I had just read the script for "Disco Droopy" and someone tipped me off on where the scriptwriter was hiding out.
I chased him down 
and began to deliver God's justice upon him 
I beat him within an inch of his cheap life
I felt the foul meat of his face tear off on my fists
in a flash my older wiser supervisor stopped me in my murderous rage
His knuckles connected with my skull and loosened my enraged flesh
When my brains stopped rattling, I woke up to have the harsh modern world explained to me in the coldest meanest words
I felt the nastiness of reality ooze over me like fish vomit coating a fresh babe
reality sunk in slowly; it produced a last rebellious and futile spasmic outcry

I found a 3/4" tape of the rough cut, made before before Nickelodeon destroyed the master. I cut the missing scenes back in, but they had timecodes on it.
Evan Oliver and David Mackenzie took the finished cut and using digital magic, erased the timecodes:
