spec pilot for burger king kids club gang animated series.

INT. CLUBHOUSE - DAY

KID VID, a blonde caucasian boy wearing a digital visor, stands at a podium and addresses the gathered burger king kids club gang.

KID VID
welcome again, fellow members, to another meeting of the burger king kids club. do we have any new business?

JAWS
i do, kid vid.

JAWS, a tall black boy wearing a shirt with a picture of the planet earth on it, stands up.

KID VID
go ahead, jaws.

JAWS
well, guys, i have a problem. there's a small bit of swampland near my house where i like to go birdwatching, and i just found out the owner, mr. fisher, is going to tear it down this friday so he can rent the land out to business owners.

KID VID
maybe they'll put in a video arcade!

JAWS
no, kid vid, you don't understand. if those birds are displaced from their natural home, they might not have anywhere else to go.

SNAPS, a blonde caucasian girl holding a camera, stands up.

SNAPS
that is a problem. but i think we can help! why don't we put together a multimedia presentation for mr. fisher to persuade him to preserve the swamp as is? kid vid, you can make a slideshow on your tablet. i'll go to the swamp and take pictures of all the birds.

KID VID
good idea, snaps. lingo, why don't you design some eye-catching signs and banners so anyone who supports our cause can be there for the presentation?

we see LINGO, a hispanic boy holding an artist's pallet.

LINGO
with pleasure!

WHEELS, a caucasian paraplegic boy in a souped-up wheelchair, revs a small motor.

WHEELS
i'll start a petition and collect signatures so mr. fisher can see how many people like that swamp.

BOOMER, a redheaded girl in a sports jersey, leans over from her chair.

BOOMER
good call, wheels! i'll recruit the baseball team to help so we can cover more ground.

I.Q., a redheaded boy wearing glasses and a lime green lab coat, stands.

I.Q.
good thinking, boomer. and if mr. fisher's concerns are financial, perhaps there's a way to make that swampland profitable. i'll do some calculations in my laboratory.

JAWS
okay.

J. D., a dog wearing skateboard gear, makes a dog sound and gives a thumbs up.

KID VID
good work, everybody. now let's save this swampland!

INT. BURGER KING - DAY

the gang enters.

KID VID
helping our community is hard work, so let's get some good food.

spirited electric guitar music plays over a montage of the gang laughing and having a good time as they order some burger king kids meals and eat them. they each get a cool toy and have fun playing with their new toys together. j.d. skateboards through the restaurant.

EXT. SWAMPLAND - DAY

a demolition crew has paused before the swampland as kid vid finishes showing his presentation on a projector screen before a large crowd of artistic sign-wielding supporters.

KID VID
and so you see, mr. fisher, this swampland is more important to this community than you may have realized.

MR. FISHER, a man in a business suit and hard hat, looks around.

MR. FISHER
i never thought of it like that.

boomer stands before her fellow baseball teammates.

BOOMER
we collected over a hundred signatures for our petition to preserve this beautiful swampland.

WHEELS
don't forget these!

we see that wheels has an enormous stack of signatures.

BOOMER
wow! that's a lot of signatures!

WHEELS
i move pretty fast.

I.Q.
mr. fisher, we know this issue is not just black and white for you, and we thank you for humoring our environmental concerns, but i think you'll find there's a great value in these swamps for you. i've created a filtration system that can turn the swamp sludge from these lands into clean-burning fuel for your car.

i.q. hands mr. fisher a mechanical contraption.

MR. FISHER
i'll have my men take a look at it.

JAWS
hey, i.q., that's a pretty serious invention. you should try to patent it and take it to the auto companies. this could end the world's energy crisis and save the human species from global warming.

I.Q.
yeah, maybe.

CONSTRUCTION FOREMAN
mr. fisher, are we going to tear down this swamp or what?

mr. fisher looks out at the crowd.

MR. FISHER
no. there'll be no demolition today. this swampland isn't going anywhere!

the crowd cheers. everyone starts eating whoppers and fries. jaws turns to the kids club gang.

JAWS
thanks, guys. i couldn't have done this without you.

KID VID
that's what the burger king kids club is all about! helping each other, making a difference, great food, cool fun, kids only!

j.d. puts up his paw and kid vid high-fives it.
