Yeah.
And one of them smells funky.
Kangor.

I'll be taking your dummy guitars.
You got a problem with that?

- Looks clear, Hyde. - 'Good.'
We don't want to be running into you-know-who again.
Now who could he be talking about?
[pager beeps]
- Uh-oh. - Hey!
- Up there. - Bad timing, pops.
- Agh! - Miss me.

They'll be stuck for a while. I magnetized the doors.
Sorry, I can't stay. But I got a 911 across town.
See ya.
Every time we make a move, he's always there!
Chill, Hyde.
We're out of here, man.

Sharon? Pops call you too? What's going on?
Relax, baby brother. Dad just wants us to meet
an old friend of his, that's all.
That's all? I get an urgent 911 page for that?
Who is it this time?
Another marine buddy?
I'll just bet this dude puts the "B" in boring.
Uh...I don't think so, Virgil.
Kids, I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine..
...Shaquille O'Neal.
Huh?
[giggles]
Good to meet you, Mr. O'Neal.
I'm Sharon.
Good to meet you, too. And it's Shaq.
What's up, little man?
- You must be.. - Shaq.
No, I'm Shaq. You gotta be Virgil.
Heard a lot about you.
[stammering]
This is Shaq! How do you, when it
why do you, you never, you?
I met Shaq at a basketball camp
a while back when he was just about your age.
Yeah, Mr. H was our counsellor.
We used to call him, "The Big Man."
We've been tied ever since.
Shaquille's in town on a publicity junket
for the weekend, but he's volunteered
to do a basketball minicamp while he's here.
'It's gonna be a big surprise for the kids.'
Cool!
So, Virgil, your dad says you got a nice handle.
Ha! The only handle Virgil's got
is attached to the refrigerator.
Zip it, she who dribbles without a ball.
Got some time for a little horse?
Me? Who played up with you? Bet!
No, no, that conflicts with his Good Day Dakota appearance.
No, then he has that radio interview.
Oh, lightbulb!
We can squeeze you in between the mall opening
and the mayor's fundraiser. Say, around 2:00?
That's what I'm here for.
Kiss kiss. Well, enjoy your time.
Tracy Flackman, Mr. O'Neal's East coast Public Relations
liaison. And you must be Mr. Hawking.
- Hawkins. - Yes, of course.
Oopsie. Tracy.
Jared, darling. Where have you been hiding?
'I've been trying to reach you all morning.'
She's a little high-strung.
No, you're not interrupting anything!
We'll be there in 10 minutes. Ciao.
Guess what? They've rescheduled the photoshoot at The Marina.
The whales are available after all.
But Shaq and I were gonna shoot some hoops.
I know.
Shall we?
Sorry, Virgil.
I'm gonna have to rain check our game.
Yeah, sure.
But, hey, I've kept tonight free
for a quiet dinner with friends.
How does that sound?
Chowing down with The Diesel?
Fattest of the fat.
Good. Dinner's at my hotel.
8 o'clock. Catch you tonight.
Man! My dinner with Shaq.
Is it to too late to have Sharon disown?

But, Hyde, I'm starving!
Listen, rodent, the only thing on our to-do list is Stat.
I'm frickin' tired of this.
He's always getting the drop on us.
But this time, we're gonna track him down.
And then we'll have superhero for supper.
Take a whiff.

Let's hit it.

[dramatic music]
(Richie) I still can't believe it.
Face time with Shaq Daddy, The Diesel.
Thanks for the hookup, Mr. H.
Yeah, pops, thanks a lot.
I know that you and Virgil are both big fans.
I'm sure there's enough Shaq to go around.
[Richie laughs] I wonder how he'll sign my poster.
"To Richie, from Shaq."
Na-na-nah, it's weak.
Uh, "From one superstar to another."
One love, The Diesel."
Oh, yeah, I'm feelin' that.
[sniffing]
He's got on a lot of after-shave.
- But he's in there, alright. - Hold on.
We'll go on the side door.

Excuse me, we're here for the O'Neal dinner.
Right this way.

(Virgil) 'Quiet dinner, huh?'
[music continues]
- Hey, guys. - Hey, Shaq!
I'm sorry, this turned into such a big blowout.
What can I tell you? Tracy strikes again.
- Do I know you? - Huh?
I was.. So tall.
Uh, his name is Rich.
He's attached to us like fungus.
Nice to meet you, Rich. Listen, I just got this new
basketball videogame in my suite.
- Wanna check it out? - Yeah!
If we could just sneak out of here.

- Remember we're mingling. - But--

Welcome to Dakota.
[engine revving]
It's believed that the metahumans
crashed Mr. O'Neal's party
in an attempt to rob his high-profile guest.
Though his two cohorts managed to escape
'Ruffpack member Ferret was taken into custody.'
Hey! That's the dude who sniffed on me.
He wasn't robbing the place.
Um, maybe he had a bad head cold.
Nah, it was more like he was hunting somebody down.
Dude was on a serious search mission.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Yes, Tracy?
No, Tracy, I've had my fill
of paparazzi for one night.
But Shaquille
the media are clamoring to hear
how you single-handedly captured
that icky Ferret person.
Gee, I wonder who told him that.
'Now, don't be a crankypants.'
I bet an interview will make you feel better.
How fast can you get here?
Hello? Krrr!
Hello? Krrrr!

I'll-I'll call you tomorrow!

Freedom.
That is, of you don't mind me staying here tonight.
Are you kidding? The night's still young, Shaq!
Oh, yeah! Up for a little two-on-one?
12:00 midnight is not young.
You can play in the morning if Shaq has time.

And you're going home in the limo.

Seems like everyone's after you 24/7.
How can you stand it?
Well, it's like I have to be two people, you know?

then there's fans on my left, press on my right
the coach, the aged, oops! Another fan.

...I break out, find some daylight
and turn back into Shaquille
just your regular 7 foot guy.
