INT. PERFECTO PREP - DAY
Babs Bunny approaches Rhubella Rat in the hallway.
BABS BUNNY: (teasingly) Hey, Rhubella! I've been meaning to ask you... doesn't your first name sound like that disease, rubella?
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling elegantly) Ah, yes. I've heard that before. But let me assure you, Babs, Rhubella is an aristocratic family name. It's of ancient lineage.
BABS BUNNY: (skeptically) Really? I've never heard of it.
RHUBELLA RAT: (proudly) That's because it's a rare and refined name, passed down through generations of my family. It's not some common, plebeian name like... well, like "Babs".
BABS BUNNY: (laughing) Oh, Rhubella, you're such a snob!
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling) I prefer the term "discerning". Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more important things to attend to. Like my etiquette lessons.
(Rhubella walks away, nose held high)
BABS BUNNY: (chuckling) Wow, she's really got that whole "rich girl" thing down pat...
FADE TO BLACK.

Buster Bunny approaches Rhubella Rat in the hallway.
BUSTER BUNNY: (friendly) Hey, Ruby! What's up?
RHUBELLA RAT: (offended) Excuse me? I prefer to be called Rhubella, not... (shuddering) "Ruby".
BUSTER BUNNY: (confused) What's wrong with "Ruby"? It's a cute nickname!
RHUBELLA RAT: (haughtily) Cute?! Ruby is a pedestrian, common nickname. Rhubella is a sophisticated, aristocratic name. I won't be referred to in such a... familiar manner.
BUSTER BUNNY: (apologetic) Sorry, Rhubella! I didn't mean to offend you!
RHUBELLA RAT: (sternly) See that you don't. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have more refined company to attend to.
(Rhubella walks away, nose held high)
BUSTER BUNNY: (whispering to Babs) Wow, she's really got a stick up her nose, doesn't she?
BABS BUNNY: (giggling) Yeah, Rhubella's a real piece of work!
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. PERFECTO PREP - DAY
Montana Max, dressed in his usual lavish outfit, approaches Rhubella Rat in the hallway.
MONTANA MAX: (smirking) Hey, Rhubella! Check out my new solid gold watch!
RHUBELLA RAT: (unimpressed) Oh, nice. How quaint.
MONTANA MAX: (confused) Quaint?! This watch cost me a fortune!
RHUBELLA RAT: (shrugging) I have one just like it.
MONTANA MAX: (stunned) What?! But... but this is the most expensive watch in the world!
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling sweetly) I know, dear. My father owns the company that made it.
MONTANA MAX: (flabbergasted) Uh... well... how about my collection of rare sports cars?
RHUBELLA RAT: (yawns) Oh, I have a collection of vintage cars myself.
MONTANA MAX: (frustrated) But... but I'm Montana Max! I'm the richest kid in Acme Acres!
RHUBELLA RAT: (giggling) That may impress the girls at Acme Looniversity, Montana, but here at Perfecto Prep, we're all old money.
MONTANA MAX: (confused) Old money?! What's that supposed to mean?
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling) It means we don't impress easily, dear.
(Montana Max looks crestfallen as Rhubella walks away)
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. PERFECTO PREP - DAY
Rhubella Rat approaches Margot Mallard in the hallway.
RHUBELLA RAT: (whispering) Margot, I need a favor.
MARGOT MALLARD: (curious) What is it, Rhubella?
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling mischievously) I want you to pretend to be interested in Montana Max.
MARGOT MALLARD: (laughing) That pompous, self-absorbed...?
RHUBELLA RAT: (giggling) Exactly! I want to see how far he'll go to impress you.
MARGOT MALLARD: (grinning) Oh, this should be fun!
(Margot approaches Montana Max, batting her eyelashes)
MARGOT MALLARD: (gushing) Oh, Montana Max! I've heard so much about you!
MONTANA MAX: (smirking) Really? What have you heard?
MARGOT MALLARD: (coyly) Just that you're the most eligible bachelor in Acme Acres...
MONTANA MAX: (preening) Ah, yes! I am quite the catch!
MARGOT MALLARD: (giggling) I bet! So, tell me more about yourself...
(Montana Max launches into a lengthy, boastful monologue as Margot listens, pretending to be enthralled)
RHUBELLA RAT: (watching from afar, amused) This is priceless...
FADE TO BLACK.
MONTANA MAX: (boastfully) ...and then I bought my own private island! It's got a diamond-encrusted beach and a solid gold sandcastle!
MARGOT MALLARD: (gushing) Oh, wow! That sounds amazing!
MONTANA MAX: (smirking) Yeah, I know, right? I'm basically a billionaire before the age of 20.
MARGOT MALLARD: (batting her eyelashes) You're so impressive, Montana. I can see why they call you the "richest kid in Acme Acres".
MONTANA MAX: (preening) Yeah, it's a tough life, but someone's gotta live it.
(Rhubella Rat rolls her eyes in the background, trying not to laugh)
RHUBELLA RAT: (whispering to herself) This is too easy...
MARGOT MALLARD: (giggling) So, Montana, what's the most expensive thing you've ever bought?
MONTANA MAX: (thoughtfully) Hmm... well, I once bought a platinum-plated toaster for $10,000!
MARGOT MALLARD: (gasping) $10,000?! That's incredible!
MONTANA MAX: (smirking) Yeah, I know, right? It's a real conversation starter.
(Rhubella Rat can't hold it in anymore and bursts out laughing)
RHUBELLA RAT: (laughing) Oh, this is too rich!
MARGOT MALLARD: (laughing) Okay, Rhubella, I think we've had enough fun for one day...
(Montana Max looks confused as the two girls walk away, still laughing)
FADE TO BLACK.
MONTANA MAX: (confused) What's so funny? I don't get it...
(Margot and Rhubella approach him, still chuckling)
MARGOT MALLARD: (teasingly) Oh, Montana, you're just so... predictable.
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling) Yeah, we just wanted to see how far you'd go to impress us.
MONTANA MAX: (defensively) Hey, I'm a catch! I can impress anyone!
MARGOT MALLARD: (doubtfully) Really? Then why did you fall for our little trick?
MONTANA MAX: (sheepishly) Well... I guess I just really wanted to believe someone was interested in me for who I am...
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling sweetly) Aw, Montana, that's actually kind of sweet.
MARGOT MALLARD: (laughing) Yeah, maybe we should give you a break.
MONTANA MAX: (hopefully) Really? You'd do that?
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling mischievously) But only if you agree to one more thing...
MONTANA MAX: (eagerly) Anything! What is it?
RHUBELLA RAT: (grinning) We want you to perform a song and dance routine at the school talent show...
MONTANA MAX: (horrified) What?! No way!
MARGOT MALLARD: (encouragingly) Come on, Montana! It'll be fun!
MONTANA MAX: (resigned) Fine... but if I embarrass myself, I'm blaming you two...
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. PERFECTO PREP - DAY
Rhubella Rat and Muffy Crosswire sit in the cafeteria.
RHUBELLA RAT: (smirking) You know, Muffy, you're really quite... "new money".
MUFFY CROSSWIRE: (confused) What do you mean? My family's been wealthy for generations!
RHUBELLA RAT: (condescendingly) Ah, yes, but that's exactly what I mean. You're used to buying your way into everything, aren't you? You don't know the first thing about breeding or refinement.
MUFFY CROSSWIRE: (upset) Hey, my family's just as good as yours!
RHUBELLA RAT: (laughing) Oh, Muffy, dear, you really are adorable when you're trying to be indignant. But let's face it, your family's money is still wet behind the ears. Mine goes back centuries.
MUFFY CROSSWIRE: (nearly in tears) That's not fair! I always get what I want!
RHUBELLA RAT: (shrugging) Well, not this time, dear. Some things can't be bought. Like class.
(Muffy storms off, upset)
RHUBELLA RAT: (smiling) Ah, the nouveau riche. So predictable.
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. PERFECTO PREP GYM - DAY
Coach Buzzcut stands over Rhubella Rat, who lies on the ground.
COACH BUZZCUT: (barking) Alright, Rat! Drop and give me 20 push-ups!
RHUBELLA RAT: (whining) Oh, Coach, must I? I'm not exactly... accustomed to such... physical activity.
COACH BUZZCUT: (skeptical) Save it, Rat! You're not too good for push-ups!
(Rhubella struggles through the push-ups)
COACH BUZZCUT: (next) Now, climb the rope!
RHUBELLA RAT: (protesting) But Coach, I'm a member of the aristocracy! We don't do... manual labor!
COACH BUZZCUT: (fed up) Aristocracy, schmaristocracy! You're in my gym now, Rat! Climb!
(Rhubella starts climbing, struggling)
RHUBELLA RAT: (panting) This is... simply... too much...
COACH BUZZCUT: (disgusted) You know, Rat, I've had enough of your "old money" excuses! You're not special just because of your family's name!
RHUBELLA RAT: (indignantly) How dare you!
COACH BUZZCUT: (firmly) I dare because I don't care about your family's fortune! In my gym, everyone's equal!
(Rhubella reaches the top of the rope, exhausted)
COACH BUZZCUT: (sternly) Now, get down and run laps!
(Rhubella starts running, still complaining)
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. TEACHER'S LOUNGE - DAY
Coach Buzzcut and Principal McVicker sit at a table, sipping coffee.
COACH BUZZCUT: (frustrated) I'm telling you, McVicker, these kids are getting more entitled by the day. Like Rhubella Rat, always whining about her "aristocratic" background.
PRINCIPAL MCVICKER: (nodding) I know what you mean. They think the world owes them a favor just because of their family name or wealth.
RHUBELLA RAT: (entering the lounge, overhearing) Excuse me, but I couldn't help but hear my name being mentioned...
COACH BUZZCUT: (smirking) Ah, Rat! Perfect timing. We were just discussing your... unique sense of entitlement.
RHUBELLA RAT: (outraged) How dare you! I'll have you know, my family's reputation has been slandered by your conversation!
PRINCIPAL MCVICKER: (calmly) Rhubella, we were just discussing a concern about student attitudes...
RHUBELLA RAT: (fuming) I'll sue you both for slander! My family's lawyers will have a field day with this!
COACH BUZZCUT: (unfazed) Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Rat.
RHUBELLA RAT: (seething) You just wait! I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me!
(Rhubella storms out of the lounge)
PRINCIPAL MCVICKER: (sighing) Well, Coach, it seems we've got another case of "affluenza" on our hands...
COACH BUZZCUT: (laughing) Yeah, and it's getting contagious...
FADE TO BLACK.
