BUS DRIVER Thanks for being such good passengers.

I had a lovely time driving you all through the town. Let’s ride together on the bus again soon, and remember – always look both ways before crossing the street. Bye–bye!

74. EXT. CITY – DAY (ANIMATION #18 – 20 secs)

The bus continues to roll down the street. Roll end credits as the song – “Goodnight Bus” plays.
