The Green Hornet

Narrator:
Another challenge for the Green Hornet, his aide Kato, and their rolling arsenal, the Black Beauty. On Police records a wanted criminal, Green Hornet is really Britt Reid, owner-publisher of the Daily Sentinel, his dual identity known only to his secretary and to the district attorney. And now, to protect the rights and lives of decent citizens, rides THE GREEN HORNET."

The Green Hornet:
[taking routine inventory on his gadgetry before cruising into action] Hornet gun... check. Hornet sting... check. Let's roll, Kato!

[last lines]

D.A. Frank Scanlon:
That tape certainly isn't admissible as evidence.

Britt Reid:
Give me some time, Frank, and I'll have you all the evidence you'll need. The Green Hornet's gonna have a little business conference with Peter Eden.

[first lines]

Mike Axford:
[Axford tosses an envelope onto a desk inside a shed at a closed construction site] I've got a thousand dollars there. What have *you* got?

[Axford grabs Wiggins by the wrist as he reaches for the envelope]

Mike Axford:
You said on the phone you'd give me the name of the man behind the construction company insurance racket!

Wiggins:
Show me the money first.

[Axford displays the cash, and then a loud motorized sound is heard coming from outside the shed]

Mike Axford:
What's that?

Wiggins:
[incredulous] Bulldozer!

Claudia Bromley:
You know, I have a feeling the Green Hornet isn't as bad as people say he is. He's so polite.

Britt Reid:
And tall and handsome...

Claudia Bromley:
Oh, much taller than you. There I was, tied up, helpless, about to become another victim of Colony and his gang when out of the darkness came the Green Hornet! I hope he never gets caught, but if he does, I shall defend him for nothing.

Britt Reid:
I'm sure he'll be delighted.

The Green Hornet:
That sounds like Page One stuff to me.

The Green Hornet:
Dale Hyde must have been delayed.

The Green Hornet:
When there's action I like to be in on it.

Calvin Ryland:
[to his brother Warren] This is a side of you I didn't know about.

The Green Hornet:
Your brother has many sides, Mr. Ryland, and quite a few angles.

The Green Hornet:
[riding through town, sitting in the backseat of the Black Beauty] Who do you work for?

Jack Starkey:
I told you - just me.

The Green Hornet:
Listen, Starkey. Even a fish that smells as bad as you has a head. Who is it?

Kato:
You know, if we ever meet up with that masked gung fu man again... I want him.

Britt Reid:
You got him.

[a beauty shot of the Batcave goes by to the instrumental Batman theme on the television, watched by a grinning Carlo, also playing a solitaire game]

Bert Selden:
We've got a fortune riding on a deal, and you're watching Batman?

[door buzzer sounds]

Carlo:
That must be Wander.

[Carlo returns his attention to the television]

Bert Selden:
Well, find out, stupid!

[instrumental Batman theme continues through scene until broken by a "Special News Flash"]

The Green Hornet:
Doctor, you either come with us willingly or you'll be carried.

The Green Hornet:
Is a rumor worth killing for?

The Green Hornet:
Do we have a deal?

Al Trump:
What's your cut?

The Green Hornet:
Half.

Al Trump:
That's highway robbery!

The Green Hornet:
Another highway might lead right to the cemetery, Trump.

Dan Carley:
I kill, Hornet. I don't lie.

The Green Hornet:
That's something I have to find out.
