[Series start off in Duckburg and Donald's houseboat; Huey and Louie are trying to help Donald get ready for his job interview]
Stop helping me, and put on your life vests! What if the boat goes down while the babysitter's here?
HLHuey & Louie
Yes, Uncle Donald.
[Huey fetches Louie and himself their life vests and put them on]
Where is that babysitter? [picks up his phone and calls the babysitter's number] Where are you?! What? I didn't give you a new address. [Huey and Louie smirk at each other] Well, what time can you get here?
BBabysitter
[in the middle of nowhere] I… don't know.
[annoyed] Crazy old bird.
[annoyed when the boat's engine starts up] Where's Dewey?
[looks at him as Donald walks back to the boat] "Who's Dewey?"
[Donald finds Dewey in the engine room, hijacking the wire]
All right, boys, we'll get to Cape Suzette and back before anyone realizes we're gone. So long, Dorkburg! Hello... [notices Donald glaring at him] Uncle Donald? What... What's up?
[shoves the triplets into the back seat of the car] I can't leave you boys alone for one minute.
You were supposed to get him out by 10:00, Hubert!
You were supposed to signal before you started the boat, Dewford!
We never get to do anything.
[sitting in the front seat and turns the rear view mirror on the triplets] Boys, if we want to keep our home afloat, [sighs deeply] we've all got to do things we don't want to do. [sets the coordinates on the car's GPS]
GGPS
Destination: McDuck Manor.
McDuck Manor? As in Scrooge McDuck?
You're finally gonna sell us.
I'm not gonna sell… [sighs] He owes me.
[The triplets get hyped with excitement]
We're gonna meet Scrooge McDuck?!
I heard he's so epic, he defeated a rock giant and carved a statue of himself out of its leg!
I heard he's so smart, he solved the mystery of the chupacabra. Turns out it was just a shaved bear!
I heard that he's so rich, he only hunts for treasure to swim in it!
All right, take it down a notch. It's only for a couple of hours.
A couple of hours with the most exciting duck in the world!
[grumbles and reads the newspaper, then lowers it when he sees his nephews staring excitedly at him; startled] So, do children still like... marbles or uh...
Are you really our uncle?
What's the deal with you and Uncle Donald?
Ooh, is this fork real silver? Can I have it?
How come you never visit?
Oh, cause you're so old and moving is so hard?
You owe us, like, a lot of birthday presents!
You used to be a big deal! Whatever happened to you?
[slams the newspaper on the table, losing his temper; shouting] BEAKLEY! [later, then throws them into an empty room] You are going to watch 'em. Watch 'em! Huey, Louie, the third one.
[as Scrooge struggles to put on an old dive suit]
A little spring cleaning?
Maybe. Maybe not. Read this.
Snow. On the Drake Barrier Reef.
First time in 50 years. That weather report aligns perfectly with the Papia Prophecy. A shift in currents may present a pathway to Atlantis! Lost city under the sea!
This is because some children made fun of you, isn't it?
Nonsense. I'm no has-been, they're the has-beens. I am an am-now!
You're here because you're the best of the cheapest. With your help and my carefully crafted master plan, we'll find the fabled lost Jewel of Atlantis and finally make me the richest duck in the world! [laughs evilly] But first, here are your company IDs, also good for 40% off life vest rental in case of emergency. Gabby McStabberson. [Gabby comes up and takes her ID] Hack and Slash Smashnikov. [the Smashnikov brothers come up and take theirs] Donald Duck. Duck? Duck?!
[Donald tells him to give him a minute as he's on the phone with Scrooge]
Now remember, bedtime is at 9:00. And no sugar after 7:00. Oh, and…
I run a multi-trillion dollar business. I can handle a few juveniles for the weekend. You just focus on this new job of yours. Besides, I got a pretty low key day planned.
[after Louie lies on the phone to Donald about what they've been doing] Why didn't you tell him the truth?
You didn't tell your grandma we were going to a dangerous underwater city, did you?
I kinda sorta... didn't tell her anything?
Webby, that's irresponsible! She'll be worried sick! Call your grandma this instant, and tell her that you are spending the night at a friend's house, okay? Lying. It's the responsible thing to do.
Launchpad, have you ever piloted a sub before?
I sunk a helicopter in a wave pool once. Same thing?
[sigh] I've done more with less. No matter, I'm back! Unchartered territory. Bold new discoveries!
Hello, bingo! I love road trips! I've got snacks, a playlist of traditional sea chanties, matching family road trip shirts!
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but there's no time.
But according to the travel itinerary--
[pops up and rips up the itinerary] Boo! Adventure isn't about planning, it's about doing!
[showing the Smashnikov brothers some photos on his phone] Ah, little Dewey's first steps. And that's Huey in the playoffs. He was the water boy. [turns to Gabby] Oh look, that's us climbing the Grand Canyon, display at the supermarket. [laughs] I miss them so much, but we need this job. So, tell me about your family.
GGabby
I was raised by warrior monks who spoke only the language of the blade.
[The alert alarm goes off]
[The surveillance system footage shows the McDuck submarine parked next to their boat and Scrooge waiting outside the bathroom, tapping his foot]
Scrooge?! What is he doing here?
Strange weather patterns in a mysterious location near treasure. I knew he couldn't resist. Hack, triangulate their sub's course. We'll tail Scrooge, and steal the jewel out from under him.
[The surveillance footage then reveals Huey, Dewey, and Louie coming out of the bathroom, and Huey rushes back in to wash his hands]
The boys?! Wait 'til I get my hands on- [angry squawking] I'M GONNA KILL HIM!
Oh, better idea! Nab the jewel, and kill them all. Somebody's angling for employee of the month.
Just call your grandma already! It's no big deal. [calls Beakley and gives Webby the phone] Remember, you're at a friend's house, okay? You got this.
[speed-talking] Hi, Granny, I'm spending the night at a friend's house, so nothing is wrong!
[stuck in front of a booby-trapped bridge]
We'll find another route, it's not safe for amateur adventures.
That sounds like a challenge.
I have to stress, that is not a challenge.
...is exactly what you say to dissuade the weak of heart from accepting the challenge. Well, challenge accepted!
