The Space Rovers -- "Milex's Revenge -- Part 2" The Canius Minor was leaving the Jurrassian planet's atmosphere, Milex's ship had already gone to warp and was barely still in sensor range. The scene on the bridge and in the engineering section of the Canius Minor is frantic. PERSIA (into mic): MOLLY, WE NEED WARP SPEED NOW! MOLLY (on speaker): Captain! We can't just start up our warp engines like that! When we landed on Jurrassia, all of the engines were shut down, if we try to start them up cold like this, they'll blow apart! PERSIA (into mic): How long before our warp engines can be restarted successfully? MOLLY (on speaker): Even if we push the restart routine to the limit, about five minutes... WHITEY (pointing to his monitor): Captain, we do not have that kind of time, even now Milex's vessel is nearly out of scanning range PERSIA (into mic): Molly, we have to go to warp! We're the only hope that King Rhinon and Prime Minister Roberto have for rescue. FLASH (on speaker): I have an idea! Can y'all determine the course that the alien ship is taking? SAUNDRA (looking at her console): Yes, it's heading in a southernly direction, it's flight path is a straight line, no deviations PERSIA (into mic): Flash, what are you thinking? FLASH (on speakers): While our warp engines are warming up, we can use the wormhole generator to catch up or even overtake Milex's ship! MOLLY (on speakers): Nyet! That's crazy! We don't know what's out there! We could be space jumping into a star or a black hole, or a nebula, or.. DAISY (on speakers): We have Ensign Bob here, and he's looking at one of the starmaps the Jurrassian have given us. He and I have selected an area of deep space to jump into, which is safe from space hazzards MOLLY (on speakers): Nyet, you brainy bloodhounds, this is too dangerous! PERSIA (into mic): Lt Molotov, I AM in command, I will determine if their plan is too dangerous or not! IS THAT CLEAR? MOLLY (sadly): Yes, ma'am! PERSIA (into mic): I'm sending Whitey down to engineering to assist you, Flash, Daisy, Molly, perpare the Canius Minor for wormhole travel! ALEXANDER (looking at Persia): Captain, what if they're wrong and we fly the ship into a star or slam it into a planet on the other side... PERSIA (standing up): Old man, don't worry, I'd trust those two bloodhounds with my life! And don't forget, Ensign Bob knows this region of space, and we owe it to him to do our best to save his father! (into mic): Molly, status report! MOLLY (on speaker): Captain, two minutes till our warp drive can be restarted, we're ready now to activate the wormhole generator! PERSIA (into mic): DO IT!! Saundra, Boomer, stand by to pilot this ship through the wormhole, Jake, continue scanning, don't lose Milex! CACTUS JAKE (sitting at Whitey's station): Aye, Aye, Captain! The wormhole generator opens a shining, glimmering wormhole directly in front of the vessel, the Canius Minor slowly moves through it to the other side. PERSIA (turning to Cactus Jake): JAKE! What is the present position of Milex's ship? JAKE (smiling): Yee Haw!!!! We're in front of them now! They'll be here in one minute if they maintain present course and speed! PERSIA (into mic): MOLLY, prepare thrusters for a quick zeta movement, and get our invisibilty shield up NOW!!! ALEXANDER (smiling): Duck and cover? That's brilliant, Captain! PERSIA (smiling): Yes, old man, I learned this move from a very good friend of mine.... ALEXANDER (smiling): I'll bet I know who that was! MOLLY (on speaker): We're invisible and moving downward! PERSIA (into mic) Excellent work, Molly! Now, as soon as you can, get those warp engines up! JAKE (shouting): Hang on to your hats, y'all! Here he comes! The bridge crew look nervously at the front viewing screen as Milex's ship approached and within a second, passed by the invisible Canius Minor. PERSIA (into mic): Daisy, Flash, Bob! You're calculations were right on the mark! MOLLY (on speakers): Captain, the warp engines are back online now! PERSIA (shouting): Saundra, match Milex's vessel's course and speed! Boomer, engage! BOOMER (smiling): Aye Aye, Captain! JAKE (looking at console): That little desperado is still moving! Same course and speed! SAUNDRA (smiling): But now we're keeping up with them! BRUNO: Captain, I'm picking up a message from Milex! He's using some sort of scrambling technique so the message can't be traced to it's origin. The message is being directed at the Queen of Jurrassia! PERSIA: Put it on the main viewer! MILEX (on the front viewing screen): Greetings, my Queen! By now you've probably guessed that I have both Roberto and your husband hostage on my ship! If you ever want to see them alive again, I want two hundred kilobars of gold bullion! I will wait five minutes for your answer, if I hear nothing of you before the time elaspes, I'll personally throw both of them out of an airlock! Milex out! BRUNO: I have another transmission on a coded scrabbled frequency, it's Commander Zeldor from Jurrassia! PERSIA: On screen! ZELDOR (look of relief on his face): Captain Persia! What is your status? PERSIA (smiling): Thanks to some quick thinking, we are pursuing Milex's ship! He haven't detected us yet because we are invisible. ZELDOR (smiling): You and your crew never cease to amaze me! You no doubt heard Milex's ultimatum, what shall we do? PERSIA (grinning): I have a plan! Tell your Queen to send a message agreeing to his terms, and tell Milex that the Space Rovers will be delivering the ransom, since the Canius Minor was the only vessel that had survived his first attack! ZELDOR (confused): Persia? What is your plan? How will you ..... PERSIA (interrupting): There's no time to explain, trust me, Zeldor, convince the Queen to trust me also! I know what I'm doing! ZELDOR (soberly): Alright, Captain Persia, we have little choice, the Degalo and my other space vessels are still under repair. Good luck, my friend! Zeldor out! PERSIA (turns to Alexander): Old man, you have the com. Bruno, tell Whitey, Numbia, and Poncho to meet me in five minutes in briefing room four. Grunt, you're with me! Continue to follow Milex and monitor all of his transmissions, report any changes to me immediately! Grunt, let's go! ALEXANDER (sternly): Captain, just what are you planning to do? PERSIA (smiling): Old man, ever hear of the Trojan Horse? The scene changes to Milex's ship, Milex is sitting in a 'captain's chair' surrounded by his loyal dinosaur followers, most of whom were raptors. There were a few T-Rex's and two stegasauruses on board, all of whom were guarding the two prisoners: King Rhinon and Roberto. Donal, a female stegasaurus, is monitoring the communication array. MILEX (grinning): I LOVE IT!!! What a great PLAN!! My enemies are serevely disabled and soon, we'll all be rich! Donal, any messages from Jurrassia yet? DONAL (looking at her console): No sir! Wait... the Queen is replying! She agrees to your terms, and says the Space Rovers have the only operational space vessel in the region, so they will be delivering the ransom! MILEX (thinking): The Space Rovers? PERSIA!!!!! We can't have her reading my mind again! Tell the Queen we agree, ONLY IF Persia stays on board her ship. Let her crew deliver the gold to me! DONAL (looking at her console); Message sent, I'm receiving a reply, they agree! MILEX (smiling): Alright then! Tell them to have the Space Rovers meet us on Bhutia Four in one earth hour. There we will make the exchange, or at least, they THINK we'll make the exchange! DOANL (looking at Milex): So, that's why you don't want Persia there! MILEX (evil grin): You're catching on well, Donal! And since the Rovers are still on Jurrassia, we'll have plenty of time to set up our little surprise! The scene shifts back to the bridge of the Canius Minor, Bruno intercepts all of the messages being exchanged between Milex and Jurrassia, and sends them to Persia in briefing room four. ALEXANDER (into mic): Alexander to Persia, did you get all of that? PERSIA (on speakers): Yes, I'll be returning to the bridge shortly, have Saundra plot a course to Bhutia Four and have Boomer engage course at warp nine! ALEXANDER (into mic): Captain, do we want to be the first to arrive there? PERSIA (on speaker): Yes, old man, it's all a part of my plan! We'll stay in orbit there and quickly scan the planet's surface. This will give us the advantage! ALEXANDER (into mic): But where will you come up with all of that gold? PERSIA (on speakers): I've got that covered, old man, trust me! The 'invisible' Canius Minor speeds past Milex's ship unnoticed and quickly goes into orbit around Bhutia Four. Minutes later, Milex's ship lands on the planet's surface. The planet Bhutia Four is very arrid, rocky, and has little vegetation at all. The place Milex choses to land is flat, and is flanked only by a very tall rise approximately a quarter mile to the east. Directly to the south of them is a large fresh water lake. Persia and Alexander decide to land the Canius Minor on a rise about a mile to the west of Milex's vessel. Boomer makes a perfect four point landing at the designated location, still invisible and undetected by Milex and his troops. The first part of Persia's plan goes into action. Boomer and Lao Zi take off in a shuttlecraft flying very low behind the Canius Minor and around the planet. The scene shifts to Milex's ship, Donal is scanning space for any sign of the Canius Minor. DONAL: MILEX! I'm picking up a space vessel, it's small, not the Canius Minor. MILEX (smiling): So, they're only sending a shuttlecraft! That's great, as long as Persia is not on board, open a channel. DONAL: Channel open, sir! MILEX: Unindentified vessel, you have better be from the Canius Minor, you better have my gold and you better not have Persia on board or else you'll get to watch me kill King Phinon and his poor excuse for a Prime Minister! BOOMER (on speaker): This is Lt Commander Boomer of the Canius Minor, we have met all of your conditions, we request permission to land and make the exchange. MILEX (laughing): You're asking me for permission? You Space Rovers sure are polite! Permission granted! Land no more than 500 furlongs from my ship, but NO CLOSER! Bring the gold with you, I will wait no more than ten of your earth minutes, and NO TRICKS or two dionsaurs will DIE! BOOMER (on speaker): No tricks, we will be there, Boomer out! As Milex and his troops watch the shuttlecraft land, a small band of Space Rovers sneak around to encircle the evil alien's ship undetected. On the southern perimeter are Orchid, Su Li and Claudia, all carrying very large laser rifles and backpacks. Meanwhile, Lao Zi, using his great mental powers, creates a huge illusion of twenty Space Rovers all walking with him and Boomer. They are both carrying a huge open crate with them, and come to a stop a short distance from where Milex and six of his soldiers are standing. BOOMER (shouting): Before we give all of this to you, we all want to see the King and Roberto! MILEX (evil grin): No don't trust me, do you? Very well. Bring the prisoners out here, let's all be one big happy family! Two of Milex's soldiers bring the King and Roberto out of the ship, but both are wearing leg shackles connected to huge iron balls which the two captive dinosaurs struggle to drag behind them. BOOMER (pointing at them): Set them lose before we give you this gold! MILEX (shaking his head): Now now, it's time for YOU to show some trust. I'll examine your gold now, to make sure that this is no clever Space Rover trick! Glidar, Breema, bring that crate of their's to me NOW! Two of Milex's soldiers easily lift the huge crate over to where Milex and Doral are standing. Donal produces a large black device that she uses to scan it. DONAL (looking at her scanner): Lord Milex, there are two hundred bars of Jurrassian grade gold in that crate, I also detected a number of small insects.... MILEX (interrupting): That will do, Donal. So, you have indeed delivered my gold! Although you did bring it in a bug-infested wooden crate. Well, I'll overlook that part of it. Gildar, Breema, take the crate inside, we have what we came for! BOOMER (shouting): Now, keep your end of the deal! Release Roberto and King Rhinon! MILEX (laughing): Oh yes, I almost forgot! Never let it be said that the mighty Lord Milex is unfair. GIVE THEM WHAT THEY'VE ASKED FOR! In a split second, all of Milex's troops point their weapons and fire at the Space Rovers. Boomer immediately grabs Lao Zi and zips away just in time. The two Space Rovers hide behind a nearby rock pile, Lao Zi continues to concentrate on his illusion, making it appear that the entire company of Road Rovers had been killed. As the dust clears, Milex and the others grin and point at all of the 'fallen' Space Rovers lying motionless on the ground. MILEX (laughing): See! What did I tell you? The earth furballs are SO trusting! Now we have the King, the Prime Minister, and ALL of that precious gold! DONAL (walking up to Milex): Lord Milex, do we leave now? MILEX (looking angry): LEAVE NOW? NO! There's no doubt that Persia will attempt to rescue their allies, we'll wait here and when they arrive, we'll deestroy them as well! I WANT TOTAL REVENGE!!!! Take all of the guards, make a defensive circlement of our ship, no doubt those clever furballs may attempt to take us by surprise! As Milex's troops fan out into their positions, they leave the crate full of gold unguarded. Two small insects crawl out of the crate unto the floor. The two insects begin to 'grow.' It's Numbia and Poncho, set for phase two of Persia's plan. NUMBIA (looking at the control panel): Poncho, we have to disable their weapons and scanners quickly! PONCHO (pointing): Si, Numbia, but how do we get up to the top of that huge central control panel? We ain't got no mountain climbing gear! NUMBIA (smiling): Time to take Air Numbia! Numbia immediately shapeshifts into a giant eagle, grabs Poncho by the shoulders, and flys to the top of the control panel. Using her huge sharp claws, Numbia pulls the metal panel apart and begins slicing the wiring up. Poncho directs Numbia on what wires to cut to knock out only the weapons and scanners. When they are finished, Numbia morphs into a robin and Poncho shrinks himself small enough to ride on her back. They quietly fly out the open front door unnoticed. Meanwhile, on the southern perimeter, Milex's troops are looking all around for any signs of the Space Rovers. Orchid, Su Li and Claudia move quietly from one positon to the next, keeping out of the enemy's line of sight. As they move to find yet another 'hiding place', Claudia trips on a large root and falls to the ground. She is immediately spotted by one of Milex's guards and captured by Glidar and Breema, the twin T-Rex's. GILDAR (holding Claudia up by her tail): Hey Breema, is this one of them Space Rovers? BREEMA (looking at Claudia): Yup, this is one of them! Let's each grab a leg and make a wish! The scene switches aboard the still invisible Canius Minor, to the classroom area where Calypso and Fydo are trying to keep all of the children occupied by showing them all educational videos. Fydo sets the main screen but accidently accesses the ship's scanner array and displays Claudia in the clutches of Milex's evil troops. CALYPSO (shouting): FYDO!! That not be the correct program! FYDO (growling): Claudia is in trouble! I have to save her! CALYPSO (shouting): Fydo, don't be foolish, mon! Come back here, NOW! Fydo runs out of the classroom, grabs a standard Road Rover missle launcher and runs outside. Meanwhile, Claudia comes up with a great idea. CLAUDIA (crying her eyes out): DO ANYTHING TO ME, BUT PLEASE DON'T THROW ME INTO THAT LAKE OVER THERE! I FEAR WATER, I'D DROWN! PLEASE DON'T THROW ME INTO THE LAKE! Gildar and Breema giggle, look at each other, and then at Claudia. GILDAR (laughing): Thanks for the free advice, mammal! BREEMA (holding her in his huge hand): Say hello to all the fish for me! Breema tosses Claudia high into the air and snicker as she lands in the middle of the lake. Claudia splashes violently and screams out for help. Within a minute's time, Claudia goes under the waterline and stays there. GILDAR (laughing outloud): WOW!!! That was SO fun! BREEMA (laughing outloud): Yeah! Let's ask Milex if we can drown ALL those furballs that way! It's very entertaining! Waiting a few minutes for the two soldiers to walk away, Claudia came out of the lake smiling. CLAUDIA (to herself): These lizards may be big on muscle, but small on brains! Persia and all the other security team members take positons surrounding Milex's vessel. PERSIA (whipsering to Alexander): Old man, I didn't think they'd be this many soldiers! What would you suggest we do? ALEXANDER (whispering back): We have no choice, Captain. See, they left King Rhinon and Roberto outside the ship, it's the logical place to attack! As the two officers were discussing a plan, they are spotted by one of Milex's troops. MILEX (shouting): There they are! Right in front of our faces! Open fire! They won't fire back for fear that they'll shoot the King! All of the dinosaur troops gather in front of Milex and fire relentlessly all around Persia and Alexander. PERSIA (ducking down): Old Man, we're in deep trouble now! ALEXANDER (ducking down): We'd need a miracle to save ourselves now, let alone the King and Roberto! Ensign Bob immediately transforms into a full sized brontosaurus, but is 'pinned down' by constant laser fire. Even Grunt is trapped behind a pile of rocks, unable to move. Meanwhile, running down a slightly sloped path is Fydo, carrying his missle laucher on his shoulders. He stands unnoticed while the 'firefight' is going on, he takes his missle launcher and aims it, completely unaware of the fact that he's holding it BACKWARDS and on FULL THRUST. FYDO (aiming): This one's for you, Claudia, my love! Fydo fires, but the missle flys out behind him and smacks into a nearby rock formation, exploding and causing giantic boulders to begin rolling down the sloped pathway towards Milex's vessel. The 'kick' of the misfired missle launcher sends it flying through the air at a high rate of speed. It lands with a loud smack on Milex's head, causing the huge T-Rex to fall backwards to the ground, rubbing his eyes in pain. Persia and Alexander watch as the giant boulders roll swiftly towards where all of Milex's guards are standing. They try to escape, but are soon trampled by the stampeding array of large rocks, knocking all of them unconscience. Boomer and Lao Zi, who are nearest to the 'action', can't believe their eyes and call the Captain. BOOMER (excited): Captain, you never told us about this part of your plan! PERSIA (into mic): No, Boomer, this wasn't a part of my plan! I don't know what just happened, but let's take advantage of this turn of luck! Whitey, Sophia, hurry and secure all of Milex's men! WHITEY (on speaker): We know what to do, Captain! SOPHIA (on speaker): Aye Aye, Captain, Air Sophia taking off! Sophia carries Whitey in the air and lands near some of the fallen dinosaurs. Whitey quickly takes the boulders and forms them into heavy leg shackles and places them on their arms and legs. Sophia continues to carry Whitey all around the fallen dinosaurs until all of them but Milex were wearing very heavy shackles. As they flew over to Milex, the mighty T-Rex stood up, furious as he saw all of his troops on the ground and helpless. MILEX (roaring): WHO DARES ATTACK LORD MILEX IN THE FACE!!!! Milex looks down and sees Fydo in the distance lying on the ground motionless, he raises his huge foot to stomp him and watches Boomer rush over and grab him away at the last second. Enraged, Milex grabs a laser rifle off of the ground and points it at the King and Roberto MILEX (screaming): You may have defeated me, but I'll have the last laugh as I kill these two myself! Bob pounces on Milex, knocking the rifle out of his hands as the two huge dinosaurs roll around on the ground. Milex manages to punch Bob in the head, and then throws Bob over his shoulder. Milex then grabs a laser rifle and attempts to fire it, it appears to be jammed so he tosses it away. Bob is totally enraged and shouts out "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As he screams out, his body begins to glow brightly and grows even larger. PERSIA (calls out to Abdullah): What's happening to Bob, is he going to shrink back down to size? ABDULLAH (shouting back): No, Captain, I can't explain this! Ensign Bob is growing even larger than before! Perhaps his adrenaline level is causing it, he's very angry right now! As Milex searches for another laser rifle on the ground, Bob attempts to stomp on him with his huge front feet. Milex screams out in fear, and runs frantically away, and is pursued by Bob, who is now five times larger than he is. The ground shakes and quakes as Bob runs in front of Milex, knocking him down. Bob raises his front foot, ready to stomp Milex flat. BOB (booming voice): YOU TRIED TO KILL MY FATHER AND MY KING!!! NOW, IT'S MY TURN!!!! PERSIA (shouting out): BOB, NO!!!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!! REMEMBER THE DINOSAUR CODE!!! BOB (booming voice): I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE CODE! MILEX HAS BROKEN THE CODE MANY TIMES, NOW IT ALL ENDS!!!!! PERSIA (shouting out): ENSIGN BOB, YOU ARE A MEMBER OF MY CREW! MEMBERS OF MY CREW DON'T KILL!!!!! I ORDER YOU TO STOP THIS NOW!!! Milex nearly faints as he watches Bob's huge foot coming towards him, but landing only a few feet away from his head. BOB (booming voice, sadly): YOU ARE CORRECT, CAPTAIN. I WILL OBEY! BRUNO (calling Persia on her comm): Captain, we have a message from Commander Zeldor, he says the Degalo is on it's way here! PERSIA (relieved): That Zeldor! He got his ship back together! Somehow, I knew he would! Whitey, secure Milex like you did the others! WHITEY (smiling): It'll be my pleasure, Captain! PERSIA (looking around): Old man, what caused that advanalache? ALEXANDER (pointing at Fydo): It's not WHAT, it's WHO! PERSIA (confused): Cadet Fydo? ALEXANDER (sadly): He's unconscience now, we've sent for Doctor Sheena! CACTUS JAKE (picking up Fydo's missle launcher): Lookee here, Captain! This is what Fydo used to cause that wild stampede of boulders! PERSIA (looking all around): OK, crew! Let's clean up this mess! Whitey, when you're done with Milex, change that crate of gold in Milex's ship back into rocks, I'm sure Cadet Derby wants his rock collection returned to him immediately! WHITEY (smiling): Aye aye, Captain! PERSIA (worried): Where's Numbia and Poncho? PONCHO (walking out of Milex's ship) I'm here, Captain! The rifle that Milex threw to the ground begins to move, and changes back into Numbia NUMBIA (staggering): Now I know what a hand grenade feels like! PERSIA (shouting out): TO THE POWER OF THE PACK!! All the Rovers howl in unison. The scene shifts to Persia's office on the Canius Minor, two hours later. She is busy recording another log entry. PERSIA (into mic): Captain's log, supplemental. Our mission to rescue King Rhinon and Prime Minister Roberto was successful. We are currently on route to return to Jurrassia to attend the remainder of the ceremony. On board the Canius Minor, the mood is jubilant and happy. Cadet Fydo's selfless actions saved the day, as well as Ensign Bob's capture of the evil Milex. Most of the crew has gathered in the lounge to celebrate our victory. I will be joining them soon with a surprise announcement of my own. The scene shifts to the lounge of the Canius Minor. Calypso is serving up bowls of water and personally bring one over to where Fydo, Claudia and Sheena are sitting together. Fydo's head is wrapped in a huge gauze bandage, except for his face. Everyone that passes by their table shakes Fydo's hand. SHEENA (looking at Fydo): How'ya feelin', mate? FYDO (looking sad): I don't know, Dr Sheena. I don't deserve any of this .... CLAUDIA (interrupting): You're the hero of the day! I'm SO PROUD OF YOU!!! SHEENA (smiling): You should be in bed, Fydo, but the Captain asked me to bring you here now. CLAUDIA (pointing): Look, there's the Captain on the stage! All eyes shift to Captain Persia as she steps unto the stage. You could here a pin drop as she stood behind the podium to speak. PERSIA (on PA system): My fellow Space Rovers, I am very, very proud of every one of you for your performances during our latest mission! However, there are two individual members of our crew that I would like to recognize for their outstanding service. Ensign Bob, Cadet Fydo, Flash and Daisy will you please come up to the stage? The other Rovers cheer as all four come forward, Claudia and Sheena have to help Fydo up. PERSIA (on PA system): Flash, Daisy, your techonilogical acheivements speak for themselves, nearly every system on this vessel exists due to your genius, but today, with your exact calculations and correct settings on your wormhole generator, you gave us the chance we needed to save our Jurrassian friends. Since you two are civilians, I can only offer you each a medal of commendation for your excellent work! The other Rovers cheer and clap loudly. PERSIA (on PA system): Ensign Bob, you have once again proven to be a very valuable asset to this crew! In recognition for your help in our 'wormhole' jump as well as capturing Milex, I hereby promote you to the field rank of Leiutenant and award you this commendation! On behave of the Space Rovers, we salute you, Leiutenant Bob! The other Rovers cheer and clap loudly. PERSIA (on PA system): Cadet Fydo, you almost singlehandly led to the defeat of Milex and his forces. Your bravery, heroism and cleverness are a shining example for all of us to follow. I hereby promote you to the field rank of Ensign and award you this well deserved commendation. On behave of the Space Rovers, we all salute you! The other Rovers cheer and clap, all of the Rover children run upon the stage and surround him, cheering and hugging him gently. PERSIA (talking to Fydo): When you have fully recovered, I want you to report to Lt. Grunt, I'm transferring you to the Security Department. FYDO (looking up to Persia sadly): Captain, with all due respect, I want to stay with Calypso and the children... please? The children all look sadly at Persia, causing her to smile. PERSIA: I admire your loyalty, very well, Ensign Fydo, you may stay on as Calypso's teaching assistant, but instead of working in the lounge in your off-time, you will spend that time with Lt Grunt in the security department. The Rover children cheer and shout at this bit of good news. FYDO (smiling): Thank you, Captain. But who will help Calypso in the lounge? PERSIA (smiling): Don't worry, Ensign, I have already assigned her a new, permantant lounge assistant On the other side of the lounge, Calypso is standing behind the bar handing out bowls of kibble and water. CALYPSO (shouting): NOW, BE SURE TO CLEAN DOSE TOILETS SO CLEAN, WE CAN DRINK OUT OF THEM! AND WHEN YOU FINISH IN DER, I BE HAVING MORE THINGS FOR YOU TO DO! NOW, YOU STEP TO IT, GIRL! Walking towards the restroom area with two buckets in her hands...... is Dot. DOT (grumbling): Yes, ma'am -----------------------------------------------------------------------
