[Ashi walks into Da Samurai's bar, and all thugs stare at her]
Hey, ma'am, close the damn door! You're lettin' all the heat out!
[Ashi is surprised and hesitant, but then walks into the bar and closes the door behind her; she starts to walk up to Da Samurai]
What you want here, leaf girl?!
Ashi[whispering] I'm looking for Samurai Jack.
Ashi
I'm looking for Samurai Jack.
What's that? Damn it, girl, speak up!
Ashi
[shouting loudly] I'M LOOKING FOR SAMURAI JACK!
[all the thugs swarm around Ashi]
You're looking for the Samurai?!
[he and all the thugs laugh]
APArmor-Plated Warrior
Little girl, Samurai Jack is the toughest S.O.B. out there. The last time we fought he did [removes his helmet to reveal a spaghetti-wired head with googly eyes and gnarled teeth mouth and speaks in a light voice] this to me!
VRViking Robot
[covered in band aids] Ha! That's nothing! Check me out! These things are literally holding me together! [one of the Warriors or Bounty Hunters remove one of his band aids, causing his left arm to fall off] Dude, really?
MLMaui-like Warrior
[yelling loudly] I USED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, BUT NOW I GO IN A BAG!
PLPopeye-like Robot
He busted me eye!
[Ashi stares in surprise, but turns to Da Samurai as he speaks up]
Man, these robotic cats got nothin' on me! 'Cause back in the the day, I was a bad-ass sa-mu-rai! I was Da Samurai! I was ALL about that slicin' and dicin'!
[it shows a montage of Da Samurai when he was younger]
Talkin' 'bout the Funk-A-Chop! The Whack-A-Hack! And of course the world famous...Turkey Carve! [it shows a montage of younger Da Samurai doing his "famous" moves. After all that, as it shows an image of Jack, Da Samurai now speaks heartwarmingly] But Samurai Jack enlightened me to the true meanings of being a samurai. Shortly after, I gave up my blade and top knot and became the bartender here at the place where we first met.
APArmor-Plated Warrior
Um... that doesn't sound bad at all.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU AIN'T GOT NO SOUL, YOU ROBOT FOOL!
DVDemonic Voice
I... have...RETURNED!
[everyone turns around to see Demongo the Soul Collector]
I, Demongo, have come to collect the souls of the greatest warriors!
[pause as everyone stares at him]
But I see I have come to the wrong place. [leaves]
[whistles] We got some straight-up freaks comin' through this place.
[The spirits of fellow samurai from ages long past emerge]
Great warriors of past, I welcome you. This samurai has failed his purpose and has accepted his fate.
[Still in a trance, Jack raises a sword, ready to take his own life; while Ashi watches in horror]
Ashi
[runs to Jack] Stop!
[backhands Ashi] This does not concern you. There is no hope.
Ashi
[starts to stand up] No! Hope lives. It is everywhere. I have seen it! Everyone you have touched, the people you have helped! You saved them!
Enough! Hope is just a fleeting sentiment. Your failure is real. You must face the consequences or continue to bear the guilt of your dishonor for all eternity.
Ashi
Jack, don't listen! You're being misguided! I've seen it! You saved countless innocence, but most of all...you showed me the truth! You made me see that there is so much more to me than I knew existed! You made me way more than what I was! [she is desperate now] THE HOPE YOU GAVE ME SAVED MY LIFE!
Death follows in your wake. Men, women, children. Yes! All those children dead because of you!
Ashi
No! The children! THEY'RE ALIVE! You saved them!
Ashi
Mother?
I knew you would fail us. You were the strongest, but the most unfocused. Always distracted, questioning everything! But all that can change. You can still honor our Lord Father. [offers a dagger] Destroy the Samurai, Ashi.
Ashi
[determined] No. You were wrong about everything. Jack showed me the truth.
[She lunges at Ashi, but Ashi kicks her mother back and they fight.]
How could you betray your family?! He killed your sisters! And you let him LIVE!
Ashi
No! You killed them! We were made for one purpose: to kill! Our fate was sealed the day we were born!
The Samurai is our mortal enemy. He must die, at any cost!
[She runs toward Jack's inanimate body, claws raised]
Ashi
[very shocked] No!
[She grabs a arrow and tosses it at the High Priestess, fatally impaling her and causing her to fall off the mountain. Then, Ashi faints, exhausted]
[Ashi wakes up in his arms, seeing his new original look]
Ashi
Jack?
Ashi
You got your sword. And a shave and a haircut.
Hmm...yes. And you...you have been very busy.
[the carnage caused on the Orcs by Ashi is shown]
OSOrc Solider
[in pain] Oww...
[bows or nods in honor and respect] Thank you.
Ashi
So, what next?
