[as he slowly chases Dewey through the plane] I'm trying to save your life, now come back here, or I will end it, young man!
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
[as Dewey goes outside the plane to get the piece of paper]
No. Not again.
[through the radio] Dewey, this is crazy! The mystery's not worth it!
[through the radio] I get it, but you can't give up the rest of us to find the one person we lost!
[through the radio] Dewey! The Darkwing Duck video is still running! Do you want me to pause it until you get back?
[through the radio] Give me that. Dewey, our family is amazing! We're enough! Let it go!
[after Scrooge tells them how their mother vanished]
[angry] Cool... so you're the reason our mom is gone!
[shocked] What? No! I..I--
[the plane begins to lean forward] Um, guys?
You built her a crazy dangerous super rocket!
Which she stole early!
Then you encouraged her to keep flying through a cosmic storm? You could have called her down, there were too many variables!
Now boys, you don't know....
And you're the richest duck in the world! Why didn't you send up more ships to look for her?
[growing frustrated] I spared no expense!
[coldly] Yeah, right. Cheap old Scrooge probably bailed as soon as it put a dent in his money bin.
[the plane leans further] Um, guys?
Take it easy Dewey, he may have a point. Even if gifting an experimental rocket to a mother of three was clearly a terrible idea!
This is a family matter! You are not family!
See here, McDuck. You will not speak to my granddaughter that way.
You will not speak to me that way! None of you! After everything I do for you, you're all nothing but trouble!
Isn't he gonna say goodbye?
We're taking those vacation days if that's alright with you... sir.
[bitterly] Fine.
[as Webby sadly leaves] Well, you've successfully pushed your family and everyone who cared about you away... again. I hope you're happy.
[as Scrooge remembers his efforts to find Della after her accident, as well as everyone's accusations after he told them]
...you're the richest duck in the world! Why didn't you send up more ships to look for her?
Then you encouraged her to keep flying through a cosmic storm? ... You'd could have called her down, there were too many variables!
...so you're the reason our mom is gone! ... Cheap old Scrooge probably bailed as soon as it put a dent in his money bin
Well, you've successfully pushed your family and everyone who cared about you away... again. I hope you're happy.
[tearing up] ...I am.
Wait... where's Dewey?! [about to rush off, only to see him sitting on the stairs]
[bitter] Nope. Right here. Not stealing the boat. [puts on his life vest]
Oh.
Yep. Back to the good ol' days. Woo-oo.
[in Lena's body] Big day, Magica, real big day. The eclipse is at hand, my plan is flawless! [retches and exits Lena's body]
Let me go!
Oh, that's right. I forgot you were here.
I won't let you do this!
Yeah, uh-huh, oh except at the moment of the eclipse, my powers will finally unleash, and I'll be an invincible juggernaut of DARK MAGIC! So, you know...
[pulls up to McDuck Manor's gates, and rings the gate buzzer] Howdy, Mr. McDee! Don't worry, I'm not here to check on you on account of everyone moving out, because the boys blamed you for launching their mom to space and orphaning them. I'm here to take you out for ice cream! Mmmm, sounds good, right? Family crisis- I mean, ice cream!
[through the speaker] Go away.
[in Lena's body] Out?! Moved?! Ice cream?! Without those kids to let me in, how am I supposed to get my evil, evil vengeance?!
[as Webby and Launchpad discuss their plan to stop Donald and the boys from moving away]
Step one. We throw the boys a farewell party to convince them they don't want to move.
Step two. Reveal surprise guest, Scrooge, and remind them how much they all miss each other!
Step three. There is no step three, because we just nailed it in two steps!
[McDuck Manor is absolutely trashed with pizza boxes, empty soda cans, and other trash]
LLena (Magica)
Uh, how long has your housekeeping staff been gone?
[in his dirty underwear] Three days. So how are my so-called "kin"? Miserable, no doubt, living on that disgusting boat. I'm obviously doing much better than they are. [spots a possum under a pizza box] Pesky possum! Keeps eating my anchovies! [chases it with a broom]
[Scrooge discovers a hidden stash of treasure in Louie's bedroom, along with a bag of marbles]
Sweet, playful marbles. Three to a bag. Red, green, and that rascal blue marble, always rolling whichever way it wants... and ungrateful the lot of them at every turn! After all I did for them, and they just throw it in my face!
LLena (Magica)
Yeah, there's nothing worse than marbles. Tea?
I'm talking about family.
LLena (Magica)
Ugh, tell me about it. They disobey you, run you ragged, don't follow through on elaborate revenge plots...
They spend your money, take over your home, cause trouble, worm their way into your head with fond memories that you cannae get out, no matter how hard you try!
LLena (Magica)
Cheers to ridding fond memories!
[sits on a throne of pizza boxes] And then they leave without as much as a "thank you"!
LLena (Magica)
Forget family. Who needs 'em?
I'll drink to that! [about to drink Magica's potion, only for a box to fall on his head and cause him to spill it]
LLena (Magica)
Of all the idiotic- I mean, I'll go make you another.
[bringing in drinks] Mmmm, the Family-tini. Old family recipe. Tastes like the loving embrace of family.
[looking at the drinks] Are these melted popsicles in cups?
The stirrer has a riddle on it.
[as she's freed] Feed my power, Dark Eclipse. Free my form from the abyss. Dormant magic now unchain, the Shadow Queen be whole again!
[presenting the boys with pie] Apple shortbread pie, with a scoop of sea salt ice cream. A common farewell dessert in certain parts.
Finally, some real food.
[takes the pie away] Oh, I'm so sorry. This was Scrooge's favorite dessert. I don't want to remind you of that horrid man who lost your mother all those years ago, even if it was an accident that tore him up for ten years, propelling him into a desperate search attempt that left him broken, and nearly bankrupt.
Wait, bankrupt? Really?
But I understand. You're upset because you lost one family member, which was terrible and painful, so you decided you should go ahead and lose another. Brilliant. Makes perfect rational sense.
[angry] Yeah. Nailed it, Mrs. B.
Yes. Distance yourself even further from his life and forsake family altogether. That will definitely fix it.
No! It'll do the opposite of that!
Perhaps it's worth considering that the reason Scrooge closed himself off was because the loss of Della was the hardest thing he'd ever faced. Harder than any adventure. It's not that he didn't care, it's that he cared about family more than anything in the world. And perhaps he still does. But I'm just the housekeeper. What do I know?
A LOT! THIS LADY KNOWS A LOT!
You wee tenebrous traitor. We welcomed you into our home, only to have you unleash this repugnant beast-monger.
She's my aunt! She made me do it.
Hmmm. Family! Good for nothing! Left me completely vulnerable to this.
Please. Magica only got in here because you threw your family out. My family's good for nothing. Your family is amazing. You fight, and get into trouble, but it doesn't matter, because you, I don't know, love each other or something. Dude, I wish I had your family.
... You're right lass. Help me get my family back, and you'll have a place in it. We're all stronger together. Ready?
I'll see what I can do.
