Otto & Sam -- "The German Shepard Club" The scene is a large country estate outside of Austin, Texas. A black van with the red Road Rover insignia on the side drives up the long driveway towards a large mansion. In this van are six Road Rovers: DJ, Maxx, Star, Zac, Hope and Otto. MAXX (looks out window): WHOA!!!! Check out this place! STAR (nods): Yeah, it's HUGE!!! OTTO (sternly): This mansion is the home of Faldo Wilco, owner of several internet companies as well as a number of horse racing stables, an Arena League Football franchise, several fast food enterprises ... DJ (interrupts): We get the picture, Otto, Mr Wilco is LOADED! ZAC (looks out window): Hokaai! Americans certainly know how to live! DJ (sternly): Guys, lets all remember why we are here! OTTO (nods): Affirmative, Mr Wilco will be presenting us with a large bank draft intended for charitable purposes ... STAR (smiles): He's giving us a check for the Children's Hospital OTTO (looks at Star): I believe I have just stated that MAXX (confused): But why do all of us have to come along? DJ (steering towards the front gate): Because Mr Wilco specifically asked for us six Rovers to come and pick up the check. (sighs): Molly begged to come with us, but Mr Wilco's instructions were clear. ZAC (nods): Ja! I know what you mean. Tammy wanted to come, too! OTTO (nods): As did my wife. But we have to respect Mr Wilco's wishes in the matter. MAXX (nods): That's right! The important thing is that the Children's Hospital will be getting a big donation! STAR (nods): Well said, Maxx! DJ (stops the van): Here we are people. Let's get this over with. The six Rovers enter the huge front parlor. The bulter shows them to a large dining room which has a huge table with seven chairs around it. BUTLER (tersely): Be seated here, Mr Wilco will be with you shortly. The butler closes the huge doors as the Rovers slowly walk over to the table. MAXX (points): Looks like we'll be having dinner with this guy! STAR (nods): The table's all set! There's even little cards on the plates with our names on them! OTTO (sternly): No doubt there is a seating arrangement plan in place. DJ (confused): Wait a minute, no one mentioned having to stay for a meal ZAC (nods): Ja! Something doesn't seem right about this HOPE (smiles): Will you guys just relax! So the man wants us to eat with him? Big deal! Just remember the donation! DJ (nods): You're right, Hope. MAXX (smiles): Of course she is! He's probably a private guy that doesn't have company often OTTO (nods): My current data on Mr Wilco does comfirm your theory, Maxx STAR (happy): There, you see? Nothing to worry about! Let's sit down and wait for him! The six Rovers sit down in their 'assigned' seats as a young man walks out. He is rather frail looking, short, and wears glasses. He is dressed in a hawaiian shirt and white slacks. FALDO (beaming): Greetings, Road Rovers! I am Faldo Wilco! I am pleased you all have come to visit me! DJ (confused): Wait a minute, YOU'RE Faldo Wilco? STAR (shocked): But, you're just a kid! HOPE (nods): Well, you are rather young, sir OTTO (sternly): Mr Wilco is eighteen years, four months, ten days and thirteen point four hours old FALDO (laughs): That's correct, Otto! You six have to be the finest German Shepards on earth! That's why you're here! ZAC (confused): Half a mo', sir. We're here to collect that donation for the Children's Hospital you promised FALDO (nods): I see! Well, I have other plans! Faldo pushes a button underneath the table, each of the Rovers chairs instantly 'cuffs' their wrists and ankles securely. Otto soon begins to slump forward. MAXX (screams): HEY!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL???? FALDO (smiles): You will all soon see what the 'deal' is, my dear! HOPE (screams): OTTO!!! DJ (growls): What did you do to him? FALDO (nods): His chair is special, it's draining his energy away. Can't have any of his built in devices interfering with my plans! Soon, the room fills with a white gas. Faldo puts on a gas mask as he watches all the Rovers pass out in their chairs. FALDO (shouts): Take them to the basement, to the room we have prepared for them! An hour of time passes, the six Road Rovers awaken to find themselves in a white paneled room furnished like a doctor's waiting room. A door is half open, revealing a dimly lit bedroom. Through a two way mirror, Faldo Wilco watches with glee as the Rovers stand up and look around. DJ (looking around): What kind of place is this? STAR (turns to Otto): Otto, can you scan the area or teleport us out of here? OTTO (sternly): I cannot. All of my internal systems except life support are offline. Apparently someone has tampered with my circuitry and disabled my other functions. FALDO (on PA system): That's right, Otto! And the rest of you will notice I've taken the liberty of removing your collars and replacing them with my own invention! The Faldo obedience collar! I will demonstrate! Suddenly, a powerful electrical charge surges through each of the Rover's collars. All six grimmance in pain until the collars are 'turned off' FALDO (on PA system): Obey me, and you'll be rewarded with your lives. Disobey me, and you'll feel pain like you've never felt it before! MAXX (growls): Why have you done this to us? FALDO (on PA system): It's simple, dogs! You six German Shepard are now MY property! I'm your master now, and your master wants you six to breed! STAR (shocked): Huh? DJ (shocked): Say what? MAXX (angry): Not on your life, nerd! FALDO (on PA system): DON'T EVER CALL ME NERD AGAIN!!! You six dogs are here for the rest of your lives, during that time you'll bring me litter after litter of super cano puppies! I'll be the greatesr German Shepard breeder in the world! OTTO (sternly): I must protest, Mr Faldo. I am married and ... FALDO (on PA system): Canine marriages mean NOTHING to me! You're all just a bunch of dogs, that's all! DJ (growls): Wait till I get my hands on you! Suddenly, DJ once more winches in pain as his collar is activated. STAR (shouts): STOP IT!! YOU'RE HURTING HIM!!! OTTO (sternly): You are causing DJ physical damage! MAXX (growls): Leave him alone! FALDO (on PA system): Two of you better start breeding with each other or DJ dies! HOPE (shouts): STOP!!! OK, I'll go first, (turns to Otto): With Otto! OTTO (shocked): Hope? DJ's collar is turned off, he falls to the floor, Star, Maxx and Zac rush to his side. FALDO (on PA system): A wise decision, Hope! You and Otto enter the bedroom alone. When you are finished, the next pair will enter. MAXX (turns to Hope): Hope? Are you crazy? STAR (turns to Hope): You can't go through with this? HOPE (sadly): What choice do we have? I had to make him stop punishing DJ... (looks at Otto): C'mon Otto OTTO (bewildered): Hope? Is this a logical course of action? Hope takes Otto by the hand, enters the bedroom door and shut it. HOPE (whispers): Play along, Otto, I have a plan to rescue us. Go lay down on the bed and take your shirt off. OTTO (shocked): Hope? HOPE (whispers): They may be watching us, we'll make it look convincing, please Otto, I know what I'm doing Otto walks over to the bed and removes his shirt. Hope slowly opens the drawers of the dresser searching for ... HOPE (to herself): What luck! A small tool kit! I'll hide it in my blouse. FALDO (on PA system): You two stop stalling! HOPE (growls); HEY!!! Otto and I don't need an audience! FALDO (on PA system): Very well, now get to WORK!! OTTO (scared): Hope.... Hope walks over to the bed and gets under the covers. HOPE (whispers): Pull the covers over us, Otto. This way I can open up your back panel and get your bionic systems working again. OTTO (whispers, relieved): Oh! Now I understand.... a very clever plan..... Otto pulls the covers over them and Hope begins to remove Otto's small back panel. In the other room DJ, Star, Maxx and Zac are seated, looking at each other and then at the floor. FALDO (on PA system): Why do my doggies look so glum? You six will make history! Imagine, you'll be the proud parents of the strongest, mightiest German Shepard puppies in the world! DJ (shouts): SHUT UP ALREADY!! MAXX (turns to DJ): DJ! Stop it or he'll shock you again! FALDO (on PA system): Very wise, Maxx. NOW you are learning. Glance at the TV monitor and see how well your friends have adapted to the situation. The other four Rovers gasp as they see the bedroom, both Otto and Hope are still covered up by the bedspread, but they all can see the bedspread 'moving'. STAR (turns her head): Oh no... MAXX (sadly): Poor Hope and Otto... ZAC (grits his teeth): You're a bloomin' monster for forcing them to do this! Immediately, Zac falls to the floor screaming as his collar is activated. After a few seconds, his collar is turned off again. FALDO (on PA system): No more talk like that, Zac! For that little outburst, you go NEXT!! DJ (angry, to himself): If I ever get out of this, THAT nerd is HISTORY! Under their covers, Hope completes her repairs on Otto's circuitry. HOPE (whispers): Ok Otto, play along with me, we can't let Faldo suspect anything OTTO (whispers): I understand. Still fully clothed, Hope pokes her head through the covers and pretends to be putting her clothes on beneath the bedspread. FALDO (on PA system): I can't believe this! Why are you dogs so modest? I shouldn't even allow you to wear clothes! HOPE (shouts): Hey! We're doing what you told us to so stop complaining! Otto now also 'pretends' to put his clothes on, lastly pulling his shirt over his head. FALDO (on PA system): Be more respectful of your new master, Hope! Hope and Otto now re-enter the main room, the others are speechless as they gaze upon their friends. FALDO (on PA system): Ok! You're next Zac, choose your mate! ZAC (angry): This is sheer madness! FALDO (on PA system): You are being disobedient, Zac! I'll turn up the juice to FULL POWER!! HOPE (shouts): NOW OTTO!!! Otto turns and fires his eye lasers at the two way mirror, making it shatter. The six Rovers can now see Faldo holding a small black device in his hands. FALDO (furious): YOU ALL PAY FOR THIS!!! Before he can push any more buttons, Otto's eye lasers melt the device into a pile of dripping plastic and silver. DJ (jumps up and points): You're all MINE NOW!! FALDO (shouting): GUARDS!!! STOP THEM!!! STAR (shouts): Let's get'm! DJ begins chasing Faldo down the hallway, Maxx morphs into a grizzley bear and leaps at the guards. MAXX (flashing her long, sharp claws): This is our escape clause, gentlemen, I suggest you all RUN!! Maxx takes a swing at the guards, causing them all to drop their weapons and run away screaming. HOPE (laughing): Nice work, Maxx! STAR (looks around): Where's DJ and that nerd go? ZAC (points): DJ was chasin' that bloak that way! OTTO (sternly): Scanning.... (shocked): OH NO!!! Otto uses his super speed to find DJ, who is viciously beating Faldo. DJ (furious): And this one's for Maxx! (punchs him in the stomach) And THIS one's for Star! (smacks him in the jaw) You creep! And this is for what you made Otto and Hope do! OTTO (shouts): DJ! WAIT!!! CEASE VIOLENT ACTION!!! DJ (angry): You can't talk me out of this, Otto! This idiot's gonna pay for what he did to us! Otto rushes over to DJ's side and whispers in his ear. DJ (calmer): So, you mean that you and Hope didn't .... OTTO (nods): That is correct. It was all a clever ploy to gain our freedom, nothing more. DJ (picks up Faldo by the shirt collar): You are one LUCKY man! As DJ releases him, a loud BOOM!!!! shakes the mansion. Samantha Maddog, Molly Maddog, Hunter, Colleen, Tammy and Exile appear. HUNTER (looks all around): DJ, buddy, I see you have the situation under control. SAMANTHA (timidly); Excuse me, DJ, sir, but is this the man who held you captive here? DJ (nods): Yep, that's him Sam. SAMANTHA (calmly): Oh... (she runs over, grabs Faldo and shakes him violently); YOU LUNATIC!!! I'M GOING TO BITE YOU SO HARD YOUR GRANDMA'S GONNA FEEL IT!! OTTO (shocked): SAM!!! EXILE (shocked): Comrade Samski! Otto and Exile have to pull Samantha away from the terrified nerd. She is still growling and barking wildly as she is taken out of the room. Molly runs over and hugs DJ. MOLLY (cries): Oh DJ! I'm glad you're alright! DJ (nods): Me too, Molly! When Colleen clears her throat, Molly releases the hug and looks very embarrassed. COLLEEN (points): We better get the rest of the baddies rounded up for the police! HUNTER (nods): Good idea! When Hunter, Tammy and Colleen leave the room, DJ and Molly follow them out, exchanging smiles as they go. Soon, they all find the other Rovers. TAMMY (hugging Zac): Oh Zac! I'm glad that evil human didn't succeed in his plans! ZAC (nods): So am I, my darling! TAMMY (whispers in Zac's ear); If anyone's gonna breed with you, it'll be ME, after we get married! Suddenly, Zac gets a very bewildered look on his face. OTTO (sternly): It would appear that Zac is still in a severe state of shock! TAMMY (winks at the others): Not exactly, folks.... The scene now shifts to Road Rover Mission Control, several hours later. The Master stands on his platform in front of DJ, Molly, Otto, Samantha, Maxx, Star, Hope, Zac, Tammy, Hunter, Colleen, Exile, Shag, Blitz and Daidum. MASTER (addressing the group); Road Rovers, you are all good, good dogs! Thanks to Hope's resourcefulness, we were able to find all of you and stop Faldo Wilco's evil plans. Good work! HOPE (smiles): Thank you Master, but it was a team effort. Otto looks very embarrassed when Hope says that. Samantha holds his hand and smiles. BLITZ (shakes head): But I don't understand! Why didn't duh mad man vant ME as breeding stock? After all, I am dee best Road Rover! COLLEEN (giggles); Anyone would have to be a madman to want you, Blister! BLITZ (angry): Dat's Blitz! COLLEEN (rolls eyes): Whatever... BLITZ (turns to Daidum): Hey pretty dog girl! Since you and I are both Dobermans and ... DAIDUM (turns nose up): Blitz, I vouldn't even vant to be seen vith a loser like you! BLITZ (shocked): HEY!!! I vas only asking for a date! DAIDUM (looks at herself in her compact mirror): Exactly! You have all the maturaty of a new born puppy and duh personality of saurkraut! BLITZ (smiles): And? Vhat's your point? Daidum walks out the door, Bliz still stands there, confused. BLITZ (confused): VHAT'S THE POINT? EXILE (laughs): The point is on top of your head, weirdboy! All the Rovers laugh except Blitz. HUNTER (shouts): TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!!!! All of the Rovers howl in unison. -----------------------------------------------------------------
