This is the imperial palace, where the Empress lives and eats pie. And that is the bakery. But we cannot take the path there. The bakery is guarded with traps.
Traps?
Traps! So ninjas cannot get to the bakery and steal pies. Come. We will take this secret underground passageway to the bakery!
Stop!
Huh?
You are not ready to make pie.
Sure I am. Pie-ya! Pie-
[takes the wooden spoon out of Austin's hand] Young Austin, before you can make pie, you must learn to make pie. And to learn to make pie, I must teach you to make pie. Do you understand?
Yes, Master Pie Maker Tyrone.
Very well. Your training begins… [clangs a wooden spoon on the pan like a gong] Now! [singing] Do you wanna make pies?
[singing] Yes, I wanna make pies.
[singing] Let me see it in your eyes!
[singing] Yes, I wanna make pies.
[singing] Then try this exercise.
[Tyrone and Austin arrive at Empress Tasha's palace and meet up with her after being called over to know what kind of pie she desires]
Empress Tasha, we heard your call for pie, and we came right away.
Yes, today is a very good day for pie. But there is only one problem... I don't know what kind of pie I feel like today.
Well, your majesty, we could do a rhubarb pie, or a pecan pie. We could even do a quiche.
Those are all very fine pies indeed. But today, I wish to have something different. Something unusual. Something special.
Hey, what about the Great Pie?
[Tyrone gasps and covers Austin's mouth]
What did you say?
[hesitantly] Uh, nothing, nothing.
The Great Pie! That's what he said. What a marvelous idea!
[Meanwhile, Ninjas Uniqua and Pablo secretly overheard the conversation from the window]
The Great Pie?!
All right! [she and Pablo high-five]
Uh, your majesty, did I mention that figs are in season?
No, no, no. It is settled. The Great Pie it shall be!
[annoyed with Austin] I cannot believe you mentioned the Great Pie!
Don't worry. I know we can make it. [makes a karate pose] Pie-ya!
No, not "we." You!
[surprised] Huh?
Making this pie was your idea, so you shall make this pie.
But-
No buts! If you wanna be a master pie maker, this is your true test. Make the Great Pie.
[Austin gulps nervously, knowing that this isn't going to be easy.]
[astounded] Young Austin, this... This is a beautiful pie. The shape - so round. The size - just right. The crust - so crusty. [impressed] You have learned well, Young Austin.
Do you think it is... The Great Pie?
There's only one way to know for sure, and that is for the Empress to taste it.
[Ninjas Pablo and Uniqua enter the bakery]
[accidentally landing on some ceramic tints; clumsily] I meant to do that.
[gasps] Ninjas!
GET THE PIE!
PROTECT THE PIE!
[Ninjas Pablo and Uniqua soar through the air and land on the table with fighting poses after Tyrone and Austin move Great Pie out of the way]
[holding the pie with both hands] Master Tyrone, what do we do?!
There is only one thing we can do. PIE FIGHT!!!
[as he and Tyrone both get hit by pies in their faces during the fight] Where is everyone?
I can't see!
Get the Great Pie! [she and Pablo start to run away with the pie]
They've got the pie!
My masterpiece! Stop them!
[annoyed] Oh, brother. [walks up to Mummy King Tyrone's sarcophagus and knocks on the door] Excuse me, but I am not a monster.
You're not? Huh. I guess you don't look like a monster.
[Austin, Mummy King Tyrone, and Werewolf Uniqua arrive at Vampire Pablo's castle]
It's spooky in here.
It certainly is.
There's a sign. It's a very good thing I read vampire. It says... [reading] "Warning: Do not go up the stairs!"
Sounds good to me.
[agreeing] Yup!
Nice try, monsters. Now come on. [they walk up the stairs and find another sign; reading] "Okay, you asked for it."
Asked for what?
[They see the stairs starting to collapse]
RUN!
[turns around, noticing that Mummy King Tyrone, Werewolf Uniqua, and Vampire Pablo are out of his sight] Mummy King? Werewolf? Vampire? They're gone! This is the worst birthday ever. [sighs sadly] Well, I guess I better tell the mad scientist that I lost all the monsters. [opens the laboratory door, where it's completely dark] Hello? Mad Scientist? [enters and the door closes] Why is it so dark?
[The lights suddenly turn on, revealing the laboratory decorated with birthday balloons and streamers.]
Happy Birthday, Austin!
[gasps in surprise] A birthday party?! For me?! [to Tasha; overjoyed] I can't believe you remembered!
[smiling] Of course I remembered, Austin. How could I forget your birthday?
[happily] I thought this was gonna be a terrible birthday, but it's the best birthday ever!
The pearl is guarded by a very angry clam.
No clam is too angry for a swimmer as swift as I am.
[walking up to a mailbox; to the viewers] Guess what today is? Valentine's Day! I'm sending Valentines to Pablo and Tasha, but don't tell them 'cause it's a surprise. [shushes and puts the two letters in the mailbox] Grrr!
[to the viewers] Valentines, for Pablo and Uniqua! [shushes and puts them in the mailbox] Grrr!
[to the viewers] Valentines, for Uniqua and Tasha! [shushes and puts them in the mailbox] Grrr!
Everyone done?
Yup!
Good, then let's go pick up some litter!
[They drive off before Mailman Tyrone arrives in his mail truck]
What a beautiful day to deliver the mail! [walks over to the mailbox and takes out the letters] Let's see where this mail is going. "The Juice Box Joint." Wow! That's in the middle of nowhere! But I'll get it there, because I never fail to deliver the mail!
[gasps fearfully as he sees the Do-Gooder Bikers by the trash can after picking up the litter while driving down the road, mistaking them as bad bikers] Rough, tough, bad bikers! [the bikers see him approaching; gasps again] They've spotted me! [nearly skids his mail truck off the road, and doesn't know that his mailbag flies out of the back window and lands on the road]
His bag fell out!
Mailman!
Bikers! [hurries into his mail truck]
Wait, wait! We have your mailbag!
Wait!
We can catch him! Let's ride!
[They hop on their motorcycles and chase after Mailman Tyrone as they leave the gas station.]
[seeing the bikers catching up with him through the diver side window] Oh, no! They're right behind me! I better take the shortcut. Those bikers won't stop me!
[He drives his truck into the left direction, off the highway, and into of the desert.]
He's taking our favorite shortcut!
Let's ride!
Just look at them, Henchman Tyrone. Aren't they beautiful?
Yes, they are. Very, very beautiful. They're the most beautiful... Uh, what are they?
These are secret containers, and very soon... they will be mine! [laughs evilly] Come on, laugh.
Who, me?
Yeah! You're my henchman. You're supposed to laugh with me.
Oh, sorry, boss.
Don't call me boss! I'm a lady!
Yes, lady.
[forcing Pablo to stay seated in a chair and do nothing; sternly] Pablo, you are to sit in this chair and stay in this chair. No touching anything, no doing anything, and no helping. Do you understand?
But… what if you need help?
I don't need any help. I am Sinbad, and Sinbad sails alone. I can do it myself!
[incredibly enraged with the clowns for making him miss his train] CLOWNS!!!!! [echoes] I am so mad! You made me miss my train! I have a circus to lead tonight in Big City, but I won't be there because of... CLOWNS!!!!! [echoes]
Somebody call for clowns?
[Austin makes the rimshot sound effect with drumsticks.]
Don't worry, Ringmaster Tyrone. We'll help you catch that train.
