ON MATER - MOMENTS LATER
He drives through the party, frantic.
MATER
"Coming through! Excuse me, leakin' oil. Where's the bathroom? Thank you. I gotta go!"
Someone points Mater down a hallway. He whips around the CORNER ---
--- and STOPS. Finds himself in front of TWO BATHROOM DOORS, neither of which clearly indicate MALE or FEMALE.
MATER
(CONFUSED)
"What the..."
Mater chooses one, drives inside. A SHRIEK is heard and Mater zips out.
MATER
Sorry ladies!
He heads into the other door ---
CUT TO:
INT. MEN'S ROOM - NIGHT
Mater rolls in, still 'holding it in' like a kid.
MATER
"I never leak I never leak I never leak..."
He sees someone leaving a stall. He heads in.
IN THE STALL - Mater enters, looks up.
MATER
"Wowee..."
The stall is a complicated apparatus with buttons and lights. High-tech Japanese. It suddenly GRABS MATER, hoists him up as if he's going to get an oil change.
MATER
"What in the---"
A Japanese style cartoon CARICATURE appears on a TV MONITOR, followed by images of waterfalls and rivers.
MATER
(GIGGLING)
"Hey, that tickles."
The caricature starts talking in Japanese. Suddenly WATER FIRES UP underneath Mater's undercarriage, goosing him. He freaks out.
OUTSIDE THE STALL - With Mater's yells audible we see a GREMLIN enter, furtive. Suddenly, inexplicably, his frame BREAKS APART like an egg, revealing an AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR underneath. The pieces of the Gremlin disappear under him, clearly his disguise. This is ROD REDLINE - American Agent.
ROD REDLINE
"Okay, McMissile. I'm here. It's time for the drop."
INT. PARTY - SAME
HOLLEY and JUDY, rolls along by themself. Holly was Nervous. DING! Her rearview monitor springs to life.
HOLLEY (INTO RADIO)
"Okay, so the American has activated his tracking beacon."
JUDY (INTO RADIO)
"Where heading his location now."
FINN (OVER RADIO)
"Roger that. Move in."
INT. BATHROOM - SAME
Rod Redline, waiting at a sink, feels a presence behind him. GREM and ACER have entered, hesitate briefly when they see Rod Redline. Rod Redline, careful, slides a gun out of his tire. He is suddenly CHARGED by the AMCs --- Rod SPINS AROUND and gets a shot off but is SLAMMED HEAD FIRST. A TIGHT, CLOSE-QUARTERS
FIGHT begins ---
IN THE STALL - Mater, still TRAPPED, is now being SCRUBBED as if in a car wash. He is helpless.
