Mr. Brave vs. Koko the Gorilla




 * [The scene starts with Mrs. Cage dialling a number on the telephone. Mr. Brave's telephone rings and he picks it up.]
 * Mrs. Cage: Mr. Brave. Is that Mr. Brave? This is Mrs. Cage at the zoo. Something terrible has happened. Koko the giant gorilla has escaped. Please come quickly, we need your help.
 * [Mr. Brave dashes off.]


 * [In the office, Mrs. Cage is walking around the room patintly waiting. A door opens. The camera cuts to Mr. Brave who arrives exhausted at their door.]
 * Mr. Brave: [Panting] Dear... Oh dear.
 * [The phone rings. Mrs. Cage answers it.]
 * Mrs. Cage: What? Don't move. We're coming. [Puts the phone down] They found Koko. He's in Mrs. Green's shop.
 * Mr. Brave: Let's go.
 * [The camera cuts to a road in the town. The road is in a mess and Mrs. Green is seen crying next to Mr. Greedy and Mr. Strong. Mrs. Cage's van parks behind her.]
 * Mr. Strong: We're pleased you're here, Mr. Brave!
 * [Mr. Brave and Mrs. Cage join the group/]
 * Mrs. Cage: Where is he?
 * Mrs. Green: [Upset] Over there. He's turned my shop upside down.
 * Mr. Greedy: Yeah, and he's eaten all the food I bought.
 * Mr. Strong: Mr. Brave. In you go.
 * Mr. Brave: Me? [Realises] Oh. Right. [Smiles and runs into the shop.]
 * Mrs. Cage: [Worried] Be careful. He's dangerous.
 * Mr. Brave: Dangerous? [Laughs it off and stands behind Koko's back.] Now now, who's going to be a good gorilla and go back to his cage quietly?
 * [Koko flicks a finger at Mr. Brave, blowing him back out of the shop. He bangs his head on a lamp-post. Koko forcefully breaks the door open and roars, banging his chest with his fists. Everyone else panics and dashes off while Koko jumps across the road ragefully.]


 * [The next scene takes place at Little Miss Splendid's house. She is doing her make-up.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Tra-la-la. Tra-la-la-la-la la laa. Tra-la-la. Tra-la-la-la-la la.
 * [Koko peeps inside her window and licks his lips with excitement. Meanwhile, everyone else checks on Mr. Brave.]
 * Mrs. Cage: Are you quite alright, Mr. Brave?
 * Mr. Brave: Nervous. Not too bad. Where's Koko?
 * Mr. Greedy: [Worried] He went towards Miss Splendid's house.
 * Mr. Strong and Mr. Greedy: Off you go, Mr. Brave. Good luck Mr. Brave.
 * Mrs. Green: Good luck Mr. Brave. Good Luck.
 * Mr. Brave: Who, me? [Realises] Right!


 * [The group stand outside the van.]
 * Mrs. Cage: Do be careful, Mr. Brave.
 * [He knocks on Miss Splendid's door.]
 * Mr. Brave: Miss Splendid?
 * [He opens the door.]
 * Mr. Brave: It's far too quiet for my liking.
 * Mr. Greedy: [Pointing up to the roof] Look! He's there, on the roof!
 * Mr. Brave: [Opening the roof window.] Hold on, Miss Splendid. I'm coming.
 * [The camera cuts to an angry Koko lifting Miss Splendid on the edge of the rooftop.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Help! Someone!
 * [Mr. Brave looks down, then walks slowly across the roof and points a finger at Koko.]
 * Mr. Brave: Now come on, Koko. Don't be silly. Let Miss Splendid go.
 * [Koko roars and jumps off the roof carrying Miss Splendid. Mr. Brave chases him but screams and falls in a skip full of fruit. He gets up and breathes a sigh of relief. He watches on as Koko takes Little Miss Splendid to the top of another house.]
 * Mr. Brave: You just wait, Koko. [Picks up a banana] I'm not quite finished with you yet!
 * [He chases Koko, who is seen at the top of a tower and standing on the edge of it. Little Miss Splendid looks down at the steep drop.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: Oh my goodness!
 * [Mr. Brave runs inside the bottom of the tower and up the stairs.]
 * Mr. Brave: [Panting] Good thing... I go jogging every morning.
 * [As Koko roars, Mr. Brave arrives at the top of the tower and stops by him holding some bananas.]
 * Mr. Brave: Come on, Koko. It's lunch time.
 * [Koko gets excited and drops Little Miss Splendid, who falls off the tower. The group look up at her and panic.]
 * Mr. Strong: Quickly, Mr. Greedy lie down!
 * [Mr. Greedy quickly lies on his back.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: [While holding on to her hat] My hat! My hair! My boots!
 * [She falls on Mr. Greedy's chest and is caught by Mr. Strong's arms.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: And what about my hat? I hope it's not ruined.
 * Mr. Brave: Well done, Mr. Strong.
 * [Koko roars again. Mr. Brave gets a fright and his hat jumps off his head.]
 * Mr. Brave: Good boy.
 * [He grins and walks backwards over to a banana left at the top of the stairway.]
 * Mr. Brave: Look here. [Pointing at the banana] It's for you.
 * Koko: [Licking his lips] Oohh!
 * Mr. Brave: Oh look, there's another one.
 * [Mr. Brave rushes down the stairs whilst Koko eats the bananas. They both arrive at the bottom of the stairway.]
 * Mr. Brave: They're all for you.
 * [Koko gets excited and dashes off. The camera cuts to the inside of the back of the van where a huge pile of bananas are loaded. Koko jumps inside and eats them one by one. Mr. Brave rushes in and closes the door, trapping Koko inside.]
 * Mr. Brave: So. No hard feelings?
 * Koko: No hard feelings, Mr. Brave. It was jolly good fun but I'd rather be back in the zoo. [They shake hands.] The bananas there are much better.


 * [In the next scene, Little Miss Splendid is pouring juice into all the glasses. She offers a glass to Mr. Brave.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: To my rescuer.
 * [Mr. Strong cheers. Mr. Brave takes the glass from her. They all cheer.]
 * Mr. Strong: Thet was very brave the way you faced up to that gorilla, Mr. Brave.
 * Mr. Brave: It was nothing. All I had to do was... [Screams, drops his glass and runs up to the top of a tree.]
 * Little Miss Splendid: What's wrong, Mr. Brave!
 * Mr. Brave: Spiders. I don't like spiders.
 * [The camera cuts to the spider walking across the table and then to everyone else. They burst out laughing as the screen fades to black and the credits roll.]
