03x05 - Amnesia Rules

[bunniefuu]

We're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!

The two of us aren't built
for the action stuff, Pigsy!

We're sidekicks at best, you know it!

Wait! Pigsy, it's--

Dangerous to wake someone
from a transcendental meditation.

I know, I know.
But so is whatever is out there!

Okay. I have an idea.

I've been saving this
for a special occasion.

Tang, I present the Chaos-Ultra
Ghost Pepper of Doom!

It's so hot, you'll get third-degree burns
just from looking at it.

Are you sure you should be keeping that
in your pocket?

If anything's gonna wake up
Monkey King, it'll be this.

Incoming!

Stand back, Master!

Sun Wukong will handle this demon!

Guess I must've scared it off.

Master, it's safe to come out now.
You too, Piglet.

-Master?
-Piglet?

Fine. Zhu Bajie. Better?

What is happening right now?

Monkey... Sun Wukong,
who exactly do you think we are?

What kind of question is that, Master?

Unless...

Master, you've lost your memories!

You have to remember who you are!

That's Zhu Bajie, the celestial swine!

This is Sha Wujing
of the flowing sand river,

and you are the Great Monk Tang Sanzang!

We're on a journey to deliver
sacred texts to the west!

I'm your loyal companion,
bound to keep you safe from demons

who know if they eat you,
they'll become immortal!

You have to remember!

Okay, okay. I remember.

Excellent. Where's my staff?

See, Pigsy? I told you.

This is exactly why you don't wake someone
from a transcendental meditation.

We've broke the Monkey King.

He thinks he's his past self
and we're his old companions!

If we don't find a way
to bring our Monkey King back,

we're gonna be stuck with this one.

Ah, my trusty staff.

So, this is just amnesia rules, right?

So we bonk him on his dumb head,
and boom, back to normal.

What'd you say, Piglet?

Piglet? Oh, that's it!

Master, just say the word

and this little piggy
will be a steamed ham.

All right, let's calm down.

Let's not get carried away...

The demon! It took our master!

We got to do something!

Exactly. Let's go!

There, there, sweet Monk.

Demon! Don't eat me!

What? No! I'm not...
I'm clearly a beautiful queen.

-Right.
-Oh, you're afraid?

Don't be.

I saved you
from the hideous scorpion demon

and brought you to my castle.

Oh, yes, a lovely scorpion-themed castle.

Okay. So, I'm gonna go.

You can't leave!

Okay, listen, I've been kidnapped
by a lot of lesser demons,

so, there's nothing you could do
that would convince me to...

live here forever.

Well, I am a little peckish.

But don't go getting ideas.

Whatever do you mean?

What does this have to do
with getting Tang back?

Is this the same sort of garbage you tell
MK instead of talking to him straight?

MK? Huh?

Course you don't remember the kid.

One day, you are gonna grow up
to be a terrible mentor!

Ha, Zhu Bajie!

Can you imagine me teaching someone? Ha!

Can we go find "Master" already?

You know as well as I do
that in order to find out

what type of demon we're dealing with,

we need to talk to the local Tudi.

-The local what now?
-Tudi!

Tudi! Tudi!

Tudi! Tudi! Tudi!

Tudi! Tudi?

Tudi!

Ah, there you are.

He lives in a hole?

O Great Tudi.

A demon has captured our master
and we fear for his safety.

So, you heard of anything like that?

Whoa, interesting. Go on.

Yes, right. Go on.

You don't say.

Thank you for your knowledge.

What did he say?

The demon we seek is... in that castle!

Finding that out took all night?

No, of course not.

This guy's just awesome!
So many great stories.

So, Great One, what brings you
to this part of the world?

Great One?

I can roll with that. We're on a quest.

Another evil Demon is trying
to end all life as we know it.

So we're looking for a weapon
to defeat her.

You don't happen to have a ring yay big?

Made of fire? No?

Okay, well, I should probably be on my--

Just a few more bites.

Okay, maybe just one more bowl.

Unhand my master, evil Demon!

I am Sun Wukong
and the Monk is under my protection!

Protection from what? A beautiful queen?

Look, lady, we are not gonna let you
eat my friend!

I would never!

Oh, really? Then why all the illusions?

Okay, fine! Fine!

I'm a demon, okay? You happy?

I just wanted to be a beautiful queen,
but, God, I'm a demon!

Hey, so, just to be clear,
eating me won't make you immortal.

Of course it will!
He's the Great Monk Tang Sanzang!

Ignore him. It's the pepper talking.

For the last time,
I don't want to eat anyone!

Oh, so, can we just go?

What? No, you can't just go!

You have to stay forever!

Don't worry, Master.
Here comes Monkey King!

My staff.

Tang, did she hurt you? Lock you up?

Well...

She kept giving you noodles,
so you wouldn't leave, huh?

You should really get the recipe.

Wait!

I get that you're alone,
but lying about who you are,

forcing people to be your companions,
it's not the answer.

I've been here by myself for so long.

I heard Monkey King talk
about you being his companions.

Well, that's all I ever wanted.
Friendship.

You can't steal friendship.

It's something that's earned.

He's right. The three of us are friends
because we choose to be.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're friends?

Of course we are. Everyone needs friends.

Can you imagine what I'd be like
without friends?

I'd probably turn into
a really manipulative jerk or something.

Anyway...

You just need to find someone
that wants to stay here with you

in this lovely home, forever.

Yeah, yeah.

But where am I gonna find
someone like that?

I just had the best idea.

Oh, well, that's...

Wow, you really know
how to just keep on talking, don't you?

We can't leave him like this.
I think he's getting worse.

Oh, here's my staff.

I don't know. I'm starting to like him.

"Amnesia rules."

I'm gonna find something
to bonk him on the head!

Don't just...

You know, they really got
your face just right.

Super on model.

Yeah. So, hey, listen.

I guess I just wanted to say,
before you turn back to...

Maybe you ain't so bad
for the kid after all.

Just do me a favor.
Keep him safe, all right?

I mean, when we get
the three rings of Samadhi...

-Four rings.
-What? Four? You never mentioned four!

-Did it work?
-Tang! What are you doing?

What? You're the one who said
to hit him in the head.

Yeah, but I didn't say k*ll him!

Hey! Why is my mouth so hot?

Hey! Why are you hugging me?

Oh, it worked! You got your memories back!

Pigsy gave you a pepper.
I told him not to...

Just do me a favor.
Keep him safe, all right?

I mean, when we get
the three rings of Samadhi...

-Four rings.
-What? Four? You never mentioned four.

Huh. Four.

Huh? What was that, Pigsy?

Oh, nothing.
