So who's the bad guy dejour? Gizmo, Mad Mod, Killer Moth?
Starfire
The reports say there's an intruder.
Well, whoever it is, we're gonna totally kick their- [Beast Boy bumps into Robin]
[sees Slade. Beast Boy gasps] No!
It's been a long time, hasn't it, Titans? A month? A year? A millennium? Far too long for my tastes anyway. I was beginning to think I'd never see your smiling faces again.
You! How did you survive?
Terra took you down! Way down!
Slade! I don't know where you've been but you shouldn't have come back! I'm still ready.
[chuckles] That's precious, Robin. But I didn't come back for you.
[The Titans are re-holding the surprise party]
[quietly] Um... surprise?
Look... we know you didn't want a party, but after... today...
Starfire
We hoped that you might reconsider.
You may not like your birthday, but we're all glad you were born!
[Silence]
We're going to need ice cream.
Starfire
And I shall fetch the Throknarr!
What you told me about your destiny; that something bad was supposed to happen, I guess I did. I'm sorry I couldn't stop it.
We will find Slade. We'll figure out how he did what he did, and why he was after you. But right now, you're safe. You're here with friends. It's over.
[He joins them while Raven's hands begins to glow]
No. This was just the beginning.
Let's see... [Very fast] Eight number 3's, five number 2's, two number 1's, and a diet soda.
Actually, we don't have soda here - only meat.
Okay, make it a cup of meat juice.
Starfire
Tell me, Beast Boy, particularly what variety of meat do you serve?
Bob says that's a trade secret.
And why are you the only one working here?
Bob says that's a trade secret, too.
[After Starfire successfully broke apart the minefield]
Starfire
[gasps] You do not ever call me that!
But Val-Yor calls you "Troq" all the time.
Starfire
That does not make it right.
What's up? I thought you said it didn't mean anything.
Starfire
No. I said it means "nothing". When Val-Yor calls me "Troq", he is saying that I am worthless. A nothing.
Starfire
There are those on other planets who feel Tamaraneans are inferior. "Troq" is what they call us.
So he's calling you a terrible name. And you know that if you punched him out, it'll just confirm all the bad stuff he thinks about you.
Starfire
Yes. Do you know what it feels like to be judged simply by how you look?
Of course I do; I'm part robot.
VYVal-Yor
Thank you for all your help.
Don't thank us; thank Starfire.
Yeah, she's the one that saved your sorry butt.
VYVal-Yor
Thank you, Starfire. I have to admit, you're not bad for a Tr... Tamaranean. You must be one of the good ones.
Starfire
No. The fact that I rescued you does not make me better than other Tamaraneans.
VYVal-Yor
Look, I'm trying to pay you a compliment.
Then why does it still sound like an insult?
VYVal-Yor
[to Robin] Spike, you understand. I didn't mean anything by it, it's just-
Val-Yor. I think it's time for you to go.
VYVal-Yor
I thought you Earthlings were alright. I guess I was wrong - you're just like the Troqs.
[He flies up into his spaceship and leaves]
I'm sorry Val-Yor treated you like that. If I'd know, I never would've let it happen.
Starfire
There is nothing you could have done. There will always be people who say mean words because you are different. And sometimes, their minds cannot be changed. But there are many more people who do not judge others based on how they look or where they are from. Those are the people who's words truly matter.
Starfire
It appears to be some kind of...prophecy.
Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good.
This is some serious evil, even for Slade.
Not Slade, whoever he's working for.
Starfire
Scath.
"The gem shall be his portal". Scath is coming and this gem is how he gets here. If we're going to stop him, we need to find it and destroy it.
Starfire
Robin. Where is Raven?
The ancient Order used the name "Scath" to protect the true identity of their master. We know him as Trigon.
Are you serious?! That's who we're up against? Oh, man.
Starfire
His cruelty is legendary, even on my world.
So, what makes you go all glow-y in the dark?
It's a warning. It means Trigon is coming. And the way he gets here is through me. I'm not just a person...I'm a portal.
Because Trigon...is my father. Bad things are gonna happen soon. Really bad things. And it's gonna be my fault. I thought I could handle this on my own. I tried, but... I was wrong.
[Starfire puts her hand on shoulder]
Starfire
For confiding in us, we are most humbled.
I only have one question: how do we stop him?
That doesn't mean we still can't try.
[The Titans watch the sun rise; Beast Boy has his arm around Raven's shoulder]
[After the gang supposedly defeats a Shrieker]
Starfire
I could not have done it without your assistance.
Starfire
I too admire your abundant limb strength.
Let's go, unless you wanna stay here goofing around with your girlfriend.
Starfire
I am not your friend?
[A loud boom. Robin looks over the rail to see the Shrieker climbing back up]
Starfire
I am not a girl?
[From the TV wearing a chef's hat] Remember: if you're not grilling with Cy-B-Q Sauce...you just ain't cooking.
AAnnouncer
Cy-B-Q Brand. Official marinade of the Teen Titans.
Starfire
I thought our official marinade was Zorbrian spider juice.
Yeah, but that's because you slopfar ug mopzorn!
Starfire
[laugh] Mopzorn!
[The episode opens with the Titans waking up in the Tower]
Uh... How did I- Hey! I'm hungry!
Starfire
But... who is going to feed us?!
MMMother Mae-Eye
Hello, sweeties! Now that we've all had a nice nappy-wappy, what would my hungry little ones like to eat?
Starfire
Pie!
[After Starfire freed the Titans from the oven and fought through Mother Mae-Eye's cookies]
[gasps] You broke Mother's cookies.
RCRaven and Cyborg
Oooooh...
Starfire
Please, friends, you must believe me! A bump on the cranium has allowed me to see Mother for what she really-
RBRobin, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Raven
[sing-song] You're gonna get in trouble, you're gonna get in trouble.
Starfire
[Holds up a rolling pin] Forgive me.
[She whacks them all in the head]
Why'd you do that - ummm ... why am I in a giant pie?
Why am I in a bunny suit?
Who's been re-decorating my tower?
Okay, everyone. Just as we planned.
You said there was nothing we could do. We didn't agree, so we've been preparing for this day.
[He walks up to the door and places his hand on a hand-print reader. The door opens into a safety room]
[nods] We're ready to take on Trigon.
No. You can't be. Just go. Save yourselves.
We're not giving up. Neither are you. Our plan is simple. Raven, you are the portal. Trigon needs you to take over the Earth.
But if Trigon can't get to the portal, then he can't take over.
Starfire
So all we must do is keep the Trigon from getting to Raven.
[The Titans walk into the room. Cyborg, who was carrying Raven, places her on the ground]
You'll be safe in here. Everything's ready. I've installed all the latest state of the art technology. Nothing alive is getting in here.
Starfire
[about the symbols on the wall] And these symbols should keep out everything else. [She produces one of books] We took them out of your books.
[Some pages of the book fall out]
Just in case you need some extra mojo.
This is all great, but it's not gonna make a difference. Today the prophecy will be fulfilled. Trigon is coming. There's no stopping him.
There's never been a villain we couldn't stop before.
Trigon isn't a villain. He is the incarnation of evil, the source of all darkness. The-
Okay, bad dude, we get it.
No. You don't. You don't know Trigon.
And Trigon doesn't know the Titans. Stay in here. We'll be watching from up there [he gestures to a viewing area] if you need us.
[The Titans leave but Beast Boy stops in the doorway, looks at Raven and runs back to her]
[gives Raven the cent he found] For luck.
[He runs back out]
All the luck in the world won't help us now.
