**Lounge Singer:**

It's time to save the world again.

It's time to get the girl again.

It's time to do or die, it's time to stay alive,

It's time to be a spy again.

It's time to dance with Lady Luck,

Be the jury and the judge,

It's time to put on your tux again!

Once a spy, always a spy, forever forever.

The warmest hello to the coldest goodbye,

Remember remember.

Spies never die! Spies are... forever.

**Cynthia Houston:**

Mega! Where the hell are you?

Quit your tomfuckery and get me those nuclear weapon blueprints immediately!

**Owen Carvour:**

Consider it done, Cynthia.

**Cynthia Houston:**

Is that Owen?

Thank God.

**Agent Mega:**

Gotta Go!

**Lounge Singer, sang:**

It's time to buckle up, let's go.

There's an evil power to overthrow.

It's time to show 'em what you got,

Be the hero, take the shot.

Do you want to live, yes or no?

**Lounge Singer:**
It's time to decide who will be saved,

Who do you trust, who do you betray?

Will you live to see tomorrow or die another day?

**Barb Larvernor, spoken:**

Curt, do you read me?

**Agent Mega:**

Barb!

**Barb Larvernor:**

Simply photograph the blueprints with the camera in your watch

and they'll broadcast to my location

**Agent Mega:**

Eh, sounds like a snooze-fest.

**Barb Larvernor:**

Jeepers! Be safe, agents.

**Singer, Owen, and Curt, sung:**

Once a spy, always a spy, forever, forever.

The warmest hello to the coldest goodbye,

Remember remember.

**Lounge Singer:**

Spies never die...

Spies are forever!

**Owen and Curt:**

Spies are forever, spies are forever!

Spies are forever, spies are forever!

**Owen Carvour, spoken**

Pass me one of the charges, love.

**Agent Mega:**

What's our record? Six minutes?

**Owen Carvour:**

I don't like that look in your eyes.

Yes, six minutes.

**Agent Mega:**

Oh, you love it.

Think we can do it in five?

**Owen Carvour:**

Hah! Make it four.

**Agent Mega:**

Attaboy!

Three it is.

**Curt, Owen, and ensemble, sung:**

Spies are forever, spies are forever

**Lounge Singer (Curt, Owen and ensemble):**

Spies! (Spies are forever) Masters of disguise! Gentlemen of lies! (Spies are forever)

Don't you know it's do or die?

**Agent Mega (ensemble):**

It's time to be a spy! (Spies are forever)

**Owen Carvour (ensemble):**

We're running out of time! (Spy!)

We gotta stay alive!

**Agent Mega (ensemble):**

(Spies are forever) All you gotta do is realize! (Spy!)

**Lounge Singer (Curt, Owen, and ensemble):**

You wanna be a spy! (Spies are forever) Gonna be a spy!(Spy!)

Gotta be a spy! (Spies are forever)

**Agent Mega:**

Time to be a spy...

**Owen Carvour**

Forever...

**Lounge Singer:**

It's time to save the world again.

It's time to get the girl again.

It's time to do or die, it's time to stay alive,

It's time to be a spy again.

It's time to dance with Lady Luck,

Be the jury and the judge,

It's time to put on your tux again!

Once a spy, always a spy, forever forever.

The warmest hello to the coldest goodbye,

Remember remember.

Spies never die! Spies are... forever.

**Cynthia Houston:**

Mega! Where the hell are you?

Quit your tomfuckery and get me those nuclear weapon blueprints immediately!

**Owen Carvour:**

Consider it done, Cynthia. *You can expect those blueprints on the double.*

**Cynthia Houston:**

Is that Owen?

Someone who actually knows what the hell they're doing.

MI6 didn't tell me you were on this mission.

**Owen Carvour:**

Well, there's a reason it's called the Secret Service, love.

Curt, behind you!

**(Silenced gun shot)**

**(Choking scream)**

**Cynthia Houston:**

Funny and focused.

Listen, if you ever wanna leave those stuffed shirted red coats you work for--

**Owen Carvour:**

Well, I believe they call that treason, my dear.

**Cynthia Houston:**

Our door is always open.

**Agent Mega:**

Gotta Go!

**Owen Carvour:**

Geez, are you jealous?

You know I'd never work for the Americans.

**Agent Mega:**

Oh, I do know...that you couldn't handle it.

**Owen Carvour:**

Oh, Curt, no, not until we're out of here.

**Agent Mega (Mimicking Owen's accent):**

"Not until the job's done"

**Lounge Singer, sang:**

It's time to buckle up, let's go.

There's an evil power to overthrow.

It's time to show 'em what you got,

Be the hero, take the shot.

Do you want to live, yes or no?

**(Two gunshots)**

**Lounge Singer:**
It's time to decide who will be saved,

Who do you trust, who do you betray?

Will you live to see tomorrow or die another day?

**Barb Larvernor, spoken:**

Curt, do you read me?

**Agent Mega:**

Barb!

**Barb Larvernor**

I...we've all been worried sick.

What did I tell you about turning off your tracker?

**Agent Mega:**

Every man deserves a little bit of privacy.

**Barb Larvernor:**

Sure, but you're not a man.

You're property of the United States Government.

**Agent Mega:**

Barb, focus. What's the plan?

**Barb Larvernor:**
Sorry, simply photograph the blueprints with the camera in your watch

and they'll broadcast to my location a few miles away.

**Agent Mega:**

That sounds boring.

Don't you have some kind of cool gizmo I can use instead?

**Barb Larvernor:**

Fine. Are you wearing the brown shoes I gave you?

**Agent Mega:**

Uh, sure.

**Barb Larvernor:**

The left one is equipped with a rocket blaster.

**Agent Mega:**

Yaass.

**Owen Carvour:**

Your shoes are black, old man.

**Agent Mega:**

Ah, shit. No go on the shoes, Barb.
They didn't match my outfit.

**Barb Larvernor:**

Criminey! Well, it won't be hard to walk you through how the watch--

**Agent Mega:**

We gotta blow this whole facility.

**Barb Larvernor:**

But the watch!

**Agent Mega:**

Barb, send me your coordinates and we'll rendezvous in thirty.

**Barb Larvernor:**

Jeepers! Be safe, agents.

**(Guardrail breaks)**

**Agent Mega:**

Ehh.

What? The whole place is gonna be garbage in a few minutes.

Who gives a shit?

**Singer, Owen, and Curt, sung:**

Once a spy, always a spy, forever, forever.

The warmest hello to the coldest goodbye,

Remember remember.

**Lounge Singer:**

Spies never die...

Spies are forever!

**Owen and Curt:**

Spies are forever, spies are forever!

Spies are forever, spies are forever!

**Owen Carvour, spoken**

Pass me one of the charges, love.

**Agent Mega:**

What's our record?

**Owen Carvour:**

Huh?

**Agent Mega:**

Berlin, last spring.

We made it out of there in, what, six minutes?

**Owen Carvour:**

I don't like that look in your eyes.

Yes, six minutes.

**Agent Mega:**

Oh, you love it.

Think we can do it in five?

**Owen Carvour:**

Make it four.

**Agent Mega:**

Attaboy!

Three it is.

What's the hold up?

**(Beeps)**

**Owen Carvour:**

Well, if we re-lock the safety barricades we can limit the blast.

**Agent Mega:**

We don't have time for this.

**Owen Carvour:**
'
No, Curt. Trust me. You're gonna want to do this, alright?

**Curt, Owen, and ensemble, sung:**

Spies are forever, spies are forever

**Lounge Singer (Curt, Owen and ensemble):**
