Otto & Sam -- "Slow Boat to China" The scene is the home of Nathan and Wanna Lovejoy (aka the Computer Renegade and the Masked Melitta), the owners of Otto and Samantha Maddog. It was a peaceful, Wednesday evening and everyone was seated in the living room watching television. The Computer Gila Monster was visiting, and, as always, arguing about which program to watch. Nathan and Wanna are seated together on the sofa, Otto and Samantha (in their canine forms) lie next to each other on a rug while the Gila Monster is standing up, holding the remote control. GILA MONSTER (clicks remote): I think we should watch the Godzilla Marathon! I love seeing that big green goomer flatening cities and crushing cars with his feet! That reminds me, where's the Computer Dinosaur and Dree-'el? NATHAN (takes remote from the Gila): Those two are out on a date, Gila. I think we should watch my favorite show, Star Trek Voyager! GILA MONSTER (grabs remote back): Where are those two long necked dinosaurs going? It's not like they can walk over to McDonalds and order two thousand Big Macs to go without scaring half of the community! Let's watch pro wrestling! I love watching humans beat the crap out of each other! SAMANTHA (shakes head): That's too violent for me, Mr Gila Monster, sir! OTTO (laughs): I think the big guy and Dree-'el are in the nearby national forest. There's plenty of fresh vegetation there for them to consume while they socialize. WANNA (laughs): You mean plenty of tree tops for them to eat! GILA MONSTER (growls): Herbavores! YUCK!! Now me, I'll eat MEAT and LOTS of it! NATHAN (grabs remote back): We know, Gila! I want to watch Voyager! WANNA (takes remote): Let's stop quarreling! Otto, Sam, we haven't heard what you'd like to watch. SAMANTHA (looks at Otto): Wanna, ma'am, the national frizbee dog championships are on in a few minutes. OTTO (smiles): Yeah! Those dogs are true athletes! GILA MONSTER (angry): Frizbee dogs! YUCK!!! I want violence and bloodshed! Y'all got HBO? WANNA (smirks): Maybe we should make the Gila watch the Brady Bunch marathon! GILA MONSTER (snorts): I'd rather French kiss a light socket! OTTO (quickly stands up): I'm receiving an urgent message from Road Rover Headquarters, looks like they need us again, Nathan. NATHAN (smiles): I understand, Otto. You and Sam run along, and do tell the Master that if he ever needs us, he knows where to find us! SAMANTHA (startled): Oh NO! What's wrong? OTTO (looks at the Gila): Whatever it is, he wants me to bring you and Starlight along! GILA MONSTER (jumps for joy): YES!!!! Anything is better than the Brady Bunch! SAMANTHA (stands up): I'll run out to Starlight's stable and tell her ... OTTO (smiles): If her systems monitor the same frequencies that mine do, she probably already knows! We have no time to lose, here we go! With a loud BOOM!!!! Otto, Samantha and the Gila Monster arrive at Road Rover Headquarters, as Otto and Samantha enter the transdogmafier chambers, another loud BOOM!!! shakes the place as Starlight arrives. All four run to the briefing room, where DJ, Molly Maddog, Dervish, Dylan, Alethia, Cobber and Dawn are already seated. There is a large, detailed map of China on the center viewing screen. MASTER (smiles): Good, you're all here now! Please sit and listen. We have been getting reports from the Chinese government of Cano-Mutant activity in the Hong Kong region. This is the first time that the People's Republic of China has ever asked for the Road Rover's assistance in their internal matters. I have chosen each of you especially for this mission. (uses pointer on map) Several acts of sabatoge have taken place in an area north of Hong Kong. DYLAN: Acts of sabatoge? MASTER: Yes! First, a secret defense computer was stolen. Next, an armory was raided and later on a nuclear research laboratory. Eyewitnesses at each scene indicated that huge dog-like creatures were responsible for the thefts. DAWN (giggles): That's Parvo's bunch alright! OTTO (sternly): I cannot download information from the Chinese government's computer systems. They are encrypted too well. COBBER (puts hand on Otto's shoulder): It's alright, mate! No one's perfect! MASTER: The Chinese have asked for our help, but have made it very clear that our activites will be monitored very closely ... DERVISH (angry): In other words, they don't completely trust us! MASTER (nods): That's about the size of it! SAMANTHA (sadly): That's not exactly a warm welcome, is it, sir? MOLLY (smiles): Don't worry, sis! I'm an expert on international law! MASTER (smiles): Yes Molly, I know you father's law firm handles many cases for the Chinese government, that's why I chose you for this mission. COBBER (curious): That's fine and all, but why did you choose the rest of us? MASTER (smiles): I chose Alethia because she's somewhat familiar with Chinese culture and customs. I chose DJ and Dervish because of their skills in equipment and electronics repair. I chose Otto because of his built-in universal translator. You'll be able to communicate better with him along. And I chose the rest of you for your superior fighting skills. STARLIGHT (neighs): And why did you ask for me, Master? MASTER (smiles): Starlight, you have the most important assignment of all! The Chinese are familiar with the Road Rovers, but they don't know about you and the Gila Monster. You'll both go undercover with my Rovers, just in case anything goes wrong use your teleportation circuitry to bring them all home, OK? STARLIGHT (sadly): Does that mean I'll be pulling a ricshaw? MASTER: Yes, you will, my friend. You and Otto keep a constant data link to each other in case of emergencies. Rovers, this will not be an easy mission. Not only will you be battling Parvo, you may end up fighting with PLA forces as well as the Chinese secret service. We must stop Parvo's plans at any cost! Alethia, I'm putting you and Otto in charge of this mission. You have your assignment, good luck! ALETHIA (stands up): We're dogs with a mission, we're Road Rovers! All the dogs howl in unison. OTTO (looks at Alethia): Alethia, give me exact coordiniates so I can teleport us there! ALETHIA (shakes head): No Otto, I know the Chinese. They'd be very suspicious if we all suddenly appeared on their doorstep. MOLLY: She's right! We'd better make an 'official' arrival, perhaps at Hong Kong's International airport. GILA MONSTER (grumbles): Hey, what about Starlight and me? MASTER (walks towards him): You and Starlight will teleport yourselves to a small stable just outside the city which is un by one of our operatives. They will prepare you for your role in this mission. STARLIGHT (smiles): I hope they'll have some oats there, I'm starving! GILA MONSTER (stratches head): I wonder what Chinese ants taste like? DJ (smiles): You are one weird dude, Gila! GILA MONSTER (smiles): Thanks, pal! With that, the Gila Monster and Starlight disappear with one loud BOOM!!!! The Road Rovers board a Jet Rover and immediately take off for Hong Kong. Upon their arrival at the airport they are greeted by Ming Cu Lwo, official government represtative and two uniformed PLA soldiers. As they are being escorted to the front gate, Mr Lwo introduces himself and begins to explain the situation. LWO: Road Rovers, we are in need of your assistance! OTTO (smiles): That's what we're here for, Deputy Lwo! LWO (surprised): Remarkable! You can speak and understand our language! The nuclear research labratory just north of here was raided last night. The experimental reactor and several power grids were damaged, and my people can't get them operating again. OTTO (smiles): Mr Lwo, our team can handle this, any other problems we can help you with? LWO (stunned): You seem very eager to help us! That is good! A military defense computer was stolen from a base two miles north of the city. This computer handles our nuclear weapons deployment and armament procedures. We have an extra unit, it must be installed and operational immediately! OTTO (smiles): Dervish and I are computer experts! Any additional requests? LWO (amazed): You are full of confidence! Very well, the local PLA armory was raided. Our intelligence division is baffled. We lack any clue as to where the theives have taken the sloten merchandise! OTTO (points): Is that a list of the missing items? LWO (nods): Yes! Can you read Chinese as well as you speak it? OTTO (nods and looks at list): WOW! Some portable missle launchers, two dozen rifles, ammunition, grenades and a half dozen land mines. LWO (takes list back): We do know one thing, Otto, our intelligence sources indicate that these acts of sabotage may be the work of General Parvo. That's why you Road Rovers are here, you have experience dealing with this international terrorist! OTTO (bows): It is a great honor to assist your government in any way we can! LWO (smiles): You are very polite and well mannered, for an American! My men will be watching, oh, I mean assisting you in every phase of this operation. Do you have any suggestions on the best way to proceed? OTTO (bows): If it pleases you, Mr Lwo, I'll divide my team into three groups. DJ, Molly and Dylan will go to the nuclear plant to repair your reactor and power grids. Dervish, Dawn and I will assist in fixing your military computer while the rest of my team will go to the armory to search for clues on the missing mutitions. Is that agreeable, sir? LWO (smiles): Yes, you Road Rovers are not only efficent, but also well organized. OTTO (bows): Thank you, Mr. Lwo. May our team travel by ricshaw? LWO (laughs): By all means! I thought you Americans only enjoyed travel by auto, I am honored that you and your group would be so respectful of our traditions! (points) There's one over there! I will commandeer it for you! As Deputy Lwo and his arm guards run over to the ricshaw, Cobber turns to Alethia. COBBER (whispers): Alethia, you're the leader! Why didn't you speak up? ALETHIA (whispers back): Cobber, the Chinese are a very patriachial society. It is considered bad manners for a female to speak without being spoken to, let alone to be a 'team leader' of any kind. DJ (pats Otto on the back): Boy Otto, you sure know which buttons to push on that deputy guy! OTTO (smiles): I have an extensive database in Chinese culture. Besides, like all humans, one simply needs to appeal to their egos. DYLAN (laughs): Back in Jersey, we call that brown-nosing! OTTO (turns to Dylan): Whatever label you place on it, that's the way the game is played here, Dylan. DAWN (looks all around): I'm hungry! Let's go out for Chinese food! ALETHIA (smiles): Heel, Dawn. I'm sure our hosts will feed us. It is oriental tradition. OTTO (chuckles): Look over there! Mr Lwo is commandeering the ricshaw that Starlight is pulling! SAMANTHA (smiles): That holographic disguise that the Gila Monster is wearing really makes him look like a local villiager! DJ (worried): I hope he doesn't blow his cover with that bad attitude of his! DERVISH (chuckles): He seems to be cooperating with Mr Lwo, the ricshaw is coming this way! Starlight's ricshaw stops in front of Otto and the other Rovers. Mr Lwo hands Otto a map of the city. LWO (points): These locations I have circled are the research lab and the two military bases your people will need to visit. This ricshaw driver has graciously volunteered to take you and your team anywhere you need to go in all of Hong Kong! You will begin to work immediately. The Road Rovers bow to Mr Lwo and his men and quickly board the ricshaw. Soon, they are on their way to the research lab, Otto turns to the others and whispers. OTTO (whispers): Starlight has detected a listening device was planted in this ricshaw by one of Lwo's men, she's jamming the signal with fake conversations so we can speak freely now. We are also being followed by two automoblies about a hundred meters away. One is registered to the government, the other has no registration. ALETHIA (whispers): Wonderful! Looks like Parvo's goons may be tailing us also! DAWN (stands up and looks behind): Why can't we just attack them and be done with it? ALETHIA (pulls Dawn back into her seat): Dawn, we can't do anything rash. Remember, the Chinese don't trust us, if we start attacking him without any hard evidence, we'll look like spies ourselves! DAWN (smiles): Oh yeah, I forgot. OTTO (whispers): For now we have to play the 'game' their way. DJ, Molly, Dylan, this is your stop! Be careful, OK? DYLAN (confused): Why do you want me to go with DJ and Molly? I don't know how to .... OTTO (interrupts): Just in case anything goes wrong, you can help DJ and Molly escape or fight, now do you understand? DYLAN (nods): I got it, Otto! The ricshaw stops in front of the entrance to the research lab. DJ, Molly and Dylan get out and walk towards the front gate. The security guard lets them in and other guards lead them inside. OTTO (smiles): Next stop, the military base. Alethia, the armory will be the last stop. Proceed cautiously and remember, Starlight and the Gila will be waiting in the ricshaw if you need them. GILA MONSTER (turns around): This is boring! I want to beat up someone! OTTO (motions): Shhhhhhhhh! Patience, my reptile friend. Don't blow your cover! DAWN (whispers): I'm still hungry! OTTO (whispers): We'll be at a military base, perhaps they'll let us chow down in their mess hall. SAMANTHA (sadly, whispers): Honey, why couldn't I go with you instead of with Cobber and Alethia? OTTO (whispers): Because you have a universal translator in your collar, Alethia and Cobber don't. SAMANTHA (sadly): I don't want to leave your side.... OTTO (whispers): It'll be alright, Starlight will be monitoring you outside in case something goes wrong. Otto and Samantha kiss as the ricshaw stops in front of the military base. Otto, Dawn and Dervish step out and are escorted inside by PLA soldiers. The ricshaw continues on towards the armory. ALETHIA (whipsers): There's a good chance that all of us will be watched at all times. Be careful. COBBER (whispers): I hope these bloaks don't get too close to me! I'd rather work alone... ALETHIA (whispers): Don't cop an attitude, my friend! As the only male, you will have to do all the talking. Follow Otto's example, OK? COBBER (grins): So, you two ladies are my servant girls, huh? SAMANTHA (startled): Servant girls? ALETHIA (sternly): Don't bury yourself in the part, Cobber, remember I'm still in charge! COBBER (smiles): I was only funning, love! ALETHIA (points): No time for clowning, you two! We're here! Alethia, Cobber and Samantha get out of the ricshaw and are escorted inside the armory by more PLA soldiers. The ricshaw stays outside the gate as the others enter the building. The scene shifts back to the research lab, where DJ and Molly are in the basement repairing the damaged power grid controls. Dylan stands motionless as he watches three armed guards staring at him. DYLAN (growls quietly): I'd like to tell them to take a picture, it'd last longer! DJ (looks up at Dylan, whispering): Don't do that! Molly has a universal translator in her collar, they'd understand every word you'd say! (talks outloud): Dylan, would you get me that manifold relay over there, please? DYLAN (smiles): Sure thing, DJ! As Dylan walks towards the other side of the room, he stops when many rifles are pointed at him. One of the guards picks up the manifold relay and hands it to Dylan. He slowly walks back to DJ. DYLAN (hands the relay to him, whispers): Boy, these guys are sure paranoid! DJ (mounts relay under control panel): Take it easy, Dylan. I'm almost finished, once we're done we can rejoin the others at the armory. MOLLY (uses wrench on a side panel, whispers): The sooner, the better, DJ! These guys look really scary! DJ (stands up and holds Molly's hand): Relax, Molly collie, there's nothing to worry about! Molly smiles as she briefly stares into DJ's eyes, but quickly returns to work when one of the guards shouts at them. Meanwhile at the military base, Otto, Dawn and Dervish are busy installing a new computer hardware panel. They are being assisted by Wui Dong, chief computer specialist on the base. WUI DONG (smiles): I must say, you Road Rovers certainly have a vast knowledge of computer components! OTTO (installs a motherboard): You could say I have much practical experience in hardware applications DERVISH (smiles): You can say that again, Otto! WUI DONG (turns to Samantha): Young lady, would you please get some tea for myself and your co-workers? At first, Dawn smirks but then she sees Otto shaking his head, then she smiles and bows. DAWN: I'll be right back, Wui Dong! When Dawn walks towards the door, several soldiers turn their rifles at her and point, causing her to scream loudly. WUI DONG (stands up and shouts): It's alright! She's bringing us some tea, let her pass! The soldiers laugh as they lower their rifles and open the door for Dawn. Still visibly shaken, she slowly walks down the hallway to fetch the tea. DERVISH (growls): Did you see the way they treated Dawny? OTTO (sadly, whispering): I know, Derv, but I can't risk making a scene. WUI DONG (bows): Forgive my men, they have a tendency to be somewhat trigger happy. OTTO (bows): All is forgiven, Mr Dong, when Derv connects these last few wires, this new unit will be operational. Dawn nervously reenters the room with a serving tray with many cups of tea on it. The soldiers each grab a cup from the tray as Dawn passes by. She bows and hands Wui Dong a cup of tea. Wui Dong takes it and frowns. WUI DONG (sternly): You were supposed to hold the tray and let ME take my cup of tea. Oh well, you're an American, you don't understand such things. Dawn was furious, but calmed down quickly when she saw Otto smile and shake his head. Wui Dong reached around and turned on the newly installed computer unit. WUI DONG (typing on keypad, looking at monitor): Yes! You two have succeeded! This unit seems to be somewhat faster than the previous one! Now we once more have control over our missle systems! OTTO (bows): Delighted to assist you, Mr Dong! DERVISH (bows): Yeah, likewise, I'm sure! Dawn bows but doesn't speak. Wui Dong walks over to the other side of the room and picks up the phone. DAWN (whispers): I'd love to bite that arragant little ..... OTTO (whispers): Heel, Dawn. We can't jeopardize this mission over a little problem like this. DAWN (whispers): Little problem? OTTO (motions): Quiet, Mr Dong is returning. WUI DONG (smiles): Excellent work, Road Rovers. There is a military transport waiting for you downstairs, you will be joining your friends at the armory. My men will escort you to the outer gate. OTTO (bows): Honored to serve you, sir! Dervish and Dawn bow as all three leave the room. Meanwhile, at the armory, Alethia, Cobber and Samantha are inside the huge metal building, looking for clues. All the while, many armed PLA soldiers are watching their every move. ALETHIA (whispers to Cobber): I sure hate being stared at all the time... COBBER (whispers to Alethia): It is bloody annoying! Samantha is near an open door and sees a soda machine in the other room, When she walks over towards the door, several soldiers point their rifles at her and yell "HALT!" SAMANTHA (angry, shouts): I ONLY WANT TO GET A SODA!! WHY ARE YOU POINTING YOUR GUNS AT ME? The soldiers grow angrier and tell her to get back to work. Alethia whispers to Cobber and he quickly runs over to Samantha. COBBER (smiles): Gentlemen, forgive my girlfriend! I had told her to get all of us something to drink! We meant no harm or offense. Cobber bows in front of the soldiers and they start laughing. SAMANTHA (under her breath): GIRLFRIEND? Samantha looks at Alethia, who winks at her, and then calms down. One of the soldiers follows Samantha to the soda machine, which doesn't accept American currency. The soldier smiles and gives her some change out of his pocket. She bows silently and gets three cans of soda out of the machine. As she is returning to the room, the soldier pats Samantha once on the behind and smiles. She growls, but remembering what Alethia had said earlier, walks away quietly. SAMANTHA (hands Cobber a can of soda, whispers): That guy was a pig! I'd love to kick him so hard in the .... COBBER (interrupts): Calm down, Sam, can't make a scene, can we? SAMANTHA (hands Alethia a can of soda, whispers): That goon better not touch me again! ALETHIA (holds Dawn's hand, whispers): Steady, Sam, this will all be over soon. Cobber, I found some strange markings on the wall next that pile of bazooka shells. Walk over there and then yell for us to join you, it'd look better if a male made the discovery, if you know what I mean... COBBER (stands up and smiles): I get it, love! Cobber walks towards the pile of bazooka shells, when he does, several of the soldiers point their weapons at him and shout "HALT!" COBBER (turns around): Will you bloaks relax? I see something here on the wall! (calls out) Alethia, Samantha, come over here and look at this! Alethia and Samantha run over to where Cobber is standing. COBBER (smiles): Alethia, what do you make of this? ALETHIA (touches the markings): Looks like marks left by your typical Cano-Mutant! (points to the floor) Look down here! These mongrels had muddy boots! Some of this looks like fresh volcanic ash. Hmmmmm.. As Alethia takes some of the mud and rubs it with her fingers, Samantha looks behind her and is scared. SAMANTHA (whispers to Cobber): That soldier that grabbed me is following me... he's moving up behind me..... COBBER (whispers): I have an idea, just play along, OK? Samantha nods her head as the soldier moves behind her and starts to pat her on the rear again. Cobber quickly turns around. COBBER (angry): Hey, you stupid bloak! She's me girlfriend, and if anyone's going to do that, it's ME! Cobber playfully pats Samantha on the behind as all of the soldiers laugh hysterically. Samantha growls at Cobber but he quickly takes her aside. COBBER (whispers in her ear): Sam, I had to do that, that man looks like he wants to do more to you than just pat your fanny. Samantha now realizes that Cobber was trying to protect her. SAMANTHA (whispers to Cobber): Will you have to kiss me? COBBER (whispers to Samantha): I hope not, love, I don't want your hubby to turn me into a flaming cherry jubilee! ALETHIA (stands up): I think I know where this mud came from.... As Alethia is yet speaking, Otto, Dawn, Dervish, DJ, Molly and Dylan enter the armory, escorted by many PLA soldiers and Wui Dong. ALETHIA (picks up another clump of mud and hands it to Otto): Perhaps you should analyze this, Otto! OTTO (stares at it): Analysis complete. This unique combination of soil is found in a location due east of our present location, an abandoned rock quarry in the Cantonese countryside. WUI DONG (smiles): Excellent bit of detective work! I'll have PLA soldiers surround the place and ... OTTO (interrupts): With all due respect, Mr Dong, but perhaps you'd better leave Parvo and his cronies to us. WUI DONG (frowns): Well, I don't know. OTTO (smiles): At least let us go in first, after that the People's Republic of China can have him! WUI DONG (smiles): Agreed! OTTO (bows to Hui Dong): Ok Rovers, let's go! They all howl in unison as they run for the exit, the soldiers all point their guns at them and shout "HALT!" WUI DONG (shouts): Let them go, and that's an order! I've given them a mission to complete! The soldiers lower their rifles and let the Road Rovers pass. They quickly get into the ricshaw and head towards the quarry. OTTO (whispers to the others): Starlight has her jammer turned back on. We're still being followed by the same two automobiles. SAMANTHA (panics): Oh NO! What are we going to do? OTTO (whispers): We've coming to a fork in the road, Starlight has a plan, watch! As the ricshaw takes one of the roads, Starlight uses her image projector to make another 'ricshaw' appear on the other road. Otto uses his invisibility shield to make their ricshaw instantly disappear. The two cars chase after the 'projection." OTTO (smiles): Since Starlight's image projector has a range of a half mile, we'll be long gone by the time the image disapates. Starlight says she's ready to travel at top speed, everyone strap yourselves down! DAWN (reaches underneath her seat): Kewl! Seat beats! DYLAN (clicks his seat beat): The Master thought of everything, didn't he? OTTO (buckles up): Well, that's everyone! GO FOR IT, STARLIGHT! The mighty white horse runs at her top speed, leaving a small trail of fire behind her. Within seconds, the ricshaw stops in front of the rock quarry. It is a dank, lonely looking place with one small building on it. The Rovers run towards the small building and enter. As they shut the door, they soon find themselves surrounded by armed Cano-Mutants and humans. The Rovers drop their weapons and put their hands up as Parvo and Groomer walk in. GROOMER (laughs): Your plan worked to perfection, my General! PARVO (smiles): Yes, it did! Thanks to our friend Wui Dong, we not only have the missle launchers, the computer unit and the arms, we now have the Road Rovers, too! (coughs) Longine! ALETHIA (shakes fist at Parvo): So, Wui Dong was in on this all along! PARVO (giggles): That's right, little darling! All of you played right into my trap! And before you even think about it, Otto, this entire building has a electronic scrabbling pulse running through it! Your fancy teleportation circuitry won't save any of you this time! I've even added a laser energy dampening field, so none of your energy weapons will function! This time I thought of everything! OTTO (sadly): He's right! I can't even scan outside these four walls or send any messages out! SAMANTHA (panics): Oh NO! He's got us this time! PARVO (laughs): That's right, Colleen! At long last I'll put all of you mangy mutts to sleep! SAMANTHA (angry): But I'm NOT Colleen! COBBER (growls): I don't need any bloomin' high tech gadgets to take care of the likes of you! Cobber unshealths the sword of Canis, and swings it around to an attack position. GROOMER (picks up a gas grenade): Nighty night, Rovers! Groomer tosses a gas grenade at the Rovers, in the blink of an eye Otto catches it and throws it out the window with all of his might. PARVO (angry): More fast footwork from that mechanical German Shepard! Cano-Mutants, humans, attack them! As Parvo's 'army' surrounds the Road Rovers, a loud noise shakes the entire building. It's Starlight, who is using her powerful 'mule kicks' to open a huge hole in one of the walls. In runs the Computer Gila Monster, swinging his 2 x 4 over his head screaming "it's clobbering time!" Cobber uses his mighty sword to stop several of the mutants. Dylan, Dervish and Otto use their fists to knock out some of humans. Samantha, Dawn and Alethia use their martial arts skills to take several mutants out. In the midst of all the confusion, DJ and Molly sneak around to Parvo's electronic jammering equipment and disable it. DJ (shouts): Hey guys, the jammer's off! OTTO (shouts back): Thanks, DJ! You heard the man, Starlight, open fire! Otto and Starlight use their laser eye beams to explode every electronic device in the building. PARVO (furious): That crazy canine and horse are destroying everything we stole from the Chinese! GROOMER (points to escape tunnel): Time for us to leave, my General! As Parvo and Groomer flee, the entire building is almost ready to explode. Otto and Starlight teleport everyone a safe distance away just as the old quarry buliding explodes in a huge ball of fire and smoke. OTTO (looka around): Several army units are converging on this location! Starlight, Gila Monster, you guys better return to the stable. STARLIGHT (nods): Ok, we're gone! With a loud BOOM!!!! Starlight and the Gila Monster disappear. Within minutes, three tanks and five jeeps stop in front of the burning quarry building. Wui Dong and Ming Cu Lwo are with the soldiers when they arrive. LWO (sadly): Road Rovers, is that where all of the stolen items were held? OTTO (bows): I'm afraid so, Mr Lwo. Parvo and the Groomer got away, but we did manage to capture all of these Cano-Mutants and humans that were helping them. WUI DONG (angry): But you stupid dogs should've recovered the stolen items! DAWN (points): Hey, that guy's in on it too! COBBER (angry): That's right! That bloak is a traitor, he's working for Parvo! WUI DONG (furious): Arrest all of these capitalist dogs! They're the real criminals! LWO (confused): I don't understand, what's going on? ALETHIA (holding a bunch of files): Mr Lwo, look at these! We recovered them from the quarry building before it blew up! They prove that Wui Dong was working for Parvo! WUI DONG (reaches for the files): Give those to me! LWO (turns away as he reads the first file): Yes! I see..... Soldiers, arrest Wui Dong, he is an enemy of the state! WUI DONG (falls on his knees): Mercy! Mercy! LWO (smiles): There's always mercy.... at our re-education camps! Take him away! PLA soldiers grab Wui Dong and drag him away. Ming Lwo turns and bows to the Road Rovers. LWO (smiles): Road Rovers, you have indeed lived up to your reputations. We have lost the stolen merchandise, but you did find the true villian responsible for the thefts! How can we ever repay you? DAWN (smiles): How about some dinner? I'm starving! LWO (laughs): That's the least we can do for you! We'll give you all a ride to our finest restraunt! OTTO (bows): We thank you, sir! LWO (bows): Thank you, Road Rovers! The Road Rovers are taken back to Hong Kong where they are treated to a wonderful meal. The scene now switches back to Road Rover Headquarters, one hour later. All of the Road Rovers have returned from China. The Master has them all gathered in the briefing room. MASTER (smiling): Road Rovers, you are all good, good dogs! The People's Republic of China has publicly thanked all of you for your help. You managed to complete your mission without causing an international incident! DAWN (smiles): And we got a free meal to boot! MASTER (smiles): Your mission is done, you may all return to your homes now. As the other Road Rovers leave the briefing room, Otto walks over to Cobber and puts his hand on his shoulder. OTTO (sternly): I understand you put your hand on my wife's behind, didn't you? COBBER (scared): Well.......I........ OTTO (smiles): You did it to protect her, and I just wanted to thank you! COBBER (relieved): Thank you, Otto! OTTO (smiles): Cobber, you are a true friend! SAMANTHA (runs over to Otto): Excuse me darling, but we need to return home. OTTO (nods): Well, let's find Starlight and the Gila Monster! SAMANTHA (points): Starlight is waiting for us at the transdogmafier, the Gila Monster is looking around, said something about finding my sisters.... COBBER (shakes head): Blimey, does that leather-headed bloak ever give up? OTTO (laughs): Nope, that's why he's such a good ally! SAMANTHA (giggles): Maybe someday he'd actually get to date one of them! COBBER (laughs): That'd be one evening out I'd really like to see! SAMANTHA (laughs): So would I! OTTO (points): Here he comes now! GILA MONSTER (disappointed): I couldn't find Abby, Vicki or Linda anywhere! OTTO (smiles): Better luck next time, Gila! GILA MONSTER (sadly): I want to go back to Nathan's house, maybe I can still catch some pro wrestling! SAMANTHA (frowns): I'd still rather watch the frizbee dog championship! GILA MONSTER (smiles): Well, alright ma'am! I guess I had enough violent action for today! OTTO (shakes Cobber's hand): Goodbye for now, my friend! COBBER (smiles): Our paths will cross again, mate! Otto and Samantha enter the transdogmafier and become canines once more. With a loud BOOM!!!!! Starlight, Otto, Samantha and the Gila Monster are gone. ---------------------------------------------------------
