As a matter of fact, did you notice what the cargo on this crate is? Trubble Bubbles!
QUICK KICK
Joe Headquarters! Let's move it!
EXT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - DARKENED
INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - COMMAND CENTER
GUNG-HO
Nuts! You can't run a twentieth-century HQ on first-century technology! This is hopeless! Without the juice it's no use. Huh?
COBRA COMMANDER
Citizens of earth, we have diminished the Pyramid's power enough to address you now.
GUNG-HO
Ah, stick your head in a bucket and rust your face off!
COBRA COMMANDER
And here to present our ultimatum, your new supreme leaders, the Crimson Twins.
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(T) All governments must surrender to us (X) and Cobra by the end of the day, (T) or we shall intensify the strength of the Pyramid of Darkness.
ACE
Looks like Cobra Commander's havin' a little power failure of his own.
GUNG-HO
We've got less than seven hours.
ACE
What's that noise?
WILD BILL
Sounds like my pappy's ranch at feedin' time.
GUNG-HO
Open the door and give our visitors the famous Joe welcome.
GUNG-HO
We're saved guys! It's the cow cavalry!
WILD BILL
We thought you were done for!
STALKER
If you had to play cowboys and Cobras, couldn't you have done it on horses?
SHIPWRECK
Very hilarious, but when we hit the Pyramid of Darkness, we had to improvise. Do us a favor, Wild Bill. Milk our ponies and bring us a glass.
WILD BILL
Huh?
GUNG-HO
I'll get you both a drink if you've got somethin' for us.
SHIPWRECK
We got a laser disc from a Cobra factory.
GUNG-HO
How do you play a laser disc with candle power?
EXT. SPACE - SPACE STATION DELTA
TOMAX AND XAMOT (V.O.)

INT. SPACE STATION DELTA - CONTROL ROOM
TOMAX AND XAMOT (CONT.)
You have only until the end of this day to respond.
TORCH
Bravo! Bravo! It's even better in rerun. Want to see it again?
ZARTAN
Under no circumstances.
TORCH
You don't seem so confident without your precious whistle. Take him away!
MUTT
Dusty, we've got to get control of these Fatal Fluffies.
FATAL FLUFFY
No talking!
TORCH
Well, well. Lyin' down on the job again, are you? Get back in line!
MUTT
The whistle that controls the Fatal Fluffies--Torch has it around his neck. (to Junkyard) See that whistle, Junkyard? Go fetch it!
TORCH
No!
MUTT
Good boy, Junk!
TORCH
Get that whistle!
FATAL FLUFFIES
Roar!, Grr!, Die!, Move! Move or be punished!, etc.
DUSTY
The Fatal Fluffies are goin' crazy!
JOES
Yo Joe!
TORCH
Don't hurt us! It was all Zartan's fault! We was always nice to you, wasn't we?

Hey, I distinctly hear the gentle sound of the tables turning.

Yeah! Let the sunshine in!
EXT. HIDDEN COBRA BASE - DAY
INT. COBRA BASE - CONTROL ROOM
COBRA COMMANDER
Calamity most foul! Aghhh! No! No! No! Your selfish bungling has permitted the Joes to undo my exquisite Pyramid of Darkness! You twin twerps! I'm back in command now.
COBRA COMMANDER
Come in, Destro, come in!
COBRA COMMANDER
Stop that, Destro! I see you both clearly and I am stunned!
DESTRO
She, uh, she had something in her eye, Cobra Commander.
COBRA COMMANDER
My eye, she did! Now stop going ga-ga and establish a low-altitude Pyramid of Darkness at once!
DESTRO
As you order, Cobra Commander. Cobra!
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(T) Excellency, we must also take precautions to guard (X) Cobra Temple (T and X) from a sneak attack.
COBRA COMMANDER
Balderdash! This temple is in no danger, because nobody knows where it is. Now get out of my sight!
EXT. USS FLAGG - DAY
FLINT
We've got to treat this as a temporary victory only, unless you guys at Headquarters have something to make it a little more permanent.
SHIPWRECK
This laser disc Snake-Eyes and I borrowed from Cobra has info on the control cubes. Now that we've got power, I can spin this platter. Let's hope it's a hit. I'll patch the computer's image directly to you, Flint.
COMPUTER
Plans and structural elements of robotic self-defense mechanisms. Details of longitudinal alignments systems.
LADY JAYE
Skip past the general diagrams. What we need to know is whether those cubes are vulnerable.
INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - COMMAND CENTER
SHIPWRECK
You got it, Lady.
COMPUTER
...self-destruct mechanism.
SHIPWRECK
Bingo! It's in Cobra Temple.
GUNG-HO

Adm. Ledger, Cobra's rebuilt the Pyramid of Darkness.
EXT. MOUNTAIN PEAK

Excellent, Destro. Then we shall win after all! The world will be ours!
EXT. JOE HEADQUARTERS

BAZOOKA
Too late!
ALPINE
Hold on!
INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - COMMAND CENTER
SHIPWRECK
A Cobra copter!
ALPINE
Sorry to drop in unannounced, but we just happened to fall by the neighborhood.
SHIPWRECK
Well, don't keep us in suspense, Alpine. Why'd you treat us to this open house, and who's the barefooted stranger?
ALPINE
Introducing star of stage and screen, Quick Kick, stuntman extraordinaire.
QUICK KICK

GUNG-HO
You know where Cobra Temple is?
QUICK KICK
Sure. Doesn't everybody?
SHIPWRECK
This is the info we've been waitin' for!
GUNG-HO
The darkness isn't holding.
SHIPWRECK
Then get on the horn and see if you can contact Flint. There's a crack in the Cobra curtain, and we're goin' through it.
JOES
Yo Joe!, Let's go!, etc.
EXT. HIDDEN COBRA BASE - DAY

We'll be outta this darkness in a flash! Then, hammer through that temple and put those cubes out of action!
JOES
Yo Joe!
COBRA COMMANDER
G. I. Joe? But how? Take defensive positions, and fight the enemy to oblivion!
COBRA COMMANDER
Unleash the Cobra Dragon! Terminate the Joes!
SHIPWRECK
No strength!
ROADBLOCK
Got to fight...fight...got to...
COBRA COMMANDER
We've won! Won! Won! Wait until the Cobra Dragon is finished with them. Then clean up the mess. I'll be inside writing my victory speech.
ALPINE
Any suggestion?
BAZOOKA
Yodel?
ALPINE
You gotta be kiddin'!
QUICK KICK
Wait! I got an idea!
QUICK KICK
Now yodel.
ALPINE
This is ridiculous.
QUICK KICK
Come on, let's try it.

What is happening?
COBRA COMMANDER
Stand and fight, you cowards!

COBRA COMMANDER
What do you mean surprise? Why am I always the last one to know?
INT. COBRA BASE - CONTROL ROOM

Something's happening!
DESTRO
Brilliant deduction, Baroness!

All attack groups, this is Joe Leader. Proceed to Enterprise Towers.
INT. ENTERPRISE TOWERS - HANGAR
COBRA COMMANDER
Stop! Our position is deteriorating! Will you acknowledge me? We must flee and save ourselves!
TOMAX AND XAMOT
(T) Relax. (X) We need not retreat. (T) We shall soon activate a weapon which (X) will destroy our enemies (T and X) completely.
COBRA COMMANDER
Weapon?
EXT. ENTERPRISE TOWERS
SHIPWRECK
Enterprise Towers! They're transforming into a gantry and battle rocket! If that ship ever gets up, no force on earth will be able to handle it! We've got to keep it from reaching space.

We didn't mean to double-cross you, Zartan.
TORCH
No, never! Nay, nicht, nein, no!
BUZZER
It was those scuzzy wuzzies. They intimidated us!
BUZZER
Oh, thank you, Zartan! Thank you!
ZARTAN
Oh, get up! Get up, you treacherous toadbellies! If Cobra loses, I alone shall seize the reins of power. And I'll need stooges to do my bidding, even second-rate stooges like you. Now, let's get out of here before we're discovered.

Oh, you won't regret this.

Right. We love bein' your stooges.
