Le Faux Coupable/The Wrong Culprit Transcript

Editor's Note: This translation was done with Google Translate as a guide. So this is a very poor man's translation and I have only embellished it enough to make it easier to read. If this had made North America; the translation would have been localized to death.

Page 1

(Cut to the Cape Suzette Beach as various dog noses in bathing suits are enjoying the water and sand. In comes a brown panther furry carrying a bag and orange towel wearing a yellow shirt, purple shorts and sandals humming on his way onto the beach. He stops in a spot in the sand and puts the bag and towel down. Khan is at Khan Tower looking at the beach from his binoculars. On the right side is Kit buried in the sand with only his head and feet sticking out as Molly giggles at him. They have a blue bag, green towel, purple skateboard with a yellow top and roller skates.)

Shere Khan: Ah! My, dear President! Punctual to the minute, on every Sunday 9 am to be precise! These people, full of habits, so predictable! {That's it sir, settle down: The show is about to begin!}

Molly Cunningham: Hey, Kit! Here comes Baloo! It made him cuckoo ?!

Kit Cloudkicker: With what? Ears of roosters?! (Head into the sky with the SeaDuck flying a banner that reads: "Do not get robbed: Higher For Hire steals for you!")

Molly: Yahoo! Baloo! Hey, Kit! If Shere Khan saw this, he would not laugh, eh? (Head into the cockpit with Baloo.)

Baloo Von Bruinwald XIII: {I hope that Khan sees this! He must be yellow by now!} (Cut to inside Khan's office at the window with Khan watching on with binoculars.)

Shere Khan: Grrrrrr! But that does not mean yellow laughs the last laugh! I, for myself start laughing now!

Page 2

(Cut to the SeaDuck being chased by three blue CT-37's in the air.)

Narrator: So at the same time ...

Don Karnage: That's it: it is 9:05, guys! At work, men!

Mad Dog/Dumptruck: Okay! (Cut to inside the cockpit with Baloo angry while flying the SeaDuck.)

Baloo: Oh, great! Don Karnage and his pirates ?! What do they still want with me ?! Eh?! But ... they require me to dive toward the beach? Pull over, the ground: I have to jettison the banner! (The panther furry, Kit and Molly watch on in shock on the beach.)

Molly: Well ... What is he doing?

Kit: I do not understand either! Dig me out quickly, Molly! (Cut to Don Karnage's CT-37.)

Don Karnage: Come on, big Baloo: make yourself noticed! (The SeaDuck is forced to fly down and hyperbole forcing the swimmers and beach goers to scatter in various directions panicking like crazy. Kit is on his knees wearing yellow shorts with brown splashes on it, making them blend in with his fur. He will be wearing these throughout this comic by the way.)

Kit: {Wow ?! Either I have too much sand in the ears, or ... I heard more than two engines ?! A ... a ... nut ...?} (A nut lands in the sand in front of Kit and Kit picks it up as Molly notices the brown panther furry with his shirt off running towards the water.)

President: What a small ... stunt !! I give you my word as President of Cape Suzette Air Affairs: When you come down, or crash down, I'll revoke your flying license!

Page 3

(Kit walks over to the president angry as Molly is crying.)

Kit: Wait! You can not do this! Baloo is the only pilot of Higher For Hire! If you remove his license, you ruin the company and you'll destroy Baloo!

Molly: Yes, Kit! I do not want the gentleman to destroy Baloo!

President: "Baloo", "Higher For Hire" ... eh, good, thank you, young man: Here is a survey conducted smoothly!

Kit: But...?! (Kit puts the nut in his pocket and both Kit and Molly walk off stage right fuming as the president is writing down his notes on a notepad.)

Shere Khan: (Watching on with binoculars.) This good president is furious! Excellent! At present, I have the play now. (Cut to the skies with Baloo tackling the CT-37's.)

Baloo: {They're always after me ?! It's not enough for them ?!}

Don Karnage: Come on, guys: It gives this!

Mad Dog/Dumptruck: Okay!

(Cut inside Rebecca Cunningham's office as Rebecca is sitting at her desk with a stack of papers on it not looking thrilled by anything as WildCat is standing in front of the desk.)

Narrator: However, inside the premises of Higher For Hire ...

WildCat Puma: ...this is bad, Miss Cunningham?

Rebecca Cunningham: Judge by yourself, WildCat: To my right, four kilograms of bills to pay ... to my left, zero grams of money coming back to the company! It's good to be the only airline that Khan Industries has not ruined ... not yet ... but at this rate, it is soon the balance of deposit!

WildCat: Make savings! Look, sell my tools! I have my hands again! My teeth, if need be ...!

Rebecca: Oh, WildCat...You're cute, but it would not be enough! (Checks the stack of invoices.) No, what we need, and urgently, is a client ... Or even a miracle! (In comes a shadow of Shere Khan wearing a mask.)

Shere Khan: I hope you will consider me a client ...?

Page 4

(Cut to a path leading to the docks of Higher For Hire as Kit is riding on a skateboard and Molly's riding on roller skates. Kit has a green shirt on now.)

Narrator: However...

Molly: ... More planes, you say? But I only saw Baloo, Kit!

Kit: Me too. However: I am sure there were others ... Three, I think! Ah! We have arrived!

Molly: Mommy! Mommy!

Kit: Miss Cunningham! (Molly takes off her roller skates and Kit is off his skateboard now as WildCat arrives.)

WildCat: One moment, children! The boss is having some difficulty with furious customer!

Kit: WildCat?!

Molly: What happened to you?

WildCat: (WildCat is literally shooting out his teeth from his mouth.) Ah? Oh, that's nothing: I want to get used to shooting the nuts and bolts with my teeth. Very difficult but it'll happen! As the sun turns not around! (I embellished these lines a lot because he's talking gibberish from a literal French to English translation standpoint. Head inside Rebecca's office.)

Narrator: However on the inside ... (Rebecca is reading the contract.)

Shere Khan: Well, Miss Cunningham! It interests you, this work, yes or no?

Rebecca: Yes, sir ... uh, Share Khen, but I'm not sure! According to this contract, you pay us $ 100,000 for delivering this parcel; but, if we fail to deliver it, then it is we who pay you the same amount of money! This is very risky!

Shere Khan: There is no business without risk, Miss Cunningham!

Rebecca: Indeed! And our Baloo is the best pilot ever! Come on, it is official, I'll sign! There you go!

Shere Khan: {Finally! That's it!} (Shere Khan walks out of the office with the contract just as Kit and Molly enter the office. Khan walks off in the distance and takes off his mask with glee.)

Rebecca: So goodbye, Mr. Khen!

Shere Khan: Goodbye, Miss Cunningham!

Molly: Ah, that's us, Kit!

Kit: Miss Cunningham, is Baloo...!

Rebecca: Yes? Well what about "Baloo"? Oh no?! It is not possible?!

Shere Khan: But it is!

Page 5

(Head inside the office as a parcel is on Rebecca's desk while Rebecca, Kit, Molly and WildCat are inside.)

Rebecca: But yet Baloo knows the airline regulations!

WildCat: He had failure in his engines ?! (Again; embellishment on my part since he's making no sense in a direct French to English translation.)

Kit: Impossible, WildCat: Engines you repair never fail! I say he was chased by three invisible planes! (In comes the president with his shirt back on and is wearing red shorts with splashes that disappears a few panels later.)

President: Irrelevant! The truth is that we do not allow an acrobat to make commercial flights, Miss Cunningham! (Everyone is shocked to see him as we cut to Baloo in the cockpit still being chased by three CT-37's.)

Narrator: However...

Baloo: It starts to do well! If they do not it rip my fins now, I'll send them to the cows crashing! (The CT-37's retreat just over Higher For Hire.)

Don Karnage: 4:30: Normally, any rule is ...! They clinched guys! (Baloo is stunned by this.)

Baloo: {And now they go, just like that ?! My plane is changed into a steam iron if I understand something ...!} (Back at the docks in front of the office of Higher For Hire as Rebecca is yelling at the president.)

Narrator: A little after..

Rebecca: I forbid you to accuse Baloo being an acrobat!

Molly: (Listening with her ears.) Listen...Voila! (Kit proceeds to be in a panic as he runs onto the docks, jumps into the motorboat and uses the motorboat to get into position as the SeaDuck is heading straight for him.)

Kit: Baloo! No! Do not land now!

Rebecca: Kit?! What are you doing?! Come back!

Kit: Go back, Baloo! Go back!

Page 6

(The SeaDuck hyperboles and flies away into the sky.)

Kit: Yeah! He understood! (Baloo is in the cockpit as Molly has run into the radio room and it on the radio transmitting to Baloo.)

Molly: Hello, Baloo! Molly here! It is not necessary that you ask, Baloo!

Baloo: I understood, yes! (Kit docks the motorboat and runs towards Rebecca as the president walks off fuming.)

President: Very well! I am going back to the beach for my suntan, but know that we have delegates everywhere: in time soon, your daredevil will arise, its license, it will fly! Without him! (Cut inside the radio room with Molly on the radio.)

Molly: Say, Baloo; What took you on the beach? You scared everyone!

Baloo: So you have not seen Don Karnage and his bags chips forced me to do the Sand Castle Shave ?! (Molly gives Kit the headphones and Kit takes over on the radio.)

Kit: Baloo? It's Kit! Listen: I have heard them on the ground, they were invisible!

Baloo: Invisible?!

WildCat: What do you decide, Miss Cunningham?

Rebecca: I do not know! I do not know! If only Baloo could deliver the package, we would have $ 100,000.

WildCat: (Rebecca grabs the package.) But if he lands imperfectly he lost his ... license! (Again; embellishment is needed since WildCat's speaking isn't making sense as a direct French to English translation.)

Rebecca: No, but ... with the money, I ... I ... could already hire another pilot! While waiting to clear up the case of Baloo's issues with the regulators. You understand?

WildCat: Of course! But the parcel will have to stay here! (Kit grabs the parcel and runs out of the office.)

Kit: No!

Page 7

(Kit skateboards out of the office with Molly watching on.)

Kit: Molly! Tell Baloo to fly near dock number 4! And open all windows!

Molly: Immediately, Kit! (Cut to the SeaDuck coming down towards the dock sideways with the Higher For Hire sign.)

Baloo: Well received, Molly! I'm read ya!

Kit: (Kit reaches the end of the dock with the skateboard.) {You, who pretend to become a pilot one day, this is the time to show that you can hold your own in the air, old Kit!} (Kit jumps over the Higher For Hire sign and throws the package in through the window of the SeaDuck and it lands right in Baloo's lap in the cockpit.)

Baloo: {But ... It's not my birthday yet!} (Cut to a limo driving away as Shere Khan is watching all this with his binoculars.)

Shere Khan: {Yes, good; they have managed to send him the package ?! So what? Following my plan, it is unstoppable!} (Rebecca is fuming on the docks as Kit lands on the docks.)

Kit: And voila, Miss Cunningham: Baloo has the package, and he did not respond back!

Rebecca: You are beyond crazy, Kit! You shouldn't have pulled a crazy stunt like that just to give him a package! As an adult and your guardian, there will be no dessert tonight for you, young man! But as the boss of Higher For Hire, I promise to triple your desserts for the remainder of the year! Thank you, Kit! (Rebecca then hugs him as Kit is completely confused by this.)

Page 8

(Rebecca walks back towards the storage room as WildCat is out as well.)

Rebecca: Although, at present, it is high time to explain everything to Baloo!

WildCat: Oh, la, la! After you, Miss Cunningham... (Cut to inside the storage room with Rebecca on headphones on the radio with WildCat.)

Narrator: And shortly after ...

Baloo: What?! But, that's disgusting! I did nothing wrong, honest!

Rebecca: I believe you, Baloo! We'll talk about it later, but for now, you make sure the package reaches its destination! Okay?

Baloo: Okay! On the package, I read: "Mr. C. Biddon, Smokdemirras island." (A play on "Smoke and Mirrors".) Does this sound familiar to you?

Rebecca: Not at all! WildCat, search on our maps. Make it quick! (Baloo checks a torn up map.)

Baloo: Well ... I have two: one that is eaten with worms, and the other is stained! (Head outside the docks as Molly has changed back into her regular clothes while Kit is still wearing shorts and is fuming while kicking a can in the process.)

Narrator: However...

Molly: Say, Kit! You want give me a bit of your triple desserts?

Kit: Pffft! Tonight we were having crepes! It's not even fair, first ... (Kit then checks his pocket and finds the nut.)

Molly: What is it?

Kit: The nut that I found on the beach. It fall from the SeaDuck!

Molly: Perhaps this is serious? Let's ask WildCat! (Kit runs into WildCat's office as WildCat is bringing out a wrench from the drawers.)

Kit: Look at this WildCat: Baloo lost this off the SeaDuck just now! Is this dangerous for him?

WildCat: Show me it, Kit. (Kit gives him the nut.) It is an oil tank nut ... but not that of the SeaDuck.

Page 9

WildCat: Nevertheless: whoever lost this will lose all its oil ... and it crashes after that! (Kit is pondering this over as WildCat looks at the nut.) Ohhhh! This is outrageous: Someone forgot to tighten the poor nut! The mechanic who made this is an idiot! (Again; I had to embellish what he said since WildCat's accent is to change his C's and S's to F's at random.) Courage, my little one: WildCat will fix you up!

Kit: {So I was right: There were other planes that were chasing Baloo!} (Kit walks out of the office and Molly follows him.)

Molly: I'm coming with you!

Kit: Uh, I'm only taking a walk.

Molly: And if you say no, I'll scream for my mom right now and you can no longer spin on your skateboard anymore. So let's go, yes? (Kit is not amused as we head outside the Cape Suzette Beach area with Kit on his skateboard and Molly on roller skates.)

Narrator: A little after...

Molly: Say, Kit: What are we looking for?

Kit: Traces of oil. (Molly turns in the opposite direction and notices something.)

Molly: Ah? And it looks like what?

Kit: Well ... A melted chocolate, I would say ... but not good.

Molly: Eeek! I think I found it, Kit!

Kit: Yes! That's it!

Molly: You see! And you did not even want me to come along ?! {Slurp? Ewww!} (Kit and Molly notices splashes of oil on the sand. They follow the trail.)

Page 10

(Until they reach a brick wall. Kit and Molly climb up the wall and leave their skateboard and roller skates behind. The sign reads Khan Industries: Forbidden entry.)

Narrator: Shortly after, on the outskirts of Cape Suzette ...

Molly: "Forbidden", it means that if we do it anyway, we are deprived of dessert ...?

Kit: I do not care: I have nothing to lose! (Kit and Molly climb over the brick wall and whisper to each other.) Attention Molly! There are a few people!

Molly: It looks like ... Don Karnage!

Kit: And Shere Khan? (Kit and Molly hide behind the bushes as they watch Khan talking to Don Karnage and Mad Dog on the grass next to a blue CT-37.)

Shere Khan: Karnage my dear, I congratulate you: you have been ... perfect!

Don Karnage: Oh, it was my pleasure, dear Khan! I, on the handle of my plane, do what I want! It's a gift! No one can compare to me! It's like picking his teeth with a cutlass!

Shere Khan: {Ugh!} (Don Karnage's puts the cutlass in his teeth and screams off-screen as he cut himself and then is bandages his entire head in the process by Mad Dog. This causes Kit and Molly to giggle in the bushes.)

Don Karnage: AIIIIIEEEEE! I cut myself! I cut myself! Mad Dog, Save your ever loving capitan!

Mad Dog: I'll make you a bandage! Do not move! You can move now!

Don Karnage: Where was I?

Shere Khan: You were talking about your "gifts"!

Don Karnage: Oh yes. But I confess that the idea of taking our planes in blue sky so that they are invisible from the ground, it's your idea, Khan!

Shere Khan: It's really true!

Kit: {I knew it!; They're compelling Baloo to commit violation of regulations so he is forced to withdraw his license!}

Page 11

(Suddenly, we see Dumptruck coming out dizzy as he crashed his plane and that plane is leaking oil like crazy.)

Shere Khan: But tell me: What happened to his plane?

Don Karnage: Dumptruck? He says he has lost all its oil!

Mad Dog: So, necessarily, he has turned sour!

Shere Khan: my boy, your sacrifice was not in vain!

Dumptruck: Ah, right?

Don Karnage: You be sure that "Higher For Hire" is no longer in any condition to compete with you?

Shere Khan: Not just that, because, henceforth, the skies of Cape Suzette are finally mine! I'll have my monopoly! I can charge prices that will please me! Hon hon hon! And with what? Ha-ha-ha! As we speak, their only pilot goes to the edge of their only package to a destination he can never come back ... because it does not exist! HA HA HA!

Kit: You understand, Molly? This whole thing is Khan's conspiracy plan against your mother ...!

Molly: (Starts crying her eyes out.) Oh, no! I do not want Khan, that monster against my Momma!

Kit: Molly, no! Too late! (The heels notice Molly's crying.)

Page 12

(Kit and Molly hide inside a Mario-equse grey pipe as the heels look around the area, finding nothing.)

Mad Dog: I did not find anything. Have you?

Shere Khan: Neither do I! I do not see anything.

Don Karnage: It's like me!

Dumptruck: It's your bandage slipped!

Don Karnage: So uh, Rebecca Cunningham is trapped ?!

Shere Khan: It's the least we can say, yes! For not only the address or route of the package is pure invention on my part but, in addition, Baloo cannot go anywhere to refuel without losing his license as soon as he lands! So there is nothing to worry about... and the SeaDuck will eventually land somewhere at sea! I will then claim from Miss Cunningham's $ 100,000 under the contract and as it has not the first penny, the company goes out of business! (Kit and Molly run away stage left.)

Don Karnage: Khan, you are Machiavellian!

Shere Khan: And you flatter me, Karnage! (Cut to inside the cockpit of the SeaDuck with Baloo on the transmitter.)

Narrator: However...

Baloo: Sorry, Can you repeat that, Becky? I do not understand! (Cut back to the radio room with Rebecca on headset with WildCat with his map.)

Rebecca: I just confirmed it, Baloo: The "Island of Smok-Deumiror" it does not exist! Ditto for "Mr. C. Biddon" I'm afraid! (Baloo gets sweaty and dizzy.)

Baloo: So, bad news for bad news, I have one for you too, Becky. There remains roughly as much kerosene in the tanks as there are dollars in the bank account of "Higher For Hire!" Whoever would take back my license, is going to have to get wet!

Page 13

(Baloo is in the cockpit with the package in his hands.)

Rebecca: Well, uh, keep cool! Let's see ... what is in this package? Open it, Baloo!

Baloo: Okay, Rebecca. (Baloo opens the package and notices that it's a jack-in-the-box with a figure of Shere Khan in it. Baloo is shocked.) OH?!

Rebecca: Baloo?! What's the matter?!

Baloo: Shere Khan, Becky! Your client, I think it was ... Shere Khan! (Rebecca then gets a double take and realizes the face of Share Khen is merely a mask for Shere Khan.)

Rebecca: OH!

Baloo: (Turns the SeaDuck around and returns to Cape Suzette.) I'm going back! {Finally!} (Cut into the radio room with Molly and Kit running in.)

Molly: Mommy! Mommy!

Kit: It's Shere Khan, Miss Cunningham!

Rebecca: I know, children...

Narrator: So began an radio conversation, long and painful ... (The headphones are put on the table near the radio.)

Rebecca: Are you okay, Baloo?

Baloo: (The SeaDuck is flying straight for Khan Tower over Cape Suzette beach.) Well, as I'm losing altitude and hitting the tower is going to be fatal, I'm going to "crash"! But I will not be the only one, as I crash myself north of the beach full of people! {Thousand loops, Baloo, pull the handle up! Think of Shere Khan! Shere Khan...Shere Khan.}

Page 14

(Baloo pulls up from the beach and heads straight for the window office on top of Khan tower. We cut to inside Khan's office as Khan is in front of the mirror admiring himself while having some wine in a glass.)

Shere Khan: I toast my glass to the master of everything that flies over Cape Suzette!

Baloo: SHERE KH-KH-KH-KHAN! (Baloo flies through the window of Khan's office and parks right inside. He jumps out of the SeaDuck as Khan turns around, holding the Khan-in-the-box.) Hi, Shere Khan ... Or, should I say, "Share Khen"! I suppose that "one of you" recognizes this! (Baloo grabs Khan by his coat.) Khan! I very much, want to throw you out the window to see if you hover as well as you fly!

Shere Khan: I protest! There is no proof! (In comes Rebecca, Kit and Molly.)

Rebecca: I can do even better, Khan: Two witnesses heard you boast of your combine with your accomplices!

Shere Khan: Ugh! More is needed to convince a judge!

Rebecca: Think again: everybody knows, "the truth comes from the mouths of children!" Show him!

Kit/Molly: You are a dirty old man!

Rebecca: Ah! You see!

Page 15

(Back at Khan's office as Khan is at his desk writing down on some papers.)

Narrator: A little later...

Rebecca: No, "on the balance", "Higher For Hire" does not conspire against you! Let's settle this between business persons.

Kit: It will be $100,000! Plus the repair costs of the SeaDuck!

Shere Khan: Hmm! You accept personal cheques ?! (Baloo shows off his license and is in tears.)

Baloo: This will not give me my license! Farewell, little piece of paper ... I'll miss you you know!

Shere Khan: Oh, uh ... Khan Industries subsidizes airline business 99% ... I should be able to arrange to get your license back. (Everyone is shocked. We head back to the docks of Higher For Hire as Baloo is flying away from the docks with a banner that reads "Do not get stolen by Khan Industries: Higher For Hire steals for you!". Kit, Rebecca, Molly and WildCat are standing on the dock in front of the HFH sign.)

Narrator: The next day...

Rebecca: I think Khan was a good loser!

Kit: And when he sees this sign, Khan will feel really icky!

WildCat: This is true, but the prison and feelings he jails will hurt him most, Molly. (Again; I embellished this line. Cut to Khan's office and inside as Khan is in his bed as a brown dog furry in doctor's gear is attending to him. The SeaDuck is flying in the background with the banner in shadow.)

Shere Khan: So, Doctor? It's serious? What do I have, exactly?

Dog Doctor: Jaundice, Mr. Khan! Frankly, a character in your position ... what may well put you in such states?!
