[whines] They got away...
Launchpad[laughs] Can't argue that point, DW! So what do we do next?
"We"? "We" do nothing. I work alone.
LaunchpadBut I could be your sidekick.
Singing cowboys have sidekicks! I rely on me, nobody but me, got that?
Launchpad[grabs Darkwing's leg] Please, please, please, please, please...
[pulls away] Let me make this clear to you: I never want to see you again!
LaunchpadOkay... so do you want my phone number?
[squeaky voice] Launchpad, I've been shrunk!
LaunchpadWhat was that, Darkwing? I can't understand you! [holds Darkwing up to his ear]
[shrieks] I'VE! BEEN! SHRUNK!
LaunchpadWell, gee, DW, I coulda told you that.
[The episode begins during a blackout in St. Canard with police sirens heard in the background. We then find the one responsible for the blackout, a supervillain rat with electric powers, named Megavolt. He is seen taking out a light bulb.]
[first line] Hmm, nice filament. [He puts the light bulb to his case of stolen light bulbs. He then takes out another one and talks to it in a squeaky voice.] We are glad to see you, Megavolt. [normal voice] Oh, thank you, little light. Would you like to come live with me? [squeaky voice as light bulb] Ooh, that would be very nice!
[Darkwing and Launchpad are seen observing the scene from behind.]
LaunchpadNow, that is one four-star wacko.
A wacko named Megavolt. I know him only too well.
[Megavolt steals another light bulb.]
Launchpad[off-screen, to Darkwing] What makes you think he's behind this blackout?
[jumps off Launchpad] Because he's an electric-walking dynamo. He gets a charge out of short-circuiting cities. [takes out his gas gun] Now, stay here, in case he volts, uh, bolts. [He runs off, then hides again.] Slowly, the silent scourge stalks his unsuspecting adversary. [He slowly and quietly sneaks up to Megavolt, but suddenly trips and falls, dropping his gas gun in the process, startling the electric-powered villain.] Ow!
[gasps] Darkwing Duck!
[sarcastically] Aw, did I spoil your shopping spree, Sparky?
[This angers Megavolt as he really hates being called "Sparky".]
[yelling angrily] BOY, I HATE WHEN YOU CALL ME THAT!
[He fires lightning bolts from his plug helmet, zapping Darkwing's gas gun to a crisp while also shocking his hand.]
Ow. [More electric bolts are fired at him, causing him to dodge them by jumping out of harm's way.] Yipe! [He falls off the roof, but his capes catches onto a pole, breaking his fall.] And people wonder why I wear a cape.
[laughing] At last! I get to pull the plug on Darkwing! [He laughs and prepares to finish off Darkwing with another lightning bolt, but his plug sparks, meaning his battery is low.] Oops. Looks like I've got a little power outage. [to Darkwing, tauntingly] Happy landings, Duck!
[He attempts to escape, but Launchpad blocks his way.]
Launchpad[points at Megavolt] Hand over those bulbs, buddy!
What is with you people? Can't a guy have a hobby?!
[Launchpad tries to grab Megavolt from behind, only to get shocked and sent backwards to a metal square wall, screaming in pain. Darkwing climbs back up to the roof and pulls his sidekick out of the metal wall and the two chase after Megavolt in hot pursuit.]
Launchpad[panting] Boy, this guy's a real live wire!
[They rush inside the building.]
Fortunately, we have a psychological advantage.
LaunchpadBecause we’re sane, and he’s not?
No, because Megavolt is afraid of me. I've sent him to the electric chair. Twice. Ready? [He and Launchpad break into the steak knives room.] Hi-ya! [He then screams as he sees steak knives coming at him and his sidekick. He ducks down to dodge them, but Launchpad is pinned to the door.] Nice touch, electromagnetizing steak knives.
Launchpad It sure impressed me!
Maybe you'd better hang back.
LaunchpadNo problem!
[Darkwing continues to chase Megavolt down an escalator.]
You can't run forever!
No, but you can!
[He fires an electric bolt at the escalator with his finger, and it moves faster than its usual speed. Megavolt laughs as Darkwing tries to run as fast as he can to escape, but his cape gets caught in a small hole in the escalator, pulling him in as he screams, then he comes out flattened.]
Lucky my suit is permanent press.
[Megavolt reaches the kitchen and stops running.]
[pants] I feel kinda... [deep voice] ...run down.
[He looks at his battery level in his glove, and seeing that it's very low, he pulls out a plug and plugs it in his chest, and the electronic devices react to it and charge him back up.]
[walks out of blindingly bright room] Launchpad, will you please turn on the lights?
LaunchpadUh... The lights are on, DW.
[crashes into a mannequin] Oh, I see.
LaunchpadWhat do you see?
Nothing. [swallows] Absolutely nothing.
Launchpad, are you reading my comic book?
LaunchpadWho, me?
If it's oil Steelbeak wants, it's oil he'll get.
My people's oil? Are you crazy?
Well, maybe a little manic-depressive on weekends... But I'm sane enough to know that a couple of heroes like us can overcome the likes of F.O.W.L. Launchpad, let's get dangerous!
LaunchpadDid you hear that? He called me a hero!
LaunchpadHey, surf's up, DW dude!
Launchpad, you saved my life!
LaunchpadHeroes are always saving lives; it's what we do. You might want to save the thanking part, though. There's no place to land!
My people thank you, as do I. With heroes like you, the world is a safer place. Goodbye, my champion.
LaunchpadWell...you know, DW here is the real hero...
...Is the luckiest sidekick in the world! 'Bye, Princess. Me and the boss have to be going. Launchpad, I underestimated you. As far as I'm concerned, we're colleagues, brothers in arms.
LaunchpadYou mean it?
I sure do! From now on, we're one hundred percent equals. [pause] Now get the bags.
LaunchpadYou got it, boss.
[Drake fingers the money and begins to laugh crazily]
LaunchpadGee, do you think something's wrong with him?
Nothing a good exorcism wouldn't fix...
[in Gosalyn's body] Is everyone okay?
[in Drake's body; with head stuck in the wall] That was epic! [pulls herself out] Let's do it again!
[in Launchpad's body] I'm okay…sort of.
Launchpad[in Honker's body] Launchpad McQuack all present and accounted for. [coughs] I think. Everything's kind of fuzzy.
Gosalyn, where are you?
Here, Dad.
Gosalyn?
Dad?
[Darkwing and Gosalyn both scream horrifyingly at each after they switched bodies, and so does Launchpad and Honker]
Something must've gone wrong when I bashed that button. Instead of transferring information, I transferred us! [gasps] Trapped in a child's body. How can I battle criminals? Bad guys are really going to take me seriously now.
[Gosalyn and Honker walk out of the house to the garage]
But Gosalyn, we can't go to the movies. Your dad said-
Hey, since when does a kid tell an adult what to do?
But we're not really adults, we just look like adults.
Same difference. Trust me.
B-but you don't know how to drive!
How hard can it be? Adults do it. [gets in the car and Honker gulps worriedly, then drives the car out of control] Piece of cake.
I'm no rocket scientist, but I think it weird that the sun looks stuck. Maybe because it's 10:00 and the sun never set.
Golly, it would mean that something stopped the rotation of the Earth.
With the planet stuck, there's nothing he can keep the temperature regulated.
The city's on fire! It's the blaze of the century! Call the fire department! Call the police! Call my insurance company!
LaunchpadHow about a brownie, DW?
