[NARRATOR READS ON-SCREEN TEXT]

[♪]

Master?

Is it okay to speak?

I don’t wanna interrupt if you’re meditating.

You’re meditating. I’ll wait.

[INHALES AND EXHALES SHARPLY]

[CLATTERS]

[COUGHS]

[COUGHS]

[ANNOYED] What, Lloyd?

Me and the guys decided we’re going on a quest.

To get back in shape and hone our ninja skills.

Good.

Yeah, except, um...

The thing is...

We can’t think of a quest.

We were hoping you had a quest tip.

Quest tip?

Suggestion. Idea.

For a quest.

Have you become so lazy

you can’t even find something to do on your own?

Don’t come to me for a quest tip!

Go out and find a quest!

Adventure does not come to the idle,

it comes to those who seek it.

So seek.

Right!

O-okay.

We’ll seek.

[WALLS RUMBLE]

[SIGHS]

[♪]

[ALL GRUNTING]

How’d it go?

He’s in, uh, a mood.

Did he give you a quest tip?

No, he said we have to figure it out on our own.

I’ve been thinking about it for five minutes!

I’m tapped out!

Maybe we need a change of scenery.

Sometimes ideas come to you better

if you change your surroundings.

Nope. Still nothing. [WATER SLOSHING]

[SIGHS] We need a villain.

What about Ultra Violet?

Eh, she was nuts. I’d rather face Killow.

They’re both incarcerated in Kryptarium Prison.

What about Master Chen?

The Departed Realm.

COLE: Pythor? Whereabouts unknown.

Locating him would require some effort.

Effort? Ah... No.

[SLURPS]

Man, finding a good villain is hard.

Let’s face it. There aren’t any villains left.

Except, well, um--

Say it. My dad.

Wherever he is, he’s not really a problem right now.

Let’s move on.

Who does that leave?

Maybe we’re aiming too high.

Maybe we don’t need a villain.

Maybe we just need, like, a criminal.

Or a gangster.

Pfft. I’d settle for a bully.

Perhaps we should check with the Commissioner?

We might be able to assist him

in the prevention of some crime.

[ALL AGREEING INDISTINCTLY]

[♪]

[PEOPLE SCREAM]

Commissioner!

Wh-what! Wh-what is it now?

Robot pirates? Lava-zombies?

Huh? No, nothing like that.

We just wanna help you catch some bad guys.

Oh. Well...

Actually, it’s been pretty quiet around here.

We don’t have any outstanding warrants.

Aw, there’s gotta be something for us to do.

Mm, not really.

Take a look at the board.

[♪]

Aha! Who’s that?

Oh, that. Oh, that’s a joke. Someone drew a monster.

What about an escaped convict? Or a fugitive?

Nope. Nothing.

Um, a felon? No.

Hoodlum? No.

A crook? Nope.

Mobster? Nothing.

[NINJA GROAN]

Sir? Oh, what’s up, Jimmy?

Just got a tip about an illegal bootlegging operation

down at the wharfs.

We got it!

Yeah, you guys relax! We’ll handle this!

[♪]

Okay, on three.

I kick open the door,

we storm the place and take ’em down!

Freeze right there! Bah! Uh...

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Did you young fellers

wanna buy some prune juice?

[NINJA GROAN]

There’s gotta be something.

An outstanding warrant, unpaid parking tickets?

Anything?

What’s up, Jimmy?

Something about a disturbance at the Kryptarium Prison.

Yes! Jackpot!

[GROANS]

[♪]

[MUFFLED SHOUTING, THUDDING]

That sounds terrible!

We better get in there!

On three!

One, two, three!

[SHOUTING]

Shh! Oh, hi, guys.

I don’t understand. Shh! Oh, hi, guys.

I don’t understand.

Where’s the riot?

Riot? Oh, goodness, no.

Just a little dispute.

But we worked it out, didn’t we, fellas?

I overreacted, and I apologize.

And I’m sorry I expressed myself so poorly.

Where now?

Do you think the prison cafeteria has cake?

[NINJA GROAN]

Since we’re here anyway,

perhaps we should check in on Killow?

Yeah, maybe he’s up to something.

[♪]

Hello, Killow.

Oh, hi, guys!

Don’t "oh, hi, guys" me. What are you up to?

Nothing. I was trying to finish my painting, heh.

Do you like it?

Eh... It’s okay.

Uh...why does the puppy have a stick of dynamite?

Ah well. He’s an angry puppy.

But he’s learning to control his anger.

Just like me.

I find painting very soothing.

Thanks for nothing, Killow.

[CLOCK TICKING] [YAWNS]

Got a cat in a tree.

[CAT MEOWING]

[CAT YOWLING] KAI: Ow.

[GRUNTS] Aah! Ow!

Meow! [GROANING]

KAI [MUFFLED]: There’s your cat.

Mister Whiskers! [PURRING]

[ALL GROAN]

[WOMAN 1 SCREAMS]

[WOMAN 2 SCREAMS]

[PEOPLE GASP]

All right, ladies and gentlemen!

This is a stickup!

Cash, watches, wallets!

In the bag! Now!

[SHOUTS A BATTLE CRY]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

[♪]

[GRUNTING]

DIRECTOR: Cut! Cut, cut, cut!

This isn’t in the script!

Who authorized these changes?

[GROANING]

Oh, boy...

[♪]

Coffee spill in the break room!

Someone used the last roll of toilet paper.

There’s a bull in the china shop.

I can’t believe this is happening to us.

There is literally nothing to do in the entire city.

Statistically, the absence of a single crime or felony

in a city this size is remarkable.

I wish I understood what you just said, but I don’t.

How’s it a city this size has no crime?

And how’s it that you’re always working on that model ship

and never make any progress?

What?

Oh, never mind.

What is going on with us?

We’re getting loopy.

We’re ninja!

W-we need action! Suspense!

Danger!

You guys could help me with some filing.

How is that dangerous?

If you’re not paying attention, you could get a paper cut.

LLOYD: If I ever see another file,

it’ll be too soon. Let’s never do that again.

So many paper cuts.

I can’t believe I lost

to a filing cabinet. Hmm.

Let’s not tell anyone about this day.

Ever.

Okay with me.

Me too.

Me three.

[TV CLICKS ON, NEWS THEME PLAYING]

I’m here with Ninjago’s

foremost archeologist, Clutch Powers,

who’s discovered an unknown pyramid

buried deep in the Desert of Doom.

Professor Powers, what can you tell us about the pyramid?

Absolutely nothing, Gayle.

I haven’t been inside, and I don’t plan to.

But I thought--

You wanna know what’s inside?

Traps. Booby traps. Butt loads of them.

Pitfalls and blow darts,

and fake tiles that collapse when you step on them,

and big boulders that drop on you. No, thank you.

GAYLE [SCOFFS]: But isn’t that your job? As an archeologist?

To, you know, explore and go on dangerous quests?

Technically, yes. What’s your point?

GAYLE: Well, someone has to go inside.

CLUTCH: It would take a ninja

to survive what’s in there.

Do I look like a ninja? No.

Point made.

That’s it! That’s our quest!

I’ll pack my bag!

Sunscreen! Bring lots of sunscreen!

Ooh, this is gonna be so much fun!

[IN UNISON] Ninja go!

Well, there you have it.

Gayle Gossip, broadcasting from a mysterious secret pyramid.

That’s gonna stay secret.

Because no one’s going in.

And I got my hair done especially for this day.

What a bust.
