The Green Hornet Page #3

You hear me, Dad?

We did it.

That was amazing.

Kato, I'm serious.

I would get real with you.

So just go with this.

It might get weird and intimate,

but just accept me, okay?

What we did tonight?

Was fantastic.

It was amazing.

We saved those people, man.

We saved their lives.

So here's what I'm saying.

We keep doing this.

You can beat the crap out of

a million dudes at once.

'Cause you can freeze time or something,

when your heart starts pumping.

We do that every night, I'm saying.

Kato.

Kato?

(Sings) We could be heroes.

Hey, hey, hey. Look, look.

We're on television.

We're on T.V.

-Was captured in this surveillance tape.

-Look at me.

-Where am I?

-I don't know.

-That was confronted by, but managed to escape.

I'm to fast for T.V.

Yes, exactly.

Desecrated and this within days..

We saved those people, and they just

talk about his stupid head.

How can we be heroes if

they think we're criminals?

Are considered armed, and dangerous.

Okay, think about this, Kato.

What is the one insanely stupid thing

every super hero has in common?

Tights.

No.

Cape.

No, Kato.

It's that every one knows

that they're the good guy.

The hero, you know.

All the bad guy has to do is

start capping some innocent people.

And he's got the good guy by the nuts.

He's got to do whatever he says.

It's in every movie. It's in every comic book.

It's in everything. It's so stupid.

But, if the bad guy thought the good guy,

was also a bad guy.

He wouldn't be able to do that.

That's what we'll do differently.

We will pose as villains.

But we'll act like heroes.

But then the police, and the bad guys,

will both try to kill us.

We're dead already, Kato.

I mean, seriously you wouldn't...

Look at us. We've both been completely

wasting our potential.

You a little bit more than me.

I mean, what do you want your

autobiography to be called?

Oil changes, and cappuccinos?

Because I think, "Balls deep, in sh*t kicking dudes".

By Kato. Is a much cooler sounding book.

I would read that book, and

I don't read sh*t.

But when they've adapted it into a movie.

I would see the sh*t out of it.

Kato.

You should never make coffee for anyone again.

It's a waste of your talent.

It's not dying that you need to be afraid of.

It's never having lived in the first place.

It did feel good. Saving those people.

Well technically I saved them,

but you helped, I guess. Yeah.

-Whatever.

-Whatever. Let's not get technical.

But why would people take us serious?

We're just two guys who stole a head.

Hmm?

I know how to make them take us seriously.

All right, gentlemen.

Here ye, here ye.

The court is in session.

Let's talk shop, okay.

Shall we?

Who is this guy?

Who is your friend?

He's my man.

I'm not your man.

He's not my man, no.

He's uh, he's not my man.

He's like, uh...

He's like, "My man".

He's...my...uh...

Not your...it's platonic...we're just...

Platonic friends. We're platonic male friends.

He's my, Executive associate.

Yes, that's who he is, and that doesn't matter.

What does matter,

is how we tackle this horrible incident.

It's clear to me that whoever did

this means business.

And this is just the beginning.

Talking about business.

This vandalizing business, oh I get it.

Listen, let's not blow this thing

out of proportion.

I will blow this guy in any

proportion I like.

This is my newspaper, Axford, and I

want this man on the front page of it.

I want him on the web page.

I want you to blog about him.

I want him on every news outlet we have.

I want the whole city to know,

how dangerous this man is.

The man that cut the head off

of my father's statue.

Not yours.

All right.

Um, since there isn't real

info on the guys identity.

Um, what do we call him?

That's easy.

I got it.

This man,

is called,

"The Green Bee".

It's kinda lame.

Yeah, it sounds like a knitting store, or something.

Sounds like an energy bar.

No, I...I...it came out wrong.

(all talking at once)

Make it like the green decimal.

The Green Hornet.

Naw, it's more like, uh.

-What?

-What did?

The Green Hornet.

Well that's pretty awesome.

Much better.

-You guys like that?

-Yeah.

Green Hornet it is.

-The Green Hornet.

-Okay, okay, fine.

-Fine, it's decided then.

-Yeah.

The front page of tomorrow's newspaper

will feature,

"The Green Hornet".

-Unless you like "Green Bee" better, anyone?

-Nah, no. Oh that's much worse.

Okay fine. Okay.

Let's roll, Kato.

It's going to be a long night.

I am.

We need to think of a cool name for you.

The little stinger.

I'm the Green Hornet.

You're my little stinger.

No way.

The Honey Pot.

Get it. Bee's make honey.

You're my honey pot.

It's my homes.

Decapitated statues?

I've decapitated real people.

You know, I wouldn't worry about it.

You don't need their f***ing business.

I'm not worried.

Who told you I'm worried?

D.A. Scanlon, D.A. Scanlon. With the nightclub bombing

last week, and now this Green Hornet guy.

I understand the streets might not be as safe

as you're make them out to be.

Guys, guys. Stop, stop connecting

separate dots with invisible lines.

This Green Hornet thing, is just a prank.

Now what you guys should be reporting on is,

that with this public office, crime is down significantly

in the city of Los Angeles.

Thank you.

-Hi.

-Hi.

I'm Lenore Case.

I'm the temp for Mr. Reid's secretarial position.

Today's my first day.

Oh, nice to meet you.

I'm Kato.

It's my first day, too.

Really, well nice to meet you.

Do you work for Mr. Reid?

I'm his, Executive Associate.

Wow, that must be great.

Yeah, it is.

So far.

Kato, I've a really important question for you.

Uh, who is the Hottie-Boom-Body who's

standing right behind me, right now?

I'm kidding, hi I'm Britt Reid.

-I own this newspaper, what's going on?

-It's a pleasure to meet you, sir.

-I'm Lenore Case.

-Thanks...Oh.

I've been sent to you to be your temp

until you find a secretary.

Aaah.

Jackpot.

Right this way.

So.

Got one, why don't you tell me.

How do you feel about the state of this newspaper?

As it stands, today.

Give.

To be honest, this paper has taken

a dip in the last few years.

-In quality and ambition.

-Really?

Well, of course the entire industry has

taken a hit because of the internet.

So there's a lot of pressure to

print easy to digest articles.

And it is THE last family owned paper in the city.

And one of the only ones not attached to

a conglomerate in the entire country.

So it's understandable.

-Conglomerate?

-But the Sentinel used to really use its independence,

to be brazen at the very least.

Like that article that your father wrote,

just after the night club bombing.

That was real reporting. That is the kind

of article that can really make a difference.

Wow. That was good. You know a

lot about this sh*t.

I, I studied journalism. I have a minor in criminology.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Criminology.

Study the criminal mind.
