1. M.S. of Bingo and Drooper seated behind desk, on which is a mike and a pile of letters.

"And now it's fan letter time."

2. C.U.

BINGO (Reading letter)

"Here's one, Drooper....Dear Banana Splits Club...Fleegle is my favorite Banana Split. Huh??"

(Bingo wads paper up and tosses it behind the desk. He picks up another letter and reads)

"Dear Banana Splits Club...Drooper is my favorite Banana Split. How do you like that?"

(Bingo wads up paper and tosses it also behind the desk. He picks up a third letter)

"Dear Banana Splits Club...Bingo is my favorite Banana Split. (To cam) Well...this is more like it. (Continues reading) But on second thought, I think I like Snorky even more."

(Bingo wads up letter and tosses it into the air.)

(To cam) "Some days, you just can't win."

BLACKOUT

(Notes: Any words in bold text are handwritten revisions in the script. Bingo's lines originally were assigned to Fleegle, but Fleegle's name is crossed out in the script and Bingo's name is handwritten in its place...after all, Bingo is the "fall guy" ... Fleegle is the top banana!)
