02x03 - The Easter Story

[bunniefuu]

Okay, Frank, so you
know what you have to do.

I'm not sure about this.

Frank, it'll be great.

The children will love you.

But the bunny suit is huge.

I think I'm gonna
scare the kids.

Trust me, they'll love it.

Won't they, Father Richard?

They sure will, Cole.

But, hey, please call me Ricky.


Well, children, I know that I
told you that the Easter Bunny

was coming to visit us, but he

must have got large.

Because I can't.

Hang on.

What's that noise?

Look, children, up in the air.

It's the Easter Bunny coming
to visit us in a helicopter.


I knew that he would
not let us down.

Hurrah for the Easter bunny.


Here he comes, kids, the world's
favourite bunny rabbit

with his basket full
of chocolate eggs under his...

That's enough!
You're going into the blades!

No!


Oh, no!


♪ I got the feeling.
Got a bit of an inkling.

This is gonna be
one of those days.♪

♪ This is a show all

about me and me and all

the things I do and all the

things I see♪

And also what I see.

♪ I got the feeling,

got a bit of an inkling
as long as we're together,

it'll be okay.♪

Happy Easter!

Happy getting stuck.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh.

Are you okay?

My knuckles bleeding.

I'm gonna get a Band-Aid.

You idiot.

Oh, sorry.
Sorry.

You've just moved in next
door, haven't you?

Yes.

Oh, I'm Frank.

That was Cole.

I'm Suzanne.

What lovely socks
he was wearing.

They're very cute,
those spotty socks.

Yeah, I suppose so.

You see, they remind me
of some socks my husband owned.

But I always used to wear them.

But when we divorced,
he took them of course.

I missed them.

And I think about
him all the time.

It sounds like you still
love him very much.

Love him?

Love him?

I want to destroy him.

Frank, are you going to give me
one of those eggs or not?

Cole, this is Suzanne.

Suzanne, this is Cole.

She was just
admiring your socks.

I think they're lovely.

Well, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Actually, they're
my favourite socks.

Excuse me.
Excuse me.

Sorry.

Can I just get
to that letter box?

Yeah.
Thanks.

See ya.

That's funny.

Did you hear the way he spoke?

Yes, it was funny, wasn't it?

No, I mean funny strange, like
a coincidence, because not many

people have that sort of lisp.

But I speak like that too.

Yes, and so do I.

We all speak like that,
don't we, Frank?

Come on, join in.

It's lots of fun to speak
in a silly, ridiculous voice.

I'm gonna speak in a silly,
ridiculous voice for 6 seconds.

No, 66.

No, 666 seconds.

What?

What's the matter?

Is he something?

You actually speak
like this, don't you?

Yes.

He's really sorry.

He will be sorry.

He will be sorry.

sh*t.

Happy Easter, Cole.

Oh, wow.

Happy Easter, Frank.


Hello, dudes.

High five for Jesus.

Hey, Father.

Hi, Father Richard.

Hey, it's Ricky.

I've told you before,
call me Ricky.

Forget all that father stuff
and all that Richard stuff.

Ricky's the way to go.

Sorry about, you know,
decapitating the Easter bunny,

Father Richard.

Ricky.

Anyway, we're door knocking
to ask people to donate stuff

to the second hand store.

We're putting
on a special rock mass

with the youth of the parish.

So we're raising money for
the sets and costumes and stuff

like that for the rock mass.

The big Easter rock mass.

It'd be absolutely right
if you guys were there.

Oh, we're not actually that
religious, Father Richard.

Ricky.

See, we have to attract
new blood to the church.

The population's falling.

I know what you mean.

I went past a schoolyard
recently and there were

some kids going, here's
the church, here's the steeple.

Opened the doors and nobody
came again this week.


I can still hear that blood
curdling threat in my ears.

He will be sorry.

What do you think
she's going to do?

What are you doing?

I'm Collecting stuff
to take down to the op-shop

for Father Richard.

Ricky.

Hey, what are you
doing with that?

You're not giving that away.

Why?

This is my favourite hat.

Look at its crazy hands.


Time for another lick.

Can I have that?

No.

Please?

Cole, it's my only egg.

I have to ration it.

I'm not going to give it to you

just because you
have no self control.

You selfish b*stard.

Give me that egg.

That's sufficient.

Give me that egg, Frank.

No, Cole, it's mine.

I need more chocolate, Frank.
Give me that egg.

It's my only egg.

Please.

If you don't give me that egg,

I'm warning you, Frank.

No, Cole, please.

Give me that egg.
-Please.

Give me that egg.

Give me that egg, Frank.

You're scaring me.

Give me that egg,
Frank!

Snap out of it.

Cool.

Thanks, Frank.

I needed that.

Now you're gonna
give me that egg.

Oh.

Hey, Colin, have I got
any clean jocks and socks left?

Cole?

The other drawer.




Hello.

Hey, Cole.
-Yeah?

I'm gonna head off
down the op-shop now, okay?

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Bye.


I'm back.


Please stop doing that.

Hey, Cole, Father Richard
took all our stuff.

Where are my spotty socks?

I'm sure I'll put them in the
wash.

You know, when I walked up
to the op-shop before.

I can't understand it.

That's quite simple, really.

You put all your weight
on the front foot.

And then you balance there.

Then you swing
your other foot forward.

And then you transfer
the weight across.

And if you repeat this
in a continuous fashion,

you can sort of
propel yourself forward.

No, not that! My socks.

My spotty socks.

I don't know where they are.

Or maybe you drop them
on the ground somewhere.

No, there's only one answer.

Someone must have
stolen them off the line.

But who would steal?

So she thinks this will make me
sorry, dicey.

Well, two can play at this game.

Cole, what are you doing?

I'm taking her hanky
in retribution.

What's retribution?

You know, like
an eye for an eye.

No, I'm still not cleared.

We're taking the law
into our own hands.

Oh, my God.
Frank, would you stop it?

You'll hyperventilate.

What's hyperventilate mean?

When you breathe
in too much oxygen.

Is that fair for you?

Yeah, it can make you faint.

Can it?

What happened?
-You fainted.

Don't start that again.

Suzanne took my socks.

Now let's see how she feels.




This might be a good costume
for the rock mass,

Father Richard.
-Ricky.

Excuse me.

How much is this?

$1.

He's a postman.

Is he?

Is he your postman?

That is disgusting.

Of all the people
to make fun of someone

with a speech impediment.

You a priest?

No.

I would never like

was making fun of you.

I actually speak like this too.

Really?

Yes.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Yes.

I would never make fun
of someone like that.

Okay.

Sorry about that.

What a coincidence.

Sorry, Father.

I see you at mass.
Bye.

Shivers.


Check it out.

What about this one?
What about this one?

Wind it up.

Yeah.
Yeah.




Hello.

Hi.

I just came over to
apologize for the other day.

I'm extremely sensitive
about my lisp and sometimes

I just explode.

Yes. Right.

Okay.

I'm sorry too.

Great.

Then let's start
again, shall we?

Sure.

Oh, by the way, when
I brought my washing in,

I was missing a hanky.

You didn't accidentally bring
it in with yours, did you?

No, definitely not.

I'm sure I would
have noticed it.

But I'll keep an eye
out for it just in case.

Bye-bye.

To complete this game.


Cole, I don't know why
you keep putting the washing

out when she's just gonna
continue to steal stuff anyway.

Don't you understand?

This is a battle of wills.

Whoever can hold out the longest
will be the winner.


Morning, boys.

I'm off to Easter Mass.

See ya.

That's my shirt.

Really?

Frank, you're doing
that thing again.

Oh, my God.
You're right.

You know
what happened last time?

That's right.
I f*ck-

But I don't understand, Cole.

Why are we going to church?

I didn't think you
even liked mass.

It's not about that.
We're making a point.

Now, come on.

You know, I reckon
that brown dress really

sets off your eyes.

Come on.


Welcome, everyone.

Welcome, everyone.

Welcome, everyone.

It's my great.

It's my great pleasure to be

with you as we partake in this

innovative form of worship.

A rock mass.

Do you believe in Harold, Cole?

Harold.

Who's Harold?

Harold.
That's God's name.

Everybody knows that.

It says it in that prayer.

Our Father who art in heaven,
Harold be thy name.

Some of our creative
young community members

have put together a short play
about the Easter story.

Be warned, it's
a bit avant garde.

Quite arty, really,
but I think it's superb.

So let's make them
feel very welcome

as we begin our rock mass.


This will show her.

St. John's youth group present.

Can I have that?

No.

So the disciples shared the food
of the last supper

in the spirit
of Christian brotherhood.

Give it to me!

Come on, you greedy b*stard.

Those costumes are pathetic.

They're not
traditional biblical robes.

The roman soldiers
came to arrest Jesus.

This has gone too far.

Well, you started it.

Get out of here.

We're not going anywhere.

The soldiers stripped him.

It is avant garde, isn't it?

And they brought
him before Pontius Pilate.

What's going on here?

It's not our fault,
Father Richard.

Ricky!

Ricky!

Why won't anyone call me Ricky?

Stop this senseless stupidity.

Say that again.

Stop this senseless

stupidity.

You're not lisping anymore.

I'm k*lled.

Father Richard.

Ricky.

You stole my spotty socks.

No, I didn't.

I swear.

I got them from the op-shop.

You gave my socks
to the op-shop, didn't you?

And Jesus put his fate
into God's hands.

Help me.
Help me.

Help.


And then they crucified him.

And they brought the body down

and lay it in the tomb.

Frank, are you okay?

And on the third day,
he rose again.

Frank, are you okay?

I just had

the most incredible experience.

I was lying there

and suddenly I felt my body

lift up out of my body.

And I started to float
around the room.

And I could look down
and I could see my body

lying there, and I.

I could see the tops
of everyone's heads.

And then I saw a light.

An amazing white light.

And I felt drawn to it,
towards the light.

And then I heard a voice.

It was the most beautiful
voice I've ever heard.

It was God's voice.

And God said, Frank

Frank, go back.
You just wounded.

You're getting completely
carried away now.

Go back.
