(FADE IN on a plush green landscape, covered by a plastic dome.
Colored sparkles are swirling around inside the bubble.  Inside,
four cuddly roly-poly creatures made out of foam rubber are dancing
around spastically.  These are the Bubblebabies, KAZOO, WINKY,
BUH-BUH, and URP.  A giant ball of fire shaped like a baby's grinning
head -- the sun of this beautiful world -- rises over the horizon
and winks.  The Bubblebabies are rolling around on the ground,
accompanied by music-box music played at half speed.)

        BUH-BUH
        Funny!  Funny!

(They chase each other around in circles a while.)

        WINKY
        Funny!  Funny!

        URP
        Again!

        KAZOO
        Again again!

(they chase each other around in circles a while.)

        WINKY
        Funny!  Funny!

        BUH-BUH
        Winky!

        WINKY
        Buh-buh!

        BUH-BUH
        Again!

        WINKY
        Buh-buh!

        BUH-BUH
        Winky!

(Winky and Buh-Buh hug.)

        KAZOO
        Again!

        URP
        Again again!

(Winky and Buh-Buh hug.  The Bubblebabies begin jumping up
and down for a while.  Suddenly giant periscopes, with eyeballs
where the lenses should be, rise out of the nearby mountains.
The Bubblebabies all gasp in horror and duck and cover.
An enormous fireball explodes from the smiling baby-head sun
and toasts everything.  Cautiously, the Bubblebabies come
out of hiding.)

        KAZOO
        Again!

        BUH-BUH
        Again again!

        WINKY
        Again again, again again!

        URP
        Again again, again again!  Again again, again again!

(They all duck and cover and the sun explodes again.)

        WINKY
        Funny!  Funny!

(A huge silver pinwheel rises out of the sun and begins
spinning with an ominous wump-wump-wump sound.  A continuous
stream of lightning bolts begins coming out of it and going
into URP's eyes.  His chest shows stock footage of some babies
watching Bubblebabies, for several minutes.  Then the lightning
bolts intensify and he screams.  The camera dives into his
mouth.  FADE TO BLACK.)

(We see a close-up of Bob Hope's face, and we hear dogs
barking to the tune of "Jingle Bells".  The photo of Bob Hope
slowly revolves as the camera zooms in on his eyes.  Suddenly,
in the middle of a stanza, we SMASH-CUT to the camera zooming
in and out repeatedly, very fast, on a whirling assembly of
Tinkertoys while we hear the sound of a cat with a rocking
chair on its tail.  DISSOLVE TO URP sitting on his butt,
as the pinwheel retracts into the sun.)

        BUH-BUH
        Again!

        KAZOO
        Again again again again again again again again!

(URP bursts into tears and runs out of the frame.  A magical
lollipop tree suddenly grows into existence near WINKY.
He pulls off a lollipop, takes a big bite out of it,
and throws it away.)

        BUH-BUH
        Again!

(WINKY pulls off another lollipop, takes a bite out of it,
and thows it away.)

        BUH-BUH
        Again!

(This repeats until there is only one lollipop left on
the tree.  WINKY pulls it off, and suddenly the lollipop
turns into a big mouth that bites off WINKY's face.)

        KAZOO
        Funny!  Funny!

        BUH-BUH
        Funny funny funny funny!  Kazoo!

        KAZOO
        Buh-buh!

        BUH-BUH
        Kazoo!

        KAZOO
        Buh-buh!

(They pull out guns and shoot each other.  For several
seconds, nothing happens.  Then URP carefully peeks
into the frame.)

        URP
        Funny...?

(A squadron of white Mickey Mouse gloves slowly levitates
into view above the horizon, making helicopter noises.  Suddenly,
with a loud sucking sound, they rush forward and cover the
camera lens.)

(CUT TO BLACK.  In voice-over, we hear URP being strangled.)

(CUT TO:  CARD READING "PLEASE STAND BY".
NEVER CUT AWAY FROM THIS CARD.  THE END.)


                                          -- K.

                                          I'm sure when I actually see
                                          the premiere of Teletubbies
                                          tomorrow it'll be even more
                                          repetitious and less non-threatening.
