Pink Panther Road Trip

[Shai-Hulud]

The Pink Panther needs someone to drive him from Tallahassee, Florida to Seattle, Washington. If successful, he will give you the Pink Panther diamond ($25,000,000).

No trains, planes, boats, teleportation, or time travel to arrive before you left. You're driving your own automobile. If you don't have an automobile, you have to rent or borrow one. And no, the Batmobile and Mach Five aren't available, only what you, yourself have access to in real life.

Inspector Clouseau is on the case, however, with full legal authority to from Interpol to act freely within US borders (stipulated by OP) and will be seeking to arrest you both. You'll have to stay ahead of him until you get to the Panther's Seattle destination—a high society law firm, who can't help you until you get there.

The law firm can liquidate the gem, complete cash value to you, with no legal hassles.

Or you could just pass on the difficulties of interrupting your life and going on a road trip with wanted cartoon character and get a free check for $10,000.

I'M JUST TAKING THE 10,000. Law enforcement and FBI CSI etc are way smarter in real life than on TV. We would back out my home and immediately be arrested. lol

Clouseau is incompetent, but always manages to bumble his way into the area with the bad guys. Hijinks transpire. However, this being Real Life™, it means potential car accidents and injuries (or death). In the US (and I'm Canadian).

Or perhaps police get interested in the stuff that's happening. Or anyone else with a firearm.

Or maybe Clouseau manages to arrest me and I end up in prison for X number of years. In a different country.

Yeaaaah, pass; I'll take the $10,000.

The prosecution would have to explain to the judge that the fugitive you were harboring was a cartoon character:

JUDGE: The pink panther? From that TV cartoon?

PROSECUTOR: Yes, Your Honor, that one.


Clouseau tries to enlist the local sheriff's department to help him:

CLOUSEAU: We're looking for a man and a pink panther.

SHERIFF: You mean like the cartoon?

CLOUSEAU: Exactly. It is the pink panther from the cartoon. And a very dangerous cartoon character it is. I must have the resources of your entire department, all your deputies. Drop everything you are doing. Catching this cartoon character takes complete precedence.

All of that makes definite good points. Which still leaves me worried about car chases happening ending in a fiery crash. Or car chases happening, the cops getting involved, and me getting riddled full of bullets. Or other such things.

I am not a cartoon character, which is probably a good thing because my wife wouldn’t like it.

Yeah, I'm taking $10,000, I'm not doing any illegal driving, I don't even have a license. I'm not hijacking a car, I'll just end up a car wreck. With me behind the wheel, the Pink Panther probably wouldn't make it out of Tallahassee.

What if you have trains, planes, or boats in real life?

I'm told they can get a lot of milage out of Squash and Stretch.

Yep. Sadly, that leaves me as non-regenerating goo.

Oooh, a free $10,000, nice!

[bruceleegreyhulk]

I'm guessing since Clouseau is live action. He would look like Steve Martin or Peter Sellers right. So he would either look like alive actor or a dead actor.

[Shai-Hulud]

He would look like .... Peter Sellers

Yes, from the original 1963 film.

Not free, you have to sell ou the Pink Panther for stealing the Pink Panther. Only you can determine if you can live with that.

Actually, no - you’re just getting involved.

Not at all the same thing as ‘selling out.’ ^_^

[StupidMoniker]

Without some prior knowledge that I am involved, I just have PP stay out of sight in the trunk or the back seat. There is absolutely no reason that any local police would be interested in me or my car. Should be easy as pie.
