THIS IS THE CITY OF ST. CANARD.
LIKE ANY OTHER METROPOLIS,
IT HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT.
ANOTHER ORDER OF DASTARDLY DELINQUENTS
DEPOSITED ON YOUR DOORSTEP, COURTESY OF DARKWING DUCK.
TWO WORDS, CAPITAL Ds.
FOR MORE PHOTOS, MY NUMBER'S ON THE CARD.
I MUST GO.
THE SCENT OF CRIME IS IN THE AIR.
WHERE'S THE PRESS?
WHERE'S THE MEDIA GLUT?
WHERE'S THE ACTION NEWS VAN?
AND I SPENT ALL AFTERNOON IRONING THIS CAPE.
YES!
ANOTHER NIGHT CLEANSED OF ITS CRIMINAL ELEMENT,
THANKS TO DARKWING DUCK!
AHH, I CAN'T WAIT
TO HIT THE HAY.
BUT FIRST, A BIT OF...
BREAKFAST.
ALL RIGHTY. STAY SHARP,
STAY FIXED. STAY FED.
GO.
YA! HEE! HOO!
UH!
WHEW!
OUCH!
[BLOWS ON HAND]
YES. A NEW WORLD'S RECORD.
EVERYTHING A CHAMPION NEEDS FOR BREAKFAST...
EXCEPT THE MILK.
I ALWAYS FORGET THE MILK.
WHOO! WELL, MAYBE I'LL JUST SKIP BREAKFAST THIS ONCE.
SO I MAKE MISTAKES.
THERE'S NO PUNK IN THIS CITY
THAT ISN'T AFRAID OF DARKWING DUCK.
AHH! I JUST WISH I COULD GET A SHOT
AT A REALLY BIG-TIME CRIMINAL.
LET ME UNDERSTAND THIS, HAMMERHEAD.
YOU AND YOUR ASSOCIATES ARE QUESTIONING MY PLANS?
GEE, BOSS, NO. SORT OF.
WE WERE WONDERING
IF WE COULDN'T WAIT TILL THE TRAIN STOPS
TO STEAL THE RAMROD.
WHEN THE ARMY TAKES CONTROL OF THE WEAPON
WITH ITS TANKS AND JEEPS AND GUARDS?
WE DIDN'T THINK OF THAT.
WHY DIDN'T YOU THINK OF THAT?
BECAUSE I AM THE BRAIN, AND YOU'RE THE STOOGE.
I'M A STOOGE. JUST CALL ME CURLY.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME THE RAMROD HAS BEEN MOVED
SINCE WADDLEMEYER'S DEATH.
ONCE THE ARMY HAS IT,
I MAY NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE!
I WON'T BE PUT OFF BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID!
WARDEN.
THAT NUISANCE. VERY WELL.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
DON'T COME BACK WITHOUT THE RAMROD.
WELL, TAURUS BULLBA.
I TRUST YOU'RE STILL ENJOYING YOUR STAY
IN PRISON?
IT'S PEACEFUL. NO ONE BOTHERS ME.
ACTUALLY, IT SUITS MY BUSINESS NEEDS PERFECTLY.
AS TWILIGHT SHADOWS CREEP BY,
THE LONE FIGURE OF DARKWING DUCK
SCANS THE CITY FOR EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING,
CATCHING SIGHT OF... AN EAGLE?
MORE PRECISELY, A CONDOR.
I KNOW BIRDS TRAVEL SOUTH,
BUT THIS IS THE FIRST WITH LUGGAGE.
THIS FEATHERY INTRIGUE
IS BEST INVESTIGATED BY DARKWING DUCK.
[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS]
AAH!
OOH! AAH! OW!
[SAWING]
HEY, HAMMERHEAD, AIN'T WE CUTE IN OUR SOLDIER SUITS?
YEAH. TWO FIVE-STAR GENERALS.
JUST WATCH FOR TROUBLE.
HMM. THIS SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD.
I HOPE THIS PEASHOOTER IS WORTH ALL THE TROUBLE.
WHERE'S THAT STUPID BIRD?
AAH!
YOU LOUSY PIGEON! I'M GOING TO...
HAMMERHEAD!
IS THE WADDLEMEYER RAMROD SECURE?
LIKE A BABY.
EXCELLENT. PROCEED WITH THE PLAN.
HA HA! EXCELLENT. EXCELLENT.
I'VE G-GOT TO SEE ABOUT G-GETTING NEW SHOCKS.
ONE SIDE, C-CONDUCTOR P-PERSON.
YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE.
THAT'S TOP SECRET.
NO WORRY. JUST CHECKING OUT
AN UNAUTHORIZED BIRD BOARDING.
HOOF AND MOUTH WORK FOR TAURUS BULLBA!
BULLBA'S BIG.
IT'S MY SHOT AT BIG-TIME CRIME BUSTING...
WHAT DARKWING DUCK WAS BORN FOR.
I AM THE TERROR THAT FLAPS IN THE NIGHT.
I AM THE SWITCH THAT DERAILS YOUR TRAIN.
I AM DARKWING
DU... [GULP]
IS HE DEAD? HE MUST BE DEAD.
SORRY. I'M FINE,
BUT YOU'RE TAKING A TURN FOR THE WORSE.
I'LL GIVE POLICE MORE THAN DESCRIPTIONS.
PHOTOS?
YOU'LL NEVER GET A GOOD SHOT THERE.
GO AHEAD. TAKE IT.
HOW'S THIS? NOT TOO PRETENTIOUS, I HOPE.
I HAVE TO WORK, BUT GET COPIES
TO ALL THE MAJOR DAILIES.
WELL, PASTE THIS IN YOUR SCRAPBOOK.
OH, THAT'S GOING TO LEAVE A MARK.
YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE.
RUN ALONG TO YOUR COSTUME PARTY.
YOU CAN'T GET RID OF DARKWING DUCK EASILY.
AAH!
WHO'S THIS CLOWN?
HE'S NOT. ONE OF MINE.
TANTALUS, TAKE CARE OF HIM.
[BIRD SCREECHES]
HEY, HEY! WAIT A MINUTE.
AAH!
OOH... OOH.
BRUISED... BATTERED...
BUT NEVER DEFEATED.
DARKWING DUCK SPRINGS BACK TO ACTION.
CLEVER OF ME TO USE MY SPINE
TO BREAK MY FALL LIKE THAT.
HOLD IT, YOU PIRATE.
NO, I'M...
NOBODY BUT NOBODY
MESSES WITH THE AIRPLANES IN MY HANGAR,
OR MY NAME ISN'T LAUNCHPAD McQUACK.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'M NOT A THIEF. I'M...
DARKWING DUCK!
YOU KNOW ME?
I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!
A FAN? REALLY?
AHEM... I MEAN, REALLY?
SURE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
JUST ANOTHER STOPOVER IN MY NEVER-ENDING FIGHT AGAINST...
YOU'RE A PILOT!
WE'LL CAN USE THIS PLANE!
I GOT SOMETHING A LOT BETTER.
NO TIME. WE HAVE EVILDOERS TO THWART.
IN THE NEXT HANGAR...
NO, FAN. I'LL GIVE YOU MY AUTOGRAPH.
I'M HERE FOR YOU, D.W.
THAT'S DARKWING DU... AAH!
I COULD BE YOUR SIDEKICK.
I GOT A SCRAPBOOK OF YOUR NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS.
IT'S NOT A BIG SCRAPBOOK.
SHOULDN'T WE FACE THE OTHER WAY?
YEAH. SORRY. I SOMETIMES HAVE TROUBLE WITH THAT.
IT'S RIGHT UNDER US. CAN WE GO LOWER?
NO PROBLEMO.
AAH!
GOSH... THANKS.
HEY. I AIM TO PLEASE.
IT'S THAT COSTUMED MEDDLER AGAIN. GET RID OF HIM.
O.K., I'M HERE.
HOW TO TURN THIS THING AROUND?
ALL RIGHT, BEAKFACE, THIS IS GETTING MONOTONOUS.
YOU'D BETTER... AAH!
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I LIKE MONOTONY.
WHOO OOH AAH!
I'M COMING, D.W.
AAH!
LOOKS LIKE BIRDY IS COMING BACK FOR SECONDS.
I'LL SHAKE HIM, D.W.
THAT'S DARKWING...
ING... ING... ING!
DO HOO!
HA AAH!
AAH HA HA HA!
AAH!
LAUNCHPAD!
THEY... THEY GOT AWAY.
CAN'T ARGUE. WHAT DO WE DO NEXT?
WE?WE DO NOTHING.
I WORK ALONE.
BUT I COULD BE YOUR SIDEKICK.
SINGING COWBOYS HAVE SIDEKICKS.
I RELY ON ME. GOT THAT?
OH, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE..
I'LL MAKE THIS CLEAR...
I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, EVER!
O.K. SO, UH...
DO YOU WANT MY PHONE NUMBER?
[BUZZER]
DOING AN HONEST DAY'S WORK
MUST BE A NEW EXPERIENCE, BULLBA.
MAYBE YOU'LL GET TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR...
IN 99 YEARS OR SO.
WOULDN'T MIND POUNDING THAT PINHEAD.
IGNORE HIM.
SUCH PETTY ANNOYANCES WILL DISAPPEAR
ONCE I USE THE RAMROD.
OH, JEEPERS. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
LET'S FIRE IT UP, HIT SOME BANKS.
IT'S USELESS WITHOUT THE ARMING CODE.
SOMEONE ARRANGED AN ACCIDENT
FOR PROFESSOR WADDLEMEYER LAST YEAR
BEFORE I COULD LEARN IT.
IDIOTS! I TOLD YOU...
GO TO THE ST. CANARD ORPHANAGE
AND GET HIS GRANDDAUGHTER.
SHE WAS PRACTICALLY RAISED IN HIS LAB.
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE CODE, SHE DOES.
UH, B-BU...
AFTER WE GET THE CODE
THEN SHE'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT LIKE HER GRANDFATHER.
I TRUST YOU'LL GET THE ORDER RIGHT THIS TIME.
NO PROBLEM.
CODE FIRST, THEN ACCIDENT.
MM-HMM. THIS IS GOSALYN WADDLEMEYER.
YOU WILLINGLY CAME TO VISIT HER?
I'M A FAMILY FRIEND. I'M IN THE BACKGROUND.
IT LOOKS LIKE A GRAPE JELLY STAIN.
THOSE ARE... TEAR STAINS.
WHERE IS THE CUPCAKE?
THE CUPCAKE IS OUTSIDE PLAYING...
AAH!
COMING THROUGH. ALL RIGHT.
PLAY IT WHERE IT LAYS.
OUCH!
GOAL!
I'M IN A GAME. CAN'T CHAT NOW.
JUST PARK IT!
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A PIG.
PIG?
I MEANT BIG, AS IN BIG OF YOU
TO TAKE AN INTEREST IN ME.
WE'LL TALK LATER.
MR. HANNIGAN, HERE, CLAIMS TO HAVE KNOWN YOUR GRANDFATHER.
YOU KNEW GRANDPA?
SURE. THAT'S ME IN THE BACKGROUND.
IT LOOKS LIKE GRAPE JELLY.
LET'S WALK AROUND AND TALK ABOUT YOUR GRANDDAD.
CAN I?
I SUPPOSE IT'S ALL RIGHT...
IF YOU STAY ON THE ORPHANAGE GROUNDS.
GREAT.
EUGENE, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT A PIG?
AFTER MOM AND DAD DIED,
GRANDPA WAS THE ONLY FAMILY I HAD.
BUT I'VE MADE FRIENDS HERE. IT'S NOT BAD...
UNTIL ADOPTION DAY.
I'M ALWAYS SAYING GOODBY TO SOMEONE.
I'M NOT A PROBLEM CHILD!
GRANDPA SAID I HAVE LOTS OF SPIRIT.
HE SAID WHEN YOU HAVE SPIRIT, OTHERS LOOK EMPTY.
SOMEDAY I'LL MEET SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS.
THEN I'LL BE ADOPTED.
TECHNICALLY SPEAKING,
AREN'T THE ORPHANAGE GROUNDS
ON THE OTHER SIDE?
I THOUGHT WE'D GO FOR A RIDE.
I'M OUT OF HERE!
TAURUS BULLBA WANTS TO TALK WITH YOU.
HERE'S A MESSAGE FOR HIM.
HA!
NOBODY KIDNAPS GOSALYN WADDLEMEYER.
NEVER FEAR, MISS, DARKWING DUCK HAS YOU NOW.
I'M NOT ONE OF THE BAD GUYS!
YEAH, RIGHT! WITH A MASK.
YOU'RE CONVINCED NOW? STAY DOWN.
I HAVE A SURPRISE.
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
WHAT ELSE DOES IT DO?
WHY? DON'T TOUCH!
I'LL SHOW HIM.
EVERY HERO NEEDS A SIDEKICK.
BUT HOW AM I GOING TO FIND D.W.?
AAH!
HANDY.
HANG ON, D.W.
WHAT'S THE RUSH? YIPES!
YOU'LL BE SAFE WITH THE POLICE.
HE'S ATTACKING. FIRE!
I FEEL REAL SAFE NOW.
B-BUT I...
HOW DID YOU MAKE THOSE GUYS MAD?
NOTHING.
HOW ABOUT ROBBING A TRAIN?
WHAT? NOT A BAD PICTURE.
DOES IT LOOK PRETENTIOUS?
DRASTIC TIMES MEANS DRASTIC ACTION.
CAN YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH?
DON'T DO IT. IT'S A DEAD END.
WHOA!
NICE TRICK, D.W.
THAT'S ONE WAY TO LOSE THOSE BAD GUYS.
D.W.? ER, LITTLE GIRL? ANYBODY?
THE BOSS WON'T LIKE THIS.
WOW, A POLICE CHASE WITH BULLETS AND CROOKS.
IT BEATS STUDY HALL AT THE ORPHANAGE.
YOUR DAYS ARE LIKE THIS?
NO, I'M USUALLY SLEEPING.
BUT AFTER LEARNING PROFESSOR WADDLEMEYER HAD A GRANDDAUGHTER,
I HAD TO REACH YOU BEFORE BULLBA.
WHO IS HE?
A CLEVER CRIMINAL MASTERMIND
WHO, I'M CONVINCED, IS STILL OPERATING HIS GANGS
FROM INSIDE PRISON.
LIKE THE COMICS. ARE YOU GUYS ETERNAL ENEMIES?
AHEM... WELL... ACTUALLY, HE DOESN'T KNOW I EXIST.
BUT HE SOON WILL. MARK MY WORDS.
KEEN GEAR!
WHAT A HIDEOUT.
OH, YES, IT'S JUST A LITTLE SHACK
I LIKE TO CALL HOME.
WE HAVE TO FIND YOU A SAFE PLACE TO STAY.
CAN'T I STAY HERE? WE'RE A GREAT TEAM.
I AM NOT A TEAM.
I'M SORRY, BUT... DON'T TOUCH THAT!
LITTLE THINGS LIKE THAT TEND TO CRAMP MY STYLE.
WHERE'S MY PHONE BOOK? I'LL FIND YOU A HOTEL.
OR THE ANIMAL SHELTER.
I COULD LEAVE, BUT I MIGHT LET IT SLIP
WHERE A CERTAIN MASKED AVENGER HANGS OUT.
YOU WOULDN'T!
I'M A KID... IRRESPONSIBLE.
OOH...
LIKE I SAID,
IT'S DANGEROUS OUT THERE. YOU SHOULD STAY CLOSE.
THANKS, DARKWING.
YEAH, RIGHT.
WE DIDN'T KNOW THE DUCK WOULD OFF HIMSELF
AND THE KID.
IT WASN'T OUR FAULT.
IT WAS THEIR FAULT.
THAT CLOWN IS TOO CONCERNED ABOUT HIS IMAGE
TO KILL A LITTLE GIRL.
HE HAS HER HIDDEN.
WE DRAW HIM OUT AND GET HER.
CLOVIS, IF THE RAMROD IS SECURED,
WE'LL SAY GOODBY TO THE WARDEN.
RIGHT AWAY.
OH, IT'S TIME FOR MY AFTERNOON GLOAT
OVER TAURUS BULLBA.
W-WHAT'S THAT?
AAH! AAH!
HE'S BEEN MAKING MORE THAN LICENSE PLATES.
IT'S A SHAME TO LOSE A HIDEOUT
AS PERFECT AS A PRISON, BUT ALL THINGS MUST END.
HA HA. TIME OFF FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR, INDEED.
CLOVIS, TAKE US DOWNTOWN.
IT'S TIME I MET THIS DARKWING DUCK.
