Power Rangers Ninja Storm

Announcer:
Deep in the mountains, secret ninja academies train our future protectors; ancient scrolls told of three who would be chosen above the others - three who would become...

Voices:
[opening theme song] Go, Power Rangers! Go, Ninja Storm!

[repeated line, preceding every Wind Power Ranger transformation]

Wind Rangers:
Ninja Storm! Ranger form!

[repeated line, preceding every monster enlargement]

Various Evil Characters:
Scroll of Empowerment, descend!

[repeated line, preceding every Thunder Power Ranger transformation]

Thunder Rangers:
Thunder Storm! Ranger form!

[repeated line, preceding every Green Ranger transformation]

Cam:
Samurai Storm! Ranger form!

Cam:
[discovering Hunter searching through the grass] Lose something?

Hunter:
[startled] Huh?

[Hunter flips Cam onto his back before realizing who it is]

Cam:
Whoa!

Hunter:
Hyah!

Cam:
[sighs] You have GOT to lay off the caffeine.

Lothor:
Go, but make sure I know exactly when the attack is to occur. I want to set the VCR on the viewer.

Lothor:
I don't trust that fish as far as I can smell him.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
It appears a power struggle is at play in Lothor's lair.

Dustin:
Isn't that a good ting? I mean, maybe they'll just keep fighting each other until no one's left.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
That is possible, Dustin, but I suspect Lothor has an even more sinister plot in mind.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
I understand that sometimes your loss is difficult to accept, but what's done is done. You can never go back in time.

Dustin:
Not without a scroll or something.

Lothor:
I hear you were after quite a prize down there.

Vexacus:
Only to enhance my plan to defeat the Rangers.

Lothor:
I hope so... for you sake.

Tori:
Be careful, Cam.

Cam:
Why does everyone keep telling me that?

Lothor:
That too-smart-for-his-own-good nephew of mine is up to something again.

Vexacus:
You must be so proud.

Vexacus:
Might I suggest launching another attack with my Condor Tron.

Lothor:
Brilliant idea! Glad I thought of it.

Lothor:
Nephew!

Cam:
Huh?

Lothor:
So nice to have family drop by. Why don't you stay - forever?

Lothor:
Who told you you could destroy my number one general?

Vexacus:
Forgive me, but I thought you'd be pleased.

Choobo:
Huh?

Vexacus:
A mighty warrior such as you deserves a mighty general at his side. Zurgane had done nothing but fail you.

Lothor:
I suppose that's true. - and I did say it was his last chance.

Vexacus:
So, in the end, I did you a favor.

Lothor:
Even so, in the future you will not destroy my men without my direct orders!

Sensei Guinea Pig:
The time has come to face the enemy proactively.

Hunter:
Let him go, you docile dufus!

Motodrone:
You will suffer great conseqences if you fail to obey Lothor again.

Vexacus:
And who's going to make me? You?

Motodrone:
If those are my orders.

Vexacus:
Well, I think Zurgane had some orders like that once, and look what happened to him. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Lothor:
Isn't there anyone here who's good at being bad?

Lothor:
Littering! The most underrated of intergalactic crimes.

Beevil:
You wanna rumble with the bumble?

[In their apparent distresses, Marah and Dustin crosses paths]

Marah:
[alarmed, recognizing Dustin as her enemy] You're...

Dustin:
Dustin. Do I know you? You look familiar.

Marah:
I get that a lot. You've seen one airhead, you've seen them all.

Dustin:
I know how you feel.

Marah:
You do?

Dustin:
Yeah, people think I'm a space case, too, but... you can't listen to them. As long as you're a good person, that's what really counts. What's the matter?

Marah:
[crying] I'm not a good person. I'm not even a good BAD person.

Dustin:
You lost me there.

Marah:
Hello! Don't you recognize me? Maybe this'll help.

Dustin:
[alarmed as she transforms into her usual appearance] No way! You're that evil chick who's always trying to vaporize us!

Marah:
Relax. You're safe. They kicked me out 'cause I'm not evil enough.

Dustin:
Hey, that's crazy. You're, like, one of the worst people I've ever met.

Marah:
You're just saying that to make me feel better.

Dustin:
No, seriously, I'm not.

Marah:
[on the idea of becoming a Power Ranger] No, think about it. I can help you destroy my uncle. It'll be so much fun.

Dustin:
Sometimes you just gotta trust people.

Lothor:
Remind me again how a massive army of alien warriors aren't able to defeat six kids who are barely out of their feety pajamas.

Tori:
Guys, it's me.

Dustin:
But how do we know it's the real Tori?

Tori:
Your real name is Waldo, and, Shane, you're afraid of spiders.

Dustin:
Ha ha ha ha! You're afraid of spiders?

Shane:
You wanna make something of it, Waldo?

Marah:
Just look at her, so perky and athletic. I just want to bury her up to her neck in sand.

Dustin:
You know, Shane thinks you're mad at him.

Tori:
Wow, I guess that's why he gets the red suit.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
There's a difference between helping someone and deciding for them.

Lothor:
Give me a progress report on Marah and Kapri.

Zurgane:
Sir, they're still incompetent, insubordinate, badly dressed and just plain dangerous.

Tori:
I thought I recognized you two - bad hair, bad clothes, too much makeup.

Marah:
Do you really think it's too much? I mean, I have really weak pores.

Tori's Double:
Anything you can do, I can do better.

Tori:
Except pick clothes. And what is with that hair?

Tori's Double:
You think you're funny? Bring it on, girlfriend!

Lothor:
I'd called you two incompetents, but that would be restating the obvious.

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
Got something for you. I like to call it the Megazord Lightning Mode. You control it by using your inner power, but, remember, it only lasts sixty seconds.

Shane:
It takes longer to make microwave popcorn.

[first lines]

Tori:
What was THAT all about?

Shane:
Aw, some guy. Couldn't stop talking about how cute you are, how he wanted your phone number...

Tori:
Whoa-whoa-whoa. Stop. Rewind. Super cute Surfer Hottie was asking about me?

Shane:
Dude, man, it was so lame.

Tori:
And you let 'im leave?

[She punches Shane's arm]

Shane:
Hey, what was THAT for?

Tori:
I'm a girl. Girrrrrrrl.

Dustin:
Y-yeah, I-I-I-I know, but... like, you're not a GIRL girl...

Shane:
You're like a guy girl.

Dustin:
Yeah.

Kelly Halloway:
My advice for you both - stop trying to make it better, 'cause it's only getting worse.

Hunter:
I thought we were just sparring!

Shane:
Hey, if you can't keep up, we can get my sister over here.

Hunter:
Ho. You're straight comedy, Shane.

Hunter:
I gotta beat this guy. I don't care what I have to do.

Blake:
My advice to you - get a stunt double.

Lothor:
Isn't it just like you two to send a mumble-mouthed marsupial to battle the defenders of the galaxy?

Lothor:
That's it! The next person who uses a made-up word has to put a dollar in the made-up word jar.

Sensei:
They must both learn that the best quality of a leader is to understand when to be a follower.

Shane:
You're toast, dirt boy.

Lothor:
[as Marah and Kapri work out with personal trainer Bopp-A-Roo] I'm bored. We need a plan. I'm takin' suggestions.

Marah:
I know. The Rangers - put them in a class with Bopp-A-Roo. They'd never last an hour.

Lothor:
[taking interest] Was that an actual idea that came from that pocket of air between your ears?

Shane:
Hey, we're trying to learnify with great knowledgeness.

Tori:
What?

Hunter:
Oh, we're starting to hang together better.

Shane:
Hey! Mind if we put in a few hot laps?

Motodrone:
Be my guest, but be prepared to eat dirt!

Kapri:
[to Zurgane] For someone who doesn't have a mouth, you sure talk a lot.

Hunter:
Who are you?

Motodrone:
The perfect melding of man and technology.

Hunter:
You're crazy!

Motodrone:
Yes, but that's the fun of it!

Zurgane:
[finding Motodrone's severe arm] Ah, my new recruit.

Zurgane:
I'm afraid it doesn't work, sir.

Lothor:
You have an uncanny grasp of the obvious, General.

Blake:
[walking in on Perry's shop] Perry!

Perry:
[startled] Huh!

Blake:
We been lookin' for ya.

Perry:
[fearful] Wh-what're you guys doing here?

Hunter:
You ever thought about hooking up with a team. We'd go pretty far, the three of us. Working together.

[Hunter knocks down a wrench]

Blake:
Uh... sorry.

Perry:
I'm pretty busy at the moment working on some special project. Projects that could revolutionize the motorcycle industry, heh.

Hunter:
Look, we promise not to take up all your time.

Perry:
I-I-I... I can't. I'm sorry.

Blake:
Come on, Perry. It's not pretty when Hunter starts to beg. Don't let it come to that.

Lothor:
[observing Motodrome mopping backlots with the Power Rangers] Zurgane.

Zurgane:
Sir.

Lothor:
Could it be that one of your aliens is good at something other than taking up space?

Zurgane:
Eh! He's not from my army.

Kapri:
Ooo.

Lothor:
Well, that seems to make a little more sense.

Tori:
Where are you going in such a hurry?

Blake:
[obviously pressed for time] Um... nowhere, eh...

Tori:
Do you want to go riding after work, maybe?

Blake:
Nah, I got lots of work to do and, uh... uh, I'll just... I'll see you later, all right?

[Lothor's horde is reviewing footage of their past Ranger battles]

Zurgane:
[as Choobo laughs] What's so funny?

Choobo:
You lose as much as I do.

Zurgane:
At least I'm still a general!

Shimazu:
In my day a general had to EARN his rank!

Motodrone:
In YOUR day they fought with wooden sticks and horses!

Lothor:
Now the child's play is over and the real devastation can begin.

Lothor:
There's too many generals and not enough soldiers around here.

Lothor:
This is too painful to watch!

Kapri:
[an announcement] We're tired of being losers.

Lothor:
[stunned] I'm sorry? Say that again?

Marah:
Okay, so we're sick of being the joke of the evil space ninja community.

Kapri:
Yeah, and we have a plan. A plan to get rid of the Power Rangers once and for all.

Lothor:
You do?

Kapri:
We do.

Lothor:
Well, so do I, and here it is.

[Lothor puts a cage around his nieces]

Choobo:
[as the other generals laugh] Finally.

Kapri:
This wasn't part of the plan.

Lothor:
I'm tired of babysitting. The time has come to be serious. Unfortunately, that word and you two simply do not go together. Now sit there and be quiet while we try to figure out how to salvage some dignity for ourselves.

Lothor:
Do you think high-ranking evil ninja officers simply grow on trees?

Kapri:
You didn't REALLY think we're as dumb as we act, now did you? I mean, come on, no one could be THAT idiotic.

Marah:
We've been pretending this whole time. The whole thing's been a lie, all leading up to this point.

Kapri:
You see, we've been working on a little project. It's taken a year to complete, and now it's finally ready.

Marah:
We're gonna take over Uncle's ship, and you're gonna help us.

Hunter:
All I know is there's clean racing and dirty racing - and what he did was definitely dirty.

Tori:
[with Hunter and Blake at odds] Maybe we should lock them in Ninja Ops and let them fight it out.

Shane:
Ha-ha, yeah, I'd pay to see that!

Sensei Guinea Pig:
Blake, Hunter, remember: Whatever differences you may have right now, you MUST put them aside when performing your Ranger duties.

Blake:
I will if he does.

Hunter:
Don't worry about ME, dude.

Kapri:
Well, there they are, all my least favorite colors.

Dustin:
Ho-ho-ho, now it's ON!

Cam:
[seeing Blake and Hunter bicker] Sometimes I'm so glad I'm an only child.

Kapri:
You ready to toast these teenagers?

Shimazu:
All sequences prepared to fire!

Marah:
It's good to be bad.

Shimazu:
Your plan failed!

Kapri:
Yeah, well, at least we HAD a plan. What do YOU have?

Marah:
Besides an escape route, that is.

Shimazu:
How DARE you!

Kapri:
You don't like the way we're talking to you?

Shimazu:
No. I don't.

Marah:
Well, we can fix that.

Kapri:
No problem.

Kapri:
[to Marah] Shall we?

Marah:
We shall.

Shimazu:
Ehh! Ho! No, I didn't mean it.

Vexacus:
Sir, I must report a breech in protocol. Your nieces have constructed Zords of their own and are currently battling the Rangers.

Lothor:
That's impossible!

Vexacus:
It's true, sir. And not only that, but my intelligence tells me they've been faking this whole time!

Lothor:
Faking? Whadda you mean "faking?"

Vexacus:
They're not the blithering fools they would have us believe. They're actually quite evil and rather vicious.

Lothor:
I knew it. NO ONE could be that stupid.

Blake:
What's up? You don't look so good.

Shane:
Yeah, I just found out my big brother's coming to town.

Blake:
Yeah, that'd bum me out, too.

Hunter:
Hey.

Motodrone:
This is Eyesaac, the most terrifying monster in your army.

Lothor:
Scary, but looks aren't everything.

Motodrone:
The collar of nightmares forces his victims to see their worst fears.

Motodrone:
Rangers, let me help you face your fears.

Shane:
[now that his brother's discovered he's a Ranger] For the first time in our lives he respects me.

Sensei:
I am sure he respects you for more than just the fact that you are a Power Ranger.

Shane:
Hey, no offense, Sensei, but you really don't know my brother at all.

Sensei:
And how well do YOU know your brother?

Sensei:
Remember, you have nothing to fear but fear itself.

Cam:
Check this out!

Shane:
[A new Power Disc appears at his cockpit] Sweet!

Hunter:
[A new Power Disc appears at his cockpit] Alright.

[Cam summons his own new Power Disc]

Shane, Hunter & Cam:
Power Disc... locked... & dropped!

[The Power Spheres that each Megazord unleashes are revealed to be a bird-like 3-piece Power Sphere - a Power Sphere revealed only when two or more Power Spheres join their contents together as those Power Spheres are part of a special 'set']

Shane:
What is it?

Cam:
The Ninja Firebird - it will enable us to form one Megazord.

Shane:
[While the other Rangers are calling out random words, phrases or exclamations in delight in the background] Awesome!

Cam:
Initiating Hurricane Megazord!

[The Storm, Thunder and Samurai Star Megazords start a combination sequence via the powers of the three-Power-Sphere-formed Ninja Firebird]

Wind, Thunder & Green Samurai Rangers:
[Now the full team has teleported to a team cockpit]: Hurricane Megazord!

Dustin:
Holy guacamole!

Shane:
You know, your opinion is important to me. I just wish we coulda seen eye to eye... without the eye thing.

Porter:
Listen, Shane, Mom and Dad are a little worried about you.

Shane:
Well, whadda you mean?

Porter:
Well, Shane, you're not a kid anymore. Okay, you're growing up and we're all kind of wondering what's next.

Shane:
Next?

Porter:
Well, you know it's-it's a big world out there. Have you made ANY plans at all for what you're gonna do for the rest of your life?

Shane:
Yeah, well, I've been kind of busy lately.

Porter:
That's what I was afraid of.

Shane:
Look, it's not what you think, okay?

Porter:
I THINK you should spend a little less time skateboarding and a lot more time focusing on what's important in life.

Shane:
You mean what's important to you.

Porter:
I didn't make the rules. I just follow them.

Shane:
Yeah, well, I don't. I can't believe you would come over here and start bagging on me when you have no idea what I've been going through.

Porter:
SO TELL ME!

Porter:
[after a pause] I can't.

Dustin:
Hey, you guys ever wonder why the sky is blue and not, like, see-through?

Tori:
No.

Hunter:
Not me.

Dustin:
'Cause, I mean, it's just air, right? It should be see-through. You ever wonder about that?

Shane:
Uh, Dustin, I'm the air guy. You know, "power of air?" You worry about the dirt, figure out why the dirt's brown.

Hunter:
I thought I smelled garbage.

Vexacus:
Oh, we'll see who gets trashed.

Vexacus:
You like spaghetti?

Sensei Guinea Pig:
[about Lothor] This prolonged silence can only mean one thing: he is planning his biggest attack yet.

Zurgane:
I call to order the Council of Officers. We're here to discuss my plan to destroy the Power Rangers.

Vexacus:
YOUR plan! I see. And why should anyone listen to YOUR plan?

Zurgane:
Well... because I'm, uh... eh... because it's my plan and-and because I say... you have to listen. It... it's evil Space Ninja protocol.

[general laughter]

Vexacus:
Yes, well, THERE'S a good solid answer.

Zurgane:
Silence! I demand your respect!

Vexacus:
Zurgane, Zurgane, haven't you learned by now respect is not something you demand? It's something you must earn!

Dustin:
[seeing a hiker calling out for help] Last time we stopped on the side of the road, our school got sucked into space.

Tori:
You didn't happen to pack a rope with the CD player and the laptop, did you?

Shane:
As a matter of fact, I did.

Tori:
I so did not see that coming.

Zurgane:
That's what I was hoping. ATTACK!

Tori Hanson:
[seeing the guys' fully decked-out camp site] This isn't camping. This is a resort. All you need is a water slide and a luau.

Dustin:
[brightening at the thought] That would be cool!

Dustin:
Aw, man, I haven't had that much mud in my eyes since I ran out of tear-offs last week.

Tori:
How was the shower?

Shane:
Uh, you could say it was refreshing.

Hunter:
But "cold" would be more accurate.

Vexacus:
We just came to watch your ultimate demise.

Tori:
Don't you mean "cause" our ultimate demise?

Vexacus:
Okay, I like your way better.

Zurgane:
The time has come for my ultimate plan, ha-ha. I'll pirate the Rangers' powers and use their own energies against them. I'll show them all! AH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!

Cam:
Something's just not right.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
I agree. Lothor has been far too quiet.

Lothor:
[finding Vexacus and Shimazu chuckling over the view screen] What did I miss? Not one of those sit-coms, I hope.

Vexacus:
No, sir. A plan. A perfect plan that is coming together, well, uh...

Shimazu:
Perfectly?

Vexacus:
Uh, yes! Perfectly!

Lothor:
It better, because I've been reviewing your performance reports, and the truth of the matter is - you two are outta here unless things start going our way.

Zurgane:
Prepare to be destroyed!

Tori:
I thought you guys were only going camping for a few days. This is enough gear to outfit a whole city.

Hunter:
What? It's just the necessities.

Tori:
[seeing Dustin carrying... ] A TV?

Dustin:
How else were we going to watch Supercross tomorrow?

Tori:
You're not supposed to watch the supercross, Dustin. That's why it's called "roughing it."

Shane:
Yeah, well, if Man was meant to "rough it," why did he invent Portable Generator?

Zurgane:
I am preparing a weapon so powerful that the Rangers will soon be a distant footnote in the Earth's history.

Shimazu:
You girls were spying, weren't you?

Marah:
No, we weren't.

Kapri:
Uh... no, we were just, um... polishing the floor.

Marah:
Yeah, with our ears.

Vexacus:
I hope that is true, because I'm not very fond of spies.

Dustin:
[finding their campsite looted] This whole nature thing's for the birds.

Hunter:
[finding their campsite looted] We're stuck, stranded, grounded. We're the cast from Survivor.

Shane:
Haven't you heard the saying, "When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade?"

Dustin:
Well, I didn't see any lemon trees around here, and, between you and me, lemonade really isn't gonna do it for me right now.

Shane:
What's the deal?

Zurgane:
I'm back and you're through!

Zurgane:
What's the matter, Rangers? You aren't surprised, are you?

Shane:
[as Zurgane shoots a rocket at their Zord] Look out!

Zurgane:
I have another surprise for you. Power disc, locked and dropped!

Shane:
You can't use our powers against us!

Zurgane:
Ha. We'll just see about that.

Zurgane:
Never send an elephant to do an alien's job.

Zurgane:
I'm back in the saddle and I'm ready to ride.

Cam:
Zurgane's smart.

Hunter:
But we trashed his zord.

Dustin:
Even if he got out, he's got nothing.

Cam:
Something doesn't feel right. It was just too easy.

Blake:
You call THAT easy?

Shane:
Big Air's having a contest for the best sports action video.

Tori:
[taking magazine from Shane] Let's see. "The best one-minute video will be played on national television during the next Action Games."

Dustin:
Oh, sweet! I'm SO gonna win.

Shane:
Uh, don't you mean... you're so gonna come second?

Dustin:
No, dude, I mean I'm... I'm gonna win. Oh, I get it. You're calling me out!

Marah:
I wonder if we could trade these dilithium crystals for a new blow dryer.

Lothor:
What is this mess?

Marah:
Well, we've been trading space trash for Earthy treasures over the Internet.

Lothor:
I have an evil itch that needs to be scratched.

Shane:
[busting in upon Cam] Can I borrow your video camera?

Dustin:
Dude, I called in the car!

Blake:
Dustin did, man. I heard it.

Dustin:
Yesssss!

Dustin:
Can I go to the bathroom?

Cam:
No way.

Kapri:
Look, the kid's got the PAM.

Marah:
Yeah. Isn't that a Ranger with him?

Kapri:
Oh, good call. Guess that private detective training's finally paying off, huh?

Marah:
I think he's kinda cute, but orange is SO not your color.

Hunter:
I thought I was supposed to be the older, wiser one.

Blake:
You're still older.

Lothor:
I fail to see what lip gloss and face powder have to do with world domination.

Kapri:
Huh?

Marah:
Well, it worked for Britney and Christina.

Lothor:
How can you two watch this mindless drivel?

Marah:
Pretty easy, really. We just tapped into the satellite TV system, and... we got telly.

Lothor:
When I was a child, I was never allowed to watch this rot, and look how much better off I am.

Marah:
Huh?

Zurgane:
A living example of the best of mankind.

Lothor:
Hmm.

Marah:
In recent focus groups, 92% find Lothor unlikeable.

Lothor:
Unlikeable? I'll show them unlikeable!

Marah:
And boys two to eleven find Lother... somewhat disturbing.

Lothor:
Hmm. I suppose that's a start.

Shane:
Cam, you taking cooking?

Cam:
Look, Tori wanted someone to take the class with her, and Dad said I should get out more, so here I am.

Tori:
[to Blake] Why are you grinning at me like a love-sick baboon?

Cam:
Because he IS one.

Blake:
Hey!

Cam:
Go swing from a tree and let the humans have conversation.

Zurgane:
Security, escort this visitor to her doom.

Zurgane:
Sir, excellent news. We have captured the Blue Power Ranger.

Lothor:
Not now. I'm about to make my big debut.

Kelly:
[amidst a crowd of screaming girls] Lothor! Lothor! We want Lothor!

Shane:
[to Dustin and Hunter] Well, this is pure evil.

Zurgane:
Excellent, sir! Your legion is growing by the minute.

Lothor:
Just wait till the next episode when I tell them all to jump off a cliff.

Zurgane:
I'll tune in for that.

Tori:
Sensei, Lothor's plotting to brainwash the world through TV.

Sensei:
He's a little late for that, but I am working on the problem.

[Shane and Hunter enter with a platter of "homemade" friend chicken]

Tori:
There's... something wrong. This actually looks edible.

Tori:
Since when does "homemade" food come in a bucket?

[Blake and Cam catch up to Tori]

Blake:
Uh, I got you a little something.

Tori:
How sweet! My very own... socket wrench set. That is really...

Cam:
Pathetic and impersonal?

Blake:
Yeah, you know everything about being pathetic and personal, wouldn't 'cha?

Cam:
A true man would know what a woman really wants is... Acne Face Wash.

Mr. Ratwell:
Romance! Action! This episode has it all!

Blake Bradley:
Hey, I'm Blake.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
[shaking hands] Nice to meet you.

Blake Bradley:
My brother Hunter.

Hunter Bradley:
Hey.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
[noticing their race difference] Wait a mi... you guys are brothers?

Hunter Bradley:
We're adopted.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
Oh, right. Oh... cool.

Blake Bradley:
[about Hunter] He's right. Dark and brooding but right.

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
Hey, you know, I told these guys not to engage the enemy until the bikes were ready; but, of course, no one ever listens to the guy with glasses.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
So, what, you got something for me?

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
No. Should I?

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
Oh, come on, quit joking around, man.

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
No, seriously, I don't know what you're talking about.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
[a little upset] So this... so what... you're saying... you're saying... Motocross Guy's the only one who doesn't get a Tsunami Cycle?

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
All right, all right. Fine.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
[relieved] All right.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
[seeing his Tsunami Cycle for the first time] Oh, dude...

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
Well put, Dustin.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
[with the Yellow Tsunami Cycle before his gaze] So, what, anything I should know?

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
Yeah, just make sure...

[Unable to wait longer, Dustin runs off to his new bike]

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
[mildly exasperated] Why bother?

Lothor:
Zurgane, you're starting to sound like a bad movie. Take a break. Have a latte. Let's see what some fresh blood can do.

Lothor:
I don't care much for schedules. You see, I'm a results-oriented evil genius.

Lothor:
How many times do I have to tell you? "There's no 'I' in team."

Shane Clarke:
Sensei's not happy. He's doin' that thing with his nose again.

Blake Bradley:
Ah, boy, that Tori is FINE.

Hunter Bradley:
Yeah. Question is - why does she hang out with a goof like Dustin?

Blake Bradley:
Who knows? Maybe she likes doing charity work.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
You can only help yourself, Dustin, with your actions, not your words.

Tori Hanson:
[in a losing fight against Terramole] Where's Dustin?

Terramole:
That airhead? His Ranger days are over.

Shane Clarke:
Hey, WE'RE the only ones who can call him an airhead!

Tori Hanson:
[to Dustin] Yeah, you're a great Ranger. A flake but a great Ranger.

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
Hey, since you're the bike expert, why don't you, uh, take a look at these specs and give me an altitude chart for auto-jetting?

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
[suddenly hesitant to hand over a computer disk] And, uh, don't try and play video games with it or something like... you would do.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
Okay. Dude, you know, I'm not a complete dufus.

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
Well, here's your chance to prove it.

Kapri:
You know what I'm thinkin'?

Marah:
That lip liner kinda makes you look like a lizard?

Dustin:
Oh, man, I can't believe we got stalked by celery.

Cam:
I'd hate to be in your skate-shoes.

Shane:
Dude, shouldn't you be cleaning some ancient scrolls or something?

[Sensei prods a large and strange seed]

Shane:
Aw, that is some serious stank, man!

Tori:
It smells like Dustin after ninja training.

Dustin:
[brightly] Hey, yeah, it does, too!

Dustin:
You know, my sister's vegetarian, and she would freak if she saw this place.

Marah:
Nighty-night. Sleep tight. Don't let the evil space ninjas take over your world while you're too tired to fight.

Shane:
Where did you learn how to fight like that?

Cam:
I grew up in ninja school. Do the math.

Dustin:
[finding himself tied up by vines] See, now, this is what happens when you play with your food.

[Cam's been disobedience]

Cam:
How did you know?

Sensei:
I'm a ninja master and your father - not a good combination if you're trying to pull a fast one.

Cam:
[checking his computer while Ops is under attack] It says here, until Shane destroys the primary plant, we won't be able to stop its offspring!

Cam:
How old does someone have to be to do whatever they want?

Sensei:
No one has ever lived that long, Cam.

Cam:
Have you ever seen one of these things before?

Dr. Belrab:
Oh, yes. It's called a sudima plant. It's very... ah, yes... very rare. It's from the same family as the Venus flytrap, only with a slightly more aggressive nature.

Cam:
How aggressive?

Dr. Belrab:
Fully grown, this plant will devour everything in its path.

Dr. Belrab:
A terrible creature is growing a sudima plant in my basement.

Dustin:
Okay. Go get help!

Florabundacus:
I'm a flora you can't ignora.

[Blake and Hunter are trapped in a bucket of popcorn]

Blake:
You know what the worst part is? It's not even butter. We're gonna be destroyed by... ARTIFICIAL FLAVORING!

Sensei:
Those who fail to install cable in time for Science Fiction Marathon will feel the wrath of the unhappy guinea pig.

Zurgane:
He's ten tons of terror and hails from the planet Hamhock. Put your hooves together for the Sultan of Sausage, the Prince of Pork, the Baron of Bacon - General Trayf!

Lothor:
General Zurgane.

Zurgane:
Yes?

Lothor:
Don't give up your day job.

Lothor:
An alien who has a way with metaphors. I'm impressed.

Dustin:
Did I miss a class about using ninja powers in public?

Shane:
Yeah, I guess we both did.

Blake:
Tori! We're down here!

Hunter:
Don't eat the popcorn!

Tori:
Oh, I'm sorry. My friends are in the popcorn and I have to save them.

General Trayf:
I got an appetite for destruction, and this town gonna be the main course.

Lothor:
Hey, you make a better door than a window. Sit down.

Shane:
Time to stick a fork in this pork.

Tori:
Don't let the blonde hair fool you. You're goin' down.

Lothor:
Power Rangers? Nobody told me there would be Power Rangers!

Sensei Kanoi Watanabe:
[after each Ranger receives a morpher] From this point, you will be known as the Wind Power Rangers - protectors of the Earth.

Shane Clarke:
[beat] So what exactly does this thing do?

Tori:
Where's the switch?

Dustin:
Does it have any games or what?

Tori:
No, it doesn't have games but...

Cam:
[sarcastically as the Rangers begin bickering] Ladies and Gentlemen: the defenders of the galaxy.

Shane:
Look, in any group, there are different kinds of people.

Dustin:
Totally true, yeah. The thing about, um... like, the Power Rangers.

Shane:
Ahhh.

Tori:
Power Rangers? You've gotta be joking.

Dustin:
No. I, like... Okay, there's always, like, the mellow, like, reflective dude.

Shane:
And there's the risk taker. The adrenaline guy. That would, of course, be me.

Dustin:
Oh, yeah, right. And you, Tori, you're... you're just... you're the logical one.

Tori:
You guys have to lay off the comic books, seriously. Power Ranger? Whatever.

Dustin:
I'll tell you what, you guys can blame it all on me.

Tori:
Don't worry, we will.

Sensei Kanoi Watanabe:
You have been students at the Wind Ninja Academy for nearly a year and yet you fail to see the importance of punctuality. I would suggest you find a way to change that before you return tomorrow, otherwise I will have no choice but to expel you.

Kelly Halloway:
Dustin, you're not gonna leave ME here to clean up shop.

Dustin:
Have I ever told you what a cool boss you are? Bye, Kelly!

Shane:
All I know is, if we're late, something will definitely happen to us, and it won't involve fun and fabulous prizes.

Zurgane:
Sir, it seems there are three students from the Wind Ninja Academy still unaccounted for.

Lothor:
Why would I think anything could be done right the first time?

Cam:
My father is not a rat. He's a guinea pig.

Sensei Kanoi Watanabe:
[activating a viewing screen] This is Lothor. Once a great ninja, he was banished from the Earth when his hunger for power turned him to the dark side. When our energy fields collided, I was transformed into what you see before you. Now he has returned and has brought an army that will do everything to take our planet for their own, unless they are stopped.

Dustin:
Who is gonna be dumb enough to try and stop them?

Sensei Kanoi Watanabe:
An excellent question, Dustin.

Tori:
What's wrong? Never seen a girl in blue spandex walk on water?

Shane:
Is it hot out here, or is it just you?

Kelly Halloway:
Lap times are about two seconds off.

Dustin:
Yeah, I know. My bike's boggin' on that uphill.

Lothor:
Never trust an evil space ninja!

Dustin:
Hey-hey, what're you doin'?

Tori:
I'm borrowing your bike.

Dustin:
Oh. Ha-ha. No, you see, the way THAT usually works is that you ask me first, and then I think about it for, like, half a second and then tell you that the only way I would let you ride my race bike is if you tied me down and tortured me.

Tori:
You really want it to come to that?

Choobo:
I decided to leave Lothor's army.

Blake:
Leave?

Choobo:
Defect. Turn over a new leaf. Go to the light side.

Hunter:
Who says the light side would want you?

Choobo:
Because bitter ex-employees have all sorts of information.

Tori:
You totally freaked me out. I thought you were one of Lothor's goons.

Blake:
Since when do THEY ride dirt bikes?

Tori:
You never know.

Toxipod:
Well, if it isn't the world-famous Power Rangers. You know, you look taller on TV.

Dustin:
[having seen Blake and Hunter] I just saw them in the shop and... they just totally blew me off. I don't know. It's like... it's like d?ja vu all over again.

Dustin:
[not realizing how close to the truth he is] I'm tellin' you, these guys are suffering from a major brain fade, okay? It's like our little adventure in the Cavern of Lost Souls never even happened.

Dustin:
[about Shane] We could always trade him in for a new ranger.

Tori:
Hm.

Dustin:
Maybe a green one.

Newscaster:
It doesn't happen too often, but here in Blue Bay Harbor the weather has become the news. A cold front is gripping the city...

Cam:
No kidding.

Newscaster:
...causing an unprecedented shortage in the heating oil supply.

Cam:
You sure you're all right, Dad?

Sensei:
This is the first time I've been glad to have fur.

Sensei:
Have you had any luck locating our Rangers?

Cam:
Nothing. It's like they've vanished into another dimension.

Sensei:
Always a possibility.

Dustin:
Oh, man, I feel like I just got run over by a full gate of 250's.

Hunter:
You ever wondered if two Thunder ninjas got into a fight with three Wind ninjas who would win?

Dustin:
If it's them or us, I choose us.

Shane:
Thank you. Finally someone's listening to me.

Hunter:
My blaster's bigger than yours!

Lothor:
[observing the Rangers fighting each other on his monitor] Hmmm, I hate to admit it, Choobo, but they're good - moody as all get out, but good.

Lothor:
Where is Choobo?

Zurgane:
Looking for the Rangers.

Lothor:
When will that island finish sinking?

Zurgane:
Within hours.

Lothor:
Then we'll say goodbye to the Power Rangers and Choobo as well. I was getting tired of his whining anyway.

Cam:
I've tracked the heat signatures from satellite photos and I think I found the Rangers.

Sensei:
That's good news, son.

Cam:
Not entirely. They are on a sinking island, and they're not alone.

Blake:
Y'gotta understand. Hunter's a good person, but if he believes someone's wronged him, he won't stop until he makes it right.

Blake:
[unable to talk Hunter into clearing his head] All right. Enough is enough. Looks like it's time for some tough love.

Shane:
Do you know who we are?

Hunter:
Yeah. My friends.

[a signal finally gets through]

Shane:
Is that you, Cam?

Cam:
No, it's the phone company. I'm calling to find out if you're happy with your long distance service.

Lothor:
Will you look at that? Isn't that precious? One big, dysfunctional superhero family. The only problem is - THERE'RE ESCAPING!

Choobo:
Sir, it's just minor setback. If you allow me one more chance, I'm sure I can...

Lothor:
You can what? Give them the keys to the spaceship so they can take a spin around the moon?

Dustin:
Dude, it's hot! It's, like, Africa hot!

Blake:
Lothor isn't going to let us rest until he destroys us.

Dustin:
Join the club, dude.

Dustin:
I... I... I know the whole Sensei Guinea Pig thing seems a little out there, but once you get past the big teeth and the clothes and the talking, it's really not that unusual.

Hunter:
On which planet is it not unusual?

Marah:
Doesn't anyone know what love is?

Lothor:
I'm an evil genius. It's not in my job description.

Lothor:
"Choobo." That rings a bell. What? Didn't I end his miserable existence?

Kapri:
Um...

Zurgane:
Technically, you banished him.

Lothor:
Mmm, that one will probably come back to haunt me.

Cam:
I'm confused. Does it now say "Skate Park" outside the secret entrance?

Cam:
I've scanned the Thunder Zords for damage and I keep coming up with this nonfunctional retrofit.

Tori:
Could you repeat that with fewer syllables?

[trapped inside Choobo's box]

Blake:
Nice look.

Hunter:
Early dungeon.

Tori:
I don't know about you, but I smell a rodent. No offense, Sensei.

Choobo:
You Rangers and your teamwork really cheese me off!

Sensei:
It will be good to see the powers of Wind and Thunder working together.

Zurgane:
Sir, We have a situation. Choobo has infiltrated the lair and stolen the Scroll of Empowerment.

Lothor:
Whatever happened to "I've got good news and I've got bad news?"

Shane:
[watching Cam surf] Hey, Tori, he's even better than you!

Tori:
Don't even go there.

Tori:
[as Cam is skatboarding] Hey, Shane. He's even better than you!

Shane:
Hey, no, he's not!

Dustin:
Oh! It smells like my grandma's feet in here.

Tori:
Your grandma's been dead ten years.

Dustin:
Exactly.

Lothor:
Shut your evil pie-holes, both of you!

Zurgane:
This is Fragra. She can turn the entire population into perfume.

Kapri:
Talk about your family-sized bottle, huh?

Lothor:
So, what am I supposed to do with a bunch of cheap perfume?

Fragra:
Lothor, darling, I can bring you back the most valuable perfume of all - the Scent of a Ranger!

Shane:
Oh, man, not another clone story. Didn't we already do this?

Cyber Cam:
Sorry about the whole tie-you-up-in-the-closet thing, bro.

Cyber Cam:
Hey, whassup? Shane-Man! Tori-Tor! D-Dog in the house!

Tori:
What are you wearing?

Cyber Cam:
Cool, huh? I got tired of the same old rags so I busted out the phat gear.

Dustin:
We were just going to the beach and we thought you might want to come with us.

Cyber Cam:
Dudes, I'm so down with that! I could definitely get into chillin' at the beach with my peeps.

Tori:
Your "peeps?"

Cyber Cam:
Tori, may I say you're looking particularly babelicious this morning?

Tori:
Uh... thanks... I think.

Cyber Cam:
[to Sensei] Gotta bail! Laters, little furry dude. Heh-heh.

Sensei:
What?

Sensei:
Sometime a guinea pig, even a ninja master guinea pig, is no replacement for a real, live human father.

Shane:
[in Sensei's body] Something's different. I can feel it in my... whiskers.

Tori:
A wise rodent once told me to use my inner ninja in times like these.

Tori:
You ready for this, Sensei?

Sensei:
[in Shane's body] I think the term is "bring it on."

Dustin:
Wicked moves, dude!

Sensei:
[in Shane's body] Dustin, you will kindly not refer to me as 'dude.'

Footzilla:
Time for some "sole" searching.

[vanishes]

Tori, Dustin, Sensei:
Huh?

Tori:
Guess he knew when to make tracks.

Cam:
Everything's back up and running here. Come in and I'll make the switch back.

Dustin:
[after having a successful time thumping the bad guys with Sensei] Aw, do we HAVE to?

Tori:
Dustin!

Dustin:
Wha...

Shane:
[as a guinea pig] Hey, I heard that.

Lothor:
There's something rotten in the state of Denmark.

Kapri:
Denmark? Now, I thought they lived in California.

Lothor:
It's Shakespeare. Read a book!

Lothor:
Don't just stand there looking like a peacock threw up on you!

Cam:
Dad, how you feel?

Dustin:
[in Sensei's guinea pig body] Like I could go for a big bag of sunflower seeds.

Sensei:
[in Dustin's body] We seem to have solved one problem and created another.

Hunter:
It's time to give this foot the boot.

Marah:
Our little foot monster's kicking butt!

Sensei:
[in Dustin's body] I never realized how hard it must be for you not having a human father any longer.

Cam:
Whatever form you're in, I'll always be there for you, and I know you're always there for me.

Hunter:
Ah, a guy and his dad. I miss that.

Blake:
Yeah, me, too.

Cam:
So do I.

Hunter:
What are you talkin' about? At least your dad's still around.

Cam:
Somehow, high-fiving a guinea pig just isn't the same.

Footzilla:
Ahh! De agony of defeat!

Marah:
[doing aerobics with Kapri] How long do we have to go before we look really good?

Zurgane:
The rest of your natural lives!

Marah:
Speaking of mice, I already cut the cheese.

Shane:
Whoa. Now THERE'S a face only a mother could love.

Vexacus:
I could say the same about you.

Cyber Cam:
Hey, party animals! I think we have a problem. We've got an alien visitor in the forest and - here's a newsworthy item - he's not working for Lothor.

Kapri:
What are we gonna tell all our friends?

Zurgane:
WHAT friends?

Lothor:
Vexacus has chased the Carmanian into the hands of a Power Ranger. They can not be allowed to unite.

Choobo:
No. No.

Lothor:
Zurgane.

Zurgane:
Sir.

Lothor:
Do whatever you have to do to prevent this from happening.

Skyla:
You saved me from that fish-headed freak. Now I'm here to return the favor.

Shane:
What does Vexacus want here with you?

Skyla:
I came here to give you something, and he wants it, but that would be bad. Really bad.

Blake:
[Seeing a Kelzak wearing Tori's bathing suit] Tori, promise me you'll never wear that bikini ever again.

Tori:
Well, well. If it isn't the Orange Ranger.

Dustin:
[laughing] Yeah. Cyber Cam's gonna be cyber toast next time I see him.

Vexacus:
I have been chasing Carmanians all my life. I know as well as you do that when your time comes to pass into your higher form, your life's force will transfer to the one at hand.

Skyla:
Well, guess what. It's not gonna be you.

Vexacus:
Do not trifle with forces you do not understand.

Shane:
What's not to get? Skyla - good; Vexacus - not good.

Hunter:
Give us back our stuff!

Choobo:
Make me.

Dustin:
Okay.

Skyla:
Carmanians change all the time. Instead of dying, we pass from one life form to the next.

Kelly:
This is an action sport shop. There'll be no trash TV viewing here.

Dustin:
[in regards to auditioning for a talent show] Whadda YOU guys do?

Blake:
Hey. We do plenty.

Shane:
Yeah, but who'd wanna watch it?

Kapri:
We were at the museum on a field trip with our evil space ninja history class, right?

Marah:
Yeah, we heard something... bizarre.

Zurgane:
Probably their brains trying to keep up with the other fifth graders.

[derisive laughter all around]

Kapri:
Zip it, Zurgane! Oh, wait. You can't. You don't have a mouth.

Cam:
[returning to Ops to find Rangers dancing, singing and playing music] Hey, it's the kids from Fame. Please tell me this isn't part of their ninja training, Dad.

Cam:
Look, you guys aren't the only ones with hidden talent.

Tori:
Oh, what do you do?

Cam:
If I showed you, it wouldn't be hidden.

Lothor:
If he fails, there's a wormhole right outside with both your names on it.

[the Rangers confront the Wolfblades]

Shane:
All right, I'm taking suggestions.

Dustin:
Rolled-up newspaper?

Tori:
How about one of those electric collars?

Cam:
I bet that whatever energy source was used to bring back Motodrone rubbed off on Shimazu.

Shane:
Great. Now we've got a two-thousand-year-old kabuki dude with an attitude and his three pet wolves running loose in the city.

Lothor:
Do you have anything to say before I throw you into the wormhole?

Shimazu:
Come, come, Power Rangers, don't you know wolves can smell fear? You've obviously sent them into a feeding frenzy.

Shimazu:
I'd be impressed if I weren't so annoyed!

Blake:
Okay, guys, we need a new plan.

Tori:
Yeah. The cujos aren't cooperating.

[opening lines]

Tori:
That's one ugly mutt.

Hunter:
Man, the leash laws in this town need some serious work.

Cam:
You guys better get out there before it decides to make a federal building into a chew toy.

Cam:
I'm tired of getting dogged by those mutts.

Shane:
[operating the Mega Zord as civilians] All right, guys, without our powers, we can't take any direct hits.

Tori:
Is that supposed to cheer us up? 'Cause it's not working.

Shane:
Just be careful.

Dustin:
How 'bout we just blow this guy away and go home?

Blake:
Yo, what up, dogs! Meet the beetles!

Shane:
Haven't you heard? Bird is the word.

Lothor:
If I banished every imbecile that failed me, there'd be no one left.

Hunter:
[seeing Cam with a guitar at the talent contest] Uh, that thing's not gonna summon up any ancient mammoth robots or anything, is it?

Cam:
It might. I've been known to rock a few worlds.

Hunter:
[rapping] Mo... to...! Me, I'm a Hunter and he my brother Blake. We may not look alive but make no mistake. He spins and scratches for my lyrical matches. My wicked brother's technique is hardly tongue-and-cheek. We make the other rappers look like 20's flappers.

Kapri, Marah:
[singing together] Oh, listen to me baby. Oh baby, don't you know I'm an interstellar ninja? I'm an evil UFO.

Stu Starmaker:
I'm sick or working with amateurs! I've done Shakespeare! Where's my agent? I'm outta here!

[last lines]

Dustin:
So, s'that mean nobody wins today?

Cam:
Oh, I don't know, Dustin. I think we're ALL winners.

Dustin:
[blowing that away as a cheesy answer] B'ahl!

Shane:
Let's pound this hound!

Kapri:
We were thinking...

Lothor:
Always a problem.

Kapri:
...what better way to take over Earth thaaaaaaaan...

Marah:
...win a talent show!

Kapri:
Yeah!

Lothor:
Hmm. Congratulations. I believe you've come up with your stupidest idea ever.

Choobo:
But, sir, if they win the talent show, they get a big recording contract.

Marah:
Yeah.

Choobo:
And no one is more powerful on Earth than pop stars.

Lothor:
Fine. Enter your contest. But stay out of the way of the REAL evil geniuses around here.

Sensei:
Remember, a ninja's greatest enemy is himself.

Tori:
Why is it so hard for guys to follow directions?

Shane:
[defeated by his duplicate] I'm tougher than I thought I was.

Dustin:
[the same] I can't believe I kicked my own butt.

Sensei:
He who battles himself can never emerge victorious.

Sensei:
Trust in yourself. Your inner ninja will show you the way.

Choobo:
But what about the Power Ranger? They'll probably be there to guard it.

Lothor:
I thought we agreed: Nobody mentions the 'P' word.

Zurgane:
[introducing Snipster] He cuts the ties that bind, making everyone he encounters unable to agree on anything.

Shane:
[fighting a horde of Kalzaks outside the environmental conference] What's up with this?

Dustin:
Maybe they heard about the buffet.

Tori:
Sensei, I've come to a conclusion. I'm lost.

Sensei:
Remember, Tori, a conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Dustin:
[facing a replica of himself] Hey, dude, you know what? I don't care HOW good-lookin' you are, you're still goin' down.

Kapri:
We're calling the shots now. You don't like it, take us on. We'd love the competition.

Dustin:
[holding out paper] Hey, Tori! Ah, check it out!

Tori:
[without reading it] Oh, Kelly's sponsoring you to go to the U.S. Action Games in freestyle.

Dustin:
Yeah. How'd you know?

Tori:
Showed me this morning.

Dustin:
Ah. Eh.

Shane:
[seeing Tori] Hey.

[Blake and Hunter enter]

Dustin:
Hey, guys!

Blake:
Hey.

Dustin:
Guess what!

Blake:
Yeah, I know. U.S. Action Games, right? That's awesome.

Dustin:
What?

Blake:
[seeing Tori and Shane] Hey, guys.

Dustin:
Aw, so let me get this straight. Everybody knew except for me?

Lothor:
Did he fall for it?

Kapri:
Oh, isn't he just a big fish? He took the bait and ran with it.

Lothor:
The Scroll of Destiny.

Marah:
Can I touch it?

Lothor:
No.

Marah:
Oh.

Lothor:
The scroll tells of my travels through time and space, recruiting the worst this galaxy has to offer then watching as they were destroyed one by one. Their energies are all preserved in a well-hidden place.

Marah:
The Abyss of Evil.

Lothor:
Yes, and now the time has come for them to be reborn, to emerge and take arms against the Power Rangers. I will lead them into battle, and then this planet will at last become mine!

Tori:
Did any of you guys happen to tell Sensei that we're going to the Action games?

Shane:
Uh-oh. Not me.

Dustin:
Hey, what about Cam? Did you guys ask him if he wanted to go with us?

[once back at Ninja Ops]

Cam:
So it slipped ALL your minds?

[the Samurai Amulet freezes]

Sensei Guinea Pig:
How has it reacted in the past?

Cam:
Well, once or twice it's gotten really warm, but that was only when something good happened.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
Interesting. One might conclude that...

Cam:
[realizing]... since warmth comes from good, cold must come from bad or evil. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I must be losing my edge.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
Some concepts, though they may seem simple, are the most difficult, especially those that pertain to the powers of good and evil.

[the Rangers respond to the call of duty]

Kelly:
Where are you guys going?

Dustin:
Uh, bathroom.

Kelly:
All of you?

Shane:
We'll be back, I promise.

Lothor:
But is it so wrong to dream of a world where the ultimate evil rules over all those who inhabit it? When I, Lothor, command an army of thousands, and all those who live in my shadow must bow down to my greatness, is that so wrong?

Cam:
[in mock thought] Uh... yes.

Cam:
Whatever you're doing, it won't work.

Lothor:
Oh, ye of little faith, is that any way to talk to your uncle?

Cam:
Who says Real Cam can't cruise?

[last line of the series]

Sensei Kanoi:
A happy ending is nothing more than a new beginning. Besides, one should never break up a winning team.

Tally:
No one says "dude" anymore.

Eric:
Yes, they do.

Cam:
[facing Marah and Kapri among the arrival of new Ninja Academy students] You're kidding.

Kapri:
Hello? Family, right?

Marah:
Yeah, Cam, we really have to talk about these outfits, 'cause it makes my butt look really big.

Kapri:
Not as big as your head.

Marah:
I do not have a big head!

Kapri:
You SO have a big head.

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
You're really not dumb.

Marah:
Yeah, I know. I keep telling people that. No one ever listens to me.

Lothor:
I have your Ranger powers. You are at my mercy, once and for all!

Shane:
We won't let you win.

Lothor:
What can you do to me without your powers?

Shane:
We may not be Power Rangers, but we still have have power! Power of Air!

Dustin:
Power of Earth!

Tori:
Power of Water!

Lothor:
Huh? Huh?

Shane, Dustin, Tori:
NINJA POWERS! Hyah!

Hunter:
It's good to see you... finally.

Sensei Kanoi:
I believe Lothor intends to use Cam's powers to open the abyss and allow the army of evil to enter our world.

Kapri:
Well, now that we're really... evil, don't we get to play a part in your ultimate victory?

Lothor:
Now that you're evil, I suppose I can't really trust you, can I?

Dustin:
You guys ever think if we hadn't been late to class that day we wouldn't even BE Power Rangers?

Sensei Kanoi:
You were always meant to be Rangers.

Shane:
What do you mean?

Sensei Kanoi:
This is the last entry on the Scroll of Destiny.

Shane:
[checking out the picture on a torn bit of parchment] It's us!

Tori:
No way!

Sensei Kanoi:
As you can see, you were late precisely so that you would be the ones to become Power Rangers.

Shane:
And you knew this all along? Why didn't you show us this sooner?

Sensei Kanoi:
Would you have believed me had you not learned the truth for yourself?

Cam:
[as Lothor's ship counts down to explode] Can you tell me how to release the ninja student pods?

Marah:
Hey, cousin, do you know the Yellow Ranger? I was just wondering, is he still mad at me? 'Cause I think he's really cute and I think we could...

Cam:
Can we talk about this later?

Lothor:
How does it feel to fail, Rangers?

Dustin:
So he's gone. Really gone.

Cam:
I believe so.

Hunter:
And our Ranger powers?

Shane:
They're gone, too.

Sensei Kanoi:
You have all earned the Badge of Honor. That is, to graduate from the Wind Ninja Academy. I could not be more proud of you, of the sacrifices you have made for your school and, indeed, for your planet. The world is a better place today because of you.

Shane:
This can't be how it ends.

Sensei Kanoi:
My darkest fears have come to pass. Lothor is preparing to open the Abyss of Evil.

Blake:
Are you serious? But I thought that was just ninja folklore.

Sensei Kanoi:
It is no coincidence that Blue Bay Harbor is home to the Wind Ninja Academy. We are the guardians of an invisible gateway - a gateway that, once opened, will allow all the evil of ages gone by to escape.

[fighting against the Rangers in a megazord battle]

Lothor:
This is the most fun I've had all season!

Lothor:
Taste you defeat!

Lothor:
The Rangers' defeat is at hand. Would it kill you to crack a smile?

Zurgane:
Sir, I don't have a mouth.

Marah:
He likes us. He really, really likes us.

Lothor:
That was rich. I haven't laughed that hard since the plague on Velcroix turned everyone into little piles of black ooze.

Zurgane:
Meet Madtropolis. He has he power to create the illusion that he's another being.

Madtropolis:
Just a little thing I do. It KILLS at barbecues!

Lothor:
A nice party trick, Zurgane, but it doesn't exactly scream "world domination," does it?

Cam:
Just because someone isn't a Ranger doesn't make them completely useless.

Tori:
He's the most reasonable, well, guinea pig I've ever met. Go talk to him.

Cam:
Okay, but if he doesn't listen, I'm not cleaning his cage for a month.

Kapri:
We hate to break up this greeting card moment...

Marah:
...but we're, like, here to destroy you.

Madtropolis:
Hey, that's mine! I stole from you fair and square!

Shane:
I'm taking my ball and going home.

Cam:
Now I'm sending you some protection. It's all you can handle right now.

Shane:
We'll take any help we can get. Locked and dropped!

[the Mega Zord produces a floating sheet of fabric]

Shane:
A scarf? You sent us a scarf?

Cam:
Just go with it!

Sensei:
You must not disturb that which is the natural progression of time.

Cam:
If I don't do something, there won't be any time left.

Lothor:
I smell a rat! Make that a guinea pig. What has that rabid little rodent done?

[Lothor sees the Green Ranger for the first time]

Lothor:
Another one! When will they run out of colors?

Kanoi:
Tell me the password or parish where you stand.

Cam:
Air, water and earth as one.

Kanoi:
Sorry. Wrong answer.

Ancient Sensei:
And, Kanoi, don't be late for class again. I'm beginning to question your commitment to your ninja training.

Lothor:
We must find five talented aliens to show that rodent who's in charge once and for all.

Kapri:
Did he say "talent?"

Marah:
And "show?"

Kapri, Marah:
[beside themselves with excitement] A talent show!

Zurgane:
What alien powers do you have?

Sucker:
I can turn any living being into a big old bug with a little prick of my proboscis.

Marah:
Like, I have no idea what that means, but it sounds really painful.

Ancient Sensei:
You stand accused of stealing from a fellow student. We've heard from several eye-witnesses who saw you commit this crime. Do you have anything to say?

Cam:
Miko, I would never do this to you.

Ancient Sensei:
The law of the Wind Ninja Academy does not waver on this issue. Those guilty of breaking the ninja code must be banished. The evidence seems irrefutable. I will now pass judgement on the accused.

Kiya:
You always did know how to spoil a party, didn't you, brother?

Kiya:
You're a stubborn one!

Cam:
Runs in the family!

Miko:
The Samurai Amulet has found its rightful owner.

Kiya:
You think you can stop me from harnessing the darkest power in the universe? I will rule this world and all others within my reach.

Kiya:
From now on, I will take the name of the ancient warrior of evil! From this point forth I will be known as - Lothor!

Ancient Sensei:
We can only judge someone by their actions in the present, not by a future we can not see.

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
I can't believe that in my first Ranger battle I practically get turned into a bug.

Blake:
[as Lothor merrily shoots energy bolts at the Rangers] Obviously he didn't get enough love as a child.

Sensei:
Cam, Lothor is no relation of ours.

Cam:
Well, how can you say that?

Sensei:
By law, once a ninja is banished, they cease to exist. The one I knew as my brother is a mere memory.

Cam:
Ouch! Didn't your mother ever teach you about biting?

Sucker:
Of course! She'd be so proud!

[Lothor presses his remote]

Lothor:
[reading] "Memory error." General Zurgane, what does this mean?

Zurgane:
Sir, you didn't pay for the memory upgrade, so you can only make one monster grow at a time.

Lothor:
What? I'm the future ruler of the world! I need big monsters!

Zurgane:
Sorry, sir.

Sensei:
Every new challenge brings setbacks. The strong will learn from them and grow stronger.

Cam:
S'that your way of saying "Don't give up?"

Sensei:
Exactly.

[Lothor's told Marah and Kapri to report the news from Earth, but it's an instruction they follow to the extreme]

Kapri:
[cutting in on Lothor's viewer] This is the Lothor News Network with a special report. Monster Madness, Day One. We join our reporter on the scene, Marah Busby Stinger.

Kapri:
[as the live feed fails to come in] Marah Busby Stinger? Marah?

Marah:
Downtown, the basic black kalzaks are getting the best of the new guy in green. That's just a hard color to wear this time of year. Back to you, Kapri.

Kapri:
This has been a special report.

Lothor:
Good news - but, General Zurgane, remind me never to use the word "report" around those two again!

Dustin:
Let's mash some monsters!

[referring to the guys' strange behavior]

Tori:
Sensei, please, tell me what's happened to everyone.

Sensei:
What are you looking at me for? If you don't want to be a Ranger anymore, you know where the waterfall is. Don't let it splash you on the way out.

Dustin:
I'm almost done with a new weapon that's really gonna rock this town!

Cam:
That's why you're the mechanical master, dude! D-Man!

Lothor:
Hello, I'm Mayor Lothor. How can I help you, my dear?

[Tori passes out]

Motodrone:
[as Tori revives] Can I get you a glass of water, young lady?

Tori:
No, I'm fine.

Lothor:
You gave us quite a fright. Careful, not too fast.

Tori:
I can't believe it! Again?

Lothor:
It's terrible, isn't it? Nobody quite knows what to do about the Power Ranger problem. They're the worst kind of evil!

Tori:
But it's your responsibility to protect your city and the people living in it. If you're not gonna do it, then who will?

Lothor:
I don't want any trouble. I'm sorry.

Tori:
It's okay, ma'me. You're safe now.

Elderly Lady:
What did you do that for?

Tori:
That was a Kelzak.

Elderly Lady:
Of course it was, and he was kind enough to help me with my seat. Next time, mind your own business, sister!

Reporter:
One again, Blue Bay Harbor is attacked by those menaces, the Power Rangers. The mayor's advice is to stay inside and avoid confrontation.

Tori:
Now, let me get something straight. Alien, Kelzaks, various monster types are all good.

Marah:
Oh, yeah.

Tori:
And everybody's afraid of the Power Rangers.

Kapri:
Oh, yeah, of course. Well, they just do whatever they want and stomp on anyone who gets in their way. Well, they're horrible, evil creatures.

Marah:
Oh, you're not from around here, are you?

Tori:
Clearly.

Tori:
Stay away! Stay back!

Dustin:
What? I showered and everything.

Tori:
Dustin? Is that really you?

Dustin:
[sniffing his armpit] Yeah. I'm pretty sure it is.

Tori:
What's going on here?

Dustin:
Uh, giant butterfly attacking the city. You know, the usual.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
Uh, Calzax, party of ten!

Tori Hanson:
Sensei, why can't we get this right? Why do we keep failing?

Sensei Guinea Pig:
That is for you to figure out.

Shane Clarke:
Look, that's why we gotta keep practicing until you guys get it right.

Tori Hanson:
Until WE get it right?

Lothor:
[coming upon another of his nieces' frequent fights with each other] STOP!

Lothor:
[to himself] And they wonder why I have acid reflux.

Lothor:
Until you two learn to work together, you will be forced to work together.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
Some kinds of power can not be found in a computer.

Tori Hanson:
What's up, Cam?

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
It's Shane and some weird magnet-head thing. I tapped into the police surveillance system when I saw the power readings were off the chart.

Tori Hanson:
We better help him.

Sensei Guinea Pig:
Wait. I will let you know when it is time.

Mad Magnet:
Have it your way!

Shane Clarke:
I always do!

Shane Clarke:
I can't believe I was such a jerk.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
Oh, I totally can.

Tori Hanson:
Dustin!

Mad Magnet:
Pardon me, but I haven't finished destroying you yet!

Lothor:
[watching his squabbling nieces over a monitor] "Take your nieces for the summer" they tell me. "They won't be any trouble," they said.

Waldo 'Dustin' Brooks:
Dude, I got seat warmers!

Cameron 'Cam' Watanabe:
Rangers, listen closely: Hidden in a subterranean hanger are three powerful robotic assault vehicles. Now that Lothor's raised the stakes, we have no choice but to call upon them. Guys, I'm sending you some big-time backup! The Hawk Zord... the Dolphin Zord... and the Lion Zord. They materialize through holographic portals, and I've adapted them to operate under your command using your inner ninja powers of air, water and earth. The Zords are equipped with an arsenal of state-of-the-art weaponry that you can access by using the power disks on your morphers. I'll be sending you new power disks as you master each skill level.

[Mad Magnet is destroyed and all his evil is undone except for Kapri and Marah's continued attachment at their tailbones]

Kapri:
How come we're still stuck?

Choobo:
Don't you mean "stuck up?" Heh, heh-heh-heh.

[Thunder Rangers disappear after attacking Wind Rangers]

Shane:
Where'd they go?

Dustin:
Really far away. If we're lucky.

Sensei:
It could be a trap. Use caution when engaging him.

Shane:
We always do.

Cam:
[sarcastically] Yeah, right.

Cam:
Shouldn't you be doing schoolwork or annoying your parents or something?

Lothor:
[holding Cam's disc] The Wind Rangers' greatest hits. Are all my favorites on there?

Blake:
If you mean the Tsunami Cycles' Serenade, then yes.

Lothor:
Evil plans are like fine wine. You must let them sit awhile before uncorking them.

Blake:
They also go bad if you leave 'em too long.

Lothor:
A Ranger's power can only be destroyed when he's in his full Ranger form.

Shane:
Note to self: Never EVER doubt Cam.

Shane:
Didn't anyone ever teach you to play nice?

Blake:
We don't do nice.

Shane:
Sensei, who were those guys?

Sensei:
They fight in the style of the Thunder Ninja Academy. This is all I know for certain.

Dustin:
I thought Lothor captured all the other ninja schools.

Tori:
Could he have turned them against us so he could fight fire with fire?

Sensei:
Their fire comes form deep within. Even Lothor can not be driving them to attack with such passion.

Cam:
[another enemy appears on the view screen] The quarry again. What is it, like a Monster Con over there?

Hunter:
Recognize these?

[the Thunder Rangers materialize their new Tsunami Cycles]

Cam:
[observing from Ninja Ops] They...! Those are MY Tsunami Cycles!

Blake:
This is so easy it's almost boring. I thought at least they'd put up a fight.

Hunter:
Those guys never COULD compete with the Thunder Ninja Academy.

Hunter:
Crimson Thunder Power!

Blake:
Navy Thunder Power!

Hunter:
Sky of Wonder!

Blake:
Power of Thunder!

Shane:
They wanna play rough? We're all about rough!

Tori Hanson:
He's got me!

Dustin:
Hands off the fish!

Dustin:
Where's that last-minute, just in time, save our butt device?

[no response]

Dustin:
Where're waiting!

Cam:
[back at Ninja Ops] Give, give, give, that's all I do.

Hunter:
Finally a little something from the has-beens.

Blake:
Let's turn them into never-weres.

Lothor:
What did I tell you about the Power Rangers?

Zurgane:
Well... uh... uh...

Lothor:
I'll give you a hint: It's to do with their powers and how you destroy them. Anyone? Anyone?

Marah, Zurgane, Kapri:
Uh... uh...

Marah:
It has to be really painful?

Lothor:
Wrong answer but thanks for playing our game.

Cam:
Well, you've managed to reduce years of technological advance into a pile of scrap metal in a single afternoon, not to mention what you did to the Zords.

Cam:
Thankfully, the auto-retreat allowed the reactors time to reset the holographic portals. I've engaged the self-reconstruct function.

Dustin:
Dude, I've got no idea what you just said.

Cam:
They're fixing themselves.

Dustin:
Oh! Heh-heh. Okay. Okay, right. Sweet.

Amphibidor:
[to Tori] Guess it's not morphin' time after all, is it?

Hunter:
What happened?

Kelly:
KELLY I was listening in the car on the way here. They think it was some kind of an alien attack.

Blake:
Why? Does that sort of thing happen a lot around here?

Shane:
You never wondered why housing was so cheap?

Lothor:
It's a laser beam. It's SUPPOSED to hurt.

Lothor:
For the last time, I'm an evil space ninja, not a male model.

Zurgane:
Permission to speak, sir.

Lothor:
As long as I can vaporize you when you say something stupid.

Zurgane:
I have found an alien life form that will lure the Power Rangers into their morphed form and then destroy them.

Lothor:
All right. Let's give it a rip.

Zurgane:
Yes.

Lothor:
But don't blow it. I was only half joking about that vaporizing thing.

Tori:
When you see Cam, say thank you. I think he's feeling a little unappreciated.

Shane:
Let's toast this toad once and for all.

Shane:
What did they want here?

Cam:
My father. They took my father.

Shane:
These guys are fearless!

Tori:
They're dead. It's not like they have a lot to lose.

Dustin:
So, that would be the glass half-empty, right?

Dustin:
How long till we get there?

Cameron:
I told you to go before we left Ninja Ops.

Dustin:
Whoa! Who do we fight?

Shane:
Anyone not wearing a primary color.

Tori:
All right! Who says women can't drive?

[With Sensei captured, Lothor's horde celebrates]

Lothor:
What's the matter, General? Don't you dance?

Zurgane:
Sir, until the Thunder Rangers return and the world is under our control, I will not celebrate.

Lothor:
Look here. I want to show you something. I've been at this for quite some time, and one thing I've learned is you don't just wake up one day and decide to take over a planet. There are steps that must be taken. Observe: Step One - Capture your enemy's leader. Done. Two - Wipe out the rest of their army. That's what you'll do next. Step Three - Get rid of anything that stands in our way. We'll do that together. It'll be fun, like a big evil group hug.

Cam:
Father enclosed himself in an energy sphere before he was captured. That'll protect him and allow us to track his location within a twenty-five mile radius.

Tori:
The Mountain of Lost Ninjas.

Cam:
Of course.

Dustin:
Oh, that's where all those freaky ninja ghost dudes are, right?

Cam:
So you DO study your ninja history.

Dustin:
Yes, sometimes.

Cam:
Then you should know that the Mountain of Lost Ninjas is where the Cavern of Spirits is...

Tori:
...which houses the Gem of Souls. It's the only thing on Earth that's powerful enough to break the energy sphere surrounding Sensei.

Cam:
That's gotta be what the Thunders are after.

Shane:
Then that's where we're going.

Sensei:
Have you not learned that taking revenge on one who has caused you no harm makes you as guilty as the one who hurt you to begin with?

Hunter:
You destroyed our parents, parents who adopted us and gave us a life. You deserve everything that's coming to you.

Hunter, Blake:
[in unison] Thunder storm! Ranger form! Power of Thunder!

Zurgane:
Who do you think you are?

Tori:
I'm a big fish with an attitude!

Tori:
A MegaZord is nothing without accessories.

Blake:
So how long you think we'll be gone?

Hunter:
Why? You got a reason to come back?

Blake:
We both do.

Lothor:
What a sight - the Thunder Rangers crying for their mommy. My ears were burning. You've been talkin' about me, haven't you?

Hunter:
It was you all along. You lied to us.

Lothor:
Not the brightest bulbs on the tree, are you? Now, give me the hampster. We got business to attend to.

[Lothor has just made a monster grow]

Lothor:
[looks at camera] What did you expect? He wasn't going to get smaller.

Sensei:
You're actions were noble, Dustin, but using your Ranger powers in everyday situations can have serious consequences.

Blake:
What's up with the computer?

Cam:
I've been keeping tabs on some of the fan sites. Yellow Ranger just got 15,000 letters and counting.

Shane:
They're all for HIM?

Dustin:
Don't sound so shocked.

Shane:
Take it from someone's who's been there - there's no 'I' in "team."

Dustin:
First time in my life I'm not just the goofy one. I'm getting respect and I'm not about to walk away from that.

Blake:
[seeking their grandmother's cottage] Hey, that must be the place.

Hunter:
Looks like something out of a fairy tale.

Blake:
A GRIMM one, maybe.

Blake:
[seeing his adopted grandmother for the first time - who's actually Kapri in disguise] Whoa. Grandma, what a big...

Hunter:
Dude! Go easy.

Shane:
I'm worried about Dustin. I mean, all this attention has gone to his head, and if it gets any bigger...

Dustin:
[entering] What? There won't be enough room in here for the rest of you?

Shane:
[sighs] Something like that.

Dustin:
I think you're just jealous, and, dude, green is not your color.

Cam:
Well, it is my color, dude, and I think Shane has a point, for what it's worth.

Dustin:
Typical. Everyone thinks Dustin can't be right.

Tori:
This isn't about who's right, Dustin. It's about DOING what's right.

Sensei:
We are all pleased you have gained the world's attention, Dustin, but how you use that attention is what's important.

Dustin:
Hm. Thanks for your concern, but I think I'm doing just fine. I gotta go. I have to take a call from my agent.

Tori:
[as Dustin exits] Agent?

Slob Goblin:
I'm gonna stamp out the whole world!

Tori:
My mother always said, "Brush after every meal, floss, and never use your tongue on robots."

[Blake and Hunter have disappeared]

Shane:
[seeing Slob Goblin on Cam's computer screen] Lothor's postmonster general.

Tori:
He must've gone postal on Hunter and Blake.
