Pg 1
WB executives are in a meeting, reading a script
We see a young man waiting for the final decision, in a state of discomfort
Executive: Alright! We’ve already made a decision!
An executive offers his hand to the young guy
Executive: Script is approved, Mr. McDouglas
?: Really? Is it?
WB Executive and Mr. McDouglas shake their hands
Executive: I want you to bring me a list of the actors right now, I'll give you a month to present it to me
?: Don't worry sir, I won't disappoint you, in fact, I already have one of them
*MEANWHILE*
We move on to a scene where we see Bugs, taking a shower
Pg 2
Bugs comes out with a towel around his waist, unamused
Bugs: I hate taking cold showers in cold days
Bugs is just sitting in front of a bowl, still unamused
Bugs: I hate when there's no milk and I've already served myself cereal
Bugs is just lying on the couch, watching TV, still unamused
T.V.1: You're the perfect woman, I love you
T.V.2: And you're the perfect man, I love you too
Bugs: I hate when TV reminds me that I don't have someone I can call “partner”
Bugs is lying on the bed, rubbing his hands on his face
Bugs: I hate not having a job... Warner Brothers... Why the fuck don't you call me to work? Dammit!
Bugs wakes up when he hears the phone
*RIIIIIING* *RIIIIING* *RIIIIING* *RIIIIING*
Pg 3
Bugs answers the phone
Bugs: Eh, what’s new, doc?
?: Bugs, my lucky rabbit, how are you?
The person who is talking into a public phone booth is the young subject of the script
Bugs: Carthy? It's you? Um…I'm fine, on an indefinite hiatus, bored…
Carthy: Are you bored and looking for a job? 'Cause I'm coming to get you out of your hiatus
Bugs is surprised by what he hears
Bugs: Really? How?
Carthy: Just come to my office, I'll explain it to you when you get here
Bugs: You mean Warner offices?
Carthy: Well... yes
Bugs enters through a rabbit hole inside the rabbit hole
Bugs: Opportunities like this don't come along every day
Bugs comes out of the burrow for a while to break the 4th wall
Bugs: If you're wondering why there's a rabbit hole inside the rabbit hole, you're asking the wrong question
Pg 4
Bugs begins to go on the ground, as in the cartoons, first on the floor of the prairie
Bugs is still below ground, up and down a hill
Then he goes through a cornfield, with a sign that says "When you hit this sign, you will be here", in fact, you can tell that Bugs hits the sign
*POW*
Bugs: OW! Stupid jokes!
Then he goes down the street, leading the way through the pavement
Bugs: How can I get across the pavement, but I can't get around a sign?
Then Bugs goes out alone to talk to a girl on a swing, the girl only points to the side, we also see how a large shadow is in the same scene (parody of the 1994 album Korn)
Bugs: Excuse me, girl? The Warner Brothers studios?
Girl: Over there
Pg 5
Bugs enters WB offices to talk to Carthy
Bugs: Eh…what's new, McDoug?
Carthy: Don't even bother sitting down, my boy, because the idea I'm going to tell you will make you get out of the chair
Carthy unfurls a poster of Casablanca
Carthy: What do you think about this?
Bugs: It's a great movie… and one of the most valued of all time, what's with that?
Carthy only rubs the rabbit's back
Carthy: I don't know, tell me yourself... Rick
Bugs: Stop! Aren't you thinking about...?
Carthy: It is what you're thinking
Carthy just hugs Bugs with his shoulder and starts telling all his ideas
Executive: Imagine, the favorite animated character of all time playing one of the most memorable and iconic protagonists of all time, it will be perfect
Bugs: Will we do the whole movie or just the most important thing?
Carthy presents the script
Carthy: Read it yourself
Bugs: Casablanca parody…mmm... If I am the protagonist, can we name it, I don't know, Carrotblanca?
Carthy: Hmm, it could be
Pg 6
Bugs reads the script
Bugs: It's like a light version of the movie, taking out almost everything about war and leaving out certain important parts
Bugs shakes hands with Carthy
Bugs: I guess it will do, but why so short?
Carthy: They don't want outlandish losses
Bugs makes a suspicious face because of what he finds out later
Bugs: What if it's a failure?
Carthy: You'll show your face. It's in your contract. Well, we'll show
Bugs: What if I refuse?
Carthy: It's also in your contract that you can't refuse, our contract
Bugs comes out with the script and starts reading it
Bugs: All right, we have a deal, we have the script, who besides me will be the actors?
Carthy: Everything in its time, long-eared, we have a month for the audiences to collect them
*SUBALUWA*
There is an office for casting
?: NEXT!
Pg 7
Daffy tries to audition for the role of Rick
Daffy: This one's for you, doll
Interviewer: DAFFY, FOR THE LAST TIME, RICK'S ROLE IS ALREADY TAKEN!!!
Daffy doesn't accept the answer and throws a tantrum
Daffy: WHY DO THEY GIVE HIM THE LEAD ROLE? JUST BECAUSE HE'S THE EMBLEM OF WARNER BROTHERS? PLEASE! I AM ALSO EMBLEMATIC! I ALSO HAVE MORE TALENTS THAN HIM!
Bugs: And here we go...again
Daffy begins to list his talents
Daffy: I can sing, I can dance, I juggle, I can write, I can direct, I can read minds, I know what you’re gonna do next summer
Interviewer: Do you know how to play instruments? The piano?
Daffy and the interviewer starts arguing
Daffy: Of course, why?
Interviewer: Are you convinced by the role of Sam?
Daffy: Is he a protagonist?
Interviewer: Um... yes
Daffy shakes hands with the interviewer
Daffy: Alright!
Bugs: *think* It was the only way to convince him
Pg 8
Everyone starts auditioning, first Sylvester as Slazlo, spitting as he talks
Sylvester: With this invention... I'll be millionaire
Interviewer: Hired! But... Try not to spit so much!
Gossamer auditions as General Pandemonium

Interviewer: It's out of the way! NEXT!
Bugs: Wait! There's a French character, he can make it work
Tweety simply arrives at the office acting like in "Carrotblanca"
Interviewer: HIRED!
Tweety: Hehe, but I just came in passing to get my check
It's all set, Bugs talks to Carthy
Carthy: It's almost everything, there's just one more person missing, the chick
Bugs: How hard can it be?
Bugs looks at a long list of actresses
Bugs: We will find her in no time
Pg 10
*1 DAY LATER*
Bugs only denies the interpreter (not shown) with a smile
Bugs: Honey, you can't read the script during recording! Next!
*1 WEEK LATER*
Bugs denies another performer again with a smile
Bugs: My dear, you're a refined young woman from the 60s, not a femme fatale from the 80s! Next!
*2 WEEKS LATER*
Bugs begins to lose patience, being serious
Bugs: No! This isn't the auditions for Animaniacs, miss, that's Office 142 Floor 6
*3 WEEKS LATER*
Bugs still has no patience, covering his eyes
Bugs: WE SAID CLEARLY, ACTRESSES! AND PUT ON SOME PANTIES FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! NEXT!!!
*ONE DAY BEFORE THE PRESENTATION OF THE LIST*
Bugs is overwhelmed, the interviewer too, they didn't find anyone
Bugs: None of them work
Interviewer: It can't be that there is no one who can interpret Ilsa
Pg 11
Carthy arrives to see news of the actress, but only sees Bugs lying on the desk
Carthy: And how are we doing with the actress?
Bugs: Zero, absolute zero
Carthy: Well, tell the girls to come in
Interviewer: There are no more actresses, McDouglas
Bugs leaves the office, leaving only the interviewer and Carthy
Carthy: What?! There has to be at least one good one!
Interviewer: Negative, they don't know how to act, they don't remember half a word of the script, they don't know how to read the script, they want to get out of character to be the show-off, and there was even a man who arrived naked, Mr. McDouglas, NAKED!
Bugs: I give up, I knew it was too good to be true
Carthy only holds Bugs by the hand, so he doesn't leave
Carthy: Bugs, wait, where are you going?
Bugs: I'll go tell the executives that we can't start recording, although knowing it well, I'm sure they'll blame me... And I'll go back to my boring hiatus…again
Carthy: We still have time, until 12 A.M.
Bugs lets loose, with a lot of seriousness in his face
Bugs: Be realistic, McDoug. It's all over
Carthy: Bugs!
Carthy is only frustrated by this, while the interviewer is left setting up the hearing office
Interviewer: I'm sorry I couldn't help you, McDouglas
Carthy: Okay, man, it's not your fault
Pg 12
The door to the hearing office opens (not showing who it is)
Carthy and the interviewer greets the incoming
Carthy: Hello. Can we help you with something?
?: Hello, hehe, I came... to audition for the role of Ilsa, I hope it hasn't been taken yet
Interviewer: Um... Sure…you can get an audition
Carthy and the interviewer just sit down and take their notebook
Carthy: Alright, we hear you, sweetheart
Bugs is about to come knocking on the door of WB executives
Bugs: *think* How do I start this? I can't say directly, ”Look, we can't record because the actors' quotas were not filled”. I can't say it so directly... Shit! I can't think of anything
?: Bugs!
Carthy runs to where Bugs is
Carthy: Good God I found you in time!
Bugs: Em what's going on?
Pg 13
Bugs is overjoyed by the news, Carthy only asks him to follow him
Carthy: Come quick, we got her, we got an actress to play Ilsa!
Bugs rushes to the office
Bugs: Really? Do you have her? What is she looks like? Is she cute? Is she tall or short? Is it human? Is it a rabbit? Where has she been these last few weeks?
Carthy: I'll just say that she already works at WB, she just didn't dare to audition.
Carthy enters the office first, to talk to the interviewer
?:Um... If I will be Ilsa, who will be Rick?
Interviewer: If Mr. McDouglas finds him, he will introduce him to you today, otherwise you will meet him tomorrow at the auditions
Carthy: I got him!
Bugs: Hi, sorry for the delay, I'm here
The interviewer introduces Bugs to the actress who will play Ilsa, she is a tuxedo cat, who has her back to the rabbit
Interviewer: Mister, this is our Ilsa; Miss, this is our Rick
Carthy: Bugs, Penelope; Penelope, Bugs
Pg 14
Penelope turns to see Bugs, surrounded by lots of glitter and an angelic aura
Bugs, he is instantly smitten, also surrounded by an aura and a lot of brightness
Bugs: *gasp*
At the same time, Penelope falls in love when she sees Bugs
Penelope: *gasp*
Carthy brings Bugs closer to Penelope, although it is noticeable that the rabbit does not react
Carthy: Come on, rabbit, get closer to her
The interviewer brings Penelope closer to Bugs, although it is noticeable that the cat is not reacting
Interviewer: Don't be afraid, kitty kitty, come closer
Pg 15
Bugs and Penelope are face to face, unable to say anything
Bugs: *think* So beautiful!
Penelope: *think* So handsome!
Carthy just watches both hare and cat are not being able to react naturally
Bugs: Um... hello... Um... my Bugs are... name... as you... Um... you know... your...?
Penelope: Ah! My... my... my... my... my name is... my name is... my name is... Pershepone... Say... Pescara... Say... Pusselope... ah!
Carthy separates the two of them, knowing that there are nerves between them
Carthy: Well, I think that was enough introduction, I'll see you two tomorrow on set first thing, study your scripts well, you get it, right?
Carthy takes Bugs out of the office, the rabbit just left looking back, still mesmerized by the cat
Bugs: Who was that kitten so... so...?
Carthy: You mean Penelope?
Carthy just smiles at Bugs with a lot of confidence
Carthy: No one, just the perfect girl for the role
Pg 16
Penelope only bumps into Carthy to talk to him
Penelope: Um... Excuse me, Mr. McDouglas, but-
Carthy: I know what you're going to say, “will he be... will he be...?”
Penelope is surprised by the writer, Carthy only smiles at her
Penelope: How did you know? You even got stuck?
Carthy: Let's just say, he'll be happy to work with you
Penelope only smiles at these words
Carthy reaches the executives with the list of actors
Carthy: Gentlemen, we give the green light to...
The script appears on the table, with its name "CARROTBLANCA"
Pg 17
This page will be two panels on the left, two on the right, and a main panel in the middle
Left Panel Sup: Bugs is lying on his bed, reading in script
Bugs: I must sleep, tomorrow we will start recording, I must be concentrated...
Right Panel: Penelope is sitting on the bed, reading the script
Penelope: I must give the 100% of myself! I must be completely focused on the role...
Left Panel: Bugs falls asleep with a smile
Right Panel: Penelope falls asleep with a smile
Central Panel: It's a "shared" dream between Bugs and Penelope, where they are both on a date, at a romantic dinner, staring at each other with a lot of feeling
Pg 18
*NEXT MORNING*
Bugs comes running to Warner Brothers Studios
Bugs: Of every day, that I must have fallen asleep...
Bugs enters the studios quickly
Bugs: Did it have to be today? I hate myself sometimes!
A janitor uses the elevator next to his cleaning cart
Janitor: *whistle of joy*
Bugs: Don't close, don't close
Bugs just runs to the elevator
Janitor: There's only room for one, but we'll be traveling very tightly
Bugs: Thank you very much, Mr. Bungle
?: Excuse me!
Bugs collides with Penelope
Pg 19
Bugs and Penelope are about to fight over the elevator
Bugs and Penelope: Hey!
Suddenly, they both fall silent, unable to say anything
They both act very shy, demanding that the other get on the elevator
Bugs: Um... sorry, you go up
Penelope: Nononono, you got there first
Bugs: Ladies First
Penelope: But you're more important
Bugs: I insist
Penelope: Me too, go up
The one who gets on the elevator, separating Bugs and Penelope, is The Crusher, with many heavy boxes
Crusher: Move away, if you guys won't get on, then I do, these boxes are very heavy
Janitor: Excuse me, dude, I don't think the elevator supports that much weight
The janitor is taken out of the elevator, left along with Bugs and Penelope
Janitor: Sure, there was this solution
Pg 20
The other elevator opens, the first to go up is Mr. Bungle and his cleaning cart
Bungle: Hey, can you do me a favor? Can you take my stroller to the 4th floor? It only needs the wheels fitted, I'll use the stairs
Bugs: Um... Okay!
Penelope: Okay!
Bugs and Penelope ride in the elevator, very close together, because of the little space left over, both body to body
Bugs: *think* How sweet she smells!
Penelope: *think* What a exquisite perfume he wears!
Bugs: *think* I feel her heart beating very fast
Penelope: *think* Don't make eye contact, try to hide your blush
Bugs accidentally touches Penelope's breast
Bugs: We've arrived-!
Penelope: Nyan!
Because they reach the floor, the elevator shake causes Penelope to stagger on top of Bugs, causing them both to softly brush their noses against each other, making them more nervous
*DING* *STOMP*
Bugs and Penelope quickly exit the elevator, looking away
Bugs: *think* Does that count as a kiss?
Penelope: *think* Did I kiss him?
Pg 21
Bugs takes the Mr. Bungle cart, but the problem of moving the vehicle is noticeable
Penelope helps move the stroller, causing the two to rub against each other's sides
Bugs: *think* It can't be
Penelope: *think* I can't stop feeling him
They are passing through the corridors, right next to it there is a woman with a baby
Bugs and Penelope feel the baby's crying, going into shock
Baby: BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Bugs' imagination (or Penelope or both) makes them hallucinate, seeing that they are carrying a baby carriage, causing them both to be frightened
Pg 22
Penelope and Bugs carry the cart, pushing and pulling on opposite sides
Bugs sees the cart start pulling out metal screws and threads
Bugss: *think* Mr Bungle, your cart is miracly alive
Penelope observes that she is moving the cart alone
Penelope: Huh? Where did you go?
Penelope only goes next to Bugs and watches him on his knees (not fully revealing himself), being in shock
Bugs is still on his knees, gathering everything that falls into the cart, looking her with a poker face
Pg 23
Bugs and Penelope's imagination does its thing again, they are hallucinating with Bugs on their knees, proposing to Penelope
Bugs decides to end this and take the cart in a hurry, leaving Penelope behind
Penelope: Hey, wait for me!
Bugs: *think* Don't look back, don't look back…
The rabbit runs over the person who must fix the cart with it, in order to flee
?: What do you need-AAAH?!
Bugs: Here, Mr. Bungle will come and explain, bye-bye!
Penelope: Wait! Excuse me!
Bugs and Penelope just decide to go to the audition, just looking sideways, with that sentimental awkwardness in them
*BA DUM* *BA DUM* *BA DUM* *BA DUM* *BA DUM*
FLA: NO, those are not drums, those are heartbeats
Everyone is ready in the rehearsal room, about to get dressed, reading their scripts, etc
Carthy: Where are they?
Pg 24
Bugs and Penelope arrive at rehearsal together
Bugs: Um... hello
Penelope: We're sorry for... the delay
Daffy: Fogel, where the hell were you?
Carthy: I almost had a cardiac arrest
Makeup artists separate Bugs and Penelope
Carthy: There is no time for explanations, let’s get started
Bugs: Wait, Carthy! Miss Pussycat!
Penelope: Mr. McDouglas, wait a minute! Mr Bunny!
Carthy takes roll call, before starting
Carthy: Daffy!
Daffy: Here!
Carthy: Sylvester!
Sylvester: Right here!
Carthy: Elmer!
Elmer: Wight hewe! Dahahaha!
Carthy continues to take roll, talking to the camera overhead, the cameraman only gives a thumbs up
Carthy: Aerial Camera...Special Effects…Sound Effects…
Carthy just gives the order to get started
Carthy: And... ACTION!!!
Pg 25
(IT'S JUST A REHEARSAL, NONE OF THEM ARE IN THEIR CLOTHES OR ANYTHING, THEY'RE JUST CASUAL)
It begins with the scene of Foghorn Leghorn reporting the theft of the scroll
Foghorn: Attention, I say attention! A german scientist was knocked unconcious by a large frying pan, somebody stole important documents from his storage
Yosemite Sam and Sam the Sheepdog drive to the bar to get the scroll
Daffy plays piano at the bar, while the others join them in the song
Daffy: Who wants troubles?
Everyone: We want troubles!
Daffy: How much troubles?
Everyone: So much troubles!
Tweety only carries the scroll
Tweety: Mr Bugs! Mr Bugs!
Bugs makes an appearance, only eating carrots and greeting the canary
Bugs: Um...what's up, doc?
Tweety: Please help me, Mr Bugs! I need you to hide this very important document
Pg 26
Bugs just takes the scroll and hides it
Tweety: He Will come with a pretty laaady…
Bugs: A lady? Gimme that thing!
Sylvester and Penelope enter the scene
Yosemite Sam argues with Bugs to get the scroll
Sam: I’M GENERAL PANDEMONIUM! THE MEANEST, NASTIEST ABSOLUTELY SOLDIER IN THIS MAN’S ARMY! I GOT A WORD YOU GOT THAT IMPORTANT DOCUMENT!
Sylvester only gets angry for not being attended to
Sylvester: SOMEBODY! I DEMAND SOME SERVICE!
Bugs tricks Yosemite Sam with the scroll
Bugs:You want the paper? Got it! Good boy! Come for it! Fetch
Pg 27
Sylvester only takes Penelope by the hands to leave the scene
Sylvester: I’ll be right back, Kitty dear, with a some fresh food and drinks
Daffy is scared to see Penelope on stage
Penelope: It’s been a long time, Sam!
Daffy: YIKES!
Penelope just begs Daffy to play her favorite song
Penelope: Please, play it for me
Daffy: I hope you don’t mean the “Knock on wood” song, I’ve got a splitting headache
Penelope: You know, my favourite song
Bugs complains to Daffy for playing that song
Bugs: I thought I told you NEVER play that song!
Daffy: Me? Do yo think I wanna play that?
Daffy only points out that it was Penelope as the culprit
Daffy: SHE MAKES ME DO IT! IT WAS HER! HER! HER!
Pg 28
But unlike what happens today, Penelope is shocked, scared
The same goes for Bugs, being nervous and panicked
Daffy: Rabbit! Your dialogue!
Carthy just cuts the scene
Carthy: CUT!! LET’S ROLE IT AGAIN!!
The management gives us a new order to redo the shot
Direction: Scene 26 Take 2...Action!
But both Bugs and Penelope, do not react, they are very lost in the other that they are afraid to talk
Carthy: Again? CUT!
Pg 29
Again, the management gives a new order to redo the scene
Direction: Scene 26, take 3...Action!!
Bugs tries to act, but stutters, same with Penelope
Bugs: K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-
Penelope: H-H-Hello, R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-
Carthy: CUT!
A new replay of the shot

Bugs only fails in dialogue, Penelope only makes the situation worse
Bugs: Kelly.. Say... SHIT!
Penelope: It's Penelope... No! It’s... Kitty! *grunts*
Carthy: CUT!!
Carthy talks to his team
Carthy: *sigh* Let's move on to the next scene
Direction: Mr. McDouglas, the following scene is also shared by the two of them
Carthy: So the next one, one where the two of them don't match
Pg 30
We move on to the scene where Bugs and Daffy are just drinking, already drunk and out of their minds
Bugs: Of all the juice joints in all the towns in all the countries in all the world, she picks this one
Daffy: I know what you mean, I got a girl once and she dumped for a pool supply salesman
Penelope walks through the bar door, Daffy orders her to leave
Daffy: Hit the road, sister!
Daffy is knocked out and thrown by Penelope
Just as Bugs and Penelope are sharing a scene, Carthy orders the filming to stop, too late, the rabbit and the cat are already frozen by the romantic panic
Carthy: CUT! SHIT! WHY?
Carthy only talks to the cameraman
Carthy: We'll move on to the next scene
Camera: But sir, you can't change-
Carthy: I know what I'm doing, next scene, trust me
Pg 31
Yosemite Sam is interrogating Sylvester to get the scroll
Sam:I WANT ANSWERS AND I WANT THEM NOW!
Sylvester: How many times do i have to tell you? I don’t have that document!
Sam: You really expect me to believe that?
Bugs Arrives to Save Sylvester, interrogating Yosemite Sam
Bugs: General Pandemonium! How do you plead?
Sam: Guilty! I’m guilty!
FLA: Sorry for cut away these scene
Yosemite Sam locks himself in jail
Bugs goes with Sylvester
Bugs: Mr Slazlo got a plane to catch
Sam is harassed by someone in jail
Pg 32
Bugs talks to Sylvester and he gives him the documents
Bugs: Now Slazlo, I have something you looking for
Sylvester: So you had this? This is gonna make me RICH!
The departure of the last flight is announced
Airport Radio: Attention please! Last flight to Walla Walla, Keokuk, Cucamonga and Seattle…ALL ABOOOOOOOOOOARD!
FLA: HAHAHAHA SEATTLE!
There is a new scene of Bugs and Penelope, where they both panic, and they cannot do or say what they have done.
Penelope:...Rick…Ngh…I…Well…
Bugs: You have to... it is supposed to...
Carthy only holds his head in frustration
Carthy: Oh no! This scene…
Bugs and Penelope try to hold each other's hands but can barely touch each other
Carthy: *think* Come on, at least hold hands, come on rabbit, at least shake hands
Pg 33
Carthy is in frustration mode, throwing the script to the ground
Carthy: CUT! NEXT SCENE!
Carthy talks to the team
Carthy: All right, people, we'll just shoot the airplane scene, you understand? Then we close
Team: But Mr. McDouglas, the script says-
Carthy: I know why I'm going to do this, just... We'll just rehearse the airplane scene
Sylvester boards the plane taking Penelope by force
Sylvester: Say goodbye, dear!
Sylvester shows off his invention, ignoring Penelope
Pepe harasses Penelope on the plane
Pepe: Coffee? Tea? Or Moi?
Pg 34
Penelope jumps out of plane
She watches from above that she is going to land on Bugs, neither of them moving
Carthy: Special effects, hold her!
The wires that hold Penelope so she doesn't collide with Bugs
Carthy: CUT! THE FIRST REHEARSAL WAS PERFECT! ALMOST! MAYBE IN THE MIDDLE!
Carthy says goodbye to all the actors and crew, while grabbing Bugs and Penelope
Carthy: Well done, team, the work for today is done, we will see you tomorrow at the same time
Carthy takes Bugs and Penelope by the hand to the offices
Carthy: You two! Follow me!
Daffy: Uh-oh! Scold!
Pg 30
Carthy only gives them water and offers them a seat
Carthy: Sit down, we have to talk seriously
Carthy only begins the interrogation, both the rabbit and the cat are about to answer
Carthy: What's going on with you two? Why are you frozen or exorbitant or lost in the air?
Bugs and Penelope: I...
Bugs and Penelope keep quiet at the same time, because they panic about each other's action
Carthy: Well? Say something
Carthy only talks to Penelope, who only nods her head
Carthy: Penelope dear, can you leave us alone with him? Keep your distance but don't go away, it's men's talk so you can't hear a word
Penelope leaves the room, leaving Bugs and Carthy alone
Carthy: Wait a few seconds... One more panel... almost... We get to the next page and...
Pg 31
Carthy talks to Bugs about his problem
Carthy: Tell me, what's wrong with you?
Bugs: Well... I didn't sleep well... And my brain ain't awake
As Bugs sips a glass of water, you can see the nervousness and lack of pulse in his body
Carthy: I didn't know you liked cats
Bugs spits out all the water he was drinking, in Carthy's face
Bugs tries to act like he doesn't care
Bugs: I don't know what you're talking about, hehe, why are you talking about cats?
Carthy: Because now that she's gone, you're speaking fluently
Bugs pours himself another glass of water, but having no pulse, the water falls everywhere
Bugs: Well, I don't understand what you're talking about, if you mean the cat, I don't have any problema with her
Carthy: No? Oops! I thought she was the problem, that you didn't like her, I'm feeling bad now for replacing her now!
Pg 32
Bugs grabs Carthy by the clothes, full of fury
Bugs: WHAT DO YOU MEAN TO REPLACE HER?! HOW DARE YOU REPLACE SUCH A CUTE GIRL-?!
Carthy: I knew it, you like her!
Bugs throws his head against the desk
Bugs: *grunts* Okay, I'll admit it, I like her, she's... A very gorgeous kitten
Carthy asks Bugs to leave
Carthy: Mmm... You can go, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon
Bugs: But we rehearse in the morning
Carthy: And you'll come in the afternoon, and go rehearsing your lines, just your lines
Bugs leaves the principal's office, when leaving, he comes face to face with Penelope, both of them looking into each other's eyes
Bugs just moves to leave the place, sweating like crazy, his heart pounding a thousand miles an hour
Carthy: Penelope, you can come in, girl
Pg 33
*THE NEXT DAY*
Bugs arrives at the rehearsal studio in the afternoon, as Carthy McDouglas told him, and all the other Looney Tunes are leaving
Tweety: Goodbye, Mr. McDouglas! Hello Bugs!
Bugs: Bye, Tweets!
Bugs doesn't understand what Carthy is planning, he just takes Bugs to rehearse
Bugs: I don't understand why you told me to come now, there's no one who am I going to rehearse with?
Carthy: Well, just you, duh
Bugs: Only me? Alone?
Carthy: That's right, now go to your place
Bugs reads his lines, talking to himself, scolding the "piano" (since this scene should be Daffy)
Carthy: And action!
Bugs: I thought I told you NEVER play that song
Carthy: Perfect, move on to your next line
We move on to the scene where Bugs remembers everything he lived with "Penelope"
Bugs: Kitty? Kitty!
Bugs drives a car, acting as if he were accompanied
Carthy: Okay, next one
Pg 34
Bugs dances alone in a bar
Carthy: All right, what's next?
Bugs is drunk solo
Carthy: Perfect, change outfit!
Bugs is on the airport scene,talking to the air
Bugs: Listen Kitty, if you don't leave now, you'll regret it-
Bugs is standing in the final scene, arms open (though obviously no one will come to hug him)
Parachute falls on top of Bugs
Bugs: Hare’s looking on you, Kitty
Carthy: And... Cut! Excellent!
Pg 35
Bugs is too confused about having rehearsed alone
Bugs: Hey doc, what are you planning? Why am I acting alone?
Carthy: Let the director take care of it, trust me, we'll repeat it 2 more times
Bugs: Do you want me to feel shame of myself again? It is awful to act alone!
Bugs listened and went back to acting alone, pretending to use the newspaper to trick Yosemite Sam, although the mustache is not on the scene
Bugs: Go for the paper, boy! Good boy!
Bugs acts by interrupting Daffy
Bugs: I thought I told you NEVER play that song!
Bugs dances alone at the nightclub, where he was supposed to dance with Penelope
Bugs interrogates Yosemite Sam, even though this second character is not
Bugs: ISN’T IT TRUE YOU HATE JOHNNY RYAN FOR STEALING YOUR GIRL? WE’RE ONTO YOU, PANDEMONIUM!
Pg 36
Bugs still doesn't understand McDouglas' plan
Bugs: I don't understand what you want to do, but whatever it is, I hope it's good
Carthy: Trust me, doc!
Bugs finished rehearsing, being tired
Carthy: AND CUT! END OF WORK, RICK!
Bugs: You said... it would be 3 times...
Carthy: I think I exaggerated a little bit
Bugs: I MADE MY LINES 30 TIMES!!
Just as Bugs turns around, she entered, Penelope waving to everyone
Penelope: Good evening, Mr. McDouglas! Here I am!
Carthy: Hi, Penelope, you're on time
Penelope: Hello-
Bugs turns around and bumps in front of Penelope, they inadvertently hug each other, the kitten's head bumps into the rabbit's chest
When they looked into each other's eyes, the rabbit and the cat were mute, with a poker face, but with a trapped happiness
Carthy: What a nice welcome, Bugs!
Pg 37
Carthy separates them and takes Penelope by the shoulder
Carthy: All right Miss Pussycat, the cameras will start rolling, change yourself and we'll start on my signal
Penelope: Okay, Mr. McDouglas
Bugs asks Carthy what he plans
Bugs: It's 9 P.M., are you going to have her rehearse…at THIS TIME?
Carthy: Yes, why? Is there anything wrong?
Bugs grabs a chair and sits down, looking seriously at the director
Carthy: Your essay is over, Bugs, you can go now
Bugs: No way, I'm Staying!
Carthy acts indignant, placing both of his hands on his hip
Carthy: Don't you trust me? Please don’t answer!
Then McDouglas laughs with a passive laugh
Carthy: I think someone's jealous
Bugs: I'm not jealous, I just want you... nothing happens to her... I heard about the behind-the-scenes stories
Carthy: And that's true but…to be jealous you must first be "something" and you are less reactive than a statue boxing
Pg 38
Carthy gives the signal for the recording scene to begin, with Bugs watching him from the background, sitting with his arms crossed
Carthy: And... ACTION!
Penelope enters Carrotblanca's bar, in her outfit, but completely alone
Penelope talks to Daffy, even though she's not there
Penelope: It's been a long time, Sam!
Penelope makes her "little face" looking at Bugs, with that twinkle in her eye
Penelope exits the character, looking directly into the camera
Carthy: What’s the matter? Something’s wrong?
Carthy has Bugs on his back, heart-shaped eyes, in love with the kitten's beauty, the director is being frustrated
Carthy: Excuse a sec, young lady, i’ll go back in the next page
Pg 39
Carthy used tape to tie Bugs to the chair, covering his eyes and mouth
Carthy: I'll let you go when we're done
Bugs: Mmmpft... mmmpft...(LET ME GO! YOU BASTARD!)
Penelope toasts alone at the table where she was supposedly toasting with Bugs
Penelope begs Bugs to help her, though he is not on the scene
Penelope: BUGS! PLEASE HELP ME! THEY ARRESTED SYLVESTER! GENERAL PANDEMONIUM THINKS HE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT THE STOLEN DOCUMENT!
Penelope cries to manipulate
Carthy: That’s it... feel sadness... the viewer must feels your pain... These scripts always have someone crying, it must be the writer’s trademark
FLA: Don’t blame us
Penelope is at the airport, rehearsing her farewell
Penelope: Bugs, I don't know if I can leave you again
Pg 40
From inside the plane, Penelope says goodbye
Penelope: GOODBYE!
Penelope "jumps" from the plane into the void, in reality it is a jump of at least 5 meters
Penelope: MEOOOOOOOOW!!
Penelope brakes and lands on her feet on the airport floor
We replay the airport scene, but only filming Penelope in the scene
Carthy ends first trial
Carthy: AND CUT! Alright, take a 5-minute break to start the second trial
Pg 41:
Carthy just rubs his head
Penelope: How many times do I have to repeat my lines, Mr McDouglas?
Carthy: It's only going to be about 3 or 4 times, not much
Bugs: MMMMPFFT! (MIENTES!!!)
FLA: Me haces daño y luego te arrepientes... that's right, we're fans of progressive rock and progressive metal, but we're also Camila fans
Penelope rehearses again, fighting ALONE against Pepe, showing her claws
Penelope being surrounded by the signs saying that she was the one who wanted Daffy to play that song
Penelope is snuggling up alone in a car, which Bugs is supposed to be driving
Penelope acts as if she is being harassed by Pepe on the plane, a false case because she is recording alone
Pg 42
Penelope is exhausted, there were many recordings
Penelope: My legs…OUCH!
Carthy: No pain, no gain, no game, no name
Bugs appears behind Carthy, drinking coffee
Carthy: I thought I had pinned you down
Bugs: I needed to go to the bathroom...coffee, tea...?
Carthy taunts Bugs by pointing at Penelope
Carthy: Why don't you say that line to the cat lady?
Bugs: Make me!
Carthy takes the glass away from Bugs, to continue to make fun of Bugs and his shyness
Carthy: Alright! I'll do it then
Bugs: Hey!
Carthy offers Penelope something to drink
Carthy: Coffee? Tea? Or Moi? Get it?
Penelope: Thank you very much Mr. McDouglas
Out of nowhere, someone soaks McDouglas with a brown liquid
Pg 43
Bugs threw the coffee on him, and he played dumb. Carthy looked at him with an unfriendly face. The rabbit was approaching with a towel
Bugs: We don't have any more coffee, Mr. McDandy, or tea either.
Carthy throws the coffee he had left in his hand, on Penelope
Carthy: Oops, how clumsy of me
Penelope: Ah! It's cold!
Bugs: But what the-?
Carthy leaves the scene, pats Bugs on the back, and leaves them alone
Carthy: Bugs, since you have a towel there, be a dear and help Miss Pussycat to dry off, while I go to the bathroom to try to get the leftovers of coffee and tea off my body
Bugs: You're despicable!
Carthy: Sometimes I am
Bugs is so nervous that he can't even reach out to Penelope to help her dry herself
Penelope takes the towel as best she can, trying not to make eye contact with the rabbit
Penelope: Thank... you
Pg 44
Carthy returns to the scene, squeezing tea and coffee out of his shirt
Carthy: Well, Cayetano Santos Godino, Shirley Silva, we're done rehearsals, it's time to go to sleep
Penelope: We'll be here tomorrow at the same time, Mr. Director
Bugs: Thank you, Carthy Robledo Puch, what time is it?
Upon hearing the answer, Penelope is shocked
Carthy: Only 1 A.M.
Penelope:1 A.M.? I can't walk alone at dawn. Who knows what kind of vandals there may be on the street? Maybe one will kidnap me and make me pork food
Bugs: *thinkinig* Well, if that happens, we'd have to look in theaters... unless we meet a shotgun dentist with glasses first
Carthy points at Bugs, Bugs gestures for him to shut up
Carthy: Don't worry, you can travel down through Bugs’ rabbit hole, this guy gets anywhere in the world when he doesn't "take the wrong route in Albuquerque"
Bugs: *think* SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
Penelope: I-I-I don't know, M-M-Mr. McD-D-D-Douglas What if I get lost?
Carthy joins hands with Bugs and Penelope without them noticing, their faces are not seen on screen
Carthy: But you can travel like this
Bugs and Penelope, realizing that they are holding hands, panic in love, their eyes open, with pupils in the shape of little hearts, Bugs' ears form a heart, Penelope's tail forms another
Pg 45
Both retract their hands and bodies in fear, their hearts leap from their chests
Bugs’ Heart: I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IIIIIIS...
Penelope's Heart: AND IIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOU...
Both characters retract their hearts into their chests, demanding them to shut up
Bugs/Penelope: Shhh...
Penelope demands that she can walk home or take a taxi
Penelope: I think I'd better go on a bus, or in a taxi or-
Carthy: *pig squeal scream*
Within minutes, Bugs and Penelope decided to travel together through Bugs' rabbit hole, holding hands
Carthy: Hmmm... I'm still thinking about what you said, Penelope, you might get lost
Carthy in a quick movement, makes Penelope hold on to Bugs' arm, hugging him, causing both of them to blush
Carthy: Done!
Pg 46
Bugs and Penelope are inside the rabbit hole, walking first to wherever the cat lives
Carthy: *voice off* By the way, I'll see you on August 1st, not before
Bugs and Penelope turn around confused, without letting go
Bugs: 1 Month?! And our essays?
Penelope: Won't we rehearse until then?
With his head inside the rabbit’s hole, Carthy just says goodbye
Carthy: Don't worry, trust me, now just go to sleep, I’ll call you two, I promise
Carthy pulls his head out of the rabbit hole with his face covered in scratches and a black eye, smiling at the reader
Carthy breaks the fourth wall to talk to the reader
Carthy: Don't blame me, I didn't write the script
Pg 47
Bugs and Penelope are walking through the tunnels inside Bugs' rabbit hole, with the kitten intertwining her arm with Bugs'
Bugs is sweating because Penelope is touching him and he can't help but feel the softness of her fur
Bugs: *think* Shit! She's so close and her fur is so soft
Penelope is just as uncomfortable as Bugs, sweating because she is so close to him, unable to avoid the rubbing of their fur against each other
Penelope: *think* Try not to... sweat so much, you stupid cat
Bugs and Penelope can't stop imagining a life together (driving together in a convertible car with Penelope hugging Bugs tightly; both dancing to a slow song in an important meeting; toasting together; both face to face bumping noses in an intimate moment with no clothes, not a suggestive image but rather discreet)
Pg 48
Bugs and Penelope are very frustrated with the silence of the environment and their discomfort in speaking
Bugs and Penelope: *think* Say something, say something, say something, say something...
Bugs takes courage to talk to Penelope, turning around, only focusing on his head
Bugs: Penelope...
Penelope has courage too, she turns to talk to Bugs, only focusing on her head
Penelope: Bugs...
But Bugs is shocked and confused by something, we still focus only on his head
Bugs: HUH?!
The same thing happens with Penelope’s head
Penelope: WHAT?!
Pg 49
Bugs is already in his bedroom, lying on his bed, completely alone, the walk to get Penelope home was already over
Penelope also realizes that she is in her bedroom, lying alone, arriving home a while ago
Bugs just pulls his ears down, looking frustrated that he couldn't say a word to Penelope
Bugs: NNNNNNNGH!!
Penelope covers her face with a pillow, screaming loudly her annoyance
Penelope: MMMMMMMH!!
Bugs just stares at the ceiling, in complete disappointment with himself
Bugs: Why?
Pg 50
*DAYS LATER*
The days go by, Bugs is waiting for a call from Carthy
Bugs: You said you'd call me, Doc
Penelope only watches through the window of her house, with a face of disappointment with herself, mixed with sentimental emptiness
Bugs leaves shopping
Bugs walking down the street, watches as some elementary school students walk past in front of him, all dressed in cat ears and cat tails
Students: Nyanyame nyanyajyuu nyanya-do no nyarabi de nyakunyaku inyanyaku nyanyahan nyanta-dai nyannyanku nyarabete nyagantagame
Bugs covers his face for remembering his shyness
Bugs: For the Great Golden Carrot, why?
Pg 51
Penelope is eating salmon-flavored snacks as she walks down the street
As she walks down the street, she notices some students dressed in bunny ears, crossing in hops in front of her
Students: Hippity hippity, hoppity hoppity. My tail is quite fluffy, my ears are quite floppity. I sing and I dance and you can't make me stoppity. Said funny bunny to sweet little girl.
Penelope, seeing this, feels pain in her being because of her shyness
Penelope throws the snacks in the trash
Penelope: I'm not *sniff* hungry anymore
*SEVERAL DAYS LATER*
The phone rings
Pg 52
Bugs answers the call
Bugs: Tell me it's you, doc
Penelope also answers her phone
Penelope: Mr. McDouglas?
Carthy is in his office, working on his computer
Carthy: I'll be waiting for you tomorrow afternoon, when evveryone’s gone
Bugs jumps with excitement
Bugs: FINALLY!
Penelope screams out of the window of her house
Penelope: YAY!!!
Pg 53
The next day, Bugs and Penelope are in the same elevator, looking at opposite sides, silently
Bugs and Penelope try to talk to each other, at least hold hands
Bugs: How did you-?
Penelope: And you-?
The elevator slams on the brakes, causing Penelope to fall back in front of Bugs and he holds her down, making eye contact and slightly bumping their noses
Bugs and Penelope exit the elevator, blushing, heading for the performance hall
Bugs: Repeating gags is wrong
FLA: No, it’s not
When they arrive, they all leave, except Daffy, who tries to convince Carthy of his role
Daffy: The rabbit never comes and neither does the cat. What if I offer myself as the protagonist? The girl? I can-I mean, we can choose her later
Carthy: For the last time... NO!
Pg 54
Daffy leaves angrily, and the first thing he finds is Bugs and Penelope
Daffy: I hope you don't end up paying them the same or more than we did
Bugs and Penelope are left alone with Carthy, who asks them to accompany them to the office
Bugs: I'm ready to rehearse
Penelope: Me too, Mr. McDouglas
Carthy: But first, to my office, both of you, I have a surprise for both of you
Bugs and Penelope enter Carthy's office, where they see a projector and chairs
Bugs: What?
Penelope asks Carthy why they were called
Penelope: Mr. McDouglas? Why did you call us and why does your office look like a mini-cinema?
Carthy: That's simple, guys, because...
Carthy shows the film tape to the rabbit and the cat
Carthy: I FINISHED THE MOVIE!
Bugs and Penelope: DID YOU WHAT?!
Pg 55
Bugs and Penelope are confused How did Carthy finish the movie?
Bugs: But... our scenes... We were supposed to rehearse... What did you do?
Penelope: Don't tell me you took us out of the movie, tell me not, Mr. McDouglas
Carthy: No Penelope, I didn't delete you from the movie, you're both in it
Carthy prepares the tape on the projector
Carthy: And about their scenes, I used the best scenes you shot that day and I edited them to fit, don't worry, no one will notice
On the projector you can see the title of the film "Carrotblanca"
Bugs and Penelope are excited about the presentation of the film
Penelope: *think* We'll see it before everyone else? What a thrill!
Bugs: *think* Small advantages of being Warner's mascot
Movie: Attention, I say attention! A German scientist was knocked unconscious by a big frying pan! Some important documents were stolen by the storage!
They see the scene of Daffy hitting himself with a hammer, both laughing
Bugs and Penelope: Hahahahaha!
Pg 56
But the laughter was cut off when the scenes they recorded that day were passed
Movie: Kitty... Kitty Kelly!
The scenes recorded that day do not fit at all with the film, you can tell that the film is poorly edited
Movie: Bugs, please help me! General Pandemonium has kidnapped Sylvester! He believes he knows something about the stolen documents!
Bugs and Penelope look strangely on each other's faces at the cinematic atrocity they are watching
Bugs: Listen Kitty, if you don't go with him, you'll be sorry...
And the final scene was the death blow, first seeing Bugs happy on the projector
And then Penelope happy
Pg 57
The movie ends, the light comes on, Carthy stands in front of them with great joy
Carthy: TA-DA! You liked it?
The silence is so dense that it leaves no room for any noise to break it
Bugs begins to criticize him with confusion to his face
Bugs: Carthy, doc, what the fuck was that? That was a…cinema-berration!
Penelope also criticizes him with concern to her face
Penelope: All our scenes don't match on the movie, it completely bad edited, thank goodness no one else saw it, everybody was gonna laugh at us
Carthy just takes the tape out of the projector
Carthy: I'm sorry guys, but it's the best I could do, those scenes of yours were the best recorded
Pg 58
Carthy places the tape in a tin to deliver it, causing fear in both of them
Carthy: Unfortunately I'll have to deliver it like this
Bugs and Penelope: WHAT?! WHY?!
Bugs and Penelope stop him, taking the can and film from him, hugging them
Bugs: You can't deliver this, we'll look frowned upon, like the worst Looney Tunes short ever!
Penelope: This movie guarantees you a Razzie, without exaggerating!
Carthy tells the truth to its main actors
Carthy: I'm sorry guys, but the movie will stay like this, I can't do anything else
Bugs and Penelope stare at the ground, knowing it's their fault
Carthy: Because…when you share a screen, the recording doesn't work, you can't even say “A” when you see each other. How can I make the film work if my protagonists can't work together?
Carthy takes the film and the can off the rabbit and cat
Carthy: I'm sorry Bugs, I'm sorry Penelope, but the movie will stay like this, with our careers ruined and everything.The End
Pg 59
Bugs and Penelope kneel before the director, taking him by his legs
Bugs: NO CARTHY! PLEASE! GIVE US ANOTHER CHANCE! YOU STILL HAVE A MONTH TO DELIVER IT! WE CAN DO OUR SCENES TOGETHER! WE PROMISE!
Penelope: PLEASE MR. MCDOUGLAS! WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE THE FILM COME OUT WELL! BUT DON'T SEND THAT MOVIE! WE BEG YOU!
Carthy is pensive
Carthy looks down again, and looks at the sad eyes of the rabbit and the cat
Carthy: Okay, we'll reshoot the movie
Bugs kisses Carthy on the lips, while Penelope hugs his body
Penelope: THANK YOU MR. MCDOUGLAS! WE PROMISE NOT TO LET YOU DOWN! WE WILL ACT SO WELL THAT THE MOVIE WILL BE AS MEMORABLE AS THE ORIGINAL! EVEN IF 10, 20 OR 30 YEARS HAVE PASSED!
Carthy wipes Bugs' kiss
Carthy: ACK! I WANT YOU BOTH... First thing tomorrow, you will perform together with the others for the first time, and I remind you, a single mistake you make, a silent scene and I deliver the film. Get it?
Bugs: Like crystal
Pg 60
Leaving the Warner studio and seeing that it is still early, Penelope decides to walk home
But Bugs takes her by the hand, to take her home down the rabbit hole, like that one time again
Bugs: We have to... practice... talking... between... us
Penelope holds Bugs' arm so she doesn't get lost and accompany him on his journey through the underground tunnels
Penelope: I... I understand... let's go
Bugs and Penelope enter the rabbit hole, being observed by Carthy
Carthy breaks the fourth wall again, with a big smile and winking at the reader
Carthy: My plan worked
Pg 61
As they walk down the burrows, Bugs and Penelope continue to talk as best they can
Bugs: And... how... Have you been?
Penelope: Well... not bad... I think so
Neither of you wants to make eye contact
Bugs: What... Were you... doing... while... waiting?
Penelope: Not much... buy things... reading books... Watching old movies
Bugs begins to take an interest in what she says
Bugs: What books... you like... reading?
Penelope: It will sound weird... but... I like... Lovecraft
Bugs: Lovecraft? Seriously? I also like his books!
Penelope: Really? My favorite book is...
Bugs and Penelope look at each other with a smile
Bugs and Penelope: The Whisperer in the Dark!
Bugs and Penelope begin to feel less nervous, as if the ice is slowly breaking, as they continue to walk through the tunnels
Bugs: I also like "The Dream Quest...
Penelope:... of Kadath"? I adore it too, it's the first book I read from him!
Pg 62
*THE NEXT DAY*
Bugs and Penelope arrive on stage on time, ready to perform
Bugs: What's new, doc?
Penelope: Ready for my approach, Mr. McDouglas!
Carthy: Wow, it looks like you're ready!
Carthy pushes them to hurry them up, to dress in their outfits to start filming
Carthy: In that case, go get your outfits to start the rehearsal, don't delay
Bugs is in his white suit and is sitting in the back of the bar, totally in the dark, ready for his first scene
Penelope is holding Sylvester's hand, about to rehearse her first scene
An address board appears
Assistant: Carrotblanca, Scene 1, Take 1, Action!
Pg 63
Collage of different scenes from Carrotblanca
Pg 64
It's the scene that defines everything, if they can't do the first scene, there's no turning back, Penélope is surrounded by posters saying that she is guilty
Bugs makes a flashback gesture, nice memories
Penelope looks up, with a forced smile and somewhat sad eyes
The entire management team awaits Bugs' response
Bugs enters a bout of nostalgia
Bugs:... Kitty... Kelly
Pg 65
Bugs and Penelope begin rehearsing their scenes, the first in the car, with Penelope rubbing her body in Bugs
Then a scene of them dancing a twist
Then the scene of both toasting at a romantic dinner
Carthy is smiling because the movie can go from strength to strength
Then we see the scene of Penelope asking Bugs for help
Penelope: Bugs, please help me! They arrested Sylvester! General Pandemonium believes he knows something about the stolen documents!
Pg 66
Bugs refuses to help, asking her to leave
Bugs: I stick my cotton tail for none
Penelope begins to cry, begging him
Penelope: *whiming* *sobbing* Please! *crying* I beg you! *inconsolable crying*
We move on to the last scenes of the film, a scene where Penelope says goodbye to Bugs
Penelope: Bugs, I don't know if I can leave you again
Bugs: Listen Kitty, if you don't go with him, you'll be sorry...
They then record the last scene of Bugs hugging Penelope, before the parachute opens
Carthy resonates the end of the essay
Carthy: AND CUT! GOOD JOB YOU TWO!
Pg 66
Bugs and Penelope emerge from under the parachute
*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*
Everyone applauds Bugs and Penelope because they were finally able to finish their scenes without problems
*clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*
Sam: Finally!
Daffy: There goes my chances of being the star
Carthy fires everyone to rehearse later
Carthy: Perfect, crew, I want you all to rehearse this Friday at the same time
Everyone: AYE AYE CAPTAIN!
As everyone leaves, Carthy watches as Bugs takes Penelope's hand and carries her to the rabbit hole
Bugs: Carefully
Penelope: Don't worry
Carthy smiles at his actors
Pg 67
Bugs and Penelope walk through the tunnels, talking
Bugs: You did very well
Penelope: You too
*25 DAYS BEFORE DELIVERY*
Bugs and Penelope return from rehearsal, walking through the tunnels
Bugs: And what is your relationship with Pepe? It's your... boyfriend or something?
Penelope: We are “something” only on the screens, off the screens... we are just... friends
*20 DAYS BEFORE DELIVERY*
Bugs and Penelope continue to talk after finishing their rehearsals
Penelope: And you have a girlfriend? I hear you had someone
Bugs: Not exactly, they were just actresses, nothing happened after we filmed
*15 DAYS BEFORE DELIVERY*
Bugs and Penelope sing a song as they return home
Bugs: There's a room where the light won't find you
Penelope: Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
Bugs and Penelope: When they do, I'll be right behind you
*10 DAYS BEFORE DELIVERY*
As they walk, they both spin around, holding hands
Penelope: So glad we've almost made it
Bugs: So sad they had to fade it
Bugs and Penelope: Everybody wants to rule the world
Pg 68
Bugs drops Penelope off at her house
Penelope: Thank you for walking me back home, Bugs, you're so kind, a gentleman…well, gentle rabbit
Bugs: It's nothing, I like spending time with you, these weeks were amazing
They both hug very warmly
Bugs returns to the rabbit hole, while Penelope is about to enter the house
Bugs: I'd better come back, Carthy said tomorrow will be special
Penelope: I'll see you tomorrow at the audition. Goodbye Bugs!
Bugs says goodbye to Penelope before sneaking into his rabbit hole
Bugs: GOODBYE PENNY LANE!
It was then that Penelope blushed with that affectionate nickname that Bugs told her
Penelope: *gasps* He called me... With a nickname?
Pg 69
From inside the rabbit hole, Bugs is surprised because he named Penelope with a nickname so tender, beautiful and with a song as well-known as it is beloved
Bugs: I called her... Penny Lane? That felt...
In a shared painting, the heart of both jumps from his chest, showing the reality, both had fallen in love
Bugs:... So good! I feel... Splin free!
Penelope: Bugsy! I'm sorry I’m not good at nicknames
*5 DAYS BEFORE DELIVERY*
They're all on set, where Carthy is serious for an important reason
Carthy: All right, folks, it was 2 months of beautiful rehearsals... But it's time for the truth
Everyone: The truth?
Carthy: That's right, and I hope you give 120% of you, because today...
Carthy mentions to everyone that there will be no rehearsals today, but something else
Carthy: TODAY WE WILL SHOOT THE MOVIE!
Everyone is serious, because it's time for the rehearsals to have their effect and the actors to give us a good movie
Carthy: Go get your outfits and your stalls, and make me feel proud!
Everyone: SIR YES SIR!
Pg 70
Bugs, Daffy, Yosemite Sam and Sam Shepard are in their outfits, ready for final rehearsal
Penelope, Sylvester, Tweety and Pepe are also ready for the definitive recording
Carthy grabs the bullhorn and gives the signal
Carthy: EVERYONE TO THEIR POSITION! IT'S NOW OR NEVER!
The assistant director shows the movie clapperboard, with seriousness on his face
Assistance: CARROTBLANCA! SCENE 1 TAKE 1!
Carthy gives the initial order
Carthy: AND ACTION!!
END
