Road Rovers E.U.F. -- "High Rolling Rovers" The scene is the mountaintop home of Confuse-us, the elderly cocker spaniel who serves as the leader of the Elite Undercover Force. He, in his natural canine form, watches as his 'pupils', Otto Jr, Amelia and Emily train in martial arts with his own daughter Catherine. CONFUSE-US (shouts); Ok y'all! Pair off and remember all your training! CATHERINE (grabs Otto Jr's arm): I'll train with Otto... EMILY (smiles): Ok, Miss Catherine, ma'am AMELIA (shakes head): Illogical.. why would she chose our brother to have simulated battle exercises with? EMILY (huge grin): Because she has a crush on him, silly! AMELIA (sternly): Romance has no place in the lives of vigilant crime fighters EMILY (smiles): If it wasn't for romance, sister dear, we would not exist now.. AMELIA (nods): You indeed have a excellent point, Emily. Now, shall we begin to drill? Otto Jr and Catherine are already battling, Otto is blocking every kick and chop Catherine tries. OTTO JR (sternly): My sisters and I have bionic limbs and state of the art computer systems within us, your feeble efforts to attack me are useless CATHERINE (still swinging): Oh really? Otto Jr nods as he grabs Catherine by the arm for a 'arm toss' to the ground. As he is moving towards her, Catherine slowly grabs a handful of dirt and tosses it at Otto Jr's face. This confuses Otto Jr long enough for Catherine to knock him to the ground and pins his arms behind his back. AMELIA (shocked); I DON'T BELIEVE IT?? HOW DID SHE DO THAT??? EMILY (excited): WAY TO GO, CATHERINE!! CONFUSE-US (claps with paws): Good job, daughter! OTTO JR (angry): This is not possible! My sisters and I have superior strength and intellect! CONFUSE-US (nods): Uh huh, and superior egos to match! Look, you have to expect the unexpected if you plan to become effective Road Rover agents. The bad guys don't play fair, so you all must learn to antipate their moves, put yourself in their shoes! AMELIA (shakes head): That is physically impossible.. OTTO JR (nods): If the villians are still wearing them.. CONFUSE-US (rolls eyes): Good gravy! Y'all takes things so literally! Suddenly, a blaring alarm sounds. CONFUSE-US (excited): Our first assignment! Goody! Confuse-us hops on his cushion and pushes a button beneath it. A panel of rock opens like a door in front of them, and all five canines enter. Inside is a small table with a large screen in front of it. On the large screen is the image of Hunter talking to them. HUNTER (on screen): Ok Undercover force... here is your assignment.... (shows pictures on the screen as he speaks): French Police and American CIA operatives confirm that a major drug shipment is heading for Europe. Our only link to their organization is this man, Pierre Fasod, part owner of the Four Winds casino in Monte Carlo. Rumor has it that the drug cartel is meeting there later tonight. OTTO JR (sternly): Where do we fit into this scenario, Hunter? HUNTER (on screen): You and your team will be in the casino shortly. Otto Jr, (shows picture): You will become the notorious Crusher, an evil German Shepard cano-mutant we have just captured. The rest of you will act as his... well.... harem... EMILY (shocked); What? AMELIA (shocked): Huh? CATHERINE (smiles): Really? HUNTER (on screen); Crusher is usually scene in the company of gorgeous females when he plays in the casinos. You three will be Crusher's 'broads'. AMELIA (shakes head): Out of the question! EMILY (nods): If it's a part of our cover, we must do it! CATHERINE (happy): I agree! I agree! CONFUSE-US (looks at Catherine): Down girl! Down! You're starting to drool! HUNTER (on screen): Otto Jr, Emily, Amelia, download all of the data you can on Crusher, the cartel and the other mission parameters. Any questions? (looks around): Good.. you leave for Monte Carlo in thirty minutes, find out everything you can and then get out of there! CONFUSE-US (nods): Yessir! Screen goes blank. CONFUSE-US (sternly): Ok, you heard the man! Get ready! And on your way back here, will y'all please pick me up some more cheesy cocktail weines? CATHERINE (nods); Sure dad, we'll do it! The scene switches to the front doors of the Four Winds Casino in Monte Carlo, one hour later. In walks the foursome, Otto Jr dressed in a tuxedo, the girls all dressed in very skimpy mini dresses. EMILY (looking embarrassed): This garment requires more fabric... AMELIA (looking embarrassed): I am in agreement, sister... CATHERINE (whispers): Look you two, we have to look and play our roles or we'll be caught. OTTO JR (nods, whispers): Catherine is correct, we all must act natural... Otto Jr has used his magic to change his features to resemble Crusher, Pierre Assod spots him and rushes over to him. PIERRE (excited): Bonjour Crusher! (big smile): And you bring thee wonderful women with you, yes? OTTO JR (voice sounds like Crusher): Hey, what can I say? I'm a babe magnet! PIERRE (laughs): Indeed! Come with me, your favorite table is waiting! Pierre leads Otto Jr and the others to a room in the back of the casino. Three very well dressed gentlemen are seated at a blackjack table. Otto Jr joins them, surrounded by his 'broads'. CATHERINE (smiling): Honey, win me another Rolex! I just LOVE watches.... AMELIA (whispers to Emily): She sure is watching our brother very closely... PIERRE (laughs): I see you have your usual (coughs) escorts with you, Crusher. (points): You already know Herman Riaz and Googles Malone... this is General Ortega, a special friend of the owner. OTTO JR (shakes hand): General Ortega! I have heard of you... ORTEGA (nods): And it's all true, I assure you amigo! They all laugh together. ORTEGA (roughly); Pierre, I thought Crusher was a human.. PIERRE (defensive): General, Crusher is the best there is. OTTO JR (smiles); Surely, the General is not prejudiced towards canines, are you? ORTEGA (gruffly): I don't care who or what you are, Crusher, as long as you can do the job! GOGGLES (angry): Well, I say any human mind is far superior to any dog's brain! OTTO JR (laughs); Perhaps when I beat you in blackjack, you'll see how intellient I am! RIAZ (nods): That's our Crusher, just as cocky as ever! Several hands are dealt and played over the next hour. To everyone's surprise, Crusher (Otto Jr) has won every hand. AMELIA (talks like Mae West): Hey Crusher! ME and the ladies gotta go to the powder room! CRUSHER (looks at card): Go right ahead, girls, I'll still be winning when ya get back.. Amelia, Emily and Catherine walk towards the exit door, which is guarded by two armed guards. EMILY (flashes eyes): Could one of you big, handsome men show us where the ladies room is? One of the guards open the doors and points down the hallway. EMILY (nods): Thank you SO much, sugar! The three quietly walk into the room and shut the door. AMELIA (whispers low): Ok, Catherine, watch the door. Sis, it's time. Emily nods as she and Amelia stand under a ventelation shaft. Amelia takes a tiny box out of her purse and opens it. A dozen flies in the box take off and into the shaft. EMILY (whispering): Micro probes launched, will begin tracking... AMELIA (whispering): Since we are unable to scan the complex, these devices will do it for us CATHERINE (shouts): SOMEONE'S COMING! EMILY (nods): We're done, time to leave. As Amelia opens the door, one of the guards is standing in the doorway. GUARD (sternly); The boss says you three gotta get back to the gameroom NOW!! AMELIA (smiles); Sure! CATHERINE (nods): We're done! EMILY (winks): See ya later, big guy! AMELIA (tele to Emily): Don't get lost in the role! As the three return, one more hand has been dealt. The dealer has a nine showing. Otto Jr has a Jack showing, Goggles has a four, Riaz has a eight, General Ortega has a ten showing. Otto Jr has scanned the 'down' cards as well as the deck the dealer is holding. GOGGLES (smiling): Y'know Crusher, you've won every hand so far, let's make THIS hand a little more interesting. Let's bet table stakes, bet it all! DIAZ (shakes head): Not me! I'm out! ORTEGA (nods): Si! I too will fold! GOGGLES (bigger grin): Looks like it's just you and me, Crusher! DEALER (looking at Otto Jr): Another card, sir? Otto Jr has a Jack showing and a Queen hidden. He also knows that Goggles has a four with a six hidden. Scanning the deck, the top card is an Ace. He now suspects that the dealer and Goggles are in on a scam. OTTO JR (confident): Hit me! DEALER (stunned); What? GOGGLES (shocked); You want another card? Are you sure? OTTO JR (nods): I trust my instincts.... GOGGLES (furious); No one ever asks for a hit when they draw a Jack and Queen! OTTO JR (stares at him): How could YOU know what I have? RIAZ (nods): Yeah... ORTEGA (angry): Something stinks here! PIERRE (grabs deck from dealer); Let me see those.... (holds card to light): As I thought, marked! ORTEGA (snaps fingers): Boys, show the dealer and Mr Malone what we do to cheating gamblers! Goggles and the dealer plead and beg for their lives as they are taken out of the room. OTTO JR (smiles): So, I gut feeling was right, Goggles and the dealer were cheating. ORTEGA (draws a gun, points at Otto Jr): And they're not the only ones! (shouts): Herman! Search them all, use your Gieger counter too! As Otto and the others put their hands up in the air, Herman first empties the three ladies purses and finds nothing incriminating. It's when he moves the Geiger counter over Otto, Amelia and Emily that he discovers... RIAZ (shocked): Impossible! They ain't even human! ORTEGA (angry): That's what I thought! The General takes a small box out of his coat pocket and pushes the button. It's scrambling waves it emits cause Otto Jr, Emily and Ameila to fall to the floor, jerking and twisting violently. Catherine mimicks their behavior. RIAZ (shocked); Robots? ORTEGA (sternly): Androids, whatever! They were sent here to spy on us! I have to move quickly! (hands him the device): Herman, what they stop moving, dismantle them! General Ortega uses a hidden bookcase staircase to leave the room as Herman Riaz stands over the four Rovers with a gun pointed at them. When his back is turned to her, Catherine stands up and karate chops Riaz in the jaw, causing him to fall to the floor like a sack of potatoes. She quickly grabs the device and shuts it off. It takes about a minute for Otto Jr, Emily and Amelia to recover. AMELIA (turns to Catherine): You, you saved our lives! EMILY (nods): Great bit of acting, Miss Catherine, ma'am! OTTO JR (sternly): We have to stop Ortega! EMILY (excited); One of our micro probes has found the dock! It's in an underground chamber directly below us! CATHERINE (nods): Let's teleport there now! EMILY (shocked): What about Goggles Malone and the dealer? The General's men will kill them if... OTTO JR (nods): Ok, you go after them, the rest of us will go after Ortega! With a loud BOOM!!!! Otto Jr, Amelia and Catherine arrive at the dock. As soon as they appear, Ortega's men open fire. Keeping a force field on them, the three rush towards the departing ship. OTTO JR (panting): Electrical ... interference.... AMELIA (panting): Unable to.... teleport.... aboard.... CATHERINE (points): Look! Torpedoes stacked on the floor! OTTO JR (nods): Excellent.. idea! Otto Jr and Amelia use their super strength to pick up and throw one torpedo after another at the departing ship. After six tries, Amelia finally manages to toss one on the forward deck while Otto Jr hits the hull of the boat, creating two huge explosions. OTTO JR (nods): Perfect aim! AMELIA (nods): Now they won't get away! CATHERINE (amazed); You guys are awesome! She rushes over, hugs Otto Jr and kisses him repeatedly. AMELIA (sternly); Our mission is complete, we are no longer required to act likes his .... CATHERINE (overjoyed): So, who's acting? The scene now switches back to Confuse-us's mountian lair, three hours later. They're all in the briefing room, chatting with Hunter on the viewscreen. HUNTER (on screen): Good job, team. Not perfect, but good work... OTTO JR (shocked); Not perfect? EMILY (shocked): What do you mean? HUNTER (on screen): First of all, Otto Jr, you blew your team's cover by winning all of those blackjack hands. OTTO JR (surprised): I was obvious by being.... successful? HUNTER (on screen): Yes, and although you guys did manage to stop the shipment, General Ortega got away. One thing you did that helped was Emily's rescue of Goggles Malone and that blackjack dealer. They were so gratiful that they ratted on the entire operation. EMILY (smiles): Yes, they did, Mr Hunter, sir! HUNTER (on screen): This was your first mission, don't worry. Time and experience will teach you. EMILY (points): But the big hero was Catherine! HUNTER (on screen): Yes, that was quick thinking playing 'dead' like that to catch Ortega off guard. Excellent work! CATHERINE (nods): Thank you, Hunter! CONFUSE-US (happy); That's my girl! She's pretty, smart, and always remembers her daddy! Confuse-us holds up the box of cheesy cocktail weinies she brought him. AMELIA (nods): I must admit, there are some advantages to not being bionic.... OTTO JR (smiles): Correct, this concept would make an excellent study... (turns to Catherine): Miss Catherine, shall we take a walk together? CATHERINIE (nods): YES!! YES!!! OF COURSE!!! AMELIA (sternly): Typical. I gave Catherine a compliment and what does she do? She lets her emotions overrule her. EMILY (smiles): I want my emotions to overrule me someday, with the right guy.... AMELIA (shocked): EMILY!!! Romance is illogical... EMILY (turns to look at Otto Jr and Catherine): I don't think THEY believe it is! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
