Chudnofsky's on our ass guys.

We've got to get the sh*t done tonight.

You've just been stung.

Yeah.

You.

This is my town, now.

My name is 'The Green Hornet'.

Hello there, nice to meet you.

Hello, how's it going?

Uh, anyway.

Tell your boss, The Green Hornet

sends his regards.

Dude.

You broke my lab, man.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that.

Let's burn this mother down, Kato.

Explain yourself, Mr. Tupper.

The guy was crazy, man.

I mean he drove a car through a wall.

The thing was like a half-tank or something.

There was fire coming out of the thing.

And?

Oh yeah, he gave me this.

He said that this is his town now.

A man comes in, in a rented costume

and you sh*t your pants?

Look, trust me.

A guy...grown man wearing a mask.

Is a little bit scarier than a guy wearing a suit.

You're not pleased with my suit?

Does it fail to fill you with fear?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean any disrespect.

Do you have any idea how many great

people I've killed in my suit?

-I like your suit.

-Me too.

Now this is exactly what I was talking about.

I'm not as scary as some idiot in a green mask.

Come on!

You say they want to take business.

Now this guy ran six of the biggest meth labs in L.A.

Now because of that Hornet, he's dead.

Business affected.

Well I've got three reports of the Green Hornet

shooting on a red light here.

I have an elderly couple that claims that the Green Hornet

gave them the finger.

The Green Hornet and his Chauffeur in a fist

fight with gang members in south central.

The Green Hornet raises a lot of questions.

We all know that gang proliferation

has been rising in the last few years.

Okay, that'll be homework. I got a Yoga class.

Anywho, bottom line. Headlines people.

Get this story out there.

Will the violence continue to spill out onto the streets?

What are the police doing about him?

Is anyone safe at the mercy of

dot-dot-dot, The Green Hornet.

And I want those dots,

I want dots in the paper.

Mr. Reid, do you understand

that's kind of hitting it delicately?

-No.

-That D.A. Scanlon's entire reelection,

platform is based on him cleaning up the streets.

I know you guys are acquaintances.

So if you want to...

Oh, actually that's a great idea.

You should use that.

Write an article about that.

Even D.A. Scanlon is quivering at the

feet of this scourge.

Use the word, 'scourge'.

Write an article about that.

-Britt, can I talk to you for a second?

-Yeah.

Look, I know what you're tying to do here.

Turn this newspaper into some kind of discothque.

But it's not going to work.

That's now what I'm doing. She's a brainy broad, dude.

This is a serious matter.

For every line that we print, there's repercussions.

Somebody has to take responsibilities.

-That's me!

-Well, I'm not afraid of these bastards.

And you shouldn't be either.

Their leader was Daniel, he made it to the wall.

They killed for wanting and speculating on the drug war.

That's exactly what you and your

little girlfriend are doing.

I know that you think my

experience ain't a worth sh*t.

But your father used to listen to me.

So should you.

This is the story I want to run.

I'm going with it, and if you are fortunate

enough to be still with us.

It's what, Daniel Ver...vertila, Vertila...Ver-te-lie?

Ver-tel-lie, it's what he would have wanted, too.

Okay.

That's the story, team.

Run it!

Britt Reid, out true.

Van Halen:
Feel Your Love Tonight

Alright!

Zzzzzp, zzzp.

We're gettin' funny in the back of my car

I'm sorry honey if I took

you just a little too far, yes

I want this Hornet guy!

Uh too, too far

So I, I told the fellas out behind the bar

So let me tell you honey just how fine you are, yes

I guess you are

You see I'm beggin' you pleeease

beggin' on, beggin' on my knees

Sayin' I can't wait to feel your love....

-Wait, don't, don't, don't!

Camera got us.

What camera?

The Green Hornet and his masked accomplish

started major trouble in the southland today.

-Kato, is in the house.

-Yes.

I just checked the Hornet mail.

Nothing new, but they'll be a knocking.

-Sounds great.

-Yeah.

-I have something for you.

-Really?

Awesome.

Dear Britt,

You are my, xiongd .

What's xiongd ?

Brother.

That's awfully nice.

I've never had a brother, man.

I've always wanted one.

Whoa!

What the hell is this?

It's a gas gun.

Your Hornet gun!

-A gas gun?

-Yeah.

Why not a gun, gun?

Our enemies have gun, guns.

What, I don't understand, why, what are these?

What is this? What are these?

These paint balls?

No, these are filled with knock-out gas.

That is insane. Where's yours?

Do you have one? Do have a black

version or something?

No, just you.

-No?

-No.

Well why not? Why just me?

You, you're so special.

I know I'm special, but how come

I'm the only one with a gun?

Because you don't have much fighting experience.

So I thought you needed a gun.

Well, I'll be honest, that's a little insulting, man.

I mean I thought we were both

bad asses the other night.

I kicked that guy in the face like three times,

remember? I kicked him in the face.

-Yeah, I...I remember.

-Yeah.

It makes you look cool.

I need to look cool now?

What the hell?

You said my outfit was pimp.

I remember thinking, that's a weird

word for him to use, pimp.

But you said it, you said it was pimp.

-It is pimp.

-Yeah.

The Hornet gun is just an accessory.

-An accessory.

-Yeah.

Well then, you need...you need nun chucks then.

If you don't like it, don't use it.

No, let me...how does it work?

Sh*t!

It works.

KATO!

Kato!

Over here.

Hey, you're awake.

What the hell, what happened to me?

What's happening?

What happened?

You shot yourself in the face, by mistake.

Ho...ho..how long was I out? What time is it?

Two o'clock.

Oh, that's not so bad, I guess.

On Thursday.

It's Thursday, are you kid...it's not Monday right now?

No, I'm sorry.

Did you put this diaper on me?

Well what did I miss?

Nothing, really.

I did some work on the Black Beauties.

Beau-tie's?

Holy crap.

Back-ups.

How the hell did you do this in four days?

It's been eleven days.

Whoa, eleven days?

What, are you kidding me?

I wasn't sleeping. I was in a coma, dick.

But it's okay now. I fixed the Hornet gas.

The gas only lasts one hour.

Can I see it?

-Okay, but be careful this time.

-I'll be careful, I just want to look at it.

Just give to me for one second and I'll just...

See you in a hour.

-Mr. Reid.

-Hey.

Welcome back.

I'm so glad you're feeling better.

I heard that Mono is the worst.

Mono?

Yeah, well it's uh, better than herpes, right?

-Here are you messages.

-Thank you.

I have some meeting's I'd like to set up with you.

Okay, cool, great.

Here is the research that you asked for.

Oooo, Green Hornet, me likee.

D.A. Scanlon called, he said

that he really needs to speak to you.

Boring.

Let me look at this stuff.

Thought maybe we could go to dinner,

or get a drink. Blow off some steam.

Yeah, I would love to.

So.
