Welcome to Hoff Knows Talent.

You guys look great- There are all

kinds of exciting acts tonight-

There he is.

How's my little guy?

Actually, David Hasselhoff,

I've got a problem.

Hmm.

Is it the jitters?

Believe me, even I used to get them.

Now, I find a good way...

No, it's not

the jitters, David.

I'm starting to realize I might

be a really selfish rabbit.

Look, I love drumming.

But when my

friend needed me most,

I left him in a house full of

highly trained ninja bunnies.

What am I going to do?

Hmm.

A dilemma as old

as time itself.

I know that if I left right

now, I'd be giving up fame.

And untold riches.

And untold riches.

And all the bunnies

you could ever want.

Yes, and all the...

You're not really

helping much, David.

Like, at all!

And Fred could be

in real trouble.

Go to him.

Go to him.

Give it up for Mr.

David Hasselhoff!

It's The Hoff#

Fred?

Anybody home?

Fred?

Uh-Oh.

The Easter moon

is on the rise.

At midnight,

her radiant beams will fill up

the Egg of Destiny with magic.

Then, at last, Senor Bunny,

I will be Easter's new king!

Carlos, I'm

warning you!

The Egg of Destiny is too dangerous

in the hands of a chick.

Its power can only

be wielded by a bunny.

Oh, yes? Well, look at me wielding.

I'm wielding!

Ooh-ooh. I'm wielding

it again. Okay?

Oh, Carlos, can I wield

the Egg of Destiny? Please?

No.

Can I at least touch it?

OW!

There, you touched it.

That was harsh.

But, Carlos,

think of the children.

Yes, but I am! The childrens.

They don't want

candy and chocolate.

From now on,

their baskets will be filled with

clumps of bird seed, dried crickets,

and the world's finest worms!

Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!

Mmm!

Have you

completely lost your mind?

Silence! You see,

this is why he must go.

It's this lousy attitude

of his. Well, no more!

The more sensitive chicks in the

room may want to avert their eyes.

What about

a compromise, okay?

The bunny gets Easter one year

and the chick gets it the next.

Enough of the chitty-chatty.

Bye-bye, Easter Bunny.

Hello! Hey, everyone.

I'm back. Yep, it was all a

big mistake, but I'm alive.

Hey, Larry, Kyle,

what are you doing in there?

E.B.! You're alive!

E.B.!

Dad? Fred? What's going on?

Gummy cannons! In position.

Fire at will!

That hurt!

Put him on the belt, boys.

Dice him, slice him, and pulverize him!

That is a bit excessive.

Oh, no! Son!

E.B.!

The reign of

the bunny is over!

Oh!

Somebody help!

Help us!

What are you doing? Don't worry, Dad, Fred.

I'll be right there.

To the Egg Sleigh!

And step on it!

Are these ropes made

of black licorice?

Yes, yes, they are.

Horrible stuff!

We can eat through them.

I suppose you can.

You see, my friends?

It is just like I told you, no?

Oh, tonight is going to

be a very big night!

I'm flying!

Without even

flapping my tiny wings.

Everything is

coming up Carlos!

Got it!

Good man, Fred.

Hop on.

All right. Let's go!

I'm starting to get a sense

of impending doom now.

Ow!

No!

I made it!

All right. Here we go!

Come on, Fred!

Whoa!

Look, Fred! There he is.

it's E.B.! E.B.!

The Egg Sleigh!

You've got to stop Carlos!

Don't worry, Dad!

I'm on it!

The power is

surging through my veins!

It's good to be the king.

En?

What is happening to me?

Uh-Oh.

Whoa!

Come on out, Carlos.

It ends here!

You think you can

just take over Easter?

Well, guess what?

I actually think

you're on to something.

You're a bright man,

you're an innovator.

I like it.

Give it a whirl.

One second. Hey!

You finish?

Um... Not quite.

Take that!

Get off!

Whoa!

Incoming!

Why?

Bunny slam!

OW!

You father was a fool to think you

would ever amount to anything.

Here comes

Carlos Yellowtail

Hopping down the chicky trail

Easter is coming your way

Okay, Phil,

initiate take-off procedures.

Aye-aye, Captain!

Chicks, fall in!

Attention!

Attention.

Here we go.

Right naps!

Left flaps!

Okay, we're good to go!

Let's go, Phil.

Easter is waiting.

Righty-o.

Uh-Oh.

Oh, boy.

All right, Phil, let's get

this bird in the air!

Yeah!

Phil!

Knock off the dancing!

Yes, sir. Sorry.

Lifting off!

No way! show’s not over.

Phil!

What are you doing?

Fly us straight!

Oh, no, Phil!

Knock it off!

Keep her level!

NO, Phil.

Phil! Phil!

Phil! Please, Phil!

Phil!

Phil, I'm feeling a little...

Will you please stop dancing?

Phil!

Woohoo!

Yeah, that's right!

This is not over!

Ah-ha!

Thank you very much.

Dad!

E.B.!

I was so worried, Son.

I'm so sorry for

all the things I said.

Me, too, Dad.

And your friend, here.

He saved my life.

He was magnificent!

Well, I...

I kind of was.

Hey, thanks, Fred.

Well, Easter's in a few hours.

I have to get going.

What?

Dad, I'm ready.

But, E.B.,

what about your dream?

I'm still going to

be a drummer, Dad.

But I can be

the Easter Bunny, too.

There's just one thing.

All right, then.

Fredrick O'Hare.

Yes, Sir.

Please step forward.

Down on one knee.

Left or right,

doesn't matter.

And now, place your forefinger

on the Egg of Destiny.

Oh...

EB., you as well.

By the power vested in me,

I pronounce E.B.

and Fred O'Hare

co-Easter Bunnies.

Hear, hear!

Wow!

Now go forth and deliver!

Woohoo!

Wonderful brunch, Bonnie.

Thank you, dear.

It is delicious.

Totally agree.

This is amazing, Mom.

You should open a restaurant.

I'm serious.

That is a very nice

thing to say, Fred.

And can I say that

I love your costume?

I think it is so cheerful.

Thanks, Mom.

But it's a uniform.

I'm so tired.

Yeah, you were up very late

delivering pizzas.

Easter baskets.

Every time you say "Easter

baskets," I hear "pizza. "

It just helps me cope.

Guys,

can we not do this today?

Oh, they're here.

This is exciting.

That is my

co-Easter Bunny.

Hey, why don't you guys come see me off?

It'll be fun.

Well, that's weird.

Who do you think it is?

I don't know.

Wow.

Fred.

Fred, wait.

This is

amazing!

I know, right?

It's pretty cool, huh?

I'm sorry I gave

you such a hard time.

Aw, Dad, come on.

You don't have to...

I'm proud of you.

Thanks, Dad.

Easter Bunny.

Wow!

The one who

makes it all happen.

Say the words, Fred.

Bring it home.

Happy Easter to all!

And to all, a good mid-to-late morning.

On Cheepers! On Peepers!

On Biscuit and Buzzy!

On Chucky! On Clucky!

On Feathers and Carlos.

Yeah, come on, Carlos.

Put your back into it.

I've been flapping all night, so

just cut me some slacks, okay?

One little coup and suddenly

I'm everybody's chump.

Fred, what did she say?

Was that about me?

You speak Chinese? Just when I

think I can't love you any more...
