Flint! Get back, you predatory vegetable! Man, am I glad to find a friendly face inside this homicidal salad bowl.
FLINT
Nothing stops it, Roadblock. If we quit, they win.
ROADBLOCK
Then, we'd better not poop out. Let go o' my leg, sucker!
FLINT
Something's killing those vines over there.
ROADBLOCK
Sounds like a nice place to visit.
MUTT
Yo Joe, guys! Junkyard and I turned on the jets from our wrecked SkyStriker. These vines don't like it at all.
FLINT
Good. We might just have enough time.
MUTT
Time to do what?
FLINT
To use these parts to get us out of here.
ROADBLOCK
Now you're talkin', baby. Let's do it!
EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - DAY
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - ARENA OF SPORT
COBRA COMMANDER
Welcome to the Cobra Arena of Sport. I can see you're both eager to provide us with amusement.
DESTRO
Gentlemen, I assure you this will be your last battle. I've programmed my neural controllers to force you to fight to the finish.
COBRA COMMANDER
Begin!
DUKE
Snake-Eyes, if we concentrate, we can resist the controllers!
COBRA COMMANDER
Let's hope they fight it out quickly. I am eager to show the world more of the terror that awaits if it defies me!
ZARTAN
Then you've chosen our next target for destruction.
COBRA COMMANDER
Yes. The American capital.
ZARTAN
Excellent.
DUKE
They're going to hit Washington, D.C. We've got to get word to Headquarters.
DUKE
There's enough pure energy in this board to beam a message to Mars. But how will we tap into it?
DUKE
Your utility belt communicator! All we need is an antenna.
DUKE
Good thinking.
DESTRO
Guards, stop them before they escape!
EXT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - DAY
INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - COMMAND CENTER
SPARKS
It's Snake-Eyes. He's using Joe Code Ultra. Next target, Cobra destruction, Washington. Luck, Duke and Snake. The message stops there.
BREAKER
It's enough. Now we know where to make our stand.
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - ARENA OF SPORT
GUARDS
Cobra!
ZARTAN
They sent out a message. I'm sure of it. G. I. Joe will know our target.
COBRA COMMANDER
So much the better. Their helplessness in the face of my power will surely break their spirit!
INT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - COMMAND CENTER
COL. SHARP
The evacuation is proceeding, Scarlett, but there's still no way of knowing how much time we have.
SCARLETT
Well, let's hope there's enough to work out some defense against Cobra's weather control device, Colonel.
COL. SHARP
Good luck, Scarlett.
CLUTCH
Scarlett, that defense you were talkin' about? Doc's got it.
DOC
Only maybe, Clutch. I guess you might call it an energy mirror.
CLUTCH
The mirror part's workin' fine, Doc. I need a shave.
DOC
If it works, it'll absorb, reflect, and redirect energy--like the energy transmitted by Cobra's weather machine. Blowtorch, let's test it out.
BLOWTORCH
Doc, you sure about this bit?
DOC
No, but don't worry. I'm wearing my asbestos underwear. Now hit it.
DOC
That was the absorption phase. Now, let's reflect...and redirect.
BREAKER (O.C.)
It works!
SPARKS (O.C.)
Doc, you're a genius!
SCARLETT (O.C.)
Fantastic!
LADY JAYE
If we can get these energy mirrors to Washington in time, we just might give Cobra a taste of its own reptile medicine.
DOC
Let's move 'em out!
EXT. JOE HEADQUARTERS - DAY
JOES
Yo Joe!
EXT. PIT OF CHAOS - OVERCAST
ROADBLOCK
I scrounged every bit of fuel from those engines. So when they run dry, we'd better hit sky, or it is good-bye forever.
MUTT
It's too wet to kick over.
FLINT
Contact.
MUTT
Hang on, Roadblock. We're liftin' off!
ROADBLOCK
The vine'll pull me down, and you with me!
MUTT
No they won't. Give me your hand and we'll pull our way clear.
FLINT
I'm giving it maximum fuel, but it's a stand-off.
ROADBLOCK
You'll never make it with me on board. I'll fight my way out! Yo Joe!
FLINT
Roadblock!
MUTT
It'll take more than super celery to finish him off...I hope.
FLINT
The ship's coming apart. Hold tight. We can't afford to be spotted.
EXT. DESERT NEAR PIT OF CHAOS - DAY
COBRA
Halt, or I'll fire!
MUTT
Real thoughtful of those jokers to leave their jeep parked with the keys in it.
EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - DAY
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
DESTRO
I protest! I protest most strongly, my dear Cobra Commander! Using the full power of the laser core on Washington could leave us vulnerable to counter-attack.
ZARTAN
Nonsense. There is no possible way for G. I. Joe to resist the Weather Dominator
DESTRO
I will not have my opinions questioned by a penny-ante quick-change artist!
COBRA COMMANDER
What would you have me do with Washington, Destro? Pepper it with spitballs?
DESTRO
No, but using nothing but lightning could b...
COBRA COMMANDER
Give me no buts! Lower the Dominator!
COBRA COMMANDER
Oh, don't sulk, Destro. I'll throw in a tornado before the final lightning strike.
ZARTAN
A brilliant plan, leader!
COBRA COMMANDER
Naturally. I made it, didn't I?
ZARTAN
No, not sunlight!
EXT. PIT OF CHAOS - DAY
ROADBLOCK
Hello, sunshine, what is new? Goodbye, snake vines, you are through! Alright, now let's get outta this hole and start to roll.
EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - WEATHER DOMINATOR
COBRA COMMANDER
Superb. First, Destro, the tornado!
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
COBRA COMMANDER
Blast them, Destro, blast them!
EXT. WASHINGTON
SCARLETT
Hurry! We've got to get those energy mirrors in place before Cobra destroys the city!
STALKER
Hold down those energy mirrors!
SCARLETT
Oh, no! Giant hailstones!
SCARLETT
Gung-Ho, we're taking a pounding!
GUNG-HO
Same here! If you've got any lucky horseshoes, throw 'em this way fast!
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
COBRA COMMANDER
We've got them! G. I. Joe and Washington are lost!
EXT. OCCUPIED DESERT TOWN - COBRA CAFE
FLINT
Let's see if we can find a way to get back to base.
MUTT
I bet the cuisine is fabulous.
INT. COBRA CAFE
CROWBAR RUFFIAN
Nice bunch o' weapons you got. Just what we've been lookin' for.
FLINT
Mutt, visitors.
EYEPATCH RUFFIAN
Just hand over your weapons and nobody gets hurt.
FLINT
(TO MUTT) Could you hear what the man said?
(TO RUFFIAN) Would you please speak up? It's noisy in here.
EYEPATCH RUFFIAN
I said, give us your weap....
MUTT
Anybody else have a problem?
SHIPWRECK (O.C.)
You, uh, don't live around here, do ya? Don't be so nervous. I'm not with Cobra.
FLINT
Then who are you with?
SHIPWRECK
I'm with myself, and anybody who can pay my price. The name's Shipwreck.
FLINT
Why would that interest us?
SHIPWRECK
Because you're not exactly number one on Cobra's sweetheart parade. Now, you wanna pay my fee and get outta here, or hang around and pray for urban renewal?
FLINT
We were wondering if we could trust you, but Junkyard says you're all right.
SHIPWRECK
Thanks, swabby.
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
ZARTAN
Our enemies continue to survive, Cobra Commander.
COBRA COMMANDER
That will stop this instant. Destro, use the full force of the laser core to make lightning at once!
EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - WEATHER DOMINATOR
DESTRO
It is too dangerous, Cobra Commander. There could be dire consequences.
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
COBRA COMMANDER
There will be dire consequences for you if you do not obey my orders! The lightning, Destro. Now!
EXT. WASHINGTON - OVERCAST
GUNG-HO
Holy Toledo, Cleveland, and Cincinnati! Here comes the granddaddy of all lightning bolts! Energy mirror's ready.
GUNG-HO
Coordinate ground defense, now!
DOC
Roger, G. H. The redirection mirror is in position!
SCARLETT
Now, redirect the energy flow! Yo Joe!
UNIDENTIFIED VOICE [Will Ryan?] (O.C.)
It's workin' now, man! It's workin'!
DOC
Yo Joe!
INT. COBRA TEMPLE - COMMAND CENTER
COBRA COMMANDER
Speak up, Destro! I want a report of my triumph!
EXT. COBRA TEMPLE - WEATHER DOMINATOR
DESTRO
My report is...look out!
EXT. SPACE - EARTH ORBIT
EXT. WASHINGTON - OVERCAST
LADY JAYE
I just got a flash from Headquarters. Cobra's weather control gizmo shot into orbit and came down in three pieces.
GUNG-HO
And it's started a chain reaction of crazy weather all over the world!
SCARLETT
Then we've got to get those pieces back together, or the sun may never shine one earth again!
GUNG-HO
Yo Joe!
EXT. OCCUPIED DESERT TOWN - DAY
SHIPWRECK
The one thing Cobra's sensors can't pick up is wind power. All right, let's cast off.
SHIPWRECK
The ocean of the sun, mates.
MUTT
Man, we're really travellin'.
EXT. DESERT - DAY
SHIPWRECK
With a little seafaring luck, we'll have a very boring voyage.
MUTT
No danger of that. Look!
SHIPWRECK
A sandstorm! Batten the hatches!
FLINT
I don't know what that means, but I don't like the sound of it.
SHIPWRECK
Get your sea legs under ya, mates, and lash yourselves to the superstructure! Watch out!
