be disappointed?

Well...

Just one.

Yeah.

Fred?

Fred, where'd you go?

Yeah, I'm right here.

I just remembered I have a really

great solid lead, actually.

You do?

Yeah, a great job.

Tell me about it.

I can't really tell you about it.

But it's big.

You're going to love it.

It's really big!

Hey, what's with the "Mr.

Serious" all of a sudden?

Wait, is this where you tell me

you want to see other rabbits?

Because I'm

open-minded, Fred.

E.B., I have

the most amazing idea.

When I was a kid,

I told everyone

that I saw

the Easter Bunny, right?

No one believed me,

even though

he left me this.

This chocolate bunny,

which I kept.

Oh, dear.

And tonight, it just hit me.

I realized that it was

my destiny to see him.

Just like it was my

destiny to meet you.

It's all been

leading up to this.

Up to what?

You don't want to be

the Easter Bunny, right?

I know who can

take your place.

Who?

Me!

I'm sorry, Fred. Would you mind

repeating that in my good ear?

I want to be the Easter Bunny.

What was that for?

That is for people

who have gone loony!

A human Easter Bunny?

Come on, Fred!

It doesn't make sense.

A bunny makes no sense.

You deliver eggs.

If you wanna get all logical,

bring logic into this,

you should be

an Easter Chicken.

What? Come on.

People might resist it at first.

But, hey, change can be a good thing.

You don't want the job anyway.

The pressure is ungodly!

It did a number on me.

Do you know there was a

period of roughly nine months

where the sight of a colored

egg made me want to vomit?

And rabbits are

physically unable to vomit.

So it was just hours of...

Nothing coming out.

I don't care.

Imagine that, Fred.

Don't care.

If you can be a drummer,

I can be the Easter Bunny.

Fred, you can't just

be the Easter Bunny.

My dad has to give you

special powers. Eh.

Besides, the Easter Bunny

has got to be fit. Ow!

And you're a little scrawny.

Finally, the Easter Bunny

has got to have

lightning-fast reflexes.

Hi-ya!

Knock it off. I'm serious.

I can do this.

I will be the Bunny.

The stubborn old bunny

refuses to crown anyone else.

This can only mean

one thing, my friends.

We are going to have to take

matters into our own hands.

Um, um, um.

Carlos? Carlos?

Yes, Phil?

We don't have hands, per se-.

No, it's a figure

of speech, Phil.

Right. Got it.

Too long have we labored under the

yoke of the bunnies' tyranny.

Well, no more!

It's time for

the Easter Chick to rise!

Um, um...

Yes, Phil?

Just thinking out loud.

But wouldn't it be easier just to

wait for E.B.? I mean, he can fix this.

Phil, if you love E.B.

so much, why don't you marry him?

E.B. is gone, okay?

Oh.

There is a new boss.

Really? Who is it?

Is it me?

Are you being serious?

Yes. Hi.

Just rehearsing for the

big Easter sing-a-long.

Okay, everybody, this time

sing a lot more better.

And one, and two.

And three and four.

It's me. Me, you idiot.

I'm taking over.

Oh. I see.

But first,

I must get in shape.

I will be the Bunny.

You know,

I've been thinking, Fred.

Oh!

Hey, E.B., what's up?

Fred, listen.

You helped me become a drummer.

And how do I repay you?

I jellybean all over

your dream. Well, no. No.

I've changed me mind.

I've seen the light.

We're going to do this.

And nice job on the eggs.

I told you I was serious.

Seventy-two.

Conditioning is a must, Fred.

Seventy-three.

This is fun. Just a couple of

dudes hanging out, getting buff.

I could do this

all day!

Me, too, Fred.

I feel great.

Phil, how am I doing?

Be honest.

Next up,

speed and agility, Fred.

I want you to run so fast that you're

just a handsome blur with great hair.

Ready? Go!

Fred, that was awesome!

For a couple of seconds,

you touched greatness.

I can feel the burn!

But it's good.

it's a good burn.

Phil, too fast!

Too fast, Phil!

Sorry, sir.

Come on, Fred!

Keep hopping!

Woohoo!

That's the spirit!

The student is

becoming the master.

The Padawan is

becoming the Jedi!

The human being is

becoming the Easter Bunny.

I can feel myself

getting stronger.

Phil? How do I

look from back there?

My buttocks,

they are pretty firm, yeah?

It's a wonderful

butt, Carlos.

Si, si, I know.

That's very good,

in a crude, primitive,

offensive-to-me-personally kind of way.

What do you think?

Uh...

It's a little too

hot for the kids, no?

Very impressive!

But I can bet you can go even faster.

Way to go! Stay calm, Fred.

Dogs can smell fear.

And you have nothing

to fear but fear itself,

and this dog I'm riding on.

Wow!

Nice work, Fred.

Oh, no. Not today.

Ah!

What about Fred?

He'll be all right.

Whoa.

Hey, I know you guys.

You're the Pink Berets,

right? Ha!

E.B. said you guys were so

scary, but you're really...

You're really adorable.

Oh.

Easter Island.

Oh.

They brought me here to lead them

in all things Easter, of course!

Hello, my fellow Easter-teers.

I am truly, truly humbled

by your choice in me.

And as I stand

before you, I...

Oh.

Is this part of

the Coronation ritual?

Phuh!

Murderer!

Picking up a little

tension in the room.

Carlos!

What's going on?

Who is this person

and what's he doing here?

Wow, you're him.

The big guy. I'm Fred O'Hare.

I met you...

Well, I didn't meet you.

I saw you when I was a kid.

You look great.

Seor Bunny,

brace yourself.

This heartless human,

he has killed your son!

What? E.B.?

Did you Say "kill"?

NO, I didn't kill E.B.

Oh! Liar!

This can't be so.

Where are the Pink Berets?

Non

Wait a minute.

That's not...

Silence, human!

Can't you see you have

broken his poor old heart?

Are you kidding me?

Old friend,

I share your sorrow.

E.B. was like

your son to me.

I'm trying to

keep it together.

But don't you worry,

I will take care of Easter.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Does anyone care

that that's a Butterball turkey?

No, no, that is E.B.

He has the same

shirt and everything.

My deepest condolences.

Attention, all bunnies.

There will be a service for E-B.

in the egg painting room.

Carrots and coffee to follow.

Carlos. What are you up to?

It's called

a coup d'tat.

Which is French

for coup d'tat!

But, Carlos.

You've been my most trusted

number two for years.

Guess what? I am sick

of doing number two.

It is our time

for number one!

Yeah? We the bosses now.

All hail Carlos!

We the bosses!

We the bosses! Woohoo!

Pink Berets!

Seize him!

Woohoo!

Hey! Don't do that.

He's a beloved holiday icon!

No!

You can do this.

You are the world's best rabbit drummer.

You are a superstar.

You are a jerk

for abandoning Fred.

Hey, I don't need that

kind of voice in my head!

Yeah, well, you should have thought

of that before you abandoned Fred.

Look, you better tell me

something positive about me.

I can't. You abandoned Fred.

Oh! Hello, who is

this gorgeous devil?

Please.

Is E.B. in here, please?

E.B.?

It's "E.B." That's me.

Oh, all right, well, E.B.

, you're wanted on stage in two minutes.
