Lines by McWinkle 1
McWinkle
I have no idea what kind of sick tactics she’s using over there, but this I guarantee: One of you is gonna tell us the name of that collector. The other is gonna be in big trouble in a little cell. Which one do you want to be? Think it over. [starts walking to the door] The freedom of the one-seventeenth of the world’s Chickeraffe population hangs in the balance. So maybe consider that!
Scenes with McWinkle 5
McWinkle
Ma'am, your son...
McWinkle
...is in serious trouble. If you want to help him, tell us where that ferry is going.
KKaren
Why would I help you? You're the BADGUYS.
Darn right, we are! BADGUY proud!
KKaren
Well, then, I'm not telling you anything. You're bad.
[confused] I'm sorry. One more time?
KKaren
[equally confused] You're... bad?
What? Are you kidding me? [laughs] This lady. No, no, no, no, no. [indicates around McWinkle's grey-speckled middle] We're good.
KKaren
But you're the BADGUYS.
KKaren
No! You and that scary fella are the BADGUYS.
And we're good! See? [presents the business card to Karen]
KKaren
This says "BADGUYS".
Exactly. [flips it over to show the writing on the back of the card] It stands for Bureau of Animal Defense Glurfsburg Upper Yipville Section.
That's a surprise. You got it all wrong. Turns out the BADGUYS have been good all along. I wanted to share that with you for the longest time. You have no idea how hard it was for me not to spoil it! Oh!
KKaren
Okay, to be fair, your name is a little misleading.
Gluntz? I get that a lot. It's a family name, shortened from O'Gluntzenburg by my great-great... ...great-great-great-grandfather. No wait. Sorry, scratch that. It was my great-great... ...great-great-great-great...
GGuy
I'm sorry. Wh-whatever you do... please don't hurt me.
[Guy sobs. McWinkle removes his sunglasses and looks at Guy with concern]
McWinkle
Why would we hurt you? We're the good guys.
[Guy abruptly stops crying]
GGuy
Huh? Uh... I-I-I thought you were the BAD GUYS.
GGlutz
We are! But the name is kind of misleading.
[Glutz hands Guy the card. He flips it over to see the words 'Bureau of Animal Defense: Glurfsburg Upper Yipville Section' on the back]
GGuy
But... Sam is a wildlife protector, too... isn't he?
[Mcwinkle opens a file full of Sam-I-Am’s wanted posters]
McWinkle
Sam-I-Am. Aka the Furry Foot Bandit. Aka Flim-Flam-I-Am. Aka Sham Shamford. Aka Dr. Linda Schwartz.
McWinkle
Yes. Your pal is a con man, a crook, a world-class heist-uoso.
GGuy
No! He can’t be. He’s protecting Mr. Jenkins! He told me that we’re taking him to Meepville to keep him safe. [gasps]
McWinkle
And you actually bought that? Think about it. You two have been attached to the hip for days. Did he really seem like a Wildlife Protector to you?
McWinkle
We know the truth. He stole the Chickeraffe to sell to a collector.
McWinkle
Now... My slightly unhinged partner is in the next room with your friend, the Goat.
GGuy
He’s not my friend! [Mcwinkle slams his fist to the table] Oh!
McWinkle
I’m not interested in your social life!
You can take me in but let the Chickeraffe go. I’ve done a lot of scams. [chuckles] I mean, a lot. But this last one was for a good reason: to get Mr. Jenkins home. Please. It’s my one last job.
McWinkle
Well, Sam-I-Am... I’ve got three words for you. Start... the... balloon.
