(ESTABLISHING SHOT: The bridge connecting Animated Adventure and Comic Book Isle. KIM is walking over the bridge and sees RON just ahead; RON appears to be having an argument with himself)

RON: (Straining) Got. to tell. Kim. (In trance, straining) Must. go to. Daredevil ride. (Normal) Come on, dude! No one had even heard of Daredevil until that movie came out. (In trance) Not true, he had a large following. (Normal) Yeah, I'm sure.

(KIM approaches him)

KIM: Ron, I'm glad I found you-

RON: Me too, KP. Something's going on. I think (In trance) don't tell others the plan. (Normal) Dude, cut it out! (In trance) Must go to Daredevil ride.

KIM: Um, are you going to explain or continue with your adaptation of Gollum?

RON: Very funny, KP. (Trance) No time for humor. Must go to Daredevil ride.

KIM: Okay, that's the third time I've heard about the Daredevil ride. What's going on?

RON: (In trance) Must report there and wait. (Normal) I don't know, KP. This girl came up to me, did something and now half of my wants to go to that ride. (In trance) Must go to under-construction Daredevil ride. (Normal) See?

KIM: Okay, I'm gonna call Wade.

(KIM takes her Kimmunicator out of her pocket)

KIM: Wade, what do you know about hypnosis?

WADE: Not much. I can look up whatever you need to know, though.

KIM: Can you find out if partial hypnosis is possible?

WADE: What'dya mean?

KIM: Well, let's say Ron was hypnotized in one eye- would it be possible for him to be half-hypnotized?

WADE: I've never heard of anything like that.

(KIM holds the Kimmunicator towards RON)

RON: (In trance) Must go to ride. (Normal) No- gotta stay with Kim! (In trance) Mistress ordered us. (Normal) What's all this "us" business. I don't want to go anywhere!

(KIM faces the Kimmunicator back towards herself)

WADE: That's weird.

KIM: Any idea how to bring him out of it?

WADE: Nope. I guess you'll have to take him to the Daredevil ride.

KIM: Okay. I'll keep in touch.

(KIM pockets the Kimmunicator)

KIM: So, what's all this about going to the under-construction Daredevil ride?

RON: Ask him. (In trance) Mistress ordered us to go to the under- construction Daredevil ride.

KIM: But why?

RON: (In trance) To await further instructions. (Normal) Please tell me you can snap me out of this, KP.

KIM: Sorry, Ron, I'm not really sure what's going on. Tell you what, let's go to the under-construction ride and see what's going on. I have a feeling whatever it is isn't good.

RON: (In trance) Fine by me. (Normal) Whatever. Think this "Mistress" person can snap me out of it?

KIM: Maybe, but I doubt she's going to do anything to help us.

(KIM and RON walk off)
