Act I
Scene I
(Nighfall somewhere in the city of Cape Suzette. Pan down to a entrance under a canopy of a resturant. Rebecca walks out wearing a formal purple dress as Baloo comes out wearing a brown coat, brown hat and blue striped tie. Rebecca is not happy at all. )
Rebecca Cunningham: I have never been so embarrassed in my entire life.
Baloo Von Bruinwald XIII: Oh, sure you have! Remember the last time we went out?
Rebecca: Tonight you turned a perfectly charming dinner into a football game.
Baloo: Yeah, and I think some thanks are in order, Becky.
Rebecca: That's Rebecca! Reb-ecc-a! (Rebecca folds her arms.) Though the look on Mr. McFibble's face when you tackled him into the cavier...(Giggles.) He always did have egg on his face! (Laughs.) Get it, Baloo? Cavier? Egg on his face? (Guffaws.) (Rebecca walks off as Baloo follows her.)
Baloo: Whoa, Beck...uh, Rebecca. You're startin' to have a good time.
Rebecca: Yeah, well, maybe I am. So?
Baloo: Well, you better be careful. Or someone might mistake us for friends.
Rebecca: Maybe we are a little, Baloo.
Baloo: Well, strangers things have happened, Rebecca.
Rebecca: Becky.
Baloo: Becky. (Baloo and Rebecca are walking on the sidewalk with Baloo's hand over Rebecca's right shoulder.) Just think about it. You and me, friends. We'd talk more, trust one another, help each other out, and stick together through thick and...Huh? (Baloo then runs away and Rebecca spins around like a top.)
Rebecca: Baloo? (We cut to a shot of a bunch of people surrounding movie stage lights and grips in the middle of the street.)
Baloo: A movie, Becky! They're shootin' a movie! (Baloo shoves his way through the crowd.) Move it, folks. Comin' through. Medic! (Cut to a platypus director, a duck assistant wearing a blue shirt with a red megaphone on his head and an elephant direction on the tripod camera. The platypus direction takes the megaphone.)
Platypus Director: Quiet on the set. Lights, camera, action! (Lights and camera are ready as we cut to a lamp pole as a board is clapped (Act 1, Scene XVII) as we see the legs of a blond cat wearing a sequin dress with blond hair singing.)
Cat Actress: ♪ La la la la...♪
Baloo: Ahhhh, va-va kaboom! Oh-ho! It's Kitten Kaboodle! (Disney Captions has it as Kitten Caboodle. Baloo pulls on his tie as Kitten continues to sing and dance around the sidewalk as Baloo oogles over her and sighs, annoying the pig lady who is not amused. Then we hear creaking as Kitten looks up in the spotlight.)
Kitten Kaboodle: Oh, no! Another accident! (The spotlights above her as he points to them and the animation simply stops as her mouth doesn't move on the closeup shot. Baloo runs in.)
Baloo: Ah, I'll save you, Miss Kaboodle. (Baloo runs in and grabs Kitten by the seat; allowing him to take the shot in the head when the spotlight free falls and bounces off. The spotlight shatters off-screen as Baloo is seeing stars both figurally and literally. Baloo falls on his butt.)
Kitten: My hero! (Kitten faints as the reporters come in with their cameras. The same ones from From Here To Machinery as they flash their bulbs and take pictures; then run off. Baloo shakes his head. Rebecca then goes through the crowd towards Baloo.)
Rebecca: Baloo?! Are you all right? Speak to me, say something. (Baloo gently puts Kitten down on the ground.)
Baloo: Hmmm...Cowabunga! Did you get the license number of that piano?
Scene II
(Outside on the docks of Higher For Hire as a plane flies above the building and a half dozen seagull are flying around the area. Zoom in towards the door as Kit Cloudkicker arrives with a newspaper in his hands. He opens the door to the office of Higher For Hire and comes in.)
Kit Cloudkicker: Hey, did you see this? (Kit opens the newspaper as it's the Daily World and on the front it has the title of "Pilot Saves Movie Star" with Baloo holding Kitten. Kit looks up and notices that there are stacks upon stacks of newspapers in the office.) Oh, I guess you already have. (Some of the stacks fly off the desk to reveal Rebecca behind the desk. Out from the closet comes WildCat with a small stack of newspapers of his own.)
WildCat Puma: Wow! I didn't even have to pay for these. I just found them lying on a bunch of doorsteps. (Kit and Rebecca look at each other and Rebecca just shrugs.)
Baloo: (Walking in.) He-hey, Becky; do you think I could get these bronzed?
Rebecca: I'm going to get your head bronzed, Baloo; if you don't get to work. (Rebecca pushes some stacks of newspapers into Baloo's hands.)
Baloo: Ah-ha; you're just jealous 'cause you didn't get your picture in the paper.
Rebecca: I am not!
Baloo: You are too! (Kit is sitting on a stack of newspapers by a telephone covered in a page of newspaper.)
Rebecca: Am not!
Baloo: Are too! (The telephone rings and Kit uncovers the newspaper and answers the phone.)
Kit: Higher For Hire...What?...Sure! We'll take the deal. (Kit puts the phone down and jumps down from the pile of newspapers.) Baloo, Tantamount Studios wants you to fly a big, important stunt in Miss Kaboodle's film!
Baloo: Wha...? Wha-ha-hooie! (Baloo throws the newspapers into the air and some of the pages land on Rebecca's head.) Starywood! Ah-ho-ho, and I'm gonna be with Kitten.
Kit: And maybe I can get a part in a movie?
WildCat: And I could see a star?
Baloo: Oh, you better believe it. In Starrywood, anything's possible!
Rebecca: Ahem! Since when do you guys accept a job without asking me, you boss; first?
Baloo: Ah, but you're comin' too. Besides, I'm not askin' my boss; I'm askin' my friend. (Baloo hugs Rebecca.)
Rebecca: Oh...well...(Kit comes in.)
Kit: They're paying three big ones!
Rebecca: When does he start? (A car horn honks as Baloo comes out of the office to notice a grey limo with silver trim.)
Baloo: Wow! Talk about service!
Scene III
(Cut to a shot of a sign on a arch structure that reads "Tantamount Studios". Pan down to the entrance as the limo rides into the studio hanger. The toll booth is run by a frog furry wearing security gear. Cut to a duck in a window of a brick building firing a machine gun having a shoot out (it's fake; but the machine guns are firing like legit guns.) as two bears and a black duck in police uniform are firing back. They stop firing to let the limo pass; and then they shoot again. Limo drives around the bend as a heyna furry in a black trenchcoat and hat is twirling his cane on a sidewalk.)
Kit: Wow! isn't that... (Limo drives around another turn as there is some mole furry with a spotlight and a pig furry wearing a full pink dress, hat and carrying an umbrella. Baloo and Kit are looking out the window.)
Baloo: Oh yeah, yeah. It is! Ah-ha! It is! Oh, hey look! (Baloo pats Kit on the shoulder and Kit turns around towards what Baloo is seeing as we hear a whistle. A cat furry with red curly hair a striped shirt and small shorts with ballet shoes runs across the street, forcing the limo to stop. There is a brown shaggy dog who is small wearing a police uniform that is clearly way too small for him holding a stop sign. She is being chased by three foxes: one is wearing formal gear, one is wearing ranger gear, and one of them is wearing a yellow haired wig, hat and a black hat. Baloo and Kit are amused and then Baloo and Kit turn around.) Oh, and over there! (Then we cut to a sidewalk with a pelican wearing a black tie; with a walrus furry wearing a green coat, purple tie with yellow dots on and a bowler black hat.) There's some of my favorite stars. (The pelican walks through the water pouring out from a fire hydrant safely; but the walrus tips his hat and dives into the water and "drowns".)
WildCat: (Gets in between Baloo and Kit.) My favorite star is the North Star. (The limo speeds away as we cut to Kitten wearing a pirate's captain hat, a white belly shirt and a black skirt with a parrot on her right shoulder. She's controlling a wheel on a stage made to look like a pirate ship. Thunderclap effects ensue as an arrdvark furry and another furry wearing green are pouring water on the deck to simulate waves. The limo arrives at the pirate ship stage at hanger twenty-eight and stops next to a plank to enter and exit the ship. Kitten walks towards Baloo as Baloo is charmed.)
Baloo: Oh-ho-ho, does she shiver my timbers! (Baloo opens the door before Kitten can grab it.)
Kitten: Daaarling! (Baloo, Kit and WildCat get out of the limo.) I hoped you'd do the stunt, you big hunk of a bear! (Rebecca tries to get out; but Kitten slams the door in her face.)
Rebecca: Hey! (Kitten walks towards Baloo.)
Baloo: Oh-hubba-hubba-hubba! Oh-ho-ho! Show me where. (Kitten grabs Baloo's arm and pokes his nose.)
Kitten: How silly! That's not 'till tomorrow. Let me give you a...personal tour of the studio first. Hmmm? (Kitten grabs Baloo's arm and Baloo walks with her.)
Baloo: Oh, solid! De-lighted! (Baloo, Kit, Kitten and WildCat walk away stage right. Rebecca is banging and scraping on the door. She strains and looks out the window.)
Rebecca: Guys, wait for me! (Rebecca squeezes through the window; even though the window is big enough for her to go through without a problem and drops onto the pavement, almost on her head in the process and then rolls to her seat. Rebecca gets up and rubs her rear end and tries to walk away; but the front window opens and a monkey chaffeur in grey chaffeur gear with black marks on his face for a mustache in the limo appears to tap her on the shoulder.)
Monkey Chaffeur: Excuse me, miss; you fogot the tip. (He puts out his hand. Rebecca brings out a ten dollar bill.)
Rebecca: Can you break a ten?
Monkey Chaffeur: Frankly my dear; I don't have a dime.
Rebecca: Oh, I don't believe...One of these days...(She gives the bill to the chaffeur.) Why, I oughta...I wouldn't have got very bare.. (Chaffeur tips the hat as Rebecca walks off stage right. Cut to the Starrywood lot as Kitten is driving a golf cart with Baloo, Kit and WildCat sitting in it. Rebecca comes up from an alleyway. Sky shot of a maze like lot as the golf cart is driving around the streets while Rebecca is chasing the golf cart.) Baloo! Here I am, guys. Baloo! (The golf cart heads for studio twenty-six as we head inside to see the elephant cameraman with bandages on groaning in front of a stage for a western. He also is walking with a crutch in his left arm. The golf cart comes inside.)
Kitten: And over here is where we build sets for my faaabulous movie. (The golf cart drives past the cameraman causing him to whirlwind and smack hard on the ground on his back. Rebecca runs into the hanger.)
Rebecca: Here I am! Baloo! (Rebecca goes over to the cameraman as he gets up and she screams.) Oh oh! You scared me in that mummy costume. Are you doing a horror film?
Elephant Cameraman: Costume? Mummy? I'm the cameraman on the Kitten Kaboodle flick. (He wipes his eyes and sobs a bit.) Nobody's safe on that movie. Every ten minutes something goes blooey! (Cameraman goes into overdramatics and lands on his back again.)
Rebecca: Really, you show business types are so dramatic. (Rebecca helps the cameraman up.) I'm sure accidents just happen. (Rebecca walks off as the saloon background falls and squashes the elephant cameraman as Rebecca is safe since she was inside one of the windows when it fell.) Eh...(The reporters from the first scene reappear out of nowhere and flash bulbs go off as the pictures are taken.) Then again...
Scene IV
(Sky shot of a studio with various spotlights and a camera being set up as Baloo is sitting on a stool. A rat furry wearing a brown trenchcoat and black pants is setting up a spotlight; he walks off as Rebecca comes in.)
Rebecca: Baloo!
Baloo: Well, Becky; where you been?
Rebecca: Where haven't I been? I thought friends were supposed to stick together.
Photographer: Make-up! (In runs the pig newspaper boy from Time Waits For No Bear and whacks a pink pillow into Baloo's face as dust goes flying. The furry runs off stage right. Rebecca is coughing.)
Baloo: Kiki wanted me to take some publicity shots.
Rebecca: Kiki? (Baloo and Rebecca swipe the dust away.)
Baloo: You know: Kitten!
Photographer: Ready, Mr. Baloo! (Down comes a background with canoes, ice and igloos.) Smile! (Flashes go off and Baloo is stunned and then he's wiping his eyes afterwards.)
Rebecca: Never mind that, Baloo. Something weird is going on around here.
Kitten: Oh, Baloo! (Kitten walks in and hip checks Rebecca out of the scene stage left; then holds hands with Baloo.) Just in time for a little luncheon. Ciao! (Rebecca is shown bumping into a spotlight and some saloon doors as a limo pulls up from outside.)
Baloo: Oh, you hear that, Becky? We're gonna chow! (Rebecca walks towards the limo.)
Rebecca: Good. That'll give me time to tell you about the accidents that...
Kitten: I'm sorry; but this is a private lunch. (Baloo and Kitten get into the limo as the window goes up and the limo speeds away causing dust forcing Rebecca to cough.)
Kit: Hey, how do I look, Miss Cunningham? (We see Kit dressed up in a black suit with a brown mustache, brown hair and black pants.)
Rebecca: Listen, Kit. I've got to talk to you about...
Kit: Gee, sorry Miss Cunningham; but I'm on my way to an audition. Maybe WildCat can help. (Kit runs off.)
Rebecca: Wait?! Where's WildCat?
Kit: Stargazing.
WildCat: I can't get one star to stay still long enough. (The leopard furry and pig furry are walking around while WildCat is trying to take their picture and failing.)
Scene V
(Shot of a street corner next to an animation studio (with one of the walls not fully painted) as screaming female cat is still running away from the three foxes as we see three furries sitting down on the street and sidewalk either reading the scripts, or eating or drinking. Cut to a booth where Rebecca and two furries (one looks like a brown toad with glasses and the other is a bear) sitting on stools eating and drinking.)
Rebecca: Baloo's some friend! Something fishy's going on and he won't even listen. (Rebecca stirs her coffee in a cup with a wooden stick. Cut to the two furries eating and drink as we get a terrified cry.)
Woman In Blue Robe: Not another accident! (We then get a shot of the turkey client from From Here To Machinery free falling towards the ground. The woman in the blue robe and the man in the orange vest suit simply walk away in opposite directions.) We'd better move. (The turkey client crashes into the wooden boxes and seats, losing his glasses in the process. The reporters from earlier run in; take pictures and run out. The turkey client looks for his glasses as Rebecca comes over to him.)
Rebecca: (Gasps.) That was very dangerous! Maybe you should think twice about being a stuntman.
Turkey Accountant: (Gets his glasses back.) Oh, a stuntman? Oh, lady, I'm just the accountant for the Kitten Kaboodle film. (His glasses shatter before he puts them on.) I'd be crazy to be a stuntman on this movie. I pity the poor bozo who's flyin' the big, important final stunt. (He shakes himself.) Oh-ho, he's sure to be a goner. (The turkey accountant walks off as Rebecca is not happy to hear that.)
Rebecca: Oh, no! That's the stunt Baloo's doing.
Scene VI
(Cut to Rebecca on a sidewalk as the limo is parked on the street behind her.)
Rebecca: I've got to warn him. (We pan over to the resturant called La Rotune Resturant as the pig furry from earlier walks through the golden doors with glass trim. We cut inside to the booth with a hippo furry wearing a black suit, black bowtie, and a tuxedo underneath.)
Hippo Waiter: Oooh, how nice to see you again! (The pig furry throws her fur sash right on the waiter's head.) Pleasant dining. (The hippo takes the sash off his head and throws it on the coat rack. The door opens and in comes Rebecca. Rebecca walks in past the waiter; but the waiter grabs her by the sweater and pulls her back.) Yee-ess?
Rebecca: I've got to tell my friend about an accident that hasn't happened yet, but probably will if I don't get to him first to warn him. (Rebecca tries to walk in but the hippo waiter cuts her off.)
Hippo Waiter: Fine, fine. Are you a movie star?
Rebecca: Movie star? What does that have to do with it? (Rebecca tries to get through but still gets cut off.)
Hippo Waiter: Brutus? We only serve movie stars. (Out comes a giant gorilla in a full white suit and pants with black bowtie. Brutus rolls up his sleeves and his about the grab Rebecca, but Rebecca calls him out.)
Rebecca: Hold your bananas, buster! (Rebecca I think punched Brutus in the nose and Brutus was rubbing said nose. Rebecca storms out stage left.) I can find my own way out. (Rebecca exits the eatry and then comes back and steals the pig furry's sash. Rebecca simply walks past the waiter and he bows.)
Hippo Waiter: How nice to see you again! (Rebecca throws the sash and he grabs it; and nothing comes about it as Rebecca walks around the tables as we see the turkey accountant is eating at the table along with the monkey chaffeur. There is a grey wolf waiter with a white coat and black pants. A second table contains another waiter with a book of matches about to flambe a turkey as the pig furry and one of the foxes who was chasing a cat woman earlier (the one wearing formal gear) are smiling like a bunch of sadists. He strikes the match and the turkey explodes causing soot to fly on the furries. Most of the soot was cleaned out in the Toon Disney version; which leads me to speculate that this might have been a first run syndication version edit. However; the match striking was kept! Cut to a table with Baloo eating pasta with meatballs with a fork as Kitten watches him.)
Kitten: So, darling; about this...Rebecca. (Kitten is wearing a white dress with middle blue trim.)
Baloo: Rebecca? Rebecca who? (Baloo slurps on pasta as Rebecca hides behind a plam tree plant. Hilariously; on the FPS view of Baloo eating; Rebecca's sweater changes from purple to green implying that Kit Cloudkicker is watching Baloo and not Rebecca.) Ah! (There is a loaf of French bread on the table as well.)
Kitten: Ha ha. Darling! You humor is so humorous! Ah. You know. Rebecca, your...girlfriend?
Baloo: (Gulps.) Girlfriend? Oh, no. She's just my boss. (Rebecca comes out from the plant and throws the pasta right on Baloo's head.)
Rebecca: Just your boss?! Why, you...?!
Baloo: Becky?! What are you doin'?! (Rebecca storms in while Kitten is amused by all this.)
Rebecca: Friends are supposed to help each other, remember?! So I'm helping you eat! (Rebecca takes the loaf of French bread and smacks Baloo with it hard. Finally, Brutus comes in to grab Rebecca and brings her to the hippo waiter.)
Hippo Waiter: You again? Get rid of her. (Brutus walks away stage left with Rebecca as the hippo wipes his hands clean of the situation.)
End Of Act I At 10:32
Act II
Scene I
(Shot of outside of La Rotune Resturant as the door opens and out flies Rebecca still holding onto the loaf of French bread. Rebecca lands in the street as she gets up and pumps her loaf of bread in rage. )
Rebecca: I wasn't hungry anyway! (Out comes Baloo with the pasta still on his head.)
Baloo: Becky, what gives? It's my job to embarrass us, not yours. (Baloo helps Rebecca up.)
Rebecca: You said we were friends. Why did you tell Kitten we weren't? (Rebecca drops the loaf of bread and folds her arms.)
Baloo: Now, Becky; we are friends! (Rebecca walks off.) Wait a minute?! You're not jealous of her, are you? (Baloo takes the pasta off his head.)
Rebecca: Jealous? Of an empty-headed bombshell with a body that could stop a moose at fifty paces?! HA! {Rebecca invokes the finger on Baloo then turns around and folds her arms again.}
Baloo: Good. I only said those things 'cause stars are so sensitive, you know. (Baloo and Rebecca walk over to a bench and Rebecca sits down.) You're such a bright, capable woman.
Rebecca: True. Kitten might feel a little inadequate around me. (Baloo sits down beside her.)
Baloo: Right, and if she got upset; she might fire me from the stunt.
Rebecca: The stunt! Baloo, you've got to quit immediately. All kinds of terrible accidents have been happening. (Rebecca then jumps on Baloo's belly and that forces him off the bench.) It's as if someone is sabotaging the film.
Baloo: Accidents? Sabotage? Oh, two of my least favorite words. (Baloo gets up and he and Rebecca start walking some more and then get stopped.) I'd better talk to...
Kitten: Oh, Balooey?! (Kitten comes out of the resturant. Baloo instantly notices this and turns around as Kitten comes towards him. Kitten then hip checks Rebecca away stage right.) Kiki's got a big surprise for her baby bear. (Kitten is rubbing his hair and under his chin. She snaps her fingers and grabs onto Baloo's tie as we see a limo pull up. Cut to Rebecca in the bushes.)
Baloo: Ummm...yum...Well, see you around Becky. (Kitten pulls him to the back seat of the limo.) Thanks! Let's do lunch. (The limo drives off before Rebecca can reach them.)
Rebecca: Baloo! You're acting like a complete idiot, even for you. Well, if he won't do something about this, I will!
Scene II
(Head inside an office as the door opens and in comes Rebecca. I should note that the last line Rebecca delivers overlaps the scene changer making it look like she said half of it during the previous scene and half of it when she goes in the door; so there would be a long pause in between in real time.)
Rebecca: (Walks in.) I'm going to get to the bottom of this accident business. (Rebecca goes to the door to knock on it; but we hear the platypus director in the room.)
Platypus Director: See, I feel terrible about these accidents, Montgomery; but the public loves the intrigue. It guarantees big box-office success. Heh, prehaps I'll win my Oscar at last. (Pan northeast through the keyhole that Rebecca is peaking through showing a shelf of awards. Rebecca gasps.)
Rebecca: He's the one causing the accidents? Haaa... (The door opens ajar and Rebecca faceplants into the director's office. Montgomery is the assistant duck I mentioned earlier.)
Platypus Director: Ah, the actress I sent for. (The director gets her up.)
Rebecca: So, sabotaging your own film. (Rebecca grabs the director by the shirt.) Admit it now and maybe the police will go easy on you.
Platypus Director: No need to audition, young lady; you've already got the part. (Grabs the megaphone and yells at Montgomery.) Montgomery?! Get her into costume immediately!
Rebecca: You won't get away with this! Causing accidents is a crime... (Montgomery lets go of the megaphone.)
Platypus Director: Ahh, actresses are so temperamental. (Glass shatters off screen.) Seesh!
Scene III
(Cut to a shot of a giant King Kong looking machine set on some tressles. Zoom out to show the Platypus Director in his director's chair, the injured elephant cameraman, Montgomery and an anteater furry with an orange hat, and green suit at the controls to the beast so he checks the gorilla's mouth with the levers. Cut to the arm as we pan up to see Rebecca wearing an animal skin singlet in the hand of the gorilla.)
Rebecca: You'll never get away with this!
Platypus Director: (On the megaphone.) Hey, just stick to the script, okay? (Director flicks the megaphone away causing Montgomery to go flying. The anteater furry flips the lever and down the train tracks goes the giant arm containing Rebecca. She screams and struggles as the director is loving it while Montgomery has the megaphone on his head again.) The girl's a natural! (The director even frames the shot for good measure. Cut to a side shot as Kit arrives in a cowboy costume (the same one he would be in for the Halloween commercial for the Disney Afternoon in 1991.). I should also note that the color stylist forgot to paint part of Kit's pants brown; as the groin part is still showing at this point.)
Kit: Boy, how'd she get a part? (Cut to the director snapping his fingers as Kit walks off stage left.)
Platypus Director: Cut! (The anteater furry tries to pull the levers; but they are stuck. He sweats as we cut back to Rebecca screaming as the gorilla's mouth continues to chomp causing the director to be annoyed.) Why do I always have to repeat myself?! (He yells in the megaphone right in Montgomery's face.) I said cut! (The director runs towards the gorilla with Montgomery in tow as the anteater furry struggles with the controls and both levers are broken off.) Cut? Please...?
Rebecca: Help! No! Stop! No! Help! (The director tries to block the arm; but it breaks off and Rebecca is forced to hang onto the mouth of the gorilla. Everything falls onto the director as Rebecca hangs onto the mouth.) Gee, maybe the director wasn't the one causing the accidents. (The director pulls himself out of the carnage as Rebecca climbs down the gorilla. The reporters return to flash lightbulbs at the director and then speed off. Montgomery comes over to get CV out of the carnage.)
Montgomery: Do you want another take, CV? Huh? Do you? Huh? Huh? (Rebecca gets on ground level and notices a hooded person dressed all in black hiding behind a shelf.)
Rebecca: Hey, over there! It's the... (Rebecca runs over; but bumps into Baloo who has a broquet of flowers for Kitten.)
Baloo: Beck! You're crushin' the flowers I got for Kiki.
Rebecca: (Pants.) Baloo, look; whoever that mysterious figure was, it's causing the accidents.
Baloo: Accidents? Oh right, the accidents. (Baloo grabs Rebecca's arm.) Come on, pal; we'd better go find...
Kitten: Balooey! Here I am. (Kitten comes in from behind as Baloo gives her the flowers.) For me? Come, Poopsie! (Grabs Baloo's arm.) Kiki's going to take her baby bear out for a final faaabulous meal before he flies his big, important, stunt. (Kitten glances at Rebecca with a wink as she and Baloo leave the area. Rebecca is not happy as she runs to stop Baloo.)
Rebecca: Baloo, you can't go! You have to listen to me!
Baloo: Hey, simmer down! We can talk later. (Baloo shoves his arm away from Rebecca and walks out with Kitten stage right.)
Rebecca: Later? You might not have a later!
Baloo: Oh, you'll have to excuse her. She skipped lunch.
Rebecca: Fine, Baloo. Don't listen to me. (Rebecca walks in the opposite direction.) But someone's causing these accidents and I'm gonna find out who it is.
Scene IV
(Head out to the airfield as we pan over to various Great War type airplanes as Rebecca is sitting on the left wheel of the blue airplane with red trim and orange wings with machine guns on the front.)
Rebecca: Even if I have to guard your stunt plane all night. I'm doing this for you, Baloo. Wherever you are.
Scene V
(Back inside the La Rotune resturant as we see a monkey in the background eating and the pelican and walrus furries from earlier eating as well. Baloo and Kitten are laughing it up together at a booth table looking at each other with glasses of white wine on the table.)
Kitten: Heh heh. Excuse me for a moment, sugarloaf. I'm gonna go freshen up. (Kitten stands up and walks out of the resturant.)
Baloo: Of course. Take your time. (Cut back to the blue airplane outside the airfield at night as owls are hooting. Rebecca is in the pilot's seat of the airplane, snoring. We get tapping sounds and Rebecca wakes up instantly.)
Rebecca: What?! (Cut to Rebecca looking out and seeing the all black dressed hooded figure pulling out something from the side of the plane and ripping it out with a hammer, which there is a big hole on the side of the plane.) Hey, you! (The figure has brown fur similar to Kit's by the way. The figure notices her right away and runs for it's life, dropping the hammer and the plane parts. Rebecca jumps out of the plane and runs after the figure.) Come back here, you...you Starrywood Saboteur! (They run out of the airfield and go through a door with a red light bulb flashing indicating that a scene shooting is in progress. They run as the figure bowls over model tall buildings and runs across a rope bridge with Rebecca tagging close behind. They chase each other while riding on silts. A mouse dodges the silts and squeaks. Cut to Broadcast Sally and the stork tourist from Time Waits For No Bear, implying that they are actors as well on a stage with a beach background as we pan up to see the figure and Rebecca stab the two with the silts unintentionally. Both of them have startled cries. The figure then climbs down from a pulley rope attached with a sandbag. This brings the anteater furry up into the air as Rebecca grabs onto him and she comes down. Cut to a single grave site stage with a cross like tombstone and behind it is a furry dressed up like a ghost wearing a white hood which is cicular on top to prevent it from being cone shaped and looking like a KKK symbol. Kitten busts through the background confusing the actor as Rebecca follows close behind.)
Ghost Actor: (Spooky laugh.) Oh, wait... (The figure climbs a wooden ladder onto the catwalk as Rebecca follows it and they jump onto another boardwalk rafter. Rebecca almost runs over the edge. )
Rebecca: Oh! Ohhhh! (She shrieks and jumps over to the next rafter and gets caught in the railing. Rebecca chases the figure throughout the studio in the rafter, slamming and opening doors in their wake. As this is happening; somehow the female girl from earlier appears out of nowhere getting chased by the three foxes. So the figure goes through the door on the right path while Rebecca goes through the door on the left path. Both doors lead to the exact same door outside as the figure is under a spotlight and tries to bail into the hard camera. Rebecca tackles her down onto the ground.)
Kitten: Get off of me! Let go!
Rebecca: Akk! I'm gonna get you! (Rebecca pulls the hood off. Kitten gasps in horror and so does Rebecca.) It's you!
End Of Act II At 16:06
Act III
Scene I
(Shot of outside as Rebecca stands up with the hood in her hand. )
Rebecca: It's you! You've been the one causing all the accidents! (Pan down as they clearly show Kitten Kaboodle down on the ground.)
Kitten: Yes. Yes, it was I! (Kitten slowly gets up.)
Rebecca: But why?
Kitten: You...You wouldn't understand. (She cries.) It's...It's so... terrible.
Rebecca: So's your acting. (Kitten turns around angry.)
Kitten: All right; so my last two pictures flopped and my career's on the skids. (Kitten takes the black gloves off and throws them away. She also takes off the robe and throws it in Rebecca's face.) I need the publicity to put me back on top. (Kitten brings a pocket mirror with powder crayon and looks at herself.) It's as simple as that. (She kisses the mirror.) Now, if you'll excuse me...(Kitten is walking away from Rebecca.)
Rebecca: You risked all those people's lives for a movie? (Kitten is standing on the sidewalk corner.)
Kitten: Hey, that's show biz. (Kitten snaps her fingers and a limo arrives.)
Rebecca: Well, I'm not gonna let you risk Baloo's life. (Rebecca get in her face and pokes her chest with the finger.) I'm gonna tell him everything!
Kitten: Go ahead, darling. (Kitten shoves Rebecca away and opens the limo door. She walks into the backseat of the limo.) But I've got that big, dumb galoot wrapped around my little finger. Who do you think he'll believe? Me or you? (The limo speeds away as the door is closed. Rebecca pumps her fist in rage.)
Rebecca: Baloo and I are friends! He'll believe me!
Scene II
(Sunrise ensues as we head back to the airfield as CV, Montgomery and the injured elephant cameraman are set up beside the blue airplane.)
CV: Places, everybody! (Pan west as Baloo comes in wearing a brown bomber jacket, white scarf, and a hat with goggles on it as Rebecca is pulling on his scarf and Baloo is angry.)
Baloo: I dont' believe you!
Kitten: See? Told you so. (Kitten comes in and hip checks Rebecca away; and Rebecca manages to land on her feet about a few feet away from Kitten. Kitten freshens up Baloo's scarf.) Ready for the big stunt, Baloosie-woosie? (She teases him again.)
Baloo: Oh, anything Kiki. (Baloo walks off stage right with Kitten tugging the scarf on him like Baloo's the biggest dog in history.)
Rebecca: But I saw her sabotage the plane myself, Baloo! (Rebecca jumps on Baloo and pulls the scarf.)
Baloo: Sabotage, schmabotage! Jealousy, more like it. (Baloo puts Rebecca down.) Now, simmer down; Becky, and... (Rebecca folds her arms.)
Rebecca: It's Rebecca.
Baloo: Well, fine. But I'm doin' this stunt for Kiki. Got it?
CV: Stunt crew at the ready!
Baloo: That's my cue. (Baloo walks off adjusting his scarf.)
Kitten: Break a neck...uh, leg; baby bear. (Baloo blows kisses back at Kitten for fun.)
Rebecca: But Baloo! (Rebecca jumps and grabs onto Baloo's right ankle.)
Baloo: Hey! Let go of my leg, lady!
Rebecca: Look, Baloo; as a friend...Don't fly this stunt.
Baloo: But we aren't friends anymore, are we; Rebecca? (CV then comes in and yells into Baloo's face with the megaphone.)
CV: What is holding up this stunt?!
Rebecca: (Stands up.) All right. I won't stand in your way.
Baloo: Great. (Rebecca steals CV's megaphone and stuffs it on Baloo's head.)
CV: My megaphone!
Baloo: Hey, who turned out the lights? (Rebecca jumps into the blue plane and starts it up.)
Rebecca: Sorry, Baloo; but I am your friend. (Rebecca shoves CV away as Rebecca takes off into the skies and does a great job of it.)
Baloo: Everybody, where are you?! (Baloo is running around as CV is trying to get his megaphone back.)
CV: My megaphone! Give it back! (CV grabs it and pulls it off Baloo's head and then drops to the ground.)
Baloo: (Notices the plane in the air.) Oh, that crazy dame is stealing my stunt. (CV runs over to the elephant cameraman with the megaphone.)
CV: Action. Action! Special effects! (Cut to the sky as it still looks like night with Rebecca flying the plane.)
Rebecca: I'm a friend and I'll prove it even if it kills me. (Explosion smoke and sound effect pepper the night sky around Rebecca.) Why do I always have to be so literal?
Baloo: That's my limelight she's seein'. (Kit and WildCat run in as WildCat has a butterfly containing the airplane parts Kitten broke out of the side of the airplane.)
Kit: Baloo, look what WildCat found. It fall off the stunt plane! (WildCat shows the airplane part to Baloo.)
WildCat: Yeah, uh-huh. Without this thingy, there's no way you could do your stunt. You'd crash! Good thing you aren't up there now. (Baloo and Kit look up and they are shocked and appalled.)
Baloo: Rebecca! (Rebecca flies the airplane up into the sky and then it suddenly nosedives like a dead fly. Baloo runs to a green plane with red and white trim; which looks like a corrupted Japanese flag on the wings and the side. Baloo gets in the plane.) Don't worry, Becky. I'll get you out of this in a jiffy. (Baloo starts the engines as Kit and WildCat pull the triangle blocks from underneath the wheels. The plane takes off. Montgomery checks the script.)
Montgomery: Doesn't say that in the script.
CV: Who cares?! Keep rolling, keep rolling! (CV swipes the papers out of Montgomery's hand as he dances around. Cut back to the blue plane nose diving with Rebecca.)
Rebecca: Oh, dear. (The green plane flies high in the sky as it approaches the blue plane.)
Baloo: Hang on!
Rebecca: To what? (Baloo turns the green plane around and goes into the nosedive beside the blue plane. Baloo extends an arm.)
Baloo: Grab my hand!
Rebecca: No! (Rebecca teases giving her the hand; and then pulls back on it.) I refuse to budge until we talk. (Rebecca folds her arms.)
Baloo: Talk?! Are you kiddin'?! What, couldn't we talk later?! Say...after we're on the ground?! In one piece?!
Rebecca: No. What's the good of me going to all this trouble if we don't have a good heart-to-heart right here and now?!
Baloo: All right, all right! We'll talk! What do you wanna talk about?!
Rebecca: You said we were friends, Baloo; but then you never treated me like one!
CV: (Bonks Montgomery on the head with the megaphone.) I love it! Keep rolling, keep rolling! (Cut over to Kitten in the director's chair reading a script and yawning. Cut back to the planes.)
Rebecca: Friends talk! They trust each other and they stick together! You said so yourself!
Kit: (Holding onto his hat.) Oh, Baloo'd better work fast; or he and Miss Cunningham are gonna get glued to the pavement. (WildCat closes his eyes as we cut back to the planes.)
Baloo: You're right. I haven't been much of a friend. Too many stars in my eyes, I guess. (Baloo extends his hand again.) Is it too late to try again, Rebecca?
Rebecca: (Extends her arm.) It's Becky. (They hold hands as at least one of the planes crash behind a hanger and explodes. Kit runs towards the hanger.)
Kit: Oh, Baloo! Miss Cunningham! (Out from the hanger comes the green plane containing Rebecca and Baloo together in an embrace. The plane flies past Kit and WildCat as wind whips their hair.)
WildCat: They did it!
Kit: All right, they made it! (WildCat twirls his visor. Cut back to CV on top of Montgomery's shoulders.)
CV: Ha! Cut! Print. (The elephant cameraman looks at him.) Oscar, here I come! (The side door of the camera opens and out comes the film onto the ground.) Oh, no! (CV pounds on Montgomery's head.)
Kitten: (Throwing a fit and stamping her feet.) No, no, no! That idiot was supposed to crash! He's completely ruined my accident! (The reporters all come in and take pictures of her and she completely recoils on cue. On one shot; she is in shadow against a red background.) Did I say, "accident"? Petite moi? (Baloo helps Rebecca out of the green plane.)
Baloo: Friends for life?
Rebecca: Friends. Even if you are easily fooled by a pretty face. (Cut to Kitten handcuffed and being hauled off to the jail truck by the black duck and walrus from the gun fight earlier. So yes; two of the three officers in the gunfight scene are in fact real police officers moonlighting as actors.)
Baloo: Ah-heh, and a great set of legs, too.
Kitten: But I was robbed! What about my release?! And what about...?! (I couldn't make out the rest of it because Baloo was talking over Kitten.) Don't touch me there! (Rebecca is frowning at Baloo.)
Baloo: Hey! Just kiddin', boss lady. Just kiddin'. Ha, I'll never be star struck again. (In comes Kit and WildCat as police sirens are heard in the background. Rebecca hugs WildCat. Baloo hugs Kit. Baloo and WildCat hug. Kit hugs Rebecca. WildCat hugs Kit. Baloo hugs Rebecca.)
Kit: Wow, you guys sure cut it close. I thought it was gonna be spatula time!
Baloo: Nah, Kit! Me and my friend here, we had everything under control.
Kit: Great! Well, I got to be going, then. (Kit runs off stage left. In one of the shots; the plane turns completely blue like the plane that crashed minutes ago. It returns to it's original colors in the next shots.)
Rebecca: But Kit, we were just leaving for home and...
Kit: (stops) Home?! But I got an audition for the new Bumphrey Hogart film.
Rebecca: Bumphrey Hogart? Why, he's only the dreamiest star in the whole world. Wait, Kit; wait! (Rebecca runs off stage left following Kit.)
WildCat: A star? (WildCat takes out his butterfly net and runs behind Rebecca leaving Baloo to just hang there.)
Baloo: Hmm, now what's gotten into them?
