Samurai Jack · Season 1
[Ashi is relieved when the blue alien children prove to alright by regaining their consciousness and freed from the mind control]
We did it! Samurai, we saved them! [Ashi becomes concerned that Jack is nowhere to be seen] Samurai? Samurai? SAMURAI JAAAAAACK!
Are you sure she was the one? Aku's bounty hunter?
[The two Woolies attempt to crush Ashi between them, but she escapes unharmed]
We will not let you hurt the Samurai!
[surprised] Hurt? I don't... [and then speaks calmly] Look, I'm not trying to hurt him. I'm trying to find him. I think he's in trouble.
You are...his friend?
[conflicted with her feelings] I...don't know.
We are his friends! It was long ago that we were slaves. And then Jack came. He risked his life to save ours.
Miss, the bearded fella you inquired about, he got off here.
Thank you for sharing your story.
[gasps] You're supposed to get off when you land!
If you're one of Aku's minions, we suggest you run. If you are another, then reveal yourself.
I seek the samurai.
[The Archers knew that Ashi would attack Samurai Jack]
No, I seek to help him. He might be in danger.
[happily accepts her truth] A friend of Samurai Jack is a friend of ours. Come.
[The Archers then escorts Ashi back to their village]
Welcome to our home. None of this would exist if it wasn't for him.
[The Archers show Ashi a statue of Samurai Jack in his honor]
We were cursed, bound to guard a magical portal. The samurai was able to defeat us, but instead of using it to fulfill his quest...he freed us. An act of unmeasurable sacrifice.
[After hearing their story of Jack's heroism, he then reveals the reason that they been cursed]
Later, we learned the curse was of Aku's doing.
Have you seen him? Has he passed through here?
No. Since that day, we have not seen him, but we now stand against Aku. If he is ever in need, we will be there.
Thank you. I have to go.
[reading a sign] "Aku's Current Top Assassins: 1. Deathblow 2. Da-Bomb! 3. Scaramouch"?! Oh baby, I have come down in the world. Well, how do you like that? One day you're the star of the show, the next you're the third act of a two-act play.
Has anyone seen the Samurai?
What do you want with the Samurai?
I...I think he might be in danger. He needs my help.
[she takes off her headset or headphones and holds up her hands to form an "S". The Ravers do the same with their hands] Samurai...DROP! [sings] We will never forget you 'till the day we die! Samurai...Samurai. [lights begin to glow around the arena and the Ravers give a light show as Olivia continues her beautiful song] Aku enslaved the Children with his beats from Hell! But then, he came and fought the evil away! It was the Samurai! The Samurai! [everyone starts to do Jack's dance, even Ashi] We will never forget you 'till the day we die! Samurai! The Samurai! Samurai!
[as the song ends and a spotlight is casted on Ashi, Ashi stops dancing and looks at the Ravers as they all smile at her kindly]
[bows or nods in respect] Thank you. [she turns to walk away into the spotlight to continue her search for Jack] I will find him. I MUST find him.
[Scaramouch's head boards a ship with a body]
Whoo hoo! Numero Uno, here I come!
[a voice inside Scaramouch's head clears his throat, takes Scaramouch off his tiny phallic head]
That's 50 credits, bud.
Trust me, babe, I'm good for it.
Yeah? [puts him down] Well, the last guy I trusted did this to me! [walks off]
Oh, it's all good, baboo. Aku will give me anything once he hears the news.
[starts humming/scatting for a beat]
Whoa! What a freak. Looked like a talking penis.
[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?!
[whispering] I'm looking for Samurai Jack.
Huh? What you say?
I'm looking for Samurai Jack.
What's that? Damn it, girl, speak up!
[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]
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!
[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?
[yelling loudly] I USED TO GO TO THE BATHROOM, BUT NOW I GO IN A BAG!
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.
Um... that doesn't sound bad at all.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU AIN'T GOT NO SOUL, YOU ROBOT FOOL!
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.
Are you the one looking for the Samurai?
Yes.
Are you his friend?
[hesitates, then truthfully admits softly] Yes.
Follow the path north.
Who-?
[Ashi sees that the ghostly female is gone]
Samurai? [she sees Jack and she's relieved] Samurai!
[She becomes very worried and frightened when she notices a sword laying before him]
Jack?
You may witness but you cannot proceed any further.
Witness? Witness what?
The end.
[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]
[runs to Jack] Stop!
[backhands Ashi] This does not concern you. There is no hope.
[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.
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!
No! The children! THEY'RE ALIVE! You saved them!
NO MORE WORDS!
[nervously] I, um...like your hair...and dress.
[Ashi smiles; touched at the compliment but then becomes serious]
What now?
It is time...to find my sword.
Whew... That was close! I didn't think you'd get here so fast. [Seeing Jack run towards the portal, Aku destroys it before Jack can even get to it] Fool! Oh, fun fact! That was the last remaining time portal in existence! [laughs evilly]
[Jack bends over and starts growling and grunting with anger]
Ooh, so angry! Be careful, Samurai. So much stress will give you a heart attack! Oh! What am I saying? Please continue. Never mind what *I* said!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
[Jack tries to attack Aku, while Aku backs up and evades Jack's attacks]
WHOOOA! Ho, ho! Not so fast, Samurai! I know better than to mess with THAT sword. But before I go, I'll leave you with someone to play with!
[Aku transforms the cute little goats into huge monstrous demon creatures]
[Jack is about to go into the spirit world to reclaim his magical sword]
I don't know how long this may take.
I'll go with you.
You cannot. This is something that I must do on my own.
[slightly disappointed] Guess I'll just...wait here then?
[in an angry tone] Where do you think you're going?
Up the mountain to kill the Samurai! What's it to you?!
I'm going to stop you!
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.
[determined] No. You were wrong about everything. Jack showed me the truth.
Then you, too, will die!
[She lunges at Ashi, but Ashi kicks her mother back and they fight.]
