INT. TRAKKER MANSION - DINING ROOM
Matt, Gloria, Dusty, Alex, and Brad are seated at the dining room table, finishing up dinner.
MATT
I hope you all have enjoyed your evening.
BRAD
You sure do know how to put on a spread; I'll give you that.
GLORIA
I'm stuffed!
DUSTY
Woo! Me too! I'm gonna be disappointed, having to go back to the pizza shop!
All laugh.
MATT
Thank you, everyone. Well, the reason why I asked Mr. Hayes to join us tonight was not to appeal to his stomach, but to ask for his help.
DUSTY
My help? What kind of help?
MATT
We need your unique skills with a team we are putting together. But whether you help us or not, I'm asking that whatever is said here, you'll keep it strictly confidential.
DUSTY
I understand.
ALEX
Dusty, we are beginning an endeavor, the likes no one has ever attempted. You might call it a covert response unit.
DUSTY
What like, Batman?
(Looking at Matt, chuckling)
Do ya'll have a Bat cave?
BRAD
(With a serious look)
Actually, we do.
DUSTY
(In excitement)
Seriously?! Well dadgum!
(Chuckling)
Are you looking for a Robin?
GLORIA
Close, but not quite. We are just in the beginning stages and are working with some incredibly advanced technology. We need someone we can trust, who also has a unique skill set.
DUSTY
So what do y'all need from me?
MATT
Your overall responsibilities, while employed at Trakker Oil, were the refinery systems...
DUSTY
Yes.
MATT
I'm not asking you to sacrifice your restaurant or even change your schedule. However, what we are requesting is any available time you can provide to help support us.
BRAD
As a team, we will be at the forefront of defending this country and support authorities against large threats.
ALEX
This will be quite an undertaking, my boy. Matt's vision is that we continue to work our normal jobs, hiding in plain sight. When events arise, we rendezvous at our base and move quickly into action with our assets.
DUSTY
Assets? You mean...
MATT
(Interrupts)
It's better if I show them to you. Let's just say, illusion will be our ultimate weapon. So, what do you say?
DUSTY
I got one word for ya. Yeeeeeeehaw! I'm in!
Everyone chuckles at Dusty's reaction and then they all get up from the table.
MATT
Let's go for a ride.
