"Now, now, now, take it easy." "Well, hows this for a huntin dog?" "Hes just a little runt now, but hell grow." "You may as well get used to him, Chief." "Hes for you to look after from now on." "Tod, stop pestering Abigail." "Abigail, youre going to have to be patient with Tod." "Hes one of the family now." "Oh, of course." "Now I know." "I declare, I never will get my chores done." "Oh, mercy!" "Tod!" "Tod, stop it!" "Abigail!" "Abigail!" "Oh, no!" "There goes my milk!" "Oh, no!" "Easy, easy, Abigail." "Steady, old girl." "Steady." "There, there." "Tod, you come here."

"You oughta know that." "Thats not what I smell." "I dont know, Chief." "Its something else." "Sonny, you got a lot of learning to do about a-sniffin and a-smellin." "Hey, where you goin?" "I want to find out what that smell is." "OK, Copper, but the master aint gonna like you wandering off." "I wont get lost, Chief." "I can smell my way back." "Cant tell these young whippersnappers anything." "What ya smelling?" "Im on the trail of somethin." "Trail of what?" "I dont know yet." "Why, its... its you!" "What do you do that for?"

"Gee, Ive gotta go." "If only the world wouldnt get in the way" "If only people would just let you play" "They say youre both being fools" "Youre breaking all the rules" "They cant understand" "The magic of your wonderland" "When youre the best of friends" "Copper!" "Sharing all that you discover" "When these moments have passed Will that friendship last?" "Who can say?" "Theres a way" "Oh, I hope" "I hope it never ends" "Come on, Copper!" "'Cause youre the best of friends" "Copper, youre my very best friend." "And youre mine too, Tod." "And well always be friends forever, wont we?" "Yeah, forever." "Hey, lets go swimmin!" "Give me a head start and I can beat ya!" "Dagnabit!" "That Copper pups gone and strayed off again." "Come on, Chief."

"He sounds awful mad." "Ill see ya tomorrow!" " And dont forget!" " I wont!" "Hey, Copper, what happened to ya?" "Why didnt you...?" "Golly!" "Youre all tied up." "Yeah, and its no fun either." "The master says I gotta stay home." "Well, we can play around here then." "Oh, no." "Not with old Chief over there." "Is that him making that awful noise?" "He keeps me awake at night." "Oh, dont go in there!" "He can get awful mean!" "Hes cranky." "Gee-whillikers, is he ever big." "His ears isnt as big as yours, Copper." "Thats not the part you gotta worry about." "Wow!" "Look at those teeth." "Thats the part you gotta worry about!" "Im gaining on him." " He wont get away now." " Hes waking up!" "Get out, Tod!" "No." "Hes having a dream." "Hes chasing somethin." "When I get him cornered..." "Its..." "Its..." "Its a big old badger." "Copper, hes chasing a badger." "No, no, it aint a badger." "Its a..." "Its a f..." "Its a fox." "A fox?" "Run, Tod!" "Run!" "Tod!" "Amos Slade, you trigger-happy lunatic!" "Give me that gun!" "My radiator!" "Why, you blasted female." " Ill..." "Ill..." " Hold it right there!" "Watch it!" "That things loaded!" "Now it aint loaded!" "Dagnabit, woman!" "Your thievin fox was after my chickens!" "Rubbish and poppycock!" "I dont believe it." "He wouldnt hurt a thing." "You callin me a liar, you muddleheaded female?" " I saw it happen!" " Amos Slade, that temper of yours is going to get you into a lot of trouble." "Temper?" "Temper, woman?" "You aint seen my temper!" "If I ever catch that fox on my property again, Ill blast him!" "And next time, I wont miss!" "Poor little tyke." "Its a shame I have to keep him cooped up." "Tod, stop looking at me like that." "Its not my fault, you know." "You caused a lot of trouble yesterday." "Oh, now what are they up to?" "Why, it looks like Amos is going on a hunting trip." "A long one, from the looks of it." "Well, good riddance!" "Doggone meddling female, shootin up my radiator!" "Dad blame it." "Get goin!" "There." "Well, thats more like it." "Keep runnin, old girl." "Well, Copper, me and old Chief are gonna teach you all about hunting." "Yes, sir." "Its about time too." "Attaboy." "Yeah, youre gonna like tracking down those varmints for me." "Get in the back, half-pint." "You gotta earn your right to sit up front." "Well, boys, were gettin outta here till next spring." "Tod, honey, what are you doin over here?" "Gee, I just wanted to say goodbye to Copper, but Im too late." "Well, what did you plan to do if you ran into old Chief?" "Chief." "I can outfox that dumb old dog anytime." "Tod, now hold it just one minute." "Didnt you learn anything yesterday?" "Now you listen good, Tod, because its either education or elimination." "Now if youre so foxy and old Chiefs so dumb, then why does that hound get the fox on the run?" "Cause hes got the hunter, and the hunters got the gun." "Elimination." "Lack of education." "If you pal around with that Copper hound" "Youll wind up hangin on the wall" "Keep your nose to the wind Youll keep your skin" "'Cause you wont be home when the hunter comes to call" "Oh, Big Mama, I know Copper would never track me down." "Why, old Copper, hes my best friend." "Your best friend." "Now, Coppers gonna do what hes been told." "Supposed to chase the little old fox into the old foxhole, then along comes the hunter with a buckshot load." "Elimination." "Lack of education." "You better believe it, Tod." "Yes, sirree!" "You mean Copper is gonna be my enemy?" "Hey!" "Kid, you better step over here and take a good look." "Why..." "Why, thats awful." "Those poor things." "Im sorry, Tod." "Honey, Coppers gonna come back a trained hunting dog." "A real killer." "Oh, no, not my friend Copper." "He wont ever change." "I hope youre right, Tod." "And well keep on being friends forever." "Wont we, Big Mama?" "Darlin, forever is a long, long time, and time has a way of changing things." "Oh, Jiminy." "It sure turned cold." " Im freezing my b..." " Hey!" "Its that fuzzy worm!" "Lets get him!" "Charge!" "Hey, Dinky!" "Dinky, quick!" "Over here!" "I got him!" "I got him!" "Do I look like a worm?" "Thats who were after." "Come on!" "Look at that little creep, warm and cosy by the fire." "Let me take a look." "Now how do you like that guy?" "Snug as a bug, while were out here freezing our beaks off." "Yackin and shivering aint gettin us anywhere." "Well get that no-good worm when we come back." "Oh, shucks." "So long, Big Mama." "Yeah, were goin south for the winter." "Goodbye, boys." "See ya next spring." "Well, look whos here." "Oh, my goodness." "Im sorry, Tod, honey." " I hope..." " Hiya, Big Mama." "Were back." "We flew all the way." "Yeah, we did." "We did."

" Smoke!" "Hey, hey, hows he do that, Dinky?" "Hows he do that?" "I aint got no job I'm a huntin man" "And Id rather have a dog than a dollar" "So lets go banjo ring-a-ling-a-ding-ho" "Give a little hoot and a holler" "Come on, Chief." "Just cause youre not sittin up front, that aint no reason to be a sorehead." "Shucks, if it werent for you," "Copperd never have turned into a good huntin dog." "Yes, sirree." "Now I got me the best two dogs there is." "Right, Copper?" "Isnt he something, Chief?" "Look, Big Mama!" "Coppers back!" "Boy, has he grown big." "And look at that big pile of skins he helped track down." "I know, Big Mama." "Hes a huntin dog now." "Youre right." "And youre a fox." "That wont make any difference." "Coppers gonna be glad to see me." "Well, honey, just dont get your hopes too high." "Look, dont worry." "Ill be careful." "Ill go tonight when Chief and the hunter are asleep." "Boy, its great to be back home, isnt it, Chief?" "Come on, Chief." "You arent still sore, are ya?" "Hey, hey, come on." "Lets scuffle." "We aint scuffled in a long time." "Come on, Chief!" "Lets have some fun!" "Oh, lay off, Copper, you overgrown pup, you." "Oh, let go!" "Dagnabit!" "Let go, I say!" "Oh, OK, OK." "That was your trouble on the hunt." "Come on, old-timer." "You treat me like a pup, you know that?" "Why, I think I done real good tracking down them varmints for ya." "Smellin and tracking aint enough." "You gotta think nasty." "OK, OK, I know." "I know." "Copper." "Hey, Copper." "Its me, Tod." "I thought that was you, Tod." "I heard ya comin." "Boy, youve really grown." "You have too, Copper." "I saw you comin back with Chief and the hunter." "Its great to see ya, Tod." "But, you know, you..." "You shouldnt be over here." "Youre gonna get us both into a lot of trouble." "Hey, look, I..." "I just wanted to see ya." "Were..." "Were still friends, arent we?" "Tod, those days are over." "Im a huntin dog now." "Youd better get outta here before old Chief wakes up." "Chief." "He doesnt worry me." "Tod, Im serious." "Youre..." "Youre fair game as far as hes concerned." "Its that fox again!" "Oh, no!" "No!" "Theyre after Tod!" "After him, boys!" "Go get him!" "Copper!" "Copper!" "Copper!" "Tod, I..." "I dont wanna see you get killed." "Track him down, boy!" "Ill let you go this one time." "Dont lose him!" "There they are!" "Old Chiefs got him on the run!" "Jump, Chief!" "Jump!" "Chief!" "Chief?" "Oh, no!" "No!" "Tod, if its the last thing I do, Ill..." "Ill get you for this!" "Tod!" "Tod?" "Tod!" "Oh, Tod!" "Thank heaven youre safe." "Oh, poor Chief." "And its all my fault."

"You cant keep him locked up forever!" "We met, it seems" "Such a short time ago" "You looked at me" "Needing me so" "Yet from your sadness" "Our happiness grew" "And I found out I needed you too" "I remember how we used to play" "I recall those rainy days" "The fires glow" "That kept us warm" "And now I find" "Were both alone" "Goodbye may seem forever" "Farewell is like the end" "But in my hearts the memory" "And there... youll always be" "Goodbye may seem forever" "Farewell is like the end" "But in my hearts the memory" "And there youll always be" "Hold it, sonny!"

"Tarryhootin around them woods, waking up folks in the middle of the night." "I honestly didnt know anybody lived here, and I..." "Well, you know it now." "Now get off my property!" "Go on!" "Beat it!" "Ive been watching you, sir." "You can stay with me if you want to." " Thats very nice of you." " Come with me." "She dropped that fox off at the game preserve." "Well get him." "Well get him." "Well, now, if you gotta have a busted leg, this is the way to do it." "Good food, soft pillow, warm stove." "Sure beats sleeping in that barrel." "Well, now, here comes visitors to see the invalid." "How do you like that?" "They didnt even ask how Im feelin." "Chief, get back in there before I break your other leg." "Copper, Copper, lookit here." "Now, when that fox comes traipsing along, suspecting nothin..." "Tod?" "Tod?" "Oh, boy." "These old wings aint what they used to be."

"You barged in on me last night, and now you..." "I didnt mean to." "Just look at the mess you made." "Dagnabit, you clumsy bonehead!" "Im sorry." "It was an accident." "Excuses, excuses." "Mr Digger, sir?" "It was so too an accident." "You keep out of this, you walkin pincushion." "You shouldnt be so grumpy to someone whos new in the neighbourhood." "A stranger?" "Why dont you go back where you came from?" "Wha...?" "Well, go on." "Get goin." "Git!" "Gosh, he seems so..." "I dont know, so downhearted, Big Mama." "Well, you cant blame him, honey." "He was dropped out here and left all alone without a friend in the world." "Well, maybe theres something I could do." "You know, cheer him up." "Honey, you just said the magic words." "Now..." "What?" "But Big Mama, I dont..." "Darlin, dont move." "You look beautiful." "Thank you." "Mornin, Tod." "Hello, Big Mama." "Last night was pretty miserable for you, wasnt it, honey?"

" One what?" "Fish, silly!" "Oh, oh, yeah!" "Oh, yeah." "My dear young lady you happen to be looking at an expert... fisher fox." "Oh, Tod, Tod." "Dont overdo it." "I know all the tricks."
