## Season 1
### Kirby Comes to Cappy Town [1.1]

    Escargoon: Monster!? That's ridiculous! There's no monster in this castle!
    Cappy: Yes there is! It's big and it eats everything in sight!
    Escargoon: That's King Dedede! There's no monster. Now why don't you go on back to your homes so the King can have his supper in peace?
    Tiff: Hey, wait a minute, Escargoon! Not so fast! [Tiff, her brother Tuff, and their parents Sir Ebrum and Lady Like enter the throne room] How do we know you're not lying again?
    Tuff: Yeah, like you usually do?
    Escargoon: You have no right to speak to me that way. Your parents should slap you silly.
    Tiff: Papa, something funny's going on!
    Sir Ebrum: You might be right, Tiff. A monster is the kind of thing that Dedede would love.
    Lady Like: The king must be behind this!
    Escargoon: You're court official, how dare you accuse his royal highness! [to King Dedede] Want me to check 'em in for a two-week stay in the dungeon, sweet kingey?
    King Dedede: [Laughs and turns to face everyone else] A monster, huh? Would the monster happen to look anything that? [He points to a fish tank containing a small octopus]
    Cappy: That's it! That's the monster! Except it was a hundred times bigger!
    King Dedede: [laughs] Well you can see this ain't no monster, it's my new pet octopus. The only thing he likes to eat is sardines.
    [He drops one in the tanks. The octopus eats it]
    King Dedede: Hehehehe. Little fella wouldn't hurt a fly less it was on the end of a fish hook!
    Escargoon: Of course it wouldn't. Now get out and go back to your trailer park so the king can have his dessert! Go on! Poof, you're gone!
    [Tiff runs up to the octopus. The two exchange stares]
    Kabu: Tell me, citizens of Dreamland. For what purpose have you come to consult me?
    Sir Ebrum: We seek your wisdom and knowledge Kabu! For three nights a giant monster has been stealing our sheep.
    Lady Like: And it's robbing me of my beauty sleep.
    Mayor Len: King Dedede says it's not his monster...
    Chief Bookem: But I don't believe that rascal.
    Tuff: You know the truth, Kabu!
    Tiff: Please tell us where the monster is, Kabu, and how we can make it go away.
    Kabu: The monster is here. And all of Dreamland is in grave danger.
    Tiff: Why did he come here?
    Kabu: It was called here by your own King Dedede. [in the distance, Dedede and Escargoon are watching from Dedede's tank]
    Escargoon: Sounds like the big Kabu-na's got your number, crownie.
    King Dedede: [punches Escargoon on the head] That tattle-telling tiki!
    Kabu: The monster was created, by one far more powerful than King Dedede.
    Chief Bookem: I'd like to lock both of them up.
    Mayor Len: What can we do to stop them?
    Kabu: There is nothing you can do.
    [Everyone is in shock]
    Sir Ebrum: Oh dear!
    Lady Like: Oh dear me!
    Falala: Is Dreamland doomed?
    Tiff: Can anybody help, Kabu?
    Kabu: There is one hope... a Star Warrior traveling through space... whose name is Kirby.
    Tiff: Kirby.
    Tuff: Yay, Kirby!
    Tiff: Hmmm, bet he's cute!
    King Dedede: [He and Escargoon enter] That's trash you're talking, Kabu. Ain't no such person as Kirby.
    Escargoon: That's right. You're full of Kabu-loney.
    Kabu: Kabu can see the future.
    King Dedede: Then why don't you predict what's gonna happen when I push this here button?
    Kabu: I predict you will not push it.
    King Dedede: Hey Escargoon, did ya hear that one? [laughs] Well I predict you're dead wrong!
    Tiff: It's gotta be impossible, but your name wouldn't happen to be "Kirby"?!
    Kirby: Kirby! Kirby!
    Tiff: [After Kirby saves her from falling to her death] Kirby just saved my life.
    Tuff: A monster wouldn't have done that, Tiff.
    Fololo: You're right, Tuff.
    Falala: Maybe Kirby is a Star Warrior.
    Tiff: [dusting herself] Impossible, Falala. Warriors are big and strong, not pink and puffy! [Kirby walks by her, surprising her]
    Tuff: Hey, where are you going? [Kirby runs faster, and he, Fololo & Falala give chase] Hey, wait up!
    Fololo: He doesn't understand!
    Falala: Don't let him get away, Fololo!
    Tiff: Some warrior.
    Tiff: My parents work for the King, and we live in the castle. In case you were wondering, my name's Tiff.
    Kirby: Name Tiff.
    (Tiff gasps)
    Kirby: Name Tiff!
    Tuff: I'm her brother, Tuff.
    Kirby: Tuff.
    Fololo: And we're their friends Fololo...
    Falala: ... and Falala!
    Kirby: Fololo, Falala?
    Tuff: Guess Kirby must be a baby warrior.
    [Tiff, Tuff, Fololo, and Falala laugh]
    Mayor Len: ...And as Mayor of Cappy Town, I know I speak for everyone when I say we're pleased and proud to welcome our honored guest, the mighty Star Warrior Kirby.
    Chief Bookem: I can speak for myself, thank you.
    Mayor Len: Hah, we all know that, Chief Bookem.
    Tuff: Let's hurry up and eat.
    Tiff: Kirby doesn't understand what you're saying anyway.
    Mayor Len: Then let's dig in, shall we?
    [Kirby inhales everyone's dinner and then spits their accessories, plates, and silverware back out]
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Tuff: [yells in frustration and falls face-first on the table surface] I knew I should've started eatin'.
    Tiff: Hey, what's the big idea, Kirby?
    King Dedede: Careful with that starship, snailbrain! Once we get it fixed, we can send Kirby back where he came from.
    Escargoon: Why does he have to be so abusive? Self-esteem issues, anyone?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Welcome to Nightmare Enterprises, King Dedede. How may I assist you?
    King Dedede: Look, pal, I don't like to complain, but I paid you folks a lot of money for an octopus monster and it turned out to be a little shrimp.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Just give it time, Your Highness, and I guarantee that little shrimp will grow on you.
    King Dedede: Alright.
    King Dedede: [screams upon seeing that Octacon has grown to its true size] HOLY CALAMARI!
    Escargoon: Get back in your tank, you overgrown appetizer!
    King Dedede: [tackles Escargoon] Find the receipt for this thing, 'cause I want my money back!
    Meta Knight: You had better leave, Sire.
    Tuff: [about what Kirby did to Octacon's miniature octopus] He sucked 'em up.
    Tiff: Just like he sucked up our dinner.
    Meta Knight: It is Kirby's classic defense - inhale.
    Meta Knight: [about Kirby's transformation] That is Kirby's copy ability. After inhaling an attack, Kirby can transform himself. Kirby has now become... Fire Kirby.
    King Dedede: There goes my refund.
    King Dedede: Hey, I do believe we've been starstruck.

### A Blockbuster Battle [1.2]

    King Dedede: We gotta do somethin'. We gotta get rid of Kirby somehow before he gets settled in here.
    Escargoon: King Dedede, if you want my opinion-- [Dedede bonks him on the head with his binoculars]
    King Dedede: Who wants your opinion, when I want some monster that's gonna get rid of that pink pest once and for all? [activates the monitor and the N.M.E. Sales Guy comes on screen]
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Welcome back to Nightmare Enterprises online monster site, King Dedede. As you know, we offer a full line of powerful monsters. [shows several mini-monsters dancing]
    King Dedede: Yeah, well that octopus you sent me last time was a weaklin'.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Now that we know your opponent is Kirby, all our monsters have new, improved attack powers. [gets beaten up by the mini-monsters] See what I mean?
    King Dedede: They look like rejects to me. I need somethin' strong enough to get rid of Kirby...for good!
    Escargoon: Kirby's sure strikin' out with the plates.
    King Dedede: Then let's see if he can slide.
    King Dedede: What is this, a paperweight?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: No, King. It's a monster. A super-high density monster. We like to call him Blocky.
    King Dedede: What am I supposed to do, drop it in the road and wait for Kirby to trip over it?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Just let me give you a little demo.
    Escargoon: [about Blocky] This thing's even heavier than you, Sire.
    King Dedede: Yeah. Big enough to beat Kirby!
    King Dedede: This here's an illegal gatherin', so if you rioters don't want to get incarcerated, cease and disperse immediately.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Rioters?
    Tiff: Hey! We're just having a party.
    Escargoon: Oh goody. They're resisting.
    King Dedede: Then I enforce to use force.
    King Dedede: You dumb blockhead!
    Escargoon: We're sunk and so is he!
    King Dedede: I'm gonna miss my little Blocky!
    Escargoon: Well, Sire, it just goes to show you shouldn't take your monsters for granite.

### Kirby's Duel Role [1.3]

    Tiff: Meta Knight came here to see you, didn't he, Kabu?
    Kabu: He came here to consult with me about the threat to the planet.
    Tiff: Threat to the planet? What do you mean?
    Kabu: There is a secret empire of evil ruled by one known as eNeMeE. [does a flashback to a shadowed Nightmare placing Chess monsters on the chessboard in his lair] It is his plan to control the entire universe. He creates monsters and delivers them to customers like Dedede, who do not know their true purpose. But eNeMeE made one grave mistake. [Nightmare grimaces in pain as the shadowed sphere he was about to place on the chessboard has just stabbed his finger with a sword] One creature was produced that would not obey his orders, and eNeMeE fears it may defeat him. [Nightmare furiously slams the chessboard as the flashback ends]
    Tiff: The creature must be... Kirby.
    Tuff: Yeah, and that must be why eNeMeE's trying to get rid of him.
    Kabu: That is the likely explanation.
    Tiff: Well, we better get going. Thanks a lot, Kabu.
    Tuff: Hey, Kabu. Where'd ya learn all that stuff?
    Kabu: I learned it long ago, from Meta Knight.
    Tuff: Say what?!
    Tiff: From Meta Knight?!
    King Dedede: Well, that pink punk ain't gonna make a monkey out of King Dedede. [starts driving back to his castle only to be interrupted by Meta Knight] Outta my way, Meta Knight!
    Meta Knight: Sire, it is my duty to warn you. Kirby has great power now.
    King Dedede: Yeah? Well, who's the king around here, you or me?
    Escargoon: Move it or lose it!
    Meta Knight: It pains me to do this, sire. But I'm afraid I must. [kicks Dedede's tank downhill]
    King Dedede: Hey! What's happening?!
    Escargoon: We're going backwards!
    King Dedede: I know that! Hit the brakes!
    Escargoon: They won't hold, we're gonna crash!
    King Dedede: Do something!
    Escargoon: Like what?!
    King Dedede: Break my fall!
    [The tank reverses off a nearby cliff and crashes off-screen]

### Dark and Stormy Knight [1.4]

    King Dedede: QUIET!!! [pointing at Tiff] You hiding something from me!
    Tiff: Hmph.
    Sir Ebrum: Please, Your Majesty, calm down.
    Lady Like: Use your brain instead of your mouth. [Sir Ebrum tries to shush her]
    King Dedede: Sir Ebrum. Lady Like. This here daughter of yours is holdin' information from me. She's keepin' secrets about Kirby.
    Escargoon: You've been aiding an alien, you traitor.
    Tuff: Well if she's a traitor, prove it!
    [Dedede and Escargoon laugh heartily]
    King Dedede: It just so happens I got proof right here. [holds up a picture of a familiar-looking scene] This picture look familiar?
    Tuff: That's Kirby beatin' the monster!
    [a flashback occurs to the time that Kirby demonstrated his powers for the first time and defeated Octacon]
    King Dedede: [tears another picture in half] Now what do you got to say for yourselves?
    Lady Like: [as she and the rest of the family look at the pictures] That Kirby is really photogenic.
    Sir Ebrum: Did you use a digital camera, Sire?
    King Dedede: Listen here! You two think you're so smart, don't ya? Well I'm a lot smarter. [holds up a picture of Kirby's starship] Kirby ain't goin' nowhere without this!
    King Dedede: I'll show them kids. If I can't earn respect, I'll just buy it... from Nightmare Enterprises.
    King Dedede: What's Kracko firin' at us for?!
    Escargoon: I don't know! I'm as shocked as you are!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Just give it time. It'll get the job done.
    King Dedede: [sneezes] No way, José! You take it back!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Sorry, Your Majesty. But our contract says that Kracko can't be sent backo! [laughs]
    King Dedede: That's a low-down dirty-- [sneezes again]
    Meta Knight: This is not a storm. It is a monster, brought here by King Dedede. It is called Kracko.
    Tiff: Kracko?
    Meta Knight: The king is jealous and suspicious of Kirby. He will do anything to get rid of him. So he has been ordering monsters.
    Tiff: I know. Kabu told me.
    Meta Knight: There is a company. They call it... Nightmare Enterprises. [starts flashback] It was created thousands of years ago, by one known as eNeMeE. eNeMeE's goal is to conquer the entire universe. To do this, he created legions of monsters and sent them throughout the galaxies. But they were challenged. Those who loved freedom fought mightily against the monsters. They formed armies, and called themselves Star Warriors. We fought bravely, but eNeMeE's monster warriors outnumbered the Star Warriors. Our ranks dwindled until only one Star Warrior remained. I was alone, injured, but alive. I had survived, and luckily, a spark of hope survived with me.
    Tiff: Hope?
    Meta Knight: Yes. The hope that I would not be the last warrior. [ends flashback] It was my hope that young warriors would appear. Warriors with new strength and new spirit. Warriors who would battle to defeat eNeMeE. [starts another flashback] That is why I came to this planet, to serve King Dedede. [ends flashback]
    Tiff: To serve King Dedede? Why would you want to work for anybody like him?
    Meta Knight: Starships are designed to automatically fly warriors to where monsters are detected. The king likes monsters, so I hoped a young warrior would come here.
    Tiff: You were right, Meta Knight. Kirby came here.
    Meta Knight: Yes, but too soon. Kirby's Starship detected the King's monster, but Kirby was not scheduled to awaken for another 200 years. That is why his ship crash-landed. He is totally untrained. He cannot speak. He can barely think!
    Tiff: Then Kirby is just a baby.
    Meta Knight: Yes, but luckily, he has great natural abilities. If he develops them properly, he may be able to defeat eNeMeE. And I can help him.
    Tiff: Then you are gonna help Kirby, aren't you?
    Meta Knight: My help will not be enough to make him a warrior. Kirby will also need your help. The Warp Star is the source of Kirby's power. He needs only to see it to get his power, but he is unable to guard the star for himself. It can only be kept safe by one who truly loves and cares for him.
    Tiff: Well I kept it safe so far, didn't I?
    Meta Knight: Yes, so far. But this monster is much more powerful than the others... Perhaps too powerful for even the Warp Star to help Kirby defeat it.
    Meta Knight: You have done well. You hold the power to summon the Warp Star.
    Tiff: Uh, yeah. But can Kirby beat Kracko...?
    Meta Knight: Sword Kirby.
    Tiff: All right!
    Tuff: Come on, Sword Kirby!
    Tiff: Kirby... just let me know when you need the star treatment.

### Beware: Whispy Woods! [1.5]

    Tiff: Our planet's ecosystem is a marvel of symbiotic relationships among all living things large and small. Wow, isn't that amazing, Kirby? (notices Kirby is missing) Kirby? Kirby!
    Tuff: I guess Kirby must've got bored and went for a walk or something.
    Rick: [sighs] That Kirby could drive a dingo dingy.
    Lady Like: Well, if you took your news out of that nosepaper, you'd see that Tiff and Tuff haven't come home yet!
    Sir Ebrum: What my wife means to say is that we don't get a chance to see you enough, Your Majesty.
    King Dedede: My plan worked! I laid out an apple trail, and Kirby got buried in a apple-anche!
    Escargoon: The letter tricked ya! Now get ready to have your trunk truncated!
    Escargoon: For too long, Dream Land suffered from the lack of a world-class golf facility, but once again our visionary King Dedede has taken wise, yet bold action! We now have this taxpayer-supported, closed-to-the-public, chemically-fertilized course where Whispy Woods once stood!

### Un-Reality TV [1.6]

    Waddle Doo: Let's go, guys! Speed it up! We gotta get a TV set to every house in town!
    Tiff: Maybe some people wanna waste their lives watching this T.V. junk, but we have better things to do. Right, Kirby? [as Kirby slips in to watch the T.V.]
    Tiff: WE USED TO HAVE LIVES BEFORE TELEVISION!!!!!
    Meta Knight: King Dedede may be a despicable dictator, but you've got to admit he's got a funny shtick.
    Chief Bookem: Looks like somebody's been feeding Kirby steroids!
    Escargoon: The studio's gone with the wind!
    King Dedede: That there's a loooow blow!
    Escargoon: [sighs] I am so not ready for my close-up.
    King Dedede: That kid's got it all wrong. This here's a king-sized misunderstanding. Any events and situations depicted on Channel DDD is purely fictional!
    One of the Cappy Villagers: This show about rainbows has been on all mornin'. [regarding the T.V. with no signal]

### Kirby's Egg-Cellent Adventure [1.7]

    King Dedede: Look at all the variety. There's shy birds, fly birds, blue birds, two birds, crazy birds, and lazy birds!
    King Dedede: Remind me to install some escalators on this mountain.
    King Dedede: [singing] ♪ Dyna Blade had an egg she laid, E-I-E-I-O. But a handsome king had a plan he made, E-I-E-I-O. When Kirby eats that big old egg, Dyna Blade gonna grab Kirby by the leg, drag him away to a secret lair, finally get Kirby out of my hair. ♪ Dyna Blade... Hey, look!
    Escargoon: Let's hide.
    King Dedede: Get Kirby, you stupid bird!
    Meta Knight: Our deeds bind us to fate as surely as the sun sets.
    Tiff: Could you say that in English?
    Tiff: Kirby, I was only kidding! You'd be too tough for anybody to eat.

### Curio's Curious Discovery [1.8]

    King Dedede: There's only one bonafide ruler of Cappy Town, and that's me! King Dedede!
    Escargoon: Clear! Clear for talent! Well whaddaya know? That skeleton's a dead ringer for King Dedede.
    Chef Kawasaki: This means... there never was a Cappy King in the good old days.
    Chief Bookem: There wasn't no good old days, either.
    King Dedede: This makes my day! [laughs alongside Escargoon]
    Escargoon: Oh rapture! A tchotchke treasure trove! (sobs openly)
    Tiff: Remember what you always say. The most important thing isn't to show your theories right, but to dig all the way to the truth.
    Meta Knight: You have done a low-down thing, Your Highness. Holding these kids captive when they wanted the truth.
    Prof. Curio: Oh, let them get themselves out. I'm through digging up fakes, especially dangerous ones.

### The Fofa Factor [1.9]

    Fololo: Here we are, Your Highness.
    Falala: At your service.
    Escargoon: What took you fa-lolly-gaggers so long? This is urgent.
    King Dedede: Go see the fortune teller lady. Ask her how my luck's gonna be today.
    Fololo: Sure. Come on.
    Escargoon: Not so fast! No reason for you both to go.
    Fololo & Falala: [both gasp]
    Escargoon: Fololo can fly over the fortune teller alone. You stay here in the castle, missy.
    Falala: Fololo and I never split up.
    Fololo: Yeah, we're a team. Like peanut butter and jelly.
    King Dedede: Well today, just make like you're oil and water. And that there's an order.
    Fololo & Falala: Sorry.
    King Dedede: [growls angrily] Do what I tell ya! I'm the king around here!
    Fololo & Falala: [both shake nervously]
    Fololo: We answer to Sir Ebrum, Your Majesty.
    Falala: Yes. And to Lady Like, too.
    Escargoon: Maybe so, but you're servants, not relatives. They can't save ya if the king decides to toss ya out of the kingdom.
    King Dedede: You do what I say and split up... or both of you is outta here!
    Tuff: But mom, who needs to know subtraction?
    Lady Like: You do, when I subtracts your allowance!
    Tuff: [gulps] Daaaddyyyyy...
    Sir Ebrum: Stiff upper lip, boy. Your mother's only joshing.
    Lady Like: Ebrum. If we don't teach Tuff discipline, who will? After all, we are his parents.
    Falala: That's right, Lady Like. You are Tuff's parents.
    Fololo: But where did we come from?
    Sir Ebrum: Oh, well, you see, one day, a rather large stork popped by and--
    Tuff: Yeah, in your dreams, dad.
    Lady Like: Tuff!
    Tiff: [tugs on Lady Like's dress a little] Why don't you just tell us the truth, mom? We can handle it.
    Lady Like: Ah, we found them in a cribbage patch, sweetie.
    Sir Ebrum: Yes. The same place we got you and your brother from.
    Tiff: That's baloney! Where did they really come from?!
    Sir Ebrum: [as he and Lady Like move their children out of their quarters] No need to concern yourselves with ancient history.
    Lady Like: Too much thinking is bad for your brain.
    Tuff: Does this mean I don't have to do my math homework?
    Lady Like: Of course not, darling. [closes door]
    Tuff: You think we're gonna get weird like that when we get old?
    Tiff: Probably.
    Escargoon: Sire, a message from your fortune teller.
    King Dedede: Well? What's my soothsayer say?
    Escargoon: I'm lookin', I'm lookin'! It says, "If you look for trouble, your trouble will double." [gasps]
    King Dedede: Hmph. What's that mumbo-gumbo supposed to mean?
    Escargoon: I'm not sure, but there's more.
    King Dedede: Good. Is it next week's lottery numbers?
    Escargoon: If it was, I wouldn't tell you. It says, "Your account is past due. Pay up, you cheap tightwad!" [Dedede hammers him] Great. Just 'cause I'm a snail, I get slugged.
    King Dedede: Well I'll show her. I'm orderin' a new monster.
    Escargoon: Did you order me some aspirin?
    Escargoon: I'll tell you one thing. That's the first time in my life I had a good head on my shoulders.
    King Dedede: Yeah, it was real easy to carry 'cause it wasn't enough limit.
    Escargoon: Least I don't have a waist size as big as my IQ.
    King Dedede: [laughs] You're a real cut-up, Slice n' Splice.
    Slice n' Splice: Thank you, Sire.
    Escargoon: Yes, he's very entertaining. Maybe he could work in the document shredding department.
    King Dedede: Slice n' Splice, we're gonna have some fun. Let's go show Cappy Town what you can do.
    Chief Bookem: What's that?
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Don't know, but it looks unfriendly.
    King Dedede: Them Cappy-ccinos need half-and-half'in'! [sics Slice 'n Splice on the townsfolk, resulting in a massive mix-up of their body parts with several screams let out]
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Oh, this is baaaa-d.
    Cappy: Aw, are you kidding?
    King Dedede: [laughs] Un-baa-lievable!
    Escargoon: Why'd ya have to go and mix us up with sheep? I know you like fleecing your subjects, but this is ridiculous.
    Tokkori: Just look at me. I used to be fine and feathery. Now I'm fat and furry.
    Rick: Have a gander at me, mate! A mammal's gotta be bats to want wings!
    Tokkori: I want my body back as much as you do, but that there monster's too tough for us to tackle.
    Rick: Crikey. Kirby's gonna have to give that beast a shalackin' so I can get me fur back.
    Tokkori: Let's go find him.
    Rick: Right.
    King Dedede: Say, you Cappies look kinda sheepish. Hah! Sheepish! That's a good one! [laughs]
    Chief Bookem: King Dedede! [Dedede looks at Bookem with a shocked expression on his face] Body-snatchin's illegal.
    King Dedede: So what? You may have my body, but I'm still head around here!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: We demand you return us to normal, your highness. We're one furious flock!
    Chef Kawasaki: I like lamb chops, but this is ridiculous.
    [the Cappies are speaking in a way that's considered unintelligible]
    Escargoon: Listen, we don't wanna start a stampede. Let's give their bodies back and go after Kirby.
    King Dedede: Good idea. I'm glad I thought of it. Listen up! I've done decided to be magnanimous and give y'all yer Cappy bodies back. Slice n' Splice, stick 'em all back together!
    Falala: Uh, you guys look a little mixed up.
    Fololo: What happened?
    Tuff: They got the right heads but the wrong bodies!
    Tokkori: No kiddin', columbo.
    Rick: His monster mixed us up.
    Tiff: What monster?
    Tokkori: Dedede's monster, and Kirby's gotta change us back pronto!
    Rick: I'm fed up with havin' feathers.
    Rick & Tokkori: WE NEED KIRBY!
    [Kirby comes running to everyone while saying "Fofa!" twice]
    Tokkori: There you are! We got big trouble, buddy-boy!
    Rick: Ah, mate's got a muzzle on his mouth.
    Tokkori: What's up with that, junior?
    Escargoon: Well, well. I guess we all have a male and a female side to our personality.
    [The Boy Kirby and Girl Kirby laugh]
    Falala: I think we'd better keep it down guys.
    Fololo: Falala, they look just like us! See? One of them even has the same ribbon as you do.
    Falala: It's true, Fololo.
    Fololo: But at least they know where they came from.
    Falala: Yeah. Not like us.
    Escargoon: Freeze!
    Slice n' Splice: There's no escape.
    Fololo & Falala: Leave Kirby alone!
    Slice n' Splice: You two wimps think you can stop me?
    Falala: At least we can protect the Kirbys.
    [Slice n' Splice laughs as he raises the moon rod, ready to strike all four as Fololo and Falala brace themselves, only to stop and look on at them in recognition]
    Slice n' Splice: You look familiar. Yes, I remember. You're Fofa! Yes. I'm sure of it. You're Fofa.
    Falala: Fofa?
    Fololo: Who's that?
    Boy Kirby & Girl Kirby: Fofa! Fofa! Fofa!
    Slice n' Splice: Fofa was your name before I split you in two.
    Fololo & Falala: Huh?
    Slice n' Splice: [starts flashback and narrates] That was some time ago.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Well, King Sucker's back to get his pocket picked again.
    Nightmare: Sell him Fofa. Better yet: chop it and charge him double. [laughs]
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Brilliant idea, eNeMeE.
    [Slice n' Splice carries Fofa to the Monster Delivery System]
    Fofa: No! Let me go, you creep! I don't wanna be sent to hurt anybody!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: All you can do is float in the air, you useless little clown. We're splitting you in two.
    Fofa: In two?! No please, you can't!
    [the N.M.E. Sales Guy lets out a short mischievous laugh as Slice n' Splice splits Fofa into Fololo and Falala before they are delivered to King Dedede]
    King Dedede: These puny two ain't monsters.
    Escargoon: Yeah, two-for-one sales are always a ripoff.
    King Dedede: [growls and throws Fololo and Falala down to Sir Ebrum and Lady Like] Y'all look after these here scrawny rejects 'cause I don't want 'em.
    Sir Ebrum: Ah, but Your Majesty...
    Lady Like: We already have a brand new mouth to feed.
    King Dedede: Then ye're lucky these two ain't got no mouths! [laughs]
    Falala: So that's where we came from...
    Fololo: We used to be one, and now we're two. [flashback ends]
    Slice n' Splice: This was the very moon rod used to split you in two.
    Fololo: We're really Fofa.
    Falala: Fofa. I like that name. [laughs] We finally know where we came from!
    Fololo: Right! We're not just Fololo and Falala.
    Falala: We're closer than that.
    Fololo & Falala: We're really Fofa!
    Fololo: [as King Dedede gets up] I guess that's why we get along so well. Right, Falala?
    Falala: Right, Fololo!
    King Dedede: Hmph.
    Tiff: [as she and Tuff look on] Tuff, look.
    Tuff: I wonder what that sun rod does.
    Tiff: That must be the one that puts them back together.
    Slice n' Splice: You two will never be one again.
    Fololo: Yes, we will.
    Falala: We'll show you!
    King Dedede: Drop 'em, twerps, before Slice n' Splice blenderizes you both!
    Tiff: You know what to do.
    [Kirby begins his inhaling, catching Slice n' Splice off guard]
    Slice n' Splice: So you want it?! Take it! Here!
    [Kirby stops inhaling, catching Slice n' Splice off guard again and causing him to drop the moon rod, which he then happily inhales and transforms afterwards]
    Tiff: All right!
    Tuff: Nice goin', Kirby!
    Fololo: Yeah!
    Meta Knight: Kirby has transformed. He is now Cutter Kirby! Cutter Kirby can battle his opponent with the cutter on his cap.
    Tiff: Okay, it's your turn.
    Fololo: Right.
    Falala: Do it, Tiff!
    Tiff: Get ready!
    [before Tiff can use the sun rod, Slice n' Splice explodes, causing it to disintegrate]
    King Dedede: Oh, Slice n' Splice didn't make the cut.
    Escargoon: Well that fortune teller warned ya, Sire, and I quote, "When you try makin' trouble, your trouble will double."
    King Dedede: [tightly hugs Escargoon in dismay and cries loudly]
    Tuff: It's too late to use it now. The sun rod bit the dust.
    Tiff: I'm really sorry that we couldn't put you two back together again.
    Falala: That's okay. We may have two bodies...
    Fololo: But we've got one heart. [he and Falala laugh and hug each other]
    Kirby: Fofa! [puffs up and flies for a short bit]
    Tiff: Kirby, say "thank you!" If it wasn't for Fololo and Falala, you'd still be two Kirbys.
    Kirby: [puffs out and lets out a confused Poyo]
    Tiff: He doesn't get it.
    Kirby: Fofa!
    Fololo: [giggles alongside Falala] I'm not Fofa. I'm Fololo.
    Falala: And I'm Falala.
    Fololo & Falala: Fololo and Falala!
    Kirby: Fololo. Falala.

### Hail to the Chief [1.10]

    Mayor Len: Lunatics! This is a road, not a bumper car track!
    Escargoon: It's your fault. I guess you haven't heard the King's always got the right of way.
    King Dedede: Just ask the DDDMV!
    Escargoon: You could have been hurt in that crash, but luckily your stomach acts as a built-in airbag.
    Tuggle: The King's firing Chief Bookem?
    Chef Kawasaki: There goes my doughnut sales.
    Chief Bookem: The Rough Rangers Squad is the toughest fighting force on the planet. My buddies and me got stuck in some real jams on the battlefield, but we never gave up. It's like us Rangers always say, Tuff: "Always try!"
    Escargoon: Those bees gave me so many lumps that I feel like a bowl of oatmeal!
    Tuff: [While Driving Dedede's Tank And Yelling At The Same Time] Driving sure is a lot harder than it looks!
    Chief Bookem: What?! This isn't good! That road leads to the Booma-Dooma Volcano! There's no telling when that thing's gonna blow!
    King Dedede: Aw, my paper's in pieces! Grr... if that's how y'all gonna play it, i'm gonna up the ante!
    Chief Bookem: [to the bees, about Dedede and Escargoon] Company bee, arrest these crooks!
    Escargoon: Leave us alone, don't pollinate something!
    King Dedede: Don't you dare sting yo king!

### The Big Taste Test [1.11]

    Escargoon: [shaking] You don't want to eat me! I'm bitter...r...r...
    King Dedede: What better way to honor your King than to let him sauté you?
    Escargoon: [whimpers] I never thought I'd go like this...
    King Dedede: [trying samples of Kawasaki's food] Tasteless! Nasty! Awful! This stinks! This too! Lousy! Putrid! Rancid! TREASON!!! Kawa-yucki, I oughta fry you up like a fritter!
    Escargoon: I know this came out of the oven, but it tastes like it came outta the sofa cushions!
    King Dedede: There's a word for this here stuff, and it ain't "food"!
    Tuff: Popon? That's a wacky name.

### Kirby's Pet Peeve [1.12]

    King Dedede: What's that thing he's got?
    Escargoon: I don't know what he's got, but I've got whiplash.
    [Kirby and the Robot Pet scream "Poyo!" and bark respectively at them, angrily]
    King Dedede: That's one of them computer canines! I want one of 'em, too. Where'd he get that?
    Escargoon: I don't know. Probably from that toy shop in Cappy Town.
    King Dedede: Now what do I look like, some little nitwit?
    Gengu: I wouldn't say little. Definitely not.
    Tiff: But even so, why would somebody make a toy with shock powers? I wonder.
    Gengu: I wanted to make Kirby another pet, but nothin' can replace the friend he lost.

### Escargoon Squad [1.13]

    Waddle Doo: I'm sorry sire, but it wasn't my fault. Somebody must have sabotaged the drawbridge.
    Tiff: But, I saw it, too. I heard footsteps, like somebody was following me.
    Sir Ebrum: I dare say we have a spirit among the spirits, if you'll pardon the unintentional pun, sire.
    King Dedede: Uhh... maybe it was just a pigment of your imagination.
    Tiff: I bet it's one of those monsters.
    Sir Ebrum: Is this another plot against Kirby?
    King Dedede: I ain't plottin' against nobody! And there ain't no ghost 'cause there can't be no such a thing!
    Lady Like: But then what was it that flew in my window?
    Sir Ebrum: Why were those bottles floating?!
    Tiff: There's a ghost here!
    King Dedede: NUAAAAAAGGGHHHH THE GHOST IS AFTER ME! AND I GOTTA DO SOMETHING BEFORE IT GETS MEEEEEEEAHAHAHA!!!!
    Escargoon: I'd love to help you find the ghost, sire, but I'm afraid I'm just too afraid to.
    King Dedede: Get away from me, ghosties! Go spook out at some other king's castle!
    Meta Knight: It appears you were able to shamboozle us all, Escargoon.
    Sir Ebrum: By jove! You suddenly had me believing in ghosts.
    Lady Like: Tuff, I'm ashamed of you!
    Tuff: King Dedede is always doing stuff to scare us. Why shouldn't we scare him?
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Tiff: Well, I guess bad things happen to bad kings!
    [Everyone in the room but Meta Knight burst out laughing]
    King Dedede: [chasing Kirby, Tuff, Escargoon, Fololo And Falala] You all gonna be ghosts when I catch up with ya!
    Ghost: Kiiing Dedede.
    King Dedede: Huh? Kirby? Fololo? Falala? Then who's that over there?
    Ghost: Pay what you owwwweeeee...

### The Pillow Case [1.14]

    Escargoon: What's wrong, Sire? I haven't seen you this mad since yesterday.
    Escargoon: Take it easy on those turns.
    King Dedede: Just hang on to my throne.
    Escargoon: I'll hang on to the throne, Sire. It's my lunch I'm worried about.
    King Dedede: I'm their number one customer, and they ought to acknowledge that once in a while.
    Escargoon: Well, maybe they would if you pay the bill every once in a while.
    King Dedede: Pillows? What're they for?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Haven't you ever used one? They're for sleeping.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: The nightmares these pillows cause are of your number one enemy. They'll be so bad, your subjects will get rid of that little pink pest all by themselves.
    Nightmare: Yes. And soon those sleepy-headed simpletons will be doing my work for me.
    Tiff: [Hypnotized] We must destroy Kirby. Destroy Kirby!
    King Dedede: Lucky little lump.

### A Fish Called Kine [1.15]

    Tiff: A fish who can write...
    Kine: A lot of fish are very educated because we spend so much time in schools.
    Tiff: Me, your girlfriend?!
    Tuff: [Laughing] Yeah, Tiff. And he can be your Gillfriend!
    Chef Kawasaki: Ah... the catch of the day.
    Tuff: Stop! That's not sushi, that's Tiff's boyfriend!
    Chef Kawasaki: Her... boyfriend?
    Tiff: You see how dangerous it is?
    Tuff: You're lucky. You must have nine lives.
    Kine: Maybe that means I'm part catfish...

### Flower Power [1.16]

    Dr. Yabui: Noddy monsters can put their enemies into a deep sleep. I'm afraid little Kirby could sleep for a very long time. A century at worst.
    Dr. Yabui: The Pukey Flower is a golden bloom, found in the wilds of Babagahara. Legend has it that one whiff of this magic golden blossom is enough to stir one from even the deepest of slumbers.
    Fololo & Falala: Babagahara? I've heard of that place. No one who goes there has ever come back!
    Escargoon: This plant plan's startin' to grow on me.
    King Dedede: Yeah, that Pukey Flower's one bad blossom! It pops up little Noddy berries, the critters gobble them up, and the owners can't wake 'em. (laughs)
    Escargoon: They think a whiff of the Pukey will wake them up, but then the Pukey eats them up!
    King Dedede: And now it's time for Kirby.
    Escargoon: Lunch time. [the two burst into laughter]
    Kirby: [snoring, sleep-talking] Picnic...picnic...
    [Tuff gasps]
    Kirby: [sleep-talking again] Pic...nic....
    Tuff: Kirby! Glad you're okay, buddy!

### Here Comes the Son [1.17]

    N.M.E. Sales Guy: WARNING: You have entered the Nightmare Enterprises web server and I want to know why.
    Knuckle Joe: There's a powerful Star Warrior livin' out there somewhere in Dream Land. And I'm here to destroy him.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: In that case, I can be of assistance. And I wish you luck on your journey.
    Knuckle Joe: Get ready... 'cause now I'm comin' to get ya.
    King Dedede: GET THAT GUY!!! GUARDS!!!
    King Dedede: You're a kid.
    Knuckle Joe: Don't let that fool ya. My name's Knuckle Joe.
    Tiff: Knuckle Joe?
    Meta Knight: What!?
    Knuckle Joe: Cut the gab. Where's the Star Warrior?
    [Tiff and Tuff gasp]
    Knuckle Joe: I know he's here. Where is he?
    [Dedede and Escargoon both grunt in confusion]
    Escargoon: Majesty, he means...
    King Dedede: Hm. [laughs] I happen to know just the Star Warrior you lookin' for.
    Knuckle Joe: Then spill your guts, tubby.
    King Dedede: Uhhh, tubby?
    Escargoon: Hey wise guy, this is the king you're talking about! You can't insult him because he's fat! Or because he's a big ignoramus! Or because he's a tightwad...[gets hammered by Dedede]
    King Dedede: [clears throat] Sonny, I know just the Star Warrior you lookin' for, and his name's Kirby.
    Knuckle Joe: Look out... Kirby.
    Knuckle Joe: I come lookin' for a Star Warrior, and I wind up with a beach ball.
    Meta Knight: There is no reason to battle Kirby, my friend. The one you seek is me.
    Knuckle Joe: He wasn't a father! He was a... weakling!
    Meta Knight: I am glad that he is gone then, so that he will not have to see what a monster you have become.
    Knuckle Joe: What? I ain't no monster!
    Meta Knight: Anyone who abandons his reason, and lives only by hatred, is a monster.
    Knuckle Joe: Huh?
    Tiff: Knuckle Joe, what we do makes us monsters. And now, look what you've done to Kirby.
    Tuff: That's what a monster would do.
    Knuckle Joe: Wrong! I am not a monster!
    Meta Knight: I am not so sure. You lived on hatred. And that is what eNeMeE loves.
    Knuckle Joe: I told ya, Meta Knight... I'm not a monster.
    Meta Knight: I know, Joe. I know.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: There's a little extra service charge for that special upload, King.

### Dedede's Snow Job [1.18]

    King Dedede: I've had it with this weather. I've gotta do something to beat the heat and cool down this kingdom!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: We deal mostly in monsters, not home appliances, but I think we may just have something that'll do the job.
    King Dedede: You call this thing an Ice Dragon? Looks like somethin' you win in a carnival.
    Tuff: Hey Tiff, this rain's frozen.
    Tiff: I should've known all along! When moisture freezes, it crystallizes and becomes snow.
    Tiff: This doesn't make sense. Cappy Town's never had snow before.
    Escargoon: Heh! He turned steamin' Dream Land into a winter wonderland!
    Meta Knight: Yes. Perhaps he is behind this... snow job.
    Chilly: Chilly!
    Kirby: Chilly! Chilly! Chilly!
    Tuff: Chilly, you're made out of snow, right... but you're alive?
    Tokkori: Snow's strictly for penguins. I ain't gonna freeze my feathers off!
    King Dedede: This weather ain't gonna be done with 'til Kirby's on ice, but Chilly's too much of a chump to do it.
    Tiff: So that's where all the snow came from. And Chilly, too.
    Tuff: That thing's huge! If this keeps goin'...
    Tiff: Dream Land's gonna be buried in a blizzard!
    King Dedede: You listen up, Ice Dragon. Stomp this fool into Chilly powder!
    Tiff: It's too warm for a snowman to live here.
    [Chilly's hat and bell, which is all that's left of him, is shown sinking deep into the ocean]
    Tiff: Goodbye, Chilly.
    Kirby: Chilly...!

### A Princess in Dis-Dress [1.19]

    Tiff: And on that day, all of our dreams came true. The beautiful princess married the handsome prince and they all lived happily ever after. How'd you like that story, Kirby?
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Tuff: Ah, I think these fairy tales are bogus. All that prince and princess junk's all made up, anyway.
    Tiff: Maybe so, but fairy tales aren't supposed to be like real life.
    Sir Ebrum: Children! Children, we have incredibly exciting news!
    Lady Like: A princess is coming to visit Cappy Town!
    Tiff: What?
    Tuff: You mean a real life princess?
    Kirby: Poyo?
    Sir Ebrum: Yes, the princess Rona! She's making a tour of Dream Land and she's scheduled a short visit with us!
    Tiff: Princess Rona?
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Lady Like: We don't have time to talk! The princess is coming, we have to skedaddle!
    Tuff: He-hey! This is awesome!
    Tiff: You said princesses were junk.
    Tuff: Princesses in fairy tales are, but princesses in Cappy Town aren't!
    Kirby: Poyah!
    King Dedede: Say what? A princess?
    Escargoon: Her name's Princess Rona, and I've heard through the grapevine that she's a real peach.
    King Dedede: She sure sounds like a big hunk of heaven to me.
    Escargoon: Not so quick, King Casanova. How do you know she's available?
    King Dedede: [hugs Escargoon] Why else would she be comin' to Cappy Town but to find herself a royal husband? [throws Escargoon aside] Now get there straight to work! We gonna have ourselves a royal weddin'!
    Tuff: Wow, Tiff, I never knew what girls could be like 'til I met Princess Rona.
    Tiff: And what is that supposed to mean?
    Tuff: Before I met Princess Rona, I thought all girls were like you.
    Tiff: Is that so? Well before I met Commander Vee, I thought boys were like you. But now I know they can be gallant and handsome. ["Commander Vee" turns to her as if "he" just heard her. She gasps] I hope he didn't just hear me...
    "Commander Vee": You must be Sir Ebrum's daughter, Tiff. I'm very pleased to meet you, Tiff.
    Tiff: I'm very pleased to meet you, Commander Vee.
    "Commander Vee": And this amiable young man must be your brother Tuff.
    Tuff: [groans] What's amiable mean?
    "Commander Vee": And who's your little pink pet?
    Tiff: Kirby isn't a pet! Kirby's a Star Warrior, Commander Vee.
    "Commander Vee": Oh, a Star Warrior! I beg your pardon, Kirby! Please forgive my mistake. I'm especially pleased to make your acquaintance.
    Kirby: Poyo! [moves closer to "Vee" in a friendly manner]
    "Commander Vee": [laughs] You're quite friendly for a warrior.
    King Dedede: [laughs and bursts in with a bouquet of roses in hand] Sorry to louse up yer lunch. Ah, blossoms for a blossom.
    "Princess Rona": I am very grateful, King.
    King Dedede: Princess, I'm about to show ya the best time ya ever had in yer royal life.
    "Commander Vee": I'm afraid that won't be possible.
    King Dedede: Yeah? Why not?
    "Commander Vee": Her Highness needs to rest after a long journey to your planet, and she doesn't desire a tour guide.
    King Dedede: What's that?
    Escargoon: Are you sure? He knows where all the hot spots are. He knows where you can get a pizza at 3 in the morning.
    "Commander Vee": It's getting very late. Good night, Kirby.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    "Commander Vee": On behalf of the Princess, we thank you for your kind hospitality.
    "Princess Rona": Yes. Thank you very much.
    King Dedede: That Vee vermin's makin' it hard for me to catch myself a queen.
    Escargoon: Well it's not all his fault. Honestly, you're not exactly personality plus.
    King Dedede: I'm gonna practice my proposal.
    [later, King Dedede, Escargoon, and the Waddle Dees have set up a scene to practice the marriage proposal, with Escargoon perched up high]
    King Dedede: [practicing his proposal to Princess Rona] Ah, sweet princess, of my heart.
    Escargoon: [swoons]
    King Dedede: From the moment I laid my big ol' eyes on your big ol' head, I knew you were my love.
    Escargoon: [swoons again]
    King Dedede: And to show you how much I love you, I wrote a little thingy. This is when we cue the music. You over there, hit the button!
    [The Waddle Dee starts playing the music]
    King Dedede: Oh, don't you know, I love you, baby yeah ♪ I love you ♪
    Escargoon: I give you four stars for presentation. [gets hit by Dedede's notebook]
    King Dedede: Yeah, you'll see! She will be mine!
    Tuff: You sure are popular, Princess Rona.
    Professor Curio: Greetings, Princess.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Welcome to Cappy Town.
    Chef Kawasaki: Hey, Princess!
    "Princess Rona": Thank you all for your warm hospitality.
    Chief Bookem: What an honor.
    Professor Curio: She's the prettiest princess who's ever been here.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Well, she's the only princess who's ever been here, Curio.
    Tiff: Hey, everybody! This is Commander Vee. He's in the Royal Guard.
    Professor Curio: Royal Guard, eh?
    Tuggle: What, no princess?
    Mayor Len Blustergas: He's no Princess Rona.
    Tiff: Hey! What's the matter with all of you? The Commander is a very important person.
    "Commander Vee": Please don't be upset with them. I'd really be much happier if people didn't make such a big fuss over me.
    Tiff: You would?
    [Kirby starts inhaling the food at the stands, starting with Tuggle's hot dogs]
    Tuggle: Kirby, take it easy! Those are very filling!
    [Kirby inhales the cotton candy next, much to Mayor Len's worry]
    "Commander Vee": [laughs] For a little fellow, he has quite an appetite!
    Tiff: Uh...
    "Commander Vee": Kirby, do you mind if I try some?
    Mayor Len Blustergas: But that's just junk food.
    ["Vee" tastes the cotton candy anyway]
    "Commander Vee": Mmm. What do you call this?
    Tiff: [giggles] Commander Vee, haven't you ever had cotton candy before?
    "Commander Vee": No, I haven't. But it's delicious! [to Mayor Len] Thank you, sir!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Oh no, please keep your money, Commander. The cotton candy is on Cappy Town.
    [everyone laughs]
    Tiff: I know we're having fun, Commander. But don't you have to get back to the princess?
    "Commander Vee": She can take care of herself a little while longer. We should all have as much fun as we can, while we can.
    Tuff: Hey, Tiff!
    Tiff: What's the matter, Tuff? I thought you were with Princess Rona.
    Tuff: I was, but she's so boring. I try to talk to her about stuff, but all she says is "How interesting."
    "Commander Vee": [laughs] Well, Tuff, that's because Princess Rona has been taught to be extremely polite. Being a princess is a very boring job.
    Tiff: Boring?
    "Commander Vee": That's right. You have no idea the kind of terrible life a princess has to lead. It's like no life at all! I'd trade a princess's life for yours any day!
    Sir Ebrum: Did you get a glimpse of our coastline as you came in, Princess Rona?
    "Princess Rona": Yes, it was so beautiful and interesting, Sir Ebrum.
    Lady Like: [sighs]
    [suddenly, the Waddle Dees close the curtains to the surprise of Sir Ebrum, Lady Like, and "Princess Rona", and King Dedede bursts in wearing a blue tuxedo and carrying a rose, dancing across the table towards "Rona" before the Waddle Dees generate smoke effects and Escargoon hands him a microphone]
    King Dedede: I wanna make you miiiine ♪ Oh yeeeah, babyyy ♪ How's about we get hitched, honey?
    Sir Ebrum: Good gracious!
    [Lady Like faints and Sir Ebrum catches her]
    King Dedede: Marry me, sugar pie. Can't you see I wanna make you my one and only flushin' bride?
    Real Princess Rona: Excuse me!
    [King Dedede gasps]
    Real Princess Rona: King Dedede, I see you still persist in trying to woo the princess. [the Waddle Dees focus their lights on her] However, the princess remains unmoved by your misguided affection.
    King Dedede: You stay outta this, ya pointy-headed pipsqueak!
    Real Princess Rona: Then the princess will speak for herself.
    "Princess Rona": I am sorry, but I cannot accept your proposal.
    [Dedede's rose shatters like glass]
    King Dedede: [cries] I wanna marry the pretty princess!
    Escargoon: [To Princess Rona] You've broken the king's heart! [softly] How? I don't know, he doesn't have one.
    King Dedede: You've made a mock-aroon of me, Mushroom Head! Let's duel! [throws glove at Rona]
    Lady Like: Ebrum... [faints and is caught by Sir Ebrum again]
    Real Princess Rona: I accept your challenge.
    Tiff: Oh, no.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: I knew King Dedede was a chicken.
    Gengu: That's no fair!
    King Dedede: Oh yeah? Well have you ever known me to play fair?! [laughs]
    Escargoon: You might wanna duck, sire.
    King Dedede: [laughs] Just what's he tryin' to inhale?
    Escargoon: Your sword there.
    Tuff: Now he's Sword Kirby!
    Princess Rona: That's astonishing!
    King Dedede: Hey, that there's cheatin'!
    Tiff: Using monsters is cheating.
    Tiff: That fish is fierce competition!
    Tuff: There's gotta be a way to beat it.
    Chef Kawasaki: I know a way. Just turn it into sushi!
    Chef Kawasaki: Hey King Dedede, I didn't know you and Escargoon were into sushi.
    King Dedede: Get it off of me.
    Elder Pipi: Princess Rona!
    Princess Rona: Didn't I fool you?
    Elder Pipi: I say, Princess. Surely not another disguise.
    Chief Bookem: Disguise?!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: That's the princess?!
    Chief Bookem: What's going on here?!
    Princess Rona: I beg your pardon for my subterfuge, kind citizens. My lady-in-waiting took my place and I her.
    Elder Pipi: I trust you have had enough enjoyment for a while.
    Princess Rona: We shall discuss this matter privately, but I enjoyed it immensely.
    [everyone laughs]
    Tuggle: Looks like you won't be catering King Dedede's wedding.
    King Dedede: My dreams are shattered. How will I ever fill this emptiness?
    Escargoon: Ah, just do what you normally do. Have seven cheeseburgers.
    Princess Rona: [now in proper attire] My friends, thank you for everything.
    Tiff: Thank you. It was an honor, Rona.
    Princess Rona: And Kirby... [the real Commander Vee, now in proper attire as well, hands her a medal shaped like her royal crest] For loyalty and bravery in the face of overwhelming odds, I happily present to you this medal of honor. [gasps and then puts the medal away] This is too formal. [gently kisses Kirby on the forehead as he lets loose a joyful poyo and Tiff giggles before she and her people depart beck for Planet Pipi]
    Tuff: Hope she lives happily ever after.
    Kirby: Poyo.

### Island of the Lost Warrior [1.20]

    Tuff: What are we going to do, Tiff?
    Tiff: I'm thinking! It takes time to come up with great ideas!
    [Tiff's stomach growls]
    Tiff: [looking embarrassed] My stomach thinks it's a great idea for us to find some lunch now.
    Kit Cosmos: The joker who trained these monsters didn't teach them a blasted thing about guerilla tactics in the jungle.
    Tiff: Kirby, I'm sure glad you made friends with Sergeant Cosmos.
    Tuff: Me too, but that guy's still kind of wacky.
    Tiff: He's been stuck on this island so long he thinks the Star Warriors still have an army.
    Kit Cosmos: [suddenly puts out Kirby and friends' fire that they were cooking their fish on] Are you kids out of your minds?! Lightin' a campfire at night will give away our position to the enemy!
    Tuff: Yeah, except we don't have any enemies.
    Tiff: And look. Now we don't have any dinner.
    Kit Cosmos: Tough luck. During some of my missions, I went weeks with nothin' to eat but dirt! A real warrior don't need no fancy luxuries like food!
    Kit Cosmos: I salute you, Meta Knight!

### The Empty Nest Mess [1.21]

    King Dedede: Escargoon! Get this caterpillar off of me!
    Escargoon: I guess I used too much formula, but at least we know it works!
    Tokkori: These two stole your chick, and they were tryin' to turn it into a flyin' freakshow!

### Ninja Binge [1.22]

    King Dedede: Ninja alert! Guards, track down that ninja before he gets away with the scroll!
    Chief Bookem: You have the right to remain silent, ninja!
    Benikage: What's up with all this fake ninja stuff?
    Benikage: Keep away from the scroll, or prepare to battle a real ninja!
    Benikage: [sniff] They're plastic anyway...[cries]
    Yamikage: I want that scroll. Do not challenge me, or you will regret it.
    Benikage: Oh yeah? Well, that's what you think. I'm a ninja, too!
    Yamikage: Very well. You will have the chance to prove it.
    Falala: The ninja in the dark armor...
    Fololo: We found out that he works for Nightmare Enterprises.
    Falala: Yeah. He betrayed the Star Warriors.
    Tiff: He's the traitor?
    Yamikage: That was surely Meta Knight. Meta Knight and Kirby... someday, I will get my revenge.

### Like Mother, Like Snail/Escargoon Rules [1.23]

    Tiff: Who's so important to ya?
    Escargoon: It's my... it's my... It's my mommy!
    Chief Bookem: Thanks to your son, crime is pretty low here. Of course, our taxes are pretty steep.
    Escargoon's Mother: Junior, you tax your subjects?!
    Escargoon: [to Mayor Len] No more taxes!
    King Dedede: [screams twice] You two's Escar-dentical!
    Escargoon's Mother: Why did that vulgar loudmouth call himself king?
    Escargoon: Eh... well...
    Tiff: Don't worry. That guy's just pretending to be king.
    Escargoon's Mother: He's pretending? But why?
    Tiff: It's his job to act crazy. Dedede's the court jester.
    Escargoon's Mother: Court jester? You mean he's a clown?
    King Dedede: [growls]
    Tiff: How's it going, Jester Dedede? I'd like to introduce you to Escargoon's mother!
    King Dedede: That's his mama? [laughs] Just goes to show your bananas don't fall far from the tree! [laughs even harder] Well at least now I can see where Escargoony gets all his looks from!
    Escargoon's Mother: Junior's always looked like me ever since he was a bitsy baby.
    Escargoon's Mother: Ahh, it's still so hard for me to believe that I'm the mother of a king.
    Escargoon's Mother: You're so kind. Oh, it must always be fun here with a jester like Dedede!
    King Dedede: I ain't no gesture!
    King Dedede: [horrified, about his Drifter parachute] It's been De-De-Disintegrated!

### Sword and Blade, Loyal and True/Hour of the WolfWrath [1.24]

    Escargoon: (after WolfWrath has gotten away from him and Dedede) Ah, I don't think it's housebroken.
    Dedede: That WolfWrath monster of yours better not wreck my castle. This ain't no doghouse!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I'm afraid WolfWrath doesn't take too well to training, Triple D. He's kind of a hot dog and if you try to break him, you'll get burned! [laughs]
    Dedede: Huh? It'll attack me?!
    [the N.M.E. Sales Guy laughs again]
    Escargoon: [about WolfWrath's battle with Meta Knight] Look, it's battling Meta Knight, not Kirby!
    Dedede: Grr... Meta Knight oughtta mind his own fleaswax and let WolfWrath turn Kirby into toast!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Don't sweat it, Triple D. That monster can wipe out a whole army of Star Warriors.
    Escargoon: KITCHEEEEENNNNN!!! Where's the chow, ya chowder-heads? His highness is hungry up here!
    Waddle Doo: But we just served the king a ten-course meal.
    Dedede: All of them appetizers was un-appetizin'. Bring me ten different courses and make it snappy!
    Waddle Doo: Right! [he and the Waddle Dees make another ten-course meal and start bringing it to the king] Hup, two, three, four, we bring the food and he wants more, five, six, seven, eight, the king had better watch his weight.
    Sword Knight: We should have stayed to protect Kirby.
    Blade Knight: [mumbling] Our promise.
    Sword Knight: We're sorry, kids. We won't let it happen again.
    Tiff: That's okay. The only reason you two were reckless was because you knew Meta Knight was in trouble.
    Tuff: You guys sure are loyal to him. How'd you meet him?
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Blade Knight: [mumbling] Long time ago.
    Sword Knight: Back when Meta Knight and the Star Warriors were battling Nightmare's monster armies. (begins flashback) The struggle turned the whole galaxy into a wasteland. To survive, we became bandits.
    [Meta Knight is running up the side of the canyon when Blade Knight and Sword Knight step in his way]
    Meta Knight: Out of my way. Let me pass!
    Sword Knight: Oh, we'll be happy to let you pass, for a price.
    [Blade Knight mumbling]
    Meta Knight: I have no time for your games. The monster that is chasing me is truly dangerous.
    Sword Knight: We're dangerous too.
    Meta Knight: I warn you. Leave now while you still have a chance.
    [WolfWrath's howl is heard above all three as it leaps down and attacks by surprise]
    Blade Knight: Away! Away! [mumbling]
    [Sword Knight attacks but is thrown aside by WolfWrath. It spits a fireball at them only for it to be reflected back by Meta Knight]
    Meta Knight: Run. Quickly! [Blade Knight and Sword Knight hide as he then fights back against WolfWrath and ultimately forces it into a nearby lake as the flashback ends]
    Sword Knight: We were just a pair of lousy crooks.
    Blade Knight: Meta Knight [mumbling] rescued us.
    Tiff: So that's why you follow him.
    Tuff: 'Cause he saved you both.
    Sword Knight: [about the weapons hung on the wall of their master's living room] Those things on the wall... We used them to rob and steal. Now they remind us of what fools we were before we met Meta Knight.
    Dedede: [snacking on his latest ten-course meal] What's takin' them guards so long to track my monster?
    Escargoon: Finish your snack, sire. I'm checkin' the cameras. [sees WolfWrath blowing fire everywhere it goes, even at the cameras] Ahh! What's it doing?! [sees even more of the castle halls on fire] Ah! WolfWrath's a fire dog!
    Dedede: [gasps in anger and starts yelling at the N.M.E. Sales Guy] What're you tryin' to pull here?! That monster's barbecuin' my whole castle!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Oops! I guess I forgot to mention that. WolfWrath needs to set fires to get the strength for its attacks.
    Dedede: [growling with anger, he's finally had enough and he gives an order to the Waddle Dees] Throw that WolfWrath outta here!
    Sword Knight: Blade. Remember how Meta Knight saved us when WolfWrath cornered us?
    Blade Knight: Hm. Aye. [mumbling]
    [flashback to when Meta Knight and WolfWrath fell into the nearby lake]
    Sword Knight: Water is WolfWrath's one weakness.
    Blade Knight: [mumbling] Put it out.
    Tiff: He's waking up!
    Fololo: The monster's fang is gone.
    Falala: The spell is broken!
    [Sir Ebrum and Lady Like hug each other in joy]
    Tiff: Thanks, Kirby.
    Tuff: Yeah!
    Sword Knight: Brings back memories, don't it, Blade?
    Blade Knight: [mumbling]
    [last flashback of the episode begins, showing both Sword and Blade kneeling behind Meta Knight]
    Meta Knight: So. Are you two sure you want to join me?
    Blade Knight: You're [mumbling] great warrior.
    Sword Knight: We want to make your cause our cause.
    Meta Knight: I will tell you what we must do. We must search for a new warrior... one who will defeat eNeMeE and bring justice to our galaxy.
    Sword Knight: From that moment on, we became Meta Knight's followers.
    Blade Knight: And, [mumbling] loyal to him.
    [both Sword Knight and Blade Knight look on proudly at Kirby's triumphant pose with Galaxia as light from the sky shines down on him. The episode ends without the usual star fade-out animation]

### The Flower Plot [1.25]

    Tuff: Taking a hike to Whispy Woods was a cool idea!
    Tiff: It'll be great to see him again.
    Tuff: What's special about this one? Dream Land's got lots of flowers.
    Whispy Woods: This flower is truly the most beautiful plant in the forest. Just looking at it makes me happy. I will keep it blooming here for as long as I can.
    Tiff: Just from the way Whispy smiled, you can tell he's got a crush on Lovely.
    Tuff: A crush on a flower?
    Tiff: It must get a little boring in Whispy Woods with nothing but green trees every place. Lovely's brought new colors to Whispy's world!
    Tuff: Great, so what? Big deal.
    Tiff: Someday, you'll understand. Whispy's probably been waiting his whole life for someone to care for, and now he's found her.
    Tiff: Here you go, Lovely.
    Whispy Woods: Thank you, my friends.
    Tiff: We're glad we could help.
    Tuff: I still can't figure out why Dedede wanted to swipe Whispy's flower friend.
    Lovely: It's because I'm a very special flower.
    [Kirby and co. react in shock and confusion]
    Whispy Woods: Who said that?
    Tiff: I-It wasn't me.
    [Lovely turns around revealing her new face]
    Tiff: Lovely can talk now!
    Tuff: Yeah, but how come it never said anything before?
    Lovely: [turns to face Whispy again] Your name is Whispy, isn't it?
    Whispy Woods: Oh?
    Tuff: I can't believe it.
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Tiff: I can't believe it either.
    Lovely: Thank you so much for taking care of me, Whispy.
    Whispy Woods: I never knew that flowers could talk like some of us trees can.
    Lovely: Well, I'm very glad I can so I can let you know how wonderful you are.
    Whispy Woods: This is amazing!
    [both Whispy and Lovely laugh heartily with each other]
    Tuff: If you ask me, there's something fishy going on with this flower since we brought it back from the castle.
    Tiff: I know.
    Tuff: And I bet you Dedede had something to do with this.
    Tiff: Shhh. Play it cool.
    Kirby: Poyo! Poyo!
    Lovely: You must be that brave Star Warrior, Kirby.
    Kirby: Kirby! Kirby!
    Lovely: Will you be my friend, Kirby?
    Kirby: Poyo! Poyo! Po-- [Tiff grabs him]
    Tiff: Well, we gotta get going, Whispy.
    Tuff: Yeah, see ya!
    Whispy Woods: Farewell, and thank you.
    Lovely: What are you doing here?!
    Tiff: Well, we... uhhh...
    Tuff: Uh, yeah, we... uhhh...
    Lovely: [to Whispy Woods] Your friends there have shovels.
    Whispy Woods: What's going on? What are you trying to do?
    Tiff: Well, you see... we were just gonna move Lovely to another spot where she can grow better.
    Tuff: Uh, yeah. Lovely's not getting enough sunshine here.
    Lovely: But I want to stay here, Whispy. Planted next to you forever.
    Tiff: Whispy, listen. We think King Dedede took Lovely turned her into a monster somehow!
    Tuff: It couldn't talk... 'til he changed it.
    Whispy Woods: Ridiculous! Why would he do that?
    Tuff: King Dedede still wants to chop down this forest. He wants to build a golf course, just like he did before!
    Tiff: Whispy, we can't take a chance. We'll dig up the real story!
    Lovely: You've got to stop them, Whispy!
    [Whispy restrains Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff with his roots]
    Tuff: C'mon, Whispy! Put us down!
    Whispy Woods: I won't allow you to do anything to harm Lovely.
    Tiff: Please, Whispy! Lovely's just trying to trick you!
    [Lovely smiles mischievously as she emits an aura around her and starts to grow]
    Tuff: Hey guys, look! Something weird's going on with that flower!
    [Lovely wraps her vines around Whispy's side branches and starts draining his life force even more]
    Lovely: Please, Whispy. I need your help to grow stronger.
    Tiff: Please don't fall asleep, Whispy.
    Tiff: Please, Whispy, you've gotta battle back!
    Whispy Woods: She's not a monster!
    Lovely: [laughs mischievously]
    Tiff: She is, Whispy, and she's gonna steal your life force and destroy you!
    Whispy Woods: You must try to understand. I will never battle Lovely. I'd rather perish.
    Tiff: But Dedede's gonna destroy your whole forest!
    Whispy Woods: [gasps]
    Trees of Whispy Woods: Oh, Whispy, please. You must help us. We're in danger.
    Tiff: Please, Whispy!
    Tuff: She's a monster!
    Whispy Woods: Lovely is not a monster!
    [Lovely laughs mischievously again as she proceeds to drain more of Whispy's life force, causing him to scream in pain and drop Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff from the grasp of his roots. Tuff goes to check on Tiff]
    Tuff: Hey, Tiff!
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Lovely: Nothing you can do can keep me away from Whispy! Don't you get it?! [attacks Tiff and Tuff with her vines]
    Whispy Woods: Lovely! [blocks Lovely's vines with his roots to save Tiff and Tuff] Don't, Lovely! You mustn't hurt my friends.
    Lovely: But Whispy, these oxygen-breathers can't possibly mean more to you than I do.
    Whispy Woods: Of course not, but try to understand.
    Tiff: Lovely did come back!
    Tuff: But now there's a whole bunch of flowers!
    Kirby: Lovely! Lovely! Lovely!
    Tiff: Thanks to Lovely, there's gonna be beautiful flowers in this forest forever.
    Kirby: Lovely!
    Whispy Woods: Thank you, Lovely. You kept your promise.
    Kirby: Lovely! Lovely!

### Labor Daze [1.26]

    Tiff: Mr. Curio, how's your archeological research coming along?
    Professor Curio: Alright, I suppose, but there's still a great deal of work ahead.
    Tiff: Sounds like you're working too hard. There's more to life than just work.
    Professor Curio: You're right, Tiff. That's a good thing to remember.
    Tuggle: Dedede's buildin' something pretty big.
    Tiff: From the looks of all that heavy equipment, I bet it's some kind of factory.
    Melman: So... what is a factory, Tiff?
    Chef Kawasaki: It must have something to do with facts.
    Tiff: No, a factory's a big place where they build things.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Well, you don't say! That's good news.
    Chief Bookem: Hmph. I'd like to know what they're building.
    [King Dedede and Escargoon drive in]
    King Dedede: A---ttention citizens and everybody else living here! Thanks to me, Cappy Town's finally gonna join up with the Industrial Revolution!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Industrial?
    Chief Bookem: Revolution?
    Escargoon: That's right, you backward bumpkins. It's time to ditch your darning needles, get your heads out of your butter churns, and say "howdy-do" to the 21st century!
    King Dedede: When tomorrow morning comes and you hear that siren sound, mosey on down to the factory here and witness a shiny new future! [he and Escargoon both laugh]
    Escargoon: There are your new uniforms... and wear some undergarments!
    [everyone checks out the new factory work uniforms]
    Mabel: Oh, I love the color!
    Buttercup: A no-nonsense garment. Oh!
    Tiff: These look like prison uniforms.
    Escargoon: Ah, hold your comments. What are you, a fashion model?
    Tuff: What happens if we put 'em on?
    Escargoon: You get to hang out at the Dedede Factory as long as you want.
    King Dedede: Yeah, and you also get free household appliances!
    [everyone but Tiff reacts in excitement]
    Chef Kawasaki: That sounds great!
    Tuggle: When will the factory be completed?
    Escargoon: First thing tomorrow morning!
    King Dedede: I'll see ya at the grand opening, folks! [he and Escargoon both laugh again]
    Tiff: I don't trust 'em, Kirby.
    Kirby: Poyo?
    Tuff: Oh, don't be such a spoilsport. This factory thing sounds like fun!
    Tiff: We'll see about that.
    Lady Like: It's a smoke factory.
    Sir Ebrum: I don't think so, my dear.
    Tuff: It's totally awesome, isn't it, Tiff?
    Tiff: If Dedede's involved, I bet it's totally awful.
    Sir Ebrum: I say, this smoke is horrid.
    Lady Like: I hope the air quality inside is better than outside.
    Tiff: Hey, Kirby!
    Escargoon: He's all packed and shipped by now.
    Tiff: Well, if you're not gonna do anything to save Kirby, I will!
    Tiff: Say no to unfair treatment! Demand better working conditions! Know your rights!
    Cappy: [throws tomato at Tiff] Get lost.
    Tiff: All the trees and all the plants are dying away. That factory's ruined everything. If we only knew this before.
    Meta Knight: This kind of destruction is caused by... acid rain.
    Tiff: Acid rain?
    Meta Knight: It is created when toxic chemicals contaminate the atmosphere.
    Tiff: We gotta shut that place down... but, I don’t know. I’m not sure anybody will want to as long as they get their free appliances.
    Waddle Doo: So, I see the troublemaker’s back.
    Escargoon: I hope you’re not here to rouse more rabble.
    Tiff: Nope. Now I want to be a team player so I can get a new TV.
    Waddle Doo: What do you think?
    Escargoon: Welcome aboard, sweetie!
    Tuff: So you came.
    Tiff: I’m here to work.
    Tuff: You’re gonna love it here on the line, Tiff. Now you can get cool stuff!
    Tiff: Tuff, there’s something suspicious about these parts you’re working on.
    Tuff: Like what?
    Tiff: I’m gonna find out for myself.
    Tuff: Me first.
    King Dedede: [laughs] Ice Dragon Robot!
    Escargoon: It's our coolest monster yet, built by our little Cappy friends.
    Tuff: Uh oh.
    Tiff: Dedede made us think he was making appliances, but he was really building a giant robot.
    Tuff: That creep! I'd like to tear it apart with my bare hands!
    Fololo: Me too!
    Falala: So would I!
    Tuff: Well, I'm gonna do it!
    Tiff: Tuff, no. [Tuff makes a mad dash towards the Ice Dragon Robot anyway]
    Tiff: They're growing already!
    Tuff: That's good news.
    Kirby: Poyo. [picks a flower; Tiff and Tuff laugh heartily]
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Be careful with those flowers. They've only recently begun to grow back!
    Hana: You must have respect for nature!
    Tuff: Well, at least things are gettin' back to normal around Cappy Town.
    Professor Curio: The danger inherent in learning a lesson is that what is readily apparent at the outset becomes obscure as time passes, and what was once clear inexorably fades from memory.
    Tuff: What's that mean?
    Tiff: Nevermind. We all learned that you shouldn't mess around with nature. Right, Kirby?

## Season 2
### The Hot Shot Chef / A Spice Odyssey [2.1]

    King Dedede: Yuck! Yuck!! YUCK!!! This slop ain't fit for a doggone dog! There's gotta be something here that's eatable! [takes a bite of a salad, chews for a few seconds then bursts into tears] I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!
    Escargoon: But Majesty, we've got other choices. Instant noodles, cat food, crunchy liver-and-bacon dog treats, hmm? [Dedede looms over him]
    King Dedede: I WANT SOMETHIN' TASTY!!!!!
    [later, at Restaurant Kawasaki...]
    King Dedede: Yuck! Yuck!! YUCK!!! THIS TASTES LIKE TRASH!!! Kawasaki, ain't you got nothing digestion-able in this here dump!?
    Chef Kawasaki: Sorry, Sire. That's every dish on the menu.
    King Dedede: You ain't no chef, YOU'RE A GARBAGEMAN!!
    Escargoon: Come clean, Kawasaki. All chefs have secret recipes. Don't hold out on us!
    Chef Kawasaki: I'm not! That's all I have!
    King Dedede: What a loser. Let's get out of here.
    Chef Kawasaki: But what about your bill?
    King Dedede: Forget it, pizza-face! [throws a pizza at Kawasaki]
    Chef Kawasaki: [tastes the pizza] It tastes okay to me...
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Greetings, Triple D.
    King Dedede: I need a top-class chef for my new restaurant.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You owning a restaurant is like a termite owning a lumber yard.
    King Dedede: I’ll revolutionize Cappy Town’s coo-zine, then I’ll flambé Kirby in a food-for-all.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: That's an appetizing proposition. Sit back while we cook up a cook!
    [the Monster Delivery system activates, and Monsieur Goan emerges from the Monster Transmitter]
    King Dedede: He looks real continental-like.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: N.M.E. Sales Guy: May I introduce... Monsieur Goan!
    Monsieur Goan: Voilà! Le tournedos.
    King Dedede: Tornado?
    Escargoon: Not tornado. Tournedos. That's a fancy foreign language, Sire. [gets bonked by Dedede]
    King Dedede: I was joking, ya beanhead!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Take a taste, Your Majesty. See what you think of his cooking.
    [Dedede tastes Goan's cooking. He enjoys the taste]
    King Dedede: Whoo! Yeah! This guy’s chow is full of pow!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I take it that’s a thumbs up.
    King Dedede: Yuuum! [eats more of Goan's tasty food]
    Escargoon: I want some! I want some! Just a teensy-weensy taste... [reaches for Goan's food but gets bonked again]
    King Dedede: This is yuuum-tastic! [licks the last of the sauce on Goan's dish] This sauce is sauce-alicious! [hands his now-empty plate back to Goan] Monsieur Goan, first we're gonna tickle them Cappies' taste buds. Then we're gonna tackle Kirby!
    Monsieur Goan: Oui.
    Escargoon: Bonsoir!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: My wife and I are honored to be your first customers.
    Hana: I love the decor. It's so elegant!
    Escargoon: No expense has been spared to create the ultimate dining experience for the citizens of Cappy Town.
    Gus: Well, how's the chow?
    Gengu: Did you like it?
    Mayor Len Blustergas: It was heavenly.
    Hana: On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it 100!
    Tuff: But how much did you pay?
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Just $5!
    Tuggle, Gus, & Gengu: Say what?!
    Samo, Yabui, & Mabel: 5 bucks?!
    Melman, Buttercup, & Shepherd: Oh boy!
    Chef Kawasaki: I'm through.
    Professor Curio: I've got to try this place!
    Buttercup: They say that chef is from some fancy foreign country.
    Professor Curio: Mmm... the flavors are fascinating. I wonder what that delightfully tangy taste is?
    Escargoon: That's essence of kumquat, also found in this dish.
    Chief Bookem: Hmm. I'm not sure I'm gonna like orange food.
    Escargoon: We feel an adventurous pallet is a happy pallet.
    Buttercup: Marvelous!
    Escargoon: And now we present... tonight's main entrée!
    [Goan enters and serves several dishes of two pieces of meat, a small piece of salad, and a strawberry each]
    Tuff: Wah! That's it?
    Escargoon: It may be tiny, but what's there is grade A, top of the line quality!
    Tuff: But...
    Escargoon: Just taste it and see!
    [Kirby and the family try their bites]
    Lady Like: The food is fantastico!
    Sir Ebrum: Absolutely smashing, Escargoon!
    Escargoon: Monsieur Goan will be delighted!
    Tuff: More, please!
    [Tiff, however, is feeling disgusted]
    Chef Kawasaki: I can't even give my food away.
    Tuff: What are you gonna do?
    Tiff: I guess you can always pay people to eat here.
    Chef Kawasaki: Kirby, did you put all of those peppers in the chowder?!
    Chef Kawasaki: [sighs] He was my only customer and I turned him into a flamethrower...
    King Dedede: If it's hot they want, we'll give 'em volcanic vittles!
    Monsieur Goan: Oui!
    Tiff: They're servin' up a special sorbet! We gotta counterattack 'em fast!
    Chef Kawasaki: It's done. This dish is so hot, it may burn through the pot.
    Tiff: What is it?
    Chef Kawasaki: I call it Toxic Atomic Curry. When they get a taste of this, I'll be the hottest chef in town! [laughs maniacally]
    Tiff: But people are gettin' tired of spicy food. We-
    Chef Kawasaki: Tell me, Tiff. Where's Kirby?
    Tiff: Kirby? He's across the street eating.
    Chef Kawasaki: Too bad, I'll taste it myself. I can take the heat. [tastes his new Superspicy Curry and becomes ablaze]
    Tiff: [gasp] You're on fire!
    Chef Kawasaki: Hahahaa-haha! Atomic Curry!
    King Dedede: Who wants to see what Monsieur Goan's gonna cook up now?
    Cappies: I do!
    King Dedede: Take it away, Monsieur Goan!
    Monsieur Goan: Okay.
    Tuff: Kirby's in trouble!
    Tiff: That monster knows every trick in the book!
    Meta Knight: You mean in the cookbook!
    Tiff: Hey, that's a pretty good one!
    King Dedede: [Laughing] Won't be long now, Kirby!
    Kirby: [freezes]
    Tiff: Kirby!
    Escargoon: Relax, you'll feel a lot better when you try a bracing bowl of Kirby sorbet.
    King Dedede: Just chill out, Kirby.
    Tuff: Yeah! He's Fire Kirby!
    Meta Knight: No, that's the heartburn from Kawasaki's cooking.
    Chef Kawasaki: I finally out-spiced Kirby!
    Escargoon: Alright, what's this all about a punishment?
    King Dedede: If you ask me, it's punishment enough to mangle with the peasants!
    Tiff: Listen, you tried to make everybody eat Kirby, so now it's your turn.
    [King Dedede and Escargoon gasp together in confusion]
    Tuff: You gotta eat Kawasaki's Toxic Atomic Curry!
    [Dedede and Escargoon laugh at the ridiculous-sounding thought of eating Toxic Atomic Curry]
    King Dedede: What'chu mean? That ain't no kind of punishment at all!
    Escargoon: There's nothing you can cook up that's too hot for us to handle!
    Chef Kawasaki: Here you go! [serves Dedede and Escargoon the Toxic Atomic Curry]
    King Dedede: Looks wimpy!
    Escargoon: Yeah, no sweat!
    [Dedede and Escargoon try their bites of the Toxic Atomic Curry, then they turn red and scream as they become ablaze and then turn into ashes. Everyone laughs but then Kirby coughs up a small flame and becomes confused]

### Hatch Me if You Can [2.2]

    Tiff: Wish I had a sweater, it's gettin' chilly out.
    Chief Bookem: Hmm. No missing egg reports coming yet. Nobody broke into any nests, lately. I guess Kirby can go back to sittin' on the egg.
    Tiff: Chief Bookem...
    Tuff: We wanna know how it got here.
    Chief Bookem: Sorry, kids. I’m afraid I can’t help you there. I’m a cop, not a detective.
    Chef Kawasaki: I bet this thing’d make a great omelet!
    Tuff: He’s no help.
    Tiff: Mr. Curio?
    Professor Curio: Hmmm... I’m not absolutely certain, but this may be the world’s largest cue-ball!
    Tiff: So I guess that means you don’t know.
    Professor Curio: Well, it’s certainly an egg of some kind, but I don’t know precisely what kind.
    Tuff: This is hopeless.
    Tiff: Maybe the doctor’ll know.
    Dr. Yabui: Well, I can’t find anything wrong with him. It seems like he’s healthy enough.
    Tiff': We know Kirby’s okay, Doctor. We wanna know about the egg!
    Doctor Yabui: Oh! I’m sorry. I assumed Kirby was the one who laid the egg.
    Tuff: I know it sounds kinda wacky, but maybe Kirby’s a bird.
    Falala: Hmm, maybe that’s why he likes to sleep in Tokkori’s nest every night.
    Tiff: Just because he acts like a bird doesn’t mean he is one!
    Professor Curio: If the idea of laying an egg got into Kirby’s head...
    Chief Bookem: ...that’d make him an egghead!
    Tiff: Well, they're not gonna be any help. I'm gonna have to crack this egg case myself.
    Tiff: Aha! "The common cuckoo: This bird lays its eggs in the nest of other birds, leaving their offspring to be hatched and raised by the inhabitants of the invaded nest."
    King Dedede: Well lookie here. Little Miss Brainy's got 'er nose stuck inside another book.
    Escargoon: Reading up on egg-xistentialism?
    Tiff: I bet you two are the ones who stuck that egg in Tokkori's nest.
    King Dedede: Now why would we do something like that?
    Escargoon: How do you know it's not really Kirby's anyway? After all, it wouldn't be the first time that little dodo bird laid an egg.
    King Dedede: Laid a egg!
    [Tiff growls at what Dedede and Escargoon had just said]
    Escargoon: I hope this works, sire.
    King Dedede: Wait'll they see what hatches.
    Rick: It's rainin' cats and dogs, but I never thought an egg would rain on me' 'ead! Look, mate, that egg of yours won't hatch if you don't protect it from the cold and rain. Here's a trick a platypus taught me. [surrounds the Galbo egg with a ring of grass and provides Kirby with a leaf to shield it with] That'll shelter the shell from the rain, but you're going to have to help the little fella stay cozy. Just like this. [incubates the egg for a second] Now, you try. [Kirby incubates the egg] Righto! Good luck, Kirby!
    Fololo: What is that?!
    Falala: Look at those teeth!
    Tuff: That's the ugliest bird I ever saw!
    Tiff: I don't think that's a bird. It doesn't even have wings!
    Tuff: Well, what is it then?
    Tiff: It's a... thing.
    [the baby Galbo hops towards Kirby, frightening his friends for a bit. It starts snuggling and playing with Kirby. Tiff attempts to pet the baby Galbo, but it hops away from her. Tuff, Fololo, and Falala all laugh]
    Tuff: The thing likes Kirby, but it thinks Tiff's too scary!
    King Dedede: That baby monster finally hatched!
    Escargoon: But payin' for two monsters is expensive. I hope this plan works!
    King Dedede: It'll work 'less you do somethin' to mess it up!
    Escargoon: I'm sure it'll work like a charm.
    Tiff: Kirby's gonna have a full-time job keepin' that thing fed.
    Tuff: Let's go get lunch! Watchin' it eat so much is makin' me hungry.
    Tiff: Good idea. We'll let them get acquainted.
    Honey: [about the baby Galbo] That thing looks really weird.
    Spikehead: Yeah. It's mouth takes up its whole face almost!
    Chief Bookem: That creature's got to be stopped!
    Chef Kawasaki: It's a public menace, that's what it is.
    Tiff: What do you mean? It's only a baby.
    Dr. Yabui: Just a baby?!
    Tuggle: Yeah, right.

### Cappy New Year [2.3]

    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Hey there. Happy New Year's Eve, Triple D!
    King Dedede: This new year's gonna be a blast. [laughs]
    Chef Kawasaki: I heard that up north the folks all ring bells right at midnight to welcome in the new year.
    Gus: Well out in the country, they start to party at noon and boogie on down to the break of dawn!
    Professor Curio: In some places, everyone pauses a moment to reflect on the year passed.
    Tokkori: Yeah, let's go to bed at 11!
    Tiff: We can create our own celebration. We can do whatever we want to!
    Tuff: That sure was some explosion!
    Sir Ebrum: Dear, perhaps we should build a float.
    Lady Like: It's a wonderful idea, darling, but I'd feel a lot safer if we knew what the King was planning to do with his new monster.
    Escargoon: That monster's a pyrotechnomaniac!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: The old year has ended, and to officially welcome in the new year, we're proud to present the brand new Cappy Town celebration; our first annual Float and Firework Show!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: It's almost midnight! So ten...
    All: ...9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... [fireworks occur behind Parasol Kirby] HAPPY NEW YEAR!
    Kirby: Pappy! [waves to everybody as fireworks shaped like the sentence A HAPPY NEW YEAR appear behind him]

### Abusement Park [2.4]

    Tiff: Papa, isn't it suspicious that the King's acting so nice all the sudden?
    Buttercup: The King's had plenty of Cappies over to the castle before, but it was always to the dungeon.
    Sword Knight: [about Mike Kirby] He's gonna sing!
    Blade Knight: Uh-oh.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [about Mike Kirby's singing] It's like he's scratching down a chalkboard! I can't take it! I'm sending Kirby back...
    Meta Knight: I fear Microphone Kirby may be Kirby's most powerful form!
    Tiff: Now you tell me!

### Junk Jam [2.5]

    Tuff: Kirby, doesn't your stomach ever get tired?

### The Kirby Derby - Part I [2.6]

    [After Tuff hits a rock in the road which causes Kirby to get thrown out of the vehicle, and later lands on King Dedede's head after him and Escargoon jump into a river to get away]
    King Dedede: I'V GOTTA GET THAT GOOFBALL!!!!!
    Tiff: Tuff, I almost got run over! You should stick to a tricycle!

### The Kirby Derby - Part II [2.7]

    Mayor Len Blustergas: You and I were married forty years ago today. That's why I wanted to win so badly!

### A Recipe for Disaster [2.8]

    King Dedede: I paid Nightmare Enterprises a heap o' money so they can send me a heap o' popcorn?
    Chef Shiitake: A great chef must use everything at his disposal to create his cuisine. That is what I wanted to teach you!
    Chef Shiitake: Don't worry! No matter what happens, you already have someone who loves your cooking.

### Watermelon Felon [2.9]

    Meta Knight: Sometimes the pen is mightier than the sword.
    King Dedede: Well, you got a problem with me, pinky?
    Kirby: [Barfs out the newspapers and the newspapers flood the castle]
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [in reaction to King Dedede uploading the millions of newspapers that Kirby flooded his entire castle with to Nightmare's Fortress] HEY! What do you think you're doing?!
    King Dedede: There's a lot more where that came from. Nobody wants these newspapers anymore, so I gotta put 'em somewhere.

### Escar-Gone [2.10]

    Erasem: Beware of Erasem! I'm fearsome, but you won't remember. Whoever is attacked by me... is destined to be forgotten forever.
    King Dedede: It's adios, amoeba for you, stranger! Where are my guards?!
    Escargoon: Look, Buster! I wasn't hatched yesterday, you know, so unless you want trouble with a capital T, I suggest you drop the amnesia act now!
    Meta Knight: Tiff. Have you ever met that snail before?
    Tiff: Never. I was just being nice to him because he seemed so upset.
    Meta Knight: Hmmm. We've never met, but somehow he knew both of our names.
    Tiff: I think the guy's missing a few marbles.
    Meta Knight: Maybe so. We'd better keep an eye on him in case his condition worsens.
    Tiff: I wonder if his name really is Escargoon...
    Escargoon: [having overheard Tiff & Meta Knight's conversation and realizing they've forgotten him as well] Oh, mercy! This is the darkest day of my life! [runs away, crying]
    King Dedede: I sure am Dede-delightful-lookin'! I bet I could even be one of them stupor-models.
    Erasem: Bye bye, Kirby.

### Monster Management [2.11]

    King Dedede: Ahh, [chuckles] Ain't nothin' like startin' the day off with a bubblin' bath.
    Escargoon: It's great to be the king.
    King Dedede: Mmm-hm.
    King Dedede: There's monsters everywhere!
    King Dedede: We got a problem.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Calm down, I can explain everything. This is a demo for our Monster Management service.
    King Dedede: Monster Management?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Our new management director suggested that we give you a full hands-on demonstration. I believe you've met. Say hello, Joe.
    Knuckle Joe: [turns around smiling while donning his new business suit] That's Knuckle Joe!
    [King Dedede & Escargoon's jaws drop in a huge state of surprise]
    Knuckle Joe: Nice to see you again, tubby.
    Tokkori: Hey! Quit pluckin' my plumage, bub!
    Tuff: Every monster in the universe must be here.
    Tiff: This is crazy.
    King Dedede: Knuckle Joe ain't qualified to work for N.M.E.!
    Tiff: But Joe, I thought you wanted to battle on the side of the good guys.
    Knuckle Joe: Yeah? Well, think again.
    Tokkori: What a mess. It's gonna be monster mayhem! Well, I sure hope Kirby took his vitamins today.
    [several Mini-Monsters rampage throughout Cappy Town, causing as much trouble as they want and wrecking as many things as they can find]
    Chef Kawasaki: Ah! Knock it off, you lowlifes, or at least order something!
    Tuggle: Yo! No piggin' out at my place without payin'!
    [Knuckle Joe watches the chaos unfold in Cappy Town from a rooftop]
    Knuckle Joe: Perfect. Just like I planned.
    [pan to more trouble caused in Cappy Town by the Mini-Monsters]
    Prof. Curio: Ah! That urn's an antique you uncultured brute!
    Meta Knight: What are you up to, Joe? You are putting the planet in danger!
    Knuckle Joe: Just tryin' to keep my bosses happy.
    Tiff: I think we finally got most of them.
    Tuff: Oh, that Knuckle Joe! Why did he make all this trouble?!
    Meta Knight: [approaches Kirby and the kids alongside Sword and Blade] Something big is brewing at the castle. Let's go!
    Meta Knight: Masher is a real heavyweight.
    Tiff: [Replying to Meta Knight about Masher being a real heavyweight] You said it!
    King Dedede: It whupped Meta Knight quick.
    Escargoon: That Masher's a marvel.
    Knuckle Joe: laughs You ain't seen nothin' yet.
    [Knuckle Joe leaps down, tosses away his business suit, and charges in to join in Masher's beatdown of Kirby]
    Tiff: Knuckle Joe! [starts shedding tears] Please don't do it.
    Knuckle Joe: Get ready, Kirby. Your time is up! See how ya like this! Vulcan Jab, Vulcan Jab, Vulcan Jab! (starts pounding on Kirby as well)
    Tiff: Poor Kirby.
    Tuff: One bad guy was enough, Tiff. How can Kirby win two against one?
    King Dedede: [in reaction to Knuckle Joe's sudden betrayal against Masher] Knuckle Joe, you was supposed to clobber Kirby, not mess with Masher!
    Knuckle Joe: I tricked ya!
    [everyone reacts in surprise]
    Knuckle Joe: It took a long time to plan, but it was worth it. I'm a monster hunter now, and I wanted to bag one of the big ones. That meant goin' after Masher!
    Tuff: So that's it.
    Tiff: You didn't work for them. You were only pretending to work for Nightmare Enterprises!
    Knuckle Joe: Yeah, I figured they wouldn't let me get to their strongest monsters, so I sent them my resume.
    Meta Knight: Hmmm. So you hunted down Masher... with a suit and tie?
    Dedede: That's De-de-de-devious! [laughing]
    Escargoon: What are you laughing at? Knuckle Joe just made you look like a knucklehead.
    Dedede: AAAAH! You two-timer! Nobody monkeys with Triple D!
    Knuckle Joe: Sorry, tubby. Too late!
    Escargoon: Now look who's mashed.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Sir, I must take full responsibility for this disaster. I'll clear out my desk.
    eNeMeE: Forget it! Let those fools think they've beaten us. When they let their guard down, we'll teach them a lethal lesson. [laughs evilly]
    Tuff: We thought you were workin' for the bad guys.
    Tiff: You were like a double agent, Joe.
    Knuckle Joe: Yeah, well I couldn't have done it without my pal Kirby.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Meta Knight: Hunting down monsters throughout the universe... Joe, your father would be proud.
    Knuckle Joe: Kirby. Anytime ya need a partner, just give me a call. I'll be there in a flash. See ya! [flies off]
    Tiff: Bye, Joe!
    Kirby: Poyo! [waves goodbye to Knuckle Joe then mimics his nose rub]

### Prediction Predicament - Part I [2.12]

    King Dedede: Eh, what happened?
    Escargoon: You were sleepwalking, that's what happened! Or should I say you were sleepwhacking!
    King Dedede: [screams] Kirby's after me again! [runs away]
    Kirby: [runs towards King Dedede] Poyo!
    King Dedede: [runs faster] You keep dem fangs away from me, pinkeh!
    Kirby: [runs faster] Payo, yayo!
    Mabel: The monster that has been haunting you is your conscience, Sire.
    King Dedede: What's a conscience?
    Mabel: It is the goodness that lies in the deepest part of you.
    Escargoon: Oh please. The only thing lying in the deepest part of him is a fried cheese log.
    Tuff: Wonder what Dedede's up to?
    Tiff: Based on past experience, I think it's safe to say it's something stupid.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [about Phantom Star Gerath] Thousand years away, hmm? I don't know about our little friends, but I for one am feeling kind of impatient. What do you say we speed up the process just a little bit?
    Nightmare: What a wonderful idea. [laughs evilly]

### Prediction Predicament - Part II [2.13]

    Meta Knight: Mice will always scamper away from a ship before it sinks.
    Tokkori: Kirby... Any moment now we'll be dust in the wind. We've always been the best of buddies, huh, Kirby? Huh? Kirby? KIRBY!! Listen when I'm talkin' to ya!
    King Dedede: What? You're leaving?
    Escargoon: I wanted to spend this time with my mama. I thought you might get hungry at the end so here's where all the snacks are.
    King Dedede: You always stay by my side no matter what.
    Escargoon: Oh, Majesty! Farewell. [He attempts to leave, but suddenly a ripping sound is heard from Dedede tearing the letter in pieces]
    King Dedede: You ain't leaving now!
    Escargoon: Huh? [As Dedede hugging him] LET ME GO, I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!
    King Dedede: [laughing, Escargoon grunting] What's the matter with you, Escargoon? Can't you take the heat!? [laughing]
    Escargoon: I WANT MY MAMA!!!
    Escargoon: Sire, you're a one tactless-blubber mouth. [Dedede punches him]
    King Dedede: Keep quiet, you! [Escargoon weeps] Huh?
    [Escargoon cries loudly]
    King Dedede: Hey, what's the matter, ol' buddy?
    Escargoon: It's...just...so sad. [sobs] I'll never call you "blubber mouth" again.
    King Dedede: Yeah... that's right. And pretty soon I won't be able to smash you with my mallet no more neither.
    Escargoon: [Sighs] Sire.
    King Dedede: Escargoon! [He and Escargoon bawl as they embrace]
    Escargoon: You did it! You lovable lug, you! You finally listened to your heart for once!

### Sheepwrecked [2.14]

    Amon: The time has come! We must defeat our oppressors. Our natural meekness has been mistaken for weakness, but from this day forward, we will not behave like simpering sheep, but like ravenous wolves. Throughout history, we have been dominated by fear. But now our oppressors will learn to fear us!
    [flocks of angry sheep rampage throughout Cappy Town, eating as much food as they can find while also wrecking as many antiques as possible]
    Chef Kawasaki: I knew sheep liked grass, but who knew they liked my food?
    Prof. Curio: Oh, you can't go tearin' up my shop like a pack of wolves!
    Tuggle: Hey, you're gettin' wool all over my merchandise there.
    Amon: You have done well. Dream Land is now at our mercy, but we will show no mercy. We will conquer this planet, my friends... and soon, the entire universe! [he and the other sheep howl triumphantly in unison]
    Amon: Now you Cappies are the shuddering sheep, and the wicked wolves are in charge.
    Cappy: Alright, what do you want us to do?
    Amon: All of you, BAA!
    Chef Kawasaki: Baa, baa?
    Prof. Curio: Baa, baa...
    Amon: I said, all of you! I command you! BAA!!!!!
    [The Cappies and Waddle Dees baa like sheep]
    Amon: Louder, or the wolves will get angry.
    [The Cappies and Waddle Dees baa even louder]
    Amon: I command you. BAA! Or you will suffer the consequences! Those who disobey me will face the chopping block!
    Amon: These cowards don't deserve their freedom.
    Amon: There must be others like me. Others who yearn for freedom. I will seek them out, and perhaps one day I will lead a new flock.

### War of the Woods [2.15]

    Whispy Woods: [about Acore] I can't be certain. He's been around for 800 years. There are many perils at such a great age.
    Tiff: TUFF!
    Tuff: Ah! Hey, Tiff, what's wrong? How come you look so mad?
    Tiff: You know why! You were fighting!
    Iro: We were just helping this old tree.
    Tuff: Yeah, Whispy Woods asked us to.
    Tiff: Oh really so Whispy Woods asked you to kick out those animals?
    Tuff: Well, not exactly...
    Tiff: Of course not. Because those animals helped that tree by living in it!
    Tuff, Iro, Spikehead And Honey: Huh!?
    Kirby: Poyo?
    Coo: Acore provides us with a place to stay. And in exchange, we harm those insects and enrich the soil.
    Tiff: That's right. Kicking them out was a mistake!
    Tuff, Iro, Spikehead And Honey: [sadly] Aw...
    Tuff: We were only trying to help...
    Tokkori: Well, ya didn't. Thanks to you that tree's even worse off than before!
    Coo: You helped them too, Tokkori.
    Tokkori: Yeah, I forgot that.
    King Dedede: Now that them bothersome animals is gone, I can finally get to work!
    Escargoon: Go ahead and slice the tree like you slice your tee-off shots.
    King Dedede: At last, I'm gonna achieve my goal of cutting down all these trees to build myself a country club. [sniffs] It's truly a dream come true..! [whimpers, then cries loudly]
    Escargoon: Save the tears for your golf score, Sire. Now it's time to start hacking.
    King Dedede: [stops crying] Good idea. [laughing]
    King Dedede: Escargoon!
    Escargoon: Your majesty! Come back!
    King Dedede: We've been De-De-Divided!
    Tiff: Please don't fall, Acore!
    Tokkori: It's too much! We can't hold 'im!
    Tiff: Yes we can, just push!
    Coo: We can't give up!
    Rick: We can't let our friend come crashin' to the ground, mates!
    [meanwhile, King Dedede and Escargoon are watching Kirby and co.'s valiant efforts to keep Acore standing from atop a nearby cliff]
    King Dedede: [laughing] Them do-gooders think we gave up!
    Escargoon: They're always overestimatin' our common sense. [has the Grasshopper Eavesdropper detonate near a nearby waterfall, causing a flood in one final attempt to destroy Acore]

### Pink-Collar Blues [2.16]

    Escargoon: Believe me, it'll be cheaper than your hospital bill if you have to eat my cooking.
    Tiff: Don't Eat It!
    King Dedede: Escargoon! Let's play some putt-putt!
    Escargoon: I don't have time to watch you cheat at miniature golf. My entire life savings are in jeopardy!
    King Dedede: Whadda ya mean I cheat?
    Escargoon: Oops.
    King Dedede: I ain't never cheated at miniature golf!
    Kirby: Poooyooooo! Poyo! [laughs cutely] Poyo! Poy!

### Tourist Trap [2.17]

    Tiff: Kabu here is not only extremely ancient, but he's also the wisest-- [notices the tourists throwing coins into Kabu's insides and gasps] Hey, no throwing coins!
    [the tourists continue to throw coins into Kabu anyway]
    King Dedede: Let them folks toss away. It's free money.
    [the tourists start painting graffiti all over Kabu]
    Tuff: Tiff, look what they're doin'! [Tiff notices what the tourists are now doing to Kabu] Knock it off!
    Tiff: Kabu's one of the greatest treasures in Dream Land!
    [the tourists bicker back at her in a foreign language]
    Waddle Doo: Chill out. We do this every place we visit.
    Tiff: How rude!
    Escargoon: Ah, who cares? It's just a talking tiki. Let's move it!
    [King Dedede laughing]
    [the tourists prepare to leave for their next destination]
    Tiff: I'm sorry, Kabu. We'll come back and clean you up.
    Kabu: I could use some moisturizer too.
    Waddle Doo: [to the tourists, pointing to his flask of ice] Shibi ton pa, ha ta sai Kirby!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: As far as tourism goes, Sire, here's my opinion. You might as well rename Dream Land "Snoozeville"!
    King Dedede: Well, as far as I'm concerned, them tourists can take a hike!

### A Novel Approach [2.18]

    King Dedede: I'm readin' it first. Now, let's see... huh? Now this can't be right. This some kinda joke? [screams] Somebody stole all the pictures out of this here book! It's all gobbledygook here.
    Escargoon: They're words.
    [beat]
    Escargoon: [screams] You rule a kingdom and you don't even know how to read?
    [beat]
    King Dedede: Course I know how to read, you dummy! I learned how to before I got expelled from kindergarten!
    Escargoon: Give me that book! I'm only up to chapter 2!
    Tiff: They must be under a spell. Knock it off; King Dedede is using this game to hurt Kirby!
    Rowlin [Fake]: It's too late Tiff, you can't break my spell. [laughs evilly]
    Rowlin: You imposter! How dare you be me.
    Tiff: So then you're the real author?
    Rowlin: You've been hoodwinked by her. She didn't create Pappy Pottey!
    Rowlin: No matter how sad we feel or how bad our circumstances, we can use our imaginations to dream something better. We should never give up on our dreams because they're what build our tomorrows.
    Rowlin: So all along she was a monster in disguise.
    Meta Knight: That's Broom King.
    Broom King: [laughs evilly] I'll show you who's king! Attack!
    Broom King: [laughs evilly] Anyone who dares oppose me will be swept away!
    King Dedede: Hey, how's anybody supposed to read that?

### Snack Attack - Part I [2.19]

    King Dedede: I want all them candies with mini-figures in this here store!
    Tuggle: Every single one of 'em?
    Gengu: I don't know.
    King Dedede: Perhaps this'll persuade ya. [laughs as he places blocks of money at Tuggle & Gengu's counter to their delight]
    Meta Knight: Hmm... So they think my mini figure will be popular. Hmm... I like that.
    Chief Bookem: [to Dedede] I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I gotta do my duty. Next time you wanna steal, just raise our taxes.
    King Dedede: I felt like a zoo animal sitting in that jail cell.
    Escargoon: No self-respecting zoo would take you.
    Narrator: Is the game over for Kirby and his friends? Find out on the next Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

### Snack Attack - Part II [2.20]

    Narrator: In our last episode, Tuggle and Gengu teamed up to create a new taste sensation, each packed with a powerful toy surprise. Even the grown-ups went gaga collecting the action figures... and Kirby was happy to scarf down the candy. But King Dedede schemed with Nightmare Enterprises to drop a destructive new line of action figures on the unsuspecting Cappies. Now the mini-milita is on the march. Can Kirby conquer them?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You've got to think creatively, D. The monsters were designed to look like toys, so they could play around with their enemies.
    King Dedede: Can't tell a crook by its blubber!
    Meta Knight: This is perfect.
    Tiff: What're you talking about?
    Tuff: It's over. Kirby's gonna lose the match.
    Meta Knight: In order to mature, Kirby must be pushed to his utmost limits. Only then will he learn to exceed them.
    Tuff: Uh oh. Kirby's gonna get pulverized.
    Tiff: That wrestler's too big.
    Meta Knight: Every opponent has a weakness.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laughs] I tried to sell you more fighting monsters, but you decided to pinch your pennies. Now you're stuck with the junk, Big D.
    King Dedede: I'll never collect nothin' again!

### Cartoon Buffoon [2.21]

    King Dedede: Do y'all know how to tell a story? Do y'all know how to draw 'til your fingers fall off? Do y'all know how to color inside the lines? Then we want YOU! [Laughs] I'm the most important person in this whole jointhouse! Heck, I'm the producer!
    Spikehead: A producer? What does a producer do?
    Iro: A producer doesn't do anything.
    Escargoon: Hmmmm, they gotcha there, Majesty.
    [the Cappies present their poorly-drawn pictures of Dedede Man]
    Mayor Len: I think I've really captured you, Sire.
    King Dedede: [tears the drawing out of Len's hand] I oughtta capture you!
    Iro: What do you think, Your Majesty?
    King Dedede: [tears the drawing out of Iro's hand] I think it stinks!
    Tuggle: Pretty good, huh?
    King Dedede: [tears the drawing out of Tuggle's hand] Pretty awful!
    Melman: I slimmed you down a bit.
    King Dedede: [yells as he tears the drawing out of Melman's hand]
    King Dedede: All you lazy louts better be workin'!
    Chief Bookem: Lazy?!
    Mayor Len: With all due respect, we're working as hard as we can.
    King Dedede: If you don't get crackin', I'm gonna have to give you all a whackin'!
    Escargoon: [Grunts] We'd better air what we just have.
    [the altered opening of King Dedede's new show starts playing]
    King Dedede: [singing to the opening] Dedede! That's the name you should know! Dedede! He's the king of the show! You'll holler and hoot, he'll give Kirby the boot! Dedede's the one!
    Tiff: [reacting to the new show's altered opening] Hey! Kirby's supposed to be the star!
    Tuff: Yeah, now it's about Dedede.
    Tiff: Okay, guys. Get ready.
    Tuff: Our lines are coming up.
    Meta Knight: Tiff, I am nervous. I have never... acted before.
    Tiff: Don't worry. You'll do great.
    Meta Knight: Thank you.
    King Dedede: [laughs] I AM A SUPAHSTAR WARRIAH. [exclaims]
    Tiff: "Dedede Saves the Day"? Hey, wait! Where'd that title come from?!
    Tiff: That cheat! Dedede made Kirby look like the bad guy!
    Tuff: He must've switched stuff around while we weren't looking.
    Escargoon: Good morning, Majesty.
    Dedede: Well, if it ain't my faithful servant, Escargoon!
    Escargoon: My, aren't you looking fit as a fiddle!
    Dedede: You're downright spiffy yourself.
    Escargoon: Have you seen Kirby today, Majesty?
    Dedede: He don't scare me none!
    Tiff: Those two changed my script so they look like heroes! [Growls]
    Tuff: If Dedede and Escargoon are heroes, this sure isn't a reality show.
    Escargoon: We're right behind you, Majesty. You're a hero to us all!
    King Dedede: Oh come now. Little ol' me a hero? Surely you jestin'!
    Meta Knight: Look! It is Fire Dedede, our Hero! [to You] I would never say that.
    King Dedede: Look at that charisma!
    Escargoon: Majesty, we're gonna have to ad-lib this part, we never wrote the last two pages of the script!
    King Dedede: Ad-lib? YOU COULDN'T TELL ME THIS BEFORE, YOU SCATTERBRAINED [As he hits Escargoon with his mallet] SLUG?!
    King Dedede: [sigh] All this animation's giving me palpitation!
    Escargoon: I'll never direct another cartoon.
    Tuff: Hey, this is great!
    Tiff: It's one of those shows that's so bad it's good!

### Don't Bank on It [2.22]

    Escargoon: [screams] Look! A whole pile of ugly monsters! [Dedede hammers him]
    King Dedede: Them things is handsome. They gotta be good-lookin' 'cause they look just like me. They're Dedede Dolls!
    Escargoon: Ah, is this a joke? I never imagined you as a doll.
    King Dedede: [chuckles] Yeah, these here mini-Ds is gonna make me a bazillion bucks.
    King Dedede: Time for me to work my hypno-hoot-dooey.
    King Dedede: [speaking through the Dedede Dolls] Dedede... You like me... Dedede... You trust me...
    Chief Bookem: [laughs] What do you know? It does bring good fortune.
    Meta Knight: But haven't you ever wondered how all the money got there in the first place?
    King Dedede: Sleep tight, my little chump. You about to have a crude awakenin'. [chuckles]
    King Dedede: Dedede is tired. I ain't gettin' no rest. If I can't sleep, then neither can you fools! WAKE UP! [starts psychically using his Dedede Dolls to pummel the residents of Cappy Town, laughing all the while, except for Tiff, who already locked up her own doll inside one of her drawers before going to sleep]
    Escargoon: Morning, Sire.
    King Dedede: You sleep in a boxin' ring?
    Escargoon: This doll beat me up. Some late-night comedian put it in my bed while I was sleepin'. Wonder who that could be?
    King Dedede: [laughs] That's great! Now I know I ain't the only one in this here kingdom who feels permanently pooped out.
    Escargoon: That selfish sack of slag. If it were up to me, I'd give him one of these. [bonks his Dedede Doll]
    King Dedede: Ow! Hey, somebody just knocked me on my noggin. You throw somethin' at me?
    Escargoon: Not me. All I did was gently tap on the doll, like this. [bonks his Dedede Doll again, unknowingly causing Dedede to feel the pain on his noggin again]
    Tokkori: That's one dangerous doll. Last night, it stomped me without any warnin'. Kick that thing out!
    [Kirby kicks his doll, unknowingly knocking Dedede down as a result]
    Escargoon: Hey, watch it! I just had your hat cleaned.
    King Dedede: Hey! Quit strangling me!
    Escargoon: I'm only tryin' to prevent somethin' terrible from happenin' to ya, Sire!
    Cappies: Here's your crummy stickers! Thanks for nothin'.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: I can't believe I ever thought the king was trustworthy.
    Chief Bookem: I should've known it was a big scam.
    Mabel: Why in the world would I want to see his face all the time?
    Escargoon: We're broke. We're right back where we've started, Sire.
    King Dedede: I can't afford to buy no more monsters. [cries] But I still got one doll left so's I can get my revenge!
    Escargoon: I dunno. Playing with dolls can be hazardous to your health.
    King Dedede: That don't matter none to me so long as I get that Kirby! [laughs]
    Tiff: What's he doing?
    Escargoon: Maybe lack of sleep made him crazy.
    Tiff: Now that's embarrassing.
    Escargoon: Honey, you don't know the meaning of embarrassing.
    Tokkori: Turn into Doll Kirby!
    [Kirby jumps up in an attempt to transform and gain the ability of the Dedede Doll he just inhaled, but falls back down, unable to gain any ability]
    Tokkori: Figures. Guess you don't have enough brains to be a doll.

### Kirby Takes the Cake [2.23]

    Tuff: Hah! This is fun. I bet Kirby doesn't know a thing about his surprise party.
    Tiff: Probably. He hardly knows anything.
    Tuff, Spikehead, Iro, & Honey: That's true.
    Mayor Len: Kirby, I didn't see you there! This is no place for you, I'm afraid.
    Prof. Curio: That's right. We're busy, so, uh... Run along.
    Mayor Len: Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo. [Kirby begins to leave] Bye bye, Kirby!
    Chef Kawasaki: Oh, I can't have you in my kitchen, Kirby! Out!
    Chief Bookem: Oh! Sorry, Kirby. Lots to do today. Gotta apprehend a couple of donuts!
    King Dedede: That there's a weapon of mass Dedede-struction.
    Tiff: Hey, Tuff. Do you ever get the feeling that somebody's spyin' on us?
    Tuff: Who'd spy on us?
    King Dedede: You saw it! This whole town's revoltin'!
    Escargoon: You said it!
    King Dedede: They lookin' to dispossess me and tarnish the reputation of the Dedede Dynasty! Them ungrateful ingrates!
    Escargoon: After all you've done to them!
    King Dedede: [growls] I'll stamp out them double-crossers! How can them Cappies Dedede-throne ME?!
    Escargoon: I saw this coming. After all, a ruler like you is loud, mean, nasty, sneaky, self-centered...[King Dedede angrily flattens him, weakly]...did I mention violent...
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Hey there. What up, Three D?
    King Dedede: I'll tell you what's up. I need you to send me your most powerful monster!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Our most powerful monster? Sounds urgent.
    King Dedede: You bet it's urgent! I'm about to become the victim of a Cappy-comb!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I think I've got one for you, but I should warn ya. He's a bit of a slippery character.
    King Dedede: Whadda ya mean?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You see, he has trouble distinguishing between friend and foe. Poor little fella gets confused sometimes. I'd wanna handle this one with care, Big D!
    King Dedede: You send it over and we'll handle it real good!
    Tokkori: What's that? Nobody wants to play with ya? [bursts out laughing about what Kirby told him] Nobody wants to play with ya, because nobody here likes ya!
    Kirby: [shocked by what Tokkori just said to him] POYO?!
    Tokkori: Ever since you got here, you've been a pink pain in the neck. As usual, I'm the only one around here with the guts to tell you the truth. Everybody says that Kirby is nothin' but trouble. If I was you, I'd fly the coop cause you ain't welcome here, Sonny! [Kirby starts packing up] With you outta the way, things would finally get back to normal, and I could take over this cottage permanent. Booooy, wouldn't that be the day? [notices that Kirby's gone] Huh? Kirby? Where'd that boy go?
    [King Dedede and Escargoon arrive in their limo to attack the Cappies' anniversery preparations]
    Mayor Len Blustergas: [seeing King Dedede and Escargoon, and in horror] Oh no, it's King Dedede!
    Tiff: What!? He ran away?!
    Tokkori: That's what I said, ain't it?
    Tiff: Tokkori...WHY WOULD KIRBY WANNA RUN AWAY!?
    Tokkori: If you really wanna know, Kirby and I had a little talk. I said he'd be better off elsewhere since nobody likes him here anyway!
    Tiff: How could you say such an awful thing!?!
    Tokkori: Well how come none of YOU would play with him?
    Tuff: [teasing] That's for us to know and you to find out!
    Tiff: [grabbing Tokkori] Are you telling us the truth about Kirby?!
    Tokkori: [absolutely terrified] YEAH! YEAH, IT'S TRUE!!
    Tiff: YEAH?! Then you'd better get out there and find him! AND NOW!!!
    Tokkori: [flying out of the house] AAAAGHH!! KIRBY!!
    Kabu: Wait. Do not go. You are troubled, my friend, and your heart is full of sorrow. One year has passed since you came to Dream Land.
    Tokkori: Ah! There ya are! Hey, next time you run away, tell me where you're goin', would ya? I've been lookin' high and low for ya. Yer girlfriend's plenty steamed at me cause a' you. Come on! Get movin'! Everybody in Cappy Town's goin' crazy worryin', so come on back home!
    Meta Knight: A whole year has passed. How quickly time flies.
    Escargoon: I didn't know Nightmare Enterprises did catering, too.
    King Dedede: Just wait 'til they get a load of the icing on this cake. [both he and Escargoon laugh]
    Tiff: I'm sorry, Kirby. We didn't play with ya because we didn't want to ruin the surprise for ya. We wouldn't want to hurt you for anything, Kirby.
    Chef Kawasaki: Wow! Even I couldn't get a cake to raise that high.
    King Dedede: They outdone themselves. I've heard of pretty girls poppin' outta cakes, but this is even better!
    Tiff: That's new.
    Tuff: What mode is that, Meta Knight?
    Meta Knight: He is now Bomb Kirby.
    Tiff & Tuff: Bomb Kirby?
    Meta Knight: You have indeed grown in many ways this year. I cannot wait to see what changes next year brings.
    Tiff: Happy first anniversary, Kirby. We're all very happy that you came to Dream Land. Kirby, we love you.
    Chef Kawasaki: I've never seen such a beautiful fireworks display. What a party!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Yes.
    Chief Bookem: Those two are havin' a blast.

### Air-Ride-in-Style - Part I [2.24]

    King Dedede: I've been real patient with you, but I want me a monster that can whup Kirby now!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I understand your disappointment, Big D, but I've been sending you top-of-the-line monsters all along.
    King Dedede: Well the bottom line is, them lamos was losers!
    Escargoon: That's right! His majesty may be a big fat meathead, but how many half-baked freakazoids are you gonna send me?!
    King Dedede: [bops Escargoon] I'll do the complainin' here.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Maybe you've been going about stopping Kirby the wrong way. Have you ever thought about-
    King Dedede: I ain't interested in thinkin'! I know everything there is to know about catchin' Kirby already.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I was only going to remind your fly-ness about Kirby's secret weapon.
    King Dedede: Say what?
    Escargoon: Secret weapon?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laughs] I'm referring of course to Kirby's shining star; the Warp Star.
    King Dedede: The Warp Star?
    Escargoon: That's what that Tiff always calls out.
    King Dedede: Yeah. The big ol' thing comes flying to rescue Kirby.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laughs again] See what a little thing he can do... [Dedede pelts his monitor with an egg, surprising him]
    King Dedede: Just kill the dip-strip and get to the point.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: As I was about to say, Sire, if Kirby didn't have the Warp Star to come to his rescue, Kirby would be easy to get rid of.
    King Dedede: Hey, that's it! If we can stop the Warp Star, we can stop Kirby! Hah!
    Sir Ebrum: Good day, Your Majesty.
    Lady Like: You most certainly startled us.
    Tiff: You better not be here for Kirby.
    Escargoon: [laughs] We're not here for the little hog.
    King Dedede: We here for the big mouth!
    Tiff: Huh? [The limousine use a grab nabber to nab her]
    Tuff: You can't do that!
    Lady Like: Tiff, no!
    [Dedede and Escargoon stuff Tiff into their limo and drive away with her, they laughing]
    Tuff: [chases Dedede's limousine alongside Kirby, Fololo & Falala] COME BACK!
    Fololo: HEY!
    Tuff: YOU DIRTY CROOK!!!
    Sir Ebrum: How dare he! That blaggard has kidnapped our daughter!
    Lady Like: We have to get her back somehow!
    [At the dungeon]
    King Dedede: Lookie here, girly. You can have yourself all of these sweety cakes and creamy puffs compliments of yo kingly ol' friend Dedede.
    Escargoon: That's right, I'll you gotta do is cooperate. Here, have a cupcake.
    Tiff: I wouldn't touch your cruddy cupcake. Now you better untie me and let me go right now. RIGHT NOW!
    Escargoon: Oh, we'll let you go soon enough.
    King Dedede: Just say those magic words!
    Tiff: What magic words?
    Escargoon: The ones you say whenever that pesky pinky is in a pickle.
    Both: Kabu.
    King Dedede: Warp Star!
    [Both laughing]
    King Dedede: Now all you gotta do is say it. And if you don't say it, we gonna keep you tied up not too tight till you do, got it?
    Tiff: Hmph.
    Escargoon: Yeah! Tell us where he's hidin' that Warp Star!
    Tiff: I'm not gotta tell you and you two anything.
    Tuff: [offscreen] Hey, Tiff!
    All: Huh?
    Tuff: Let's go!
    Tiff: What are you doing here?
    Escargoon: Look, it's the little brother to the rescue. Ain't that nauseating?
    King Dedede: Get lost. We tryin' to find out where Kirby's Warp Star's at.
    Tuff: Uh... that's easy. The Warp Star's inside Kabu.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    [Dedede, Escargoon, and Tiff all react in shock and Tuff, having realized what he just said, covers his mouth, and then Dedede and Escargoon burst out laughing and then run off to Kabu]
    Tuff: [untying Tiff] Sorry. It just slipped out.
    Tiff: Some secret keeper. [sighs]
    Tuff: Hurry!
    Tiff: Luckily, we don't have to hurry.
    [Kirby starts eating the food Dedede and Escargoon had out on the table while interrogating Tiff]
    Tuff: But what if they find it somehow?
    Tiff: Even if Dedede and Escargoon found the Warp Star, it wouldn't do them any good.
    Tuff: Huh?
    Tiff: Because they don't understand the power of the Warp Star like I do.
    [Tiff flashes back to the events of Dark and Stormy Knight, where she revealed to Meta Knight that she brought the Warp Star to Kabu to keep it safe and secret, and called upon it to aid Kirby during his fight against Kracko]
    Tuff: I remember all that, too. But I wanna know where you got the idea to hide the Warp Star inside Kabu.
    Tiff: Well that was easy. I remember the first time I saw it.
    [Tiff flashes back to when she and Prof. Curio first discovered the Warp Star's pedestal inside Kabu]
    Prof. Curio: Look! I've never seen that.
    Tiff: [narrating] It was like it was made for the Warp Star. It had to stay with Kabu.
    [flashback ends]
    Tuff: It sure is weird. [about the Warp Star's pedestal] But the Warp Star fits inside it so perfect, especially since Kabu's been around for millions of years.
    Tiff: Of course it's weird. Everything about Kabu is weird.
    King Dedede: Alright Kabu, I'm gonna ask ya one last time. Now is you or is you ain't hidin' Kirby's Warp Star? (Kabu doesn't respond)
    Escargoon: Alright, Mr. Frozen Face, now you're gonna get it!
    Waddle Doo: Attack! [the Waddle Dees throw their spears at Kabu, but they simply bounce off him without any effect on him]
    King Dedede: Escargoon! I want that freaky tiki in jail!
    Escargoon: In jail?
    King Dedede: Waddle Doo! Throw Kabu in the dungeon, you hear?
    Waddle Doo: Dungeon?! But Your Majesty, I don't have the Waddle Dee power. Kabu's too big to move!
    King Dedede: What?
    Escargoon: Believe it or not, he's heavier than you are.
    Tiff: [to Meta Knight] You're not in charge of the Warp Star. I am.
    King Dedede: [laughing] The Wimp Star's high-tailin' it home to Kabu.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Home to Kabu? What do you mean?
    Escargoon: Kabu's been hidin' the Warp Star. Get with the program, pal!
    King Dedede: Them pals thought they was pretty clever.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: This isn't good, D. Better cancel that Kirby farewell party. I'm afraid that Warp Star's gonna be back in tip top shape in no time.
    King Dedede and Escargoon: [In horror] Huh?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Kabu's sort of a hospital for Warp Stars and wounded Star Warriors... Like a big recovery room.
    King Dedede & Escargoon: RECOVERY?!?!?!
    Tiff: Kabu, what are we gonna do? The Warp Star's damaged.
    Kabu: The Warp Star will need time to recover.
    Kirby: [sadly] Po-poyo, po...
    Tiff: Kirby, Kabu says the Warp Star's tired right now. The only thing we can do is wait for the Warp Star to get better again.
    Kirby: Poyo...

### Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II [2.25]

    Escargoon: [after watching the Formula Star Rider's defeat] I'd say that guy's a formula for disaster.
    King Dedede: I ain't worried none. We still got three more left here. [laughing] Kirby just got lucky that time, that's all.
    King Dedede: Hey, what's he slurpin' up all that water for?
    Escargoon: Maybe he ate somethin' salty.
    [Kirby has defeated the Rocket Star Air Rider]
    Tuff: Yeah!
    Tiff: They might be faster, but Kirby's way smarter.
    King Dedede: [after having watched the Winged Star Rider's defeat and angrily growls] These Air Riders is a bust. Whatcha givin' me?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Hold on there, gents. After all, the show's not over yet, now, is it?
    Escargoon: No, but it better have an unhappy ending.
    King Dedede: This last one better do the trick or you in trouble here!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You'll see that Shadow Star's the grand finale.
    Tiff: [about the Winged Star] Wow, Kirby really knows how to fly that thing!
    Meta Knight: A Star Warrior can fly anything.
    Tiff: How'd we get inside Kabu? What happened?
    Tuff: Don't you remember? You and Kirby were flying on the Warp Star and you fell off.
    [Tiff remembers when a blast from a Destraya chipped off a piece of Kirby's Warp Star and knocked both of them off]
    Tuff: We were kind of worried. You and Kirby have been knocked out ever since.
    Tiff: But what about all those flying fighters that were after Kirby?
    Tuff: What flyin' fighters, Tiff?
    Tiff: What do you mean what flying fighters?
    Tuff: There weren't any fighters. We've all been inside waitin' for you guys to wake up.
    Meta Knight: Tiff, did you really see them?
    Tiff: I'm telling you, I saw them, Meta Knight. You don't think I'd lie, do you?
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Kabu: No, Tiff. It was all a dream. A dream that only you and Kirby dreamt.
    Tiff: I don't understand.
    Kabu: Tiff, I sent you and Kirby that dream. I have learned from others like me that eNeMeE has been stealing Air Ride Machines throughout the universe.
    Tiff: But I still don't understand why you would send that dream to Kirby and me.
    Kabu: Kirby must learn to fly not just Warp Stars, but other battle vehicles as well.
    Tiff: Well you should be proud of him. Kirby flew those things like a pro.
    Kirby: Poyo!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Well, it seems Kirby and his Warp Star aren't invincible after all.
    Nightmare: It's only a matter of time before the Warp Star will be ours for the taking. [laughs evilly]

### Scare Tactics - Part I [3.1]

    Tiff: [to Kirby] It must be real hard to play soccer when you're always mistaken for the ball.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: [laughs heartily] How's that? You saw an actual ghost?
    Chief Bookem: From the scream she let out, I'd have to say you're right, Mayor.
    Tuggle: What good's being a kid if you don't have nightmares once in a while?
    [In the mansion; Tiff and Kirby huddle together]
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Tiff: There's nothing to be afraid of, Kirby. You know there's no such thing is ghosts.
    Narrator: Who's behind these sinister spirits, and will Kirby and his friends survive them?! Find out...next time!

### Scare Tactics - Part II [3.2]

    Narrator: In our last episode, Kirby and crew were invited to a spook-out: A chilling contest organized by grown-ups that challenges Cappy kids to survive a night of fright. Setting out into the shadows, our brave contestants began their trek down the path of peril, and soon found themselves flabber-ghosted by a ghoulish surprise. But the courage of Kirby knew no bounds. Our plucky pink hero leapt at every chilling challenge, and soon discovered that fake ghosts can be even more fiendish than real ones. Unknown to the Cappies, King Dedede and Escargoon had taken over the spook-out, and were using it to run their own ghastly games. None of their tricks stopped our three friends, however, as they reached the graveyard where the spook-out prize was buried. Kirby celebrated with a victory dance, but the trio's triumph was short-lived when a sudden storm broke out, catching them by surprise, and forcing them to seek shelter in a mysterious and menacing mansion. As our heroes walked through the door, they didn't realize they were crossing the threshold of terror, and that fearsome forces were lurking in the shadows ready to blow them away or shut them in forever. Now the fear factor's out of control as Kirby and his friends find themselves locked in a real-live horror show!
    Meta Knight: I sense a dangerous force at work here. It must be eNeMeE.
    King Dedede: Uh-oh. Escargoon? Yo! You okay? I done mistook you for a ghost!
    Escargoon: ...How many ghosts take showers?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I was about to rid your kingdom of Kirby once and for all, and you two nearly spoiled it.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: This little bonehead's a real shocker!
    Kirby: Zzzzzzzzz....

### One Crazy Knight [3.3]

    Sir Gallant: Greetings, peasants! I am Sir Gallant, and I have been greatly moved by your plight and by the courage that you have shown in the face of such monstrous enslavement. But fear not. The end of your oppression is at hand!
    Sir Gallant: [to Windwhipper] So, we meet again. You bested me last time, but this time I will prevail!
    Mabel: It is up to you to fight for justice everywhere.

### Sweet & Sour Puss [3.4]

    [In the morning, at the Castle]
    Escargoon: Dedede's a rotten boss to work for. That I can't deny. He yells and screams and criticizes, no matter how I try. I deserve a raise, but the king refuses. All I ever get are bumps and bruises! He's a grouch. He's a grump. But I stay. Maybe I'll be king one day.
    [King Dedede suddenly looms over Escargoon, but something about the former seems different; he's acting much nicer and more patient than normal]
    King Dedede: So, I'm a grouch and a grump and a rotten boss, huh?
    Escargoon: [Blushes nervously] I wasn't talking about you. It was a different tyrant.
    King Dedede: That's okay.
    Escargoon: Ah! [Exclaims] Look out! [He accidentally dumps the roses with a vase on King Dedede and whimpering. Dedede pull the vase off his head, Escargoon dreaming about to get clobbered by Dedede] Please don't clobber me.
    King Dedede: [Chuckles] I sure won't.
    Escargoon: Huh? You mean you're not gonna mash me with your mallet?
    King Dedede: No, I forgive you.
    Escargoon: Huh? You do? I wonder if I still dreaming. [thuds and Dedede walks away] He's acting like he traded personalities with a teddy bear. Must be a ruse to get my guard down. [Dedede returns with a mop] I knew it! [Dedede cleans up the mess on the floor with the mop] Huh? [Dedede still cleaning] You can't trick me by pretending that you're not angry. I know you're planning to mop the floor with me.
    King Dedede: I ain't angry with you.
    Escargoon: Please don't torture me this way!!
    King Dedede: Let's let bygones be bygones!
    Escargoon: It's hard to believe but, maybe he means it. [His eyes become bright with emotion, exclaims in happily] Sire!
    King Dedede: Escargoon.
    Escargoon: [He snatches the broom away from him and becomes serious again] There's no way I'm falling for that gag. You fooled me too many times. [He gives Dedede an elbow that makes him step back until he steps on the rose thorns; Dedede jumps in pain and then slips in the wet and falls to the ground as a vase falls on his head] Oh boy! I'm in for in now!
    King Dedede: [a bump appears on his forehead] Why'd you push me?
    Escargoon: [Whimpers, throwing himself to the ground to avoid the blows] I'm sorry!
    King Dedede: [getting up again] That's okay.
    Escargoon: [screams in shocked and Dedede laughs. He kneels before Dedede with a desperate look] That's it! I give up! Sire, please stop acting like you don't want to get even with me? [cries]
    King Dedede: [placing a hand on Escargoon's head] I just want us to be friends.
    Escargoon: [screams in horror] OH NO!!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!! [cries again]
    Escargoon: That Dr. Yabui is full of hooey!
    King Dedede: Why can't we all just be friends?
    Tiff: This hallway needs a traffic light.
    Tuff: Isn't anybody normal around here?
    King Dedede: [Togeira, inside his head, has just stored enough of his anger and now unleashes it into an explosive flaming rage from within him, causing him to let loose a rage-filled roar to everyone's horror while causing Escargoon whimpering at the same time] Now it's payback time!
    Tuff: No more Mr. Nice Guy.
    Kirby: Poyo! Po, poy!
    Tiff: He's back to his old self.
    Meta Knight: No, the monster is still controlling him.
    King Dedede: Alright Escargoon, who's been beating on me!?
    Escargoon: [yells in panic, then laughs nervously and afterwards throws Dedede's hammer to Kirby] Uh, Kirby!
    Kirby: Poy! [Dedede grabs his hammer back from him] Po, poyo? Po...
    King Dedede: WELL NOW I'M GONNA POUND YOU 'TIL YOU'RE FLAT AS A FLAPPYJACK!!!
    Tuff: Whoa, that monster's super mad!
    [Kirby and friends laugh at each other]
    Kirby: Poyo, poyo! Poyo, poyo!

### Dedede's Pet Threat [3.5]

    King Dedede: Aww... Ain't my new Scarfy-poos sweet, Escargoonie-goon?
    Escargoon: Yeah, I suppose they're kind of sweet. The kind of sweet that makes you barf.
    Tokkori: What's the matter? Ain't I tasty enough?
    Tiff: There's something wrong with that Scarfy food!
    Tuff: It's turned them all into monsters!
    Meta Knight: NME. I should've known!

### A Half-Baked Battle [3.6]

    [Kirby laughs at King Dedede]
    [Tokkori laughing]
    Escargoon: Get a load of that!
    [Buttercup and Chief Bookem laughing]
    Escargoon: Let's show an instant replay! [laughs]
    [Prof. Curio laughing]
    Escargoon: Here it is from another angle! [laughs]
    [Tuggle & Gus laughing, Escargoon laughs even harder, Chef Kawasaki, Gengu and two other Cappies laughing]
    Escargoon: I gotta see this again! Roll it in slow-mo this time! [A slow-mo of King Dedede getting hit by the pie is shown on TV, laughs]
    [Iro & his parents laughing]
    King Dedede: I'm through with that chef show! I want some good grub and all I get is a pie in the eye!
    King Dedede: [overhears Tiff's family laughing at him getting hit with a pie] Hey, what's so funny? [the family stops laughing for a few seconds, and then starts laughing again]
    Sir Ebrum: You're quite the comedian, your majesty!
    Tiff: A cream pie in the face... now that's a classic! [She and Sir Ebrum start laughing again while Dedede growls angrily]
    Escargoon: Slowing down the tape for a moment, we clearly see the stunned expression on the king's face as he is unexpectedly pie-pummeled. [laughs at the repeats twice]
    Lady Like: You also made my family scream many times in the past, your majesty. But now it's screaming with laughter!
    Tuff: It's funnier every time they show it! [Dedede growls again before running out of the living room]
    Dedede: I'm replacing it with a brand new show. It's one of them reality programs... called Pie Justice!
    Tiff: Dedede! Pie throwing isn't just a waste of time. It's also a waste of food! You should be ashamed of yourself.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Here's a little get well present for ya, D-Man! We heard you had a serious case of pie-arrhea!
    Escargoon: Now listen up! His Highness is declaring a new law!
    King Dedede: From now on, anybody in this here kingdom who says the word "poyo" is gonna be found guilty of treason!
    Kirby: Poyo?
    King Dedede: AH! Y'all heard that trash-talkin' traitor!
    Tiff: Why don't you suck it up!? [tastes the unknown custard] UUUUUGGGHHH!!!
    Escargoon: Bellybuster must make his pies in a barber shop. They taste like shaving cream, except worse.
    Tiff: Kirby, suck it up!
    Kirby: [covers his mouth and shakes his head no]
    Tiff: [gasps]
    Tuff: Not even Kirby could eat anything that bad.
    Chef Kawasaki: Somebody cooks worse than me! [laughs heartily]
    Meta Knight: I feel... dirty. [Sigh]
    Meta Knight: Here comes the custard!
    Tiff: What's happening?!
    Meta Knight: Bellybuster has swallowed them and they will now be... digested.
    Tiff: NO!

### eNeMeE Elementary [3.7]

    Tuff: [Singing] When old King Dedede came to town, he got off his throne and his pants fell down.
    Spikehead: [Singing] He thinks he's a king, but he's really a clown.
    Honey: [Singing] When Dedede came to town!
    Tuff, Iro, Spikehead & Honey: [Singing] When old King Dedede starts to roar, you never heard anything like it before.
    Kirby: Poyo, Poyo!
    Tuff, Iro, Spikehead & Honey: [Singing] Unless of course, you heard him snore, then Dedede starts to roar! [Laughing]
    Escagoon: [Laughing] That's you, sire.
    King Dedede: They're making a monkey out of me!
    Escargoon: Oh, you've got to admit, it is pretty funny, sire. (laughing again) Huh? (sees his own drawing) I'll sue those little punks!
    Tuff: How come we have to wear these goofy-looking robes?
    King Dedede: 'Cause I'm the one selling them, that's why!
    King Dedede: Must be the spirit of creativitude taking over!
    Tiff: [being possessed by the demon hat] Listen up you rowdy bunch of hooligans! [To Kirby] If you think you can get away with that kind of behavior in my class, You've Got Another Thing Comin'!
    King Dedede: [cries] Them ruffians ain't never gonna learn no manners! [continues crying]

### The Meal Moocher [3.8]

    King Dedede: [He starts to shake and hold the menu in the air, everyone backs away as he tears the menu in half] I WANT NEW FOOD AND I WANT IT NOW!!
    Hana: [to Kirby] You came just in time! I'm about to serve dinner. Would you like to come join us?
    Escargoon: Just look at 'im! That pink pan-handler hustled three dinners out of those Cappies in one night!
    Sir Ebrum: [about the idea of winning money through a meal] That's interesting.
    Lady Like: It would be nice to win that money.
    Sir Ebrum: Oh dear, we're above that sort of thing.
    King Dedede: [laughing] Just remember, I like king-sized portions!
    Buttercup: Oh, we'll begin with the miso soup! It's from an old Japanese recipe I found. The second course will be sushi! There are twelve different varieties! We also have a medley of spring vegetables - many from outside Dream Land - all steamed to perfection and sprinkled with the special egg soy sauce! Next, comes a new dish I just invented: turkey tempura! There's also a special treat: broiled eel and onions! Those are just the appetizers! Now, for the main course!
    Escargoon: [thinking] This is trouble. I gotta stop the king from giving them a five-star rating, or our bank accounts is going belly-up!
    Buttercup: My crab has been sabotaged! I demand to see an instant replay just before the main course!
    King Dedede: [he grabs Escargoon's goatee] HEY! What's the idea torchin' my tongue!?
    Escargoon: Sorry, Sire. But I had to act quick cause you can't afford to pay out any more prize money!
    King Dedede: Let's see how you like you red pepper, You double-dealin' spice sneakin' slug, here!?
    King Dedede: I done decided that I don't feel like dinin' on crab no more. 'Specially when it's bigger than me. But you can go on ahead and eat it yourself if you want to.
    Tiff: Not even Kirby gets hungry enough to gobble up a giant monster for dinner. [laughs with everybody until Kirby gets ready to inhale the crab he just cooked, much to their shock] Kirby! NOOO!!!

### Crusade for the Blade [3.9]

    Tuff: Wow, Kirby sure cleaned his plates.
    Lady Like: With Kirby around, who needs a dishwasher?
    Sir Ebrum: I say every home should have a Kirby.
    Tiff: It's gettin' kinda late, Kirby. Why don't you sleep at our house tonight?
    Kirby: Poyo, poyo!
    King Dedede: [yawns] I ain't seen no flyin' saucers here. I just wanna go back to bed.
    Escargoon: Sure. And wake up with an alien for a neighbor.
    King Dedede: Then an alien for a neighbor for them no-town Cappies.
    King Dedede: Escargoon, I oughtta have yer license revoked.
    Escargoon: Whatever.
    Sword Knight: Forget it. It was probably just a shooting star.
    Meta Knight: Hmmm. [notices King Dedede's wrecked limo] I do not think a shooting star could do that.
    King Dedede: Wake up, y'all! We got an emergency! Close up them gates and head for your battle stations! We got a war on here! Hey Meta Knight! Get the lead out, you helmet head! Do some defendin' or somethin'!
    Escargoon: Yeah, what do we hardly pay ya for, anyway?
    Meta Knight: Sword, Blade. Let's go!
    Sword Knight: Yeah.
    Blade Knight: Aye.
    Sirica: Meta Knight!
    [Meta Knight looks up to see Sirica on a level higher than the one he's standing on]
    Sirica: It's been a very long time.
    Meta Knight: You speak as if we have met. Have we?
    Sirica: So you don't remember? My mother was the Star Warrior Garlude!
    [Meta Knight gasps in realization that Sirica is Garlude's daughter, just before Sirica starts opening fire on him and his knights with her machine gun]
    Tiff: Who are you?
    Sirica: My name is Sirica.
    Tiff: Why are you after Meta Knight?
    Sirica: He has something that is very precious to me. His sword: Galaxia.
    Tiff: Galaxia?
    Tuff: You mean Meta Knight's sword has a name?
    Kirby: Poyo?
    Tiff: This is ridiculous! Meta Knight's a great Star Warrior, not a thief like you.
    Sirica: Hmph. Meta Knight inspires great loyalty, for someone so heartless.
    [Kirby and the kids gasp at what Sirica just said]
    Tuff: What do you mean?!
    Sirica: Your friend Meta Knight was an enemy of my mother. [begins flashback, in her mind] It was many many, years ago. My mother Garlude was considered the greatest of all Star Warriors. She and Meta Knight had been chosen among many noble warriors to reclaim the sacred sword, Galaxia, which had been stolen by the evil beast: Kirisakin. They began to battle the great monster. Both were brave and fought valiantly, but in the end, the beast proved too strong for Garlude. Just as she was reclaiming the sword, she was overpowered! Meta Knight stood and watched as my mother lost the battle. He stole the sword and fled, leaving my mother to perish... alone. [ends flashback]
    Tiff: That didn't happen! Get out, you liar!
    Tuff: That's right! Meta Knight would never do somethin' like that.
    Sirica: I speak the truth. He abandoned my mother and stole Galaxia.
    Meta Knight: That is what you say. [appears behind Sirica, with Blade and Sword following immediately after]
    Sirica: Let's settle this.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Hey. What up, Triple D?
    King Dedede: I need me a monster, and make it quick! I got an alien after me!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Did you say alien?
    Escargoon: What're you waitin' for? Tell him how she attacked the castle!
    King Dedede: How can I tell 'im while you're flappin' yer lips?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Simmer down, boys. Now, tell me more about this alien.
    Escargoon: She's a little girl with a big ol' gun and a whole lot of attitude!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Very interesting. If this space girl is as tough as you say she is, I think I better send the "big guy". [sends Kirisakin to King Dedede and Escargoon as it roars and clashes its two scythes over its head]
    King Dedede: Now that's a monster!
    Escargoon: I think I'm gonna faint.
    Tiff: Don't worry, Meta Knight. You're gonna be good as new.
    Meta Knight: I am grateful for your help, Tiff.
    [beat]
    Tiff: Meta Knight, tell me. You didn't really steal that Galaxia sword, did you?
    Meta Knight: No. I did not.
    Tiff: You would never do something like that. Maybe you should tell her the truth.
    Meta Knight: Nothing I say will change her mind, I am afraid.
    Tiff: But Meta Knight, how are we gonna convince her that you're innocent?
    Meta Knight: My sword knows I'm innocent.
    Tiff: [sighs] A lot of good that does. After all, it's not as if your sword can talk or anything.
    Meta Knight: We must speak with Kabu. He will explain things to you.
    Kabu: I, Kabu, the All-Knowing, shall show you.
    [Kabu shows Meta Knight and Tiff a vision of the past detailing Galaxia's history]
    Kabu: Let us travel back into a time long-forgotten. Thousands of years ago, when the universe was young, Photron, the mighty ruler of the fire people, began to forge a great sword. He called this sword Galaxia. This was no ordinary sword, for it was created with a will and life of its own, and glistened with great mystical powers. eNeMeE sent the monster Kirisakin to steal the Galaxia sword. It was hidden in a dark cave and the great beast guarded it for years. Much time passed. Meta Knight and Garlude found themselves in the cave of Kirisakin. The mighty warriors had been sent to retrieve the sacred sword. Meta Knight saved Galaxia, and the evil empire of eNeMeE no longer possessed the power to control the universe. [the vision ends]
    Tiff: I didn't know your sword was so powerful. But there's one thing that still bothers me. What really happened to Garlude?
    Blade Knight: Ssh. [mumbling]
    [Tuff and Kirby come running to Kabu with the bag of medicine in hand]
    Sword Knight: Tuff!
    Blade Knight: [mumbling] Kirby.
    Tuff: [hands Tiff the bag of medicine] Here it is.
    Tiff: Great! This'll make you feel much better, Meta Knight.
    Meta Knight: Thank you, my friends.
    Sirica: So this is where you are hiding!
    [everyone looks up to find Sirica standing at the top of the stairs]
    Tiff: Sirica.
    Tuff: No way. She must've followed us here.
    Sirica: That sword is mine! Now you will pay. [opens fire upon everyone, who all move out of the way to dodge the machine gun rounds]
    Meta Knight: Only those who possess the power may claim the Galaxia sword as their own. Those who are not chosen will only bring evil upon themselves.
    Sirica: [having heard a familiar lion-esque roar and seen Kirisakin making its way to Kabu] This can't be... it's Kirisakin, the great monster.
    Meta Knight: Kirisakin is coming to reclaim the sword. We must stop it!
    Galaxia: [after Sirica tries to pry it from the ground a second time] My name is Galaxia. Only the most powerful of knights may wield my ancient magic. Meta Knight is the chosen one. Your mother Garlude knew well this truth. [begins flashback to how Garlude sacrificed herself to deliver Galaxia to Meta Knight] In sacrificing her life, Garlude made the ultimate sacrifice.
    [Garlude manages to pry Galaxia from its pedestal and throws it to Meta Knight before Kirisakin delivers the killing blow to her from behind. Meta Knight claims Galaxia and leaps at Kirisakin to fight it. End flashback]
    Sirica: If my mother gave her life, then I shall too. [yells in might as she finally successfully pries Galaxia from the ground]
    Sirica: Galaxia... Now I know my mother remained a true warrior to the end.
    Meta Knight: Sirica. She would have been very proud of you.
    Tiff: Well, Meta Knight, she really was a great warrior.

### Fitness Fiend [3.10]

    King Dedede: [Surrounded by potato chip bags] Y'know, there's jus' somthin' about sittin' in front o' the TV all day long that gives me the nibblies!
    Escargoon: Just look at this mess! Where do you expect me to put all these soggy sacks?
    King Dedede: This looks like a good place! [Shoves an empty bag onto Escargoon's head]
    Escargoon: You know, you're a real couch potato. You're as big as a couch and you're full of potatoes.
    Escargoon: Hey! You're a doctor, not a detective! Mind your own business, Yabui!
    Meta Knight: He has fallen, and cannot get up!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Hey, what up, D?
    King Dedede: Zip yer layer!
    Escargoon: Your chips made his majesty a travesty!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: It's not our fault he can't control his appetite! We made those snacks to fatten up Kirby, not you, sire.
    King Dedede: Why'd ya have to go and make 'em so delicious?! Nobody can resist those things! THEY'S TOO DANG TASTY!!!!
    Max Flexer: Treadmills are a lot of fun. You'll survive 'em if you run! Get it going really fast, or this race will be your last!
    King Dedede: If dinner's in, I'm out.
    Tiff: [after Kirby has transformed into Mike Kirby] Oh no! I forgot how terrible Microphone Kirby's singing is!

### Mabel Turns the Tables [3.11]

    Mayor Len Blustergas: [about Curio's fortune] He must have picked the stone! NO!!
    Tiff: I know what you're doing. Samo, you should be ashamed of yourself!
    Lady Like: My husband's prime minister!
    Escargoon: Your husband's unemployed, Blondie!
    Escargoon: I suppose the royal golf course is a bust?
    Mabel: You said it, not I.

### Something to Sneeze At [3.12]

    Escargoon: Ah...ah...ah...ah...AH-CHOO!!!
    King Dedede: [grunts] You sprayed me! Now what was that for!?
    King Dedede: HEY, YOU, META KNIGHT! Whadda' you know about all the sneezin' and wheezin' that's goin' round' here?
    [Meta Knight coughs and runs off]
    King Dedede: Even Meta Knight got a cold!
    Escargoon: Maybe this cold bug only infects intelligent life forms.
    King Dedede: What did you say?
    Escargoon: Oh, that's right. You didn't catch it either. I wonder what that fact would imply.
    King Dedede: Are you saying I'm a brainless as they are?
    Escargoon: Of course not. It must be something else you have in common.
    King Dedede: Oh really? Like what?
    Escargoon: Well, I don't know, Sire. Maybe it's just a.....personality thing.
    King Dedede: Hmm. What's that supposed to mean?
    Kirby: Ahh..ahh.ahhhh.... CHOO!!
    King Dedede: I turned myself into an ice cube and I still ain't sick. What am I doing wrong!?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Maybe you're too warm-hearted.

    King Dedede: Please, please, I beg you!
    Escargoon: We promise we'll never cheat again!
    [Waddle Doo laughs mischievously as he lights the fuse, launching the two into the air alongside the fireworks where they get caught in their explosions]
    King Dedede: What kind of prize is this 'ere?!
    Escargoon: It looks like we're startin' the new year off with a bang!
    [King Dedede and Escargoon get launched back into the air and caught in even more fireworks explosions, including a Kirby-shaped one, as the citizens of Dream Land happily watch]
    Tiff: Well, it's starting to look like a Happy New Year already.
    Kirby: [jumps happily into the air] Poyo!

### Masher 2.0 [3.14]

    Lady Like: [sees Tuff's soccer ball] Tuff, you know better. Take this ball outside.
    Tuff: [about the outside storm] Out there? [cue booming thunder sounds, startling Kirby and the kids]
    Sir Ebrum: The weather's taken a nasty turn.
    Tiff: I've never seen lightning this bad.
    Tuff: Meta Knight. There's a monster chasing him, isn't there?
    Sword Knight: Big trouble's headed our way.
    Knuckle Joe: I ain't sure how, but Masher's been rebuilt. And now it's out for revenge.
    Knuckle Joe: [to Masher 2.0] You're a lot stronger than me, that's for sure. But you've got a bucket of bolts for a brain! [Masher approaches] Get ready to rock! [punches the rock he's standing on, causing it to shatter]
    Escargoon: [to King Dedede] Socked by a soccer ball. Your first sports injury!
    Tuff: [gives Knuckle Joe the power amplifier] Here, Joe! This'll help you beat Masher!

### The Chill Factor [3.15]

    King Dedede: What?! You blamin' this here weather on me!?
    Escargoon: You two brats need to take a chill pill!
    Tuff: Don't act innocent! How come it got so cold all of a sudden?
    Tiff: I bet you ordered another freeze monster!
    Escargoon: Oh, is that so? [As he shows a "Notice" bill sign] Guess again!
    Tiff: Huh? "Due to late charges on your account, until further notice, you can no longer order any monsters"?
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Tuff: Ha! Maybe you better start paying your bills.
    Escargoon: We don't need advice from a pipsqueak like you!
    King Dedede: I can pay them bills any time I want to. Only I don't want to!
    [Both laughing. Dedede sneezes]
    King Dedede: Hmm. What's all that jabba join' about down there?
    Escargoon: There those drippy Cappies are rollin' out the welcome wagon for those creepy Pengy.
    King Dedede: Well I want to meet him too. Hey, Waddle Doo!
    Waddle Doo: You pardon me, Your Majesty, but I got some bad news for ya. See, the rest of the guys [cut to the scene where The Waddle Dees huddle close to the oven for warmth] ain't handlin' this cold so good, and they're all sick.
    King Dedede: THEY'RE ALL FIRED!
    Pengy: It is the Pengys' fate to wander far and wide. We are very weary but happy to have stumbled upon your chilly village. We would like to rest here for a while if you will have us.
    [Kirby and the kids have found a giant air conditioner that's been spewing cold air into the sky, discovering the source of the second wave of Winter weather in Dream Land]
    Tuff: Hey Tiff, what is that thing?
    Kirby: Poyo?
    Tiff: Now it all makes sense.
    Tuff & Kirby: Huh?
    Tiff: The Pengy tribe brought this here on purpose, and it's so powerful that it turned our summer into winter.
    Tuff: Yeah, but why?
    Kirby: Poyo...
    [suddenly, the trio hears a familiar voice. It's Pengy]
    Pengy: So, it looks as though our young friends have discovered our secret. [laughs as the trio turns around to see him and his guards ambush them and surround them with their spears]
    Tiff: Pengy!
    [Tuff gasps in horror]
    Kirby: Poyo!
    King Dedede: WHO DID THAT?!
    Escargoon: I think they did that, Sire.
    Pengy: [laughs] Your reign is through, King Dede-dumb! We're in charge.
    [King Dedede and Escargoon are forced to mop up the castle by the new guards]
    Pengy guard: Hey, you! Watch it, will ya?!
    Escargoon: We're very sorry, Mister guard sir.
    Pengy guard: Yeah. [As he walk away and door closes]
    King Dedede: [Growls in enrage and he hitting a bucket with a mop] HOW DARE THEY PUT ME IN A MOP DUTY!? [He breaks a mop]
    Escargoon: Chin up, Kirby will find us, Sire, he just has to.
    King Dedede: That little pink pest ain't so bad after all. I oughta ease up on that little meatball.
    Escargoon: [Sighs] If only he were here.
    King Dedede: Mmm-hmm.
    Pengy: [laughs] More ice. How thoughtful of you, Kirby!
    Meta Knight: This is going to get frosty!
    Kirby: [Singing] Payao puh poyo pay ya pa poyo poyo payo pay, poyo!
    Tiff: Even though they shouldn't have done what they did, they have a point.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Escargoon: Delightful. This weather simply perfect, Sire. Not too cool and not too hot.
    King Dedede: And all we got to do to keep it that way is flip a few switches.
    [Both laugh until Tiff, Tuff, and Kirby pour water on them and knock their electric fans over]
    King Dedede: HEY! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!?
    Escargoon: You brats could have electrocuted me!
    Tiff: The Pengy were right. So starting today we're conserving energy.
    [Kirby proceeds to soak in a small tub, Tiff and Tuff laugh. The episode ends]

### The School Scam [3.16]

    King Dedede: A while back, we celebrated the inauguration of Dream Land's first school: the Dedede Academy. It was dedicated to the noble cause of making all the kiddies behave right. With a little help from Nightmare Enterprises, the school was up and runnin', with lots of classic classes like: how to pitch a pipsqueak, and advanced sledge-hammin'! Things really got rollin' once we got our schoolyard set up. Them brats had loads of fun when I combined gym and detention into one theory. But it all blew up in my face, thanks to that killjoy, Kirby! No matter what I do, that little pink runt wrecks everything! [cries]
    Kirk: I sure hope our new school's built better than this dump!
    Smirk: There ain't no one to stop us, so we can teach all we want!
    Kirk: [as Tiff enters the classroom] What are you doing here?
    Dirk: You got expelled from school.
    Smirk: And we did the expellin'.
    Tiff: I'm taking charge here and you're taking a hike. [Kirby, Tuff, and the Cappy kids are surprised]
    Dirk: You don't count so good for a math teacher.
    Kirk: It's three against one!
    Tiff: True... But I've got one brain and you three bullies haven't gotten any.
    Smirk: Then let's have a toughness test!
    Tiff: That's fine with me.
    Smirk: You ain't such a bad brawler for a teacher. Too bad I gotta clobber ya.
    Tiff: I hope you like to travel, because I'm gonna send you packing.
    Tuff: YAY!!!
    Tokkori: HOORAY!!!
    Kirby: POYO!!!
    Kirby, Tuff, and the Cappy kids: [cheering]
    Tiff: No!
    [Kirby, Tuff, and the Cappy kids gasp]
    Tiff: Maybe... but teachers are supposed to solve problems with their heads, not their hands. I wish I could figure out a way to reach even those three guys. To help them see learning's really interesting. When you goof off in school, you could be missing something really great and never even realize it. The most important job of the teacher is to help your students want to learn. It's really sad when you don't succeed. There are so many great things to discover in this world. School gives you the tools that can help you learn. But the most important tool of all is the curiosity inside us. Promise me that you guys will never give up trying to learn new things. Promise! That's... all, I guess.
    MT2: Here we come, Kirby!
    King Dedede: Aaah! School's out!
    Escargoon: We failed again!
    King Dedede: There's always next semester!

### Delivery Dilemma [3.17]

    Escargoon: De-De want his din-din, huh?
    Waddle Doo: Kawasaki's got a brand new delivery service, Your Majesty!
    King Dedede: Why did no one tell me, huh?! [his stomach rumbles]
    Tuff: [brings out a nice hot bowl of ramen] Here, nice hot noodles.
    King Dedede: Hot... noodles...? [steps closer to Tuff, laughing all the while, while quickly recovering from his red eyes of sleeplessness] THEY'S FINALLY HERE!!!
    Escargoon: Thanks, kid. [takes the bowl of ramen before Dedede can grab it]
    King Dedede: Huh? [sees Escargoon eating the ramen and grabs him] You no-good noodle-nabber! [swipes the ramen bowl]
    Escargoon: [swipes his ramen bowl back] Hands off! I just ordered these for myself.
    King Dedede: What's that?!
    Tuff: That's right. He called 10 minutes ago.
    King Dedede: Yeah? Well I ordered me a big bowl of noodles yesterday. [releases Escargoon] I thought mine got here first.
    Tuff: Uh oh. I guess Kirby goofed up after all. Uh, be right back with your order! [runs off back to Restaurant Kawasaki]
    King Dedede: [angrily growls] I should've known it was Kirby, that nasty little pasta poacher! I'm gonna get me my own delivery dude so there ain't no more mess-up!

### Trick or Trek [3.18]

    Tiff: When is everybody gonna learn that we have to treat nature with respect?
    Whispy Woods: Perhaps you can bring tour groups here to help them learn about the forest.
    King Dedede: That's a great idea.
    Escargoon: You're right, Sire. Let's steal it.
    King Dedede: This'll be the perfect way to destroy Whispy Woods and build our golf course.
    Tiff: [about what King Dedede just said] Did he say Eco-tour?
    Tuff: Hey, Tiff! That's your idea!
    Chief Bookem: If it's a survival test, I'm up for it. It might be a good way to stay in shape.
    Escargoon: Okay, Cappies, let's get started! The first thing you need to know about eco-touring is that it's rough stuff, so don't expect to get pampered like a bunch of primaballeroonies! Now everybody grab a backpack and let's get the lead out!
    King Dedede: That there falls is gonna make a whopper of a water hazard.
    Chief Bookem: This eco-tour hikin' isn't any fun at all.
    Tiff: That isn't true. It's even more fun because it's educational.
    Escargoon: [chuckles] I hope she keeps on buggin' everybody. Pretty soon, they'll hate her more than they hate us!
    King Dedede: Yeah, that kid's pricklier than a hive a' hornets.
    [Meanwhile, King Dedede and Escargoon manage to get out of the river, and soon realize they are lost as well]
    King Dedede: Maybe this golf course is just a selfish worthless idea of mine.
    Escargoon: My thoughts exactly.
    King Dedede: [glares at Escargoon] Huh?
    Escargoon: I was just kidding. It's worth it. It's worth it!
    King Dedede: You little liar! [snarls angrily]
    Escargoon: Wait, Majesty! We have more urgent problems! Like being lost in the wilderness without our map!
    King Dedede: Whatcha talkin' about lost!? I don't wanna be lost in these scary woods!
    Escargoon: Join the club, sire.
    [They start crying]
    King Dedede: I'm sorry I yelled at ya.
    Escargoon: I'm sorry you did too.
    [Both continue crying]
    King Dedede: What's the matter?
    Escargoon: Look who's coming this way, sire!
    Escargoon: We have to make sure they see our smoke signal.
    King Dedede: This oughtta do the trick.
    [suddenly, the fire they placed bursts into an even bigger one to their surprise, causing the nearby trees to catch fire much to Escargoon's shock]
    Escargoon: Ah! The whole forest could catch on fire.
    King Dedede: Hey, great idea!
    Escargoon: Huh?
    King Dedede: We gotta clear out Whispy Woods for my golf course and this is the quick, easy way!
    Escargoon: [smiles delightfully in response to Dedede's voiced idea] Your blazin' new trail, Sire!
    King Dedede: And afterwards, there's gonna be a lotta charcoal 'round a useful barbecuein'!
    Escargoon: Let's go! Before we get cooked... [he and Dedede are scared off by the flames, which have now grown bigger and are spreading quickly through the forest, causing a huge forest fire]
    Whispy Woods: I will protect you for as long as I am able.
    Waddle Doo: Hey! Are you down here, Your Highness? Yo, Escargoon! Where are you guys?

### Buccaneer Birdy [3.19]

    Tokkori: Nobody appreciates me. I can't help it if I'm obnoxious. I mean, it's not my fault that I'm superior to everybody else, right?
    Escargoon: Yep! Tokkori's ancestor used to sit perched up on his shoulder which must have been murder on his dry-cleaning bills!
    Tokkori: So now we know I'm a noble. [chews] Guess I'll live with ya here at the castle, huh? [chews] I don't [gulps] mind. [chews] But I warn ya, I can't stand loud snorin' when I'm tryin' to sleep. I bet Blue Boy here snores even louder than Kirby, so ya better keep it quiet or you're gone!
    Tuff: Quit stallin' and hand over Tokkori's treasure now!
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Escargoon: That birdseed brain's out of luck. The king and I are goin' fifty-fifty!
    King Dedede: Fool. I used it all to buy myself more monsters!
    Escargoon: But sire...
    Tiff: I guess Tokkori will always be Tokkori after all.
    Kine: Hey, Tiff! This is a friend of mine, and I asked him to catch these guys for ya!

### A Whale of a Tale [3.20]

    Kine: SUSHI!?!?
    Kirby: Sushi poyo!
    Kine: Hey there, folks! I just heard some bad news from one of my pals down here. Says there's a baby whale that's been reported missing from its mama!
    Tiff: That's a whale! This book says whales are the largest living mammals. They breathe through a blowhole in the top of their heads.
    King Dedede: Now, listen up here, Cappies! We're about to set sail on a whale watchin' cruise. It's free and you get to see real whales!
    Escargoon: Well, he's finally pickin' on someone his own size.
    Tuff: HEY!
    Tiff: What's wrong?
    Tuff: We saw what you're hiding down there. Nets and harpoons and stuff for catching whales!
    Kirby: [angrily] Poyo!
    Tiff: For catching whales?!
    King Dedede: Aww. Guess we've been found out. Escargoon?
    Escargoon: Aye aye, Sire. [presses a button and Dedede's boat reveals its true form as a whaling ship]
    Tiff: This isn't a tour boat. It's a whaling ship!
    King Dedede: [laughing] Time to start whaling!

### Waddle While You Work [3.21]

    Tiff: That's just horrible!
    Chef Kawasaki: What is?
    Tiff: Taking advantage of those poor things!
    Curio: Would you all rather they work for Dedede?
    Tiff: Uh, well...
    Tuff: Hey, Tiff, we never thought about that.
    Gengu: After all, it's not as if we don't treat 'em right!
    Tiff: This is hopeless.
    [Escargoon notices Kirby in the garden of the castle of Dedede, which is where Waddle Dees are going into a machine to be sold and touches Dedede. Escargoon starts to whisper a plan to sell Kirby as a Waddle Dee with most of it being unintelligible. The only words that can be clearly heard are Kirby and something sweet]
    King Dedede: That's a good idea.
    Waddle Doo: Your Highness! Let go of the boy!
    Tiff: He wants Dyna Chick for his dinner!
    King Dedede: That's right, and I ain't givin' up this here bird no way no how!
    King Dedede: I'll get you, Kirby! That's the last time you steal my dinner! YOU CHICKEN THIEF!

### Dedede's Raw Deal [3.22]

    N.M.E. Sales Guy: But D-Man, this is high tech. The equipment costs a fortune!
    King Dedede: This grub tastes grubby.
    Escargoon: Ugh. If you eat fast, you won't notice.
    [Dedede and Escargoon are both finishing eating a bowl of rice. Dedede burps]
    Escargoon: Revolting. [burps]
    Chef Kawasaki: Your Majesty, I could use some financial help.
    King Dedede: [laughs] I bet you want a loan!
    Escargoon: That's an even riskier proposition than eating your food.
    Chef Kawasaki: If I had a little money I could make the restaurant even bigger.
    Escargoon: BUT IT'S EMPTY NOW!
    Tiff: Kawasaki, don't fall for it! [Kawasaki exclaims] Dedede must have something up his sleeve.
    Tuff: And it's not just his arm!
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Escargoon: Why you?! How dare you question His Majesty's integrity!? Why, he's as honest as the day is dark!
    Tiff and Tuff: Huh?
    Escargoon: This looks fabulous. Let's ask some of the local yokels what their relatively worthless opinions are!
    Waddle Doo: This news update was brought to you by DDD's Revolving Sushi Bar!
    Chef Kawasaki: Hold on! Sushi is a very special dish that has a long and proud history. Sushi making is an art! Anybody who uses a robot to make sushi is just selling out for profit. Now... let's get that sushi rolling!
    Tiff: This isn't news, it's a commerci- [hiccups and covers her mouth]
    Chef Kawasaki: This is great, Sire! Soon, I'll be earning a dime a day.
    King Dedede: You'll get a small raise when my investment's paid off. At this rate, that should only take about 10 or 20 years!
    King Dedede: This sushi monster's gonna clobber Kirby!
    Escargoon: Yeah. It sure is well-armed.
    Tiff: Kirby, listen up! [Kirby hiccups] If you don't get rid of those hiccups, you'll never be able to eat again!
    Kirby: [Freaking out] POYO!!!!! [Jumps and spins around to freshen up and his hiccups are gone]
    Chef Kawasaki: Look, Sire. It's raining calamari!
    King Dedede: Great. I'm bankrupt and all I got is a lifetime supply of squid.
    Escargoon: We're broke now! What do we do?
    Chef Kawasaki: That's easy. We can use this squid to make sushi. Right?
    [Dedede and Escargoon cry]

### Caterpillar Thriller [3.23]

    King Dedede: [laughs] Everybody's sick 'cept me!
    Waddle Doo: S'cuse me! Me and the Waddle Dees all got stuffy heads, and that ain't much fun when you're all head like us!
    [Waddle Dees sneezing]
    Escargoon: Yeah, well maybe you feel fine 'cause you have to have somethin' in your head to get a head cold!
    Tiff: If we're all getting allergies this year, that means the pollen's worse than usual! Look! You can even see it!
    Tuff: Maybe there's somebody who's spreading extra pollen around on purpose. [sneezes]
    N.M.E Sales Guy: Actually, there's a special dust that'll do the trick for ya, and there's a monster who can get it for ya free.
    Kirby: Poyo! Poyoy! Ehh...poyye, poyooyo!
    Escargoon: Get it, Kirby! I can't take these sinus allergies anymore. [sneezes]
    Island Sisters: Mosugaba truly wants to live in peace. It is only attacking to set us free. But we can sing to Mosugaba to calm him down.
    King Dedede: Come back here, you! [sneezes] I can't beat Kirby 'less you stay and turn him into a sneezeball! [sneezes]

### Fossil Fools - Part I [3.24]

    Tuff: Looks like Dedede's really into this dinosaur stuff, huh?
    Escargoon: Well what are ya waitin' for, Sire? Steal credit, will ya?
    King Dedede: [laughs] I got me a dinosaur! I s'prised a tyranno-ma-saurus, here! Stronger than a stego-ma-saurus, an apato-ma-saurus, and a verlocirapt-agon! Ain't that right?!
    King Dedede: WHERE ALL THE DINOSAURS AT?!
    Tiff: [reading Dedede's book about dinosaurs] Lots of folks say that dinosaurs is extinct, but I say the proof is in the pictures. [laughing]
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Sorry, D. Dinosaurs have been out of stock for 65 million years.
    Doctor Moro: I'm Doctor Moro. I came to your village when I heard about your great discovery. I've set up a new laboratory at the castle!
    Tiff: I'm not sure if we should, Doctor. I dunno if I'd feel right fooling around with nature like that!
    Escargoon: [screams] Look at that thing!
    King Dedede: Looks kinda familiar!

### Fossil Fools - Part II [3.25]

    King Dedede: [laughs] Escarsaurus sure is a dino wimp, I'd say.
    Escargoon: Give him all you've got, Escarsaurus! Tackle that tub of lard!
    Buttercup: [to Chief Bookem] That dinosaur has your face!
    Mabel: Something about that dinosaur looks familiar.
    Mabel: Have I gone mad, Samo, or did those dinosaurs look just like you and me?
    Samo: They did indeed. But I must admit, I find you much prettier.
    Mabel: I hope so.
    Tiff: That dinosaur looks just like me!
    Tuff: She even has your personality!
    Kirby: Yaaaiie suikaa poyoo!
    Doctor Moro: It would be foolish to destroy my laboratory.
    Chef Kawasaki: Hey, he looks just like me!
    Tuff: It's a Kawasakisaurus!
    Doctor Moro: Thanks to your invaluable tip, Tiff, I have achieved what I believe to be my greatest creation. By using Star Warrior DNA, I have created the ULTIMATE MONSTER!! [evilly laughs and turns into a monster]

## Season 4
### Dedede's Monsterpiece [4.1]

    Escargoon: Majesty, have you forgotten you're supposed to return these paintings in perfect condition?!
    Waddle Doo: After droppin' off your artwork, please note down your name, address, and telephone number in the sign-in book.
    Tiff: This is real art! I've never seen anything so breathtaking before! We have to tell everybody about 'em!
    King Dedede: [points to a huge, cross-eyed version of himself] Right here, that's me. Since I'm what you'd call the star of this here paintin', I'm smack-dab in the middle! You'll note the perspecticles, and I put a big old impressionistic Sun [a red circle with lines coming off it] up there, see? [Points to his small castle, and a huge misshapen-looking Escargoon next to it] Right there is my castle, and right next to it is Escargoon. Note the lack of depth. [points to an awkwardly-angled version of Mayor Len Blustergas with noodle arms and two giant angry Pac-Man-like sheep behind him] This here's the Mayor being chased by his sheep. [points to a misshapen Kirby in the corner of the painting] And this here's Kirby. He's being chased by me! See, I drawed him all lumpy to express his inner lumpiness!
    Kirby: [angrily hopping up and down] POYO! POYOOOO!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Original art can get kinda step there, Big D. One alone could set you back a cool two mil'. Why not just order a monster who could paint for ya?
    King Dedede: Ain't you done yet?
    King Dedede's portrait: What'd you think?
    King Dedede: I'm see a thing! [He runs near the portrait, but the giant portrait of Dedede was materializing to life]
    King Dedede's portrait: I'll show you who's ruler 'round here!
    Meta Knight: Whatever he paints comes to life: even the most dangerous things.

### Right Hand Robot [4.2]

    King Dedede: You must be cleaning this castle with your eye-shut. It's filthy! [He blows the dust at Escargoon]
    Escargoon: [coughing] I dust this dump every day! I can't be a full-time housekeeper and a full-time lackey.
    King Dedede: Well, you better find a way you out of here.
    Escargoon: But sire, I need this rotten job.
    King Dedede: It's time for my massage.
    [Escargoon massaging Dedede on a back, grunting]
    King Dedede: Quit wimpin' out. Pull a little muscle into.
    Escargoon: How's this?
    King Dedede: LOUSY! This is how you give a massage!
    Escargoon: [screaming as Dedede stretching his arms] Uncle! [thuds] That wasn't too relaxing.
    King Dedede: Guess I'll have to pull harder next time. [laying down on a beach lounge chair] Fetch me a toothpick and my monster catalogue.
    [Escargoon scowls]
    King Dedede: [Being serious] What you waiting for!?
    Escargoon: Sorry, Sire. [He scurried]
    King Dedede: My monster catalogue.
    Escargoon: Ugh. I've forgot. [He scurried again]
    King Dedede: Magnifying glasses.
    Escargoon: Sorry, Sire. [He scurried once again] Here.
    King Dedede: I want me a cup of tea.
    Escargoon: [He scurried again once more] Yes, Sire.
    King Dedede: Too cold.
    Escargoon: Right. [He keep scurried]
    King Dedede: Too hot.
    Escargoon: [He scurried slowly, panting] The King's runnin' me ragged here! I wish he'd give me some time off to take a trip! [He tripped on a carpet as the cup of tea spilled on his head, screamed in pain] Hot tea! Hot tea! Hot tea! Hot tea!
    King Dedede: Escargoon!
    Escargoon: His Highness does care about me. Oh, Si..[Getting hitted by Dedede's mallet]
    King Dedede: You spilled tea on my carpet!
    Escargoon: But Sire, I'm bound to make mistakes when you overwork me and don't give me a break.
    King Dedede: Well if you fooled up again I'll give you plenty of breaks from head to toe.
    Escargoon: Hmph! You snail-driver! I'm tired of being harassed, tired of being insulted, and tired of being tired!
    King Dedede: Escargoon! This your pea-brained idea of a joke?!
    Escargoon: No, Sire. I built this robot to make life easier for us both. Escar-droid will be at your command twenty four hours a day!
    King Dedede: That robot was built sturdy, but it only took a day for me to bust its bolts.
    Escar-Droid: MUST. CRUSH. KIRBY.
    Escargoon: I'll get you this time, Kirby!
    Meta Knight: No, you won't! [slides into Escargoon and sends him flying into a tree]
    N.M.E. Salesman: Escargoon's droid has now transformed itself from a peaceful servant robot into a lethal combat robot; fully armed and ready to do battle!
    Escargoon: [warning Dedede] Just don't touch it!
    King Dedede: I hate it when you tell me "Don't". That means I gotta do! [He hits Escargoon with his mallet] Let's see. [He presses the button of Escar-Droid]

### Goin' Bonkers [4.3]

    Bonkers: Look for him.
    Mabel: You want me to tell you Kirby's future?
    Bonkers: Kirby, in here?
    Tokkori: Ha ha! I bet ya Kirby went on a banana-eatin' binge and gobbled up all his food supply!
    King Dedede: What? A gorilla hammering folks on a head?
    Waddle Doo: I heard that if you don't give 'im money or bananas, he gets real mad, and that's when he strikes.
    Escargoon: He sounds like a bill collector which means he'll come here for the nine million we owe N.M.E..
    King Dedede: So how much would nine million be if we pay him in bananas?
    Escargoon: Huh? I don't know the exchange rate for fruit.
    King Dedede: Well, ain't no bullying bill collector gonna knock on my royal noggin'! Throw that gorilla into whose gal!
    Escargoon: Let's hope he doesn't make a chimpanzee out of you. [Getting hitted by Dedede's mallet]
    King Dedede: Hey, Waddle Doo! Go and get that gorilla!
    Waddle Doo: Let's move it!
    Tiff: Kirby's in big trouble if that gorilla can track him down before we do.
    King Dedede: You dog-gone dirty ape!
    Tuff: Yeah! Why would a big gorilla be lookin' for Kirby?
    Bonkers: Me want to train with Kirby.
    Spikehead, Honey, and Iroo: Train with Kirby?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: That's a ridiculous idea. Who ever heard of making a giant gorilla monster?
    Bonkers' keeper: Oh, boy, it's almost time for my favorite show to start. [chuckles] Oh, I love this guy. He's so cute!
    Meta Knight: He was never really a monster. That fall changed him back to his true self.
    Meta Knight: His spirit has proven to be as noble as any Star Warrior's.

### Power Ploy [4.4]

    King Dedede: Why, just last night I was working at my desk burning up the midnight oil!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Did... I just hear you say you were working?
    King Dedede: Yep! I spent hours at my PC!
    Escargoon: And he almost got it turned on, too! [laughs before getting hammered by Dedede]
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Upwardly mobile types like us can easily get worn down. That's why we came up with a new energy-booster drink to keep you going like gangbusters round the clock. It's called Pump Up D!
    Chef Kawasaki: Yeah! I have tons of energy! Ha-haha! I feel like Super Kawasaki! Up and away!
    Cappy patient: Doctor... Isn't there anything you can do? I feel awful all over.
    Dr. Yabui: There's no cure... unless you drink this Pump Up D!
    King Dedede: Yo! Wake up, you slumberheads! Goin' to sleep is for wimps! Let's stay up and party all night long! You snoozers are losers! Upwardly-mobile folks like Yours Truly drink down lots of Pump-Up D to keep ourselves movin' and shakin' twenty five hours a day! From now on, nobody in this here kingdom be drinkin' nothin' but Pump-Up D! Pump-Up D will make ya like me!
    Tiff: Glu-gly-cero-poly-carbo-phosphate. This health drink is totally unhealthy.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Triple D, this snake monster is guaranteed to rattle Kirby.

### A Trashy Tale [4.5]

    Escargoon: I can't tell if this is a throne room or a landfill.
    King Dedede: Hold on, there! That was some perfectly good month old cheesy nachos you just threw out!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: With all due respect, D, what's with making us your trash stash?
    Tuff: Boy, I'm sure gonna be in trouble when I get home later! Hey, Kirby!
    Dr. Yabui: It took me months and months to finish this article!! [growls] WHO DID THIS?!
    Dr. Yabui: I'm messy, eh? Just wait 'til I get my hands on you! I'll show you messy! My paper's ruined!
    Tiff: You don't know the whole story. There's too much stuff in the lost and found in the station, so the Chief's been storing it here.
    Escargoon: This might be the trashiest thing we've ever done.
    Meta Knight: Trash Basher, the garbage monster. This stinks.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Thought it might be a nice gesture. Seeing as you were sweet enough to send us your trash, we thought we'd send you some of ours.
    King Dedede: If Kirby don't eat up Muck-Mouth quick, this whole town gonna be buried under one humongous heap a' slimy slop! [spits] It's downright sickening!
    Tuff: Yeah! We haven't seen Cleaning Kirby in ages!
    Tiff: [To Tuff] Don't laugh, you have to clean your room too!
    [Tuff nervously Laughs]
    Kirby: [while Handing Tuff A Broom] Poyo, Poyo!
    Tuff: Ah boy, what a dirty trick.

### Cooking Up Trouble [4.6]

    Lady Like: I'll be home late, and I won't be able to make dinner for you. So get something from the refrigerator, okay?
    Tiff: Wipe that dopey smirk off your face! To say cooking is womens' work is not only insulting, it's also a big fat lie!
    Sir Ebrum: You're quite right, men can cook too. That's why I'm making dinner tonight.
    Sword Kinght: Blade?
    Blade Knight: Ay?
    Sword Knight: Smells delicious, don't it? Course' anything would smell good compared to Meta knight's cooking!
    [Blade Knight speaks in foreign language]
    Sword Knight: You could say that again!
    Meta Knight: [he enters from behind] Say what again?
    [Sword and Blade turn around surprised]
    Sword Knight: Err... He was saying that your cooking... is beyond compare!
    [Blade Knight responds in foreign language]
    Meta Knight: Hmm...
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Just buy 'em and sell 'em bit by bit and watch 'em all come together. [laughs]
    Kirby: [impatiently pacing] Poyo...poymm....poyo... Poyo!
    Tuff: Ha, ha! Even Blade Knight and Sword Knight are here!
    Tokkori: Phooey, that's one ugly Food Processor! Hope it works.
    King Dedede: And now we gonna cook ya up a heap and helpin' o' trouble!
    Escargoon: You gullible geeks thought you were buyin' food processors, but you were really buyin' parts for our cruel new tool! [laughs]
    Waddle Doo: Hurry up, we start in twenty-minutes!
    Chef Kawasaki: Start with oil, I like my risotto nice and slippery! Add the rice, strawberries, and slowly stir over a medium flame until it's really gloppy! Now, add some grade-A...hey guys?
    Meta Knight: The robot seems to know Kirby's greatest weakness!
    Tiff: Listen everybody! You're going about this thing the wrong way. Those machines can't cook for you because the most important ingredient is missing. You can't make great food unless you use your heart. Cooking isn't about using all the latest technology. Your food will always be mediocre unless you care about what you make.

### Teacher's Threat [4.7]

    King Dedede: Escargoon, I done founded not one but two schools here in Cappy Town. They was phony schools, a'course, set up to get rid a' Kirby. Well even though I deserved a' A for effort, every time I tried to teach that pink fake a lesson, I failed. Them schools was a great idea, but for some reason, they didn't do the job. Kirby's still kickin'! [weeps]
    King Dedede: It's time for me to face the fact that I may need some education.
    Escargoon: Education won't help you. The mind's only a terrible thing to waste if you have one.
    King Dedede: I'm gonna go to school and get me some learnin' so's I can finally figure out a way to outsmart Kirby!
    N.M.E. Salesman: I'd be happy to send a whole new set-up, D, but you still haven't paid me for the last one I sent.
    Tokkori: What are you brats gonna learn standing out here in the rain? How to get soggy?
    Honey: Look everybody! The Sun's out!
    Mr. Chip: I'm Mr. Chip, and I'm a teacher.
    Tuff: But you're a king. Why would you want to be a student?
    Tiff: I've got a better suggestion. If you really need someone for the job, I know a nice man who'd be perfect, and it just so happens he's a real teacher!
    Tiff: But this school doesn't have anything to do with cooking.
    Chef Kawasaki: That's okay. My cooking doesn't have anything to do with cooking either!
    Escargoon: Kirby's tryin' to disrupt the class by saying "poyo" instead of "here"!
    Tuff: Wow! You can't even write your initials?
    Mr. Chip: I'm sorry, but in my classroom, everyone is equal, whether you're royalty or not. Let's try again, shall we, Dedede?
    Honey: Sir! If you made the flat part round, would that change the "D" into an "O"?
    Spikehead: Yeah! Just like Mr. Chip said it would!
    Iro: And if you shine a light in a mirror, it shines right back at you, right?
    Mr. Chip: Punishment won't help him learn. What Dedede could use is a bit of encouragement.
    Tiff: Well of course I do. If Mr. Chip could stay here in Cappy Town, I'd be the happiest girl alive. Mr. Chip is a wonderful man!
    King Dedede: I need some down time so my brain could re-coagulate.
    Mr. Chip: I couldn't find a teaching job anywhere and that's when Nightmare Enterprises approached me. I signed a contract and they sent me here. But once I met these students I just couldn't bring myself to hurt them, you see.

### Mumbies Madness [4.8]

    Tokkori: You hear that weird noise over there? You go check it out and I'll go back to sleep.
    Prof. Curio: LEAVE HERE IMMEDIATELY!!! [his shouting sends Kirby into an immediate panic as the latter flees, and he laughs evilly as the relic he was excavating is unsealed]
    Prof. Curio: It's none of your business! Get lost!
    Tiff: [about Professor Curio] But... why would he act so mean?
    Kabu: Kirby. You must be careful. That monster will never stop attacking you.
    Tiff: [reading] Mumbies are a good luck monster. Whoever finds one will become rich. Mumbies dwell underground by day, and know where many fabulous treasures are buried.
    Meta Knight: The Mumbies are vicious monsters sent throughout the universe to hunt down and exterminate Star Warriors. When the containers that hold them are discovered, they are automatically unsealed, and they begin looking for Star Warriors to destroy.
    Prof. Curio: It wasn't until I re-examined that book today that I realized what the King had done. I can't believe he tricked me!
    King Dedede: I'm givin' Kirby a good-bye gift!
    Escargoon: Get your good-byes ready, kid. Your little friend is finished!
    Escargoon: Easy, Sire. This is a comedy show, not a reality series!
    King Dedede: [seeing that Kirby has let the Mumbies get burned by the sun's rays] Kirby won!
    Escargoon: And who's fault was that?
    [Dedede screams in anger]

### A Sunsational Surprise/A Sunsational Puzzle [4.9]

    Sir Ebrum: Those were the days...
    Tiff: Hey, mom?
    Lady Like: Yes, dear?
    Tiff: Are those wrinkles?
    Lady Like: WRINKLES!?!? [looks at herself in the mirror and then screams] The sun rays are mollifying me!! [to the viewer] Stop staring at me! My face is looking like a prune! [screams] Call the plastic surgeon!
    Sir Ebrum: Aren't you overreacting, dear?
    Escargoon: Uhh... Well, Sire, you look like a roast turkey whose timer never popped up.
    Lady Like: Outside?! [screams] Those beastly sunbeams are going to attack you! You're not going out there, is that clear?!
    Tuff: If Mom wants me to go back inside, she'll have to come out and get me!
    King Dedede: Yeah! Gives you wrinkles, blotches, and scabby-lookin' sores that make ya even uglier than usual! [laughs] But your worries is over if you buy this here stuff! DDD Sun Potion blocks them nasty UV rays, plus it instantly D-juvenates your skin and makes it all smooth and silky-like! Looks like a baby's behind!
    Tiff: You can't believe every TV ad you see, especially if the product comes from King Dedede. He's up to something.
    Tiff: Looks like she's found a night owl.
    Tuff: Yeah, but Mom's a cuckoo bird.

### A Chow Challenge [4.10]

    Chef Kawasaki: Hey, listen up everybody! I want you all to meet Nagoya. He's an old buddy of mine from way back when we were both students in cooking school.
    Chef Nagoya: You really have made progress as a chef, Kawasaki. This is quite tasty!
    Tuff: What's the big deal? It's not like there's anybody else here to eat 'em.
    Chef Kawasaki: I don't want Nagoya to find out that I still can't cook!
    Tiff: Go easy on those noodles, Kirby.
    Tuff: Gettin' into a fight about cookin' is crazy.
    King Dedede: If that guy studied with Kawasaki, then he's gotta be a graduate of the institute of indigestion!
    Tiff: Wonder if he cooks like Kawasaki?
    Escargoon: He took cookin' lessons with Kawasaki.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: We're doing our best, but Nightmare Enterprises deals in monsters, not in groceries. It may take a little time, Triple-D.
    King Dedede: Biggest trouble with cookin' up monsters is you end up with a dish that wants to eat you!
    Escargoon: Don't miss the great kitchen combat as Gourmet Nagoya challenges Kawasaki: the guy who put the "gas" in "gastronomy"!
    Chef Nagoya: Your crazy cuisine has won that little Star Warrior's heart and stomach. Kirby would never be happy eating my food. It's way too bland for his taste!

### Waste Management [4.11]

    Escargoon: Go hug a tree-frog, sister! That's not the way we're getting rid of this rubbish.
    Waddle Doo: By orders of King Dedede this garden is being converted into a garbage dump!
    Crowemon: We've made it! Our troubles are over. The ruler of this land has promised to feed our flock if we stay here!
    King Dedede: Thanks for flyin' in, boys. Pick what'cha want and chow down!
    Tiff: I knew these crows were gonna be a problem. I just knew it!
    Crowemon: You lied to me! You said you'd give us all we can eat. But the trash is gone and we're still hungry!
    Crowemon: I suppose we'll have to keep searching for a place where there's food.
    Crowemon: We have been betrayed! When our forest was destroyed, I led you here and the King promised to feed us, but he and his subjects drove us away, so now we must make him pay!
    Tokkori: Well, ya got me stumped. I couldn't tell ya what this mystery meat is if ya paid me!
    Tuff: What's goin' on here, Tiff? How come Tokkori and Coo are chasin' us, too?!
    Tuff: Yeah, he's tellin' the rest of the crows what to do!
    Meta Knight: Now it is controlling all of the other birds. They must be stopped!
    Crowemon: [to Dyna Blade] Stay back or I'll put the squeeze on your darling baby! All the birds in this world fear and respect you, except for us. Every hundred years, you show up and expect us to cower before you, but you and that ravenous chick of yours gobble up too much of our food supply. We crows are taking control, now. So, if you want to see your chick again, stay out of our way!
    [Crowmon threatens Dyna Blade and holds her chick hostage]
    Tiff: Holding Dyna Chick hostage is a dirty trick!
    Tuff: Yeah, can't even defend itself!
    [Dedede and Escargoon crying, offscreen]
    Tiff and Tuff: Dedede?
    Escargoon: This is just terrible!
    King Dedede: If Dyna Blade don't stop them crows, they gonna come after us next!
    Tiff: [as Dedede and Escargoon crying continues] You two started all this, when you all provided prove to your nature trash!
    Escargoon: Listen, missy! Talking trash isn't gonna save Dreamland from those flying freaks!
    King Dedede: Yeah, we want to stop them crummy crows too!
    [Dyna Blade is knocked back when Crowmon zaps her with laser eyes]
    Tuff: Knock it off!
    King Dedede: Ain't that nobody how to stop that thing?!
    Crowemon: You will never get away!

### Shell-Shocked [4.12]

    Tiff: Shell collecting is fun, but it can also be quite educational. Some creatures like clams have two shells that are connected. Other creatures just have a single shell.
    Escargoon: [sneezes] Somethin' around here's got my allergies acting up.
    King Dedede: [laughs] Just don't sneeze on the grill! I'm cookin' top shell! [he take a mouthful of topshell and he chewing] Maaaan! Is that ever hot! But tasty. Here, you wanna try one?
    Escargoon: Not if they taste like they smell.
    King Dedede: Not even one?
    Escargoon: I don't like shellfish.
    King Dedede: Bet you never tasted ones like these here. Come on!
    Escargoon: Eugh... No! [exclaims]
    King Dedede: Guess that just means more top shells for me! [some empty topshells fell on a ground after he ate them all] Boy, oh, boy, that does a belly good!
    [Waddle Dees clean some other topshells and except one who fell, and then Dedede imagine of this topshell]
    King Dedede: An empty shell. Get outta that shell right now!
    [Escargoon screaming]
    King Dedede: Come back here, Escargoon! I wanna see what you been hiding underneath that shell of yours!
    Escargoon: You're crazy! It's not open to the public!
    King Dedede: Slow down, so I can get a crack at it! [He tried to a mallet to Escargoon's shell, but it missed, Escargoon laughs] Grrr!! Come here!
    Escargoon: [jumps] Oh! How dare you try to hit me! [jumps again]
    Escargoon: [laughs] Methinks the king is out of shape. Well, adieu. [chuckles, leaves with suavity]
    [Dedede however, was never tired, and tricked Escargoon. He then hammers his shell from behind, Escargoon screaming in shocked]
    Escargoon: Sneak attack!
    King Dedede: I'm crackin' your shell open and havin' a look!
    [Escargoon screams, his shell is about to slightly cracks]
    King Dedede: Ah-ha!
    Escargoon: Huh?
    King Dedede: [he points on Escargoon's shell] Hey, it's startin' to open up!
    Escargoon: [screaming] It is? Everything looks okay to me?
    King Dedede: I always knew you was a little bit cracked. Now you're more cracked than before! [laughs]
    Escargoon: You may find this amusing but I don't! [groans] I just hope I don't catch pneumonia.
    Escargoon: Get me a doctor this is an emergency, I'M CRACKING UP HERE!
    [At Doctor Yabui's clinic, Escargoon gets his fractured shell looked at by Doctor Yabui]
    Dr. Yabui: Oh...yes I see...my goodness.
    Escargoon: Your goodness what, doc?
    Dr. Yabui: Bad news. there's a fracture in your shell.
    Escargoon: [gasps] Well don't just sit there, fix it!
    Dr. Yabui: I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.
    [Escargoon whimpers in terror]
    Dr. Yabui: It can't be repaired.
    Escargoon: You're joking!
    Dr. Yabui: It might even get bigger.
    Escargoon: THIS CAN'T BE!!! [His shell cracks once more, Tiff and Tuff gasped. Whimpering in terror, he sees behind his shell cracking again, and cries] PLEASE HELP ME!!!
    Tiff: That's tough.
    Tuff: Don't get excited, Escargoon. It's only a shell.
    Escargoon: Don't tell me not to get excited, kid. My whole world's falling apart!
    [Escargoon is suddenly interrupted by Dedede shows up in the Royal Racecar to exacerbate things further]
    King Dedede: Hey, Yabui. No use hiding Escargoon! [He barges into Yabui's clinic] Come on out! I know you here some-place. And I'm gonna find ya. [He tries to open the door] It's me, Escargoonie-goo. Open up this here door. I'm your best pal, ain't I? I won't hurt you.
    Escargoon: Go away. I can't see you now. I'm studying for a blood test.
    King Dedede: I'm real worried about you, so please open up, little buddy? [He pulls out his mallet] In fact...I'll open it for you! Stand back, buddy! [He hits a door with a his mallet]
    Escargoon: He wants to smash my shell to pieces! [He barricades the door]
    King Dedede: Now ain't you gonna let me in there or ain'cha?
    Escargoon: [grunts] Uh-uh! [His shell cracks again, then he screaming in terror]
    Tiff: Stop that! Haven't you done enough?! Don't you know Escargoon needs his shell to protect his body?!
    King Dedede: Protect his body?
    Dr. Yabui: That's right. Without his shell, Escargoon would be completely exposed.
    [Tuff laughing]
    King Dedede: Hey! Wonder what that looks like...[He imagines what Escargoon would look like without his "clothes" on, which is reference by The Birth of Venus; thinking] Am I being disrespectful? Should I leave Escargoon alone? Probably but I ain't a' going to. Now show me what you hiding under that there shell!
    Escargoon: I'm never showing nothing to nobody!
    Tiff, Tuff, and Dr. Yabui: Nobody?
    Escargoon: Why do I suddenly feel like a scientist experiment!? [When Dedede busts the door with his mallet] I'm not letting you open this door!
    King Dedede: [He continues busting the door with his mallet for several times] Let me in!
    Escargoon: GO AWAY!!! Help me.
    King Dedede: Here I come! [He smash the door down. He does so and breaks the shell completely]
    Escargoon: That did it!
    [All exclaim, and Kirby closes Escargoon's shell]
    King Dedede: Hey! You get off of that! You can't park it there!
    Tiff: Stay right where you are! Now you've done it! You've split Escargoon's shell apart!
    Escargoon: I never felt so violated! I lost my dignity!
    King Dedede: Now you just relax whilst I have myself a little look-see here.
    Escargoon: Don't let him touch me!
    King Dedede: You know you're gonna have to show me sooner or later.
    Escargoon: How about later? Much later.
    [Dedede chases Escargoon around, both yelling]
    King Dedede: As your king, is it my royal right to see what you got under that shell and I ain't quit 'til I get a peek! [As he steps on Escargoon's tail, Escargoon screams as Kirby falls off. Escargoon grab and pull the tail offs and his so the shell falls off, but it closed again] Oh no!
    Escargoon: Thank goodness.
    Kirby: Po-yay?
    Tiff: Leave Escargoon alone! Don't you think you've caused enough trouble for him already?!
    King Dedede: Not really. I think I could cause a lot more trouble.
    Tiff: You broke his shell in the first place, so you better find him a new one!
    Escargoon: And fast!
    King Dedede: Find him a new shell, huh? That's a great idea!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Sure thing, King! In fact, we have a monstrous new line of mollusc-wear that is guaranteed to bring out the beast if you know what I mean.
    [Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff patch Escargoon's shell up with tape]
    Tiff: Okay.
    Escargoon: Phew, I feel so much better. But why'd you have to repair it tape? The least you could a done is use the invisible kind!
    Tiff: This is just temporary. We'll come up with something nicer.
    Escargoon: [to Tiff] Anything be nicer than this cheap fix! [to Dr. Yabui] Can't you patch up this shell with some kind of plastic surgery!?
    Dr. Yabui: Hmph. I suggest you find yourself a veterinarian for that.
    [Escargoon growls in irritated]
    Tuff: Hey. Why don't we fix it with some glue?
    Tiff: Yeah. The really strong kind.
    Dr. Yabui: It might work, but to apply glue you'd have to remove the shell temporarily.
    [Escargoon screams in shock]
    Tiff: That won't be so bad. Come on, let's go look around for something Escargoon can wear in the meantime.
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Sir Ebrum: All clear outside, too, my dear!
    Lady Like: I think the way the King is behaving is perfectly un-decent.
    King Dedede: With my new remote-controlled spy fly, I'll get me a real bug's eye view! [He uses the Grasshopper Eavesdropper to take a peek at the Escargoon in a changing-tent]
    Escargoon: How humiliating...[He picks up the tin pan] This one looks too small, but I'll try it on anyway,
    King Dedede: This is it! Yeah! Let see!!
    Escargoon: [Moans, but he notices Grasshopper Eavesdropper spying on him and he screams in shock, smashing it with the tin-pan] SPY ON ME, WILL YA!?
    King Dedede: It's busted! Now my undercover bug can't spy on that slug!
    Tiff: Escargoon, are you okay?
    [Tiff and Tuff accidentally lift the changing tent curtain too early, Escargoon screams while he's naked]
    Tuff: Hehe..
    Tiff: Uhh...Sorry about that.
    Escargoon: [In the changing tent] A tin pan on my can...How am I supposed to look good in this junkaroo!? [Wears a bucket] Ta-da! Bucket-butt! [Wears a sheep wool] Look at me! I'm a sheep! I'm a mess! [Wears a vase, laughing] How about this one? Disaster! [As he throws a vase out of changing tent]
    Sir Ebrum: Steady, Tiff.
    Lady Like: Did it work?
    Tiff: I hope so. Wow, this shell sure is interesting.
    Tuff: It is?
    Tiff: Sure. Just look at how intricate it is inside.
    Tuff: Wow, how come something as nasty as a snail gets such a nice shell, Tiff?
    Tiff: Because snails don't have any bones in their bodies.
    Sir Ebrum: I wonder what he does look like without that shell.
    Tuff: Escar-goofy!
    [All laughing, except Tiff]
    Escargoon: [upset] Quit making jokes and go find me something decent to wear, I can't bear it anymore!
    Escargoon: It's amazing! Kirby, this is so nice it almost makes me regret all the times I tried to destroyed you!
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Escargoon: OK, kids, get ready. Presenting..me! [Everybody applauds and Kirby cheers. Escargoon posing with his new shell for a bit] Hi!
    Lady Like: Very becoming!
    Escargoon: It shows the spikier of me.
    Tiff: And it looks like a perfect fit, too.
    Escargoon: Merci. Fashion's show's over, missy! Get cracking that shell! And step on it!
    Tuff: Man, he's still rotten.
    Tiff: I guess you can't judge a slug by his cover.
    King Dedede: So? Making like top-shell, huh? You lucky I didn't fricasse you!
    Escargoon: Yeah, well you came close enough!
    Tiff: Escargoon's just wearing this, while we're trying to fix up this regular shell.
    King Dedede: Oh. Now I get it.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    King Dedede: You hog! You ate my tender delicious topshell before I got to it!
    Escargoon: That shell was empty when I put it on, you blowhard!
    King Dedede: Hey, that reminds me!...I still ain't seen what you been hiding under that shell!
    [Escargoon exclaims]
    Escargoon: [laughs in evilly] It's too late now.
    King Dedede: New shell or no new shell, I still wanna see what you hiding underneath here!
    Escargoon: It's no use, but give it a shot, Sire.
    King Dedede: ALRIGHT!!! [He attempts to break it open, but to no avail] It's too hard.
    Tiff: All that pounding is giving me a pounding headache!
    Maimaigoon: This shell makes me invincible...and powerful!
    Maimaigoon: [to Kirby as he fires his lighting beams] You're finished, Kirby!
    King Dedede: For a snail, he's pretty quick.
    Escargoon: [He fits back into his repaired old shell] Ta-dah!
    Tuff: Escargoon's shell looks as good as new.
    Tiff: And all's well that ends well.
    King Dedede: Hold on! I think there's another crack in that there!
    Escargoon: The only thing cracked in this room is you, you wacko!
    King Dedede: Just one little-itty-bitty peek?
    Escargoon: You keep your paws off of me! HELP!
    King Dedede: Escargoon, please!?
    Escargoon: Buzz off, you creep!
    Tiff: Well, at least that monster's gone.
    Tuff: Yeah, but it would have tasted good with some garlic and melted butter.

### Tooned Out [4.13]

    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You don't know what you're asking for, D. Putting together a professional animation team takes a lot of effort and money.
    Escargoon: This is our hero, King Dedede and his evil arch-nemesis, Kirby.
    King Dedede: Kirby's a klutz, but he's a tough fighter!
    Escargoon: However, the king always defeats Kirby by the end of the episode.
    King Dedede: Makes you wish real life was more like TV. [he and Escargoon break out in laughter]
    Escargoon: So, what do you fellas think about of our show?
    King Dedede: Ain't you got questions before you start to draw?
    Sleepy: Dudes, that girl character is totally awesome.
    Biggy: She's so awesome, she deserves her own animated series.
    Bony: Why don't we make HER the hero?
    Escargoon: Tiff can't be the hero! She's a bad guy!
    King Dedede: There's only room for one hero on my show and that's me!
    Bony: This is like a no-brainer.
    Sleepy: Totally no-brainer.
    Biggy: Tiff has to be the star.
    Bony: Totally.
    Sleepy: Totally.
    Biggy: We'll have her fight monsters!
    Bony: We'll give her some super powers!
    Sleepy: We'll maybe a secret identity!
    [boys talking all at once]
    Escargoon: Believe me, guys, she's no hero.
    King Dedede: If ya saw up close, you'd agree.
    Sleepy: Cool, then we'll check her out.
    Bony: We'll see you later.
    Escargoon: You're leaving?
    King Dedede: You just got here.
    Boys: [as they heading outside] Roses are red. Violets are blue. Here we come, Tiff. We're gonna draw you!
    King Dedede: They don't seem like professional animators.
    Escargoon: I bet they don't have enough brains among the three of 'em to fill a pencil case.
    Tuff: Kirby'd go picnicking in a snowstorm as long as there's food.
    Biggy: Trouble, dudes, she found it. Bummer.
    Bony: We better split before she sees.
    Sleepy: We need more recordings of her voice to use in the cartoon.
    Chief Bookem: Saw that outside window? Are you sure was a bad dream?
    Tiff: It was no dream, and here's a proof!
    Chief Bookem: Hmm. This is a bug used to listening on conversation.
    Mabel: No.
    Tiff: When I found it I knew someone is spying on me. Whoever it is it's following on me everywhere.
    Buttercup: Bookem, you've got to do something to stop this spying spree!
    Chief Bookem: Buttercup, these spies could be real dangerous...
    Buttercup: Not as dangerous as me!
    Chief Bookem: Alright!
    Kirby: Poyo.
    [Tiff and her friends catch the three boys who were stalking her for material]
    Tiff: Well, well, well, the spies got out spies.
    Buttercup: Who are you?
    Mabel: Why are you following Tiff?
    Chief Bookem: Dedede must have hired these three jokers to do it.
    Sleepy: We're not using that dude.
    Bony: We decided to change things around.
    Biggy: We're creating a female hero to star...
    Boys: "The Tiff Show"!
    All: "The Tiff Show"?
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Biggy: Tiff's got everything it takes to be an animated star.
    Sleepy: Expect hey.
    Bony: We can fix that easy.
    Tuff: Looks like you already have your own fanboys. [Tiff growls at him]
    Tiff: [Angrily glares at the three boys] You guys shouldn't have snuck around [as she rips a photo] taking my picture without permission!
    Sleepy: She looks good when she's mad.
    Bony: Those lines on her head look totally fierce.
    Biggy: She's sure is gonna be a lot of fun to draw.
    Boys: Cutie.
    Tiff: [gasps, gets angry] Don't call me that! [as she glaring to three boys] Why don't you guys show a little originality and invent your own cartoon character instead of picking on me?! I DON'T WANT TO BE A CARTOON STAR!
    Boys: If you say so, star!
    King Dedede: My new cartoon's premierin' in two days?!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You better get moving, Triple D! A hole opened up in our network's schedule for the day after tomorrow!
    Escargoon: We can't produce a cartoon in 48 hours!
    King Dedede: Don't worry, we'll wiggle out of this one somehow.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: According to our contract, if you don't finish the cartoon on time you won't get your production money back!
    King Dedede: I done got swindled here! [Escargoon exclaims] We gotta find them three guys.
    Escargoon: Uh-huh. [He and Dedede run off]
    Escargoon: You guys have two days to finish a cartoon!
    Sleepy: But dude, that's not enough time.
    Escargoon: Really?! Then you loafers will just have to draw around the clock!
    King Dedede: Now quit stallin' and go get to work!
    King Dedede: Don't let 'em get a wink of sleep till they finish with my cartoon.
    Waddle Doo: Yes, sire!
    Escargoon: You guys better work fast. If that cartoon show isn't done in two days you'll be staying down here permanently!
    Escargoon: See? We're crackin' the whip on 'em!
    King Dedede: Them animators is under total control now. I ain't gonna let 'em out the dungeon 'till they got my cartoon finished!
    Tuff: But they look miserable in there.
    Tiff: These animators like they're dangerous animals.
    King Dedede: I think that there's an insult!
    Escargoon: Yeah, animals aren't that bad.
    [Dedede and Escargoon laughing]
    Tiff: They could be drawing whatever they want to.
    Tuff: Did you check on them to make sure they're drawing you?
    King Dedede: Let me see!
    Biggy: Later!
    Escargoon: [Bony exclaims] I want to look at what you're doing!
    [King Dedede and Escargoon discovers the sketches of Tiff that his three boys were working on]
    Tiff: See, I told you so.
    Escargoon: She's right, they haven't made any drawings of you!
    King Dedede: NO WAY!!! How can this show be about me if i ain't in it!
    Escargoon: They can't redo the cartoon in one day.
    King Dedede: Only way to make the broadcast is to force the Cappies to do it!
    Tiff: Don't bet on it, the Cappies would never work for you again.
    Tuff: They learned their lesson last time.
    King Dedede: [angrily growling in furious. He runs off] Let's go talk to the Salesman!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Aww, having production problems?
    Escargoon: Those animators you sent won't obey our orders!
    King Dedede: They makin' the show all about Tiff!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: If we don't get your cartoon tomorrow there's a penalty.
    King Dedede: Don't blame me, it's them animation freaks fault!
    Escargoon: The only way we can deliver on time is if you send us the fastest animator ever.
    King Dedede: Make it quick, there ain't time to lose!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Alright, boys, I'm sending you the ace of all animators. Allow me to introduce the legendary Dis Walney!
    Dis Walney: Hmm, the scene needs more excitement. I need more energy, King!
    Dis Walney: You can make a cartoon in just a few hours, and you don't need to pay any artists anymore!
    Anige: Now I'm going to delete your friend Kirby permanently!
    Tuff: Hey, it's morning.
    Tiff: And there's still no cartoon.
    [Dedede and Escargoon whimpering]
    King Dedede: If we don't put a cartoon on I'll be flat broke!
    Escargoon: But, Sire, there's only five minutes left to go!
    King Dedede: Whoever said "the show must go on" didn't know us!
    [Dedede and Escargoon cry as they embrace each other and Tuff laughs]
    Tiff: Too bad those professional animators couldn't help you.
    Both: [stop crying] Huh? What'd you say?
    King Dedede: So let's go!
    Escargoon: There's still hope!
    King Dedede: Well, guys?
    Sleepy: It wasn't easy, dude, but we did it.
    Biggy: We had to draw it really fast.
    Bony: But it's way cool!
    King Dedede: Who cares? It's done!
    Escargoon: 10 seconds left!
    [Meanwhile, Dedede puts it on the reel]
    Tiff: They drew it in a day?
    Tuff: That's amazing!
    Kirby: Poyo.
    [Dedede sets it up for live broadcast]
    Tiff: I underestimated you three. [The three boys laugh] You obviously have more talent then I gave you credit for.
    [The cartoon begins with an overly-stylized image of Tiff. King Dedede and Escargoon's jaws drop, Tiff is shocked, and Tuff and Kirby cover their eyes]
    Escargoon: That doesn't look like you, sire!
    King Dedede: There's somethin' bout 'dat girly that looks sorta familiar!
    Tiff (anime-stylized): I got an idea, I'll invent my own cartoon!
    Tuff: That's supposed to be you!
    Tiff: That's my voice but the rest is all wrong!
    Kirby: Poyo...
    Tiff (anime-stylized): [giggles] This is an absolutely perfect day for snowing, don't you think so? [giggles]
    Tiff: That's so disgusting!
    Kirby: [closes eyes] Poy-oy...
    [an image of the animated Tiff holding a parfait is shown]
    Tiff (anime-stylized): I think I'll have a picnic all by myself!
    [cut to Tiff growling angrily as she balls her fists]
    Tiff (anime-stylized): I got a funny feeling that somebody out there is watching me.
    [cut back to Tiff, who at this point is a boiling mass of impotent rage]
    Tiff (anime-stylized): I wanna be a cartoon star! [giggles]
    Tiff: [She looks at the three boys] Is that airhead really supposed to be me?!
    Biggy: [as the boys laugh] Yeah! Except she's not short like you!
    Tiff: Yeah, I'm short alright... [growls as she pulls out what appears to be King Dedede's mallet out of nowhere] AND SO'S MY TEMPEEER!!!!!
    [Tiff attacks the three boys over their exploitative depiction of her in their cartoon, using King Dedede's hammer. The episode ends as Kirby joins in the chase, thinking it to be a game]
    Kirby: POYO!

### Born to Be Mild - Part I [4.14]

    Rip: The name's Rip. Sorry to wake ya, officer!
    King Dedede: Ow! Ow! Ow! You hit the volume-izer by mistake!
    [Dedede and Escargoon coughing]
    King Dedede: Hey, what's the idea sticking up the hand here!?
    Escargoon: Yeah, who do you think you are? King Dedede?
    King Dedede: You're in big trouble!
    Tuff: Now what?
    [Tiff scowls]
    Tiff: That biker gang could strike again at any time! We've got to have a plan to defend ourselves!
    Tuff: We're not gonna let you mess up Cappy Town!
    Turbo: My name's Turbo. Allow me to introduce our fearless leader: Fang!
    Fang: First we gotta find a dude named Steppenwolf, but then we'll take care of Kirby for ya.
    Gus: One of them bikers is an old friend of mine. You see, I used to belong to a motorcycle gang.
    NME Sales Guy: Now hold up, Highness. Have you considered beating them with a track attack... by having a race? Of course, you'll need a place to race! That's expensive, but Nightmare Enterprises could be the sponsor!
    King Dedede: We gonna have a big race at the brand spankin' new DDD Speedway!
    Narrator: It looks like Fang's racing circles around Kirby and the rest of the Cappy crew! Can the friends defeat the gang without Gus? Find out next time, on Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

### Born to Be Mild - Part II [4.15]

    Fang: Just wait, Kirby. I'll finish you off later! Right now, I wanna make sure I win this race.
    Meta Knight: Come. Let's search the dungeon.
    King Dedede: That punk jockey ain't got a chance of beatin' Fang now!
    Melman: You caused a lot of trouble when you were younger, but this is your chance to make up for it. Take that chance while you still can!
    Gus: You know, Melman? Maybe you were right. I'll make it up for all the trouble I caused!
    Escargoon: That grease monkey must've got out!
    Tiff: Listen! According to this chemical analysis, the fuel in Fang's motorcycle couldn't have come from this planet.
    Meta Knight: I fear we are dealing with a monster.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: What a surprise. It looks like our bad boy biker has been de-fanged by a rough-riding old-timer with a need for speed!
    Melman: You can say all you want, Tiff. The important thing is that Fang is gone. Ooh, am I gonna be sore tonight...

### Hunger Struck [4.16]

    Escargoon: Huh, HUH?! Baby string beans, spring rolls with asparagus tips, black truffle risotto, and a deluxe sushi platter?! SIIIRE!!
    Escargoon: Sire! Sire! You won't believe with those Waddle Dees! I just left him in the dining hall!
    King Dedede: Good, don't bring him in here cause it might kill my appetite.
    Escargoon: While you slurp that slop, the Waddles Dees are having the feast. It's a gourmet meal with four different courses fit for a king.
    [Dedede becomes extremely upset and he throw the cup of ramen noodles in Escargoon's face]
    King Dedede: If it's fit for a king, how come I ain't gettin' any?! Grrr!
    Escargoon: We're busy snickering, here!
    [Escargoon stops King Dedede from barging in to his Waddle Dees' mess hall]
    Escargoon: No, sire! I don't think you should go in the dining hall 'til you've calmed down!
    King Dedede: I am calm and hungry too!
    Escargoon: [grunts] Please, Majesty! This is not a good i..dea! You won't be able to control your temper or your appetite! [Pushing Dedede into backwards, grunting] We can't afford to upset the Waddle Dees, Majesty! They do all the work around here! Sire! Let it go! Back up!
    King Dedede: Hey! Hold on. It don't make sense to me! How can that Waddle Dees eat gourmet grub when they don't got no mouths?
    Escargoon: Huh.
    [cut to Escargoon and King Dedede find out how Waddle Dee eat]
    King Dedede: See? No mouth. Waddle Dees can't eat cause they ain't no place to shovel in food!
    Escargoon: But, Sire, every living creature needs nourishment. [he runs off and he runs back with a cookie] Let's see if he eats this cookie!
    [A Waddle Dee eats a cookie]
    King Dedede: No way!
    Escargoon: It absorbed the cookie!
    King Dedede: Hey, how'd it do that? It's munchin' alright...
    Escargoon: Wonder how it flosses...
    King Dedede: That's weird.
    [Waddle Dee gulps and he walks away]
    Escargoon: They and great didn't even say "Thank you".
    [rattling sound]
    King Dedede: Yeah...How much does it cost?
    Escargoon: Does what cost?
    King Dedede: To feed them there Waddle Dees.
    Escargoon: Huh!?
    King Dedede: Them Waddle Dees gets one meal a day...just the same as I do!
    Chef Kawasaki: Great! I'm sure I can cook up a winning bid. I already make food that costs next-to-nothing, and it tastes like it, too!
    Tiff: You can't make a good meal for that money!
    Tuff: Whoever wins will make food for the Waddle Dees.
    Meta Knight: You mean this uprising is over food?
    Waddle Doo: [to the Waddle Dees] The king's so stingy he put us on a starvation diet! Now our stomachs cry out for vengeance!
    [cut to King Dedede and Escargoon being chased by angry Waddle Dees]
    King Dedede: We in trouble! My own guards is out to get me!
    Escargoon: I've heard of hunger strikes before, but this is ridiculous!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laughs] Isn't this ironic? You guys got cheesy with the Waddle Dees' food and now those little meatballs have you quivering like jelly.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Allow me to introduce our culinary master Fryclops!
    Fryclops: So. All you Waddle Dees are hungry, eh? Here! Let's start with stir-fry dumplings!
    Fryclops: I accept your offer. I want you to attack Kirby!
    Fryclops: I have total control of the Waddle Dees, thanks to my delectable cooking!

### D'Preciation Day [4.17]

    Everybody: Happy Mayor Blustergas Appreciation Day!
    Tiff: You two wouldn't understand appreciation days because you're too self-centered to appreciate anything!
    Tuff: It's not hooey! It's a way to honor our friends!
    King Dedede: Does this mean I ain't getting a gift?
    Escargoon: I'd be shocked if they gave you a card.
    King Dedede: We'll see about that!
    Escargoon: I think you'd be a much better candidate for something like "Take Your Tyrant to Lunch Day!"
    King Dedede: Must be somebody out there appreciates me!
    Escargoon: Oh, I wouldn't bet on that. [to Waddle Doo and Waddle Dees] Do you guys know anybody who appreciates His Majesty?
    Waddle Doo: Nope. Nobody.
    Escargoon: [offscreen] Don't you appreciate the king?
    Waddle Doo: I prefer not to say.
    Escargoon: [As Dedede growls] I have somebody who appreciates me.
    King Dedede: You liar, they're ain't nobody who appreciates you none neither!
    Escargoon: Is too!
    King Dedede: Who could ever appreciate a slug-less slime maker like you. [laughs]
    Escargoon: It really hit the spot.
    King Dedede: I'm gonna hit your spot if you don't hush!
    Escargoon: [laughs] ♫ I detect a hint of jealousy. ♫
    [King Dedede screams in angrily]
    Tiff: I know Dedede can be mean and nasty and selfish, but deep down, he really just wants to be loved. If we gave him a present, maybe he'd feel loved, and change his ways.
    Tiff: Wait a second, Dedede! Kirby didn't mean to make you mad, he was just trying to show you he cares by giving you something he likes.
    Tuff: That's more than anybody else did.
    King Dedede: Nobody 'round here appreciates me, so I'm gonna start up a brand new tradition in Dream Land! There gonna be no more appreciation days. From now on, we only celebrating Dis Days!
    Chef Kawasaki: Please, take it down! I don't deserve this!
    Waddle Doo: Sorry, Kawasaki. King's orders!
    [Kawasaki whimpering]
    Gengu: Maybe we should give this diss thing a try.
    Gus: And it sure beats having to buy him a present.
    Mayor Len: You do have a point there, Gus.
    Mabel: Kawasaki deserves a little dissing.
    Chief Bookem: His food disses all our stomachs.
    [Cappies laughing after throwing those pies at Chef Kawasaki]
    Tiff: [offscreen] Drop those pies!
    [All the cappies exclaims in once]
    Tiff: I expect this from Dedede but not from you!
    Samo: Oh.
    Mayor Len: Hello, Tiff.
    Professor Curio: We're only doing what the king said we had.
    Tiff: Tomorrow's your Appreciation Day, Chief Bookem. But I guess it's your Dis Day now.
    Chief Bookem: Oh, that's alright. Don't bother.
    Tiff: I thought so.
    Escargoon: Looks like Tiff's trying to disrupt Dis Day.
    King Dedede: Just wait 'til she finds out who we dissin' next!
    [King Dedede and Escargoon laughing evilly]
    Tiff: I guess I was wrong of think Dedede have a change of heart.
    Tuff: You were wrong to think he had heart.
    Tiff: Deep down I'm sure he wants to be good just like the rest of us do.
    Tuff: I think he's rotten no matter how deep down you go.
    Tiff: Even so I--[She notices Kirby is missing] Kirby?
    Tuff: Huh?
    Tiff: Where'd he go?
    [Kirby is lured by a watermelon once again. King Dedede and Escargoon prepare the watermelon time bombs]
    Escargoon: Sire, be more careful of this plan old backfire!
    King Dedede: Look at these things got me all taking out. I sure wish Kirby would hurry up and get here.
    Escargoon: Just make sure those watermelons you squatting on don't get crushed, Your Majesty. And don't forget they've all been hollowed out and have time bombs inside them.
    Tiff: [offscreen, angry] What's going on!?
    Tuff: This might be some kind of trap, Tiff.
    Tiff: [As she attempts to walk near the wagon] I think I better take a closer look.
    King Dedede: NO! NO! STAY AWAY!
    Escargoon: DON'T COME NEAR!
    [Kirby latches onto the watermelon cart, pushing King Dedede and Escargoon down with it]
    Escargoon: Sire, we have to get out of here.
    King Dedede: What's the problem? It's only a watermelon patch.
    Escargoon: You're forgetting about our explosive surprise.
    King Dedede: Oh yeah. Don't eat yet, Kirby!
    Escargoon: Those watermelons won't blow up till the timers go off.
    King Dedede: So we got time to get away.
    Escargoon: I got an idea. [He whispers something to Dedede]
    King Dedede: Then I'll prank and still work.
    [Dedede and Escargoon laughing]
    King Dedede: You fell for it!
    Escargoon: [laughs] We got you got good this time, sucker!
    King Dedede: Only a few seconds left! 10. 9. 8.
    Escargoon: 7. 6. 5. 4. 3.
    Tiff: Spit it out, Kirby!
    King Dedede: Here...
    Escargoon: We...
    Both: GO!!!
    [Kirby's face becomes red and glows, and he then starts to spit gray smoke from his mouth, at such a force and speed that he is sent flying up in the air while spitting out more smoke]
    Mayor Len: Oh dear.
    Chief Bookem: He's worse than heartburn.
    [Kirby crashes into Cappy Town; charred, but he still okay after the watermelon bombs explode inside]
    Tuff: Kirby.
    Tiff: Oh no.
    Tuff: He looks barbecued.
    Mayor Len: Imagine someone doing such an awful thing.
    Tiff: [angry] DEDEDE'S GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME!!
    Mayor Len: Oh.
    Tuff: Yeah, he can't get away with turning Kirby into a firework!
    Tiff: I'm having an idea on how to get them back! And I'll need you all to help me!
    [All the Cappies exclaim in once]
    Tiff: If he thinks these pranks is funny he's dead wrong!
    [Cut to King Dedede and Escargoon in a throne room]
    King Dedede: [laughing] So you think Kirby liked his present?
    Escargoon: He was blown away by it, Sire.
    King Dedede: [laughing] You know I almost feel sorry for that pink pea brain. Maybe I should get him a little thank you gift for being such a good sport.
    Escargoon: Huh?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: In the market for a monster, Big D?
    King Dedede: No thanks, I played a dynamite trick on Kirby and now I want to buy him a nice present.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You're joking, right?
    King Dedede: Maybe a box of chocolate-covered watermelons, or a toy, or maybe a t-shirt that says "poyo" on it.
    Escargoon: And wrap it up really pretty too.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: You sure you guys are feeling all right?
    King Dedede: Hush-up! Just send me a present for Kirby or I'll never order a monster from you again!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I'll do the best I can, Your Majesty...
    King Dedede: [laughs, offscreen] That's more like it!
    Waddle Doo: [runs into the throne room] A message for you, Sire!
    King Dedede: Who's it from?
    Escargoon: It's from Tiff. She's inviting us to Kirby's memorial service.
    King Dedede: His what?
    Escargoon: I regret to inform you that Kirby is gone. We're gathering to bid farewell to him this afternoon. Please, join us to pay our last respects.
    King Dedede: Is Kirby really!?
    Tiff: Poor old Kirby.
    Mayor Len: All those explosions were simply too much for him to take!
    [Dedede and Escargoon whimpering]
    King Dedede: So, Kirby's in there?
    Gus: Hard for him. What was left.
    King Dedede: [gasps, then cries] KIRBY!! [whimpering as he starts having flashbacks of Kirby in his mind. Back in reality, he tears up] ...I'm sorry!..
    [Dedede and Escargoon start crying in front of Kirby's grave, while Tiff, Tuff, and the Cappies, still crestfallen, are standing in front of it]
    King Dedede: It's all our fault!
    Escargoon: Forgive us, Kirby! That prank was His Majesty's idea, but I was the one who came up with the time bomb part! For once I wish I weren't so brilliant!
    King Dedede: [As he hits Escargoon on the head] Now I wish you was dumb as me! [crying continues]
    Escargoon: If only that were possible.
    King Dedede: I never would have played that prank if I have known this was gonna happen...I wish I could go and take it all back!
    Tiff: Unfortunately, it's too late.
    King Dedede: But there's got to be something I can do.
    Tiff: You can't do start by promising not to play any more practical jokes on your subjects!
    King Dedede: I PROMISE!! [crying] Here, Kirby. This one ain't got no time bomb.
    Tiff: I'm sure he'd like that a lot.
    King Dedede: I MISS YOU KIRBY OL' BUDDY! [cries]
    Tiff: I think Dedede is really sorry.
    Mayor Len: I agree.
    Tuff: Looks like he learned his lesson.
    [Kirby then jumps out of his fake grave, and eats the watermelon. Dedede and Escargoon scream]
    King Dedede: He even got a hungry ghost!
    Tiff: Oh, Kirby.
    [Tuff groans]
    Escargoon: Kirby's not a ghost. The runt's still alive! A-ha! You were all playing a trick on His Majesty, weren't ya?
    King Dedede: [whimpers, then loudly cries tears of joy] I'M GLAD HE'S OKAY!!!
    Escargoon: You are?
    King Dedede: It was dull bein' ruler of Dream Land before you came along. I need me an enemy!
    Tuff: The king really has changed.
    Tiff: In his own twisted way he cares about Kirby.
    King Dedede: Kirby...
    Escargoon: Don't you think you should check and see what it is first?
    King Dedede: Quiet! [as he proceeds to hit Escargoon with his hand]
    Tiff: That's no toy!
    Tuff: No way!
    King Dedede: I'm glad to see my present such a big hit!
    Waddle Doo: The card says: This is Chuckie. Made especially for Kirby by Nightmare Enterprises.
    Tiff: It's a monster?!
    [the townsfolk celebrate Kirby's victory]
    Escargoon: Every day's Kirby appreciation day.
    Waddle Doo: You've got a card, Sire.
    King Dedede: Huh? Somebody appreciates me too.
    Escargoon: Here. Let's see. It's a bill from Nightmare Enterprises. They want 9 million D-Bills for that monster.
    King Dedede: [whimpers, then cries loudly] THEY ONLY APPRECIATE MY MONEY!!
    [Kirby is hoisted into the air at the end of this episode]

### The Thing About the Ring [4.18]

    King Dedede: Stick a sock in it, slug-mug! We gotta find out why today's so special!
    Lady Like: Daddy's a little nervous. He's always that way on our anniversary.
    Tiff: [to Sir Ebrum] How come you always act so weird on your anniversary? I don't get it. It's the same thing every time.
    Sir Ebrum: Though we've been married for years, I've never given your mother a ring.
    Escargoon: Well, what do you think? Ain't that the most jaw-droppin' eye-poppin' rock you ever seen?
    Escargoon: There you are, my twinkling little treasures. I bet none of you's made of glass. Little does King Greedede know I've been collecting you glittery goo-gahs for years!
    King Dedede: Quiet! It is my royal duty to hog every treasure in this here kingdom!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Just what the doctor ordered, eh, D-Man?
    Tokkori: Is this what you were lookin' for? Looks like I got it first!
    Chef Kawasaki: Hey! You got any fresh fish today, I got a dinner planned!

### A Dental Dilemma [4.19]

    Buttercup: It's for your own good, Bookem. Open wide, dear.
    Tiff: Oh, please. I've had toothaches funnier than King Dedede.
    Escargoon: That's easy for him to say. PLEASE DON'T PULL MY TEETH OUT, DOCTOR!!
    Escargoon: That maniac drilled so deep, I thought he was gonna strike oil.
    King Dedede: Serves ya right. I knew that sweet tooth of yers would turn sour someday.
    Escargoon: You could get cavities too, you know.
    King Dedede: [laughs] My choppers is way too powerful to get conquered by cavities.
    Escargoon: I don't see how you can eat all that sugar and never get a single cavity.
    King Dedede: [laughs] And I don't even brush!
    Escargoon: You're pushing your luck, Sire!
    King Dedede: You’re just jealous 'cause you’re the cavity kid.
    Lady Like: Tuff. I want you to brush your teeth before you go to bed tonight. You too, Kirby!
    Escargoon: Highness, you're headed straight for a dental disaster! You hear?!
    Sir Ebrum: I'm afraid we warned you.
    Lady Like: If your tooth is zat hurting...
    Tiff: Then you'll have to go see the dentist.
    [cut to King Dedede's bedroom]
    Dedede: SAY WHAT?!?!?! To th' dentist?!
    Escargoon: But, Sire, you have to get that tooth filled.
    Dedede: Ain't no way you gonna drag me there!
    [cut back to Sir Ebrum's family apartment, where Tuff is hanging on to the edge of the couch while Tiff is pulling him]
    Tuff: I told you! I don't wanna go see the dentist! WAAAAAAAAH!
    [cut back to Dedede's bedroom where Escargoon is trying to pull him away from the bed]
    Dedede: I'd rather dive head-first into the Booma-Dooma Volcano!
    [cut back to Sir Ebrum's family apartment again]
    Tuff: I won't go! Rrrgh!
    [cut back to Dedede's room again]
    Dedede: No way!
    [cut back to Sir Ebrum's family apartment again]
    Tuff: No WAY!
    Escargoon: Doctor Yabui won't hurt you, Sire.
    Dedede: He had you shrieking like a smoke detector!
    Hardy: BEGIN TOOTH EXAM.
    Hardy: HUH? NO TEETH FOUND! CANNOT TREAT! NO TEETH FOUND! CANNOT TREAT! CANNOT TREAT!

### Cowardly Creature [4.20]

    Escargoon: My life is a nightmare...
    Tokkori: That thing's already torn up half the town!
    Tuff: Whoa! That monster must be huge!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I can assure you we're not responsible, Triple-D. The escapee was part of our "Young Monsters of the Future" program. The training facility is secure, but it looks like somebody found a way to break into our computer system and sent one of our horrible hopefuls free.
    King Dedede: I'm me, alrighty. I think it's about time to extra-cise my kingly duties and protect my subjects!
    Escargoon: In fact, I can assure you that the King is totally irresponsible!
    Tiff: That poor thing's afraid! We have to do something!
    Chef Kawasaki: Well at least when I don't have any customers I don't have any complaints.
    King Dedede: A Star Warrior ain't supposed to be protectin' no monster!
    Escargoon: Sire, what if he turns into Hammer Kirby?!
    King Dedede: Now don't do nothin' rash! We yer friends, Kirby!
    Tuff: If all monsters were easy-going like Phan Phan, this galaxy'd be a lot better off.
    Tiff: I wish I knew why Phan Phan's so frightened all the time. I've never seen a monster act like this before.
    Escargoon: He's a juggler who goes right for the jugular!
    King Dedede: Now that's my kind of clownin' around! Wonder if that guy does birthday parties?
    Whippy: Hitti hitti!

### Frog Wild [4.21]

    Hana: I don't know what's gotten into Kirby, but something has.
    Professor Curio: [cries] Oh no... how could you? My relics are just a pile of rubble now. Why did he come in here and smash them all? Why, Kirby?
    Tuggle: [crying] I'm always nice to Kirby! Why would he wanna do 'dis?
    Mabel: What is wrong, Kirby? You do not seem to be your perky-pink self today.
    Tiff: [horrified] HE DID THAT!?
    Mabel: Thanks to Kirby, I can't make predictions anymore!
    Samo: He smashed up my place, too!
    Tuff: This doesn't look too good for Kirby.
    Tiff: There has to be a misunderstanding. Kirby's a Star Warrior, not a juvenile delinquent!
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Kirby totaled my car...[cries]
    King Dedede: He done what?!
    Escargoon: Kirby's smashing up Cappy Town like a pink wrecking ball!
    King Dedede: [laughs] He sees it's more fun to be a heel than a hero! But there's only room for one mischief-maker in this kingdom, and that's me!
    Escargoon: Well now the Cappies are more scared of Kirby than they are you, Sire.
    King Dedede: Say what?
    Escargoon: Maybe they're just afraid of Kirby because he's a dynamic-demonic ball of fire, and you're just a big bellied out of shape ball of blubber! [gets hit it with Dedede's mallet]
    King Dedede: Now you're out of shape. I'm checking this out!
    Chef Kawasaki: Oh, hello, Kirby. Come on in. I got some leftover turkey jerky hash if you want... Where you goin'? You don't have to have the hash. I can cook anything you want me to. Ah! You just name it!
    Tiff: This can't be true.
    [Which leads King Dedede and Escargoon to drive into Cappy Town with their Royal Racecar]
    King Dedede: I heard a rumor that Kirby's raisin' a ruckus 'round here.
    Chief Bookem: He's public enemy number one.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: He's destroying Cappy Town!
    Gus: He's like a monster.
    King Dedede: Is that so?
    Escargoon: I told you Kirby's scarier than you are.
    [Kirby throws a pan out the window, breaking it]
    Tiff: It is Kirby!
    King Dedede: He does look kinda scary.
    Escargoon: [laughs] Who knew a half-pint could be so horrifying?
    King Dedede: I ain't gonna let that pipsqueak out-mean me! [He jumps out of Royal Racecar]
    Escargoon: Wait, what are you gonna do!?
    King Dedede: I'm gonna prove I'm more troublesome than Kirby is! [He enters in Kawasaki's restaurant]
    Escargoon: Sire, I was only kidding!
    King Dedede: Hey you there, gumball!
    [Kirby's evil state up-close for himself and Dedede gasped]
    Escargoon: You're much worse than Kirby.
    [Kirby's evil state up-close for himself, Escargoon screams and hides behind Dedede]
    King Dedede: Forget it! Kirby ain't no threat to you Cappies. Why he's as harmless as a horse-fly!
    Tiff: Yeah, anyone who knows Kirby knows that he wants to help us, not hurt us.
    King Dedede: It's true. Why that goody-goody ain't got a bad bone in his body.
    Chef Kawasaki: [After Demon Kirby set the fire on Kawasaki's restaurant] Why, Kirby!? Why!?
    Chief Bookem: He destroyed headquarters...
    [King Dedede's Royal Racecar crashed into Chief Bookem's police station, Doron escapes and exploding violently]
    King Dedede: THERE GOES MY LIMO!!!
    Escargoon: Thanks, Kirby.
    King Dedede: Now what am I gonna drive?
    Chief Bookem: They're wiped out.
    [All the cappies talking at once]
    Tuff: I can't believe this.
    Tokkori: I always knew Kirby was trouble, but this takes the cake. That boy's gone ballistic!
    Chief Bookem: Attention all Cappies! Stay inside your homes! Keep your doors locked, and your windows shut! Kirby's on the loose!
    [At night, Dedede's castle]
    King Dedede: [offscreen] I ain't gonna let Kirby to show me up.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: This is a surprise, D-Meister. Why the late night call?
    King Dedede: Tell me who's the baddest bad guy in Dreamland?!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Is that a trick question?
    King Dedede: You're supposed to say it's me!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I'd agree with that.
    King Dedede: But them Cappies thinks it's Kirby!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: No. How come? [As Dedede angrily growls]
    King Dedede: HE SMASHED UP CAPPY TOWN!!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: But Kirby's a good guy.
    Escargoon: [As Dedede growls furiously] He's tearing through this kingdom on a debris spree!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laughs] Sounds to me like Kirby found your Demon Frog.
    King Dedede: My Demon Frog?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Don't you recall the monster you ordered a couple months back? [imitates frog noises]
    King Dedede: Yeah. Now I remember that frog.
    Escargoon: Majesty, that frog is a hoppin' horror show!
    [End of flashback]
    Escargoon: Ah, you mean that frog?
    King Dedede: Sunk right into Kirby?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: If the Demon Frog really is inside Kirby, then there's no way he can be held responsible for attacking Cappy Town, because it was really the Demon Frog forcing him to do it.
    [cut to where Meta Knight, Tiff, and Tuff eavesdrop and learn the reason for Kirby's evil behavior]
    King Dedede: [offscreen] I get it.
    Escargoon: [offscreen] Kirby's being controlled by that evil amphibian.
    Tiff: [whispered] I should have guessed Nightmare Enterprises did this!
    Meta Knight: [whispered] We must find a way to make that Demon Frog leave Kirby.
    Tuff: [whispered] Let's go and find Kirby.
    Tiff: [whispered] Yeah! [She, Tuff, and Meta Knight runs off]
    Waddle Doo: Sire!
    King Dedede: What's wrong?
    Waddle Doo: Emergency! Kirby's attacking the castle!
    King Dedede: He is?!
    Waddle Doo: Sound the call for reinforcements!
    King Dedede: I'll show that runt.
    Escargoon: If we try to take on Kirby without Heavy Anaconda's help we might accidentally unleash the Demon Frog and who knows what it'll do!
    King Dedede: [to Escargoon] I DIDN'T ASK YOUR OPINION! [as he used the tape to taping Escargoon's mouth] Keep your yappin' shut! Hey! [laughs] I'm gonna use this tape to stick it to Kirby!
    Meta Knight: Kirby responded to you, Tiff. He is trying to resist the Demon Frog! That monster doesn't have total control of his mind yet. Call to him again.
    Tiff: Kirby! I told you to knock it off!
    King Dedede: I give up, Kirby! [While Demon Kirby is still beating up/attacking him and the Waddle Dees]
    Tiff: FOR THE LAST TIME! STOP, KIRBY!!!!
    [The Demon Frog momentarily loses control of Kirby]
    King Dedede: [after letting the Demon Frog after he transforms himself into Demon Dedede, evilly deep voice] You puny peewees better be scared, 'cause I'm the baddest dude on the whole planet!
    Tiff: YOU BETTER LEAVE KIRBY ALONE!!
    Escargoon: They finally sent you the monster. That must be the Heavy Anaconda, Sire!
    Tiff: You should teach those two a lesson.
    Tuff: Yeah, they're always scheming against you!
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Tiff: It's time to give them both a taste of their own medicine!
    Kirby: Poyo.
    King Dedede: Step away, Escargoon! [He kicks Escargoon on a ground and he run away]
    Escargoon: Wait, Sire! I'm a coward too!

### Cappy Town Down [4.22]

    [Kirby and friends arrive to find Cappy Town a smoldering wreck and thousands of Cappies homeless]
    Tiff: Oh, Tuff... This is terrible. The whole place was destroyed when that spaceship attacked. There's no Cappy Town left.
    Tuff: I don't believe it.
    Tokkori: Folks are sayin' this is your fault.
    [Kirby lowers his head and lets out a sad Poyo. The Cappies turn to Kirby to try to take out their grief on him]
    Mayor Len Blustergas: When your ship crashed, we welcomed you to Cappy Town and now we're paying for it, Kirby.
    Chef Kawasaki: Yeah. We lost everything because of you!
    Tuggle: It was a mistake to let you live here.
    Buttercup: Maybe it's time for you to move on.
    Gengu: Yeah, this is all your fault, Kirby!
    [Kirby lets out another sad Poyo, only for his friends to step in and defend him]
    Tiff: This isn't Kirby's fault. It's Dedede's fault!
    Tuff: Yeah, what about all the times Kirby came to our rescue?
    Chief Bookem: He sure didn't save us this time.
    Hana: That's why we don't have a place to live anymore.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: Cappy Town is in ruins.
    Melman: There's not a mailbox left in the whole town.
    Samo: It's a fine mess Kirby's got us in.
    Tiff: Well, this isn't gonna solve anything.
    Tuff: Yeah! Now's the time to work together!
    [The Cappies are questioning in a confused state while Tiff growls. Then she proudly grunts]
    Tiff: Come on! We can't give up now! Remember, we've been through tough times before. We'll pull through this one too!
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Chief Bookem: We just don't know what we should do, Tiff.
    Tiff: Meta Knight will tell us. He wants to meet with all of us up in the castle.
    King Dedede: It's a phone.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: That isn't just an ordinary phone, Your Majesty. [Dedede's phone starts ringing with a familiar-sounding ringtone, and Dedede opens his phone to find Kirby and another familiar-sounding ringtone, this one being a remix of the theme song]
    King Dedede: Hey, what's that pink stinker doin' in there?!
    Escargoon: And what's with that annoying music?!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laughs] Nobody would ever suspect that you'd use a Kirby phone to call Nightmare Enterprises.
    King Dedede: Great idea!
    Escargoon: I wouldn't be surprised if we even get stuck with a phone bill.
    King Dedede: [about the Halberd] Hey, what is that damn thing?
    Escargoon: Sire, how am I supposed to know? But whatever it is, I think our friend at Nightmare Enterprises would be very interested in it.
    Meta Knight: The coming battle may well determine the fate of the galaxy.
    Tiff: We can't give up without a fight.
    King Dedede: Meta Knight, you's a dirty double-crosser! You've got some nerve buildin' this here battleship in my basement!
    Escargoon: And what's with this "fate of the galaxy" mumbo jumbo? You got that helmet on too tight?
    Meta Knight: You still have a chance to join forces with us before it is too late.
    King Dedede: Lemme see inside of that ship first.
    [the door to the inside of the Halberd opens]
    Meta Knight: Follow me. I will take you to the bridge.
    King Dedede: Yeah, I'd like to push you off one.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: This is catastrophic.
    Samo: How can we survive, Meta Knight?
    Prof. Curio: Maybe we should just get rid of Kirby.
    Meta Knight: Listen to me. eNeMeE is not just after Kirby. He will not stop until he controls the entire universe! We must all try to stop him!
    Tiff: That's what this battleship's for, right?
    Tuff: We can battle eNeMeE from inside here.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Mabel: This sounds crazy.
    Meta Knight: The odds are against us, but you must decide now! I need a crew. Will you stand up and fight with me?
    [the Cappies recoil in fear]
    Samo: You want us to fight?!
    Chef Kawasaki: I'm a chef, not a soldier!
    Meta Knight: I cannot fly this ship alone. Are there no brave volunteers? Chief Bookem!
    Chief Bookem: Ah, I'd like to help, but I'm a lawman, not an airman.
    Mayor Len Blustergas: I'm too old to volunteer.
    Chef Kawasaki: I think I left my oven on!
    Mabel: My crystal ball needs polishing!
    Gus: Gotta go pump some gas!
    Prof. Curio: Good luck, Meta Knight!
    [the Cappies run out of the Halberd in terror]
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Hey there, D. What's shakin'?
    King Dedede: ME! You just blowed up my monster transmitter!
    Escargoon: And you nearly got us, too!
    Kit Cosmos: Kirby doesn't stand a chance without help.
    [the Cappies turn around and notice Kit Cosmos]
    Kit Cosmos: Well what're you waitin' for? We can't let a Star Warrior battle alone!
    Samo: Who is he?
    Mabel: I don't know, but he could use a shave.
    Kit Cosmos: Sergeant Kit Cosmos! I served with Meta Knight and the Star Warrior force and I'm reportin' for duty.
    Iro: Tiff told us about you.
    Honey: He's a big hero.
    Spikehead: You live on that island.
    Kit Cosmos: Kirby and his squad found me there, and when they went home, I chose to stay. But now I've come to help Kirby take on eNeMeE. All right then, who's ready to fight alongside me?
    Samo: He certainly is a tough cookie.
    Chef Kawasaki: Yeah. Even tougher than my cookies.
    Kit Cosmos: Will you stand alongside me, or are you a cowering coward?
    Mayor Len Blustergas: We can't fight, Sergeant.
    Prof. Curio: We're not soldiers.
    Kit Cosmos: Not soldiers? Is that a reason for you to stand there and do nothin'?! Kirby's riskin' his life to save your planet, and it's your duty to help him!
    Tuff: Look who's here.
    Tiff: Sergeant Cosmos!
    Kit Cosmos: I'd never miss a fight if I can help it. [Meta Knight steps out to greet him] Meta Knight, sir!
    Meta Knight: What brings you here?
    Kit Cosmos: I may be a soldier who's over the hill, but I'm proud to serve one last time, if you'll have me.
    Meta Knight: I will.
    Kit Cosmos: It'll be an honor, sir.
    Chef Kawasaki: I can mess up the mess hall, so count me in too!
    Dr. Yabui: You'll need a medic.
    Gus: And I've got the muscle to tune this baby up for ya!
    Tiff: Thanks, guys! But not all of us can go.
    Tuff: Yeah. Somebody's gotta stay behind to start rebuildin' Cappy Town.
    Prof. Curio: Hmmm. We never thought of that, did we?
    Gengu: Yeah, I guess you're... [the area around them shakes again]
    Sword Knight: All volunteers on board.
    Blade Knight: [mumbling] Help Kirby.
    Escargoon: Hey, sire. What were you supposed to do again?
    King Dedede: I was supposed to plant this here time bomb on the ship.
    Escargoon: We weren't supposed to be on the ship, were we?
    King Dedede: Aaah! Get me outta here!

### Combat Kirby [4.23]

    Sword Knight: Don't worry. She'll be fine. This ship's made to move at hyper speeds.
    Tuff: Yeah, but none of us are.
    Tokkori: Some wormhole. I don't see no worms nowhere.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Our sensors go to have picked up some sort of battleship coming out of a wormhole one light year away. It appears that Kirby and Meta Knight have decided to attack us with their puny little battle barge.
    Nightmare: They are growing desperate. They'll realize I have them beaten. I was hoping they'd be foolish enough to attack, so I've prepared a surprise for them.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: The capsule's set, sir. I'll send it on its way. [sends out a capsule containing Heavy Lobster]
    Chef Kawasaki: Cooking this space food is as easy as boiling water!
    Samo: This is the first time I ever enjoyed Kawasaki's cooking.
    Chef Kawasaki: Can I boil you some dessert?
    Dr. Yabui: Rather dull up here. When I don't have any patients to see, I get rather impatient.
    Tuff: Isn't there any place we can go to get away from you two?
    Tiff: I should've guessed you'd try and stow away.
    Escargoon: We have a right to be here, sister!
    King Dedede: Yeah, this ship was built on my property.
    Chef Kawasaki: What are you doing here?!
    King Dedede: I'm comin' along to give you all a helping hand! I'm sick and tired of eNeMeE sendin' me all them defective monsters!
    Escargoon: What else can we say? We're disgruntled.
    King Dedede: I'm gonna show them crooked creepos that they've done ripped off this here king for the last time!
    Tiff: Well we don't believe a word you say!
    Meta Knight: Do your duty, Chief.
    Chief Bookem: I'm lockin' you up as non-combatant detainees.
    King Dedede: You think he was trying to tell me something?
    Escargoon: He did sound awfully final.
    [King Dedede and Escargoon screaming in shocked. And they hugged in panicking]
    Escargoon: I think we got ourselves a monster!
    King Dedede: Hey, there must be some mistake. I didn't order no monster from ya!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: We sent this monster to you for free, Your Majesty.
    King Dedede: Well I don't want no favors from ya, so just take it all back, ya hear?!
    King Dedede and Escargoon: [in unison] RUN!!
    King Dedede: You ain't nothin' but a cheap chizzlin' cheater and now we gonna settle the score with ya.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Can't we just talk this over?
    King Dedede: It's too late! We just found your space fortress and now we gonna make a sneak attack!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Thanks for the tip off, Big D. [to the other members of N.M.E.] Prepare for attack. Launch all Destraya ships immediately! [signs out]
    King Dedede: Hey, that chump just hung up on me!
    Tiff: You're the one who's the chump!
    Tuff: Thanks to you, they know our whole plan now.
    Escargoon: [he and Dedede are shocked by what Tiff & Tuff just said] That sales guy just tricked you again, sire.
    King Dedede: [Laughs] Least I don't have to pay that phone bill.
    Gus: They got thousands of those flyin' hub-cabs!
    Chef Kawasaki: Maybe we should go back while there's still time.
    Chief Bookem: I agree. There's no way we can win this.
    Meta Knight: We will not retreat. We must enter the fortress and fight to the finish!
    [three Destraya ships suddenly attack the other Destraya ships to everybody's amazement]
    Chef Kawasaki: What's going on? They're fighting each other.
    Tuff: And they're not attackin' us.
    Tiff: What's eNeMeE up to now?
    Meta Knight: We are not fighting this battle alone.
    Knuckle Joe: [turns on his screen to contact the Halberd crew] Hey, how's it goin', gang?
    Tiff: Knuckle Joe!
    Knuckle Joe: I took over a Destraya and was hoping you'd let me join your party.
    Sirica: [her screen comes on as well] Do you remember me? I came along to help, too.
    Tiff: Hey, that's Sirica!
    Kirby: Poyo!
    Sirica: Knuckle Joe and I have become friends now and we're teaming up to help you defeat eNeMeE.
    Sir Arthur: [his and his knights' screen comes on as well] And we will be joining the battle as well.
    Meta Knight: Arthur, and the rest of the Star Warriors!
    Sir Arthur: We were able to raid the fortress and commandeer some Destraya ships. We will clear the way for you to enter the fortress so you and Kirby can challenge eNeMeE.
    Meta Knight: It will be an honor.
    Kirby: Poyo.
    Knuckle Joe: But right now, just sit back and let us handle that fleet.
    Sirica: Now onto victory!
    Sir Arthur: Full speed ahead!
    [the three Destrayas that Knuckle Joe, Sirica, Sir Arthur and his knights stole destroy the other Destrayas]
    Tiff: They destroyed the enemy ships!
    Meta Knight: Yes! Now we can enter the fortress. Set sail for liftoff! [the Halberd blasts its way past more Destrayas and successfully enters the entrance to Nightmare's fortress]
    Chief Bookem: It's awful quiet.
    Chef Kawasaki: I wonder why nobody's attacking us.
    Tuff: Maybe they've given up.
    Sword Knight: Detecting something big, closing fast.
    Tiff: Look there!
    Kirby: Pooo...
    [Nightmare, finally stepping out of the shadows after 98 episodes, makes himself known to the Halberd crew through a giant projection of himself]
    Meta Knight: eNeMeE...
    Nightmare: Heh. It was a mistake to come here, Kirby. As you can see, you and your puny band of Star Warriors pose no threat to me. Challenging me is the last mistake you will ever make!
    Kirby: Poyo!
    [Nightmare laughs evilly]
    Meta Knight: Follow him.

### Fright to the Finish [4.24]

    Tiff: Meta Knight, those blasts went right through him.
    Meta Knight: He has led us into a trap!
    Escargoon: I guess Kirby's gonna beat us once and for all, Sire.
    [Dedede's cell phone starts ringing]
    King Dedede: What's that sound?
    Escargoon: Your phone. [Dedede pulls out his phone and fumbles it between his hands] Ugh, that music's annoying, I wish you'd put it on vibrate. [Dedede catches his phone and opens it]
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laugher] Hey there! Are you ready to surrender yet, Your Majesty?
    Escargoon: You bet we are!
    King Dedede: I ain't never gonna wave no white flag!
    Escargoon: Forget about His Highness, can you at least save me!?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: If you'd like to negotiate, you'll have to speak with my boss. [reveals Nightmare, who laughs evilly and hypnotizes both Dedede and Escargoon]
    Sword Knight: [using King Dedede's cell phone that he dropped to track the signal] The signal's coming from up there.
    Gus: Must be the command center.
    Dr. Yabui: That's where they control the fortress.
    Chef Kawasaki: Hey, let's set up a blast up there and wreck the place. That'll stop eNeMeE!
    Tuff: Yeah, but who can do it?
    Tokkori: It's your idea, so you oughtta go.
    [Chef Kawasaki gasps]
    Kit Cosmos: [laughs heartily] Don't worry. I'm comin' along to provide backup support.
    Chef Kawasaki: I wish I never cooked up this idea.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Thanks for the special delivery.
    King Dedede: I know that voice. You're the sales dude!
    Escargoon: We've never actually seen you in person before.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: Well you're in for a little surprise. [turns his chair around, and, to the surprise of Tiff, Dedede, and Escargoon, reveals that he has stubby feet similar to other Kirby characters and is only about as tall as Escargoon]
    King Dedede: You look a lot taller on the TV screen.
    Escargoon: You're almost as shrimpy as Kirby.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [laughs] I may be shrimpy, but I'm a whale of a salesman. And now, we'll take the kid. [Nightmare grabs Tiff]
    Nightmare: It's too late, child. Kirby is about to face his worst nightmare...
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [evilly laughs] Kirby's falling right into our trap, thanks to you.
    King Dedede: Hold it! We've got a problem here.
    Escargoon: We could use some refreshments.
    King Dedede: Yeah. How about showing us some grinditude with some grub?
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: I'm afraid I can't help you fellas. There's no kitchen in the command center.
    Escargoon: We'll call Kawasaki!
    King Dedede: Oooh! [laughs and grabs the microphone] Yo, Kawasaki! Whip me up a little somethin' and rush it to me right away!
    Chef Kawasaki: Here you go, sire! Liver and spinach surprise.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: How'd he get in here!?
    King Dedede: Oh boy! Home cookin'! [sits down to eat Kawasaki's cooking and enjoys it] Mmm. This here dish is delish! Go on. Have a bite.
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: No thanks, I'm not...
    King Dedede: [shoves the liver into the N.M.E. Sales Guy's mouth] You're gonna love it! [laughs]
    Escargoon: [as the N.M.E. Sales Guy turns around, unable to handle the taste of Kawasaki's cooking] Bet ya never tasted anything like that!
    Nightmare: This is checkmate, Kirby. The game is up!
    Tiff: You brought Kirby here because this is where you make nightmares! But he's not afraid of you and your tricks.
    Nightmare: We shall see about that! Before this match is over, you will both learn the force of my power. [evilly laughs]
    Meta Knight: We can use the monster delivery system here to deliver us home.
    Tokkori: You don't seriously expect us to use that contraption, do ya?
    Kit Cosmos: Hm. It's worth a try.
    Meta Knight: But it is close to the place where you planted that bomb.
    [the rest of the crew gasp]
    Chef Kawasaki: We have to go back?
    Meta Knight: Yes, and we do not have a moment to lose!
    Nightmare: He has used up all of his energy. Kirby is now completely helpless. I can crush him with little effort... But first, some fun! I shall enter Kirby's sleep and give him a nightmare, and you can join him. This dream will be a real scream!
    Nightmare: [screams in terror as Kirby surrounds him with a barrage of stars from the Star Rod] No! How did Kirby discover the secret? That pitiful little Star Warrior has found my only weakness. I am helpless against the power of the Star Rod!
    Tiff: eNeMeE is really a living nightmare, so the only place you could beat him was inside a dream. Good work, Kirby! You are the only Star Warrior who gets the secret of the Star Rod and can use it against eNeMeE!
    Tiff: [About Tuff, Meta Knight, and the Cappies] We better go look for the others now.
    Tiff: Hi, everybody!
    Tuff: Hey, Tiff!
    Tiff: Kirby battled eNeMeE and he beat him!
    [everyone cheers now that they've heard the good news]
    Tiff: Where are you guys going?
    Tuff: The Halberd was blown away. We have to escape before our bomb goes off!
    [Tiff and Kirby gasp upon hearing Tuff's own fair share of news]
    King Dedede: [laughs] That liver sure made you shiver!
    N.M.E. Sales Guy: [brushing his teeth to get the taste of Kawasaki's cooking out of his mouth] I was completely disgusted!
    Escargoon: Now you know how we feel about you!
    [both laugh until they are suddenly interrupted by the Halberd's crew barging into the command center]
    Mayor Len Blustergas: There's the monster delivery system!
    King Dedede: Hey, what's goin' on?!
    Chief Bookem: Kirby beat eNeMeE and now we're gonna destroy this place!
    King Dedede: No way!
    [the N.M.E. Sales Guy gasps in shock and terror after having heard what Chief Bookem just said and makes a run for it]
    Sir Arthur: Kirby and his crew have actually done it.
    Knuckle Joe: I hope they had time to...get away.
    Sirica: Good luck, my friends.
    [Last lines, series finale; the sun rises over the horizon and the people look on at the fully-rebuilt Cappy Town happily]
    Mayor Len: Cappy Town's as beautiful as ever.
    Mabel: It was hard work, but we rebuilt it together.
    Tiff: Everything's back to normal.
    Escargoon: Except for the castle...[he and King Dedede look at the still-damaged Castle Dedede] It's still a wreck.
    King Dedede: And I ain't even got me a way to order me no more monsters.
    Meta Knight: [holds Dedede's cell phone out] What about this?
    King Dedede: Ah! Gimme!
    [King Dedede turns his cell phone on only to find its monitor all fuzzed out due to the destruction of Nightmare's fortress and the command center that was inside it, and he and Escargoon sigh in sadness. Tiff, Tuff, & Kirby laugh at the two and then look back at Cappy Town]
    Tiff: And so Kirby saved the galaxy and proved himself to be the greatest Star Warrior of all... and life in Dream Land went back to normal. But I suppose that with Kirby around, life will always be an adventure. Isn't that right, Kirby?
    Kirby: Puuu... Poyo!
