INT. Bone Wagon Garage NIGHT


Glottis
Hey, good idea...

Glottis
I bet I could keep it down now that it's cold!

Manny
Just let me get across first, okay?

Manny
I'd better disarm her first.

Manny
I'd better disarm her first.

Manny
Well, here goes nothing.



(Arrival in Nuevo Marrow)


Manny
Looks like Hector's taken over the whole town.

Olivia
He hasn't had much resistance. There's only one small group who oppose him, and they live out on the fringes of the city.

Manny
Places like this, you mean?

Meche
I hope they're not hurting Glottis.

Olivia
Ha! Shows what you know about this group! Their leader is a great man who--

Salvador
Manuel Calavera. We meet again. I see you have found what you were looking for. How fortunate for you to arrive now just as we, too, are about to achieve success.

Salvador
Our army has grown, and right now our top agents are in Hector's weapons lab, about to close in on the enemy in his own den. I couldn't have done it without you, Manuel.

Manny
Trap!

Manny
It was a trap!

Salvador
Stand back! There's only one thing to do.

Meche

Manny
Thank you, sir! You have saved me, but more than that, you have enabled me to continue to serve the movement.

Salvador
What did you say about a trap?

Manny
Hector uncovered our agent in his weapons lab.

Salvador
No!

Hector
You idiot, Bowlsley! Your new lab assistant is a SPY!

Hector
Haven't you ever heard of a BACKGROUND CHECK!

Manny
What?

Salvador
No time to explain. Now I'll have to take matters into my own hands...

Olivia
Take me with you. I've longed to be of service to your cause for years.


INT. L.S.A. Headquarters NIGHT


Manny
It's the part of that soldier that DIDN'T get up and hop out of here on one hand.

Manny
Better save this part from sprouting...

Manny
Hey, Eva finally got that radio working!

Manny
I wonder how that soldier's getting by without this arm?

Manny
I'll bet the agent in this photo is the poor guy that Hector just shot.

Manny
I'll bet the agent in this photo is the poor guy that Hector just shot.

Manny
I'll bet the agent in this photo is the poor guy that Hector just shot.

Manny
I take Meche to all the best places.

Manny
Okay, here's the plan:

Manny
I need a disguise so I can get close to Hector...

Manny
...and a gun so we'll have something to talk about when I get there.

Meche
If you figure out that part, I'll go find out where he is.

Eva
His casino tower is directly above these headquarters.

Meche
All right, meet me there!

Eva
Volunteers quickly for dangerous work--she could be very useful to the cause...

Eva
Volunteers quickly for dangerous work--she could be very useful to the cause...

Manny
As far as I'm concerned...

Manny
She IS the cause.

Manny
Hey, Eva finally got that radio working!

Manny
Ksssh!

Manny
Calling all cars! Calling all cars!

Salvador
Manuel! Is everything okay?

Manny
Uhm-deh...just testing the equipment, Sal.

Olivia
Salvador, maybe you should shut that thing off, so we can talk...

Manny
That would probably get me court-martialed!

Manny
I wonder if this is little Manny?

Manny
Come here, little Manny!

Manny
Ow-hey!

Manny
Must be little Meche.

Manny
Already got some.

Manny
I'll bet the agent in this photo is the poor guy that Hector just shot.

Manny
High tech surveillance equipment they have here in the Sewer.

Bowlsley
Hector, I almost have that new bouquet of tulips ready for you...

Hector
Listen to me once and for all, Bowlsley!

Hector
YOU ARE NOT A FLORIST! YOU ARE A MANUFACTURER OF WEAPONS!!!

Bowlsley
But... I...

Manny
This camera's showing nothing but flowers...

Manny
--must be another fallen agent.

Bowlsley
Hector, I almost have that new bouquet of tulips ready for you...

Hector
Listen to me once and for all, Bowlsley!

Hector
YOU ARE NOT A FLORIST! YOU ARE A MANUFACTURER OF WEAPONS!!!

Bowlsley
But... I...

Manny
It's attached pretty well.

Manny
It's attached pretty well.

Manny
Who's the plant nut?

Eva
That "nut" is Hector LeMans' personal munitions expert, Bowlsley...

Eva
A.K.A. "The Florist."

Eva
That was his job in the old world, but here he's a botanical weapons expert...

Eva
This has left him fairly...

Eva
...conflicted.

Manny
Seems like a gentle enough guy...

Manny
Why does he make sproutella for Hector instead of our side?

Eva
We've been trying to recruit him for years, but his lab is in Hector's tower...

Eva
He's untouchable!

Manny
Hmmmm...

Manny
Bet if I could get that plant-lover out of there, I could talk him into making a gun for me instead!

Manny
Bet if I could get that plant-lover out of there, I could talk him into making a gun for me instead!

Manny
It's attached pretty well.

Manny
Would you like a bone, little guy?

Manny
Ow! NOT one of mine!

Manny
Would you like a bone, little guy?

Manny
Ow! NOT one of mine!

Manny
If I show him this photo, he'll fly off without anything to deliver!

Manny
There can't be too much in here.

Manny
I'd better save it.

Manny
Okay, don't bite, this is a note.

Manny
You like notes, remember?

Manny
This pigeon's got my scary note from Hector.

Manny
No.

Manny
Already got some.

Manny
Already got some.

Manny
Memo: To All Agents, priority URGENT:

Manny
In light of the recent disappearances...

Manny
...all agents are ordered to avoid travel in unlit areas until further notice.

Manny
Nah.

Manny
Memo: To All Agents, priority URGENT:

Manny
In light of the recent disappearances...

Manny
...all agents are ordered to avoid travel in unlit areas until further notice.

Manny
It's the part of that soldier that DIDN'T get up and hop out of here on one hand.

Manny
The rest of him has gone to seed already.

Manny
The rest of him has gone to seed already.

Manny
Nothing else in there besides that agent's photo.

Manny
Nothing else in there besides that agent's photo.

Manny
Nothing else in there besides that agent's photo.


INT. Sewers near the L.S.A NIGHT


Manny
You know, if I had had a car like this when I was alive, things would have been different.

Manny
You know, if I had had a car like this when I was alive, things would have been different.

Manny
Not right now.

Manny
Not picking that up.


INT. Dark Sewers NIGHT


Manny
Helloooooo down there!

Manny
Ooh, never mind--go back to sleep, whatever you are!

Manny
Helloooooo down there!

Manny
Ooh, never mind--go back to sleep, whatever you are!

Manny
Not picking that up.

Manny
How about this one? Anyone down here?

Manny
Monsters? Again?

Manny
Can anyone hear me BESIDES the scary monster?

Manny
Dang.

Manny
Can anyone hear me BESIDES the scary monster?

Manny
Dang.

Manny
Go to sleep, sewer thing...

Manny
Close your big, cave-blind eyes...

Manny
Go to sleep, sewer thing...

Manny
Close your big, cave-blind eyes...

Manny
That's no way to treat an agent of the L.S.A!

Manny
I think that would be disrespectful.

Manny
There can't be too much in here.

Manny
I'd better save it.

Manny
I don't want to mess up my blade.


INT. Passage NIGHT


Manny
That must be Hector's Casino!

Manny
Not picking that up.


INT. Backstage NIGHT


Thunder Boy
It's not like Johnny Thunder lets just anybody in his review...

Thunder Boy
No.

Thunder Boy
I mean, being allowed to wear the Johnny Thunder makeup is an honor!

Thunder Boy
Yes!

Thunder Boy
A privilege!

Thunder Boy
YES!

Thunder Boy
So I said to her, you give me that ten-percent discount, or I'm taking my business elsewhere!

Thunder Boy
You said that?

Thunder Boy
Well...oh-yes, I was MAD, you know?

Thunder Boy
An then, here's the good part...

Manny
Mmmm... SHOWBUSINESS coffee!

Manny
Little too hot for my pockets, thank you!

Manny
Hot!

Thunder Boy
Oooh, are you here for the Thunderboy Tryouts?

Manny
No, are you kidding?

Thunder Boy
Good.

Thunder Boy
Because we just got the last two parts.

Thunder Boy
Maybe next season.

Thunder Boy
(snicker, snicker)

Thunder Boy
(snicker)

Thunder Boy
Hey, get lost, pal!

Thunder Boy
No autographs!

Manny
It's a ladder.

Thunder Boy
Of course, as soon as I save up enough money for a Double-N Ticket, I'm out of here!

Thunder Boy
What? You can't just BUY a Double-N!

Thunder Boy
Well I know somebody who knows somebody who knows-uh...

Thunder Boy
...HECTOR LEMANS.

Thunder Boy
Wow. You know EVERYBODY!

Makeup Woman
Hey, out of the dressing room! We got all the Thunder Boys we need!

Manny
It's a ladder.

Manny
This lever is attached to the fake-snow supply.

Manny
This snow maker is huge!

Manny
...but the grinder part looks hand-held.

Manny
Ah-ha!

Manny
Hmmm.

Manny
It's a hand-held grinder.

Manny
This snow maker is huge!

Manny
That's no way to treat an agent of the L.S.A!

Manny
I think he'd be happy to know his body was serving the cause like this.
