I N S P E C T O R G A D G E T :: THE MOVIE
This is the way I think the movie SHOULD have been – but I warn you, I really have no idea what's going to happen so I don't know how good it will be! I am trying to keep some scenes and ideas similar to the movie, although I am making Claw a more interesting and less (annoyingly) over-the- top, also I'm giving Penny and Brain a similar task like the show used to, rather than them just sitting around. ;)
----------------------------------------------
"UNCLE JOHN! UNCLE JOHN ARE YOU UP YET?" called Penny from downstairs.
John lay asleep in his bed, his body sprawled out this way and that under and above the blankets.
"UNCLE JOHN! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" called Penny again. John rolled onto his back and opened one eye. John rolled over and looked at the clock on his nightstand; it read 8:20.
"Wowsers! I'm going to be late!" said John as he threw back the covers. John made an attempt to spring out of bed, but ended up rolling off the bed. Penny opened up the bedroom door, "Uncle John, are we going to do this every morning?" penny giggled. John shot his head up off the floor and looked at Penny, "I've been up for hours! Just doing those…you know, stretches!" he said as he quickly put his hand behind his head and pulled with the other, in an attempt to fake a stretch.
"Whatever you say!" Penny giggled again as she pushed off the doorframe and walked down the hall.
"They keep you healthy! Every good cop does them!" shouted John to Penny down the hall.
"Alright Uncle John!" Penny called, obviously not believing him, "just finish your stretches quickly! I made breakfast for us!"
John sat down at the round wooden table in the tiny little kitchen; Penny was giving Brain his dog food and when she finished she walked to the counter and brought to plates to the table. They had eggs, bacon and pancakes on them and they looked great!
"This looks really good Penny!" said John, picking up a fork, "So, how things been going at school lately?"
Penny opened her mouth to answer but at that moment the phone rang.
"Hold that thought." Said John, wiping his face with his napkin as he got up to get the phone.
"Hello?" said John in a cheerful voice into the phone hanging on the wall.
"Uh-huh….uh-huh." Said John, his face turned serious.
Penny and Brain looked at each other at the same time, then Penny looked back at her Uncle John.
"Really? You're serious? That's great!" said John smiling, "-Ahem- I mean, excellent sir, I'm on my way over right now!" and with that, John hung up the phone.
John turned to Penny and gave her a sorry look and said, "That was Chief Quimby on the phone…he said to get over there right away, he has a big case for me!"
"Oh, well…" Penny looked upset, but tried to hide it, "that's ok Uncle John! I'm sure you'll do great! When I get home from school you can tell me all about it." Said Penny, trying to hide her sadness with a smile.
"Thanks Penny, you're the best! I promise I'll make it up to you" said John, putting on a police hat to go with his uniform.
"Bye Penny!" said Uncle John giving Penny a kiss on the forehead as he walked to the door.
"I'm off the fight crime!" said John, swinging in the doorway, when he finished saying that, he flew out the door, slamming it behind him.
Penny and Brain rushed to the window to watch as John struggled to pull open the door of his rusty old car. John jiggled the handle, then put his foot up on the door and pulled with all his might…the door flew open, knocking John onto his back on the grass. John stood up, brushed himself off and got in the car. He slammed the door and started the car; it made a deep rumbling growl as he screeched down the street.
"And to think all this will be mine someday!" Penny said sarcastically to Brain with a sigh as she picked up her backpack and flung it onto her shoulder.
--------------------------------------------------
John ran to the doors of the Riverton police station; he pushed open the doors, knocking a man behind the door down to the floor.
John kept running, but looked behind at the man and said, "S-sorry! It's my first big case!"
Since John wasn't looking, he knocked down a woman holding a pile of papers also.
John didn't stop, but shouted out another "sorry! Really sorry!"
John kept running and just missed a woman with a coffee pot in her hands. Finally he reached Chief Quimby's door; he pulled it open, ran in, then closed the door and backed against it worriedly.
"Trouble John?" asked Quimby, uninterested; he didn't even look up from reading his paper.
"I got here as soon as I could sir! I'm ready for my big case you told me about on the pho-"
"Ah yes! Your big case!" said Quimby, standing up from his desk and putting his arm on John's back, "it's a very dangerous assignment John!"
"Danger's my middle name"
"You're going to have to be quick, slick and unseen!" continued Quimby
"I'm quiet as a mouse Chief!"
"You'll have to slip through the cracks like silly puddy or playdo!"
"I'll be in there like swimwear sir!"
"Great Gadget! Then I think you're ready!"
"Great! What's my big case, sir?" asked John hopefully.
"Well Brown, I'm almost out of coffee and the stuff the Mayor provides us with is absolute garbage! Be a good little man and get me some more!" said Quimby.
"That's funny sir! You must have quite the sense of humor!" said John as he started to laugh.
"Yeah! Yeah, I guess I do!" said Quimby, starting to laugh too.
Quimby suddenly stopped laughing and looked very sober; this made John stop laughing too.
"I wasn't kidding Brown! Now get out there and get me my coffee!" said Quimby angrily.
"Yes Chief" said John solemnly as he headed towards the door.
"Oh and Brown?" started Quimby.
"John looked up hopefully and said, "Yes Chief?"
"Stop wearing that cop outfit! That's only for police officers!"
"B-but I AM a police officer sir! Uphold the law, justice and all that is, um, something, something."
"Brown, stop living in a dream world! You're nothing more than a glorified secretary! Filing and coffee! That's all we need you for!"
John opened the door and walked out, he walked down the hall slowly, but everyone went out of his or her way to avoid his path.
John didn't notice; he was deep in thought. 'I know I could do it if I was just given a chance!' John thought to himself, 'Chief Quimby isn't being fair! I'm going to show him! I'll be the best coffee getter and filer the world has ever seen! Then he'll HAVE to give me a chance!'
By now John was already getting into his car; John slammed the door and drove down the street.
-------------------------------------
::MEANWHILE::
"Ok Dad! Try again! And this time, concentrate really hard." Said Dr. Brenda Bradford, who, along with her father had founded the Gadget project.
"Ok" said Dr. Bradford, "I'll try again."
Dr Bradford closed his eyes, he had a large helmet with all kinds of wires coming out of it; in front of him was a life like foot with wires coming out of it. Dr Bradford opened his eyes…it hadn't moved.
"What were you thinking?" Brenda asked.
"I was thinking that it's way past dinner time! Let's take a break and eat."
"But Dad! We're so close! We can't stop now!" Brenda retorted.
"The gadget project will still be here when we get back!"
"Alright, but I'm placing an order for pickup! One of has to stay with the foot!"
Brenda walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a phone book. Brenda picked up the phone and dialed the local Pizza shop.
Dr. Bradford closed his eyes and hummed to himself…he waved his foot up and down and as he did, the robotic foot moved with him!
Brenda hung up the phone and walked over to her dad, her mouth wide open, "Dad! Dad! Look!"
Dr. Bradford opened his eyes and the foot stopped moving, "What? I don't see anything!" said Dr. Bradford.
"The foot! It moved…what were you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about how much you remind me of your mother!" Dr. Bradford smiled.
"Oh Dad! Do it again!"
"Ok, I'll try!" and Dr. Bradford closed his eyes and hummed again…the foot moved!
"Look!" shouted Brenda; Her father opened his eyes, the foot was moving!
"We did it!" they shouted together in unison, "WE MOVED THE FOOT!"
"That's it! It isn't powered by how hard you think, or what's inside your brain! It's powered by what's inside your heart!" said Brenda triumphantly.
"Can you go pickup that pizza now? I'm starved!"
"Ok Dad, but you keep moving that foot!" Brenda rushed out the door of the laboratory.
Brenda got in her car and drove down the street; meanwhile John was driving his car down that very same street. John was so deep in thought, he wasn't paying attention to the road and he looked up just in time to see Brenda coming towards him in her car. John swerved, but wound up blocking the whole quiet street.
Brenda got out of her car looking quite angry; John got out of his and he couldn't help but stare at Brenda – she was so beautiful!
"Where did you learn to drive?" Brenda asked impatiently.
"At the Riverton driving school – I actually failed the first time, but my second time was much more-"
"I didn't mean it literally!" Brenda snapped.
"Sorry, I always take everything so literally." John said.
"So do I" said Brenda, softening a little, "Listen, I'm sure this was all just a misunderstanding, I'm just really excited about my latest project."
"Project?" John asked curiously.
"Yeah, I'm a scientist! Me and my father made a huge breakthrough on our Gadget project…maybe you've heard of it on the news…"
"You're Dr. Brenda Bradford?" John asked in amazement, "I mean, I saw you on the news…wowsers! You look even prettier in real life!"
"Thanks." Brenda said shyly, pushing a bang off her forehead, "well, I really should be…you know." Brenda motioned towards John's car, sprawled across the street.
"Oh! Oh, right…well, it wall really swell meeting you doctor Bradford!" said John, walking back to his car.
'BEEP BEEP BEEP' a sound was heard from Brenda's purse.
John turned around and walked back towards Brenda, "did you say something?"
"Oh, no…it's just my video watch – me and my father keep in touch using them." Said Brenda, pulling out the watch and pressing a button.
"BRENDA? BRENDA?" it was Dr. Bradford on the screen, but it kept cutting out.
"DAD? Is everything ok?" Brenda asked worriedly.
"Brenda! YOU HAVE TO GET HERE RIGHT AWAY! THERE'S SOMEONE TRYING TO-" then the video watch screen went black.
"Someone's trying to WHAT DAD? WHAT???" Brenda shouted, but the screen stayed black.
"I've got to get back there!" Brenda said, running to her car.
"I'll follow you! I'm a cop! I might be able to help!"
"You're a cop?" Brenda shouted from her car window.
"Well…sort of…" said John, hesitating.
"Oh, whatever! Just come on! We have to get there quick!" Brenda drove away; John followed in his car.
