(Zooms in on the city of Saint Canard Jack in the box plays. Explosion. Robbers run)
Quackerjack He, he, he. Child's play.
Megavolt (Bulbs breaking) No! I will avenge you my bulby brothernine. Who would dare?
Darkwing Duck I am the terror that flaps in the night. I am the little rollerskate at the base of villaiys stair case. I am Darkwing..Duck!
Quackerjack Play times over.
Darkwing Duck and I gotta get a shorter intro.
(Run's after the robbers leaping over rooftops. Swings off, landing on Quackerjack.)
Darkwing Duck Let's get dangerous!
(Megavolt fires electricity at Darkwing Duck, missing. Liqadator hits him with water. Darkwing uses grapling hook doging their attacks. Megavolt and Liquadator hit each other.)

Megavolt

and

Liquadator

ugh. ugh. ugh...



ugh. ugh. ugh...

(Zooms out showing Darkwing Duck on the TV Dewey Duck is watching.)
Launchpad McQuack Big day Dewey. Mustard stain or ketchup stain?
Dewey Duck Mustard looks less like blood. What is this weird show?
Launchpad Woah, what Darkwing Duck the greatest TV show of all time.
Dewey Ha, maybe when you were a kid. This hero guy doesn't fly or shoot lasers or anything.
Launchpad That hero guy is Jim Starling. He was an old school actor who did all his own stunts. Sure he got a little banged up in later seasons.
Darkwing Duck (On the TV) Ow, o. Keep rolling.
Launchpad But that just made him even more heroic.
Dewey Why didn't he just use CGI?
Launchpad Ha, ha. Real hero's don't need high tech

special effects or basic safety precautions. So, how do I look?

(Dewey gives him a thumbs up. They both get in the car.)
Launchpad Remember Dewey, a true hero thinks of his gut or not at all. Right D.W?
Darkwing Duck (Bobble Head) Let's get dangerous!
Dewey Whats the special occasion anyway?
Launchpad I finally got my driver's license.
Dewey Uh, wait what? Ahhhhhhh!
(Launchpad drives through the garage door.)
(Intro plays)

Dewey

(slow motion)

Launchpad

Aghhhhh!



Aghhhhh!

Dewey Ugh! How are you even a driver without a driver's license?
Launchpad Hey, come on I got a pilot's license don't I-wait don't I?
Dewey (sighs) Aren't you worried Scrooge will find out?
Launchpad You kidding, I had them mail the license straight to him so he'd be the first to know. (sniffs) He's gonna be so proud of me, huh wow.
Dewey The bin. The bin. The bin slow down!
(Launchpad screeches the car to a halt in a parking space)
Dewey Breathing heavily.
Launchpad I bet Mr. Mcdee got some big party planed for my big day. Wouldn't want to ruin the-Surprise, huh. (Bursts into different rooms) Surprise! Supplies. Boy he's really getting my hopes up the payoff is gonna be amazing. Surprise!

Scrooge McDuck



Gyro Gearloose

Shhhhh!




Shhhhh!

Gyro Quiet! The Gearloose monolithic rail converts oral input into Kinetic propulsion.

Launchpad



Dewey

Bah?



Bah?

Scrooge Sound power train.

Launchpad



Dewey

Bah.



Bah.

Launchpad Ah. Sorry Mr. Mcdee, but I thought you might want to hear-
Gyro I don't want to hear anything. This sensitive prototype runs on noise, observe. Hm hmm hm hm hmmm hmmmm.
(Trains starts to move, slowly)
Fenton Crackshell Ilumination Doctor Gearloose, alpha numerical substition. The catagorical reorganiization off letters to prime digits.
(Train speeds fast around the track propelling into a window. Releasing water into the lab.)
Gyro Ah! (Pushes over Dewey) My blueprints!
(Hits a button, causing a metal panel to slide over the cracked window.)
Fenton Sorry Doctor Gearloose.
Gyro Intern try to think!
Fenton That's all I do all the time.
Gyro Well, do it better.
Launchpad You probably couldn't fit a driver in that tiny train anyway. Say speaking of drivers-
Scrooge Gyro the board needs results. Ever since Bulb tech backfired ya need a invention that, well...
Dewey Won't turn evil and kill us all.
Gyro With all due respect sir. Innovation doesn't work that way. I can't just wake up one morning and say-
Dewey How about a self-driving robot car?
Launchpad A what now?
Gyro Bla. Too many variables. A self driving robot car would turn evil like that. (Snaps fingers) Nobody could-
Dewey Mark beaks did. He just posted that he's having a demo later today.
Gyro What! That hack, couldn't even poke him a microwave. We'll see about this!
Launchpad Okay cool. I'll just tell you my big news later.
Scrooge Launchpad I almost forgot!
Launchpad Yeah?
Scrooge Stop having mail delivered to my office. That's for incoming checks and death threats only.
(Launchpad picks up the thrown envelope taking out his license)
Gyro Wait what does a smiley face anvil road kill mean?
Mark Beaks Crushed it!
(claping for beaks)
Beaks Its a hectic world, posting things online, checking to see who liked your post. Couldn't you use a little time for yourself. Couldn't you use a buddy? That's the beaks, un-manned, driver, drone, yay! Buddy will drive you anywhere quickly, efficiently and cheaply. Buddy is compatible with any vehicle, making traditional drivers a thing of the past. The Waddle buddy system because machines are the new man and hold for applause.
Launchpad Boo! Bad! Do not like!
Gyro Agreed, very negative feelings indeed.
Beaks Whoa! Scrooge's driver and his chief inventor are threatened by my buddy here. Well that is how you know it's a good product.
Gyro Uh how can you ensure that this machine won't turn evil! Huh, I never said that out loud.
Beaks Top secret Beaks tech means this baby's 100% obedient to it's master. Next question please.
Launchpad Oh Yeah! Can you program a robot to brave the unknown and laugh at danger?
Beaks Yes.
Launchpad Can a robot greet you with a kind word at the end of a long day?
Beaks Yes.
B.U.D.D.Y That's a nice grey cardigan Mr. Beaks you are killing it today.
Launchpad Yeah well. Can a robot pull you from the wreckage of a crash with a reassuring smile that tells you everything's gonna be okay?
Beaks Well, no because it can't crash
Launchpad I'm sorry what?
Beaks Buddy show him. Buddy's patented sensors mean a smooth, crash free ride. No matter the situation you can count on buddy to get you where you going safely. Any more questions?
Scrooge This automated marvel could safe McDuck enterprises a fortune.
Dewey Your not seriously gonna by one of these things? I mean not when you have plenty of good drivers/pilots already.
Scrooge I may buy a whole fleet unless anyone has any brighter ideas.
Gyro Hmmm.
Launchpad A race!
Dewey (Gasps) What are you doing?
Launchpad Thinking with my gut. Me V.S the bot winner gets free candy for life.
(Dewey whsipers something to Launchpad)
Launchpad Oh thats better. Winner gets named the ultimate driver.
Scrooge A race would give me the chance to see how buddy preforms in a real world senario.
Mark Beaks oooooooo. Dramatic in in in in in in.
Launchpad May the best man-ooo Ow! Very strong robot hand.
(Launchpad and Dewey sneak into the lab at night.)
Launchpad AAH!
Dewey Ah, look out it's headless man horse. It broke in to hoof us all to death!
Gyro What? Don't be dumb. Just trying out some new interns. Don't tell my existing intern. Manny, dispose of them, violently. I can't have any distractions.
Launchpad No, wait. I need help. See, I have this friend. Let's call him Not-Launchpad. And he got and challenged a robot to a race, pretty common scenario. Now, Not-Launchpad definitely isn't afraid of losing and his boss replacing him with a robot, but he has a friend. Let's call him, uh, Launchpad, who is very worried about that. So I, he, they, uh, thought you could help figure out how to take this robot down, yes? Oh, in this scenario, you're still you.
Gyro Dummy, there's some dummies here to see you.
Fenton At your beck and call, Dr. Gearloose. I heard everything. Everything. I'm happy to prove my worth by meeting Mr McQuack. Dr. Gearloose is working on an innovation that will better all of mankind both literally and figuratively. Behold. Operating passcode Blathering...
Gyro No! That is not ready yet. Go to your room!
Fenton Forgive Dr. Gearloose. He's a little more deranged than usual trying to figure out how Beaks beat him to the self-driving car.
Launchpad That won't be a problem once I put that tin can it its place. In the recycling, where the garbage goes.
Dewey Woof. We'll work on smack talk later. Right now, we need something to help Launchpad get the edge on Buddy.
Fenton Step into my laboratory.
Dewey Your lab is in the bathroom?
Fenton Dr. Gearloose says this is the perfect place for my work. I'm just now realizing that remark may not have been entirely complementary. No matter! So how are we going to soup up your car? Frictionless tires, oscillating overthruster, an engine that can bend the very fabric of space itself?
Dewey Yes, all of that.
Launchpad Eh, I don't know about all of these gizmos, can't you just give me a couple of pointers on how to beat that robot?
Fenton Reprogramming a man's brain to complete with a sophisticated auto intelligence.
Dewey Reprogram Launchpad? What about thinking with your gut and getting dangerous?
Launchpad Well, if Mr. McD thinks this uncrashable robo-me is so great, I have to prove I can get dangerous in the safest way possible.
Fenton That's sure to get Dr. Gearloose's attention. It could work! I'll clean that later.
scene: driving course in the desert
Fenton Don't go over thirty-two miles per hour, and hit all turns at a safe thirty-five degree bend, and increase velocity by fifteen percent on straightaway. These visual cues will trigger psychosomatic synaptic reflexes to improve your performance. Did you get all that?
Launchpad ...Yes.
Beaks Welcome to the Waddle test track. Time for the ultimate contest between man and machine. First around the block wins.
Launchpad Don't worry, Mr. McD, I got this.
Scrooge Good lad. Beat this bionic blaggard and I can probably talk Beaks down on price when I buy a fleet of them. Anyway, good luck.
Dewey Hey, you're the best personal driver I ever had. You got this.
Fenton Follow the tips and you have a fifty-one percent chance of winning, and whatever you do, play it safe. Don't crash.
Launchpad Wait, "don't" crash?
Beaks Racers, to your marks.
Darkwing Duck Bobble-head Let's get dangerous.
Beaks Get set... Pew! Pew pew pew pew pewpewpewpewpewpew.... That means Go!
Launchpad And we're off. Hands at ten and two, keep it in first gear, or was that hands at ten and one, second gear? Where's the index? Oh no.
Dewey and Fenton Don't crash. Don't crash.
Launchpad Gotta catch up. Ah, check your six, carry the two, uh, seventeen, other number, two!
BUDDY Adjusting for hazardous conditions.
Launchpad Huhh, Uhuhuhu, Hah.
Dewey Ah! He's gonna do it!
Fenton Go, you bumblebee like savant, Go!
Beaks grr.
Launchpad Woo! oof!
Beaks Hahah! did it. Take that, everyone who's not me.
Scrooge Impressive display, Beaks. You have really built something, here.
Gyro Or did he? I couldn't be sure til I saw how it performed under pressure. The precision, the deadly grace, oh yes, I've seen it before. Ha HAH! Beaks tech is actually bulb tech. That's how he beat me to the punch. He stole my technology! Officer, arrest this man.
Scrooge Is this true?
Beaks Of course not. I didn't steal it from him, I stole it from a public online forum then Beaksed it up.
Gyro How would one of my inventions end up online... (gasp)
Fenton Haha, oh wow.
Gyro You!
Fenton You circumvented the kill switch. Why didn't anyone else on the message board figure that out?
Gyro You posted my top secret plans on the internet?!
Fenton You were having so much trouble keeping your inventions from turning evil so I turned to the net to crowdsource a solution?
Infuriated with his top secret plans being sent into an internet, Gyro literarily cuts the loose and furiously charges at Femton, only to be apprehended by Dewey and Scrooge. Gyro NO!! YOU'RE FIRED!!!!
Fenton Butbutbutbutbut... No..
Dewey Easy, easy, easy, calm down...
Launchpad Uh, back to town, Mr. McD?
Scrooge That's alright Launchpad, we'll ride with Beaks and Buddy to sign the sales paperwork. Come on, Dewey.
Gyro So, how did you keep bulb tech from going bad?
Beaks Say what, now?
Gyro The morality circuits, modify them keep them from going evil?
Beaks No, I just made them look less dorky. They're dumb robots, right?
Gyro Oh no. nononononono!
All AAAHHH!
Fenton Room for one more? (sigh) I have so many ideas, but I try too hard hoping at least one of them will stand out. Just vomiting them out at random like Blah, solve world hunger, blah, infrared toothbrush, I just want to help people you know? (car screaming in background) Make them better.
Lunchpad Why? Even if you try to be better, there's always someone better than you, maybe with built in wifi. You'll just be ignored. Best to stop trying. Man, is there anyone having a worse day than us?
All AAAHHH!
Scrooge Shore these child locks.
BUDDY Please remain seated.
Scrooge Take that, you magnetic monstrosity.
BUDDY Buckle up for safety.
Scrooge Sanctimonious seat belts.
Beaks oh, W-we need a logic puzzle to fry its circuits. Robot, what is love?
Gyro That's stupid. Robot, could I invent an element so heavy even I couldn't lift it?
Beaks I definitely could.
Gyro No, you couldn't!
Dewey Give it a rest, geniuses. (honks horn)
Lunchpad Yes, you replaced me with a cool robot car. I get it.
All AAAHHH!
Fenton Buddy's gone glitchy. They're in trouble.
Lunchpad What? I may not be Mr. McD's driver for much longer, but he can still count on me to get him to where he's going. I'll keep him busy. You figure out a way to get them out of that car.
Fenton I think I got something for that. You try corralling him into a ravine.
Lunchpad Or I'll probably just crash into it.
Fenton Isn't that really, really, unsafe?
Lunchpad I tried playing it safe, old friend. Didn't work.
Launchpad with Bobble-head Let's get dangerous.
Dewey Launchpad!
Launchpad Give me your hand!
Fenton C'mon, pick up, pick up, pick up!
Manny (clopping) Gearloose labs.
Fenton Manny! Salvation. I know we have our differences in the past, but now we must put them aside for the greater good of scientific endeavor. What say you?
Manny (clopping) Who is this?
Fenton It's me, Fenton Crackshell Cabrara. Just put the phone up to the floor! Operating passcode: BLATHERING BLATHERSCITE! Manny, did anything happen? Oof!
BUDDY Please keep your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times.
Dewey Ah.
Launchpad Ah! Dewey!
Dewey AAHH! (gasp)
Gizmoduck Gotcha! Hahaha, wow! Hold on, I'll get you out, somehow.
Scrooge Oh good, another robot.
Gizmoduck's suit computer Calculating options. Activating shoulder blades.
Gizmoduck I suggest you hold very, very still.
Scrooge Oh, hey.
Gizmoduck Come on!
Suit Incoming threat.
Gizmoduck c'mon suit, do something.
Suit Defense mode: activated.
Dewey Woah, look out!
Scrooge Who the blazes are you?
Gizmoduck Call me, (gets hit by car) Gizmoduck!
Gyro Gizmoduck?
Beaks Gizmoduck.
Gizmoduck Suit, make it stop, make it stop! Suit! Help!
Suit Activating rodeo grapple
Gizmoduck Ah, missed, something else.
Suit Activating pectoral parachute.
Gizmoduck Stop! Stop! Brakes! Brakes! AAHH!!
Launchpad You're a robot this whole time, huh? Neat.
Fenton I'm not...
Suit Warning! Incoming threat.
Fenton Move!
Launchpad and Dewey Ah!
BUDDY For your safety, please stop the vehicle and return to the passenger seat.
Launchpad Looks like the only to survive is to crash.
Dewey Too dangerous! Too dangerous!
All Ha ha hah!
Launchpad Take that, you bucket of bolts. I'm sorry, is that offensive?
Fenton I'm not a... AAHH!
Suit Activating helmet copter.
Gizmoduck Ha ha ha ha, woo! I'm alive! This is awesome!
Launchpad Wow, looks like somebody's first crash. (back at garage) Have a good day Mr. McD?
Scrooge Nice work today, Launchpad. See you tomorrow.
Launchpad You're... not gonna replace me?
Scrooge Replace you? Don't be daft. Where would I ever find a driver as crazy and dangerous as I am? Oh, Dewey told me about your driver's license. Congratulations.
Launchpad Aw, your approval is all the driver's license I need. C'mon, uh...
Scrooge You should really keep the license.
Fenton Sir! I was cleaning out my desk when suddenly the prototype armor burst from the chamber like so many split atoms and...
Gyro Ah, save it. I'm fired, Gizmoduck. (sigh) Scrooge is always complaining my inventions are "dangerous." This armor has got to be one hundred percent idiot-proof and well, you're just the idiot to prove it.
Fenton Oh, thank you sir. You won't regret this. This project stays top secret til it's out of beta. I won't tell a soul...
Launchpad Bye Gyro. Bye Gizmoduck.
Fenton ...from now on.
Gyro (sigh) Gizmoduck. What a stupid name.
Beaks Gizmoduck... I must have him.
