SCENE 1 | Gordon sits on the steps talking to two kids about clean and dirty. Gilian has lost a tooth, so he needs to keep his new ones clean, and Cedric is wearing dog tags that he's kept shiny, so they know about keeping things clean. Gordon says there might be some out there who doesn't know the difference between clean and dirty, so he asks them to guess who their guest is today: he wears tights, drives a car called the Batmobile, and runs around with a friend called Robin. |
