The place, Warner Bros. Studios. The time, fall 1997.
Inside the studio, everyone was hard at work on one of their upcoming films.
Well, almost everyone.
Daffy Duck watched the hustle and bustle from inside his makeshift trailer, angry with the fact that he was not chosen to star in any movie. But what increased his jealousy was the fact that Bugs Bunny, one of the most popular Looney Tunes of all time, was going to star in one of these upcoming movies, and not him.
"I should be in those movies! Not some stupid rabbit!" he proclaimed to himself. "It's time the boss casted someone else for a change!"
So Daffy marched over to the casting director's office and demanded to be part of those feature films.
"If anyone deserves to be in the movies, it should me and only me!" he added.
"But, Daffy our cast lists are all filled up." explained the casting director.
"I don't care!" shouted Daffy. "Get me on one of those cast lists and I mean now!"
"OK, OK, just calm down." said the casting director. "Let me call the Warner Brothers and they'll see what they can do."
Daffy paced back and forth outside the office impatiently when the casting director called him back in.
"I believe we've found the perfect film for you." he said.
Daffy's face lit up. Finally, he was going to star in his own movie.
"But there's a catch." the casting director went on. "You'll have to star alongside Bugs Bunny."
At the mere mention of that name, Daffy's smile changed to a frown. An angry one.
"Never!" he shouted, storming out of the office. "I refuse to be in a flim with a show-stealing, carrot-chewing hasbeen!"
"I'm afraid it's either that or you won't be in the film." said the casting director.
Daffy stopped in his track upon hearing that and thought about it.
On the one hand, he gets to be in a movie. On the other hand, he has to do so with Bugs Bunny, his sworn enemy.
He slowly turned around and walked up to the casting director's desk, saying, "If you give me more screen time than that rabbit, you've got a deal."
