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?

Touch it.

No way, Jose.

You want your talent back? Just touch it.

They don't think you can play the game.

There's one way to find out.
