- I want to get these bricks on the front of katie's diner

Just right.

And I have to be especially careful

Around the windows.

[Cymbals crashing]

Oh, no.

- Parade!

[Giggles]

[Drumbeat, cymbals crashing]

- I'm sorry, max.

I can't play parade with you right now.

I'm building this

For the bunny scout diorama contest.

"Diorama" is another word for "model."

Does this look familiar?

That's right.

It's a little model of east bunnyhop.

See?

There's katie's diner,

Rosalinda's gift shop,

And mr. Piazza's market.

In a diorama, it's the little details

That make all the difference.

They give it pizzazz.

[Giggles]

- Parade?

- No time for a parade right now.

Bunny scout leader is coming to pick up my diorama,

And I have to finish it before she gets here.

Why don't you play parade over there?

Thanks, max.

What am I going to do with this blob of paint?

With a little work, I can make it look like a pizza

In katie's window.

Perfect.

- Parade.

[Giggles]

- [Chirping]

- [Giggles]

[Gasps]

[Whistle blowing]

Parade.

- These stripes are just like the ones on rosalinda's awning.

Perfect.

Huh?

Oops.

Where did you come from?

Oh, no.

Stop.

You're getting chick tracks all over my diorama.

Oh!

Oh, no.

Oh!

- [Giggles]

- Whoa!

- [Laughing]

- Max, I believe these belong to you.

- Parade?

- I can't play parade with you right now.

I have to finish my diorama

Before bunny scout leader gets here.

What a mess.

There are flipping chick footprints

All over the space in front of rosalinda's door.

Hmm.

Aha!

If I paint a rectangle around the footprints,

It'll look like a welcome mat.

Rosalinda always has something pretty like that

In front of her door.

That'll give it a little more pizzazz.

- [Giggles]

Parade.

- There, that's much better.

Now, mr. Piazza's market

Needs something else.

But what?

- Oh, no.

Careful, rabbit racer.

[Gasps]

- Parade?

- There's no time to play parade, max.

Bunny scout leader will be here any minute,

And I have to finish my diorama

And clean up all this mess.

We can play parade another time.

For now, why don't you play with yappy puppy?

He's lots of fun.

Now, I've got to get back to my diorama.

- [Sighs]

Parade.

- I don't have time to clean up this mess.

I need to find something

To spruce up mr. Piazza's market.

Wait a second.

This clay could be just the thing.

[Gasps]

I can make little apples and oranges and bananas

Out of it

And put them in a fruit stand like the kind

Mr. Piazza has in front of his store.

[Giggles]

Now, that's pizzazz.

- [Barking]

- Parade!

- There.

Now mr. Piazza's fruit stand is full of fruit,

Just like the real one.

My diorama really does look like east bunnyhop.

But it still could use a little more pizzazz.

[Doorbell rings]

Bunny scout leader!

- Hello, bunny scout ruby.

Is your diorama all ready to go?

- I guess so.

I was hoping to add something else.

- [Gasps]

I think it's wonderful.

I feel like I'm walking right down the main street

Of east bunnyhop.

[Drumbeat, cymbals crashing]

- Max?

- Parade!

- Oh, no.

- What a wonderful idea, ruby.

You built a diorama of east bunnyhop

Complete with a parade down main street.

- Well, I made the diorama,

But it was max's parade that gave it that extra bit of--

- Pizzazz!

- [Chuckles]

- Vroom, vroom!

Vroom, vroom-vroom.

- Who's ready for a game of croquet?

- I am!

- Me too!

- So we just hit the balls through these hoops

With our sticks?

- Kind of,

Except the hoops are called wickets,

And you only hit your own ball

With your mallet.

- But how do we know which ball is ours?

- It's easy, louise.

Your ball matches the color of your mallet,

Just like when your shoes match your dress.

- Oh!

- I get it.

I'm blue.

- I'm red.

What's next?

- We take turns and try to hit our ball

Through each wicket,

Like this.

The first one to get through all the wickets

And hit the stake at the other end

Is the winner.

- Wow.

You know a lot about croquet, ruby.

- Grandma helped me set it up,

And we played two practice games,

So now I know all the rules.

Whoa.

There's nothing in the rules about race cars in croquet.

[Giggles]

- Race car!

- I believe this belongs to you, max.

- Race car.

- We're playing a game of croquet.

It's very difficult.

And it's even harder if your race cars get in the way.

Hmm.

If we turn the curve this way,

When your car comes out of the track,

It'll go away from our game instead of into it.

That way, we can both play.

- Race car.

- Um, who goes first, ruby?

The top color on the stake goes first,

Then the other colors in order.

- Blue, red, yellow.

- So it's valerie, then louise, then me.

Are your ready to play croquet?

Both: ready!

- Uh! Oh!

I didn't get it through the hoop.

- That's okay.

It usually takes a few tries to get it through the wicket.

Now it's your turn, louise.

- [Gasps]

Oh, way to go, louise.

- This is easier than I thought.

- Now you go, ruby.

- Huh?

Oh!

- Race car!

- Max!

I thought you were going to keep your race car

Away from our croquet game.

[Giggles]

- [Giggles]

- It's okay, ruby.

You can have a do-over.

- Uh-uh.

If you miss the ball, you miss your turn.

But it's okay.

I'll catch up.

- Okay.

My turn.

- Nice sh*t.

I'm next.

- Wow.

That's two for two, louise.

- [Giggles]

First time lucky, I guess.

- Time for me to play catch-up.

Both: great sh*t, ruby!

- [Giggles]

- [Ribbits]

[Ribbits]

- [Laughs]

I guess I'm just a natural.

- Watch this!

- Yay!

- I did it with my eyes closed.

- [Chuckles]

I'll need to keep mine wide open if I want to catch up.

- Vroom, vroom!

- [Ribbits]

- Whew!

- [Laughs]

Croquet's even more exciting than I thought.

- Race car?

- Your rabbit racer nearly blocked my sh*t, max.

Come on, let's see if we can find a way

To keep him on your side of the yard.

Look, max.

No wonder rabbit racer came flying into our game.

You need to point the loop-de-loop this way.

And no more jumps, okay?

There.

Now you can play with your race car

And we can play croquet.

[Upbeat banjo music]



[Gasps]

- Yay!

[Giggles]

[Laughter]

- Ooh, I could win if I hit the stake

With my next sh*t.

- Me too!

- But I go first.

And all I have to do is get my ball through two wickets,

Go between your balls, and hit the stake.

Both: right, ruby.

[Laughter]

- Race car.

Race cars!

- Oh, no.

- Nice sh*t, ruby.

- Not another one.

[Gasps]

- Wow, ruby!

You won the game!

- But that's not--

I wasn't supposed to.

- [Giggles]

You said the player whose ball goes

Through all the wickets and hits the stake first wins.

- Croquet is the most exciting game ever.

- It's not usually quite so exciting.

Only when you play with max and his--

- Race cars!

- Ready to earn our bunny scout fitness badge?

- I think so, ruby.

- Mrs. Huffington is coming to show us what we have to do.

- Yoo-hoo.

Are there any bunny scouts here who want to get fit?

Both: we do!

- What do we have to do?

- Follow me.

You're going to do the huffington huff and puff.

- Huff and puff?

- What's that?

- Oh, it's my own special exercise routine.

First you warm up by stretching.

You'll know when you've stretched enough

When you can touch your toes,

Like this.

Ah.

Got it?

Both: got it.

- Then you run on the spot with your knees up high

Until you're huffing and puffing.

Both: got it.

- And last, you do four squat jumps,

Like this.

- That looks hard.

- Now, you'll know you've done it right

When you feel it in your legs.

Whoo!

Okay, bunny scouts.

Start stretching.

[Both groaning]

Great.

Now try touching your toes.

- My toes are too far away.

- Mine too.

- That's the thing about warming up and stretching.

The more you do it, the easier it will get.

I'm just going for a jog around the park.

I'll check back in a bit to see how you're doing.

Have fun.

- Okay, mrs. H. - Thanks.

- Basketball?

- Roger should be here soon, max.

[Giggles]

You don't know your own strength.

I'll get it for you.

I can't reach it.

- Let me try.

I can't either.

- Hmm.

If we can just reach the branch, maybe we can bend it down enough

To get the ball.

Oh, we got it!

Now, you hold on to the branch, and I'll try to get the ball.

Got it.

- Great stretching, ruby.

- Thanks.

Hmm.

I wonder.

Look, I can touch my toes now!

- Me too.

We've done the first huff and puff exercise.

[Laughter]

- Basketball!

- Uh-huh.

Both: hi, roger.

- Hi, ruby.

Hi, louise.

Hey, max, ready to learn how to sh**t some hoops?

- Basketball!

Both: wow.

- Thanks, roger.

Have fun, max.

- Check this out.

Let's start with dribbling.

That's what it's called when you bounce the ball.

See?

Give it a try.

Try bouncing it with one hand.

That's a good start.

Try again.

- Ah, next we have to run on the spot

With our knees up high.

- Right.

- Oh, my.

They'll have their fitness badges in no time.

- Great.

Now that you can dribble on the spot,

Try to run and dribble at the same time.

- Whew!

I'm getting tired.

- But we're not even huffing and puffing yet.

Look out! - Whoa!

- Follow that basketball!

- I've got it!

- Got it.

Catch, roger.

- Thanks.

- [Panting]

You're welcome.

Louise and I have to go back and run on the spot

Until we're...

Both: huffing and puffing!

[Both giggling]

- We've done the second exercise

For our bunny scout fitness badges.

- We just have one more huff and puff exercise to do.

- Nice.

I think you're ready to learn how to sh**t a basket.

First you have to aim.

And then you throw the ball like this.

Want to try a sh*t?

- First you squat down.

Then you jump up.

- That looks hard.

- You did it, louise.

- Try again,

With a little more oomph.

- Uh-oh.

- Duck!

Jump!

- Whoop!

- Again!

- Oh, no!

- Jump!

- Whoa!

Both: yay!

- Wow! - Whoa!

Nice moves!

You got a basket.

- Ah, that was great, max!

But can you please try to keep your basketball on the court?

Louise and I have to finish our squat jumps before--

- Congratulations, bunny scouts.

Those were perfect squat jumps.

You've completed the huffington huff and puff

And earned your bunny scout badges for fitness.

Both: yay!

Ow.

- You know, we don't need the huffington huff and puff

To get our exercise.

All we need is max and his--

- Basketball.
