''{Open on Crack Stuntman standing against a bluish-gray background. Music plays.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Blah-hi, kids, BLAH'm Crack Stuntman. ''{places hand on chest}'' I used to do the voice of ''{holds up one finger}'' Cheat Commander on the cartoon man show until contractual mumbo-jumbo ''{annoyed, speaks rapidly}'' screwed me out of the sweetest gig I ever had! ''{suddenly pleading}'' Please take me back!

''{Cut}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{smiling}'' But I'm also the voice of a much more important non-profit organization called—''{shocked and mad, the music stops with a record scratch}'' ''Non-profit?!'' ''{shakes fist}'' What the bluh-what?! ''{faces offscreen, places hand on chest}'' But ''I'm'' still get paid, right?

''{Cut}''

''{Crack is now wearing expensive, jewel-encrusted sunglasses, and his shirt pocket is stuffed with dollar bills}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' But I'm also the voice of a non-profit organization called Pistols for Pandas, ''{Pistols for Pandas logo appears to his left, Crack looks towards the logo and places his hand on his chest}'' that I hold very near and dear to my new sunglasses. ''{points to sunglasses, which sparkle}''

''{Crack turns, and scene changes}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' In light of the recent, made-up holiday ''{a card for "ERF DAY" featuring a green Earth appears}'' designed to make your parents feel guilty about their car, ''{the logo slides offscreen}'' I thought I'd tell you just how P-for-P ''{two handguns appear and eventually turn into the Pistols for Pandas logo}'' gets small firearms into the paws of our planet's ''{raises finger}'' most adorable, and ''{the Pistols for Pandas logo turns to face Crack}'' most unarmed, creatures.

''{Scene changes to stick-figure drawings. One has a baseball cap on, the other's head is Crack's. A one dollar bill appears in the hand of the boy, who then presents it to Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' For every dollar you give to Pistols for Pandas, ''{Crack laughs; people are heard laughing in the background (although Crack himself is not)}'' we laugh at, 'cause, like, what good's a dollar gonna do?

''{Crack produces a lighter and burns the dollar bill. The boy looks down, ashamed. The scene changes to a different scene of the boy and Crack. A five dollar bill appears in the boy's hand, and he then presents it to Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' But for every ''five'' dollars you give, ''{Crack smiles and takes the money. We pan right and Crack gives the money to another stick-figure, this time wearing an apron reading "grōsh"}'' we buy one box of cereal ''{the "grosher" raises his arm and the five dollar note transforms into a box of "Prize-O's". Crack smiles and dances}'' with the best prize in it.

''{The scene changes to show Crack Stuntman, with the Pistol for Pandas logo on his chest. His mouth slowly opens to reveal the cereal box before chewing it.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I eat said cereal, ''{Crack throws a many-legged toy onto the wall, which rolls down the wall towards the floor}'' play with the prize, ''{Crack opens his mouth and removes the box top}'' and save the box top.

''{Scene changes to blank screen. Fifteen box tops appear in a pyramid formation, and are then revealed to be loaded onto a truck reading "5th grade trucking", driven by Crack}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Once we have enough box tops, I dress up like a fifth grader ''{Crack drives the truck into a school}'' and take them to a local school. ''{We zoom out to reveal that the school is being shown on a computer. The school fades}'' That buys the school a computer, ''{Crack is seen sneaking away with the computer}'' which I sneak out with after charming ''{Crack sneaks off-screen. A female schoolteacher wearing glasses enters and moves to the center of the screen, waving her arm and emitting hearts}'' the horn-rimmed glasses off the media center lady. ''{The teacher's glasses fly off}''

''{Scene changes to a stack of five computers. We then zoom out to see that Crack is quickly driving the truck, now loaded with computers and reading "totally legal", into a pawn shop}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I take these computers to a local pawn shop, ''{we zoom in on the pawn shop and the scene changes to Crack, a computer, and a stick-figure with an apron reading "p4wn"}'' and exchange them for the weapons ''{the pawn shopkeeper raises both arms, a cash register is heard, and the computer turns into a pile of pistols. Crack smiles and dances}'' pandas need.

''{Scene changes to a blank screen.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' And finally, ''{Crack briefly peeks in from the left}'' when nobody's looking, ''{Crack sneaks in, holding a bag with a picture of a pistol on it, and makes his way over to a panda habitat at a zoo}'' I dump these pistols into the panda habitat ''{Crack throws the bag into the habitat}'' down at the local zoo.

''{zoom on Crack's face, smiling}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Did you hear that? ''{places hand on chest}'' I used the word "local" like three times. ''{raises arm}'' That means this good cause is even upittier than most! ''{buzzer sound is heard, and a box displaying "Buzzword Rated", followed by three leaves, each containing the word "local", appear on the right side of the screen}''

''{Scene changes to the real Crack Stuntman, wearing his expensive sunglasses and leaning back in a chair. Behind him is a fence, and behind that are some bamboo trees. Bird sounds are heard.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' We're destroying these poor creatures faster than ever before. ''{looks at viewer}'' If we don't give them the means to protect themselves when we come clear-cut ''{raises arm to draw attention to bamboo trees}'' their bamboo forests and build a five-star resort, who will?

''{A tray with a two-layered cocktail on it is brought into view}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{to offscreen waiter, angry and shaking fist}'' ''I'' said several limes! This is ''{raises two fingers}'' ''two'' limes!

''{While this is said, engine noises are heard, and the bamboo trees behind Crack start to slowly lean over. Cut to the Pistols for Pandas logo}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{voiceover; as he speaks, the words appear above the logo}'' Pistols For Pandas: This good cause is good...'cause!

* Click on the panda nose at the end of the toon to see this exchange between Silent Rip and Gunhaver.

''{Gunhaver and Silent Rip are seen firing lasers at two pandas in a bamboo forest.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, Cheat Commander, are we supposed to be fighting the pandas or helping them?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Who cares? ''{close up of Gunhaver}'' I'm just psyched I got my old job back! I love voice acting! ''{babbles}'' Look at that sweet, sweet lip sync.
