ScroogeI... Webigail, I don't know what to say.
I know what you're trying to say, Mr. McDee. She was right, you were wrong. She was wise, you were a fool. [ticking off on his fingers] You were greedy, selfish, rude, a great big mean...
ScroogeWe get the idea, Launchpad!

YAY!
ScroogeThe "yays" have it!
ScroogeEasier than diving into my money bin!

[looks away]
We'd *never* say that, Uncle Scrooge.
[they run to each other and hug]
ScroogeWhy - Why, of *course* you wouldn't.
I was afraid you were a big banana!
Or Commander Gander, terror of the universe!

B-but how could you do all those things?
I'm rich! I can do anything! [laughs evilly] And I'll be ever richer when you're out of here!
[crying] Uncle Scrooge!
Don't call me that! I don't want to be your uncle anymore! [leaves]

ScroogeNo, Bubba, no home. Och, I'm starting to talk like him. Launchpad, how soon can we get back in the air?
It's in pretty deep, Mr. McDee. We're gonna need help.
Bubba help.
ScroogeYou've helped enough already. Boys, you stay here.
Bubba come?
ScroogeNo, Bubba stay. Launchpad come... Och, I'm starting to talk like him.
