Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey, D.W.!

Hey!

Whoa...

How long have we been waiting?

I don't know.

At least a million hours.

This movie better be worth it.

It's "Dark Bunny vs. Bionic Bunny"!

Of course it'll be worth it!

But what if we die of boredom before we ever get to see it?

Then at least it'll have been for a good cause.

Hey, I'm glad I brought these raisins.

How about 20 Questions?

I'll think of a pair of initials

and you try to guess who it is.

Uh... M.C.

Muffy Crosswire.

Okay.

That was too easy.

J.K.

Jacob Katzenellenbogan.

How on earth did you guess that?!

It was obvious!

It's moving!

Ah, we're saved!

Bored, huh?

I'll say!

Are you in line, too?

No, I saw it already.

Waste of money.

Dark Bunny wins.

But I've got a surefire way to beat boredom.

Just watch this.

Okay, you can start the episode now!

It's so much better than that movie.

"Binky Wrestles with a Story."

Okay, students, we have a special treat for you!

School is canceled?

Not exactly.

Tomorrow is Take a Student to Work Day.

You'll each shadow an adult at their workplace.

Shadow?

Learn about their job by doing it with them.

Cool!

"Mrs. Barnes, nurse."

Cool! Say, "Ah!"

"Mrs. Hurley, crossing guard."

Hey, I'm in law enforcement.

: Don't you even think about littering.

Please, please, please let it be a race car driver.

"Mrs. Baxter...

: editor-in-chief, 'Elwood City Times.'"

Aw, man!

No offense.

You got Buster's mom?

No fair!

Can we trade?

No trading.

But that job will be wasted on Binky.

Huh?

No, it won't be!

When you return, you'll all...

Give a report...

Well, have fun, I bet it'll be super exciting.

I will!

And I bet I'll be really good at it, too.

Thanks, Mom!

See you after work.

This might actually be kinda fun.

Okay now!

Smile!

I can't see! (siren blaring, cars approaching)

He's all yours, Officer Buster!

How did you get here before us?

Sorry, a journalist never reveals his sources.

Binky!

Welcome to my home away from home:

"The Elwood City Times."

Hope you've done your stretches today--

I like to walk fast.

This is the main newsroom.

We've got an exciting day ahead of us.

Got that story

on the busted traffic light.

Great, cut the first sentence and get me a picture!

First you'll sit in on an editorial meeting.

That's where we decide what's newsworthy.

Macaulay!

Who's covering the Lord wedding?

I am!

Well, get on it!

The ceremony's in half an hour!

Then we'll cover Mayor Hirsch's speech at City Hall.

Coffee, Mrs. Baxter?

Does a bunny have ears?

Sweet petunia, that's awful.

Then it's lunch with our sports reporter.

And finally we'll edit tomorrow's lead story.

Got all that?

Uh... not really.

Something about a traffic light?

You'll do just fine.

The new cutbacks

to the Elwood City Sanitation Department

might be a good story.

It certainly affects the community.

Hildy, you've been covering this.

What do you think?

Well, if you look at the budget...

Blah blah-blah blah-blah

blah-blah-blah...

Blah-blah-blah-blah blah-blah...

Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah-blah...

Blah-blah-blah blah-blah-blah...

(blahs continue, audio fading, distorting)

Well, Binky? Huh?

What story do you think we should go with, Binky?

Um... Uh...

The latest budget cuts

or the need for new traffic lights?

Were there any bank robberies?

Sorry.

We don't get a lot of robberies here.

But you never know!

BITZI (quietly): Prepare your question.

Mayor Hirsch removes his glasses when he's winding down.

Got one?

Mr. Mayor?

My associate has a question.

My friend Lydia still has trouble

taking her wheelchair on Main Street.

Um, can you fix that?

Ooh! Good one!

What about your plans for making downtown wheelchair-accessible?

Well, it's a complicated issue.

Blah-blah-blah blah-blah-blah...

Does that answer your question?

Um, yeah.

Thanks.

So, Harry, what's new in the sports world?

Any big games coming up?

Well, it's not baseball season so the Grebes aren't playing.

But they might get a new manager, though.

Oh, is it that guy from the Greenville Goshawks?

No, it's a new guy from the Edgewood Egrets.

Blah-blah-blah-blah.

Blah-blah-blah-blah...

Stop blah-blahing!

Well, I have been accused of having purple prose,

but never blah-blahing.

Sorry.

It's just-- this is a newspaper, right?

Where's all the exciting stuff?

The fires!

The car chases!

The bank robberies!

Sorry, Binky.

But our job is to report the news-- not make it up.

I guess I thought it would be different.

Hey, want to make copies with me?

Okay.

Maybe the copier'll get jammed.

Three more hours to go...

For you.

I'm usually here till 7:00 or 8:00.

Don't you ever get... bored?

Sure I do.

And frustrated.
