Ben: I think that's another win for Ben.

Gwen: No, it isn't.

Fine. Best bird call contest.

Go. [ Both imitating birds ]

Guys!

Ben again.

Nope. Ooh, I got it.

Loudest spoons competition.

Go!

Okay, the judge rules you both winners.

Game over.

Sorry, Grandpa.

Just trying to pass the time,

and keep my winning streak going.

Your winning streak of losing.

We still got a long way to go to Pismo Beach,

so please try to keep your competitions quiet.

It's been a long stretch of road, kids.

Nerve-wracking, even.

Ah, Pismo Beach.

I can almost hear the waves now.

So relaxing. [ Clanking ]

[ Hissing ]

Of course. [ Chuckles ]

No peace for the exhausted.

Looks like the radiator's leaking.

I'll call for a tow.

Well, they'll be right here...

in hours.

You lost so hard, the Rustbucket broke.

Did not. Did too.

Whoa.

At least we broke down somewhere conveniently cool.

I didn't know they had castles in California.

It's not a castle. It's the Docile Dragon Domicile.

I've heard of this place.

It's a famous island commune. What's a commune?

It's a place where spiritual people live together.

They've all taken a vow of complete silence.

Oh, man, that sounds nice right about now.

[ Stomach growls ] Let's hope the commune hasn't taken a vow forbidding food.

Only one way to find out. [ Laughs ]

[ Squeaking ]

[ Chuckles ]

Huh?

Ooh, sorry, but we --

Shh!

Rude.

Vow of silence, remember?

Let me try something. I believe I speak her language.

[ Clears throat ]

Uh, so, uh, dudette, you got the on some grub?

Peace. [ Chuckles ]

Grandpa, they're not hippies.

They're deeply spiritual.

Madame, we recognize your light.

We are but weary travelers in need of assistance.

May we perhaps --

Now, hold on there.

No need to bring oil into this.

I think they're letting us in.

A thousand blessing upon you, my sister.

Eternal greetings to you, and stuff.

Mine was better.

Uh, Sky?

Star? Uh, Shine?

Her name is Starshine.

Wait.

I think she's telling us the rules of the commune.

Rule -- take a vow of silence.

No problemo. Consider this yap trap shut.

You won't hear a -- Shh!

I mean, that wasn't exactly silent, lady.

Gwen: Rule -- No walking to -- going --

no going into the sacred temple.

Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever.

No temple, no talkie, got it.

Silent Ben mode activate.

[ Scoffs ] I'm gonna be way more quiet than you.

Watch.

I'm gonna win without even trying.

Well, I'm gonna win trying really, <span tts:fontStyle="italic">really </span>hard.

Shh!

The "Who can be quiet the longest?" game.

[ Chuckles ] Now, why didn't I think of that?

[ Stomach growls ]

[ Muffled laugh ]

[ Inhales, exhales ]

Shh.

She'll break.

I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

Shh! Sorry.

Shhhh!

Okay, starting over.

Operation Be Way More Silent Than Gwen starts now.

[ Muffled squealing ]

[ Ding! ]

[ Splash! ]

Shh.

[ Squeals ]

Ohh!

Stupid cooking.

No, no, she's gonna break. I just need to think of a --

All: Shh! D'oh.

I'm too awesome to be quiet this long.

Oh, oh, I got it.

I just got to go let loose

and get all those extra noises out,

and <span tts:fontStyle="italic">then </span>super silent.

Hmm. But where?

Hey, that should work.

Wait, didn't someone say something about this place?

Yeah, yeah, sure, whatever.

Hmm. Nope.

Don't remember anybody saying anything.

[ Humming ]

Time to get all those noises out!

Whoa, shiny, glowy things.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Blah, blah, blah, blam, blam!

Wah-wah-wah! Whoa, whoa!

Do-do-do-do-do

Whoa! Secret crystals.

Huh. I wonder why they don't want anyone to come down here.

It's like a crazy hall of mirrors.

Rock and roll! [ Crystals ringing ]

[ Vocalizing ]

I rock.

[ Crystals echoing ]

[ Growls ]

Whoa! [ Roars ]

Whoopsies. Oh, darn!

Too loud?

[ Roars ]

Aah!

Guys!

I know. I lost the quiet competition.

You lost like five times already.

I stopped competing a while ago.

I'm just enjoying the peacefulness.

Well, it's about to get a lot less peaceful.

[ Dragon growls ] Shh!

Oh, my gosh! Aaaah!

Somebody's awoken the dormant dragon!

Oh, possibly my fault.

That's why we have a vow of silence -- to keep him asleep.

Don't you think that was a little irresponsible not to tell us that?

Vow of silence, remember?

Not allowed to talk!

[ Sniffing ]

[ Screaming ]

Let me guess. The watch is on cooldown?

What was that? Shh!

Well, I've lost my appetite.

Aah! It's going to eat us!

So much for the vow of silence.

[ Screaming ]

The only thing keeping him tame

was our silence and the crystals in that temple.

Crystally things will chill it out?

I've got something for that.

Wait! Is he always this impulsive?

Only every day.

Hey, Dragonbreath!

Let's dance.

Diamonds, a dragon's worst friend.

You give up?

Ohh!

Trust me. I got this.

Oh, yeah, he breathes fire.

Now, that's what I'm talking about.

Bring it on, big boy!

Ohh!

Okay, maybe, just maybe, like, a little bit,

possibly I just slightly need a little help.

Are you reading?

Tomo-sally-koro-tila,

tomo-sally-koro-tila.

I'm not really into, like, accessories.

Your aura is that of a green calcite.

If I conduct the right energy through you,

we can soothe the dragon's aura.

[ Roars ] Yeah, sure. Soothe him.

He's definitely in need of soothing.

You must relax. Let the crystals do the work.

Sit and try to breathe slowly.

I'll try. I mean, I sit every day.

Tomo-sally-koro-tila. Tomo-sally-koro-tila.

It's not going to work.

[ Grunting ]

Ben, you've got to trust us. This will work.

Be centered and calm. Be at peace.

[ Twinkling ]

Shush!

Yeah! Who's the best?

It's me. I'm the best! [ Laughs ]

Both: Shh!

Okay, let's get this big guy back to his pad.

[ Dragon snoring ]

Ah. Nice and quiet.

Well? It's sleepytime for the dopey dragon.

He'll never both you again.

That means no need to be silent anymore?

[ Cheering ]

All: Oh!

[ Cheering ]

You did some nice work today, kids.

Yes, thank you so much.

That's not your groovy outfit. What's happening here?

Keeping the dragon asleep was the commune's responsibility.

Now that it's forever calmed,

we can all go and pursue our real dreams. Which are?

Call me Esther van Stevens III, Esquire,

going back to my law practice.

Pleasure. But take these for the road.

[ Sighs ] Only seven more hours until the tow truck gets here.

Maybe I could be of some help.

I've been taking some online classes.

Give it a shot!

[ Engine starts ]

Really appreciate all your help.

You're awesome, Starshine.

Both: Bye!

So, did you kids learn anything about relaxing?

Sure did. A lot more than Miss Tense here.

Bet I learned more.

Bet not, double or nothing.

Bet yeah, double or nothing.

It's going to be a loooong trip.

[ Dramatic music plays ]

On today's "Dancing With Diamondhead," I'm gonna show you how to dust it off.

[ Upbeat dance music plays ] Feeling the beat. Aww, yeah.

And here we go.

Dust it off.

Dust it off. Dust it off.

It's all in the wrist.

Yeah. I'm k*lling it!

♪♪

[ Giggles ]

Dust i-- [ Glass shatters ]

Uh-oh. Gwen: Ben!

Grandpa will never find out.

This concludes "Dancing With Diamondhead."

[ Chuckles ] Thanks for watching.

Time to throw stuff.
