- Ralph Raccoon: [reading the paper] It's an outrage!
- Melissa Raccoon: What?
- Ralph Raccoon: Thousands of the forest trees have disappeared!
- Bert Raccoon: [blearily gesticulating] Well, maybe, uh, they've gone on a... Christmas vacation!
- Bert Raccoon: How do we know there's not a fire down there?
- Melissa Raccoon: No smoke!
- Bert Raccoon: It could be a small fire...
- Cedric Sneer: Pop, we should have stopped at our quota! I told you so!
- Cyril Sneer: You ungrateful ingrate! Why do you think I slaved away to make money all these years?
- Cedric Sneer: Greed?
- Cyril Sneer: Greed? Never! I did it all for you! For you and you precious college education!
- [Bert is moved by this and starts to cry]
- Ralph Raccoon: Are you kidding?
- Cyril Sneer: I ask you, is it wrong for a father to want to give his son the good life?
- Bert Raccoon: [burying his face in Ralph's chest] It's so sad...
- Cyril Sneer: And after all, what are a few trees?
- Cedric Sneer: "A few trees"? A forest is more than "a few trees"!
- Cyril Sneer: Who's counting?
- Cedric Sneer: Actually Pop, the exact number you chopped down was...
- Cyril Sneer: Shut up, you fool!
- Melissa Raccoon: [throwing a snowball in Cyril's face] Take that!
- Cyril Sneer: [spluttering] You crazy dame!
