Post by bunniefuu »

so don't you worry it's still the same dress Haven you know and love but now

with a new blue curtain this is Marley Mead signing off for

Access three keeping crispr crisp and cut

what am I doing a new blue curtain keeping crisper crisp that sounded great

can I write a tagline or what oh Louis this isn't news it's fluff Christopher

County needs to know no they don't they don't need to know what difference does it make that dress Haven has a new blue

curtain well there might be somebody out there who loves blue curtains and that

person's really happy now it's cable access it's what we do well I

don't know if I want to do it anymore see that [Music]

I want to make a difference I want to help people little Susie learns how to use the big

potty man finds missing chickens a reunion story oh good those are later

this afternoon you know that's why I studied theater I wish I could be doing

that instead theater has the power to help people to give them a vision of

something bigger something more important well then this next story

might be right up your alley oh I love this old building

you see Lewis if this place we're still up and running I could be putting on musicals instead of reporting on chicken

reunions too bad I'm tearing it down next story good day prescotty huddlecoat

and the owner of this old theater you're going to knock it down ah yes it'll be a

shame to see her go don't think it's without reservation you know theater blood runs very deep in my family

perhaps you've heard of my brother Winston huddlecoat Talent judge of the hugely popular America's Got British

judges television show I think I of course you have ah but the

theater yes she's old and quite unsafe I plan to tear down and build a playground the children at the homeless shelter

could use some place to play moving crisper crisp but you can't

Lewis pause tape but pause tape housing

tape but the theater I mean think of all the good it could do

whereas a playground for homeless children oh please Mr huddlecoat please

don't tear it down Miss Mead Marley Mead Miss Mead there has not been a

production here in over 15 years and the building is in need of extensive repair

What would suggest I do [Music]

I can't believe you quit your job thanks for helping me move Lewis I can't

believe I quit my job because you quit your job oh don't worry it'll be worth it you'll see we are gonna help people

through the power of a musical theater good thing I still live with my mother

Louis you are a great writer keeping crisper crisp not just anyone can come

up the riding coming well I gave up on the turn of the century farming musical okra Houma yeah that one since it's

springtime I've been working on an Easter themed musical oh I

I'll called up with bunnies catchy but Easter is only a week away

you better get hopping ooh clever I fixed their lives in the bathroom Miss

Mead thank you Howard you're the best don't mind the green wires hanging from

the ceiling I don't think those do anything okay

big ears sure big ears awesome remember we don't have much time we're ready for

auditions it's a great turnout the whole town is a buzz thank you for helping us

for your audition tell us exactly why you should be in the musical but tell us

through song hi Jimmy and I'm Jerry we're auditions we really love attention

and we need something to do before the senior spectacle comes to it we really

hope it's helped us make at least [Music]

if you have got a screwdriver then I have got me

I love it giant singing robots one million times a yes I don't get the

whole robot thing and it was kind of poochy that's pity poochie is a dog

the church on Easter morning and that she couldn't sing in our show Saturday night because she's rehearsing for the

service I know I know that's what I said but the fact is if Cassie isn't here on

Saturday night the seats will be empty how are we going to help people through the power of a musical theater if there

are no people here to help

excuse me we've got to figure out a way to get

Cassie here on Saturday night are you guys with me [Music]

Philippe come out and teach us the latest dance craze hello boys and girls I am Jean Claude and I am Philippe get

ready to learn the latest dance craze sweeping the nation so Jean-Claude where

the half Arena and how do I do the happy Arena what am I missing out on will people like me if I fail to grasp it

should I use it Bonbon and go back to bed that's totally normal calm down and we will show you you don't need much

left we do the upper right now back to the left and do it once again

[Music] hold it stop the music what are you

doing up to the left hop to the right hop to the left hop to the right again this isn't a dance it's Hopscotch that's

happening a dance has to be more involved you need more steps more room for interpretation

we have bunny ears you think it's so easy let's see you do it all right then

[Music] no no no no you need the ears and feet

[Music] Ultra Ball is a serious asparagus I

believe you'll probably agree with us [Music]

let's make sure we're all on the same page Louis you distract the pastor paint

peeling on the entrance looks terrible gotta fix it and Prescott you and I

you and I say it nor Cassie out of the church onto

the mass and over to the theater and we do that by making believer

representatives of America's Got British judges okay good

this is so wrong we just need to get her there in time for the finale she sings

people go crazy we bring her back and she sings here on Sunday it's the perfect plan yes oh well perfect

wouldn't be my first word choice Lewis you did finish writing the finale uh-huh

and Howard finished supersizing Gary oh it's gonna be spectacular all right then let's go get us a star

[Music]

[Music]

I think about it

[Music] excuse me we're looking for Cassie

cassava yes I'm here that's me good day miss cassava we're with the legal

department of America's Got British judges I'm British yes yes he is we're we're terribly sorry

Miss cassava but it seems there's been a misunderstanding with the terms of your contract as the winner of the contest ah

let's see blah blah blah within six months of the final telecast winner shall be obligated to perform at a venue

in time of companies choosing blah blah failure to comply blah will result in

loss of title so you see Miss cassava has anybody seen the guy who are you you

look familiar have we met oh my goodness the youth pastor is

what we don't have a youth pastor or a baptismal we

Asel while we're sure this is a simple oversight on your part we must insist

that you comply with the terms of your agreement so I just have to sing once wherever you

want me to but I that's right but fortunately we've already made arrangements and it won't take much of

your time what if you'll just come with us now now but the sunrise services so

you'll be back in plenty of time who are you again I'm British

[Music]

well looks like we've cleared up your back problem probably won't need another fumigation till Advent

Cassie

thank you it's a full house they are loving it

so I just go out there sing this song and then I can go that's right

bunnies bunnies bunnies perfect

okay it's time for the finale [Applause]

thank you all right

honey bunnies bunnies they're so furry and adorable little

bunnies make me smile they're so fuzzy they're so chubby eating marshmallow yummies they're just hopping hopping

hoping your heart with them for a while [Music]

and sea bunnies sporty bunnies too

khakis on Ice bunnies

[Music]

for a while [Music]

of words

foreign look what I've done

thank goodness no one was injured I just wanted to help people and I've

made a total mess of things all this could have been a disaster could have

been I'd pretty much say this is a disaster [Music] look Marley I've always liked working

with you but I think it's time for me to go back to my old job at channel three if it's not too late

I'm freezing my mom's probably worried about me I'm I'm gonna go home

see you around Marley [Music]

what am I going to do I don't even have a place to stay

[Music] crisper County homeless shelter

oh well I suppose I qualify

I miss happy Easter can I help you I

I need a place to sleep tonight do you suppose you are most certainly welcome

to stay here tonight it's freezing they say it may snow thanks it's already

started we'll be having breakfast before folks head out to the sunrise service but you should be able to get a little

sleep let me know where you can rest

Easter in a homeless shelter it wasn't part of the plan I

I just wanted to help people how were you going to do that

with a big production I've always thought theater had the power to give people a vision of

something bigger something more important that sounds nice

we've never been to the theater Joshua and I maybe it could have helped us

why are you here well life's been kind of rough for us these

last few years we had nowhere else to turn these nice folks here have really helped

us helped you yeah meals a warm place to sleep Joshua can go to school we're so

thankful one day we'll get back on our feet looks like they're helping you too

yeah I guess they are good night good night

happy Easter Pastor Owen Mrs B a happy Easter happy Easter sorry we are so late

it looks like it's really coming down out there it's a big spring snow the bus

barely made it Mrs Clark I think we should get everyone who wants to come to the sunrise service on the bus right

away we're afraid if we wait and have breakfast here we won't make it back before sunrise and you can't have a

sunrise service if you miss the sunrise oh that's so true Mrs Clark I need to go

to the bathroom besides the folks here won't want to miss Cassie cassava singing thank goodness she came back

last night can you believe the nerve of some people practically kidnapping her to sing in some silly show about bunnies

some people do have a lot of nerve you you I'm sorry Pastor Irwin all what I

did was wrong I wanted to help people but I wasn't helping anybody

will you forgive me what it seems putting on an impressive show

isn't dolls that it's cracked up to be sometimes right past air Erwin

huh no I I guess it's not

I forgive you Marley is it maybe the best thing you can do when you

want to help someone is well just help yeah that's right

so is there anything I can do to help can you take me to the bathroom sure

going anywhere anywhere buses stuck in the snow what no

no has anybody seen Marley Lewis Prescott

Howard what are you doing here we were worried about you with all this snow at

no place to stay we wanted to make sure you were all right oh thank you guys

thank you thank you Miss Marley but how did you get here with this

blizzard bunny power Gary's awesome in the snow doesn't even phase him his

turbocharged Hopper is better than four-wheel drive you know we might not have to miss the

sunrise service after all

I don't know if this is a good idea I think it's a great idea there's no time

to waste the sun will be up any minute all right boys can you get us to the

church on time you got it Pastor Erwin Here Comes

thank you hey this is fun can I try not to Pal you

are not qualified this is a highly technical Visa Machinery it doesn't look

so hard what's this dude why not don't you ever watch movies the

red button is always trouble

she's breaking up Reverend much failing now

happy

ah that wasn't so bad road construction

am I the only one without a seat belt hold on even more construction

I can't look thank you

let's bring up Scott Champion almost Sunrise the sky is turning pink

and I'm black and blue look I can film

mirror looks like the snow plow came through

ow en why did we stop

no plow came through all right they cleared the streets and dumped it all here

we can't get through that what do we do wait for the spring thaw

but the sunrise service I think we're going to miss it don't feel bad Gary it was a

good run it's not over yet Howie what what are you talking about failure is

not an option Howie Louis no you can't do that it's on your

feet Soldier

Louis no oh [Music]

hold on everybody [Music]

[Music]

are we there yet [Music]

Cassie will you forgive me for tricking you into singing in my show a of course

I will hey if you don't count the building falling down it was kind of fun and so the son of man came not to be

served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many

so as we remember his death and Resurrection on this Easter Sunday let's

serve others like Jesus served us [Music]

that's my cue hey why won't you do this with me me with you

oh Kathy I don't even know this song oh come on you'll pick it up quick I did it

with your rabbit song [Music]

think about it Jesus

[Music]

[Music]

he's the reason why we serve

D yeah
