And this is Top Grunge, Carmen Sandiego's festering farrago of filth.
(singing) Top Grunge
His last known whereabouts: West Point on New York's Hudson River. The U.S. Military Academy was founded here in 1802. Among its nearly 50,000 graduates, presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Students are called cadets and after graduation, they become second lieutenants in the U.S. Army. The first graduating class consisted of ten men. Nowadays, more than 900 men and women graduate each year. Or they did until today when Top Grunge rode into formation. Dreaming his dreams of military glory, Grunge hopped on his chopper and heisted the whole academy. Gumshoes, you've got to clean up this...
(singing) Woo-woo-ooo-oo
...OFFICERS' MESS!
Greg, you'd better come into my office.
Yeah, Chief. I'll be right there. You guys, if you'll excuse me for just a moment. The Chief obviously is a need of me. (enters the office, where the Chief has ping-pong balls on her desk) What's up, Chief?
Uh, Greg, something weird is going on. I can't explain it, but a certain thing happens whenever anybody says Carmen's last name, so from now on, it's just Carmen.
Okay. Okay. Don't worry, Chief, I won't say "Carmen Sandiego".
(ping-pong balls fall from the ceiling onto the Chief)
Thanks, Greg. I knew I could count on you.
I'm sorry. Never again. I promise. I won't say "Carmen Sandi... armpit." Carmen Sandieggsalad. Carmen Sandielephant.
Oh, for goodness sake, Greg! I keep thinking you're about to say "Carmen Sandiego".
(ping-pong balls fall)
Uh, uh, Chief, do you think maybe this is maybe a good time for the home viewer contest?
Yes.
'Kay.
(Greg and the Chief do the contest rules)
Great. See ya later. (exits the office, but the Chief stops him)
Uh, Greg. Greg, one more thing.
Mm-hmm?
You-- You know the squeak in my chair.
Oh, yeah.
I wonder if you could just check it out for me.
Squeak in a chair? All right. (sits down)
Right there. (to the ceiling) Carmen Sandiego!
(nothing happens)
Nope. No squeak that I could find. I gotta get back to work. See ya. (exits the office)
(the Chief sits back down at her desk and the ping-pong balls fall again)
(Greg returns to HQ and looks up at the ceiling to see if ping-pong balls would fall, but they don't until one does when Greg leaves for the Phone Tap)
