______________________________________________________
*A Large Mansion is shown on a dark stomy night, The Shot then goes 40 feet underground to the Lair of Vince Villan. 2 Very Large Men are shown standing next to a desk with a backwards chair. 2 More big men then bring Chad Doody in as Chad trys to struggle away. The Chair on the desk then spins around revealing Vince Villan Wearing a Tuxedo and Eyepatch in the chair.*

Vince: Hello Mr. Doody.

Chad: What do you want Villan? Shouldnt you be in Prison?

Vince: Ah Yes...Prison. The Place you sent me Months ago after Taking away My Ability to walk.

Chad: What?

*2 Of Vince Villan's Henchmen help Vince up as he gets out of the chair and gets into his wheel chair.*

Vince Villan: You took away my ability to walk, You Took Away My Freedom, You practicaly took away everything...Except my spirit And Heart.

Chad: You have no heart, Villan.

Vince: SILENCE....Now as i was saying...I Was able to escape from Prison with help from my Henchmen and my first Agenda after getting out was to send them after you to bring you to me.

Chad: Then?...

Vince: You took away so many things from me, So To Make things even i will take one very large thing away from you......YOUR LIFE!

*Chad Kicks both Henchmen that are Holding him in the legs, Then as they back off hurt he Uses both of his now free hands to backhand them both as they fall back unconscious. Villan's Other 2 Henchmen then run at Chad, But Chad Jumps up to the Piping and grabs On as he swings and Kicks one of them in the face causing him to fall back, Then Jumps down and starts to use Karate moves on the other causing him to fall. Vince Villan then Pulls a gun out of his pocket.*

Vince: Bravo, Mr. Doody...But I Dont need my Henchmen to do away with you. All I Need is one little friend.

*Vince Lifts up the gun as Chad gets a Look of fear on his face. Vince then smiles and shoots off the gun as a Large piece of paper that says "BANG" Comes Out.*

Vince: Jack & Jill went up a Hill to fetch a Pail of water, Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbing After.

Chad: ......Whaaaa?

*Vince Villan starts to laugh evily as Chad look confused. Chad is then shown waking up in his bed in fear and accidently knocks his pet Beagle off the bed.*

Chad: Sorry, George.

*George Looks up at Chad almost annoyed as he walks off to his dish.*

Chad: That was rather odd...My Dreams have never ended like that before.

*George who is eating at his dish lets out a huge fart as Chad Raises his eyebrow, His Face then turns to disgust.*

Chad: AWWW....GEORGE.

*Chad trys to wipe the smelly air away as George Looks at him a Minute, Then goes back to eating.






CHAD VS THE STEREOTYPICAL SUPER VILLAN



*"Secret Agent Man" By Johnny Rivers plays as An Animated Chad Dodes secret agenty things.*






*The Scene than cuts to The secret headquarters of an Underground Secret Agency Known only as Secret Agent Guys AKA S.A.G. The Chief Is shown walking down the hallway with Agent Morillo.*

Chief: Agent Morillo, Am I Wearing Pants?

Agent Morillo: Uhhh...Yes Sir.

Chief: Just Making Sure. How did the Mission in Asia Go?

Agent Morillo: Succesful. Agent Hoffman was able to recover the files And Put Alfred Namagachi behind bars without problems.

Chief: Excellent.

*Donny then walks up.*

Chief: Good Morning, Martin. Hows the Research going?

Donny: Not bad, Chief.

*Chad walks up.*

Chief: Good Morning, Doody.

Chad: Morning, Chief.

Chief: Get a good nights sleep?

Chad: Not really. You Know how i always have those dreams about fighting Vince Villan?

Chief: The Imaginary Villan?

Chad: Well Yeah...But i've had the dreams so long that it seems as if hes almost real. Anyways, Last nights dream ended rather oddly. It was kinda silly actually. First He shot a gun at me and huge piece of paper that said 'BANG" On it popped out, Then he started giving nusery rhymes. It was weird.

Donny: Hmmm...You Know, There could be some kind of deep Pshycological problem that caused that. My Latest Invention may be able to help, Everybody step into the lab.

*Everybody walks into the lab as Donny pulls a sheet off of a machine with a big screen on top of it.*

Donny: This is my Dream Beam. It actually records your dreams as you sleep.

Chad: Really?

Donny: Yeah...Let me show you an example. I Recorded dreams of the Chief & Agent Morillo when they were napping.

Agent Morillo: What?

Chief: You did WHAT?!

Donny: Take it easy, Chief....Its nothing new. I Test all of my Research on you and Agent Morillo in your sleep!

*Chief & Agent Morillo give Donny a weird. Look as Donny turns on the machine.*

Donny: This is a Dream Agent Morillo had yesterday...

*The screen of the Dream Beam starts to static Until the picture starts to come in of sheets on a bed moving. Agent Morillo's head is then shown coming out of the sheets.*

Agent Morillo: How was it?

*Matt Damon sticks his head out.*

Matt Damon: That was AMAZING, Agent Morillo. But remember...Not a word of this to anyone! Ben Affleck thinks im still straight, Word of this gets out and he'll have his hands all over me again. Doesnt he Understand I Am A HUMAN BEING? I AM NOT A SEX OBJECT!!!

*The Picture fades as Agent Morillo Looks embarassed. Chad, Donny & The Chief All Look At Him Shocked and Confused.*

Agent Morillo: Oh as IF You didnt know...

*The Looks of Shock & Confusion on their faces turn to Normal.*

Chad: Yeah, Pretty Much.

Chief: This actually explains alot.

Donny: And Now, The Chief's dream.

Chief: I Really dont think thats neccesary...

Agent Morillo: I Do

*The Chief Looks at Agent Morillo angrily as The screen starts to make out a picture. The Chief is shown Skipping through a meadow picking flowers with a huge smile on his face on a Bright and sunny day. The Sun Is shown smiling as it looks down at the Chief,*

Sun: Morning, Chief. Isnt it a beautiful Day?

Chief: Sure Is, Mr. Sun. I Dont think ANYTHING Could go wrong on such a great day!

*Just then the Sun disapears as it turns to night and crickets are heard.*

Chief: Mr. Sun?.....MR. SUN?!

*The Chief gets down on his knees and Yells up to the sky.*

Chief: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

*The Picture ends as everyone Looks at the Chief weird.*

Chief: I Dont like The Night...Ok?

Donny: Anyways, Chad. Why dont you lay down on this table.*

*Chad Lays on the table as Donny sprays him with sleeping spray.*

Donny: He'll be out awhile. Now we can record his dream and see if we can find the problem.

*Donny attaches a Plug to Chad's head next to the machine and turns it on. The Screen then comes on again as Chad is shown dressed in a Tux and sneaking down a hallway. He then sees 2 Big men walking by and hides behind a wall....He then Takes out a Tranquelizer gun and shoots the guards causing them to fall. Chad then starts to run off down the hallway. Inside of a Laboratory The Chief is shown tied up to a Table as Vince Villan smiles and sits in his wheelchair.*

Vince: A Few more moments, Chief...And I Will install A Chip Into your brain allowing me to control your mind and take over S.A.G.S. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*Chad walks In.*

Chad: Not today, Villan.

Vince: Ah, Mr. Doody....We may as well install the chip in your brain as well. GET HIM!

*Villan's Henchman runs at Chad as Chad Karate kicks him in the stomach. The Henchman, However...Is not affected and laughs it off until Chad Uses his other foot to kick him In the balls causing the Henchman to fall in Pain.*

Chad: Its all over for you, Villan.

Vince: Dang It Doody...Of All the agents sent to stop me its always you. It just HAD To be you...

*Spotlights come down as Music Plays and Chad Looks confused. Vince then stands up from his wheel chair and starts to dance as a Cane and hat is tossed to him.*

Vince: *Singing* It had to be you!...It had to be you! I Wandered around...And finally found, The Somebody who....Could make me be true, Could make meeee be blue...Or even be glad, Just to be saad...Thinking of you!

*The Chief gets up off the tables.*

Chief: *Singing* Some Others i've seen...Might never be mean. Might never be crossed, or try to be Boss...But they wouldnt do!

Chief & Vince Villan: *Singing* FOR NOBODY ELSE...GAVE ME A THRILL. WITH ALL YOUR FAULTS, I LOVE YA STILL! IT HAD TO BE YOU...WONDERFUL YOU. IT HAD TO BE YOUUU!

*Chad Raises his eyebrow as the Music continues. The Chief & Vince Villan then start to Ballroom dance as the Lights go Discoish, Vince then Puts a flower in the Chief's Mouth as The Chief stands back.*

Vince: *Singing* SOOOOOME OTHERS I'VE SEEEEEN...MIGHT NEVER BE MEAAAN. MIGHT NEVER BE CROSSED, TRY TO BE BOSS...THEY WOULDNT DO!

Chief: *Singing* FOR NOBODY ELSE GAVE ME A THRILL..WITH ALL YOUR FAULTS, I LOVE YA STILL!

Vince & Chief: *Singing* BABY, IT HAD TO BE YOU...WONDERFUL YOU....HAD TO BE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

*The Song ends as Chad stands Looking confused as ever. Donny, The Chief & Agent Morillo are all shown in the lab after watching this.*

Donny: Man, He said it was weird....But that was just.....HORRENDOUS.

Chief: Well he was a bit off key, But i personally think i did a pretty good job.

*Donny & Agent Morillo Look at the Chief weird.*

Chief: What?

*Just then the power goes off.*

Donny: WHAT HAPPENED?!

Agent Morillo: Some kind of power outage.

Donny: NO!

Chief: Whats the matter?

Donny: With Chad hooked up to this Machine, I Wont be able to bring him back to consciousness until the power comes back On.

Chief: WHAT?!

*Donny trys to mess with the machine when suddenly the power comes back on causing a Circuit Overload and the machine starts to spark. Donny, Morillo & Chief stand back as the machine gives off a small explosion and Chad wakes up.*

Chad: WHAT HAPPENED?

Donny: Cicuit Overload. Your Lucky to even be here...You could have been trapped in that dream forever.

Chad: Are you serious?

Donny: Yes. The Circuit Overload must have given the machine one last spark of power Which was just long enough for you to regain Consciousness.

Chief: Wow.

Donny: I Dont think the world is ready for something like this, just yet. Im going to destroy whats left of it.

Chad: What about my dream?

Donny: Well i thought it may have been something psychological....But I Couldnt spot anything in it that could possibly indicate that. Tell me, Chad...Have you been eating anything weird the past few days before bed?

Chad: I Dont think so...Oh Wait....I Have been eating some of that Chili the chief made too much of last week...

Chief: Ah Yes, My Mom's Chili recipe. Whenever i eat it i feel like i'm in Heaven for hours after.

Agent Morillo: Thats funny, Sir...Whenever i eat it i feel like i'm in the bathroom for hours after....Because i usualy am.

*The Chief gives Agent Morillo a dirty Look.*

Donny: Chad, If i were you i wouldnt eat that Chili anymore. At least not so close to bed....Its bound to have weird effects on your dreams.

Chad: Ok.

Chief: What do you say we all grab some Lunch? The Cafeteria has been serving this great new ethnic food lately.

Agent Morilo: As long as its not your Chili.

*The 4 walk out as the back of the Lab is shown, And Vince Villan wheels his wheel chair out.*

Vince: S.A.G Headquarters.....And I'm In The Middle Of It! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

*Chad, The Chief, Agent Morillo and Donny are shown walking down the hallway.*

Donny: I Must admit, That was some good food.

Chad: What was it called again?

Chief: Some Foreign Name...You're not supposed to know what its called.

Donny: I'm Gonna go Unassemble My Dream Beam And put it in the vault with all my other past inventions.

Chad: ok, See ya later Donny.

*Donny walks into the lab As the other 3 keep walking, Donny then comes running out.*

Donny: CHIEF...

Chief: What is it, Donny?

Donny: The lab is a mess...Theres been an Intruder.

*The Chief, Chad & Agent Morillo get worried Looks as they all run in and see the lab filled with destroyed machines and smoke.*

Chad: Who could have done this?

Agent Morillo: Some kind of spy, Disgruntled Ex Prisoner, Anyway really....But they have to be good to get into the premises with all of our security.

Chief: Its close to impossible for anyone to get in.

Chad: Or Out...

Chief: What?

Chad: Whoever did this may still be in the Building.

Agent Morillo: Its entirely possible.

Chief: I'll Go alert everyone in the Building.

*The Chief walks off and Agent Morillo follows.*

Donny: Years of research and hard work....Destroyed.

Chad: So they destroyed everything?

Donny: Not everything....But almost everything i was currently working on. Even the dream beam...

Chad: Yeah, But you were gonna destroy that anyway.

Donny: Yes, But i wanted to be the one to destroy it!....Its Fun.

Chad: Dont worry Donny...This Agency is filled with the worlds best Secret Agents, Including Myself. If anyone can find this fiend, Its A S.A.G Agent.

*Chad starts to walk off but trips on a part of one of the destroyed machines and falls face first.*

Chad: Yeah...Totally meant to do that.

*Donny helps Chad Up as The Chief walks back In.*

Chief: I've alerted The entire facility. If whoever did this is still in the building...Then they have no chance of escape.

*Agent Morillo Runs In.*

Agent Morillo: CHIEF....You May want to see this.

*All 4 men run out of the room. They are then shown in the Chief's Office as Vince Villan is shown on a big screen.*

Chad: HOLY CRAP.....THATS....

Donny: Vince Villan....From your dream....

Chief: I Thought he was just Imaginary.

Chad: I....Thought so too.

Vince On Screen: Good Afternoon, Gentlemen. I Assume You have already seen the little mess i left...I'm Not a very tidy person.

Donny: You're the one that trashed the lab?

Vince: Correct.

Chief: How did you escape from the building?

Vince: I Used the teleportation machine in the laboratory. I Also borrowed a few other inventions that i didnt destroy...I Hope you dont mind.

Chad: How did you even get in? I Thought you were just a figment of my imagination?

Vince: Oh No, Doody...I Am very much real. As for how i was able to get into the facility...Well......Actually, Im Not too sure.

Chief: What?

Vince: I just sort of...Ended up there. Guess its just my lucky day.

Chad: So what are you doing to do?

Vince: Well With all of this advanced technology i should have absolutely no problems taking over the world. Your Inventor is a very brilliant man.

Donny: *Smiles* Thanks.

Vince: I Will give out more details later...

Chad: Why, Later?

Vince: Because.....I Need to think of a plan first.

Chad: Ah.

Vince: Tata

*The image on the screen fades.*

Agent Morillo: This is confusing...

Chad: I'm Dreaming...Right?

Chief: If you Are...Then we're having the same dream. Somebody Pinch me.

*Agent Morillo slaps The Chief across the face.*

Chief: I SAID PINCH.

Agent Morillo: I Know, Sir.

Donny: I May have an explanation...

Chief: Whats that, Martin?

Donny: My Dream Beam was a very powerful device...The Ammount of Jiggawatts used combined with the power of a Circuit Overload could have resulted in disaster. And Opened the door between reality and the World of dreams.

Chad: So you're saying...

Donny: Vince Villan may have crossed over from your dream into our reality. Meaning hes no longer a figment of your imagination....But An Actual Human Being.

Agent Morillo: How is this possible?

Donny: I'm Not sure on all the details...But its the only explanation I Can think of.

Chief: So how can we get him back in?

Donny: Well, Thats the thing Chief....We cant.

Chief: WHAT?!

Donny: Theres no way we'd be able to generate that much power again, Even if we tryed. We're simply going to have to capture him and put him behind bars.

Agent Morillo: That wont be easy, Donny. We're dealing with a Super Villan here....The kind of Evil Genius that you dont see in real life.

Chief: Not to menton he wants to take over the world.

Chad: I Can Take him...

Chief: What? I Dont think so, Doody....This is a far larger Mission than you've ever been On. Not to mention he has a Bunch Of Donny's inventions.

Chad: Chief, I Created this guy. I Know his strengths and his weaknesses....I Honestly think i'm the only one that can stop him.

Agent Morillo: He does have a Point, Chief.

Chief: Well....Alright. But, Be careful!

Chad: Chief...I'm Always careful.

*Chad walks out the door.*

Chief: Wow...

Agent Morillo: What is it, Sir?

Chief: Thats the first time hes ever said that without tripping or hitting himself in the head or doing something else really stupid that completely makes the "I'm Always Careful" Comment Invalid.

*Loud Crashing Noises are heard.*

Chad Yelling From Other Room: AHHHHHHH

Chief: Nevermind...

*A Jail Cell is shown with 2 muscular guys inside of it. One is laying on the bed and reading a Playboy while the other Taller and More Muscular Man is lifting weights. Just then Vince Villan appears out of nowhere.*

Vince: Hello, Gentlemen.

*Both Men Look shocked and walk Up to him.*

Man: How'd you get in here?

Vince: Teleportation Machine.

Taller Man: HUH?

Vince: Nevermind that....How would you boys like to escape?

Man: That'd be nice.

Vince: My Name is Vince Villan.

Man: I'm Jake.

Taller Man: Paul.

Vince: Nice to meet you Jake & Paul. How would you feel about being my...Lackeys?

Jake: Uhhhh

Vince: It'll get you out of Jail.

Jake: Deal!

*Vince Pushes a button on a remote Looking thing as the 3 disapear. Chad's apartment is then shown as Chad walks In.*

Chad: Hey, George.

*George comes out of the bedroom and runs up to Chad.*

Chad: Hey Boy...Not here for long. I Have A Mission!

*George tilts his head to the side.*

Chad: Dont worry boy...I'll Be Ok.

*Chad goes in his closet and takes a Bunch of stuff out when the phone rings. Chad walks over and answers.*

Chad: Hello?

Vince Villan's Voice on other side: Hello, Doody.

Chad: *Shocked* What do you want, Villan?

Vince Villan: Well I Heard you were on the Mission to step me.

Chad: Where did you get this information?

Vince: Doody....You're ALWAYS The one they send to stop me.

Chad: Oh....Right. About that, Villan...I Gotta tell ya...

Vince: Yes?

Chad: ...You're not real, Dude.

Vince: *Laughs* I Dont have time for your mindgames now. Just come to the abandoned warehouse downtown...And come alone.

Chad: How do i know this isnt a set up?

Vince: Its Not. Just get over here so we can settle this long fued once and for all.

Chad: Fine.

*Chad hangs up the phone.*

Chad: Its time to Rocket...

*Some Dramatic Action Music plays as Chad Goes outside and Opens his Section of The Apartment Garage Exposing the Scoover.*

Chad: Scoover....Cant Leave home without it.

*Chad Gets on the scoover and Hovers off. Vince Villan is shown sitting at a desk in the warehouse as Jake & Paul fiddle with the Inventions. Paul accidently hits a Button on one as a beam hits him and he Looks confused.*

Paul: Who Am I?

Vince: Oh for the Love of...

*Vince wheels his wheel chair over And Grabs the machine, Then hits a different button and Points it at Paul.*

Paul: I Rememebr now.

Vince: That was the Amnesia Ray, You Moron. I Thought i told you imbacels to stay away from the Inventions!

Jake: Sorry.

*Just then Chad is shown walking In.*

Chad: Hello, Villan.

Vince: Ah, Doody....We Meet again.

Chad: Yeah whatever...Lets just get this over with.

Vince: Well there is one little catch. You see...I Cant walk! It Wouldnt be a fair fight. So I Got myself a couple of Henchmen.

Chad: Henchmen dont scare me, Villan.

*Chad Leaps up to the Piping and trys to Kick the Henchmen like in his dream but falls flat on his back As Vince Does an "Ouch" Signal with his Face.*

Vince: Thats not like you to mess up, Doody.

Chad: *Laying* Maybe because in dreams im actually....good.

Vince: There you go talking weird again...

Chad: Listen Villan, You're only a figment of my imgatination that somehow got into the real world. You're not real!

Vince: *Laughs* Nice Try, Doody....I Knew you would be using excuses the day i finally beat you.

*Chad stands up slowly as Vince Points the Amnesia Ray at Chad.*

Vince: This wont hurt a bit, And if it does....You Wont remember!

*Vince hits the Button as a beam comes out and hits Chad.*

Chad: Where am i?.....WHO Am I? Whats going On?

*Vince Smiles as the Henchmen laugh. Vince then grabs another machine and Points it at Chad as Chad disapears.*

Jake: Woah Boss, Whatd you do to Him?

Vince: Teleported him to a random locaton. He may not be able to remember anything....But the farther away he is, The Better.

*S.A.G Headquarters is shown as The Chief Agent Morillo, And Donny are shown in Chief's Office.*

Agent Morillo: Its Hopeless, Chief. With Agent Doody gone, We have no chance of stopping this man. Doody was the only one that knew Villan inside out.

Chief: Have you put out an International search party on Doody?

Agent Morillo: Yes, Chief...Buts its been 3 days. We have no idea where he is and he has no idea WHO He is. It May be a long time before we're able to find him, And even then he wont recognize us.

Donny: I Could start to work on another Amnesia Ray. I Still have the Blueprints.

Chief: You Get started on that, Donny.

*Donny Nods and walks Out.*

Chief: Poor Doody....Probably out there scared without a friend in the world. He doesnt even know his own identity....Can you imagine how miserable he must be right now?

*"Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" By BJ Thomas Plays as Chad is shown with a girl on a Bicycle made for two and wearing a Fedora Hat. They are then shown Smiling and walking in line to the tilt a whirl at the fair, Immediately after they are shown getting off the ride as Chad Looks dizzy and sick And the girl trys to comfort him. The girl is then shown laying on a boat in her bathing suit smiling as Chad Looks down at her smiling, Wearing a captains hat and playing guitar. They're then shown smiling and walking into a Movie theater with "Bad Deeds" On the sign, Immediately after they are shown walking out Looking upset and depressed as is everyone else. The song then ends as Chad & The girl are shown laying next to each other under a tree.*

Girl: These past 3 days have been the best 3 days of my life. Who would have thought that the PERFECT Guy would appear just....Out of nowhere.

Chad: I've had a great time too, Annie. I Just wish i could remember who i was.

Annie: Well you're underwear says Chad, We at least know that.

Chad: Remind me again....Why were you Looking at my underwear?

*Annie Blushes as Chad Laughs, Annie then starts laughing right after.*

Chad: Annie...

Annie: Yes, Chad?

Chad: You realize i'm not going to be able to stay here forever, Dont you?

Annie: But why?

Chad: I Could have a family and friends out there. A Life...

Annie: Another Girlfriend?

Chad: I.....Dont Know.

*Annie Looks sad.*

Chad: But i doubt shes as special as you.

*Annie smiles.*

Chad: Still though...I Have to go. I Need to find out who i am.

Annie: But why leave? Maybe whatever you need to find is right here in Seattle.

Chad: I Dont think so, Annie. I Dont know exactly where i lived before....But i have a gut feeling thats telling me what direction to go In. And you should always go with a gut feeling.

Annie: Are you sure?

Chad: I Thought it may have been gas....But After the Gas passed i still had the gut feeling. So Yeah...

*Back in Villan's Warehouse Paul & Jake are shown playing Nintendo.*

Paul: Stupid Video Game....How a i supposed to know where the stupid key is?

*Vince Villan wheels his wheel chair in.*

Vince: I GOT IT!

Jake: You got the key?

Vince: Nooo You Blithering Idiot, I Have A Plan to take over the world!

*Jake & Paul Look interested for a second, Then continue playing Video games.*

Vince: That very Amnesia ray i used on Doody....If i were to somehow work on it and Double...No TRIPLE The power....I Could erase the entire world's memory. And who will those poor confused souls have to Guide them?...

Jake: Santa?

Vince: *Looks Confused* No You Idiot...Me!

Jake & Paul: OHHHHH

Vince: The world will be Mine. HAHAHAHA!

*S.A.G Headquarters is shown As The Chief and Agent Morillo are shown in The Chief's Office*

Agent Morillo: Sir, We have reason to believe Vince Villan may have already came up with a Plan to take over the world.

Chief: Then we need to act fast.

Agent Morillo: But who can we send, Sir?

Chief: Well with Doody out of the picture i have one person in mind. A Former S.A.G Agent of the 1960s....And definitely one of our best. Hes retired now, But i'm sure with a little convincing...He would accept this Mission in an Instant.

Agent Morillo: Who, Sir?

Chief: Morillo...Set up...THE WEST SIGNAL!

Agent Morillo: West Signal, Sir?

Chief: Yes...Its 7 doors down to the right.

Agent Morillo: The room you Always forbid anyone to enter?

Chief: Yes.

Agent Morillo: I'm On It.

*Agent Morillo walks out. The Background music of the 60's Batman TV Series plays as The Bat Mobile is shown arriving. 2 Feet then step out and start to walk without seeing who it is. The Chief & Agent Morillo are standing at the door as the man comes closer, Agent Morillo gets a shocked Look on his face as the feet are shown again, Then the camera starts to go up the body until you cans ee his face and is revealed as Adam West!*

Agent Morillo: Adam West?!

Chief: Yes.

Agent Morillo: I Thought he was an actor?

Chief: Actua...

Adam West: Thats ok Chief, Let me handle this. You see Agent Armadillo...

Agent Morillo: Thats Agent, Morillo.

Adam West: Uhh excuse me son, You dont tug on Superman's cape...And you definitel dont correct Batman!

Agent Morillo: Sorry, Sir.

Adam West: As i was saying. In the 60s when i landed the role of Batman, The Chief here was so impressed by my fighting skills that he recruited me as an Agent For S.A.G.

Chief: I Was quite disapointed when i found out the "BOOM" And "BAM" Bubbles were fake...But he made an excellent Agent None the less. And he makes an excellent strudel.

Agent Morillo: But wouldnt that erase your memory too?

Chad: I Dont think so, Villan....You Just foiled your own plan.

Vince: You Know, Doody...I Have a feeling you planned to miss that Karate Kick because you knew this would happen and i would completely embarass myself.

Chad: Uhhh...Yeah, Lets go with that.

Vince: I Must admit, Doody....You're Good.

*Vince takes his eyepatch off.*

Vince: My patch is off to you.

Chad: Dont you need that?
