EXT, A FLORIDA STATE PARK - DAY
Yogi
Bear and Ranger Smith on a nature trail, looking around at scrub pines and
palmettos.
YOGI: Wow, Ranger Smith. I’m
sure glad you talked us into this field trip. This Florida forest sure is a
fascinating eco-system!
RANGER SMITH: It sure is, Yogi.
I –
Eyes go wide. Stops in his tracks.
RANGER SMITH: Oh God. Don’t look,
Yogi.
YOGI: What? Oh no!
Now Yogi sees the horrible scene.
Boo-Boo sprawled on the ground,
the poor little guy's chest splattered open by a bloody Sam Peckinpah-style
shotgun blast.
YOGI: Boo-boo!
Runs to him.
BOO-BOO: I-is it bad, Yogi?
YOGI: Nah. Just a scratch
BOO-BOO: F** you, Yogi. You’re a
lying mother****
YOGI: I sure am, Boo-boo.
BOO-BOO: It’s c-cold, Yogi.
Yogi holds him.
YOGI: Who did this, Boo-Boo.
BOO-BOO: Hunters, Yogi. H –
Boo-Boo buys the farm. Eyes
turn to cartoon Xs. His spirit ascends to the place dead cartoon characters go.
Yogi howls, stands clutching
Boo-Boo’s body. Gently sets him down. Looks around. Then smiles,
evilly. Spying --
The Hunters, now ironically
enjoying a picnic, hunkered down near a stand of cypress, just chomping away,
weapons conveniently out of reach, a lifeless Wally Gator strapped to the SUV
behind them.
Yogi's eyes narrow to slits.
He rears back and extends his claws, roaring in feral rage. Advances --
Ranger Smith puts out his
hand to his chest and stops him.
RANGER SMITH: No, Yogi. That
would be wrong.
Cocks shotgun, hands it to
him.
RANGER SMITH: Use this.
