Episode 12 Enter the MADKAT
And now, in the heart of the city Megakat, comedian David Litterbin.
Noooo! Stop it! Thank you, Fuzzy. Nice jacket.
If it got any louder I'd go deaf!
I can't stand it!
I should've been the King of Late Night! [grunts]
Oh gimme a break, Ringtail. I know you wanted Litterbin's job,
but there's just one difference between you two.
He's wild and crazy, and you're just crazy. [laughs]
Crazy?! I was a number one comedian! I cracked everyone up!
Oh yeah, 'till you cracked up. [laughs] Now pipe down!
Stupid kat trick number one!
Now are you happy, Ringtail? TV's off!
Ringtail? [gasps] It can't be!
Heeeere's Ringtail!
Well it's about time! I'm gettin' liver spots out here!
I'm gonna complain to the Megakat Auto Club!
You shoulda been here an hour ago!
Uh, we got here as soon as we could ma'am.
Sounds like your battery's dead. No problem, we'll charge it right up for ya.
Supercharge it right up! Chance.
Now try it, ma'am.
Whoa! she didn't even thank us! Yeah, she's probably home by now.
Which is where we should be. I'm gonna miss Litterbin!
Eh don't worry, Jake. I know a shortcut. Aw, Cha-a-a-ance!
Be on the lookout for Lenny Ringtail,
escaped lunatic. Ringtail is extremely dangerous. Approach with caution.
Hey, I thought I saw somethin'! Back it up!
Eh, nothin', keep goin'.
[chuckles] Look at all this junk. Hey, this kat-in-the-box kinda looks like me.
Hey! Hey, how'd you get in here? We're closed!
The door was open! What's this? Antique, but not for sale!
Plenty of other curios to choose from!
But not ones with my face! Tell me more about it.
[scoffs] Belonged to ancient jester named Madkat.
He went crazy when other jester took his place.
I can relate to that. [chuckles]
Madkat was locked in a dungeon,
but he vowed revenge against the jester who took his place.
And the king, queen, and knight who imprisoned him.
Oooh! I've just got to have this thing! Hey! I told you! It's not for sale!
Hey, are you crazy?! Something like that! [cackles]
You're alive! I MUST be crazy! Oh you certainly are! And so was I.
I guess madness just brings out the best in us! [chuckles]
Come join me, Ringtail, and Madkat will live again!
For revenge against ALL our enemies!
Time to take center stage! [laughs]
BROADCASTING COMPANY MEGAKAT
Now here's one of the stupidest letters I've recieved in quite some time.
"Dear David, fess up. Aren't you one of the SWAT Kats?"
Please. I hate flying! I'm so scared if heights
I need a barf bag just to get into an elevator! [laughs]
Oh this guy really cracks me up! [Cough]
Hey, easy buddy. Don't cough up a hairball.
Hmm. Maybe Litterbin thinks the SWAT Kats
are a laughing matter, but I don't.
Let's have another stupid letter, Fuzzy.
Huh? So who is this character?
I don't remember YOU on our guest list.
Is this one of your surprises, Fuzzy?
Looks like you have the same tailor.
Very funny. You're the jester who took my place!
I've been waiting years for this moment! [laughs]
Did you see that? Yeah, it's not as funny as a Scaredy-Kat 'toon.
Hiya, folks! I'm Lenny Ringtail! But you can call me Madkat! [laughs]
Isn't Lenny Ringtail the crazy comedian who escaped from the loony bin tonight?
Kat's alive! Ringtail's announcing his whereabouts on TV!
He's even crazier than I thought! Fun's over, pal. Get him outta here!
But why? We're having such a ball! Right folks?
I want choppers at Megakat Broadcasting Company on the double!
And pick me up on the way!
But where are ya going, folks? The show's just beginning!
Think Feral's gonna be able to handle that crazy kat?
No way! But the SWAT Kats can!
Remember that joke you made about being scared of heights, Litterbin?
Well, was it true? Inquiring viewers want to know! [laughs]
This is Ann Gora, Kat's Eye News.
Megakat Broadcasting's highest-paid entertainer, David Litterbin,
is being held hostage by a crazy kat!
This is Commander Feral! Let him go, Ringtail!
I prefer "Madkat," Commander, but you can call me anything,
just don't call me often! [laughs]
I'm warning you, "Madkat," put him down! Sure, Commander! Waaaay down!
Aaaaahhh!
Grappling hook deployed!
Huh?! [sighs]
Whoa!
Well excuse me! Upstaged by the SWAT Kats!
Get the nets on him!
Sorry guys, it's just not in the cards!
As for you, Litterbin, you're cancelled!
Huh?! So much for the jester! Help!
So, I'll collect the king, queen, and knight,
and then my revenge will be complete! [chuckles]
Gotcha!
Aww, not again!
Aw, crud!
Yeah, somehow I don't think Feral's gonna believe it was an accident.
Oooh, you guys are in big trouble now! Why you little-!
How'd you miss him, hotshot? Very funny.
[gasps] SWAT Kats! Sorry, Miss Briggs. That crazy Madkat almost
made us crack up. But what does he want?
I dunno, Miss Briggs, but he won't wanna meet up with us again!
Yeah, 'cause next time we're gonna play hardball!
Oooh, I'm so scared! [laughs]
Even as we speak, Megakat Broadcasting executives are scrambling
to find a replacement for David Litterbin.
In the meantime, several guest hosts have been named.
Yeah, they should just show Scaredy Kat 'toons late at night.
Well that's fine for you, Chance,
but some kats have higher standards of humor, y'know.
We've gotta get Litterbin back from that lunatic Madkat!
No need for a replacement, Annie!
I can provide all the entertainment Megakat City needs!
Madkat, w-where have you taken David Litterbin?
Well, he's not on the tube, Annie, but he IS on the box!
Help!
Now I have the jester,
but my revenge won't be complete without the king, queen, and knight.
And now, I'm off to catch the king!
He's completely crazy. Megakat City has no king.
[gasps] Just a mayor!
Mayor Manx!
Ah, nothin' like a quiet round of golf!
No distractions. No phone calls. No one to tell you to fill in your divets!
Yes, Miss Briggs? Madkat is going after Mayor Manx
and I can't get through to him! We're on our way!
Where's the mayor? Where else? The golf course.
I've alerted Commander Feral, but I'd feel alot better knowing you guys were there.
Roger that, Miss Briggs.
Commander! I want to report a robbery! Inside. Ask for Lieutenant Steele.
But it's very important!
Ahh. Oh, yes! Nice shot, king!
How'bout trying it again, for higher stakes? Like your kingdom?
N-now keep your distance! Oooh, I'm so scared.
Now, shoot! Anything you say!
Bravo! But I still win. But why?!
Because my ball is bigger!
Better get in, Mayor! Fast!
So, the knight tries to save his king!
But Madkat will imprison you both! [cackles]
Looks like Feral's really on the ball today! Time to show Madkat our claws!
Bingo! Rest in pieces, Madkat!
[chuckles] Bring us around, buddy. I wanna make sure we finished the job.
I'm a tough act to get off the stage! [laughs]
Feral, I'm getting out of here! Join the jester, king!
Help me!
Crud, looks like Madkat bounced back! And now to capture the knight!
Come and get me, your crazy sicko! ... It'll be my pleasure!
Just le me get a set a' wheels! [laughs]
Huh?!
Launch Cyclotron!
Razor, you got 'im? About to clip his tail!
Aw, crud!
This should be good for a laugh!
Huh? Where'd he go?
T-Bone, I lost him! You see him?
Negative. [chuckles] I'm closer than you think!
Time to try out my Madkat Missiles!
[Laugh]
Razor! Madkat's up here! But not for long! Heads up, Madkat!
Wooo!
Good going, T-Bone! Lucky Madkat doesn't know about Ejektor seats!
Nice try, SWAT Kats, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve, too!
Mind if I cut in? [laughs]
Welcome to your new home, knight!
Now only the queen remains.
So you want some yo-yo action, too?
[laughs] I like this game!
Why don't we see if you can save the queen?
Crud! What is he talkin' about, Razor? Who's the queen?
Well if Feral was the knight, and Manx was the king,
then the queen must be...
SWAT Kats, come in! What's happening?
Madkat three, SWAT Kats nothin'.
He's got Litterbin, Manx, and Feral!
Not to mention Razor's seat.
And unless I missed my guess, you're next Miss Briggs.
Razor's right. But don't worry. We'll protect you.
I'm more concerned about the citizens of Megakat City. With Commander Feral gone-
I guess that leaves me in charge of the Enforcers, Deputy Mayor.
Well just what do you intend to do about Madkat, Lieutenant Steele?
If that crazy fool shows his face again, he'll be arrested!
Good luck! What are these two doing here...
We're Miss Briggs' bodyguards.
Sorry we're late. I, uh, had to get my seat put back in.
Lieutenant! When are you going to see that kat who got robbed?
He's been waiting all day.
Tell him to fill out a form! You're the SWAT Kats!
You can get my kat-in-the-box back! That crazy kat has set Madkat free!
Madkat? Do you know how to stop him?
Legend says jester's power is in his fool's cap.
Destroy it, and... This kat is obviously a crank!
You have any better ideas, Lieutenant?
The queen is mine! [cackles]
To the roof! Let me go!
You're going to join the king! [laughs]
You lose! You didn't save the queen!
NOOOO!!!
That wasn't funny! T-Bone! His weak spot IS his cap!
Aaaaahh!
Two down, one to ...
Huh? Where'd he go?
Razor! We gotta eject! Roger that!
[yelps] What the?!
Mmm, tasty!
Razor!
[growls] Hope ya choke on a hairball!
Ladies and gentlekats, then there was one! But I'm game!
Why don't we let a little roll of the dice decide who wins this fight?
Why don't we let a little laser decide?
Nooooo! You lose, Madkat.
Looks like the game is over, Ringtail. I'd be crazy to give this up!
What's this? We're seperated for one minute
and you've already got a new partner?
Commander! The SWAT Kats have practically destroyed headquarters!
You two are gonna pay for this!
Button it, Steele! They also saved my life. Not that you care.
And my life! And I do.
Don't you worry, Feral. I'll just raise taxes to rebuild your building,
and your jet, of course, SWAT Kats.
Kats alive! I've got a show to tape! And no guest star, unless...
My audience must think I'm crazy to have you on the show.
Hey, you'd be crazy not to!
After all, I'll soon be writing a book called "Madkat and Me!"
I can't believe it. That loony Ringtail is gonna make millions.
Yeah, he's crazy. Like a fox.
Hey! What're you doing?!
Hey what do you think? I'm watchin' Scaredy-Kat.
Now THIS is funny! [laughs]
