               2X07 - City On The Edge Of Forever

               [A mountain pass. Ms. Crabtree is driving the kids somewhere 
               and is going up a hill. The kids are having a grand old time 
               running around and tossing paper airplanes. Cartman has an entire 
               two-tiered chocolate cake on his laps. And a fork]

                         BE QUIET BACK THERRE! THESE ROADS ARE 
                         SLIICK!

                         What?

                                     STAN
                         Are you gonna share any of that cake 
                         with the rest of us?
 
                                     CARTMAN
                          Hmmm, let me see. No!

                         Come on, fatass! You shouldn't be eating 
                         all that cake anyway!
 
                                     CARTMAN
                         Mmm. It's chocolaty and delightful.

                         out there.
 
                                     STAN
                         Dude, the road is always snowy.

                         I know, but, it's really snowy today.
 
                         
                                     CARTMAN
                          Mmm. I can't possibly finish this whoole 
                         cake. Oh, yes I can. 
 
                                     STAN
                         Shut up, Cartman!

               Ms. Crabtree	[slams the brakes on, opens a box, and pulls out 
               a bunny] Okay, that does it! Y'all be quiet or the cute little 
               bunny dies! [points a gun at its head. The class gasps and look 
               at her for a while. Sure that she has made her point, she puts 
               the bunny back in the box and resumes driving]
 
                                     STAN
                         Dude, she always tries to quiet us down 
                         by threatening to kill that bunny, but 
                         I wonder if she ever would.
 
                                     KYLE
                         Oh, she would, dude. She would.

                         now.
 
                                     CARTMAN
                          I can not possibly eat one more bite 
                         of its chocolaty goodness. Oh, but but 
                         but, but I'll try.
 
                                     KYLE
                         Dammit, Cartman, you are such a fat 
                         fuck!

                          WHAT DID YOU SAY?! 

               Whoa oh. [she slams the brakes on, but the bus goes over the 
               shoulder and tumbles down the side of the hill]
 
               Hold oonn! Aaaaa! [the kids tumble all over the place and scream, 
               but Cartman just munches away on the cake, quite undisturbed. 
               The bus bounces on the bottom of the hill and lands on a river 
               upright, floating on down]
 
                                     KIDS

                         BE QUIET, KID!

               [the kids look back at where they were as the bus continues down 
               the river - and over a waterfall, straight down]
 
                                     ALL
                         Aaaah!

                         chickadee. They're indigenous to this 
                         area.

               and bobs up facing backwards.]

               [It is carried further down until the river bends. Then the bus 
               is washed up onto the river bank, on the other side of which 
               is a cliff. The bus teeters on the precipice]

                         I don't think we're in a very safe spot.

                         Ms. Crabtree?

                                     MS. CRABTREE
                         SHUT UP, KIID! I HAVE TO WATCH A TRAINING 
                         VIDEO!
 
                                     TRAINER
                          Welcome to tape 7 of the bus driver's 
                         video guidebook. What to do if you become 
                         stranded. By now you've calmed down 
                         the children and kept order by using 
                         the 'keep quiet or I'll kill the bunny' 
                         technique. Now, it's time to get help. 
                         The most important thing to remember 
                         is that the children will be safe as 
                         long as they stay on the bus. So do 
                         not, under any circumstances, let any 
                         children off the bus. The best way to 
                         achieve this is to tell them something 
                         like, 'A big scary monster will eat 
                         you if you step off the bus.'
 
                                     MS. CRABTREE
                         KIIDS, DO NOT GET OFF THIS BUS. IF YOU 
                         DO A BIG SCARY MONSTER WILL EAT YOU!
 
                         
                                     TRAINER
                         That's right. With the children properly 
                         subdued, you can leave the bus and go 
                         out looking for assistance. And remember 
                         your bur driver's code: 'Sit down. And 
                         shut up!'
 
                                     MS. CRABTREE
                         I'm goin' for help. Ah'll be back as 
                         soon as I cane. Remember. Don't get 
                         off this bus, or a big scary monster 
                         WILL EAT YOU!

                         Hey, why doesn't the scary monster eat 
                         her?
