Otto & Sam -- "Cruisin' For Trouble -- Part 2" The black-clothed person stood near the chained-up Gila Monster, waiting for a reply. GILA MONSTER (angry): I knows one thing for sure! I hates being chained up like this! With two mighty tugs from his arms, the chains holding his arms are broken. He gives two powerful kicks forward and his leg chains break also. The startled figures run away in different directions. The Gila runs over and grabs one of them by the coat as the others disappear into the darkness. GILA MONSTER (snorts): Well, as least I gots one of you dingledoofs! (looks at the scared man): You and me is gonna go see the Captain! The scene now switches to the Road Rover's quarters a half hour later. Otto is still sound asleep on the floor while Boomerang, No36s and Alice Kiddman are all sleeping away in their bunks. The telephone rings repeatedly, Boomerang is the closest one to it, so he anwsers it. Startled by what he hears, he jumps down from the bunk and turns the lights on. This awakens No36s and Alice, Otto is still asleep on the floor. BOOMERANG (whispers): Er..guys. That was the Chief of Security. They said that the Gila Monster had been kidnapped but escaped and got one of his captors before the others left. NO36S (shocked): That's impossible! We left him out on the deck..... ALICE (shocked): HOLY CRUD!!! The three open the cabin door and see that both the Gila and his chair are missing. They slowly close the door and look at each other. BOOMERANG (whispers): Hold it down, guys. We can handle this ourselves, Otto is still asleep and the girls don't need to know what we did with the Gila tonight, right? NO36S (nods): Right! ALICE (nods): No telling what Princess would do if she found out! Suddenly there is a knock on their cabin door, No36s opens it. There is Samantha and Princess dressed in their nightgowns. SAMANTHA (timidly): Excuse me, Mr No36s, sir, but we needed to speak with you! PRINCESS (nods): We got a call from the head of ship security! My man was kidnapped and escaped! BOOMERANG (nods): We know, we got a call earlier SAMANTHA (looks around): Where's Otto? ALICE (points): Still asleep over there! SAMANTHA (shouts): WAKE UP DARLING! Otto is still asleep, she walks over and gently shakes him, his eyes slowly open. SAMANTHA (frantic): Otto! We have to go to the security office! OTTO (yawns): Affirmative. I am not detecting the Gila Monster.... SAMANTHA (sternly): He's waiting for us there! Let's go! BOOMERANG (looks at Otto): Man, how did you sleep through all that racket? OTTO (sternly): I deactivated my audio receptors ALICE (laughs): So that's how you slept through all that snoring! OTTO (confused): What snoring? NO36S (laughs): That lizard man was SO loud we had to set him out ..... ALICE (interrupts): Shhhhhhhhhhh! NO36S (whispers): Oh yeah.... sorry... PRINCESS (sternly): Set him out WHERE? BOOMERANG (swallows hard): Well... we.... sort of ... left him on the deck.... PRINCESS (shocked): YOU DID WHAT???? NO36S (defensive): Hey! The guy was snoring like a frieght train! ALICE (nods); We had to do it! PRINCESS (shaking in rage): WHY YOU..... SAMANTHA (stands between them): Please, we don't have time for this! We have to go now! OTTO (sternly): My wife is correct, we must go to the Security Chief's office! Princess growls at the three as they all rush out the door and towards the elevator. Within minutes they are in the Security Chief's office. They find the Gila Monster being held back by three of the ship's security officers. The man he captured cringes in a corner of the room. GILA MONSTER (struggles): Let's me go! I just wanna pound that gooberoo a little! I won't hurt him... much! OTTO (sternly): Gila, please restrain your anger! FRANK (smiles): Glad you guys got here! I'm Frank Ford, the acting Chief of Security. Maybe you can talk some sense into your reptile friend! SAMANTHA (softly): Mr Gila, sir, would you please tell us what happened? GILA MONSTER (struggles): All I knows is when I woke up, I was chained to a wall and this dingledork and his buddies wanted me to spill my guts! OTTO (confused): Spilling of guts would require a surgicial procedure GILA MONSTER (shakes head): They wanted me to tell'm all about you guys! PRINCESS (shocked): How horrible! BOOMERANG: Why did they want to know about us? OTTO (slimes): We can ask the prisoner! MAN (angry): I not talkin' dogface! NO36S (smiles): Maybe we can let the Gila loose! I'll bet HE can get some information out of him! ALICE (nods): No doubt! GILA MONSTER (huge grin): Works for ME! OTTO (turns to the prisoner): I would suggest that you answer our questions truthfully, otherwise our reptile friend could cause you very severe bodily harm.. MAN (scared): OK OK!!! YOU WIN!!! SAMANTHA (softly): Them tell us, sir, who are you working for and why did you capture the Gila Monster? MAN (calmly): I work for Zachary Storm! We were sent on this cruise when Storm heard that your group was aboard. BOOMERANG (angry): STORM!!! (growls): You better tell us EVERYTHING you know, jerk! MAN (nods): Storm is running a jewel smuggling operation in Cancun. But that's all I know! I swear! I was only paid to do this job for him, I don't even know ..... GILA MONSTER (grunts): You lyin' pile of .... OTTO (holds up hand): Wait, Gila. My truth detector has been on the entire time. This man is giving us an accurate account of his knowledge. BOOMERANG (nods): So he's telling the truth, what about the rest of your gang, punk? GILA MONSTER (snorts): Yeah, tell us doofus, or you're gonna meet my 2 x 4 up close and personal! MAN (shaking): Ok ok... they probably escaped during the night, that was their orders if any of the rest of us were captured! I don't know where they are, I swear! NO36S (sternly): You better be giving us some names, clown, or you're SHARK BAIT!! OTTO (sternly): Scanning..... confirmed. Five lifeboats are missing from the port side of this vessel. The subject is still giving us an accurate account.. . I sense no deception here... FRANK (nods): Looks like we've gotten all we're going to get from this thug, so I'll just... OTTO (puts hand on Frank's shoulder): A moment please... Otto stands directly in front of the prisoner and looks directly into his eyes. A blue beam is now shining from Otto's eyes into his. OTTO (sternly): Cerebral link established... downloading data..... download complete.... (light goes off): Mr Ford, you may escort the felon away now! BOOMERANG (shocked): WHOA DUDE!!! NO36S (surprised): WOW!! ALICE (surprised): What did you do to that loser? OTTO (sternly): I have scanned his mind for all vital information on Zachary's Storm operation. I now have the location of his secret headquarters in Cancun. This person's name is Joe Thomas Arline of San Diego, California, born in ..... PRINCESS (interrupts): Enough with the biographical data, Otto, where is Storm's headquarters? OTTO (sternly): Approximately three point two seven miles due north of the city, in an area filled with ancient Mayan ruins. SAMANTHA (shocked): Oh NO! What can we do? OTTO (sternly): I would suggest that we all get dressed in our Road Rover attire and teleport to their location immediately. Storm is taking the jewels from ancient statues and selling them to a third party aboard this cruise ship! FRANK (anxious): Who? Who is the buyer? OTTO (sternly): Unknown. Joe did not have any data on the buyer's indentity. BOOMERANG (nods): Ok then, let's DO IT! NO36S (nods): Right! ALICE (shouts): We are ROAD ROVERS!!! All of the Rovers howl in unison, the Gila Monster attempts to howl, but sounds aweful BOOMERANG (laughs): Don't quit your day job, bud! Within minuters, Samantha, Otto, Boomerang, No36s, Alice Kiddman and Princess are all in their Road Rover uniforms. The Gila Monster is still wearing his cut off jeans and black leather jacket. Instantly, they teleport inside of a dimly lit Mayan pyramid. OTTO (points): I detect activity in that direction! They all follow Otto to the end of a stone ledge. The ledge is overlooking the entire operation, Storm's troops are seen all over the chamber. Some with picks are digging into the norh wall, some are using lasers to extract several red jewels from a huge stone statue of an ancient idol. Still others are carefully placing the finished gems into cigarette packages and cosmetic cases. BOOMERANG (nods): So THAT'S how they're getting the jewels out of the country! NO36S (nods): Let's shut them down! OTTO (ears perk up): Danger! A huge cargo net is falling from the ceiling, Princess 'freezes' time just as the net is about to cover them. Pulling with all her might, she manages to pull the 'frozen' net away from the group and over the two soliders who are hiding behind a column. When time 'restarts', the others are surprised to see the two soldiers in a net several yards away from them. GILA MONSTER (shocked): Hey! What happened? OTTO (scanning): I'm reading faint temporal displacement..... Princess, this is your doing, right? PRINCESS (smiles): Yes! As she speaks, the stone ledge is now shaking as Storm's soldiers in the chamber point their energy weapons up towards the Rovers and fire. BOOMERANG (growls): Let's teach these humans some new tricks! Samantha, Boomerang, No36s, Alice and Princess take out their laser pistols, approach the ledge and begin to rein fire upon Storm's soldiers. Otto repeatedly fires his eye lasers at them. The Gila Monster, seeing about a half dozen soldiers coming up the other side towards them, takes his 2 x 4 and intercepts them. GILA MONSTER (swinging 2 x4 in the air): It's clobberin' time! He soon knocks all of the would be attackers out cold as the others continue their 'firefight' against the others. PRINCESS (shooting): This is a waste of time, I can help end this, if you like Otto! OTTO (nods): Proceed Princess 'freezes' time once more, runs down to where the soldiers are and disarms them. She throws their weapons into a stone pit and is about to snatch Storm's gun when time 'restarts.' Seeing the poodle Rover standing in front of him, he instantly grabs her and points a gun to her head. STORM (shouting): LISTEN UP, MUTTS! SURRENDER NOW, OR THE GIRL DOG DIES! As Princess screams in fright, suddenly, the Gila throws his 2 x 4 like a tomahawk, the spinning, flying hunk of wood hits Storm squarely in the head and knocks him out. Princess runs away as Storm falls to the ground. When several of Storm's soldiers chase after Princess, the others leap down from the ledge and fistfights them. In a matter of minutes, Booerang, No36s, Alice and the others have managed to knock out the remainder of Storm's soldiers. The Gila Monster looks down at the unconscience Storm and snarls. GILA MONSTER (angry): Too bad you is in la la land now, twerp! I'd love to give ya some more lumps on your noggin! OTTO (nods): I have contacted the Mexican authorities, they will be arriving shortly! ALICE (shouts): TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!!!!!!! All of the Rovers howl in unison. The scene is now back on the cruise ship in the evening. Dogstyle is about to perform on stage, Captain Acrab is backstage along with Princess, the Gila Monster and the rest of the group. CAPTAIN (happy): You Road Rovers are something else! The entire ship is talking about how you stop those bad guys in Cancun! And now you're about to grace us with a concert! I'm in seven heaven! BOOMERANG (nods): Thank you, Captain, for booking us for this great cruise! NO36S (nods): That's right! I'm having the time of my life! ALICE (sadly): I'd be having a better time if my Colleen was here... PRINCESS (looks around): What's keeping Sam? It's almost time to begin! Soon, a female collie dressed in a black cut off halter, micro mini skirt, long black boots and fingerless gloves walks slowly out of the dressing room and over to Alice. ALICE (smiles): You're lookin' really GOOD, Sam! COLLEEN (huge grin): This is a case of bloomin' mistaken identity, love! ALICE (excited): COLLEEN!!!!!!!!!!!! The two share a hug as Samantha steps out of the dressing room, she's dressed the same as Colleen. OTTO (turns to Samantha): An explanation is in order.. SAMANTHA (smiles): I know how much Alice has missed her, so I teleported Colleen here for him! BOOMERANG (looks at both of them): WOW!!! You can barely tell'm apart! NO36S (smiles): It's like looking into a mirror! SAMANTHA (smiles): Do all of you mind if she sings a few songs with us? BOOMERANG (happy): Sounds great to me! NO36S (nods): Sure! OTTO (nods): I approve of this idea (turns to Alice): Alice, what do you think? Alice and Colleen are sharing a long passionate kiss. OTTO (sternly): I will take that as an affirmitive reply. PRINCESS (looks at watch): Whoops! Time to start the concert! The Captain introduces the group. CAPTAIN (smiles): The Pacific Queen is proud to present, the music of DOGSTYLE!!!!!!!!!! When the curtain is raised, the applause is thunderous. Fans are screaming at the top of their lungs and waving banners. The concert goes well, Colleen and Samantha sing in perfect harmony. After the last song, fans swarm the stage for autographs and 'souveniers'. When a rapid fan takes Otto's top hat from his head, the Gila Monster jumps out in the middle of the crowd and hisses loudly. This causes a near panic and scared fans race for the exits. BOOMERANG (angry): Gila! Why did you do that? GILA MONSTER (growls): I'm in charge of keeping y'all safe! That crowd looked like they were gonna rip your clothes off! BOOMERANG (smiles): So? Look at all the babes you scared off! NO36S (nods): YEAH! SAMANTHA (scared): I'd prefer not to be mobbed! Alice and Colleen are kissing each other behind the stage. ALICE (smiles): I really miss you, dear! COLLEEN (grins): Sam told me all about it! I talked to the Master, he's letting me stay here with you for the rest of the cruise! ALICE (excited): YES!!!!!!!!! Now, let's you and I take a quiet stroll along the deck! COLLEEN (concerned): But won't we be mobbed by fans? ALICE (smiles): Not if the Gila Monster comes with us! COLLEEN (nods): That's a bloody good idea! Soon, Alice, Colleen, Princess and the Gila Monster all take a moonlight walk on the forward deck. They are joined moments later by Otto, Samantha, Boomerang and No36s. BOOMERANG (smiles): I'm gonna like this cruise! NO36S (nods): Four more nights of this! What a great view of the ocean! (thinks): But what are we gonna do about the Gila Monster's snoring? BOOMERANG (smiles): Leave it to me! The scene is now three in the morning on the upper deck of the ship, several ship security officers are gathered around the forward mast of the ship. OFFICER #1 (looks up): Do you hear that? OFFICER #2 (points): Yes, that dreadful noise is coming from up there! OFFICER #3 (shakes head): That's impossible! The crow's nest shouldn't be manned at this hour! OFFICER #4 (shouts): HEY UP THERE! THIS IS SECURITY! As they shine a bright flash light up at the crow's nest, a half awake Gila Monster looks down on them. GILA MONSTER (screams): Hey you clods! Shut up already or I'll rock y'all to sleep with REAL rocks! The frightened officers run away in fear. GILA MONSTER (mumbles): Them goonies better leave me be! I need my beauty sleep! He lays back down, pulls a blanket over his head, and is soon snoring louder than before ---------------------------------------------------------------------
