Following the Tiny Toons: Back in Action title sequence. FADE IN with ext ACME LOONIVERSITY. FADE to BUSTER and BABS walking up the stairs and entering the HALLWAY as Buster begins to speak. Babs appears slightly lost in thought. She is walking to Buster's right. BUSTER Hiya, Toonsters! Long time no see! And welcome to Tiny Toons: Back in Action! I'm Buster Bunny. BABS (beat) Oh, and I'm Babs Bunny. BUSTER No relatio-- BUSTER is surprised to be speaking by himself. BABS Ah, yeah, no relation. BUSTER Look, I know it's been a long time since we've done this, Babs, but don't tell me that you've forgotten our routine! BABS No. It's just... I'm confused, Buster. BUSTER takes to the camera slightly as BUSTER So what's new? BABS This is Tiny Toons: Back in Action, right? BUSTER That's what the title card said! BABS Thus a lot of time has passed since we were last "in action", right? BUSTER Uh, that's kinda what I meant by "long time no see"... BABS And we go here to Acme Looniversity to learn the craft so that we will grow up to be successful toons, right? BUSTER Did you figure that out just now? BABS But that's the point, Buster! If we're "back in action" after a "long time" and we're supposed to "grow up"... BABS grabs his shoulder to stop them walking. BABS ...why are we still like this? We should have aged! BUSTER looks up slightly, staring slightly above BABS's head with a somewhat dazed expression. BUSTER Uh... BABS I mean, by now, I should look more like this... BABS does a spin-change. When she stops, she has grown taller, is more developed -- honestly much like a pink Lola Bunny, complete with revealing outfit. She holds a rather sultry pose. BUSTER's face is now even more dazed. He's looking up with his mouth open, completely dumbfounded. Maybe even slightly drooling. BUSTER Uh buh... humma... mumma... BABS sees Buster's face and immediately drops her pose. Her shoulders droop, she rolls her eyes and shakes her head in a "Boys; go fig!" sort of expression, before spinning back the opposite way, returning to normal. BUSTER's gaze has not changed, however. He's still looking up (i.e., over Babs' head), agape. BABS, confused, leans forward and waves her hand once in front of Buster's face as she says softly BABS Buster...? A voice is heard from behind Babs. It is BUGS BUNNY. BUGS (o.s.) Gee, thanks a million, doll. I never thought I'd see THAT today! BABS has a sudden embarrassed shock, as though she's thinking "OMG, did Bugs just see me like that? And he said WHAT about it?" She nervously turns around. As she does CUT TO View from TEACHER'S LOUNGE. We see BUGS BUNNY in the middle of the screen, from behind, shoulders and above. To his right, the smoked glass of the top part of the open door reads "FACULTY LOUNGE" (important for exposition, as was Babs' earlier line about Acme Loo). BABS in the hallway is seen in the b.g. as she completes her turn to face Bugs. PAN LEFT, taking the door out of shot to the right, moving BUGS to the right edge of the picture. As we pan, we reveal BUSTER in the b.g. still next to BABS, same expression on his face. Continue pan until we reveal what Buster is looking at: LOLA BUNNY stands just outside the door, handing a briefcase to Bugs. (Perhaps add a tag to the briefcase to make it entirely clear that it belongs to Bugs and contains class material.) BUGS takes the briefcase from LOLA as he continues. BUGS I'd forget my own tail if it weren't screwed on. LOLA lifts a hand once more, holding BUGS' TAIL. It is complete with a screw connector like an incandescent bulb. BUGS has a sudden embarrassed shock exactly like Babs had seconds earlier. He turns his head only slightly to the left, not able actually to look behind himself, but does move his eyes entirely left, nervously aware of what must be going on behind him. As he does this TRUCK OUT to reveal first that Bugs has a socket where his tail should be, and finally settling after it has revealed other members of the FACULTY snickering at Bugs. Faculty should include at least DAFFY DUCK, PORKY PIG, YOSEMITE SAM and FOGHORN LEGHORN. CUT TO Back in the HALLWAY, we've now got BUSTER and BABS in the f.g. with LOLA and BUGS (in the doorway) in the b.g. Immediately upon cutting to this shot, full-tilt laughter breaks out inside the lounge, which we hear muffled from our new location. The laughter continues for the remainder of the scene, with occasional, barely audible interjections throughout the rest of the scene which reinvigorate the laughter. Interjections will be things such as: --- DAFFY --- Get a load of Mister Perfect! --- YOSEMITE --- What are ya, the Bionic Bunny? --- PORKY --- I'm think I'm g-g-gonna wet myself! --- FOGHORN --- Ah say, that's a nice piece o' tail ya got there, boy! --- That's a joke, son! --- DAFFY --- Stop it; I'm dyin'! LOLA pecks BUGS on the cheek (maybe -- how much do we want to insinuate that they are, in fact, a couple?) and begins to walk down the hallway toward the exit. BUSTER still is agog, but now slowly turns, keeping his gaze fixed on LOLA as she walks o.s. BABS finally realizes that Buster never noticed her at all; he was looking at Lola the whole time. She grabs him by the shoulders and shakes him out of his ogle. BABS Buster!!! CUT TO two-shot of BUSTER and BABS as we started the scene. BUSTER has come to, and brings his attention back to Babs. BUSTER Oh, you were saying something? Something about, uh... BUSTER turns his head slowly back in the direction where Lola had gone. BUSTER ...action? BABS is completely miffed now. She grabs hold of the top of BUSTER's ears with her left hand and pulls him along as on a leash, continuing their walk in their original direction into the depths of the school. On "buster" she is speaking as a form of address rather than his name. BABS I think you've had enough "action" for today, buster!
