P.A.: WELCOME TO THE BANK OF ACMETROPOLIS,
WHERE YOUR DEPOSITS ARE ALWAYS SAFE.
GO AHEAD, SON. GIVE IT TO HIM.
THIS IS MY FIRST DEPOSIT.
WELL, ISN'T THAT EXCITING?
Man: LISTEN UP, PEOPLE!
[PEOPLE YELLING]
[BOTH GASP]
I AM MASSIVE.
THIS IS A ROBBERY,
SO I'D APPRECIATE YOUR FULL COOPERATION.
HANDS UP.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I CALL COOPERATING.
NOW HALF OF YOU REACH FOR THE SKY...
WHAAH! WHAAH!
YUHH! WHUHH!
AND THE OTHER HALF HIT THE FLOOR.
[GROANING]
UHH. HUH?
MAMA!
UGH.
AS YOU CAN TELL, I'M INTO GRAVITY.
HEH HEH. WELL, THAT AND MONEY.
AH. 5-FOOT-THICK STEELTANIUM BOLTS.
HEH. HASN'T ANYONE EVER HEARD OF THE WORD "CHALLENGE"?
HMM. A 100 MILLION IN QUASARLINIUM,
AND NOW IT'S MINE.
HEY! THAT'S MINE!
AW, I'M SORRY,
BUT EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.
[BEEPING]
WHAAH! WHAAH!
HYAH!
UNH! UHH!
OH, AND HAVE A NICE DAY.
HA HA HA!
IN THE YEAR 2772,
A METEOR STRIKES THE CITY PLANET OF ACMETROPOLIS,
KNOCKING IT OFF ITS AXIS.
THIS COSMIC EVENT RELEASES SUPERNATURAL FORCES,
UNLEASHING A NEW KIND OF HERO--
THE LOONATICS.
[CHORAL SINGING]
Sportscaster: HELLO, AND WELCOME TO THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN,
THE LAST GAME OF THE BASHERBALL SEMIFINALS.
THE WINNER TODAY ADVANCES TO FACE THE ACME RANGERS
IN THE MONDO BOWL.
CHECK OUT THIS MOVE.
HUNH!
WHAAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!
HUNH. HAH.
HMM?
OF COURSE, IF I WAS A REAL BASHERBALL PLAYER,
I'D HAVE A PROFESSIONAL BASHERBALL GRAVZOOKA.
[SLAM MUTTERING]
HRR!
[LAUGHING]
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU SAID,
BUT I'M GOING TO BE INSULTED ANYWAY.
Sportscaster: MR. LEGHORN, WHO ARE YOU ROOTING FOR TODAY?
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY HOW PLEASED--
I SAY--PLEASED I AM
TO ANNOUNCE THE MONDO BOWL
IS GONNA TAKE PLACE AT THE WORLDROME.
WHAT'S--
TEAM, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
[GROANS] CAN'T IT WAIT TILL HALFTIME?
NOW, DUCK.
WHAT'S UP, BOSS?
THERE'S A THIEF AT LARGE
COMMITTING ROBBERIES ALL OVER ACMETROPOLIS.
A THIEF? ISN'T THAT BENEATH US SUPERTYPES?
NOT IF HE'S A SUPERTHIEF.
LET'S JET!
[CROWD YELLING]
I AM MASSIVE.
YOU GUYS CHILL OUT,
AND WHILE YOU'RE LYING AROUND,
I'LL JUST RELIEVE YOU OF YOUR TRINKETS. HA HA HA.
Ace: OK, DOC, STEP AWAY FROM THE EGG.
THE LOONATICS, HUH? INTERESTING.
IT APPEARS MASSIVE'S POPULARITY IS GROWING.
HOW ABOUT I GIVE YOU A CHOICE INSTEAD?
SAVE THIS ONE TRINKET,
OR SAVE YOURSELVES.
DON'T YOU KNOW THE COST OF BEING HEROES IS RISING?
NOW FOR A HERO SANDWICH.
NO WAY.
TECH.
ON IT, CHIEF.
NEED SOME CONDIMENTS?
RRR!
TRY TO STOP THIS, RABBIT, AND THIS.
I'VE FINISHED YO-YOING WITH YOU LOONATICS.
Lexi: ACE, THE GUARDS.
Massive: THE MUSEUM IS NOW CLOSED.
Ace: LOONATICS,
WE GOTTA GET THESE PEOPLE OUT OF HERE.
HUHH!
Ace: DUCK, DON'T JUST STAND THERE
WITH YOUR HANDS IN YOUR FEATHERS.
GRAB SOMETHIN'!
Pedestal: STOP, THIEF. STOP...
HEY, WHAT'S WITH THE ROAST DUCK?
I'M ONE OF THE GOOD GUYS.
UGH!
STOP, THIEF.
WELL, GUYS, LOOKS LIKE MASSIVE SKIPPED.
HOW DOES SOMEONE THAT BIG SKIP?
OH, WHO CARES?
I RISKED MY FEATHERS TO SAVE THIS, UH...
REALLY, UM...
WHAT IS THIS?
WE NEED TO PICK
WHERE THE NEXT FIGHT GOES DOWN,
GET THE HOME-COURT ADVANTAGE.
Zodavia: WE COULD SET UP A STING.
Duck: A STING. THAT SOUNDS PAINFUL.
LAY OUT A TRAP FOR HIM.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING MASSIVE WANTS THE MOST?
MONEY, LOTS OF IT.
THAT EGG WAS WORTH 150 MILLION QUASARLINIUM.
I'M A LITTLE SHORT.
GOT ANY PENNIES IN YOUR PIGGY BANK, ZODAVIA?
I HAVE A LITTLE SET ASIDE FOR A RAINY DAY.
DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA?
YEAH. WHAT IF WE MAKE A VERY PUBLIC INVESTMENT?
TODAY IS A GLORIOUS DAY FOR THE LUXURY ROCKET INDUSTRY.
PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING OUR NEWEST INVESTOR,
MR. MALLARD MEGABUCKS.
[CHEERING]
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I AM HAPPY TO INVEST
200 MILLION WORTH OF QUASARLINIUM BARS
TO BUILD MORE OF THESE CRAZY ROCKET DOOHICKEYS.
NATURALLY I'D LIKE THE NEXT MODEL
TO HAVE MY FACE ON IT, SO I'M--
DUCK, DON'T AD-LIB. GET ON AND GET OFF.
[WHISPERING] Righto.
SO IN CLOSING...
EVERYONE ELSE IN POSITION?
OH, YEAH. HERE, ACE.
THIS IS REV IN POSITION, AND, MAN, ACE,
I GOTTA TELL YOU THIS IS EXCITING!
Ace: WE GOT IT, REV.
IS OUR LITTLE SURPRISE READY TO GO?
MY SPECIALLY MADE
HANDCRAFTED GRAVITY STABILIZATION GYRO
IS ALL SET.
ANY GRAVITY AFFECTED BY MASSIVE
CAN BE INSTANTLY RESTORED TO NORMAL.
Ace: THEN WE ARE GOOD TO GO.
HEY!
2 SPARKLING WATERS.
OH, I, UH-- I'M CLOSED.
BUT, UH, YOU JUST GOT HERE.
WELL, I-- THAT IS TO SA--
HERE. HAVE A STRAW ON THE HOUSE.
WELL, WELL, WELL. WHAT HAVE WE HERE?
MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF QUASARLINIUM
AND MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF ME.
[CROWD PANICKING]
THAT'S RIGHT. RUN.
RUN BEFORE YOU MAKE ME THROW MY WEIGHT AROUND.
NO ONE STANDS UP TO MASSIVE.
Ace: YO, MEAN AND GREEN!
DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER EVER TELL YOU
THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY YOU HAPPINESS?
SHE DID. THAT'S WHY I'M STEALING IT.
HA HA HA HA HA HA!
MY BODY'S SO DENSE, I'M INVINCIBLE.
Ace: YAH! UHH!
YOU REALLY THINK YOUR PUNY ATTACKS
ARE GONNA DO ANY GOOD?
YOU HAVE NO CHANCE AGAINST MY POWERS.
QUICK, EVERYONE, WHILE HE'S DOWN!
HRRR!
WHAAH! WHOA!
FEELING A LITTLE LIGHTHEADED?
HUUH!
AHEM. FORGET ABOUT SOMEBODY?
NOT EXACTLY.
YARRGH!
YOU SEE, ALL THEIR WEIGHT
HAS TO GO SOMEWHERE.
[STRAINED] THANKS FOR CLARIFYING.
I THINK YOU ALL NEED A VACATION.
OH, WHERE TO SEND YOU.
OH, I DON'T KNOW. HOW ABOUT THE MOON?
YES. HA HA HA.
FAREWELL, LOONATICS.
[ALL YELLING]
ACCORDING TO THIS,
I WEIGH NEGATIVE 1,268 POUNDS.
FASCINATING.
REAL INTERESTING, TECH,
BUT CAN YOU MAKE US HEAVIER?
THAT IS, WITHOUT MAKING US LOOK BLOATED.
AND DO IT BEFORE WE RUN OUT
OF AIR TO BREATHE.
DUCK, CAN YOU POINT TECH'S GYRO UP AT US?
[STRAINING]
NO, UNLESS I CAN DO IT BY LYING HERE
AND NOT MOVING.
NNNRR! HANG ON. I HAVE AN IDEA.
OH, YEAH. THE DUCK HAS LANDED.
WHOA! STILL HEAVY! UGH!
YEEP!
HOLD ON. I'M COMIN' FOR YA.
IF I CAN STEER THIS THING.
THANKS, DUCK. WE SEE YOU.
EVERYBODY HANG ON.
SLAM, LET'S HITCH A RIDE.
HRRR!
GOT ONE SHOT AT THIS.
YEH! YAAH!
[GRUNTING]
[BEEPING]
DUCK'S WEIGHT HAS CRUSHED THE CONTROLS BEYOND REPAIR.
IT'S GONNA BE A ROUGH LANDING.
Tech: NOW TO GRAB THE GYRO
AND RESTORE US TO NORMAL GRAVITY.
THAT'S IT. COME TO PAPA.
UGH. UHH!
[SLAM GROWLING]
[CHUCKLES]
THE GYRO WORKS.
WE HAVE GRAVITY.
THAT'S MASSIVE 2 AND GOOD GUYS ZERO.
SO WE KNOW HIS POWER
IS ALL ABOUT GIVE AND TAKE--
MAKING SOMETHING LIGHTER OR HEAVIER,
THEN VICE VERSA.
MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE OUT
HOW TO USE THAT AGAINST HIM.
GOT THAT RIGHT.
IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR US TO THROW OUR WEIGHT AROUND.
HE STOLE 100 MILLION FROM THE BANK,
THE EGG WAS WORTH 150,
AND WE SET HIM UP
WITH 200 MILLION QUASARLINIUM.
OH, HE KEEPS ONE-UPPING HIMSELF,
SO WHAT'S WORTH MORE THAN THAT?
ALL THIS CHASING IS GONNA MAKE US MISS
THE BASHERBALL GAME AT THE WORLDROME,
AND I WANNA SEE WHO'S GONNA WIN
THIS YEAR'S TROPHY.
THAT TROPHY'S BEEN ALL OVER THE NEWS,
AND I BET IT'S PRETTY EXPENSIVE.
Sportscaster: YES, THE BIGGEST, MOST EXPENSIVE
TROPHY IN THE WORLD IS UP FOR GRABS TODAY,
BECAUSE THIS IS THE MONDO BOWL,
AND WE'RE LIVE AT THE WORLDROME.
TONIGHT'S GAME IS SURE TO BE A SPECTACLE.
IT'S THE ACMETROPOLIS RANGERS VERSUS THE LARACHIAN MANGLERS.
AND WITH ME NOW IS RANGER STARTING BACKER TRICK DALEY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL TONIGHT, TRICK?
I FEEL PUMPED AND READY TO PLAY,
MR. SPORTSCASTER MAN. HA HA!
GOOD LUCK, TRICK. AND REMEMBER,
THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE PLAYING FOR...
THE SOLID-GOLD, DIAMOND-STUDDED
MONDO TROPHY OF THE WORLDROME
WORTH OVER 250,000 QUASARLINIUM.
THINK YOU CAN WIN TONIGHT?
AW, MAN, WE THE BEST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE.
WE'RE GONNA MANGLE THE MANGLERS, MAN.
OH, I'M SORRY, TRICK, BUT TONIGHT'S VICTORY
IS NOT GONNA BE A TEAM EFFORT.
I'M HERE NOW WITH WORLDROME OWNER
AND BASHERBALL LEAGUE PRESIDENT, MR. LEGHORN.
WHAT DO YOU HAVE THERE, SIR?
WHEN I WATCH A BASHERBALL GAME,
I ALWAYS--I SAY-- ALWAYS KEEP A POT
OF MY OWN SPECIAL-RECIPE CHILI-GURT CLOSE BY.
IT'S THE OFFICIAL SNACK OF THE WORLDROME!
[CROWD CHEERING]
YOU READY, TECH?
YES. THESE GAUNTLETS USE THE SAME
GRAVITY STABILIZATION TECHNOLOGY AS MY GYRO
AND SHOULD NEUTRALIZE MASSIVE'S POWERS.
ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET THEM ON HIM.
Sportscaster: THE ACMETROPOLIS RANGERS
ARE ON THEIR BIKES AND ENTERING THE ARENA.
AND NOW HERE COME THE LARACHIAN MANGLERS.
THE GAME TODAY WILL SETTLE A LONG-RUNNING FEUD
BETWEEN THESE 2 TEAMS.
THE RANGERS AND THE MANGLERS HAVE TAKEN THE FIELD,
AND MR. LEGHORN IS ABOUT TO GRAVZOOKA
THE FIRST BALL INTO PLAY.
HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH.
AND THEY'RE OFF.
THESE ARE 2 FIERCE RIVALS,
AND WE CAN CLEARLY SEE WHY THEY CALL IT BASHERBALL.
WOW! AND TRICK DALEY GRAVZOOKAS THE FIRST BALL.
AND HE PASSES TO NUMBER 2, CHRIS KAYE, THE MAULER.
THE MANGLERS ARE IN HOT PURSUIT.
HE LOOKS UNSTOPPABLE.
HE SHOOTS.
HE SCORES!
[HORN BLOWS]
THE MANGLERS NOW HAVE THE BALL.
MAGMA CASSIUS LOOKS TO EVEN UP THE SCORE.
CASSIUS SHOOTS.
AND CHRIS THE MAULER INTERCEPTS
AND PASSES ON TO NUMBER 4.
THIS LOOKS LIKE THE OLD HOOK-AND-LADDER,
AS TRICK DALEY SHOOTS AND--
[CROWD GASPS]
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. IT STOPPED IN MID-AIR.
THIS IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE THING I'VE EVER SEEN!
HE'S HERE.
FOLKS, YOU'RE WITNESSING SPORTS HISTORY TODAY.
AND WHAT'S THIS?
A NEW PLAYER ON THE FIELD?
LET'S MOVE.
[CROWD BOOING]
SORRY FOR THE MASSIVE INTERRUPTION.
I'M SURE YOU ALL RECOGNIZE ME,
SO, YES, IT IS SAFE TO ASSUME THIS IS A ROBBERY.
NOW HALF OF YOU REACH FOR THE SKY...
WHUH? WHAAH!
AND THE OTHER HALF HIT THE FLOOR.
[GROANING]
OK, SIR, YOU MADE-- I SAY--YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT.
HERE. TAKE THIS AND SCRAM.
I'M NOT SOME PETTY THIEF,
MR. LEGHORN.
WHO ELSE IN ACMETROPOLIS WOULD EVER HAVE THE GUTS
TO STEAL SOMETHING ON LIVE TV?
I'M THE GREATEST THIEF
ACMETROPOLIS HAS EVER SEEN,
SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO GO HOME
WITH SOMETHING A LOT BIGGER.
THIS IS THE CRIME OF THE MILLENNIUM.
YOUR RATINGS SHOULD GO THROUGH THE ROOF.
Ace: YOU KNOW, FOR THE PRICE OF THE TICKET,
YOU'D THINK WE'D GET A BETTER HALFTIME SHOW.
Ace: TAKE HIM DOWN, SLAM!
HA HA HA HA HA!
AAH! HUH?
[CROWD CHEERS]
AAH! REV, GO!
OK, SO NOW I CAN GIVE THIS GUY A TASTE
OF HIS OWN MEDICINE.
LET'S SEE HOW YOU LIKE IT
WHEN YOU'RE BEING PUNCHED AROUND, BIG GUY.
UGH! UHH!
TIME FOR YOU TO SLOW DOWN, BIRD.
UNH! TOO HEAVY!
YAH! NNNNNNNN!
[GROWLING]
NOT THIS TIME, BIG GUY!
UH-OH.
GOT YA, SLAM.
I'LL REVERSE THIS WITH MY--
UHH! GOING DOWN.
YEHH!
TECH, ARE YOU OK?
DEFINE OK.
HEY, UH, I'M JUST GONNA BORROW THESE.
FIRE!
UHH!
Lexi: TAG! YOU'RE IT!
SCORE ONE FOR THE HOME TEAM.
[SPEAKING LARACHIAN]
OOPS. AND YOU GUYS.
WHY, YOU LITTLE...
[GASPS]
HAH!
Ace: GAME'S OVER, MASSIVE.
HA HA HA HA!
I TOLD YOU, YOU CAN'T HURT ME.
MAYBE NOT,
BUT I'M WORKING ON MAKING YOU PRETTY UNCOMFORTABLE.
DUCK, LEXI, BLAST HIM!
[GASPS] AAH!
MY TROPHY!
UGH!
OK, I'VE REALLY HAD
ABOUT ENOUGH OF--
WHAT'S THE MATTER? DON'T LIKE CHILI-GURT--
BEANS AND ALL THAT DELICIOUS...
GURT.
OF COURSE, IT MAKE YOU PACK ON THE POUNDS.
THAT'S WHY YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME--
OH, YOU WANNA BE LIGHTER?
FINE.
UH, THAT'S NOT EXACTLY WHAT--AIIII!
GOING UP.
YOU GET HIM, DUCK?
THAT WOULD BE A NO.
YAH!
COME ON DOWN AND JOIN THE PARTY.
Lexi: EWW! DUCK COOTIES!
WAIT. DON'T MOVE.
I THINK WE'RE HOLDING EACH OTHER IN PLACE.
EWW! MY FACE IS IN YOUR ARMPIT!
NOW, WHERE WAS I?
EH...
THE TROPHY!
WHEN ARE THEY GONNA LEARN?
MASSIVE ALWAYS GETS PAID.
NOW, NOW. GENTLY.
YOU KNOW YOU DIDN'T WIN THAT. HUNH!
YOU'RE THROUGH,
YOU FLEA-BITTEN RABBIT! HA HA!
THAT'S BUNNY, DOC.
HA! OH, YOU MISSED.
WELL, THEN, BUNNY'S GOING DOWN.
NO, YOU ARE, DOC.
HUH?
[GROANING]
HERE'S A LITTLE BLING-BLING FOR YOUR TRIP TO SING SING.
IF YOU THINK THESE THINGS
CAN HOLD ME, YOU'RE WRONG.
YOU CAN'T CONTROL GRAVITY.
YEAH, BUT IT'LL DO FOR NOW.
Mr. Leghorn: TERRIFIC! I SAY, TERRIFIC JOB!
I'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU A REWARD
FOR SAVING ALL THESE PEOPLE
WHO PAID GOOD MONEY TO COME INTO MY WORLDROME.
BUT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T ACCEPT
YOUR REWARD, MR. LEGHORN.
UH, BUT IF WE COULD,
WHAT KIND OF REWARD ARE WE TALKING ABOUT?
OH. WELL, UH...
HOW ABOUT A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF MY OWN RED-HOT CHILI-GURT?
TOO RICH FOR US.
BUT NOT SLAM.
[PANTING]
GO TO TOWN, SON.
OK. IT'S OFFICIAL.
I'M GONNA BE SICK.
