The next day the guys the bad guys and Diane go on a road trip out of LA in the country state where mr fox is currently living.

"Where are we going Diane?" Princess asked.

"We're going to see my old friend princess"

But when she arrives at the old fix home, she finds out he no longer lives there.

"Mr fox? That's weird he used to live here"

Then wolf finds a letter on the tree, "maybe this might tell us" he hands her the note.

And it states he has managed to save up money to buy him and his family a new home which is a tree.

"Don't buy this tree, Foxy. You're borrowing at nine-and- a-half with no fixed rate, plus moving into the most dangerous neighborhood" in the country for someone of your type of species"

"You're exaggerating, Badger. I'm sugarcoating it, man. This is Boggis, Bunce and Bean-- three of the meanest, nastiest, ugliest farmers in the history of this valley"

"Really? Tell me about them"

"All right. Walt Boggis is a chicken farmer, probably the most successful in the world. He weighs the same as a young rhinoceros. He eats three chickens every day for breakfast, lunch, supper and dessert. That's 12 in total per diem, Nate Bunce is a duck and goose farmer. He's approximately the size of a potbellied dwarf, and his chin would be underwater in the shallow end of any swimming pool on the planet. His food is homemade donuts with smashed up goose livers injected into them. Frank Bean is a turkey and apple farmer. He invented his own species of each.
He lives on a liquid diet of strong alcoholic cider which he makes from his apples. He's as skinny as a pencil, as smart as a whip and possibly the scariest man currently living. The local human children sing a kind of eerie little rhyme about them. Here, listen to this"

CHILDREN: ♪ Boggis, Bunce and Bean ♪ ♪ One fat, one short, one lean ♪

♪ These horrible crooks, so different in looks ♪ ♪ But nonetheless equally mean.

"In summation, I think you just gotta not do it, man, that's all"

"I understand what you're saying, and your comments are valuable, but I'm gonna ignore your advice. The cuss you are"

"The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me?"

"No, you cussing with me? Don't cuss and point at me"

"If you're gonna cuss with somebody, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss" both snarling, hissing.

"Just buy the tree"

"Okay. Take a left, and then to the right. Set them down. There's another batch. Help that other guy over there"

"Lift with your legs, not with your back. Flip it sideways. Don't try to be a superman here. All right, we got two circuits here. We got the yellow circuit, the green circuit"

"Let's just keep them separated. Hold it right there. We need to bring about two percent more in. Good. Here we go. A little bit more"

"A little bit more. Looks good. Let's get that bottom structure really settled in. Let's bring in the side unit. Watch out"

"Try to be careful of the branches here, guys. Don't-don't peel away the bark"

When she arrives at his new house, she saw him and his family trying to unpack.

"Mr fox" Diane gets up and honks the horn.

"Huh? Diane?" It caught his attention, and when he saw her, he was surprised and dropped his box.

"DIANE?"

"MR. FOX"

The two ran to each other and hugged, he lifts her up and spins her around.

"Oh Diane it's so good to see you" but he was even more surprised to see her has grown, "you..grown, wow you really have grown, your not a cub anymore, you're a fox, wow"

"You're a woman now, just wow"

"What's the matter Mr fox can't handle the fact that your apprentice is grown up now"

"Yeah"

"Diane" Mrs fox hugs her who is surprised that she is grown.

"Who you grown your a women now"

"Hi Mrs fox so go to see you again"

"Oh please honey, call me Meryl"

"It's really great to see you again Diane"

"You too Mr fox I got your note I thought I could help you and your family"

"Oh sure thing Diane"

"Oh Mr fox there is someone I want you to meet"

She motions her hands to the bad guys, "this is Mr shark Mr snake miss tarantula or webs for short and Mr piranha and this is princess my daughter"

She pulls princess and Mr fox bows down to rub her head.

"Whoa, well hello little one, aren't you a cutie" then princess giggles.

She pulls Mr wolf's arm,,"oh and I also want you to meet my husband: Mr wolf"

"Hey how ya doing"

However mr fox is shocked to meet the one and only mr wolf.

"You-you're-you're the big bad wolf...Mr wolf, you're Mr wolf...YOUR MR WOLF!"

"Uh...yes"

"Ah" then Mr fox starts shaking his hand rapidly.

"I have to say it is such an honor to finally meet you, I am just a huge fan of your work, can I offer you a drink"

"Just bourbon for me"

Once everything was packed, wolf and Mr fox have a drink inside.

"I have to say it is huge an honor to meet you, I love your work, you were the best skill as a thief the greatest bad guy whoever lived, I'm impressed Diane you did me proud and bagged yourself a bad guy I'm proud"

"Thank you Mr fox" Diane says.

"Why thank you Mr fox I see my reputation proceeds me, I guess I was the greatest wasn't I, or...so I was"

"What do you was?" Mr fox chuckled.

"oh well you see I'm retired" that last echoes in his head.

"Wh-what?"

"What do you mean retired"

"Me and the guys given up being bad guys, time to move on I suppose, I have this one to thank" he picks up princess.

"I guess that's how it started, I fell in love with diane a saved this little girls life from her abusive father so now we're no longer bad guys"

But the horrid look on Mr fox's face had Diane concerned.

"Mr fox what exactly did you heard about me?" She asked.

"That you became the crimson paw"

"Was the crimson paw, now I'm the govnor"

He felt his whole world turned upside down, Mr fox was outside, it was dark when he was visited by Mr wolf, who offered him a drink.

"Beer?"

"Thanks"

"Who am I, wolf?" Mr fox asked.

"What now?"

"Why a fox? Why not a-a horse or a beetle or a bald eagle? I'm saying this more as, like, existentialism, you know? Who am I, and how can a fox ever be happy without a-- you'll forgive the expression-- a chicken in its teeth? I don't know what you're talking about"

"Yes I do, I know what you are going through it's not easy being retired but what's good being a criminal when all you ever all is just a monster, sure the thrill of it was good but it doesn't feel as much good waking up to see a pair of eyes of a child who sees as something more"

Princess was passing by and placed a flower on flower then she runs inside.

but when Mr fox  spots the three farmers farms the old spark kicks in and wants some help from diane and the bad guys to pull of three big jobs before he goes into retirement.

"Here, put this bandit hat on"

"Uh why?"

"Just trust me, and don't wear it around the house. And so it begins"

"What begins"
