Amos Doggie & Hannah -- "The Capture of Amos Doggie" The scene is a factory site near Athens, Greece. The Road Rovers are doing battle with General Parvo's forces on the factory grounds. DJ, Otto, Alethia and Cobber are locked in an intense 'firefight' with sixteen cano-mutants. Hannah, Molly Maddog, Samantha and Amos are slowly moving around to the other side in an attempt to 'outflank' the enemy. HANNAH (holding laser rifle, whispering): Ok, follow me, we're almost in position SAMANTHA (nods, whispers): Miss Hannah, ma'am, when do we begin shooting? HANNAH (whipsering): Not till we get behind that rock formation MOLLY (whispering): Want me to go on ahead? HANNAH (shakes head, whispering): No, better if we all travel together, slowly and quietly.. AMOS (shouts): Why we being so quiet? HANNAH (whispering): Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Suddenly, six cano-mutants stand up and aim their weapons at the foursome. HANNAH (shouts): Everyone! Scatter! Samantha jumps behind a huge boulder, Hannah rolls on the ground and then sets her laser rifle and fires. Molly uses her super speed to circle around the six cano-mutants and fire at them from behind. Amos leaps over a tree stump not realizing that they are at the top of a large hill. Amos lands on the sloped ground and begins to roll all the way to the bottom of the hill. At the bottom of the hill is Parvo's dog ship, with Parvo and Groomer standing beside of it. GROOMER (salutes): My General, the battle goes badly! The Road Rovers have us surrounded! PARVO (angry): How did they know we were here? (sighs): Very well, Groomer, it's time us to leave GROOMER (points at hillside): What's thats? Groomer and Parvo watch as Amos Doggie rolls down the hill and stops directly in front of them. The old swamp dog is so dizzy he doesn't know where he is. GROOMER (angry): A Road Rover! PARVO (shakes head): A Road Rover? Dressed in overalls and a flannel shirt? GROOMER (hears explosions): We have to leave NOW, my General! PARVO (nods): Alright, but we'll take this one with us. If he is a Road Rover, we can learn much from him, or sell him back to the Master! Groomer and Parvo drag Amos into their dog ship as six other Cano-Mutants run inside and close the door. The dog ship takes off as Alethia, Cobber, DJ, Otto and the others arrive at the bottom of the hill. OTTO (growls): Parvo is employing a force field around his ship, I am unable to teleport it back here or us into it! DJ (puts hand on Otto's shoulder): Don't worry about it, buddy. We'll get Parvo next time. Hannah, Samantha and Molly rush down the hill and join the others. HANNAH (frantic): Have any of you seen Amos? I can't hear him anywhere! SAMANTHA (looks at Hannah): Don't worry, Aunt Hannah, ma'am! MOLLY (looks around): I'm sure he's here somewhere! OTTO (sternly): Scanning....... unable to locate Amos's signal within a fifty mile area... HANNAH (screams): WHAT??? OH NO!!!!! DJ (shakes head): That's impossible! Amos doesn't have a special collar to teleport with, and he couldn't have traveled that far that fast. ALETHIA (sadly): What if....he was taken prisoner by Parvo? Otto, you said you couldn't scan their ship due to the force fields OTTO (nods): A logical conclusion, Alethia! SAMANTHA (cries out): OH NO!!! UNCLE AMOS!!! Hannah falls to her knees and begins to weep. Molly gives her a gentle hug. COBBER (sternly): Mates, we gotta find that bloak, and fast! DJ (turns to Otto): Have any suggestions? OTTO (thinking): Scanning.......... Meanwhile, the scene shifts to Parvo's secret underground lair, which happans to be in a deep cave off the coast of Crete. Amos awakens to find himself in a huge steel cage. Parvo, Groomer and the six cano-mutants stand back and watch. AMOS (groggy): Where....where be Amos? PARVO (laughs): You are at my base, Road Rover! GROOMER (nods): That's right, pooch! And as soon as I get my memory extracting machine ready, you're going to tell us everything you know about your Road Rover friends! AMOS (confused): What Amos know? That be not taking too long! PARVO (points): You speak nonsense, old mutt! (coughs): Longine!! GROOMER (smirks): Oh, by the way, all of the cage bars are electrified, so touching one of them will cause you to get quite a jolt! PARVO (sternly): Groomer, let's finish preparing the machine. You mutants guard the prisioner, if he attempts to escape, blast him! The six cano-mutants nod as Parvo and Groomer leave the area. Amos looks at the mutant closest to him and sees him arm and shoulder bleeding badly. AMOS (smiles): Hey, mutant! Amos see you be bleeding! Amos help you, please come closer to ... MUTANT #1 (shakes head): You take me for a fool! You only want to escape! AMOS (shakes head): You be bleeding badly, Amos can help ye! MUTANT #1 (looking at his arm): Well..... OK (motions to the others): Shut down the electric bars, if he tries anything funny, shoot him! The Mutant moves closer to Amos, Amos takes a sleeve from his shirt and tears it off. AMOS (takes mutant's arm): Dis look bad (points to first aid kit on the table): Someone bring Amos dat kit over here, need to be stoping duh bleeding and killing duh germs! MUTANT #2 (shakes head): The General says that this first aid kit is for him and Groomer only. We are not allowed to use it AMOS (sternly): Amos need dat kit to help your pal! Bring to me, please? When the second mutant watches Amos use his torn off sleeve as a crude bandage, he grabs the first aid kit and brings it over to him. The other mutants stare at Amos as he applies anti-septic spray to the first mutant's wounds and binds them with gauze. AMOS (looks around): The rest of y'all be needin' some of dis too! Come over here and let Amos help ye! The other mutants look at each other in disbelief. MUTANT #2 (confused): You are our enemy! Why are you treating our injuries? AMOS (wide grin): You be creatures in need! This old swamp dog be helping gators, birds and snakes, so why not he be helping you also? (points at female mutant): You, miss, I treat you next! Dose laser burns be needin' quick shot of dis spray! No want any infections, yes? One by one, each cano-mutant walks over to Amos's cage. He does his best to cover all of their open wounds with bandages and adminsters first aid to them. He notices that each mutant seems rather skinny and malnourished. AMOS (sternly): Y'all seem a might frail! What do day be feeding ya? MUTANT # 1 (points at a empty dog food bag): Our supply of food ran out a few days ago. I'm sure the General will get more for us! AMOS (shakes head): Dis be no good! (points at cave wall): See dose roots and moss hangin on dees cave walls? If I had me big cookin' pot I be makin' y'all a feast! All of the cano-mutants smile and look at each other, nodding their heads in agreement. Twenty minutes later Parvo and Groomer have the memory extracting machine ready to use. PARVO (smiles): Excellent! All we need now is that old mutt we caught and .... (sniffs) Groomer, do you smell that? GROOMER (sniffs): Yes! My General! PARVO (angry): It's coming from the end of the hallway, the room we have that Road Rover at! GROOMER (angry): He must be trying to escape! Hurry! When Groomer and Parvo reach the end of the hallway, they are both surprised at what they see. The six cano-mutants are all sitting at a table lapping up bowl after bowl of soup. Amos Doggie is still in his cage, standing behind a huge metal pot with a roaring fire beneath it, stirring the soup. Parvo and Groomer are furious. PARVO (shouts): What's going on here? AMOS (big smile): Ah! You two be in time for dinner! Got plenty left! GROOMER (confused): What? AMOS (stirs soup): I seed how dees poor dogs be out of food, so I fix me famous root-moss stew! It be not as good as me crawdad bisque, but y'all ain't got no crawdads... PARVO (points): I get it now! You're poisoning my soldiers! AMOS (shakes head): No, dis be not poison, it be tasty! Try some! GROOMER (reaches into the cage and grabs Amos by the arm): No! YOU TRY IT! AMOS (ladles out a bowl): Sure ting, missy! (drinks it all down): Amos almost forget how hungry he be! MUTANT #1 (runs over to the cage): More stew, more stew! AMOS (refills his bowl): Boy, you be plenty hungry! Dat be bowl number five fur ya! Parvo is enraged, he grabs the bowl out of the mutant's hands and throws it against the wall. PARVO (furious): YOU FOOLS!!!! Can't you see this is all a clever trick? (sees the mutant's banadages) WHO GOT INTO MY FIRST AID KIT?? AMOS (smiles): Dat be my fault, sir! I had to have the kit to treat all of dere wounds, and .... Parvo reaches inside the cage and hits Amos with his metal arm, knocking him down to the floor in a heap. The mutants see this and they all stand up and growl fiercely. This make Parvo even more upset. PARVO (shouting): HEEL! HEEL!! I command you! I'm your master! MUTANT #2 (growls): Then why did you not get us more food? MUTANT #1 (growls): You and Groomer never took care of us like Amos Doggie does! PARVO (furious): Enough of this foolishness! Take that miserable mutt to my lab, and that's an order! MUTANT #1 (growls): No one harm Amos Doggie! All six mutants grab their weapons and aim at Parvo and Groomer. PARVO (shouts): This is mutiny! All of you will die! As Parvo prepares to shoot with his laser pistol, an alarm goes off, they all hear the sound of the Van Rover entering the cave. GROOMER (looking at a monitor): It's the Road Rovers! PARVO (angry): But how did they find us? (screams): Let's not fight each other, let's fight the Rovers! One by one, each cano-mutant drops their laser rifles and go to Amos's cage. One of them opens the room and picks the unconscience swamp dog up and gently sets him down on their table. GROOMER (looking at monitor): General, they're almost here! PARVO (shocked): I can't believe this is happaning! (sees monitor): Quick, out the escape tunnel, hurry! When the Van Rover arrives, Alethia, Cobber, Otto, Molly, Samantha, DJ and Hannah step out to a very bewildering sight. Six cano mutants have surrounded the table where Amos is laying. He starts to sit up as the Rovers aim their weapons at the mutants. AMOS (shouts): WAIT!!! STOP!!!! Hurt not me new friends! COBBER (confused): Friends? ALETHIA (confused): Friends? MOLLY (smiles): That's Uncle Amos! Hannah rushes to Amos and gives him a big hug. The surrounding mutants all smile. AMOS (confused): How did y'all find Amos? HANNAH (sniffs the air): That root-moss stew of yours! We simply followed our noses! OTTO (sternly): What do we do with these cano-mutants? MUTANT # 2 (begging): Please, we want to go with Amos! MUTANT # 1 (nodding): Yes, please let Amos take care of us! SAMANTHA (smiling): Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. The scene switches to Parvo's dogship. PARVO (discouraged): Groomer, make a mental note, never capture Amos Doggie again! GROOMER (sadly nods): Yes....my General......... The scene switches to Road Rover Mission Control, several hours later. Amos, Hannah, Otto, Samantha, Alethia, Cobber, DJ and Molly are in the briefing room with the Master. MASTER (smiling): Road Rovers, you're all good, good dogs! The six cano-mutants that you rescued from Parvo have agreed to join us! They're onroute to Warrior's training center! HANNAH (giggles): They only joined after Amos promised to visit them often! MASTER (looks at Amos): And you, Amos, that was a great escape plan you thought of.... AMOS (confused): Escape plan? What escape plan? Amos help fellow canines, dat be no plan! HANNAH (hugs Amos): Amos Doggie, you never cease to amaze me! MASTER (nods): Or me, either! Blitz walks into the room, wiping his mouth on a napkin and smacking his lips. DJ (looks at Blitz): Blitz, you're late, the meeting's already over! COBBER (nods): Yeah, mate! Where have you been? BLITZ (smiling): I just has some incredible tasting soup out dere in duh lobby! Shag has outdone himself dis time! AMOS (smiles): No sir, I be the one who cooked it! BLITZ (startled): YOU cooked it? (scared): What ..... what was in it? AMOS (smiles): It be all natural! I take trees roots and green moss from inside a cave, throw dem in a pot, and den.... BLITZ (looking sick): Excuse me please! Blitz dashes out of the briefing room and into the nearest men's room. AMOS (laughs): I always knew me root-moss stew give ye energy! Did y'all see how fast Blitz be running? MOLLY (rolls eyes): Yeah....right.... All of the Rovers laugh. ----------------------------------------------------------------
