Penelope and Bugs say goodbye
Penelope: Bugs, I don’t know if I can leave you again
Bugs: Listen Kitty, if you don’t go with him, you’ll regret it…
But Sylvester speeds up the process, with both cats already on the plane
Sylvester: Say goodbye, dear Kitty
Penelope: Goodbye!
Bugs is left alone on the airport tarmac
Penelope sees that Sylvester doesn't pay attention to her and only pays attention to the mustachioed glasses, while Pepe harasses Penelope

Carthy: SORRY I HAVE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE LAST SCENE!
Cameraman: MISTER MCDOUGLAS!
Pg 8
Carthy approaches the scene and is about to take a picture
Carthy: Say cheese you two!
Bugs looked at Penelope with love in his eyes
The same goes for Penelope, looking at Bugs with a lot of love in her eyes
Carthy drops his camera in surprise, the cameramen are open-mouthed
All the actors are also left with their mouths open because of what they are seeing

Everyone: CHEERS!!
Bugs invites Penelope home
Bugs: Hey, Penny-Penelope, do you want to come home? I rented a movie, I don't know if you'd like…seeing it together
Penelope: Of course, Bugs, I'd like to
*SOME HOURS LATER*
After the party, Bugs and Penelope are watching a movie while eating popcorn.
Penelope: An Ocean Between Us, I never see this one
Bugs: Hope you like romcoms
Both fell asleep peacefully on the sofa, covered by a blanket, Penelope sleeping in Bugs’ shoulder
Pg 12
It's August 30, Carthy presents the film to WB executives, where they're watching it seriously, while Carthy is nervous about not knowing if they'll like it or not.
As soon as the film ends, everyone applauds Carthy for his work, feeling happy, although none of the executives smile, they are just pretty serious
Executives start talking to Carthy
Executive: You did a great job, McDouglas. Everything seems perfect
Carthy: Thank you sir
But executives highlight a problem for Carrotblanca's director
Executive: Except for a small problem in the film, a mistake that could have been accidental, but I think you can edit it, can't you?
Carthy: What do you mean? What problem?
All the executives look at it very seriously, when they freeze the screen in Bugs and Penelope's kiss
Executives: That problem!
Carthy: But...
Pg 13
Carthy tries to understand what executives want to tell him
Carthy: What's wrong with it? It's just a kiss
Executive: That kiss is a very serious problem, idiot
Carthy takes one of the executives by the shoulders to talk
Carthy: But that kiss is... I think... the best part, it wasn’t planned, it just happened, naturally, so naturally, it’s absolutely artistic, are you asking me to remove it?
Executive: First of all, don't touch me
Carthy is forcibly seated in the chair for safety
Executives begin to explain all the bad stuff
Executive: Who is she?
Carthy: Miss Penelope? Penelope Pussycat?
Executive: And she's...?
Carthy: A Cat?
Carthy looks down as they explain to him
Executive: Who is he?
Carthy: Bugs Bunny?
Executive: And he's...?
Carthy: A rabbit, but…
Pg 14
Carthy chair flips to a blackboard
Executive: Besides a rabbit, what does him symbolize?
Carthy: He is the mascot of the Looney Tunes... and Warner Brothers
Executive: And he's the most popular Looney Tunes, while the cat...
The executives draw Penelope and Bugs, where Bugs is very big and Penelope is very small
Executive: They barely know her! She's not popular at all! No one remembers her! why would our most iconic figure be with a Looney Tune girl who doesn't have anything Looney... Not even Tune?!
Carthy: But the two of them...
The executives delete Bugs and now draw Pepe and Penelope together, holding hands
Executive: That cat is only known for that stinky skunk and nothing else, no one even knows her name!
Carthy: I get it, but sir, listen to me
Executive: The cat is here to be chased by a skunk, not to make the rabbit fall in love with her!
Carthy: Can I have a word?!
Executives turn around with bitterness in their faces
Carthy watches as the executives put Pepe and Penelope into a heart, while leaving Bugs out of it
Executive: The cat will keep herself with the skunk…and the rabbit will be out of this!
Carthy: So that's what you want?! That Bugs is left alone?!
Executive: He won't be alone for so long, we have plans for him
Pg 15
Executives pull out a poster with the Space Jam movie
Executive: Look at the multi-million dollar plan that snuck through our office!
Carthy: That's... Michael Jordan?!
Executive: The GOAT himself!
Executives show Carthy the script
Executive: And this will be a real film to be remembered for generations, maybe in the future we'll hire Michael Schumacher for a sequel called "Race Jam" and I wonder if Jackie Chan would be interested in a movie called "Spy Jam"?Mmm…”Base Jam” or “Bat Jam”? Barry Bonds or Derek Jeter?
Carthy: Hey, here in the script says that Bugs falls in love with a girl, I think Miss Penelope can have that role if-
One of the executives kicks Carthy in the chest, throwing the chair back
Executive: WHAT DID WE JUST EXPLAIN TO YOU, JELLY BRAIN?!
The executive grabs Carthy by the clothes and yells at him
Executive: WE DON'T WANT THAT CAT IN THIS FILM!! OR IN ANY OTHER SIMILAR FILM!! ONLY IN SHORT FILMS WITH THE DORKY SKUNK!!
Carthy: And who will be the girl?
The number of girls lining up at an audition outside an office is shown
Executive: *voice off* We have plenty of time and thousands of options to choose from, so I'll only explain this once, McDouglas!
Pg 16
The executive brings Carthy close to his face to speak seriously and coldly
Executive: Take that kiss out of the movie, you'll edit it again, that Kiss will disappear, or I'll be forced to FIRE YOU, YOUR TEAM, and most of all, CENSOR the Looney Tunes until further notice!
Carthy: Sir, I don't know if I have time to-
The executive throws Carthy to the wall, punching him
Executive: IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO CUT A SECOND OF YOUR STUPID FILM, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO PUT YOUR NAME AND YOUR FUCKING CREW'S NAME ON HOLLYWOOD'S BLACKLIST! PERMANENTLY!
Executives forcibly remove Carthy from the office with the film in his hands
Executives stare at McDouglas, eyes of fury
Executives: You've got until tomorrow, McDouglas…SAY. NO. MORE!
Executives close the door on him
*BOOM*
Pg 17
Carthy heads home with the film in his car, very serious about the problems he carries
Carthy stops at a cafe for a drink, leaning against the bar, worried
Carthy: What am I going to do?
Carthy only lifts his head a little, as he tries to eat a pie and have a cup of coffee
Out of nowhere Carthy is surprised by a pat on the back, it's Bugs
Bugs: Hey, what's new, McDoug?
Carthy: AAAH! WHO?!
Carthy greets Bugs, changing his mood to a more cheerful one, as if nothing had happened
Carthy: Bugs, it's you, what are you doing here?
Bugs: I should ask you that, but since you beat me, I'll answer you
Pg 18
Penelope walks through the door of the cafe, smiling and walking towards Bugs and Carthy
Penelope: Hello, Bugsy! OH Mr. McDouglas! What a surprise to see you!
Bugs: I'm on a date with Penny Lane!
Penelope kisses the rabbit's mouth in a quick kiss
Penelope: How are you, my love?
Bugs: And I should have asked that first, my lil’ doll
The couple turns to talk to Carthy
Bugs: What are you doing here, doc? Did you go to show the movie to the bosses?
Penelope: *gasps* Tell me they liked it!
Carthy is with a face of fear, concern, trying not to say anything
Carthy: They...
As Bugs and Penelope watch, holding hands, seeing their wholesome relationship
Pg 19
Carthy raises his arms in excitement, smiling and cheering
Carthy: THEY LOVED IT!!
Bugs and Penelope: YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH!!!
Penelope kisses Bugs
Bugs does the same with Carthy
Penelope: Waiter, a few bottles of root beer, let’s celebrate!
The 3 make a toast to Carrotblanca's "triumph"
Bugs: A toast, to our work, to our effort, to the 2 months we lived and above all…
Carthy drinks from the bottle, but without looking up, knowing that there are things he can't say
Penelope: LOVE!!
Bugs: You said it, Penny Lane! BLESS YOU! Hey doc, you got ahead of yourself!
Pg 20
*AUGUST 30 23:50*
Carthy is in the film editing room
Carthy is with his hand shaking in front of the computer
Carthy: Mr. Bugs...
Carthy selected the kiss part of Bugs and Penelope and the cursor is above the "CUT" option
Carthy:... Miss Penelope...
Carthy places another short scene on top of the cut scene
Carthy:... I hope that one day...
Carthy gives him the movie to save, and then sends it to be reprinted on tape
Carthy:... May you two forgive me
Pg 21
*AUGUST 31, AVANT-PREMIER*
Everything is a magic gala, lights everywhere, everyone is ready for Carrotblanca's presentation
FLA: And all this for a 7 minutes short, imagine if it was the whole movie
The stars are coming, Daffy, Yosemite Sam, Elmer, Pete Puma...
Then Sylvester, Tweety, Sam Shephard, Pepe Le Pew arrive...
Our couple is arriving in a limousine, Bugs and Penelope ready to go down arm in arm
Penelope: Ready?
Bugs: Of course, just you, me and...
But just out of nowhere Carthy appears to stand between the rabbit and the cat, so that no one knows about the relationship of the two, the director has a big and forced smile on his face, to cover any doubts
Bugs: CARTHY? WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE, MCDOUG?!
Carthy: Don't you think it's a good idea for the 3 of us to go in together?
Penelope: But... well... no... yes... I don't know what to answer
Pg 22
The entire cinema is ready, all the lights are off, and the screen is on
The title of the film "Carrotblanca" appears
Foghorn Leghorn observes his scene
Foghorn: Attention, I say attention! A german scientist was knocked unconcious by a large frying pan, somebody stole important documents from his storage
Daffy sees his first scene, puffing out his chest
Daffy: Who wants troubles?
Everyone: We want troubles!
Daffy: How much troubles?
Everyone: So much troubles!
Bugs watches his first scene
Bugs: Hey, what's new, doc?
Pg 23
Tweety laughs at his scene
Tweety: I don't know what you're talking about, Mr. Bugs? Hehe-hehe
Yosemite Sam watches his first scene, grabbing his whiskers with joy
Yosemite: I’M GENERAL PANDEMONIUM! THE MEANEST, NASTIEST ABSOLUTELY SOLDIER IN THIS MAN’S ARMY! I GOT A WORD YOU GOT THAT IMPORTANT DOCUMENT!
Sylvester and Pepe watch their first scene
Pepe: My Little sweetie meatball, it is love at first sight, no?
Sylvester: Hey!
Bugs and Penelope watch their first scene together
Bugs: Kitty... Kitty Kelly!
Pg 24
Everything is smiling but only one person is not smiling, it is Carthy, standing near the corridor
Penelope: Dear Bugs, I cannot go with you. We’re different you and I. Remember, we’ll always have Pongo Pongo, Helsinki, Pismo Beach and Timbuktu. Love, Kitty
Carthy leaves the premiere, walking slowly toward the door with his head down
Carthy: I can't watch anymore
The only one who saw Carthy leave was Bugs, with a confused face
Carthy is far from the movie theater, but he can still hear the movie, approaching the moment he wants to avoid
Pepe: Coffee? Tea? Or moi?
Penelope: AAAAAAH!!
Bugs and Penelope are holding hands, happiness on their faces
Bugs: Here it comes, Penny Lane!
Penelope: Wouldn't you, like, hehe, imitating the actors?
Bugs: Of course!
Pg 25
All the Looney Tunes are smiling because Bugs and Penelope's kiss is coming
Bugs and Penelope are about to kiss while watching the movie screen, but…
On the movie screen, their kiss was never projected, instead it was only an attempt to kiss between the two, while the parachute fell
Out of nowhere everything was a disappointment for the Looney Tunes
Everyone: Huh?!
Everyone: *gasps*
Everyone: Where’s the…?
Especially for Bugs and Penelope, their faces were of sadness and shock, unease, as if they had been betrayed
Bugs: And our kiss?
Penelope: Where is it?
Pg 26
All the people applaud the film, with strength
*CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP*
Audience: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!
The Looney Tunes also applaud, but none smile, they are just disappointed and sad
Daffy: What?
Sylvester: Who?
Tweety: Why?
Yosemite Sam: Where?
Elmer: How?
Pepe: Sacrebleu!
Warner Brothers executives clap with a creepy smile
But there are two empty seats in the front row, Bugs and Penelope are gone
Daffy: Bugs?
Elmer: Wabbit?
Sylvester: Kitty?
Pepe: Madame?
Carthy is already in the parking lot
Pg 27
Carthy gets into his car, thoughtful about what he did
Carthy: What did I do?
A blow makes him react
Bugs: YOU BASTARD!!
Bugs, furious, is kicking the door of Carthy's car, to force his way in
Bugs: WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!?!
Penelope climbed on the hood and began to scratch the front window, also crazy with anger
Penelope: TELL ME YOU DIDN'T DO WHAT WE THOUGHT YOU DO!!!
Carthy: Listen, it's not what it seems!
Bugs Break Carthy's Car Glass
Carthy: AAAAAAAH!!
Pg 28
Penelope breaks the front glass of Carthy's car
Penelope: I'LL GIVE YOU 3 SECONDS TO EXPLAIN, THREETWOONE!!
Carthy runs out of the parking lot, while Bugs starts throwing rocks, cans, and more things in the way at him
Bugs: HOW DARE YOU CUT THAT PART?! YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!
Carthy is caught leaving the room, through the backdoor, so that no one can film anything, being thrown to the floor by Bugs and Penelope
Bugs starts hitting him
Bugs: Filthy Rat, Crawling Animal, Scum of Life, Badly Made Abomination
Penelope starts ripping all his clothes with her sharp claws
Penelope: Subhuman, Ghost of Hell, Damn Vermin, How Much Damage You've Done To Me
Pg 29
Penelope hangs Carthy
Penelope: Vermin, Poisonous Snake, Undone Life, I Hate You and I Despise You
Carthy manages to separate from Bugs and Penelope, with his face and body injured and his clothes torn
Carthy: Listen, I had a reason to do that, if I didn't, they’d say no to the movie
Bugs and Penelope just look at him with contempt
Carthy continues to explain the situation
Carthy: I would have been fired, my team, you, there would be no more Looney Tunes, did you want that? Huh?
Bugs responds with something else
Bugs: AND YOUR NAME WAS GOING TO BE BLACKLISTED BY THE WHOLE HOLLYWOOD, DID THEY SAY THAT TOO, RIGHT?!
Carthy: What? How-?
Pg 30
Bugs looks at him with disdain, without a hint of empathy, just the coldness of a betrayal
Bugs: You fell for the oldest trick of those shoddy drones! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THEY HAVE TOLD ME THE SAME THING AND I DIDN'T LISTEN TO THEM?
Carthy is baffled by this
Bugs: DO YOU THINK THEY TOLD ME "DRESS AS A WOMAN", "KISS THAT HUNTER ON THE MOUTH" "COMMIT CRIMES" "MAKE CONTROVERSIAL PROPAGANDA"? NO! THEY DIDN'T WANT ME TO DO THAT! AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I DID IT … ANYWAY!
Penelope tries to calm Bugs down
Penelope: Bugs, calm down!
Carthy: I didn't just do it because of that, I swear, I did it because they didn't want you and she-
Penelope hears that, she gets angry
Carthy: OOPS!
Penelope lets Bugs loose
Penelope: DON'T HOLD BACK, HUN!
Bugs: AAAAAAAAH!!
Pg 31
Carthy fears for his life and health because of the fury of the beating that Bugs could give him, covering himself with his arms
But at that moment, arms hold the rabbit
Bugs: HEY! WHAT?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
And some executives take Penelope away from the place
Penelope: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! DON'T TOUCH ME!! GET AWAY!!!
Executive: Come, stupid cat, you have to go back with your boyfriend, the skunk
Penelope: But I don't want to! BUGSY!! HELP ME!!!
Bugs is also surrounded by WB executives, taking him away
Bugs: PENNY LANE!! WHERE ARE THEY TAKING HER?! DON'T TAKE MY GIRL AWAY FROM ME!!
One of the Warner executives thanks Carthy
Executive: Good job, McDouglas, you got the job…well done
Pg 32
Penelope is so angry and sad, she begins to cry her rage
Penelope: CARTHY MCDOUGLAS!! I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAAAATE YOOOOU!!
Bugs is taken away from the place, while Carthy continues to kneel, staring as the WB executive leaves for where the rabbit is
Bugs: TWO-LEGGED RAT!! ... I'M TALKING TO YOU!! ... BECAUSE A CRAWLING BUG!! ...
You can see that Bugs is also crying his pain, his anger and other negative emotions
Bugs: EVEN THOUGH HE'S THE MOST DAMNED COMPARED TO YOU, HE'S VERY SMALL!!
Executive: Don't worry about his grievances, friend
We see how the executive already has a photo of Lola in his hands
Executive: Soon, sooner rather than later, that HARE will forget about that ALLEY CAT
Carthy is left on his knees, defeated, sad, crying helplessly because he knows he screwed up
Executive: There is no ESCAPE!
Carthy: *think* SERIOUSLY! WHAT DID I DO?!
Pg 33
*2 WEEKS LATER*
Carthy continues to write scripts for Warner Brothers
Carthy sees Bugs passing in front of him, but the rabbit doesn't even want to see him
A few days later, Penelope finishes a photo shoot with Pepe, where she comes out smelling bad, holding her nose
Carthy tries to assist her but Penelope only stretches out her hand, flatly refusing to help
Penelope: DON'T TALK TO ME!! I DON'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR YOU!!
Carthy is watching TV at home, where it's a top movie
Television: Thank you for tuning in to channel 26, CINECANAL, the supreme cinema channel, next in our top 100 movies of all times, in 14th place is the classic of the 40s "Casablanca"
Carthy: Everything conspires against me, why God? Why? I know I screwed it bad, you don’t have to repeat it to me
Pg 34
Carthy tries to cover his ears so he doesn't hear anything about the film and shut his eyes too
Television: Beautiful war movie, where the great Humphrey Bogart stands out as the great Rick Blaine and Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund, wow, how cute they looked together in that movie, they seemed destined for a final kiss on the big screen, but...
Carthy goes into crisis, opening his eyes wide
Television:... It is one of the few films, if not the first where the protagonist cannot stay with the girl at the end
Carthy unplugs the TV
Carthy tries to call Bugs
Bugs is sitting next to the phone but doesn't answer it
Let the answering machine do the work
Answering machine: Hey, what's new, doc? Look, I'm not home right now, leave the message after the tone *beep*
Carthy: Hi, Bugs, listen to me, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to, you know I couldn't betray you, it's just that... I was scared...please, understand me…don’t be mad at me, friend…we’re still friend, no?
Pg 35
Bugs turns off the answering machine, leaving the message halfway through, he doesn't want to hear anything anymore
Bugs throws answering machine tape in the trash
Bugs: Too late for you to apologize
Carthy tries to talk to Penelope
Penelope manages to answer the phone
Penelope: Hello?
Carthy: Oh, hello Miss Penelope, it's me...
But without thinking about it, or hesitating, Penelope cuts off Carthy's call
Carthy: Cart-
Penelope: BYE!
Pg 36
Bugs is lying on his bed
Penelope is getting out of the shower
Bugs is having lunch
Penelope is reading a book called "The Civil War between Feli and Lepori"
Bugs and Penelope have a serious and determined view, in a symmetrical panel in the middle.
Bugs and Penelope: *think* If Warner doesn't want to...
Pg 37
Bugs calls Penelope
Bugs: Penny Lane, would you like to visit the Solanin Garden tonight?
Penelope answers Bugs' invitations
Penelope: I know a Japanese restaurant where we could go to eat later, do you like sushi?
Bugs keeps talking to Penelope
Bugs: You told me you like to ride bike, would you like a bike ride around the city?
Penelope continues dating offers
Penelope: What if after that we go to the pier for a moment, or the beach?
As the two lovebirds talk, a heart-shaped cloud forms in the sky
Bugs: yes, I love it, hey, there's a Chinese shadow show, they say it's good, we could go one night
Penelope: Is it the same place where there is a fireworks show? Of course! Of course!
Bugs: Great, then, I think we'll start with the first thing, Penny Lane
Penelope: See you tonight at the Solanin Garden, Bugsy
Pg 38
Bugs prepares for his date, donning a suit
Carrying a bouquet of flowers, with some catnips
The rabbit is putting perfume on his body
The rabbit is already at the entrance of the Solanin Garden
Bugs has a wide smile, eyes full of lights, lost in what they are observing
Penelope: Hehe, hello!
Bugs: Oh... my...!
Pg 39
Penelope arrives in a purple dress, totally beautiful
Penelope: I'm sorry to keep you waiting
They both kiss in an Eskimo way
Bugs: You look so gorgeous!
Penelope: You too, my love!
Bugs and Penelope stroll through the Solanin Garden, observing Japanese botanical wonders, including cherry trees
There are carnivorous plants, hanging from a garden in the sky
A garden full of bonzai, and the couple cross against the road
Bugs and Penelope: *think* …I’ll do it anyways
Pg 40
After that walk, Bugs and Penelope go to a Japanese restaurant called "Tunalga Tawada Tukara Takaida Tumoko Taseko Tumoto Tachida"
Bugs: Why so many names?
Penelope: Must be family
Bugs and Penelope eat ramen
Bugs tastes wasabi for the first time, gesturing that it's spicy, to which Penelope laughs
Bugs: *panting* Hot! Hot! Hot!
Penelope: Hahahaha, told you!
Bugs and Penelope eat the sushi, Penelope eats it without a problem, although Bugs doesn't like it
Both toast with sake
Pg 41
Out of nowhere, some food critics are photographed for his journalistic profile
Critic: I don't approve of it with a 10 because I wanted to participate in the work of the forty-seventh Ronin
Review: But we participated, Bud!
Critic: They made you an Oshi and they turned me into an Ori... IN AN ORI! NOBODY WANTS TO BE AN ORI!!!
FLA: Jugemu Jugemu Gokou no Surikire Kaijarisuigyo no Suigyomatsu Unraimatsu Furaimatsu Kuunerutokoro ni Sumutokoro Yaburakojino burakoji Paipopaipo-paiponoshuringan Shuringanno-gurindai:Gurindaino-ponpokopino-ponpokonano Chokyumeino-chosuke
The next day, in Acme's newspaper appears the photo of food critics, giving their opinion about the japanese bar "Tunalga Tawada Tukara Takaida Tumoko Taseko Tumoto Tachida"
But in the background you can see blurry, but not so much that you can't see it, Bugs appears sitting at a table, but Penelope does not appear in the photo, because some bonsai tree cover her, you can only see Penelope's arm toasting her glass with Bugs
Bugs and Penelope can't believe they were almost discovered on their date by a stranger, while holding the newspaper in their hands
Bugs and Penelope look at each other with fear and sweat slapping their bodies
Bugs: That was close
Penelope: We must... Be more careful
Bugs and Penelope: *think* If Warner Brothers see us...
Pg 42
Bugs and Penelope come to a costume shop, and they both have an idea
Bugs and Penelope leave the store with some bags
Days later, we see a bicycle race in the streets
Many cyclists are smiling while riding their bikes
We see the shadow of 2 bicycles and their cyclists, one of the shadows has long ears and the other has a long, fluffy tail
Pg 43
Bugs and Penelope pedal their bikes, side by side, without seeing his face
But then we see reality, the two are wearing masks that cover their entire faces, Bugs has a black mask, and Penelope has a white mask
Bugs lifts his mask a little
Bugs: Do you think you'll be able to keep up with me, Penny Lane?
Penelope also lifts her mask, winking at Bugs
Penelope: I hope those legs pedal as well as they jump, Bugsy
They both put their masks back on and start pedaling
Bugs: THE LAST ONE PAYS FOR THE FOOD!
Penelope: POOR YOU! I'M SO HUNGRY!
Pg 44
Bugs and Penelope are detained to be interviewed by the news
News Interviewer: We're here to interview these two masked cyclists on such a beautiful day to hop on a bike and pedal and pedal and pedal while "Bicycle Race" plays in the background
The notary tries to lift Bugs' mask but the rabbit tries to avoid it
News Interviewer: Come on, don't be shy, only a few million will see you, not everyone... Hey, those ears are familiar to me
Bugs: NO NO NO NO! I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!
News Interviewer: Hunk rabbit, you embarrass your-
Penelope: FRIEND! I'M A FRIEND! WE’RE JUST FRIENDS!
Bugs and Penelope leave the interview, without stopping
News Interviewer: Hey! Come back! I’m not done with you two! Ratings are skyrocketing!
Bugs and Penelope brake away from the city, without their masks
Bugs: Damn my fucking ears!
Penelope: Damn my fucking tail!
Both return with their bicycles to the costume shop
Pg 45
We are on the pier, full of people, enjoying the shops
We also see that the beach is full and the waves are so provocative to swim inside
But we zoom in on the "couple" of friends, they already have their masks on, but there is something else this time
Bugs and Penelope now wear robes that cover their entire bodies, leaving nothing in sight, Bugs wears a black robe and Penelope wears a white robe
Penelope: It's hot! I’m melting!
Bugs: You know we can't take it off!
Bugs and Penelope walk down the dock in their black (Bugs) and white (Penelope) outfits
Bugs: Let's see what we got here
Pg 46
Bugs and Penelope sip a soda, barely lifting their masks to place a straw underneath
Bugs wins a "Knock Up Old Lady’s Teeth" competition, a target shooting game with an air gun
Trader: We have a winner, people!
Bugs gives the prize to Penelope, a large black stuffed spider with a red spot on its back
Penelope: Thank you, my love…ly friend
Bugs: Don't thank me, my dear...um… partner
Bugs and Penelope are watching a puppet show, called "PUPPETS M.I.W"
Bugs and Penelope are dancing to the song of a boy who sang for coins
Child: DALE A TU CUERPO ALEGRÍA, MACARENA! QUE TU CUERPO ES PA’ DARLE ALEGRÍA Y COSA BUENA! DALE A TU CUERPO ALEGRÍA, MACARENA! HEY, MACARENA!
Pg 47
Bugs and Penelope are on the beach, walking around with their bodies covered by their outfits
Bugs sees the men, wearing their swimsuits or surfing suits
Penelope sees women, wearing their swimsuits of various designs and colors
Bugs and Penelope see a couple surfing, with the girl being picked up by the boy
Bugs and Penelope imagine the 2 of them instead of the couple, without their outfits, wearing some swimsuits
Bugs and Penelope: *think* One of these days...
Pg 48
Another day, Bugs and Penelope are on a date where they see a Chinese shadow show, the first shadows are 2 elephants
The second shadow is a war tank
Bugs and Penelope wish to see better and pull up their masks for a moment
Bugs: Much better
Penelope: Yup, I couldn't see anything
The next image is the shadow of a boy and a girl, about to kiss
But then the image of a wall made of shadows of bigger people, they separate them and they can't get through
Pg 49
Bugs and Penelope boo that part
Bugs and Penelope: Boooooooo...!!
The next shadow, the two people are inside a heart
Next shadow, there are not only 2 people, there are also 4 children
The next shadow, in the distance, is another adult, greeting the couple
Bugs and Penelope are illuminated by a stage light, showing their faces and blinding them for a second
Bugs: AAAH! LIGHT!!!
Penelope: The mask! The mask!
Pg 50
In the last shadow we see about 4 adults carrying 2 elderly people
Everyone applauds
Bugs and Penelope leave the Chinese shadow theater, heading for the latest plan they had
The ground is covered in fireworks, and they're about to be lit
The fireworks ignited
Show: AND COUNTING 5...4...3...2...1...
Pg 51
The fireworks begin to explode in the sky, the color scheme is pure pyrotechnic art, the explosions are an echo to the world, the shapes of the explosions are perfect
Bugs and Penelope watch the fireworks show, without taking off their masks
Bugs takes Penelope by his hand and leads her further back from the audience, to a place where they can observe the show better
Bugs: Follow me!
Penelope: Where are we going?
In the crowd we see familiar looks, including Carthy McDouglas, watching the fireworks show
Carthy: Cool!
And also, among the audience, is one of the executives of Warner Brothers
Pg 52
Bugs and Penelope are watching the fireworks show from a better place, away from the others
Penelope: What are we doing here?
Bugs lifts Penelope's mask so he can see his kitten's face
Bugs also lifts his mask
Bugs: It's just that... maybe the fireworks show is beautiful… but there's no better show for my eyes than looking into your eyes
Penelope hugs the rabbit tightly
Bugs: Besides... I have a strong desire to-
Penelope: Shut up and kiss me, Bugsy
Bugs and Penelope are about to kiss, but a spark ignites near their robes, almost igniting them
Bugs: SHIT!!
Penelope: FUCK!!
Pg 53
The fireworks show had side effects, one of the explosives did not fire at an exact point and its impact was close to the ground
People: AAAAAAAH!!!
People: RUUUN!!!
People: RUN AWAAAY!!!
People: MOOOMMYYYY!!!
Due to the explosion, some stones fly at high speed towards Bugs and Penelope
The impact of the stones hit right on the masks of the rabbit and cat couple
Bugs and Penelope: OUCH!! *think* THAT REALLY HURTS!!!
The masks suffer a small crack each
A new fire burned part of the tunics
Bugs: SHIT! SHIT! THIS THING IS FLAMMABLE!
Penelope: WATER! WATER! WATEEER!!!
Pg 54
Everyone evacuates the Fireworks show
Police: RETREAT! RETREAT!
Police: THIS WAY! MOVE! MOVE!
Police: DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!
Between all of them, Carthy leaves the place, amused
Carthy: Is this worth the ticket price? Or should I ask for a refund?
The executive leaves the place but on the other side
Bugs and Penelope took off their robes (saved from being burned completely) and masks (cracked and slowly breaking)
BUgs: They didn't say the robes were flammable
Penelope: Bugsy, we must go away
Bugs: But where?
Bugs and Penelope walk away holding hands
Penelope: Now you follow me
Pg 55
As Bugs and Penelope walk away, behind them a shadow man watches over them
That shadow man is Carthy, who is surprised to find his old friend and Miss Penelope again
Carthy: Bugs? Penelope? Will it be them?
Carthy watches in the distance as one of the executives is with a video camera in one hand and a phone in the other
Executive: That's right, I'm telling you, the stupid rabbit is still with the ugly cat, they were a bit away from kissing, we have to act as soon as possible
The Executive turns off the camera and continues to talk on the phone
Executive: Those 2 can't be together. AND THAT'S THE LAST WORD!!!
Carthy, knowing the intentions, is filled with courage to help
Executive: Turn on your radios, I'll give you the positions of the carrot and the milk
Pg 56
Bugs and Penelope arrive at an old house outside the fireworks festival
Bugs: What is this place, honey?
Penelope: Until not long ago, it was a guest house, but due to poor construction and other things, they had to close it no more than 1 year ago
Bugs enters the old house
Bugs: And what are we going to do here?
Penelope: Well, I don't know, I just wanted to have some of... Privacy with you
Bugs blushes at what Penelope says, putting a poker face
Penelope blushes too, having a shameful face
Penelope covers her face with everything she can
Penelope: NO! NOT THAT KIND OF PRIVACY! SERIOUSLY! I SWEAR TO YOU FOR ALL MY LIVES THAT I WOULD NEVER TRY TO-!
Pg 57
The executive arrived at the scene, near the guest house
Executive: I have them both, those pesky morons!
The executive begins to call his cronies
Executives: Gentlemen, come to the following address... Grandfunk street and Railroad street, in a ramshackle old fucking house
Bugs and Penelope are sitting at a table, talking about all the beautiful time they've spent together
Bugs: These dates with you were phenomenal, incredible, amazing to me, Penny Lane
Penelope: I can't deny that statement, Bugsy, I really like to spend time with you
Bugs' phone starts ringing, but the rabbit doesn't answer
Carthy tries to talk on the phone, but nobody answers
Carthy: Answer, Bugs, answer, answer, answer...
Pg 58
Warner Brothers executives arrived at the house where Bugs and Penelope are hiding
Executive: They're surrounded!
Executive: They won't go far if they run away!
Bugs starts stroking Penelope's hand
Bugs: You know, Penelope, you're... A very beautiful kitten…
The executive is near the door
But someone prevents a human figure from entering.
Executive: WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU DO?!
Carthy is in front of the door of the shelter house, with a serious view, no fear, no shoes
Executive: LET US PASS OR WE'LL FIRE YOU!
Carthy: FIRE ME! BUT YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
Pg 59
Bugs strokes Penelope's arm more
Bugs: Full of grace, beauty, bearing, such a soft fur, you have beautiful tastes, I'm very interested in you
Outside Carthy is taking a beating from all the executives
Carthy: LET THEM BE HAPPY!!!
Bugs takes Penelope's cheek, she's excited and completely blushed
Bugs: Those eyes ignite my heart and soul, Penny Lane, they are so beautiful, they fill me with life, and your smile, is the most beautiful curve of your being
Penelope: Bugsy... you make me blush a lot!
Carthy is being kicked and stepped on by executives
Executive: THERE’LL. BE. HAPPY. UNDER. OUR. RULES!!!
Penelope: If you let me talk, you are the most handsome, gentle, chivalrous rabbit, your tastes are so majestic, a fur as soft as silk, you are full of surprise and above all... Such a noble heart
Bugs and Penelope are holding hands
Penelope: And your eyes, they are 2 suns that make me so warm every time you see me, I can't fight against the magical feeling that emanates from your being
Bugs: Penny Lane, there's something so much important I want to ask you, I had this question from so much time ago and I want your most sincere answer
Penelope: Say it, Bugsy…you’ll have your answer
Pg 60
Bugs kneels in front of Penelope, without letting go of her hands, to make her proposal
Bugs: Penelope Pussycat... do you...?
But at that moment, WB executives discover both lovebirds in their romantic moment
Executive: A-HA! I KNEW IT!
Executive: Hands-on!
Executive: WHAT DO WE SAY TO YOU?! Don't see that cat and we told you not to see that rabbit!
Bugs and Penelope are separated by executives
Bugs: NO! LET US GO!
Penelope: NO! LEAVE US ALONE!
Bugs fights with many executives as long as they let him go
Bugs: LET HER GO! LET ME GO!
Penelope fights with other executives to be freed
Penelope: LET HIM GO! LET ME GO!
Pg 61
But to no avail, Bugs is knocked to the ground
Penelope is knocked to the ground by the guys in a punch too
Bugs crawls on the ground to try to save Penelope
Bugs: Penny...Lane…
Penelope also tries to crawl out, stretching out her hand to reach Bugs
Penelope: Bug... sy...
Both hold their hands tightly
Bugs and Penelope: Don't let go! *think* Don't let me go!
Pg 62
Both are pulled by the strong guys, in opposite directions, but neither the rabbit nor the cat let go no matter how much force the guys use to try to separate them
Bugs: DON'T LET ME GO! DON'T…LET…ME…GO!
Penelope: DON'T LET ME GO! DON'T LET…ME…GO!
The executives violently stomp on the hands of Bugs and Penelope
Bugs: AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
Penelope: MEOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!
The Executive looks defiantly at both lovebirds
Executive: Don't even think about it, I wouldn't mind leaving you both one-handed
Bugs and Penelope feel the terror in their bodies and decide to stop fighting the guys
Executive: I warned you not to see each other, you stupid cat, you only serve to be harassed by the stinky skunk; and you, we've got plans for you, the hottest female rabbit you’ll ever meet. And you’re gonna FUCK HER UP!
Guys lift Bugs and Penelope off the ground
Executive: I already warned you, but you didn't want to pay attention to these orders. There is no other alternative! GENTLEMEN, PAPERS! YOU TWO, TO THE TABLE!
Pg 63
Bugs and Penelope are sitting, scared, at the table, the executive places a contract on that piece of furniture
Executive: Sit down!
Bugs: What's that?
Executive: Read this, stupid cat, mentally
Penelope grabs the contract and reads it with great fear
Penelope is shocked and sad
Penelope is sadder and sadder, tears are beginning to appear
Bugs watches as the girl he loves is breaking down in tears the more he reads the contract
Bugs: Penny? Penny!
Pg 64
Penelope finished reading the contract and passes it to Bugs, Penelope can't stand it anymore, sadness and helplessness control her
Bugs: Penny Lane, what does it say?
Penelope lies on the desk, crying inconsolably
Penelope: *sobs* BWAAAAAH!!
Bugs: What does that contract say?
Executive: Now you read it, rabbit! Aloud!
Bugs start reading it
Bugs: *think* It is hereby written that the subjects Bugs Bunny and Penelope Pussycat...
Bugs is left with his mouth open, completely shocked by what he has written, with sadness and helplessness conquering his face little by little
Bugs: *think* ... for no reason, neither direct nor indirect, will they be allowed to see each other again and/or meet in any way, and must fulfill their roles imposed by Warner Brothers...
Bugs doesn't lose the impact, feels the pain, his heart stopped for a moment
Bugs: *think* ... If for any reason both registered subjects break this contract, the result will be an absolute and immediate dismissal
Pg 65
Bugs feels hands on his shoulders, it's the hand of one of the executives
Bugs: *think* ... and their names will be completely crossed out from all sides of the whole world, losing all rights (health, economic, security, among others), as well as their opportunity to find a new job
Executive: Now that you both read it! Sign!
WB Executive gives the couple a pen
Executive: Sign!
Bugs: I won't! I DON'T PLAN TO!
Strong guys take guns out of their clothes
Bugs: AH! YOU ARE CRAZY!!!
Executive: We're not asking you, rabbit!
Penelope has a gun pointed at her back and another pointed directly at her head, Penelope's fear is unimaginable
The same happens with Bugs, but he has a gun in his chest and another in the side of his skull
Executive: We're forcing you two!
Pg 66
Penelope takes up the pen
As the kitten signs, crying inconsolably
The contract is signed under the name Penelope Pussycat, with tears of pain surrounding the name, only Bugs Bunny's name is missing next to it
Executive: Now you sign, rabbit!
Bugs: I WON'T, I DON'T PLAN TO SIGN THAT CRAP!
More weapons surround Penelope
Executive: I think you do want to sign! For the sake of this WHORE!
Bugs panics and has no alternative
Executive: You don't want something bad to happen to her, like…losing her life thanks to a “lost” bullet, don’t you?
Pg 67
Bugs takes up the pen
Bugs begins to sign, completely defeated, psychologically destroyed
The contract is made, the name of both, side by side, from now on Bugs and Penelope are forbidden from any encounter, in other words, the Bunelope died
Executive: All right, since we’re so generous, we'll give you a chance to say one last goodbye... No words, just gestures
Bugs can only hug Penelope, nothing more than that, the kitten can only cry on the rabbit's chest
Penelope: I'm going to miss you, Bugsy
Bugs: Me too, Penny Lane
Executive: No words, I said!
Bugs and Penelope are about to have one last kiss
Bugs and Penelope: *think* Goodbye, my dreamboat!
Pg 68
But guys pull Bugs by the ears and other guys pull Penelope by their tail
Executive: You run out of time! Now go away!
Bugs and Penelope: NOOO!
Guys take Penelope out of the guest house
Penelope: BUGSYYYYYYYYYYY!
Bugs: PENNY LANEEEEEEEEE!
Bugs is knocked out with a blow to the back of the head
Executive: Now fall asleep, rabbit!
Penelope was also knocked out and is carried on the shoulders of a strong guy from the executives
Executive: When you two wake up...
Bugs is knocked out on the floor of the abandoned shelter house
Executive:... You won't know where the other one will be
Pg 69
*HOURS LATER*
Bugs wakes up with the sparkle shining right in his face
Bugs: Huh? Where am I?
Bugs comes to his senses, remembering everything
Bugs: OH NO! PENNY LANE!
Bugs opens the door of the shelter house to search for his beloved
Bugs: Fear not, my kitten, I'm going to save-
Bugs panics at what he sees, his face screaming
Bugs: YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!
At the entrance of the shelter house, lies Carthy McDouglas, with wounds, bruises, blood, black eyes and missing teeth
Pg 70
Bugs tries to make Carthy react
Bugs: CARTHY! DOC? WAKE UP! TELL ME YOU'RE ALIVE! PLEASE!
Bugs slaps Carthy to try to wake him up
Bugs: WAKE UP! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!!! WAKE!!! UP!!!
Carthy reacts, he's alive, he can only talk quietly
Carthy: Bugs... tell me...
Bugs: Don't try to talk! Conserve your energy! I'll call an ambulance! What happened to you?!
Carthy only answers as best he can
Carthy: I got fired!
Bugs: Fired? What are you talking about?
Carthy places his hand on Bugs' shoulder
Carthy: BUGS! Tell me... tell me you...
Pg 71
Bugs suffers a flashback, his face is shocking, disbelief
Carthy: Tell me you didn't get caught by them
FLA: YES, GENTLEMEN! THE FLASHBACKS ARE BACK!
Bugs remembers the phone call he chose not to answer
Carthy: I tried to call you…you didn’t answer
Bugs is silent, staring at the emaciated body of his friend and director
Bugs saw during flashbacks created by his own gray matter, using logic and situational awareness, Bugs imagines Carthy's "fight" against executives and strong guys, taking a beating
Bugs imagines Carthy passed out on the floor, as executives enter the shelter house
Carthy: I hope I gave them time to run away
Carthy: Tell me I was able to save you two
Pg 72
*2 HOURS LATER*
Carthy is in the hospital, on a stretcher and his body covered in gauze and casts, surrounded by lots of friends, family, Carthy’s crewmates
Bugs is among them, looking at Carthy in his poor state
Bugs sits holding his knees
Carthy: I was a hero, doc?
Bugs: *sniff* *think* Yes, McDoug, you were, but still...
Across town, Penelope is at an airport, waiting for a trip scheduled by Warner Brothers
Executive: Do you know Queensland?
Penelope is sitting in the waiting seats at the airport, taking her knees
Penelope: No, sir!
Executive: You'll live there, until further notice! Get it, cat?
Pg 73
The executive walks away, calling his phone
Executive: Hi, lady bunny, yes, I want you this Friday at the rehearsal for the last test for the movie with Michael Jordan, we think you’re the perfect choice for the female protagonista, don’t be late…um…What’s your name again? Lyla? Lybia? Lauren? Luna?
Bugs observes that in the hospital, a female rabbit with serum is assisted by her boyfriend, a cat, who is feeding her
Cat: Open big, my love
Rabbit: Aaaah!
On the other side, at the airport, Penelope watches as a newlywed couple gets off a plane, being covered by a lot of white rice
Bugs is asked by doctors for their data
Doctors: Okay, Mr. Bunny, marital status?
Bugs: …single
Penelope is also asked about the data at the airport
Stewardesses: Miss Pussycat, are you travelling with someone?
Penelope:... No
Pg 74
Image cut in half, from the left, Penelope sitting in the airport seats. From the right, Bugs sits in the waiting seats of the hospital
Bugs: We lost!
