[dramatic music]

[Deeds sniggering]

This is the big moment.

Now, hold still, kitty cat.

You're about to
become apart

of my most diabolically
clever invention.

I have discovered the secret



of your nine lives.

[meows]

'Oh, this won't hurt
you a bit.'

'I just throw the switch..'

...get into my
duplicating chamber

and presto.

[zapping]

There are nine
J. Dastardly Deeds.

Now, to complete
me diabolical plan

we'll dispose of Atom Ant
once and for all.

Right, fellows?

- Right, boss.
- Right, boss.

[instrumental music]

(Atom Ant)
'995'

996, 997

998, 999...1000.

Well, that's enough
for now.

crash

I feel so up
and at 'em good

I could lift a mountain.

[phone ringing]

whoosh

Yeah, Atom Ant here.

Oh, hello,
J. Dastardly Deeds.

And what would
the world's most

diabolically clever
inventor want with me?

You've reformed?

And you'd like me
to drop over for tea?

I shall be right there.

This I have got to see.

whoosh

Eh, tell me, J.D.

just when did you
decide to reform?

It was only this morning
when I realized

the error of my ways.

Open up, J.D.

we know you're in there.

Good grief

what's that all about?

(Deeds)
I don't know.

Oh, yes, you do.

No tricks though,
the house is surrounded.

But, officer, what have I done
to evoke such a forceful display

of civic duty on your part?

Witnesses just saw you
rob the Spiffany jewelry store

of a $100,000 in gems.

- Come along now.
- Impossible, chief.

J.D.'s been here with me
all this while.

[phone ringing]

(Chief)
I'll get it.

Yeah, this is the chief.
What?

J. Dastardly Deeds
was just seen

robbing a bank in Chicago?

And stole the smoked diamond
in Los Angeles?

And hijacked a gold shipment
in Texas?

Wait a minute,
I've heard enough.

There must be a
terrible mistake.

I'm sorry I bothered you,
Mr. Dastardly.

Uh, it won't happen again.
Good day.

It must have been a case
of mistaken identity.

Of course.
Heh-heh, heh-heh, heh-heh.

I'd have to be a cat
with nine lives

to be in all those places.

[meows]

Hm? Hmm.

I wonder if J.D. could be
up to one of his old tricks.

Uh, well, thanks for the tea,
J.D., I must be going, bye.

Drop in anytime, I'll be here.
Heh-heh-heh-heh.

Something tells me I better
keep an eye on this place.

Jumpin' jets.
What's that?

Nice work, fellows.
Bring in the loot.

'Heh-heh-heh.
Very good.'

'Very good.
Aah, excellent.'

How diabolically clever.

Using the secret of
the cats' nine lives

to be in nine different
places at once.

You've all got your
next assignments.

Now, go get me more loot.

- Hold it right there.
- 'It's Atom Ant.'

'Let's get him, fellows.'

[footsteps approaching]

Atom Ant, up and at 'em.

whoosh

bam

'Have you had enough?'

Let's give him the old

locomotive charge.

Chugg-chugga, chugg-chugga

Whoo! Whoo!

I had better derail
this choo-choo.

whoosh

Whoo! Whoo!

thwack

Now, have you had enough?

Atom Ant,
I'll get you for this.

Let's separate and
surround him, men.

Uh-oh, they're going to
attack from all sides.

Here, catch.

thump

I got it, now, you get it.

Uff.

Gotcha.

That's two down
and seven to go.

bam

You missed me.

bonk bonk bonk bonk bonk

That takes care
of number three.

[gunfire continues]

whoosh

Going down.

Going up.

crash

That's number four.

En garde.

Alley-oop.

One..

You're out.

I'll sweep you up
with this vacuum cleaner.

[puffing]

[whooshing]

boom

That's number six.

[laughing]

Stop this if you can.

kaboom

Anything to oblige.

bonk

crash

That takes care of number seven.

And that takes care
of you, Atom Ant.

That's what you think.

Whoa!

thud

Alrighty.

Number nine,
where are you?

(Deeds)
'Here I am, I give up.'

'You win, Atom Ant.'

[crowd cheering]

Atom Ant, since you put

those nine J. Dastardly Deeds
behind bars

you gave us the
best baseball team

this prison has ever had.

Let's go, team.

But don't forge, warden

being on theright team

is more important than winning.

Up and at 'em,
Atom Ant.

whoosh
