(Cat is heard screeching)

(Table bumps and out comes Captain America)

Captain America: What about me, Captain America?

Nick Fury: Where'd you come from?

Captain America: Under this table. But that's not important. Do you have a job for me or what?

(Scene goes back to the judges with their eyes following the shields, also people in the background are cheering and whistling)

(A loud crash is heard, the judges put their hands over their heads and people are gasping)

(Scene goes to Captain America on the ground and his shields rolling or on the ground too)

Captain America: Darn it- always stick with the round ones.

(Scene goes to Iron Man and Phil Coulson)

Iron Man: Ugh. Can we speed things up? I've got a date.

Phil Coulson: Ooh. With who?

Iron Man: Duh- whoever I want.

Phil Coulson: Man, he's cool.

Captain America: Did somebody say cool?

(Scene goes to Captain America riding a motorcycle inside a giant ball going in circles.

Captain America: This is not easy, you see. Hard to do! Can I do this with no hands? Well that would be imposs-- (Captain America lets his hands go and starts to laugh)

(Scene goes back to the judges who are not following Captain America and are busy doing something else)

Iron Man: (While on the phone) Spider-Man? It's me. Still want to be an avenger? Yeah. He's making a total fool of himself. Oh! Hang on. I got to go. He's singing now. (Laughs) I'm not kidding.

Captain America: Wow! Thank you. All I can say is, I quit

Nick Fury: You what?

Captain America: I didn't want to do this forever.

Phil Coulson: You were an avenger for 9 seconds. That's less than Moondragon.

Phil Coulson: Who would be crazy enough to join the avengers and then quit?

(Captain America pulls off his mask to reveal James Franco's face)

Judges: James Franco?!

(Scene goes to Phil Coulson who bonks himself in the left side of his head.)

Phil Coulson: That's why I was getting lost in his eyes.

Nick Fury: Why would you do this?

James Franco: To add to my (Pulls out massive list) already-massive list of life achievements. (James reads his list) Actor, soap star, artist, poet, Oscar host--

Phil Coulson: Meh.

James Franco: Hey, (Pulls away list) I didn't say I was good. I said I did it, (Pulls back list) and now, I can add Avenger to the list. (Throws away list) Thanks, fellas.

(James Franco walks away with his shopping cart while a cat screeches.)

(Another Captain America pops under the table with no shirt)

Real Captain America: Guys, you're never going to believer this. (Camera slowly zooms in on him) I was sleeping under the table--don't ask--when suddenly, Ph.D. Candidate James Franco kidnapped me. But luckily, I broke free, and I'm ready to be an avenger.

(Camera goes to Iron Man holding a phone and talking to Spider-Man)

Iron Man: Yeah. Spider-Man? You're in.

One of his shields was not circle but had edges and the color was different, which later led to Captain America to say "Stick with the round ones".
Captain America acts were him spinning three shields, riding a motorcycle in a giant ball doing circles, and singing.
Captain America was riding the Ball of Death which is a similar reference to the Simpsons Movie.
