Dareth quotes from Ninjago

Uh, Dareth, what is this all about?

Dareth

Well, I fell behind on some of my payments and some developer named "Darnagom Enterprises" is buying the entire block to put in some stupid frisbee-golf course. They say if I don't come up with 50,000 by tomorrow, the dojo is gone.

But we already lost the Bounty. We can't lose the dojo now.

Dareth

[picks up his trophies] My trophies. Oh, my fake trophies! [sobs]

[notices something] Wait a minute, "Darnagom"? When you rearrange the letters, it spells—

"O Grandma"?

No! Garmadon!

Right. [laughs] That would make more sense.

Um, my dad is behind this?

If he destroys the dojo, where will we train Lloyd?

Dareth

[to Wu] Any chance you got 50,000 in that teapot of yours?

WWu

Worry not, Dareth. You're not in this alone. We're all with you.

[Nya enters]

Did someone say 50,000—?

[gasps] You didn't happen to win the lottery?

No, but I heard about Ninjaball Run!

WDWu, Dareth and Ninja

Ninjaball Run?

It's the biggest road race in Ninjago, with a prize of 100,000 big ones. And it's tomorrow.

Dareth

I thank you, little lady fighter, but you're talking about the most dangerous race known to man. Only the most serious of racers even stand a chance.

But didn't you just do a few upgrades on our Ultra Sonic Raider? Maybe we might stand a chance.

And I can enter with my Dragon. You did say I needed the practice.

WWu

So it is agreed. You will all enter this "Ninjaball Run" to save the dojo.

[notices Dareth crying] Are you still crying?

Dareth

Yes, but these are happy tears.

[a Kabuki starts fanning too close to him] If we're gonna convince anyone, argh, we need proof. Ugh. We need to, oh, find that spell. [to the Kabuki] Would you cut it out?!

[The Kabuki is revealed to be Nya]

Jay, it's me.

NGNinja and Garmadon

Nya?

Lower your voices. I'm undercover. And to be completely honest, a bit out of my element. And I heard what happened to Cole. That was big of you both.

Love is like war, Nya. Everybody gets hurt.

Is it just you, sis?

Dareth's also on the island.

Dareth

[on a communication device] What up, ninja?

And in contact with Wu via mobile base.

If you're undercover, that means you can get close to Clouse's spellbook. All we know is that it's on page 149. I think he might have it in his quarters.

I'll look into it. And it sounds like you have your work cut out for you too.

How so?

How do you think they found out about your little alliance? Someone in your circle of trust is a spy.

Okay, so maybe rolling ourselves up into giant egg rolls isn't the best plan. Anyone else have another idea?

Karlof

Karlof used to be aeronautical engineer back in Metalonia. Work on Roto Jets. Just one could take out entire army.

Oh, great idea. But two things, we don't have a Roto Jet, and what good is a jet if we're UNDERGROUND?!

Dareth

[on the conveyor belt] Okay, don't mind me, carry on whatever important business you're all doing.

Sure, we were only using that to hatch our escape. Dareth, what are you doing?

Dareth

Well, if there isn't a machine that makes puffy potstickers, by golly, I'm gonna make one.

That's it! Dareth, you've solved it.

How are puffy potstickers gonna help us?

We'll use machine parts to build the Roto Jet. Karlof, do you still remember the schematics of it?

Karlof

Of course.

Then it's set. Karlof and I will create a blueprint. Everyone else, find parts.

But… we're… underground!

Chen and his Anacondrai army have a day's start on us. Be prepared for anything and everything.

How did we lose so much time?

Dareth

You know, you took an oath never to leave a man behind.

And we're not all quick learners. Mastering your fear to create Power Dragons takes time.

Well, we're running out of that. There's Ninjago City. Hurry.

GGriffin

Hurry's my middle name.

Remember, whatever happens down there, we're stronger united. We fight as one.

Let's do this!

Dareth

[sees Nya] Oh, hey, sweetheart. Mind sticking around for a segment to teach girls how to apply makeup?

[angered] You're gonna need makeup when I rearrange your face! [walks over to punch Dareth]

[holds Nya back] Easy! [to Dareth] Nya's one of us now, there's no reason she should be treated differently.

Dareth

No reason? You added a girl to the group. You know how much that hurts your image? You're a boy band, a hunk machine!

No, we're equals. Our power comes from no one being more important than the other.

Important? No. Irresistible... uh, debatable. [winks at fangirls at the doorway]

Dareth

[chuckles] I don't tell you how to do your business, don't tell me how to do mine. Remember how every time you save Ninjago no one cared? Well, now Dareth's in charge and Dareth says don't change the recipe. You boys are the face of the franchise, and now the face of Teen Idol!

[He brings out a magazine with Lloyd on it and Jay and Cole on each side on a heart with Nya in it]

[reads the title] "Sensei Lloyd"? But I'm only a Sensei-in-training.

And what's this about me and Jay still fighting over Nya? That's old news.

Dareth

Who cares if it's real or not? Isn't this what you've always dreamed of? You're the hottest thing in Ninjago!

[Dareth visits the ninja at Kryptarium Prison]

What are you doing to get us out of here!?

This is no place for a Nindroid!

I don't look good in stripes!

They're all so mean! Help us! You have to help us!

Shh. While we're stuck in here, the Djinn is out there.

Dareth

I know, I'm doing everything I can. Borg wanted me to let you know that the Djinn broke into Hiroshi's Labyrinth Stronghold and took the Realm Crystal. The good news is everything else is accounted for. The bad news is the Djinn may now have his old crew back.

You have to get us out of here, Dareth. You're our manager. What are you doing to manage this?

Dareth

[whispering] Did you get the cake? I baked some tools in it for you to cut through the bars.

Cake? We didn’t get any cake.

Uh, how was I supposed to know there was something in it? I just thought it was crunchy.

You ate our only way out?!

Dareth

Well, looks like you’re on your own. Be strong, little ninja.

What do you mean on our own?

You're not leaving us in here!

Wait, Dareth!

Dareth

[walks to the Warden] If anything happens to them in here, you'll have to answer to the Brown Ninja.

WWarden

If there's a Brown Ninja out there, maybe he belongs in here too.

Dareth

Uh, I'll give him the message. Gotta go. [leaves]

Dareth

Someone stole my trophies!

Ronin

I have an alibi! Wait. Why would anyone steal your fake trophies?

Dareth

I know! They were irreplaceable. Which is why I'm here to buy replacements.

Ronin

You want world championships this time or just intercontinental?

Dareth

Uh, um, let's mix and match.

[Dareth shows Misako and Wu his apartment]

Dareth

I got this place in case the Brown Ninja ever needed a secret headquarters, heh. Truthfully, I'm a little bummed the ninja haven't needed me more.

Misako

Well, we need you now. This is perfect, Dareth.

[They go inside, but the room is very messy, making them gasp. Dareth tries to clean it]

Dareth

The toilet's on your right. If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. If it's blue, uh, I don't know what to do. [laughs, but Misako glares at him] Sorry. I guess this isn't the time for jokes.

[Jay is practicing his Yin-Yang promise to Nya with Kai]

[stuttering] Nya? I've wanted to ask you this for... a... long time. [holds up his Yin-Yang token] Um, will you... be my Yang?

No, no, no. You can't ask like that.

Why not?

You have to ask with confidence, like this. [switches Jay to his position] Hey, Nya, how's it going? I've been thinking... you and me... we make a pretty good pair. So what do you say we make it official? [slides around Jay, grabs the Yin-Yang token, and spins into a proposal stance] Will you be my Yang?

[gasps] Yes!

See?

Wait, no. I can't ask like that. It doesn't feel right, it feels too... I don't know— cocky.

Dareth

[enters] Who's cocky?
