Looney Tunes: Back in Action Page #6

Synopsis: Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are up to their feuding ways again. Tired of playing second fiddle to Bugs, Daffy has decided to leave the Studio for good. He is aided by Warner Bros.' humor impaired Vice President of Comedy, Kate Houghton, who releases him from his contract and instructs WB security guard/aspiring stunt man DJ Drake to capture and "escort" Daffy off the studio lot. Suddenly a sidekick without a hero, the duck decides to ally himself with DJ, whether he likes it or not. Consequently, Daffy is on the scene when DJ discovers that his famous movie star father was Damian Drake, known for playing suave international spies onscreen, is actually a suave international spy in real life--and has been kidnapped by the evil insane nerdy, prancing villain known as Mr. Chairman of the equally nefarious Acme Corporation. It seems that Damian knows the whereabouts of the mysterious magical and powerful Blue Monkey Diamond, and the Chairman will do anything to get his hands on it! With Daffy

I will transmit a beam around the world...

which will transform

everyone but me into monkeys.

Now take them away!

Don't you think that'll get lonely...

Mr. All My Friends Swing from Trees

and Pick Fleas Out of Their Furry Butts?

Lonely? I suppose I could use

a little human companionship.

Thanks a lot.

I've seen you notice me.

I know I'm hot.

But I prefer someone

with a little more oomph.

I prefer Mary!

Hello, Mary.

We're a cute couple, don't you think?

Take those future simians away

and lower the Monkey shield.

Earthlings have

the worst sense of direction.

What do you know, he fell for it.

I guess I owe you $5.

Did you order satellite?

I don't even have cable.

You know, when I fired that duck...

I never would have seen this coming.

Gotta be a way out of this.

You can get out of this, son.

You've just got to set your mind to it.

Besides, I'm hearing my dad's voice

in my head.

Actually, I'm down here, son.

Hold on, Dad, I'll be right down!

That was too easy.

What was that noise, son?

- You know how I always wanted a dog?

- Yeah?

I just got one.

Wait. Maybe he wants to play fetch.

- Nice mechanical doggy.

- Good dog. Want to play?

Good boy. Fetch!

It looks to be

a deadly mission requiring strength...

cunning and nerves of steel.

So good luck, Bugsy,

I'll keep the engine running.

You tricked me!

What's up, Darth?

Now I must incapacitate you

with my bubble gun.

Ain't that cute?

Of course you realize this means war.

You go that way. I'm gonna go this way.

Bad dog! Sit!

I don't want to put you

under any added pressure...

but judging by the vibrations

of these train tracks, I've got about...

one minute and forty-two seconds left.

Down! Put him down.

What am I gonna do?

What would Damian Drake do?

What would Duck Dodgers do?

Wait a minute. I am Duck Dodgers!

Yes, I'm going to be the hero

of this picture!

Duck Dodgers to the rescue!

Duck...

It's you-know-who to the rescue!

It helps if you don't say the name.

Bad dog!

Disgusting Earth rodent.

Now to neutralize that duck.

This can't be good.

Now the diamond will bathe the Earth

in a monkey-transforming glow.

Ten, nine, eight, seven...

six, five, four...

three, two, one.

Thwarting evil makes me so angry.

That takes care of that.

Thanks, Daff.

Darn dark side!

Are you all monkeys yet?

Checkmate, Mr. Chairman.

You're going down.

Come on, say it.

Just a little "You're my hero"?

- Nope, sorry.

- Bugs, say it, come on.

- Not interested.

- No one will ever know.

I'm really proud of you, D.J.

I knew I could count on you.

Yes.

Dad, I think we should move.

- What was wrong with Beverly Hills?

- I meant from this spot.

- I think we scratched it.

- Don't worry, it's a rental.

You guys, you pulled it off!

- You pulled it off, all right.

- Give me that.

Way to go, Daffy.

You didn't do so bad yourself, stunt boy.

To set the record straight...

all credit for saving the human race

goes to Daffy.

Exactly.

Oh, no, you don't, buster. You're the hero.

Wait a minute. Pronoun trouble.

I'm the hero.

I'm the hero, all right.

Are you gonna introduce us, D.J.?

- Dad, this is Kate. Kate, this is--

- Damian Drake.

I'm a really big fan... of your son.

Daff, you achieved your goal

of being a hero.

Yep, but you didn't achieve your goal...

of getting me back in your stupid movie.

- Cut. Great, that's a wrap.

- That's it, guys.

Remind me to get a new agent, will you?

Thanks.

Wait a minute. Maybe we are a team.

Bugs and Daffy. No, Daffy and Bugs.

What do you think?

Excuse me, do you remember me?

I threatened your manliness,

and you got me fired?

I know you.

Do I know him?

You must be someone that I got fired.

See, I get a lot of people fired.

- You be good now.

- So like I said...

Not again. He's down again. Are you okay?

- Come on.

- He said he can do stunts.

Bugs is here. Gotta go.

Daffy, you're right.

- The usual place, Mr. Bunny?

- Very good.

From now on, you and I are going to be

equal partners in this thing.

No more second banana for you.

Thanks, pal. I really appreciate this.

At last my star is rising.

All my hopes and aspirations...

What do you know?

My luck is changing already.

Go home, folks.
