Thank you, Mr. Wallace.
All in a night's work, Mrs. Mulch.
Huh? Ah!
Cute little feller, isn't he?
You'd never believe they'd cause so much damage.
WALLACE: Oh, he may look innocent, sir.
But left to his own devices,
this is the ultimate vegetable-destroying machine.

Job well done, lad. (CHUCKLES)

Bless you, Anti-Pesto.

Oh, uh... Gromit, old pal. (CHUCKLES)
It's happened again. I'll need assistance.
Ow! (GROANS)

(ELECTRONIC WHIRRING)

I'm sure that hole's getting smaller.

Another successful night. How are the inmates?
Must be getting a bit full down there.
(WALLACE'S STOMACH GROWLS)
(CHUCKLES)
Talking of which.
Now, for a great big plate of...
...vegetables.
A-ha!
Still got me on the diet, eh, Gromit?
Watching me shape? (LAUGHS) There's a good dog.
Oh, oh! Uh...
Gromit, lad?
How is that prize marrow of yours coming on?
Must be a while since you measured it.
(BEEPING)
Mmm! Lovely food. For rabbits, that is.
As for me, I need something a bit more cheesy.
A-ha!
(CHUCKLES) Ooh!
(SNAPPING) WALLACE: Oh!
Oh! (GROANING)
Caught red-handed, eh, lad?
(SIGHS) I'm sorry, Gromit.
I know you're doing this for my own good,
but the fact is, I'm just crackers about cheese.
Look, if I must change me ways,
at least let me do it my way.
(BEEPS)
With technology.
It's time we tried my latest invention,
the Mind Manipulation-omatic.
Ha!
It extracts unwanted thoughts and desires.
I haven't tested it yet, but it should be perfectly safe.
Just a bit of harmless brain alteration, that's all.
(RINGING) Uh-oh!
Anti-Pesto Humane Pest Control. How might we be of assistance?
Ah, yes. Lady Tottington here of Tottington Hall.
Your Ladyship.
This is an honor. Oh! Ow!
It's a disaster. I have the most terrible rabbit problem.
The competition's only days away. You simply have to do something.
Certainly, ma'am. I think we're about to go up in the world, lad.
Just stay right where you are, Your Ladyship,
and we'll be with you in an... (SCREAMS)
In an hour? I can't wait an hour.
I have a major infestation. Hmm? Hello? Hello?
Hmm. (DOORBELL RINGING)
Ah. That's more like it.
Thank goodness you've... Oh.
What ho! (LAUGHS) For you, my love.
Victor. How lovely and... unexpected.
Heard you had a spot of rabbit bother and tootled straight on over
to sort the blighters out.
Gosh, that's awfully sweet of you.
But you really needn't bother.
It's no bother, little boo-boo.
It's the least a chap can do for his filly.
Don't want pests spoiling our beautiful manor house, do we?
"Our" manor house?
No one's mentioned marriage, Victor.
(CHUCKLING) All in good time, my dear.
Vermin first, though, what what.
Come on, Phillip.
(GRUNTS) Victor!
We can deal with this humanely.
WALLACE: Oh-ho! Very classy.
Just the sort of client we should be dealing with, eh, lad?
Oh.
Burrowing bounders!
They must be breeding like...
...well, rabbits.
Only one thing for it, lad.
(WHIRRING)
Victor, hadn't we agreed? Hmm.
No more thoughtless killing.
Quite right, my dear.
So I've thought this one through very carefully.
It's off to bunny heaven for you, big ears.
(YELPS) Victor! No!
(WHIMPERING)
Ah! What the...
WALLACE: Champion sucker, eh, Gromit?
The BunVac 6000.
(SQUEAKING) Whee!
This'll impress Her Ladyship.
I don't understand. It should have been a bull's-eye.
Oh, Victor. I felt we'd made a real breakthrough
with this hunting obsession of yours. I really thought you'd changed.
I'm sorry, Campanula, but I am what I am.
There's no nonsense with Victor Quartermaine.
What you see is what you get.

What a fabulous job you've done. And not a single one harmed.
Ah, the old BV6000, ma'am.
Capable of 125 RPM. That's "rabbits per minute."
How inspired!
Mister... Oh, Wallace.
Mr. Wallace. Mmm.
Is this all of them? Oh.
Uh, just one left. Hoist her up, Gromit.
(WHIRRING) (VICTOR GROANS)
(GASPS)

TOTTINGTON: Victor, stop fooling around in the dirt and have a look at this.
The ingenious Anti-Pesto
have completely dealt with my rabbit problem.
Isn't it marvelous? Marvelous?
"Marvelous"?
This confounded contraption virtually suffocated me!
Besides, the job's only half done.
How do you intend to finish these vermin off?
Crush 'em? Liquidize 'em?
They're humane. "Humane"?
Well, then perhaps they'd be humane enough to give me back my dignity.
I want...
(SIGHS)
(WHISPERS) Toupee, please.
Oh, grand. Uh, we take check or cash.
"Toupee," you idiot! My hair is in your machine.
Oh, no, it's only rabbits in there.
The hare, I think you'll find, is a much larger mammal. (GROWLING)
Out of my way, fool.
I'm sorry, my dear, but I refuse to suffer any further humiliation
at the hands of these blundering nitwits.
I therefore bid you good day.
(GROWLS AND SCOFFS)
TOTTINGTON: Thank you for ridding me of a real problem, Mr. Wallace.
Tell me, what exactly will you do with all these rabbits?
Oh, uh...
Trade secret. (CHUCKLES)
Yes. I'd be happy to let them roam free if it wasn't for the competition.
But they do so love their veg.
It's in their little bunny natures, and you can't change that, can you? (LAUGHS)
No. (LAUGHS)
(CAR ENGINE STARTS) (GASPS)
Or can you?
Why didn't we think of it before, lad?
The solution to all our storage problems. (CHUCKLES)
Simply by connecting the BunVac
to the Mind Manipulation-omatic,
we can brainwash the bunnies.
(LAUGHS) Rabbit rehabilitation.
Once cured of their antisocial veg-ravaging behavior,
the rabbits can be safely released without fear of re-offending.
Just a little added lunar power to enhance the mind waves...
(WHIRRING)
...and we can begin.
Veg, bad.
Say no to carrots,
cabbage and cauliflower.
Well, come on, lad, what are you waiting for?
Turn on the BunVac.
Full suction.
Ah.
(GRUNTING)
It's working, Gromit. Oh! It's working!
Ho-ho!
Their tiny bunny brains
are being saturated in my veg-free mind waves.
Huh? RABBITS: Huh?
Another 30 minutes' brainwashing should suffice.
Then we can move on to the conditioning.

Come on. Let's get the kettle on.
We'll see to him in the morning.

Mankind freed from rabbit problems forever.

It's carnage out there. Where were Anti-Pesto?

Right. One at a time, if ya please.
We paid good money for our crop protection.
If ya can't deliver the goods, maybe you should keep your traps shut.

That's enough! That's enough!
Look, this flippin' vegetable competition

Oh, come, come, now.
I do believe the Vicar's been to the communion wine again.

What we are dealing with here is no supernatural rabbit.
It's a big fellow, perhaps.
But a mortal creature of flesh and blood. (ALL GASP)
A matter easily dealt with by a hunter. (ALL MURMURING)
Guns will not be necessary, thank you, Victor.
Hasn't there been enough destruction?
I believe the killing of fluffy creatures
is never justified.
I say we give Anti-Pesto a second chance.
What? How on Earth would those tiny-minded buffoons
ever catch such a big rabbit?
Mr. Wallace?
Oh!
Oh...
(WOOD CREAKING)
Ooh, well...
With a big trap.
By Jove. He's... He's got it!

there's hope for the vegetables yet.
Not the ones I'm looking at.
That's me boys!

That's the biggest trap of all.

And that's what we'll use to catch this thing.

How could any hot-blooded rabbit-beast resist?
(GASPS)
Oh, come on, Gromit.
A bit more, you know, alluring.
Ho-ho!
Very cheeky.

You do realize I've made a personal promise to Lady Tottington.
How is this sort of behavior going to get us
any nearer to finding a rabbit-monster?
(SNORING)
(CLATTERS)
Hutch.
(GULPS)
Oh, Gromit.
We've created a monster.
Hutch is the beast.

You saved the day, Mr. Wallace.
It was nothing, Your Ladyship.
So modest. (CHUCKLES)
Oh, please, do help yourself.
Oh!

I so appreciate you coming all this way to let me know, Wallace.
Tell me, are you a vegetable-lover yourself?

There's something very special I want to show you.
Oh!
Hop in.
It's very snug. It's my Jacob's ladder.
(DINGS)
And it goes all the way to heaven.
(GASPS)
Welcome to my inner sanctum, Wallace.
My secret garden. Hmm!
It's a veritable,
vegetable paradise.
I just knew you'd love it.
Unlike Victor.
He's never shown any interest in my produce.
Oh! His loss, Lady Tottington. Please, Wallace.
Call me "Totty." (CHUCKLES)

TOTTINGTON: If anything were to happen to my vegetables,
I don't know what I'd do.
I'm sure you understand, Mr. Wallace.
I can see that you're a true nature lover.
Oh, yes. Yes, I am.
TOTTINGTON: At first, I thought I could change Victor.
Now I'm not so sure. Oh!

Oh, yes.

The beast lurks within all of us, my child.
The side that emerges at night as the moon rises into the sky.
The side that savagely rips the leaves
off any innocent cabbage.
Spare me the sermon, Vicar.
Just tell me how I kill him. (STAMMERS) I mean "it."
To kill such a creature
would require nerves of steel
and...
...a bullet. (THUNDER RUMBLES)
A bullet? (THUNDER RUMBLES)

you've rather let me down with this beastly beast business.
- (SIGHS) I suppose I have. - Yes.
It's obvious to me that you have absolutely no idea
where this poor creature is.
And I'm afraid you've given me no option
but to let Victor shoot the poor thing.
(STAMMERS) Shoot it?
(SNIFFLES) Yes. Wasn't an easy choice,
but the veg competition has to come first.
Besides, Victor's promised me it won't suffer.
It will be quick and painless.
How thoughtful.
I cannot deny it was a difficult decision for me.
Because I've recently developed...
Hurry!
...feelings for you.
Feelings? Oh, well, never mind, eh?
- (CHUCKLES) Ta-ra, then. - Wait! Wallace.
I haven't finished yet. There's so much more that needs to be said.
Well, I'll give you a tinkle, shall I?
Can't we at least shake hands? Part as friends?
It's not very convenient at the moment.
Thanks for coming by.
(GASPS) Well, I... I...

VICTOR: That's right, my lovely.
You can say goodbye to your fluffy lover-boy.
(GROWLS)
You gotta help me, Gromit!
Hide me. Anything.
Before it's too late!
Lad!
HUTCH: Your Lordship.
(GROANING)

(HUTCH YELPS)
Ooh!
Good night, Gromit.

'Tis done.
(SOBBING)
My poor sensitive child.
Allow us all to share in your moment of sorrow.
Yeah!
(ALL CHEERING)
On with the show!
Huh? What the...
Why you...
(PHILLIP BARKING)
(FIREWORKS BURSTING) (PHILLIP GROWLS)
(CONTINUES BARKING)
VICTOR: Of course.
The vegetable competition.
Your loyalty is moving.
Sadly, you won't be.
Come along, Phillip.
Everyone's been looking forward to a good show.
Let's see they get one.
(FIREWORKS CONTINUE BURSTING)

(ALL CHEERING)
Hooray! Mr. Growbag.
I... I have a hunch this'll be a night to remember. (LAUGHS)
I just have a hunch.
All right. All right. If we must do this flipping veg show,
let's do it in an orderly and law-abiding fashion.
Cucumbers, give way to marrows.
Carrots, wait your turn!
- Aubergines... - VICTOR: A-ha! There's our bait, Phillip.
All we have to do now is wait for our fluffy friend to appear.
(EXCLAIMS) (GASPS)
Look over here, everyone! It's Victor!
He's here! Our hero.
Please, sir, kiss my baby.
Another time, perhaps. Kiss my potato.
Not now. Kiss my artichoke.
Look, just... Victor.
Campanula!
Victor, I have to know. Did it suffer?
Of course not, my dear. Not yet, anyway.
Victor? Oi, you.
Constable. Careful with them capsicums.
Listen, I don't want to cause panic, but the beast isn't actually dead yet.
The beast isn't actually dead yet? What?
(ALL GASP)
(LIGHT BUZZING)
(WIND BLOWING)
Oops.
(ALL SCREAMING) To the competition stand!
(CREAKING)
(CLATTERS)
HUTCH: Cracking toast, Gromit.
I'm just crackers about cheese.
Monterey Jack. Ooh!

Smashing Wensleydale.
Whoa!
(BLUBBERS)
(WHOOPING)
Ooh!
Job well done, lad. (CHUCKLES)
(BEEPING)
(ALL CLAMORING) VICTOR: Quiet!
Quiet!
(FIRES GUN)
Now, listen carefully.
I've only got two...
I've only got one gold bullet left.
So leave this to me. (ALL CHATTERING)
Yes, all right, I admit the beast is still at large.
But the good news is your prize vegetables are the perfect bait...
"Bait"?
VICTOR:...and will draw the creature like a magnet.
But you must keep perfectly still... My baby.
VICTOR: Don't finch...
There, there, love. It'll be all... Huh? Don't even move a muscle.
Mrs. Mulch! No!
It's not getting my baby!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Lovely food. For rabbits, that is.
Come back! Come back!
(ALL SHOUTING)
(RATTLING)
Yes. Right on cue.
(RUMBLING)
WOMAN: Come back!
ALL: Come back!
(GASPS) ALL: Go away!
That's right. Come to Uncle Victor.
(WHIMPERING)
MAN: It's coming for us!
(WHIMPERS)
VICTOR: Bingo.
(GASPS) What the...
(GRUNTS)
Hurrah for Anti-Pesto!
It's getting away! Get off, you stupid...
No!
Vicar, I need more gold bullets.
They don't come cheap, you know.
(WALLACE GRUNTING)
Victor? What are you doing?
I need it, my sweet. Emergency.
- TOTTINGTON: Victor, no! Please! - Come, now, Campanula, let go.
TOTTINGTON: But it's my Golden Carrot Award.
This is hardly the time, my darling.
Give it to me this instant! But Victor!
Cheese, Gromit.
The Golden Carrot belongs in the show!
No, the Golden Carrot belongs in the Were-Rabbit.
Huh? (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
(GRUNTS)
Every man for himself! (YELPS)
Help! Help! Help me!
(VICTOR GROANS)
Put me down at once, you great, big, hairy thing, you!
Stop! Stop!
Mob supplies! Get your angry mob supplies here.
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
Put her down, you great ugly brute!
(BOTH SCREAM)
I'll bagsy the lucky rabbit's foot.
(TOTTINGTON SCREAMING)
Help me, someone! Help me!
Yes.
(GROWLING)
(GRUNTING)
Huh?
No. No, no, no!
(SCREAMING)
(BLUBBERING)
Huh?
(HOWLING) Huh?
(ALL HOWLING)
(GROWLS) Hmm?
Grr.
(SCREAMS)
Put me down! Put me down, you...
Whatever you are! Help!
(GASPING)
(PANTING) What is it?
What are you staring at with those beastly eyes?
Huh?
(GROWS SOFTLY)
(GASPS)
Wallace.
(DINGING)
(GASPS)
(GROWLS)
Oh, Wallace.
What ever have you done to yourself?
Well, don't you worry. I'll protect you.
(DINGS) (BOTH GASP)
Get your hairy mitts off my future wife, you big brute.
TOTTINGTON: No! Victor!
You don't understand. The hunt is off.
(STAMMERS) It's... We made a terrible mistake.
Oh, no. You commissioned me to rid you of Pesto,
and that's just what I intend to do.
Oh! Huh?
"Pesto"?
Why, you knew it was Wallace all along.
(GROWLS) Oh, all right.
So what if it is that blithering idiot. (GASPS)
No one will ever believe you.
And if I can't have your money, I can still bag your bunny.
(LAUGHS) (GASPS)
(WHIMPERING)
(SCREAMS) My eyes!
Run, rabbit, run!
(ROARS)
(GRUNTS) (SCREAMS)
(WHIMPERING) Hmm.
I rather like your hair pinned back.
No, Victor, no! Stop! Please!
Victor! Ha!
You can hop, but you can't hide, Pesto.
(LAUGHING)
(YELPING)
(GASPS)
(ALL GASP) Beware the moon!
Stupid interfering mutt.
Ha! (LAUGHS)
Huh?
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
(GASPS)
(WHIMPERING)
(ALL GASP)
Stand back! There may be a large rabbit dropping!
(LAUGHING) Looks like the buck stops here.

(LAUGHING) No one beats Victor Quartermaine!
Is that so?
Huh? (GROANS)
Consider yourself dumped. (SCOFFS)
(THUDDING)
(CHUCKLES WEAKLY)
MAN: He's in there! (ALL SHOUTING)
There he is! Surround him!
There he is! Over there!
VICTOR: Phillip, help me! Phillip!
Do something.
(GROWLS) (SCREAMS)
Destroy! Drive out the monstrosity!
(ALL SHOUTING)
Well, let's see how he likes it.
Wallace?
(GROANING)
(EXHALES)
TOTTINGTON: (SNIFFLING) Oh, Gromit.
Well, at least now he's at peace.
The rabbit's gone.
If only there were a way to bring back Wallace.
(SNIFFLING)
(SOBBING)
(ALL CRYING)
HUTCH: Hee, hee, hee!
Lovely cheese, Gromit.
(SNIFFLING)
Gromit?
Oh, don't forget the crackers.
(SNIFFING)
(MUMBLES)
Cheese?
(GASPS)
Ah!
Cheese! (CHUCKLES)
It's me again. I'm back!
Gromit! You clever mutt.
Well done, old pal!
(LAUGHING)
(ALL CHEERING AND LAUGHING)
Totty! Wallace! You're... Oh!
Oh! Oops. (CHUCKLES)
Thanks, lad. Uh-oh.
Uh... Oh, look!
Well, I think you deserve this, Gromit.
For a brave and splendid marrow.
We've all got a lot to thank you for.
WALLACE: Ah. (CHUCKLES)
Every dog has his day. Hmm?
TOTTINGTON: And thank you, Wallace.
You've saved me from a terrible marriage.
All the same,
it is going to be rather lonely at Tottington Hall now.
(SIGHS)
Unless...
I have a little proposal for you, Wallace.
(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
I'm so thrilled you agreed to go through with this.
Oh, my pleasure, Totty.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
One for the album, Gromit.
Huh? Oh.
I declare this bunny sanctuary officially open.
(ALL CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)
When you're ready, lad.
Fire up the old BV6000.
Oh, it's simply marvelous.
My home, a safe haven for all things fluffy.
(RUMBLING)
I do hope you'll still come visit, Wallace.
I'd rather got used to having you around.
Oh! There'll always be a part of me
here at Tottington Hall. Oh.
Give it some more welly, lad.
(RUMBLING)
Cheese!
(GRUNTS) Ahhh!
