Scene 1: At the fast food restaurant

Tubbs is happily eating a burger when he looks up and notices that Choppsy isn’t eating anything. Choppsy looks concerned.

Tubbs: Why are you not eating?

Choppsy: My Mom says that eating too much junk food ruins your dinner.

Tubbs: What? That’s ridiculous!

Choppsy: She says that if you fill up on snacks then you won’t eat your dinner.

Tubbs: You shouldn’t listen to your Mom. She’s one of those public health freaks who believes all the fake news online. (Tubbs finishes his burger and starts on a second one).

Choppsy: But, she’s my Mom. Surely I should do as she says?

Tubbs: Have you ever failed to eat your dinner?

Choppsy: (ears down) no.

Tubbs: Have I ever failed to eat my dinner? Or any meal for that fact?

Choppsy’s ears pick up, he smiles and laughs.

Choppsy: Of course not. Look at you!

Tubbs: Exactly! Your Mom is an idiot. (Tubbs finishes his second burger. His belly visibly swells. He gives it a pat, burps, takes a swig of his cola and then picks up a handful of fries).

Choppsy: You are incredibly fat.

Tubbs’s mouth is rammed full of french fries. He smiles at the compliment, munches them down and burps for a second time.

Tubbs: I’m the cutest rabbit in the whole school!

Choppsy blushes.

Choppsy: Part of me does wish that my belly was as big as yours.

Tubbs: Well it won’t ever be if you keep listening to your stupid Mom. She’s holding you back.

Choppsy shyly grabs a handful of fries and places them in his mouth.

Tubbs: Oi! I didn’t say you could eat mine! (Tubbs laughs. Picks up his final burger and swallows it whole. His belly expands even further. He lifts up his short hind leg and lets out a massive stinky fart).

Both rabbits laugh joyously.

Fade out.

Scene 2: The school dinner hall

Both rabbits are waiting in line for pizza. Choppsy’s belly is noticeably more distended and protrudes out like an inflated balloon.

Tubbs: How are you feeling now?

Choppsy gives his round pot belly a pat and smiles shyly.

Choppsy: Good. You were right about that third order of burgers.

Tubbs: So do you feel like eating all of that is going to ruin your lunch?

Choppsy: No way! I feel totally stuffed but that just makes me more determined to eat even more!

Tubbs: Now you’re getting it! I’m going to have twelve slices and a big bowl of ice cream!

Choppsy: I don’t think I could manage that much.

Tubbs frowns at Choppsy.

Choppsy: But I’m going to do my very best to be the fattest rabbit that I can be!

Tubbs smiles and playfully pokes Choppsy in the belly causing him to burp.

Both rabbits stock up on pizza and ice cream and take a seat. The camera films them eating while upbeat music plays. Both rabbits polish off all their food causing their bellies to swell massively once more. Finished, they sit back and relax, looking completely satisfied.

Choppsy: I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much before in my life.

Tubbs: Magnificent isn’t it?

Choppsy: It feels wonderful to really pig out but I’m worried what my Mom is going to say when she sees how much weight I’ve gained.

Tubbs: Who cares what your Mom thinks! Go home, beat your belly in front of her, and demand that she feeds you properly for dinner!

Choppsy: Yeah! Stuff my Mom! She’s a total idiot! I'm gonna demand that she makes me three dozen plates of pancakes and butterscotch!

Tubbs: And what will you do if she refuses?

Choppsy: Report her to the police!

Tubbs: Good boy. Now you get it! Eating as much as you want to is a human right enshrined in the Surplus Equality Bill of 2048. Anyone who refuses to feed you when you say that you are hungry deserves to be in jail. It makes no difference if you are really hungry or not, if you say that you are then they must feed you, it’s the law.

Choppsy: Thank you for helping me to understand Tubbs. What lesson do we have next?

Tubbs: Home economics.

Choppsy: Oh yeah, we’re making chocolate gateau. How could I forget something that tasty!

Choppsy licks his lips and his bloated ball belly rumbles and growls in greedy anticipation. A thought bubble appears above Choppsy’s head as he enters a day dream. He is imagining himself as a severely obese adult rabbit. His belly is massively bloated to cartoon sized proportions. He is so fat that he clearly can’t move. His belly sits on the floor, sticking nearly ten feet out in front of him. Every part of his body is bloated beyond belief. His face is filthy and smothered in the remains of yet another chocolate gateau. In the background his mother is sitting inside a prison cell. Choppsy drawls at the thought of being so luxuriously fat.

The sound of his ever hungry belly rumbling wakes him from his dream. He flashes a happy but slightly evil smile and the camera zooms in on his real hugely swollen and shaking pot belly, still gurgling and growling loudly. We fade to black.

Upbeat theme music plays.
