Girl #1: Higher. Higher.
*Party music playing on a boom box*
Shelley: *blows a raspberry at several boys chasing her* Come on in. *Laughing* What are you waiting for? Come on in.
Boy #1: Shelley, get out of there, hurry.
Shelley: *chuckles* This is so Spielberg.
Shark: *roar*
Shelley: Michael, is that you? Cool costume. You get it from the Drama Department? *Shark roars again* I'm not laughing anymore, Michael. Now take that thing off. Take it off.
Shark: *growls*
Shelley: Michael? *Gasps and screams*
*students yelling and panicking and running, fleeing.*
Boy #2: Let's get out of here. Huh?
Boy #3: Come on.
Boy #2: Hit it!
Boy #3: What is that?
Fox: *Growls and roars*
Boy #4: Let's get out of here.
Vulture: *Screeches as she divebombs a truck, driving them into a large rock.*
----------------------------------------------------------
Batman: I think you know why we're here, Professor Langstrom.
Kirk Langstrom: I was expecting you. But I had nothing to do with this, I swear. I know it looks bad, but after those last Man-Bat experiments, I realized I could never go down that road again. And I haven't.
Batman: Someone has. Any ideas?
Kirk Langstrom: There was a breach in my computer's security program a few weeks ago.
Batman: So it could be anyone.
Kirk Langstrom: I'm afraid so. But if there's anything I can do to help, anything at all.
Batman: Let's hope it's not too late for that.
---------------------------------------------------------
Batgirl: I'll do some snooping around here in the morning.
Batman: But what about your school?
Batgirl: This has been my school, ever since September. Tell me you knew that. --- *Batman drives off* He can give you the atomic weight of iridium and the private phone number of the president but does he remember I graduated high school? No.
-------------------------------------
Justin: And did you hear those big bad frat boys when they were running off? *Mocking* Squealing just like their little girlfriends.
Amber: *chuckles* You know, I actually tried to get into one of those sororities.
David: You?
Amber: It was a long time ago, David, okay?
Justin: And did you see that girl's face when she figured out it wasn't a costume? I thought she was gonna--
Amber: - Justin, shh!
David: Come on, Amber. Who pays attention to us? At least while we look like this.
Justin: Speaking of that, have you cooked up any more of those patches?
David: It's easy, once you have the recipe. ...Not again.
Justin: What?
David: The doof they gave me for a roommate. *knocks at the door*
Jake: What do you want?
David: What do you think I want, Jake? This is my room too, you know.
Jake: Uh-uh. This party's by invitation only. And it's very exclusive. *David grunts as he is shoved into the wall by Jake* What a newbie.
Barbara Gordon: You okay? You should tell the dorm advisor about this.
David: Mind your own business.
Jake: Humph!
------------------------------------------------
Boy #5: Come on, Jake. They're closing.
Jake: Yeah, yeah.
Jake: *Screams at the sight of Shark*
Shark: *Roars*
Jake: *out of the water, pants, gasps at the sight of Vulture who screeches in his face, clawing at his cheek with her talons* Help!
-------------------------------------------------------
Barbara Gordon: I'm at school. Better come quick. Assuming you can remember which school it is.
------------------------------------------------
Jake: *Pants and whimpers* No, please.
Fox: Don't worry, I'm only going to make you into more of a party animal.
Jake: *Winces as an adhesive patch is slapped onto his shoulder* Wh--what are you doing?
Fox: Oh, you'll see.
Batgirl: Hold it. ... He's gone now. It's okay.
Jake: *Groans*
Batgirl: Or not.
Fox: I did it.
Shark: Then we better get out of here, quick.
Batman: What's the rush?
Fox: Come on.
*The trio clash with Batman, easily taking them out*
Batgirl: Hey, we got a problem.
Batman: No kidding.
Fox: Come on, I've seen this movie before.
Batgirl: Okay, what's the plan?
Batman: Move.
Batgirl: Good plan.
*Students screaming, clamouring to get away from the mutated Jake, now a giant ape*
Boy #7: Let's get out of here.
Batgirl: This is where we call in the Justice League, right?
Batman: For a monkey? They'd throw me out in two seconds.
Girl #3: So how'd you do on the test--? Aah!
"Gorilla Boy" *roars and groans as he transforms back into his human form*
--------------------------------------------------------
Batman: Langstrom.
Kirk Langstrom: Aah!
Batman: There was another creature attack tonight. An ape. This is a blood sample I took from him. If you're serious about wanting to help, see if you can come up with an antidote.
Kirk Langstrom: I'll get to work on it. There are probably some mutagens in here that---
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Jake Thorpe" (on TV): Before they took him away, police questioned the so-called "Gorilla-Boy" but got few answers.
"Al Kelly": Frankly, we don't know what's been causing this. As of this point, we're ready to call in Animal Control.
Amber: Ha. Looks like you got this room all to yourself now.
David: What a coincidence.
*The trio laugh*
Barbara Gordon: Hey, what are you laughing at? Jake's in the hospital now. It's not funny.
Justin: Boohoo.
David: You saw what a jerk he was.
Barbara Gordon: Doesn't mean he deserved that.
Amber: People tend to get exactly what they deserve, sunshine. Maybe you will too.
*The trio laugh again as they close the door on Barbara*
Amber: I think I know who the next monkey's gonna be.
David: Shh! Quiet, Amber.
"Jake Thorpe" (on TV): We go now to Gotham University president Dr. Steven Phillips.
Dr. Steven Phillips (on TV): After last night's incident I'm calling for all Gotham University students to have DNA tests that will determine who's been abusing mutagenic chemicals. Tests will begin tomorrow.
Justin: He can't do that. Isn't that, like, an invasion of primacy?
David: "Privacy," and it's not legal, no way.
Amber: But what if everyone else takes the test and we don't? They'd know it was us.
David: Hmm.
Amber: David?
David: What if everyone had the mutagen in their systems?
Amber: What are you talking about?
David: Well, I've always said this place was a zoo. What if it really turned into one?
----------------------------------------------------------
Batgirl: Where've you been?
Batman: Langstrom's lab. He put together an antidote to the mutagen.
Batgirl: Good, because we're gonna need it soon.
Batman: You're sure?
Batgirl: Give me a second. ... I'm sure. Unless the university's stuffing their dorm pillows with vulture feathers I've found our bird-girl and her two friends.
-------------------------------------------
Batman: Where's everybody going?
Batgirl: Big football game tonight. Dorm's so empty, we could walk through the front door.
Batman: But where's the fun in that?
Batman: Think they're at the game?
Batgirl: They're not the school-spirit types.
Batman: What type are they?
Batgirl: The type no one notices until it's too late: misfits.
Batman: Everyone fits in somewhere. The hard part is finding the right place... Blueprints? For what?
-------------------------------------------------------------
David: What are you saving it for? Put it all in. I want everybody to get their share.
*distant cheering from outside*
Amber: What was that?
David: Must be the kickoff. Our timing's perfect. Get the detonator.
*David's mobile rings*
David: What?
Shark: We got visitors. Batman and Batgirl.
David: I don't believe it. Better get up here.
*Amber and David apply their patches, they screech and groan and roar as the transformation kicks in, sending objects smashing and clattering as they stagger around the room*
------------------------------------------------------------
Batgirl: Nice poochie.
Batman: Lab animals.
*Fox growls attacking Batman*
Batgirl: Time for the antidote.
*Vulture swoops in to attack Batgirl*
Batman: She's got the antidote.
*Fox crashes into a desk. Batgirl snatches the formula back from Vulture, but she loses her grip and the atomiser rolls away. Both Batman and Batgirl are thrown into a cage. Fox is quick to close the door behind them. Shark chomps on the lock, trapping them*
Fox: You know, you were a real inspiration to me, Batman.
Batman: I was an inspiration to you?
Fox: When I was a kid, I saw you way up on a skyscraper. You had everything I ever wanted. Power, freedom, no one to answer to. Then there was the whole animal thing too.
Batman: You might have seen me, but you sure didn't understand.
Fox: Well, I understand now. You're a sellout. A flunky for the cops, that's all.
Batman: And you've turned yourself into a cheap circus act.
*Fox snarls menacingly*
Batgirl: Not helping.
Fox: You wanna talk about a circus? Pretty soon, I'm gonna turn the stadium into the world's biggest freak show Thanks to this. But you're not gonna live to see it.
*Fox angers the lab's snakes by tapping on the glass. He pushes the case over releasing them.*
"Francisco Gracia" (over loudspeaker): And now, for your halftime pleasure the Gotham University marching band.
*Crowd Cheering*
"Jordanna Spence": Go, Gotham. Go ... Gotham?
*Cheers turn to screams as the Terrible Trio cross the pitch*
--------------------------------------------------
Fox: Shower's over.
"Cody Kline": Oh!
"Xane Swift": Run.
"Bernard Dowd": Hurry. Get out of here.
Fox: Once this goes off, a cloud of mutagen will cover half the campus.
------------------------------------------------------------
*Snakes hiss as they draw closer*
Batman: Get back.
*Batman attaches a device to the cage door. It beeps and explodes sending the snakes scattering*
Fox: All set.
*Shark growls, tackling two members of campus security. Batman arrives and doses him with the antidote. He growls, roars dying down as he reverts to his regular form.*
Justin: What? *Grunts as the guards tackle the depowered teen*
*Vulture screeches in protest, grappling with Batgirl, but she too is dosed by the antidote. In the chaos, the atomiser flies across the room into Fox's possession. He snaps it, letting the liquid drip harmlessly to the floor*
Batgirl: No!
*Batman throws a Batarang that whizzes past Fox, thudding into the makeshift chemical bomb. There is a sizzle as the bomb explodes, dowsing Fox in the mutagen. He screams and roars as the chemicals take effect upon impact, altering his body into that of "The Griffin."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
*The Griffin mindlessly rampages through the stadium, grabs Batman and flies off. Batman uses his grapnel gun to tether Griffin to a lampost, though it does not fare well against his newfound speed and bulk. Batman breaks free from Griffin's grasp, who does not see the stadium's large screen until too late. Flying up to avoid a collision, the lampost gets stuck into the monitor, creating an electric shock that renders him unconscious.*
Batgirl: You okay?
Batman: Yeah.
Batgirl: What's gonna happen to him and the other two?
Batman: Hard to say, but I have a feeling that wherever they end up they're still gonna have trouble fitting in.
