For two despicable desperadoes!

Oh, gizmoduck.

Hmph!

What a joke.

It makes me laugh.

I'd like some understanding

From the citizens

For whom I risk my neck.

I only want respect.

I'm just misunderstood.

You're mysterious.

You're the terror that flaps.

But no one's sure why I flap.

The police think I'm a crook.

You've got an image problem.

Good thing I'm your daughter.

This requires a Complete image makeover.

I like my mysterious image.

But you need an image That the people want.

What I need is an Image the people want!

Why didn't I think of that?

Why are we waiting?

Let's get creative.

O.K., dad. Take it from the top.

I'm the terror that Flaps in the night.

I'm the pit bull

That bites the ankle of crime.

I am darkwing duck!

Pretty darned Effective, I'd say.

You have zero profile

As the current darkwing duck.

You've got no spin.

I'm a spinnin' fool.

Just watch me!

Aha!

Nope. The smoke's got to go.

The cape's just not happening.

No blue smoke? No capie?

Smoke doesn't skew well With those 18 to 49.

Ecology concerns, You understand.

Capes are old hat with The over-65 crowd.

I knew that.

Lose this.

Not my hat!

There's lots to do, dad.

There's no time to waste.

Let's check out the wardrobe.

Nice. Major, high-profile suit!

Isn't it kinda frilly?

Gos wanted ruffles.

Ruffles are big With elderly ladies.

Granny will be thrilled.

Instead of your smoke Bomb, try these.

Flower petals?

81.6% of the people Regard flower petals

As 100% nonthreatening.

Make your entrance again.

We'll prompt ya.

Oh! Yeah.

Oh, help! Bad guys are around me.

Hyah!

No, no, no. Too brash!

Be empathetic, appealing.

Ahem.

I am the terror...

Good.

Flutters.

I am the good that flutters?

I am the good that Flutters in the night...

No, day!

I am the good that Flutters in the day?

It skews!

It'll play in peoria, maybe even st. Canard!

Oh, really? You think so, huh?

Well, then, let's get...

Respectable.

Uh, right.

Respectable.

You think "The swan of peace"

Is better than "Ratcatcher"?

Think about your image.

People want a helpful hero.

Let's put it in the ground And see who digs it.

That's the marketing Spirit, dad!

It's time to take The new darkwing duck

To his public.

There!

I have to help an old Lady across the street?

Cliches are cliches For a reason!

You got to be helpful.

Oh, well... If I have to.

Ahem.

Excuse me, ma'am.

May I be helpful?

Stop! Halt! Brake!

[horns honk]

How about playing Some dodgeball?

Hey! I'm game.

We'll have to invite This guy back again.

Sure! Why not?

I love getting Down with the kids.

[launchpad] That Crane's gonna topple!

What's the big idea?

I left it in my other pants.

Hey, nice bag.

Gimme that!

Gimme!

Gimme!

Ouch.

Why, you...

Darkwing, don't forget the Nonviolent contingent survey!

Huh? Oh, yeah.

Poor misguided soul.

I'm going to tell your Mother about this.

[gulp]

My mother? You wouldn't.

Oh, wouldn't I?

Oh, please, please don't.

Here's your bag of petals, sir,

You helpful, Trustworthy people protector.

If you promise to Change your ways,

We'll keep this infraction Of justice between us.

I promise. I kiss your feet. Thank youse.

My, he is helpful after all.

Hey, he's not so scary.

What's a lousy building

Compared to a people protector?

Yay! Yay! Yay!

How about, "I'm the gold At the end of the rainbow?"

Brilliant. That's the spirit.

What's my schedule for tomorrow?

Ahem. Breakfast at 7:00...

I don't get it.

The rainbow end's gold?

No. When will you have time

For stopping the bad guys?

Once the st. Canard criminal element Trusts the new darkwing duck,

Crimes will stop multiplying.

Divide and conquer. It adds up!

My math's terrible.

I've always hated everything That guy stands for,

But now that goody-two-shoes Has really done it!
