"Yes, the Terrible Trash Tipper. The Terrible Trash Tipper trepidaciously tip-toes through town tipping over tins of trash, terrorizing tots and toddlers and terrified townfolk."

DROOPER

"Would you repeat that please?"

"Not a chance...Until this troublemaker is apprehended, keep the women and children off the streets."

KNOCK AT DOOR SOUND

"Thanks, Super Drooper, for striking another blow for justice."

SUPER DROOPER

"Don't mention it."

He faints dead away...while still in the trash can.
