04x14 - Ma-Mutt's Confusion

[bunniefuu]

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING MANIACALLY]

MUMM-RA:
Uh, take a look at this, Ma-Mutt.

Cats' Lair melting
like a baked Alaska.

[MUMM-RA LAUGHS]

You may think, Ma-Mutt,
that this is an illusion of the cauldron.

Not so. Oh, no.

[CHUCKLING]

This time, we shall succeed.

And this will be the instrument
of our victory.

This, Ma-Mutt, is the boiling...

...Babylonian Barbarian Boiler!

Our ancient ancestors used it
to liquefy their enemies...

...just as we will use it...

...to liquidate the Thundercats!

[GRUNTING]

Well, don't just stand there, Ma-Mutt.

Help me get rid of these
blasted bandages.

[GROWLS]

Ma-Mutt, no. Wait!

No, Ma-Mutt!

Stop it, I say. Stop!

[GROANING]

Ugh!

Get off of me, you craven cur.

I have had just about all
I can take of you.

One more mistake, Ma-Mutt...

...and you'll be pushed out
of this pyramid.

For good!

So...

...we will fill the bucket...

...with the cauldron's magical fluid...

...and we will fuel...

...the Babylonian Barbarian Boiler!

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

MUMM-RA:
Mm-hm, mm....

One bucket of cauldron fluid...

...hardly moves the needle.

[MA-MUTT SLURPING]

MUMM-RA:
Aah!

No, no, you mangy mongrel hound.

[YELLING]

That is it. That's it!

I've had enough of you.

I gave you one more chance,
and you just blew it.

No! Get away from me.

You are a worthless disgrace
to all that's evil.

Now, get out of here.

Leave this pyramid.

Go on!

Eh, go on. Get out!

Scat.

I mean it.

And don't come back.

SNARF [PANTING]:
Hey. Wait for us, Thunderkittens.

Slow down! You're going too fast!

WILYKIT:
If you really wanna keep up, Snarf...

...you'll have to ride with us.

Uh.... Reow! Wilykit, you know I hate
these spaceboard contraptions.

Uh, gee, unc, be a sport.
Just this once.

[WHINING]
I wanna go on the exploration.

Eh, please? Eh, pretty please?
Pretty please?

All right, all right.

Just this once, though,
and don't go too fa--

Fa-- Fa-- Fast!

Well, what are we waiting for?
Let's go.

You've got it.

Hey, Wilykit,
that's the Jungle of Darkness.

Let's stay away from there.

SNARFER: Ah, come on, unc,
what harm can we come to?

WILYKIT:
We've got our Cats' Eyes.

So let's go take a look.
It'll be neat.

[THUDS THEN MA-MUTT HOWLS]

Did you hear that?

What? I didn't hear anything.
You've just got the jitters, Snarf.

[HOWLING]

There it was again.

I didn't hear anything.

SNARFER:
Uncle Snarf's right. I heard it too.

[HOWLING]

[CRASHES]

WILYKAT:
I heard it this time.

Let's go investigate.

[HOWLING THEN
WILYKAT AND SNARFER YELL]

[BOTH SCREAM]

[WILYKIT LAUGHS]

Look where you're going, Snarf.

Easy for you to say.

[HOWLING]

It's coming from over there.
It sounds like some kind of a dog.

[CATS' EYES WHIRRING]

WILYKIT:
Over there.

It looks like an animal trap.

You two stay here.
Wilykat and I will take a look.

WILYKIT: It's Ma-Mutt.
-It's a trap.

It must be.
Let's get out of here.

I don't think it is a trap.

And, anyway,
we wouldn't be Thundercats...

...if we refused to help someone
just because it might be dangerous.

PANTHRO:
Well, I'll be a son of a g*n.

Lion-O, Cheetara.
Come and look at this.

CHEETARA: I don't believe it.
LION-O: What in the--?

CHEETARA: It looks as though the
Thunderkittens have captured Ma-Mutt.

Captured? No.

Everyone seems quite friendly.

[LAUGHING]
Except for old Snarf.

WILYKIT:
So, Ma-Mutt, welcome to Cats' Lair.

Are you sure you're ready to try life
with the good guys?

Snarf, snarf.

[BARKING]

Gee, unc, I wish I knew
what he was saying.

Well, I, um.... Uh....

Uh, I guess he should meet the others,
uh, shouldn't he?

WILYKAT: Oh, what--?
WILYKIT: What was that?

[ALARM WAILING]

Action stations, Thundercats.

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

MUMM-RA: Oh, goodie, goodie,
goo drops. Heh-heh-heh.

Everything I dreamed is coming true.

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

WILYKIT:
Lion-O, Panthro!

Not now, Wilykit.
This is an emergency.

I know, but I'm sure Ma-Mutt
is trying to tell us something.

[MA-MUTT WHINING]

He certainly seems distressed.

But if he is trying to communicate
with us, what is he saying?

It's probably something bad.
Snarf, snarf.

We don't have time for this,
Thundercats, look.

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

Oh, my Babylonian Barbarian Boiler...

...works better
than even I could have hoped for.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, in just a few moments...

...Cats' Lair will be...

...an insignificant puddle...

...in an ocean of history.

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

[MUMM-RA YELLING]

No!

What happened? That beam died
as suddenly as it appeared.

My guess is we're only getting
a short reprieve.

So we better do some investigating.

I think Ma-Mutt is trying to tell us
something about that beam.

Gee, Panthro, maybe we could
figure some kind of translator...

...s0 he could speak to us.

Later, maybe, but right now,
we've got our hands full.

But maybe Ma-Mutt knows
how we can defend ourselves.

I know you mean well,
Thunderkittens...

...but inventing a way to talk to Ma-Mutt
could take a lot of time.

Time we should be using
to prepare our defenses.

SNARFER: Well, if Panthro can't take
the time to build a translator now...

...I guess I will. Yep.

Empty? But how can this be?

Hal

[MUMM-RA GRUNTING]

If I don't shut this blasted device down
and refuel it...

...it"'s going to blow my pyramid
into smithereens.

So far so good, Ma-Mutt.

It won't be long now
before we can understand you.

Ah.... Huh?

The fuel gauge hardly registers.

Oh, by all the ancient ones...

...this will take longer than I thought.

Ma-Mutt!

Where are you,
you accursed craven canine creature?

I need help!

LION-O: If we constructed
a bigger version of Lynx-O's shield...

...that might divert the beam, right?

PANTHRO:
Good thinking, Lion-0.

CHEETARA:
So, what are we waiting for?

Reow! Wilykat, snarf, snarf,
what's going on?

-SISSS is going on, unc.
-Sis?

I didn't know you had a sister.

No, no, no, SISSS.

Snarfer's InterSpecies
Speaking System.

-Here, put this on, unc.
-No way.

But if Ma-Mutt does know something
about the beam....

You're our only hope.

Why me?

I based its design on my brain waves,
and it, uh....

It will only work for snarfs.

At the moment, hmm,
I think.

You think?

Oh, all right, but just this once.
Snarf, snarf.

SNARFER:
Gee, you won't regret this, unc.

WILYKAT & WILYKIT:
Way to go, Snarf.

Stand by. Three, two, one.

Contact.

[SNARFER YELLING]

Switch it off!

Say something, Ma-Mutt.
Tell us what you know.

[SISS DEVICE WHIRRING]

Mumm-Ra.

Babylonian Barbarian Boiler.

[MUMM-RA GROANING]

This is too slow. Ah....

Where is that demented dog?

Ma-Mutt. Where are you? Huh?

Magic fluid.

Magic cauldron.

Oh, you miserable traitor, Ma-Mutt.

How dare you give my secrets away
to the Thundercats!

Silence, Ma-Mutt, and listen to me.

Arrgh.
Barbarian Boiler cannot work...

... without magic.

Silence, Ma-Mutt, and listen to me!

MUMM-RA:
Tell the Thundercats nothing!

Nothing, do you hear?

[BUZZING]

[SCREAMS]

Don't stop now, Ma-Mutt.
Tell us what you know!

My name is Ma-Mutt.

Adjutant to Mumm-Ra, the ever-living.

Dog license 3462. Woof.

We know all that. Snarf, snarf.

But tell us about the beam.

My name is Ma-Mutt.

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

Oh, you should know better...

...than to try to subvert my friends,
Thundercats. Heh-heh-heh.

Home, Ma-Mutt!

Come to me. Heel.

My name....

Home, Ma-Mutt. Heel!

[SCREAMING]

CHEETARA: How much longer
before we're ready, Thundercats?

I've got a bad feeling
we're in for more trouble very soon.

MUMM-RA:
You miserable ungrateful cur.

After all I've done for you...

...I don't deserve
to be treated this way.

Is this all the thanks I get?

SNARFER: Gee, if we could only get
Ma-Mutt back.

[WHIRRING]

Danger!

[expl*si*n]

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

It's meltdown time for Cats' Lair.

[BOILER EXPLODING]

MUMM-RA:
No!

Faster, Ma-Mutt. Faster.

This thing must have the worst
gas mileage on New Thundera.

[HUMMING]

Half full.

On your paws, Ma-Mutt!

Back to work.

Reow!
Is this going to work, Lion-O?

LION-O: There's only one way
to find out, Snarf.

Stand clear.

LION-O: / guess the trick is to fly
the shield into the beam...

... without the beam boiling me.

[GRUNTING]

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

MUMM-RA:
Your petty heroics...

...will not save the lair, Lion-O.

All I have to do
is turn up the power.

[WHIRRING]

-Oh!
-Snarf!

Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

[LION-O SCREAMS]

[BOTH GASP
AND LION-O GROANING]

WILYKAT: Hey, all right!
CHEETARA: Yeah!

ALL:
Thundercats, h*!

[YELLING]

No!

ALL:
Thundercats, h*!

MUMM-RA:
Ma-Mutt. Oh....

Ma-Mutt, where are you?

Yes, hang in there, my pet.

I'll find you.

I'll get you out of there.

WILYKIT: I could have sworn
Ma-Mutt wanted to be on our side.

WILYKAT:
He was on our side at first.

I wonder what changed his mind.

And what brought him to us
in the first place.

Mumm-Ra was probably
being mean to him. Snarf, snarf.

More likely it was some kind
of elaborate trap, if you ask me.

[LAUGHING]
Come on, Snarf.

You can't live your entire life
suspecting the worst of everyone.

You have to give them
the benefit of the doubt sometimes.

Oh, maybe, Lion-O,
but this whole episode proves one thing.

-What's that?
-You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

MUMM-RA [SOBBING]:
Ma-Mutt.

Thank the ancient spirits of evil.

I thought I lost you, my pet.

I know why you ran away
to the Thundercats.

I abused you.

I'm sorry.

From now on,
I'm going to do everything I can...

...to make you the most horrible...

...happiest hound in the universe.
