THE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY GREEN HORNET

So, for those who don't know, which is EVERYBODY (if ANYBODY even reads this) I do some freelance writing for the American Comedy Network from time to time. They're cool guys, I interned for them for a few months in '07, and since then they've been kind enough to buy some comedy scripts I've written. They produce the bit and send it off to radio stations for their shows.
Thing is, since it's freelance, many of the scripts I've attempted to sell were passed on, as in they "passed" on purchasing and producing the bit, and at that point I either sell said scripts to another comedy network, or said scripts rot in the bowels of Microsoft Word, never being able to spread their comical wings---So, I'll post a reject here---This is time efficient-

THE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY GREEN HORNET

SFX: Generic Superhero music

Announcer: The new world has a new type of Superhero! It’s the Environmentally Friendly Green Hornet!

Deep inside the Green Hornet’s secret lair…

Kato: Alright boss, check out the new rockets on your trademark car, the Black Beauty!

SFX: Explosions, rockets shooting from car

Green Hornet: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Kato- is this car green?

Kato: Of course! The color green is in the headlights and…

Green Hornet: (sigh) No Kato, is it Green? Environmentally friendly? Does it run on hydrogen fuel cells to spare the world of excess pollution?

Kato: No, it runs on Diesel…

Green Hornet: Kato! I won’t even ask you what your Carbon Footprint is! We’re the good guys here, remember? We can’t pollute the air with this mobile!

Kato: Then how will we fight crime?

Green Hornet: Well, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that. Fighting is just negative isn’t it? It puts bad energy into the earth!

Kato: But the Killer Bee Man is on the loose!

Green Hornet: First of all, it’s Killer Bee Person. And second of all, we are certainly not going to harm any bees, no way!

Kato: We have to do something!

Green Hornet: Ok, ok, we’ll go have a gluten free picnic with the Killer Bee Person. That’ll settle things.

Kato: And what about the evil Tree Man…I mean, Tree Person?

Green Hornet: Simple! We’ll give him a hug! But first… we must take out the recycling.

Announcer: The Environmentally Friendly Green Hornet, driving a fuel efficient vehicle to a solar powered movie screen fashioned out of hemp, near you!
