(CARS HONKING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Come on, slowpoke. We don't want to be late.
What's the big deal?
Who is this Cassidy, anyway?
Only the hottest singer in the world, Bruce.
What cave have you been hiding in? Everyone who's anyone will be here.
Ugh!
- Bruce? - Barbara.
I didn't know you were into Cassidy.
Shannon thought I should see what all the buzz is about firsthand.
And from the front row.
(GIGGLES)
GARFIELD: I remember when you used to dress like that for me.
Gar, we have a show to put on, remember?
Don't worry, Cass. I won't disappoint you.
My job is the only thing I care about now.
Let it go, Garfield.
Whatever you thought we had is as cold as a burned-out fuse.
Hey, you're the expert on burning people, you little tramp.
And if you think I'm going to step aside like one of your pretty boys-
(GARFIELD GRUNTING)
Okay, that's it. It's your last show. You heard that, Frank?
Cut him a check. He's out.
I honestly thought we could have a working relationship,
but I guess I was wrong.
You've been wrong about everything.
Especially me.
(CROWD CHEERING)
MALE EMCEE: And now, Gotham, give it up for Cassidy!
(CROWD CHEERING)
(SINGING) My cheeks are hot My lips are burning.
The flames of love dance in my eyes
I've got just one last word of warning Play with me and you play with fire.
Fire! Fire!
Play with me and you're playing with fire.
Fire!
(GROWLS)
(GROANS)
Told you this would be good.
(ROCK INSTRUMENTAL SONG PLAYING)
(CROWD SCREAMING)
Hey, where's the band going?
(SCREAMING CONTINUES)
Lynns! What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
(GRUNTS)
Maybe.
(CASSIDY SCREAMS)
(STAGE CRASHES)
(FIRE ROARING)
(SHANNON SCREAMING)
We gotta get out of here!
(SPARKS IGNITING)
(GRUNTING)
Hi, I'm a big fan.
Good girl.
Lucky you were here.
Sometimes it pays to get the cheap seats.
(POLICE SIRENS IN DISTANCE)
BULLOCK: Garfield Lynns!
Open up! Police!
Ooh-Ooh...
This guy's got it bad. Vincenzo, get some pictures.
I'm gonna check the fridge.
Yeah, there's a lot of evidence in there, Detective.
Shut up.
GARFIELD: Yes, you were wrong, Cass.
And I'll show you how wrong you were. I'll show them all.
I'm glad you decided to do the opening.
CASSIDY: Well, I did sink money into the club,
and we can't disappoint my public twice in one week.
You won't wearing that.
(DOOR KNOCKING)
Fan mail from some flounder?
"The star that burns brightest, burns fastest."
(GASPS)
(GROANS)
MALE EMCEE: Welcome to Rock City.
(CROWD CHEERING)
I'm Howlin' Jake, and we're gonna be partying all night long.
But first, let me introduce some special guests.
"Soul Man Supreme" Sam Fryer.
- All right. All right. - Hey, Sammy.
Action superstar, Trent Wallace.
(CROWD CHEERING)
And the one, the only, the incomparable, Cassidy.
(CROWD CHEERING)
Stay with me, babies, because I got the hottest show in town.
You said it.
(CROWD SCREAMING)
Feel the burn.
Three muggers, two armed robberies, it's been a quiet evening.
(INDISTINCT SCREAMING)
The night's still young.
Hey, you. Stop!
(GRUNTS)
You used to wear that dress for me, babe.
Gar?
(GRUNTS)
Batman.
(CASSIDY SCREAMING)
This way. Quickly.
You can't dodge me forever.
- No! - Whoever you are, it's over.
The name's Firefly.
What?
Sorry. Gotta fly.
(GRUNTING)
- Batman, are you all right? - I'll live.
FRANK: I got two men in the lobby, one on the roof,
- two out front and one in the stairwell. - Thanks, Frank.
Gotta earn my 15%, right?
Get some sleep, Cass. I checked the whole place myself.
It's locked tight. You'd have to be Houdini to break in.
(KISSES)
(GASPS)
You.
- Why is Firefly after you? - You're not one for small talk, are you?
I guess he's sort of carrying a torch for me.
We dated for a while.
Couple of dinners, a concert. You know, that sort of thing.
- He just didn't know when it was over. - Still doesn't.
That's why you gotta protect me. You're the only one who can.
I'll make it worth your while.
I'm not for hire.
Sorry. It's just that I'm so scared.
I hate the idea of being all alone.
Creep.
So Dad's got me registering items they found in Lynns' apartment.
And guess what? There's an invoice
- to an address on the east side of town. - BATMAN: Interesting.
What are you doing tonight?
The same thing we do every night, Pinky.
- What? - Never mind.
No one's home.
Flash caps, napalm, accelerants. This guy's a serious firebug.
Let's see what other dirty little secrets he's hiding.
No!
(SCREAMING)
Okay, okay. Let's take it again from bar 34.
Come on, Cass. We're already into double overtime.
I got the limo waiting. If you're worried about Firefly-
Can it, Frank! You wanna earn your 15, wake up these zombies.
You heard the beast. Bar 34.
- Do you smell smoke? - Yeah.
(SMOKE ALARM BEEPING)
(couemue)
Frank!
Get out of there, Cass. Now.
Everyone, move it!
(couemue)
Where is she? Come on!
- (SMOKE ALARM BEEPING) - (CONTINUED COUGHING)
Come on.
(CASSIDY CONTINUES COUGHING)
Are you sure this is the right way?
Positive.
(SCREAMING)
(CONTINUED COUGHING)
- Call the fire department. - I don't think that's necessary.
Someone put smoke bombs near the air units.
Cassidy!
Stand back!
- There's no way out. - We'll have to make one.
Hurry!
(SCREAMING)
Baum“.
(GASPS)
(WINGS FLAPPING, SCREECHING)
There. Not the most attractive shade, but it's only temporary.
All I want is another shot at Flyboy.
(WINCES)
I think you've put out enough fires for one night, my dear.
Keep an eye on her.
I've gotta find Firefly before he strikes again.
I'm afraid you're a tad late.
- It's been all over the news. - Where's Cassidy?
Was it Lynns? The public needs to know.
Let me ask...
No, no. We haven't heard anything since the abduction.
We have no idea where she is.
But I might.
Ahem.
Forgive me for being so forward, sir,
but do you really want to go out in public like that?
I was thinking of something a bit more durable.
(EFFORT GRUNTS)
Come on, Garfield. This is crazy.
(ELECTRIC DOOR OPENING)
(BEEPING)
We can work this out. We could find a way.
Talk is cheap, Cass.
Think the police will be as forgiving as you?
I want you to watch something.
I developed this gel that will burn through anything.
Even ice.
(BUBBLING)
What are you gonna do?
Pour the gel down into the sewers of Gotham.
After it's spread throughout the city, I'll ignite it with a firebomb.
And while Gotham goes up in flames, you and I will disappear...
- like a puff of smoke. - You can't.
Of course I can.
Now it's your turn to sit back and enjoy the show.
(GRUNTS)
- Let her go. - I burned you once, Batman.
I can do it again.
No!
Give it up, Lynns.
(GROANS)
(WHIRRING)
Gotham will burn tonight. But first...
I'm going to snuff you out like a candle!
(CONTINUED GRUNTING)
(WHIRRING)
(CASSIDY YELPS)
The gel! No! It's too soon.
(SCREAMING)
(GRUNTING m PAIN)
Man, if you were hot before,
this Firefly thing has shot you through the roof.
Of course, I'm sorry it happened. I know it was a terrible ordeal.
Get off it, Frank. You know me, I'm a survivor.
Good. Because I got some ideas for a new tour.
(GASPS)
New arrangements, new backup. We'll call it "The Heat Wave."
Or "Firestorm." Something like that. What do you think? Cass?
Did you hear me, Cass? Cassidy?
