S-s-smokin'!

By all accounts, lieutenant,
The Mask is once again a hero.

It seems he foiled
this TV store robbery.

Sure, The Mask is a hero,
like Doyle here

is a world-class ballet dancer.

It's a conspiracy!



Mask, if you're listening,
hear this

your career of evil is over.

I'm going to put you
behind bars before this day is..

Hey!

Wedgie!

[laughing]

Somebody stop me.

Hang onto your eyeballs

'cause we're watching
the big game

on our brand-new
wide-screen TV.

I was right there.
Just had to buy it.

Well, maxed out the credit card.
Still got 17 payments to make.

But, I'll let Stanley
worry about that later.

It's going to be
a perfect day, bow-wow.

Just me, you, a hoagie

and some gut-busting
gridiron action.

(man on TV)
'Welcome, sports fans.'

'Today's big game
promises to be'

'a true clash of the titans.'

[knock on door]

Go away, go away, go away.

Oh, mother of mercy.

[grunting]

[gasps]
I can't afford this.

[knock on door]

Oh, Stanley,
thank goodness you're home.

I've been called
to a meeting downtown.

You wouldn't mind
babysitting baby, would you?

Uh, see, I really, I..

Thanks. You're a lifesaver.
Now, you remember my no-nos?

Don't you? No sweets
and of course, no cartoons.

'Oh, baby will love watching'

the "Barnaby Show"
on your new wide-screen TV.

I didn't know you could afford
one of these on your salary.

I can't.

Barnaby's such
a wonderful role model.

Baby just loves Barnaby.

Hiya, kids.

Welcome to
the funnest, bounciest

most adorable place on Earth.

[laughing]

[crying]

Oh, yeah.
Baby just loves Barnaby.

Oh, baby, I promised mom
you'd watch.

Barnaby's good for you.

Baby, want your bottle?

Ba-ba?

'Ba-ba? Yeah, ba-ba.'

Uh, just let uncle Stanley
make sure it's warm enough.

[screams]

[giggling]

Need ice.

Yum-yum. Yum-yum.

I'm sorry, baby.
Mommy said no sweets.

[crying]

Oh, baby, uh, hey, listen

how about some delicious
creamed succotash instead?

Yes, sir. If he were an adult,
I'd horsewhip him.

Be good, boys and girls,
because Barnaby can see you.

Ow! Okay, okay, baby.

I'll turn it off.
Now, where's the remote?

Oh, baby!

Okay, vertical hold, stereo
boost, modulation rectifier

and darn newfangled sets
don't even have power switches.

[crying]

[howling]

Losing sanity.
Must unplug TV.

Can't reach.

Oh, thank goodness
you're okay.

Not to mention the TV's still..

[screams]

You don't want to do that.

[growling]

Baby, give Uncle Stanley
the mask.

Baby, don't! I still got 17

thud

You've got what you wanted.
Now give me the mask.

[burps]

vroom

Milo, two things
have become painfully clear.

One, baby's going
hog-wild doing everything

mom never let him,
and two...I need pants.

And he, he was like
something out

of a, a monster movie,
I tell you.

Big, big green head,
strength of a giant.

Green head you say?

Yeah, and after he finished
all my ice cream

he...he did this.

Whoa, hey, hey.

Is that a regulation uniform
there, mister?

Doyle, that's obviously the work

of that twisted sociopath,
The Mask.

He's out there somewhere,
and I'm gonna sniff him out.

vroom vroom

Yum-yum.

Well, what have we got here?

(male #1)
'Yum-yum.'

Get a load of this chopper.

Oh, fancy.

You must be a tough guy, eh?

splash splash

Hey!

Time to teach this cheeky
bloke a lesson, boys.

I'd do it myself, except
me back's gone out on me.

He don't look so tough to me.

(male narrator)
And now, these messages.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

What's the matter, you chicken?

Gobble, gobble, gobble.

That's a turkey, you nitwit.

Whatever.

I'm gonna cook his goose.

roar roar

[babbling]

swish

Oh, I-I don't believe it.

slurp slurp

You are one tough bird, you are.

How'd you like
to join up with us?

[babbling]

[dramatic music]

So The Mask is spreading out.

He's got himself a gang now.

Anything else you can tell
us about the green-faced guy?

Yeah. He kept
sucking down ice cream.

Tons of it.

Ice cream, huh?

[upbeat music]

Ow! This stuff's
hurting my cavities.

He eats it. Maybe it'll make
us tough as him.

You got to meet
the new guy, boss.

'A real bruiser he is.'

I look forward to it, Pete.

So let me give you the skinny
on our operation.

We work for Lonnie the Shark

biggest bookie
and loan shark around.

[clanking]

Baby! Oh, thank goodness.

Uh, baby, why don't you
come with me and let these, uh

nice gentlemen get
on with their business, okay?

Who does he think he is calling
us nice gentlemen?

Get him!

vroom

(Stanley)
'Now, fellas, I'll tell ya.'

If you don't stop this,
I'm going to have to report you

to 1-800-How-Am-I-Driving.

And don't you think
I won't do it.

vroom vroom

[instrumental music]

[screaming]

[music continues]

Oh, I sure hope lieutenant
knows what he's doin'.

roar

Grr! Huh?

No ice cream here.

Where you're going,
the bars are made of blue steel

not tutti-frutti, the jig is up.

Mask?

Doyle!

The wire!

Are you sure
he's The Mask, lieutenant?

I mean, he's a skosh small.

I know!

Well, he seems strong,
though, like

you know, maybe a full-sized
mask ought to be.

(lieutenant)
'I know!'

Head is green.

Doyle, the wire!

clang

(Doyle)
'Gee, lieutenant.
He broke the truck with ya.'

vroom

He's gettin' away.

All part of the plan.

With that wire on him, he'll
lead us to the rest of his gang.

Oh, that's great, sir,
uh, just one question.

I-I don't have
to change you or anything

do I, if you make a poo?

Hey, could you watch..

Ah, look who's back.

We took care
of this bloke good.

Bad enough he calls
us nice gentlemen

then he's got the cheeky nerve
to call you baby.

[cell phone rings]

Pete, you know I don't like
to be kept waiting.

Oh, yeah, Lonnie. Right.

Uh, sorry about the holdups.

Uh, had a little roadside
business to attend to.

'Meet you
at the regular place, right?'

'Behind the WEDG TV Studios.'

'We're on our way.'

Doyle, this is bigger
than we thought.

The Mask has ties
to Lonnie the Shark.

We're gonna bust
the whole sick bunch of 'em.

vroom vroom

WEDG TV Studios.
I got to save baby.

Milo, the key.

[panting]

No. No. I said the key.

Milo, Milo, get the key,
the key

so I can open the trunk.

'Attaboy, Milo!'

[starts engine]

Milo?

'The wheel, Milo!
Take the wheel!'

[howling]

Whoa!

Ah!

Waa-ha!

[siren wailing]

Milo!

'Watch where you're going!'

Look out!

That was a doggie driving.

Sure, and I'm
a ring-tailed lemur.

You boys need a ride?

Betsy won't mind.

Relax for a few, boys.
Lonnie will be here any minute.

Hey, put that away.

I been telling Lonnie
you're a tough guy.

How's it gonna look when he sees
you sucking on a ba-ba?

[burps]

Boys, take the ba-ba.

Um, gee, Pete, uh

remember last time when
we messed with his ice cream?

What are you, timid?

I-I'd do it myself if it, uh

wasn't for this crick
in my neck.

Hey, what's this, some kind
of Halloween mask or somethin'?

Oh, that's nothing.

Get a load of him.

[babbling]

I'll never be able
to explain this to Lonnie.

Explain what, Pete?

Uh, I was, um,
e-explaining to the guys

what a genius you are

'coming up with this whole
Barnaby angle as a cover.'

Yes, a first in the annals
of crime, I believe.

[laughing]

♪ Wacka wacka doo ♪

[burping]

What was that?

Uh, oh,
that was me. Indigestion.

[crying]

Pete...explain.

Well, um, he's, uh..

The new guy, boss.

Are you mocking me, Pete?

Do you think my kiddie show
cover is stupid?

Uh, no. No, boss.

You-you make a-a fine dinos--

He's wearing a wire, Pete.

He's not only a baby,
he's a cop.

[laughing]

Barnaby doesn't like cops.

[crying]

(male narrator)
And now, these messages.

[crying]

[screaming]

[instrumental music]

Milo, don't tailgate.
Use your hand signals.

"If you can read this, you've
just passed WEDG TV Studios."

Milo, go left
at the next light, buddy.

I-I mean, right.
Right at the light.

[crying]

Dinosaurs eat brats
like you for breakfast.

[woman screams]

[barks]

Uh, sorry, Lonnie,
it-it's just the heap

with the creep in the trunk.

Wait a second.

You're Lonnie...the Shark?

[laughing]

Never believe
what you see on TV.

Milo!

(The Mask)
Hello, boys.

S-s-smokin'!

[babbling]

Who in blazes are you?

The babysitter.

And you don't ever want
to mess with the babysitter.

What are you waiting for?
Waste him.

Well, here we are,
the good, the bad

and I think we know
who is ugly.

Oh, the-the old
gauntlet maneuver, mates.

vroom vroom

swish

[intense music]

[screams]

My chariot's equipped
with enough features

to make Ben-Hur drool.

I'll take the nipper
as insurance.

[screaming]

Time to punch the clutch.

[screams]

(Pete)
'Me back.'

'For real this time.'

Hey, Barnaby,
10 minutes till show time.

Kidnapping and extortion
are bad enough

but for the crime
of bringing Barnaby

to the children
of this great land

you must pay.

[instrumental music]

[panting]

What?

You want him?
Here. Catch.

Safe!

Keep this kid on a short leash.

No! Stay back!

Must have given
it too much gas.

buzz

Which reminds me..

Hey, where is Barnaby?

He's on in two minutes.

Ooh!

No sign of greenhead.

Good. I'm flying the coop.

roar

No! Don't!

Creamed succotash?

Aah!

[screaming]

[grunting]

That way!

Pete was right.

You are a tough guy.

Alright, Mask, freeze!

You're caught in the act

'of pummeling an honest
television personality.'

Gee, and I always
thought The Mask

was an alright Joe.

'Hey! It's Lonnie The Shark!'

What?

This must mean The Mask is on
our side, huh, lieutenant?

I-I mean, since
we caught him in the act

of pummeling Lonnie The Shark
and what not.

Where is The Mask anyway?

I've got some questions.

[coughing]

Ah..

Lieutenant Kellaway.

Ipkiss? What are you doing here?

Me? Uh-uh, well,
it's-it's an in..

- You see, I, uh..
- I see plenty.

The Mask is here,
then he's gone.

Now you're here.
You know what I call that?

I call that somebody's
got a secret identity.

Well, I've got to..

I..

Okay, lieutenant.
I can't deny it anymore.

'I do have a secret identity.'

'I'll show you.'

'You see, I'm not just
Stanley Ipkiss.'

I'm also..

Barnaby's understudy.

[laughing]

What the..

I'll get you, Ipkiss.

If it's the last thing I do.

Come on! We moved the show
to studio B.

You're on in 10 seconds.

Wait! I mean, wait,
I'm not ready. Whoa, whoa..

This is live TV!

Do something!
