Dansen

Actually, if you don’t mind we’d like to-(cont) 

FRED

Get a warrant or talk to my lawyer. Take him away.

Fred goes back inside and slams the door.

Dansen

(cont)

Ask you a few questions.

Smirk

Guess family isn’t what it used to be. 

Dansen

Well, you’ve got to admit, if you had a brother that dressed up in underwear and tossed grenades at people you wouldn’t exactly want them hanging around. 

Smirk

Family is family. Blood is thicker than anything else.  

INT. DINING ROOM – NIGHT

Fred is inside watching. Fred frowns.

EXT. FRED’S HOUSE - NIGHT

Dansen

Even the law? 

Smirk

Yup. Even the law.

Dansen

Some cop you are. Come on, let’s get out of here. You’re being awfully quiet there Captain Cosmos

Smirk

We have your brother with us.

Fred opens the door. 

Dansen

Public record listed Dr. Noble being released to your temporary custody several months ago, and we just wanted to see if you had some sort of on-going counseling. 

Frank

Fred, I-don’t know what’s going on. I’ve-something happened to me.

Fred looks shocked for a moment. He looks Frank up and down. He starts looking angry and then spontaneously rushes forward and punches Frank. 

Dansen

Whoa! Hold on there! 

Smirk

That wasn’t exactly the reaction I was expecting. 

Frank

What-why? 

FRED

I saw the whole thing on the news Frank. How DARE you bring this sort of thing to my front door! I’ve got children.

Frank

It’s not exactly like I had a choice, I’m barely remembering who I am. 

FRED

Yes, Frank-you did have a choice. Go away. 

[Script] Tossing Grenades at Windmills - Page 44

FRANK

A crime you say? 

OLD MAN

Oh yes! Being committed by the Forces of Evil! 

FRANK

THE FORCES OF EVIL?! 

DANSEN

Those are the guys, yeah. 

FRANK

(puts on his mask)

THEN LET US DEPART! 

Frank charges out of the bank at a full out run. Dansen and Smirk slowly start to follow, obviously in no particular hurry.

DANSEN

Sad.

BANK TELLER

This happens a lot? 

SMIRK

Way too much.

EXT. FRED’S HOUSE - NIGHT

Outside a small house, normal looking yard with a white picket fence. Frank, Dansen and Smirk walk up to the door. Dansen knocks. 

Fred

(through the door)

Hello? 

Dansen

Yes, are you FRED Noble? 

Fred

Yes, that’s correct. What’s the matter officer?

FRANK

Listen-you don’t understand. I don’t get a lot of this, but I know something bad is happening. 

DANSEN

Oh yes, a lot of bad stuff is happening all over the place.  

FRANK

I’ve got to stop it! 

DANSEN

And what would that be? 

FRANK

I can’t. I’m having trouble remembering, It was Dr. Shadows! 

SMIRK

You mean the super hero who’s been dead for 30 years? 

FRANK

But I just saw him! 

SMIRK

Oh really? Wait, you’re a super hero right? 

DANSEN

Huh?

(looks at Smirk)

SMIRK

(Looking back at Dansen)

Bear with me here. 

FRANK

No. I mean yes. I was but I’m not really a super hero. 

SMIRK

That’s a shame, because there’s this crime we need help solving. 

[Script] Tossing Grenades at Windmills - Page 42

SMIRK

Ok, maybe he’s not so fine. 

OLD MAN

Do you think those are real live hand grenades he’s carrying? 

DANSEN

I don’t know, but I’m not taking any chances…(walks toward Frank) Excuse me-(cont) 

FRANK

Huh? 

DANSEN

(cont)

Mr..er…? 

FRANK

Frank, Grenademan…GrenadeFrank 

SMIRK

Right Mr. GrenadeFrank, we’re going to have to take you in.
 

FRANK

NO! Not back there! They locked me away! 

DANSEN

Locked you away eh? As in the nuthouse? 

FRANK

That’s right! After they tampered with my mind! 

SMIRK

Well-we’ll just take you for a nice relaxing drive then, how does that sound?

OLD MAN

You know, I’ve been going to this bank all my life, and its been robbed 47 times while I’ve been here. Seen a lot of super heroes come and go, but sometimes they get into that mode. 

FRANK

I-what the crap am I wearing? 

BANK TELLER

Mode?

OLD MAN

Yeah, that glazed look in their eyes. The kind they get sometimes when they speak about their thoughts as if they were speaking to some kind of audience. 

Bank Teller and Old Man briefly look at the screen a moment. 

FRANK

It’s all coming back! I’m Grenademan. No, I’m Frank Noble-except that by night I’m Grenademan, whose secret identity is… 

Dansen and Smirk Enter walk into the bank.

Dansen

Someone call in about a lunatic with a hand grenade? 

BANK TELLER

That’d be me officer. 

SMIRK

Oh, it’s him…he’s the guy we found over at Inoria and Queen’s place earlier. He’s fine. 

FRANK

WHO AM I? I AM NOT A SUPERHERO! 

[Script] Tossing Grenades at Windmills - Page 40

BANK TELLER

It’s a crime to go walking around with Hand Grenades… 

OLD MAN

What if he uses one of them? 

Frank walks around the bank, alone, speaking to himself.

FRANK

I-remember this place and yet I don’t. It all feels so strange. It’s like it was some sort of amnesia. The last thing I remember was the lab, and then being kidnapped and then-

(pauses) 

OLD MAN

He’s muttering to himself 

BANK TELLER

That’s not a good sign. 

OLD MAN

Think we should call the cops? 

FRANK

They tortured me…can’t let them get it. Can’t let them get into my mind! 

BANK TELLER

Oh yeah. Very bad sign there.

(picks up the phone to call the police) 

FRANK

Can’t let them get the formula. Reflexium. It’s all. It’s all like a dream. 

OLD MAN

You know, I’ve been going to this bank all my life, and its been robbed 47 times while I’ve been here. Seen a lot of super heroes come and go, but sometimes they get into that mode.

Smirk

How do you know they’re not a receptacle for some previously unknown cosmic power? 

Frank leaves, shaking his head.

INT. BANK – DAY (LATE)

At the bank again, Frank Noble in costume, without the mask, garnering bizarre looks from the patrons. 

Old MAN

Say ain’t there that there super hero that clocked me upside the head? 

BANK Teller

Yes, that certainly does seem to be him. 

Old MAN

Dangerous to society. A menace. Out to be locked up. 

Bank TELLER

I don’t know, I make it a policy to avoid arguments with people that have an inordinate amount of explosives on their person. 

Old MAN

You have a good point there. Problems like that usually take care of themselves….as in sending themselves to the afterlife very shortly. 

Bank TELLER

Think I should call the police? 

OLD MAN

No, there’s no crime in being a super hero…

Dansen

What, now you’re some kind of political expert? 

Frank

Er…right. Will you be needing me here any longer? 

Smirk

We might need you to make a statement later, but since you seem to be fine-and a friend of Hawkqueen’s, I don’t see any reason why not. Captain generally doesn’t like us messing around with Superheroes.

Frank

How do you know I’m not a super villian? 

Dansen

Villains tend to have less ridiculous costumes. 

Frank

er….right. 

Smirk

Most defiantly, bad guys almost always have a better sense of style. Though I have to say Hawkqueen is quite a babe.  Inoria is a bit young for my taste though.

Dansen

Oh, I agree with you there. It’s usually the males that have a total lack of fashion sense, like Captain Hammer…it’s not like he NEEDS to have those hammers glued to his cape, I mean they don’t actually DO anything.
