Honesty/Transcript

(Kai and Jay emerge from a portal, both riding their dragons.)
Kai: Aww, man! I did not miss this place.
Jay: Seriously! This place is the worst! Okay, I have no idea where we are.
Kai: In the Never-Realm. The Ice Emperor's palace.
Ice Emperor: You have been summoned for competition!
Kai: Zane, why are you pretending to be the Ice Emperor again?
Jay: Yeah! Quit being a weirdo and knock this off!
Zane: You are in error! (He and the other ninja are revealed to be in a Vengestone cage.) That is not me!
Jay: What? How? You're the Ice Emperor!
Zane: Clearly not right now.
Jay: Point taken.
Ice Emperor: Ninja are said to have many virtues. You will engage in a joust to determine just what those are.
Kai: Uh, can't we just juggle or something? Jay's a pretty good ventriloquist.
Jay: No I'm not!
Kai: Shh! I'm trying to lie our way out of this!
Jay: The lie about my ventriloquism skills is easily disprovable! And you shouldn't lie anyway.
Kai: Since when did you become Mr. Truth Fanatic?
Ice Emperor: You will each joust one of my Ice Samurai without the use of dragon flight. If you defeat both of them - (He creates a portal.) - I will free your friends and allow you to go through this portal to find your Master Wu. But if you lose - (He blasts the cage.) - I will turn you into frozen statues for all eternity.
Kai: So that's a no on the juggling.
Ice Emperor: Enough! Prepare for battle!
(Kai and an Ice Samurai get into jousting position.)
Ice Emperor: Begin!
(Kai defeats his opponent and the ninja cheer.)
Ice Emperor: The victor is Kai.
Kai: Yeah!
Ice Emperor: If you ninja win the next joust, you gain your freedom and the portal.
Kai: No pressure.
(Jay nods and gets ready to joust.)
Ice Emperor: Begin!
Kai: Come on, Jay, you've got this!
(Jay knocks his opponent off, but he falls off as well. His dragon nudges him back onto its back.)
Kai: Oh right!
Jay: I was knocked off too! They couldn't see it!
Kai: Shh! Don't bring that up! For all anyone knows, we won. Fairly!
Ice Emperor: You have bested my warriors in an honest joust. They will pay the price for their defeat.
Jay: Stop!
Kai: (whispering) What are you doing?!
Jay: No innocent should suffer because of lies! I was also knocked from my steed. I did not win.
Kai: Great time to develop principles, Jay!
Ice Emperor: (claps) No. You are indeed the victor. I was aware you were knocked off. But this was not a test of jousting skill. It was a test of honesty.
(He blasts the chains and frees the other ninja.)
Zane: Nice work, Jay!
Ice Emperor: Your Master Wu needs your help. Go now. Go to his aid.
Zane: Come on, everyone. Let's go!
Kai: Still think the ventriloquism would have worked.
Jay: Ventriloquism. Yeah, I guess. Goes without saying!
(The ninja enter the portal and it disappears behind them.)
