Kryptarium Prison Blues/Transcript

(Skylor and Dareth arrive at Kryptarium Prison.)
Dareth: Hi there. I'm here in an official capacity to see my clients for a legal consultation.
Officer: Lawyer? You look more like a second-rate karaoke club owner or something.
Dareth: I'll have you know I happen to be a first-rate owner of a second-rate karaoke club, thank you very much! Oh, and also a lawyer. (He shows him his card.)
Officer: Seems to be in order.
(In the visiting room, Dareth speaks to the ninja.)
Dareth: Okay, guys. I know things look grim, but don't worry. The ol' brown ninja's got your back. I've been doing tons of research.
Lloyd: Great! What's the plan?
Dareth: We have to file for something called a ... a ... aha! A mistrial!
Zane: We have grounds for a mistrial? What are they?
Dareth: The very real grounds that we don't like the judge's verdict.
Zane: I regret to inform you that is not grounds for a mistrial.
Dareth: Huh? It isn't?
Skylor: Sorry to pile on the bad news, but something else happened. That king you busted in Shintaro?
Jay: Vangelis?
Cole: The Skull Sorcerer?
Skylor: Yeah. Last night, someone or something sprang him from prison. He disappeared.
Lloyd: The Crystal King.
Skylor: Who?
Kai: Some weirdo in a kabuki mask visited Lloyd yesterday, spouting a bunch of villain jabber.
Lloyd: He said someone called the Crystal King is assembling our enemies against us.
Skylor: To do what?
Lloyd: That's what we need to find out. Dareth, you gotta get us out of here to investigate this.
Dareth: I understand. You're relying on me and I won't let you down, that's a promise. I have one last strategy that just might work.
Officer: Time's up, ninja.
Dareth: Don't worry, trust me. It's a tried-and-true tactic that's worked in similar situations.
(The ninja follow the officer away, but Jay hangs back.)
Jay: How is Nya doing?
Skylor: Physically, fine. But she doesn't have her powers, and the judge won't give her permission to visit. Which is tough, because ... well ...
Jay: What?
Skylor: She blames herself for all of you being here. And she feels powerless to do anything about it.
Jay: Oh.
Kai: Don't worry, Jay. I know my sister. One thing about Nya: whenever she gets knocked down, she always gets back up.
Jay: I hope you're right.
(In the Monastery, Nya is packing up in her room.)
Wu: Nya, what are you doing?
Nya: Spring cleaning! Getting rid of a bunch of junk I don't need anymore.
Wu: But these are your training weapons.
Nya: Well, I'm no longer an elemental master, so I don't really need to train anymore. What's the point of keeping all this junk?
Wu: Sometimes, when people get upset, they do rash things, like throwing away all their possessions.
Nya: I'm not upset! Okay? I'm just being realistic. I'm not an elemental master anymore, right?
Wu: You may not possess elemental powers, Nya, but you are not defined by your powers. You are more than that.
Nya: I'll remember that. Thanks! Now if you don't mind, I really have to get back to throwing all this stuff out.
Wu: (He sighs, then sees a letter addressed to Samurai X.) Hmm. (He hands it to Nya.) Some things are worth keeping.
Nya: "Dear Samurai X, when there was a fire on my street, you saved my whole family." Samurai X. Hmm. (She finds and unrolls her old Samurai Mech blueprint.) Samurai X. Huh.
(At Kryptarium Prison, the ninja are eating.)
Jay: What is this food supposed to be?
Cole: I was gonna say oatmeal, but oatmeal isn't green.
Zane: I told them I do not drink motor oil, but they still gave me this.
Lloyd: I think I'd prefer the oil.
Cole: At least there's cake! (He takes a bite.) Ow! That hurt! If you want to keep your teeth, don't eat the cake.
Pythor: Well, well. Lookie here.
Ninja: Pythor?
Pythor: You do-gooders got locked up with the baddies you put away. Ironic, isn't it? (He laughs.)
Kai: (laughing) Laugh it up, Pythor. But you're stuck in here too.
Pythor: Yes, I got busted. By the New Ninja, who are so much better than you ever were, by the way.
(Kai almost attacks him, but is restrained by Cole and Lloyd.)
Jay: He's not worth it, Kai.
Pythor: Oh don't fret for me. Word is, someone's breaking villains out for a big job. I'll bust out of this joint before you know it.
Kai: You think we're gonna let that happen?
Pythor: I'd like to see you try and stop me. Compared to the New Ninja, you guys are a joke. (He throws a slice of cake at Kai.)
(Angered, Kai attacks him with a tray. A fight breaks out. Kai is slammed against the wall when hit by cake.)
Kai: Ow! That hurt!
Cole: I warned you!
Main Guard: Wrap it up! Back to your cells!
Pythor: You'll see, ninja. You'll see! All hail the Crystal King!
Lloyd: Crystal King.
(In the Hangar Bay, Nya runs to P.I.X.A.L..)
Nya: Pix, I was hoping you'd help me build something.
P.I.X.A.L.: What did you have in mind?
Nya: This!
P.I.X.A.L.: The old Sam X plans.
Nya: Yeah! Except I made a few modifications.
P.I.X.A.L.: Very interesting. This will require 1276 hours to complete.
(Nya looks dejected.)
P.I.X.A.L.: I will have it ready in the morning.
(At Kryptarium, Crystal Spiders break in. They crawl past the ninja's cell.)
Lloyd: Huh? (He kicks the top bunk.) Wake up! Something's happening!
(The spiders enter Pythor's cell and slap him awake.)
Pythor: Mumsie? (He sees the spider in front of him.) Good gracious - oh.
Kabuki Mask (hologram): Pythor P. Chumsworth. You are invited to join the Council of the Crystal King, and have your revenge upon those who wronged you. Do you accept?
Pythor: Ugh, give me a sec to wake up. (He slaps himself.) Yes.
Cole: What is it? What's going on?
Lloyd: I just saw some Crystal Spiders go past our cell! In the direction of Pythor's cell!
Kai: Crystal? As in the Crystal King? We have to stop him!
Lloyd: If we do this, we're gonna be making it worse on ourselves.
Kai: I think we got bigger things to worry about, Lloyd. Stand back!
(He blasts open the bars with his powers.)
Lloyd: I think it's this one!
(They find that Pythor has already escaped.)
Zane: Pythor! Stop!
Pythor: I don't think so! I've got a meeting with the Crystal King! So long, ninja!
Kai: Look out!
Lloyd: After him!
Pythor: Ah, Crystal Spiders. The only way to travel.
Lloyd: Come on. He's getting away!
Roof Guard: Come on, they're getting away! Stop running and turn yourselves in!
Lloyd: We're not trying to escape! He is!
Pythor: First-class accommodations! How delightful!
(Jay manages to hit a Crystal Spider with his powers.)
Kai: Heh hey, you got one! Nice shooting, Jay!
(Zane scans the spider and finds that it will explode.)
Zane: Look out! It's going to explode! (They all turn back and run towards the guards.)
Roof Guard: Aah! They're attacking us!
Lloyd: No, we're not!
Kai: Get down!
(They dodge out of the way just in time. Kai pursues the hovercraft for Pythor.)
Pythor: Cheerio, champs! Enjoy your prison time!
Kai: Oh, no you don't! (He blasts fire at the hovercraft, but hits the roof of a tower instead.)
Pythor: Gotta run! Toodly do!
(Zane blasts ice at the roof to extinguish the fire.)
Lloyd: Please tell me you didn't just set fire to that tower.
Kai: Well, um ...
Cole: Ugh. They're gonna add another twenty years to our sentence.
Jay: We're gonna be older than Master Wu when we get out of this prison.
Zane: I won't. I am a Nindroid. I do not age, but the rest of you will.
Roof Guard: Hold it right there! Nobody move.
(The ninja put up their hands in defeat.)
