Téa, Yugi and others in “Unfinished Business”

Hey, Joey! Snap out of it! We're your friends, remember?!

Téa's right! I have an idea!

What is it?

I may have come up with a way to save Joey, and get us outta this mess!

What's that?

Well, it came to me when Tea reminded us of our friendship. There's a chance we can break through to the real Joey. I think you should let me duel in your place.

But why?

Because through thick and thin, Joey and I have always shared a really strong bond. A bond I think might break through to him now. We've been through so much together, like the time when he rescued me from that fire. Joey and Tristan risked their lives for me, and now it's my turn.

This is a very dangerous match, Yugi.

I know it is. But I can't let that stop me. I feel in my heart that if there's anyone in the world who can get through to Joey right now, it's me.

But, Yugi...

I'm ready to go in there and do whatever I have to do! Joey's my best friend and I know he'd do the exact same thing for me. Please understand, Yami. This isn't something I want to do, it's something I feel I have to do.

Well, Yugi, if you feel that strongly...Then go. Go and rescue your best friend and know that I will be right here should you need me.

OK, Joey, it's just us now!

What?! NO! I want the Pharaoh! Not this little runt! I want to defeat the ancient ruler! That spineless coward! He sent little Yugi to protect himself! You cheat! I want to destroy the Pharaoh! But then again, this may be just what I needed. I can win this duel with ease now that I'm up against little Yugi instead of the Pharaoh. And it doesn't really matter which one of them I defeat. I'll still win the Millennium Puzzle and Slifer the Sky Dragon!
