Bucky and the Squirrels Page #8

Synopsis: Back in 1968, a one-hit wonder rock band from Appleton, Wisconsin vanished in a plane crash somewhere in the Swiss Alps. Now, 50 years later, the aircraft has just been discovered with the Squirrels still inside - frozen alive. After they're returned home, thawed, and are struggling to return to their former selves, the IRS arrests them for owing a half century of back taxes. To stay out of prison, the Squirrels have to prove they can pay the money back by convincing the government they're capable of performing once again. Unfortunately, they're not.

Especially if we're

in prison.

Adams:
Wait, you guys,

Listen to yourselves.

No, Dr. Adams, we know, okay?

We know what you're gonna say,

we're not gonna walk away.

No, listen to yourselves.

You sound normal again.

What are you talking

about, Dr. Adams?

Sh-she's right.

Doug:

Oh, my God, she's right.

You're right.

back to normal.

I thought stuff like that

only happened in the movies.
