The documentary you're about to see
is based on an incredible true story.
Some have said it's more incredible than true,
and, to tell the truth,
that may or may not be true.
But, while not all of it may be,
or may not be, true, most of it is.
Oh, okay, "most" might be an exaggeration.
Let's just say that a great deal
of this incredible true story is true.
How much is hard to say.
A number of the events that happened,
or might have happened,
in, uh, this incredibly true story
certainly could have happened,
and they may have.
We just can't prove it.
However, one thing's for sure.
While the events in this incredible true story
may or may not have happened as shown here
in this incredible true story,
there are definitely several elements
in this incredible true story
that have definitely happened.
Somewhere.
To someone at one time or another.
Therefore, it is with great pride
that the producers...
not all of them, but some of them...
well, at least one of them...
is, or are, proud
to present the following incredible
and quite possibly true story.
♪ ♪
I'm Steve Schmidt for ANC News
on the campus of Lawrence University
in beautiful Appleton, Wisconsin.
This is where everything began
for Appleton's own Bucky and the Squirrels,
the one-hit-wonder rock group, who,
back in the 1960s, skyrocketed to the top
with their number-one dance hit, "Do the Squirrel."
Tragically, in the winter of 1968,
while on their maiden European promotional tour,
the chartered plane that carried Bucky and the Squirrels
vanished, never to be seen or heard from again.
That is, until today.
Here, live from Switzerland, is Mitchell Friedman
with more on this developing story.
Mitchell?
Mitchell: Uh, thank you, Steve.
As you can see, or maybe not,
I'm here in the middle of a raging blizzard
six kilometers north of the famed Zermatt ski resort,
where, only hours ago, the storm uncovered
what has just been positively identified
as the remains of the plane that took the lives
of the American rock group Bucky and the Squirrels. (loud background noise)
I... I apologize about the noise.
What you hear in the background is snow removal equipment
working to free the partially buried wreckage,
which, as I understand, remarkably,
is in near pristine condition.
(indistinct shouting)
Okay, thank you, Mitchell.
For Bucky and the Squirrels, it all began here
in beautiful Appleton, Wisconsin.
Amber: Appleton, Wisconsin, is located here,
in Appleton, Wisconsin.
Before the Squirrels were alive,
Appleton was known for three really awesome things:
Lawrence University,
the second-oldest co-educational
boys and girls college
in the United States of America,
and for being the hometown
of writer Edna Ferber
and escape artist Houdini.
Houdini is the man on the right.
Edna Ferber, or "Edna" as her friends called her,
was a short story writer.
Edna wasn't short, her stories were.
Except, of course, for the ones that were long.
Anyway, in 1968,
all that changed about what Appleton was famous for
when the Squirrels had an awesome dance hit.
The Squirrels were Phillip Westerbrook,
Randy Cunningham,
Douglas Wilson,
and Thomas "Bucky" Fuller.
And they became childhood friends
when they were children.
Here's a picture of them back then.
Over the years, they grew older.
And in addition
to the many awesome things they had in common...
like being friends and like being from Appleton
and being in high school together and stuff...
they shared a love of rock-and-roll music
and formed a rock-and-roll band.
They decided to call the band the Appletones, so they did.
They played locally at local clubs.
But they were so bad
that they not only had to play for free,
they even had to pay to get in, too,
which really sucked.
After a couple of years,
suddenly they met a talent agent named Mort Fishbeck,
who was a talent agent.
Because many successful bands back then had animal names,
such as...
...Mort changed their name from the Appletones
to the Squirrels.
Then they wrote "Do the Squirrel,"
which was an original song they wrote themselves.
They probably would have written some more,
but they couldn't because they died first.
A big thanks
to Harvey Weinstein,
whose father does videos
for weddings
and Jewish bar mitzvahs,
who helped me
put this thing together.
Thanks again, Harvey.

You already know that they died in a plane crash.
Well, something almost worse happened to them
before they died.
When they were performing at a club,
someone put something into everyone's drinks,
and a couple of months later,
a waitress said one of the Squirrels, Phil,
knocked her up.
Everybody was so out of it.
Nobody could remember.
So Phil married her.
Here's the wedding invitation they used to invite people.
Once that was over, Mort got the Squirrels
on a local TV teen dance show in Appleton,
hosted by host Dave Madden.
(cheering)
Let's hear it for our guests today,
Bucky and the Squirrels.
(applause)
No offense, but how the heck do you talk with these things?
Uh, those are fake and these are real.
Good point. Now, which one of you is Bucky?
Only kidding.
Bucky, how about introducing the rest of the band?
Oh, sure. Phil, this is Randy.
Randy, this is Phil. Doug, Randy, Phil.
Nice to meet you, Randy.
If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you a question.
Now, many groups, bands... groups, if you will...
have members who are related to each other.
Brothers, sisters, cousins.
Are any of you related?
All: No.
Okay.
I understand one of you just got married.
Which one of you is Phil?
(girls giggling)
(clears throat) That's me.
Oh! So who's the unlucky girl?
Only kidding. Who's the lucky girl?
Ah, don't be shy. Tell us all about it.
Well, not all about it, because we are on TV.
Let's start with how you met.
It's a very long story, so...
probably don't have enough time, we should probably skip that...
(whispering) He knocked up a waitress.
Phil: ...a little bit.
Girl: I wonder why. Tell us.
So, um...
So, uh...
Oh, how about favoring us with a performance, Rocky?
It's, uh, Bucky.
Uh, right, um, I was confusing you
with Rocky the Flying Squirrel.
You know, Rocky and Bullwinkle?
"Hey, you wanna see me pull a rabbit out of my hat?"
That's Bullwinkle.
Um, I believe it's Rocky.
- No, it's Bullwinkle. - It's Bullwinkle.
Okay, fine, it's Bullwinkle.
I'm sure a lot of people confuse the two, so...
I don't.
No, one's a very tall moose, one's a small...
Fine, great, everybody, Rocky and the Squirrels!
It's Bucky, actually.
(applause)
- Girl 1: Yay! - Girl 2: I love you, Bucky!

Sadly, as we know, Bucky and the Squirrels
never completed their ill-fated tour.
With more on the story, live from downtown Appleton,
here's Barbara Harris. Barbara?
Barbara Harris here in front of Squirrel Mania,
a combination local retail and local shrine
to Bucky and the Squirrels.
Let's look inside.
♪ Grab your girl ♪

Follow me, we're gonna try to get an interview
with Mort Fishbeck, the manager of the Squirrels.
(song continues)
Mr. Fishbeck.
♪ Do the Squirrel ♪
Mr. Fishbeck!
♪ Move it back, move it forth, to the south, to the north ♪

Are you crazy? You scared the hell out of me.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry? I practically wet myself.
You could have just walked up and said,
"Excuse me, Mr. Fishbeck."
I did.
Oh. So, what can I do for you?
Would you mind turning the music down?
Would you mind if I turned the music down?
Hang on a second.
♪ From Maine to California... ♪
Too much loud rock-and-roll.
But I guess if it isn't loud, it isn't rock-and-roll, is it?
Should have worn earplugs.
Reminds me, hang on a second.
Squirrel earplugs.
See? They're shaped like peanuts, get it?
Squirrels, peanuts? Wanna buy some?
Maybe later.
Half off.
Maybe later.
Mr. Fishbeck, I'm sure you know
that the plane that was carrying the Squirrels
was just found.
Yeah, it breaks my heart.
The thought of those kids
frozen for 50 years like Popsicles.
You know, if you don't count my brothers, Sid and Marty,
those boys were the brothers I never had.
I was supposed to be on the next plane.
I still have all their instruments.
Got their clothes upstairs. That's all I've got left.
Can you tell us about the first time you heard the Squirrels?
Oh, awful.
Beyond awful.
Every song, note for note, right off the sheet music.
It was like being trapped in an elevator.
And it is my understanding that in those days,
Bucky was in the background.
Oh, he was so far in the background,
he was in a different zip code.
He was embarrassed because of his buck teeth.
Could open up a pop bottle with 'em.
Pop!
I said to him, "Shmuck!
Being different is a good thing.
It makes you sound different."
I said to him, "You don't want to end up
like the Barlow Brothers, do you?"
Who?
I rest my case.
Oh, and now we go to Steve Schmidt for a news bulletin.
Barbara, I'm sorry to interrupt this incredible interview,
but we've just received an update from the crash site.
Here's Mitchell again with that report.
Mitchell?
Mitchell: Steve, uh, hold on.
The construction crew has just dug the plane
out of the frozen tundra
and is prying the cockpit doors open.
My God, I don't believe it.
Bucky and the Squirrels are encased in ice in the cockpit,
and from what it looks like... yes, this is really scary...
they're perfectly preserved like mummies.
There's a lot of confusion
as paramedics have joined the workers
and they're descending on the crash site.
I'm not quite sure what's going on.
While we wait on that update, here's a sidebar.
British pilot Frank Fowler,
the captain that flew the small chartered plane
carrying the Squirrels to their concert,
panicked and parachuted out of the plane.
He was discovered days later
by the monks at the monastery of St. Benedict.
Out of a great sense of guilt, Frank Fowler joined the order,
took the sacred vow of silence,
and has not spoken a word
for over 45 years.
Oh, just a minute.
I believe we have an update from Mitchell.
Mitchell?
(indistinct shouting)
Mitchell: Th-that's correct, Steve.
Experts in the field of cryonics have just been contacted
and are unanimous in their assessment.
If it is at all possible to revive any of the Squirrels,
the shock of their awakening in unfamiliar surroundings
could cause irreparable psychic damage.
Consequently, it was decided that they be airlifted
back to a facility in their hometown
of Appleton, Wisconsin.
Uh, what you hear in the background
is the arrival of four
CH-47F Chinook cargo evac helicopters.
The ground crew has loaded the entombed frozen bodies
into the aircrafts and they've taken off,
a sight I'm sure
many of your viewers will never forget.
(indistinct shouting)
Man: Here in Appleton Cryonics, we're fortunate in having
some of the world's
most sophisticated defrosting equipment.
(bell dings)
Ice-cold.
But what's the surprise?
Everything in this place is ice-cold.
I'm here with Dr. Albert Fisher,
director of Appleton Cryonics.
I'm sorry, doctor, you were saying?
Uh... Oh, right.
The equipment here is the finest anywhere.
Although, I must admit, until, uh, now,
we haven't had the opportunity
to actually try any of it out.
And I just want to make clear
that we did not freeze the Squirrels.
If they don't, you know, pull through
or end up taking a dirt nap,
well, we're not responsible.
I'm sorry, do you mind my asking
what your specialty is?
Oh, I don't think that's important.
Well, I think our viewers would probably like to know.
Uh, well, I'm not an actual medical doctor.
Okay, then your training is in...?
Something else.
And that would be...?
Uh...
motel management.
Really? Because I would have thought it would be...
No, it's okay, a lot of people make that mistake.
Yeah.
So, what is going on in here?
Uh, uh, research.
On?
You know, scientific stuff.
I try not to get involved.
Uh, here, follow me.
Woman: Dr. Winston, you're wanted in Preservation Lab.
Dr. Winston, you're wanted in Preservation Lab.
Anyone in the vicinity of the Bio Lab,
please report to assistance.
Oh. One second.
Hmm.
Hah! Hmm.
Wait, that's what you call it, "defrosting"?
When you come up with a better name, let me know.
Oh, doctor, I've never seen such elaborate equipment.
So...
what is this large, complex-looking
electronic system in the corner?
Oh, that's our sound system.
When we're not using the equipment to defrost people,
the room doubles as a tanning salon.
Woman: I can't believe what's happening here! You must come and see!
- Man 1: Tissue regeneration... - Man 2: The vitals aren't normal.
Well, I'll be damned.
(frantic, overlapping comments)
L-ladies and gentlemen, what you are witnessing
is truly groundbreaking.
This is a scientific first!
(alarm wailing)
Whoa, what's that?
Oh, that's lunch.
What's today, Wednesday?
Ugh! Split pea soup. Ugggh!
(alarms beeping)
I'm here in the recovery room of Appleton Cryonics,
where, miraculously, all four of the Squirrels
were resuscitated two days ago.
Appleton Cryonics has given us permission to film here
and record the event while they document the recovery
of the Squirrels, for research and insurance purposes.
Let's go to the Squirrels.
(burp)
Good morning!
Good morning.
(clears throat)
Good morning. Can you say good morning?
(Squirrels murmuring)
This is Dr. Adams.
She's our staff psychologist.
(Squirrels mumbling)
I will leave you in her capable hands.
(whispering) Don't leave me.
No, it's okay. You'll be fine.
(Squirrel burps)
Okay.
(belch)
Adams: We all have a lot of work to do.
You're going to have to learn...
or rather relearn... to eat,
to talk, to walk.
(belch)
(sighs)
So...
(gurgling, belching)
(jazz theme song plays)
Back in the '60s, the Squirrels
were unquestionably the most talented rock group ever.
Of course, next to the Beatles.
Which would naturally make the Squirrels
the second most talented rock group ever.
Sorry, I take that back,
the Rolling Stones were around in the '60s.
Which would make the Squirrels
the third most talented rock group ever.
The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and the Squirrels.
Then again, who can forget the Beach Boys?
Apparently, I did, and I'm not gonna do that.
Because when I think about it, I also forgot the Kinks,
uh, Aerosmith and The Who.
But still there's absolutely no doubt
that during the '60s, the Squirrels were clearly,
if not in the top 10, then, minimum, in the top 15.
If you don't count
Jefferson Airplane and Led Zeppelin.
And I think you have to count them.
Uh...
Think you also have to count the Temptations.
And the Miracles. And the Four Tops.
Uh...
Dion & the Belmonts and the Mamas and the Papas.
So, just to be safe, let's say the Squirrels
were unquestionably in the top 20.
Let's be safer, let's make it top 30.
Or 35.
Or... 40.
Because now that I think about it,
there was really a number of great groups in the '60s.
The Four Tops, the Shirelles, the Doors,
Martha and the Vandellas.
Simon and Garfunkel.
Cream.
Jan and Dean.
The Everly Brothers.
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.
Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The Lovin' Spoonful.
Gladys Knight and the Pips.
Gladys Knight without the Pips.
The Pips without Gladys Knight.
Then there were the Doors. Sly and the Family Stone.
The Shangri-Las... that's 456, 7 and 8.
So...
It's just to say, while the Squirrels were good,
they only had one hit, and...
Now that I think about it, they only had one song,
which means that either the back of their record was...
totally blank or it just had "Do the Squirrel" on both sides.
To be honest, I barely remember the song.
I'm not sure I ever really heard it.
I was about 9 when it came out.
And... that was like 50 years ago.
And it was only on the charts for a couple of weeks.
It's not like it was a classic.
I'm guessing, if the Squirrels
hadn't been frozen and defrosted...
nobody would be making a documentary about them.
Do I still get paid for this?
(sighing, mumbling)
Ahhh.
Yaaa.
(straining)
Peekaboo!
(snorting)
Steve Schmidt here at Appleton Cryonics with...
Joyceann Miller.
So tell our viewers, Joyce,
what exactly is it that you do here?
It's Joyceann.
Oh, sorry.
Joyce-Ann, please tell us
what it is that you do here.
Joyceann.
It's all one name.
My mother had a hard time deciding on names.
Everybody gets it wrong at first.
It's the same deal with my brother, Bobdave.
Okay, well, Joyceann...
what exactly is it that you do here?
Nothing yet.
I'm just starting.
But I was teaching movement and music
at the Baby Badgers Preschool over on...
Both: College Avenue.
That's where Dr. Fisher's granddaughter goes.
And he called me up one day and offered me a job
making three times what I had been making,
so I said, yeah, sure.
Yeah, sure.
So, what did Dr. Fisher say the job would be?
So, he said it would be doing
pretty much what I had been doing,
but I'd just be working now with giant toddlers.
Steve Schmidt, ANC News.
Boys, are you ready?
(Squirrels murmuring agreement)
Go!
(rock-and-roll plays)
Okay, come on.
Oh-wo-wo.
Yes!
Oh, we got a leader here.
Anyone gonna beat him?
Without running.
Use your feet.
Use your feet!
Congratulations. Enjoy your treat.
Everybody congratulate your friend.
No grabbing! No, no, no, no.
All right, give that back to him.
That was his win! Bucky, no!
Bucky! Back to him!
Hey, Bucky, I'm not kidding. Back! Open! Open!
Here you go. You did that fair and square.
(Randy howls)
That's right, that's...
Come on. Come on, there you go.
Come on.
Easy.
Pretty, huh?
I'm going to have to... Ooh! come on, Bucky.
Come on, this way. There you go.
On the path, guys. On the path.
There we go!
(Squirrels mumbling)
There you go! Okay.
Yes, that's right, this way.
Come on, up we go.
Come on.
We've got a situation here.
All right, everybody stay. Stay!
Stay, stay!
Stay, Bucky, stay.
Stay. Everybody like this.
Look.
That's good.
(Squirrels laughing)
We got it. There we go!
Well done. Whoops, stay.
Hold on. We got a leash off.
Hold it, stay there, guys! I got it, I got it.
Hold it, hold it.
Well done.
Bucky! Stay!
No bench. Walking time.
(Squirrels laughing)
This way, come on.
Freeze, everybody!
Bucky, stop!
Stay!

Oh, yes, I did.
So... we'll just move on.
What about your background and work

What about it?
Would you tell us about it?
Oh, of course.
I have a doctorate in psychology,
specializing in the field of biopsychology,
and for the past five years, I've been doing
theoretical research, specifically,
on what the psychological ramifications might be
if someone were to be resuscitated
after years of being artificially frozen.
And?
And what are the ramifications?
Oh, um, at this point, we basically don't know.
S...
So, would you say that at this point,
you basically don't know?
That's what I just said.
(whispering) Oh, boy.

Adams: Very good.
Very good.
(sneezes)
You know, the Squirrels really affected me in a big way.
I first heard the Squirrels song,
uh, in an elevator,
uh, going up to the, uh...
to one of several doctor's appointments that I had.
And, uh...
I was feeling pretty good until the song came on,
and I looked around the elevator,
and everyone started doing this dance, the Squirrel dance,
and, uh, I was so shaken by it, I pissed in my pants.
I wore black after I heard the song the first time.
I was a happy guy.
But when I heard that song
and realized how stupid society is
and how they go after such crap...
I mean, they turned my whole life around in a bad way
in college when I heard that song.
I got deeply depressed, and I was basically mourning
for myself for even appreciating that song.
I... I blame them
for all the hundreds of thousands of dollars
that I spent on psychotherapy.
It just triggered something in me, and now they're back.
I'm sorry for rambling because the Squirrels have gotten me...
I'm only doing this because I need some closure
in my life now with this group.
So, you know, I'm very upset.
I'm going to need a little rest
after this interview, to be honest.
Dr. Adams is about to enter the next crucial stage
of the Squirrels' counseling when she reveals to them
the full extent of what has happened to them.
My producers tell me we're about to go live right now.
Yes, we are.
We now cut live to Dr. Adams' office
right n...
now!
First of all,
you have each improved greatly.
You've regained much of your ability to talk
and to walk.
Your cognitive speech patterns and coordination
have all improved greatly.
Well done, everybody.
Thank you.
You're quite welcome.
So are you.
So, I think it's time to explain something to you,
why we have kept you separated
from the rest of the outside world.
It was to be certain that you had the tools
to...
understand, react to, and psychologically deal
with what I'm about to tell you.
Uh-oh.
Why uh-oh?
Bucky's worried, that's why uh-oh.
Well, I'm not worried.
Well, I am.
Well, I'm not.
Well, I am.
Adams: Okay, boys.
I'm not.
But I am.
Adams: Boys, focus, please.
- I'm not. - But I...
Adams: I know.
I need to caution you that, at first,
this may be very difficult
for you to understand and accept.
Okay, now I'm worried.
I am, too.
When your plane crashed
and you were buried in the snow,
it wasn't, as you believe,
for a relatively short time.
It was longer.
Longer?
It was longer?
Adams: Yes, longer.
How much longer?
Like a couple of days longer?
Much longer.
Much longer?
Was it a week lon...
It was longer than a week?
Adams: It wasn't a week.
It was longer. It was...
It was actually...
for almost 50 years.
(chuckles)
No. Seriously.
Adams: Seriously.
No. Seriously.
Adams: Yeah, really, really seriously.
- Seri... - Like...
Seri... Seriously?
Adams: Seriously.
Like, three weeks?
No, Bucky.
50 years.
(symphonic soundtrack swells)
50 years?
50 years.
The shock that the Squirrels had virtually been
in a state of suspended animation
for the last near half-century finally registered with them.
Dr. Adams has spent the last week
giving them a crash course in the last 50 years
of cultural history.
Woman, whispering: This just came in.
This just in.
The pilot of the Squirrels' downed aircraft,
90-year-old Captain Frank Fowler...
now Father Fowler...
has just learned that the Squirrels didn't perish,
but were all found alive.
Now, if you recall, Father Fowler,
out of guilt for parachuting from the plane,
joined a monastic order, took a sacred vow of silence,
and has not spoken in nearly 50 years.
Upon learning the news,
the shock apparently caught the father off guard.
He blurted out "holy shit" and was promptly excommunicated.
Uh, I would like to apologize to the viewers at home
for my language.
I just was...
handed this report directly off the wire.
Did not have a chance to proof it.
I, of course, would never have intentionally
said "shit" on the air.
(whispering) Shit.
We now cut...
live to Dr. Adams' office, where she is completing
her presentation.
So, I know you all must have a bunch of questions.
Who would like to go first?
What's dubstep?
What, and boba ball in the tea?
It's in the tea?
Tell me again what the Kardashians are famous for.
I wanna see Phil Westerbrook.
Uh, excuse me, we're in session.
Can you tell me what this is regarding?
Oh, my God, you look exactly the same.
I mean, exactly!
This is freaky.
This is also very inappropriate. Who are you?
Anna Russo?
I'm Anna Russo, I was his wife.
Your wife. Until you were dead.
And then I took the insurance money and bought a condo.
And you're here because...?
Because my shrink told me that I had to apologize to Phil
for forcing him to marry me.
You have nothing to apologize for.
Oh, yes I do!
Junior, get in here!
I'm sorry. Out!
Adams: Yeah, you just... You should go.
Um...
Why don't you just... you have a seat, honey.
Sit down, sit down.
Yeah, sit down, Phil. Let's move on.
Yeah. Okay.
Well, since we've already had one unannounced visitor,
I might as well tell you that there is someone else
who has been waiting patiently to see you.
Uh, it's actually someone who I think you guys
are going to be very happy to see.
Is it Elvis?
No. It's your agent, Mort Fishbeck.
OMG.
Okay, so you don't actually say that.
It's just for typing.
LOL, LOL.
PPO.
Mr. Fishbeck, if you could...
LPE.
Fishbeck: Be right there.
Here he comes. (chuckles)
Some old guy's wearing Mort's clothes.
No, no, it's me, it's Mort. Remember the Squirrel salute?
All: Mort!
Look at you guys. Oh, look at you guys!
Look at you!
Oh, look at you. Oh, look at you!
Look at you.
Okay.
If I were representing
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir,
I'd be squeezing faces all day!
You remember them, it's like a big group of people,
the Mormon... So, listen...
Besides being frozen in a crashed plane for 50 years, what's new?
I had canned cheese.
I've gotta pee so much!
What is this?
Oh, my landlord won't let me have a cat.
Now, that was a joke. You get it?
No.
Come on, you guys. Gimme a hug.
He's being silly.
Oh, God, oh, that hurts.
Oh, it's Mort.
I can't breathe, hold it. Lean back a little.
...experience in hot and cold protection.
From an independent family-owned business
that's never been afraid to give you
exactly what's right for your engine...
Mort, maybe we could do a commercial for them.
We were frozen, now we're not. Peak Antifreeze.
Mmm, delicious.
No, no, no, you don't drink it. It's antifreeze, it's for cars.
Yeah, it's for cars. Cars drink it.
Yeah, I know. I was being silly.
He was just being silly.
Yeah, Mort, Randy is very good at being silly.
Hey, hey, Mort.
Remember when I was shy, and you said,
"Don't be so shy"?
And then I wasn't shy anymore.
And, Mort, remember when you were gone for like a few months,
and you came back much tanner
and we asked you where you were
and you were like...
(strained voice) "I was..."
Remember?
Yep.
Remember when you said,
"I don't have my wallet, let's get outta here"?
(chuckles)
He said that one a lot.
That was one of his favorites.
Hope he likes the crust.
Give him a bite.
Here.
Aaah!
Oh!
His hair... was that his hair?
His eyebrows are reaching for it.
His hair and his eyebrows are becoming one.
Whoa!
Guys, guys.
He's sleeping.
We can put the naughty channel on.
(chuckles)
(laughing, shouting)
"And then the banks received
another bailout."
When I was a toddler back in Long Island,
there was this sweet little woman
who lived across the hall from us.
Her name was Duda,
and my mom thinks maybe she was Hungarian or something.
Um, anyway, Duda spoke hardly any English,
so all we really knew about her was her name
and that, whenever Duda heard me crying,
she'd rush across the hall and pick me up
and rock me in her arms and sing this Hungarian lullaby.
And miraculously, I'd instantly fall asleep.
Um...
One second, please, I'm sorry.
Um, one day, Duda was gone. She moved away.
And we never heard from her again.
And then recently my mom
saw a picture of the Squirrels on the news
and she remembered that Duda used to have
the same exact picture of the Squirrels
hanging on her wall in her apartment.
Really weird, right?
Um, so, when we heard about this documentary,
we thought that, when it came out,
maybe Duda would go see it and see me in it
and somehow we'd be able to reunite with her.
And with that in mind, here is the lullaby that...
in Hungarian, I think... that Duda used to sing to me.
In pretty much her only English, she called it "Duda's Girl."

Yeah.
These are actually your parents.
Oh.

- I can't! - Yes, you can.
Um, okay, maybe I could have four.
No, just one.
Okay, maybe just two, actually.
No, everyone got just one, okay?
Pick one.
Okay, I'm going to go with that.

Oh, okay.

Oh, yeah, just take that one. That's fine.

Okay, wait.

Bucky!

Bucky!
Aaaah!
Come on, let's go.
Bucky, I really like that shirt on you.
Thanks.
I really like it on me, too.
That's why I put it on me.
Guys, I figured out
why they call underpants underpants.
'Cause they go under your pants.
Oh. Wow.
Wow!
Then why don't they call
the pants you wear over your underpants
overpants?
Hmm.
That's a good question.
No, it's not.
- It's not? - No.
It's a great question.
Randy is very good at asking questions.
Do you know why I'm so good at asking questions?
No, why?
I don't know, I was asking you.
- I got a question. - Uh-oh.
Let's hear it.
If you were stuck on a desert island
and you could only bring 41 things,
what would you bring?
- Underpants. - Toothpaste.
- Maps. - Toothpaste.
- Cold ice cubes. - Maps.
Cold ice cubes.
Clothes.
Maps.
- A book. - A safe.
A book.
How many is that?
If... if...
Who do you think would win in a fight,
a grizzly bear
or a grizzly bear with a mustache?
Is the...
Is the mustache real?
Do you guys ever think
maybe we never made it out of the ice?
Adams, cheerily: Hey, Squirrels!
How are you doin'?
All: Hi!
You guys look so handsome.
- Thank you, you too. - You look so handsome.
- That's a lovely suit. - So handsome, Dr. Adams.
The three buttons, good number.
You're wearing a man's clothes.
Adams: Well, we talked about that.
Women can wear suits.
Bucky: No, they can't.
You guys remember where we're going today?
All: Squirrel Mania!
[cheering]
All right, let me just finish my drink.
- Adams: Okay. - Randy: Put it on this.
Adams: Okay, careful, don't dribble.
Doug: Let's take this with us.
Adams: No, let's leave that. I don't think we need that.
Doug: We can surf it. Whoaaa!
Let's go surfin'.
(burps)
Come on, Buck, we've got ya.
It's pretty big.
(burp)
Guys... okay.
Whoaaaa!
In case I get cold.
His teeth were red.
Adams: We might have to bring an extra diaper.
I'll get 'em.
We're all out!
- Randy, come on! - We used 'em.
- We're leaving, Squirrel Mania. - Oh, yell at the helpful one.
(♪ "Do the Squirrel" playing)
Adams: This is crazy,
the line goes all the way around the block.
How did everybody know we were here?
Social media. Facebook, Twitter.
Don't look at me,
I don't have one of those Internet machine things.
Yeah, you do, it's a computer.
Oh, I do, I have one.
You know, we are more popular, now that we're alive again
than we were when we were alive before we were dead.
I think your brain needs to defrost a little bit.
Yeah.
Oh, hi.
I survived a plane crash.
And who should I make this out to?
IRS.
Iris. Well, that's a pretty name.
Here you go.
You're under arrest.
Steve Schmidt, ANC News,
here at IRS headquarters in Appleton, Wisconsin,
where Bucky and the Squirrels
are being charged with tax evasion
for not filing their taxes in 1968,
the year they disappeared.
If they'd paid their taxes that year,
they would have owed a mere $300 each.
But, after over half a century of interest and penalties,
each of the squirrels now owes $649,000.
And as a group...
or, as they call it in the animal kingdom, a drey of squirrels...
that means they owe $2,596,000,
and are facing at least five years in prison.
I don't want to go to prison.
Who does?
Not me.
Mort, n-none...
None of us wants to go to prison.
Hmm-mm. Who would?
I don't know.
Maybe someone who has friends there?
Or maybe someone who likes the food.
I bet that some people
even like the prison outfits.
I bet some people don't.
So those people probably wouldn't want to go to prison, right?
Unless they liked the food
more than they didn't like the outfits.
When somebody has a birthday in prison,
does everybody get birthday cake
or just that guy whose birthday it is?
Because, with all those prisoners,
that's like six or seven or eight
or nine or ten birthdays a day.
Whoa! That's a lot of cake.
What if somebody got allergic to the cake?
If I was allergic to cake, and I was in prison,
and they tried to make me eat that cake
that I was allergic to, I wouldn't eat it.
Me either.
What could they do to you?
Oh, they could do some stuff.
They could lock you up in timeout.
They could rough you up a little bit.
Maybe give you the hose!
Or... or...
they could take away your birthday cake.
I never thought of that.
I don't... I don't want to go to prison.
Who does?
Not me.
Who would?
M-maybe...
maybe someone who has friends there?
Or maybe someone who likes the food?
I bet that some people
even like the prison outfits.
I bet some people don't.
So those people probably wouldn't want to go to prison, right?
Unless they liked the food
more than they didn't like the outfits.
All right, come on.
Squirrels: Mort... Mort... Mort... Mort.
Adams: Mort!
Bucky: Hi, Mort.
Mort!
Hey, what are you doing to him?
Come on!
Randy: I wanted Mort to stay.
Stay.
Sit down, you're just gonna make things worse.
Doug: I knew that they didn't want Mort here.
Mort! Sneaking's not gonna help. Mort!
Cheese and rice almighty.
(Squirrels chattering)
Stay out!
Careful, he's...
old.
- I don't wanna go to prison. - Who does?
Adams: Just sit, okay?
Behave yourself.
Mort!
Man: Hey, we told you to stay outside.
Bucky: You're back!
(indistinct chatter)
- (sighs) - Bucky: You can have my chair.
Phil: Why are you taking... He has to stay.
Bucky: Bye, Mort.
Sit!
Randy: Who does?
Sit!
Stay!
Doug: Can Mort come back in?
Randy: Can you... can we get our questions answered?
(indistinct chatter)
(sighs)
Mort!
- Bucky: Hi, Mort. - Man: Not again.
Bucky, guys?
Are you okay?
Are you all right?
Uh, Mr. Fishbeck. What happened? What's going on?
The Squirrels are doing a concert.
Ohh!
(blows)
As many of you know, last week the IRS filed a case
against the Squirrels for 50 years of unpaid taxes,
amounting to over $2.5 million.
In an effort to settle the case
and keep the Squirrels out of prison,
Manager Mort Fishbeck has represented that the band
is capable of performing and of earning enough money
to settle their debt with the IRS.
To that end, Manager Mort Fishbeck
has scheduled a test-case performance
right here in the school's alma mater,
Lawrence University.
Several questions remain.
After 50 years encased in solid Swiss ice,
are the Squirrels still capable of performing?
Will they be any good?
And are they headed to stardom again
or simply headed to prison?
We'll find out the hard way.
I'm Steve Schmidt, ANC News.
Okay, 1...
1, 2...
(guitar plays, stops)
1, 2, 3, 4...
(offbeat dissonance)
Ow, ow, ow!
Okay, guys, stop. Stop, stop.
Doug, Doug. Doug, stop, stop.
Stop.
What's the matter?
Doug: I'm sorry, it was my fault.
I couldn't hold onto my... I kept dropping my...
what do you call them?
Uh, the hitters.
Adams: Yeah, drumsticks.
Doug: You'd think I would remember what they were called.
Yeah, don't be so hard on yourself.
It's gonna take a while for things to come back to normal.
Yeah, but you would think that I would remember
what these are called because I use them to play the...
Drums.
The drums.
I always forget
what the strum thing is called.
But other than what's-his-name dropping his whaddya-call-em...
Adams: The drumsticks.
Bucky: Drumsticks, right.
Other than drumsticks dropping his hitters,
what's... how do we sound?
Randy: Yeah, Mort? How are we soundin'?
Phil: Is it good?
Okay, you guys want the truth?
- Yeah. - I'll tell ya.
Mort, can I just have a word with you?
For one second? Just, come on.
(whispering) They are very fragile right now.
I'm fragile, too. My ears are fragile.
I know, but they are looking to you...
They're making me nauseous.
They're not gonna get it.
They're going to get better.
You need to build them up, not break them down.
Build them up.
Okay? Be nice.
Okay.
Guys, guys, look.
I've never lied to you, right?
So I'm gonna be honest with you now.
You need to practice.
Trust me, you can only get better.
And I promise, I will get better when I stop dropping the...
Randy: Hitters.
The hitters! The drumsticks!
Absolutely, absolutely. Practice makes perfect.
You guys, keep playing till I tell you to stop, okay?
Mort, they have more strings than me.
You'll be fine. You've got plenty.
Okay? All right. You guys play.
I'm gonna go take a leak, okay?
Okay, Mort, thank you.
(softly) Which will be a lot more entertaining than what they're doing.
I'm gonna go with him.
Yeah, great.
(whispering) What do you think?
I think they're going to prison.
(offbeat dissonance)
They couldn't be worse if they tried.
Well, they're trying.
Steve Schmidt, ANC News.
Dr. Adams, how would you assess
the Squirrels' progress to date?
Uh...
I don't really feel that I am qualified
to discuss things that have music in them.
(dissonant music playing)
Mr. Fishbeck, sounds as though
the boys are having a tough go of it.
Really? Well, that shows what little you know.
And what little you know, you know even less.
They happen to be saving themselves for the concert.
Well, there you have it.
From this reporter's perspective,
if this concert is as big a disaster
as it seems destined to be, to quote the Beatles,
the Squirrels will have "a ticket to ride"
straight to prison.
And my baby do care.
Phil: I don't wanna go to prison.
Steve Schmidt, ANC News.
(rock guitar plays)
Steve Schmidt, ANC News,
here in the beautiful
Stansbury Theatre
on the campus
of Lawrence University,
where we're just moments away
from the much-anticipated Squirrels comeback concert.
Now, full disclosure.
The building is surrounded by IRS agents.
They're also in the wings,
ready to take the Squirrels into custody
should they not live up to their alleged performance skills.
But we're just gonna think positive,
focus on the Squirrels.
So let's talk to some Squirrels fans right now.
Excuse me, sir, ma'am, what brings you to see the Squirrels?
Well, I dated Bucky when we were in college.
Yeah, and she still has a scar
from a hickey that Bucky gave here.
Ohh!
That's enough.
That is enough.
For live news.
The energy is just electric here.
It's just like an electricity factory...
of fireflies.
Excuse me, miss, what about you?
Me?
Yes. What brings you to see the Squirrels?
Oh, God, um...
Okay, well, basically,
I just wanted to see people
that were like frozen and then like brought back to life.
And also, I kind of have this like crush
on Phil, which I know is weird
because like if he hadn't been frozen,
I mean, which he was, but if he hadn't been,
he'd be like my grandpa's age.
And I know that's weird, but like...
Yay, Lawrence, right?
But Lawrence isn't my grandpa.
That's the school here that unfroze them.
And, um, I'm like super nervous.
Hey, Mom!
Man: Ladies and gentlemen,
if you would kindly turn off your cell phones
and all recording devices.
This is it! The moment of truth!
For the first time in over 50 years...
lost, found, and defrosted...
(drum roll)
Bucky...
(cheers, applause)
Randy!
Phil!
And Doug!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Appleton's own Bucky and the Squirrels!

This is exactly what I was afraid of.
It's very clear to this reporter
that these boys are simply not ready to perform.
And frankly, I'm not sure they ever will be.
The bad news
is that the Squirrels are going to prison.
The good news is that they'll have a minimum
of five to seven years to rehearse.
You know I have a weakness...
(overlapping protests)
Mort: We've gotta get you out of here!
We're not just gonna walk out.
You can't go back out there.
The audience is gonna eat you guys alive.
Can you blame 'em, Mort?
They came here for a show, and that was not a show.
There's no way, Mort. They're right, we're not leaving.
If we just walk away, we'd be throwing away
everything we worked for, and that would be giving up.
And we've never given up, you taught us that.
Mort, Mort, we are never gonna get another chance like this.

No, Dr. Adams, we know, okay?
We know what you're gonna say, we're not gonna walk away.
No, listen to yourselves. You sound normal again.
What are you talking about, Dr. Adams?
Sh-she's right.
Doug: What do you mean she's right?
Oh, my God, she's right. You're right.
I don't get it.
Me either.
I'm guessing the stress of the situation
shocked your systems back to normal.
I thought stuff like that only happened in the movies.
It's happening. I feel good.
You know what, I think we can do this, guys.
I don't know about you, but I'm going back out there.
