    Kriepenztop pushes the other skinheads out of the way. Hesits down on the floor, opposite to Danica. He mumbles tohimself incomprehensibly.

    Bernard stands up and walks over to Danica. He takes out ablindfold.

    BERNARD (CONT'D)Time for the fun to begin.

    And wraps it around her eyes.

    DANICAWhatre you going to do to me?

    creaking of doors opening as a dark blue light and shadowyfigure with wings enters through the back.

    The doors shut behind. Blackness again, followed by violentnoises inside: BAM! WHAM! SLAM! WHACK! POW!

    Then the place is dropped into silence.

    DANICA (OS)...Hello?

    The man gets to the bar area at the end. He takes a seat onone of the empty stools. The EVIL BARTENDER cleaning theglasses in front of him pauses to look.

    EVIL BARTENDER

    ...That is some costume, buddy.

    The man puts his arm forward onto the counter. The EvilBartenders eyes move along from his hand to his upper-armwhere there is a NAZI SYMBOL on his clothing.

    From the Nazi Symbol his eyes continue to move over to themans face, revealing the man to be -- Adolf HITLER.

    EVIL BARTENDER (CONT'D)What can I get yah?

    NOTE: Hitler ONLY SPEAKS IN GERMAN, except where indicated.

    HITLERA pint of your finest German beer,please.

    EVIL BARTENDERIm sorry. Could you say thatagain? I didnt understand.

    HITLER(slowly)

    A. Pint. Of. Your. Finest. German.Beer.

    EVIL BARTENDERUh?

    Hitler violently bangs his fists down on the counter.

    HITLER(English)

    BEER! BEER! DO YOU KNOW WHAT BEERIS?!

    EVIL BARTENDERI dont know you think you are, youfreak -- but if you pull that crapagain, Im gonna kick your assoutta this bar.

    Hitler punches the Evil Bartender in his face, knocking himflat to the ground. Then he jumps over the counter and startskicking him in the ribs.

    A skinhead with a cue stick named BALDY, goes over to the bar

    and confronts Hitler.

    BALDYHey what the Frick is going onhere?!

    Hitler stops kicking the Evil Bartender. He hops back over tothe other side, he walks toward Baldy with a grimace. Baldysteps back... Then suddenly he swings his cue stick!

    Hitler ducks and grabs the cue stick. He counters with a one-two kick, causing Baldy to careen over in pain. At the sametime another skinhead comes up to Hitler, but this one is

    a lot bigger and stronger; a real hulk of a man.

    CRUSHER, he is holding a bottle of beer in his hand.

    CRUSHERThat was my brother!

    HITLERThe rat shouldve minded his ownbusiness.

    Crusher throws his beer bottle at Hitler. Hitler catches itand takes a swig. He throws it back. As Crusher raises his

    fist in anger, Hitler intercepts him and smashes off the cuestick on his skull.

    Hitler gives Crusher a heavy roundhouse kick, lifts him overhis head and throws him into a table... CRASH!

    Everyone takes notice. They stand up and surround him in asemi-circle. The MOOK in front points his finger.

    MOOKYou cant just come in here andscrew around with our bar!

    HITLERIs that so?

    Hitler spits on the Mooks shoes.

    The Mook charges with the other skinheads behind him. Hitlerreleases his fists of fury, he punches and kicks the on-comers, knocking them out like Chuck Norris.

    The skinheads from the back get up and swarm in. One of themlunges and gets around Hitlers waist. Hitler clamps hishands together and pounds down his fists. At the same time,he dodges a haymaker; he grabs that skinhead and tosses himaside like nothing.

    After knocking off a couple more guys, Hitler marches forwardagainst a line of irate skinheads. He throws wild punches,knocking each down as they try to attack. He gets to the end.

    The last skinhead in the tavern cowers and falls down. Heleans back on his arms and shakes. Hitler dismisses thethreat with a wave of his hand, he walks past and simplyleaves.

    Hitler takes out a LUGER P08 and pulls on the toggle joint.He fires at the case, shattering the glass. He grabs the

    stopwatch and declares...

    HITLERTime to go!

    As Hitler and his men begin to leave, the Angel -- with hisnow charred hair and burnt wings -- is seen following,cautiously skulking between the museum displays.

    He sneaks behind a life-size figure of a Teutonic Knight

    ANGEL(whispers to Knight)

    Forgive me for breaking the 8thcommandment, but I really needthis.

    And borrows its sword and belt.

    When Hitler is within close proximity, the Angel jumps outwith a warriors scream. He swings the Knights sword, butHitler avoids the attack.

    So he tries again.

    Hitler quickly presses his stopwatch. The Angel becomes

    frozen midway in his assault -- almost as if time hasstopped.

    HITLER(looking, amazed)

    It works...

    THIEF #1Its a time stopper.

    THIEF #2Then why arent we frozen too?

    HITLERIt knows... It knows what I want.

    KRIEPENZTOPLets kill im already!

    Kriepenztop takes out a pistol and points it at the Angel. Ashe squeezes the trigger, Hitler double presses his stopwatch.Kriepenztop and the bullet freeze midair.
