    FADE IN:

    EXT. ARCTIC RESORT - DAY

    An arctic landscape full of rolling white hills. Snowfalling.

    A giant sign says: WELCOME TO THE SNOWRIBBEAN, CANADASTROPICAL PARADISE.

    There is a picture on the sign of a dancing polar bear in aHawaiian shirt and coconut bikini drinking a margarita on anice flow.

    There is a pole with arrow signs on it:

    YELLOWKNIFE 180 KILOMETRES

    WHITEHORSE 355 KILOMETRES

    CANADIAN TIRE 900 KILOMETRES

    WARM WEATHER 10,000 KILOMETRES

    The NARRATOR sits in a hot-tub surrounded by beautifulBIKINI MODELS wearing ski hats and furry ear muffs. Thetemperature is sub-sub zero. Their breath is freezing. Theirskin is red from the cold and covered in goosebumps.

    Steam rises out of the hot-tub.

    A BIRD flies over head. It SHRIEKS, turns into ice inmid-flight and falls into the hot tube with a splash.

    One of the Bikini Models fishes it out. She bites its headoff and spits out frozen feathers. She rips the bird intoseveral pieces. Hands it out to the other models. They eatit raw. Feathers fly out of their mouths.

    One of them hands a piece of bird to the Narrator, herefuses.

    The Narrator puts on a pair of shades and slicks back hisfrozen hair, brushing ice and snow out of it.

    NARRATOR(putting arms around BikiniModels)

    Citizens of Canada, our archnemesis, the Professor, haskidnapped the Queen of Canada. Onlyone man can save our great nationand its beautiful Queen...

    (to someone off-screen)Cue the music, boys.

    The theme music does not start.

    SOUNDMAN (O.S.)Sorry, eh. The boom box is like

    frozen solid, eh.

    NARRATORRight...Uh, OK...no theme musicthen. No biggie...Doesnt matter.

    (muttering to self)Typical crap Canadian productionvalues... I knew I should havetaken that cruise ship bingo gig.

    (to camera)Lets start over again, shall we?

    The Narrator takes out a mirror, brushes more ice and snow

    out of his hair. The BIKINI MODEL next to him pulls out ahandful of slushy snow from her bikini top.

    She throws it at another model. The models start having asnowball fight.

    NARRATORGirls...Girls, please. Save thatfor the wrap party in my trailer.

    Beat. More snow. More ice. More bone-chilling wind.

    NARRATOR

    (clearing throat, wiping icefrom face)

    Citizens of Canada, our archnemesis, the Professor, haskidnapped the Queen of Canada. Onlyone man can save our great nationand its beautiful Queen...

    (beat, to Soundman)Wheres the the drum roll?

    SOUNDMAN (O.S.)A moose stepped on the drums andcrushed them, eh. Sorry.

    A snowball hits the Narrator in the face. He SIGHS. Brushesoff snow.

    A moose stepped on the drums?

    NARRATORAlright, just forget about it. Wedont need no stinkin drum roll.

    (standing up, looking intocamera)Only one man can save our great andproud snow-covered nation and itsQueen from this grave and presentdanger! Only one man can rescue ourland of the strong and free from amadman so heinous that no one dareutter his name. Only one man, a manwho fears no one and no thing, aman who feels no cold, who feels nopain, who fears no one or no thing.Only this brave man can deliver us

    from the edge of the abyss. Andthis man is...this man is...

    CAMERAMANUh, sorry to interrupt you there,but I just like ran out of film,eh.

    NARRATOR(feeling up Bikini Model)

    Are you freakin serious? ...Oh,screw it. Just roll the tape.

    One of the bikini models unzips her body. Shes not really abikini model. It was just a costume. Shes a POLAR BEAR!

    NARRATOR(flapping arms in panic)

    Aaah! Run! POLAR BEAR! POLAR BEAR!

    The Narrator pushes three Bikini Models into the hot tub ashe jumps out of the tub and runs off into the snowydistance. We notice from behind that he is not wearing aswimsuit. The Polar Bear GROWLS, gives chase.

    INT/EXT. TYPICAL CANADIAN TOWN - MORNING

    A green hockey minivan careening recklessly down the street.The DRIVER drives around a MAN riding a moose... around aWOMAN portaging a canoe with two toddlers in it...around aparade celebrating the donut...past a store advertising asale on Apology Cards.

    4.

    Inside the van in the drivers seat is BYRON BULLARD (akaCAPTAIN CANADA) a regular-looking hockey Dad. With him ishis 11-year old son, Justin. A hard rock song about hockeyPOUNDS out from the stereo. (Chorus: HOCKEY, HOCKEY! SKATEAROUND THE ICE BUT ALWAYS PLAY NICE...)

    Byron and Justin are late for Justins hockeypractice! Byron slams his foot down on the accelerator,driving like a maniac (for a Canadian).

    Each time Byron drives through a stop sign or a yellowlight, makes an illegal turn or cuts someone off, the driverof the offended car always rolls down the window toapologize.

    Beat.

    Blue lights appear behind them. The SIREN of a policecruiser. But the siren and lights are not attached to a car.

    We see that the siren and flashing lights are attached to ahorses rump.

    Byron is pulled over by two MOUNTIES riding a HORSE. Thehorse has snowshoes on its hooves, instead of horseshoes.

    MALE MOUNTIE(leaning on van)

    Good day to you, sir. I apologizefor pulling you over, eh. Do yourealize you were driving a littlefast back there...Not to be afussbudget about it or anything.

    But maybe, you might want to maybewatch your speed if thats alrightwith you, perhaps.

    BYRONMy sons late for his hockeypractice, eh.

    FEMALE MOUNTIEWell why didnt you say so in thefirst place? Well give you apolice escort!

    The Mounties, siren BLARING Canadas National Anthem, escortByrons van through traffic to hockey practice.

    EXT. CANADIAN STREET CORNER - MORNING

    We see a suspicious-looking MAN who is WHISTLING andcontinuously looking over his shoulder as he walks toward apaper box for Canadas largest newspaper, the TORONTO DAILYGOOD CITIZEN. He walks up to the box, touches the top, then

    takes several paces backwards. Repeats this maneuver severaltimes.

    When he is sure no one is looking, he puts his money in thebox and takes out TWO newspapers.

    A WOMAN passing by on a sled pulled by huskies catches himin the act.

    DOG SLED WOMANExcuse me, sir. I dont mean anyoffense but did you pay for boththose newspapers?

    Beat. Sweat pours down his face. His upper lip twitches.

    NEWSPAPER THIEF(nervous, stuttering)

    N-n-no - and I admit it. Youvecaught me, maam. Im guilty. Imso ashamed, eh. Just kill me in mytracks, please.

    The Man holds up both hands, drops one of the newspapers andruns away.

    DOG SLED WOMAN(hysterical)

    Help! Help! Thief! Someone call theauthorities...Oh, please, please,someone do something! A man hasbroken the law!

    The WOMAN starts to cry. Beat. A passing GOOD SAMARITAN onsnowshoes slides over to help her. He sticks his finger intothe air.

    GOOD SAMARITANI know what to do. Ill call...Captain Canada!

    The Pedestrian walks into the middle of traffic. Every carwithin 25 feet instantly skids to a stop on the icy roadway,tires SQUEALING. A nearby DRIVER rolls down his window.

    7/42

    6.

    DRIVERMay I help you, sir?

    GOOD SAMARITANCan I borrow your cell phone? Itsan emergency!

    The windows of all the stopped cars roll open. A dozen cellphones come flying at the the Good Samaritan.

    EXT. SMALL TOWN HOCKEY ARENA PARKING LOT - MORNING

    The Mounties on the horse escort Byrons van safely tohockey practice. The Mounties wave at Byron and his son asthey trot away.

    MALE MOUNTIE(patting horse, to Byron)

    You have a good one, eh.

    EXT. ARENA ENTRANCE - CONTINUOUS

    Byron and Justin standing in front of the entrance withJustins enormous hockey bag.

    BYRON(to son)

    Now Justin, remember what I toldyou.

    JUSTINYes, Papa. Always be a goodsportsman, even in defeat. Alwaystreat you opponent like you wouldwant to be treated. Never spit,swear or ignore the ref or thecoach. And be true to yourself.

    BYRONAnd...

    JUSTIN(jumping up and down)

    If a player on the opposing teamthrows his weight around, suckerpunch him in the gut, then pummelhim over and over in the face untilhis nose bleeds all over hisuniform. And if the ref stillhasnt broken it up yet, kick himwhere it hurts the most.

    8/42

    7.

    BYRONAnd where is that, son?

    Justin runs up to his father and kicks him between the legs.Byron falls over in a heap. He reels on the ground in pain.

    BYRON(struggling to speak)Good... boy... eh.

    Beat. Justin doing victory dance.

    BYRON(blushing with pride)

    My little boys a man now... Son,youll make the pros one day if youkeep this up!

    A BEEPING comes from Byrons dashboard. A light flashes red

    and white - the colors of the maple leaf!

    BYRONGadzooks! Its the maple leafsignal! Somewhere in this snowy,northern ice-covered land of ours,from unpopulated coast to coast,from frozen shining sea to sea,Captain Canada is needed!

    JUSTINBut what about hockey practice,Papa? Youre the coach this week.

    BYRONWhat?

    JUSTINAll the fathers drew icicles andyou drew the smallest one.Remember?

    BYRONOh, yeah.

    (Turns to camera)This is a toughie, eh.

    Byron sits down on the pavement, with his hand on his chin.Deep in thought. Out of the corner of his eye, he seesJustin looking down at him like he is about to sucker kickhim again. Byron puts his hands over his crotch.

    8.

    BYRON(standing up)

    Sorry, son. Someday when youreolder, youll understand. Dutycalls.

    JUSTIN

    You have to pee, too?

    BYRONWell, now that you mention it...But thats not what I was talkingabout, eh. I must take leave tohelp a fellow citizen of Canada indistress...Captain Canada to therescue, eh!

    Byron attempts to rip his clothes off (his Captain Canadauniform is underneath).

    He gets his pants and shoes off. He is wearing white bootsand red tights with a pair of goalie pads.

    In his hand a goalie blocker magically appears. On it is hislogo: The Maple Leaf with a clenched fist.

    But... the zipper on his heavy down-filled winter jacket isstuck. He yanks and yanks. It wont budge. He cant get intothe top half of his uniform!

    BYRONJustin, please get me a bar of soapfrom the locker room. Thank you

    very much, eh.

    Beat.

    Justin brings him an ice-covered bar of soap. Byron rubs thesoap on the zipper track. A few beats. He gets his jacketundone. He rips his jacket and sweater off to reveal a redbodysuit (he has a noticeable pot belly) as well as a cape -both with his logo on them. The name "CAPTAIN CANADA" isalso on his cape.

    There is a hockey captains "C" on his chest.

    Byron/Captain Canada holds his goalie blocker up above hishead. His logo lights up the sky, emblazing the air directlyabove his head.

    His hair starts to smoke.

    He puts out the fire in his hair with a handful of snow.

    CAPTAIN CANADA(pumping fist)

    I am off... to fight crime the onlyway I know how, the Canadian way-with a wink, a smile and a goodword! CAPTAIN CANADA TO THE RESCUE,

    eh!

    Captain Canada pauses.

    CAPTAIN CANADABut first... a beer and baconbreak.

    Captain Canada cracks open a beer and stuffs bacon into hismouth. His face is all greasy. Beer runs down his chin andfreezes there.

    INT. OFFICE OF PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA - MORNING

    The PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA, RED TORY, practicing hisslapshot in the corner of his office.

    One of his shots misses the goal and sails through a window.The puck breaks the glass cleanly and falls into traffic.The SOUNDS of a car accident: squealing tires, horns honkingand metal hitting metal.

    DRIVER (O.S.)(yelling up to Prime MinisterTory)

    Apologies, Mr. Prime Minister, sir.My fault, sir. Ill try not todrive into your slapshots in thefuture, sir.

    TORY(out window to driver)

    Apology accepted, eh. Please givethe puck to you son, bud.

    (to aid)Donny, send that fine, upstandingman a years supply of back bacon!

    DONNYYes, sir, Mr. Prime Minister, sir.

    Donny rushes out of the office, almost knocking over theCHIEF of the RCMP, SERGEANT GENERAL GUILLEMETTE. He walksinto the room along with several stern looking INTELLIGENCEOFFICIALS.

    10.

    TORYAnd, Donny? Get me some donutswhile youre out. The ones I like,with the little red sprinkles onthem...And make sure no bluesprinkles, eh. I hate the blue

    ones! They make me feel American.

    DONNY (O.S.)Yes, sir. Sorry, sir.

    Guillemette salutes Prime Minister Tory.

    GUILLEMETTESir, something terrible hashappened. We found this...

    (holds up Beta videotape)at the scene of her abduction, eh.

    TORY(mouth full of putine)

    Whos ab- what?

    GUILLEMETTEJust watch the tape, sir.

    TORYStick it in the Beta player, bud.

    Guillemette puts the videotape into a top-loading early 80sBeta VCR. A videoscreen drops down from the ceiling, hittingINTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL #1 in the head. He rubs his bruised

    head.

    TORY(hollering into hallway)

    Donny, get this man some ice!

    DONNY (O.S.)Right away, sir.

    Donny enters. He sticks his arm out of the broken window,catching a handful of snow. He huffs on the snow and rubs itaround in his hands. He sticks his hand back outside. Heopens his hand. Inside is a perfectly formed ball of ice. Hegives it to the hurt man who rubs it on his bruised head.

    TORY(to Donny)

    Nice one, eh.(to Guillemette)

    Sergeant General what seems to bethe problem? Were not about to

    TORY (contd)experience another beer shortage,are we? I dont think we can takeany more.

    (wiping away tear)The last one almost ripped apart

    the fabric of this great nation.

    GUILLEMETTEMr. Prime Minister, I implore youto watch the tape. We need to actfast... before its too late.

    TORY(points outside)

    But, its snowing out. Cant thiswait?

    GULLEMETTE

    Its always snowing!

    Everyone LAUGHS heartily. Tory holds his belly.

    Guillemette presses PLAY on the Beta VCR. One thevideoscreen we see an aerial of an ice castle in The Yukon,THE PROFESSORs lair!

    CUT TO:

    THE INSIDE OF THE ICE CASTLE

    The Professor is standing next to a blackboard filled withCanadian history facts and stats. The QUEEN of CANADA issitting in a school desk, tied up to the chair with hockeytape.

    THE PROFESSOR(writing on blackboard withchalk)

    As I was saying... In 1876, inwhats known as the Pacific PubScandal, Prime Minister Macdonaldresigned after accusations that heaccepted a bribe in exchange forallowing an acquaintance to keephis bar open past 5:30 pm.

    The Queen yawns. She has a sleepy look on her face. Her eyesare all glazed over. Her head tilts to one side. Shestruggles to stay awake. The Professor LAUGHS maniacally.

    CUT TO:

    12.

    THE PRIME MINISTERS OFFICE

    The videoscreen malfunctions, rolling back up into theceiling. Guillemette pulls it back down, but it goes back upagain. This repeats several times.

    TORYWho is this dastardly moose andwhat does he want?

    INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL #2Sir, if I may...

    (spreads out dossier on desk)The Professor is the most evil mindto ever come from our great land!

    TORYMore evil than the guy who inventednon-alcoholic beer?

    INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL #2Ok. The second most evil mind.

    TORYWhat about that woman who inventedtofu bacon?

    DONNYTo-bacon is quite tasty, eh. Andits cholesterol free!

    Everyone gives Donny dirty looks.

    INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL #2Im afraid so, sir. The Professorlulls his helpless victims into adeep trance-like sleep by lecturingthem on Canadian history.

    The Prime Minister gasps.

    INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL #1Eventually, they enter a permanentcomatose state, eh.

    TORYNo! You cant be serious.

    INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL #1Dead serious, eh.

    Guillemette finally gets the videoscreen down.

    14/42

    13.

    GUILLEMETTE(presses PLAY)

    Watch the rest of the video, sir.

    On the videocreen, we see The Professor is scrawling TENMINUTE BREAK on the blackboard. The Queen of Canada is fast

    asleep and SNORING away. Her tongue hangs out of her mouth.There is frozen drool on her chin.

    TORYNo! Hes killed her! Hes killedthe Queen! Hes going to have a lotof apologizing to do when I get myhands on him!

    INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL #1Shes not dead,sir. At least notyet. Shes just in a deep, deepsleep. But we must do something.

    GUILLEMETTEIf we dont get to hersoon...Shell be back bacon.

    THE PROFESSOR(turning to camera)

    I hope you liked my little historylesson, mes amis...Now for mydemands. And, no, Im not talkingabout back bacon. I hate thatstuff. It clogs the arteries.

    Everyone in the Prime Ministers office GASPS.

    The videoscreen goes momentarily blank. When the picturecomes back on, The Professor is standing on the roof of hisice palace, next the Queen of Canada whos sleeping on anice bed. Before him is a giant two-ton ice melter that lookssimilar to a giant laser.

    Everyone in the room goes totally silent. You could hear apin drop. A CANADA GOOSE waddles into the office, HONKSseveral times, jumps onto the windowsill, HONKS, flies outthe window. A BEAVER waddles into the office, flaps itstail, takes several bites out of a leg of the PrimeMinisters wooden desk chair, jumps out the window.

    They all stare at the giant ice melter on the video screen.

    TORYMen, in your best estimation, isthat a giant laser?

  • 8/6/2019 Captain Canada- Attack of the Giant Ice Melter

    15/42

    14.

    THE PROFESSORI bet youre wondering if this is agiant laser, Mr. Prime Minister.Well, let me assure you that it isnot. Giant lasers are illegal inCanada and as a Canadian, I wouldnever break the law.

    (throws head back, laughs)No, what I have before me is moresinister than that a laser, moredastardly than any weapon onearth... Its the worlds largestice melter!

    The Prime Minister covers his eyes, cowers in his chair. Theleg that the beaver chewed snaps and the Prime Ministerfalls to the floor.

    TORYNo! It cant be.

    DONNYWas that the ice melter on salelast weekend at Canadian Tire?

    Everyone shoots Donny dirty looks.

    THE PROFESSORAnd now for my demands... I wantone billion American dollars inunmarked bills. I want the moneydelivered by carrier beaver to POBox 12, Snow City, Yukon within thenext 48 hours...If my demands arenot met, Ill deliver my lecture onthe history of Canadian oilpainting...

    (pinches queens face)...to your cherished Queen. Shellnever survive. Never! BWAHAHAHAHA!

    The wind HOWLS. A torrent of snow begins to fall. The screenis almost all white. We can barely make out The Professor.

    THE PROFESSOR

    Darn! Wheres my squeegee?

    THE PROFESSOR wipes off the camera lense with a fur glovedhand.

    THE PROFESSOR(peering into lense)

    Oh, and I almost forgot. Every hourthat I do not receive my money, I

    15.

    THE PROFESSOR (contd)will melt one Canadian landmarkwith my giant ice melter...Heres alittle demonstration for you.

    The Professor climbs into the seat of the ice melter andaims off into the distance. The Queen of Canada reaches her

    hand out, as if to try to stop him. But she is much tootired to do anything.

    THE PROFESSOR(laughing maniacally)

    Say goodbye to Canadas most famousheritage site, chums... MountRushmore!

    The Professor rotates the ice melter and aims it high intothe air - a flame shoots out of it.

    The picture changes on the videoscreen. We see Canadas

    Mount Rushmore. Its a giant ice covered peak, featuring icecarvings of the faces of the three members of Rush, GeddyLee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart.

    A huge flame descends from the sky, instantly melts the icymountain. Just bare earth remains.

    THE PROFESSORRemember, gents, 48 hours. Or theQueen gets it. And now, off tobrush up on my history texts. Untilnext time.

    More crazed cackling from The Professor.

    The videotape abruptly ends.

    INT. PRIME MINISTERS OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

    All present in the room recoil in shock. One thevideoscreen, a cooking show about preparing moose burgersbegins playing.

    TORY

    (drinking a beer with a curlystraw)We must do something, eh. We haveto save our Queen and ourcountry... I know, we need tocontact our bravest and strongestsuperhero...Donny!

    Donny enters the room.

    17/42

    16.

    TORYDonny, get the superhero files, onthe double.

    Donny puts several thin files on the Prime Ministers desk.

    DONNY

    Already here, sir.

    Guillemette and the two Intelligence Agents go through thefiles.

    Beat.

    GUILLEMETTE(flipping through dossiers)

    Lets see here... Grizzly Bear Manmoved to Gotham City... Beaver Girlleft for Metropolis... The Fonduetook a job protecting Astro

    City...Blue Trout is currentlyserving a sixteen year sentence forinciting a drunken hockeybrawl...Ice Man is busy keepingLondon safe from Spring HeeledJack...and Arctic Fox froze todeath during a summer ice storm.

    TORYIs that it? Have all oursuperheroes moved to America andEngland to seek fame and fortune?

    GUILLEMETTEIm afraid its the dreadedsuperhero brain drain, Mr. PrimeMinister, sir. Were doomed.

    There is only one dossier left. Guillemette tries to hide itunder the others. Tory spots it.

    TORYWhat about that one? Under theother folders.

    GUILLEMETTENo, eh. You dont want to see thatone, sir.

    TORYYes, I do. Let me have it.

    Tory grabs it from Guillemette. He opens it, reading outloud.

    TORYCaptain Canada... Captain Canada...Yes, hes the one who will save our

    Torys stomach gurgles. He checks his maple leaf watch.

    TORY(rolling up sleeves)

    Donny, its gonna be a late night.Bring us some mugs of steaming hotmaple syrup and some back bacon.

    DONNY(saluting, clicking heels)

    Yes, sir, eh.

    EXT. CANADIAN STREET CORNER - DAY

    Captain Canadas hockey van slams into the curb. He jumpsout. The Dog Sled Woman is sitting on her sled weeping. HerDOGS have their tales between their legs and their headsdown. The Good Samaritan grabs the Dog Sled Woman by theshoulder and points to Captain Canada.

    GOOD SAMARITANCaptain Canada, youre here. Andwith no time to spare!

    Several CARS speed to a stop.

    Captain Canada throws his cape over his shoulder and runstoward the Thief.

    GOOD SAMARITAN(covering eyes)

    Captain Canada, watch out for thatpatch of ice.

    INT. PRIME MINISTERS OFFICE - NIGHT

    An insane blizzard envelops everything in sight. A galeforce wind HOWLS like mad. It is an almost completewhiteout. Several beats.

    We move back to reveal that the storm is on a television inthe Prime Ministers office.

    Prime Minister Red Tory and his aid, Donny, sit in hisoffice drinking steaming mugs of maple syrup watching the TVstorm. They are wearing bibs featuring the maple leaf. Torydunks an enormous strip of bacon into his maple syrup, chewsLOUDLY.

    DONNYSnowstorm IV is ok, but I kindapreferred Snowstorm III better, eh.

    19.

    There is a KNOCK at the door. Torys secretary walks incarrying a huge dial phone - the curly cord trails behindher down the hallway. The cord is not quite long enough. Shehas to yank on the phone to get it to the Prime Minister. Hestretches his arms to take it from her. He is forced to leanover his desk to pick it up.

    SECRETARYIts Sergeant Guillemette on thephone, sir. I think he has news ofCaptain Canadas whereabouts, sir.

    TORYHello, eh? This is Tory, bud.
