[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!

[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...
