You see what you've done here? If they listen to half the stuff you're telling them, they'll be dead within a week! You are only interested in taking advantage of them because they are too stupid and naive to know any better!

    Hammy the Squirrel : [growing solemn]  I'm not stupid.

    Verne : [noting the family's reaction]  Okay, I didn't mean, uh... I meant... ignorant! To the... ways over... over, over there.

    [they begin walking away] 

    Verne : C'mon you guys, you know I didn't mean it like that. Don't... don't do this. Stella... Ozzie?

    [stops Hammy] 

    Verne : Hammy? You know I didn't... Hammy?

    Hammy the Squirrel : [pushes him away]  I'm not stupid...

  • RJ : Now listen, champ. Okay, what we're goin' for here is a vicious, man-eating, rabid squirrel. Can you handle that?

    Hammy the Squirrel : Umm, excuse me!

    [Raises hand] 

    RJ : Yes, Hammy?

    Hammy the Squirrel : Rabbits aren't vicious. They're all cute and cuddly, so...

    RJ : *Rabid*, not rabbit.

    Hammy the Squirrel : Oh! Huh?

  • RJ : No, Hammy, not the cookie. I told you that cookie was junk!

    Hammy the Squirrel : But I like the cookie.

  • Hammy the Squirrel : [Runs to one end of the hedge]  It never ends!

    [Runs to the other end and back] 

    Hammy the Squirrel : It never ends that way, too.

  • RJ : Do you like the cookie?

    Hammy the Squirrel : I like the cookie!

    RJ : [Throws cookie away]  Well this cookie's yuck!

    Hammy the Squirrel : But I thought I liked the cookie...

  • Hammy the Squirrel : I've got the cookie!

  • [last lines] 

    Hammy the Squirrel : I filled the log! I found my nuts!

  • Hammy the Squirrel : [of the hedge]  Let's call it Steve!

  • [after the credits, RJ tries to take all the food in the vending machine, but they get stuck] 

    Hammy the Squirrel : Well, this is anti-climactic

  • RJ : You want this cookie?

    Hammy the Squirrel : Oh, yeah, yeah!

    RJ : This cookie's JUNK!

    Hammy the Squirrel : But I like the cookie...

  • Hammy the Squirrel : I've had dirt, I don't like dirt, it tastes like dirt!

  • Hammy the Squirrel : [points angrily to his reflection in a car fender]  *This* guy's not comin' with us, is he? 'Cause I don't want him to!

    RJ : [exasperated]  Oh, I have so much work to do.

  • Hammy the Squirrel : I like the cookie.

  • Hammy the Squirrel : [Slipping on kitchen floor]  No grip! No grip! No grip!...

    RJ : Hammy, less claw, more pad.

    Hammy the Squirrel : Oh, okay.

    [Hammy zips across the room, crashes into wall] 

    Hammy the Squirrel : That hurt.

  • RJ : [after making him look like a rabid squirrel]  Now show me that vicious look in your eye, boy. Come on!

    Hammy the Squirrel : Oh, oh, I can burp my ABC's

    [burping] 

    Hammy the Squirrel : A, B, C...

    RJ : HAMMY! I just really need you to focus right now, okay?

    Hammy the Squirrel : Okay.

  • Hammy the Squirrel : Oh! Morning!

    Verne : Morning, Hammy.

    Hammy the Squirrel : I gotta go wee-wee!

    Verne : Oh... Not on the lake we drink from!

  • 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!
