Father and Son Discuss Easter Responsibilities

Mr. Bunny: E.B.? E.B.!!!

E.B.: [stops drumming] Oh! Hello, Dad! What do you think?

Mr. Bunny: Um, uh, what do I... Uh, well, it's great. Really-really, uh, kicking. But, E.B., shouldn't you be rehearsing your speech? You're about to be crowned the Easter Bunny in front of 3,000 of your peers.

E.B.: Um, yeah. About that.

Mr. Bunny: Yes?

E.B.: [clears his throat] Look, Dad. Ever since I was yea big, it's always been, "The Easter Bunny wouldn't do that." and "The Easter Bunny has to be perfect.". But I'm not perfect.

Mr. Bunny: I know that, son. But you'll get there eventually.

E.B.: [sighs; picks up an Easter egg; he hands him a sock on the floor] Yes. But I'm... Listen, you want me to be this. But maybe I'm not this. Maybe I'm this.

Mr. Bunny: [he grunts in disgust after smelling it] A sock?

E.B.: [gestures to his drum set] That's right. I might be a metaphorical sock. I might not be a good enough egg, but I might be the best sock ever! I might not cut it, delivering Easter baskets, but I might be great at something else!

Mr. Bunny: Oh, the drums! I think that's fine. I think it's really nice that you have a hobby. Everybody should have a hobby.

E.B.: [he spins his egg-shaped globe] It's not a hobby, Dad! I wanna drum in a band! I wanna see the world!

Mr. Bunny: E.B., the Easter Bunny sees the world. Every country in one night, making people happy.

E.B.: [he points to China] Really, Dad? The whole world? What about China?

Mr. Bunny: [cuts back to E.B.'s room] Look, it's candy, woman! Madame, please. Alright. So, we haven't cracked China yet. But for all those that do believe, you will be there.

E.B.: No, Dad! I don't wanna be the Easter Bunny!

Mr. Bunny: [seriously; goes to the door to leave the room] Now, you listen to me! 4,000 years of tradition doesn't end just because one selfish bunny doesn't feel like doing it!

E.B.: Look, Dad...

Mr. Bunny: [closes his bedroom door] No, E.B.! You look! You are going to be the Easter Bunny! Now you need to get it together, get rid of these drums and get your priorities straight! I'll see you out there!

E.B.: No. I don't think you will.

Self-Reflection and Friendship in a Crisis

David Hasselhoff: [E.B. turns around] There he is. How's my little guy.

E.B.: Actually, David Hasselhoff, I've got a problem.

David Hasselhoff: [he snaps his fingers and chairs are placed for him and E.B.] Hmm. Is it the jitters? Believe me, even I used to get them. Now, I find a good way...

E.B.: [interrupts the Hoff] No, it's not the jitters, David. I'm starting to realize I might be a really selfish rabbit. Look, I love drumming, but when my friend needed me most, I left him in a house full of highly-trained ninja bunnies. What am I gonna do?

David Hasselhoff: Hmm, a dilemma as old as time itself.

E.B.: I know if I left right now, I'd be giving up fame.

David Hasselhoff: [[The Pirates! Band of Misfits|untold riches] And ].

E.B.: And untold riches.

David Hasselhoff: And all the bunnies you could ever want.

E.B.: Yes, and all the... You're not really helping much, David, like, at all! And Fred could be in real trouble.

David Hasselhoff: [pause, referring to Fred; gets up and turns around] Go to him. Go...to...him.

Announcer: Give it up for David Hasselhoff! It's the Hoff! Yeah!

Fred: Not your problem. There's no dishes in the wild.

E.B.: No, Fred, but... I'm special!

Fred: Well, we're all special.

E.B.: [jumps onto Fred's car; crouches and lets some candy out] You're not getting it. I don't mean special as in "everybody's special", like we're different. I mean I'm really special.

Fred: What're you doing?

Fred: [looks behind E.B.] Jelly beans?

E.B.: Mmm-hmm.

Fred: Are you crazy? Who wouldn't wanna be the Easter Bunny? That's, like, the greatest job ever.

E.B.: Yeah, you'd think so, but it's what my dad wants, not me. He expects so much. What's left of me to do but let him down?

Fred: Hmm, sounds familiar. Sometimes fathers just don't get it.

E.B.: [frustrated] H-He told me I only ever think of myself!

Fred: Other times they hit the nail right on the head.

E.B.: C'mon, Fred. I know we said we'd go our own separate ways, but please, you gotta protect me.

Fred: Look, I'm sorry, but I can't really leave you places, I can't really take you places, and I gotta go to my sister's play tonight.

E.B.: [looks up with sad eyes] Oh, I like plays.

Fred: We should go see a play that my sister's not in and my family will not be attending.

E.B.: [pause] I understand. Just drop me off at the bus station. I'm sure I'll be fine. I could be one of those street drummers...with a bucket!
