"You think it's not a good sign that a one-ton killing machine... built for freezing temperatures couldn't survive out here?" " [Teeth Chattering]" " I'm going to find Crystal." "Follow me, or don't." "Frankly, I don't care." "Well, I don't care either." "[Grunts]" "Okay, I care!" "I care!" "[Murray] Hey, hey, hey!" "[Screams]" "[Screams]" "[Screams Continue]" " Whoa!" " Aah!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Hey!" "This is almost fun!" "[Screams]" " Whoa, whoa." "Whoa, whoa." " Hey, slow it down, man." "[Murray Screaming]" "Oh, look." "It's your friend." "See?" "We should just stay here and wait for the kids." "Okay, fine." "We'll look for the kids in the morning." "Hey, maybe we could spend the night up there." "If we can climb up to that overhang, we'll at least be out of the snow." "[Walter] Hmm." "Maybe we can screw our hammocks and tents into the cliff." "Right, our hammocks and tents and other appropriate camping equipment." "[Grunts]" "[Honks]" " You brought a bagpipe?" " It relaxes me." "Once I'm inside this thing, I'll play myself to sleep." "You didn't bring a tent, did you?" "Well, I wasn't planning on spending the night here!" "I figured it wouldn't take more than one day to kick your butt." "Nature race in the wilderness?" "How could you possibly guess you might need supplies or equipment?" "Just hand me a mallet." "I guess some people never learn... no matter how many times you beat them." "You didn't really beat me fair and square." "You were so easy to beat, I fell asleep." "Right." "And then I beat you because I'm slow and steady." "Aah!" "[Groans]" " [Screams]" " Uh-oh." "This doesn't look good." "Hey!" "[Screams]" "[Both Grunt]" " Oh, it doesn't get any better than this." " [Wildcat Roars]" " [Grunts] - [Gasps]" "[Growls]" " [Screams]" " Hey, what are you doing?" "[Murray] It's every man for himself!" " [Growls]" " Aah!" "[Whimpering]" "[Grunting]" "This... is a good example of the importance of being quick." "Whatever." "Now can we slowly and steadily climb back up?" " [Wind Blowing]" " Huh?" "Hey!" "Hey!" "[Bagpipes Honk]" " [Sighs]" " Good job anchoring the tent." "Thanks." "[Fire Crackling]" "[Static]" " Is it working yet?" " No." "I can't seem to get a signal." "[Feedback]" "[Man] Rivers?" "He couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag." "[Man #2] I'll tell you what we should do with that country." "Bomb 'em!" "[Man #3] We're tracking severe storms over the northwest" "[Man #4] Nature adventure racers feared lost in the rocky crag."

"Maybe because my whole life feels like a race to climb up a mountain." "I know what you mean." "Well, we're approaching day two of the Mt." "Impossible Nature Adventure Race."

" What do you mean, "Where's Butch?"" "I mean I see Crystal, but I don't see Butch!" "That's it!" "Go, Crystal!" "We're winning!" "We've got it in the bag!" "All right, Crystal." "It's payback time." "Since you shared your food with me last night, it's only fair that I make breakfast." "I hope you like organic food." "[Gasps] Oh, Dad was right." "Never trust a tortoise!" "[Grunting]" "There's my boy!" "Wow!" "Look at him go!" "[Grunting]" " Go, Crystal!" " Go, Butch!" "Go!" "[Bob] This race is coming right down to the wire." "As they work their way to the top of Mt."

"No it isn't, Bob, but sometimes that's the way the world works." " [Snickering] - [Panting]" "Hey." "Missed you at breakfast this morning." " [Crystal] Nice try." " [Cackling]" "I taught you to salsa, and you tricked me!" "Well, what was all that you said last night... about this race being your dad's problem and-and being your own person?" "That's before you pulled a dirty trick to win." " What?" " I saw your little note about payback time." " But- - [Groans]" "[Crying] I thought we were friends." "I was getting breakfast to pay you back for the nice dinner you served last night." "When I came back, you were halfway up the mountain." "Butch, saying "payback time" usually means you're angry." "Trust me." "I'm really good at getting even." "I didn't mean it that way." "If we were on the computer, I would've put a smiley face at the end." "[Grunts] It's so hard to communicate without emoticons!" "Give me those." "[Grunts]" " Uh-oh." " What the" " Uh-oh." "Did you hear that?" " Yeah." " What was that?" " It sounded like ice cracking." "You mean like an" "[Together] Avalanche!" "[Crystal Screams]" "There's no question." "That is definitely an avalanche." "And it's taking young Tortoise and Hare along for the ride of their lives." "[Rex] Most likely, the final ride of their lives, Bob!" "[Bob] Their near-certain death is especially tragic because they were both so close to winning." "Oh, n" "Oh, that was so sweet of you." " Crystal!" " Butch!" " Hey, wait!" " I'm comin'!" " Why are you stopping?" " [Whimpers]" " Waah!" " [Both Scream]" " [Knocking] - [Pops]" "Aah!" "Crystal!" "[Coughs] Right here, Dad." " You okay?" " I think so." " [Scratching] - [Gasps]" " An air pocket!" " Butch!" "Hi." " [Pops] - [Screams]" "[Groans]" "I'm fine, and thanks for asking!" "Hey, who wants to get rescued?" "I know I do." "[Screams]" "Let's take some time and think about this." "Which way is the top?" "We want to make sure we dig in the right direction." "We can't all be right." "Maybe we should vote on it." "[Snorts, Spits]" "Gross!" "Son, just because we're trapped in a giant snowball... doesn't mean we should abandon basic decorum." "I was using gravity to determine which way is up." "He wasn't just hocking a loogie willy-nilly." "He was doin' a science deal." "My kid's a genius!" "Hmm, so up is... that way?" "Uh-oh." "[Grunts]" "It does not look good survival-wise for teams Tortoise and Hare." "You know it, Bob." "That snowball seems to be saying..." ""I'm keeping these competitors in here until late spring!"" "I wouldn't be surprised if their next stage of this race... involves scaling the pearly gates of heaven." "They've got about five minutes before they run out of air." "We've added an oxygen countdown clock so you viewers can enjoy the suspense." "[Rex] Say, here's a fun fact." "If that snowball were part of a snowman, it would be over 38 feet tall!" "[Bob] That would be an awfully big snowman, Rex." "[Rex] Yes, it would, Bob. [Chuckles]" "It's gettin' stuffy in here." "What if we don't make it?" "Help!" "Somebody help me!" "[Eagle Cries]" "Dad, no one can hear you." "Snow has really good sound-insulating properties." "Ah, it's so cozy all of a sudden." "It's" " It's so warm." "Butch, what's going on?" "Judging from the size of this air pocket..." "I'd say we have about four minutes and 38 seconds before we run out of oxygen." "[Chuckles] Is my son smart or what?" "This is a really bad time for boasting, Murray." "We have to dig our way out of here." "Besides, Crystal knew that too." "Didn't you?" " Sure thing, Dad." " You're darn right you did!" "We can't afford to use energy competing over whose kid is more amazing." "Lucky for them, eh, son?" " Right, Dad." " Because they wouldn't win that compet" " Okay, Dad." " Because we'd win." "And we'll probably beat them out of this snowball too." " That's enough!" " What?" "That attitude is the reason we're stuck in here, and we're not leaving until you stop." "Until I stop what?" "Until you stop using me to show him how great you are!" " Is that what you think I'm doing?" " Isn't that why we're here?" "Isn't that the whole reason we're doing this race?" " No!" " Then why are we doing it, Dad?" "Good point, Butch." "Way to stick it to the old man." "Now let's get out of here, so you can really give him a piece of your mind." "Hi, sweetie." "Please, enjoy this touching video tribute... to the fallen heroes of the Mt." "Impossible Nature Adventure Race." "## [Taps]" "[Both Gasp]" "I'm sorry." "I guess I love you so much..." "I just want to make sure you avoid the mistakes that I made." "But if you love us, why would you try to make us into something we're not?" "Is that what it seems like?" "That I only love you if you're a success?" "Well, there does seem to be a pretty big difference... between what I am and what you want me to be." "Crystal, I love you no matter what." "Well, it's not how you act." "Everything's always a contest with you." "It's always about winning." "I'm so sorry." "I guess I didn't realize what I was doing." "I'm sorry too, for all the things that, uh, he was sayin'." "Hey, can we, uh, maybe get outta here?" " Not until you shake hands." " No, hug." "Yeah, hug." "Uh- [Sighs]" "[Timer Beeping, Buzzes]" "Well, that looks like that's it, Bob." " But, it was a good race while it lasted." " [Crackling]" "Wait a minute." "I think we're gettin' some movement here." "Yes!" "[Laughs]" "Incredible!" "With time running out on the clock... both Team Tortoise and Team Hare emerge from their icy tomb!" "[Both Gasp]" " [Butch] Yea!" " [Crystal] Wow!" "I've never been so happy to see the sky!" " At last!" "Everything is- - [Rumbling]" "Huh?" "[Gasping]" " What was that?" " [Screaming]" " [Groans] - [Chuckles]" " Uh, the snowball is slipping." " Run!" "Come on, guys!" "Hurry, Dad!" "I'm goin' as fast as I can!" "[Groans]" " [Screams]" " Dad!" " Hurry, Dad!" " [Groans]" " Crystal!" " Butch!" "Wait!" "Butch!" "Whoa!" "[Grunts]" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Almost there!" "We're gonna make it!" "[Screams]" "Come on!" "Come on!" "[Grunts] Gimme your hand!" "[Crumbling, Thudding]" "[Wind Whistles]" "[Panting]" "Is everybody okay?" "Can you pull us up?" "[Grunting]" "[Grunting]" "I don't think so!" "Come on, Dad." "You've always been a winner to me, Dad." " I have?" " Yeah." "[Wind Whistles]" "[Grunts]" "[Groans]" "[Crystal, Butch Scream]" "[Whimpers]" "[Cracking]" "[Whimpering]" "[Whimpering, Sobbing]" "Slow and steady, Murray." "Slow and steady." "Come on!" "[Grunts]" "[Grunts]" "[Cheering]" " [Groans] - [Whimpers]" "[Whimpering]" "Oh, Annette." "[Groan]" " Mm-mmm." " Hey! "Ook."" "[Squeaking]" "[Cheering]" "Yeah!" "Whoo!" " [Cheering] - [Sobbing]" "That was quite a finger-pull, Murray." "Hey." "Thanks, Walter." "I guess now one of us has to win this race." " I think it should be you." " Nobody has to win or lose." "[Bob] In a surprising development... it looks like Team Tortoise and Team Hare are going to finish the race at the same time." "Bob, it looks like the only losers of this race are people who wanted to see someone lose." "And Team Pig- They seem to have dropped out." "[Snorting]" "[Cheering]" "## [Mariachi]" "We win?" "We win!" " We win!" " Olé!" "[Bob] While the other teams were struggling to survive, buried in the snow... it looks like Team Mole took the lead." "[Laughs] Olé!" "[Cheering]" "Team Mole, how did you beat these two highly-favored teams?" "[Speaking Spanish]" "In your face, Tortoise and Hare!" "Moles are on top now!" "So get used to it!" "[Laughs]" "[Metal Clicking]" "Come on." "Let's go get some more." " Homemade potato salad from a working mom?" " Yeah." "You wanna taste?" "Mmm." "That's delicious." "I'll have to get the recipe." "It's pretty simple, Dotty." "It's just potatoes, mayonnaise" "Wait, wait." "Please don't give it to me now." "I'll never be able to remember long enough to tell my cook." "[Kids Shouting]" " Mm-mm-mmm." " You're dead." "I'm tellin' you!" "Naps are great!" "Naps do seem like a good time to sit back and think about things." "[Grunts]" "[Weasels Giggling]" " [Laughs]" " Ready?" "Hey, Butch." "I wanted to ask if you could be one of my backup dancers." "I'm doing a huge number about... how fighting is bad and dancing is good." "in the school talent show." "What do you say?" "I would, Crystal, but actually I'm doing my own thing for the talent show." "I'm gonna recite the names of all the stars from memory." "But that's so hard." "There's so many of them." "Yeah, well, I'm gonna give it a shot." "Hey, why don't we combine our stuff for the talent show?" " You mean, do a dance about the stars?" " Sure!" "We could bring peace to the whole universe." " List some of your stars." " Alpha Centauri, Betelgeuse, Solamio..." " Centurion, Polaris" " Hmm." "Oh!" "I'm thinking of it." "Irish jig/Lambada/ breakdance/Charleston" " Whee!" " Slash" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Ow, ow, ow, ow!" "[Whimpering]" "[Bob] Will this new tortoise and hare team be able to take first place in the school talent show?" "Do they have what it takes to beat every other talented kid in their school?" "We don't care!" "We do!" "It's how we justify our enormous salaries!" " Now that's good television."
