01x19 - The Halloween Bash

Post by bunniefuu »

And so we've nearly
completed our surprise
student inspections.

There is but one more
dragon-in-training
left to evaluate.

Jake long,
the American dragon.

Why that boy
is still a member
of the order

is a mystery to me.

He's nothing
but trouble.

I'm confident the boy
will pass his inspections
with flying colors.

No doubt he's
in serious training
as we speak.

Ha! You all ready
for this?

'Cause I'm the what?

Dragon. That's right.

Y'all better
recognize it,
for goodness sake.

Just blow already,
will ya?

Aah!

Aah!

Oh, yeah!

Ring of fire, baby.

Ah, he never gets that one.



What is going on
in here?

Ring of fire, gramps.

I wasn't scared at all.

Jake, you have to take
your dragon training
more seriously.

Come on, gramps.
What's wrong with
having a little fun?

Nothing, but only
at the proper place
and time.

You must find balance.

How's this for balance?

N.Y.c. What?

Ready, grandpa?

Whoa!

Jake, please
lock up the shop.

Haley and I are going
treat-and-tricking.

That's trick-or-treating,
grandpa.

Now, let's move.
I'll explain on the way.

"You must find balance."

Eh-heh!
Gramps is whack.

I got mad balance.
I got--oh!

Whoa!

A dragon!

Aah!
Huh?

[Siren, tires screech]

Ya heard!

Jake! Get back
to work!

Aw, man.

Aah! Where did you
get that amazing
Halloween costume?

You're the best-looking
dragon in New York.

Hey, if I could
arrest someone for
having an amazing costume,

you'd be in for life.

Happy Halloween.
[Chuckles]

Yo! That's right.
It's Halloween.

Heh! You'd
hardly know it, to
look at your costume.

Those scales look like
oversized tiddlywinks.

And are we
to actually believe

that dragons
use words like "yo"?

Yo, believe this.

[Crowd gasps]

Cool!
It's incredible.

This holiday just
got a lot more fun.

A party?
No way, kid.

Are you listenin'
to me?

The old man never forgave me
after the last party I had.

Oh, heh... Oh!

[Toot]

[Squeak]

So...

How was your trip?

I did hard time in
obedience school for that one.

I may never heel.

Get it? "Heel"?

Ah, ya heel and ya--
Ayg ayg ayy!

Yo, fu,
I was a full dragon
on the street,

we have the chance
to rock the greatest
Halloween party ever!

Unless he hears
this rockin' sound system

trix and I are hookin' up.

We gonna
shake this joint
off the hinges.

Check it out, fu.
We'll invite everyone,

not just kids
from school,

but trolls, pixies,
brownies.

You're talkin' poodles!

Spud, you draw up
the flyers.

Trixie, finish rigging
the sound system.

I'll order up
the dessert.

Anybody allergic
to butterscotch?

The plural of "poodle"
is actually "poodi."

Huh? What? It is!!

Who's ready to party!

Begin!

I believe that the young one
showed great potential

in his tests
on grotto island.

He demonstrated skill,
bravery, selflessness.

And rebelliousness
unparalleled.

I, for one,
will be shocked

if we find anything
different tonight.

Is it time, master?

Not yet, huntsgirl.

Soon your destiny
will be fulfilled.

People say Halloween
is about a lot of things:

Decorations,
haunted houses, costumes.

Truth is, Halloween
is about the kid,

not pennies for charity,
not glow sticks,

and for the love
of all that is good,

not apples.

But an apple a day--

Bottom line:
The person with
the most candy wins.

You've put a lot
of thought into this.

Oh, I've been
b*rned before.

Now, good costumes
reap the best candy

and everybody
loves a Princess.

I even made up some
special 8 x 10 glossies

to sign for all the fans
I'm going to have.

[Ding-dong]

Trick or treat.

Holy candy corn!

That costume
is absolutely precious.

It's just
a little something
I threw together.

Would you care
for a glossy?

Little boy,
you have the best costume
of the night.

Why--ah-ha! You look like
a wise old Chinese man.

Well, actually...

[Techno-pop plays]

Hey, sweeties,
nice costume. Ow!

Too bad one of you
had to be the back
half of the suit.

Guess you lost
the coin toss, huh?

[Chomp]

"We'll just go
as ghosts," you said.

"Nobody will wear
a good costume,"
you said.

Are you, like,
animatronic?

I'm whatever you
want me to be, doll face.

Oy!

Ah ha ha!
Ah ha ha!

Yum yum.
Yum yum.

That troll
just whacked an lcd,
a tube, and a plasma

in 3 fell swoops.

You can't make an omelet
without breakin' a few tvs.

At least, not a TV omelet.

Yo, trix, I thought you
were working on tunes.

Check it. I set the speakers
up on maximum boppage, yo.

Uh, kid, this thing's
gettin' kinda out of
hand, don't you think?

What's really
breaking you, fu dog?

A couple of tvs...

Or barriers between
magical creatures
and humans!

You just want to strut
your dragon six-pack
in front of girls.

This is so
not about showing off.

Here. Let me
get that for ya.

Don't sweat it, fu.

[Heavy metal plays]

Whu--oh!
Ah!

Whu-uh-uh!
Ah-ah ah!

Ok, nothing else
is gonna get broken.

Dragon's honor.
[Crash]

I've never seen
so many Benjamins!

Ok, maybe people
aren't impressed
with princesses anymore,

but who wouldn't be amazed
by a Princess dragon?

[Ding-dong]

[Gasp]

You are magnificent!

Um, I was talking to
this wise old Chinese man
here, scaly face.

Hyah, you are right,
Haley.

The best costumes
do reap the best candy.

Is keeping his student
under perfect discipline
and control.

Ahh! Here we are.

To visit
a sacred dragon
training space.

I've never had so much
sugar and hoagies
in my life.

Straw hat for dessert,
and stick a fork in me.

[Burp] Too bad
the topping truck
never showed.

You guys order
the butterscotch?

[Dance-mix plays]

I'm flyin'!

No. I am certain
the American dragon
is behind this mess.

I'm, like,
this party is so lame.

Please tell me
that doofus ogre
has stopped looking at me.

I mean, heh,
he's an ogre.

Those flying things
are hot. Ow!

You can't
even see the wires
in their costumes!

Up high, homies!

That's
my throwing arm,
dude.

Eh, I'm startin'
to rethink this whole
party thing, kid.

You bring magical creatures
and nonmysticals together...
[Teeth chattering]

And all you get
is massive property damage.

Ugh, du-beh nyug!

It isn't a party
until something
gets damaged!

I think we need to pump
some more bass.

Spud:
Yo, kick it!

Whaaa!

Whoa! Whaaaaa!

Ok, so things
are a little
out of control,

mermaids are mixing
with the math nerds,

ogres are ogling
cheerleaders...

And goths are groovin'
with the goblins.

I just want us
to have this one night
to really get down.

Trick or treat.

[Gasp] Brilliant!

Little boy,
that old-bald-man-
with-beard costume

is just brilliant.
Bravo!

Winning isn't everything,
granddaughter.

But it sure beats
a sackful of apples.

[Heavy metal plays]

Whoo hoo hoo.

I don't think
the boy is here.

Perhaps we have
the wrong address after all.

Spud: Give it up
for the stylings
of draggy-j!

Hey, yo, dj,
you ready?


on the clock.


on the tock!

Staple it shut,
potato face.

We want to
hear some beats!

Don't be a tater hater, man.

Gents, ladies,
griffins, and pixies,

let me introduce
draggy-j!

Eh... dragon council?

We are here for
a surprise inspection,

and we are indeed surprised.

Look, I can explain.

Butterscotch
in the hizzy!

Wait! No--whup!

Never in
all my years

have is seen
such a reckless display

I had such hope for you,
American dragon.

It's just a party, yo.
I've been training
my tail off.

Sometimes you
gotta cut loose.

As a dragon,
it is your destiny

to act as guardian,
protector, and champion.

There is no room
for cutting loose.

No, listen, please!
I'm sorry. I was just--

I am the one who's sorry,
dragon long.

Dude, they made
his costume disappear.

We're not
the lamest ones
at the party anymore!

Uh, yeah,
you still are.

Hey, yo,
that trick was
off-the-hook.

That trick was young
Mr. Long's dragon powers

being sucked from his soul.

Talk about k*lling
the party vibe.

What?

You can't!

I'm sorry, Mr. Long.

Your dragon powers
have been deactivated
until further notice.

Jake long, you
and master...

Gramps?
The old man?

Are hereby suspended
from the dragon order.

Again,
I am sorry.

Well, I,
for one, not

I'm feeling that
we're losing some
momentum here.

Er, uh... Punch-diving!

I never should
have thrown this party.

Yeah. I should have
stopped you, kid.

I was blinded
by dreams of "poodi."

Oh, "poodi."

It's not
your fault, foo.

I'm the one who messed up.

I gotta get outta here.

He was never
one of us.

You shouldn't
be sorry.

He had great potential,
Chang,

and, frankly,
I'm a little concerned

that you didn't see
anything good in--

[cat yowls]

Shh!

Listen.

Uhh!
Oh!

What?
Argh!

Arrrrrr!
Unh!!

Release us at once,
huntsclan.

But I worked so hard
procuring
that thing there.

Besides,
you're the guests
of honor tonight.

Guests? For what?

Tonight, huntsgirl
shall finally pass
from apprentice

to a full member of
the hunt's clan...

By slaying my first dragon.

The huntsclan.

Dragon-up...

Whuu-oh!

No! Wait!

Oh, man!

She's had surgery to make it
look like she's a goblin.

N-o! Spells
"I don't think so."

Hey!

Oh, look!

It's the rapper dragon.

Without the dragginess.
What a drag.

Guys?

I need a lift, yo?

Boring.

Who cares?
He's cute.

Thanks. Now follow that,
uh, um...

Huntsvehicle.

Haley:
Trick or treat.

Wow! You two
look amazing!

And, you, that old man head
is perfect!

Apples be darned.
Candy all around.

Who knew all I needed
for a great costume

was some cotton balls,
a couple marbles,

yes. I'm glad
you are finally
getting all my--

Uh, I mean,
so much candy.

Wow! Look how much
candy they have!

It's
a Halloween
miracle.

We got problems here,
dog man:

The council
yanked Jake's dragonosity,

and Trixie's costume's
gone from all that
to all flat.

Yo, what are we gonna do?

Well, we gotta
fix this thing.

I'm trying!

This patch
isn't working, man.

I ain't talking
about that.

Wha-ah-ah whu-whu
wha-wha!

Listen up, people!
If it weren't for Jake,

you wouldn't have had
this rockin' party
to go to tonight.

And now he needs our help!

Helpin' people?
♪ La-ame ♪

The bratster is out.

Ungracious guests
make me angry.

Ya-oh!

Hey, baby...

Nice tail.

I definitely need some air soon.

Now, what do you say
we get to cleanin'
this place up

and if you
won't do it for me,
do it for Jake, huh?

Yeah!
Yeah!

Trixie, spudsy,
time to get sudsy.

They're going
into a graveyard
on Halloween.

That so 5-minutes-ago.

That saying is


You are.

Nyou are.

Uh, guys?

Are you still here?

Whoa!

Huhh! Ooh!

Ha! That's what
I'm talkin' about.

Doesn't mean I don't
got mad skills--uhh!

Never mind.

Congratulations,
council members.

Two of you
will be the first

to see the ancient
huntsclan slaying rite,

in which huntsgirl
shall ascend from squire
to full hunstman.

Sadly, one of you
will not be able
to witness the rite,

but you will
get the privilege
of participating in it.

You won't get away
with this, huntsman!

The whole of the order
will come after you.

It's so difficult
to flush dragons out
of hiding as it is.

Huntsclan, gag our guests.

I'm finding their
prattle distracting.

Unh!
Argh!
Ugh!

Those dragons need a dragon.

Listen, we had this party,
and there's butterscotch
in the cash register,

and the huntsmen
grabbed them, and they're
gonna slay them all, and--

Grandpa, come on!
This is serious!

Serious?
Lighten up, doodley.

It's Halloween.

Why are you dressed
like my grandfather?

Everyone's doing it.

It's the hottest costume
going.

Eh, but--but I...

I gotta find gramps!
Eh...

What you gotta do
is relax.

Halloween is a time
to par-r-r-Ty!

Whoop de-doo.

That's it.

Time to party.

Wisdom at last comes
to the young one.

Where'd that come from?
Ooh! How weird!

I wanna see my reflection
in those floors.

[To himself]
Ooh, I don't look
so good from that angle.

What is that thing?

Jake:
Yo, fu, my mans.

I thought we were
havin' some fun.

Did you, uh,
get ahold of some
bad candy corn, kid?

But this party is one thing
we got plenty of.

Huntsmaster:
So begins our ancient
rite of passage.

Huntsgirl, have you
selected your prey?

Yes.

This one.

An excellent choice.

Do you, huntsgirl,

pledge fealty and allegiance
to the huntsclan?

Huntsgirl, begin your days
as a true huntsman, and--

Jake: Here comes the jams!

Oh--

Who dares?!

[Lively tune plays]

Our sound system
rocks!

Yeah, it rocks!

Oy! Oy!

What the--

Uhh!

♪ All hallow's Eve
is what we need ♪

♪ It's the Ace up the sleeve,

[Partygoers cheer]

Uhh!
Uhrr!

[Whack]
Ah!
Ah!

Butterscotch
in the hizzy!

Uhh!
Oh!

Enough!

[Music winds down]

Huntsclan,
take them!

The only thing
your huntsclan will take
is a b*ating.

[Gasp]

Retreat!

Dude,
I don't know how Jake
did the special-effects,

but this haunted house
dealie is off the hook!

Uhh!
Uhh!

Watch it!

Oh, sorry,
dude.

Huhh!

Eh!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Right! You better run. Hey!

Eh, this thing
is pointy.

However
unconventionally
you did it,

you saved us.

I mean, I got kicked out
of the order for partying,

but this partying
is what saved all y'all.

There's a whole lot
of parts to this kid:
Human and dragon,

it's the whole package
that came to the rescue.

Counselors,
surely you're
not considering

reinstating
the boy?

We aren't considering it.

We're doing it.

But his lack
of discipline.

Is exactly
what saved you

from becoming
someone's prey.

Welcome back
to the order,
American dragon.

Thanks, yo.

Seems like a good reason
to party, yes?

Yes!!
Yes!!

Give us a b*at
to trick
or treat!

[Music plays]

We don't have to
tell gramps about
all this, right?

Eh, I don't know.
It's a pretty big deal,

and me and gramps
have been friends
for a long--

Ooh-ah...
Hahma-ma-ma-ma!

Kid, I don't think we
need to tell the old man
anything ever again.

So, sweetheart,
how 'bout later you
come over to my place

for a little
trick or treat, huh?

Hyuh-yuh-yuh-yuh!

Haley,
was that the door?

I'll go check.

There was no one there.

Hey, I won!

Indeed, you did,
young one.

Indeed, you did.
