Aww hello both of you! Nice to see you today, especially you Chinchilla! Thanks for the chocolate cake yesterday..

Don’t mention it, Mrs. Hare! As long as your daughter’s happy! [calls back]

[smirks back at Beaver and Hare] What was that? Didn’t you see that?
Chinchilla
See what? [still looking around]
FOX
They ignored me. [heads tilted to his left side]

Isn’t that obvious? They like you better, obviously. [rolls eyes]

THE NEW FAVORITE
Scene Two – Ext. Alleyway, night.
Fox trots alone along the alleyway.
FOX
Hmph, I’m better off alone. Nobody will compare me to him. [trots arrogantly]
[Faint gibberish heard from one of the alleys] Fox overheard some female animals talking. Fox’s face turns red as he saw CAT among them.
peacock
[Fade in] Did you see Chinchilla today? [British accent, blinks eyes]
CAT
Ahh yes, ze handsome fellow. [French accent, licks right paw]
PEACOCK
Yes he’s the most handsome fellow there is now, savvy? [giggles, covers lower face with right wing]
CAT
Oui, oui. But what of ze other one, un renard! The fox! [tail wiggles]
Peacock
Ah, I used to fancy him too. But he’s.. what do you say.. outdated now. Chinchilla is way better than him he shares his food, he’s funnier, he’s talented.. [fade out]
Fox walks away grunting.
FOX
What the heck was that? Grrrrr! I WILL regain my fame!
Fox goes away grumpily.

FOX
I’ll show YOU who’s the one who deserved the kiss! [speaks to himself]
The race count begins.
CROWD
Three! Two! One! GO!!
Fox and Chinchilla gained speed and ran to the finish line. Blinded by anger, Fox forgot about the trap and since he’s in the lead, he reached there first. Fox stepped on the trap.

FOX
I- I don’t know what to say.. You saved me. But I.. Why am I like this? I’m sorry..
CHINCHILLA
