3 scenes
ACME Chairman
[to a miserable Wile E. Coyote]

My God, young man, what am I going to do with you?! You've done nothing but screw up! You've walked off of mesas! You've been smashed by boulders! You've been run over by diesel trucks! And don't blame the equipment! The equipment is good; it's ACME equipment. You're a coyote! Be wily! [calms down] All right, now...buck up and let's see a little smile.

ACME Chairman
[Wile E. smiles, briefly and unenthusiastically]

Little bigger.

ACME Chairman
[Wile E. gives a bigger one, this time holding it]

Little bigger.

ACME Chairman
[Wile E.'s smile spreads to a disproportionate size]

Oh, that's nice. Now, just go take a shower, and don't come back till you smell better!

ACME Chairman
[Wile E., now cheered up, heads upstairs] [calling to him]

But be careful! There's some men moving a safe up there, and I don't want you to--

ACME Chairman
[A cartoonish jet-engine, followed by a "crash" sound, is heard] [pause]

And be careful of the box of fireworks, because--

ACME Chairman
[Released fireworks are heard] [pause]

I suppose I should mention the plate-glass window--

ACME Chairman
[Shattering glass is heard] [pause]

It's tough being the boss.

ACME Chairman

Now, this, my friend, is the ACME Train of Death, which is not good news for your father.

Damian Drake

Don't worry about me, son. I've gotten out of worse scrapes than this one.

ACME Chairman
[Wile E. Coyote lights several sticks of dynamite around Damian]

You see, if the Train of Death doesn't kill him, then those crates of TNT will. Not to mention the 2-ton anvil hanging over his head. And— [sees a giant bladed pendulum swinging over Damian] Oh, look. There's the Pendulum of Doom. What's the Pendulum of Doom doing there?! I did not order the Pendulum of Doom! It's overkill! Get rid of it!
[Wile E. sheepishly pulls up the Pendulum of Doom]

ACME Chairman
[coming out]

Are you all monkeys yet? [sees one of the laser beams that shot out of Daffy's nose coming right at him] Uh-oh! [the beam heads straight towards him, and then suddenly disappears in a flash of the beam]

Damian Drake
[D.J., Kate, and Damian arrive to see a monkey with glasses, revealing to be the ACME Chairman in monkey form, next to Mary, who is sobbing]

Checkmate, Mr. Chairman. [holding up tiny handcuffs the size of monkey hands] You're going down. [crouches down in front of monkey Chairman and starts putting the handcuffs on his wrists]
