Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit/Transcript

[Grand music plays out as the 2004 DreamWorks Animation logo appears. Fade to black, then fade open to the Aardman logo. Fade to black. We then open with a picture of a young Wallace showing a bone-shaped birthday cake to a puppy Gromit. Opening credits start rolling. The iconic Wallace and Gromit theme plays as the camera pans around the house. The next picture shows Gromit graduating from Dogwarts University. The third picture has the duo as they are now. Next portrait has Wallace spot something. The following portrait has a dismayed Gromit by himself. A picture above him has Wallace marveling over a piece of cheese. Another picture sees Gromit climbing up a ladder, which leads to another with Wallace holding onto his cheese as Gromit tries to stop him. The picture to the right has Wallace stuff the cheese in his mouth, much to Gromit's chagrin. Two pictures appear, showing Wallace and Gromit having split up, glaring at each other. Another two has them waving at each other. This leads back to a new picture with the two together. The jolly music suddenly stops. A shadow passes by as the music turns sinister as the camera pans up to the window. As it goes through, menacing music blares as the movie's title card appears, turning rabbit-like as we hear a howl. Then, a shoe steps on a puddle. An officer is walking on the streets whistling until he hears something shatter. He pauses, listens and shrugs before he continued on. A shadow is cast on a building with a sign that says, "Grow Bigger Veg". A creature from its point of view looked in the bushes. Macintosh stopped whistling while leaving. Lip licking and smacking can be heard as it moves out of the bushes, turns left of a Harvey’s store, and goes to the gate of someone’s garden that has a sign that says, "Protected by Anti-Pesto". The latch of the gate opened up as the creature goes into the garden. A few moments after the creature passes by it, the gnome turns its head to the camera and its eyes start blinking red. The camera fades to a portrait of Mrs. Mulch, whose eyes are blinking. The camera zooms out on Wallace’s wall who has portraits of citizens of West Wallaby Street. The camera pans to a kettle boiling with steam shooting out, spinning a wheel, making a mechanical arm push up Gromit’s bed multiple times. Cuts to Wallace in his bed. A mechanical hand holding a plate of cheese comes out of his cheese portrait. Wallace smells it and goes for the cheese. He hits his head on the picture when the mechanical hand goes back in with the cheese. The bone in Gromit’s bone portrait blinks red and flips to blinking red text that says, "ACTIVATE LAUNCH". Gromit and Wallace get pushed onto metal slides by their beds. They are held still by metal racks at the end of the slide for their caps to get twisted on. The slides tilt the other direction for them to slide down into their boots. Their tea is poured for them. They grab their mugs of tea. The metal platform that they are on turns around to two mechanical hands who shoot them off like a catapult. Wallace falls into his Anti-Pesto uniform. Wallace and Gromit slide down. They clink their mugs, causing their tea to fly out. They catch it with their mugs. They drink their tea as they are sent up into their seats in their Anti-Pesto van. They place their mugs on silver platters. The van’s headlights turn on. Wallace presses a button that says "AUTOSTART". A mechanical hand comes out with a winder and starts winding up the engine. Wallace adjusts the rearview mirror as the garage door goes up. Wallace presses the gas pedal, sending the van driving over the road after being flipped from a lake. The gate goes open for it to go through. Gromit holds up a little grabber and Wallace shakes his head. Gromit holds up a big grabber and Wallace gives him a thumbs up and nods his head. Wallace pulls the brake switch. The van stops and Wallace and Gromit roll out through the door. They slam up against the gate of the garden where the creature went through. Wallace pops a hole through the gate for him to look through. The creature pops up and growls at him. Wallace hides from it. He signals Gromit. Gromit holds up a bag. Wallace holds up a hammer. Gromit nods his head. Wallace throws the hammer at a nail on the gate and turns it. Gromit flips over the fence into the garden and catches the creature.]
WALLACE: (kicks the gate open with his big grabber; to Gromit) Oh ho-ho! Cracking job, Gromit! (Gromit slides around with the creature in the bag.) Hang on, old chum.
MR. DIBBER: (peeks head through window.) What’s going on?
MRS. GIRDLING: (peeks head through window.) Who is it?
WALLACE: (as Gromit slides through the garden; to Gromit) Reel him in, lad! To me. To me. (Catches the bag with grabber.) Gotcha! Thieving monster.
[Gromit pulls the bag off, revealing a rabbit with a big pumpkin. A door opens. They see Mrs. and Mr. Mulch.]
MRS. MULCH: (joyfully) Ooh! Me prize pumpkin. Me little baby. Me pride and joy. (grateful; to Wallace and Gromit) You’ve saved it, Anti-Pesto.
[The rabbit sniffs as it turns its head left.]
WALLACE: (offscreen; to Mrs. Mulch) It was nothing at all, Mrs.- (the rabbit leaps at the pumpkin; cuts to him.) Ohhhh!
MRS. MULCH: (scared) Ahh! (grabs her pumpkin.) Oh no!
WALLACE: (pulls the rabbit back; to Mrs. Mulch) Everything’s under control!
MRS. MULCH: (holds onto her pumpkin) Oh! Ah!
WALLACE: (pulls the rabbit back; to Mrs. Mulch) Don’t worry, madam.
[Mrs. Mulch hits Mr. Mulch in the gut, sending his teeth flying into the rabbit’s mouth, causing it to fall over.]
MRS. MULCH: (gratefully; to Wallace) Thank you, Mr. Wallace.
WALLACE: (picks up the rabbit with his grabber by the neck; to Mrs. Mulch) All in a night’s work, Mrs. Mulch. Ha!
[Gromit stretches his cap.]
MR. MULCH: (marvels at the rabbit) Ah. Cute little feller, isn’t he? You’d never believe they’d cause so much damage.
WALLACE: (as he carries the rabbit away; to Mr. Mulch) Oh, he may look innocent, sir. But left to his own devices, this is the ultimate vegetable-destroying machine.
[The rabbit waves and grins, showing he has Mrs. Mulch's dentures.] 
MRS. MULCH: (offscreen; to her husband) Oh! Reg, me teeth!
[Wallace and Gromit get in their van.]
WALLACE: (pets Gromit; to Gromit) Job well done, lad. (shuts the door.) Subject disarmed and neutralized.
[Gromit drives him and Wallace away. Neighbors applaud]
REVEREND HEDGES: (gratefully; to Wallace and Gromit) Bless you, Anti-Pesto! With you out there, protecting our veg, (offscreen) the most important event of the year is safe. (the camera panned up to a banner that says "Tottington Hall Giant Vegetable Competition 4 Days to Go!")
MRS. MULCH: (offscreen; to Hedges) Aye. (cut to her walking to Reverend Hedges.) And I hope they give them pests what’s coming to ‘em, and all.
REVEREND HEDGES: (agreeing; to Mrs. Mulch) Amen to that, Mrs. Mulch.
MRS. MULCH: (nods) Mmph!
[Cut to a panning shot over some knives including a cleaver. Gromit chooses a butcher's knife, sharpens it, and raises it... to chop a carrot. He puts the carrot slices on a plate. He dumps the carrot slices into the rabbit pens. In one of the pens a rabbit and a bunch of other rabbits come to the bowl to eat the carrot slices. Cut to Gromit. He takes the lid off of a teapot and a rabbit pops out,]
RABBIT: (hops out over Gromit) Whee!
[Gromit sees rattling in the bunbox. He opens it and sees three rabbits eating three buns. They throw the buns at Gromit.]
RABBITS: (hop into the fridge) Whee!
[Gromit grabs a wooden spoon and walks to the fridge. He opens it and his eyes widen when he sees the fridge, and a bowl inside it, empty. The rabbits are in the fridge door. Gromit slowly turns around and the rabbits jump at him and attack him.]
RABBITS: (laughing)
[Gromit picks up the rabbits in both hands. One of the rabbits in his right hand hit him with the wooden spoon. The rabbits laugh. The rabbit that hit Gromit blows a raspberry at him. Gromit throws the rabbits in the pens.]
RABBITS: (as they get thrown in) Whoa! Whee!
[Gromit puts his hands on his waist. Gromit’s callbox beeps. It beeps for BREAKFAST. Cuts to Wallace pressing his service box.]
WALLACE: (while pressing the button; to Gromit) It was a long, hard night last night, Gromit. I need a good hearty breakfast under me belt.
[Gromit rolls in a tray with a newspaper, tea, and a dish, and walks to the switch and pulls it.]
WALLACE: (offscreen; to Gromit) Pile it up, lad. (cuts to him; slides out of his bed) I’m in the mood for fooooooooooooooood! (gets stuck through the hole, stammering) Gromit, old pal. (cuts to Gromit) Happened again. I’ll need assistance.
[Gromit pushes his cart to the assistance switch. He pulls it, making a big hammer appear.]
WALLACE: (gets smashed) Ow! (falls into his chair) Oof! (He has his shoes, trousers, sleeves, and shirt put on for him.) Uhh! Oh, well, thanks, chuck. I’m sure that hole’s getting smaller. (Gromit gives him the newspaper) Ha! Another successful night. Hmm, how are the inmates? Must be getting a bit full down there. (stomach grumbles) Talking of which. Now, for a great, big plate of… (Gromit lifts the lid off the dish revealing a cabbage leaf, two celery sticks, two slices of cucumber, and a carrot) vegetables. (Gromit nods his head; laughs) Ah, (pats Gromit’s head) still got me on the diet, eh, Gromit? Watching me shape? (laughs) There’s a good dog.
[Wallace moves one of the celery sticks and stops.]
WALLACE: (gets an idea; to Gromit) Oh, ooh, uh, Gromit, lad? How is that prize marrow (melon) of yours coming on? Must be a while since you measured it.
[Wallace puts the celery stick to his mouth again and moves it away. Cuts to Gromit pressing 8-4-2-5 to open his greenhouse. He moves his cart to the right of his marrow. He pulls the blanket off of the marrow and feels it. Cuts to Wallace walking to the window where he can see the greenhouse.]
WALLACE: (pretends to like it; to Gromit) Mmm! (points to vegetables) Lovely food! (to himself) For rabbits, that is.
[Gromit measures the marrow with the tape measurer. It measured to 37. Cuts to Wallace pushing his vegetables into some rabbit pens with a knife.]
WALLACE: (sneakily; to himself) As for me, I need something a bit more cheesy.
[He moves his finger over some books with cheese-pun titles.]
WALLACE: (spots one) Aha… (pushes the "Grated Expectations" book back)
[Gromit is watering his marrow. Cut to the books lifting up, revealing a cheese tray.]
WALLACE: (sneakily) Hee, hee, hee! Ooh.
[He looks around and opens the cheese tray and moves his hand towards it. Cuts to Gromit about to cut off a leaf on his marrow. A snap is heard.]
WALLACE: (offscreen) Ohh!
[Gromit snips the leaf off. Cut to Gromit getting a mouse trap off of Wallace’s hand.]
WALLACE: (sheepishly; to Gromit) Oh ho ho, oh, uh, caught red-handed, eh, lad? …(sighs; Gromit rolls his eyes) I’m sorry, Gromit. I know you’re doing this for my own good, but, the fact is, I’m just crackers about cheese. Look, if I must change me ways, at least let me do it my way. (pushes a pepper shaker down) With technology. (pushes a button) It’s time we tried my latest invention. The Mind Manipulation-omatic.
[The Mind Manipulation-omatic goes down onto Wallace’s head. Wallace presses a button, and it snaps on his head.]
WALLACE: (as it snaps on; to Gromit) Ah! It extracts unwanted thoughts and desires. I haven’t tested it yet, but it should be perfectly safe. Just a bit of harmless brain alteration, that’s all.
(Wallace pulls a switch but is interrupted by the telephone.)
WALLACE: (notices) Uh! Oh. (picks up the phone while Gromit wipes his forehead) Anti-Pesto Humane Pest Control. How might we be of assistance?
LADY TOTTINGTON: (on phone) Ah, yes. Lady Tottington here, of Tottington Hall.
WALLACE: (over phone) Your Ladyship! (cuts to him) This is an honor. (hits his hand on the Mind Manipulation-omatic) Ow!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (on phone) It’s a disaster! I have the most terrible rabbit problem. (cuts to Wallace; over phone) The competition’s only days away. You simply have to do something.
WALLACE: (over phone) Certainly ma’am. (to Gromit) I think we’re about to go up in the world, lad. (to Lady Tottington) Just stay right where you are, your Ladyship, and we’ll be with you in an- (presses button and goes up) Aaahhhhhhhhhh! (hits the ceiling)
LADY TOTTINGTON: (on phone) In an hour? I can’t wait an hour. I’ve got a major infestation. Hello? Hello? Hmm. (doorbell rings) Ah, that’s more like it. (walks to the door and opens it) Thank goodness you’ve-oh.
VICTOR: (holding bouquet of roses; to Lady Tottington) What-ho! (laughs) For you, my love.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (takes roses; to Victor) Victor, how lovely, and… unexpected.
VICTOR: (proudly; to Lady Tottington) Heard you had a spot of rabbit bother and toodled straight on over to sort the little blighters out.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (unsure; to Victor) Gosh, that’s awfully sweet of you. But you really needn’t bother.
VICTOR: (proudly; to Lady Tottington) It’s no bother, little boo-boo. Why it’s the least a chap could do for his filly. Don’t want pests spoiling our beautiful manor house, do we?
LADY TOTTINGTON: (confused; to Victor) "Our" manor house? No one’s mentioned marriage, Victor.
VICTOR: (chuckles; to Lady Tottington) All in good time, my dear. (pulls out gun) Vermin first though, what what. Come on, Philip.
PHILIP: (sticks head up) Hmph! (follows Victor)
LADY TOTTINGTON: (concerned; to Victor) Victor? (follows after them) We can deal with this humanely.
[Cut to the Anti-Pesto van driving to Tottington Hall.]
WALLACE: (marvels at Tottington Hall) Oh-ho! Very classy. Just the sort of client we should be dealing with, eh, lad?
[The van stops at Tottington Hall. Gromit gets out and throws the grabber at Wallace. Wallace goes to a rabbit, opening his grabber. Wallace looks up.]
WALLACE: (shocked) Oh. (camera zooms out revealing loads of rabbits) Burrowing bounders! They must be breeding like… well, rabbits. Only one thing for it, lad.
[Gromit presses a button with a label that says "BV6000" next to it. A giant tank comes out from behind the van. We then cut to Lady Tottington trying to reason with Victor.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (tries to reason; to Victor) Victor, hadn’t we agreed? No more thoughtless killing.
VICTOR: (smiles; to Lady Tottington) Quite right, my dear. So, I’ve thought this one through very carefully. (points gun at rabbit; to the rabbit) It’s off to bunny heaven for you, big ears!
RABBIT: (holds hands up) Ah!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (scared; to Victor) Victor! No! (covers her eyes)
[The rabbit covers its eyes. It gets sucked into a hole before Victor shoots.]
VICTOR: (shocked) What the?
[Tottington uncovers her eyes. Cut to the rabbit zooming through the burrow, it opens its eyes as it approaches a heavenly light. It goes in and floats. It then notices some rabbits floating around. One of them waves to him and he waves back. Zoom back to reveal he's in a tank which has lots of rabbits behind the Anti-Pesto van.]
WALLACE: (proudly; to Gromit) Champion sucker, eh, Gromit? (Gromit gives Wallace a thumbs-up gesture) The Bun-Vac 6000. (holds onto a pipe where the rabbits are getting sucked up)
[Cut to a shot of some rabbits getting sucked down into holes. Cut to Wallace.]
WALLACE: (proudly) This’ll impress her Ladyship.
VICTOR: (pointing his gun down into the hole) I don’t understand. It should’ve been a bullseye.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (disappointed; to Victor) Oh, Victor. I felt we made a real breakthrough with this hunting obsession of yours. I really thought you changed.
VICTOR: (retorts; to Lady Tottington) I’m sorry, Campanula, but I am what I am. There’s no nonsense with Victor Quartermaine. What you see is what you get. (gets his toupee flies off)
LADY TOTTINGTON: (shocked) Ahh!
VICTOR: (shocked) What the?!
[Victor’s toupee gets sucked down into a hole. Victor turns to Lady Tottington smiling and then reaches to the hole to get his toupee back but gets sucked down. The nozzle of the Bun-Vac 6000 starts rattling.]
WALLACE: (notices the rattling; to Gromit) Sounds like a really big brute, this one.
[Gromit sees Victor’s toupee in the tank.]
WALLACE: (offscreen; to Gromit) Give it some more welly.
[Gromit pulls a switch that sucks Victor down. Philip chases after Victor, barking.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (shocked) Gosh!
[Victor keeps getting dragged underground as he hits a ple followed by Phillip as he chases him. Gromit turns around to see them. Victor keeps going through the burrow and into the nozzle of the Bun-Vac 6000.]
WALLACE: (startled) Oh! Maybe I should’ve used a bigger nozzle.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (offscreen) Ah! (cut to her) Anti-Pesto, you’re here.
WALLACE: (removes his cap; to Lady Tottington) Your Ladyship.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to the rabbits) My darlings!
[Wallace, thinking she wants to kiss him, puckers his lips, but Lady Tottington goes to the Bun-Vac 6000.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (relieved; to the rabbits) You’re safe.
WALLACE: (realizes) Oh. (chuckles)
LADY TOTTINGTON: (gratefully; to Wallace) My word! What a fabulous job you’ve done. And not a single one harmed.
WALLACE: (laughs; to Lady Tottington) The old BV6000, ma’am. (stammering) Capable of 125 RPM. That’s rabbits per minute.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (amazed; to Wallace) How inspired! Mr.?
WALLACE: (smiles; to Lady Tottington) Oh, uh, Wallace.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) Mr. Wallace. Is this all of them?
WALLACE: (refers to Victor stuck in the nozzle; to Lady Tottington) Oh. Just one left. (to Gromit) Hoist her up, Gromit.
[Philip sniffs at the nozzle. Gromit pulls a switch, sending Victor up with his head in the nozzle.]
WALLACE: (shocked) Ah! (moves his finger over his neck to Gromit)
[Gromit presses a red button that turns off the vacuum and Victor falls down into the dirt. Philip licks him clean.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (offscreen; to Victor) Victor, stop fooling around in the dirt and have a look at this. (onscreen) The ingenious Anti-Pesto have completely dealt with my rabbit problem! Isn’t it marvelous?
VICTOR: (angrily) Marvelous? (pushes his nose on Wallace’s nose) Marvelous?! This confounded contraption virtually suffocated me! Besides the job’s only half done! How do you intend to finish these vermin off. Crush ‘em? (kicks the tank) Liquidize ‘em?
LADY TOTTINGTON: (corrects Victor; to Victor) They’re humane.
VICTOR: (angrily; to Lady Tottington) Humane? Well, then perhaps they’d be humane enough to (pushes his nose on Wallace’s nose) give me back my dignity. I want… (turns to Lady Tottington then Wallace) toupee, please.
WALLACE: (oblivious; to Victor) Oh, grand. We take check or cash.
VICTOR: (corrects Wallace; to Wallace) Toupee, you idiot! My hair is in your machine!
WALLACE: (oblivious; to Victor) Oh no, it’s only rabbits in there. The hare I think you’ll find is a much larger mammal.
VICTOR: (growls and pushes Wallace away; to Wallace) Out of my way, fool. (reaches in for his toupee, comes out and puts it on his head; to Lady T) I’m sorry, my dear, but I refuse to suffer any further humiliation at these blundering nitwits. 
[It turns out he grabbed a black rabbit instead of his toupee. The other rabbits wave goodbye as Lady T began to giggle.]
WALLACE: (nervously; to Victor) Uh…
VICTOR: (upset; to Lady Tottington) I therefore bid you good day. (walks off)
[Philip growls holding Victor’s gun in his mouth and walks off with Victor.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (thankful; to Wallace) Thank you for ridding me of a real problem, Mr. Wallace. (Wallace gets in the van) But tell me, what exactly will you do with all these rabbits?
WALLACE: (nervously; to Lady Tottington) Oh, uh, trade secret. Heh, heh.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) Yes. I’d be happy to let them roam free if it wasn’t for the competition. But they do so love their veg. It’s in their little bunny natures and you can’t change that, can you? (laughs)
WALLACE: (smiles; to Lady Tottington) No. (laughs, then, gasps as the light on the van turns on; to Gromit) Or can you?
[Cuts to cellar doors opening, showing the full moon.]
WALLACE: (proudly; to Gromit) Why didn’t we think of it before, lad? The solution to all our storage problems. Simply by connecting the Bun-Vac to the Mind Manipulation-omatic, we can brainwash the bunnies. (laughs) Rabbit rehabilitation. Once cured of their anti-social veg-ravaging behavior, (presses a button) the rabbits can be safely released without fear of re-offending. (the Mind Manipulation-omatic snaps on his head; looks up to the moon) Just a little lunar power to enhance the mind waves…
[The lunar panels turn to the sides of Wallace and open up.]
WALLACE: (proudly; to Gromit) …and we can begin. (pulls a switch) Veg bad. Veg bad. Veg bad.
[Gromit facepalms.]
WALLACE: (hypnotizing the rabbits; to the rabbits) Say no to carrots, cabbage, and cauliflower. (to Gromit) Well, come on, lad, what are you waiting for? Turn on the BunVac. Full suction.
[Gromit pulls the switch to "SUCK" and turns the Bun-Vac 6000 on.]
WALLACE: (amazed; to Gromit) It’s working, Gromit! Ah! It’s working! Oh-hoo! Their tiny bunny brains are being saturated in my veg-free mind waves. (pulls out an "Ay-Up!" magazine) Another 30 minutes of brainwashing should suffice. And then we can move onto the conditioning.
[As he about to read, his leg kicks the switch to blow, the rabbits get sucked to the top much to Wallace's shock and surprise. One rabbit gets sucked up through the tube and into the Mind Manipulation-omatic with his head touching Wallace’s head.]''
WALLACE: (as he's being electrocuted; to Gromit) Ahh! Gromit! (breaks Mind Manipulation-omatic off and starts hopping around) Switch it off!
[Gromit switches the Bun-Vac 6000 off, sending the rabbits falling down.]
RABBITS: (as they fall) Whee!
WALLACE: (panicking; to Gromit) Get it off! Get it off me, lad! 
[Gromit grabs a monkey wrench and breaks the Mind Manipulation-omatic. The mind waves fly around Gromit.]
WALLACE: (with the rabbit on his head; to Gromit) Oh, thanks, lad. (He pulls the rabbit off his head.) Quick. Give us a carrot.
[Gromit gives Wallace a carrot and he gives it to the rabbit. The mammal sniffs it and turns away in disgust.]
WALLACE: (amazed; to Gromit) Oh! It worked, Gromit! A reformed rabbit! (puts the rabbit in a cage) We’ll call him Hutch, shall we? Come on. Let’s get the kettle on. We’ll see him in the morning.
[Gromit follows Wallace upstairs. Hutch starts twitching.]
WALLACE: (wearing bandages on his head; drawing pupil on white ball with marker; to Gromit) Oh-ho. I feel we’re on the cusp of a real breakthrough, lad. (puts eye near other eye on the wall) Mankind, freed from rabbit problems forever. (Gromit puts a teabag in the teapot. chuckles as he puts an eyeless portrait of Lady Tottington on the walls with the eyes through the eyeholes) Lady Tottington will be impressed.
[Cut to Gromit in the greenhouse holding onto his marrow as a track from The Plant Suite plays. He puts the blanket onto the marrow. He sets the blanket to "COSY". He marks off September 13 on his calendar. Gromit goes outside and presses the password to shut the greenhouse for the night. Mr. Caliche shuts his vegetables.]
MR. CALICHE: (to his vegetables) Good night.
MR. DIBBER: (presses orange button on turtle statue, turning the laser eyes on and shuts it; to his vegetables) Sleep tight.
MRS. MULCH: (holding onto her pumpkin; to her pumpkin) And don’t let the bedbugs bite. (presses red button on the gnome, turning its blinking eyes on and shuts it)
[Gromit opens the door and looks back at the greenhouse before going inside the house. He shuts the door behind him. The lights inside the house turn off.]
WALLACE: (offscreen; to Gromit) Good night, Gromit. Sweet dreams, old chum.
[The camera pans to the open cellar. Inside the basement, a bunch of rabbits cower in fear at Hutch’s cage. It had seemed to be rattling. Finally, the cage bursts into splintered wood. Cuts to a shot of the church.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (offscreen, praying) Protect and nourish the frail and the weak, O Lord. (cuts to him) Let them grow big and strong under Thy loving care. (camera pulls back, revealing that he is talking about his vegetables) In fact, let them grow bigger and stronger than anyone else’s, so the first prize might be mine! (drops water on his vegetables) Aaaaaaa-men! (picks up a basket of carrots) A harvest offering to bind the deal. (chuckles, leaves his greenhouse; sings) We plow the fields and scatter the good seed on- (twig snaps) Eh? (looks around the cemetery) Hmm. (clears throat; locks greenhouse. humming; walks to his church; hears lip smacking) Huh? Nah. (chuckles; goes in and sings) He sends the snow in the winter…
[From the Were-Rabbit’s POV, it goes into the church.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (sings) All the gifts around us are sent from- (creaking, candles go out) Heavens above. (turns around) Hello? (a candle falls over) Hello? Is anybody there? Mrs. Mulch? Please, come forward, whoever you are. There’s no need to be afraid. Ah! You’re hungry! Then, please, take what you like. It is for the needy after all. (the Were-Rabbit looms up to him) N-N-No.No! No! (bumps the table) No!
[Reverend Hedges tries to grab his cross but end up grabbing two cucumbers.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (scared; to the Were-Rabbit) Mercy!
[The Were-Rabbit eats the cucumbers.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (shocked) Ah… (faints)
[The Were-Rabbit eats the vegetables over Reverend Hedges. Once it's done eating, the Were-Rabbit crashed through the window and leaped through the cemetery. All around town, the Were-Rabbit started breaking in and started stealing vegetables and leaving marks all over. Even Mr. Growbag shines his flashlight at the cloudy swirling pattern the beast made. The next day, Gromit woke up and went downstairs and saw all of the pictures blinking and bleeping. He looked and saw the stove was left on and the teapot tipped over. He turns it off and notice the fridge was left open. The callbox started beeping "breakfast", as Gromit goes to the dining room.]
WALLACE: (gets smashed by the hammer offscreen) Ow! (falling on the chair) Morning, Gromit. (he has sleeves, shoes, shirt to put on) A pest-free night per… (notices the pictures blinking and beeping) chance?
[Gromit throws a newspaper to Wallace that reads, "Night of Vegetable Carnage!"]
WALLACE: (fearfully) Whoa. Lummy day.
[Transition to church. A meeting is going on as a crowd talks about what happened last night.]
MR. DIBBER: (angrily; to the constable) It’s a disaster.
MISS BLIGHT: (angrily; to the constable) Me garden’s ruined.
MR. WINDFALL: (angrily; to the constable) It’s carnage out there.
MRS. MULCH: (angrily; to the constable) Where were Anti-Pesto?
PC MACKINTOSH: (to the crowd) Simmer down. Simmer down, now. (the guests stop) Right. One at a time, if ya please.
MISS THRIPP: (angrily; at Wallace) We pay good money for our crop protection.
MR. CROCK: (angrily; at Wallace) If ya can’t deliver the goods, maybe you should keep your traps shut. (gives a broken Anti-Pesto to Wallace)
MR. GROWBAG: (speaks up; to the crowd) I never saw such cauliflower carnage. Worse than the Great Slug *Blight of ‘32, when there were slugs the size of pigs.
MRS. MULCH: (scared; to the crowd) Growbag’s right. The slugs are back!
MISS BLIGHT: (scared; to the crowd) The slugs are back!
PC MACKINTOSH: (to the crowd) That’s enough! That’s enough! Look, (takes the hat off) This flippin’ vegetable competition causes nothin’ but trouble every year.
MR. WINDFALL: (annoyed) Here we go.
PC MACKINTOSH: (to the crowd) If ya ask me…
MAN: (offscreen; to the constable) Get on with ya!
PC MACKINTOSH: (to the crowd) Know what? I’ll tell ya. (the townspeople are discussing the attack on their vegetables) If ya ask me, this was arson.
MR. CALICHE: (confused; to the constable) Arson?
PC MACKINTOSH: (to the crowd) Aye! Someone arsin’ around.
[They all chuckle.]
PC MACKINTOSH: (chuckles; to the crowd) That’s right. One of you lot. A man.
REVEREND HEDGES: (offscreen; to the constable) This was no man.
[They look over to see Hedges in a wheelchair.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (to the crowd) Does a man have teeth the size of axe blades? Or ears like terrible tombstones? (Gets up from his wheelchair.) By tampering with nature, forcing vegetables to swell far beyond their natural size, we have brought a terrible judgement upon ourselves.
[Dramatic piano plays.]
PC MACKINTOSH: (annoyed; to the lady) Hey! Give over!
[The lady stops playing the piano, then closes it.]
PC MACKINTOSH: (annoyed) Mental.
REVEREND HEDGES: (to the crowd) And for our sins, a hideous creature has been sent to punish us all! Repent! Repent! (to the viewers, with some other churchgoers looking at us) Lest you too, taste of wrath of (turns to the broken window) the Were-Rabbit! 
[Wind blew as the camera zooms out to reveal broken window of the Were-Rabbit's form.]
WOMAN: (scared) This is terrible! What’s going to happen to us?
REVEREND HEDGES: (dramatically; to the crowd) Doomed!
WOMAN: (scared) What’s going to help us?
MR. CALICHE: (scared) What’s to become of the vegetable show?
MISS THRIPP: (grabs PC by the coat; to the constable) We live for that competition.
PC MACKINTOSH: (tries to order Miss Thripp; to Miss Thripp) Get off me.
MISS THRIPP: (shakes him; to the constable) We’re simple folk. It’s all we have. Who will save us?
PC MACKINTOSH: (tries to order Miss Thripp; to Miss Thripp) Get… Hey!
[A gun fired. Everyone turned to see Victor who arrived.]
VICTOR: (scoffs; to the crowd) A Were-Rabbit? Oh, come, come, now. I do believe the vicar’s been to the communion wine again.
[The statue falls on the ground, Philip growls.]
VICTOR: (walks in; to the crowd) What we are dealing with here is no supernatural rabbit. It’s a big fellow, perhaps. But a mortal creature of flesh and blood. A matter easily dealt with by a hunter.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (offscreen; to Victor) Guns will not be necessary, thank you, Victor. (She is behind a podium with a light above her and wings on both her sides resembling an angel) Hasn’t there been enough destruction? (Victor pouts as he shifts behind a pitchfork with 2 red and black thorns as he centers by it, resembling a devil’s appearance) I believe the killing of fluffy creatures is never justified. I say we give Anti-Pesto a second chance.
VICTOR: (shocked; to Lady Tottington) What? How on earth would those tiny-minded buffoons ever catch such a big rabbit?
LADY TOTTINGTON: (quizzically; to Wallace) Mr. Wallace? (the churchgoers stare at him)
WALLACE: (nervously; to the crowd) Well… With a big trap.
[Gromit facepalms.]
MR. CROCK: (amazed) By Jove. He’s… He’s got it!
MISS BLIGHT: (amazed) Genius!
MAN: (amazed) Genius! Brilliant.
MRS. MULCH: (amazed) What a great idea!
MR. GROWBAG: (amazed) Clever.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiling; to Victor) You see, Victor, there’s hope for the vegetables yet.
VICTOR: (glares at Wallace and Gromit) Not the ones I’m looking at.
MR. DIBBER: (shakes hands with Wallace) That’s me boys! (after Wallace shakes hands, he makes the hand gesture, as Lady T. performs the same)
[Later that night...]
WALLACE: (proudly; to Gromit) Ahh, Love, Gromit. That’s the biggest trap of all. The "tender trap," they call it. And that’s what we’ll use to catch this thing. Yes, lad, a lovely lady rabbit.
[Camera shows the lady rabbit, dancing, which is Gromit tied to ropes like a ventriloquist’s dummy]
WALLACE: (offscreen; to Gromit) How could any hot-blooded rabbit-beast resist?
[Cut to Mr. Mulch. He was startled when he sees the dancing rabbit. Wallace keeps his head out of the window.]
WALLACE: (looking at a big rabbit; to Gromit) Oh, come on, Gromit. A bit more, you know, alluring.
[Gromit dances with the big rabbit.]
Wallace: (laughs; to Gromit) Ho ho! Ho! Very cheeky!
[Gromit steps on a pedal to make the rabbit wink.]
WALLACE: (laughs; to Gromit) That’s more like it, lad! How can we possibly fail now?
[Gromit sees a tunnel and tries to warn Wallace.]
WALLACE: (joyfully; to Gromit) You’re a total knockout!
[The big rabbit slams on a wall, sending Gromit up to the ceiling, then the van stops.]
WALLACE: (as he walks out of the van; to Gromit) Stick around, lad. (he begins to get the big rabbit) Should fix back on quite easy.
[Gromit comes out of the van, dazed before he gets into the front car. Taking his time, he begins to knit a quilt. Later, Gromit turns on the radio to get music but them he hears a slam. He looks outside but there is no answer. He honks on the wheel, trying to figure out who is out there. He gets back into the van, thinking he was hearing things. Suddenly, a massive broken carrot title crashes onto the van, chewed up and eaten. Then something threw vegetables outside and broke through a window. The creature went past Gromit and honks again. But since Wallace is not coming, he started to give chase. As he was about to gain after it, the Were-Rabbit leaped from behind and Gromit turns the van around to chase after him. He begins to use a lasso to catch it and gets hit by a yellow sign saying "Tow Away Zone. He continues to drive and crashed through a hedge. Dirt flew everywhere believing the rabbit had dug underground. Gromit tried to hurl it in, but he gets dragged under. Dirt started to cover the windshield, but Gromit begins to pull a switch "Heavy Loam" to clear the dirt. The Were-Rabbit started eating the vegetables underground as it breaks through everything on the neighbor's gardens.]
MRS. GIRDLING: (to her vegetables) Nighty-night, me lovelies. (closing the door) Think big now.
[Gromit continued to chase after the Were-Rabbit as Mrs. Girding locks the greenhouse. Seeing the were rabbit coming, she screams and tried to unlock the greenhouse.]
MRS. GIRDLING: (scared) No!
[The greenhouse falls into the hole as Gromit wiped the carrots off. The Were-Rabbit has escaped. Later that day, Gromit got out of the hole and shook the mud off the van. He goes outside and sees that the Were-Rabbit had entered the house. Gromit goes inside the broken door and he sees Wallace on the phone along with the portraits blinking.]
WALLACE: (on phone) Yes yes. Em, Mr. Dibber? Oh don’t worry. No. No. Well, I’m very sorry, Mrs. Mulch. We’ll get there as soon as we can. Mr. Dibber. Oh, yes. Can I call you back? Mrs. Girdling. A tunnel you say?
MR. DIBBER: (on phone) What do you intend to do about this?
WALLACE: (on phone) Oh, ha ha. I’ll look into it. (unplugs the telephone, and the blinkers shut off; to Gromit) So where did you get to, lad? I thought I told you to stay put. It’s gone mad around here. I thought we were supposed to be a team.
[Gromit looks and sees giant rabbit prints.]
WALLACE: (offscreen; to Gromit) How are we ever gonna catch this thing if you go gallivanting off on your own all the time?
[Gromit begins to follow them and sees that the prints are leading to the basement.]
WALLACE: (upset; to Gromit) You’re doing it again! Where are you going now? Gromit! Gromit!
[Gromit goes downstairs to the basement and to his confusion, he saw the shivering rabbits before they looked away to something. Gromit looks and sees something offscreen just as Wallace came down, still arguing.]
WALLACE: (upset; to Gromit) Really, lad. You do realize I’ve made a personal promise to Lady Tottington. How is this sort of behavior going to get us any nearer to finding a rabbit-mon...ster?
[They stood over to reveal a figure of a rabbit and the broken cage. The two are in total shock.]
WALLACE: (shocked) Hutch. 
[Stunned, Wallace grabbed the rabbit with his net. Hutch seemed to have changed with a fatter face and long limbs.]
WALLACE: (shocked; to Gromit) Oh, Gromit. We’ve created a monster. Hutch is the beast. The lunar panels. They must’ve over -stimulated Hutch’s primitive bunny nature. And now, when the moon appears, he undergoes a hideous transformation.
[Gromit is about to reach, but the rabbit twitches. The rabbits get scared. Then, Hutch lets out a loud burp. The rabbits sigh in relief while Gromit fans the air.]
WALLACE: (shocked; to Gromit) Oh, Gromit. This is absolutely... (delighted) fantastic! Don’t you see, lad? OK, so we’ve created a veg-ravinging rabbit-monster, but we’ve also captured it. (lets go of the rabbit) Just like I promised Lady Tottington. I’ll go her and tell her the good news. Make sure he doesn’t escape. (closing the door) Bye!
[Hutch hiccups a bit. Gromit begins to make a bigger security cage for Hutch and heads out of the basement. As he puts the wood on the door, he looked and saw more rabbit footprints. Understanding that it doesn't lead to the basement, he begins to follow them and sees that it's coming from upstairs. He goes up and follows it. To his surprise as he walked on, the giant rabbit feet turned into human feet. Gromit stopped and saw that the prints lead to Wallace's room. He opens the door and sees half eaten vegetables on the bed. Gromit jumps back in horror as his eyes grew wide, realizing that Wallace is the Were Rabbit. Transition to the doorbell of Tottington Hall ringing. Lady T answers it to see Wallace.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) Mr. Wallace.
WALLACE: (joyfully) It’s the beast, your Ladyship. I bring great news.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (joyfully; to Wallace) Gosh, how exciting. Please, do come in.
[Wallace stamps on the ground like a rabbit, then going in the building, Gromit gets into the van and started to drive off to the Hall. Cut to Wallace and Lady Tottington.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (happily; to Wallace) Well, this is simply spiffing news. (She pours Wallace tea) With the beast in captivity, the competition can go ahead as planned. You saved the day, Mr. Wallace.
WALLACE: (chuckles) It was nothing, your Ladyship.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) So modest. Oh, please, do help yourself.
WALLACE: (happily) Oh! Thanks. 
[With rabbit instincts kicking in, Wallace takes a flower of a vase and eats it. Lady Tottington didn't notice his strange behavior because her back was turned.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) I so appreciate you coming all this way to let me know, Wallace. Tell me, are you a vegetable-lover yourself?
WALLACE: (smiles) They’re... growing on me. (chuckles)
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) Then come with me. There’s something very special I want to show you.
[Wallace’s scratches his ear with his foot and hops to follow Lady T. Gromit had arrived at the building.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) Hop in.
WALLACE: (walks to Lady T) It’s very snug.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) It’s my Jacob’s ladder. (pushing a foot lever) And it goes all the way to heaven.
[Gromit looks at a window to see Wallace and Lady Tottington go up the elevator. In the Greenhouse...]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (proudly; to Wallace) Welcome to my inner sanctum, Wallace. My secret garden.
WALLACE: (amazed) It’s a veritable vegetable paradise. (He hops like a rabbit after each word)
LADY TOTTINGTON: (pleased; to Wallace) I just knew you’d love it. Unlike Victor. He’s never shown any interest in my produce.
WALLACE: (stretches his bowtie) His hoss, Lady Tottington.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (flirtingly; to Wallace) Please, Wallace. Call me Totty.
[Gromit climbed up the ladder and looked inside the greenhouse. He sees Wallace looking at the vegetables, licking his lips. He began to think as he opened up the window of the greenhouse.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (concerned; to Wallace) If anything were to happen to my vegetables, I don’t know what I’d do. I’m sure you understand, Mr. Wallace. I can see that you’re a true nature lover.
[Gromit waves his arms to get his attention.]
WALLACE: (smiles) Oh, yes. Yes, I am.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (concerned; to Wallace) At first, I thought I could change Victor. Now, I’m not so sure.
[Gromit grabs a tomato and throws it to get Wallace's attention but misses as it fell into a pot.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (quizzically; to Wallace) Do you think a man can change, Wallace?
WALLACE: (looks over peppers) Change? Oh, yes.
[Gromit looked over to see the sun is almost setting. Below, Victor is gathering a few roses from a bush to make a bouquet.]
VICTOR: (cutting some flowers; to Phillip) Really, Phillip. The things one does for love. 
[He hums until he notices the Anti Pesto van.]
VICTOR: (glares) Pesto.
[He then hears noises coming from the greenhouse.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (offscreen; to Wallace) Mr. Wallace.
WALLACE: (offscreen) Oh, Totty.
VICTOR: (outraged) Totty? 
[Outraged, he threw the bouquet to the ground with Phillip smashing them with his paws. Cut back to the greenhouse.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiling; to Wallace) I’d like to show you one last thing, something no other man has ever seen. (she pulls out a giant carrot) My carrot de Chantenay. (Wallace’s eyes widen) Just smell it, Wallace. Feel its silken flesh.
WALLACE: (looks hungrily at the carrot) Oh, yes.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) Isn’t it the most sumptuous, succulent specimen you’ve ever seen?
WALLACE: (excited) Yes!
[Gromit looks up and sees that he could activate the sprinklers to stop Wallace eating the carrot.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (quizzically; to Wallace) Doesn’t it fill your heart with desire?
WALLACE: (excited) Yes!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiling; to Wallace) Just imagine what it would taste like.
[Gromit picks and throws an asparagus stalk to turn the shower on, activating it and drenching both Wallace and Lady T. Later, back at the van, the wet Wallace is scolding Gromit for what he did.]
WALLACE: (squeezes the water out of his vest; to Gromit) What on earth were you thinkin’ of, lad? Ruined a perfectly good piece of fashionable knitwear, that did. To say nothing of a relationship with an important client.
[As Gromit kept a close eye on the setting sun, he looks ahead and sees a sign saying, "Road Closed."]
WALLACE: (offscreen; to Gromit) It’s lucky for us her Ladyship was so understanding.
[Gromit turns left to the woods and quickly presses the pedal to go faster.]
WALLACE: (upset; to Gromit) Honestly, I don’t know what’s got into you lately. And slow down for pity’s sake. You’ll buckle me trunions.
[Gromit stops the van and sees a chopped down tree blocking the road.]
WALLACE: (as he gets out of the van; to Gromit) Don’t worry. I’ll see to this. You stay here where you belong. In the doghouse. [closing the van door] Right. [he tries to lift the tree] It’s heavier than it looks.
[Looking over, Gromit saw that the tree wasn't fallen down but chopped by someone. Gromit looks over and sees something move on the view mirror. As Wallace tries to lift the tree, an ax was thrown next to him. Victor corners him.]
VICTOR: (sneers; to Wallace) I know your little secret, Pesto. I know exactly what’s going on.
WALLACE: (nervously; to Victor) Your Lordship…
VICTOR: (angrily; to Wallace) Yes. You think you can pilfer my filly, don’t you?
[Gromit tries to get out of the van, but Phillip barks at him, forcing him to keep closed.]
VICTOR: (angrily; to Wallace) You think you can con an innocent woman out of her fortune?
WALLACE: (nervously; to Victor) Who, me?
VICTOR: (angrily; to Wallace) Well, I got here first! (As Victor’s talking, Phillip stares at Gromit) I’ve spent a long time reeling in that fluffy-headed bunny-lover and I’m not about to let some puddle-headed peasant poach her from me. Comprenez?
WALLACE: (nervously; to Victor) Right-o. I’ll be off then. Ta-ta. (tries to leave)
VICTOR: (sneers; to Wallace) You’re not going anywhere, Pesto.
[Wallace gets flung back because of the ax pinning his overalls and crashes onto the tree.]
VICTOR: (sneers; to Wallace) Not until I’ve taught you a jolly good lesson. [puts his coat on the axe as Philip chuckles evilly] Come on! Queensberry rules! Put ‘em up, ya little pipsqueak.
[Wallace starts to shake as the transformation slowly begins.]
VICTOR: (laughs; to Wallace) You’re shaking. Don’t tell me you’re a scaredy-cat as well as a scoundrel. 
[Gromit looked up to see the moon is full. To be safe, he locks both the front doors.] 
VICTOR: (scoffs; to Wallace) And don’t think acting like a big girl’s blouse will get you out of it. There’s no mercy with Victor Quartermaine.
[He was about to punch Wallace, but his fist was caught, Phillip became confused as Victor was thrown into the car window. Recovering by the fall, Victor turned around in horror.]
VICTOR: (shocked) What the dickens?
[Wallace slowly started to turn into the Were-Rabbit as he grows buck teeth, and his hands started to grow fur.]
VICTOR: (shocked) What on earth…?
[Wallace starts to increase in size as his nose becomes rabbit-like, his ears turn furry, and a cotton tail sprouts out. Victor looked at Gromit who shrugs as Wallace continued to transform, ripping out of his clothes. Phillip started to whimper, begging Gromit to let him in. The beagle shook his head no. Victor, more panicked, watched as Wallace finally turned into the Were-Rabbit. The creature roars and Victor holds onto his toupee to keep it from flying away.] 
VICTOR: (scared; to Phillip) Phillip! Attack! Attack!
[Phillip is digging under the van, trying to hide. The Were-Rabbit grabs the fallen tree that Victor attempted to trap him with, then throwing it over the vehicle. He howls, prompting the rabbits to howl as well. The giant beast thumps his foot on the ground and catches a scent in the air. His mouth waters and the creature escapes. Victor looks at Gromit and smiles evilly. Not sure what he might be planning. Gromit quickly started the van and drives off, leaving Victor on the ground with his toupee off. Later, it’s raining. Victor knocks the handle on the door.]
VICTOR: (knocking the handle; to Hedges) Vicar! Vicar! Oh, where the devil is he?
REVEREND HEDGES: (opening a window from the door) Do you want to confess?
VICTOR: (sternly) I want you to talk about… the beast. 
[Hedges leads Victor inside.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (holding a candle) Everything you need to know is in this book.
VICTOR: (looking at a magazine saying, "Nun Wrestling: Big Bad Hits! Get Ready to Wimple!") "Nun Wrestling."
REVEREND HEDGES: (nervously) No. I meant this one. 
[He puts the book "The Observers Book of Monsters by Claude Savagely", then he opens it, turning to each page until he found what he was looking for.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (offscreen) Here. Here it is. The hideous monster plaguing our parish.
VICTOR: (grins evilly) The Were-Rabbit. (Reverend Hedges flinches in fear) So it’s true.
REVEREND HEDGES: (scared) The beast lurks within all of us, my child. The side that emerges at night as the moon rises into the sky. The side that savagely rips the leaves off any innocent cabbage.
VICTOR: (grabs the vicar) Spare me the sermon, Vicar. Just tell me how I kill him! I mean "it."
REVEREND HEDGES: (as Victor lets go of him) To kill such a creature would require nerves of steel and... a bullet.
VICTOR: (intrigued) A bullet? 
REVEREND HEDGES: (grins) A bullet.
VICTOR: (intrigued) A bull… (thunder strikes, Victor closes the window) What kind of bullet?
REVEREND HEDGES: (answering) A bullet of pure gold. (opening the doors to reveal three gold bullets)
VICTOR: (confused) Gold.
REVEREND HEDGES: (smiles) Yes. Twenty-four karat. (laughing)
VICTOR: (pushing Reverend Hedges) Get out of my way. (he takes three gold bullets) Silly old fool.
REVEREND HEDGES: (dramatically) Beware! Beware of the beast within!
[Victor closes the door. Cut to black. Fade open the next day, Gromit is in the dining room, looking at a newspaper that reads "Beast Strikes Again. The callbox bleeps allowing Gromit to pull it. A few eaten vegetables fell through the hole and landed all over the table then Wallace. Gromit carefully walked as he sees that Wallace had the Were-Rabbit's ears.]
WALLACE: (joyfully; to Gromit) Perfect re-entry, Gromit. This veg diet’s doing the trick, eh, lad? I feel smashing. (he takes a bite of a carrot) So how’s our rabbit-monster? Hope you’re keeping an eye on him.
[Gromit nods.]
WALLACE: (looking around; to Gromit) What’s up, dog?
[Gromit holds a mirror to Wallace.]
WALLACE: (exclaims and looks at his rabbit ears) Well, fancy that. Rabbit ears. That is a bit odd.
[Gromit puts the mirror away, then grabs the newspaper.]
WALLACE: (confused; to Gromit) And what are you tryin’ to say, lad?
[Gromit taps on the newspaper, then points, saying that Wallace is the Were-Rabbit.]
WALLACE: (confused; to Gromit) What? What? What? You think I’m the…? Because of these? Oh, no. No. This is just a reaction to that healthy veg diet you’ve got me on. It’s the toxins coming out. (patting on the dog) Silly old pooch. Thinking I’m the beast.
[Gromit puts the newspaper down, frustrated that Wallace doesn't believe him.]
WALLACE: (disbelieving; to Gromit) Next thing you’ll be saying is that Hutch is turning into me. 
[Gromit lifted his head and snaps his fingers, getting an idea to prove Wallace that he is always wrong. Later at the basement...]
WALLACE: (upset; to Gromit) Hey. What are you doing, lad? Have you gone completely mad?
[Gromit has opened up the giant cage that he had put Hutch in.]
HUTCH: (offscreen) Cheese!
WALLACE: (confused) Cheese?
[Gromit holds up a cheese and then, stomping footsteps were heard as Hutch appears, now a humanoid rabbit. Gromit gives the cheese to Hutch.]
HUTCH: (smiles) Ooh! I do like a bit of Gorgonzola.
WALLACE: (really understanding) Oh, dear.
[Cut to Lady Tottington getting the carnival and competition set up.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (writes in her clipboard) Perfect.
MAN #1: (greeting) Ma’am.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (checks in her clipboard) Now, let’s see.
[Two men are running past with a model fire engine.]
MAN #2: (running past) Coming through!
MAN #3: (running past) Mind your backs!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (laughs) The trombola’s arrived. And the bouncy Tottington Hall. Splendid! (opening a box with a golden trophy with a carrot, saying, "Golden Carrot") It’s going to be such a jolly competition tonight. I just know it. 
[Mrs. Mulch’s head pops up from a cutout of a muscular man.]
MRS. MULCH: (appears) Ya don’t know nothin’.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (confused) What?
MRS. MULCH: (angrily) The beast has struck again. That’s what. 
[Her head pops off as she shoves the cutout away. Behind her was the townspeople.]
WOMAN #1: (angrily) That’s right!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (misunderstands) No no no, you’re quite mistaken, Mrs. Mulch. The beast is in captivity.
MR. WINDFALL: (angrily) Oh, yeah? Then just take a look at my wife’s brassicas. 
[A few townsfolk perk up until Mrs. Windfall arrives with her brassicas, that being vegetables, destroyed. They look disappointed.]
MR. WINDFALL: (angrily) Ravaged in the night.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (confused) But I don’t understand. Anti-Pesto told me…
MR. WINDFALL: (angrily) A pack of lies!
MR. CALICHE: (worried) It’s not safe to bring our vegetables here. The show’s off.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly) But this is simply dreadful news. The Tottingtons have held a giant vegetable competition on this very night for over five hundred years.
MR. GROWBAG: (speaks up) That’s right. Not even the Great Duck Plague of ‘53 stopped it.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sighs) If only there were another way.
[Three bullets shoot down three stand out bunnies.]
VICTOR: (offscreen) What ho!
[Everyone looked and saw that Victor and Phillip had arrived.]
MAN #4: (offscreen) It’s Quartermaine.
VICTOR: (grins; to the crowd) Heard you had a spot of rabbit bother. (blows smoke at the mouth of the gun)
[Tottington watches in fear and sadness. Things are looking bad. Cut back to the home of Wallace and Gromit. The duo and Hutch are trying to fix the machine.]
WALLACE: (uses by trying to fix the Mind Manipulation-omatic) Didn’t this bit used to…? Now, now, let’s see. Oh. Where does this part go? 
[Even through he can't remember, he starts eating the part, thinking it's a carrot. Gromit shook his head in disblief.]
WALLACE: (sadly) Oh, it’s hopeless! I’ll never fix this flippin’ machine! Me mind’s just a rabbit-y mush! (sobbing) Oh, Gromit. I don’t wanna be a giant rabbit! (blowing his nose with his ears)
HUTCH: (feeling bad for Wallace) Aww, the bounce is gone from his bungee.
[As Gromit heads over to comfort Wallace, Hutch examines the machine part.]
HUTCH: (offscreen) Hey, Pesto! Rabbit rehabilitation.
WALLACE: (realizes) But if I can’t fix it…
HUTCH: (puts the parts together) Cheddar.
WALLACE: (amazed) …maybe the other me can!
HUTCH: (while working on the part) I’m inventing, mostly.
WALLACE: (delighted) Look at me go! I’m a genius.
[They hear a doorbell ring.]
WALLACE: (scared) Ah! Oh heck! I can’t answer the door. Not like this.
[Hutch starts to head up the steps.]
HUTCH: (as he approaches the door) Charming. I’m Wallace.
WALLACE: (scared) Ah, I already am! Hutch!
[Wallace goes after Hutch as he opens the door.]
HUTCH: (grins) Geronimo!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (confused; to Wallace) Wallace?
WALLACE: (grabs Hutch) Erm, hang on a mo’.
[Hutch blows raspberry as Wallace closed the door in front of her, whimpering. Gromit begins to hide Hutch in a coat as he puts winter cap on Wallace.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (offscreen; to Wallace) Wallace? Hello? I say. Open this door at once. 
[Wallace comes out as Gromit tucks his rabbit ear in.]
WALLACE: (nervously) Oh ha ha ha, Totty.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (frowns; to Wallace) Lady Tottington, if you don’t mind.
WALLACE: (frowns) Oh.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly; to Wallace) I’m afraid I have some rather bad news, Wallace. Thing is, well, you’ve rather let me down with this beastly beast business.
WALLACE: (frowns) I suppose I have.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly; to Wallace) Yes. It’s obvious to me that you have absolutely no idea where this poor creature is. And I’m afraid you’ve given me no option but to let Victor shoot the poor thing.
WALLACE: (scared) S-S-Shoot it?
[Gromit's eyes grew wide.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly; to Wallace) Yes. Wasn’t an easy choice, but the veg competition has to come first. 
[The ears stars to grow into Were-Rabbit’s ears. Wallace screams and hides them. He will soon transform into the Were-Rabbit soon. He quickly began to fasten his hat under his chin.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly; to Wallace) Besides, Victor’s promised me it won’t suffer. It will be quick and painless.
WALLACE: (hides his now growing rabbit hands) How thoughtful.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly; to Wallace) I cannot deny it was a difficult decision to me. Because I’ve recently developed… feelings for you.
WALLACE: (nervously) Feelings? Oh, well, never mind, eh? (laughs nervously) Ta-ra, then.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (holding the door; to Wallace) Wait! Wallace! I haven’t finished, yet. There’s more that need to be said.
WALLACE: (nervously) Well, I’ll give you a tinkle, shall I?
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly; to Wallace) Can’t we at least shake hands? Part as friends?
WALLACE: (nervously) It’s not very (buck teeth come out) convenient at the moment. Thanks for coming by. (closing the door)
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly) Well, I… I… 
[She sobs and leaves.]
VICTOR: (grins evilly; to Lady Tottington) That’s right, my lovely. You can say goodbye to your fluffy lover-boy.
[Phillip gives the gun to Victor]
WALLACE: (scared; to Gromit) You gotta help me, Gromit! Hide me. Anything. Before it’s too late! Lad!
HUTCH: (offscreen) Your Lordship.
[Gromit looks out of the window with Victor and Phillip. Hurrying, he pulled the rug where Wallace is and tries to get outside, but Wallace has completely transformed into the were rabbit. Frustrated, Gromit tries to get the rabbit to get away while he was eating in the fridge. Hutch gets out of the jacket and heads upstairs.]
HUTCH: (as he walks upstairs) Good night, Gromit.
[Gromit thinks of something and leaves. He begins to use the female rabbit costume again and try to attract the were rabbit out of the house. He begins to use a bouncing ball to get him away. Victor arrives and then shoots the Were-Rabbit. The Were-Rabbit falls dead. The gunshot echoes, leaving everyone else in shock. Victor has done the deed.]
MR. GROWBAG: (smiles) ‘Tis done.
[Lady Tottington sobs in sadness.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (sympathetic; to Lady Tottington) My poor sensitive child. Allow us to share in your moment of sorrow. 
[He briefly mourns before and turning away and cheering.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (cheers) Yeah!
[He throws his arms up in the air. The townsfolk all cheer as the lights and fireworks come on. Growbag drinks up and sighs happily.]
REVEREND HEDGES: (joyfully) On with the show!
[Victor slowly begins to approach, only to find it was Gromit in the costume.]
VICTOR: (shocked) What the…? (throws the head away) Why you…
[Phillip barks, getting his attention. Victor looks and seeing the destruction that the Were-Rabbit has caused is heading to the fair.]
VICTOR: (looking at the fireworks) Of course. The vegetable competition. 
[Later, Gromit is thrown in a cage.] 
VICTOR: (sneering; to Gromit) Your loyalty is moving. Sadly, you won’t be. (to Phillip) Come along, Phillip. Everyone’s been looking forward to a good show. Let’s see they get one. 
[Phillip kicks the stick by closing the cage, leaving Gromit in. Gromit tried to shake the cage, but it was no use. He begins to sniffle and cry. At the Carnival, we see some townsfolk play a carnival game by shooting down cut-out rabbits. They're all shot down. The carnie cheers and offers them a pink bunny plush, though that gets shot down.]
Mr. Growbag: (cheers) Hooray!
REVEREND HEDGES: (approaches Mr. Growbag) Mr. Growbag. I… I have a hunch this’ll be a night to remember.
MR. GROWBAG: (frowns) I just have a hunch.
PC MACKINTOSH: (on megaphone) All right. All right. If we must do this flipping veg show, let’s do it in an orderly and law-abiding fashion. (pointing at a gun target) Cucumbers, give way to marrows. Carrots, wait your turn!
PC MACKINTOSH: (on megaphone) Aubergines…
VICTOR: (aims with his gun) Aha. There’s our bait, Phillip. All we have to do now is wait for our fluffy friend to appear. (Eyes appear on Victor’s target)
MRS. GIRDLING: (to the crowd) Look over here, everyone! It’s Victor!
MAN: (joyfully) He’s here!
MRS. GIRDLING: (joyfully) Our hero.
[The crowd rushes over to Victor, much to his chagrin.]
MISS THRIPP: (holds her vegetable; to Victor) Please, sir, kiss my baby.
VICTOR: (pushing through the crowd) Another time, perhaps.
MR. DIBBER: (holding a potato; to Victor) Kiss my potato.
VICTOR: (pushing through the crowd) Not now.
MR. GROWBAG: (holds his artichoke; to Victor) Kiss my arrrrtichoke.
VICTOR: (annoyed) Look, just…
LADY TOTTINGTON: (approaches Victor) Victor.
VICTOR: (happily; to Lady Tottington) Campanula!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (worries; to Victor) Victor, I have to know. Did it suffer?
VICTOR: (smiles; to Lady Tottington) Of course not, my dear. (as he walks off; quietly) Not yet, anyway.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (confused; to Victor) Victor?
PC MACKINTOSH: (via megaphone) Oi, you.
VICTOR: (approaches Mackintosh; to the constable) Constable.
PC MACKINTOSH: (via megaphone) Careful with them capsicums.
VICTOR: (to PC Mackintosh, quietly) Listen, I don’t want to cause panic, but the beast isn’t actually dead yet.
PC MACKINTOSH: (Saying it, with megaphone in hand, in front of Victor’s ear) The beast isn’t actually dead yet?
MAN: (shocked) What?
[Everyone including Lady Tottington all stopped the carnival and stared.]
PC MACKINTOSH: (sheepishly; via megaphone) Oops.
[Victor facepalms and shakes his head in chagrin. Everyone screamed in horror as they raced to their vegetables.]
PERSON: (panicking; to the others) To the competition stand!
[Gromit uses a shovel to try to get out of the cage, but it ended up breaking. Frustrated, he throws the broken part.] 
HUTCH: (offscreen; to Gromit) Cracking toast, Gromit. I’m just crackers about cheese. Monterey Jack. Mmm.
[Gromit looked up to see Hutch inside the house. Thinking he might help, Gromit throws the broken part at the gnome, activating it.] 
HUTCH: (holds up a piece of cheese) Smashing Wensleydale.
[The mechanical hand gives the cheese to Hutch, then back in. The bed flipped and Hutch was sent sliding down and got his cap on. Then he lets him go like a catapult and then into the van. He pressed autostart, sending the van backwards. It burst through the house and crashed into the cage, freeing Gromit.]
HUTCH: (pokes out the window) Job well done, lad. (chuckles)
[Gromit enters his greenhouse and takes off the blanket off the marrow. He looked at the picture of the Competition and then cuts the marrow with a knife.] 
VICTOR: (to the crowd) Quiet! Quiet!
[He shoots his gun, wasting another gold bullet and making everyone stop.]
VICTOR: (to the crowd) Now, listen carefully. I’ve only got two- (corrects himself) I’ve only got one gold bullet left. (Victor puts the bullet in and cocks it) So leave this to me.
MAN: (offscreen) What?! Like last time?!
VICTOR: (to the crowd) Yes, all right, I admit the beast is still at large. But the good news is your prize vegetables are the perfect bait…
MRS. MULCH: (shocked) Bait?
VICTOR: (to the crowd) …that will draw the creature like a magnet. But you must keep still...
MRS. MULCH: (to her pumpkin) My baby.
MR. MULCH: (assures his wife) There, there, love. It’ll be all... 
[He noticed that Mrs. Mulch is gone.] 
LADY TOTTINGTON: (scared) Mrs. Mulch! No!
[Victor looked over to see Mrs. Mulch running off with her pumpkin.]
MRS. MULCH: (while running away) It’s not getting my baby!
[Cut to Hutch and Gromit heading to Tottington Hall.]
HUTCH: (while driving) Lovely food. For rabbits, that is.
[Gromit nods as he put the rope on the marrow. Cut back to Tottington Hall...]
PEOPLE: (to Mrs. Mulch) Come back!
[As everyone pleaded for Mrs. Mulch to come back, rumbling made the attractions move. Victor grins, realizing the Were-Rabbit is coming from under the ground.]
VICTOR: (grins evilly) Yes. Right on cue.
ALL: (to Mrs. Mulch) Come back! Come back!
[Mrs. Mulch turns around and runs. The crowd gasps, sensing the Were-Rabbit is coming toward them.]
ALL: (to Mrs. Mulch) Go away! Go away!
VICTOR: (grins evilly) That’s right. Come to Uncle Victor.
[Gromit drives in a van into the carnival as the people started to back away as the Were-Rabbit dug right past Mrs. Mulch.]
MAN: (as the crowd backs away; to the crowd) It’s coming for us!
[Victor aims his gun as Lady Tottington covered her eyes.]
VICTOR: (grins evilly) Bingo. (the van drives by Victor, leading the Were-Rabbit away) What the…? 
[He looked to see Gromit riding on a mellow like a surfboard while it is tried to the van.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (cheers) Hurrah for Anti-Pesto!
MR. CALICHE: (shakes Victor's gun) It’s getting away!
VICTOR: (gets his gun away) Get off, you stupid…
MISS THRIPP: (takes the gun away; to Victor) Give me that. 
VICTOR: (shocked) No!
[The gun fired. Gromit dodged the bullet in time as it hit the van. The dog gives Hutch a thumbs up as the Were-Rabbit came out of the ground.]
VICTOR: (pulls the vicar in front of his face) Vicar, I need more gold bullets.
REVEREND HEDGES: (frowns; to Victor) They don’t come cheap, you know.
[Victor looks at the golden carrot, and getting an idea, he begins to use the golden gun and fireworks before he was about to grab for the golden carrot trophy.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (confused; to Victor) Victor, what are you doing?
VICTOR: (takes the trophy; to Lady Tottington) I need it, my sweet. Emergency.
[The Were-Rabbit stops to hear his love's voice.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (offscreen; to Victor) Victor, no! Please!
VICTOR: (offscreen; to Lady Tottington) Come, now, Campanula, let go.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (offscreen; to Victor) But it’s my Golden Carrot Award.
[Cut back to Victor and Lady Tottington fighting over the trophy.]
VICTOR: (tries to grab the trophy; to Lady Tottington) This is hardly the time, my darling. Give it to me this instant!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (tries to grab the trophy; to Victor) But Victor!
[The Were-Rabbit glares at Victor. Gromit waves to Hutch.]
HUTCH: (pokes out the window; to Gromit) Cheese, Gromit.
[The van went right into the cheese tent, sending Gromit crashing into the marrow.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (tries to grab the trophy) The Golden Carrot belongs in the show!
VICTOR: (tries to grab the trophy) No, the Golden Carrot belongs in the Were-Rabbit.
[Victor takes the golden carrot out of Lady Tottington's hand before the Were-Rabbit hits him on the head, squashing his toupee.]
MAN: (scared) Every man for himself!
[The Were-Rabbit grabs Lady Tottington. Everyone runs away as the Were-Rabbit throws a table and walks on top to a man carrying a marrow.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (while being held by the creature) Help! Help! Help me! Put me down at once, you great big hairy thing, you! Stop! Stop!
[During the commotion, the Were-Rabbit steps on someone who utters out a Wilhelm scream.]
MR. CALICHE: (putting a paper reading "Angry Mob" over "Garden") Mob supplies! Get your angry mob supplies here.
[Victor’s head goes back out with the toupee off completely ripped and ruined. Gromit pops out of the marrow and sees it's ruined before hearing noises outside the tent. As the Were-Rabbit is about to leave, the crowd charged at it.]
Mrs. Girdling: (offscreen) Put her down, you great ugly brute!
Mrs. Mulch: (using a chainsaw) I’ll bagsy the lucky rabbit’s foot.
[The villagers all charge to the Were-Rabbit, but he jumps to the building with Lady Tottington screaming and the villages topping all over each over.]
Lady Tottington: (scared) Help me, someone! Help me!
Victor: (takes the Golden Carrot off) Yes.
[Gromit runs but gets cornered by Phillip. Victor climbs up the building, only to see the Were-Rabbit pull off the pipe.]
Victor: (scared) No. No, no, no!
[Victor falls and landed on a cotton candy machine. Gromit begins to leave just in time for Phillip to be distracted and notice he's gone. The were rabbit breaks into the green house, still holding Lady Tottington.]
Lady Tottington: (scared; to the Were-Rabbit) Put me down! Put me down, you… whatever you are! Help! 
[She shut her eyes as the beast set her down to eat her, but he didn't. She looked up at the beast.]
Lady Tottington: (confused; to the Were-Rabbit) What is it? What are you staring at with those beastly eyes?
[The creature looks at her and slowly lifted his hands with a little wave. Finally, Tottington realized who he is.]
Lady Tottington: (realizing; to the Were-Rabbit) Wallace.
[Gromit continues to run to where Wallace is, and he stops and sees a dog fight ride. Getting an idea to get to Wallace, he inserted some coins and started to ride on the plane. Phillip looked and began to smile evilly. Cut to Tottington and the Were-Rabbit.]
Lady Tottington: (stroking Wallace; to the Were-Rabbit) Oh, Wallace. What ever have you done to yourself? Well, don’t worry. I’ll protect you.
Victor: (he arrives, covered in cotton candy; to the Were-Rabbit) Get your hairy mitts off my future wife, you big brute.
Lady Tottington: (pleading; to Victor) No! Victor! You don’t understand. The hunt is off. It’s… We made a terrible mistake.
Victor: (determined; to Lady Tottington) Oh, no. You commissioned me to rid you of Pesto, and that’s just what I intend to do. 
Lady Tottington: (shocked; to Victor) Pesto? Why you- 
[Outside, Gromit steers the plane towards the lighthouse slide. Back inside the greenhouse, Lady Tottington is shocked about Victor's reveal.]
Lady Tottington: (shocked; to Victor) You knew it was Wallace all along!
Victor: (groans; to Lady Tottington) Oh, all right. So what if it is that blithering idiot. No one will ever believe you. And if I can’t have your money, I can still bag your bunny.
[Lady Tottington grabs the pansy spray, then sprayed it at Victor’s eyes to distract him.]
Victor: (in pain) My eyes!
Lady Tottington: (to the Were-Rabbit) Run, rabbit, run!
[Wallace runs away as Victor used the rake and pinned Lady T's hair down.]
Victor: (smugly; to Lady Tottington) I rather like your hair pinned back.
Lady Tottington: (scared) No, Victor, no! Stop! Please! Victor!
Victor: (evilly; to the Were-Rabbit) You can hop, but you can’t hide, Pesto.
[Flying on the airplane. Gromit felt a bump and sees Phillip on a red plane. Victor ducks but Phillip bumps into him, and onto the weathervane. His bare bottom is showing as he hangs from the weathervane by the pants.]
Reverend Hedges: (points at the hanging Victor's butt) Beware the moon!
[The two planes raced along the ledge. Gromit moved faster to leaped over the gap.]
Victor: (grabbing a gun) Stupid interfering mutt.
[Gromit grabbed onto a pole to turn as the red airplane crashes to the ground. However, Phillip had leaped onto Gromit's plan to escape. Wallace continued hopping, but he was cornered.]
PC Mackintosh: (to the crowd) Stand back! There may be a large rabbit dropping!
[Philip pilled himself as he swings at Gromit. Gromit grabbed the hammer. They tussle as Phillip pins him. The Were-Rabbit leaped again and grabbed on the pole.]
Victor: (laughing; to the Were-Rabbit) Looks like the buck stops here.
[As Phillip presses the ax on Gromit's neck, Gromit opens the bomb doors and Phillip falls off. He landed onto the bouncy house, deflating it with his sharp teeth. Victor takes aim at the creature as Gromit used the ax to slingshot around the flagpole.]
Victor: (evilly; to the Were-Rabbit) Eat karat, bunny boy!
[Victor shoots his gun. Realizing the golden carrot is about to hit the were rabbit. Gromit flies closer and grabbed onto the rope. He swings by and then got in front of Wallace. The carrot hits the plane in time, saving the giant rabbit.] 
Victor: (dropping the gun) Potty poo!
[The rabbits from below cheer. Gromit high-fived the Were-Rabbit only to realize his mistake and starts to fall. Wallace leaped to Gromit and fall into the cheese tent. Gromit emerged and saw the creature injured and weak.]
Victor: (laughing) No one beats Victor Quartermaine!
Lady Tottington: (appears behind him; to Victor) Is that so? (hits Victor with a big carrot) Consider yourself dumped.
[Victor falls on top of the van. The female rabbit costume appears nearby. Gromit looks at it and gets an idea. As the angry mob heads to the tent, Gromit puts Victor into the female rabbit costume and pushed him outside.]
Man: (spots the female rabbit; to the crowd) He’s in there! There he is! Surround him!
Mr. Leaching: (spots the female rabbit; to the crowd) There he is! Over there!
[They chase after the female rabbit while Gromit dusts his paws in satisfaction. Victor stumbles around in the costume.]
Victor: (inside the costume; to Phillip) Phillip, help me! Phillip! Do something.
[Phillip gets out of the bouncy house and, seeing the big female rabbit, he charges and bites the tail, causing Victor to scream in pain.]
Reverend Hedges: (angrily; to the crowd) Destroy! Drive out the monstrosity!
[The mob chases Victor. Tottington smiles from the tent.]
Lady Tottington: (satisfied) Well, let’s see how he likes it. (closing the doors) Wallace?
[Lady T looked over as Gromit comforts Wallace. The rabbits peek though the tents, worried. Wallace faints as Gromit watched sadly. The mind waves from earlier in the movie are being transformed back into Wallace.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (sadly; to Gromit) Oh, Gromit. Well, at least now he’s at peace. The rabbit’s gone. If only there were a way to bring back Wallace. 
[She begins to cry, followed by the rest of the bunnies. Gromit feels hopeless until...] 
HUTCH: (offscreen; to Gromit) He he he! 
[Gromit sees Hutch eating some cheese nearby.]
HUTCH: (while eating; to Gromit) Lovely cheese, Gromit.
[Gromit snaps his fingers as he gets an idea.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (confused; to Gromit) Gromit?
[Gromit takes a cheese of Stinking Bishop from Hutch’s plate.]
HUTCH: (smiles; to Gromit) Don’t forget the crackers.
[Gromit uses the cheese to sniff at Wallace.]
WALLACE: (wakes up) Cheese? (The two (Gromit and Totty) gawk in awe; eats the cheese) Cheese! It’s me again. I’m back! (gets up; to Gromit) Gromit! You clever mutt. Well done, old pal! (gives Gromit a hug.)
[The rabbits all hug.]
WALLACE: (joyfully; to Lady Tottington) Totty!
LADY TOTTINGTON: (surprised; to Wallace) Wallace! You’re...
[Gromit puts a box on Wallace covering his nudity. The box is label "Cheese" with a note that says "May Contain Nuts."]
WALLACE: (grateful; to Gromit) Thanks, lad.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (chuckles) Oh, look! (picking up the golden carrot) Well, I think you deserve this, Gromit. For a brave and splendid melon (‘marrow’ in other prints). (gives the golden carrot to Gromit) We’ve all got a lot to thank you for.
WALLACE: (pets Gromit) Every dog has his day.
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) And thank you, Wallace. You’ve saved me from a terrible marriage. All the same,... (looks over at two rabbits nuzzling their noses) ...it is going to be rather lonely at Tottington Hall now. Unless I have a little proposal for you, Wallace.
[Cut to them at Tottington Hall the next morning.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles; to Wallace) I’m so thrilled you agreed to go through with this.
WALLACE: (smiles; to Lady Tottington) My pleasure, Totty. (to Gromit) One for the album, Gromit.
[Gromit holds the camera. Lady Tottington leans in and Wallace gets ready for a kiss until it's revealed she's pulling a rope to reveal a sign. "TOTTINGTON HALL BUNNY SANCTUARY - Fluffy Creatures Welcome."]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (proudly) I declare this bunny sanctuary officially open.
[Gromit takes a picture. The rabbits in the BV6000 and the cages clap.]
WALLACE: (to Gromit) When you’re ready, lad. Fire up the old BV6000.
[As Gromit pulls the switch to "Blow", the rabbits go in the tube one by one and blown back.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (joyfully; to Wallace) Oh, it’s simply marvelous. My home, a safe haven for all things fluffy.
[The rabbits come out of all the holes.]
LADY TOTTINGTON: (smiles at Wallace) I do hope you’ll still come visit, Wallace. I’d rather got used to having you around.
WALLACE: (smiles; to Lady Tottington) There’ll always be a part of me here at Tottington Hall. (to Gromit) Give it some more welly, lad.
[Gromit pulls the switch down and Hutch bursts out of the hole. He flies up in the air in joy.]
HUTCH: (joyfully; to the viewers) Cheese!
[The scene freezes as the "THE END" title card appears. Fade to black. Roll credits. The rabbits float by as the credits roll. After the credits, one rabbit bumps on the text "WE WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THAT NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED DURING THE MAKING OF THIS MOTION PICTURE" and falls down, and the movie ends.]
