The Fox and the Hound

Widow Tweed:
Amos Slade, you trigger-happy lunatic! Give me that gun!

[she takes Amos' gun, then shoots on the radiator of his truck, which hisses]

Amos:
My radiator! Why, you blasted female! I'll--

Tweed:
[aims the gun at him] Hold it, right there!

Amos:
[nervously] Watch it! That thing's loaded!

[Tweed shoots the last bullet in the air]

Tweed:
Now it ain't loaded!

[she tosses the empty gun back to Amos]

Amos:
Dagnabbit, woman! [points to Tod] Your thievin' fox was after my chickens!

Tweed:
Rubbish and poppycock! I don't believe it. He wouldn't hurt a thing!

Amos:
You callin' me a liar, you muddle-headed female?! I saw it happen!

Tweed:
Amos Slade, that temper of yours is going to get you into a lot of trouble someday!

Amos:
[turns red in the face] Temper?! Temper?! Woman, you ain't seen my temper! [throws his hat to the ground and stomps on it] If I ever catch that fox on my property again, I'll blast him! And next time I won't miss!

[While chasing Squeeks, Boomer accidentally pecks off the branch he's standing on and has a nasty fall]

Tod:
What happened to you? Golly!

Boomer:
Aw, shucks! I think I bent my b-b-b-b-beak.

Dinky:
[to Boomer] Now see what you've done?! You cost us our breakfast!

Boomer:
I cost us our breakfast? It was your fault!

[an argument begins]

[Dinky and Boomer watch Squeeks through Tweed's keyhole]

Dinky:
Look at that little creep. Warm and cozy by the fire.

Boomer:
Let me take a look. How do you like that guy? S-s-s-snug as a b-b-bug! While we're out here f-f-freezin' our b-b-b-b-beaks off!

Dinky:
Yeah. Well, yakkin' and shiverin' ain't getting us anywhere. We'll get that no-good worm when we come back! [flies away]

Boomer:
[follows Dinky] Oh, sh-sh-sh-sh-shucks!

Tod:
I'm a fox. My name's Tod. What's your name, kid?

Copper:
My name's Copper. I'm a hound dog!

[Tod goes into Chief's barrel to watch him sleeping]

Copper:
Oh, don't go in there! He can get awful mean! He's cranky.

Tod:
Gee willikers. Is he ever big. His ears aren't as big as yours, Copper.

Copper:
That's not the part you gotta worry about.

Tod:
[checks Chief's teeth] Wow! Look at those teeth!

Copper:
That's the part you gotta worry about!

Tod:
Copper, you're my very best friend.

Copper:
And you're mine too, Tod.

Tod:
And we'll always be friends forever. Won't we?

Copper:
Yeah, forever.

[after breaking his leg, Chief pretends to whine and leaves his designated room in attempt to get sympathy]

Amos:
Chief, get back in there before I break your other leg.

[Tod tries to catch a fish.]

Vixey:
Tod, do you need help?

Tod:
No, I knew this way, all the... all the time! [falls into the water, then ends up catching a stick] I got him!

Boomer:
[laughs] Oh, that farm boy! He knew nothing about fishin'!

[All laugh hysterically]

Big Mama:
I'm sorry, Tod. Honey, Copper's gonna come back a trained huntin' dog. A real killer.

Tod:
Oh, no. Not my friend Copper. He won't never change.

Big Mama:
I hope you're right, Tod.

Tod:
And we'll keep on being friends forever. Uh, won't we, Big Mama?

Big Mama:
Darlin', forever is a long, long time. And time has a way of changin' things.

Copper:
[upon seeing Tod] I thought that was you, Tod. I heard you coming. Boy, you've really grown.

Tod:
You have too, Copper. I saw you coming back with Chief and the hunter.

Copper:
It's great to see you, Tod. [looks back at Chief, who is trying to sleep] But you know, you-- You shouldn't be over here. You're going get us both into a lot of trouble.

Tod:
Look, I-- I just wanted to see you. We're still friends, aren't we?

Copper:
[makes a sad glare] Tod... those days are over. I'm a hunting dog now. [Tod becomes surprised, then feels sad] You-- You better get out of here before old Chief wakes up.

Tod:
Oh, Chief. [chuckles] He doesn't worry me.

Copper:
[whispers, as Chief is barely awakening] Tod, I'm serious. You're fair game as far as he's concerned!

Widow Tweed:
Goodbye may seem forever, Farewell is like the end, but in my heart's a memory, and there you'll always be.

[Copper yawns and lays down to go to sleep; he closes his eyes and smiles as he thinks about when he and Tod were younger]

[repeated dialogue]

Young Tod:
Copper, you're my very best friend.

Young Copper:
And you're mine too, Tod.

Young Tod:
And we'll always be friends forever, won't we?

Young Copper:
Yeah. Forever.

[the film ends with Tod and Vixey sitting on a hill, overlooking where Copper is]

[Squeeks squeezes beneath a glass compartment in a telephone pole]

Boomer:
A caterpillar under glass! Oh, boy!

[as soon as Boomer begins tapping it, both birds are electrocuted]

Boomer:
Holy...!

Dinky:
...smoke! [coughs]

[Squeeks crawls out of the glass and and flashes whenever he crawls]

Boomer:
Hey! Hey! How's he do that, Dinky? How's he do that?
