(A horn honks.) A DUCK!

Bristle: Napoleon, did you hear that?

Napoleon Jones: Hear what?

Bristle: A quack.

Napoleon: A quack?

Bristle: I heard quacking from inside the trunk!

Napoleon: Quacking? Like a duck?

Bristle: Mmm-hmm!

Napoleon: (sighs) Monsieur Bristle, I do not think there is a duck inside this trunk.

Bristle: Hmm...

''But if there wasn't a duck inside, what made the sound? Since there was no hope of finding out, Bristle decided to go about his business.''

(A bell rings.)

Bristle: A bicycle bell! From inside the trunk! (runs over to the trunk) Napoleon, I heard a biycle bell!

Napoleon: A bicycle bell? Are you certain?

Bristle: Yes. You must've heard it.

Napoleon: Bristle, what do you expect to see? A duck riding a bicycle?

Bristle: Yes...uh...no...I am sure I heard a bell!

Scarecrow: Did anyone loose a key? I just found one in the garden.

Bristle: That must be the key for this trunk!

(Scarecrow puts the key in the trunk.)

Scarecrow: It fits! You're right, Bristle!

Napoleon: Don't open it!

Scarecrow: Why not? What's in there?

Napoleon: We're not sure!

Bristle: I heard it quack and ring!

Scarecrow: Perhaps it is a duck with an alarm clock! Let's find out!

Bristle: Yes.

Napoleon: You must not. Opening this trunk is against the rules, and we cannot break the rules. Bristle, you had better take this for safekeeping.

Scarecrow: Just one little peek? I'm so curious!

(Bristle stares at the key.)

Bristle wanted to know what was inside that trunk!

(Bristle walks over to the chest and it honks and rings again.)

Bristle: Ha! Rules are RUEELS, I won't open it! I am not going to open it and that's final...

(The chest rings.)

Bristle: I can't stand it! I've got to know what is inside!

(Bristle opens the trunk.)

Mumfie and Pinkey (popping out of the trunk): SURPRISE!

Bristle: What?

Napoleon: We caught you. You broke a rule and now we get to make the rules. Rule number 1, we want you to take back all of your silly rules.

Bristle: They are not silly RULES!

The Queen of Night: Bristle!

Suddenly, The Queen of Night appeared.

The Queen of Night: From now on, the only rules that will stand are those that help us to be safe, fair, and friendly.

Bristle: Yes, your majesty.

The Queen of Night: Now Bristle, would you banish any rules that make it difficult to have fun or that make people feel unhappy?

Bristle: Yes, your majesty.
