Thug 1: Look at the two lovebirds!
Thug 2: Yeah, let's mess them up!
Thug 3: Yeah, I'm all about that!
Man: You boys move along, you hear? We're just taking the evening and we don't need to be interrupted by The Three Stooges.
The thugs look at each other, then back at the man.
Thug 1: Oh, man, you're toast!
Thug 2: Burnt toast!
Thug 3: I get the girlfriend!
They move toward the man and woman in a menacing way. The man steps in front of the woman, blocking her from the thugs.
Man: I've warned you.
Thug 1: He's warned us.
Thug 2: I'm so scared.
Thug 3: We're gonna hurt you, man! And the girlfriend is mine.
The thugs move even closer. The man looks at them with steely eyes.
The thugs move to attack, but before they get even two steps, the man lifts one of the thugs off the ground as if he were made out of paper and throws him against the other two - they all go crashing to the ground.
Man: That's what you think, butt cheek.
Thug 1 gets up and lunges at the man, but the man hits him, splitting the thug's head in two. Blood gushes everywhere. The other two thugs take off, running down the street.
The man looks at the girl and smiles.
Man: I warned them, didn't I?
Woman: You did. You're something else.
Man: Yes, I'm something else.
They walk down the rain-slicked street as the MAIN TITLE comes up:
THE VENTILATOR
