Post by bunniefuu »

[FIRE CRACKLING]

[RUMBLING]

Hear that, Crownan?

CROWNAN:
Just the silence of space, captain.

No, no. Listen.

There it is. Look!

BRAGG: What is it? It looks red-hot.
CROWNAN: A hot rock?

[OBJECT CRASHES
AND BRAGG YELLS]

[CROWNAN CAWS]
Who did that?

Too bad it didn't squash you,
feather face.

Feather face, am 1?

Well, let me ask you
who's behind bars, Luna? You or me?

BRAGG:
Crownan, enough.

Come take a look.

Blasted thing won't open.

[OBJECT CLANGS
AND CROWNAN CAWS]

I think I bent my beak.

Wha--?

Give way, lubbers.

Captain cr*cker, scourge
of the seven space seas, is here!

Strip the blubber off the lubbers.
[SQUAWKS]

I say, sir,
what is the meaning of this?

Hear that, Polly?
[SQUEAKS]

They wants to know
the meaning of this. [SQUEAKS]

[SQUAWKS] We're going to strip
your giblets from ear to rear...

...and quarter your quarters
from here to there.

[SQUAWKS]

-But why?
-Because we're mean.

[BOTH LAUGH
AND cr*cker SQUEAKS]

VOICE ON RADIO:
Hear this! Hear this!

Merchant shipping and space stations
in Galaxy Sector 5, alert! Alert!

Rogue robot model
six-niner, Captain cr*cker...

...infamous pirate and thief,
escaped today...

...from a prison ship transporting him
to the end of the galaxy.

cr*cker? That old space pirate?

Lock your doors
and hide your valuables.

[MEOWS]

He can't get up to much trouble
in Sector 5.

-There's nothing there.
-Except Wayoutback Island.

Meow! That's where Captain Bragg
has those wretched Lunataks in exile.

Exactly.

And isn't Snarfer near Sector 5?

He is. He's making one
of his pizza runs to Third Earth.

SNARFER:
Hot rocket baby, you're so cool

You're burning this foal

Hot racket baby
Have mercy on this pup

Before you burn him up

Ah, ha

Oh, meow!

That means if cr*cker tries
to free the Lunataks...

...Snarfer's gonna be right
in the middle of it.

LION-O:
We'd better warn him.

Snarfer! Snarfer! Lair calling Snarfer.

LION-O: Do you copy?
-l copy. Yes, sir. Yup, what's up?

cr*cker's in your area.

You may be in danger.

Gee, Lion-0.

Heck. I mean,
what do you think I should do?

LION-O: Get on the horn
to Mandora, the evil chaser.

Ask her to escort you in. Got that?

Yeah, gee. Yup, I got.
[expl*si*n AND SNARFER YELLS]

Heck.
Now how am I gonna find Mandora?

There's only one way.

Here goes.

If Mandora is anywhere within
a thousand light years...

...she'll want to arrest
a speeding hot-rod rocket ship.

SNARFER: / only hope she finds me
before this old crate flies apart.

PANTHRO: It sounded
like Snarfer's got a radio malfunction.

I hope that's all it was, snarf, snarf.

Let's not worry until we have to.

Snarfer's proved
he can take care of himself.

If he doesn't come online
within the next hour...

...we'll go find him.

[BEEPING]

Evil Chaser Officer Mandora to base.

I have a speeding rocket
in Sector 5. Going in.

[SCREAMING]

Pull that heap of junk over
and land on Third Earth.

I might have known it was you,
you speed-crazy furball.

But, gee, Officer Mandora,
Captain cr*cker's escaped...

...and Lion-O told me to contact you.

My radio's out and speeding was the
only way I could get to you and then--

You're not gonna give me a ticket,
are you, snarfer, snarfer?

Twenty light years over the limit.

Broken tail light.
Out-of-date inspection.

But this was an emergency.

There's no emergency
which exceeds the law.

Now lets go find
that Captain cr*cker.

cr*cker:
Eh, right, me hearties.

I expects you wants to know
why old Captain cr*cker rescued you...

...from a fate worse than death.
[SQUEAKS]

You won't get away with this, cr*cker.
I'l--

cr*cker: You'll walk the plank
before I'm done with you...

...you lily-livered excuse
for a showman.

[CHUCKLES]
As I was saying...

...I have rescued you because I couldn't
bear to hear my bosom buddies...

...in badness were all locked up.
[SQUEAKS]

There are those who say
that old cr*cker is all heart.

POLLY:
They do. They do.

That he cannot stand
to see a single thing...

...human or mechanical, abused.

It's true. It's true.
[SQUAWKS]

Yes, and I admit it, I'm an old softy.

[SQUEAKS]

cr*cker:
But now that I've freed you, mateys....

Now that the Thundercats
have abandoned Third Earth...

...I'll get my revenge.

We'll take it over and turn it
into a Pirate's Paradise!

[CHEERING]

Now you're talking
meat and potatoes.

Hey, cr*cker, you're my kind of guy.

Let's do it. Let's do it.

[CHEERING]

POLLY:
Silence in court, silence in court.

Let the man speak.
Lend him your ears.

Right, me hearties.
[SQUEAKS]

Our first order of the day
is to turn this Circus Train...

...into a Pirate Train.

[SQUEAKING]

And the second order, my captain?

Why, my dear lady...
[SQUEAKS]

...we'll start
by plundering Third Earth.

Cats' Lair will make
the perfect base...

...and the Tower of Omens
a perfect outpost.

[CHEERING]

We have to do something, Crownan.

Well, I don't know about you,
but I'm going to whimper.

Yo, h*, h*, and away we go

To plunder and pillage
Our most dangerous foe

Yo, h*, h*, and away we go

It's a cinch, Crownan,
you can easily slip through the bars...

...and go warn the Thundercats.

Are you nuts? I can't get up
enough wing power to go orbital.

No, but this can.

-No way.
-It's our only chance.

You'll be a hero.

Oh, well, I guess a crows gotta do
what a crow's gotta do, huh?

Bon voyage!

[CROWNAN SCREAMS]

cr*cker:
Aye, aye, me hearties.

This is the life for me.

We'll take Third Earth by surprise.

[SQUEAKS]
We'll bully the Berbils.

[CHEERING]

Whack the Wollos.

Smash the Snowmen.

And thrash the Thundercats!

[SHOUTING]

POLLY: Keelhaul the lubbers.
Keelhaul the lubbers.

We're on a direct course
to Wayoutback.

If cr*cker's on the island....

[BEEPING]

Seems like you're not
the only speedster out today.

[SNARFER SCREAMING]

Oh, no. Flame out!

-You saved me.
-Wrong. I booked you.

What? But I'm on a mission of mercy
to tell you that Captain cr*cker...

...sprang the Lunataks
from Bragg's Circus Train.

They're raiding Third Earth.

cr*cker:
Look!

Here they are, the little lubbers.

Isn't it amazing how they work?
[SQUEAKS]

And soon, they'll be working
their little hearts out for us.

Take her down, Alluro,
and let's get to it.

ALLURO:
Anything you say, Luna.

LUNA: Avast there,
you lily-livered lubbers. Amok!

What?

Odds, bods and buckets of mud,
where are the furry swabs?

LUNA:
They've vanished.

There's one!

I order you to cease and desist.

You are all wanted and under arrest.

All right, you perpetrators.
Drop your weapons and line up.

Cuff them, Snarfer.

cr*cker:
I don't think so, saucy miss.

You lay down your weapons.

LUNA:
Grind her into the dust!

Give her the deep freeze!

Look, no more warnings, bozos.
Drop your weapons.

Have at them, scully!

Avast, scurvy! Vixen!

Freeze, cop!

[BREATH BLOWING]

CHILLA:
Help me, Alluro.

Not me, Chilla.
I bend minds, not machines.

What's the matter,
you chicken-hearted saps?

Surely you're not afraid of a toy.

LUNA:
Faster! Faster, you dumb cluck.

AMOK:
All right, all right, faster.

Faster, faster, faster.
Amok dizzy, Amok dizzy.

Amok dizzy, Amok very dizzy.

[SCREAMS]

Help me up, someone. Help me!

[g*n FIRES]

Cease fire, TugMug.

That carbine will never take it.

[SCREAMS]

Get me down, blast you, Red Eye.

Get me down. Oh, no!

Red Eye! Look out!

Not bad.

[SQUEAKS] Well, now, matey,
let's see who takes who. [SQUEAKS]

[CAWS] Hey, cr*cker,
I'm on your side from here on in.

You traitor, Crownan, snarfer, snarfer.

Yup, traitor, that's what you are.

We should have heard
from Mandora by now.

It doesn't look good.

I think it's time we checked this out
for ourselves.

Snarf, you stay here
and man the controls.

Meow. All right, Lion-O,
but be careful.

Right, me hearties.
[SQUEAKS]

Gather round for a little trick riding.
[SQUEAKS]

See that granite cliff?

We're going to point
the Electra-Charger right at it.

[CAWS]
I say, captain, fun is fun, but--

Shut your beak, shut your beak.
You're a pirate now. [SQUAWKS]

You won't get away with this,
cr*cker.

And who's to stop me?
[SQUEAKS]

cr*cker:
Cast off!

[SQUEAKS]

Hey, where do you think you're going,
you inkpot pigeon?

Just to get a closer look, captain.
That's all.

After him, Polly.
[SQUEAKS]

I never did trust a landlubber.
[SQUEAKS]

Yeow.

Well, take that, you clockwork klutz.

[CRIES]

What do I do now?

Hit the takeoff button quick.

Take off, take off.

[SQUAWKS]

Is it that big red one
with the silver ring and a black dot?

No! No!

Press the little green button
with the gold ring and clear top.

CROWNAN:
Green button, gold ring, clear top.

MANDORA:
Press it!

Press it, Crownan.

[SCREAMS]

PANTHRO:
Something coming up fast.

It's headed straight for us.

Take evasive action, Cheetara.

That was the Electra-Charger.

With Mandora and Snarfer
riding it backwards.

And a crow at the controls.

Let's take a closer look.

They're tied on.

There's no way to get them
onboard but maybe....

I can't straighten her out, Mandora.
I haven't got the beak power.

Look, look!
It's the Feliner. We're saved!

How? There's no way the Fefiner
can pick us up at this speed.

PANTHRO:
This is taking a big chance, Lion-0.

LION-O: We don't have a choice.
Let's do it, now!

I don't believe it.

If he misses us,
he'll drop a zillion miles.

Thundercats from heaven.

Well? What did you see?

[PANTING]

There's only one Thundercat
in the Lair.

The female they call Pumyra.

Then, what are we waiting for?
[SQUEAKS]

Have at it, me swabbies.

Charge!

[SCREAMING]

What? cr*cker and the Lunataks!

How did they get here?

You almost had us both in the moat,
you clumsy oaf.

I'll never jump that gap.

[SCREAMS]

Piece of cake.

Look!

Sword of Omens,
give me sight beyond sight.

Lunataks!
And Pumyra's alone in the Lair.

We'll never get there in time
to help unless....

Thunder, thunder, thunder.
Thundercats, h*!

Pull together, mateys.

Surely you're not afraid
of a little Thundercat magic.

[SQUEAKS]

Avast!

LUNA:
I can't swim! I can't swim!

LUNA:
I can't swim! I can't swim! Help!

[SQUEAKING]

cr*cker:
Help me, shipmates! Help me!

I'll fill up with water and sink.

Me circuits will short!
[SQUEAKS]

Abandon ship. Abandon ship.
Abandon ship.

Oh, no, you don't, matey.

The parrot always goes down
with the ship. [SQUEAKS]

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

[BUBBLING]

Meow. Snarfer, are you sure you know
what you're doing?

Yup, yup. No problem, unc.
Everything's under control.

Just leave it to me.

SNARFER: Just a few seconds more
and I'll have it.

It looks like they'll be out
of commission for a while.

[cr*cker AND POLLY MOANING]

Mandora will escort you
to Wayoutback Island...

...where you can throw away the key
on these creatures for good.

BRAGG:
My pleasure, Lion-0.

We would welcome the company
of such a fine lady.

Not so fast, Bragg.

I have some unfinished business
to take care of.

Traveling with an expired circus permit.
Broken tail light on your cages.

Passing in a no-passing zone.

[LAUGHING]

I wouldn't laugh if I were you.

But, Mandora,
after everything we've been through?

When are you going to learn, Snarfer?

Nothing comes before the law.

[LAUGHING]
