DuckTales (2017) · Season 1
[As Falcon Graves and his goons hold all the party people hostage, Dewey starts performing his yo-yo routine on the stage]
Oh, my gosh, he's the worst. But… fascinating somehow?
I want to look away, but I can't.
It's grotesque. [walks towards the stage with Hack]
But amazing.
Good plan, Dewey…is a thing I never thought I'd say.
The failure of it all is ridiculous… and beautiful! That is IT.
What? No way. Gimme that phone!
[with her face turning red of fury, attack Graves] Ahh! That's ruining our big chance and an event I have been planning for months! I WILL NOT BE RECOMMENDING YOUR SERVICES TO OTHERS!
Dr. Gearloose?
Intern.
Can we have a word?
Oh, here's two: leave now. Nothing can distract me--
Dr. Gearloose?
[gasps and exclaims] Where did you get that thing?!
I haven't seen you since... I can't remember.
Manny, get this dangerous machine out of my lab!
You know my friend, B.O.Y.D.?
"B.O.Y.D.?" What idiot called it that? Its name is 2-B.O. And, yes, I know all about it. It is not your friend, it is not a boy. It is a failed experiment. I helped build 2-B.O years ago in Tokyolk, when I was just a lowly intern for the infamous Dr. Akita.
Aren't you overreacting? Look at him. He's a kid like me. Just wired a little differently. Besides, dozens of your inventions have tried to kill us, and you always say they're "wildly misunderstood."
I understand 2-B.O. all too well. Don't get too close to it.
[Gyro, Huey, B.O.Y.D. and Fenton arrive in Tokyolk]
Remember, no one can know we're here. We have to remain discreet.
[A car pulls up and a crow named Inspector Tezuka steps out]
Gearloose!
Oh, no. Hide 2-B.O. Ah, Inspector Tezuka. Konnichiwa. What are you doing in Tokyolk-- [Tezuka grabs hold of him] Ow!
Keeping it safe from evil robots. You got a lot of nerve showing your mech-loving mug around here.
We both know I was cleared of those crimes. Ow!
Crimes?
But your mentor, Dr. Akita, wasn't. So where are you hiding him?!
I haven't seen Akita since he disappeared.
What is all this?
It was Tokyolk's most advance research lab. This is where 2-B.O. was built.
And where Dr. Gyro Gearloose was born! Was this your lab coat? Was this your stool? Was this your Trinocular Inverted Metallurgical Microscope? [gets dust in his eye] Ah! Dust in my eye! The dust of genius!
All right, knock it off, intern.
All right, let's finish this and go-- [notices Huey, B.O.Y.D. and Fenton have gone] HEY! [angry] INTERN!!!!!!
Huey, step away from B.O.Y.D. You don't know what he's capable of.
Sure, I do. He just saved me with his rocket feet.
And that is the problem. His weapon systems are back online. We wait any longer and the city is doomed.
[Gyro, Fenton and Tezuka all start arguing]
[breaks up the argument] Stop trying to make B.O.Y.D. something he's not. He didn't glitch once while we were having fun. He was just being a kid.
Dr. Gearloose, please, I'm a definitely real boy. Why can't you see that?
[sighs] Because deep down, you're this. [hands B.O.Y.D. the tablet with a recorded video] This is 2-B.O.'s core memory. Dr. Akita and I invented 2-B.O. to be the city's prime defense robot, but during the test run, 2-B.O. lost control and attacked the city, until Tezuka finally took it down. 2-B.O. was the first invention I worked on that turned evil, and I have spent my whole life trying to live that down. 2-B.O., B.O.Y.D., whatever, is dangerous down to its core.
But, you said you could fix me, so I'd never malfunction again.
Yes. By shutting you down for good.
[grabs hold of Gyro's arm] B.O.Y.D., run! Get out of here!
No, not again.
No. Not again. Save Gizmoduck. I've got to destroy 2-B.O. for good.
You can't! This is not who B.O.Y.D. is! He's a--a definitely real boy!
It's just made to look that way! You saw its first memories! [holds up the tablet] At 2-B.O.'s core, it's a weapon!
Wait, there's more there. Hidden under all those old memories!
[Gyro speaks gibberish, Huey takes the tablet and plays another old memory]
All systems online. Welcome to the world, 2-B.O.
[turns to the reflection] Am I a real boy?
Hm. Definitely. [hugs B.O.Y.D.]
[Video memory changes to Akita and Young Gyro]
No, he's not. This is a defense drone.
Isn't he more than that? Yes, he's dealing with some first-time jitters, but I think--
No. Now, go prep the monitors for the field test. [turns and walk to B.O.Y.D.] 2-B.O., you are a rare breed. The ultimate weapon. Overwrite all of Gyro's "Real Boy" programming, and execute protocol World Breaker.
[shocked gasp] That was his core, until Akita overwrote my work. 2-B.O. never had a choice. You forced him to be a weapon!
Oh, intern, 2-B.O. is, and will always be, a weapon for destruction. For power. For evil.
Not all my inventions are evil! Some are just WIDLY misunderstood!
[Webby, Lena and Violet, weapons in hand, approach the front door of McDuck Manor, which is being accosted by pounds and moaning. When they open the door, Gladstone Gander tumbles in.]
UNCLE SCROOGE I NEED YOU [falls to the ground]
[The girls stare at Gladstone. Violet raises her stake.]
Stand down, Violet. It's just Donald's lucky loafer of a cousin, Gladstone.
Mmmm, if he's so lucky, why is he crying?
BECAUSE THE WORLD IS BROKEN! [blows his nose on Lena's shirt] It happened last night...
[Flashback...]
I had just been given a ride by a gent who needed help breaking in his new stretch limo.
[Gladstone steps out of the limo and waves to it. Shortly afterward, he is blasted by a strange green energy beam and looks lethargic.]
I was feeling peckish and a little drained. I found myself outside an All You Can Eat shrimp buffet and I screamed with joy because I love shrimp. I strolled inside to be named the 1,000th customer and awarded a free meal, but get this: no confetti? Or balloons? I asked for food and you know what they asked for in return? PAYMENT! I opened my wallet, it was EMPTY. Not ONE twenty dollar bill conveniently flew in, either, so I had to go to a bank! But it was...closed? Did you know things could be CLOSED? So I went to the ATM around the corner and asked it for twenty dollars! And you know how much it gave me?
...Twenty dollars?
[Flashback ends.]
Yeah! Not the usual accidental sack of rubies! THAT'S when I knew something was up and I needed Uncle Scrooge to fix it!
[Gladstone paces around the area, knocking things over and almost tripping.]
I had to WALK here! It took HOURS! No one offered me a ride, no passing hang gliders scooped me up and not ONE gust of wind whimsically carried me! IS THIS WHAT LIFE IS LIKE FOR YOU PEOPLE!!?
[Gladstone falls chin first to the ground.]
OW! Why weren't there PILLOWS THERE!?
[The Phantom Blot corners Magica De Spell, magic stealing gauntlet in hand.]
Your magic and your menace end here, witch!
Don't forget who you're dealing with, Blot. I am the Sorceress of the Shadows!
[Blot blasts Magica's wooden staff to pieces.]
[Dramatically] Behold my power!
[Magica performs an unending cloth link magic trick to the Blot's confusion.]
Oooooh! OOOOOH! Aaaaah! Soooo many colors! Soooo much POWER! OoOoH! Will it eeever eeeeend?
[The cloth link ends. Blot approaches once more.]
Pick a card! Any card!
[Blot swats them away and aims at Magica with his gauntlet.]
You destroyed my village and my family and now I'll destroy you and yours.
[The Phantom Blot siphons the magic out of Magica's amulet as Lena struggles to keep it away from him. Lena blasts a root on the ground which throws the Blot off balance and sends the amulet into the sky. The amulet careens towards a despondent Gladstone.]
Gladstone!
[Gladstone looks up and sees the amulet falling his way.]
I got it!
[Gladstone positions himself in the amulet's path]
[To himself] You can do this, Gladstone. Succeed on your own merits!
[The amulet slams into Gladstone's head but he DOES catch it.]
HAHAAA! I DID IT!
[Lena breathes a sigh of relief.]
Better luck next time, Blotty! HAA!
[Gladstone attempts to blast Phantom Blot with the amulet's magic, but he is holding it backwards and blasts himself instead. His body is awash in a purple glow. When it fades, Gladstone has been transformed into the unluckiest being in existence: Donald Duck. He sees his reflection in the swamp waters and gasps in horror.]
Nohoho!
[Gladstone/Donald throws off his sailor hat and drops the amulet, then proceeds to run off in a panic.]
[In utter terror] NOOOHOnoonoo! ANYTHING BUT THIS!!!
[Gladstone/Donald trips on an uprooted root, slides into a log, gets lodged in, and when a large tree branch falls on the other end of the log, he is sent flipping into the swamp waters and floats away, tail-feathers in the air.]
[Dewey wakes up from his nap and Huey and Louie suspiciously notice that he's looking a little taller]
What are you guys staring at?
Dewey, are you taller?
What? [looks down at his height] I must've... had a growth spurt!
That's crazy, you hatched after me.
Well, Hubert. Maybe my egg was laid first, ergo vis-a-vis, it is I who am big brother now.
That's not how biology works.
It is now, because big brother is in charge!
Bless me bagpipes!
Great gobs of goblin spit!
You're young! [laughing]
The stream must be fed by the Fountain of Youth! If we follow it, we'll find its source! Do you know what this means?
Yep! Beating you will be so much easier now! Ha!
[pops out of the water] NO! My precious youth! [ages forward to his death and turns into dust]
