12x18 - Bully for Ethan

[bunniefuu]

Ha! With the platinum sword triose,
l can enter the locked chamber

and you will stand no chance.

Eeh! Read 'em and weep, suckers!

Whoa.

Not!

- Missed again, Derrick.
- Oh. Oh, great.

Thanks. l appreciate your support, man.

You don't need support, dude.
You need game.

- Ugh!
- fConner) Heads up!

Aah! What the...?

Hmm.

Hey!

What are you complaining about, geek?

First of all, my name is Ethan, not Geek.

And out of this whole field,
you had to kick the ball over there?

You really do need practice.

Well, look, Ethan, this is my field.
And l kick the ball where l wanna kick it.

Obviously, everywhere except the net.

- That's it.
- Hey, what's the big deal?

- Come on, party's over.
- You watch yourself, dweeb.

Derrick, chill.

Cool it.

No offense, Dr. O,

but you need some serious improvement
when it comes to organi ation.

That's why you're here.
Thanks for helping me out.

- What is all this stuff, anyway?
- Odds and ends.

Mostly from before l joined up
with Mercer.

l thought, as long as
l'm stuck in my Ranger form,

l may as well put the time to good use.

Wow.

- Nice hair.
- Hey, it was in style back then.

- Is this who l think it is?
- Man, that seems like a lifetime ago.

This picture was taken at our first dig.

- Who's that guy?
- His name's Terrence Smith.

Everyone called him Smitty.

- What happened to him?
- It's kind of sad, really.

He and l were up for the same job
at Anton Mercer Industries.

Anton chose me. So Smitty went
to work for another company.

Then there was this accident.

- Not really a happy family memento.
- l'm not even sure where it came from.

Just put it over there in that trash pile.

OK.

My lord, if we stop the Black Ranger
once and for all

the others will be at our mercy.

Zeltrax, l appreciate
your commitment to revenge...

but your obsession
with destroying Dr. Oliver

is getting in the way of my goal
to capture the White Ranger.

But, sir, what if l have a plan
that will accomplish both our goals?

l am not concerned with your goals.

But if you should happen
to destroy Dr. Oliver

in the course of serving mine...

so be it.

- Yes, master.
- Now, get back to work.

So, Zeltrax doesn't like Dr. Oliver.

Huh? You? How'd you...

Can't say l like him much, either.
Gives way too much homework.

Ha! Surrender at once.

What good is that gonna do?
You think my father's gonna let you

continue your quest for vengeance
once l'm out of the picture?

- How do you know about...
- l know lots of interesting things.

Like where Tommy Oliver's
most vulnerable.

- What game are you playing.
- No game. A simple exchange.

l'll help you get Tommy...
you help me get Mesogog.

lmpossible.
l would never betray my master.

That's fine. Nice knowing' you.

Wait.

Perhaps we should talk.

Hey, Conner, did you get the answer
to number five on Mercer's homework.

- It's gotta be a trick question.
- Do you know this guy?

- What's that got to do with you?
- Look, geek boy,

isn't there some kind of sci-fi convention
that you need to go to?

Oh, you really are cliché, aren't you?
Your parents must be so proud.

What did you just call me?
What did he just call me?

Why are you asking him?
Can't you figure it out for yourself?

That is it.
You're in need of a serious lesson.

Oh! Fine - bring it.

- Ethan, are you sure you wanna do this?
- Look, stay out of this, McKnight.

This is bemeen me and the geek.

(bell rings)

You know what? For the first time
in my life, l actually wanna go to class.

So, come on, guys.

You and me... after school.

Your friend won't be there to protect you.

What now?

(giggling)

Great. Like l don't have enough
to think about.

Wah! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

School for the misguided machines
is down the road.

Very funny.
But it's this school we're after.

- Get real, Zeltrax.
- This is very real.

Termitetron can destroy whole cities
in a matter of moments.

Turn over Dr. Oliver, or l will release him
on your fellow students.

- Not if l can exterminate him first.
- Stubborn as always.

Ready!

- DinoThunder!
- (Cassidy) fthan!

Perfect timing.

Now, those are what l call bullies.
Roll the camera, Devin.

No, stay back!

Ha! Ha!

(Termitetron and _eltrax laughing)

Great action.

- Aah!
- Hi-yah!

Great. Like l'm not late enough.

Ready.

DinoThunder, power up! Ha!

Yah!

Ptera Power! Yah!

Aah!

fYellow Ranger) Hey! Back off!

- You OK?
- Whoa.

- Little boy, why don't you step aside?
- Little boy?

fwhisµering) Go on, Ethan. Go!

Right.

fYellow Ranger) Hold it right there.

Check out your loser friend now.
l am so gonna kick his butt after school.

l'm gonna get a look.

Stay back.

- Whoa!
- This guy bugs me.

Come on. We need a closeup.

fCassid_) Oh, cool! A girlie Ranger.

Not now! Duck!

OK, if you could just be still
for one second,

because l'm, like, trying
to conduct an interview here.

Whatever.

Huh?

Can you tell us exactly
what's happening here?

Maybe later.

Devin! Get up.

Lasers!

l've got one too!

- He always gets me with that one.
- How about this one?

Kira!

- l'm OK.
- Nice shot.

l want you to get a message
to the Black Ranger.

You ever hear of e-mail?

Tell him to surrender to me
at the old warehouse before sunset,

or l will turn Termitetron lose on the city.

(Blue Ranger) G_eat.

Sorry we're late.
Did we miss anything?

Well, nothing you can't make up
in detention.

After school. Today.

Why does this feel really familiar?

My bad.

Derrick. l believe there are rules
in the student handbook

about treating your fellow students
with courtesy and respect.

Why don't you join us in detention
today... to review them?

Now, let's open our textbooks
to chapter eight.

(mouthing) A_er schooI.

(bell rings)

You're gotta tell Dr. O
about Zeltrax, right?

- Yeah, OK. But what about you, Ethan?
- What about me?

- The fight.
- The whole school knows about it.

- But l thought you said...
- Now listen to me.

Oh, Ethan, hello.

OK, good luck for today
and if you happen to fall over,

fall towards the camera -
that would be really good for me.

Look, unlike some people,
we're your friends

and we're not gonna let you
do something stupid.

So Derrick is a bully
who can kick your butt. Who cares?

Wait. You're not gonna
use your dino power on him, right?

- No, l'm not gonna use my dino power.
- Dude, no offense, but without it...

There's other ways to deal with a bully.

You're going?
Isn't that walking right into his hands?

Maybe. But he's not gonna
stop pushing us around

until someone stands up to him.

Let's go see what Zeltrax is up to.
Come on.

l will destroy Oliver!
Then l will have Elsa all to myself!

- Do l smell a love triangle?
- Huh?

Quiet! All that concerns you
is the destruction of Dr. Oliver.

Hey, l was iust asking.

You stick with the plan,
and Oliver is history.

And when you do succeed,
l will expect you

to contribute to the overthrow
of Mesogog... as we agreed.

As we agreed.

Where is that hunk ofiunk?

Stay focused.
l've got a bad feeling about this.

You really are suckers for punishment.
(taughs)

You may leave.

- fKira) That was fun.
- (beeµing)

- We may have to reschedule.
- l knew you'd try and get out of it.

Believe me, l want this over
with as much as you,

- but something just came up.
- He's not lying. It's important.

As soon as l'm done, l'll be back.
l'll meet you on the soccer field.

One hour.
And if you don't come back,

l'm coming looking for you,
and you won't like it when l find you.

Guys!

l thought you were supposed
to meet Zeltrax.

l guess he was afraid
to face me in person.

He'll be here.
l'm just the welcoming party.

l guess we better change
into our costumes, then.

- Ready!
- Ready!

DinoThunder, power up! Ha!

Yah!

Dino Power! Hee-yah!

Yah!

You posers are no match for me!
Bug Bombs!

Hey, those are my babies!

- Feel this baby.
- Aah!

Tyranno Staff!

Let's put 'em together!

- fal!) Z-Rex Blaster!
- No!

- Time to bug out!
- Fire!

( r. Oliver) Good wor_.

Your plan has failed.

lt ain't over till the fat monster sings.
Now make him grow.

Keep the other Rangers busy,
and Oliver's yours.

This better work.

l'm a big, bad bug!

(taughs)

( r. Oliver) Vou guys ready?

- Rangers.
- Better late than never.

l'd say my timing is perfect.

Give up and l call him off.
Or take your chances with me.

- You know what l choose, guys?
- Right!

Brachio!

Nice hardware. l think l'll eat it!

- We could use some bug spray.
- This annoying pest needs a good swat.

My turn!

Brachio Staff!

l'm getting pretty sick of
meeting like this.

l wish you'd just tell me
what it is you have against me.

Does the name Terrence Smith
mean anything to you?

Smitty?

Smitty?
But you were lost... in that accident.

l was on the verge of a breakthrough...

when it all went wrong.

Mesogog found me
and µut me back together again.

He's a genius
with cybernetic reconstruction.

Oh, man, Smitty.

Ha!

Genius or not, he's the enemy!
You shouldn't be fighting for him!

He gave me life.
Life you stole from me.

And now you will repay him
with your own!

Don't do this, Smitty!
Revenge is never the answer!

lt is all that has kept me going!

- Revenge is mine.
- My advise is find another hobby.

- Give it up, Zeltrax.
- Never.

l hate to do this, Smitty.
Dino Energy Orb!

Fire!

Aah!

Had enough?

l'll be back - l'll promise you that.

Smitty. Man...

Let's dynamite this termite!

Dino Drill!

So we didn't win. That doesn't mean
we still can't be friends.

That's precisely what it means.

Fine. Don't say l didn't warn you.

(groans)

lt's never easy for a father
to punish his son.

- You know?
- As do you.

So, now we're all in on it.

The only question remaining is:

Whose side are you on?

Yes, Trent. Zeltrax told me
of your agreement from the start.

Loyalty is a most valued asset
in this regime,

an asset that you have yet
to demonstrate.

You can't take the word of a stranger
over the word of your son.

l'm with you Dad, all the way.

You had better be.

Family or not, no one gets in my way.

Are you sure you wanna do this?
l mean, the guy's a jerk.

Would you just trust me?
For once?

Out of my way, McKnight.
This is bemeen me and the geek here.

OK, here's the deal. l could fight you,
but what would that prove?

lnstead, l'd like to make you
a proposition.

- You're bailing?
- l think l can improve your game.

lf l do, you promise to back off me
and my friends.

fEthan) My LT, please.

This is a computer image of you kicking.

l superimposed it against an image
of a pro player from Manchester.

- How'd you do that?
- l'm a computer geek, remember?

- Oh, yeah.
- Look. See where you're blowing it?

lt's just that one little hitch in your kick.

(sµits)

(crowd gasµs and cheers)

- l can't believe it worked.
- l told ya.

- Where'd you learn to do that?
- The Net.

- Well, the Internet, that is.
- That's pretty cool.

And l'm sorry about before.

l just thought a guy like you,
you know, so smart and all,

wouldn't want to talk to a guy like me.
Guess l was wrong.

lt's a brave new world out there,
my friend.

- fConner) Oh, yeah.
- (Kira) Let!s go.

fEthan) Yeah, all right.

(Kira chuckles)
