Transformers Page #2

Synopsis: A long time ago, far away on the planet of Cybertron, a war is being waged between the noble Autobots (led by the wise Optimus Prime) and the devious Decepticons (commanded by the dreaded Megatron) for control over the Allspark, a mystical talisman that would grant unlimited power to whoever possesses it. The Autobots managed to smuggle the Allspark off the planet, but Megatron blasts off in search of it. He eventually tracks it to the planet of Earth (circa 1850), but his reckless desire for power sends him right into the Arctic Ocean, and the sheer cold forces him into a paralyzed state. His body is later found by Captain Archibald Witwicky, but before going into a comatose state Megatron uses the last of his energy to engrave into the Captain's glasses a map showing the location of the Allspark, and to send a transmission to Cybertron.

- Sleep in fear tonight.

- Here, you want? Here, 50. 40? 30?

- Sam?

- Yeah. Sorry, sorry.

Okay. Pretty good, right?

I'd say a solid B-.

A B-?

You were hawking

your great-grandfather's crap

- in my classroom.

- No, kids enjoy...

- Look, can you do me a favor?

- What?

Can you look out the window

for a second? You see my father?

- He's the guy in the green car.

- Yeah.

Okay, I wanna tell you about a dream.

A boy's dream.

And a man's promise to that boy.

He looked at me in the eye.

He said, "Son, I'm gonna buy you a car.

"But I want you to bring me $2,000

and three As."

Okay? I got the 2,000 and I got two As.

Okay? Here's the dream. Your B-.

Dream gone. Kaput.

Sir, just ask yourself,

what would Jesus do?

Yes! Yes, yes.

So?

A-. It's an A, though.

Wait, wait, wait. I can't see. It's an A.

- So I'm good?

- You're good.

- I got a little surprise for you, son.

- What kind of...

Yeah, a little surprise.

No. No, no, no, no. Dad!

- Oh, you got to be kidding me.

- See?

Yeah. I am.

You're not getting a Porsche.

- You think that's funny?

- Yeah, I think it's funny.

- What's wrong with you?

- You think I'd really get you

a Porsche for your first car?

I don't want to talk to you

for the rest of this whole thing.

- Oh, come on. It's just a practical joke.

- It's not a funny joke.

- Manny!

- What?

Get your cousin out of

that damn clown suit.

He's having a heat stroke again.

Scaring white folks.

I'm hot! Makeup's melting.

It hurts my eyes.

Here? No, no, no, what is this?

You said... You said half a car,

not half a piece of crap, Dad.

When I was your age, I'd have been

happy with four wheels and an engine.

Okay, let me explain

something to you. Okay?

- You ever see 40-Year-Old Virgin?

- Yeah.

Okay, that's what this is.

And this is 50-year-old virgin.

- Okay.

- You want me to live that life?

- No sacrifice, no victory.

- Yeah, no victory. You know, I got it.

- The old Witwicky motto, Dad.

- Right.

Gentlemen.

Bobby Bolivia, like the country,

except without the runs.

How can I help you?

Well, my son here,

looking to buy his first car.

- You come to see me?

- I had to.

That practically makes us family.

Uncle Bobby B, baby. Uncle Bobby B.

- Sam.

- Sam, let me talk to you.

Sam, your first enchilada of freedom

awaits underneath one of those hoods.

Let me tell you something, son.

A driver don't pick the car.

The car'll pick the driver.

It's a mystical bond

between man and machine.

Son, I'm a lot of things,

but a liar's not one of them.

Especially not in front of my mammy.

That's my mammy. Hey, Mammy!

Don't be like that.

If I had a rock, I'd bust your head, b*tch.
