...and terrible tantrums...
...waste valuable energy!
And energy is power...
...and power is money...
...and money in the bank...
...is peace of mind!

Now remember sir, wild rages...
...and terrible tantrums...
...waste valuable energy!
And energy is power...
...and power is money...
...and money in the bank...
...is peace of mind!
Money is no object!
Uh, are you feeling okay boss?
I think we have a little misunderstanding.
(Staring angrily at the pigs) You've got that right. Three little misunderstandings!
[Melissa, the pigs, Cedric, Mr. Roykirk and Snag have rescued Cyril from the burning tree that was pinning him down. Cyril is now sitting on the ground, petting Snag as he eats a steak]
Cyril! Are you okay?
Fine. Fine, thank you.
[He looks at Snag]
Cost me a fortune to feed Snag. It's ridiculous. Heh-heh.
Sorry, this information is strictly confidential.
And this machine is for the birds!
Do you have an appointment sir?
One more oink out of you, pig, and you're a budget cut.
Come on Knox! You wouldn't throw me out of my own house, would you?
Heavens, no! I'd wait six hours, then throw you out of my house!
Thanks Cyril! We owe you one!
(wails) Ten million dollars!
We don't own him that much!
Great! Held prisoner in my own home! By a computer, no less! "It'll do everything," you said! "It never makes mistakes," you said!
Eh, Heh, Heh...Just a few bugs in the system, Sir.
And you bug-brains programmed the system! I'll reprogram you when we get out of here!
(to Bentley) The point is, the only thing you're running away from is yourself. And that doesn't work, because no matter where you go, there you are. I want to tell you a story about a kid I knew. He ran away once. He thought he could make it on his own without friends. Without parents. Without a home. You know what...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before! He ended up poor and homeless, right?
Wrong! He's a millionaire. But there were a lot of lost and lonely years before he made it. And nice as money is, it can't buy back those years. Am I getting through?
I... I guess so.
You might think you're tough and brave running away, but believe me, it takes more courage to face up to your mistakes. Turn back while there's still time. Don't be like the kid in the story, Bentley.
Was that kid... you, Mr. Sneer?
(Cyril doesn't reply)
(About Cyril's bears striking) But sir, the bears provide all the cheap menial labour around the place.
No problem. You menials are cheaper. You can pick up the slack.
That's what we were afraid of.
But sir, they did drive a hard bargain!
And I'll drive you to the sausage factory!
I've been expecting this kind of unhanded chicanery! In fact, I've had a little quiz prepared just for the occasion. It should prove exactly who you are not!
(in unison) All set sir!
Fasten your seatbelt 'Simon', you're in for a bumpy ride! Only my real brother can answer any of these questions! Fire away!
Um, um, what size boots did you used to wear?
Simple. Eight!
Uh, he's right sir!
He is? Well that's a stupid question! Anyone could have guessed that right. Ask him another one!
Er, okay... what colour were your old boots?
No peeking!
Green.
Right again sir.
What? A lucky guess. Give him a tough one this time.
Um, okay, um... did these boots have any buckles?
Is that all you're going to ask him? Questions about boots?! Who cares! Didn't you find anything else in that trunk? ANYTHING AT ALL?
All we got were his boots.
And here's three more! (He proceeds to kick the pigs away)
Cedric, I know I haven't been paying much attention to you lately.
That's alright Pop. I know how much you hate to pay for anything!
We're going to surprise you with voices from your past. You must identify these voices. Listen to their stories about your life, and answer their questions. You ready Cyril?
I'm ready alright! Ready to leave! This is the dumbest idea for a gameshow I've ever heard of!
And each correct answer earns you $10,000!
Hah! (He rushes back) What are you waiting for?
