How do you think?

8 minus 10.

Dr. Walley, what are you doing?

I need to get a message out.

I know too much.

They're not going to let us leave.

I'm sending for help.

Everything is going to be okay, my little Tweety.

I promise.

You can jump or we can push you.

Someday, the truth will be known.

Hi!

It is my old friend, Kevvie.

Yeah, it's been a while.

Look at you, shaking things up.

Well, not intentionally shaking, really.

I think we should have a face-to-face, don't you?

Your face and my face?

Be in my office in 15 minutes.

Get things right as rain.

Okay, sounds... looking forward to it.

From its humble roots as a cartoon anvil factory,

Acme has become America's greatest success story.

Acme, I say, Acme is an innovation factory.

We create the impossible.

With each new product, we revolutionize industry and the world.

We're a company of family values that values its family of companies.

Acme.

Hey!

I don't know what your deal is, but I need you to listen to me very carefully.

Stop!

You are going to follow my lead, all right?

We're going to tell them this is all just a big misunderstanding,

and we're looking to get this settled as quickly as possible.

We will be polite.

We will not detonate explosives.

All right?

If they put something in front of us, we will sign it.

Got it?

Mr. Avery, Bill Pelicanos, and Mr. Coyote.

I'll take a seat, buddy.

So I hear you guys were friends from back in the day, huh?

Guess you could say that if you were incorrect.

And look at this guy going clothing optional.

Hey, buddy, look who's here.

Isn't Mr.

How you been, man?

Good, good, yeah, very good.

Ah, those were the days, weren't they?

Yeah, Harvard Law.

You look... good.

Uh, thank you.

Have a seat.

Okay.

I got to say, I was a bit surprised to see your name on a case of this size.

Me too.

I mean, I'm so sorry about all this.

It was just a big misunderstanding.

Well, we got a really busy day around here,

and I would hate to keep you from getting back to... whatever it is you do.

Yeah, law stuff too.

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, my God.

And this seems obvious, but I have to say it anyway.

Acme denies all charges and accepts no liability

or causal connection between Mr. Coyote's colorful injuries

and our state-of-the-art, life-enhancing family products.

Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah.

And, you know, as much fun as it would be to get back in a

courtroom with you, I think it's time to do what you do best.

Settle.

Yeah, um, well, look, thank you so much,

and I'm so sorry for taking up all your time.

It was unintentional.

Uh...

No, no, no, he didn't mean that.

Do you have another copy?

Is this a joke?

No, no.

This is not funny.

Not cartoons are supposed to be funny.

Castle, you want to fight Avery?

Your tiny form is unmatched.

We'll tie you in legal loopholes.

We'll bury you in paperwork.

I'll put a dozen of my best lawyers in this 24 hours a day

to make sure your name is more synonymous with failure than it already is.

Oh, and I almost forgot.

We don't validate parking.

Do you know what you could do with $50,000?

Do you have any idea how many birds you could buy with that?

Flocks!

You know what? Not that it really matters, but I'm out.

Yeah, that's right. I've quit, man.

Go find another lawyer.

This is already my personal freaking nightmare,

and I'm not sticking around to see if it can get any worse.

Sorry.

Butterfingers.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Why didn't you settle?

That's what we do here.

We settle.

Dottie, what do we do here?

We settle.

Okay, I tried to settle, but he wouldn't let me settle.

He's a coyote.

We're not even trial lawyers.

I have a miniature golf tournament this weekend,

so I don't even know if I'm gonna make it in on Monday.

Plus, trial prep adds up.

Photocopies and this economy.

But if we beat Acme, then we can afford a ton of photocopies.

We won't beat Acme.

I mean, nobody ever has, and nobody ever will.

The truth is, even if you quit right now,

the firm is already in the hole for Acme's legal fees, and that's just from today.

I mean, that could close down our doors.

Look, if we lose, we lose.

If we quit, we really lose.

A lot of money.

Okay, okay, okay, look, look.

We got one true goal for this trial.

It's this.

We can't look like fools, all right?

Our job is not to win this case.

Our job is to still be in business when it's over.

That's the spirit.

Let's act like lawyers.

What do real lawyers do?

They would find evidence and start making a list of witnesses.

The bird.

He did witness every time an Acme product malfunctioned.

He could corroborate Wiley's story.

Sure, whatever.

Add the Roadrunner to our witness list.

One more thing.

Where is Mr. Coyote going to stay?

♪ I've been so long in this old town ♪

♪ I've tried my best to settle down ♪

♪ But deep within the soul of me ♪

♪ I know I must be free ♪

All right, don't give me that look.

Yeah, I live in a motel.

Look, I got pool access.

You know, there's no mortgage.

I never have to make my bed.

There's an incredible all-you-can-eat seafood buffet around the corner.

Tissues come out of a slugger in the bathroom wall.

Stop that.

Hi, Jerry.

Yeah?

Yeah, um...

One... one second.

Stop.

Come on.

Yeah, hi.

I, uh, need another room for a few nights.

Not near me, please.

He's not a pet.

He looks like a pet.

Who rents a separate room for their pets?

Jerry, come on.

I've been living here for almost five years.

You know me.

No pets.

All right, okay.

You want to do this?

Legally speaking, a pet is a domesticated or tamed animal

kept as a companion in or outside an individual's residence.

This is Mr. Coyote.

He is my client.

He's not my pet nor anyone's pet in the eyes of the law.

And as such, that sign or any rule that

accompanies it does not apply to him, all right?

It does not say "no animals.

"And just my unbiased opinion, he may actually

have a case against you for discrimination.

Yeah.

Your pee is on the rug.

It's on you.

All right, deal.

But I would need a full workup of urine analysis.

I mean, it's a motel.

Plenty of people pee on the rug.

Hey!

Oh, right next door.

Of course.

Hey!

Coming up next, a mouse breaks the sound barrier in Guadalajara.

One week more to catch Albuquerque's annual carrot festival while it's still in town.

Are you having fun?

We are.

What?

You're kind of a psychopath, aren't you?

Watch and learn.

So we take the subpoena like so, just cover it with copious amounts of bird seed,

Roadrunner eats the bird seed, grabs a subpoena, and

boom, he's legally obligated to show up to court.

Instant Roadrunner trap.

Beep beep.

Is there some kind of inside thing with you guys?

Is everyone clear on our plan?

No.

Yes.

Paige, what's our plan?

So we have to prove to a jury that Acne Cartoon products are

at fault for every accident that Wiley's had going back years.

So we are going to take pictures, and we're going to gather evidence,

and we're going to put the evidence in little bags,

and we're going to interview experts and witnesses,

and we're going to highlight big books of photocopied documents,

and we're going to pound the pavement, and we're going to study up,

and we're going to try and catch our big

eyewitness by leaving a nice note in the desert.

And if we follow my plan by the end of this,

we'll have enough evidence to take Acne down.

We really have nothing.

I mean, I kind of assumed that we'd have nothing, but this is nothing.

All rise.

The court of the Second Judicial Circuit of Albuquerque is now in session.

The honorable Judge Tropicroso presided.

You may be seated.

Human.

Human.

Quiet!

My name is Judge Tropicroso.

The name of the case is Coyote versus Acne.

I am not a loosey-goosey judge.

I am a no-nonsense, no-silly-stuff judge.

Is that understood?

Yes.

Mr. Crane, go get some.

You live in a great country, don't we?

Because it's one that values freedom above all else.

You're free to live your life any way you see fit.

Could mean living in the desert, out in a cave,

spending your days chasing after a bird, who is much, much faster than you.

But that... that is your right as an American.

But that freedom, it comes with great responsibility.

If you were to take a missile, for instance, and you were

to glue handlebars to it, well, that's... that's your choice.

But we expect you to understand that that missile

and those handlebars, they aren't designed to catch birds.

What I will prove to this jury is that, man.

Wile E. Coyote, he is reckless.

And all of his injuries are self-inflicted.

I mean, we won't condemn him, you or I.

We all know who's responsible.

It's as clear as the desert sky.

I think I just laid an egg.

God bless America. God bless the troops.

Damn, that was really good.

Oh, uh, please don't write that down.

And... and please don't write that down.

Or... or that down.

Mr. Avery.

Um, hi.

Now, uh, now, what... what did the, uh, defense say we were gonna argue?

Huh?

I mean, I... I know the answer to it.

I know the answer.

I'm not asking you a question.

I mean, it is... it is a question.

But it's a question that I'm asking to me.

Let me start over. Let me start over.

Objection to my start.

So the defense said that we were gonna argue that, uh, the products are dangerous

and that acne is negligent in, uh, selling them.

I... I do really agree with all that.

I mean, it's not fancy, but it's true.

Um, if... uh, sorry.

One second, please.

One... Wiley, we don't need evidence right now.

Mr. Avery.

Okay, okay.

Excuse me, Your Honor.

My client would like me to show you this defective Acme Rocketscape.

And as you can see, there's a faulty on switch.

Nothing.

God bless America.

God bless the troops.

Opening arguments today in Coyote v. Acme.

Sources close to the case report that Acme is doing a fantastic job

protecting their brand and dignity, while the plaintiff appears hungry and afraid.

More after this.

One week more to catch Al McCurkey's annual carrot festival while it's still in town.

Yeah?

241, we've been getting noise complaints about a loud TV.

Seriously?

It's the TV you're having a problem with.

Okay, we'll turn...

Are you having fun?

We are...

Jerry, I turned it off.

What's up, Doc?

Who's this?

I, uh, can't tell you.

I want to, but I can't.

Uh, Pickle, name it.

You sure you have the right number?

Your trial.

I think I may be able to help you with Acme.

What?

I have information that could stop Acme for good.

Oh, my God, you could stop this case?

If this gets out, it'll all be over.

I have an associate with information.

If they figure out what he knows, he's a sitting duck.

Well, who?

Where do I find him?

Write this down.

I'm only gonna say it once.

Okay, okay, okay.

Grabbing a pen.

Hang on, hang on.

666 Scary Road Drive.

That doesn't sound like a place I want to go.

Look for a jack.

Acme has ears and eyes and ears everywhere.

And they make people disappear.

Don't forget that.

I won't.

Will I be able to contact you again?

Mr. Leghorn.

Buddy, I say buddy, you little rascal, you.

I was born for it.

The tax haven's so nice, they named it twice.

So I say I heard we have ourselves a lawsuit in the animated sector.

Talks PR about this, you know, it's a local paper and pretty flattering.

You know, I'm gonna win this case as fast as I can,

but in the meantime, I think things like this

make us look pretty good in the public eye.

Not ideal, but, you know, it's like killing two birds with a...

Uh... One stone.

Two birds, one stone.

What a vile expression.

I only... Rotten.

We both know it would be very... I say very unpleasant for everyone involved

if anything bigger... I say bigger... were to become public.

Oh, mysterious collars.

It's so cool.

So what did he sound like?

I don't know, he was kind of like, "Eh, what's up, Doc? I have information.

"Chomp, chomp, chomp.

He was like chewing on a cracker or something.

Okay.

Well, map is saying it should be right here.

It's just a wall.

Jack?

Good.

Is there a Jack anywhere?

Wait.

What's that?

Oh, that kind of Jack.

He's got a sense of humor.

Well, there's a duck, and he is sitting.

Feels a bit easy.

Well, good thing I like easy.

Excuse me.

Hi, my name is Kevin Avery.

This is Paige.

I'm a personal injury attorney.

Well, look who decided to show up.

Oh, great. Thank you.

I wasn't sure if you knew we were coming.

You're a little late, and you're still wearing that hideous suit.

Take your pants off right over there, please, and, um, strike a pose.

Uh, no.

It's so difficult to find nude models these days.

Sit down.

Uh... Vasparilla?

We're all right, thank you.

Just take your robe and pretend you're thinking.

I expect this is going to take a few hours.

Yeah, um, we had an anonymous caller say

that you might have some important information.

Yeah, information that can help us enter a case quickly.

Information?

Yes.

About Acme?

Acme?

Uh, yes.

Acme.

Acme?

Acme?

After all this, they call me staffy?

The world is staffy!

Acme, ac-you!

You'll never get it out of me!

I'll tell you everything.

Your face is covered in Acme!

Whatever you need to know about Acme is inside the box!

Mr. Duck! Mr. Duck!

He really shouldn't be here.

I agree, Doctor.

Let's tear this facility to the ground!

Hello?

I'm here for the, uh, pants-less modeling gig.

Look, I'm a horse!

I'm a horse!

Boy!

Boy!

What are you doing?

I'm on it!

The water's freezing!

Well, we drove 'em crazy, and we got a can of paint.

Well, it could be important.

Clearly he's been holding onto this for a while, so... Wait.

That's all, folks.

Are we the folks?

Do you think we're gonna get kidnapped?

Held for ransom?

I feel so alive.

So what do you think it is?

Thanks.

That looks unspeakably dangerous.

And yet he walked in anyway.

Wait, what are you doing?

I'm following Wiley.

I just look like a loser if I stay out here.

Coming into the tunnel.

Hello?

I bet they don't tell you to walk down mysterious

tunnels in your fancy classes at Oxford.

I bet they discourage you, actually.

Actually, I thought about majoring in mysterious tunnels.

No, you didn't.

Yeah, I did.

What do we got here?

Hey, I found a message.

What does it say?

It says, "Daffy, I'm not sure how long I have.

I hope this message gets to you.

You must have gone awry with Project Sisyphus.

Sisyphus.

What is Project Sisyphus?

Acme is watching my every move, and I have a feeling I'm in grave danger.

If you see this message, please send help.

Dr. Laurie.

Kevin!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Oh.

Did I not say "unspeakably dangerous"?

Didn't I say those exact words?

No.

I did.

Okay, what could this mean?

Project Sisyphus.

I don't know.

I don't know.

All right.

What?

Oh.

What just happened?

What?

Boss, I think they're on to us.

Okay, so Sisyphus is from Greek mythology, and he was punished by the gods

and made to roll a boulder up a hill every day,

but it would just roll right back down for eternity.

Huh.

And it was also at Daphne was pain-taped.

So what?

That's not evidence.

None of this is going to help us win a trial.

All right, this is... it's all just a waste of our time.

We have a client who, no offense, can't read a warning label.

We have piles and piles of stuff that he himself broke.

We have nothing, Paige.

You've been settling acme cases for years,

and you have never stopped to think and see a pattern.

A pattern?

Yes.

My clients go boom, and two seconds later, they're fine.

Nobody cares.

So that makes it okay?

Boom, $100, that's fair?

This case can make it, right?

This is your opportunity to really show people what you're capable of.

Yeah, but that only works if I don't lose.

And why do you assume you're gonna lose?

Are you kidding?

It is really super easy to lose.

It was better you learn that now.

You know, everyone thought I was crazy for coming here,

but I didn't want to just go to some big law firm and help the rich guys get richer.

I thought... I thought you were actually still a real lawyer.

Yeah, me too.

So, uh, what is it about the Roadrunner?

There are no words.

I envy you, really.

It must be nice to have such a clear goal.

I mean, I used to have that, I think.

I was hungry and I was chasing,

but I didn't like the pressure of having to always win.

I got burnt out on trying.

Anyway, you're a really good listener.

What are you doing?

Stop!

My lane!

Stop! Stop!

There's a trap!

Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!

We were having a heart-to-heart!

Wait, Wiley!

You can't make that jump!

Wiley!

Wiley!

You made it.

Well, you go a long way to make a point.

Hey, Wiley.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Are you sitting down?

Uh, yes.

Well, Sal's not.

Is that going to be a problem?

Wiley is conning us.

The only reason he's doing this case is to

catch and kill the Roadrunner during the trial.

That's not good.

It's all just part of a plot.

He's using us to put the bird on the witness stand.

If the Roadrunner shows up to court, it'll be chaos.

I'll look like a fool.

If the firm will fold, we'll be mattress salesmen.

That's kind of demeaning to mattress salesmen.

Fine.

We'll be garbage men.

Kevin.

Okay, garbage people.

My dad's garbage people.

Okay, I'm just really nervous about letting Wiley back into this courtroom.

Without Wiley, there's no trial.

With no trial, there's no firm.

And without the firm, we're going to be broke.

I hate to suggest lying to a dog, but you're going to

have to convince him that the Roadrunner will be there.

Paige, I was wrong.

See what you can find out about Project Sisyphus.

And how it's connected to Acme.

Great. I'm already on it.

Okay.

I'm not sure I understand.

What was it all for?

They weren't inventing products for cartoons.

They were using cartoons to invent products.

Dr. Lorry told them this was wrong and that their tests were harmful to cartoons.

He pleaded with them to put an end to it.

But instead,

they put an end to him.

Everyone who worked on Project Sisyphus' either mission

were forced to work for ACME or quacked.

And when did the program end?

Don't you see?

It never ended.

It evolved.

Instead of testing dangerous products in the

lab, they let them out into the real world.

Yes.

Wily's rocket skates, they were designed to backfire.

Now you're getting it.

The more something breaks, the more a cartoon gets hurt,

the more data to make better ACME products for humans.

Exactly, exactly.

Wily, you're what they call a, uh, a high usage user.

They let you boom and splat and bang for years and years, knowing full well the toll.

Would you testify to this in court?

The world needs to hear this.

No, no, no.

You need someone on the inside to spill the beans.

Get the head of PR at ACME to testify.

He's a master of spin.

His name is... Uh-oh.

That's my cue.

I think they got him.

Uh, they didn't.

Hey, uh, if anyone asks, tell 'em your

informant was a little hunter with a funny hat.

We're all counting on you.

Bye.

Yeah, that's great.

No one's gonna get through that door.

Any added security is great.

Will you tell us your role at ACME for the record?

Easy, easy.

Um... Okay, great.

He says anything wrong, we get him out of here.

Done.

And, uh, what does your role as PR representative entail?

Well, what is easy?

ACME.

So you have authority to speak for ACME.

What can you tell us about Project Sisyphus?

Mr. Devil, what is Project Sisyphus?

May I remind you, you are under oath.

Objection?

Uh... Counselors, approach the bench.

This case is turning my courtroom into a circus.

They just ejected my witness.

We don't know that.

I... Good degree, Moyer.

I'd like to file a motion to exclude all evidence submitted by the prosecution.

Save the original pair of rocket skates.

All else is overreaching.

Motion granted.

Are you kidding?

Thank you, Your Honor.

Now, in response, I'd like to file a motion for dismissal due to lack of evidence.

Motion granted.

I'm tired of all this bunk.

You're not allowed to say that.

That's the beauty of being a judge.

I can say whatever I want.

Mistrial, there.

I said it.

Case dismissed.

Case dismissed.

I have a comment.

What happened in there was a miscarriage of justice, but it was not a surprise.

The Acme Corporation has knowingly been putting dangerous

products into the hands of cartoons for decades.

Acme has gone to great lengths to cover up an

insidious plot that they call Project Sisyphus.

They have threatened the safety of myself and my clients.

Look, bombs, boulders, pianos, they will stop at nothing.

But myself and my associates, we will keep fighting.

I mean, these... these companies think they can do whatever they want

and get away with all of it, because they do.

We're sick of it, and it stops now.

So we're getting ready to launch a... a... a...

Excuse me.

Uh, moment.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Wiley!

More chaos in court today after the Acme trial was dismissed

by the very fair and honorable Judge Tropo Grosso.

The plaintiffs made their objections known by wrestling a 6-foot cartoon rocket.

It's all good.

Nothing to see here.

Is that your car?

Hey, Paige.

Have you seen?

What?

Your speech.

It's the number-one trending news item in the country right now.

It... it's everywhere.

What?

They... they like my speech?

Well, and the car exploding, I... I think is a part of it.

Mr. Avery.

Mr. Avery.

Mr. Avery.

Mr. Avery.

I gotta go.

Mr. Avery. Mr. Avery.

Any comment on Congress agreeing to hear your case?

Uh, uh, Congress?

Thoughts on Foghorn Leghorn agreeing to testify.

No, did you say Congress?

They're putting acne under the microscope.

You're going to D.C.

We're going to D.C.?

We're going to D.C.

Uh, okay, well, uh, no... no comment.

Mr. Avery. Mr. Avery.

Mr. Avery.

Wait.

Where are you going?

What?

Wiley, no, you can't go.

I need you in D.C.

I mean, this is the big showdown.

If you're gonna show up, there's no hearing.

This whole thing will have been for nothing.

Uh, the Roadrunner will be there.

Yeah, of course.

He'll be there.

Yeah, he's coming.

I... I... I promise.

So come on.

What do you say?

I mean, the whole world will be watching.

And he'll be there.

All right, Finn, come on.

Let's go.

Whoa!

Mr. Avery. Mr. Avery.

How's the water?

What initially seemed to be a case of routine product malfunction

has turned into a David versus Goliath tale as old as time.

Would like to wish our furry little friend good luck in D.C.

We're rooting for you, Wiley.

And we always were from day one.

When a company is this successful, there's always someone looking to tear it down.

But our hands are clean.

Flight attendants, prepare for landing.

Sorry about that initial wrong turn around of Albuquerque, folks.

This is it.

No more warnings.

I don't care if you kidnap him, run him out of town, or throw him down a hole.

Wiley Coyote will not be at the hearing tomorrow.

Are we clear?

Yes, boss. We'll clear.

Please be quiet.

Wiley, please be quiet.

Look, I promise you, what I have to do is more important than what you have to do.

There's been a change of plans.

The... He... He couldn't make it, right?

Okay, fine.

You think I would drag the Road Runner out here

so you could destroy me in front of the entire world?

Yeah, I know you just wanted him in that

courtroom so you could catch him and eat him.

So why would I help you do that?

Okay, yeah, I lied. I lied.

I needed you to stay with this case.

But you know what? You lied to me.

Huh? You misled me.

You made me think that this case was about something.

And... And it is!

You know, this is way bigger than the Road Runner.

You're not even processed what the rabbit said.

You're a high-usage user.

I mean, look at all this stuff.

You're addictive.

Every explosion, every time you fell to the bottom of a canyon, Acme wanted that.

You know, I changed around my whole life for you, my entire routine.

Probably all gonna blow up in my face because you wanted a drumstick.

Oh, myself?

You have only cared about your plan this entire time.

Oh, the Road Runner, the Road Runner.

I'm so sick of this Road Runner.

You're never gonna catch him!

Okay?

You just... You... You really aren't.

Just stop trying.

Yeah?

Hey, Kev. Look, I didn't want to have to tell you this

right before the hearing, but, um... we've spent every last cent on this trial.

We're out of money.

So, what does that mean?

It means unless there's some kind of miracle,

there's not gonna be a firm to come back to.

I made you guys appointments to donate plasma next week.

I can't go.

I don't want to put this kind of pressure on you.

We just thought you should know.

Okay.

Damn it.

You missed!

Wiley!

Wiley!

Oh, boy.

Wiley!

Grab my hand!

I'm trying to save you!

Over here!

Uh-oh.

Look, Wiley, I'm sorry!

I made a mistake!

Hey, wait! Wait, Wiley!

Oh, no. Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

Uh, what is the holdup?

He's in the bathroom.

Looks like you had a rough night, huh?

Oh, thanks for your believable concern.

Come on. Do you really want to go out there?

I mean, with those cameras?

No pressure?

What is this?

It's everything you ever wanted.

Freedom from responsibility.

That's no strings attached.

That is under the table. That's for you.

All you got to do is walk out this door right now.

I mean, come on.

You really want to just keep doing the same thing over and over again?

Try, fail, try, fail, expecting a different result?

I just realized that, uh, yeah, I do.

You get the gist.

Oh, my God. You look like a stuntman.

Is Wiley here? He's not with you?

I haven't seen him since we were going 80 miles

an hour on the highway strapped to a refrigerator.

What the hell? I thought you guys were in the hotel room next to me.

You feel so left out.

I really screwed up.

He knows the roadrunner's not coming.

He knows I lied.

Oh, I'm a jerk.

I should have been honest with him.

It just seemed easier.

Mr. Avewey, thank you for joining us today.

We are here to determine whether or not Acme products are a danger to society.

Where is your client?

I'm, uh, not entirely sure, to be honest.

Senator Food, the fact that Mr. Coyote hasn't deemed it necessary

to grace us with his presence at the scheduled time

should tell you all you need to know about his character.

Hmm. I think this does tell us a lot.

Look, my client has a long history with Acme.

He's been using their products... sorry, products... for decades.

Why is that, if they're so... dangerous?

Well, he doesn't have a choice, really.

Acme has a monopoly over all the tools required for Mr. Coyote's work.

His work? I have here that he's unemployed and living in a cave.

It's true.

It's true. It's a fact.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Pursuant to Sylvester V.

Gonzalez, "Chased by Predator" is a legal occupation under the law.

He may not get a salary, but he works.

In fact, he's one of the most hard-working people I've ever met.

And he's brave.

He will walk out onto the tiniest rope over the largest canyon.

He'll straddle a rocket that he's glued handlebars to without batting an eye.

I mean... oh, uh... Sorry.

Uh... Look, when Mr. Coyote first walked into my office,

I was the laziest person you could ever imagine.

I didn't want to work.

I didn't want to try anything.

'Cause deep down, I didn't want to fail.

But he's not afraid of that.

No matter what happens, he picks himself up,

he tries again and again and again and again.

He would never think of quitting.

He wakes up every morning with purpose and with hope.

And I think everyone should be inspired by that.

I know I am.

You don't need signs anymore.

Thank you for coming back.

Mr. Waghorn, thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule.

Now we've requested that Mr. Averwey ask you a few questions today.

I've been studying this guy in interviews.

He's a blowhard with a huge ego.

Here I am, son.

All right. I can work with that.

Mr. Leghorn, are you aware of the ACME program known as Project Sisyphus?

I am familiar with the name.

Okay. And how would you explain the type of program that it is to this committee?

Why, it's one of research and development.

Great. So you're constantly innovating your cartoon product line to make it better?

Yes, son.

Okay. That makes sense.

But if you're studying these products so closely,

why are they malfunctioning so frequently?

That sounds like something you might tinker with.

Well, son, business is complex.

Okay. Now does any of the information that you get from

Project Sisyphus go into developing the human line?

Sure.

Sure? Okay. So you admit it. He just admitted it. Did you hear that? He admitted it.

You're intentionally giving dangerous products to cartoons,

willfully causing pain to millions in this process?

Do you think progress isn't worth a little pain, a little discomfort?

It is, son. It always has been.

And besides, nothing we've done today or any

other day is illegal. Isn't that right, Mr. Crane?

Absolutely. Absolutely.

The law is completely on our side here, and so

is the popular opinion of the Sonoma Jordan.

Thank you, Mr. Crane.

Mr. Leckhorn.

And another thing. Take a seat, son.

I'm asking the questions here.

Take a seat, son.

There's nothing cuter than this, prosecutor.

I am reminded of my days as a little rooster on the

poultry farm, where I learned a valuable lesson.

Cartoons are resilient.

Hit us with a ballot. Throw us off a cliff. We can take it.

Speaking as a cartoon, I think it can even be a little bit funny. Am I right?

So what's a little pain for the greater good?

Pain is a part of life, and it's valuable.

You like that comfortable rubber in those shoes there, don't you, son?

Well, that's Goody Pree. We developed it by bouncing

it one million times off the face of a cartoon.

Those tornado pills became jet propellers.

That high-speed tonic got us to the moon.

So yes, yes, our cartoon products sometimes do explode.

Sometimes they do backfire.

Sometimes they push the boundaries of gravity and science.

But do you all want to live in a world without noon? Without progress?

Now, what is it you always say, Mr. Crane?

You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

Well, that's right.

And in this case, if that egg is some lowlife, cave-dwelling

desert dog with no connections, no family, no

friends, I'm sorry, but so be it. No harm, no foul.

That is not an accurate depiction of my client.

Well, I was under the impression that no one

would speak on his behalf apart from his lawyer.

Is there anyone in the whole wide world who cares what happens to the coyote at all?

Are you familiar with a Mr. Wily coyote?

Beep, beep.

Have you witnessed Mr. Coyote using any acne

products while in your presence in the desert?

Beep, beep.

Have those products always failed?

Beep, beep.

Mr. Runner, have you been a witness to Mr. Coyote's pain and suffering?

Beep, beep.

Yeah, me too.

Would you call him a friend?

Beep, beep.

Well, thank you, Mr. Runner.

Thank you for coming here today.

Did you have something additional you'd like to say?

Beep, beep.

All right, the floor is yours to add to the record.
