Wonder Woman

Wait for me here, boys.

Henshaw.

Perfect timing.

What is this, Dunfield? I hate crowds. You know that.

The secretary of state insisted.

I didn't come all this way into town just to be put on display,

for Pete's sake.

Government protocol.

All right. Let's get it over with.

Greetings, Mr. Henshaw, from my people

to the most distinguished captain of industry on Earth.

I salute the richest man in the Western Hemisphere.

And I salute the most eminent prime minister

of our great European friend and ally.

I particularly salute the greatest scientific genius ever...

All right, all right.

- Hi, Primo. - Hi, Marshall.

It is an honor finally to meet you in person.

I understand that not too many people have done so.

Well, it's not every day that something as important as Missy

is bought and sold.

"Missy"?

Missile Systems Scrambler. "Missy" is a pet name.

"Missy", that's very deceptive, considering that it can...

deprogram the guidance system of any armed missile

within a radius of 500 miles.

You can call and tell the prime minister that she doesn't have to worry

about the nuclear-armed nations that surround her country. Not anymore.

Good. It checks out, then.

I can, and will, attest that this device is in operating condition

and that it is what the country of Olivera

agreed to purchase from Henshaw International.

Great. If you will sign this while I make a phone call...

Good. Thanks, Diana. Yeah, bye.

Our people just verified it.

The scrambler, Missy? It's all ready to be shipped.

How about that? You have the word of the Inter-Agency Defense Command

that you're getting a square deal.

I never thought for one instant that I was not.

It is just that there are so many people who would stop at nothing

to obtain illegally what I have just bought from you.

I could've sworn it was a gunshot.

Come on. Let's get moving.

All right. Let's get this thing loaded up.

Wait a minute. You're not my driver. Who are you?

Time for the world's richest man to go for a little ride.

We've got to get everything off him, labels and all.

Nice of Mr. Henshaw to let so few people know

What he really looks like.

Without any ID, it'll take him ten years to convince anyone who he is.

Now, let's find a nice out-of-the-way spot to dump him off.

Here we go.

Here we go. "Lost dogs."

Let me see.

What about "Casper"? Is that your name, huh?

Casper! Here, boy.

No Casper.

Well, there's no reward for finding a dog named Casper anyway.

Let's see. What about "Fluffy"?

Is that your name? Fluffy! Hey, Fluffy!

Fluffy!

Okay. No Fluffy.

I wouldn't be caught dead feeding a dog named Fluffy.

Let's see. What about...

"Jason."

What about "Jason"?

Is that your name? Hey, Jason.

Here, boy. Jason!

Jason, good dog. That's my boy. That's my dog.

Let's see, Jason. Good boy.

Let's see. You're worth 50 bucks.

Yeah.

Heck, you should be feeding me. That's a good boy.

Well, Jason, you just eat right up there, champ,

'cause you and me are gonna go for a little walk.

One that's gonna make me a very rich man.

Excuse me, could I speak to you for a minute?

Sure. Excuse me.

Well, everything went without a hitch, Colonel.

Now, Diana's tailing the furniture van

and apparently no one suspects what's really inside.

Good. The secretary of state will be glad to hear that.

If anything happened to that scrambler now while it's still in this country,

could trigger a very messy international incident.

It's only about 60 miles from here to the prime minister's private freighter.

So in about an hour and a half from now, we can all relax.

Especially Diana.

Hey!

Jason! Jason, come back here!

Hey!

Oh, great.

Well, thank you very much, mister. I just lost 50 bucks.

- So I'll buy you another dog. - He wasn't mine.

- So I'll steal you one. - I didn't steal him. He's a runaway.

I was gonna bring him in for a reward. 50 bucks.

All right. I owe you 50 bucks.

You don't look like you could pay me 50 cents.

What happened?

I was getting into the ambulance...

and they jumped me.

They took my wallet, my watch,

my credit cards, keys, everything.

- You got mugged in an ambulance? - I'll murder them.

Listen, mister...

maybe you can give me an IOU on the 50 bucks.

- Where do you live, kid? - Back there.

- Let's go. - Let's go?

Yeah, somebody's in a lot of trouble.

It's gonna be you, if I don't get my money.

Hey.

Are you okay?

The brakes went out. They told me this thing was brand new.

That sounds a little strange, doesn't it?

Yeah.

This, I take it, is not a standard feature?

Heck, no.

In that case, you better step back.

That was under my bumper?

Yes, apparently someone wanted to make sure

that this van was destroyed in a crash.

The van and whatever was supposed to be inside.

One more dent is not gonna matter.

It's been stolen.

Great.

Are you certain the driver of the van was not involved?

I'm positive, Steve.

Then the switch had to be made at the factory.

Right. I'm going back there now.

It might not be a bad idea to get a hold of Marshall Henshaw.

Okay, I'll work on it.

I'll pass the word along here.

- Goodbye, Diana. - Bye, Steve.

Excuse me, Prime Minister.

I have some news concerning Missy.

It has arrived at the dock, right on time.

No. I'm afraid I have bad news.

- What is this? - What does it look like?

Wait a minute, kid. I haven't got time for games.

This isn't where you live?

Sure is. Is there something wrong with it?

- Where's your family? - I never had any.

- So where did you run away from? - A lot of places.

Two orphanages, six foster homes, one great aunt.

Well, sorry to hear that, kid. But I gotta make a phone call.

Wait a minute, buddy.

You and I got something to settle here first.

Look, you'll get your money for the dog

and then some. I promise.

- When? - As soon as I make the phone call.

I'll tell my chauffeur to make sure he's got 50 bucks in his pocket

when he picks me up.

- Chauffeur? - Yeah.

I think the muggers hit you on the head a little too hard.

Not hard enough. See you later, kid.

Uh, you better tell your chauffeur to bring you something else, too.

- What's that? - Money. For the phone call.

Good point.

- What's your name, kid? - Barney.

- Mine's Marshall. - Hi.

Hey, Barney, would you lend your old pal Marshall a couple of dimes?

Wait a minute, you want me to give you money

so I can get the money that you already owe me?

Happens all the time in my line of work.

Huh. Sounds like my type of occupation.

I'll tell you all about it, as soon as I make the phone call.

All right. I've been meaning to go to the bank anyway.

- For 20 cents, you gotta go to the bank? - Yeah, well, sort of.

You see, this here is my rainy-day account.

It's for days when wackos in the woods

do away with my other means of support.

Hello... The I.R.A.C. computer

is temporarily unable to take your call.

Please, stay on the line...

I don't believe this.

...and your call will be answered as soon as possible.

Hello... The I.R.A.C. computer...

The next time I call, he'll probably have an answering service.

This is the I.R.A.C. computer. To whom am I speaking?

Take a guess.

- Good morning, Steve Trevor. - Ira, who have you been talking with?

That is none of your business.

You been playing chess with the police computer again?

The I.R.A.C. computer does not engage in activities of a...

- Are you winning? - Naturally.

All right, between moves, how about doing a little research for me?

Shoot.

All right. It's very important that Diana or I

get in touch with Marshall Henshaw.

The Marshall Henshaw? Head of Henshaw International?

Yeah, that's the guy.

- He values his privacy above all else. - Yes, I know, Ira.

- Few people know what he looks like. - I know, Ira.

- Even fewer know how to contact him. - Ira, I realize that.

Your request is next to impossible.

- You're terrific. - Do not forget it.
