Dragon Hunters · Season 1
I haven't been that good in months! They were eatin' right outta my hand! Ready to empty their pockets in gold.
Don't worry. You can finish your story later.
Fat chance. Later they'll be stuffed and half-asleep. And once they've paid for their meal, they won't have a sliver of gold left.
Gwizdo sad. Gwizdo go away.
My miserable life has come full circle now. I'll never find them. I came into the world alone and that's how I'll be till the end.
[Gwizdo is sitting on the ground cross-legged, clutching the contract and trying in vain not to cry]
What's wrong, Gwizdo? Is the contract that bad?
[voice choked] On the contrary. It's the most beautiful contract I've ever seen and it's gonna make us rich.
So, you're feeling better, then?
[Gwizdo's face morphs into an ugly gurn, his eyes brimming with tears]
On the contrary. I've never felt so awful in my life. You can even negotiate better contracts that I can.
[He bursts out sobbing]
I'm such a loser!
[to the ash covered villagers] My dear clients, acting out of anger is highly counter-productive. Dragon slaying's unpredictable. You know black is this year's color?
Gwizdo, there's someone here to see you.
[blearily] Someone to see me? With my luck, it's someone I owe money to. [He shuts the door of his room] I'm going back to bed. Wake me up when he's gone, okay? Better yet, wake me up three days after he's gone.
I never understood why Lian-Chu never told me his village was destroyed by a dragon.
Lian-Chu and I are hunters, Zaza, and we hunters never whine about our misfortune.
I don't get it. It seems to me you whine pretty much all the time, Gwizdo.
Zaza, let me make things clear. You're here because your mother wanted you out of her hair. It wasn't my idea, I certainly don't need your help to find Lian-Chu!
Maybe, but you need me to talk to him.
Ha! Now that's a good one. If anybody here can talk to my friend Lian-Chu, it's me.
Okay, so why didn't he say anything to you, then? Why didn't he say it was the anniversary of the destruction of his village?
[raging] Hector, hold me back or I'm gonna do something I'll regret!
Gwizdo's not such a bad guy once you get to know him. [Gwizdo opens one eye] Lian-Chu really likes him. It may look like Lian-Chu looks after Gwizdo, but actually it's the other way around.[Gwizdo sits up in bed, pensive] Lian-Chu told me that.
How's it goin', big buddy?
[Lian-Chu hangs his head sadly. Gwizdo awkwardly looks around]
You should have seen it, Gwizdo. There was nothing left. Only ruins. A massacre.
[Gwizdo looks sympathetic] I try not to think about it. It hurts too much.
I know what you're sayin', Lian-Chu. I feel the same way about my family.
Huh? Really? So you're not mad at me about the contract, then?
Ah, come on. Contracts are a dime a dozen. Although this one was a real beauty. We were gonna make a fortune, a mountain of gold. I had it all planned. The dragon was a wuss. We woulda bagged him without breakin' a sweat and walked off with more gold than we've ever seen.
[Gwizdo opens the door to congratulate Lian-Chu, squishing Hector in the process]
Way to go, Lian-Chu, you are number one! The greatest in the world! [He runs out to Lian-Chu] Hey? You okay, pal? [Lian-Chu yells] Lettin' off, uh, some steam, huh?
Lian-Chu! Feather! [He goes to where Gwizdo is sitting on a log and dozing and tickles his nose. The dragon hunter wakes up, annoyed]
Stop it, Hector, I was tryin' to take a nap. You want me to SHOVE THAT STUPID FEATHER DOWN YOUR THROAT?!
I fear the worst.
[sarcastically] It's so nice when you try to cheer me up.
[Gwizdo goes tumbling into the main hall]
Oh boy! You gotta help me! Oh my gosh. In the kitchen... I-I could be wrong. But I-I think that she thinks that the- Oh my goodness! No! I gotta be mistaken. Please... Ohboyohboyohboyohboy... Now, don't get me wrong, I like livin' here. That's not the issue. The rent's okay, if I ever pay it, and let's face it, I'll never pay it... And sure, Jennyline's a woman of charm. Well, Jennyline's a woman. Okay, she's Jennyline. What I mean is, I-I like her, but, uh-h-h... SHE WANTS TO MARRY ME!
We're not married yet and she's already cheatin' on me!
[to Zaza] He is the nicest, loveliest, kindest, handsomest, richest man I have ever met. And he's going to be just like a father to you.
He's only after your money, you know.
No, he's not!
[scoffing] He is an ugly brute. If I was that ugly, I wouldn't come out during the day! No looks, no charm, the guy's a pig.
[Leopold grunts]
Sorry about that, Leopold. He's got far less appeal than a pig. Of course, you saw right through him, Jennyline. You're not gonna marry that two bit lose-
[Jennyline punches Gwizdo in the face and sends him flying into a wall]
How dare you speak of the man I love like that!
[dazed] I'll get us outta this... I'll think of somethin'...
