Act I
Scene I
(Sky shot of the docks of Higher For Hire with the SeaDuck docked at the docks. Cut to Rebecca in her office on the phone looking at papers. Rebecca looks at a pipe as she hears Baloo's voice. )
Baloo Von Bruinwald XIII: (Transmitter voice.) ♪ Kick 'em in the shins! Make 'em sweat! Yowza, yowza, Cape Suzette! ♪
Rebecca Cunningham: Baloo? (Baloo is upstairs in his bedroom at the mirror with a cheese colored tiara on his head, a red megaphone and a cheese colored robe with black and red trim with a red C in navy blue trim on the side.)
Baloo: ♪ Are we gonna beat'em?! Yeah, you bet! ♪
Rebecca: Baloo! (Baloo dances around.)
Baloo: ♪ Yowza, yowza...♪
Rebecca: Baloo! (Baloo drops down and crashes into something. Baloo runs out of the bedroom onto the catwalk.)
Baloo: He-hey; what's the big idea, Becky?
Rebecca: Eh, I need to use the phone.
Baloo: And I need to warm up for my school reunion. It's at Louie's next Saturday. I've been waiting all week for my invitation. (Baloo walks down the stairs.)
Rebecca: Maybe there's a dress code and they decided not to invite you. (Baloo looks out the window and notices a kangeroo furry in postman gear hopping towards the office.)
Baloo: Ha! Here it comes now. (The post officer hops to the door and is about to knock on the door; but Baloo opens the door.) Lay it on me. (Baloo reaches out.)
Kangeroo Post Officer: (Gives him a numnber of new telephone books and junk mail.) A new phone book --yellow pages, green pages, polka dot pages -- mail-order catalog...ah, bill, bill, bill.
Baloo: Awk; forget Bill. What about me? You must have lost my invitation.
Kangeroo Post Officer: The post office does not lose mail! (The officer turns around and hops away as letters and mail are bouncing out of his pouch and onto the ground.)
Scene II
(Head to that garden island on the South Seas; Louie's. Head inside at the monkey waiters are setting up decorations, balloons and cleaning up the place. Baloo is looking up at Louie who is swinging near the ceiling fan putting up decorations.)
Baloo: Hey, Louie; where's my reunion invitation?
Louie L'Amour: I don't know, cuz. Let me do a checkeroo.(Louie swings on the ceiling fan and lands on a wooden table with a glass of lemonade and a grey metal box. He opens the box with his feet of course and checks the files with his feet as well.) Ah, let me see now. Baloo, Baloo, huh. Well, you're not under the B's. (Louie checks with his right hand and finds Baloo's file.) Ah, here you are, man; under the letter U.
Baloo: What's that stand for?
Louie: Uninvited. (Louie embraces Baloo.)
Scene III
(Head inside Baloo's bedroom as he puts his tiara and robe inside a chest.)
Rebecca: Uninvited? But why, Baloo?
Baloo: Why don't matter. I ain't wanted, and that's that. (Baloo takes out a red covered book and closes the chest. Baloo goes over to his bed.) I'm sure gonna miss seeing the old gang, though. Crazy Eddie, Stinky Sedgewowsky and... (Baloo was flipping through the pages as Rebecca goes over to Baloo. Baloo then shuts the book and has a guilty smile on his face.) whoops!
Rebecca: Let me see that, Baloo. (Rebecca grabs the book and both of them have a tug of war grunting at the same time. Rebecca pushes off Baloo with her leg and grabs the book away from Baloo. She opens it and looks.) Baloo, why isn't there a picture of you with the other students? (We see a bird named Birde in the yearbook along with Baloo without a picture, a smiling bear and a rabbit on the left page. There is a turtle with glasses on the right page.)
Baloo: Well, uh; you see...a...
Rebecca: You didn't graduate from high school!
Baloo: (Backs away.) It's not a high school reunion. (Sits on the box in front of Kit's bed.)
Rebecca: Junior high?
Baloo: Uh-uh.
Rebecca: You didn't graduate from grade school?
Baloo: Missed it by that much. Hold it! I know a way I can go to the reunion. (Baloo walks off stage left.)
Rebecca: You're not gonna crash the party?
Baloo: Oh, never say "crash" to a pilot, Becky. (Baloo grabs his pilot's hat and walks out of the bedroom.) No, I'm gonna earn my way in. (Baloo runs downstairs.)
Scene IV
(Sky shot of Cape Suzette Elementary School complete with American flag on a pole. There is a baseball field and a ball on a rope attached to a pole in the back. It's a two floor school building.)
Bear Principal: Kit Cloudkicker, I'd like a word with you. (Head inside the hallways as a bear furry with Oscar's hair a blue suit, white shirt and black tie walks up the stairs with Kit holding a yellow book in his right arm.) How would you feel about sharing your locker with our newest student? (They go into the hallway as the lockers are wooden and have holes bored into them.)
Kit Cloudkicker: Umm, gee Mr. Pomeroy; I just got it all to myself and... Huh? (Kit then notices Baloo holding a picnic basket behind his back. Baloo turns around to notice Kit.)
Baloo: Howdy, Li'l Britches! (Baloo kicks the bottom locker and the top locker opens as Baloo puts the picnic basket into the locker. There is a picture of the SeaDuck inside the door.) Or should I say: locker mate?
Kit: Poppa Bear? What are do you doing here?
Baloo: Gonna get my diploma.
Kit: Haha! From grade school?! (The bell rings as kids are running in the halls. An elephant, a pig, a fox, a platypus who looks like Oscar Vandersnoot and another furry behind him.)
Baloo: Eh, Speak up, Kit. Someone in the next county didn't hear you. (Baloo, Kit and Mr. Pomeroy walk off stage left.)
Scene V
(Head into the classroom with Kit, Baloo, Mr. Pomeroy, all the students who ran in the hallways, a yellow bird wearing a green crown and coat, a chicken hawk furry with red hair and glasses and a grey bear in a purple dress, purple pants with pink trim, a pink yarn hat and earrings standing near her desk. Baloo and Pomeroy are standing together.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Class, meet Baloo; an inspiration to us all. (Baloo takes his cap off to greet.)
Baloo: Ah, shucks!
Mr. Pomeroy: He's old, uneducated and accomplished nothing in his life.
Baloo: (Puts the cap back on.) Hey, I represent that. (On the next shot we see that there is a bear with orange hair and a pink dress on that has magically appeared in her seat, and the chicken hawk furry is gone. Also magically appearing is a bear with a blue bowtie and shirt.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Stay in school, or you may end up like him.
Bear Girl: Oh, no way!
Pig Boy: I'm doing my homework from now on! (The students chatter among themselves. The grey bear teacher comes forward.)
Bear Woman Teacher: Welcome back, Baloo. (She pinches Baloo's cheeks.)
Baloo: Mrs. Morrissey?
Mrs. Morrissey: Take a seat next to Kit. (Morrissey drags Baloo by the cheek towards Kit.) He can be your study buddy for the week. (Baloo goes over to his seat and sits down; but the seat is way too small as he tries to squeeze himself into the seat. Baloo grunts.)
Baloo: Oh, I remember these being a little looser. (Morrissey is at the chalkboard writing "5-3=" on the chalkboard.)
Mrs. Morrissey: Baloo? (Baloo stands up and the chair is wedged in between his rear end.)
Baloo: Ehh, yes, ma'am? (The kids all giggle in the background.)
Mrs. Morrissey: Would you like to solve this subtraction problem for us?
Baloo: (Looks around.) I'd love to, but first; I gotta....eh...solve this extraction problem.
Mrs. Morrissey: Uh, Kit; why don't you help him out? (Kit goes over to the wall and pushes on the wall as Kit goes over and pulls on the chair.) Baloo, if John had five candy bars and ate three, what would he have? (Baloo pulls on the bookshelf while Kit is pulling on the chair with the platypus furry behind Kit. The kids giggle again.)
Baloo: A mouth full of cavities?
Mrs. Morrissey: I can see someone needs to hit the books. (Kit and the platypus pull the chair from Baloo's rear end and Baloo goes flying into the shelf of books.)
Baloo: (Groans.) How was that? (The bell rings. Mrs. Morrissey gasps.)
Mrs. Morrissey: Oh, everyone. Heh; proceed to gym class, then return for today's history lesson. (All the kids run out of the classroom as Mrs. Morrissey wipes the chalk off the chalkboard. Kit goes over to Baloo as Baloo sits up with green covered books all around him.)
Kit: Come on, Baloo. I'll show you the way.
Baloo: Okay, but I hope the coach is teaching juggling.
Kit: Why?
Baloo: 'Cause I gotta learn it, to juggle working for Becky and going to school. (Kit opens the door and Baloo and Kit go down the stairs from the hallway.)
Kit: Miss Cunningham's making you work during school hours?
Baloo: Of course not. She'd bust a rudder if she found out. (Baloo and Kit walk down the hallway.)
Kit: Well, you can't do both. (The bell rings.)
Baloo: You're right. It's time for my morning delivery. I'll see you in history class. (Baloo runs out of the school doors as Kit has to hold the doors.)
Kit: First day of school, and he's cutting class.
Scene VI
(Head back to the docks as Baloo is loading crago into the back of the SeaDuck through the tailsection door. Rebecca is in front of the Higher For Hire sign with a clipboard and pencil writing down stuff)
Rebecca: Those rubber baby bottle stoppers go to the Bambino Island baby clinic, (there is a box below Rebecca.) and this last one goes to the Upper Geezerland Lawn Bowling Society. (Baloo grabs the box containing bowling balls I assume since Baloo was swaying when carrying them to the back of the SeaDuck.)
Baloo: A lot of delieveries here, Becky. Could take hours.
Rebecca: So? You have something better to do? You look guilty about something, Baloo.
Baloo: Me? Oh; I'm as innocent as a schoolboy. {Baloo closes the tailsection door as Rebecca's is stunned. Wang Films colored the whites of her eyes flesh colored.}
Scene VII
(Seaduck flies across the screen as we head to Smithereens Hospital (which Wang Films spells correctly by the way) outside.)
Baloo: Ah, oh, what do you mean I can't deliver baby bottles here?! It says "delivery room", doesn't it?! (Seaduck flies across the screen as we head to Upper Geezerland which has a palace which is similar to Prince Neverhas Beenbroke in I Only Have Ice For You. It's also snowing.) Sign here, buddy. I'm running late! Those who miss history class are doomed to repeat it.
Scene VIII
(Head back to outside of Cape Suzette Elementary School as the kids are running around in the back having fun as the SeaDuck. They see the SeaDuck landing and scatter screaming. The SeaDuck lands perfectly next to a bicycle rack. Baloo opens the SeaDuck pilot's door and jumps down. He takes a large chain and wraps it around the wheel and the bicycle rack. I'm guessing the red bicycle is Kit's. Baloo runs to the door of the school and opens it to reveal Mr. Pomeroy.)
Mr. Pomeroy: And where has our "star pupil" been?
Baloo: (Panting.) I felt sick. I went to my doctor.
Mr. Pomeroy: We have a school nurse, Baloo. You're supposed to be setting an example here. Next time, bring a note or you'll get demerits for cutting class. (Baloo walks off and waves at Pomeroy.)
Baloo: Right-o, prince-oh-pal.
Scene IX
(Back in Mrs. Morrissey's classroom as Baloo is sitting down in a chair without handles on it with Kit. The children all are sitting down at their tables. Mrs. Morrissey prepares the projector as the orange haired bear girl flicks the switch off to darken the room.)
Mrs. Morrissey: Today, class; we have a wonderful little film called "Geography and You". (Baloo is reading a cheese colored book with a globe on it as Morrissey turns on the projector. Baloo opens the door and places it on the table. He takes his pilot's cap and balances it on a ruler on the book.)
Kit: What are you doing, Baloo?
Baloo: More deliveries.
Kit: But we're supposed to be studying geography. (Baloo crawls underneath the table towards the window. Baloo has a book with him for some reason.)
Baloo: I'll do it at ten thousand feet. It's called "higher education". (Baloo goes through the window.)
Kit: Oh, Baloo.
Scene X
(Cut to a shot of an ocean liner heading into the harbour. We see various airplanes flying as the SeaDuck flies out of Cape Suzette.)
Baloo: The countries of Bulgaria and Malaria surround a third country now known as Hysteria. (Head into the cockpit as Baloo is reading a map and a book at the same time in the pilot's seat. Baloo throws the map and book away and gets on the flight stick. Baloo pulls up as the SeaDuck dodges past a giant grey airplane.) Oh man, how am I supposed to keep these countries straight and my deliveries, too? (Baloo picks up the map and book. The SeaDuck is shown flying towards a giant map background. We head to Boomstone as the SeaDuck lands just outside the town as Baloo runs over to Clementine from Citizen Khan.) Sign here. Saxophone mouthpieces for your embroidery club. (Scene change to Baloo giving a clipboard to one of the Pgymites (there are two in the scene) near a straw mud house in the background.) Sign here. Knitting needles for the marching band. (The Pgymites eat the clipboard for fun. Scene change to Louie's.) He-here you go. Two dozen one hundred watt lightbulbs. (We hear glass shattering in the background.) Whoa! (There's a scene changer in between this and we head back to Louie's again.) Um, make that one dozen fifty watt lightbulbs. (Scene change to showing the map inside the cockpit of the SeaDuck. Baloo sighs.) Last stop, Upper Geezerland Lawn Bowling Society. (Baloo is checking off locations with a pencil as we see an alarm clock with a blue strip of cloth wrapped around it ringing.) Uh-oh, no time. Geography film's almost over. I gotta get back. (Baloo takes control of the flight stick.)
Scene XI
(Cut to the hallway inside Cape Suzette Elementary School as the front door opens and Baloo comes running in panting.)
Baloo: Oh, no. (Baloo stops and notices Mr. Pomery and Mrs. Morrissey in the hallway in front of the classroom door. Mr. Pomery turns around and notices him as Baloo runs off stage right and out of the school.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Wasn't that Baloo I just saw?!
Mrs. Morrissey: Oh, I'm sure you're mistaken, Mr. Pomeroy. Baloo's at his desk. (Mrs. Morrissey opens the door as Mr. Pomeroy goes inside.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Well, we'll just see about that. (Mr. Pomeroy walks over to the desk with the pilot's cap and takes the book away to show Baloo.)
Baloo: Howdy, prince-oh-pal!
Mr. Pomeroy: Cloudkicker?! Has he been at his desk for the entire class?
Kit: Uhhh, sure. Never left it.
Mr. Pomeroy: Hmm, okay; but I'm keeping an eye on you, Baloo. (Mr. Pomeroy turns around and walks out of the class.)
Baloo: Thanks for covering me.
Kit: Lying for you, you mean. You're gonna get us both in trouble.
Baloo: Nah. I've got everything covered. (We hear alarm clock sounds inside Baloo's shirt.) Whoops! Except for Becky's one o'clock pickup. Keep me covered, study buddy. (Baloo puts the cap over the book and crawls to the window.)
Kit: But Baloo...
Scene XII
(Head for Higher For Hire on a back shot. The SeaDuck is already docked as Rebecca is in her office at her desk on the phone with a pencil.)
Rebecca: You didn't get your bowling balls for the lawn bowling championship? Well, uh, yes. Well, I certainly will have a word with him. (Rebecca writes down some stuff on the bulletin board and then hangs up the phone.) What is happening to Baloo? He's never here, and all his deliveries are wrong. He must have a second job! (Baloo opens the door and walks in without his pilot's cap.)
Baloo: Where are the deliveries, Beckers? Lay'em on me 'cause I'm in a hurry.
Rebecca: I'll bet you are! (Rebecca invokes the finger and forces Baloo back.) The jig's up, Baloo! I know about your outside activity!
Baloo: Ye, you do?
Rebecca: Yes. I want you to quit.
Baloo: But Becky; this is a chance to better myself. I hoped you'd be happy.
Rebecca: No more moonlighting!
Baloo: Moonlighting?
Rebecca: Yes! No more second jobs!
Baloo: Oh, okay. No problem. I promise. Bye. (Baloo turns around and walks out of the office and closes the door.)
Rebecca: Why do I have the feeling he just flew circles around the truth?
Scene XIII
(Head back to Cape Suzette Elementary School as Baloo is climbing a pipe up the school building. Baloo looks in the window to notice Mrs. Morrissey writing on the chalkboard "The quick brown fox jumped over the brown dog." and pointing as the childrens are sitting down.)
Mrs. Morrissey: In a sentence, the verb always follows the noun. (We hear knocking on the window as Kit notices Baloo at the window waving. Kit crawls underneath as he goes over to the window and opens it.) Who can tell me what follows the verb? (Kit pulls Baloo into the classroom as Morrissey turns around.) Kit? Well! What do we have here?
Scene XIV
(Inside a classroom which is empty as Baloo and Kit are sitting at a large table together. Kit is not amused by this.)
Kit: Thanks a lot, Baloo. You got us both in detention.
Baloo: Sorry, Study Britches. (Mr. Pomeroy comes in with a giant wheeled container filled to the mountain peaks with chalkboard brushes.)
Mr. Pomeroy: I have a job for you two. Clapping all these erasers clean. (Pomeroy takes two of them and claps them as chalk dust flies into Baloo and Kit as they cough in response. ) Not a pretty job, is it? Hmm, maybe next time you'll think twice before breaking the rules. (Pomeroy walks out of the classroom.)
Kit: We'll be here all day. (Baloo grabs one of the chalkboard brushes and gets an idea.)
Baloo: Stop clapping and start applauding, Kit. I got an idea.
Scene XV
(Cut to the SeaDuck as Kit and Baloo are tying and taping chalkboard brushes to the propellers of the SeaDuck. Kit wipes his hands clean.)
Kit: That's the last one. (Cut to Baloo inside the SeaDuck.)
Baloo: Ten-four! (Kit gets back as Baloo starts the engines and the propellers begin to spin as the chalk dust goes flying stage left and heads inside Pomeroy's office. Pomeroy is coughing as the dust is completely off the brushes. Kit gives him the thumbs up sign and Baloo turns off the engines to the SeaDuck. The chalk erasers look clean as Baloo drops down and looks at his handiwork as Kit claps two erasers and there is no dust.) Chalk one up for engine-uity. (Out comes Pomeroy covered in eraser dust coughing like mad.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Whose idea was this?! (Pomeroy wheezes and coughs some more.)
Baloo: (Blows some dust of his own.) Hate to brag, but uh... (Pomeroy uses a giant brush to brush the dust off of himself.)
Mr. Pomeroy: May I see you in my office, please? (Pomeroy walks away stage left.)
Baloo: Probably want to give me an early diploma for this piece of brillance. (Baloo walks away stage left.)
Scene XVI
(Head inside Mr. Pomeroy's office (the principal office) as Pomeroy is at his desk brushing himself off with Baloo facing him.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Baloo, it's obvious you don't belong in this school.
Baloo: Yeah, isn't it, though? I'm sort of in a class by myself. Get it? Heh heh Class? (Baloo laughs.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Yes, a class in reform school. You're disruptive, lazy and a nincompoop. (Baloo flies off and destroys another wooden chair.)
Baloo: Uh, when do you get to the part about giving me a diploma?
Mr. Pomeroy: Diploma? You're expelled! (Pomeroy shows the file of Baloo with the black letters "expelled" on it.)
End Of Act I At 10:22
Act II
Scene I
(Back at the principal's office from outside the hallway with Baloo and Pomeroy in shadow.)
Baloo: Please Mr. Pomeroy, give me a second chance.
Mr. Pomeroy: No. You're expelled, and that's final!
Baloo: (Gets on his knees and begs for mercy.) But I have to go to my class reunion. The old gang's gonna be there.
Mr. Pomeroy: It's just a party.
Baloo: It's not. (Pomeroy tries to go back to his desk; but Baloo grabs him by the ankles and Pomeroy falls onto his desk.) They're my friends. I haven't seen some of them in years. Oh, have a heart.
Mr. Pomeroy: I'd rather have the circulation back in my ankles. Hmmm, all right. I'll give you another chance. Be here Saturday, nine sharp. (Baloo nods and kisses Pomeroy's feet. Pomeroy sighs.)
Scene II
(Head outside of the school as Kit and Baloo are walking down the street towards Higher For Hire. Baloo is carrying a load of books with him.)
Baloo: And he'll give me an equivalency test. And if I pass, I get my sheepskin; and I'm off to the reunion.
Kit: That's great, Poppa Bear.
Baloo: Just one question. Umm, what's an equivalency test?
Kit: A test of the whole year's work.
Baloo: (Groans.) Oh, no. I'll never pass. How's this old dog gonna learn that many new tricks?
Kit: Get a tutor.
Baloo: Well, who? I can't ask Rebecca. Wildcat doesn't know the sixth grade from a socket wrench. And that leaves only you.
Kit: Me?
Baloo: I don't call you study buddy for nothing.
Scene III
(Head in the skies as the SeaDuck is flying stage left. Head inside the cockpit with Baloo and Kit sitting in their seats as Baloo is piloting and Kit is reading.)
Kit: Well, let's start with English. Any problems with dangling participles?
Baloo: Hey, no smart talk. {Puts the crowbar on the stick.}
Kit: Well then; can you conjugate verbs? {Baloo goes to the back.}
Baloo: {Invokes the finger on Kit.} That is none of your business.
Kit: Baloo, cut it out. {Kit goes into the back with Baloo having a clipboard.}
Baloo: Aw, what's the use, L'il Britches? (Baloo writing on a clipboard in the back.) I'm just a dumb pilot who only knows from planes.
Kit: Then planes it is. (Kit snaps his fingers and throws the book away.) That's how I'll teach you!
Baloo: I'm not picking you up on my radar, kiddo. (Kit looks out the window.)
Kit: Well, take verbs for instance. They're sort of like airplane propellers. They make a sentence move.
Baloo: Really? (Baloo looks out the window with Kit.) Now you're talking my language.
Kit: Umm, let's try math. (Kit runs into the cockpit with Baloo following him.) What's ten thousand minus four thousand?
Baloo: Beats me. (Kit goes over to the flight stick and takes off the crowbar. Kit pushes the flight stick and puts the SeaDuck into a dive. Baloo slides into the cockpit and bumps the back of the pilot's chair.) Hey, stop! We just dropped six thousand feet! (Kit pulls up on the stick and the SeaDuck bounces off the water and flies back into the water.)
Kit: Heh ha ha. Congradulations. You just subtracted.
Baloo: I did?
Kit: Yeah, but now we're about to be divided! (We see that the SeaDuck is headed straight for a sea ship blowing it's horn.) YAHHHHHHHH! (Baloo takes over the controls and steers left as the SeaDuck dodges the ship; but still manages to scrape the side of the ship with yellow sparks flying. The SeaDuck flies into the air as Kit sighs and breathes a sigh of relief.)
Baloo: Ah, don't ever do math in my plane again! (Baloo then sits in Kit's seat.)
Scene IV
(Head to Baloo's bedroom as there is an alarm clock present along with the hula girl lamp which she is wearing a grass skirt but no top. Baloo drops four books onto the desks near the lamp. Baloo is sitting down on the bed reading a yellow covered book. Baloo takes another book from the desk as the hula girl lamp now has a red bra underneath the nipples. Then nightfall as more books are read and the three books change to green colors instead of multi-colored covered books. Baloo continues to read into the morning and then the alarm clock rings. Baloo runs out of the room as Kit (who was sleeping at his bed the entire night) wakes up and scratches his head. Baloo grabs Kit as they leave. Jump cut to Baloo in the shower naked brushing his back and washing his head in the shower stalls. Kit has a fishing rod as he has an orange book on the hook and casts it so that Baloo can see the book. Jump cut to underneath the docks as Kit and Baloo are reading out of a white book while being in a rowboat. Zoom out to show Rebecca on top of the docks looking for Baloo. Jump cut to Kit ripping pages out of the books and putting them onto the boxes. Baloo takes a box and mouths something, but there's no audio (Intentional since Disney Captions also says the same thing). He walks off and sounds like he's in pain and swearing. Jump cut to inside the back as Kit has a portable chalkboard and has written 1+1= on the chalkboard. Baloo nods in the cockpit of the SeaDuck as Baloo creates the number two out of smoke (A nod to Vowel Play) and flies away. Kit comes back in the cockpit and gives Baloo the thumbs up. We fly back to the docks of Higher For Hire on the sky shot and return to the office. Rebecca is at her desk and she is not amused by Baloo reading of a book about grammar.)
Rebecca: Baloo, I've asked you three times to deliver these thermometers to the...
Baloo: Did you know that "deliver" was a verb?
Rebecca: Uh-huh. I know another verb, "fired"! That's what you'll be if you don't deliver these!
Baloo: Bu-but, I can't. I'm busy, lady.
Rebecca: Busy goofing off. What is this, a hardback comic book?! (Rebecca grabs the book from Baloo. Baloo is embarrassed as he pleads for Rebecca not to read it. She does.) "Basic English for Sixth Graders?" (Baloo throws his hands up in dispair and then walks off sulking.) You went back to school, didn't you?
Baloo: For my diploma.
Rebecca: That's why you've been messing up on the job, lately.
Baloo: I'll be finished tomorrow, I promise. (Baloo is begging now.)
Rebecca: Baloo, I have only one thing to say to you.
Baloo: Here it comes.
Rebecca: I think it's great! Good for you! Study hard! And take tomorrow off! (Rebecca gives Baloo the grammar book.)
Baloo: You're a class act, Beckers. (Baloo walks off with the book as Rebecca looks happy.)
Scene V
(Nightfall as Higher For Hire as we head inside Baloo's bedroom as Baloo is under the covers with a flashlight reading. Kit is sleeping in his bed with his sweater on.)
Baloo: Add the two, then carry the three. (The alarm clock is ticking on the desk. Kit wakes up.)
Kit: Baloo, you've got to get some rest. Tomorrow's a big day. (Baloo takes the covers off as he's wearing blue polka dot shirt and a nightcap as he turns off the flashlight. Baloo yawns as he throws everything off the bed.)
Baloo: No sweat. Ah, I'll be bright-tailed and bushy-eyed. (Baloo closes his eyes and snores as morning arises.)
Rebecca: Up and at 'em, Baloo! (Rebecca is in the room trying to wake Baloo.)
Kit: Come on, get up; Poppa Bear!
Baloo: The capital of Itsy-Bitsia is Teensy-Weensia. (Rebecca runs over to box containing a pitcher of water and runs over to the bed. She tosses the water onto Baloo and Baloo wakes up at once.) Huh?! Who?! What?!
Kit: You're gonna be late for your test.
Baloo: The test! (Baloo checks the alarm clock. The alarm clock rings. Baloo runs on the bed and out of the room.) Mother Matriculation!
Scene VI
(Head to Cape Suzette Elementary School Principal's office as Mr. Pomeroy is at the entrance wearing fishing gear. Baloo's clock must be fast because it's one minute to nine on the clock in the room.)
Mr. Pomeroy: If Baloo's not here in the next minute, he's out of luck. I've got bigger fish to fry. (Mr. Pomeroy casts his line and the hook catches on the back of his weighted fishing pants and he yanks and he does a flip onto the ground. Head back in the streets towards the school as Baloo in shadow is on a bicycle pedaling as Kit is on his back with the fishing line with the three books as bait again.)
Baloo: Mount Neverest is two thousand feet tall. Five plus one equals six. Famous Apache Indian Chief was named...Geronimo! (The bicycle goes through a sewer vent and this sends Kit and Baloo flying into the air. The fishing line sangs a tree causing Kit to be snagged backwards as a result. Cut back to Pomeroy checking his watch outside the building.)
Mr. Pomeroy: That's it. That's it. Baloo blew his chance. (And here comes Baloo like a missile towards the building.)
Baloo: YAAAAAAAAA! (He crashes into the hard camera.)
Scene VII
(Head inside the gym room as Baloo is sweating bullets sitting in a wooden desk in the middle of the room. The door to the gym opens to show Kit and Rebecca watching on. Baloo continues to sweat. From the opposite side of the gym doors open and in comes Mr. Pomeroy walking towards the desk with the exam papers. Of course the desk is too small for Baloo as well. Pomeroy slams the exam book on the desk as Baloo gulps with a lump in his throat. Pomeroy checks his pocket watch.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Ehhh, you've got one hour. (Baloo turns the page and takes out his pencil. He begins the test. Cut to a shot of the clock on the wall as it's 9:25 am. Baloo continues to write while Pomeroy is practicing his casting of the fishing rod. Cut back to the clock as it's 9:40 am as Pomeroy is reeling his fishing line in. Baloo continues to the test as we cut to Kit and Rebecca looking on. Kit looks at the clock as Pomeroy is shown twirling a fish hook and smiling. More looking on as the clock has stopped for some reason as Baloo is still checking answers to the next part of the test. Pomeroy checks his watch and then walks over to Baloo. It's ten o'clock on the wall clock now.)
Baloo: Let's see... (Baloo snaps his fingers.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Time's up, Baloo. (Baloo is about to write; but Pomeroy's hand butts in as the pencil is stabbed on the hand.) OUCH! (Pomeroy is forced to rub his hand and drop the fishing rod as a result . Pomeroy grabs the test before Baloo can continue on.) I'll have this graded on Monday.
Baloo: But, the reunion's tonight. Ah, please, Mr. P; grade it now. (Baloo is running as his belly is now stuck in the desk.) I'm begging, imploring, and committing various other verbs. (Mr. Pomeroy stops.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Ohhhhhhhhh, very well.
Scene VIII
(Cut to a shot of the clock in the gym as it's 10:10 am as we see Mr. Pomeroy on the bleachers grading Baloo's test. Pan over to Baloo pacing around with Kit and Rebecca watching on.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Well, Baloo; you surprised me. (Baloo runs over to him.) You did much better than I expected.
Baloo: Hot diggity! Class reunion, here I come. (Kit is whistling as Baloo takes off his hat cheering.)
Mr. Pomeroy: You only failed by one question. (Baloo goes over and looks bug eyed as there is a giant F on the exam paper.) Better luck next time. (Baloo looks down at the floor as Mr. Pomeroy walks out of the gym. Rebecca holds her mouth in shock as Kit looks disappointed in himself. Baloo walks around sulking as he sits down on the bleachers dropping the papers onto the floor as Baloo looks down at the floor.)
End Of Act II At 17:48
Act III
Scene I
(Return to Higher For Hire as Baloo and Rebecca are sitting on the docks together.)
Rebecca: Ah, you should feel proud, Baloo. You only missed by one answer. (Baloo has the exam book.)
Baloo: One, twenty-one, what's the diff? I blew it. (Baloo then notices something on the exam paper.) Wait a minute?! That answer's not wrong. Becky, what's the best place for fly fishing in Cape Suzette?
Rebecca: Uh, Veronica Lake, I guess. Why? (Baloo gets up and runs to the SeaDuck.)
Scene II
(Sky shot of Veronica Lake as we see Mr. Pomeroy sitting in a rowboat fly fishing.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Ahhhhhh, this is the life! Perfect tranquility and serenity. (Then we hear airplane engine noises as Pomeroy wakes up. The SeaDuck lands on the water as Pomeroy panics.) YAAAAAHHHH! (The SeaDuck goes past the rowboat as Pomeroy gets sprayed with water and flies out of his rowboat. Pomeroy is treading water like a rookie.) Missed me. (Baloo throws a life preserver and it bonks off of Pomeroy's head in the process. He sputters as he notices Baloo from the plane.) Baloo!
Baloo: Sorry, Mr. P; but you and me have a date with a kumquat tree. (Pomeroy has changed from his fishing gear right into his principal's gear literally on the next shot as he's pulled in.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Hey! (He's pulled into the SeaDuck and we fly off into the sky.) You're in big trouble, buster!
Baloo: What can you do, expel me?!
Scene III
(Head into the sky towards the frozen mountain area with the SeaDuck.)
Mr. Pomeroy: The Formosa Mountains?! Are you crazy?! (Head to the cockpit as Pomeroy has his fishing gear back on again.) What are we doing here? (Baloo shows off the exam book.)
Baloo: Proving that I got question forty-three right. (Pomeroy takes the book and his sleeve is blue now; but changes back to red in the next shot as he checks the question.)
Mr. Pomeroy: Well, let's see here. "What grows atop Mount Neverest"? You wrote "kumquats". The correct answer is "nothing". (Baloo takes the exam book from Pomeroy.)
Baloo: But, that's wrong. There's kumquats in them thar hills. I've seen them! (Pomeroy has his arms folded. So we fly around the mountains for a while as the winds begin to whip like crazy and snow blows all around. We then see Mount Neverest.) There she is, Mount Neverest. (Pomeroy's clothing changes back to his principal outfit in the next shot. Then back to his fishing gear on the next shot.)
Mr. Pomeroy: It-it-it's a blizzard! Turn back!
Baloo: No way. I'm gonna show you the juiciest batch of kamquats you've ever seen. (So we fly some more and then up and above as the snow is gone and it's sunny. We fly for a while; but no kamquat trees.) Uh-oh. What happened to all the trees?
Mr. Pomeroy: Hmph, maybe you'll believe what the textbooks say.
Baloo: Oh, but I was positutely certain. Now I'll never see my buddies. Wait! What's that? (Baloo notices a small branch popping from top of snow. Baloo pushes down on the flight stick as Pomeroy panics. The SeaDuck bounces off the snow causing the snow to fly off the branches revealing a kumquat tree.) Blow, snow, blow! (Pomeroy looks out the window.)
Mr. Pomeroy: I...I don't believe it.
Baloo: A prettier kamquat tree I've never seen.
Mr. Pomeroy: Well, Baloo; hmm... how can I make this up to you?
Baloo: With a passing grade, prince-oh-pal. (Baloo gives Pomeroy the exam book; Pomeroy write a check mark on question #43.)
Scene IV
(Head to Louie's with torches lit after dark as the SeaDuck has already docked as Baloo jumps out of the SeaDuck onto the docks. Baloo heads over to the front door. We cut to the sign which says "Welcome Cape Suzette Elementary School Reunion.)
Louie: Ah-ha ha! And have a crazy time at the reunion, you glad grads. (We see Louie addressing the grads as one of the pig furries, a platypus furry who might be the kid's dad from earlier in the episode and Clementine enter Louie's. Baloo is about to walk in; but Louie cuts him off.) Oh, uh; sorry fuzzy. You know the rules.
Baloo: Sure do. (Baloo presents his diploma to Louie.) That's why I came out of my coma and got my diploma.
Louie: (Jumping up and down.) My main magna cum loudmouth! Ha ha! Congradulations, grad. (Baloo and Louie slap skin.)
Crazy Eddie: Gee, it's Baloo.
Stinky Sedgewowsky: Baloo! (Two bear furries show up as the first one has a long neck and wears a country hat, red shirt and purple vest; while the second one is a short bear wearing a blue sweater with blue scarf and taxi hat.)
Baloo: Hey! Crazy Eddie! And... (Waves and brings out a hanky to cover his nose.) whoo, P.U.; Stinky Sedgewowsky. Hey! Think you guys can still do the old cheer?
Baloo/Eddie/Stinky: ♪ Kick 'em in the shins! Make them sweat! Yowza, yowza, Cape Suzette! ♪ (Everyone is cheering, slapping skin and laughing in shadow as they enter Louie's.)
