Robot Fury(Timmy version)
Characters:
The Blue Avenger/Joe E. Bassford
Robot Fury/Robert Wolf
John White
???
Torgo
Kid
Timmy Grey
Prelude:
(We have a shot of a “WANTED” poster on the table of The Blue Avenger with a phone next to it. Someone picks up the phone and dials a number.)
???:Yes, may I speak to John White?
(Ominous music)
(Titles)
(We cut to Joe E. Bassford sitting at a desk reading the paper, Timmy Grey enters and Joe E. looks up)
Bassford:Oh hey Tim, whats up?
Grey:Just got back from photographing the robbery on 45th street. I got some great photos of the Blue Avenger.
Bassford:Sweet
Grey:Hey, I have to ask Liz a question, do you know where she is?
Bassford:Special assignment, over in Forks doing some story on vampires.
Grey:Sounds like some b-movie we . Hey good job on those Blue Avenger shots
(Out of nowhere John White walks in)
White:Bah, theres only one good shot of The Blue Avenger and that’s a gun shot the head and I should fire you and Orange for this garbage
Bassford:What do you mean, sir?
White:All this story did was glorify the Blue Avenger. Everyone knows he’s a menace. Besides how do we know it wasn’t him who turned the Owner of Evil Co. into a watermelon?
Bassford:…because The Green Jacket admitted to it?
White:Bah, he’s German and everybody knows Germans are liars. Besides he’s probably covering up for the Blue Avenger.
Grey:But why would he take him out?
White:Obviously because The Blue Avenger wants all the money.
Grey:What money?
White:Everybody knows Evil Co. is a very profitable company…
Grey(interrupting):But they’re losing to Volkswagon.
White(angered):Don’t interrupt me, like I was saying, profitable company. They work together, Blue Avenger got greedy and took him out. Now if you excuse I have a very important meeting to get to. This could be the biggest meeting of my life. So do something or your fired!
(Grey and Bassford glance at each other as White exits)
End Scene 1
Scene 2
(We find White getting out of his car. He looks at a piece of paper and walks to the door, opens it, and enters the dark room)
White:Hello? Hello? Mr. Grun? You called about the ad?
(We see a silhouette behind a desk. It presses a button and a bright light turns on and nearly blinds White)
White:Woah turn that off! Turn that off!
(We cut to the silhouette behind the light, with what appears to be a microphone by his mouth)
???:Ah, Mr. White, dearest apoligies but you must not learn my real name.
White:Well, can you at least turn the light off?
???:And allow you to see me? Please Mr. White, I’m a man of mystery. If you see who I am the mystery is gone. Now do you or do you not want to take out The Blue Avenger?
White:I do, I really do.
???:Well then I present to you the man who shall do that(he turns the light to the left side revealing Robert Wolf a muscular man wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top)
White:Is that Robert Wolf, Mr. Galaxy 2008?
???:Yes it is, he is the man I’ve hired to take out The Blue Avenger,
Wolf:Wait, you said we were going for ice cream?
???:No your confuzzled!
(He gets hit in the head with a stick from behind)
White(stunned):Did you just do that to him?
???:No, that was my trusty servant. Step forward.
(From the shadows emerges Torgo)
White(noticing his knees):Who is he?
Torgo:My name is Torgo, I take care of the place while the Master is away.
White:Are you the master?
???:Not the master per se, but I am the Master of my Domain, if you catch my drift.
White(looking confused):I don’t
???:it’s a Seinfeld reference.
White:I don’t watch sitcoms.
???:I can tell
White:Well anyways can you just tell me what this plan is?
???:You see Mr. White, recently I have acquired technology that will turn Mr. Wolf into a robotic machine.
White:Proof or it doesn’t exist.
???:Alright then, Torgo take Mr. Wolf and tie him to that.
Torgo:Yes master
(Torgo does this)
???:Now Mr. White, watch as a man turns to machine.
(??? Presses the button and we hear science lab type sounds. While this is transpiring, we show White with a stunned face, that turns into an evil smile)
End Scene 1
Scene 2
(We find Mr. White re-entering his office as Orange and Bassford are playing a game)
White:What are you two doing?
Grey:Something?
White:What did I say before I leave?
Bassford:To do something
White:Smart-alec, you’re both fired! No wait, you’re hired. I need the both of you
Grey:For?
White:An assignment, theres a man or shall I say machine challenging The Blue Avenger to a fight. He calls himself, “Robot Fury”. Grey I want you to do a write-up on this and Bassford, take photos.
Grey and Bassford(at the same time):Alright….I can’t
White:You can’t? What do you mean, you can’t?
Bassford:I have a dentist appointment
White:Fine, I’ll do it. I can’t wait for Robot Fury to destroy him anyways, and I want a ringside seat. Come on Grey, lets watch the execution of a tyrant.
(They exit)
Bassford:We’ll see what Robot Fury is all about.
End Scene 2
Scene 3
(We cut to a huge area where we find a bunch of people crowded around. We see Robot Fury standing with his head down. When suddenly in front of the camera, The Blue Avenger enters)
Bassford:Alright, everybody. Have no fear the Blue Avenger is here.
White(in crowd):Boo! Boo! Boo!
Bassford:Now if you excuse I must take care of this thing.
(He walks up to Robot Fury)
Bassford:So they call Robot Fury, eh? Well they call me The Blue Avenger,(after he says “Avenger”, we show a shot of Robot Fury’s head lifting up and eyes turning red)I fight for(Robot Fury begins punching him sending him backwards)
Robot Fury:Robot Fury Robot Fury
Bassford(as this continues):Hey I didn’t finish what I was…
Robot Fury:Robot Fury Robot Fury Robot Fury
Bassford:Stop that
(He grabs Robot Fury’s hands, but Robot Fury keeps punching causing Blue Avenger’s own fists to hit him)
Bassford:I can’t overpower him, he’s too strong.
(We cut to Grey and White watching this transpire)
Grey:Jeez, John this is awful
White:How? This is great! Get in there closer with the camera
(He does)
(We cut back to The Blue Avenger and Robot Fury still “fighting”. The shots are getting harder and harder)
Bassford:Can’t go on long, fading away…
Robot Fury(punching):Robot Fury Robot Fury Robot…Fur…(he stops punching and goes back to his normal position)
Bassford:He has stopped, now to finish my speech. I fight for truth(punches him in the stomach), justice(punches him in face setting his face right up), and all that is blue(his fist gets a blue glow around it and he punches Robot Fury in the jaw sending his head up and extending the neck. He then pushes him over with one finger knocking him over. Timmy Grey appears.) Ah, little Timmy Grey. Here for an interview? Let me just say my iron stomach beat his iron fists.
Grey:Well, no, I just unplugged him
(He shows him a cord)
Bassford:A cord? Well if you unplugged him…then who plugged him in.
(Out of nowhere Torgo walks by)
Torgo:Excuse me please, I have to use the bathroom…
(He exits)
Bassford:Well I guess its irrelevant then.
(A kid enters)
Kid:Wow, Blue Avenger, you kicked his butt!
Bassford:Yes, I did
Kid:Can I have a high-five?
Bassford:Sure
(He goes for the high-five but he misses the kid’s hand and hits him in the head)
Bassford:Oops, umm…well don’t tell Mr. White about this. Hopefully the boy won’t remember this when he wakes up.
Grey:Why would he forget?
Bassford:Because I just confused him. Well anyways, I’m off for who knows who’s in trouble. Good luck on the story Mr. Grey.
(John White enters)
White:What happened? Is he dead?
Grey:Nope, the Blue Avenger won.
White:Blast it! He got away again. Stupid Robot Fury. That madman owes me money.
Grey:Which mad man?
White:Oh, um…nothing. Come on lets get back to the paper. Tomorrow’s headline, “Blue Avenger kills poor innocent Robot”
(We cut to ???’s base where we find Torgo entering and dragging Robot Fury)
???:Why is he like that?
Torgo:The plan didn’t go well, master.
???:Darn, well I got thousands up my sleeve. As long as I live, the Blue Avenger will be living in hell.
(Evil laugh)
Prolude:
Blue Avenger:Kids, today we’ve seen what happens when technology goes haywire. However, for this you should not criticize robots or any kind of machines. For they are the future of our society. If we trust the machines they will trust us and one day we will be living a Jetson paradise. However, if the prophecies from The Terminator come true then in 1997 we will have our Judgment Day and the machines will take over and thus John Connor will be our savior. If not him there is always me…The Blue Avenger. Tune in next week

???:Well then I present to you the man who shall do that(he turns the light to the left side revealing Robert Wolf a muscular man wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top)
White:Is that Robert Wolf, Mr. Galaxy 2008?
???:Yes it is, he is the man I’ve hired to take out The Blue Avenger,
Wolf:Wait, you said we were going for ice cream?
???:No your confuzzled!
(He gets hit in the head with a stick from behind)
White(stunned):Did you just do that to him?
???:No, that was my trusty servant. Step forward.
(From the shadows emerges Torgo)
White(noticing his knees):Who is he?
Torgo:My name is Torgo, I take care of the place while the Master is away.
White:Are you the master?
???:Not the master per se, but I am the Master of my Domain, if you catch my drift.
White(looking confused):I don’t
???:it’s a Seinfeld reference.
White:I don’t watch sitcoms.
???:I can tell
White:Well anyways can you just tell me what this plan is?
???:You see Mr. White, recently I have acquired technology that will turn Mr. Wolf into a robotic machine.
White:Proof or it doesn’t exist.
???:Alright then, Torgo take Mr. Wolf and tie him to that.
Torgo:Yes master
(Torgo does this)
???:Now Mr. White, watch as a man turns to machine.
(??? Presses the button and we hear science lab type sounds. While this is transpiring, we show White with a stunned face, that turns into an evil smile)
End Scene 1
Scene 2
(We find Mr. White re-entering his office as Orange and Bassford are playing a game)
White:What are you two doing?
Orange:Something?
White:What did I say before I leave?
Bassford:To do something
White:Smart-alec, you’re both fired! No wait, you’re hired. I need the both of you?
Orange:For?
White:An assignment, theres a man or shall I say machine challenging The Blue Avenger to a fight. He calls himself, “Robot Fury”. Orange I want you to do a write-up on this and Bassford, take photos.
Orange and Bassford(at the same time):Alright….I can’t
White:You can’t? What do you mean, you can’t?
Bassford:I have a dentist appointment
White:Fine, I’ll do it. I can’t wait for Robot Fury to destroy him anyways, and I want a ringside seat. Come on Orange, lets watch the execution of a tyrant.
(They exit)
Bassford:We’ll see what Robot Fury is all about.
End Scene 2
Scene 3
(We cut to a huge area where we find a bunch of people crowded around. We see Robot Fury standing with his head down. When suddenly in front of the camera, The Blue Avenger enters)
Bassford:Alright, everybody. Have no fear the Blue Avenger is here.
White(in crowd):Boo! Boo! Boo!
Bassford:Now if you excuse I must take care of this thing.
(He walks up to Robot Fury)
Bassford:So they call Robot Fury, eh? Well they call me The Blue Avenger,(after he says “Avenger”, we show a shot of Robot Fury’s head lifting up and eyes turning red)I fight for(Robot Fury begins punching him sending him backwards)
Robot Fury:Robot Fury Robot Fury
Bassford(as this continues):Hey I didn’t finish what I was…
Robot Fury:Robot Fury Robot Fury Robot Fury
Bassford:Stop that
(He grabs Robot Fury’s hands, but Robot Fury keeps punching causing Blue Avenger’s own fists to hit him)
Bassford:I can’t overpower him, he’s too strong.
(We cut to Orange and White watching this transpire)
Orange:Oh I can’t watch!
White:Why? This is great!
(She runs off)
White:Orange! Where are you going?
(We cut back to The Blue Avenger and Robot Fury still “fighting”. The shots are getting harder and harder)
Bassford:Can’t go on long, fading away…
Robot Fury(punching):Robot Fury Robot Fury Robot…Fur…(he stops punching and goes back to his normal position)
Bassford:He has stopped, now to finish my speech. I fight for truth(punches him in the stomach), justice(punches him in face setting his face right up), and all that is blue(his fist gets a blue glow around it and he punches Robot Fury in the jaw sending his head up and extending the neck. He then pushes him over with one finger knocking him over. Liz Orange appears.) Ah, Ms. Orange, here to praise my greatness for once again I have overcome the odds to defeat another monster. This time I believe my iron stomach did the trick.
Orange:Well, no, I just unplugged him
(She shows him a cord)
Bassford:A cord? Well if you unplugged him…then who plugged him in.
(Out of nowhere Torgo walks by)
Torgo:Excuse me please, I have to use the bathroom…
(He exits)
Bassford:Well I guess its irrelevant then.
(A kid enters)
Kid:Wow, Blue Avenger, you kicked his butt!
Bassford:Yes, I did
Kid:Can I have a high-five?
Bassford:Sure
(He goes for the high-five but he misses the kid’s hand and hits him in the head)
Bassford:Oops, umm…well don’t tell Mr. White about this. Hopefully the boy won’t remember this when he wakes up.
Orange:Why would he forget?
Bassford:Because I just confused him. Well anyways, I will see you again Ms. Orange, for now I am off for there may be another civilian in trouble. Goodbye Ms. Orange(he runs off-camera)
(John White enters)
White:What happened? Is he dead?
Orange:Nope, the Blue Avenger won.
White:Blast it! He got away again. Stupid Robot Fury. That madman owes me money.
Orange:Which mad man?
White:Oh, um…nothing. Come on lets get back to the paper. Tomorrow’s headline, “Blue Avenger kills poor innocent Robot”
(We cut to ???’s base where we find Torgo entering and dragging Robot Fury)
???:Why is he like that?
Torgo:The plan didn’t go well, master.
???:Darn, well I got thousands up my sleeve. As long as I live, the Blue Avenger will be living in hell.
(Evil laugh)
Prolude:
Blue Avenger:Kids, today we’ve seen what happens when technology goes haywire. However, for this you should not criticize robots or any kind of machines. For they are the future of our society. If we trust the machines they will trust us and one day we will be living a Jetson paradise. However, if the prophecies from The Terminator come true then in 1997 we will have our Judgment Day and the machines will take over and thus John Connor will be our savior. If not him there is always me…The Blue Avenger. Tune in next week

History of Film:The 2000's
The 2000’s have brought about a decade of change in the world of film. A change it had never experienced before. So much that a film from the ’90’s may seem to be from the stone age compared to today‘s modern films. One such change is the techniques used in film. While old techniques remained in tact, most films are done differently. Digital film making has become used by mainly all Hollywood studios as analog has completely faded away. The result is newer technology.
One such technology is High Definition, which was first used in the 2000 film, Space Cowboys. It involves a more realistic picture designed to enhance the film itself. The use of digital film making has also led to the change of appearance of people in film. The 2000 film, Oh Brother, Where Art Thou used a technique to change the color appearance within the film. Animation, itself has even changed.
In 2001, Final Fantasy:The Spirit Within became the first computer generated film. Most animated films nowadays are done on computer resulting in hand-drawn films coming to a near extinction. Films such as Shrek, Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles have been successful and has changed animation forever. Green screen animation has reached its peak of popularity. The 2004 film Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow became the first completely computer generated film by green screen.
The way people watched films has also changed. DVD sales have become the focal point financially for studios. The popularity of DVDs have led to Blu Ray discs that contain plenty of space for special features and a better appearance to the picture quality of the films. However, some studios are seeing a loss in profit. One such reason is that rather than spending money on films, most people have gone the route of illegally downloading them from file-sharing websites. As a result, studios are beginning to see the prospect of the internet and have decided to sell films online via digital download.
Studios have also changed the type of films they’ve released to adjust to what viewers want. In this decade Horror has experienced a revival. After a dead period in the ‘90’s, Horror has returned to a mainstream genre with remakes or sequels of older horror series(Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre). In the process of the remakes/sequels, there have been original films that have found success and in the process have created their own series and out grossed the older generation(Saw).
Another genre with a revival has been the musical genre. After decades without much success, musicals have become a highly popular among critics and audiences alike. Some of these films include Chicago, winner of Best Picture of 2002, Moulin Rouge, and High School Musical. Documentaries have also come back to prominence as Fahrenheit 9/11 and Super Size Me have been successful and at times controversial. However, with a revival in one genre comes the birth of another.
Super Hero movies have been around since the 1940’s. However, in this decade they have reached full significance as films like Spider-Man, X-Men, The Dark Knight, and Ironman have all been successful in the box office. As a matter of fact, The Dark Knight holds the record for highest grossing opening weekend(159 million), most profit in a day(66.4 million), most money made at a midnight showing(18.5 million). The Super Hero genre will not be going away as Spider-Man 3 was the highest grossing film of 2007 and in the Summer of 2008, The Dark Knight, Hancock, and Ironman all accounted for 1 billion dollars.
The Comedy genre has somewhat changed. In the beginning of the decade children’s computer-animated comedies such as Shrek and Finding Nemo were commercial success among both adults and children. R-rated comedies such as The 40 Year Old Virgin, Clerks 2, and Pineapple Express has also experienced fanfare from teenagers and adults alike. One such genre despised by many film enthusiasts that has been popular also is the parody genre. In 2000, Scary Movie, a parody of Scream was released and was highly successful this led to a series of parodies that seem to come out every 4 days and each film has parodied a different genre. However, they have been subject to criticism due to repetitive plots and jokes.
Epic novels have also found popularity. J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings novels have been adopted into 3 highly successful films. The final one(Return of the King) is the highest grossing film of the decade and won Best Picture at the 2003 Academy Awards. J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books have also been popular film adaptations and is the highest grossing series in film.
In the field of directing, Peter Jackson(Lord of the Rings and King Kong), Christopher Nolan(The Dark Knight), and Darren Aronofsky(Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler) have experienced a major rise due to their directoral styles and appear to be there for a long time. The new dramatic actor’s who have experienced success include Christian Bale(American Psycho and The Dark Knight) and Russell Crowe(Gladiator and Cinderella Man) while Seth Rogan and Will Ferrell have appeared to taken the “Kings of Comedy” title. Despite an ever-changing decade in film, some people have managed to keep going. Clint Eastwood, who has been acting since the 1950’s continues to have success in his 6th decade of film in both acting and directing. His recent film Gran Torino has earned him praise as a director and is considered by many to be the Best Actor in the World by many after 54 years in film. Mickey Rourke, an actor who many felt career was dead has returned to the spotlight with films like Sin City and The Wrestler and hopes to keep his comeback going. With the 2000’s coming to an end, we continue to see innovative and new technology everyday and one must wonder, what will the 2010’s bring.

The Blue Avenger in:Attack of The Green Jacket
Characters:
The Blue Avenger/Ace Reporter Joe E. Bassford-A mild-mannered news reporter by day and a super hero any other time.
The Green Jacket/Jakob Reiss-An evil German scientist determined to turn everyone into a watermelon so he can feast on their brain matter(tastily) in an attempt to gain the knowledge of the world and create an Army of his own Supermen using said-people’s knowledge to take over the world.
Liz Orange-main reporter for Daily Propaganda Paper
John White-Head of DPP
The Boss-Jakob’s boss
Prelude:
(Reiss enters from the left and sits down at a desk)
Reiss:What have you called me in for, sir?
Boss:Well Mr. Reiss, lately I’ve been questioning what exactly you’re doing during your work hours.
Reiss:Elaborate
Boss:Well, I’ve gotten reports that you’ve not been doing much research for the company but rather for yourself.
Reiss:Whats the problem with that?
Boss:Many
Reiss:Well boss, I assure you that my business is exclusively company.
Boss:Reiss, I’m sorry, but the amount of complaints is too much. Mr. Reiss, you’re fired.
Reiss:What exactly for?
Boss:Violating dress code. All scientists wear white lab coats, not a Green Jacket.
Reiss:Ah, well you’re fired.
Boss;Now how is that possible?
Reiss:Because I’m firing this at you!
(He presses a button on his jacket that unleashes a laser. We see the new boss now as a watermelon on the chair)
Reiss(evil laugh)
Scene 1
(We are at a news station where we see Ace Reporter Joe E. Bassford at the water jug filling a cup. He gets up from there and turns to see Liz Orange, another reporter. He is slightly nervous and accidently spills his cup on himself.)
Orange:Oh sorry, are your alright?
Bassford(nervous and adjusting various things):Yes, yes I’m ok, just a little tired.
Orange:I can see, what were you doing last night.
Bassford:Oh nothing, just doing some work. Why, um…what were you doing?
Orange:Just covering that Blue Avenger guy. He saved that poor kitty from the fire.
Bassford(smiling a bit):Yes yes, he’s a great, fantastic fellow he is.
(Enter John White)
White:Well I think he’s a menace!
Orange:Oh, Mr. White, why must you say that?
White:it’s a fact, the Blue Avenger is a menace to society. Besides, he’s out to get me.
Orange:What makes you say that?
White:He saved a cat, and as everybody knows I’m allergic to them.
Orange:Oh, Mr. White, you’re so out of touch with people
White:I know a vigilante when I see one, and the Blue Avenger is one. Anyone who wears a mask is a menace because they’re hiding their true self in an effort to confuse people.
Bassford:Mr. White, I…
White:I what? I, robot? I, myself? Me, myself, and I? Come on spit it out.
Bassford(scared):I agree sir
White:Good, now Orange, I want you to cover this story.
Orange:Which story?
White:The one on that CEO of Evil Co. vanished.
Orange:Alright.
White:Bassford, go with her and take photos.
Bassford:Um…okay sir
White:Well what are you waiting on? Go!
(Bassford and Orange exit)
End Scene 1
Scene 2
(We find Bassford and Orange at the office where the incident took place.)
Orange:Oh jeez, what a mess
Bassford:Looks like he might have had some melon before he departed(shot of a watermelon on a chair partially eaten.)
Reiss(from literally nowhere with an eye patch on):More like, he departed into a watermelon and to my stomach!
(Evil laugh)
Orange:Who are you?
Reiss:They call me, The Green Jacket. You must be Liz Orange, I’ve read your stories, they bore me. So now I’m going to eat you.
Orange:What do you mean?
Reiss:Watch this!
(He hit’s the button, Bassford and Orange move out of the way and it hit’s the chair turning it into a watermelon.)
Reiss:Want to turn your melon into a melon?
(Evil laugh)
Bassford:Come on, Liz, lets get out of here.
(They take off and run with Reiss following them)
Reiss:Don’t be afraid, I know it ain’t easy being green
(Evil laugh)
Bassford:I’m going to get help
Orange:What?
Bassford:See ya!
Orange:Joe!
(He runs away and behind something. He re-emerges in a blue hockey mask, cape, shirt, and tights. He proceeds to run towards them. We cut to Reiss continuing to chase after her. He fires at her but misses. She trips and falls.)
Reiss:Ms. Orange, I feel you’re about to become green with envy.
(As he aims to fire at her, he is hit in the back of the head by a pillow knocking him over.)
Reiss:Who did that?
(He gets up and sees The Blue Avenger behind him)
Reiss:Who the devil are you?
Bassford:I am the Blue Avenger, I fight for truth, justice, and all that is blue.
Reiss:Pleased to meet you, I’m the Green Jacket. Blue you say? I plan on making you turn green.
(He fires at The Blue Avenger, who turns around allowing the cape to deflect it. While this is transpiring we see Liz taking pictures. Soon the Green Jacket runs out of ammo. The Blue Avenger turns around and throws a wave at him soaking his jacket.)
Reiss:My jacket. You have ruined it! I shall now fight like in old country.
Bassford:Old country?
Reiss:Yes.
Bassford:Which old country?
Reiss:Germany
Bassford:Your German?
Reiss:Yes, can’t you tell by my accent and name.
Bassford:The Green Jacket is german?
Reiss:That’s not my name.
Bassford:You said it was “The Green Jacket”.
Reiss:No my REAL name!
Bassford:Which is?
Reiss:Jakob Reiss, brilliant scientist from Germany! Oh crap you weren’t supposed to know that.
Bassford:Which part of Germany?
Reiss:Berlin
Bassford:East or West?
Reiss:East, of course, after all, I am a communist.
(Evil Laugh)
Bassford:You fiend!
Reiss:It is part of my communist agenda to turn people into watermelons. Then I eat them and use the knowledge to create my own race of Supermen that will take over the world. Crap I did it again…
Bassford:Not if I can do anything about it!
Reiss:Lets fight!
(They proceed to fight. Eventually the Blue Avenger is victorious. Liz runs over to him.)
Liz:My hero!
(She goes over and hugs him or whatever)
Liz:What ever could I do to repay you?
Bassford:I have a lot in mind(thumbs up to the camera), but if anything its that you give photography credit to Joe E. Bassford.
Liz:But he didn’t do anything?
Bassford:Yes, but his job depends on it.
Liz:Fine, where shall we meet again, blue one?
Bassford:Whenever theres a cry for help I’ll be there. Whenever blue is turned to any other, I’ll be there, and whenever theres a lie, I’ll be there to tell the truth. I am off, farewell…Liz.
(He runs away behind a building. A few seconds later Bassford re-appears as himself.)
Liz(angered):Where did you go?
Bassford:Um…um…bathroom?
Liz:You left me with that freak.
Bassford:Yes, but I also called in the Blue Avenger.
Liz:I guess that makes it up for it. Did you see him?
Bassford:No, why?
Liz:He just past you. Did you see the fight?
Bassford:Yes, it was a great victory…for him.
Liz:Come on lets get back to the paper, we got a great story.
Bassford:Yes we do…
The End
Prolude:
(We see the Blue Avenger against an American flag background)
Blue Avenger:Kids, today we’ve seen what happens when science goes wrong. However, for this you should not criticize watermelons, scientists, germans, communists, and green jackets, for they were misguided in this episode and that comes from you parents. Every day juvenile delinquency rises in America and it starts with the adults. My message to the parents is to love your children, give them guidance, and when they turn 18 send them off to the Military for your sons and find a proper suitor for your daughters. For the future of our American republic depends on it. Also kids, watermelons are good to eat but people aren’t.

Bassford:East or West?
Reiss:East, of course, after all, I am a communist.
(Evil Laugh)
Bassford:You fiend!
Reiss:It is part of my communist agenda to turn people into watermelons. Then I eat them and use the knowledge to create my own race of Supermen that will take over the world. Crap I did it again…
Bassford:Not if I can do anything about it!
Reiss:Lets fight!
(They proceed to fight. Eventually the Blue Avenger is victorious. Liz runs over to him.)
Liz:My hero!
(She goes over and hugs him or whatever)
Liz:What ever could I do to repay you?
Bassford:I have a lot in mind(thumbs up to the camera), but if anything its that you give photography credit to Joe E. Bassford.
Liz:But he didn’t do anything?
Bassford:Yes, but his job depends on it.
Liz:Fine, where shall we meet again, blue one?
Bassford:Whenever theres a cry for help I’ll be there. Whenever blue is turned to any other, I’ll be there, and whenever theres a lie, I’ll be there to tell the truth. I am off, farewell…Liz.
(He runs away behind a building. A few seconds later Bassford re-appears as himself.)
Liz(angered):Where did you go?
Bassford:Um…um…bathroom?
Liz:You left me with that freak.
Bassford:Yes, but I also called in the Blue Avenger.
Liz:I guess that makes it up for it. Did you see him?
Bassford:No, why?
Liz:He just past you. Did you see the fight?
Bassford:Yes, it was a great victory…for him.
Liz:Come on lets get back to the paper, we got a great story.
Bassford:Yes we do…
The End
Prolude:
(We see the Blue Avenger against an American flag background)
Blue Avenger:Kids, today we’ve seen what happens when science goes wrong. However, for this you should not criticize watermelons, scientists, germans, communists, and green jackets, for they were misguided in this episode and that comes from you parents. Every day juvenile delinquency rises in America and it starts with the adults. My message to the parents is to love your children, give them guidance, and when they turn 18 send them off to the Military for your sons and find a proper suitor for your daughters. For the future of our American republic depends on it. Also kids, watermelons are good to eat but people aren’t.
