FFinn
Are you...Karl....Kniver?
Nivor. Dr. Karl Nivor, in the flesh.
[out of sight]
And this fellow must be the merchandise of which my friend Valmont spoke. Mmmm, yes. You're a fine specimen, aren't you? Aren't you?
[sigh] Borris. [a chef appears holding a briefcase of money] Pay the man. [Tohru accepts the briefcase] Care to join me for dinner?
[licking his fingers] But we're having, quite the delicacy. A dish so rare, you might say it's endangered. Turtle soup.
[out of sight]
Ew! He's gonna eat Aesop?! [gasp] He's gonna eat Aesop...
Y-yeesss...we uh...uh...ummm [clears throat] I must deliver this to Valmont. [holding the Rabbit Talisman]
AAuctioneer
The next item up for auction, is a Porcelain lamp featuring, well, an unusual rat motif. What are my bid for this piece?
AAuctioneer
Do I hear one-fifty?
[entering the room] Two hundred!
AAuctioneer
Smashing! Do I hear-
[Auctioneer looks on in bewilderment]
[hesitant] Two....thousand!
[Auctioneer's monocle falls out in astonishment]
[Ratso and Finn are giving money to Tohru]
FFinn
This is all we got Tohru.
Ratso; Think they take nunchuks?
[The Dark Hand enforcers have Jackie bound and strapped in his wheelchair near the water's edge.]
[Tohru pushes the wheelchair hard with his foot; it rolls forward and plunges into the water with a splash. Jackie sinks underwater still bound. Fade to black, then bubbles rise on the surface.]
FFinn
Have a nice swim, Chan.
Hope you haven't eaten for an hour. [waves mockingly]
[Jade, being held by the enforcers nearby, watches in horror] [gasp]
You! [points at Ratso] Fanboy. The doll. [points at Gnomecop atop a trash can]
GGnomecop
[investigating the trash can] sniff sniff TurboTroll is near...
[The enforcers run toward Gnomecop to catch him. Jade struggles in Tohru's hold, pulls out a TurboTroll toy, and gets Gnomecop's attention.]
GGnomecop
notices Gnomepower! [jumps over the enforcers toward Tohru; Jade slips free as Gnomecop distracts them]
Here he is~ and there he goes! [sticks TurboTroll in Tohru's pant leg; Gnomecop dives in after it in chase. Tohru spins around frantically trying to get Gnomecop out]
[Meanwhile, underwater: Jackie quickly unbinds himself from the wheelchair straps using his martial arts skills, kicks off the bottom with his good leg, and heads to the surface.]
[Jade runs and jumps in.]
Hang on, Jackie! [Jade cannonballs into the water without hesitation.]
[They miss each other initially underwater. Jade searches, sees only the empty wheelchair sinking.]
[Jackie swims back down and taps her on the shoulder underwater.]
[Jade gets a big startled jump/reaction at first.]
[She instantly switches to huge relief when she sees he's safe and okay. They share a quick relieved moment underwater, before surfacing together toward the pier. Once surfaced, they share another hug/relief moment.]
FFinn
Big V, d-d'you think you c-could turn up the h-heat?
[Shendu breathes fire at them]
Careful, Shendu. If you charbroil the help, they'll never find the next talisman.
The next talisman is insufficient, Valmont. I need all twelve to shed this petrified form, and regain my true powers.
We are working on it, Shendu.
With your customary ineptitude, once again, this Chan has snatched a talisman from your so-called professionals...
Too bad Chan ain't working for us!
Perhaps he can be persuaded...
[checks all talismans in the bag] One is missing!
No way! I cleaned out the vault! [gasp] I forgot the horse one at Uncle's! Um, if you give me the antidote, I really for sure promise to get you the other one. Scout's honor?
FFinn
Tch. Like she's a scout. [Tohru drops the antidote]
No! [vial containing the antidote shatters] Why?!
[sneezes] Because Chan makes me sick!
Don't worry, Jade. Uncle will come through.
...We don't need your stinking antidote!
Hey Jade, is your Uncle Jackie gonna wow the class about... [chuckles] the secret agent business?
You bet, Drew. And the truth is gonna blow your mind.
Oh, you mean the truth about ninjas, magic talismans, that four hundred pound giant named Tofu?
His name is...[Tohru suddenly burts through the wall] ...Tohru. [Ratso and Finn follow Tohru holding a bound and gagged Jackie and Uncle] Jackie! Uncle!
Jade, hand over the talismans.
FFinn
Or we chop down your family tree.
You guys are the ones going down. [kicks Finn] Hyah! Hyah! [punches Ratso, Tohru charges her and is kicked to the floor] Hyah!
I'm sorry I doubted you, Jade!
No homework for the rest of the year! [the kids cheer wildly]
[Jade wakes up]
If you're through daydreaming, could you tell us the capital of Italy?
[Jackie-Dark, Chow, and Finn are laughing loudly about their recent fight]
And when the fish hit the road, you guys all went, "BWAH!"
[more loud laughter]
FFinn
You know Chan, you're all right!
Too bad we gotta eliminate you.
[more loud laughter]
ELIMINATE ME?! [laughing hard]
[After Shendu refuses to reward the Dark Hand with the treasure he promised them.]
Tohru, make this deadbeat puny up!
[Finn, Ratso, and Chow back away from Tohru.]
