Original subtitles

AKU: Long ago in a distant land,

I, Aku, the shape-shifting master of darkness,

unleashed an unspeakable evil.

But a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword

stepped forth to oppose me.

(SWORDS CLASHING)

Before the final blow was struck,

I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future,

where my evil is law.

Now the fool seeks to return to the past

and undo the future that is Aku.

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

(IN SCOTTISH ACCENT) By the look on your face,

I can tell you like the pipes, wee laddie.

(CONTINUES PLAYING)

Please. I don't mean to interrupt,

but am I close to the end of this bridge?

No, far from it.

I've been traipsing across this bridge for days now.

Mmm.

Seems I have a long way to go still.

I should be on my way.

Um, excuse me.

What do you expect me to do?

Just stand aside.

And risk falling over the side for a perfect stranger?

Away and bow your head.

You stand aside!

My destination lies at the opposite end of the bridge.

And you'll get there after you back up,

and I reach that end of the bridge first.

That would waste too much time, and time is what I don't have.

So you think you're better than me 'cause you're in a hurry.

Well, I'm in a hurry, too.

But, no, you didn't figure that, did you?

That I might be an equal?

No!

You just consider yourself superior right off.

You're rude.

You mistake my comment, sir.

Do I? You think I'm dumb, too?

No, I...

Look, we are both in a hurry,

so I shall hang from these planks, and you may walk right over.

So you get a peek up me kilt?

That is not what I am suggesting.

So you say, you plucky face hinoot.

What did you call me?

So you're deaf, too, you clog-tailed cutty drake.

I'll tell you what we're going to do.

We'll fight for it to the finish.

I do not think there is any need to--

Listen, you boony, blithering numbthet,

the only way for you to get across this bridge

is to beat me in combat.

Now, are you a man or a worthless bloke like I know you are?

I'm calling you a coward!

I fear no man.

Ooh! That's some tough talk

coming from a man who wears a basket on his head.

I carry me haggis in a basket.

You might even make me shiver if you weren't dressed in a nightgown.

You look like my nanny.

You call that thing dangling off your hip a sword?

Looks like a butter knife.

You won't hurt anyone wielding a piece of tin foil around.

You'd be better off using your slippers for a weapon.

This is a sword.

And it's bigger than yours.

What do you think of that, Mr. Pajama-wearing,

basket-face, slipper-wielding...

(BABBLING) (INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

...gather up and play more blithering domino,

Jessie off-looking stoner...

(BABBLING)

...milk-drinking, sorry-faced...

(BABBLING)

...sniveling worm...

(BABBLING)

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHS)

Aw. You're gonna weep now?

(LAUGHING) Shall I pause while you mourn your hat?

I can play a melancholy tune to go with your weeping.

(HISSING)

You've done it now.

I'm going to turn your head into a flour sifter.

(GROWLING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Aye, you got a lot of pep for a wee laddie.

(LAUGHING)

(SCREAMING)

The tremendous horse-out technique should have destroyed your sword.

Magic runes, laddie.

All them fancy moves will get you nowhere.

Now quit your jumping around and get to fighting!

(DRAMATIC MUSIC RESUMES)

(SWORDS CLASHING)

(PANTING)

(LAUGHS WEAKLY)

Prepare to meet your doom.

(GRUNTING)

I'll give you one more chance to give up.

I am not defeated, and I shall hold my ground.

Ooh. Hold your ground.

You can barely hold your sword.

Then come get me.

Wha... eh...

Ay... ah...

(GROWLS)

Seeing that I'm a sportsman, I'll give you a moment to recuperate.

(EXPLOSION)

(ENGINE ROARING)

Yee-haw!

(PEPPY MUSIC PLAYING)

BOTH: They're after me! After you?

They're after me.

Aku has got a price on me head.

Aku has a price on my head.

(WHOOSHING)

(PEPPY MUSIC CONTINUES)

We're in no condition to fight these odds.

Especially not with a pajama-wearing daisy strapped to me wrist.

We must escape.

Over the side!

(ENGINE ROARING)

Leave it to a leathery basket hat to jump left instead of right.

I'm having second thoughts now anyway.

We have no idea how far down--

BOTH: Whoa!

(BOTH GASPING)

Great job, laddie.

Do you have any idea where we are?

No.

So what now, smarty pants?

For the moment, we are safe from those bounty hunters.

We must find shelter before they find us.

We are defenseless in this lagoon.

(LAUGHING)

Shut it!

There.

We'll be safer on land.

(ENGINE ROARING)

(GUNSHOT)

(YELLING GIBBERISH)

(CHOPPING)

What I didn't understand is why Aku is after you.

I have a huge price on me head.

Oh, yeah. Huge.

I'm the most wanted man on this planet.

Bounty hunters of all types are after me skin. (LAUGHING)

My face is plastered on wanted posters

in every town on seven countries.

Oh, yeah. I'm infamous.

No. I don't believe it.

(SNARLING)

(THUDS)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

(VEHICLES APPROACHING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(MAN YELLING INCOHERENTLY)

SCOTSMAN: I think they're gone.

JACK: Are you sure?

Aye, it's quiet.

(YELLING INCOHERENTLY)

Bang-bang, bangity-bang, bang-bang.

Jump now!

(YELLING)

This might not work.

Of course it works. We're a lethal pair.

Behind you!

The arrow relies on the bow.

The bow relies on the arrow, but they are not tied together.

That would be pointless now, wouldn't it?

Exactly. Together we are formidable,

but shackled, our power is pointless.

We must be free.

Aye, free, and we'll take them together.

(LAUGHING)

(BABBLING INCOHERENTLY)

(LAUGHING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHING)

Is that the best you can do?

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

(BOTH PANTING)

I'd say we've wiped out our bounty hunter problem.

For now.

Aye, for now.

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING)

I was wrong about you.

(LAUGHS)

I acted foolishly as well.

No hard feelings, aye?

I'll buy you a refreshment.

Please. Allow me.

I shall buy you a refreshment.

No, no. I'll buy you one.

I insist.

JACK: No, I must buy you one to make amends.

SCOTSMAN: It's all right. I'll buy.

JACK: No, I will buy.

- SCOTSMAN: I'll buy. - JACK: No, I will buy.

SCOTSMAN: I'll buy! I will!

- JACK: No, I will. - SCOTSMAN: No, me!
