(Scene II had too much dialog but they cant all be action scenes. Zurgswife was not pleased, this was written before she shared her constructive criticism. The next few scenes are much better. I hope I don't have to fish down three or four pages to find this every time. I hope I have a scene a day till RMDs scheduled return.)

Scene III: WHO IS Q?
At the close of the last scene, our heroes were in a large and very elaborate spy control center. All kinds of strange and violent things are happening to test dummies, so it looked a lot like the pre-show for Test Track, but we are under the UK.
Let me sum up, RMD says, I was attacked by babes in lime green spandex in the opening scene. Bennet couldnt figure out how to do the traditional silhouetted naked dancer opening sequence on a family board so you have the little graphic. Maybe EROS can find something but then we risk a few month triate about censorship so maybe not.
In scene two it took forever to learn what everyone already knew when be heard my theme music: A maniacal megalomaniac threatens global domination by controlling a particular commodity market probably involving rockets and or satellites in space.
"Right. Everyone caught up? Okay. Time for toys. "Where is Q, the much beloved senior statesman of the film series?
Bathroom says M. (M will no longer be M the quotes were a pain - we will still occasionally go for cheap laughs beating the M / Kev / Paul / Klombar thing to death since it is playing well with the test audiance.)
This a family board! We cant show/talk about someone using the bathroom like that! - RMD
No. No. No. Dan, Q is standing next to the bathroom with his trusty Nikon CoolPix. - M
Oh, whos getting their picture taken? - Dan
I think he is still stalking Regis Philbin, even though there is a restraining order, but it will have to wait. A maniacal megalomaniac threatens global domination by controlling a particular commodity market probably involving rockets and or satellites in space." Mshout to Q, "Q can we interrupt?
Sure M! Oh, hello Dan! - Dan
Hi Dan. - Dan
Dan you cant call Dan, Dan or nobody will know who is who. Call him Q - M
Who? - Dan
Q's on first. - Dan
OK I'll call him RMD. - Dan
No not you Dan the other Dan cant call you, Dan. Dan he has to call you Q or we will all be confused. Got it? M
Nope Dan
Yeah Dan
Ok Dan, Dan doesnt get it so can you explain it Im getting nowhere here. - M
Right. Dan, you can call me Dan, but I cant call you Dan, Soon Bennet will give up on this whole damn Dan thing and get on with the story. Dan
OK Dan. Let's get down to spy toys. I still want to get a picture of Regis when he comes out of the can. - Q
Right Q what have you Got Dan
I thought you could call me Dan, but I couldnt call you Dan. Q
No it is the other way around. Dan.
Q pulls out a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) launcher and points it at the directors chair, That will quite enough! Thank you.
Point well taken Dan.. I mean Q! Bennet. I promise! Relax.
Q picks up a big sharpie pen from the table after setting down the RPG, carefully still pointed at your humble narrator. Q gives Bennet another dirty look and says, Okay it is traditional in these things to have some heavy fire power in a writing implement.
In previous movies MontBlanc had a product placement deal but with the cutbacks around here, we are left with a fat sharpie from lost and found. On the plus side it is big so we can stuff in more fire power. He points the pen in the same direction as the RPG, Should I demonstrate?
No need Q Dan, Laser and explosives what type?
Yes. C4. Are you sure you dont need a demonstration? - Q
Yes, What else have you got? - Dan
A refillable mug from you last stay at All Star Music. - Q
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - Dan
Hey that is my line. M says putting his Paul outfit back on.
Groans from Dan, Q fidgets with the RPG.
Anything else? Dan asks trying to distract the irritated Q-manDan.
Well stealthy communications devices are also standard issue. You double O types are so aggressively type A you never use them to call for help but here. Q hands Dan a standard Motorola FSR radios (with sub codes.)
Dan gives it a dirty look.
Listen you are in Disney World. Every other person down here has one of these things. Anything else would look suspicious.
OK Dan looks dejected, like Santa put coal in his stocking.
Now for your ride
Q
Dan perks up, like the before picture in EROS latest botanical photo.
we have outfitted a few special things for you. Your own vehicles for every E ticket ride in every park. Do try not to level the place double O we are just now seeing a recovery in tourist volume. - Q
Cool, Cool, Cool! I cant wait how do they work? Dan
Well when you get a Fast Pass we load the special ride vehicle for you return time. Hell some of these babies dont even need a ride to deliver an E ticket experience
Wait what if I dont use Fast Pass? Like when there is no line on E-ticket night or Early Entry
Hello Routman!?! Where have you been? No Fast Pass? Early Entry?!? E-nite? Q turns and quietly asks M, Can we have him drug tested?
Turning Back to Dan, The usual set of controls, guns, smoke ejector seats, turns into a submarine or personal rotor-craft. You MUST use Fast Pass. One Fast Pass per ticket, used for park entry, at time.
Why are we bothering with all this M? Little green people, an attack from space by maniacal evil megalomaniac, Bennet is writing this, how much more obvious can it be? Q blurtes out adding, Smee CathyCanada? Oh please!
Lets just get this thing done, maybe Dan can get back to the hotel or Ski Lodge or where ever he left Jen before Mom gets back. Heres you first Fast Pass, Ill go load the vehicle. Q hands Dan a Fast Pass ticket and storms off. The ticket reads, Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin Return time 9:00am to 10:00am.
