[John] I've got to talk to the chief.

He's not taking me seriously.

Oh, boo-hoo-hoo, rookie.

Nobody likes a whiner. Now,

what are you gonna do about it?

I'm ready to get tough...

real tough.

- [Cop] Here comes Gadget.

- Hey, that your new partner, Gadget?

- What you got, a cat burglar?

- A real felon, huh?

- The city's safe now.

- Cat got your tongue?

Inspector Gadget reporting,

sir, with the 13th...

that's a baker's dozen... kitten

I've pulled out of a tree this week.

- [Meowing]

- So?

- Permission to speak freely, sir.

- No.

- [Kitten Meows]

- Well, if you're gonna pout.

Thank you, sir.

What I want to say is that,

while I appreciate cute and fluffy

as much as the next officer,

I fear that the kitten-rescue patrol

is a misuse of my capabilities.

Huh. You know, I don't get it,

Gadget. Every time you...

I won't be happy

until I've brought the murderers

of Artemus Bradford to justice.

Ah. And I won't be happy

until you're off the force,

and being sold, piece by piece,

at some garage sale.

- [Kitten Slurping]

- I want that case, sir.

Well, I'll tell you,

the problem is the Bradford case

requires real police work,

- and the fact is, you're not

a real police inspector.

- [Kitten Belches]

You are not a real policeman.

You arejust a publicity stunt

that we have to put up with.

So, why don't you just

about-face...

and get out of my office.

[Kitten Whimpers]

Okie-dokles, sir.

I've pretty much completed Prometheus

per your specifications,

and, I must say, the likeness

is really quite convincing.

Good. Imitation is the sincerest form

of flattery, Kramer.

Isn't that Dr Brenda Bradford's

private data?

Oh, yes.

I tapped into her files

and stole her research.

Why would you do that?

[Imitating Kramer] "Why would you

do that? Why would you do that?"

[Cackling, Sighing]

- [Grunting]

- Ah. Oh, oh.

Kramer, don't look

so nonplussed.

Now that Dr Bradford is part of

the Scolex team, we share everything...

or at least we will.

Oh, well, I think sharing files is a

great way to bring the company together.

You know, make sure we're all singing

off the same song sheet, so to speak.

Imagine my relief

to have your support.

Anyway, sir, like I said,

without the chip, I don't think...

Oh, so you made the chip.

- Hey, that looks just like

the guy we almost killed.

- Oh, I didn't hear that!

Chips ahoy.

- [Gasping]

- [Mumbling]

- [Sikes] Wow!

- [Kramer] Oh, sweet Lordy.

- Good morning, Robogadget.

- [Mumbling]

You havejust been animated...

by the most complex computer

technology in the world.

- What are you going to do now?

- [Bell Dings]

- I'm gonna kick some butt.

- [Gasping]

- [Laughing] Very saucy.

It looks so real. Yow!

- Oh!

- [Cackling] Very good, yes!

Oh, Robo, nothing

can stop us now!

Gotta make my own case.

B, B, B, B, B, B, B...

Bradford.

[Whirring]

Go, go, Gadget...

magnifying glass.

Increase magnification.

Increase magnification.

"Si."

Go, go... Spanish translation.

- [Computerized Voice]

"Si" means "yes."

- I knew it!

[Whirring]

Inspector Gadget,

can I have your autograph?

- Got any money?

- Uh-uh.

- [Shouting]

- [Screaming]

Ah!

[Laughing]

- [Radio]

#Hey, now, you're a rock star #

- Yeah!

# Get the show on, get paid

All that glitters is gold #

- # Only shootin'stars

break the mould ##

- So I'll rule out the Spanish.

But what else could "Sl"stand for?

"Space Invaders"?

- Nah!

- "Scuba Instructor"?

- No!

- Hey, how about "Super Idiot"?

- No, that's not it.

- Uncle John...

- I love you, but I think

you have a loose wire.

- [Laughing]

Oh, what about that?

"Scolex Industries."

Hello. Finally, there's

a detective in the house.

Wait a minute. If Scolex stole

the foot, then Scolex murdered Dr...

Oh, no! Brenda!

[Gadgetmobile]

Time to work!

- [Tyres Squealing]

- Can you find the Scolex building

from here?

- Or should I call the police?

- I am the police.

- Hey, wait. What about me?

- [Gadgetmobile]

You're smarter than he is.

Stay in the car.

I don't mind baby-sitting you, Penny,

but please tell the beagle

that that's an armrest, not a chew toy.

[Man On TV] Inspector Gadget

apparently has gone berserk

in the downtown Riverton area.

Eyewitnesses told me

that he was laughing...

- while he maliciously stacked

these four cars.

- What's gone wrong?

Other reports indicate that he's

already caused a major traffic accident,

destroyed private property and set fire

to an elderly man's beard.

Go, go, Gadget... grappling hook.

Whoo!

[Screaming]

- [Television Reporter Continues]

- John!

What happened?

I'll go get Scolex. Maybe he can help.

Brenda, it's not safe here.

Scolex is a liar and a thief and...

Let's just say

he's not a very good guy.

Go home!

Lock your doors!

Stay alive!

Whatever happens, I will find you.

Oh, too far!

Whoa!

[Screaming, Thudding]

That hurt!

[Groaning, Coughing]

Wowser. I knew it.

You'll pay for this, Scolex.

Go, go... suction shoes.

Hello?

Hello?

Sandy, is that you?

- [Gasping]

- Wow!

- I finally get to meet you.

- Y...

- Sandy built me to your specifications.

- You're me?

We are like totally twins.

You must be Brenda. Sandy was right.

I'm you. Only prettier.

We probably share brain waves. Are you

thinking about gelato right now?

'Cause I am.

I gotta go find John.

Don't you wanna hang out?

[Snoring]

John!

[Laughing]

Outside! It's so beautiful!

Hey, Brenda, let's hang out, okay?

Have some quality girl time.

[Continues Snoring]

Gotcha!

- [Beeping]

- Whoa!

[Screaming]

- Huh?

- Go, go, Gadget... blades.

- Huh?

- [Grunting]

We have a blader.

Repeat...

[Continues Indistinct]

- [Grunts]

- You can run, but you can't hide.

Go, go, Gadget... brake!

- [Grunting]

- [Cackling]

[Whirring]

Smile!

- John!

- ## [Singing]

- # I got a wild wild life #

- Don't you ever stop?

Oh, this is so much more cool

than hanging out in that lab.

All Sandy ever wants to

talk about is that gross foot.

[Electronic Giggling]

- What foot?

- The one he stole

and copied to make me.

Brenda, I'm programmed

to be a cheerleader.

- [Crowd Cheering]

- Watch!

Ready? Okay!

# B-R-E-N-D-A #

# Brenda

That spells Brenda ##

[Voice Trails Off]

Greetings, Inspector.

Glad you could drop in.

- I owe you one, Scolex.

- Oh?

You blew up me and my Chevette,

and I really liked that car.

Well, you crushed my hand,

and I really liked that hand,

so, go, go...

get over it.

I don't know what you're up to, Scolex,

but you'll never get away with it.

[Cackling]

Oh, how cliche, Inspector.

I think somebody's been watching

too many Saturday morning cartoons.

- Hmm?

- Huh?

Huh?

Unfortunately, Gadget,

in the real world,

evil quite often prevails.

I'm afraid so.

Pull him up.

Now, look how your replacement

is helping people...

- [Cackling] to cross the street.

- Hey.

He looks just like me.

I don't get it.

- Why would you do this?

- To make teachers!
