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!
