## Dialogue

    Bass: Tina! It's showtime!
    Tina Armstrong: Dad! Not now I'm in my underwear.
    Christie Allen: Which I hate. Why you can't just sleep in the nude like me I'll never know.
    Bass: Oh my god.
    Tina Armstrong: No, Dad, she's just another fighter. We're just sleeping together.
    Bass: Yeah I can see that.
    Tina Armstrong: No. I mean we're not sleeping together. We're just... sleeping.
    Bass: Seems to me like my baby girl's found a special friend. We'll settle it tomorrow, sweetie. Nice to meet you miss.
    Christie Allen: Oh, it's Christie.
    Bass: Tina's real name's Christina!
    Tina Armstrong: Dad! Thanks a lot, bitch.
    Christie Allen: Save your strength sweetheart, big day tomorrow fighting daddy.
    Christie Allen: Look at this. They've been monitoring everything we do.
    Tina Armstrong: Jeez, bunch of pervs...
    Kasumi: [After landing way off course from the site] ... It's a sign.
    Tina Armstrong: Look little Miss Zen Master. This isn't Karate Kid, it's DOA... as in Dead or Alive, as in 10 million dollars...
    Kasumi: [Points to a sign] You don't understand. It's a sign.
    Ryu Hayabusa: Princess Kasumi, your brother is dead. Your destiny is to lead your people.
    Kasumi: I will not believe he is dead, until I see his body.
    Ryu Hayabusa: There is no body.
    Kasumi: Then he is not dead.
    Christie Allen: I Felt the Earth move
    Maximillian Marsh: That's the desired effect
    Christie Allen: No, really I felt the earth move!
    Kasumi & Leon: [Leon and Kasumi come crashing through the wall]
    Tina Armstrong: How the hell are we supposed to get up there?
    Kasumi: We better get going.
    Christie Allen: Well, you're both on your own. I don't do teams.
    Tina Armstrong: Well that's fine with me, any team you're part of is bound to lose anyway.
    Christie Allen: Well I'll remember that when I'm collecting the $10 Million.
    [Weatherby congratulates Helena on her progress in the match]
    Helena Douglas: Thanks, Weatherby.
    Weatherby: It's Weatherby, but... [shocked that Helena finally got his name right]
    Ayane: [Kasumi looks at her reflection in the mirror, while Leon is getting ready for his fight with Kasumi. Ayane breaks the mirror and fights Kasumi holding up her sword to Kasumi holding up a lamppost pole cut off] Before I take your life, will you repent for leaving the clan?
    Kasumi: My only goal is to find out what happened to my brother! [She and Ayane hear a bang on the door. Ayane then knocks the pole out of Kasumi's hand and flees]
    Hayate: [Donovan has kicked Hayate from the building where the girls and Hayabusa are having their microchips harvested in the tubes. He then falls and plummets 3 feet, almost to his death, until a pair of arms save him, and both of them grunt. Hayate realises that Ayane is the one that saved him, and she doesn't know he's alive] Ayane!
    Ayane: [She smiles at Hayate, surprised, and hugging him tightly] I thought you were dead! [Hayate and Ayane are locked in a passionate embrace and they kiss] I will never leave your side! [She and Hayate smile at each other]
    Kasumi: [She has just gotten the ninja star signal from Ayane, and agrees to meet her in the bamboo forest. She looks around for her and calls out to her] Ayane! I don't want to fight you! [Ayane then comes out of nowhere, yelling, sword in and engages in another fight with Kasumi. Ayane then cuts through various bamboo trees while Kasumi dodges her attacks and climbs over the tree and flips over. Ayane aims her sword at Kasumi, while Kasumi pushes a bamboo tree in front of it, blocking the sword]
    Ayane: You are a shinobi!
    Kasumi: So was Hayate when he came here. Yet, you did not pursue him!
    Ayane: Hayate was different! [She gets her sword out of the tree, and swipes it at Kasumi]
    Kasumi: Because you loved him? [She and Ayane resume fighting, Kasumi takes the sword out of Ayane's hand, and uses a bamboo trunk as a weapon then fights her, and aiming the trunk against her sword]
    Kasumi: Hayate is in both our hearts! Help me find out what happened to him!
    Ayane: [Coldly and bitterly] He's dead. [Kicks Kasumi] Prepare to join him! [She and Kasumi continue fighting, bamboo stick against sword, as Kasumi swings the stick against Ayane, then Ayane does a two-leg split against two bamboo trees, aiming her sword at Kasumi. She flips over and yells, as her sword splits Kasumi's kimono, practically showing her bikini. She then puts the bamboo sticks down]
    Helena Douglas: Don't you think the guy in the second row's cute?
    Christie Allen: Is there a guy in the world that you don't have a crush on?
    Kasumi: You can have him. But what about the other 300?
    [A whole army of martial arts soldiers charge at them]
    Tina Armstrong: [Pause] Why don't we just split em' up evenly?
