AGENT ROTH (CONT'D)<br />

to America in 1937 at <strong>the</strong> request<br />

of <strong>the</strong> eccentric Scottish-born<br />

ma<strong>the</strong>matician, Edward McKay<br />

Willoughby, to do research.<br />

A slide of <strong>Buckaroo</strong>'s wild-haired GRANDFATHER appears, with<br />

his arm around his young daughter, Sandra.<br />

AGENT ROTH<br />

Masado meets and falls in love with<br />

Willoughby's daughter, <strong>the</strong> negative<br />

mass propulsion <strong>the</strong>orist Dr. Sandra<br />

SECRETARY OF DEFENSE<br />

I didn't come here to hear any damn<br />

love story, boy.<br />

AGENT ROTH<br />

Yes, sir.<br />

(clears throat)<br />

I'm just trying to give a thorough<br />

background here, Mr. Secretary.<br />

<strong>Banzai</strong>'s parents stayed in Nagasaki<br />

until 1941, when <strong>the</strong>y fled due to<br />

<strong>World</strong> War II. <strong>Banzai</strong> publicly<br />

killed during one of <strong>the</strong>se<br />

experiments in Texas on August 31,<br />

Sir Alan Motley. Their four-year<br />

old son witnesses <strong>the</strong>ir deaths.<br />

sabotage, possibly ordered by Hanoi<br />

Xan.<br />

This is met with dead silence. Everyone in <strong>the</strong> room is ei<strong>the</strong>r<br />

skeptical or uneasy about <strong>the</strong> mere mention of this name.<br />

AGENT ROTH<br />

However, information on this man is<br />

classified even to this department.<br />

Unless you read <strong>Banzai</strong>'s comic<br />

books, which are full of classified<br />

information. The CIA is pretty<br />

pissed about that, actually, but--<br />
