MICKEY DO YOU WORK IN THE LABS, MR. HAYWOOD? HAYWOOD ME? OH, NO, NEVER HAD THE KNACK FOR IT. MY OFFICIAL TITLE IS “SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT,” THOUGH IN PRACTICE MOST OF MY DUTIES ARE SIMPLE ACCOUNTING, PAYROLL AND EXPENSE APPROVALS. MOST OF THAT COULD HONESTLY BE DONE BY WIRE, BUT THEY CONSIDER IT “GOOD OPTICS” TO HAVE A HAYWOOD ON-SITE, AT LEAST SO LONG AS THAT SIGN STAYS UP OUT FRONT. HAYWOOD THEY ACTUALLY DID TRY TO CHANGE IT, ONCE, BUT IT TURNS OUT EACH LETTER IS ANCHORED INTO THE WALL WITH FOOT-LONG STEEL RODS. SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT HIS PRODUCT LEGACY, BUT GRANDDAD COULD MAKE ONE DARNED DURABLE SIGN. 34. MICKEY YOU SAID “THEY” CONSIDER IT GOOD OPTICS? HAYWOOD THE SHAREHOLDERS. AS OF RIGHT NOW, THE COMPANY IS OWNED BY A GROUP OF ALBANY BANKERS WHO FLY IN ONCE A YEAR TO TELL ME THAT THE COMPANY SHOULD BE MAKING THEM MORE MONEY. THOSE ARE FUN DAYS. OKAY, HERE’S THE LAB. WATCH THE BROKEN GLASS. 35 HAYWOOD DR. KNOCK SPOTTED THE INTRUDER COMING THROUGH RIGHT ABOUT HERE… AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL. MICKEY DR. KNOCK – THAT WAS THE THIN FELLER WITH THE GOGGLES? HE SEEMED PRETTY CONVINCED THE HOODED GUY WAS A VANDAL. HAYWOOD I’D… TAKE THAT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT. DR. KNOCK IS – WELL… MICKEY AN UNRELIABLE WITNESS?

30. MICKEY DIDN’T KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF WORKING LABORATORIES IN THIS PART OF THE CITY – IS THIS SOME KIND OF HIGH-TECH RESEARCH FACILITY? HAYWOOD HARDLY. WE MAKE HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES – WASHING MACHINES, TOASTER OVENS – IN MY GRANDFATHER’S DAY THE COMPANY ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY MADE BABY BOTTLE WARMERS. I EXPECT HE CHOSE THE “TECHNOLOGIES” PART TO SOUND A BIT MORE MODERN. 31. MICKEY DO YOU REALLY NEED A LAB IF ALL YOU’RE MAKING IS HOME APPLIANCES? I FIGURED THE WORLD PRETTY MUCH ALREADY HAD ITS TOASTER SITUATION MAPPED OUT BY THIS POINT. HAYWOOD OH, THERE’S CONSTANT UPHEAVAL – NEW MATERIALS, MORE EFFICIENT MANUFACTURING METHODS, UPDATED SAFETY STANDARDS… …OR, FAILING THAT, PRETTIER PACKAGING. THE INDUSTRY’S IN A PERPETUAL RACE FOR THE NEXT BIG HOUSEHOLD INNOVATION! OSWALD HEY, I GOT ONE — WHY DONTCHA MAKE THE SLOTS ON THE TOASTERS BIGGER? ‘CAUSE THE WAY THEY ARE NOW THEY CAN ONLY FIT MAYBE ONE SLICE OF BREAD AND, LIKE, FIVE SARDINES IF YOU REALLY CRAM ‘EM. 32. MICKEY I’M PRETTY SURE YOU’RE ONLY SUPPOSED TO PUT BREAD IN THOSE, OSWALD. OSWALD OH YEAH? THERE’S A POCKETFUL OF EXTREMELY SMOKY SARDINES THAT WOULD DISAGREE WITH YOU! HAYWOOD WE ALSO MANUFACTURE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS.

One thing you couldn't see in the teaser trailer is that I didn't cheat character heights -- Mickey is actually standing on a book.

24 OSWALD WHO, ME? ME, A PRIVATE EYE? HA, OH, NO, NO NO NO NO, THAT’D BE A LAUGH! I CAN SEE WHY YOU’D BE SURPRISED! WHEW! NO, NO – 25 OSWALD IT’S THIS GUY! (props up a barely functional Mickey) MICKEY …THINK I MIGHTA SWALLERED ONE OF MY TEETH… 26 HAYWOOD I THINK WE’LL JUST HANDLE THIS INTERNALLY… OSWALD GIVE HIM A MINUTE, GIVE HIM A MINUTE! HE MAY NOT LOOK LIKE MUCH, BUT THIS FELLA REALLY IS A TOP-NOTCH DETECTIVE WHEN HE AINT GETTING TRAMPLED BY GOONS! KNOCK DOES HE HAVE CREDENTIALS? 27 OSWALD YOU KIDDIN’? HE’S GOT A P.I. BADGE JUST AS SHINY AS THE SUN, AND IF YOU GET REAL CLOSE IT STILL SMELLS LIKE CARAMEL POPCORN — FELIX YOU READ ABOUT THE WYLER CASE IN THE PAPER, LAST MONTH? HE’S THE ONE WHO CRACKED IT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. TUSKER AT CITY HALL WILL VOUCH — KNOCK ENOUGH, HE’S HIRED. 28 MICKEY REALLY? HAYWOOD NOW, HOLD ON, KNOCK, YOU CAN’T JUST— KNOCK I CAN, IN FACT. YOU WANTED AN INVESTIGATION, YOU’VE GOT ONE. WORK OUT THE PARTICULARS FOR PAYMENT AND GIVE THEM ACCESS TO LAB TWO, NOTHING ELSE. THEY’LL BE REPORTING TO YOU FROM THIS POINT. I’M GOING BACK TO WORK.

21. HAYWOOD THAT’S YOUR FIRST PRIORITY, MAYBE! WHAT ABOUT THE SHAREHOLDERS? MICKEY (reading the building name) “HAYWOOD TECHNOLOGIES…” SPECTACLES THE SHAREHOLDERS ONLY CARE THAT THE MONEY KEEPS FLOWING, AS YOU WELL KNOW. AND BECAUSE THAT HINGES ON KEEPING THE LAB RUNNING WITH AS LITTLE INTERRUPTION AS POSSIBLE, ON THIS RARE INSTANCE OUR INTERESTS ALIGN. 22. HAYWOOD AND YOU THINK THEY’LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT? THEY’RE GOING TO WANT AN INVESTIGATION – KNOCK SO GIVE THEM ONE, JUST NOT THROUGH THE POLICE. THIS CITY HAS PLENTY OF PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS WHO UNDERSTAND DISCRETION – HIRE ONE. THE SHAREHOLDERS WILL GET A NICE, NEAT REPORT THEY CAN HAND OVER TO THE INSURANCE ADJUSTERS, AND I CAN GET BACK TO WORK. (OSWALD TAKES NOTICE) HAYWOOD WELL, I – 23. OSWALD SAY! I COULDN’T HELP OVERHEARIN’, YOU FELLAS ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A DISCREET PRIVATE DETECTIVE? CAUSE BUDDY, THIS IS YOUR LUCKY DAY! … I MEAN, IT’LL AVERAGE OUT THAT WAY, MORE OR LESS. HAYWOOD … YOU’RE A PRIVATE DETECTIVE?

A pair of WELL-DRESSED men have followed through the broken window where the runner had recently emerged. One is louder, angrier, and larger in general. This is HAYWOOD. The other, a quieter, spectacles-wearing type, hangs back and observes. FELIX IF YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THE FELLOW IN BLACK, HE RAN OFF IN THAT DIRECTION. HE WAS MAKING PRETTY GOOD TIME, TOO, AFTER SUCCESSFULLY UTILIZING OUR FRIEND’S SPINAL COLUMN FOR EXTRA TRACTION. MICKEY (out of it, stars swimming around his head) H-HORACE? I THINK THE BULL’S LOOSE AGAIN! HAYWOOD OH, THIS WONT DO! THIS WONT DO AT ALL! 19. OSWALD WHO WAS THAT GUY? HAYWOOD I – I DON’T – SPECTACLES (firmly) A VANDAL. MICKEY CRIMONY, THAT SMARTS! WHAT HAPPENED? 20. OSWALD WELL, MR. LAW AND ORDER, IT APPEARS YOU BRIEFLY INTERRUPTED A CRIME IN PROGRESS! MIGHTA STOPPED IT COLD, TOO, IF YOU’D ONLY BEEN ABOUT TEN TIMES FATTER. MICKEY THAT GUY IN THE BLACK! HE RAN RIGHT OVER ME! HAYWOOD – A MEDIA CIRCUS, THAT’S WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT! ONCE THE POLICE GET INVOLVED – SPECTACLES ONE CRISIS AT A TIME, HAYWOOD. OUR FIRST PRIORITY IS SECURING THE LAB –
