Can we ask you a favor, Mr. Bunny?

We don't want to go back.

-We hate it there.

-lt stinks.

l was thinking, could we stay here?

Please!

Oh, brother.

Looney enough?

Okay. Take this.

Give me the ball.

Touch it.

No way, Jose.

You want your talent back? Just touch it.

You'll walk around with a bad game

for the rest of your career. Touch it.

Careful, Pat.

We've tried everything else.

Come on.

Touch it.

The rest of you.

They don't think you can play the game.

There's one way to find out.
