THEY LAUGH

Hey, everybody, happy Easter.

Mrs Barker's brought me to her Easter egg hunt.

I can't wait.

I love chocolate.

Ready, Roy?

Ready, steady, go, Tristan.

Tristan just had a brilliant idea.

Why don't we team up and find more eggs together?

That's a great idea.

Go, team O'Brien-Jones.

Or should it be Jones-O'Brien?

Who cares? Go, team Us.

Good morning, boys and girls.

And welcome to the Barkers' 50th annual Easter egg hunt.

-ALL:

-Yay!

Let's just run through Mr Barker's long list of rules.

-ALL:

-Oh!

But seeing as he can't make it this year,

I've decided there are no rules.

-ALL:

-Yay!

Just everybody enjoy themselves and have fun.

Mrs Barker?

-Yes, Roy?

-Mr Barker left a message for me to give you before he went on

his fishing holiday.

Really?

Hello, Barbara. Hello, kids.

Hello, Joan.

Thanks for taking my place but just remember, every good Easter egg hunt

needs rules, a whistle, and a strict umpire.

-Barbara?

-Yes, Reg.

I'll be counting on you.

And you too, Joan. Have fun, everybody.

And remember, kids, find as many eggs you can.

I guess we'd better do as he says.

That's no problem. You be Reg and I'll be you.

Deal. Is everybody ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Counting down from...

-ALL:

-Three, two, one.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Good luck, boys and girls.

There's chocolate eggs waiting out there for you.

COUGHING

What about under here, Mike?

Yes, let's look.

Tristan, Becky, I've found four eggs.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Three minutes gone, kids.

Three minutes gone.

The noise of that thing!

I know. Drives you round the bend every year.

Do you really need to blow it so loudly?

-Reg did ask.

-I know, you're right.

WHISTLE BLOWS

Just a reminder, kids, all eggs must be stored in the two bags provided.

I repeat...

Barbara, I think they heard you.

Have you seen my whistle?

I could've sworn I left it here on the table.

No, it wasn't there the last time I looked.

Maybe you lost it somewhere in the park.

I'd better go and find it.

It's Reg's favourite.

Oh, shall I come and help you?

No, you take care of things here.

OK. Good luck.

How's everybody getting on?

-Four eggs so far.

-I've got five.

How about you, Roy?

You got all of those eggs by yourself?

-Yep.

-That's unbelievable.

I'm not finished yet.

By the time I'm done,

we'll have enough chocolate to last till Halloween.

But don't you think we have enough already?

Yeah, there's no more room in your bag.

But the hunt isn't over yet.

I know, but we don't want to be greedy.

Greedy? It's a competition.

And Mr Barker told us to find as many eggs as we can.

Yeah, Roy, but what Becky means...

Sorry, guys. Got to run.

Look after these eggs for me while I find more.

This could be bad, Tristan.

-I know.

-What are we going to do?

You haven't seen my whistle lying about, have you?

-Any luck?

-No?

Disappeared off the face of the earth.

Reg will have kittens when he finds out.

Well, never mind.

Let's sit down and have a nice cup of tea and a sandwich.

Hey, guys. What's with all the long faces?

And how come none of them have any eggs in their bags?

Did you not enjoy the hunt, Holly?

-No.

-Why?

We didn't find a single egg.

None of us did. That cartoon kid got to them first.

This is the best Easter ever.

-Yeah.

-Wait till we I home and start our chocolate feast!

Brilliant.

Hello, Mrs Barker.

Did you see? Look what we found.

Yes, Roy. Well done.

-Cheater.

-Who, me? I'm not a cheater.

Don't call my brother that.

Well, he is, Becky.

-No, he isn't.

-Yes, he is.

I never cheated.

No-one stood a chance today.

Not with him zooming and leaping and stretching all over the place.

Big cartoon cheater.

-KIDS:

-Cartoon cheater! Cartoon cheater! Cartoon cheater!

WHISTLE BLOWS

Hey, where did that come from?

I'm sorry, Barbara. I'll explain later.

Children, please.

Let's all calm down.

There's no need to call anyone a cheater.

But he is a cheater.

Yeah. He should be disqualified.

-KIDS:

-Disqualify him! Disqualify him!

Stop! I'm not a cheater.

Give back those eggs, cheater.

-Yeah, give them back.

-KIDS:

-Give back the eggs! Give back the eggs!

No, you'll have to catch me first.

-Hey, come back.

-Get him!

PANTING

-Roy! Roy, can you hear me? Are you OK?

-Roy!

I'm not a cheater.

What would Wonder Roy do?

MUSIC PLAYS

What? Come on, Finn. Let's see if we can lend a hand.

Hello. Where's the driver gone?

Hands up, Wonder Roy.

-Fins up, er...Finn!

-We've won for certain, this time!

Yes, there is no way they can escape.

LAUGHTER

What is it you want, super-team?

Two tonnes of glitter made of gold.

My own fully stocked joke shop.

A tank submarine fighter jet.

-You what?

-I have the plans to make it.

You can supply me with the parts.

-And five lifetime passes for Toonville water park.

-Right.

What's wrong with that?

Have you never been on the slides or tried the big wave machine?

It's amazing.

Fine. The city will meet your ransom demands.

We just want Wonder Roy and Finn back safe and sound.

Outside City Hall.

One hour from now.

Make the exchange.

We did it. We actually did it.

After all these years.

After all these defeats.

We finally won.

Time to put crime back in its place.

Not yet. Look how happy they are.

Let them enjoy their victory a while longer.

Oh, dear.

Look out. They've broken free.

Drat! They still have the water passes.

You win this round, super-team, but we'll meet again.

-I win!

-Yes!

I still don't get it, Wonder Roy.

We always win. Always.

I just thought it would be nice for them to know what it feels like.

-Yeah, OK.

-As long as we don't make a habit of it and they don't jump the

queue at the super-duper mountain splash slide.

You OK, sweetheart?

I think I know why the other boys and girls called me a cheater.

-You do?

-Sometimes I forget I can do things they can't.

Becky and Tristan warned me not to be greedy.

I should've listened to them.

It wasn't your fault, Roy.

"Find as many eggs as you can." That's what Mr Barker told you.

Yeah, but I never stopped to think.

About what, Roy?

Imagine how I'd feel someone faster and bendier than me

found all the eggs and I ended up with none.

Would you be disappointed?

Of course. Maybe I'd end up calling them a cheater.

It's nice to do your best and win, but sometimes letting other people

feel like winners, too, is more important.

I think I know a way for everybody to have a happy Easter.

You're just jealous, all of you.

He stole all the eggs.

-He's a cheater.

-KIDS:

-Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater!

-Stop!

-WHISTLE BLOWS

I understand why you think I cheated,

but I promise you, I didn't.

I know I'm a little different to the rest of you

and I'm sorry for hogging all the eggs, but if you let me,

I think I have a way to make things right.

Well, how?

We start over - a new egg hunt.

Mrs Barker re-hides all the eggs and this time,

I won't use my cartoon abilities.

-Does that sound fair?

-Put it there.

-Everybody ready?

-KIDS:

-Yeah!

Barbara, if you'll do the honours.

Let the hunt begin.

WHISTLE BLOWS

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Hey, we've found some!

-We've found some, too!

Look. We found two.

-Roy?

-Hey.

We just wanted to say sorry for calling you a cheater.

Thanks.

It's just... Well, we've never seen anybody as fast as you before...

-..or as stretchy.

-I guess you were right, Becky.

We were just jealous.

Roy, some of the things you can do are amazing.

-Will you show us?

-Well, what do you want to see?

Be all stretchy.

You mean like this?

Or how about superfast Roy?

Or bouncy Roy?

I bet Reg wishes he was here.

Best Easter egg hunt ever, Joan.
