Return of the Ice Emperor/Transcript

(In the city, Garmadon emerges from the wreckage of the Destiny's Bounty.)
Garmadon: Lloyd? Are you injured?
Lloyd: I don't ... think so.
Garmadon: Here, let me help.
Lloyd: I don't need your help.
Garmadon: You appear to be stuck.
Lloyd: Well, I'm not! When I needed your help was when I was fighting the Overlord!
Garmadon: I told you repeatedly we had no chance of defeating him. Not until you master your Oni Form.
Lloyd: You know what? I don't want your help! Every single time I have ever relied on you, ever, you have let me down. So a big no thanks! (He does Spinjitzu and frees himself.)
Garmadon: Well, I'd have to see an itemized list of the times you're referring to to know if that's true.
Lloyd: I don't have time for this. I have to find the others.
Garmadon: Don't be a fool! Searching for your friends will only get you caught. We have to flee!
Lloyd: That's the problem with you! You only think about yourself!
Garmadon: And you don't think at all!
(A police car stops before them.)
Lloyd: Thanks for stopping, sir. We sure could use — Hounddog McBrag?!
Hounddog: Lloyd Garmadon. You are under arrest.
Lloyd: You can't be serious!
Hounddog: Oh, I'm serious as a rattlesnake with a headache. You gonna come quietly or not?
Garmadon: He never does anything quietly. Everything's an argument.
Lloyd: Don't you see what's happening? We're under attack by the Overlord! People are being infected by evil crystals!
Hounddog: Doesn't change my orders.
Lloyd: With all due respect, your orders might not have changed, but circumstances have! We should be working together, not —
Hounddog: I can take you in the easy way ... (He points his megaphone at Lloyd.) Or the hard way.
Garmadon: Allow me to answer this. (He powers up.)
Lloyd: No! (He pushes Garmadon to the ground just as he fires a blast.)
Hounddog: Halt in the name of the law! (He looks down to see the manhole cover spinning.)
(In the sewers, Hounddog searches for Lloyd.)
Hounddog: You're under arrest, Lloy— (Lloyd saves him from crystalized Hypnobrai.) You saved me?
Lloyd: Orders aren't everything. Hopefully one day, you'll see that. So long, Marshal.

(In the city, Antonia leads Misako and some citizens to the newspaper warehouse.)
Nelson: When does the news sleep?
Antonia: Hopefully soon, because I'm gettin' pretty tired. (She enters the warehouse.) Make yourselves comfortable. Bathroom's in the back.
Misako: I must speak with Wu.
Antonia: He's a little busy at the moment.
Misako: Too busy for an old friend?
Wu: Misako? (They embrace.) Tell me you found something.
Misako: I found something, but I don't know how to decode it. I found it in the Library of Domu. It's the final prophecy of Quanish the Elder.
Wu: Quanish? (He sighs.) Quanish was a fool.
Misako: A fool gifted with the ability to see the future. He foresaw a time when darkness would rise and corrupt the land and destroy all. But he also foresaw a possible victory.
Wu: How?
Misako: He speaks of a moment in the final battle, in which the acolytes of the First Spinjitzu Master will face a terrible choice. If they remember their courage and do what must be done for the good of all, they will be given a new form. A Dragon Form.
Wu: You're asking me to believe in the ramblings of a delusional old fool?
Misako: For all our sakes, yes. Because this is the only reference I found to any "Dragon Form."
Wu: How does he say this Dragon Form is achieved?
Misako: That's the tricky part. The images are simple enough, but the text is unlike any writing I've ever encountered. I can't read it.
Wu: Then we must rely on the images, and pray that I am wrong about Quanish.

(In the city, P.I.X.A.L. makes her way through the streets while evading Vengestone Guards. She defeats some and continues her search.)
P.I.X.A.L.: Now, where was I? (She finds the wreckage of the Zane's jet and gasps.) Zane! Zane, are you— Clutch Powers? How?
(Zane switches through several holographic forms.)
P.I.X.A.L.: Oh, Zane. The crash must have damaged your cloaking technology. Oh no! Zane!
Zane: (As the Ice Emperor) There is no Zane! There is only the Ice Emperor!
P.I.X.A.L.: I need to get you help, Zane. And I think I know where.
(She walks towards Borg Tower, carrying Zane on her back.)
P.I.X.A.L.: Stealth is required at this juncture. Please remain quiet.
Zane: (screaming) How dare you tell me what to do, you non-frozen fool?!
(Zane's voice attracts the Vengestone Guards, who surround them.)
P.I.X.A.L.: Zane, if these are our last functional moments, I want to express that my love for you is ingrained deeply in my circuits.
Zane: Ha! Love is for the weak!
(They are surrounded, but a prison bus knocks away all the guards.)
Ronin: Need a lift?
P.I.X.A.L.: Ronin? You are supposed to be incarcerated in Kryptarium Prison!
Ronin: Lucky for you, we got out.
P.I.X.A.L.: Killow? Ultra Violet?
Ronin: Some guy in a bird suit.
Fugi-Dove: Fugi-Dove! How hard is it to remember? Fugi-Dove!
Ronin: Where you headed?
P.I.X.A.L.: Borg Tower. (Ronin starts the bus.) You are offering to help me? Why?
Fugi-Dove: Oh, I'll tell! Let me tell!
(In a flashback, the inmates are watching TV when the Overlord's shockwave cuts off the power.)
Past Killow: No way!
Past Ultra Violet: What gives?
Past Ronin: Whatever that Crystal Temple is doing to the city, it must be messing with the power grid.
(The prison doors open.)
Past Ronin: Booyah, fellas, let's make a move!
(The inmates cheer and leave.)
Past Inmate #1: Who's going to the mall?
Past Ultra Violet: I don't get why this happened, but I'm good with it! Let's go, boys!
Past Fugi-Dove: No! We're not doing that, because ... inspirational speech like you wouldn't believe! That's right! You get inspired. And you get inspired. And you get inspired! Everybody gets inspired!
Ultra Violet: What?! That's not how it happened! The power did shut down and all the doors sprang open, but you weren't the one stopping everyone!
Fugi-Dove: Well, maybe I'm not getting every single little detail right, but that's basically it!
Ultra Violet: Basically baloney! It happened like this.
Past Fugi-Dove: Time to fly!
Past Ronin: Fine. Run away. Prove you're the spineless, worthless, no-good criminals everyone thinks you are. Or, stay, and fight to get our city back! And maybe, just for once, make your mommas proud.
Past Fugi-Dove: (He bursts into tears.) Ma!
Ronin: So, we found this jalopy in the prison yard, hot-wired it, and presto. Here we are.
P.I.X.A.L.: Most impressive. I ... thank you.
Zane: I, too! For this boon, I shall grant you continued life ... for now!
P.I.X.A.L.: Ignore him. He requires repair.
Zane: Boon retracted! Vex! Vex, cast them in the dungeon!
Fugi-Dove: Hey, look! There's Borg Tower!
(They enter Borg's office.)
P.I.X.A.L.: Dr. Borg!
Cyrus Borg: P.I.X.A.L.! And ... friends? What are you doing here?
P.I.X.A.L.: We require your assistance.
Cyrus Borg: Oh, well, you're in luck! I've been up all night, working on a new line of mechs and ... eh, wait. Help with what?
(P.I.X.A.L. picks up a remote and opens the blinds, showing Borg the invasion outside.)
Cyrus Borg: Perhaps I need to take more frequent breaks.
P.I.X.A.L.: It's a full scale invasion by the Overlord.
Cyrus Borg: The Overlord?! No, no, no. How could I possibly help against —
P.I.X.A.L.: With some repair work.
Cyrus Borg: Zane?!
Zane: There is no Zane!
P.I.X.A.L.: Don't ask.
Cyrus Borg: I don't know if repairs this extensive are possible. But, maybe, with enough time ...
P.I.X.A.L.: I'm afraid, Dr. Borg, that is the one thing we are quickly running out of. Time.
