The Meteor Man Page #4

- Call the police!

- Cover me!

- He's over there by the car!

What's up with this?

What the heck is that?

Put your weapons down.

I want to talk to both sides!

It's a trick!

Stop shooting! Stop shooting!

- Hold your fire!

- Hold your fire!

Stop! Stop firing!

Come on, cuz.

Let's get out of here.

- Come on, G, let's break.

- Just shut up!

Captain, this is suicide.

We got to try

something different here.

Yo, man, this is crazy.

Come on, man, let's roll.

Let's hear

what he's got to say.

Easy, easy.

We just want to talk.

Yo, put them down.

I said put them down.

Check your boy.

What happened here, man?

- Congress has voted against...

- Janice looking sexy.

I bet if we went out one time,

she'd be my lady.

There has been

yet another sighting...

of the African American male

in a cape...

Hey, Jeff, come here.

Check this out, man.

He's reportedly shut down

fifteen crackhouses...

stopped eleven

attempted robbers...

and brought peace between

two inner-city street gangs...

and the police.

The gangs have now vowed

to work together...

to rebuild the community

they have destroyed.

And now we will have

an exclusive interview...

with the caped man himself.

You did an interview?

Here with us live

is the caped man...

Clarence James Carter III.

Mr. Carter, people say

they saw you fly away.

Can you explain this?

Well, I move so fast,

people think I'm flying.

I used to be a boxer.

I'm bad.

We understand you have

a police record...

for attempted burglary,

auto theft, running numbers...

That's all behind me now.

I know I was wrong.

I spent three years in jail

for that.

I'm a different man now.

I'm a crime fighter.

You crooks, beware.

The flying man is here.

Don't you roam...

Everybody's going to think

he's me.

Can you believe it?

He's talking to Janice.

Did you hear what I said?

We got to do something.

He talking to Janice.

A billion-dollar shipment?

What is this?

I mean, is this a joke?

What is that?

Somebody! What?

Somebody talk to me!

Don't look at me

like a bunch of dummies!

Anybody know anything

about this guy?

Simon,

what do you know about this?

- Nothing.

- Nothing?

What do you mean, nothing?

It started in your territory.

Nothing?

What does that mean, nothing?

I don't know anything,

Mr. Byers.

They say he can fly.

Well, I don't want him to fly.

Gentlemen, I'm prepared

to offer a bounty...

for this flying man...

one million dollars alive,

two million dead.

It's 12:
37 in the a. M...

and you're listening

to Rod Simmons on talk radio.

Our show tonight...

the flying man of D.C.

Does he really exist?

Is he real or fiction?

We want to hear from you.

We want to hear your calls.

Call in now.

You know our number.

Hey, Rod, man, I just want

to say that, you know...

with all the black-on-black

crime in D. C...

it's kind of nice to know...

a brother's out there

trying to do something.

Thanks.

I just want to say, I don't

know if he's real or not...

but I've got two kids,

and I just pray that he is.

I think this is

a ridiculous scam...

being perpetrated

on the inner-city...

by ambitious politicians...

stepping on the backs

of my people...

for their own corrupt

political agendas.

Peace!

You're listening

to Rod Simmons. Yes, caller?

All I know is that somehow...

someone they call

the flying man...

closed down a crackhouse...

and it brought my son home.

Yeah. Meteor Man.

His name's Meteor Man.

You sure? It's Meteor Man...

that's what they call him?

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is a miracle...

an outdoor grocery store...

a garden

in the middle of the ghetto.

It'll feed

thousands and thousands.

Who is behind this?

A few nights ago, we reported

that the caped man...

was Clarence James Carter III.

But the Bloods and the Crips

say that it isn't Mr. Carter.

Our caped hero

wants to be called Meteor Man.

No one knows his true identity.

Well, whoever you are,

keep up the good work.

And, Meteor Man, if you're ever

in my neighborhood...

lunch is on me.

I'm Janice Farrell reporting

for Channel Three News.

Sorry, Michael.

Excuse me. Stacy,

can I talk to you for a second?

My Nubian princess,

these are for you.

I love what you've done

with your hair.

It just becomes your face.

It's great.

Thank you.

Um, this is my boyfriend Malik.

How we doing,

my beautiful sisters?

And you must be Jeff.

My brother,

I heard a lot about you.

I'm kind of nervous, you know?

I'm new at this.

This is my first

black girlfriend, you know?

My real name's Bernard.

I just joined...

this African American

liberation movement...

and I'm feeling black.

And I want to thank you

for the opportunity.

I'm trying to greet somebody.

I knew it was

your lunch break...

and I want to take you to

lunch... if that's OK with you.

I don't want to dominate you.

It's your world.

No, it's quite all right.

I'd love to. Thank you.

I am honored.

I am truly honored.

Let me get your chair... please.

Have a nice lunch.

Yes. Don't you do that.

Let me get that.

It's been chilly.

Yo, I mean...

I got to get some class.

Oh, let me get the door

for you, my Nubian princess.

Good morning, Mr. Reed.

Slinkies move like life.

In one second,

everything can change.

How do you do it, Meteor Man?

You must have me mistaken.

Excuse me, Mr. Reed,

I don't mean to interrupt.

You're going to be late for

that meeting with the principal.

Thanks for reminding me,

Mr. Anderson.

Uh, I've got to go.

Did you hear?

Just a few minutes ago...

Meteor Man

destroyed another crackhouse.

It was on the radio.

Isn't that wonderful?

- That's wonderful.

- No, Simon, that's the dude.

I'm sorry.

I was mistaken.

No problem.

Baby Lords.

Junior Lords.

Thanks, Michael.

I seen them

sneaking in the back door.

We got to get out of here.

Let's wait until

they get out the parking lot.

You got superpowers. I don't.

Who does their hair?

This is Big John on D.C.'s

number one concert station...

FM 104.5.

Hey, we're coming at you live

from Washington City Mall...

I have a vacation

to the Bahamas.

But first, we have

a very special visitor.

It was the Golden Lords.

Meteor Man.

Good morning, Meteor Man.

Thanks for stopping by.

Well, thank you.

I'm just trying

to make D.C. Safe again...

especially for all

the beautiful, sexy ladies here.

And I would like to invite

my favorite TV anchor...

Janice Farrell

to join me for a meal.

His last meal.

Mr. Byers, have my two million

in the morning.

I am Meteor Man!

And I want to say hello to

all the lovely ladies out there.

Now, I know a lot of y'all

are saying...

"Why didn't you

start helping us sooner?"

'Cause I figured now

was the time.

'Cause crime

is at an all-time high.

Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen,

let's give it up for Meteor Man!

I must keep my identity

a secret...

but if you give me

your phone number, I will call.

'Cause I can tell

with my X-ray vision...

that you and I
