Chairman: Dear Director.

Fade in to the Reds in one Warthog being chased by another

Chairman: Our laws are not designed to outline every possible infraction that may take place! However the spirit of the law is clear. Blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of our citizens, in any form, will always be a punishable offense, regardless of how well, or by whom that offense has been justified.

The Reds are in the lead car, being fired upon

Simmons: Here they come!

Sarge: Simmons, what're you waitin' for? Shoot 'em!

Simmons: I can't! The stupid gun is jammed!

Sarge: Step on it, Grif.

Grif: Yeah, no shit!

Sarge: Whose idea was it to steal a jeep from these guys anyway?

Cut to Cal, Wash and the Blues watching

"Gah, I knew this plan wouldn't work!" Wash shouts.

"We all knew this plan wouldn't work." Church states. "None of our plans ever work."

"That's why we carry guns." Caboose says.

Washington starts to mock Sarge. "'We can get a car, no problem. We're better with vehicles than the Blues, let us handle this.' Why did I even listen to them?"

"That was the worst impression ever." Cal says. "Of all time."

"Oh, quiet." 

"I told you not to." Church says.

"Yeah, well, I already stopped listening to you three bases ago." Wash states.

Caboose then speaks. "Well that's not very--"

"And I never started listening to you."

The chase continues

Sarge: Force them into the wall!

Grif: On it!

The pursuing car enters the base

Grif: Where'd they go!?

Sarge: Did ya lose 'em?

Grif: Looks like it.

They skid to a stop as the other car works its way through the base

Sarge: What in Sam Hell? I don't believe it.

Grif: Well Sarge, I guess you owe me an apology. Turns out I'm not such a bad driver after-

The other jeep emerges from the base right in front of them

Grif: ...all.

The other jeep's gunner turns the turret toward them

Grif: Aw come on, what the fuck!

The Blues, Wash and Cal watch the chase resume.

"Aw man, that jeep has a really big gun." Caboose says.

Church turns to Caboose. "Don't get any ideas."

Wash sighs. "Well I guess I'd better get down there and save them." He starts to walk down the cliff. "I'm really starting to hate this part of the job."

"Well at least you're getting a lot of practice at it." Caboose points out.

"Don't patronize me."

Church then calls out. "You know, if we let all of them die, we could probably all squeeze into one car. Just saying, you should think about it."
