So far this year, mr. Mcduck,

You've made $5 trillion


And 43 cents.

Go on.

That beats last year.

But I'm not way,
way ahead.

That's because of your
overseas competition.

Curse those pirates
with cheap labor!

Their pay's
the same as yours.

Right! Cheap labor!

Well, I'll lick them.

You've got to
get up early

To outdo scrooge mcduck.

Uncle scrooge,
isn't today the day

You inspect your
skateboard factory?

Aye, lads. I love
to drop in unannounced

And watch everybody running
around like headless chickens.

Let's go!

When mr. Mcduck bursts
in and yells surprise,

I want everyone running around
like headless chickens.

Just like last year?

And every year.

He should be here...

Surprise! - Surprise!
- Surprise!

Surprise!

Oh, dear!
- Oh!

Oh, dear!
- Oh, dear!

Oh!

Heavens,
I never dreamed...

Always be ready
for surprises

When working
for scrooge mcduck.

Yes, sir!

Got the new
skateboard ready?

We'd love to see it.

That's a surprise
I'm ready for.

Bring this year's model!

Oh!
- Oh! - Oh!

The sidewalk
city slicker,

With power steering,
radar control,

Brakes automatically
for ice cream trucks.

That's super!
- Oh! - Wow!

That'll put the competition
out of business.

Can we try it?

You can
take it home.

Yay!
- Yippie!

I think not.

You have enough toys.

Aw.
- Aw. - Aw.

Come. I want
to continue

Inspecting the factory.

Here. This'll be
our little secret.

Thanks a million!

Yahoo!

Ride 'em, skateboard!

Heh heh heh
heh heh!

Why are you chuckling?

Beaver told me you think
you surprise them,

But you don't.

You saw they
were surprised.

They were pretending.

Look what happened
to the cash castle!

That's the way
economy crumbles.

Yes, miss featherby?
Mr. Trumpcard

With the overseas competition
skateboard company?

Put him through.

If this is
what I think,

We'll see if beaver can
handle real surprises.

Trumpcard, I've thought
about your offer.

I've decided to say yes.

I'll sell mcduck
skateboard factory to you.

I'll fly into duckburg
to settle this deal soon.

You're selling
your company?

I can make more
money by selling

Than staying
in business.

I'm taking profits now
instead of later.

What'll happen
to eager beaver

And the other workers?

Business
is business.

What in tarnation!

Aah!

That reckless,

No-good...

Miserable...

Stupid...

Skateboard!

Ow!

I'll sue for
a jillion dollars!

I'll put people in jail
for a million years

As sure as my name is...

My name is...

What is my name?

Who am i?

Why am I talking
with this funny accent?

Who am i?

Where am i?

Hey, pop.

Pop?

Excuse me, sir.
Could you...

Here, bum. I can
spare a quarter.

Money. Hmm. Something
very familiar about it.

Hmm. Mcduck burgers.

Three scroogeburgers,
please.

That'll be $15.

Outrageous! I want
to buy hamburgers,

Not put mcduck's kids
through college.

Do you have the money?

No, just an appetite.

That's not the only
place in town for eats.

Scrooge mcduck's cafeteria?

That's the last straw.

I'll give that scrooge
a piece of my mind!

I'm sorry. Mr. Mcduck
isn't here now.

Any message?

Tell him I'd like to
punch his nose!

Another chipper call
for mr. Mcduck.

Where could he be?

He's never missed
his daily dip

In the money bin
before.

I haven't seen him
since this morning.

Let's go search
for him.

Boys, search
high and low.

Mrs. Beakly, search
far and wide.

I'll search
here and there.

Right!

Oh!

Uncle scrooge!

Uncle scrooge!

Uncle scrooge!

Come out, come out,
wherever you are!

Yoo-hoo! Mr. Mcduck,
are you in there?

Perhaps the next story.

Yoo-hoo! Mr. Mcduck!

Oh, mr. Mcduck!

[Crash]

Did you find
mr. Mcduck?

Just a nail
in the road.

We searched
everywhere.

Where could
mr. Mcduck be?

Can I help you?

Don't these cartons have
missing persons' pictures?

So what?

I'm looking
for my picture.

You're not missing.

But who am i?

Who are you?
A wise guy!

Ooh!

Maybe an empty milk
carton has my picture.

Mmm. What's
that wonderful smell?

Eek! What are you
doing there?

Get away from that window,
you... You vagabond!

Forgive me, ma'am,

But your dinner
smelled so delicious.

Is there enough
for two?

Well, yes, but why
should I invite you in?

Are you trustworthy?

Yes.

Single?

I think so.

How's your pulse?

Steady.

Park it inside
on the sofa, honey.

Mmm. This tv dinner
is scrumptious, ma'am.

Please. Call me
mrs. Crackshell.

What's your name?

Honestly,
I don't know.

Your own name?

I have forgotten it.

How exciting!

You've got amnesia.

Are you sure?

After 25 years
of watching soap operas,

I'm sure I know amnesia.

I remember something
about a skateboard.

Skateboard, huh?
Maybe you worked

At the scrooge mcduck
skateboard factory.

It's right down
the street.

I'll call my son
and find out.

Huh, it's busy.

I wonder who
he's talking to?

But, mr. Trumpcard...
No, you can't!

You see,
it's like this...

Of course.
No problem.

See you soon.

Mr. Trumpcard's flying
here in two days.

If we don't find
mr. Mcduck,

His big deal
will fall through!

What should we do?

We must notify
the police.

If people learn mcduck's
missing, stocks will fall.

Rumors
will run rampant.

Confidence
will be low.

We've got to stall.

I know! Dress up
and pretend

You're uncle scrooge!

Ridiculous!

Don't you want to save
the skateboard factory?

Of course!

Mr. Beaver, tell me.
Do I work here?

You look familiar.

You don't remember?

Only something
about skateboards.

You're probably overworked,
but back on the line.

Right away, sir.

How much money
do I make?

I remember something
about liking money.

Are you in
the wrong place!

Minimum wage
plus benefits.

Benefits?
Like bonuses,

Paid vacations,
and health plans?

No. The honor of working
for scrooge mcduck.

[Bell rings]

Stop! Stop!
Slow down, pop.

Why, what's happening?

Didn't you hear the bell?
Lunch break.

Mrs. Crackshell packed
me dinner leftovers.

[Bell rings]

What's that?

Lunch time's over.

Back to work.

I haven't eaten!

Tell the boss,
scrooge mcduck.

There's that name again.

He's... He...
He's a sl*ve driver.

Take it easy, pop.
Take it easy.

Take it easy, pop.
Take it easy.

At this rate,

I'll be shaking years
after retirement.

Relax. Rest a spell.

I'll throw a meatloaf
in the microwave.

I'll take you out
for your kindness.

Really?

I'll put on my sunday
courting hairnet

And be right out,
big boy.

It's nice of you to spend
your hard-earned money

On this
extravagant pizza.

You sure can show an
old girl a good time.

It's a nice joint,

Even if that tycoon
mcduck owns it.

Go, team!
- Hit him again! Harder!

That wide-screen tv makes
this place so romantic.

But I'm tired
of that game.

Flip the channel to the
young and the featherless.


That was for me?

You're interested,
too?

I'm dying
to find out

If gingersnaps recovered
from her tax audit,

Divorce, and
gizzard transplant.

Are you about
ready, fenton?

Do mr. Mcduck's
old clothes fit?

Do I look like
mcduck or what?

I look more like
mr. Mcduck.

Now, there.
That helps.

You have to
sound like him.

Right. He has
that funny accent.

Uh, how's this?

In order to keep zee
tax collector away,

oui, mes petits
ducklings?

Um,
wrong accent.

Well, how's this?

Now, to make like de
interest rates und rise!

You got the
stupid sayings right,

But your accent
has a funny accent.

It's no use.

I cannot do it!

There's only one
scrooge mcduck.

Uh, what was that?

Mcduck is unique.

I have a wee chance of
filling those spats.

Wow! Try this...

The heather
near the loch

Goes halfway
round the block.

The heather
near the loch

Goes halfway
round the block.

He's got it!

By jove, I think
he's got it!

I've an urge
to dance all night.

You love the rain.

I'm even feeling
like mr. Mcduck.

So what are
your plans?

Take care of business,

Fill the coffers
of me money bin.

What'll you do
about our allowances?

Like your uncle,
I'll cut them.

What?

And mrs. Beakly's
salary.

What?

Lights off after
leaving the room.

Save me swimming money.

Jeepers! Fenton's
more of a scrooge

Than uncle scrooge
is a scrooge.

A bonnie day,
trumpcard.

No small talk.

Let's get down
to business.

Is everything ok,
mcduck?

You look different.

Feeling poorly,
perhaps?

I'm not myself lately,

But I'm up to selling
me skateboard factory.

Hello. Henrietta?

I've got
an earful for you!

Mr. Mcduck is selling!

[Angry voices]

What's going on?

I heard it from
a reliable source.

Mcduck's selling
our factory

To the overseas
competition company.

They'll close us.

Mcduck gets a profit,
and we get canned?

Precisely.

No!

What about us?

What'll we do?

I'll tell you what.

We'll fix
old mcduck's wagon.

Doing what?

How?

We'll strike!
We'll refuse to work

Until mcduck promises
this factory keeps going!

The competition
won't pay to close us

If we've already
closed ourselves.

Yeah! Let's strike!
Strike! Strike!

Strike!
- Strike! - Strike!

Strike!
- Strike! - Strike!

What's this?
Back to work!

Strike!
- Strike! - Strike!

Strike!
- Strike! - Strike!

Sign the contract
on the dotted line,

And the skateboard
company's yours.

When it comes to
negotiating deals,

You're the toughest
I've met.

Sign now!
Compliments later!

Um, excuse me,
mr. Mcduck.

I told you I didn't
want to be disturbed.

Yes, but there was an
emergency phone call

From mr. Beaver.

The workers at the skateboard
factory are... On...

Speak up. Don't
keep me guessing.

S-t-r-i-k-e.

Strick? Streak? What?
I'm a lousy speller!

She said strike.

Strike? Really? What are
they doing there, bowling?

Think again.

Keep signing!

I'll be back pronto!

Get back to work!

Work or no pay!

Cancel that deal
selling out our jobs.

Down with
scrooge mcduck!

Strike!
- Strike! - Strike!

Strike!
- Strike! - Strike!

Police, arrest
that troublemaker!

Keep
the strike going!

Mcduck,
you're a bully!

You're a tyrant!

Strike!

Strike!

Catch that troublemaker!

Grab him!
Arrest that outlaw!

You'll never stop me!

Yeah? I'll have you
thrown in jail,

Sure as my name's
fen... Uh, scrooge mcduck!

Duckburg's most
disgraceful name,

You money-grabbing
monster!

Why, you dirty,
rotten...

Hey, cut it out!
Aah!

Yiii!

Strike!

Grab him! Arrest him!

Uh, I mean mcgrab him!

Arrest the loony laddie!

Down with the boss!
Strike! Whee!

Ooh.

Speak, pop.
Are you all right?

Why shouldn't I be?

Why's everybody
standing around?

It's no holiday!
Back to work!

And who's pop?

Glad you're better.

The paddy wagon's
waiting.

Paddy wagon?
For what?

Because you're under
arrest, that's why.

Under arrest? Me?
For what?

Inciting a riot,
resisting officers,

Knocking down our leading
citizen scrooge mcduck.

Unhand me,
you ruffians!

I happen to be
scrooge mcduck!

He's loony!

I own this factory!

I'm scrooge mcduck,

As any fool
can plainly see.

Give me my spectacles!

And my hat!

You're daft!

And my accent,
you imposter!

Imposter, is it?

If you're scrooge mcduck,
then prove it.

What's scrooge's
hat size?

Whichever hat's
on sale.

Your turn. How old's
mrs. Beakly?

We have a standoff
here.

We're going to court.

Officers,
take him away.

I've waited for hours.

Come home right now!

Yes, mama!

Fenton, why are you
dressed like mcduck?

I, uh...

Impersonating me,
that's what.

Oh! It is!
- It's him!

Oh!
- Oh! - It's him!

I can't believe it!

Neither can i.

My date was the richest
duck on earth.

All I got was pizza.

Fenton, I'd like
a word with you.

I got carried away!

Now you'll fire me.

I would.

In scotland, there's
an old saying.

If only we could
see ourselves

As others see us.

Thank you
for doing that.

I've been
a greedy cuss.

Fellow workers.

I'll not sell
this factory.

Yay!
- Yay! - Yay!

If anybody's going
out of business,

It's the competition,

Because we'll sell the
world's best skateboards!

Yay!
- Yay! - Yay!

And lunch hour is now
a full half hour.

Yay!
- Yay! - Yay! - Yay!

What?
- What? - Huh?

And I'm raising salaries
$1 a month.

I mean a week.

Uh... A day?

An hour?

Yay!
- Yay! - Yay!

Yay!
- Hooray! - Hooray!

Ooh, generosity
is so painful.

I suppose this means

You're not coming
back to the trailer.

Are you joking?

With gingersnaps about
to recover from amnesia?

I would not miss it!

Let's go!
