The Toxic Avenger Page #4

Synopsis: This is the story of Melvin, the Tromaville Health Club mop boy, who inadvertently and naively trusts the hedonistic, contemptuous and vain health club members, to the point of accidentally ending up in a vat of toxic waste. The devastating results then have a transmogrification effect, his alter ego is released, and the Toxic Avenger is born, to deadly and comical results. The local mop boy is now the local Superhero, the saviour of corruption, thuggish bullies and indifference. Troma classic with good make-up effects and stunts, a pleasant surprise indeed.

Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor.

Yes, Mr. Williams?

The victim killed in the dry

cleaners, Mrs, ah, Haskel.

What's her background?

What do we know about her?

Mrs. Haskel was a member of

our community for over 30 years.

Also a member of the PTA.

She had two fine sons.

Everyone that know her, loved her.

A question!

Are you certain, Mr Mayor,

that the chief and the police

department can handle

the situation in Tromaville?

I have the utmost regard for

the chief, and his department.

As I've said, he's conducting

a massive search

for the monster right now.

I want this thing found

and I want this thing killed!

The mayor has notified the

governor and he's prepared

to give us all the assistance we need.

Should we break out

the heavy weapons?

Come on, boys.

I'd be dead right now if

it wasn't for the monster!

Don't you think you're

being a bit hasty?

Clancy, you will do as you're

told or you'll find yourself

walking a beat at the city dump!

Now I want this thing shot

and I want you to shoot to kill!

That monster saved my life.

He's done a lot of good for this town.

Why are they going to kill him?

We should speak out!

Do something!

Why don't you do something!

Speak out!

Do you want me to speak up?

If I speak up,

I lose my business licence.

If I lose my business licence,

I'm dead.

Do you want another shake?

No! I want them

not to kill the monster.

I want us to do something!

Listen, Johnny, you're just a kid.

People can't go around doing

things just because they're right.

We have to leave these

decisions up to the mayor

- and the police chief.

- He's right.

But why would the mayor

want to destroy something

that does more good than

the entire police force.

No offence.

I know how you feel, Johnny,

he saved my life too.

But us, little guys, are just not

qualified to make these decisions.

That's why he's the mayor.

Right?

We've got to find him!

Come on, girl!

First day on the force

and I'm chasing monsters!

The dogs got a scent!

I'm missing the ball

game for this bullshit!

We're not going to find

no monster out here,

all we're going to find is a bunch

of mosquitos biting my ass!

Shut your mouth!

Hold on a second,

I think I see something.

You don't see nothing but a couple

of campers humping each other.

Come on, let's go home!

Holy sh*t! It's the monster!

Oh, sure!

He's got a Bimbo with him!

Oh, he's got your Mama with him!

She's wearing a bikini! Wow!

Wait, let me see!

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!

Come on, let's go tell the chief!

I'm going to get a medal for this!

Mayor! Mayor!

The monster has been sighted

in a field near Miller farm.

That's wonderful!

I'll have the National Guard

meet us out there in full force.

You leave now!

Yo!

Hello, Mr. Governor,

how are you, sir?

Fine, just fine.

Mr. Governor, I need your help, sir.

It's about this monster that's

been terrorising this town.

The local authorities can no

longer handle the situation.

That's why I need your help.

The National Guard?

I was hoping you'd say that,

so we can kill it.

Capture it? Well, I was

thinking the very same thing.

Yes, capture would be fine.

Ahha. Thank you, Governor.

Talk to you soon. Goodbye, sir.

Capture, my ass!

I don't like the way

this is going sargent.

I know.

The little people think he's

done a lot for this town.

Oh, my God! They're calling

in the National Guard!

Oh, look at all these men!

I hope they don't hurt the monster.

Monster, we want to give

him a medal, not kill him.

They're going to nuke him!

They're going to nuke the monster!

- They found the monster!

- He's at the Miller Farm!

They're going to kill him!

Holy cow! We can't let him die!

Let's go!

Out of the way!

Stand aside.

Just in the clearing, Mayor.

My troops have him surrounded.

I think he's still asleep.

Fine, we'll move in and wipe him out.

You can't do that, Mayor.

I've checked with headquarters

and they want us to

take him alive, not kill him.

Your in charge, go on

and give the orders!

Mayor, please, think of

what you are going!

There's an innocent girl

in there with him!

It's once life for the whole town!

But, Mr Mayor,

you don't understand!

He saved my life!

He doesn't deserve to die!

Shut up!

You don't understand the

seriousness of the situation here, boy!

How dare you discuss my

son's life or death like this.

I'm Melvin's mother.

He's a good boy.

He's never hurt anybody!

Silence! Silence!

The orders have been given!

It is our destiny to follow orders.

You in the tent, come out

with your hands up!

You are surrounded!

Grrr!

The minute he comes out, kill him.

- I'm coming with you.

- No, you not.

You've got to stay here.

No, I can't let you do it!

He's a hero.

Don't shoot him!

If you want to shoot my son,

you'll have to shoot me first!

Get these kids out of here!

It's okay, Mom. Children.

Shoot it!

Run! Run! Grrr!

Shoot!

No, I won't do it.

These kids are right.

Captain, have your men fire!

I can't.

Shoot them!

Fire!

Melvin!

Fine, I'll do it myself!

No!

You touch me again and I'll kill ya!

Grrr!

Keep away from me!

Get away from me!

Ah, get away from me!

Leave me alone!

I'll make you a deal!

I'll give you 10%, anything,

just leave alone!

Grr!

Don't hurt me!

I'm too young to die!

Please don't hurt me!

Please!

Let's see if you have any guts!

Aaahhh!

Officer Clancy,

take care of this toxic waste.

- Melvin!

- Sara!

Melvin!

Sara!

- Melvin!

- Sara!

So, Melvin, the monster hero,

rid Tromaville of all of it's evils,

so the good citizens could live

their lives in peace and happiness.

And the next time you're in

danger or in need to help,

look to the horizon and

maybe, just maybe...

The Toxic Avenger will be there.
