03x25 - Take the Bunny and Run/Other People's Bunny

[bunniefuu]

[upbeat music playing]

Boy, Dinah,
this history homework is impossible.

It's not enough we know what happened.

We're expected to know when it happened.

Okay, Dinah, watch closely.
This is the game I make it to level three.

[computer game beeping]

[phone ringing]

-Hello? Hi, Kim.
-[girl] It's Kim.

-What are you doing?
-My homework.

I'm taking a break.

Darn, I was so busy talking to you,
I got gobbled up by the alligator.

-Homework takes too long.
-I know.

Ms. Vivens told me she didn't think
I was concentrating enough on my homework.

-What do you mean?
-Well, I don't see

how I could pay more attention
to my homework.

I'm even memorizing dates
while I'm talking to you.

-I should get back to my homework.
-I'll see you later.

Dinah, this homework is really
wearing me out.

I think I'll take a little break.

Come on, Duchy. Take your turn.
We don't have all day.

-Rabbit, some lemonade.
-Ooh!

Oh! Don't tell me
you still haven't taken your turn.

Easy, Twinkle Toes, I'm trying
to remember where I saw that other seven.

I don't know why you're in such a hurry
to lose your fifth straight game.

You're slower than molasses in January.

And if you'd just been playing
a little faster,

I could've lost twice
as many games by now.

Wait, let me rephrase that.

Twinkle Toes, the whole point
of concentration is to concentrate,

to think about the game,
to glue your mind to it,

to empty your head of all thoughts.

It shouldn't be too difficult
in your case.

Are you kidding?

My head is emptier than yours any day.

-Uh, Rabbit, my pillows need fluffing.
-Ooh!

All right, then. I'd say
there's another seven right under here.

[exclaims] You see,
all it takes is a little concentration.

Oh, don't rub it in.

Rabbit, more snacks.

And if you want
to concentrate on something,

start with your nails.

That bandage is tacky, tacky, tacky.

You'll notice my nails are never broken.

That's because you never lift
a finger to do anything.

-Rabbit does everything for you.
-Rabbit does not.

Rabbit, I have an itchy elbow.

Please, scratch.

Oh, never mind! I'll do it myself.

And kindly tell Duchy here

all the other things I do for myself
around the palace.

Mm-hm.

Did you want an answer right away
or could I get back to you?

You see, Twinkle Toes, I rest my case.

-You'd be lost without the rabbit.
-Oh, you...

That's the most c*ck thing
I've ever heard.

I can get along just fine
without the rabbit.

Really? Let's make the game
a little more interesting.

I say there's another three under here.

If I'm right, I win.
And you let me have Rabbit for 24 hours.

And if you're wrong?

We wipe the slate clean
by dropping your five humiliating losses

and I agree not to report you
to the Wonderland Book of World Records

as the worst Concentration player
of all time.

Deal.

I know there isn't a three under there.

-Looks like I just got myself a rabbit.
-Oh!

[Rabbit thuds]

[lighthearted music playing]

Your Majesty, how's everything?

Oh, hello, Alice.

Everything's just ducky.

Your Majesty, what's that?

It's my lunch. I made it myself.

I happen to like burnt hamburgers,
soggy fries,

and brownies as hard as hockey pucks.

Oh, who am I fooling?

I lost Rabbit in a bet and now I have
to do everything for myself.

Wouldn't be looking for a job, would you?

I might be interested in one,
but I should warn you,

I don't work cheaply.

I take three cream breaks a day,
and I need every second Tuesday off.

-Why is that?
-For rest and relaxation.

I'm one feline who refuses
to get trapped in the cat race.

You haven't started yet
and you're asking for days off?

Yes, but I'm worth it.

I work so quietly,
you hardly know I'm here.

Just what I need,
another employee who disappears.

What happened to the rabbit?

Oh, the duchess won him
for the next 20 hours and 10 minutes.

-[grunts]
-Well, I'll bet he'll be glad to get home.

Of course he will. Plus, he works
for that sl*ve driver, the duchess.

[tranquil music playing]

Your Grace.

Oh, Your Grace!

More fruit punch, please.

Here you go, Rabbit.

Thank you.

Mm-hm.

Oh, while you're there,
could you fluff my pillow, please?

When pigs fly, I will.

Your Majesty, what are you doing here?

Yes, what are you doing here?

You don't get Rabbit back
for another minute and a half.

-Until then he works for me.
-You call this work?

Don't get your royal bloomers in a bunch.

I like my employees to feel appreciated.

Unlike some meanie monarchs I know.

Nobody can say I'm not good to Rabbit.

Every year, I give him an afternoon off.
Whether he needs it or not.

[alarm ringing]

Ah. The 24 hours are up.

-Rabbit works for me now.
-And not a minute too soon, I imagine.

Come on, you raced over here so fast,
your heels are smoking.

You couldn't last
another minute without Rabbit.

[both laugh mockingly]

Would someone let me in on the joke?

And you, fruit punch, fluffed pillows,
being waited on hand and paw.

Looks like you have it good here.

I'll bet you'd like
to stay a little longer.

[gasps] Oh, could I, Your Majesty?

-I mean--
-Of course you can.

I'm capable of taking care of myself.

Stay another week,
another day, another month.

As far as I'm concerned,
you can have him, Duchy.

Really? Do you mean that?

Of course I do.

Don't you think I'm able
to get along without the rabbit?

Well, in that case, I'll take him.

Don't worry about him.
I know how to treat a rabbit right.

Harrumph.

Just what exactly do you think
you're doing, cottontail?

I have another 20 minutes tan time.
Lovely fluff.

On your feet, Rabbit!

The party's over.

You got chores to do.

You've got cleaning and scrubbing
and scraping and cooking.

You've got mopping and raking
and dusting and plowing...

Hatter, I can't remember the last time
we had French dip sandwiches. Ooh!

[sniffs] Mmm.
This is a good-smelling dip, isn't it?

Yeah. Remember,
these are French dip sandwiches.

Oh, right.

[sniffing] Mmm.

The dip smells good, n'est pas?

Which is French for "Isn't it?"

Excellent. Now you may go ahead and dip.

Ah, yes, the dip smells very good,

or should I say the dip smells tres bon?

Look, there's a gate
in my way. Oh, Rabbit!

Sorry, I should have been here
much quicker to open the gate.

Thank you, Rabbit.

Someone seems to have forgotten
to pull out my chair. Rabbit.

Sorry, I should've been here much quicker

-to pull out your chair
-Thank you.

-Tea, Your Grace?
-No, thank you.

Rabbit and I just stopped by
to say good day.

Or bonjour.
Which of course is French for "Good day."

Sorry, Your Grace, French dip sandwiches.

-The French dip, French.
-French bonjour-- Dip French.

Yes, well,
Rabbit and I really have to be going.

I have so many chores for Rabbit to do.

The rabbit works for you now?

Oh, yes, haven't you heard?
He just loves it.

Don't you, Rabbit?

Now I would say
that's one happy, hippity hopper.

He looks like he can't make up his mind.

What, you're not complaining now,
are you, Rabbit?

Well, we really must be getting along now.

-It was so nice seeing you again.
-Yeah.

[Duchess] Oh, Rabbit.

Oh!

-Goodbye.
-But what's that?

-I don't know, let's see.
-Yeah.

"Help me, I'm being held
against my will in a strange palace

and forced like a common prisoner
to work for a nasty sl*ve driver."

-Hare, do you know what this means?
-I sure do.

Rabbit must be happy
working for the duchess.

When he worked for the queen,
he never had the free time

-to start writing a nifty story like this.
-How true that is.

Yeah. Author, author.

So you see, Caterpillar,

I told the duchess she could keep
the rabbit if she wanted to.

Now I want him back.

I thought you said
he was content working for the duchess.

He is. He's as happy as a clam.

Well, I'm afraid you've made your bed
and now you're going to have to lie in it.

That's the problem, my bed isn't made.
Rabbit's not there to make it.

I think you'd better listen to this story.

"Once there was
a very large elephant named Betty."

Uh, I said a very large elephant.

"Being such a large elephant,
Betty was always hungry.

She was especially hungry
for her favorite food, peanuts.

It seemed she could never
get enough peanuts,

so Betty took the last of her money
and bought a tiny peanut bush.

She planted it in the ground

and waited patiently
for a huge crop of peanuts.

She dreamed of all the yummy dishes
she would make with her peanuts.

Peanut butter.

Peanut brittle.

Peanut soup.

Then a very strange thing happened
to Betty's peanut bush.

It grew taller and taller like a tree.

Then yellow fruit started sprouting.

Betty realized she'd been sold
a lemon of a peanut tree.

And Betty hated lemons.

Suddenly, she got a brilliant idea.

She decided to open a lemonade stand.

It was a huge success.

With all the juicy profits,

she could afford to buy
all the peanuts she could hold.

So Betty learned that it is possible
to turn lemons into peanuts."

So you see, Your Majesty,

you should try to make
the best of a bad situation.

For example, with the rabbit gone,

maybe you can learn
to do a few things for yourself.

You're right!

The first thing I'm going to learn to do
is find somebody else

to do everything for me.

[sighs]

Ow! Oh, now look what I've done.
I've broken a nail.

Oh!

Oh, oh, oh! Stop that. Stop that.
What are you two chuckleheads doing?

We're here to confirm a news tip.

Phoned into the Wonderland Bee
by an anonymous duchess.

What news tip?

That you lost the rabbit in a bet.

There have been reported sightings
of you lifting a finger

to do something for yourself.

Well, yes, that's true but-- Oh!

Oh, stop that. Stop that.

Oh, stop that!

Your Majesty, we need
the photographs to go with the story.

-You can't print those.
-We have to, it's news.

[rooster crowing]

[snoring]

[phone ringing]

What?

What is this?

[clears throat] Hello?

Your Majesty, it's Rabbit. Did I wake you?

Of course you woke me.
It's 4:00 in the morning.

Sorry, sorry. It's just the only time
I could sneak away

from the du-- The duchess.

She thinks
I'm polishing her bowling trophies.

-She has you working this late?
-Yes, Your Majesty, it's awful.

-I used to think you were an old meanie.
-What?!

Uh...

Nothing, Your Majesty.

We must have a bad connection.

I thought you said you were happy
working for the duchess.

No!

Shh.

Your Majes--

Your Majesty,
you've got to get me out of here.

I said she could have you.
I can't go back on my word.

-Your Majesty, you've got to get--
-[Duchess] Oh, Rabbit?

Oops, I've got to go.

-[footsteps approaching]
-She's coming.

Rabbit? Rabbit?

Oh, oh!

Imagine that woman
making Rabbit work until 4.

Why, I never kept him up past 2:30.

Oh!

Oh, harrumph, 4:00 in the morning.

Twinkle Toes, we haven't got all day.

Take your turn.

Oh, look, I'm nearly out of fruit punch.

Oh, Rabbit.

Oh, look, there's no maraschino cherry.

Hmm.

Ah. Twinkle Toes, don't tell me
you still haven't taken your turn.

Hey, we're playing Concentration
so I'm concentrating.

And I say,
there's a matching five under here.

-Ha-ha!
-Congratulations, Your Majesty.

That's a third game in a row
you've won today.

And we said best three out of five,
remember?

Did we agree on that?

That was the challenge. I heard it.

How nice for you.

Don't you have someplace to go?

Let's not stop at three.

Let's say the winner has to win,
oh, say, five out of nine games.

Deal.

[lighthearted music playing]

Wow, you're unbeatable today,
Your Majesty.

I'll bet you've broken a record.

I don't know about that,

but she certainly has broken a nail
and it looks so tacky.

Ah! Okay, maybe the broken nail is
on the other finger,

but that's because now you have
the rabbit doing everything for you.

Let's not stretch the truth.
I still do plenty for myself.

Look, my nose itches.

Oh, Rabbit?

See?

The reason you're getting creamed today

is because you're so busy
giving Rabbit orders,

you can't concentrate on the game.

Oh, poppycock.
Let's just make it a best out of 11.

Fine. But you'll have to put the bunny
where your mouth is.

If I win the first six,
you'll have to give me back the rabbit.

Give you back the rabbit?

What do I get if I win?

If you win,
I'll make the supreme sacrifice.

I'll come over and work for you,
once a week.

You? Work for me?

This I've got to see.

Oh, it's a deal.

[Red Queen] This is it, Duchy.

If the next card I pick is a seven,

I get my Rabbit back.

I really hate to admit it.

I think Ms. Vivens is right.

I'm not concentrating enough
on my homework.

Sure, I may be up here
with my schoolbooks open.

I'm doing so many other things
at the same time.

It's a wonder I even know
what subject I'm studying.

And you know what?

It's not just my homework that suffers.

I bet if I start concentrating
on one thing at a time,

I'll even get to level three
on this computer game.
