Space jam: alex, rachel, and rj's adventure
Ch 3: something is wrong with the looney tunes/ tuneland meeting
(We cut back to the kids as they make their way home still talking about what they saw).
Rj:
Come on guys what if it really was a ufo we just saw?
Alex:
Again rj there are no such things as ufos.
Rachel:
Yeah now quit talking about it and lets get inside.
Rj:
(Sighs) okay. But I know what I saw.
(Alex goes up to their door and knocks on it and their mother comes and answers).
Nancy:
Oh hey kids come on in welcome home.
Alex:
Thanks mom.
(The kids enter their house and sit at the table in their kitchen).
Nancy:
So how was school today?
Alex:
It was okay.
Rj:
We did see a ufo today when we left school today…
(Both rachel and alex cover rj's mouth).
Nancy:
What was that?
Rachel:
Nothing mom.
Alex:
Yeah rj doesn't know what he is talking about, right bro?
(Rj nods his head and Alex and Rachel let go of his mouth).
Nancy:
Okay i guess.
Rj:
Blech! When was the last time u guys washed your hands they smell like garlic.
Alex:
What did we say about the ufo rj?
Rj:
I know but i…
Alex:
No buts bro.
(Just then the door opens and their father comes home).
Alex:
Hey dad.
Harvey:
(Goes over and hugs his boys) hey guys. How was school today?
Rj:
It was okay.
Alex:
Yeah just okay.
Harvey:
Well guess we all can't have exciting days like your dad now can we?
Nancy:
What are you getting at?
Harvey:
I'll tell you later.
(Alex looks at Rachel and signals to talk to her dad).
Nancy:
(Looks at her watch). Oh it's 4:00 isn't it time for the looney tunes?
Rj:
Oh yeah!
Alex:
Man, I cannot wait for the new episode.
(Alex and rj go into the living room).
Harvey:
They are in high school for crying out loud. Why are they still watching those kid shows?
Nancy:
True but they are still kids at heart.
Rachel:
Umm dad?
Harvey:
Yes sweetie? Aren't you gonna go watch looney tunes with your brothers?
Rachel:
Um in a little bit. There is something I want to talk to you about.
Harvey:
Okay sure honey. You know as long as its not about basketball.
Rachel:
Umm actually dad… it is.
(Havey chokes a bit as nancy pats his back hard).
Nancy:
Uh honey i'm gonna go finish up the laundry while you try to calm down and… (Whispers to Harvey) calmly talk to your daughter. (Leaves the room).
Harvey:
(Sighs). Now rachel. We have been over this a dozen times…
Rachel:
Dad, I know that but please listen. I have been practicing with my brothers really hard and I want to join the team. If you would just give me a chance to show you…
Harvey:
Just stop honey. (Sighs) look. It's not that i don't want you on the team even though i dont think girls should play any basketball. It's just I don't want to see my little girl get hurt out there.
Rachel
But dad…
Harvey:
Look i get how much you love it, but please don't ask me again. The answer is no. Now do you understand me?
Rachel:
(Sighs). Yes dad.
Harvey:
Atta girl. (Hugs rachel). Now you run along and go watch the cartoon animals with your brothers okay?
Rachel:
Okay dad. (Goes into the living room and sits on the couch next to her brother alex).
Alex:
Still nothing?
Rachel:
Nope. got an answer this time though.
Alex:
Really?
Rachel:
Yeah. he says he doesn't want me on the team because he doesn't want me getting hurt.
Rj:
Pfft please. He used that same excuse when he didn't want me to join the school musical about the digestive system in 4th grade, and I turned out just fine.
Alex:
You call nasty bite marks from the giant animatronic teeth fine?
Rj:
Hey. you call them bite marks, i call them a mark of awesomeness.
Alex:
Oh brother. Well hey i'm sorry i forced you to ask him again.
Rachel:
Nah its okay. I needed to at least try again. Thanks for the boost of confidence bro.
Alex:
No problem rache.
Rachel:
Please don't call me that.
Rj:
Yes! I got it on the right channel. Now lets see what our dear old friend wile e coyote is up to.
Alex:
Hey, maybe watching some looney tunes will help keep your mind off of things like that.
Rachel:
Yeah, maybe you're right.
(The kids settle in and watch a classic episode of wile e coyote and the road runner).
(We see wile e on a wire while holding a anvil in his hand and as he gets pulled down because of the weight from the anvil we see the road runner appear).
Road runner:
Meep-meep! (Speeds off).
Rj:
I definitely think wile e is gonna get road runner this time.
Rachel:
Oh please rj. Wile e has never caught roadrunner in his life.
Rj:
Maybe today is his day.
(As the road runner speeds away porky pig appears out of nowhere).
Porky pig:
Eh s… stop th… this cartoon! (Pants). W… we've got an e… emergency, uh cartoon character uh union meeting you have to go to.
(Road runner speeds off).
Porky pig:
Hey! Eh w… w… wa… hold your horses!
(Wile e drops the anvil but the wire swings him up into the air).
Rj:
Uh…. what the heck was that?
Alex:
Must have been a rewrite.
(Meanwhile back in tuneland we see the tunes gathering for the emergency meeting as we see wile e appear).
Daffy duck:
(Arrives in a bath towel) stop the music! Top duck coming through! Jeez! It's getting so hard a guy can't even get himself wet around here. So, what's the big emergency?
Bugs bunny:
Eh, these little guys would like to make an announcement. (Hands pound the mike) here you go shortly.
Pound:
Alright, alright! (Clears his throat). You… all of you… ARE NOW OUR PRISONERS!
(The tunes laugh).
Slyvester:
Ooooh! We're in big trouble now.
Nawt:
(Takes the mike) we are taking you to our theme park in outer space.
Blanko:
No fooling.
Nawt:
Where you'll be our slaves. And placed on display for the amusement of our paying customers.
Daffy duck:
Oh! Fear clutches to my breast.
(The tunes laugh some more).
Yosemite sam:
We ain't a goin nowhere's! (Pulls his gun on pound).
(Pound pulls out his laser gun and fires at sam burning him to a crisp forcing the other tunes to hold their hands up in fear).
Bugs bunny:
Eh, not so fast doc. You can just turn us into slaves, that would be bad. You gotta give us a chance to defend ourselves.
Pound:
Oh yeah? Who says?
Bugs bunny:
(Writes something down in a book) just a sec. (Shows the book to the nerdlucks) there. Read em and weep boys.
(The nerdlucks read the book stating that they need to give the tunes a chance to defend themselves).
Bang:
Ah. do we have to?
Nawt:
It's in the rule book.
Bupkus:
It is.
Blanko:
Okay. it is in the rule book.
Bugs bunny:
Uno momento! We have to confer (Closes a door behind him).
(In the backstage of the meeting hall we see bugs in a general's uniform).
Bugs bunny:
Alright troops! It is for us to choose. A battlefield that affords us…
Porky pig:
Oh! I g… g… got it!
Bugs bunny:
Yes private porkster?
Porky pig:
How about we challenge them to… (Stammers) a spelling bee?
Elmer fudd:
Say… we could have a bowling tournament (laughs).
Sylvester:
Sufferin succotash! What's wrong with all of ya? I say… (Grabs a ladder) we get a ladder! Wait till the old lady's out of the room… then grab that little bird!
(Sylvester pants over the thought of getting his hands on tweety bird).
Bugs bunny:
Whoa, whoa! Take a deep breath sly.
(Sylvester pants while drooling a bit).
Bugs bunny:
Okay let's analyze the competition. (Pulls down a blueprint screen). Now uh, what are we looking at here? We got a small race of invading aliens…
Daffy duck:
Small arms. Short legs…
Elmer fudd:
Not very fast…
Sylvester:
Tiny little guys…
Porky pig:
Eh c… can't jump high.
(The tunes think for a bit and come up with a good plan).
(Meanwhile back on stage…).
Bugs bunny:
(Grabs a basketball) we challenge you… to a basketball game.
Pound:
Alright basketball it is.
Bang:
Basketball!
Bupkus:
Oh boy, oh boy…
Blanko:
Alright! Eh what is basketball?
Bupkus:
What's that?
Nawt:
Beats me.
Bang:
We didn't have that in school.
Bupkus:
What?
Bugs bunny:
Lights!
(Meanwhile in a theater room we see the tunes playing a film about basketball).
(The film gets to the part about where professional basketball is played).
Film narrator:
Here's how it's done in the professional race. The national basketball association. Featuring the best players in the world!
Nawt:
The best players in the world huh?
Bupkus:
The best!
