[ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] [ 4 ][ 5 ][$10] [ 7 ][ 8 ][ 9 ]
Stacey: It's at #6.Greg: And at six it will stay until someone gets it. We're tied, folks. $25 to $25. Round 2 is coming up. (main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
(for the theater audience....) (an adlibbed scene where I give our Marvel heroes the grand tour of our production facility; Thor and Rocket get in a fight) Groot: I am Groot!Greg: You've said that many times before, we know who you are. Rocket: That's not what he said. He just told us to knock it off.(the gang ends up sitting in at a production meeting) Greg: Now, this is very important. After we finish up the tourney here... (Rocket is drinking a cup of coffee) we're packing everything up and moving to the Connecticut Film Center Studios in Stamford. (Rocket spits out his coffee) Rocket: (in disbelief) STAMFORD!? Why the hell are you taping there? What's wrong with New York?Greg: Because, my little alien mammal friend, Connecticut offers a very generous Film and TV tax credit. If you hadn't noticed, we're in a recession. Besides, a lot of New Yorkers moved there during the pandemic. (Rocket rants some more and gets right in Greg's face) Greg: Would you like for me to throw you around like a ragdoll again, you rodent? (More improvisation)
["Rocket Raccoon" Written as "Ricky Raccoon" by James Turner Rewritten for Marvel by Greg Palmer Performed by Greg Palmer, Bradley Cooper (as Rocket Raccoon), and a group of child actors from the Orlando area Guitar by Alan Parsons] A group of kids is gathered and seated on a mat in an elementary school while three chairs are before them. One chair is for Greg, one is for guitarist Alan Parsons, and the center one is for Rocket. Greg leads the children. "OK, kids. Uncle Alan is going to play the guitar, and we're going to sing 'Rocket Raccoon'." "Don't you mean 'Ricky Raccoon'?" one girl asks. "Ricky Raccoon? Who the hell is he?" Rocket asks back. A black boy takes notice of Rocket's language. "Ooooh, now you're gonna get it. My mom tells me to wash my mouth out with soap whenever I talk like that." Rocket snaps back, "Well, you tell your mommy that nobody puts soap in my mouth. Besides, Rocket ain't even my real name. It's 8-9-P-1-3, thank you very much." "Shut up, trash panda," Greg shoots back before turning to the children. "OK, is everyone ready? Here we go!" "Uncle Alan" starts playing.
Greg: (singing) Out from a distant galaxy There's a foul-mouthed animal looking at me With guns akimbo and a mask on his face, Can anybody guess his name?
Kids: (singing) Rocket Raccoon.
Rocket: (spoken) No shit. (No kidding in the radio/soundtrack version)
Greg/Kids: (singing)
Roc-Roc-Roc-Rocket Rocket Raccoon. Roc-Roc-Roc-Rocket Rocket Raccoon.
Greg: (singing) He likes to shoot everything within his sight. His best friend is a tree, but that's alright. He's got a cute little nose and a dirty little mouth, Does anybody know his name?
Kids: (singing) Rocket Raccoon.
Rocket: (spoken) That's my name, don't wear it out
Greg/Kids: (singing)
Roc-Roc-Roc-Rocket Rocket Raccoon. Roc-Roc-Roc-Rocket Rocket Raccoon.
Rocket explains himself to the kids during the middle eight. "I'm a genetically modified raccoon. I didn't ask to get made! I didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together over and over and turned into some... some little monster! That's why I joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. We're all freaks, in some way. And you know, you're all freaks, too!" The kids don't seem to mind. Rocket is surprised. "Wait, what's the matter with you people? Are you saying you actually like me?" "Yeah, Rocket, this could be your theme song," Greg notes. Rocket begins to like the idea.
Greg: (singing) Out from a distant galaxy There's a foul-mouthed animal looking at me With guns akimbo and a mask on his face...
Rocket: (shouted) Does anybody know my name!?
Kids: (singing) Rocket Raccoon.
Rocket: (shouted) OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Rocket starts strutting around the place.
Greg/Kids: (singing)
Roc-Roc-Roc-Rocket Rocket Raccoon. Roc-Roc-Roc-Rocket Rocket Raccoon.
As Alan plays the last chord, the kids cheer and Rocket takes a bow.

(audience laughs, but they quickly stop when Elsa casts a spell; smoke forms around Greg and suddenly, he becomes an ice statue) Steve: Aww come on, Else. That was a joke. He didn't mean anything by it. Please change him back.Elsa: Oh, alright. (just as suddenly, Greg returns to normal; he shivers) Greg: Brrrrr! Talk about giving me the cold--- Steve: No more ice jokes. (audience laughs) Greg: Oh, alright. Frank, I know how many man-made lakes there are in Oklahoma. Would you be interested in this boat?
