"Chad the lad! Why didn't you tell the man to put the check in our letterbox?" said Jeremy.

"Dat's mailbox, Lord Wellington!" said Brer Rabbit. 

"Don't blame me! Brer Rabbit's the one who got us caught" said Chad.

"Oh sure! Blame de rabbit! Why dint Brer Jeremy hire de guy like I told 'im to?" said Brer Rabbit.

"You know I only ask for post on important matters!" said Jeremy. 

"Wut's takin' up yo space? All doze pie recipes?" Brer Rabbit bickered. 

"Ugh! This wouldn't have happened if Chad wasn't faffing around with that sheep" said Jeremy. 

"Excuse me! I'm no sheep faffer! Besides, she can't help being so cute" said Chad. 

Brer Rabbit looked to see that Woolly was no longer in her pen. 

"Uh... I dunno wut faffin' is, but dat sheep is gone" he said.

"Gone? She can't be gone" said Chad.

"Chad, the door's open. I think she escaped" said Jeremy.

"Oh dear! We've lost Woolly" said Chad with fear. 

"Don't worry, Brer Chad. I tink I found a manu'l dat helps find sheep" said Brer Rabbit. 

He handed Chad the manual. 

"Brer Rabbit. This manual is for sheets. How is breathable cotton going to help us?" said Chad.

"Well, if we don't find Woolly, it'll help us get a betta night sleep" said Brer Rabbit. 

In the sauna, Burt was trying to break open the door. 

"My fur feels really bad. Duz it look bad?" said Brer Bear.

"Uh... bad is such a subjective word" Burt sugar-coated.

"But it's de right one" said Brer Fox.

"I gotta get outta here!" said Brer Bear. 

"Don't worry, Brer Bear. I'll save us" said Burt. 

He tried to kick the door down again, but ended up hurting his foot. 

"Brer Burt, you tryna break open dat door is like an ant tryna push a train" Brer Fox laughed. 

"Well, what are you doing to help?" said Burt.

"I's providin' hilarious commentary" said Brer Fox.

"Who cares? We's trapped because Brer Burt wuz so concerned about his stupid pores!" said Brer Bear.

"A dirty pore makes a dirty man! I have to stay cool somehow" said Burt. 

"Well, how's dat workin' out fo ya, Brer Burt? We should turn off de heat" said Brer Fox.

"Wut's de point? De frizz train has left de station" said Brer Bear. 

Brer Fox tried turning off the heat, but ended up breaking the thermostat off the wall.

"Uh-oh... I tink I broke de thermostat" said Brer Fox. 

"We's all gonna die in here!" Brer Bear sobbed.

"Holy thermal measuring device destruction! We're gonna have to sharpen one of these sauna rocks and use it to cut a hole out of here" said Burt. 

"Would dat work?" said Brer Fox.

"It better. I don't have my Bat-scalpel in my utility belt" said Burt.

"Cou'se you don't! All you got is bats in yo belfry" said Brer Fox.
