Boomerang -- "Birthday Bash" It is early morning at Road Rover Mission Control. Boomerang is just waking up, his quarters decorated with various posters of Axle Rose and other rock musicians. (BOOMERANG): Today's my birthday! I wonder what the guys have planned for me? He quickly gets dressed and is ready to rush down the stairs for breakfast when he's met in the hallway by No36s and Alice Kiddman. NO36S (smiling): Glad you're wide awake! ALICE (nods): C'mon! He have to go rehearse now! BOOMERANG (confused): Rehearse? What are you talking about? NO36S (shocked): Didn't Sam tell you? ALICE (smiles): We got a gig today! Someone hired us at the last minute! BOOMERANG (confused): Hired us? A gig? NO36S (nods): That's right! All Sam told us is that it's for someone's birthday! ALICE (smiles): Must be somebody who's heard us play before! BOOMERANG (smiles): Birthday! What a coincidence because it's ... ALICE (takes Boomerang by the arm): No time to chat, we got some new songs to practice! Alice Kiddman, No36S and Boomerang rush downstairs into the basement where Otto and Samantha Maddog have already 'set up' the instruments and are going over the sheet music. NO36S (smiles): Hi guys! We're here! OTTO (sternly): Now he may begin our practice session BOOMERANG (worried): But it's still very early in the morning! Won't we wake up the other Rovers? SAMANTHA (smiles): Don't worry, Mr Boomerang, sir! My Otto has taken care of that! OTTO (nods): That is correct. I took the precaution of placing sound abosrbing device in the ceiling as well as the walls of this room. This will prevent us from disturbing the others in this complex irregardless of our volume or amperage of .... ALICE (interrupting): We get the picture, big guy! NO36S (hands Boomerang his guitar): Ok, Boomer, time to warm up those fingers! ALICE (looks at Samantha): Hey Sammy, what songs are we gonna play? SAMANTHA (sadly): Well, Mr Kiddman, sir, that's what Otto and I was discussing OTTO (nods): That is correct. We are in a quandry over which songs to select for our performance at the party. Your input in this matter would be greatly appreciated! ALICE (nods): Ok, where's the gig gonna be? NO36S (smiles): What kind of crowd can we expect? BOOMERANG (wide grin): How many chicks will be there? OTTO (confused): Chicks? We are not performing at a farm or poultry plant.... ALICE (rolls eyes): Er... yeah... BOOMERANG (smiles): I mean babes! Dames! Broads! (mimics Otto): Members of the female species SAMANTHA (thinking): Well.... OTTO (nods): I understand now, Boomerang. Having no direct access to the guest list, I have insufficent data to answer your inquiry.. BOOMERANG (disappointed): Shoot! (to himself): Maybe I can pick up a date at this party. After all, it's MY birthday too! NO36S (looks at Sam): Y'know, it would help if we could get a feel for this crowd! ALICE (nods): Yeah, then maybe we'd have a better idea of what type of songs to play! OTTO (nods): I believe I can assist with that process! I will use my image projector to produce the correct, as it is called in the music business, 'atmosphere' for comparison purposes. Suddenly, all five Rovers watch as the basement is transformed by Otto's image projector into a huge hotel ballroom, lavishly decorated with screamers, balloons, several banquet tables, a huge white cake and a crowd of about a hundred people. OTTO (sternly): Does this image provide sufficent, 'atmosphere?' ALICE (eyes huge as saucers): WHOA MAN!! This looks SO real! NO36S (nods): WOW! I can almost smell the food! BOOMERANG (smiles): Amazing! What kind of music do you thing a crowd like this would like? SAMANTHA (giggles): How about, 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY?' Otto smiles as a loud BOOM!!!!!!!!!!! shakes the room. He has instantly teleported all five of the Rovers to the front of a hotel ballroom, which looks very similar to the 'projection' he used earlier, with the same decorations, tables of food and huge cake. The one exception is with the crowd, which now consists of all of Boomerang's Road Rover friends, including Hunter, Colleen, Exile, Blitz, Muzzle, Shag, Dylan, Dervish, Cobber, Alethia, DJ, Star, Maxx and Dawn. Hunter pulls down on a rope that unfurls a big banner that reads: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOOMERANG. BOOMERANG (startled): What the..? All of the Rovers sing 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' and surround him to shake hands and share hugs. ALETHIA (smiling): Happy Birthday, Boomer! DJ (happy): Way to go, Boomerang! NO36S (laughs): We GOTCHA, didn't we? ALICE (smiles): Thought we forgot, didn't ya? DYLAN (happy): We'd never forget you, Boomerang! DERVISH (nods): That's right, dude! COBBER (nods): Way to go, mate! DAWN (happy): Happy Birthday! MAXX (nods): We all had this planned for a month now! STAR (smiles): Great party, right, Boomerang? BOOMERANG (happy): I don't know what to say! This is all so wonderful! OTTO (sternly): Would the appropriate response be, 'Thank you?' BOOMERANG (nods): Definately! SAMANTHA (smiles, points): Here is your first gift! Slowly approaching them are Ben Maddog and Uncle Buford. Ben is carrying a large, wrapped gift. BEN (hands it to Boomerang): Go ahead, Boomerang, open it! BOOMERANG (tears off the wrapping, opens box): HEY! This is .... a new uniform! UNCLE BUFORD (smiles): Not just ANY uniform Boomerang! This is your official Collie Squadron uniform! BEN (smiles): Welcome to the team! BOOMERANG (excited): YES!!!!! I've wanted to join! Thank you! All of the Rovers cheer, applaud, and them bring their presents up for Boomerang. SAMANTHA (looks at Hunter): May I say it this time, Mr Hunter, sir? HUNTER (smiles): Be my guest, Sam! SAMANTHA (loudly): TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!!! All of the Rovers howl in unison. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
