  • [Toad enters Rat and Mole's house and faints] 

    Mole : Why... it's a poor old lady. Let's move her over by the fire.

    [They move Toad, then his chain ball lands on Rat's foot] 

    Rat : Oww! Toad! What are you doing here?

    Mr. Toad : Well, I just, um... sort of...

    Mole : Well, this is a merry Christmas... but aren't you afraid of the police?

    Mr. Toad : Afraid of the police?

    [laughs] 

    Mr. Toad : I, Toad, afraid of the police?

    [he laughs some more, then a loud knock and yelling comes from the door] 

    Angus MacBadger : [from behind the door]  OPEN UP! OPEN UP, I SAY!

    Mr. Toad : [mortified]  THE POLICE!

  • Angus MacBadger : [whispering]  Careful, lads. There's a guard.

    [Toad whips out a rifle] 

    Mr. Toad : [shouts]  I'll pop him off!

  • [while trying to get Toad Hall in order, MacBadger gets interrupted by two knocks on the door, the second one, thankfully, from Rat and Mole] 

    Angus MacBadger : Oh, it's you, Rat. And Mole, too. Thank goodness, lads. You've come at last.

    [they go into Toad Hall] 

    Narrator : Poor MacBadger, he'd reach the end of his rope, or as he said himself...

    Angus MacBadger : I'm practically a nervous wreck.

    Rat : I say, MacBadger, what seems to be the trouble?

    Angus MacBadger : [upset]  Something's got to be done about Toad! This time, he is goin' too far!

    Mole : But he promised us.

    Angus MacBadger : Promises? Ha! What good are his promises when these wild manias take him? Now look, you're his closest friends, are you not?

    Rat : Yes.

    Mole : Very dear friends.

    Angus MacBadger : Then, lads, you've got to find Toad and stop him.

    Rat : What's he doing?

    Angus MacBadger : He's got a new mania. He's rampagin' about the county in a canary yellow gypsy cart with a horse named Cyril.

  • Prosecutor : As trustee of the Toad estate, were you aware of the defendant's mania for motorcars?

    Angus MacBadger : Well, I...

    Prosecutor : And that, due to his reckless behavior, you had cut off his allowance?

    Angus MacBadger : Well, I...

    Prosecutor : And that he was, to the best of your knowledge, without funds?

    Angus MacBadger : Well, I...

    Prosecutor : That is all! Thank you.

  • Angus MacBadger : Aye, lads, I've just made a very important discovery.

    [as he speaks, we cut to Toad Hall, where Winky and the weasels are living now] 

    Angus MacBadger : Toad Hall is ablaze with lights. And in possession, a pack of weasels. And the leader of the gang is none other than Mister...

    Weasels : Winky!

    [Winky shows he has the deed to Toad Hall] 

    Weasels : Hip hip hooray!

    [end of flashback] 

    Angus MacBadger : And so you see, he DID trade Toad Hall for the motorcar.

    Rat : Then, Toad was innocent all the time.

    Angus MacBadger : Aye, lads, and if only he were here right now...

    [Toad, who was clinging to the top of the Christmas tree, suddenly falls into MacBadger's arms] 

    Angus MacBadger : Toad!

    Mr. Toad : [happily]  Angus!

    Rat : Sorry, Toad. I misjudged you.

    Mole : I hope, someday, you'll find it in your heart...

    Mr. Toad : Tut, tut. Not another word. To err is human to forgive...

    Angus MacBadger : [dropping Toad on the ground]  Thaddeus, not so fast! You're still guilty in the eyes of the law. To prove your innocence, we've got to get that paper away from Winky! Now, I have a plan. We'll sneak in through the secret tunnel...
