COMMANDER GILMOUR

What are you saying, son?

RADAR OPERATOR:

It appears to be in the shape of

Bob's Big Boy, sir.

SCREEN 3 - THE BOB'S BIG BOY ROCKET

The rocket is dirty and battered from thirty years in space.

COMMANDER GILMOUR

Oh my God, he's back.

DRAMATIC STING:

RADAR OPERATOR:

In many ways, Bob's Big Boy never

left, sir. He's always offered the

same high quality meals at competitive

prices.

COMMANDER GILMOUR

Shut up.

RADAR OPERATOR:

Should we scramble TacHQ for an

intercept?

COMMANDER GILMOUR

What's its current position?

SCREEN 4 - A RADAR MAP OF NEVADA

On the radar screen it says "NEVADA."

RADAR SCREEN:

It was over Nevada, but... oh my

God! It's gone!

COMMANDER GILMOUR

Listen son, I want you to forget

what you saw here tonight.

RADAR OPERATOR:

Commander, I have to log it...

COMMANDER GILMOUR

That's a direct order. You didn't

see a thing!

He hangs up and picks up another phone.

INT. M.O.D. - HALLWAY (OUTSIDE CRYOGENIC STORAGE FACILITY)

Basil Exposition (now aged 30 years), Command Gilmour, and

NICOLAI BORSCHEVSKY, a Russian General, put on extreme-weather

gear over their uniforms.

BASIL EXPOSITION

As you know, gentlemen, Dr. Evil had

himself frozen in 1967. Soon after,

Austin Powers volunteered to have

himself frozen, in the event Dr.

Evil should ever return. We believe

Dr. Evil has begun yet another plot

to take over the world. And that,

gentlemen, is why we're here.

COMMAND GILMOUR:

Outstanding re-cap, Exposition.

Command Gilmour opens a vault door. COLD MIST escapes.

INT. M.O.D. - CRYOGENIC STORAGE FACILITY

They pass a row of cryogenic holding berths, each containing

a naked PERSON in suspended animation, a la Demolition Man.

They pass GARY COLEMAN, EVEL KINEVEL (with cape), and VANILLA

ICE, all in suspended animation. They pass a now-empty berth

with a plate that reads "JOHN TRAVOLTA."

BORSCHEVSKY:

Who is this Austin Powers? Is he a

British operative?

BASIL EXPOSITION

No, he worked freelance, an

internationally renowned swinging

photographer by day and the ultimate

gentlemen spy by night.

Finally, they come across Austin Powers: He is naked. His

hands cover up his private parts. The look on his face

suggests 'Oh my God, my bits and pieces are cold'. His glasses

are frosted over. He is very hairy.

INT. EXAMINATION AREA
