{Open on Crack Stuntman standing against a bluish-gray background.}
CRACK STUNTMAN: Blah-hi, kids, BLAH'm Crack Stuntman. {he holds up one finger} I used to do the voice of Cheat Commander on the cartoon man show until contractual mumbo-jumbo screwed me out of the sweetest stink I ever had! {pleading} Please take me back!
{Cut}
CRACK STUNTMAN: {smiling} But I'm also the voice of a much more important nonprofit organization called— {shocked and mad} Nonprofit?! What the bluh-what?! But I'm still get paid, right?
{Cut}
{Crack is now in expensive sunglasses and his shirt pocket is stuffed with dollar bills}
CRACK STUNTMAN: But I'm also the voice of a non-profit organisation called Pistols for Pandas, {Pistols for Pandas logo appears to his left} that I hold very near and dear to my new sunglasses.
{Crack turns, and scene changes}
CRACK STUNTMAN: In light of the recent made-up holiday designed to make your parents feel guilty about their car, I thought I'd tell you just how P for P gets small firearms into the paws of our planet's most adorable, and most unarmed, creatures.
{Scene changes to stickmen drawings - one has a baseball cap on, the other's head it Crack's}
CRACK STUNTMAN: For every dollar you give to Pistols For Pandas, we laugh at, cuz, like, what good's a dollar gonna do? But for every five dollars you give, we buy one box of cereal with the best prize in it. I eat said cereal, play with the prize, and save the box top. Once we have enough box tops, I dress up like a fifth grader and take them to a local school. That buys the school a computer, which I sneak out with after charming the whole-rimmed glasses off the media centre ladies. I take these computers to a local pawn shop, and exchange them for the weapons pandas need. And finally, when nobody's looking, I dump these pistols into the panda habitat out at the local zoo. {zoom on Crack's face} Did you hear that? I used the word local like three times. That means this good cause is even upittier than most! {buzzer sound is heard, and a box displaying "Buzzword Rated", and three leaves each containing the word "local" come down onto the right side of the screen}
{Cut back to real Crack}
CRACK STUNTMAN: We're destroying these poor creatures faster than ever before. If we don't give them the means to protect themselves when we come clear cut their bamboo forests and build a five star resort, who will?
{a tray with a two-layered cocktail on it slides into view}
CRACK STUNTMAN: IIIIIII said several lines! This is two lines!
{while this is said, the bamboo behind Crack is chopped down}
CRACK STUNTMAN: {offscreen} Pistols For Pandas; This good cause is good...'cause!
