You know the old saying: A dragon hunter in time saves nine? Or ten, or, or... whatever?
All S1
S1 E4The Return of Roger
My colleague's right. We only do dragons. But we do dragons well, I mean, top of the line quality work, delivery in forty-eight hours, free installation, two year guarantee and all the extras. So here's the contract, don't worry about the price, I'll fill that in later. Just put an X here, here and here.
Please let him have five toes like everyone else! Five, not not four...
S1 E5Little Rumble on the Prairie
GWIZDO, LIAN-CHU, GET DOWN HERE!
[Gwizdo wakes with a start and Lian-Chu tumbles out of the top bunk]
Ooh.
[As Jennyline blows a bugle call, the two men hurry downstairs. Jennyline is standing, arms akimbo]
I hope you're proud of yourselves now, wise guys!
[stretching] Oh, yeah. We forgot to do the dishes yesterday. Eh, that's it, right?
[Jennyline grabs Gwizdo by the front of his shirt]
Zaza has disappeared!
Zaza, sweetheart, we've been really good sports. We even let you play co-pilot. But pretty please, let us handle the rest. UNDERSTAND?!? Or else it's back to the inn.
[talking in his sleep] Fifty percent? No, no, no, it should be eighty. I gotta rewrite clause eighteen...
S1 E6The Isle of Mist
Lordy, not exactly spring chickens, are they? Looks like rutabagas aren't quite the elixir of life.
I like this Spartan lifestyle. No frills. It's ideal for concentration.
[Gwizdo tosses and turns on his bed of straw]
[sarcastically] You don't say.
I feel sorry for those old men. It's weird. Maybe it's just the candlelight, but I got the feeling Albagore has aged since we got here. Say, Gwizdo, can you explain your plan to me?
Hmm.
Since it's complicated and all?
Lian-Chu, there is no complicated plan. I just said that to impress the clients, so they think they're gettin' their money's worth. You get it?
But what about the plan you drew?
[Gwizdo sits up]
Total bluff. Tomorrow we cross the bridge, wait for the monster and slay it with a slingshot. Wham bam, thank you ma'am, fork over the money, we hope to see you again someday.
[Lian-Chu looks at Gwizdo incredulously]
[Hector regurgitates a hairball]
OH, HAIRBALL! THOSE ARE BRAND NEW SHOES I BOUGHT THREE YEARS AGO!
[Gwizdo pulls himself up onto the deck of the St. George; he has aged down into a child]
Leapin' lizards. Thought I was a goner there.
[Lian-Chu starts in surprise. Hector stares]
What's the matter? What's eatin' you? Is there a problem?
S1 E7A Fistful of Veggies
Lian-Chu, remind me to never make fun of you or your knitting again.
Lian-Chu, I just thought of something. Today's the seventh day of the harvest month in the Year of the Bull.
Yes, and?
[Gwizdo gets out an elaborate calendar. He presses a button and a number of arrows and symbols pop out]
Well, we have a little problem, because today in Zimbrenelle and surrounding areas, the calendar calls for an eclipse... [The cave suddenly goes dark] ... of the sun.
S1 E9The Deep North Dragon
Gwizdo, I'm not sure, but you know our promised land? I think this might be it.
Huh? Do you have frostbite on the brain?
You know, where people accept us for who we are, and welcome us. Our real place in the world. Well, I think it's here.
What sort of gobbledygook are you comin' up with?
You're the one who brought it up when we left the inn.
[Gwizdo looks surprised]
First of all, I doubt I ever said any such thing. And secondly, even if I did, it was just to reassure ya. I know how hard it was for you to leave the inn.
So you lied to me?
Of course not. I didn't lie to ya. I was just improvisin' a bit.
[Lian-Chu sags a bit. Gwizdo sees Lian-Chu's expression and looks worried. He goes to the wall Lian-Chu is leaning on and sits on it]
Don't you think I was terrified too, with the idea of leavin' it all behind? All I wanted was to run right back to the inn to my big soft bed, the toasty fireplace and Jennyline's delicious cookin'. If I said that, it was just to reassure me, too.
So you want to go back to the inn, too.
More than ever, Lian-Chu. More than ever before.
But what about the pride of dragon hunters?
When yer cold and hungry, dragon pride can take a hike.
S1 E10Billy Toughnut
[as he listens to Billy's story, Lian-Chu sees tears streaming from Gwizdo's eyes]
Are you crying, Gwizdo?
[Gwizdo dries his eyes]
[voice choked and quavering] Course not, you big oaf. I just got some dust in my eye.
Listen, Billy. Gwendolyn isn't Gwendolyn.
[Billy looks at Lian-Chu for a split second, then buries his face into Gwizdo's chest and sobs]
[dryly] You know, Lian-Chu, you have a real talent for comfortin' people. A real talent.
