"Rat and Pig have found a money tree" Rat: Okay, Pig, now that we've found the money tree. We have to guard against anyone else finding it. But in a smart, subtle way that doesn't arouse suspicion. Goat: Hey guys, what are you - whoa, is that money up - *CRACK* Rat: Remember - he got hit by a very large coconut.

You can’t leave all that cash lying around and not expect people to notice it.

They should buy the land it’s on and build a big fence. Then invest in fertilizer.

Surprised Rat hasn’t tried taking Pig out already. It is in his greedy nature not to share with anyone, after all.

Very subtle. Rat. Especially since there are no coconut palms around there….

Rat might never sleep again. He will need to stay up all night every night to protect the tree.

Pull up an easy chair and sit yourself down and lean backWhile we tell ya about the folks who live in the town of GreenbackThey never have to work on their hands and kneesCause they live in a place where money grows on trees
Oh the Money Tree, the Money TreeIt’s a beautiful sight to see.Why couldn’t it happen to you and me
There isn’t a person in town who isn’t a regal spenderAnd they never wear a frown for lack of that legal tenderThey’re all ten years ahead on their income taxAnd the whole town’s driving next year’s Cadillacs
Well it grows fresh new bills that snap and crackAs fast as you pick ‘em it grows ’em backEvery day there’s a bumper cropWith a million dollar bill way up on top
Now there is just one way to visit the town of GreenbackPull up an easy chair and sit yourself down and lean backThen close your eyes and suddenly you will seeThat beautiful, lovely, wonderful Money Tree!
( Patience & Prudence lyrics )

Rat wouldn’t know subtle if it painted itself purple, danced on a piano and sang “subtle plans are here again”!— apologies to Sir Edmund

In the movie, “It Grows On Trees”, the bills dried up as leaves do, and broke and crumbled.

Goat should have been around in Family Guy when Peter Griffin threw all of the taxpayer’s money from the blimp.xxx

My problem with this strip is that hitting Goat in the head should NOT knock him out – what do you think goats do with those horns anyway – they knock other goat’s heads around.
