Black Sheep quotes from Carmen Sandiego

Black Sheep

Casablanca. I'm in Morocco. [chuckles] I made it to the real world. Mission first, sightsee later. [takes a selfie of herself and runs to join the others]

Black Sheep

A white hat? [picks up the phone and reads a text] "Better beef up your security. I got in." [looks around to see if anybody is looking; texts back] "Got in?" Where? Here?

The Player

Hello?

Black Sheep

He... Hello?

The Player

Who is this?

Black Sheep

Black Sheep.

The Player

Come on, what's your real name?

Black Sheep

Black Sheep.

The Player

Okay, usernames work. You can call me... Player.

Black Sheep

Do you really wear a white hat?

The Player

[looks at his white baseball cap] Uh, why? You've never heard of "white hat hackers?"

Black Sheep

That's a thing?

The Player

I have wicked hacking skills, but I use them for good.

Black Sheep

Okay, that doesn't even make sense.

The Player

Sure it does. I just hacked through 27 layers of encryption. So, who do I inform over there about the weak link so you can upgrade your security?

Black Sheep

Are you punking me? Where are you calling from?

The Player

My room, in Niagara Falls.

Black Sheep

[gasps in excitement] Seriously?! Which side of the falls?

The Player

Canadian.

Black Sheep

You're in Ontario!

The Player

Whoah, you really know your geography.

Black Sheep

What's it like there?

The Player

It's alright. [Black Sheep sees Coach Brunt out the window] We have computers, and Internet, and... [Black Sheep runs out of her room] Hey, where in the world are you?

Black Sheep

School.

The Player

What kind of school needs 27 layers of encryption?

Professor Maelstrom

Black Sheep, why have you requested our audience?

Black Sheep

I'm ready.

Maelstrom

Hmph. To enroll?

Black Sheep

I know I'm not technically old enough, Professor Maelstrom, but I already have what it takes to be an awesome thief. Best ever! [Maelstrom raises an eyebrow] Um, in-- in my opinion, sir.

Black Sheep may be young, but she has had more training at her age than any recruit, even if only by osmosis.

Coach Brunt

Dr. Bellum is right. Lambsie's got gumption. I'd say she's ready to run with the big dogs.

Countess Cleo

I, for one, am not thrilled with the notion of having to endure Black Sheep's lack of manners in a classroom setting. The girl is feral.

Maelstrom

Precisely why she might be overdue for properly supervised training, Countess Cleo. And you, Shadowsan?

Shadowsan

We are operating a vocational school, not a nursery school.

But we've never met a case for advanced placement until now.

Brunt

And last time I checked, majority vote rules.

Shadowsan

[stands up] Black Sheep, you had better be certain that becoming a professional thief is what you truly desire, for if you choose this road, there will be no turning back.

Black Sheep

I want this more than anything, Instructor Shadowsan. And I am willing to go to the end of the line. [bows]

Maelstrom

All in favor?

Brunt

[weeping] Our little lamb's gonna be all grown up!

Detention? What, are we in grade school?

Black Sheep

[sighs in relief] Thanks for having my back.

I'm going to have your hide.

Hey, can we focus? These code names aren't naming themselves.

Ooh, I have one for you: Shocker.

The Shocksmith?

Lame.

Black Sheep

Power Failure.

Sorry, mates, nothing quite has the crackle I'm looking for. [gasps] That's it! Get ready. Graham Crackle.

Black Sheep

Dude, really?

We are criminals! Who would take us seriously if we had puns for names?

Okay, I'll drop the Graham part.

Black Sheep

[angrily holding Shadowsan's keys] Looking for these? [tosses the keys to Shadowsan, who catches them]

Shadowsan

Playing games? Typical.

Black Sheep

No game. I want a do-over.

Shadowsan

And you will have it next year, once you redo your coursework.

Black Sheep

You're not hearing me. Put on the coat. I want a do-over now.

Shadowsan

We do not bend policy for other students, so we really must stop doing it for you. Good night, Black Sheep.

Black Sheep

The coat was empty, wasn't it?!

Shadowsan

ARE YOU ACCUSING A VILE INSTRUCTOR OF CHEATING?!

Black Sheep

S-sorry. It's just I know I'm as good as anyone in my class. Better, even! And I know you know it, too!

Shadowsan

And you also happen to be unruly, undisciplined, AND A PRANKSTER!! I would strongly urge that you find a way to get those qualities in check since they seem to be holding you back. [leaves]

Black Sheep

No. Nothing's holding me back. Not anymore.

Black Sheep

Player, not a good time.

The Player

Can't cite the "no cellphone rule" if you're not on campus. Taking a little field trip?

Black Sheep

What? How did you know?

The Player

Remember how I could never hack past the jammers at your school to triangulate your location? Well, guess what. Your phone suddenly lit up on my dashboard. It looks like you're currently traveling en route...

Black Sheep

Dude, hold that thought.

Approaching drop point. Assume your positions.

Black Sheep

Gotta call you back. [hangs up and sees that Crackle, Tigress, El Topo and Le Chevre are about to jump out of the helicoptor] I don't have a parachute!

Crackle

What are you waitin' for? Cats always land on their feet! [kicks Tigress out of the chopper]

Black Sheep

Heads up! [leaps onto Crackle, knocking him out of the chopper]

Crackle

Black Sheep?!

Black Sheep

Don't let go!

Crackle

Are you out of your mind?! [looks around for witnesses] You just put your safety and my entire criminal career at risk! What'll the Faculty do when they discover you decided to tag along on our mission?!

Black Sheep

Who cares? I'll be long gone.

Crackle! Let's move!

Crackle

Star here. I mean it. [goes to join the others]

Black Sheep

Huh. Time to crash a caper. [goes to join the others]

Young lady? It is quite late. Do your parents know where you are?

Black Sheep

I don't even know where I am. What is this place?

An archaeological dig site, where we search for links to our past.

Black Sheep

You mean, like, dinosaur bones?

Anything historic. If you've been following the news, you'll know that we just discovered a relic here dating from a much more recent era: the Eye of Vishnu. My crew identified it just days ago and are carefully unearthing it at this very moment.

Black Sheep

And you're not worried about them stealing it?

Now, why ever would they do that? My crew is well aware that a treasure such as this belongs in a museum.

Black Sheep

Tresure? As in, worth a fortune?

Some things possess value other than monetary, young lady. Any historic find such as this gem belongs to everyone. Its theft would rob the world of knowledge, and that would be a true crime.

Black Sheep

I... I never really thought of it that way.

[over the radio] Pit crew, report, please!

Black Sheep

Gray must have cut the power. This is the caper!

Black Sheep? But I though you did not graduate.

Black Sheep

[sees the Eye of Vishnu] Whoa, it's amazing!

Crackle

Black Sheep! Stay away! You'll ruin the mission!

[shocked] You are in cahoots with them?

Black Sheep

Uh, well, yes... and no. It's complicated.

STOP, THIEVES!!! [runs after El Topo; but Crackle stops him] Out of my way!

Crackle, remember, leave no witnesses. [jumps into the hole]

Black Sheep

Wait, what do you mean, "leave no witnesses"?! [Crackle pulls out his Crackle Rod and charges it up] GRAY, NOOOOO!!!!

Black Sheep

Gray, what are you doing?! What is wrong with you?!

[leaps down] I'll handle the runt!

Crackle

Oh, pussycat down.

She did not protect the face.

Black Sheep

Gray! [swings the Crackle Rod at Crackle] What are you doing?!

Crackle

Come on, now.

Black Sheep

TELL ME!!!

Back to VILE Island with you.

The Player

Guten tag, Strudelhaus of Düsseldorf. Can I help you?

Black Sheep

Yeah, I-I-I was looking for...

The Player

It's me. I'm screening.

Black Sheep

[sighs in relief] Player.

The Player

Where have you been?! Strange people have been answering your phone.

Black Sheep

It's not my phone. I stole it.

The Player

So you're a shoplifter! And you haven't called me all summer long because you've been in jail.

Black Sheep

[sighs] Player, remember when you told me you used your wicked skills for good?

The Player

The white hacker's code.

Black Sheep

What would you say if I told you I had wicked skills, too, from being raised in a school for thieves?

The Player

I'd say that would explain a lot.

Black Sheep

[sees Cookie Booker arriving] Don't go anywhere. [hides in the ventilation shaft above the room and sees Cookie Booker with the hard drive containing VILE's database] Player, I'm staring at a hard drive containing data that could fuel a criminal empire for a year. This may be my only shot to secure it.

The Player

Then use those wicked skills, already.

Black Sheep

If anyone sees me take it, I'll never make if off this island. I need to avoid detection at all cost. [realizes Mime Bomb is watching her] Aw, crud! [turns to Mime Bomb] Mimosa Bombosa. What are you up to? [Mime Bomb mimes picking up a flower and smelling it] Stopping to smell the roses? [Mime Bomb smiles]

The Player

This is the most one-sided conversation I've ever heard.

Black Sheep

Shh, quiet! [Mime Bombs gives a puzzled look] Not you. Duh. Heh. Okay, happy gardening. [sidesteps away; Mime Bomb gives a suspicious look as he follows her] All good. It was just some creepy mime who hangs around campus watching everything. [realizes] And everyone. Because he's a spy and a snitch. [turns to Mime Bomb] NOBODY LIKES A TATTLETALE!!!

Black Sheep

And don't even think about picking the lock. [leaves]

The Player

Hello?

Black Sheep

Player, I made it. I'm off the island. I need to know where on Earth I am.

The Player

Triangulating your position. The Canary Islands.

Black Sheep

A Spanish settlement just off the coast of Western Africa. It was an interesting place to grow up, but it's time to see the rest of the world. No more bookkeepers, and no more VILE. [is about to throw the hat out, but stops]

The Player

You'll need a passport, and I don't think Black Sheep's gonna cut it. You do have a name, don't you?

Black Sheep

[looks at the tag on the hat that reads "Carmen Brand Outerwear, San Diego"] It's... Carmen. Carmen Sandiego. Now, about this whole "white hat" thing. [puts on the hat] Does it have to be white?
