King Dedede
You're a kid.
Don't let that fool ya. My name's Knuckle Joe.
Cut the gab. Where's the Star Warrior?
[Tiff and Tuff gasp]
I know he's here. Where is he?
[Dedede and Escargoon both grunt in confusion]
King Dedede
Hm. [laughs] I happen to know just the Star Warrior you lookin' for.
Then spill your guts, tubby.
King Dedede
Uhhh, tubby?
Hey wise guy, this is the king you're talking about! You can't insult him because he's fat! Or because he's a big ignoramus! Or because he's a tightwad...[gets hammered by Dedede]
King Dedede
[clears throat] Sonny, I know just the Star Warrior you lookin' for, and his name's Kirby.
King Dedede
Say what? A princess?
Her name's Princess Rona, and I've heard through the grapevine that she's a real peach.
King Dedede
She sure sounds like a big hunk of heaven to me.
Not so quick, King Casanova. How do you know she's available?
King Dedede
[hugs Escargoon] Why else would she be comin' to Cappy Town but to find herself a royal husband? [throws Escargoon aside] Now get there straight to work! We gonna have ourselves a royal weddin'!
Wow, Tiff, I never knew what girls could be like 'til I met Princess Rona.
And what is that supposed to mean?
Before I met Princess Rona, I thought all girls were like you.
Is that so? Well before I met Commander Vee, I thought boys were like you. But now I know they can be gallant and handsome. ["Commander Vee" turns to her as if "he" just heard her. She gasps] I hope he didn't just hear me...
You must be Sir Ebrum's daughter, Tiff. I'm very pleased to meet you, Tiff.
I'm very pleased to meet you, Commander Vee.
And this amiable young man must be your brother Tuff.
[groans] What's amiable mean?
And who's your little pink pet?
Kirby isn't a pet! Kirby's a Star Warrior, Commander Vee.
Oh, a Star Warrior! I beg your pardon, Kirby! Please forgive my mistake. I'm especially pleased to make your acquaintance.
Poyo! [moves closer to "Vee" in a friendly manner]
[laughs] You're quite friendly for a warrior.
King Dedede
[laughs and bursts in with a bouquet of roses in hand] Sorry to louse up yer lunch. Ah, blossoms for a blossom.
I am very grateful, King.
King Dedede
Princess, I'm about to show ya the best time ya ever had in yer royal life.
I'm afraid that won't be possible.
King Dedede
Yeah? Why not?
Her Highness needs to rest after a long journey to your planet, and she doesn't desire a tour guide.
King Dedede
What's that?
Are you sure? He knows where all the hot spots are. He knows where you can get a pizza at 3 in the morning.
It's getting very late. Good night, Kirby.
On behalf of the Princess, we thank you for your kind hospitality.
Yes. Thank you very much.
King Dedede
That Vee vermin's makin' it hard for me to catch myself a queen.
Well it's not all his fault. Honestly, you're not exactly personality plus.
King Dedede
I'm gonna practice my proposal.
[later, King Dedede, Escargoon, and the Waddle Dees have set up a scene to practice the marriage proposal, with Escargoon perched up high]
King Dedede
[practicing his proposal to Princess Rona] Ah, sweet princess, of my heart.
King Dedede
From the moment I laid my big ol' eyes on your big ol' head, I knew you were my love.
King Dedede
And to show you how much I love you, I wrote a little thingy. This is when we cue the music. You over there, hit the button!
[The Waddle Dee starts playing the music]
King Dedede
Oh, don't you know, I love you, baby yeah ♪ I love you ♪
I give you four stars for presentation. [gets hit by Dedede's notebook]
King Dedede
Yeah, you'll see! She will be mine!
Did you get a glimpse of our coastline as you came in, Princess Rona?
Yes, it was so beautiful and interesting, Sir Ebrum.
[suddenly, the Waddle Dees close the curtains to the surprise of Sir Ebrum, Lady Like, and "Princess Rona", and King Dedede bursts in wearing a blue tuxedo and carrying a rose, dancing across the table towards "Rona" before the Waddle Dees generate smoke effects and Escargoon hands him a microphone]
King Dedede
I wanna make you miiiine ♪ Oh yeeeah, babyyy ♪ How's about we get hitched, honey?
[Lady Like faints and Sir Ebrum catches her]
King Dedede
Marry me, sugar pie. Can't you see I wanna make you my one and only flushin' bride?
RPReal Princess Rona
Excuse me!
[King Dedede gasps]
RPReal Princess Rona
King Dedede, I see you still persist in trying to woo the princess. [the Waddle Dees focus their lights on her] However, the princess remains unmoved by your misguided affection.
King Dedede
You stay outta this, ya pointy-headed pipsqueak!
RPReal Princess Rona
Then the princess will speak for herself.
I am sorry, but I cannot accept your proposal.
[Dedede's rose shatters like glass]
King Dedede
[cries] I wanna marry the pretty princess!
[To Princess Rona] You've broken the king's heart! [softly] How? I don't know, he doesn't have one.
King Dedede
You've made a mock-aroon of me, Mushroom Head! Let's duel! [throws glove at Rona]
Ebrum... [faints and is caught by Sir Ebrum again]
RPReal Princess Rona
I accept your challenge.
EPElder Pipi
Princess Rona!
EPElder Pipi
I say, Princess. Surely not another disguise.
I beg your pardon for my subterfuge, kind citizens. My lady-in-waiting took my place and I her.
EPElder Pipi
I trust you have had enough enjoyment for a while.
We shall discuss this matter privately, but I enjoyed it immensely.
[everyone laughs]
Looks like you won't be catering King Dedede's wedding.
King Dedede
My dreams are shattered. How will I ever fill this emptiness?
Ah, just do what you normally do. Have seven cheeseburgers.
These two stole your chick, and they were tryin' to turn it into a flyin' freakshow!
[Dyna Blade angrily glares at both Dedede and Escargoon]
King Dedede
But you ain't gonna listen, are ya?
King Dedede
Listen up, Dyna Bully! I'll have yer flyin' license revoked if you don't let us go!
[Dyna Blade drops Dedede and Escargoon towards the river and they scream]
I think our chances of survival are takin' a nose dive!
King Dedede
This is all yer fault, and if I don't survive, you're fired!
Let me hold on, maybe your belly will break our fall.
[Dedede and Escargoon scream some more as they fall into the forest river below]
King Dedede
[screams twice] You two's Escar-dentical!
ESEscargoon's Mother
Why did that vulgar loudmouth call himself king?
Don't worry. That guy's just pretending to be king.
ESEscargoon's Mother
He's pretending? But why?
It's his job to act crazy. Dedede's the court jester.
ESEscargoon's Mother
Court jester? You mean he's a clown?
King Dedede
[growls]
How's it going, Jester Dedede? I'd like to introduce you to Escargoon's mother!
King Dedede
That's his mama? [laughs] Just goes to show your bananas don't fall far from the tree! [laughs even harder] Well at least now I can see where Escargoony gets all his looks from! [wheezes]
ESEscargoon's Mother
: Junior's always looked like me ever since he was a bitsy baby.
King Dedede
Since you was a baby, huh? I bet you's was cute!
[clears throat] You may go take a hike now.
King Dedede
Who do ya think you are, orderin' me around?!
