![]() ![]() (As they chant, they gather in a ring around the two squabbling sisters. (They start to argue at full voice, and other kids turn to watch. (Buttercup now stands nearby.)īuttercup: What are you apologizing for? She shouldn’t draw her stupid pictures on the blacktop if she doesn’t want ’em played on!īubbles: I have every right that you do to be here!īubbles: And drawing is playing, you ninny! ![]() He hits the asphalt and skids through Bubbles’ drawings to stop in front of her, sending up a cloud of chalk dust as he goes.)īubbles: Huh?…Hey! You erased my drawing! Buttercup leans away again to avoid the rebound Mitch next takes a hit to the chest that turns him into a human projectile. It starts to ricochet all over the playground, hitting people and things and cracking one of the classroom windows. (The ball misses her and catches Mary upside the head. She does not move or flinch until the last possible moment, when she leans to one side.) Now we see the ball as Mitch digs his fingers in to get a better grip pull back as he throws with all his might and follow it to its intended target. Extreme close-up of his sweating, sneering face, panning slowly across it, then of Buttercup’s set-in-stone visage and pan across it as well. (Bubbles glares at her again, after which the camera cuts back to Buttercup and quickly turns around to frame Mitch, ball in hand. If you miss, you gotta play with Bubbles and her chalk. Cut to Buttercup, arms folded and game face firmly established.)īuttercup: Okay, Mitchie, gimme all you got. (Bubbles glares after her, then goes back to her drawing. Mitch: (from o.c.) Yo! What’s the holdup?īuttercup: (to him) I’m coming! (She runs o.c.) Bubblehead is just doing her stupid chalk stuff again. You know,Bubbles, this is a playground, not a drawing ground! (Pull back to frame both of them Buttercup snatches the ball away.)īuttercup: (sighing in disgust) Aw, man, you got chalk all over it. When she does look up from her drawing, she sees it and reaches to pick it up.)īuttercup: (from o.c.) What are you doing with my ball?īubbles: Huh? (Her perspective of her sister.)īuttercup: Give it! We got a game going on! (The ball comes to rest behind her, but she does not immediately notice it. She is hard at work on a new drawing, with a piece of chalk in hand-now we know where all the others came from.) Bubbles comes into view, hunched over a spot, and the camera cuts to a close-up of her. Chalk drawings, including images of the Professor, clouds, stars, and animals, cover the area. (The ball sails up cut to an overhead view of the pavement and pan across as it bounces and rolls along. (The ball flies into view and smacks her in the face. Back to Buttercup.)īuttercup: (disgustedly) Aw, come on, Mitch! The game’s called dodgeball! If you want to play catch instead, just tell me. He does not move until it slams into his face and sends him flying to land on his head. (Pull back she lets fly, and the camera shifts to ride with the ball as it sails across the yard toward Mitch. (The camera now reaches the asphalt section of the playground and passes an extreme close-up of a dodgeball being held aloft-by Buttercup, as we see when the view next gets to her face and stops.)īuttercup: (low, menacing tone) No mercy. Narrator: Where the girls and their classmates get an opportunity to blow off a little steam. Keane keeps an eye on the class from the background.) Among them are Elmer, Harry, Mitch, Joey and his Asian colleague, Blossom, Julie Bean, and Mary. (Pan quickly to the playground, then go into a slower pan across it as he continues. Narrator: Just in time for recess at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten! (Cut to the exterior of Pokey Oaks Kindergarten we hear kids playing.) Narrator: The city of Townsville! (An animal’s cry echoes over the distance.) It’s high noon. (Opening shot: the city skyline during the day.) Buttercup destroys Bubbles' chalk/grounded ![]()
