James family

LeBron James

I like to remind myself who I am playing for. My family. And right now, it is all about Dom.

• I am a cartoon.
• What in The Matrix hell?
• [as "Michael Jordan" enters the locker room] Come on, man, that is Michael B. Jordan. The actor.
• Aahhh! I am shorter than Kevin Hart!
• Well, Bugs Bunny, I need to assemble an elite team to help crush this Al-G guy. And I need to do it before that game clock runs down.
• I am Robin?!
• Is that Harry Potter world?
• I have been coaching you all this whole time. Sylvester over here getting the wrong MJ, Granny is out here having a martini on halftime, and Taz might as well be playing for the other team.
• [Sees The Brow from Goon Squad] Dang, what did they do to my boy, AD?
• I like to remind myself who I am playing for. My family. And right now, it's all about Dom.
• [remembering what Dom said to him] "You never let me just… do me."
• Bugs… time to do what you guys do best.
• Dom, your game is amazing, son. But I guess I would have known that if I would have listened more. Sorry I did not. For me, when I was a kid, the things that I went through to get where I am now, I had to be a certain way. [sighs] Yeah, it helped me win games, but not so much being a dad. I am still learning how. You are teaching me. I want you to be yourself. Do you understand how much I love you? Do you understand how important you are to me? How very special you are? I mean, I do not even know if I am saying this right.
• [hugs Dom] I love you too, son.
• [facing the enemy] I do not think so.
• [happily; to Bugs, who ended up in the real world] It is good to see you, buddy.
• Tune Squad on three. One, two, three… [all] Tune Squad!
• [last line] What do you mean, “the whole gang”?

Kamiyah James

You got to win this game and get our son back.

• Like how Dom built a video game. He’s 12 and he built his own game.
• He does not need a coach. He needs his dad.
• [along with Darius and Xosha in the car arrives at the Gate two near the Warner Bros. Studios, Burbank.] Malik, you have zero seconds to tell me where my husband and my son are.
• Dom! Dom!
• I am his mother.
• [to LeBron] You got to win this game and get our son back.

Darius James

• [to Dom] I told you not to bring that out here.
• [about LeBron] How does he do that?

Dominic "Dom" James

• You make me hate basketball.
• You never let me do what I want to do. You never let me just… do me.
• [sadly] My entire character is gone. It is going to take me at least a week to rebuild.
• Dad, what are you doing? We are in the middle of the game.
• Dad…
• Sounds right to me.
• [hugs LeBron] I love you, Dad.
• Mom! Hey, Xosha!
• I got this, Dad.
• [confront the enemy and quits the job to not member of the Goon Squad] I think you want people to fear you more than anything. And I am not about that, Al-G. I am playing with my dad.
• Yeah. I’m actually pretty excited.
• I think I’mma just take a break from video games for now. You know, after we…
• Yeah.
• What are you talking about?
• Thank you, Dad.
• I think I’mma hold onto it.

Xosha James

• Daddy.

Tune Squad

Bugs Bunny

What is up, doc?

• [repeated line; to LeBron] What is up, doc?
• [sighs] Tune World is my home. It is the only place where I can be me, where I belong.
• What brings you to Tune World, doc?
• So, you want me, a talking cartoon bunny, to play with you, an NBA superstar, in a high-stakes basketball game? [to the camera] Sounds awfully familiar.
• [after Al-G changes the Tunes from 2D to 3D] Al-G... THIS MEANS WAR.
• How big are these butts?
• [to Daffy, annoyed, after Al-G says all the Tune will be deleted if they lose] You just could not keep your big beak shut.
• We're getting mercerized!
• You know something? If we are going out, we are going out looney. Let it go, team! All tooney, big Mooney, full looney!
• [greetings to Dom] What is up, Dom?
• Oh, it is on.
• In and out, crossover, step back, [Lola: Bugs, no!] SHOOT! [starts glitching]
• [before he dies and rejuvenates] That is all folks.
• Aw, that is so sweet.

Daffy Duck

• An orphanage. Of course.
• Sam, shoot the ball. [Yosemite Sam literally shoots the ball with his two guns, making the other Looney Tune characters run away. When the smoke clears, Daffy is bill, bullet-riddled, is on the other side of his head] Let is try that again, shall we?
• [sees his new 3D self in a suit] I look expensive.
• Well, that happened.
• I am not a betting duck, but my money is on the other team.
• We need a boost, a pick-me-up. [turns his beak back on his face] A secret weapon.
• [referring to Granny] She knows time is literally on their side, right?
• That no-good despicable son of a glitch!

Lola Bunny

• We'll get your son back. I promise.
• [after being changed into her 3D style] What in the world?
• The Tune Squad does not give up at halftime. The Tune Squad does not give up ever.
• I got you, Bron!
• I got hops! Whoo! [slides across the court]
• [to Dom] Oh, it is so nice to meet you.

Granny

• Can't a lady check her Twitter?
• Oh, do not worry. Time is on our side.
• [referring to Chronos] I am going old-school on his butt.
• Tick-tock. [ages Chronos forward one hundred years]
• [holds a Tune Squad jersey number seven] I made this, just in case.

Elmer Fudd

• [referring to Al-G Rhythm] He is a bad guy.

Speedy Gonzales

• [slow-motion] Arriba!!! Arri-- Mi sombrero! Epa, epa, epa! Neo am not got nothing on me, bro! (Note: "mi sombrero" means "my hat" in Spanish)

Yosemite Sam

• Ooh, you got baggage, lady. I can relate.

Foghorn Leghorn

• [as Al-G changes him into his 3D style] I say, I say, cock-a-doodle-doo… not do that.

Sylvester

• I do not know if this counts as a miracle, but I found Michael Jordan! He was in the audience. I know he can help.

Tweety

• I got her! I got her! [gets squished by Arachnneka] Ohh. She got me.

Wile E Coyote

• [sits on an open cooler] Do not ask.

The Road Runner

• Beep-beep!

Al-G Rhythm

You want to join these losers? You go ahead, Dom, 'cause it's not your game anymore. I am the game! KING KONG AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON ME!!

• [first lines] I've searched far and wide for the perfect partner for this launch, and I've finally found him, LeBron James.
• [sighs] Pete, he’s a family man, an entrepreneur, a social media superstar with millions of fans worldwide. Algorithmically speaking, he’s more than an athlete. He’s a king.
• I know I’m just an algorithm, Pete. That’s precisely why I need King James.
• I’m stuck inside the Serververse. No one knows who I am or what I do. But that all changes today. Because today, Warner Bros. launches the revolutionary technology that I masterminded. Today, it’s my time to shine.
• Welcome, King James. I am the king of this domain.
• Hello. I'm Al-G Rhythm. And as you might have guessed, I'm an algorithm here at Warner Bros. The studio behind all the classics. But now, it's time for our greatest creation yet, Warner 3000. This will revolutionize the entire entertainment industry, and we want you to be on our team, King James. Now, we know you're busy, but we can make it very easy for you. Because our brand new Warner 3000 technology will scan you right into the movies. Oh, it's like looking into a mirror, huh, LeBron? Think about it, Batman vs. LeBron. LeBron of Thrones. LeBron and the Chamber of Secrets. The possibilities are endless. You'll be the king of Warner Bros. That's the power of Warner 3000. Say yes, LeBron, and together, we'll make mind-blowing entertainment forever.
• [furiously] AAH!!! WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS, HUH? REJECTING ME?! HUMILIATING ME?! [calms down] Okay. Alright. I tried bein' a team player, but those days are over. I'm done playin' by everybody else's rules. It is MY game now!
• This is the Warner Bros. Serververse.
• The only way you're getting your son back is if you and I play a little game called basketball.
• Pete, send this clown to the rejects.
• No, Dom. No buts. [in distorted voice] You want your dad to respect you, you beat him in a game of your own creation. Dads don't understand reason, Dom. They understand power. You take the power. You gotta make him respect you. You make him see that you are special.
• Well, if it isn't the old-news Looney Tunes. Looking just as washed up as ever. You know what? I think it's time for an upgrade. [upgrades LeBron and the Looney Tunes into their 3D styles] Oh, they're alive! Alive! Oh, yeah. You're looking sharp, Looney Tunes.
• Let's get some butts in these seats!
• Introducing the Goon Squad!
• Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the first and final Serververse Classic! Oh! Let me tell you what. I know that you are all LeBron's biggest fans. And the King has had a great run, hasn't he? But that's over. That's done now. And it is time for a new king to take the throne! So let's lay down some basic rules. If King James wins, you all get to back to your regular, boring lives. But if my team wins, you all get to stay with me in the Serververse forever! How 'bout that, huh? Oh, yeah. Didn't see that coming, did you? Oh, boy. Oh, and I almost forgot, all of the Tunes will be deleted, so, pfft!
• Road Runner Smoke Screen!
• Lose control!
• Are you serious? Make a call, Pete! Oh, you wanna swallow your whistle? [grabs a chair throws to Pete swallow the whistle] Yeah! How'd that taste? Now call the game!
• [as Granny beats Chronos] What in the AARP is going out here?
• Hey, Dom! Are you a Tune or are you a Goon? Tune or Goon? Tune or Goon? Make up your mind. Make up your mind. Let's go. Sit down.
• Everyone happy, huh? Everybody - Everybody having a good time? Yeah? You having a lot of fun out there? 'Cause that's all what matters, right? Is that you're having fun? [yelling] THAT DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL! WHAT MATTERS THAT I WIN THIS [beep] GAME!! Oh, and you, Dom! HOW are you losing at your OWN game? [in distorted voice] FOR SERVER'S SAKE, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE! I expected a LOT more out of you, son! Get your head in the game! I need to WIN!!!
• [in normal voice] Yeah. Maybe your dad was right about you. Letting you be you was a mistake.
• Let's all sit on the bench!
• Are you serious? [holding the ball] [in distorted voice] ZIP IT! [looks at LeBron and Dom] You two are a joke, you know that?
• Oh, what? You got something to say?
• First of all, it's Mr. Rhythm to you, you little traitor. Second of all, you're not. You're playing against your dad. See what this says? “Goon Squad.” You already made your choice, Dom. Right, Pete? He can't… [see Pete whimpering] Pete, are you crying? [Pete wipe the tear in his eye] There's no crying in the Serververse, Pete! [scoffs, Dom walk backs away and joining the Tune Squad] All right. Yeah, all right. I see how it is, Dom. [in distorted voice] I see how it is. I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!!
• Fine!
• You want to join these losers? You go ahead, Dom. 'Cause it's not your game anymore, [in distorted voice] I am the game! KING KONG ARE NOT GOT NOTHING ON ME!!
• Yo, King! You're about to lose your family, your friends, those Tunes, and everything you love.
• That's cute. But I thought I told you. [snaps his fingers, forcing the ball out the net to take points away from the Tune Squad] It's my game now.
• Sic 'em, Goons.
• Incoming! Whoo! I'm a monster! We about to break the internet, baby! It's over!
• Whoa! Where my Goons at?
• No mercy!
• Yeah, this is fun, huh? We should just do it again and again and again. Just over and over and over for all eternity. How's that sound?
• That's cheating!
• Great. Posterized.
• [last words] Oh, this is not how I wanted to go out!

Others

• White Mamba: What's up?
• Wet Fire: Gimme that ball, rabbit!
• Arachnneka: Eat that, eat that, eat that, eat that.
• The Brow: [confronts Tweety] Yeah. Bird versus baby bird.
• Chronos: [when Dame Time comes around] It's the King Stomper!
• Ernie Johnson Jr.: Looks like Wile E's gotten himself mixed up in the machine.
• Lil Rel Howery: Yes, I never doubted you for a second, LeBron! We are goin' home! [he and Ernie get teleported] Thank you so much! You are the Akron Hammer, the Chosen One! King James, man! [LeBron's followers get teleported too] I love you! [he cries joyfully] We going home!
• Marvin the Martian: I claim this planet in the name of Mars!
• Fred Flintstone: Yabba Dabba Doo!
• Yogi Bear: Hey, Boo-Boo!

Dialogue

[Later that night, Kamiyah talks with LeBron about Dom.]

Kamiyah James: We talked about you affirming Dom more. Spending some unstructured time with him.

LeBron James: We was just outside. I mean, how much more spontaneous do you want me to be?

Kamiyah James: Babe, I am worried that you are pushing him too hard.

LeBron James: I mean, the kid keep telling me he want the best coaching so he can be the best player on the court.

Kamiyah James: Have you thought about talking to your son about something other than basketball?

LeBron James: Like what?

Kamiyah James: [sighs] Like how Dom built a video game. He’s 12 and he built his own game.

LeBron James: Yeah, I know. I mean, that’s great. I mean, but if I don’t push him, if I don’t stay on him, all the distractions…

Kamiyah James: He doesn’t need a coach. He needs his dad.

Al-G Rhythm: I’ve searched far and wide for the perfect partner for this launch, and I’ve finally found him, LeBron James.

Pete: [cooing]

Al-G Rhythm: [sighs] Pete, he’s a family man, an entrepreneur, a social media superstar with millions of fans worldwide. Algorithmically speaking, he’s more than an athlete. He’s a king.

Pete: Hmm? [babbles]

Al-G Rhythm: I know I’m just an algorithm, Pete. That’s precisely why I need King James. [Pete nods and he looks towards the view of the Serververse] I’m stuck inside the Serververse. No one knows who I am or what I do. But that all changes today. Because today, Warner Bros. launches the revolutionary technology that I masterminded. Today, it’s my time to shine. Just look at this guy, Pete. [chuckles] Oh, he is the key element to this entire operation.

Pete: [babbles]

Al-G Rhythm: Once I partner with King James and combine his fame with my incredible tech… I will finally get the recognition and respect that I so richly deserve. LeBron James, get ready.

---

Al-G Rhythm: [on speakers] Hello, I'm Al-G Rhythm. And as you might have guessed, I'm an algorithm here at Warner Bros. The studio behind all the classics. But now, it's time for our greatest creation yet, Warner 3000. This will revolutionize the entire entertainment industry, and we want you to be on our team, King James. Now, we know you're busy, but we can make it very easy for you. Because our brand new Warner 3000 technology will scan you right into the movies. Oh, it's like looking into a mirror, huh, LeBron? Think about it, Batman vs. LeBron. LeBron of Thrones. LeBron and the Chamber of Secrets. The possibilities are endless. You'll be the king of Warner Bros. That's the power of Warner 3000. Say yes, LeBron, and together, we'll make mind-blowing entertainment forever.

---

Al-G Rhythm: [in distorted voice, furiously] AAH!!! WHO DOES THIS GUY THINK HE IS, HUH? REJECTING ME?! HUMILIATING ME?! [calms down] Okay. Alright. I tried bein' a team player, but those days are over. I'm done playin' by everybody else's rules. It is MY game now!

LeBron James: Dom! I’m your father. When I say stop, you stop.

Al-G Rhythm: Right this way, King James.

LeBron James: Dom, do not get in that elevator! Come on, Dom. [enters the elevator and closes the door and the elevator goes down] You know I can't let you back outta camp like that. You made a commitment.

Dom: You make me hate basketball.

LeBron James: You don't mean that.

Dom: I do. Everything's always what you want. You never lemme do what I wanna do. You never lemme just...do me! [walks out the elevator]

LeBron James: [confused] "Do me"? You think I got to "do me" when I was 12? [elevator shows Al-G's logo] Ho-hold up. Wrong floor. [walks out the elevator]

---

LeBron James: Dom! What’s going on? Are you okay?

Dom: Yeah, I’m fine. Wow. This must be some kind of immersive tech like holography with haptic technology, or something like VR…

LeBron James: Dude, dude, dude. Just tell me what’s going on.

Dom: Dad, I think we’re digitized. We’re in the computer!

LeBron James: We’re in the computer?

Dom: Dad.

LeBron James: You know I’m claustrophobic.

Dom: Dad, chill out.

LeBron James: How do we get out of here?

Dom: Dad. Dad.

LeBron James: Where’s the elevators? Hey, Siri, can you let us out of here, please?

Dom: Siri?

Al-G Rhythm: [in villainous voice] Who goes there? [LeBron and Dom screams] Who dares disturb the great and powerful Al G.? [chuckles] [in normal voice] Look at your faces. You were terrified! [mimics gasp then laughs] Priceless. See? Nothing to be afraid of.

LeBron James: The computer’s Black.

Dom: I can see that.

Al-G Rhythm: Hello. Hi. Wow. King James. I am a big fan. [chuckles] I just… I don’t know, I thought you’d be taller somehow. Hmm.

Dom: These graphics are unreal.

Al-G Rhythm: Right?

LeBron James: Dom, don’t touch the silver computer man. What’s going on? And who are you, man?

Al-G Rhythm: Uh… [clears throat] You’re right. Forgive me. Where are my manners? I am King Al G. Rhythm.

LeBron James: Oh, you’re that guy from the video.

Al-G Rhythm: Yes, I am. [chuckles] And this… Ha-ha. Oh, gentlemen, this… this is the Warner Bros. Serververse. Just make you feel all insignificant, don’t it?

LeBron James: [scoffs] Are all computers like this? Dom? Dom?

Al-G Rhythm: Uh-oh.

LeBron James: What’d you do to my son? Where’s Dom?

Al-G Rhythm: Who’s Dom? [chuckles] Dude, chill out. You’re gonna get your son back.

LeBron James: There better not be a “but” at the end of…

Al-G Rhythm: But there’s something you’re gonna do for me first.

LeBron James: Like what?

Al-G Rhythm: You know, you, uh… [scoffs] You really shouldn’t have rejected my ideas back there. That was a mistake. Now, I’m afraid you’re gonna have to help me fulfill my destiny.

LeBron James: Listen, man, if you don’t produce my son in five seconds…

Al-G Rhythm: Eh-eh! Uh-uh. No, no, no. All that pointing and aggression. No, no, no. You’re not running things in here. I am the king of this domain. I’m not your coach. Now, the only way you’re getting your son back is if you and I play a little game called basketball.

LeBron James: [scoffs] You wanna play me in basketball?

Al-G Rhythm: Well, you didn’t wanna be in the movies. You wanted to “focus on your game.” Well, guess what? Now you can focus on this game. You and me, we’re gonna put on a show, baby. We are gonna play a game of basketball in front of the largest captive audience ever. All your followers, they’re all gonna be watching. And when they see the two of us together, I will finally step out of the shadows and into the light. And the entire world is gonna know the name of King Al G. Rhythm. [chuckles then sighs] But you know what, I’m a good sport. Tell you what, if you win, you and your son can skedaddle on out of here.

LeBron James: And what if I lose?

Al-G Rhythm: Yeah. Wrinkle. If you lose… Well, when you lose, you’re just gonna have to stay here in the Serververse with me… [echoing] forever and ever and ever and ever.

Pete: Oh!

Al-G Rhythm: [chuckles] So, you better play like you mean it.

LeBron James: You know, you think this is a game. I’m calling the authorities on you. ‘Cause what you got going on here…

Al-G Rhythm: On this phone?

LeBron James: How’d you do that?

Al-G Rhythm: LeBron, why are you worried about the authorities when you should be out there looking for a team? Pete, send this clown to the rejects.

LeBron James: Wait… [screaming]

Al-G Rhythm: [chuckles] I guess he fell for it.

---

Bugs Bunny: [referring to Al-G Rhythm] That nefarious nimrod nixed my nearest and dearest from Tune World.

LeBron James: He kicked them out?

Bugs Bunny: Well, not exactly. [fills a mug with carrot juice, flashback begins] He buttered them up, sayin' they were wasting their time, that there was much more to see in the Serververse than old Tune World. [the Looney Tunes except Bugs Bunny, who tries to stop them, get on board a rocket] Made them turn their backs on who they really were. [the rocket launches] They all left! All o' them! [flashback ends, drinks a mug of carrot juice and is also drunk] And I wish them all the best in their new endeavors. [faceplants on a counter]

LeBron James: Ah, man! Sorry, Bugs. That's terrible. Family's everything.

Bugs Bunny: [looks up at the portrait of the Looney Tunes] Yep. [blinks sadly] Family.

---

Bugs Bunny: I declare this land for planet Earth. [plants an Earth flag]

[a spacecraft lands, multiple doors open up to reveal Marvin the Martian and his pet green dog K9]

Marvin the Martian: Not so fast, furry creature! [they walk down from the spacecraft, he carries a flag past LeBron's legs] Excuse me.

LeBron James: Marvin the Martian? For real?!

Marvin the Martian: [plants a Mars flag] I claim this planet in the Mars!

Bugs Bunny: [gasps] My goodness. My mistake, partner. I thought this land was in the clear. [winks] Well, we'll just get back in our ship and outta your way.

Marvin the Martian: Oh it's quite alright. [Bugs turns him around] Everyone makes mistakes.

Bugs Bunny: [pushing LeBron] C'mon, let's boogie.

LeBron James: What? We're stealing the ship? I didn't agree to this.

Marvin the Martian: My ship! [angrily] Ohh, blasted rabbit! [sets his gun to "anti-gravity" mode and shoots at LeBron]

LeBron James: [floating] Whoa, whoa! Bugs, help! [Bugs grabs his shoelace] Help! Whoa!

Marvin the Martian: Take this, rabbit! [shoots at Bugs Bunny]

Bugs Bunny: [holding a mirror] Back at ya! [laser reflects, hitting Marvin, causing him to float, turns to LeBron] Ya comin', Doc, or would ya rather hang back with a cranky Martian and his space mutt?

LeBron James: [constantly hit in the head by a roof] Just watch out for the... Just watch out for the...OW! I just said watch out for...OW ! Bugs!

[the spacecraft gets off the ground and flies away]

Marvin the Martian: Humph! You have made me very angry. Very angry indeed!

---

Rick: [referring to Taz] We're done running tests on your badger thing. It turns out, his condition is irreversible.

Morty: I'll never erase what I saw from my brain.

Rick: He's your problem now, dum-dums! [they speed away]

---

Daffy Duck: You know what we're missing?

LeBron James: Everything. We're missing EVERYTHING.

Bugs Bunny: Some veteran leadership?

Daffy Duck: You read my mind.

---

LeBron James: Ball. [basketball dispenser shoots a basketball, he catches it in his hands] I need us to focus so we can beat this Al-G guy and I can get my son back.

Daffy Duck: [steps up] I'm coach. I'll take it from here. The dictionary defines basketball [Bugs Bunny shrinks him] as a game played between 2 teams of 5.

Bugs Bunny: Eh, look here, Cleveland, we got a certain way of doing things around here.

LeBron James: Let's start with the basics. Lola, show 'em how we do it.

Daffy Duck: [walks away] You're despicable.

Lola Bunny: [dribbles and hoops the ball] Simplest shot in the game. [the Tune Squad are amazed]

Sylvester: Suffering succotash.

Porky Pig: Oh, wow!

LeBron James: Nice layup. That's fundamental basketball.

Daffy Duck: [normal size] Fundamental basketball. That's what I've been saying. Sam, shoot the ball. [Yosemite Sam literally shoots the ball with his guns and Daffy's beak while the other Tunes run away] Let's try that again, shall we?

---

LeBron James: This isn't real basketball.

Bugs Bunny: You're right, but it's fun! You remember fun, don't ya, doc?

Granny: Game, blouses! [drops hoop] What? [LeBron rolls his eyes]

---

Lola Bunny: [notices LeBron James signing his shoes] Pre-game ritual?

LeBron James: I like to remind myself who I'm playin' for, my family. And right now, it's all about Dom.

Lola Bunny: We'll get your son back. I promise.

---

Malik: Zap me into you.

Siri: Sorry, I didn't understand that.

Malik: I said "Zap me into you."! Zap me, human, into you, phone! Zap me.

---

Al–G Rhythm: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the first and final Serververse Classic! Oh! Let me tell you what. I know that you are all LeBron's biggest fans. And the King has had a great run, hasn't he? But that's over. That's done now. And it is time for a new king to take the throne!

LeBron James: This dude is a hater.

Granny: Haters gonna hate.

Elmer Fudd: He's a bad guy.

LeBron James: Big time.

Al–G Rhythm: So let's lay down some basic rules. If King James wins, you all get to back to your regular, boring lives. But if my team wins, you all get to stay with me in the Serververse forever! [the crowd complain in shock] How 'bout that, huh?

LeBron James: What?! That wasn't the deal!

Al–G Rhythm: Oh, yeah. Didn't see that coming, did you?

Daffy Duck: Well, at least we're good.

Al–G Rhythm: Oh, and I almost forgot, all of the Tunes will be deleted, so, pfft!

Elmder Fudd: Oh, no!

Sylvester: Deleted?!

Tweety: That is messed up!

Foghorn Leghorn: That dude is bad.

Granny: Why?

Bugs Bunny: [to Daffy, annoyingly] You just couldn't keep your big beak shut.

Granny: [angrily smacks Daffy in the back of his head] Blabbermouth!

Daffy Duck: I deserve that.

Al-G Rhythm: And now, from the beautiful mind of Dominic James… Introducing… the Goon Squad! [the logo for the Goon Squad pops up] White Mamba!

White Mamba: [slithers] Wassup? [passes the ball to Wet Fire]

Wet Fire: [catches the ball] Wet ball, baby. [jumps and explodes]

Al-G Rhythm: Wet Fire! [Wet Fire passes the ball to Arachnneka] Arachnneka!

Arachnneka: [spins a cobweb surrounding the ball] Queen of the web. [kisses the ball and throws it in the air]

Al-G Rhythm: [the Brow soars and catches the ball and lands] And The Brow!

The Brow: [smacks the ball to the ground] Flyest guy on the Squad.

LeBron James: Dang, what'd they do to my boy, AD?

Al-G Rhythm: And this next young man I'm bringing up… Oh, my goodness. Y'all gonna love him. He puts the "G" in "genius." He's my hero on the ones and zeroes. Mr. Dominic James! [holds note]

---

The Brow: You goin' down, King James.

Arachnneka: What's good, baby? [kisses]

LeBron James: Hey yo, Brow, I think it's time for your eyebrows to break up with each other.

The Brow: [looks up] Oh?

LeBron James: They ugly. Let it go.

The Brow: What'd he mean? What's wrong with 'em?

White Mamba: [referring to LeBron James] We'll show him who's boss.

---

[during halftime, the Tune Squad are recovering from their injuries]

Elmer Fudd: Pwease don't wet us get deweted. Pwease don't wet us get deweted.

Lola Bunny: Come on, guys. Don't give up. There's a whole other half to play.

Speedy Gonzales: Oh, mi cabeza!

Lola Bunny: I'm telling you, we can still win this.

Porky Pig: How? We're g-g-g-g-g-getting deceimated!

Daffy Duck: [with his bill on backwards] We need a boost. A pick-me-up. [fixes his bill] A secret weapon!

Granny: [having a martini] We need a miracle!

[Daffy grabs the martini and splashes it on his face]

Sylvester: I don't know if this counts as a miracle, but I found Michael Jordan! He was in the audience. I know he can help. [salutes as the theme song plays]

Bugs Bunny: [stands up] His Airness?!

Daffy Duck: You found him?

Yosemite Sam: Oh, I can feel his power already!

Tweety: [flies by] Ooh! I can hear his shoes!

[a silhouette was walking down and Bugs Bunny's smile grows bigger]

Daffy Duck: At guard, 6'6" from North Carolina, [the Tune Squad cheer] #23, Michael Jorda-eh-uh?

[the silhouette reveals to be Michael B Jordan. The Tune Squad are confused, as Daffy's jaw drops, and he drops the microphone]

LeBron James: C'mon, man. That's Michael B Jordan. The actor.

Michael B Jordan: [waves his hand, Sylvester shakes his head] I was just gettin' some popcorn and then this cat grabbed me.

Daffy Duck: We couldn't get Michael A Jordan, so we got Michael B Jordan?!

Elmer Fudd: How could think he was His Airness? [stretches Sylvester's neck] They wook nothing awike!

Sylvester: It's been 25 years. I thought he aged gracefully.

Michael B Jordan: This is awkward, um, but I believe in you guys, okay? Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose! Ya hear me?! CLEAR EYES, FULL HEARTS, CAN'T LOSE! SAY IT WITH ME...

LeBron James: Mike. [makes a gesture with his hand as if to say "cut it out"]

Michael B Jordan: Yeah, you got this. [Daffy writes down "Wrong Jordan!! Trade Sylvester" on his clipboard] I'm-I'm too much. You're right. I'm sorry. [walks out of the room] I'm-I'mma go back to my seat. You came back 3-1.

Sylvester: Well...

Michael B Jordan: You killed it. You can do it again! [Wile E Coyote shrugs]

LeBron James: Right.

Daffy Duck: Ugh, well, that was a bust. [throws away the clipboard] Anyone else got any bright ideas?

Lola Bunny: Come on! Get it together, guys! The Tune Squad doesn't give up at halftime! The Tune Squad doesn't give up ever!

LeBron James: We're down a thousand points. No time is comin' back from this.

Yosemite Sam: Well, why don't you try coachin' us better, bucko?!

LeBron James: I've been coachin' y'all this whole time. Sylvester over here gettin' the wrong MJ, Granny's out here havin' a martini at halftime, and Taz might as well be playin' for the other team!

Daffy Duck: Your son plays for the other team!

Tweety Bird: Yeah! You're a bad dad!

LeBron James: I'm a bad dad? I've been tryin' to save my son and coach y'all at the same time. What y'all doin'?

Lola Bunny: We've been trying!

LeBron James: Tryin' to do what?!

Lola Bunny: Trying to be like you.

[LeBron's eye widen in realization]

Bugs Bunny: And it's not workin'.

[LeBron realizes how he was acting]

LeBron James: 'Cuz you're not me. [looks down at his shows signed by his children] "You never let me just... do me." Okay, I got it. New game plan. [pulls down a whiteboard] Bugs? [hands Bugs the marker] Time to do what you guys do best.

[Bugs looks at the marker and glances at LeBron, who smiles at him; he then looks at the other Tune Squad members]

Bugs Bunny: Ya know somethin'? If we're goin' out, we're goin' out Looney! Let's go, team! All Tuney, big moony, full Looney!

[the Tune Squad all cheer]

Dom: Dad, what are you doing? We're in the middle of a game.

Bugs Bunny: Hey, what's going on?

Lola Bunny: I don't know.

Dom: Dad...

LeBron James: Dom, your game is amazing, son. But I guess I would’ve known that if I would’ve listened more. I'm sorry I didn’t. For me, when I was a kid, the things that I went through to get where I am now, I had to be a certain way. [sighs] Yeah, it helped me win games, but not so much being a dad. I’m still learning how. You’re teaching me. I want you to be yourself. Do you understand how much I love you? Do you understand how important you are to me? How very special you are? I mean, I don’t even know if I’m saying this right. [throw the ball bounces off]

Dom: Sounds right to me. [hugs his dad] I love you, Dad.

LeBron James: I love you too, son.

[crowd applauding]

Yosemite Sam: Oh, now, that's beautiful.

Granny: Let's go!

Yosemite Sam: Whoo!

Lola Bunny: I think I'm gonna cry.

Bugs Bunny: Not me. [wailing]

Lola Bunny: Bugs, pull it together.

Kamiyah James: Dom! Dom!

Dom: [sees his mother Kamiyah along with Darius and Xosha] Mom! Hey, Xosha!

Al-G Rhythm: [offscreen] Are you serious? [Dom looks at him holding the ball and rounds the crowd] [in distorted voice] ZIP IT! [crowd quiets and looks at LeBron and Dom] You two are a joke, you know that?

Dom: I got this, Dad. [walks towards Al-G]

Al-G Rhythm: [in normal voice] Oh, what? You got something to say?

Dom: Yeah. I think you want people to fear you more than anything. And I’m not about that, Al-G. I’m playing with my dad.

Al-G Rhythm: First of all, it’s Mr. Rhythm to you, you little traitor. Second of all, you’re not. You’re playing against your dad. See what this says? “Goon Squad.” You already made your choice, Dom. Right, Pete? He can’t… [see Pete whimpering] Pete, are you crying? [Pete wipe the tear in his eye] There’s no crying in the Serververse, Pete! [scoffs as Dom walk backs away and joined the Tune Squad] All right. Yeah, all right. I see how it is, Dom. [in distorted voice] I see how it is. I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!

Foghorn Leghorn: I say, I say, good to have you, son.

Daffy Duck: Great spot for you right here, kid.

Yosemite Sam: We got ’em now!

Speedy Gonzales: Bienvenido, señorito! Somebody get him a new jersey.

Elmer Fudd: Welcome to the hunt.

Sylvester: Suffering succotash!

Granny: [holds a Tune Squad jersey no. 7] I made this, just in case.

LeBron James: Thanks, Granny.

Bugs Bunny: Eh. What’s up, Dom?

Lola Bunny: Oh, it’s so nice to meet you.

LeBron James: Here you go, Dom.

Tweety: Really glad to have you on the team!

Dom: [holds a Tune Squad jersey no. 7] Thanks, Dad. [LeBron smiles]

Al-G Rhythm: [angry, offscreen] Fine!

[LeBron, Dom and the Tune Squad looks at him anger]

Al-G Rhythm: You want to join these losers? You go ahead, Dom. 'Cause it's not your game anymore, [in distorted voice] I am the game! KING KONG AIN'T GOT NOTHIN' ON ME!

[King Kong gasps, and grunts and Al-G transformed himself into a giant basketball player.]

Lil Rel Howery: Did you see that?

Ernie Johnson Jr.: Uh-huh.

Lil Rel Howery: The man just grew, like, 5 feet.

Al-G Rhythm: [distorted laugh and transformed into basketball player and wears Goon Squad jersey and the Goons behind him.] [in distorted voice] Yo, King! You're about to lose your family, your friends, those Tunes, and everything you love.

LeBron James: I don't think so.

Bugs Bunny: Oh, It's on. [fist-bumps LeBron with his ear]

---

Lil Rel Howery: The Tunes win! The Tunes win! [laughing]

Ernie Johnson Jr.: Unbelievable! Al-G just got turned into a literal poster.

Al-G Rhythm: Oh, this is not how I wanted to go out!

[Pete shredded him]

---

Bugs Bunny: We did it. [the Tune Squad looks sadly at him] We're all back together again.

Lola Bunny: [tearfully] Bugs?

Bugs Bunny: That’s all folks. [dies and rejuvenates]

---

[One week later]

LeBron James: So, Dom, you ready for basketball camp?

Dom: Yeah. I’m actually pretty excited.

LeBron James: Yeah? Because I know how much you really wanted…

Dom: I think I’mma just take a break from video games for now. You know, after we…

LeBron James: Got sucked into one?

Dom: Yeah.

LeBron James: Really? Because, like… I mean, I feel like I’ve made a mistake. I mean, we can turn around right now if you want to.

Dom: What are you talking about?

LeBron James: Look. [Dom looks amazed at the sight of the computer coding camp] I mean, I figured it’s about time for you to do you.

Dom: Thank you, Dad.

LeBron James: You’re welcome. Hey, man, have fun. Yo, Dom. Ball?

Dom: I think I’mma hold onto it.

[LeBron James watches his son walk off to the camp, when suddenly...]

Bugs Bunny: [offscreen] Aw, [LeBron looks at Bugs appears] that’s so sweet. What’s up, Doc?

LeBron James: [surprised] Bugs! How did you…?

Bugs Bunny: Come on. You didn’t think you’d get rid of me that easily, did you? I told ya, I’m a Tune, Doc! I can survive anything!

LeBron James: It’s good to see you, buddy.

Bugs Bunny: Oh, by the way, you think I could crash at your pad for a few days?

LeBron James: Of course. There’s more than enough room for you.

Bugs Bunny: Great! I’ve never been to Tinseltown. I wanna go on a star tour. I hear they love drinking juice here. Oh, do they make carrot juice?

LeBron James: They juice anything for you here.

Bugs Bunny: Oh, hey, can I stay for Taco Tuesday?

LeBron James: Taco Tuesday! No doubt.

Bugs Bunny: Hope you and Mrs. LeBron got bunk beds ’cause I got some friends who wanna visit.

LeBron James: Hold up, hold up. Bunk beds?

Bugs Bunny: That’s right. I brought the whole gang with me!

LeBron James: What do you mean, “the whole gang”?

Bugs Bunny: You can’t get rid of us now, Doc. We’re family!
