just a poor schmoe who got a little<br />

lucky, and sue me if I want to give<br />

a little back. I only wish I could<br />

INT. SEWER BELOW THE STAGE--NIGHT<br />

will ...<br />

EXT. GOTHAM PLAZA--NIGHT<br />

A GARGANTUAN CHRISTMAS PRESENT WITH A COLOSSAL RED BOW<br />

to the big present. Warily.<br />

The alarms on the clocks in the Batman Store window go<br />

off at seven o' clock.<br />

Max drops a present. It lands atop the sewer grate
