I agree; but nonetheless I really enjoyed Stan Beals. His "defeat" (which I put in quotes because I also think it was stupid) and his underdevelopment as a character makes me want to write something about him - because I did like him, but was disappointed with the film's handling of his character. I've an idea for a fic, but that's offtopic to this thread.

Yeah. I totally liked the exterminator from OTH as well, and putting him and Beals together in a fic like you propose reminds me of something I read where Gaston (Beauty and the Beast) and Prince Charming (Shrek) teamed up to defeat their enemies. (It wasn't a pretty sight; but it was darn entertaining.)
