I'll see if I can find something. In the meantime
From Starman"
Ted Knight - You're wearing that T-Shirt. The one you know I don't like.
Jack Knight -Yeah, i know. I forgot. Sorry, dad.
Ted Knight - .....Well, at least it was nothing malicious.
Jack Knight - I wasn't trying to get my old man riled. No, I have a lot on my mind. I forgot...you know how that can happen if anyone does.
Ted Knight - Yes, son. I know. I know.
Jack Knight - Dad, I'm Starman. Right? You say it. I'm....beginng...once in a blue moon at night, am beginning to say it myself even.
Ted Knight - That's good to hear.
Jack Knight - But if I am, and there are certain...shadows...secrets..in the past of Starman's lineage, I should be told them, shouldn't I? How do I know that this knowledge...being forewarned of it..won't save my life one day?
Ted Knight - I'll admit, you have a point.
Jack Knight - Then what is it? It's something that happened in your past, and this T-shirt, the symbol on it, it's all linked somehow, yeah? I should know dad...............................Dad? Are you listening?
Ted Knight - (Sigh) Yes, i'm listening. And I suppose i'm agreeing, too. It's just that...the event..there's...do you know what that image is on the T-shirt?
Many don't. They think it's Raggedy Ann or the Scarecrow from the Oz books. They wear the thing, oblivious. I stopped a woman once who had her little daughter wearing one for heaven's sake.
Jack Knight - I know, Dad. It's the Ragdoll. The costumed Villain. "Opal City's Charlie Manson" as he was called. But that's all past. His face...it doesn't meean anything. It's become a pop icon. No one remembers the facts or cares to. Like Manson. Axel Rose wore his face on a T-shirt in a video. It's just a hip image. Nothing more.
Ted Knight - Oh, there was more. i was there. I remember, and if that's your attitude, perhaps you should indeed be told. The Ragdoll. A petty thug turned killing messiah. The moment he started preaching his mad drivel, the followers gathered. The crimes they committed in his name....were savage and audacious and most without logic. August was a b***h, as I recall. Innocent blood ran in this city.
Jack Knight - When was this dad?
Ted Knight - Thirteen years gone.
The situation grew to a head with the slaughter of that actor and his family. There were the kid-napped twins...little girls..they'd been gone for days. And the Ragdoll's gang was building up..preparing for some big, violent event. I never did find out exactly what, come to think of it.
The city was scared. You could taste and smell it. The Fear. I didn't want that. Not for Opal. My friends came in. There were five of us. Jay, Allen, Rex, Chuck, and me.
Chuck and Rex went off into the night. they fought the Ragdoll's minions. Chuck found the twins. Saved them. And Rex...He fought an army. That night he was a God. Son, I was so proud of him...proud to know him.
Jay, Allen, and Myself, we went in search of Ragdoll. We had a lead. We knew where we thought he might be. And sure enough, we found him there.
Jack Knight - So? What? Yeah, you found him?
Ted Knight - He said he'd rule his minions from prison. He said he'd have Joan killed...Jay's wife, this is. Allen had employees, and me...He knew who I had. He said he'd have you killed, Jack. You and your brother.
Jack Knight - So, what happened?
Ted Knight It wasn't as cold-blooded as it might sound, what we ultimately did. there was confusion. Danger. Not much time to think. But....(sigh)...we killed him, in the end. that's what it boils down to.
I've Lived in shame for a lot of things Jack. You know how I helped make the A-Bomb. You know all the times i've been in Sanitariums. Well, now you can add this to the list.
{Jack Stairs at Starman Statue}
Ted Knight - Jack, I have work to do. Michael's in his room sleeping, but i'd like to run more tests on him in a while. Would you mind leaving? I'd like some time alone.
Jack Knight Sure, dad. Sure. I...I.. And i'll burn the shirt when I get home.
Hey pop,I got a new recipe for steamed crab in ginger and garlic. How about in a day or two you come over and i'll cook it? You can make fun of all the old stuff i have in my apartment. I can get mad and yell at you. It'll be like old times. Bring Michael too?
Ted Knight - That...err..yes, i'd like that.
Jack Knight - 'Kay, i'll buzz you in the A.M. bout it. Dad...one last thing. I promised Myself i'd never kill again...after I snuffed Davey's Killer. But..if I learned someone threatened you with death..if I thought they were serious and they had a chance of succeeding...i'd break my promise in an opal city heart beat.
