"Animation pioneerTex Avery was probably the single biggest influence on the animation comedy style of Who Framed Roger Rabbit." "The next shot of Roger is known as a "take;" a character's sudden reaction." "In an Avery-style take, eyes pop out, jaws drop to the floor, bodies become stiff as boards, to visually show in extreme how a character feels." "Avery exaggerated action gags, through speed and body changes, as never before." "This influenced everybody's animation." "Born in Taylor, Texas, Tex Avery was a leading Animation Director at Warner Bros. from 1936 to 1942." "Then at M-G-M, he did his most distinctive work from 1942 through 1954." "Later, Avery created TV commercials." "His best known ad shows an insect world's view of a leading bug spray." "Avery developed a following of young admirers who rediscovered his work after his death in 1980, at age 72." "This is classic "cause-and-effect" comedy structure." "Something happens that causes another event, which causes a wilder event, and gags keep building layer upon layer." "Silent-film comedians like Charles Chaplin and Buster Keaton pioneered comedy stories as a "chain-of-events."" "The early Disney animation staff studied Chaplin's movies." "Director Robert Zemeckis stated, "Moving out of the cartoon into reality was the crucial scene in the movie." "That shot had to work or everything would be over three minutes after it began.""

"All of a sudden the director walks in."" "Baby Herman was animated here by Richard Williams, the film's director of animation." "Director Zemeckis first got excited about this project-in-development in 1982."

"Eddie glances down at a small Mickey Mouse figurine on the table." "The editor hunched over the moviola is Morgan Deare, who also voices Bongo, the ape bouncer of the Ink and Paint Club."

"Roger Rabbit satirises how certain American corporations collaborated to use fake companies as fronts to privatise the nation's streetcar systems and drive them out of business." "This created a heavier reliance on automobiles, which consume more oil and rubber products." "In 1949, the bogus companies were convicted of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act and fined $5,000 each." "By 1960, 88% of the nation's highly efficient transit systems had been eliminated." "Eddie is in the Terminal Bar, representing the transportation terminal that was in downtown Los Angeles." "You can hear a train running on one of the underground lines."

"Not counting Jessica, all the Toons in the nightclub had appeared in movies by that time except who?" "The Penguins had been working as waiters but were not cast in a film until Mary Poppins, released in 1964."

"Eddie's character was a spoof of Humphrey Bogart's portrayals of cynical detectives Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon (1941) and The Big Sleep's Philip Marlowe (1946)." "The movie Chinatown (1974) was influential in the making of Roger Rabbit." "That film was a stylish detective film set in 1930s Los Angeles, and was a favourite of the Roger Rabbit screenwriters." "Roger's angst is styled after Burt Young's character chewing the Venetian blinds in the movie Chinatown." "In keeping with the 1940s period, Director Robert Zemeckis wanted classically cartoony sounding voices for the new characters." "Before creating the original voice of Roger Rabbit, Charles Fleischer was a stand- up comic who performed regularly at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles." "Zemeckis remembered seeing Fleischer on stage eight years before making the movie and ultimately called him in to audition for various Toon roles." "Roger morphs into a whistle once common to signal important times of the day at factories." "Fleischer also read the part of Roger Rabbit during screen tests for the Eddie Valiant character." "By the third test, everyone agreed Charlie should be Roger." "No one else was considered." "Aftergrowing up in Washington, D. C., Charles Fleischer spent 15 years working night clubs and in minor film roles." "He had parts in The Hand (1981), Night Shift (1982), Nightmare On Elm Street (1984), and laterStraight Talk (1992)."

"Roger Rabbit merchandise available to the public ranged from coffee mugs and t-shirts to expensive jewellery and jackets with character appliqués." "One rejected proposal was for an inflatable Jessica doll." "Every frame was animated (24 frames per second) as opposed to the short cuts taken forTV animation which repeats frames so that drawings only change every 2nd or 4th frame; sometimes even less." "All scenes were hand-drawn." "There were no short cuts and no computer-assisted graphics." "82,080 frames (with multiple layers of animation) were hand-drawn for the film." "Including concept and story sketches, Richard Williams estimates that a million drawings went into making Who Framed Roger Rabbit." "Christopher Lloyd was previously seen in Back To The Future (1985) and on the TV series "Taxi."" "Born in Stamford, Connecticut, Christopher Lloyd explored his craft through New York stage work along with Meryl Streep and Christopher Walken." "Director Milos Forman asked Lloyd to make his film debut in One Flew OverThe Cuckoo's Nest (1975)." "His later films included Mel Brooks'" "What Disney film was also infested by weasels?" "Although these weasels are unique to Roger Rabbit, they bear a suspicious resemblance to the slithery villains of the "Wind in the Willows" segment of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad (1949)." "There, a pack of weasels manage to overrun the Toad Hall estate." ""The Sneezing Weasel" (Warner Bros. 1938, directed by Tex Avery) may be a distant cousin." "The ingredients of"dip" - turpentine, acetone, and benzene - are all commonly used as paint thinners and solvents which of course would destroy cartoon characters painted on cels." "Actor Lou Hirsch (voice of Adult Baby Herman) was spotted in the TV mini- series "London Embassy" (1987) and the movies Superman III (1983) and Haunted Honeymoon (1986)." "In the book that inspired the movie, Baby Herman is 33." "Here, he is 50." "The comic strip characters of the book were changed to cartoon stars to be more cinematic." "For character design, artists looked at dozens of vintage magazine ads of the 1940s showing babies, as well as the "Baby Weems" sequence of The Reluctant Dragon (1941)." "326 animators and support staff worked on the film;" "254 in London for more than a year and 72 in Los Angeles for eight months." "Roger Rabbit slightly resembles a very early Walt Disney character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit." "Both are white rabbits who walk upright and wear overalls." "Early on, Animation Director Williams analysed the design of Roger as having a Tex Avery neck and a Disney body with the lower face in the style of Warner Bros. characters." "Richard Williams on Roger;" ""With the red overalls, white body, and blue bow tie, he became like an American flag."" "As a youngster, Richard Williams was knocked out by Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), saying, "I was fascinated by the fact that cartoons could appear to walk and talk and even think."" "That experience started his animation career." "Notice how the camera moves throughout the movie." "This made animation extremely difficult but added to the dimensional look of the Toons." "Roger does a take-off of square-jawed, comic strip detective Dick Tracy." "Animation Director Richard Williams filmed Charles Fleischer saying "P-P-Pleeeese" as a guide for animating the movement of Roger's mouth." "As with all the live-action/ animated scenes, Roger Rabbit was added months later." "Hoskins was up to the challenge of acting alone, but considered this scene the hardest one to do." "To prepare for scenes like this, Hoskins studied his three-year-old daughter with her imaginary playmates." "Richard Williams and Robert Zemeckis agreed there could be no cost cutting that could spoil the illusion." "All animation would be hand drawn for each frame of film (24 frames equal one second on the screen)." "Animation Director Richard Williams commented about how Toons had been combined with humans in past films;" ""You see the trick and are not able to suspend your disbelief."" "Animation Director Richard Williams set out to break three rules that previously had been conventions for combining live action with animation." "1." "Move the camera as much as possible so the Toons don't look pasted onto flat backgrounds." "2." "Use lighting and shadows to an extreme that had never before been attempted (each shadow required at least five optical effects elements)." "3." "Have the Toons interact with real world objects and people as much as possible." "Each weasel in these scenes had five layers of special, hand painted, lighting effects to give them a three-dimensional quality." "That added up to 25 pieces of artwork for each frame or 600 drawings per second." "Before the weasel got a hold of this soap, it was carried around the live-action set by a puppeteer." "The puppeteer with the thinnest hand was chosen so that his hand could later be covered up by the Toon." "Because the camera kept moving, changing the point of view animators had to work extra hard so the Toons wouldn't appear to be slipping or sliding around over the set." "Mae West was an actress who gained great popularity in the 1930s." "Her comedy was marked by its campy, suggestive humour." "Dolores's upcoming line is a parody of a typical Mae West line, "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"" "Animation Director Williams commented how an early comedy team influenced this film;" ""Laurel and Hardy are funny because they're constantly getting tangled up physically with each other."" ""We thought the cartoon characters should always be affecting their environment orgetting tangled up with the live actors."" "Filmmakers originally planned to have 40 minutes of animation, but ended up with 55 minutes out of the total 104 minutes of the film." "The animation took two years to complete, with animators sometimes having to work 20 hours a day to meet deadlines." "Following this scene, the film's original script included Marvin Acme's funeral." "Planned as a major animated sequence, the idea went only as far as storyboards and preliminary dialogue recording before being abandoned." "At the funeral, Eddie was to get a clue that lead to another scene that was also deleted here." "In that sequence, Judge Doom caught Eddie snooping around Jessica's room." "To teach him a lesson, Doom had the weasels take the nosey detective to Toontown." "Moments later in that deleted scene, Eddie is kicked out of Toontown with a cartoon pig on his head." "To cover the deletion, Eddie answers Dolores off camera - a line change dubbed in later." "He returns to his office to wash the painted pig head off with turpentine." "That's why he is coming out of the shower here." "As with most films, many bits like that were trimmed out of the movie to keep the pace going." "In addition, co-writer Jeffrey Price thought it was funnier to show the similarity between humans and Toons rather than bringing attention to their differences." "Portions of the "Pig Head Sequence" were cut back into the 1991 CBS telecast of the film." "The original theatrical trailer also contained some of the footage." ""You'll never work in this town again," is a cliché line about how film industry executives abuse power to threaten people into cooperation." "Actress Kathleen Turner wanted to work again with director Zemeckis after Romancing The Stone (1984)." "As Jessica's voice, she asked for her performance to be uncredited." "It didn't stay a secret for long." "Joanna Cassidy changed her hair colour because her natural red was too similar to Jessica's red hair." "Perhaps Jessica didn't want any competition." "The film had been in and out of development for four years when exterior filming finally began in Los Angeles, California in December, 1986." "On Richard Williams' first trip to Disney Studios in 1948, he stayed at the YMCA on Hope Street in downtown Los Angeles... this same street!" "This tune became so well known because it was used as what theme music?" ""The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is the familiar theme song for the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons." "The original Friend-Franklyn song has lyrics, although they were not used for the cartoon overture." "Roger's lyrics were written just for this film." ""Toon" was popularised for the first time in this film to describe an animated character from the cartoon world." "Costume Designer Joanna Johnston specialised in period costumes withthe French Lieutenant's Woman (1981), Pirates of Penzance (1982), and Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom (1984)." "Miss Johnston won Academy Awards® for her clothing designs in Tess (1979) and Death on the Nile (1978)." "Production Designer Elliot Scott began designing sets in 1933 and became Supervising Art Director at M-G-M's British studio." "Scott helped create the atmosphere of films like Mogambo (1953), Tom Thumb (1958), The Haunting (1963)" "The Americanization of Emily (1964), Dragonslayer (1981) and the second Indiana Jones film in 1984." "The bar patron introduces Judge Doom to a non-existent "Harvey."" "Harvey was a comedy play produced in 1944 about a man with an invisible rabbit friend." "Jimmy Stewart starred in the 1950 film adaptation." "Before CDs, music was played on records." "This vintage 1920s-style gramophone had a heavy needle that projected the sound through a metal horn." "The first records only played one song and rotated at 78 revolutions per minute (rpm)." "78s, as they were called, were easily breakable before soft vinyl was developed." "Doom is tapping out the rhythmic phrase, "Shave and a haircut..." which is answered musically, "Two bits."" "Two bits is slang for a quarter- 25 cents." "Zemeckis described giving feedback to the animators;" ""I worked with the performances [not details of the drawings], the same way I would an actor in rehearsal." "They'd sketch a pose as I explained."" "Animator Dave Spafford commented, "Bob Hoskins was so good he stole the show in every shot."" ""We knew we'd be in trouble if he was more animated than we were." "We had to pull all the stops out to compete with him."" "This arguing banter to confuse someone by changing pronouns was a standard comedy routine." "Warner Bros. first used it in "A Wild Hare" (1940)." "The classic cartoon, "Rabbit Seasoning" (1952) was built around repeating this gag with Daffy Duck declaring his now famous realisation, "Pronoun trouble."" "A longer, more involved fight in the bar was filmed, but cut for pacing." "Each frame of a live-action scene was transferred into a large black and white photograph." "The animators registered their drawings on top of each photo to know where the characters should be in a scene." "Later, the finished, colour animation was combined with the colour, live-action film through special cameras." "Director Robert Zemeckis expressed his trust in Animation Director Richard Williams by stating" ""I never worried about the animation." "I knew it would be breathtaking."" "Benny refers to a running joke in this era that it never rained in California, known as the land of perpetual sunshine." "Benny makes a period joke about the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team." "Later than the time of this film, they moved to California." "In the novel, Benny was a beetle, not a cab, and had a very minor part." "Some scenes of Eddie Valiant in the taxi are actually drawings, not live-action footage of Bob Hoskins." "The sign suddenly appearing is a Tex Avery-style gag." "Benny references a "bridge," as the middle section of a song, which connects two musical ideas." "This is the Hyperion Bridge in Los Angeles' Silverlake-Atwater region, near DodgerStadium." "In real life, this street leads to the site of the 1930s Walt Disney Studios on Hyperion Avenue where Mickey Mouse and Snow White were created just a few blocks ahead." "The cartoon is "Goofy Gymnastics" (1949)." "The success of the cartoon at the beginning of the feature led to the creation of three more Roger Rabbit short subjects." ""Tummy Trouble" was released in the summer of 1989 with the feature, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." "It was the first new Disney short cartoon release since "Goofy's Freeway Trouble" in 1965." "To maintain the quality established in the feature, "Tummy Trouble" was the most expensive short cartoon ever made." "It took four months to create." "AnimatorTom Sito pointed out that for "Tummy Trouble" they had to develop an ending format since the cartoon in the feature stops before the story is finished." "For "Roller Coaster Rabbit," Director Rob Minkoff said they tried to "keep Roger up in the air and take Tex Avery's style to the Nth degree."" ""Trail Mix-Up" was released in 1993 with A Far Off Place." "A key animator for Roger Rabbit was James Baxter, who was the main animator for Belle in Beauty and the Beast (1991)." "Already a successful animator, Richard Williams said, "When I saw the tiger in The Jungle Book (Disney, 1967), I was bowled over." "I thought, I don't know beans about animation."" "Williams then went on a new 10-year training effort to further improve his craft." "On the screen is a newsreel." "The Studios produced these 10-minute summaries of world events." "Like short cartoons, they were shown in theatres before features." "That's how people saw the news before television." "There was a theatre in the old theatre district of downtown Los Angeles that showed nothing but newsreels." "Newsreels were produced up into the 1960s." "This scene was shot during a two-day period at Gray's State Theatre in Essex, England." "This scene was shot during a two-day period at Gray's State Theatre in Essex, England."

"Co-producer Robert Watts helped bring to the screen numerous landmark films such as Thunderball (1965), 2001 (1968), Star Wars (1977), and Return of the Jedi (1983)." "Robert Watts said Roger Rabbit was the most difficult of all the films he'd done." "But in the end it was worthwhile because it was unique."

"The plaque inside of Eddie's Toon gun case reads, "Thanks forgetting me out of the Hoosegow." "Yosemite Sam"" "Hoosegow is slang for jail." "The left bullet is voiced by character actor Pat Buttram, whose voices for Disney included The Aristocats (1970) and Robin Hood (1973)." "The inscription and bullets suggest the previous, close relationship Eddie had with the Toons." "Bob Hoskins exaggerated his movements once inside Toontown."

"Remember how we always thought there wasn't a way to kill a Toon?" " Yeah." " Well, Doom found a way." "Turpentine, acetone, benzene." " He calls it "the dip."" " I'll catch the rabbit, Mr Valiant." "Then I'll try him, convict him... and execute him." "Gee." "That's one dead shoe, eh, boss?" "They're not kid gloves, Mr Valiant." "But this is how we handle things down in Toontown." "I'd think you, of all people, would appreciate that." "He..." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Hey, hey!" "Hey, wait a minute!" "Hey, hey!" "I've been tryin' to make him quit, but he just won't listen to me." "What do you know, you dumb broad?" "You got the I.Q. of a rattle." " You Valiant?" " Yeah." "I wanna talk to you about the Acme murder." "Hey, psst, doll." "Why don't you run downstairs and get me a racing' form." "Ooh!" "Okay, okay." "I'm goin'." " The lady's man, huh?" " My problem is I got a 50-year-old lust in a 3-year-old dinky." " Yeah, must be tough." " Look, Valiant, the rabbit didn't kill Acme." "He's not a murderer." "I should know." "He's a dear friend of mine." "I tell ya, Valiant, the whole thing stinks like yesterday's diapers." "Look at this." "The paper said Acme left no will." "That's a load of succotash." "Every Toon knows Acme had a will." "He promised to leave Toontown to us Toons." "That will is the reason he got bumped off." " Has anybody ever seen this will?" " Uh, no, but he gave us his solemn oath." "If you believe that that joker could do anything solemn, the gag's on you, pal." "I just figured since you were the one who got my pal in trouble, you might want to help get him out." "I can pay you." "Save your money for a pair of elevator shoes!" "Wait, no!" "Valiant, no!" "Oh, my stogie!" "It ain't my fault the rabbit got himself in trouble." "All I did was take a couple of lousy pictures." "Baby was right." "The hell with it." " How the hell did you get in here?" " Through the mail slot." "I thought it would be best if I waited inside, seein' as how I'm wanted for murder!" "No kiddin'." "Just talkin' to you could get me a rap for aiding and abetting." "Wait a minute." "Anybody know you're here?" "Nobody." "Not a soul except, uh..." " Who?" " Well, you see..." "I didn't know where your office was, so I asked the newsboy." "He didn't know, so I asked the fireman, the green grocer, the butcher, the baker." "They didn't know." "But the liquor store guy, he knew." " In other words, the whole damn town knows you're here!" " Hey!" "Right!" " Come on." "Get out of here!" "Come on." "Out!" " Hey, take it easy, will ya?" " Out!" "Get out!" "Come on, out!" " Please, Eddie, don't throw me out!" "You're making a big mistake!" " Get out of here!" "Let go of that door, will ya?" " I didn't kill anybody." "I swear!" "This whole thing's a setup, a scam, a frame job." "Ouch!" "Eddie, I could never hurt anybody." "Ow!" "My whole purpose in life... is to make people... laugh!" "Okay, okay." "Sure, I admit it." "I got a little steamed when you showed me those pictures of Jessica... so I rushed over to the Ink and Paint Club." "But she wasn't in her dressing room, so I wrote her a love letter." "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "You're telling me, in a fit of jealousy you wrote your wife a love letter?" "That's right." "I know that she was just an innocent victim of circumstance." "I suppose you used the old lipstick on the mirror routine, huh?" "Lipstick, yes." "Mirror, no." "I found a nice, clean piece of paper." ""Dear Jessica, how do I love thee?" "Let me count the ways." "One-one thousand, two-one thousand, three-one thousand..." " four-one thousand, five..."" " Why didn't you just leave the letter there?" "Obviously, a poem of this power and sensitivity... must... aaah... be read in person, so I went home to wait for her." "But the weasels were there, waiting for me." "So..." "So I ran." "So why come to me?" "I'm the guy that took the pictures of your wife." "Yeah, and you're also the guy that helped all these Toons." "Everybody knows, when a Toon's in trouble... there's only one place to go:" "Valiant and Valiant." "Not any more." "Get out of that chair!" " That's my brother's chair." " Yeah." "Where is your brother anyway?" "He looks like a sensitive and sober fellow." " That's it." "I'm callin' the cops." " Go ahead." "Call the cops." "I come here for help, and what do you do?" "You turn me in." "No, no, don't feel guilty about me." "So long, and thanks for nothin'." "That's the closet!" "Stupe." "Eddie Valiant, you're under arrest." "Get out!" " Idiot." "I got no keys for these cuffs." " Huh?" "Come on." "Get the lead out." "Move it, would ya?" "Move it!" "It's the Toon Patrol!" "Hide me, Eddie." "P-P-P-P-Please!" " Remember." "You never saw me." " Get out of there!" "Don't let 'em find me!" "Come on, Eddie." "You're my only hope." " Open up in the name of the law!" "That's us." " P-P-P-P-Please, Eddie." " You know there's no justice for Toons any more." " The name of the law." " lf the weasels get their hands on me..." " Are you in there?" "Open the door, Valiant." " I'm as good as dipped." " Don't make us play rough, Valiant." "We just want the rabbit." "What are we gonna do, Eddie?" "What are we gonna do?" "What are we gonna do?" "What's all this "we" stuff?" "They just want the rabbit." "It looks like they gave us the slip, huh, boss?" "Nah." "Valiant's got him stashed somewhere." "Hold it right there." "Hello, boys." "I didn't hear you come in." "Okay, wise guy." "Where's the rabbit?" "I haven't seen him." " What's in there?" " My lingerie." "Sheesh, Valiant." "Search the place, boys... and leave no stone unturned." "Look, Valiant, we got a reliable tip-off the rabbit was here... and it was "corrugated" by several others." "So cut the "bullshtick."" "You keep talkin' like that, and I'm gonna have to wash your mouth out." "Stop that laughing'!" "Stop that laughing'!" "You know what happens when ya can't stop laughin'!" "One of these days you're gonna die laughing'." "As for you, Valiant, step out of line... and we'll hang you and your laundry... out to dry." "Come on, boys." "Let's "am-scray."" " They're gone." " Jeepers, Eddie, that was swell." "You saved my life." "How can I ever repay ya?" "For starters, don't ever kiss me again!" "Stop kicking me." "Stop kicking me." "Dolores." "Dolores!" "Dolores!" "Hey, Eddie, you made the front page today." " Yeah, I guess I made some ink." " And what ink." "Come on, Eddie." "Just let's go." "Please!" "So tell me, Eddie." "Is that a rabbit in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?" "Cut the comedy, Dolores." "I've had a very hard day." " I gotta get out of these cuffs." " Oh, swell." "Whew!" "Jeepers, Eddie, that almost killed me!" " Ow!" " Boy, what is this?" "Some kind of a secret room?" "It's a rotgut room." "A holdover from Prohibition." "Oh, I get it." "A speakeasy, a gin mill, a hooch parlour." " Tools are up here, Eddie." " Look at this!" "It's a spy hole!" "Jeepers, Eddie!" "This would be a great place to hide!" " Crazy Toon." " Watch your head!" "I thought you said you'd never take another Toon case." " What'd you have, a change of heart?" " Nothing's changed." "Somebody's make a patsy out of me, and I'm going to find out why." "Hold still, will ya?" " Does this help?" " Yeah." "Thanks." "You mean to tell me that you could have taken your hand out of that cuff at any time?" "No, not at any time." "Only when it was funny." " Get out!" " Come on, Eddie." "Where's your sense of humour?" "He always this funny, or only on days when he's wanted for murder?" "Listen, my philosophy is this:" "If you don't have a good sense of humour, you're better off dead." "You just may get your wish unless I can figure out what happened to this." " What is it, Eddie?" " Just look at it." " Mr Acme's will." " Yeah." "And I think Maroon played the part of sound mind and your wife the sound body." "Why, I resent that innuendo!" " What's the scheme, Eddie?" " I don't think they got to the will." " But how do you know?" " Because they were still looking for it after they killed him." " Anything I can do?" " Maybe you can go downtown and check the probate." "Yeah, check the probate!" "Why, my Uncle Thumper had a problem with his probate... and he had to take these big pills and drink lots of water." " Not prostate, you idiot." "Probate!" " Let me get this straight." "You think that my boss, R.K. Maroon... dropped a safe on Marvin Acme's head... so that he could get his hands on Toontown?" "Yeah." "That's my hunch." "Uh..." "Can he stay here for a couple of days?" "He's not gonna do anything crazy, is he?" " Where are you going?" " Back to the office." "Mr Valiant." "Mr Valiant?" "You've got the wrong idea about me, Mr Valiant." "I'm a pawn in this, just like Roger." "Can you help me find him?" "Just name your price and I'll pay it." "Yeah, I bet you would." "You've gotta have the rabbit to make the scam work." "No, no, no." "I love my husband." "You've got me all wrong." "You don't know how hard it is being a woman..." "looking the way I do." "Yeah, well... you don't know how hard it is being a man..." "looking at a woman, looking the way you do." "I'm not bad." "I'm just drawn that way." "Weren't you the one I caught playing patty-cake with old man Acme?" "You didn't catch me, Mr Valiant." "You were set up to take those pictures." " What are you talking about?" " Maroon wanted to blackmail Acme." "I didn't want to have anything to do with it, but he said if I didn't pose for those patty-cake pictures..." "Roger would never work in this town again." "I couldn't let that happen." "I'd do anything for my husband, Mr Valiant." " Anything." " What a wife." "I'm desperate, Mr Valiant." "Can't you see how much I need you?" "Dabblin' in watercolours, Eddie?" "Sorry." "Goodbye, Eddie." "My offer stands firm." "Think about it." "Well!" "Do you want to tell me what she was doing with her arms around you?" "Probably lookin' for a good place to stick a knife." "Come on, Eddie." "I caught you with your pants down!" "Yeah, but I di..." "Dolores, come..." "Come on, Dolores." "You don't believe a painted hussy like that could turn my head." "She's just trying to get her hands on the rabbit." "That's not all she's trying to get her hands on." "Now, look, Dolores, listen." "Listen to me." "Look, I want you to go out, I want you to buy yourself a new swim suit... 'cause you and me are going to Catalina." " I'm on the verge of wrapping' up this case." " No, you're not, Eddie." "That's what I came to tell you." "I stopped by Probate." "Maroon's not after Toontown like you thought." "It's Cloverleaf that wants to get their hands on Toontown." "They put in the highest bid." "And unless Mr Acme's will shows up by midnight tonight..." "Cloverleaf is gonna own Toontown." " What?" "At midnight tonight?" " That's right." "First they buy the Red Car, then they want to get their hands on Toontown." " I don't get it." " Shh." " Yes!" "Roger!" "The rabbit." "Get the judge." "A joke don't sit there on your brain Whoo-hoo-hoo!" "Nice shirt." "Who's your tailor, Quasimodo?" "Whoo-hoo!" "My buddy's Eddie V. A sourpuss, you'll see" "But when I'm done he'll need no gun 'cause a joker he will be" "C, D, E, F, G" "H, I..." "I would love to raise some Cain" "Believe me, it's no strain It feels so great 'cause I'm so tight" "And look there is no pain" "No pain..." "No pain..." "No pain..." "No pain..." "No pain... no..." " No!" " Hey, wait!" "Hey, who turned out the lights?" "I can't see a thing!" "What's goin' on?" "You crazy rabbit!" "I've been out there risking my neck for you, and what are you doin'?" "Singin' and dancin'!" "But I'm a Toon." "Toon's are supposed to make people laugh." " Sit down!" " You don't understand." "Those people needed to laugh." "Yeah, and when they're done laughing', they'll call the cops!" " That guy Angelo would rat on you for a nickel." " Not Angelo!" " He'd never turn me in." " Why?" "Because you made him laugh?" "That's right." "A laugh can be a very powerful thing." "Why, sometimes in life, it's the only weapon we have." " Laughter is the most im..." " Shh!" ""lx-nay." "lx-nay."" "I'm looking for a murderer." "A rabbit." "A Toon rabbit... about yea big." "Look... there's no rabbit here, so don't harass my customers." "I didn't come here to harass." "I came here to reward." "Hey." "I seen a rabbit." " Where?" " See?" " Where?" " He's right here in the bar." "Say "hello," Harvey." "I told you so." ""The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down."" "Quite a loony selection for a group of drunken reprobates." "He's here!" "Stop that laughing!" "Have you forgotten what happened last time?" "If you don't stop this laughing, you're gonna end up dead... just like your idiot hyena cousins!" "Say, boss, you want we should "disresemble" the place?" "No, Sergeant." "Disassembling the place won't be necessary." "The rabbit is going to come right to me." "No Toon can resist the old "Shave and a Haircut" trick." "I don't know who's toonier..." "you or Doom." "Roger!" "Ro..." "Roger." "Roger, no!" "Roger, don't..." "Shave and a haircut" "Two bits" "Hey, Judge, what should we do with the wallflower?" "We'll see to him later." "Right now I feel like dispensing some justice." "Bring me some dip." "Does the condemned have anything to say before his sentence is carried out?" "Why, yeah. I..." "Dolores, a bourbon, and make it a double." "A fine time for a drink, Eddie." "Maybe you'd like a bowl of pretzels to go with it!" "Pour the drink, Dolores." "Hey, Judge!" "Doesn't a dying rabbit deserve a last request?" "Yeah!" "Nose plugs would be nice." "I think you want a drink." " How 'bout it, Judge?" "Huh?" " Well, why not." "I don't mind prolonging the execution." " Happy trails." " No thanks, Eddie." "I'm tryin' to cut down." " Drink the drink!" " But I don't want the drink." " He doesn't want the drink." " He does!" " I don't!" " You do!" " I don't!" " You do!" " I don't!" " You do!" " I don't!" " You don't." " I do!" " You don't!" " I do!" " You don't!" "Listen, when I say "I do," that means I do!" "Gotcha, kid." "Come on, Eddie, let's get out of here!" "Move it, pops!" "Yikes!" "Move it, pops!" "Yikes!" "That was quick thinking', Eddie." "Nothing like using the old spine flower..." " the wise noodle, the smart pudding'..." " Roger!" " Yikes!" " Let's use this!" " Stop, will ya?" " Let's get out of here!" "What are you waitin' for?" " There's no damn key!" "Hey, you weasels, let me out of here, will ya?" "Come on!" " I've got to make a livin'!" " Benny, is that you?" "No, it's Eleanor Roosevelt." "Come on, Roger!" "Get me out of here!" "Eddie, we got ourselves a ride!" "Open the doors!" "Ah, that's better." "I can't believe they locked me up for driving on the sidewalk." "Come on, Eddie." "Get in!" " It was just a couple of miles." " I'll drive!" " But I wanna drive!" " No, I'll drive!" "I'm the cab." "Out of my way, pencil neck!" "How about this weather, huh?" " It never rains!" " Would you beat it!" "They've sprung the cab!" "Let's go!" "And how about those Brooklyn Dodgers?" "Are they bums, or what?" "Move over." "I'm drivin'!" "Benny, Eddie, we got company!" "Will you look at these two?" "Excuse me, ladies!" "Now that's what I call a couple of road hogs." " I'm gonna blow his head off." " Benny, look out for the Red Car!" "Benny, there's cops right behind us!" "Not for long, Roger." " No!" " Now they're right in front of us." "Eddie, we're goin' backwards." "Turn us around." "Give me the wheel." "Give me the wheel!" " The cops are still on our tail!" " I know the cops are on our tail!" "What do you think I am?" "Be..." "Benny!" "No." "No!" " Pull the lever!" " Which one?" " Which one?" "Which one?" "I'm gonna ram 'em." "What the heck?" "I'm gettin' too old for this!" " Jumpin' jeepers!" " Hey, Roger, what do you call the middle of a song?" "Gee, I don't know." "A bridge!" " Well, fellas, where can I drop ya?" " Yeah." "Somewhere we can hide." "I got just the place." "And incidentally... if you should ever need a ride, just stick out your thumb." "Hey, share the road, will ya, lady?" "Oh." "Well, that wasn't so bad, was it?" "Boy, did you see that?" "Nobody takes a wallop like Goofy." "What timing, what finesse!" "What a genius!" "Ouch!" " We're supposed to be hiding." "What's wrong with you?" " Ow!" "What's wrong with you?" "You're the only person in this theatre that isn't laughing." "Is there nothing that can permeate your impervious puss?" "Hey, Eddie!" "Boy, nothin'." "What could've possibly happened to you to turn you into such a sourpuss?" "You want to know?" "I'll tell you." " A Toon killed my brother." " A Toon?" "No." "That's right." "A Toon." "We were investigating a robbery at the First National Bank of Toontown." "Back in those days, me and Teddy liked working Toontown." "We thought it was a lot of laughs." "Huh." "Anyway, this guy... got away with a zillion simoleons." "Huh." "We trailed him to a little dive down on Yockster Street." "We went in." "Only he got the drop on us, literally." "Dropped a piano on us from 15 stories." "Broke my arm." "Teddy never made it." "I never did find out who that guy was." "All I remember was... he was standin' over me, laughing'... with those burning' red eyes... and that high, squeaky voice." "He disappeared into Toontown after that." "No wonder you hate me." "If a Toon killed my brother, I'd hate me too!" "Come on, don't cry." "I don't hate you." " Yes, you do." " No, I don't." "You do hate me." "Otherwise you wouldn't have yanked my ears all those times." "Well, I'm..." "I'm..." "I'm sorry I yanked your ears." "All the times you yanked my ears?" " All the times I yanked your ears." " Apology accepted." "Put 'er there, pal." "I feel better." "Oh, boy!" "I hope it's another cartoon!" "Jeepers, another stupid newsreel." "I hate the news." " Did you get all my stuff?" " Yes." "It's all packed up in the car outside." "Would have been here right after you called, but I had to shake the weasels." "Yeah." "I'm sorry about the trouble in the bar." "Oh, hell." "Stuffing olives for a living wasn't for me anyway." "Dolores?" "You oughta find yourself a good man." "But I already have a good man." "P-P-P-P-Please, don't mind me." "You better get going, Eddie." "You better get going, Eddie." "A near miss, but this miss says that's as good as a smile." " California Cloverleaf..." " Glad Teddy's not here to see me running away..." " with my tail between my legs." " It's not so bad, once you get used to it." "The Pacific Red Car trolley line and the venerated Maroon Cartoon Studios." "Here, R.K. Maroon is seen clinching the deal... with Cloverleaf's bankers and execs... in one of the biggest real estate deals ever in California history." " That's it!" " Three-and-a-half million dollars..." "That's the connection!" "Let's forget it." "There's nobody here." " Is that it, or are you scared?" " P-P-P-P-Please!" "Me, scared?" "Don't be ridiculous." "When you called Maroon, you told him you had the will, but you don't." "When he finds out, he's gonna be mad." "He might try to kill ya." "I can handle a Hollywood cream puff." "I just don't want the odds to change." "Now, you cover my back." "And if you hear or see anything, beep the horn twice." "Yeah, that's it." "Beep the horn twice." "Cover your back." "Boy, I'm ready." "Dukes up, eyes peeled, ears to the ground." "Why, nobody gets the drop on Roger Rabbit." " What's up, Doc?" " Valiant, what are you trying to do, give me a heart attack?" "You need a heart before you can have an attack." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "You got the will?" "Sure." "I got the will." "The question is, do you have the way?" "'Cause I can tell you now it ain't gonna come cheap." "You got a lot of brass coming up here by yourself." "Who said I'm here by myself?" "Let me see that will." " I told you, I got it." " I want to see it now!" ""How do I love thee?" "Let me count the ways"?" " This supposed to be a joke?" " No, this is." "Get up!" "Come on." "What are you gonna do to me, Valiant?" "I'm gonna listen to you spin the Cloverleaf scenario." "A story of greed, sex and murder." "And the parts that I don't like, I'm gonna edit out." "You got it all wrong!" "I'm a cartoon maker, not a murderer!" "Everybody's got to have a hobby." "Stop it." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "The truth is, I had a chance to sell my studio... but Cloverleaf wouldn't buy my property unless Acme sold them his." "The stubborn bastard wouldn't sell, so I was gonna blackmail Acme with pictures of him and the rabbit's wife." "Blackmail, that's all!" "I've been around Toons all my life!" " I didn't want to see 'em destroyed!" " Toons destroyed?" "Why?" " lf I tell ya, I'm a dead man." " You're a dead man if you don't tell me." "Unless Acme's will shows by midnight tonight..." "Toontown's going to be live for the free..." "Roger!" " Wha..." "What the..." " Yeah, what in Sam Hill..." "Eddie Valiant!" "Well, you're a sight for sore eyes!" "I ain't seen you in nigh on to five years." " Where've you been?" " Drunk." " You feeling frisky tonight, fellas?" " Yeah!" " Let's go." " Ya-hoo!" "Smile, darn ya, smile" "You know, this old world is a great world after all" "Smile, darn ya, smile" "And right away watch lady luck pay you a call" "Things are never black as they are painted" " Time for you and joy to get acquainted" " Hi, Eddie!" "Hi, Eddie!" "Hi, Eddie!" "Bye, Eddie!" "Tallyho!" "Tallyho!" "Ha-ha!" "Get out of here!" "Going up, sir." "Mind the step, sir." "Hold on, sir." "Your floor, sir." "Have a good day, sir." "Ah, gotcha." "A man!" "Yoo-hoo, lover boy!" "It's Lena Hyena!" "Oh, no!" " Oh, "wook," piggies." " Hi, Tweety." "This "wittle" piggy went to market." "This "wittle" piggy stayed home." " No." " This "wittle" piggy had roast beef." "And this "wittle" piggy had..." "Uh-oh." "Ran out of piggies." "Eh, what's up, Doc?" "Jumpin' without a parachute?" "Kinda dangerous, ain't it?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "You could get killed." " You guys got a spare?" " Uh, Bugs does." " Yeah?" " Yeah, but I don't think you want it." " I do!" "I do!" "Give it to me!" " Gee, uh, huh, better let him have it, Bugs." "Okay, Doc." "Whatever you say." "Here's the spare." "Thank you." "Ah, no!" " Ah, poor fella." " Yeah." "Ain't I a stinker?" "My man!" "Come to Leena!" "Toons." "Gets 'em every time." " Gesundheit." " Thank you." "Valiant?" "I always knew I'd get it in Toontown." "Behind you!" " Drop it, lady!" " I just saved your life, and you still don't trust me?" " I don't trust anybody or anything!" " Not even your own eyes?" "That's the gun that killed R.K. Maroon, and Doom pulled the trigger." " Doom?" " I followed him to the studio, but I was too late to stop him." "That's right!" "You'll never stop me!" " You're dead!" "You're both dead!" " Doom!" " Which way'd he go?" " Well, I don't know." " Well, he went that-a-way." " Let's go!" " Dum-dums." " Come on." " Yeah." " Oh, no." "Where's Roger?" " Roger?" " He chickened out on me back at the studio." " No, he didn't." "I hit him on the head with a frying pan and put him in the trunk so he wouldn't get hurt." " Makes perfect sense." " We're obviously not going anywhere in my car." "Let's take yours." "I got a feeling somebody already did." "Hmm?" "From the looks of it, I'd say it was Roger." "My honey bunny was never very good behind the wheel." " A better lover than a driver, huh?" " You'd better believe it, buster." "Uh-oh, it's the weasels." "This way!" " We'll take Gingerbread Lane." " No, wait!" "No, no!" "Gingerbread Lane's this way." "So, Valiant, you call a cab, or what?" "Hubba-hubba-hubba." "Allow me, mademoiselle." "So how long have you known it was Doom?" "Before poor Marvin Acme was killed, he confided in me... that Doom wanted to get his hands on Toontown, and he wouldn't stop at anything." " So he gave you the will for safekeeping." " That's what he told me." "Except when I opened the envelope, there was only a blank piece of paper inside." " Eh." "A joker to the end." " So where to, already?" " My metre's runnin'!" " I have to find my darling husband." " I'm so worried about him." " Seriously, what do you see in that guy?" "He makes me laugh." "I've been dipped!" "What an unfortunate accident." "Nothing more treacherous than a slippery road... especially when driving in a maniacal Toon vehicle." " Good work, boss." " Don't just stand there." "Help them." "Put them in my car." "And I think they'll enjoy attending the ribbon cutting at the Acme Factory." "Come on, you mugs." "We searched Valiant, boss." "The will ain't on him." " Then frisk the woman!" " I'll handle this one." "Nice booby trap." " Do they have the will, or not?" " Nah, just a stupid love letter." " No matter." "I doubt if that will is gonna show up in the next 15 minutes anyway." " What happens in the next 15 minutes?" " Toontown will be legally mine." "Lock, stock and barrel." "Benny, is that you?" "No, it's Shirley Temple!" "Ah!" "Oh!" "Ee!" "Jumpin' jeepers!" "What happened?" "Doom grabbed your wife and Valiant and took 'em to the Acme Factory." "The Acme Factory?" "I know where that is." "Get in!" "Move over, Rog." "You've done enough driving for one night." "Uh, Toontown right on the other side of the wall, boss." "You see, Mr Valiant, the successful conclusion of this case... draws the curtains on my career as a jurist in Toontown." "I'm retiring to take a new role in the private sector." " That wouldn't be Cloverleaf Industries by any chance, huh?" " Eh-eh." "You're looking at the sole stockholder." "Benny, you go for the cops." "I'm gonna save my wife." "Be careful with that gun." "This ain't no cartoon, you know." "This is no way to make a livin'." "Wouldn't you know." "Locked." "Can you guess what this is?" "Oh, my God!" "It's dip!" "That's right, my dear." "Enough to dip Toontown off the face of the Earth!" "A vehicle of my own design." "Five thousand gallons of heated dip... pumped at enormous velocity through a pressurized water cannon." "Toontown will be erased in a matter of minutes." "I suppose you think no one's going to notice Toontown's disappeared." "Who's got time to wonder what happened to some ridiculous talking mice... when you're driving by at 75 miles an hour?" "What are you talking about?" "There's no road past Toontown." "Not yet!" "Several months ago..." "I had the good providence to stumble upon this plan of the city council's." "A construction plan of epic proportions." "They're calling it a freeway." "Freeway?" "What the hell's a freeway?" "Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena." "Smooth, safe, fast." "Traffic jams will be a thing of the past." "So that's why you killed Acme and Maroon?" "For this freeway?" " I don't get it." " Of course not." "You lack vision." "I see a place where people get on and off the freeway." "On and off, off and on, all day and all night!" "Soon where Toontown once stood will be a string of gas stations... inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food... tyre salons, automobile dealerships... and wonderful, wonderful billboards... reaching as far as the eye can see!" " My God, it'll be beautiful." " Come on!" "Nobody's gonna drive this lousy freeway when they can take the Red Car for a nickel." "Oh, they'll drive." "They'll have to." "You see, I bought the Red Car so I could dismantle it." "What the..." "Okay, nobody move!" "All right, weasels, grab some sky or I'll let the judge have it!" " You heard me." "I said, drop it." " Roger, darling!" "Yes, it's me, my dearest." "I'd love to embrace you... but first I have to satisfy my sense of moral outrage!" "Put the gun down, you bucktoothed fool!" "That's it, Doom!" "Give me another excuse to pump you full of lead!" "You thought you could get away with it, didn't ya?" "Ha!" "We Toons may act idiotic, but we're not stupid!" "We demand justice, but the real meaning of the word... probably hits you like a ton of bricks!" "Roger!" " Roger, say something!" " Look, stars!" "Ready when you are, Raoul." "Tie the lovebirds together." "Come on, lovebirds." "What you want?" "Put them up on that hook." "Use that escape-proof Toon rope." "Time to kill the rabbit." "Oh, Roger, you were magnificent." " Was I really?" " Better than Goofy." "Roger, darling, I want you to know I love you." "I've loved you more than any woman's ever loved a rabbit." "It's over, Mr Valiant." " Look out, you fools!" " Not so fast." "One of these days, you idiots are gonna laugh yourselves to death!" "Shall I "repose" of him right now, boss?" "Let him watch his Toon friends get dipped, then shoot him." "With pleasure." "Everything's funny to you, ain't it, needle nose?" "You got a problem with that, Valiant?" "Nah." "I just, uh, want you to know something about the guy you're gonna dip!" "Now Roger is his name Laughter is his game" "Come on, you dope Untie his rope and watch him go insane" " He's lost his mind." " I don't think so." "This singing ain't my line It's tough to make a rhyme" "If I get stuck I'm..." "I'm out of luck I'm, uh... uh..." " I'm running out of time!" " Thanks!" "Hey, Eddie, keep it up!" "You're killin' 'em!" "You're slayin' 'em!" "You're knockin' 'em dead!" "I'm through with taking falls I'm bouncing off the walls" "Without that gun I'd have some fun I'd kick you in the..." " Nose!" " Nose?" "That don't rhyme with "walls"!" "No, but this does!" "Oh, my goodness!" "Jeepers, that was close!" "Bye-bye!" "Eddie, hurry!" "It's coming back!" " Oh, no!" " This is it!" "This isn't it!" "Wicked witchcraft" "And although I know" "It's strictly taboo" "When..." "Don't move." "No." "No!" "Oh, no!" "Come on, Eddie!" "Quit playing around!" " P-P-P-P-Please!" " Help!" "I wasn't worried." "Were you?" " Hey, look!" " Hey, look!" "Holy smoke!" "He's a Toon!" " Surprised?" " Not really." "That lamebrain freeway idea could only be cooked up by a Toon." "Not just any Toon!" "Remember me, Eddie?" "When I killed your brother, I talked... just like this!" "Jumpin' jeepers." "Oh, my goodness!" "Oh, no!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Goodbye, my darling." "Goodbye!" "Oh!" "I think I'm gonna faint." "Oh, no!" "I'm melting!" "I'm melting!" "Melting!" "Eddie!" "Do something!" "Hurry up, Eddie!" "Do something!" "Eddie, there's dip everywhere!" "How are we gonna get down?" "Jeepers, Eddie, that was a close shave." "I thought for sure our goose was cooked!" "Oh." "My hero." " Oh, honey bunny." " Oh, love cup." "Oh, Roger, you were a pillar of strength." "Sister Mary Francis!" "What the hell happened in here?" "I've been a cab for 37 years... and I've never seen a mess like this!" " What was that, a rubber mask?" " Yeah." "And this is the rope from the safe that was dropped on Acme." "I think your lab boys will find that paint's a perfect match." " Judge Doom killed Marvin Acme." " And R.K. Maroon." "And my brother." " That's what I call one seriously disturbed Toon." " What's happening?" "So, uh, I wonder who he really was." "I'll tell you one thing, Doc." "He weren't no rabbit." " Or a duck." " Or a dog." " Or a little wooden boy." " Or a sheep." " Or a woodpecker." " Or a pussy." " What's that?" "What is that?" " It's ink." "That goof Acme squirted me with some the other night." " Why it's coming out now, I don't know." " Here's your answer, Eddie." "Acme Disappearing Reappearing Ink." " Boy, that Acme." "What a genius!" " Applesauce!" "If he was such a genius, why didn't he leave his will where we could find it?" "Without it, we're just waitin' for another developer's wrecking ball!" " Roger." " Yeah?" " That love letter you wrote to your wife... in the Ink and Paint Club..." "why don't you read it to her now?" "Sure, Eddie." ""Dear Jessica, how do I love thee?" "Let me count the ways." "I, Marvin Acme, of sound mind and body..."" " It's the will!" " Give me!" ""Do hereby bequeath in perpetuity... the property known as Toontown... to those lovable characters, the Toons!"" "Hey, Eddie, that was a pretty funny dance you did for the weasels." "Do you think your days of being a sourpuss are over?" " Only time will tell." " Yeah." "Well, put it there, pal." "Yeah." "Don't tell me you lost your sense of humour already?" "Does this answer your question?" "Come on, Roger, let's go home." "I'll bake you a carrot cake." "Smile, darn ya, smile" "You know, this old world is a great world after all" "Smile, darn ya, smile" "And right away watch lady luck pay you a call" "Things are never quite as they are painted" "Time for you and joy to get acquainted" "Okay, ev... m-m-move along." "There's nothing else to see." "That's all folks." "Hmm." "I like the, uh, sound of that." "That's all, folks!"
