Take 2: Elmer's Pet Rabbit || Video

[The feed clicks on and Bugs is standing in the middle of the frame wearing a rather dated uniform. It's a bit big on him, not really made in Toon size.]

Alright. I dunno who Stitch or Tommy Care-ahs is but, if did it what da people want? Eh, I've done sports pictures before.

[He wriggles his eyes brows.]

Alrigh', let's get dis over wit.

Do it!

YAY!

I'll cheer on your side even if Bill Murray isn't around to save the day.

Bill Murray?

[He wiggles his nose and leans in.]

Don't know the guy. Say, I never asked ya what year it was for ya.

He was in Groundhog Day. [And others.]

2014. [He might have grown up on Loony Toons, obviously. He can only hope his daughter would understand the sheer coolness levels of this, and if not, Chrysalis does, so it's fine.]

[Okay. Bugs' eyes widen a bit but, he'd known about the whole time thing. just..]

You mean folks still know who I am all da way inta the next century?

[Firm and serious nod.] Even more people now.

There was a movie where you had to save the Earth with the rest of the gang from space aliens with a basketball game from the 90s. [The 1990s were a weird era let's be real.]

I'm guessing you're from before that?

[Hang on, Carver, Bugs' is kind of reeling from the fact that he'll stick around to be almost eighty years old!]

Waitaminute, dis was a movie? not just a cartoon?

[Oh, right. he scratches his ear.]

Uh, we just finished filmin' Rabbit a Seville so, 1950.

[Yeah, but you'll look fantastic!]

Yeah. Feature length and everything. There's... [Scratches behind an ear.] A bunch of them by my time? I'm not an expert or anything. I'm just a cop, not in the biz. Even if I'm from California too, I'm more North. San Francisco and north of that.

I gotta thank you for the opera ones though. My girlfriend won tickets to the Opera and the only way I could get through it was imagining you and the others in the roles. [Nod nod.] Luckily she agreed with me that you guys did it better.

Eh, notin' wrong wit Frisco. But, it's kinda, well, I ain't gonna be too worried now. Tanks, mac.

[Oh, that's plural. Huh, guess they make more. not that Bugs' minded. He enjoyed them too!

He gives a coy little smile and giggles.]

Gosh, doc, I bet you say dat ta all da famous cartoon stars.

[Look at the happy bunny in the uniform! Anastasia is all full of curiosity now.]

What's going on, Mister Bunny? What's this about "sports pictures?"

Dat's a good question, kid. I've jus' been hearin' talk all over town about how I'm s'pposed ta have some sorta basketball show.

[He spins the basketball on his finger.]

I ain't even played.

Oh, I see...

[Anastasia idly sorts items on her bedroom desk for a brief moment.]

So if you have never played basketball before, what have you played?

[She's not sure why she's even asking. She knows less than nothing about sports.]

Just baseball, doll. It's da national pass time ya know.

[He does another spin and ends up in an old costume.]

But dat's all I've played.

[An odd nickname to be certain, but her curiosity still remains elsewhere.

Basketball, she at least has some idea about watching the boys at school, however...]

What is baseball? And a pass time of what nation?

[Sorry Mr. Bunny, she's dead serious.]

See, dat might be a hard question. You ever heard a the United States of America?

[Because if not, things might get harder to explain.]

[Sorry, Bugs, but her answer is a resounding-]

No, the name is unfamiliar to me.

[The "United" part of the name is charming however.]

I kinda figured. Well, dat's da name of the place I'm from. What's yours?

[Might as well make small talk so he knows what he's up against.]

Our official name is the Kingdom of Regnum Nivibus. Usually simplified to Nivia.

I wonder of there are any books in the library about the United States of America. It's a charming name.

[Probably not the best idea where early history is concerned.]

There should be, most Eoirths have it.

[Nivia? That did not sound familiar at all. Of course he wasn't supposed to be good at geography either.]

More 'en charmin', Lady.

[...no. No, this? This isn't weird. He literally grew up idolizing himself.

This is cool. This is fine.]

You play?

[Bugs looks at the jersey for a second before looking back up.]

Noooope. I've only played baseball. Didn't tink basketball would ever catch on.

It's good stuff--got me through college. Guess word gets around. I mean--I'm assumin' you're gettin' ready for that supposed game I keep hearin' about. Which, by the way, I'm not in.

[A beat.]

I'm, uh--Tommy Karras, that's me. I'm him.

[Cue a blush, paired with a sheepish smile.]

Prolly should've led with that, sorry.

Ah! A university boy!

[He drops the basketball and pulls off the outfit in one go. He leans forward with a laugh.]

I'm Bugs Bunny, nice ta meet ya, mac. Eh, I ain't used ta havin' ta introduce myself neither.

So, I'm guessin' dat none a dis was your idea?"

Hey, first I heard of it was when I grabbed a coffee 'bout an hour ago. Gave 'em my name and they started askin' me 'bout the game. I mean, it could be a hoot, but first I'd have to agree to play.

I know you don't play, but do you like the game? I mean, hell--screw the rumors, maybe if people are into it we could get somethin' together in a few weeks. Could be a good time, y'know?

Kid, I'm always up for anyting dat makes people laugh. But like I said, I ain't even really watched it. It ain't too big in my time. Between you and dat nice stuffed shrit up top, I figure dat ain't always gonna be da case.
