Page 1

Panel one: Inside a coffee house, Starbucks Style, Julie sits at a round table alone. She is looking down at her cup of coffee.

Panel two: Julie is now holding the cup up looking at it closely, as if she were examining it for greater meaning. A waiter walks over to her.

Panel three: The waiter, a young strapping lad with spiky blond highlights and dazzling blue eyes, bends slightly forward.

Waiter: Miss, Is something the matter?

Panel four: Julie looks up at the young man with an all too serious face.

Julie: Itfs like a juxtaposition of an oxymoron, or some other kind of shit.

Waiter: Pardon me miss?

Panel five: Julie stands up and walks to the counter with the cash register.

Julie: It doesnft make sense. You know? A beautiful boy like you, a nice place like this, and what do you go and do? You serve the best cup of garbage in this god-forsaken town.

Page 2

Panel one: Julie walks out the front door, without paying. From inside, the waiter shouts out to her.

Waiter (OP): Wait, miss, you forgot to pay!

Panel two: The waiter appears in the doorway just as Julie pushes back her jacket to show her two 9MM guns holstered snuggly, one under each arm.

Waiter: Holly shit!

Julie: Donft wet yourself kid, Ifm a cop, but still I ainft paying. Unless, of course, you want to be arrested for assaulting an officer with that piss poor shit you pass off as coffee.

Panel three: Julie starts to walk down the street in a huff. The waiter puts his hands up in the air, playfully gesturing.

Waiter: Hey, I surrender; itfs on the house!

Panel four: The waiter walks back into the coffee house. We watch him let off some steam.

Waiter: I hate that lady. If she hates our coffee so damn much, then why does she come back every single freakinf week? For crying out loud!

Page 3

Panel one: Itfs now nighttime. Julie and Scarecrow (yes, the one and only real live scarecrow) stand at a cross walk on the busy Hollywood strip watching traffic zip by.

Scarecrow: So how was your daily cup?

Julie: Ifve had better.

Panel two: Julie and Scarecrow are still standing there. As they look up in time to see a Jeep go by. Itfs obviously a bunch of fraternity kids, as there is a driver, a passenger, and one guy standing up in the back of the Jeep, who also happens to be stark naked. All we see is his backside.

Frat Boys: WOO-WOOOOO!!!

Panel three: The jeep is gone, and Julie and Scarecrow remain undazed.

Julie: Put on your seat belt you dip-shit.

Panel four: Julie and Scarecrow suddenly look over in the direction the jeep was going. A collision has just occurred off panel.

SFX: CRASH!

SFX: HONK HONK!

Panel five: Close up of Scarecrow wincing as Julie remains unaltered in her emotional status.

Scarecrow: Ouch!

Panel six: Julie still remains calm. Scarecrow seems worried.

Scarecrow: Do you think we should help?

Julie: Nah. The good olf boys in blue can take care of it. Besidesc

Julies: It looks like hefs going to need the ejaws of lifef if he wants to take his pecker home with him.

Panel seven: Julie begins to cross the street, as it is now safe to do so.

Scarecrow: Yeah, bad luck.

Julie: No, just stupid dips driving recklessly.

Scarecrow: Yeah, that too.

Page 4

Panel one: As the two detectives walk down the street, there can be seen a group of what appears to be hookers, standing around at the next street corner.

Panel two: Julie perks up as something catches her attention. Scarecrow notices her change.

Scarecrow: Whatfs up?

Panel three: A dramatic angle shot of Julie pointing at something, or someone.

Julie: Donft you dare tell me thatfsc

Panel four: Scarecrow now sees it too, and he finishes Juliefs sentence.

Scarecrow: Vicky Van Foxenbossom!!!

Panel five: A woman with long blonde curls, a tight red dress, and extremely masculine build, and 4 AM stubble, spins around drastically and looks sharply in the direction her/his name was just shouted.

Page 5

Panel one: Vicky takes of running, as best that a stalky man can run in six inch heals. He pushes the other ladies of the night out of his way.

Panel two: Julie, in excitement takes chase, running after her/him.

Julie: Oh no you donft bitch! COME BACK HERE GOLDILOCKS! NOW! VICTOR!

Panel two: Victor runs into the street and pulls a guy off a motorcycle.

Panel three: Victor, in his tight fitting little red dress zooms off.

SFX: Skreeech!

Panel four: The biker is getting up off the ground and Julie dashes up, crashing into him.

Julie: Police! Move out of the way.

Biker: Oof!

Panel five: The biker falls back down, and Julie keeps on chasing Victor by foot.

Page 6

Panel one: Scarecrow stops to help the man up. Up ahead of them is a horse and carriage. Julie is out of sight.

Scarecrow: Are you hurt?

Biker: Just my ego. Some dude in a dress just went GTA on my ass. Totally un-cool man!

Panel two: Scarecrow stands straight, and pauses as he sees the horse and carriage.

Scarecrow: Donft worry son, I have a plan that will ensure the apprehension of that totally un-cool dudette, and wefll get you your bike back ASAP.

Panel three: Julie is dog-tired but shefs sprinting like a bat out of hell down the street to catch up. Out of breathe and weezing, she remains focused.

Julie: Puh- puh phooh.

Scarecrow (OP): Need a lift?

Page 7

Panel one: Scarecrow is riding the horse from the carriage and reaches down to grab Julie.

Julie: Whatchuffctook youchuff huffc so Goddamn long?!

SFX: Clop clop! Clop Clop!

Panel two: Scarecrow and Julie clasp arms and he pulls her upward.

SFX: Grab!

Panel three: They gallop off after Victor.

Julie: He took a right at that crispy cream up ahead. Hey, wherefd you learn to ride a hoarse anyway?

Scarecrow: I worked on a ranch up in Montana for a few summers.

Julie: Well arenft you something. My very own partner, John Scarecrow, real life cowboy and everything.

Page 8

Splash page: Driving at us head on is Victor, in his tight fitting skirt, hairy cleavage, and wavy golden locks, is racing down the street on the motor bike he stole earlier. As he glances into the bikefs mirror he unexpectedly notices something he was unaware of up until now. There is a hoarse with a Scarecrow (Yes, a real life walking and talking scarecrow) and Julie Kingston tailing him. With a backdrop of city lights in the evening, the chase ensues!

Victor: What the hell?

SFX: VROOM

SFX: CLOP CLOP CLOP!

Page 1

Panel one: High above L.A. news helicopters buzz with excitement. They hover over the buildings as something worthy catches each eagle eye camera lens.

Caption: This is CNN eye in the sky with breaking news.

Caption: High above the City of Angels we witness a most fascinating display of heroism as two city officers chase down an unknown suspect.

Caption: The high-speed chase continues to ensue, but waitc I can make it out more clearly now. This is interesting folksc

Caption: It appears that a hoarse is chasing a motorcycle, and a Scarecrow is chasing a man in a red dress.

Panel two: A close up of the news chopper. A man leaning out the door with a news camera.

Caption: You donft see that everyday.

Panel three: Julie Kingston lunges from the hoarse back, and is sailing through mid-air, reaching out to grab Victor.

Page 2

Panel one: Scarecrow is standing next to the hoarse; still holding itfs reins. He looks ever so calm as he speaks his words of advice.

Scarecrow: I warned you about the jumping thing.

Julie (OP): FRKMRGJIGGACK!

Panel two: Julie is banged up real good, bruised and bashed from the motorcycle wreck, which obviously occurred.

Scarecrow (OP): I think you need to calm down a little beforec

Julie: I am F*#ing calm!

Panel three: Julie walks over to Victor (still a little dazed and confused) who is sitting on the ground, awkwardly stretching his skirt as he has his legs spread straight.

Panel four: Julie points down at him as she rages on.

Julie: Okay you Gold wigged porridge eating freak! Whyfd you f*#ing try to kill us!

Victor: I didnft try to kill No-one!

Panel four: Victor stands up, towering over Julie, stalkiness overbearing to her petiteness.

Julie: Then whyfd you run?
Victor: Because you were chasing me!

Panel five: Julie raises her arms in grief.

Julie: Oh that smarts my ass! Victoriafs secret is out; wefre dealing with a genuine dumb ass!

Page 3

Panel one: Victor is all teary eyed and about to cry from Juliefs insults. In the background Scarecrow is redirecting Julie away from Victor.

Panel two: Scarecrow steps back up to Victor to have a chat.

Scarecrow: Why did you run Vicky Van Foxenbossom?

Victor: Why did the she-bitch have to call me names? I'm sensitive you know. Besides, you chased me. I ran. What more is there honey?

Julie (OP): I got more names where those came from you cross-dressing twit!

Panel three: Scarecrow turns to hush his partner who is off panel. He motions silence with his finger to his lip stitches.

Scarecrow: Shoosh! Please.

Panel four: Close up of Scarecrow talking to Victor.

Scarecrow: Sorry for chasing you Victor. We just wanted to say hi. Youfre our street contact, you know things.

Victor: Well, maybe I over-reacted. When youfre in my line of work you can never be too careful. Especially with the police sometimes they want to chat, and other times they want to be brutal. And I do know things, especially about that one. Seen her on the TV. Shefs the brutal type.

Panel five: Victor pouts on.

Victor: I know such attention comes with the job, but canft they just let a girl be?

Panel six: Julie walks up to Victor and rips the front of his dress down exposing his man chest and nipples.

Julie: For Godfs sake youfre a man! Try acting like one.

SFX: RIP!

Page 4

Panel one: Victor screams like a schoolgirl.

Victor: Eiiee- Assault! Assault! Police brutality. My beautiful innocence exposed!

Panel two: Scarecrow is dragging Julie back again!

Julie: Tell it to Janet Jackson, or someone who cares, you hairy nippled freak!

Panel three: Another shot of the helicopter above the city.

Caption: Again with an update, apparently the suspect is being apprehended now. However, there seems to be a heated situation as the female detective and suspect continue to exchange insults with one another.

Panel four: Another sky shot, but this time above the L.A. Police precinct.

Chief Captain Caption: What the hell kind of publicity stunt were you two going for exactly?

Page 5

Panel one: A wide angled panel of an angry balding fat man with a sweaty furrowed brow and a cigar in his mouth. He is sitting behind his large wooden desk. Papers are scattered across the desktop along with some empty donut boxes. His gun holster is 3 sizes too small, and his tie is too short for his paunch belly.

Panel two: A second wide angle panel of both Julie and Scarecrow sitting across from their police captain.

Panel three: Taking the cigar out of his mouth he points across at Julie.

Caption: Shut up!

Julie: But I didnft say anything yet.

Panel three: A shot looking down on the group.

Captain: But you were going to, and the last thing I need is more garbage coming out of your trash mouth Kingston!

Captain: Ifve had it up to here with you two and your comic book antics! If you donft start behaving like real detectives youfre going to have to find new jobs! Do I make myself clear?

Julie & Scarecrow: Yes sir! Crystal clear, sir!

Panel four: Julie and Scarecrow leave the office.

Captain: Now get out of my hair, the both of you!

Panel five: Scarecrow walks off, away from Julie. Julie stands contemplative and almost sad looking.

Scarecrow: Ifve got paperwork.

Julie: Yeah.

Page 6

Panel one: Julie sits at a little round table in a Star Bucks type coffee house. There is a piece of paper and pen in front of Julie.

Panel two: The same young blond hair stud of a waiter sees Julie again and walks over to her.

Waiter: Look lady, I canft keep on giving you free coffee every time you come in here. Cop or not.

Panel three: Julie is obviously writing a letter, but she pauses.

Julie: No kid, I donft expect you too.

Panel four: Julie stands up and walks out, to leave, without having ordered.

Julie: Sorry about before.

Panel five: The waiter looks down at the table Julie sat at. She left behind money for last weeks coffee, and a letter.

Panel six: Close up of the letter she was writing. An angled shot of the letter, so itfs not as static and also to be more catching.

LETTER: Dear Victor,
My captain has requested, or rather forced me to attend anger management classes 3 times a week. My therapist suggests I should write you an apology letter and explain exactly why I was so hostile towards you. I guess I just donft like freaks, no offense. Ifm sure youfre a nice guy or girl, or whatever you think you arec and I support the fact that wefre all a little different. My partner also is unique. I just hope you can accept this lame ass apology. Ohcscrew it. Ifm not getting paid for this shit.

Sincerely,

Julie Kingston

I wonder why all your apostrophes come out as squares on this browser...

Pikachu

Its the web browser I am using I suppose. I am using a Japanese based version of Explorer, and typing via Japanese text and english text, however, the keyboards are formatted differently here in Japan. It actually took me two weeks before I discovered where the apostrophe went to. Whenever I read other peoples writings on English text forums I get little weird random Kanji symbols that don't make any sense where apostrophes should be. I end up just guessing if it is an I am conjunction or an Is not conjunction.

:D

Pika!

Yeah... that happens sometimes when you use browsers for a site that is not in the same language (ie this is an English-based site, he is using a japanese-based browser). Sometimes the coding they use is different.

I see it on other message boards, and just get used to it. ^_^
