#tempting though

Glomgold: You’re here because you’re the best of the cheapest.

-

Glomgold: But first, here are your company IDs. Also good for 40% off life vest rental in case of emergency. Gabby McStaberson! Hack and Slash Smashnokoff! Donald Duck! Duck! DUCK! Donald: [puts a finger up and nervous laughs] [turns away back on his phone, keeping up the ‘one moment, I’m on the phone’ finger behind him]

-

Louie: Webby! That’s irresponsible! She’ll be worried sick! Call your grandma this instant! And tell her! You are spending the night and a friend’s house, okay? Lying! It’s the responsible thing to do.

-

Scrooge: Launchpad, have you ever piloted a sub before? Launchpad: I sunk a helicopter in a wade pool once. Same thing?

-

Dewey: Classic Scrooge-Dewey banter. The seasoned petard explorer passing the torch to his cocky young successor. Huey: I’m pretty sure he doesn’t actually know our names. Dewey: I’m sorry, what? Huey: I think he called me ‘Herbert’ once. Dewey: Don’t be ridiculous. Hey Scrooge! When are we gonna set sail, Scrooge? Scrooge: In a moment, Sonny Jim. Huey: [holds up one of his ‘road trip’ sub t-shirts] Dewey: I will cram it down your throat.

-

Scrooge: Ah-ah. Lad. The shortest distance between two points isn’t always a straight line. Dewey: Okay. But. Yes, it is.

-

Scrooge: You kids’ll be the death of me. Dewey: DEWEY! Dewey will be the death of you!

-

Huey: Can we make a pit stop? I have to use the bathroom, but it’s, um. [struggles with a sea monster pushing on the bathroom door] Ah! Occupied? [closes the door] Scrooge: For the love of- It’s the middle of the ocean! There are no pit stops! Launchpad: How ‘bout that conspicuously unmarked tanker?

-

Donald: Ah. [holding up a picture of a tiny Dewey on his phone, walking on a mat, surrounded by pillows, to Donald wearing baseball gloves] -Little Dewey’s first steps. [switches the picture so you can see Donald holding the shoulders of a kid in heavy padding and a helmet, his finger covering up most of the kid at the moment] And that’s Huey at the play-offs. [removes finger to reveal Huey holding a tray with water cups] He was the water boy. [frame shifts to reveal his attempt to engage this with the Hack and Slash guys is being met with total disinterest] [he shifts to Gabby, who is using her sword to whittle a wooden knife] Donald: Oh, look! That’s us climbing the Grand Canyon- [shows the picture - initially visible is the triplets on the ground and Donald climbing...something] [he moves his finger to reveal that what he’s climbing is a sign in the shape of a bottle reading “Grand Canyon Cola”] -display at the supermarket. Donald: Ah, I miss them so much. But we need this job. So tell me about your family. Gabby: I was raised by warrior monks who spoke only the language of the blade. [stabs the wooden knife she whittled into a counter] [then slices it cleanly in half with her sword] Donald [flinching]: Ah-hah.

-

[security camera reveals the triplets coming out of the bathroom after Scrooge] Donald: THE BOYS?! [Huey goes back to wash his hands] Donald: Wait til I get my hands on- [angry duck sounds] I’m gonna kill him! Glomgold: Ooh! Better idea! Nab the jewel *and* kill them all! Somebody’s angling for employee of the month! [laughs]

-

[Webby looking at phone nervously] Louie: Just call your grandma already! It’s no big deal. [presses the call button] Webby: Ah! [fumbles with phone] Louie: Remember, you’re at a friend’s house, okay? You got this. Webby: Hi Granny! I’m spending the night at a friend’s house so nothing is wrong! [hangs up] Louie: Oh, you don’t got this.

-

Glomgold: He thinks he’s *so* rich and *so* Scottish! Well, I’m wearing a kilt, McDuck! A KIIIIILT!

-

[Launchpad drops down with snakes on him] Huey: Launchpad? Are you okay? [Launchpad makes odd noises and stands up] Launchpad: A little snake venom nev-ve-eerrr [appears to fall asleep standing up] [Huey pushes at him] Launchpad [suddenly straightening up]: HI! NICE TO MEET YOU! I’M EVERYBODY’S FRIEND! [collapses]

-

Scrooge: Because you have no idea what you’re doing! Dewey: So show me! Give me a chance instead of lumping us all together in the backseat while you drive! Scrooge: I’m not lumping you all together! Dewey: Oh really? Which triplet am I? Scrooge: Itch...eh...Bluey?

-

Dewey: Let go of my uncle! Glomgold: No. Dewey: ...I wasn’t prepared for that.

-

Scrooge: What are you doing here, Flinty? Donald: What are YOU doing here, Scrooge? I told you to keep the boys safe! Scrooge: Ah, they’re perfectly fine. Donald: Oh yeah? Where are the other two? Scrooge: Back safe in the room with the fire and the snakes. Donald: What?! Glomgold: Ah, Scroogey! I see you know my newest employee. Scrooge: Your new job is with my sworn enemy? Donald: I can’t keep track of *all* your sworn enemies!

-

[phone ringing, Webby goes to answer] Louie: Oh no no no no Webby [answering]: Oh, look! Uncle Hampus is here and he only speaks Swedish. We don’t want to be rude, so...goodbye? Louie: And...you’re done. Yeah, you’re never gonna be able to back up that lie. That was crazy. Launchpad: Waaaah! [falls, grabs phone, speaks a bunch of Swedish into the phone]

-

Hack: But I thought employees were greatest treasure of all. Glomgold: Don’t be ridiculous! Treasure is the greatest treasure of all, that’s why it’s called treasure! Glomgold out!

-

Scrooge: That bauble? It’s nice, but it’s obviously super cursed. Glomgold: No it’s not! [people run, a huge tentacle slaps him into the water from behind]

-

Donald: It might be okay if the boys saw you every once in a while. [triplets celebrate] Donald: Sometimes. Like on birthdays. Or federal holidays. Nothing too- [houseboat bursts into flames] [everyone stares at Dewey] Dewey: Oooh, I may have left the engine running in the houseboat.

-

[Dewey lifts the corner of the picture depicting Scrooge and Donald on an adventure together to reveal a girl fighting someone and obviously adventuring with the other two] Dewey: Mom?
