Transcript
{Open to a view of Gunhaver, Crackotage, Silent Rip walking in a swamp. The title "Two Part Episode: Part Two" appears, with "written on the john by A. Chimendez". The three start walking out the swamp and on to the Topplegangers' Hideout.}
SILENT RIP: You sure this is where the Topplegangers' Hideout is?
GUNHAVER: I hope so. If not, we're surrounded by an entirely different rag-tag band of mercenaries.
{Danger Music plays, four Topplegangers appear (silhouetted) from the bushes.}
GUNHAVER: All together now boys.
ALL: {groans} Gulp!
{Subtlefuge walks out of the bushes}
SUBTLEFUGE: Well, if it isn't my good twin brother, Crapotage. And a couple of Cheat Commandos. {pronounced co-mon-dos}
{Cut to Crackotage next to Silent Rip}
CRACKOTAGE: Not anymore, Subtlefuge. We're on our own.
SILENT RIP: And we need your help to break into the Headquarters Playset and free Blue Laser.
SUBTLEFUGE: And how do we know this isn't a trap?
{Cut to Gunhaver melting with his boxers full of lips on it showing.}
GUNHAVER: I've been wearing these same boxers for three {Crackotage and Silent Rip get disturbed expressions} days!
{Cut back to Subtlefuge}
SUBTLEFUGE: Eeeenngghh. I'm convinced. You might as well meet the rest of the Topplegangers.
{Cut to a scene with one of the Topplegangers, the Toppleganger is wearing glasses, also has a mustache, and has a gray skin color, wearing a pink shirt saying "BAD GUY", with a German helmet with a skull on it.}
SUBTLEFUGE: Dryghost.
{Cut to another scene with another Toppleganger, who has 2 scars, a green mohawk, a blue skin color, a chain around his chest, and a black coat.}
SUBTLEFUGE: Swampslash.
{Cut to another scene with just trees, then a Toppleganger comes out of Hammerspace, the Toppleganger has colorful clown hair, has a normal Cheat skin color, all his Cheat spots have many colors, and paint around his eyes, cheeks, and mouth, and is wearing a grenade belt with four grenades on it.}
SUBTLEFUGE: Fudgeclank.
FUDGECLANK: {laughs as a clown}
{The Topplegangers all walk up into a group.}
SUBTLEFUGE: Each is sold separately with rifle and gear.
{The "Cheap as Free" logo appears in the bottom left corner, cut to another scene at the outside of the Cheat Commandos HQ, zooming in to the inside.}
FLASHFIGHT: And then we all reverse flank, drop trou, and the insurgents should surrender! Any questions?
{Cut to Fightgar and Firebert.}
FIGHTGAR: Yeah, can we let Blue Laser out so maybe we can have some fun for once?
{Fightgar and Firebert start laughing.}
FLASHFIGHT: Uh-uh! Don't make me have to fire YOU, Firebert. I'd hate to waste such an exquisite commando name!
FIREBERT: {Sad The Cheat noises}
{Cut to Reynold and Blue Laser Commander in Reynold's office}
REYNOLD: And I'd like to submit a formal request for you to shut your face whenever it's convenient for you, and if not, then no problem!
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: Aw, come on! Really let 'er rip!
REYNOLD: I'll tear off your face! I'll tear it right off! I'll tear your face off and wear it to town!
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: Whoa! Struck a nerve there, eh, little Scrawnjob?
REYNOLD: Mmmm, Scrawnjob! I like the sound of that.
{Cut to Subtlefuge and the ex-Cheat Commandos}
SUBTLEFUGE: Here are the plans!
SILENT RIP: Where did you get those?!
DRYGHOST: We've had 'em for a while. I got the headquarters playset for my Bar Mitzvah.
SWAMPSLASH: It looks like this rear battery cover leads to the holding cell.
GUNHAVER: Then that's our way in!
SUBTLEFUGE: We'll take the Ramshanckle!
{Cut to the Topplegangers and former Commandos in a beat up boat with a cannon on top.}
SINGERS: It's the Ramshanckle, and you know dang well, it's made out of old vehicles that we couldn't sell!
{Cut to Flashfight and the Cheat Commandos.}
FLASHFIGHT: Since you've all been working so hard, I have a little surprise for you. Non-Violent Dressage Mishaps Volume 4!
ALL BUT FLASHFIGHT: {groans}
FIGHTGAR: I wanted to watch ponies... fightin'.
{Cut to the others outside the battery cover.}
CRACKOTAGE: There's the battery cover, but how will we ever get it open?
SUBTLEFUGE: Leave that to Swampslash, our master of disguise. He speaks three different languages, and can blend in anywhere.
SWAMPSLASH: {dressed as a battery} Uh... Charge. Positive. Negative. Rabbit. Um... Lick?
{The cover bursts open and everyone starts coughing.}
SILENT RIP: No wonder the electronic lights and sounds stopped working. These batteries haven't been changed since Donnie's twelfth birthday!
{Cut to Reynold's office}
GUNHAVER: Sorry Blue Laser, you've stayed in jail for the last time!
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: Can I get a "bo-nus"?!
GUNHAVER: Bonus! Now get out there and make with the evil schemes!
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: "Evil scheme" is quite literally my middle name! Its Slovetian!
GUNHAVER: Ha! This terlet has green water in it! A-cool!
{Cut to outside battery cover}
SUBTLEFUGE: {As Subtlefuge speaks, Blue Laser Commander walks by smiling.} Now, there's the little matter of our, um, let me think of it, how do say, you, um, payments.
SILENT RIP: {looking surprised} Oh! Uh... right. How do you feel about defaulted, unpaid, triple mortgages on restaurant spaces?
SUBTLEFUGE: It's as good as gold!
{Cut to Flashfight's share of the Cheat Commandos}
ANNOUNCER: And, once again...
ALL BUT FLASHFIGHT: {gasp}
ANNOUNCER: ...absolutely nothing happened.
ALL BUT FLASHFIGHT: Awwww...
{Blue Laser Commander appears on screen.}
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: Attention Cheat Commandos!
ALL: {gasp}
FLASHFIGHT: How did he get out?!
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: We're all ready to fight! We've flooded all the country's amusement parks with counterfeit Skee-Ball tickets, causing all the kids' Skee-Ball prizes to sky-rocket!
ALL: {gasp}
FLASHFIGHT: Why should the military be concerned about this?
FIGHTGAR: You'll never get away with it, Blue Laser!
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: Oh, it wasn't my idea. Meet Blue Laser's newest evil mastermind, Scrawnjob!
{Danger Music plays, Reynold/Scrawnjob shows up on screen.}
REYNOLD/SCRAWNJOB: That's right, Cheat ComannDON'TS! Say goodbye to those oversized novelty sunglasses! And that boom box was never attainable!
FLASHFIGHT: So, you've made a game for eight-year-olds slightly more off a rip-off. I still don't see how this should affect global security.
{Cut to Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage, who are now in the room.}
GUNHAVER: Don't you see, Admiral? Without eight-year-olds crap to win prizes, kids will have no recourse but to join criminal groups! The world will be overrun with lasers of all colors!
BLUE LASER COMMANDER: {halfheartedly} Oh no, Gunhaver did his job, rendering me useless through the TV! Bested again by my old nemesis.
ALL: Yay!
FLASHFIGHT: Oh well. I suppose you two have been ridiculous enough to justify the others existence. Here, Gunhaver, you can... have gun. {gives Gunhaver's gun back to him}
GUNHAVER: Thanks! {shoots Flashfight}
ALL: {gasp}
GUNHAVER: No, its cool. He's wearin' that bullet-proof vest from earlier.
{Reinforcements comes in, wearing the bullet-proof vest.}
REINFORCEMENTS: Hey guys.
