Boundin' (2003) Movie Script
1
[man] Here's a story on how strange
is life with its changes
and it happened not long ago.
On a high mountain plain
where the sagebrush arranges
a playground south of the snow
lived a lamb with a coat
of remarkable sheen.
It would glint in the sunlight,
all sparkly and clean.
Such a source of great pride
that it caused him to preen.
And he'd break out
in high-steppin' dance.
He would dance for his neighbours
across the way.
I must say that they
found his dancin' enhancin'
for they'd also join in the play.
[hooting]
[rattling]
[hooting continues]
- [man] Then one day...
- [backfire]
[shearing]
- [thunderclap]
- [car starts]
[twittering]
[laughing continues]
[sniffs]
[man] Then a-boundin' up the slope
came a great American jackalope.
This sage of the sage,
this rare hare of hope
caused to pause and check out the lamb.
Hey, kid, why the mope?
I used to be something,
all covered with fluff,
and I'd dance in the sunlight
and show off my stuff.
Then they hauled me away
in a manner quite rough
and sheared me and dumped me
back here in the buff.
And if that's not enough,
now my friends all laugh at me
'cause they think I look ridiculous,
- funny and pink.
- [laughter]
[all gasp]
Pink? Pink?
Well, what's wrong with pink?
Seems you've got
a pink kink in your think.
Does it matter what colour?
Well, that gets a nope,
be it pink, purple or heliotrope.
Now, sometimes you're up,
and sometimes you're down.
When you find that you're down,
well, just look around.
You still got a body,
good legs and fine feet.
Get your head in the right place,
and hey, you're complete.
Now as for the dancin',
you can do more.
You can reach great heights.
In fact, you can soar.
You just get a leg up
and you slap it on down.
And you'll find you're up
in what's called a bound.
Bound, bound and rebound
Bound and you're up
right next to the sky
And I think you can do it
if you give it a try
First get a leg up, slap it on down.
[man] So every year,
long about May,
- they'd load him up...
- [shearing]
...and they'd haul him away.
And they'd shave him
and dump him all naked and bare.
He learned to live with it.
He didn't care.
He'd just bound, bound,
bound and rebound
[hooting]
[man] Now, in this world
of ups and downs...
[twittering]
...so nice to know
there are jackalopes around.
[giggling]
