NOTICE REMAINS INTACT
NOTE: This story is set in the sixth(?) season of Bonkers! It, and the five
that follow, are closely linked, and mark the arc that will end, at least
for me, Bonkers!. This story is a sort of "Commercial Free" episode of
Bonkers designed to play off the popularity of the James Bond films.
It marks the next ludicrous peel slide sideways in a continuity similar to
that of Doctor Who: The New Adventures or Babylon 5.
TEASER
DO A JAMES-BOND ZOOM THROUGH THE GUN BARREL EFFECT, LEADING TO A
BINOCULAR'S EYE VIEW of a tiny speck crawling up a black
metal-and glass skyscraper.
(Quick James Bond Sting)
OVERLAY TITLE: December 26, 1999 DURATION: 3 SECONDS
LT. GRATING
(v.o.)
See him?
The FOCUS on the BINOCULARS changes. We now see the SPECK as BONKERS, dressed
in a window washer's outfit, scaling the side of the building.
MIRANDA
(v.o.)
Yup.
CUT TO a TOP VIEW of BONKERS climbing up the skyscraper. He looks at his
watch, an Omega Quartz. A little red light goes off on the dial.
CUT BACK to the BINOCULAR VIEW. BONKERS has stopped moving.
MIRANDA
(v.o.)
I think he's found it.
GRATING
The Bobcat better hurry.
I think he's about to
have company.
The BINOCULARS swing down to show MR. BLACKENBLOO walking into the ground
floor of the skyscraper.
(James Bond music, please)
CUT TO INT. LILITH DuPRAVE'S OFFICES - BONKERS is outside the window, using
a laserbeam off his watch to cut open the window. The GLASS silently falls
inwards, forming a sort of downward ramp. BONKERS slides down it silently,
landing on DuPRAVE'S desk. The room is surprisingly dark.
Taking a piece of chewing gum, BONKERS chews it and spits it out, gumming
up a survelliance camera.
CUT TO INT. ELEVATOR, where MR. BLACKENBLOO is checking his pistol.
CUT TO INT. DuPRAVE'S OFFICES.
BONKERS dons a pair of sunglasses, tapping them. We see things from his
persepective, a 3-D X-Ray of everything in the room.
SFX: DING
BONKERS does a take!
CUT TO MR. BLACKENBLOO, walking out of the Elevator.
CUT to BONKERS, seemingly crouched on the floor. ROTATE the shot to show
him hanging off the ceiling.
BONKERS crawls across the ceiling towards an innocent-looking portion of
wall, which in Eyeglass view is highlighted red. He gets to the wall and
lowers himself slightly.
MR. BLACKENBLOO is opening the far door. Light begins to spill into the
darkened office.
BONKERS is having no luck with a cigarette-lighter cutting torch. Finally,
he takes a Toon mallet and SMASHES the wall, pulling a COVER off of it!
BLACKEBLOO hears the noise and throws open the door! He steps in, pointing
his gun left, then right, then straight ahead.
We see his view as he looks around. He pauses at the glass leaning in from
the outside, and looks towards the wall Bonkers was at. Nothing there.
CUT TO BONKERS in the wall, using his tail to hold the COVER in
place while he copies something from a floppy disk to his watch. The job
done, he waits silently.
Suddenly, the COVER gets pulled away, and we see BLACKENBLOO'S face peering
in the hole! BONKERS lets out a scared cat noise, and BLASTS out of the hole
over BLACKENBLOO'S head!
BLACKENBLOO turns, but BONKERS has landed on the upper edge of the fallen
glass. Before he can move, BONKERS jumps on it, and waves bye-bye.
CUT TO BINOCULAR VIEW
We see BONKERS and the pane of glass falling out the side of the building.
MIRANDA
(v.o.)
Oh my gosh!
CUT TO BONKERS, who has started to SURF the air on top of the glass, using
it like a surfboard!
BLACKENBLOO is leaning out of the window, getting ready to shoot at BONKERS!
BONKERS unzips his window washer's outfit, casting it to the wind, where it
flies up and smacks BLACKENBLOO in the face, knocking him back in the
building!
BONKERS is wearing a fancy tuxedo, and he yanks at his bow tie. A parachute
pops out seconds before he SMASHES into the ground! A billion pieces of
glass fly everywhere!
(End Bond Music)
GRATING shrugs.
GRATING
So much for *covert* operations.
MIRANDA runs over to BONKERS, who is in a crater. His hand is sticking
out, and on it is his watch. GRATING comes up and grabs the watch.
CUT TO A COMPUTER DISPLAY showing a MAP OF THE MIDDLE EAST.
DENNIS
(v.o.)
That's it for sure.
Shere Khan's taken
the Eraser to the
Dead Sea, and he's
auctioning it off
to the highest bidder.
We're just lucky
DuPrave got invited.
PULL BACK to show BONKERS and MIRANDA standing beside DENNIS.
BONKERS
Then we've got to get
going to the Dead Sea!
(to the camera)
I wonder why they call it Dead?
(gulps)
RUN CREDITS - STYLIZED LIKE A BOND FLICK'S OPENING CREDITS, LOTS OF GUNS,
TOON ANVILS, BONKERS, MIRANDA and ERASERS
ACT I
FADE IN to INT. 34th PRECINCT HOLDING CELLS
DENNIS is walking past cells in which NEGADUCK, QUACKERJACK and MEGAVOLT are
being held. He pauses at an empty cell. Water is pooled around the bottom.
He turns to NEGADUCK.
DENNIS
Where's the prisoner that
was in this cell?
NEGADUCK grins slyly.
NEGADUCK
Duh... I dunno...
DENNIS scowls and walks over to the GUARD watching over the hallway.
DENNIS
We've got an escaped prisoner!
Tell everyone to comb the
building!
GUARD
What everyone? Today's most
everybody's day off!
DENNIS
Then go tell Lt. Grating!
I'll watch these guys and
make sure they don't try
anything!
