SkippyScenes with Skippy 26
[A wide shot of Slappy's Treedome and a mailbox is shown in Burbank, California. Inside Slappy was sitting on a chair, watching TV. The TV zooms in to reveal a construction site and a sign that reads, SPIKE CONSTRUCTION. A young Slappy wearing a construction hat, skipping on a construction building. She holds a bucket of RED HOLT BOLTS. She throws a red bolt of the site, then gets a hammer and pounds it]
[scatting "Working on the Railroad"] Dah da Dee Da de da dee dee, duh de duh da dah!
[A Big Bad Wolf, wearing red overalls, peeks out of the site. He pulls his overalls revealing some high heels and Walks over. He imagines Slappy as a turkey and a sign that reads, SQUIRREL RUMP ROAST. The wolf licks his jaws and gets a fork and spoon out of his pockets. Slappy holds the bucket of RED HOT BOLTS. The wolf tries to eat Slappy, but she throws red hot metals into his mouth. He holds his neck and fire burns his head. Slappy hits the wolf with the hammer. The wolf spin and falls very far and pops up to his regular self and his eyes bugle out]
Wild take number 32. Hah ha. Regular as clockwork. [burps] Wish everything was regular as clockwork.
[The wolf hits the ground, turns into 3 babies, which cry.]
If there's one thing that I hate,
SYSlappy and Young Slappy
It's a crybaby. [laugh]
[The first Slappy coughs and spits, while the second Slappy holds a sign that reads, THE END]
Now that's com-
[But the commercial changes the channel and a box that reads TOTALLY AWESOME ACME SNAX and Three turtles come out of the box wearing hats and they have canes]
CCCereal commercial, singing
Totally awesome Acme Snax, they are fun and energy packed, sugar coated sugar sacs.
Eh, stop it. [throws the remote at the TV lying down] Flipping network cuts out my famous end line for some razza-flavin' crudball commercial there. [a knock on the door] Ehh, somebody get me a peen-ball hammer. [walks to the door and opens it] Who is it?!
SSSkippy Squirrel
[glomps on his aunt into her house] Aunt Slappy!
[The screen pans to Skippy sitting on Slappy's tummy]
[to the camera] What can I do? He's my nephew. Hello, Skippy.
SkippyHi! [hopping up and down] What happened to your TV set?
It's having a bad day. Pardon me, but you've got a little excess energy there Skippy.
SkippyMust be these totally awesome ACME Snax. Want some?
[takes out a piece of ACME Snax] Now there's a color-founding nature. [eats it, then makes silly faces, blows like a whistle, shoots out of the tree like a rocket, and tumbles down the stairs]
SkippyNeat, huh?
[Slappy goes to the kitchen, pours a whole lot of ACME Snax into the sink drain, and shreds them, causing the drain to gross out in disgust. Skippy looks up to his aunt innocently]
[pats Skippy's head] Ah, no wonder you watched that Bonkers show. That junk food's rotten your brain here.
Skippy[hopping up and down again] What'cha looking for?
I'm gonna make you some brain food. That's right, I'm gonna make you my famous walnut fig dough surprise.
SkippyWhat's the surprise?
[deadpan] I'm outta walnuts. Let's go visit Doug the Dog. [Skippy stops hopping in fear] We'll get his walnuts out of his old walnut tree.
SkippyDoug the Dog?! But he hates you, Aunt Slappy! He's been trying to eat you for years!
[to the audience] Thank you, Mr. Exposition.
Look, you've seen all my old cartoons, right?
SkippyAbout a trillion times!
I've wrestled with Walter Wolf, Sid the Squid, and Beanie the Brain-Dead Bison. This Doug guy here is nothin'.
SkippyYeah, but those were cartoons and this is real life.
[to the audience] Don't tell him, he might crack. Look, Skippy. I've seen and done every trick in the book- [Skippy sees a large dog looming behind her] Hold it there. You're doing the old "Frozen Take" bit, which means Doug the Dog... [pulls a club out of her purse and clonks Doug without looking] ...was right behind me. Heh-heh-heh!
SkippyThat's just like in Prehistoric Slappy!
That was Cave Girl Slappy 1932 directed by Pizz Peeners. Eh, but let's not be anal. Let's get some walnuts. [walks up to the walnut tree with Skippy. Doug lunges at her] Hold it! [Doug freezes; spins around] Enchiritos! Get your enchiritos here! Enchiritos, mister? [Doug takes out money with a rapid nod] Ah, you're my kind of a guy who like them extra hot! [pulls out an enchirito, revealing a dynamite, wiggles her eyebrows twice to the audience, and hands it to Doug] Here ya go, amigo. [takes the money and walks off. Doug bites the enchirito, but noticed the dynamite too late, and it explodes in front of his face, leaving his teeth fall off] What a schmutz. [picks up his teeth, and hands them to Skippy] Here. Put them under your pillow tonight. Maybe you'll get some dimes.
SkippyGreat! [follows his aunt]
[A dazed Doug hits the ground with a thud]
[Bumbie's Mom gets shot, causing Skippy to drop his popcorn]
BBumbie
Mommy?
Skippy[starts to tear up] Bumbie's Mommy... [cries]
[surprised out of her nap] Pat, I'd like to buy a vowel! [she then stares at the crying Skippy]
Skippy[crying] Bumbie's Mommy!
Calm down kiddo, it's just a movie. She's not really...
SkippyDead, she's dead. Bumbie's an orphan! [resumes his loud sobbing]
WWalrus Lady
[annoyed, tapping on Slappy's shoulder] WHAT is that child's problem?!
Me! And in about 2 seconds, you're gonna share that problem.
LLady
Well! I never!
Well, you should. It's fun. [pushes the walrus lady back into her seat and sits down herself. Skippy looks up and lets out a weepy gasp in horror as the background changes red. A terrifying forest fire has started in the movie, and Skippy moans and cries in fear now] What do you say we get some air, eh?
[Skippy lets out another scared sob]
BBumbie
[prances through the wildfire in fear] Mommy?
[Skippy bawls loudly at this. Slappy picks him up and starts carrying him out of the theater. The walrus lady is about to say something]
Say one word and I'll throw dynamite down your pants!
We're going to Tumcumcari, New Mexico.
Why?
To meet Bumbie's Mom.
SkippyBumbie's Mom? She's... [cries loudly and grossly]
[to the camera] Pavlov would love this kid.
[comes out of her tree, drinking a can of diet walnut soda] Aah, diet soda. Heh. Gotta watch my figure. [showing her legs] Hey, somebody's gotta watch it. [chuckles, and walks away from her tree]
Skippy[from the window] Where're you going, Aunt Slappy?!
To the store for some buttermilk.
SkippySpeeewww!
Hey, they make it, somebody's gotta drink it.
[Skippy, dressed as a Girl Scout, rings the doorbell. Candie Chipmunk opens the door]
SkippyHey, miss lady. Would you like to buy some cookies? All the proceeds go to help Squirrel Scouts to be more like you.
Isn't that appropriate. I'll take one box. [Skippy winks at the viewer. She takes the box and goes inside. Skippy speeds off] I love helping out children less perfect than I. [opens the box, takes out the same can, and gasps. "You're a Horse's Ass" plays in the background. She growls]
[Wipe to Slappy's tree where and Skippy laugh. Candie throws the can at the back of Slappy's head offscreen]
Oof! [her hat landed on Skippy's head] Let the games begin.
[Candie skips out of her tree to her mailbox. She opens the mailbox. She opens an envelope]
[reading letter] "Dear Candie Chipmunk, congratulations. You have been chosen to appear on the new game show entitled 'The New Game Show'. Come to the studio right away." Imagine me on a game show. What'll I wear?
[Wipe to The New Game Show. Candie wears corn around her head]
HHost
All right, Candie. You've already won a washer-dryer, a wet bar, a lexus, The Love Boat, Cher's house, and the planet Venus.
AAudience
Ooh. Aah.
HHost
Do you want to keep your prizes, or trade them for something possibly even bigger behind curtain number 3?
[Show girl shows the curtain]
[in unison with Wakko] Hello, nurse!
Boys, go fig.
I'll take...the curtain!
[The curtain reveals both Slappy and the can. "You're a Horse's Ass" plays in the background. Candie shakes with insanity. Cut to Slappy's tree where she and Skippy watches TV as Candie explodes offscreen]
SkippyShe exploded!
It's a toon thing. [a knocks on door] Shoot me [she opens the door, and Candie throws the can at her head from outside the tree offscreen] Look at that, she ain't recycling.
[Scene changes from Winter to Spring. Candie Chipmunk comes out of her tree, skinny and tired. "The Dance of the Reed Flutes" from "The Nutcracker Suite" by Pytor Tchaikovsky plays, at the same time a semitone lower, as Candie, looking skinny and tired, walks over to Slappy's tree. She knocks on the door. Slappy opens the door]
CCCandie Chipmunk
[tired with insanity] I've been waiting, and waiting, and waiting! I can't take it any longer! Give it to me! GIVE IT TO ME! GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!!
[Skippy Drops an anvil on Candie offscreen]
What about the plot, Hemingway? What's an anvil got to do with this story?
SkippyWho cares? Anvils are funny!
Kids, what the heck can you do? Watch a pro, Skippy. [presents the can wrapped up like a baby as Candie comes out after being squashed] Congratulations, you're a mother.
[stunned from the anvil] Who knew? [folds back blanket and sees the can, "You're a Horse's Ass" plays once last time in the background; then grins goofily] Oh. He looks just like his father.
Now, you and Mr. Dumpster have a happy life. Buh-bye.
[walks off in a daze] Burp for mommy.
Now, for that buttermilk.
SkippySpeeww!
It could be worse. It could be prune juice.
[Skippy turns to the viewer and shrugs. Fade to black]
[Slappy's cartoons have just received terrible reviews from Lean Hisskill and Codger Eggbert]
SkippyThose mean men! How could they say such horrible things?!
Now Skippy, it's a free country. Everyone's entitled to his own opinion.
SkippyBut they're wrong! You're the funniest cartoon character ever!
Calm down, Skippy.
SkippyWe can't let 'em get away with it, Aunt Slappy! [runs to a closet and comes out with bandoleers of bullets and a pair of small missiles] Let's go get em!
Skippy, no! What are you thinkin'?
Skippy[looks sorry] Oh. You're right, Aunt Slappy... [goes back into the closet, and pulls out an even bigger pair of missiles] We'll need the big bombs!
That's better, kid! C'mon, let's blow 'em to Kingdom Come!
SkippyYay!
S1 E36 Critical Condition/The Three Muska-Warners

[First lines; cartoon opens up outside Slappy's tree. Fade to inside. Skippy walks down stairs]
Mornin', Skippy.
SkippyHi, Aunt Slappy. What's for breakfast?
A brand new cereal from Smellogs, Branimaniacs. [shows him the cereal]
SkippyWow, we're on the box!
That's right, kiddo.
SkippyDo we get paid for that?
You don't...but just look at what's inside! [pouring the cereal into the bowl, in slow motion] Branimaniacs is chock-filled with tasty bran, crunchy fiber, natural roughage and...tiny sugar cubes shaped like my head. [sets it onto the table, with a carton of milk, a plate of bacon, eggs, and half of a lemon] It's an important part of this balanced breakfast. So dig in, Skippy. [pours milk on both of their Branimaniacs]
SkippyYou bet! [eats the cereal]
And remember to start your day with Branimaniacs for that get up and go feeling.
[Both eat the cereal, gulp, and, suddenly, their stomachs rumble. Then they shake, and shake again as their eyes merge]
SkippyI gotta get up and go.
I'll race ya.
[They both run in opposite directions. Cut to Warners dancing next to giant cereal box]
[singing] Eat Branimaniacs. Nutritionally, it lacks, but this cereal attacks all of your digestive tracts. It's Branimani-
[speaking, looking sick] My stomach's in pain-y
[singing] Branimaniacs!
[A harmonica version of "Home on the Range" plays in the background. A butterfly flies to a trail. "Kentucky wilderness 1767" appears on the screen, then disappears. A blue rabbit and a purple rabbit hop into view, sniffing each other, and the ground. Suddenly, a tree is falling. They hop away. Suddenly, the song changes to upbeat music. A swarm of bees flies for their lives. One bee stops to look left and right and flies to the swarm as Daniel Boone drives his oxen-driven wagon, pushing down a tree]
[singing offscreen] Daniel Boone was a great big guy. Yes, a really big guy. He knocks down trees and frightens off bees so they'll cry.
[A swarm of bees flies up as Daniel Boone knocks down a couple of trees, using his wagon. A bee flies into the camera, with the inside of his mouth filling the screen. Wipe to Daniel Boone]
[hopping off his wagon] Kentucky at last! I'm gonna build me a little log cabin right here, then a log cabin for my oxen, then a summer cabin. The only thing I love more than building cabins is chopping down trees. [chops down a tree] Birch is good wood for clothespins. [and another...] This oak'll make a dandy shelf. [and several more...wipe to him and his wagon outside Slappy Squirrel's tree] Well, I'll be kissed by a wolverine, a bessemer elm! That's the best wood around for makin' a front door.
[singing offscreen] Daniel Boone saw a great big tree. An attractive tree. But he didn't know it was home to a squirrel named Slappy.
[Inside, Slappy and her nephew, Skippy, are making candles over a cauldron of hot wax]
SkippyHow come we're making so many candles, Aunt Slappy?
Skippy, it's the 1700s. What'd you expect? Rollerblading?
[Suddenly, the tree begins to shake]
SkippyWhat's that?
Maybe my colon. I hope not. I'll go find out. [goes outside to find Boone chopping down her tree] Hey! You break this tree, you're gonna pay for it!
Looky here, you old squirrel. I'm Daniel Boone, the best frontiersman that ever lived!
Well, I'm Slappy Squirrel, and I'm so old my blood is solid. What are you doing to my tree?
I'm fixin' to make it into the front door of my new cabin. Now, git, or I'll make a cap out of ya!
[slamming the door] I got yer cap right here.
No old squirrel's gonna stand between me and my cabin!
[As Boone keeps chopping, Slappy peeks out of an upper window, holding a cauldron of hot wax]
Excuse me, Boone? Is there any chance you might find another tree?
No!
I was hoping you'd say that. [pours hot wax on top of Boone, freezing him mid-swing] Maybe he can rent himself out as a menorah. [laughs]
[Boone sneaks up to Slappy's tree under cover of a bush]
[singing offscreen] Daniel Boone had another big plan. Yes, a crafty plan-
SHH! [laughs] I'm gonna give that squirrel my famous panther call. She'll think a real panther is coming and run out of that tree like a fat badger. [laughs, and does a weak imitation of a panther roar]
[Inside, Slappy and Skippy are churning butter]
Skippy[sarcastically] Gee, Aunt Slappy, a panther.
[sarcastically] You think so? Maybe we oughta run for our lives. [Boone roars again. She walks out the front door and churns the butter onto the ground near the bush] I'm running away like a fat badger! [Boone peeks out of the bush and comes face to face with a real panther who roars in his face. Boone tries to run away but slips on the butter. He cries out in pain as the panther starts mauling him] The panther's in my bridge club.
[singing offscreen] Daniel Boone was very, very sore. Yes, painfully sore. He picked a log and charged Slappy Squirrel's front door.
[Boone attempts to ram Slappy's door open, but she opens the door and trips him up, sending him into a spinning wheel which launches him and the log back out]
SkippyWho was that, Aunt Slappy?
Maybe a flying Wallenda, I'm not sure. My eyes are bad.
[dazed after hitting a tree] Daniel Boone was a great big guy... [thud]
[Last lines; at the end, Slappy and Skippy are drinking tea by the fireplace]
SkippyWhat do you want to do tonight, Aunt Slappy?
How about a little music, Skippy? [to the Dover Boys] Hit it, boys.
[singing] Slappy Squirrel was a grand old dame. Yes, a grand old dame. She whipped Daniel Boone, now she pays us to sing of her fame.
What can I say? I love the lyrics.
