01x11 - The Impawssible Dream

[bunniefuu]

On such a little puck

What's the story, Wishbone?Do you

think it's worth a look?It

kind of seems familiar Like a

story from a book

Shake a leg now, Wishbone Let's

wag another tail

Sniffing out adventure With

Wishbone on the trail Come on,

Wishbone

I got it! Here you

go. Thanks, Mr. Bone. Hey, can I sh**t

now?Joe?Hey, how

about a game of hoops?Not now. We've got

to finish these math problems.

Hey, what'd you get on problem five?

Well...



How?I got 24.7 on problem 5.

This guy scored 2036 consecutive

free throws. Oh, I guess you didn't do

problem 5. Hey, does this thing have a

section on food?

Eighty-six, David. Eighty-six?

On what problem?86 consecutive free

throws in 5 minutes. That's all I'd need

to hold the record for any kid under



Encyclopedia of World Records. Do

you really think it's possible?Sure.

Everybody in this book has done something

incredible, and I want to be one of

them. I want to do something nobody else

can do, something impossible.

Yes, try for the impossible, Joe.

Take the leap and I'll jump with you.

We'll be just like Don Quixote and Sancho

Panza. Don Quixote and Sancho

Panza are the main characters in the book

Don Quixote by Miguel Cervantes. Oh,

I like that. It was written in two parts,

the first part in 1605 and the second

part in 1615. The story starts out in the

quiet countryside of La Mancha, Spain,

where Don Quixote lived.

When Don Quixote had nothing to do, which

was most of the time, he took to reading.

He read everything he could find about

medieval Knights and their fantastic

adventures. His imagination was

filled with tales of famous challenges

and tournaments, battles

with giants and other enchanted

creatures, damsels in distress.

Good morning, senior. It's time to eat

breakfast. Uncle, you have to eat

something. It's time to put down the

book. Yes.

Time has come to put down the book

and to take up the sword.

Uncle, what are you talking about from

this day forward?I shall be known

as Don Quixote de la Mancha.

I shall right every wrong,

search out every possible danger,

but I shall emerge

victorious.

Why don't you have a little breakfast

first?

I shall be crowned with eternal fame and

honor for my noble deeds

one day. A book shall be written

about my adventures, the exploits

of the great Knight of La

Mancha. But First things

first, I need my armour.

But uncle, you know, the stories in these

books are not true. Trust me, there are

no Knights in this day and age.

Chivalry is dead. And that's for sure.

I was born to revive the order of

knighthood.

Leave me alone, please.

I must prepare to sally forth

into the world.

A certain Sancho Panzer to see you,

senor?Splend. Part-time,

full-time, salary, benefits. I need

someone to be my squire. All right, I

have one question. What's a squire?A

squire is... An assistant, a

helper. As a

knight, I'm about to embark on

great and marvelous

adventures. I need someone

like you to look after things, to help me

with my armor, take care of the

provisions and the food. Uh, food.

Did you say I'll be in charge of the food?

Yes. Oh, I am going to like this

job. Every knight needs a lady to

whom he dedicates his brave deeds.

You and I will serve the

Lady Dulcinea El

Taboso. This Dulcinea

El Tabasco. Whatever. Does she live

around here?No, noShe

lives in a distant castle. She is the

inspiration for everything I do.

Wow. Are you

interested in the position?What about

raises?Promotions?Any chance for

advancement along the way?You must

know, friend Sancho,

that it is always the practice for a

knight to win the Kingdom

and then to give it to his Squire to

govern. I promise if you stick with me,

you will get your own Kingdom someday.

All right, sign me up for the Kingdom

plan. I must warn you.

Some of these adventures will be

dangerous. I shall have to fight off

giants and Dragons.

You must not help me in these fights.

Only a knight is qualified to do battle

with the forces of evil.

OK, let me see if I got this straight.

You handle the Dragons and I handle the

snacks. That's my offer. Deal.

Let's hit the road. All right, who

wants to play with the cute little dog?

How's the math going?Uh oh, homework

patrol! We're busted. We're

kind of taking a break. Sort of. Well,

just for this afternoon, I want you to

stop thinking about world records and

concentrate on getting ready for your

math test tomorrow. My record's not so

good in math. Well, just do your best.

Study. And then you can work on the world

record in free throws. Hey, you know what?

If you did set the record, I bet you

would drive Demont and Jones crazy.

Is Demont giving you a hard time, Joe?You

know, Demont. He's always on my case.

Anything I do, he has to do better. But

at least you know you're not in

competition with him, even if he doesn't

know it. OK, you guys, back to the math.

I want to see proof of studying in one

hour. Oh, and

don't forget, Wanda wants to interview

you. She's doing an article for the

Chronicle about your record-setting

event. She's very excited.

Defense. Defense.

Ha ha. I smell danger.

OK, Joe, I know you're in training, so

I'll just ask you a couple of quick

questions. Why don't you talk to me?After

all, I'm the one who made him what he is

today. Joe,

what's it like to be making your dream of

getting into the Encyclopedia of World

Records come true?It's pretty good, I

guess. I'm a little nervous. Oh, don't be

nervous. This is big, Joe. Very big.

You're gonna be famous. You're gonna go

down in history. I

think I better practice, Miss Gilmore. Of

course. I'll just watch. Go ahead.

It's okay, Joe. You just gotta relax. You

can't psych yourself out. You gotta see

yourself doing it right every time. Yeah,

you've gotta... Visualize it. Okay,

buddy. Stay loose. Stay cool. Keep your

eye on the prize. You ready?Yeah.

Set. Go.

Visualize. Like Don Quixote. He

could see things that no one else could.

So, are we there yet?

Fortune has smiled upon us.

Look yonder, Sancho. An

army of outrageous giants.

I will fight and overcome them all for

the honor of my Lady Dulce de Altaboso.

It will be my first great victory.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but

what giants?The right in front of us.

Those creatures waving their enormous

arms. Uh, I don't see

giants. I see windmills. I

tell you, they are giants.

Stand back while I engage

in dreadful combat. Don Quixote?Stand,

cowards! Fly not

from this single night!

Uh-oh.

That's a couple of cracked ribs. At

least. Don Quixote. Are you all

right?I told you it was a windmill. You

can't fight with a windmill.

You don't understand, Sancho.

Some cursed enchanter

changed the giant into a

windmill. In order to rob me of my

glorious victory. Well, you win

some, you lose some. But as long as

there's life, there's hope. Yeah,

no guts, no glory. I must

get up and go looking for the

next adventure.

But there's one problem. What's that?

I don't think I can get up. You

don't need to. Just walk this way. Yeah.

My helmet

destroyed in battle.

I vow to replace this

shattered helmet with a

better one. A good helmet is hard to

find. They just don't make them like they

used to. Mark my words, Sancho,

I am the knight who recapture.

The golden helmet of

Mambrino.

Time for a picnic.

Look, Sancho, coming toward

us. Oh, I hope it's dinner. Tell me

what you see. OK, don't tell me.

It's a guy with a bow on his head.

No. It's the golden helmet of

Mambrino. Oh, yeah. Stand back,

Sancho. Oh, boy. Here

we go again.

Go no further, vile wretch.

Surrender Mambrino's helmet to

a true knight of valor. I'm just a barber

on my way to the nearest village.

Surrender the helmet. What helmet?

OK, time out. Don Quixote. Let me see if

I can work a deal here.

Look, he wants that thing on your head.

But this, this is just a bowl. It's my

barber's basin. It's old. It's

it's cracked. It's it's junk.

He can have it. Thanks. It means a

lot to him. Place the helmet on the

ground between us and I shall spare you

from combat. It's

it's yours. You may go in peace.

Bye. It was nice meeting

you. You know,

I could see pasta in this bowl or a

salad. Oh, better, better fruit.

Strive to be worthy of this

golden helmet. Well, there you

go. One man's bowl is another man's...

helmet?

Stop time. Yes,



world record in the making. I taught him

everything he knows. And we're getting

there. We're getting there. Yeah. Hey,

Joe.

Nothing but net. What are you doing here,

Demont?Well, I figured if you really

wanted to practice, you'd need me here.

What makes you think I'd need you?

Joe. Don't you want to see how you do

with someone like me in your face?This

doesn't have anything to do with you,

Demont. Oh, really?Well, I

just heard that Joe's not going to be the

only one going for a record tomorrow.

What are you talking about, Demont?I'm

talking about setting a world record for

consecutive free throws in 5 minutes.

And I'm going to be the one to do it. See

you tomorrow, Joe.

The news is fast breaking. A new

challenger has appeared on the scene.

Joe, do you have do you have any comment

about this recent turn of events?

How do you feel about your new rival on

the court?

can't believe it. He just had to get in

on this. He just had to make it

harder. Don't worry about him, Joe. Come

on, you can do it. We'll all be there

for you. That's right, buddy. We're your

biggest fans. Me especially.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza became

famous throughout Spain. Everywhere they

stopped along the road, people had heard

of them. But everybody loved to hear of

their strange adventures. First,

we came across an outrageous

giant. It was a windmill.

It was a giant. Windmill.

Giant. Okay. It was a giant that looked

like a windmill. Who's telling this

story, you or me?

Sorry, sorryGo ahead. It was a windmill.

Never mind. You talk. I'll eat.

I am honored to be in your

gracious presence, my

lady.

He may not be the best looking knight,

but he's certainly the most noble.

I'm his squire, you know.

Meanwhile, Don Quixote's niece and

housekeeper wanted him to come home. They

called in an expert to help them. Senor

Carrasco. I think he's lost his wits.

He truly believes that he's living out

the life of a knight errant. But really,

he's just making a fool of himself. So

how can I help you?You've

been to the university. You're smart.

And clever. You can think of a plan to

bring him back home.

You say he won't listen to reason?No. But

he does believe in these books. He does

try to follow all the codes of honors if

he really were a knight out of one of

these stories. Oh, yes,

absolutely.

And I think I have an idea.

I shall have to play a trick on him. What

do you mean?Don't

worry, I will find your

uncle and I will bring him home.

I will beat him at his own game.

Oh, look who's here.

May the best man win.

Okay, you two. Let's sh**t some free

throws. Afternoon, Ms. Halvott. Joe,

Demont. You ready to give it a try?I am

Coach Menendez. Mr. Kim here agreed to be

the other witness. Who wants to go first?

I'll go first. If you don't

mind. Go ahead. All

this excitement is making this little

sidekick hungry. Hmm

You don't Quixote de la Mancha. I

am he. Do you serve the lady

Dulcinea El Toboso?I do

with all my heart.

Dulcinea El Toboso is the fairest,

purest lady in all the land.

I tell you she is not. I tell you she

is. She is not. She is.

Oh, no. Don't get him started. You must

prepare to defend the honor and

reputation of the lady you serve.

I will gladly fight for it. Whoever

loses this challenge must submit himself

to the demands of the victor. If I win,

Don Quixote, you must do whatever I

say. But I shall not

lose.

Sancho, prepare to

watch my glorious victory in the name of

Dulcinea el Taboso. Uh, Don

Quixote, one word for you. Windmill!

One for the home team!

I am victorious. You

must swear that the Lady Don't

Senaya El Taboso is the fairest,

purest lady in the land. I

swear it. I am

satisfied. I will

spare your life. You may go

now. Come,

Sancho. We must continue our

journey. This calls for a celebration.

Let's stop at the next inn for dessert. I

will not be beaten by a madman.

I will challenge you again, Don Quixote.

And this time, it's personal.

Time. How'd I do?



enough to beat the record of 85.

All right, your turn now.

Come on, Joe. You can do it. Come on,

Joe. You can do it. Come on, Don Quixote.

You can do it. Come on, Don Quixote. You

can. Haven't we done this already?

Prepare to meet your doom, Don Quixote.

OK, you guys know the rules. Shake hands

and come out josting.

Oh, this is hard on the nerves.

Don Quixote! Buddy! Pal! I'm coming!

Back off, you big bully! Don Quixote de

la Mancha. You are Vanquist. You

must swear that Dulcinea Altoboso is not

the best lady in the land. If you do not

swear it, I will take your life.

Then take my life, for I will not

dishonor the name of Dulcinea.

I choose an honorable death over a

cowardly life. I will spare your

life on this condition. You do not have

to dishonor your lady's name.

Instead, you must return home at once.

You must lay down your arms, take off

your armor, and retire from

knighthood. I will do as you say,

as long as you agree that the reputation

of my beloved Dulcinea

remains. Unharmed.

It is agreed. I am satisfied.

Go home, Don Quixote, and live

a quiet life.

Time.

Well, you certainly beat the record for

today. You got 81. But

I'm afraid you'd have to have at least 86

to beat the world record as it stands.

I'm sorry, son. You were very close.

You were great. But I didn't do the

impossible. I'm not going down in

history or anything. I'm

not extraordinary. Hey, you don't have to

perform impossible feats to be

extraordinary. Just

live your life. Life is an ongoing

adventure. And when

something doesn't go exactly the way you

hoped, you just have to be brave enough

to go on to the next thing. Sorry, Miss

Gilmore. You don't have much of a story

to write. I certainly do.

You followed through on your dream. You

didn't buckle under the pressure, the

agony of defeat and the thrill of

victory in the same moment.

It's a great story.

Well, Sancho.

This is the end of the road. Really.

You mean this is it?I

have given my word. Well, we've had our

ups and downs, but it's been great.

Perhaps when we return home, we could try

another profession. Something as fun as

being Knight and Squire. We could start a

new kind of life. We could

become shepherds. Shepherds?Yes, I've

done some reading about it. According to

the books I've read, shepherds

live in the fields, free as birds. I

could get into that. We want to be

shepherds. We must have the right

kind of names. I'll

call myself Quixotis,

and you can be Antsino.
