## Dialogue

    El Loco Mosquito: Wrestle or Dare? I choose wrestle! Flyswatter of Humiliation! [turns into a flyswatter]
    El Haystack Grande: Grande Haystack of Crushing! [turns into a haystack]
    The Flea: The Flea cannot decide. So much lucha fun. So much wrestling excitement. Oh, why is life so very, very hard?
    Mama Manaica: Be good, Rikochet.
    Rikochet: Okay, Mama. Have fun.
    Mama Manaica: That's not a proper goodbye, mijo.
    Rikochet: Oh, Mama, do I have to?
    Mama Manaica: I'm waiting.
    Rikochet: Okay. [mumbling]
    Mama Manaica: Mama didn't hear you.
    Rikochet: I said… [mumbling]
    Mama Manaica: Mama still didn't hear you.
    Rikochet: Oh! [out loud] Mama's little pumpkin llama wants huggles and kisses and nuzzlings! [sees everyone staring at him, hearing what he said] Uh, I have to go now, Mama. [chuckles] Wrong number. [hangs up the phone]
    Mama Manaica: [hangs up] You know, I have an odd feeling that Rikochet is having a lot more than just a few friends over.
    Lonestar: He's having a party. Don't worry, mi amor. He'll grow out of it.
    The Flea: Okay, The Flea dares you to… [under control] Read a complete sentence from The Code of Masked Wrestling backwards.
    Rikochet: [offended] This is a ridiculous dare! I'm not going to do it.
    The Flea: Oh, oh, this is like so you. [imitating Rikochet] "Flea, this is a fantastic dare, but I am too… [bawks] chicken to do it."
    Rikochet: I am not chicken! I am fearless! I laugh at the dingo of danger! I tease the tiger of terror! I mock the monkey of being very scared and hiding in a closet! I demand that you take that back!
    The Flea: Sorry, The Flea's hearing must be bad. The Flea thought you said… [bawking]
    Rikochet: [groaning agitatedly] I mean it, Flea. Call me chicken one more time, and I will not be responsible for my actions!
    The Flea: Really? [bawking]
    Rikochet: Bueno! You've done it now! I'm going to do your estupido dare! Then you shall see how unlike a chicken I am. Bawk-bawk! [annoyingly swipes the book out of The Flea's hands and reads a sentence in reverse] "When wrestling, never forget to lace up your boots, lest you trip and fall."
    [After Buena Girl, The Flea, Abuelito, and all the other luchadores unfreeze, they all gasp in horror at El Maléfico's appearance]
    Rikochet: What? What is it? Do I have food stuck to my face? [The luchadores all nod no] Is my mask coming untied at the back? [The luchadores all nod no again] Is there a big evil, demonic, villainous, scary, frightening giant figure in an inky-black coat behind me? [The luchadores all nod yes] Huh? [looks up at El Maléfico towering over him, chuckling evilly] Aye! Basura! Hola. Welcome to my party. May I take your coat? Make yourself at home. Have some punch. Perhaps you'd like a nibble?
    The Flea: Hey, look! The Flea found fifteen cents!
    Buena Girl: Flea, do you even realize what you've done?!
    The Flea: Sí. The Flea found fifteen cents!
    Headmistress: It's time to put evil in detention, permanently, with our combined move of…
    Mr. Midcarda, Headmistress, & Sr. Hasbeena: School Bus of Tardiness!
    Buena Mom: OUR TEETH! [faints]
    Buena Dad: This is so not buena!
    El Maléfico: I am getting stronger by the second. Nothing can stop me!
    Lonestar & Mama Maniaca: Don't be so sure.
    Lonestar: You have not defeated all the luchadores.
    El Maléfico: I have done it! I have defeated them all! And now, I feel the power of all the luchadores flowing through me. THE WORLD OF DAYLIGHT IS MINE!
    Lonestar: Rikochet, I am your father.
    Rikochet: Yeah, Papa, I know.
    Lonestar: But you don't know that I'm trapped here in Nether Nether Land, because I was defeated by… El Maléfico.
    Mama Maniaca: Mijo, El Maléfico must be stopped. You are brave, and honest, and true.
    Lonestar: We have faith in you. You can do it.
    Rikochet: This appears to be a nice and spicy restaurant menu. [flips the menu over] Oh, here's the map, covered in chili sauce and coffee stains. It shows the directions to the Cape of Courage, the Boots of Bravery, and the Tights of Tightness.
    Buena Girl: [facepalms] Aye, we'll never be able to collect them all before El Maléfico destroys the world.
    The Flea: Unless, we split up. The Flea will get the Cape of Courage, The Flea will get the Boots of Bravery, and The Flea will get the Tights of Tightness.
    Rikochet: Um, Flea, I think I'll do the splitting up. Buena Girl, you will search for the Boots of Bravery. Flea, you will find the Tights of Tightness. And I will get the Cape of Courage. We must find the Artifacts of Bueno-ness and return here immediately. It will not be easy. At times, we may want to give up.
    The Flea: The Flea wants to give up.
    Rikochet: But be strong. And always remember, we are luchadores who stand for the foremost important virtues: Honor!
    Buena Girl: Family!
    The Flea: Tradition!
    Rikochet, Buena Girl, & The Flea: And donuts!
    Rikochet: [with Buena Girl's body and The Flea's legs] My legs itch!
    Buena Girl: [with The Flea's body and Rikochet's legs] My body itches!
    The Flea: [with Rikochet's body and Buena Girl's legs] The Flea feels pretty!
    Buena Girl: Hold it right there, you evil man!
    The Flea: Your days of tyranny, and inky black coat wearing are over!
    Rikochet: You're going to release our parents and loved ones, NOW!
    El Maléfico: Is that right? Well, I guess you'll have to make me…if you have the guts.
    Rikochet: We have the guts, and we also have these!
    Slurf: [gasps] The Artifacts of Bueno-ness!
    El Maléfico: [sees Rikochet, Buena Girl, and Flea, now giant-sized; shocked] No! This cannot be!
    Rikochet: It is! And you're going down!
    Rikochet: Now, it's time for the ultimate dishonor. It's time to unmask El Maléfico! [yanks off El Maléfico's mask and gasps]
    [Everyone and Slurf all gasp in shock to see that El Maléfico is revealed to be…]
    Rikochet, Buena Girl, & The Flea: Jenny Perkins of 13932 Jefferson Way?!
    Narrator: See? I had it right all along. Jenny Perkins is evil.
    Buena Girl: Time for you to go back where you belong, Jenny Perkins! [opens up The Code of Masked Wrestling book and a vortex emerges and picks up Jenny Perkins and Slurf, sucking them into the book]
