Newsreel Narrator:
In a stunning turn of events, a superhero is being sued for saving someone who, apparently, didn't want to be saved. The plaintiff, Oliver Sansweet, who was foiled in his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible, has filed suit against the famed superhero in Superior Court.

[Oliver Sansweet's lawyer stands next to him on the crowded front steps, and speaks to a cluster of reporters]

Oliver Sansweet's Lawyer:
Mr. Sansweet didn't ask to be saved, Mr. Sansweet didn't want to be saved, and the injuries received from Mr. Incredible's so-called "actions" cause him daily pain.

[The crowd stirs as Mr. Incredible appears and points a threatening finger at Oliver Sansweet]

Mr. Incredible:
Hey, I saved your life!

Oliver Sansweet:
You didn't save my life, you ruined my death, that's what you did!

Mr. Incredible:
Listen, you little piece of...

Mr. Incredible's Lawyer:
[cuts him off] My client has no further comment at this time.

[Shots of the train accident scene]

Newsreel Narrator:
Five days later, another suit was filed by victims of the el train accident.

[Shots of a courtroom filled with neck-braced train-wreck victims. A lawyer goes through his paces, often gesturing toward a glowering Mr. Incredible]

Newsreel Narrator:
Incredible's court losses cost the government millions. And opened the flood gates for dozens of superhero lawsuits the world over.

[A series of spinning newspaper headlines describing the succession of lawsuits brought against Superheroes:
"DynaGuy sued!", "'SUPER' DAMAGES!", "X-RAY VISION PEEPING TOM?" Irate Taxpayers demonstrate, waving placards that read: "NO MORE SUPER BAILOUTS!", "$UPER EXPEN$IVE!", etc. A senator addresses his colleagues from the floor of the House of Representatives]

Senator:
It is time for their secret identity to become their only identity. Time for them to join us, or go away.

Newsreel Narrator:
Under tremendous public pressure, and the crushing financial burden of an ever mounting series of lawsuits, the government quietly initiated the superhero relocation program.

[Superheroes exiting the public stage, as they wave goodbye (ala Nixon), duck into cars in a shower of popping flashbulbs, cheered by supporters, jeered by opponents, etc]

Newsreel Narrator:
The supers will be granted amnesty from responsibility for past actions, in exchange for the promise to never again resume hero work. Where are they now?

[A throng of people mill about the city streets in diverse anonymity]

Newsreel Narrator:
They are living among us. Average citizens, average heroes. Quietly and anonymously continuing to make the world a better place.

[The music crescendoes as camera lifts up to the horizon and the sun streaming through the clouds]
