1. Long ago, in a distant land,
Copy !req
2. I, Aku, the shape-shifting
master of darkness,
Copy !req
3. unleashed an unspeakable evil,
Copy !req
4. but, a foolish samurai warrior
Copy !req
5. wielding a magic sword
Copy !req
6. stepped forth to oppose me.
Copy !req
7. Before the final blow was struck,
Copy !req
8. I tore open a portal in time,
Copy !req
9. and flung him into the future,
Copy !req
10. where my evil is law.
Copy !req
11. Now, the fool seeks to return to the past
Copy !req
12. and undo the future that is Aku.
Copy !req
13. Please, don't take my soul.
Copy !req
14. Aku.
Copy !req
15. You will not claim another innocent.
Copy !req
16. Samurai Jack.
Copy !req
17. My hero.
Copy !req
18. Ow!
Copy !req
19. I hate being Aku.
Copy !req
20. I don't want to be him anymore.
Copy !req
21. I want to be Jack.
Copy !req
22. What?
Copy !req
23. First of all,
I do the best Jack imitation.
Copy !req
24. Do it again, Phil.
Copy !req
25. Ahem.
Copy !req
26. (IN JACK'S VOICE) Aku,
you will not claim another innocent.
Copy !req
27. (REGULAR VOICE) And second,
you used to love being Aku.
Copy !req
28. Yeah, that was before Jack came along.
Copy !req
29. Now, everyone wants to play Jack
and destroy me.
Copy !req
30. But you look just like him.
Copy !req
31. Nuh-uh. It's just my hair.
Copy !req
32. (IN JACK'S VOICE) No, Aku,
Copy !req
33. your tricks will not
protect you this time.
Copy !req
34. Yeah!
Copy !req
35. Destroy Aku.
Copy !req
36. For eons, I have terrorized this land.
Copy !req
37. Every miserable creature trembled
Copy !req
38. at the mere mention of my name.
Copy !req
39. The pitiful people shrank
before my awesome power,
Copy !req
40. but now, I am openly mocked
by these measly urchins.
Copy !req
41. Tales of the samurai's heroics
Copy !req
42. have spread through the world
like a virus,
Copy !req
43. but I will cure the world
of this plague of hope.
Copy !req
44. I will unleash such evil
Copy !req
45. that even the most innocent soul
will be consumed by terror.
Copy !req
46. We're not afraid of you anymore, Aku,
Copy !req
47. no matter what you do.
Copy !req
48. Hush!
Copy !req
49. You cannot speak of Aku this way.
Copy !req
50. Insolent brats.
Copy !req
51. Their elders still fear
and respect the almighty Aku.
Copy !req
52. But this new generation...
Copy !req
53. The seed of rebellion
has been planted in them
Copy !req
54. by these tales of heroism.
Copy !req
55. Well, if they respond to stories,
Copy !req
56. I have a tale or two that will turn Aku
Copy !req
57. into the hero of their young hearts.
Copy !req
58. What's going on?
Copy !req
59. Why have we been forced to come here?
Copy !req
60. A tale must be told...
Copy !req
61. A tale of epic proportions.
Copy !req
62. I will take you to a universe far away,
Copy !req
63. to a world of hunger,
Copy !req
64. for the only one who ate
was a corrupt and evil beast,
Copy !req
65. a devourer of worlds,
Copy !req
66. who set his sight
on our defenseless sphere.
Copy !req
67. But, a beloved and courageous hero
Copy !req
68. arose to oppose the terrorizing beast.
Copy !req
69. Mounted on his sled
with eight tiny reindeer,
Copy !req
70. he flew into battle
against the cosmic scourge.
Copy !req
71. Then, the great warrior focused
all his power into his spear of truth,
Copy !req
72. and he hurled it with all his might.
Copy !req
73. The spear struck the beast,
Copy !req
74. transforming him into...
Copy !req
75. beef jerky.
Copy !req
76. The great warrior was victorious,
Copy !req
77. and the people feasted
on the spoils of his conquest
Copy !req
78. and never went hungry again.
Copy !req
79. "Who shall we thank
for this heroic feat?", the people asked.
Copy !req
80. The warrior removed his helmet
to reveal himself.
Copy !req
81. It was none other than I, Aku.
Copy !req
82. And so, the people bowed down
Copy !req
83. and made the great warrior their king.
Copy !req
84. That is the story of how I came to be.
Copy !req
85. Hmm...
Copy !req
86. Perhaps my story is too complex
for these young minds.
Copy !req
87. A story of the purest
simplicity must be told.
Copy !req
88. Yes, fairy tales are simple,
Copy !req
89. but the heroes within are legendary.
Copy !req
90. Little Red Riding Hood.
Copy !req
91. "Once upon a time,
Copy !req
92. "there was a little girl
who was loved by all."
Copy !req
93. Hmm...
Copy !req
94. Yes, I am familiar with this one.
Copy !req
95. Once upon a time,
Copy !req
96. there was a little girl
Copy !req
97. with an adorable red cape and...
Copy !req
98. great flaming eyebrows
Copy !req
99. who was beloved by all,
Copy !req
100. and so, the people affectionately
named her Little Red Hood.
Copy !req
101. One day, Little Red Hood was on her way
Copy !req
102. to her grandmother's house.
Copy !req
103. My poor grandmama is of delicate health,
Copy !req
104. so, I am delivering to her
Copy !req
105. a picnic basket of confectionery treats.
Copy !req
106. Did someone say
Copy !req
107. picnic basket filled with
delicious confectionery treats?
Copy !req
108. And so, the mean wolf took a shortcut
Copy !req
109. and arrived at Grandmother's house
before Little Red Hood.
Copy !req
110. Who's there?
Copy !req
111. Howdy ho, Grandma.
It's me, the wolf.
Copy !req
112. Oh, my.
Copy !req
113. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm petrifying.
Copy !req
114. Now, enough with the chit-chat.
In you go.
Copy !req
115. How horrible.
Copy !req
116. Little Red Hood
approached Grandma's house,
Copy !req
117. unaware of what awaits her within.
Copy !req
118. Who's there?
Copy !req
119. Hey, hey, keep it down in there.
Copy !req
120. Ahem.
Copy !req
121. Come in, my child.
Copy !req
122. Hey, there, Red.
Copy !req
123. How about giving me
some of those confectionery treats?
Copy !req
124. My, Grandma, what big eyes you have.
Copy !req
125. Yeah, yeah. Big eyes, big teeth,
and a big appetite.
Copy !req
126. The wolf attacked Little Red Hood,
Copy !req
127. not knowing that Little Red Hood
had laser eye beams,
Copy !req
128. great combat skills,
Copy !req
129. and a powerful uppercut
Copy !req
130. that freed Little Red's grandmother
Copy !req
131. from the evil bowels of the wolf.
Copy !req
132. Mmm! Confectionery treats.
Copy !req
133. And so, Little Red Hood
was victorious.
Copy !req
134. Do not be afraid, children.
Copy !req
135. Show your joy.
Copy !req
136. Do you not like the tales of Aku?
Copy !req
137. Speak!
Copy !req
138. Yes, child?
Copy !req
139. Share your thoughts on the tales of Aku.
Copy !req
140. Well, the stories were told very well.
Copy !req
141. Yes?
Copy !req
142. But I think we would like to hear
a story about...
Copy !req
143. Samurai Jack.
Copy !req
144. What?
Copy !req
145. So be it.
Copy !req
146. Pay attention, children,
Copy !req
147. for you are about to hear the story of...
Copy !req
148. Jack and the three bears.
Copy !req
149. Once upon a time,
Copy !req
150. there were three bears who lived together
Copy !req
151. in a house of wood.
Copy !req
152. One was a little wee bear,
Copy !req
153. one was a middle-sized bear,
Copy !req
154. and the other was a great huge bear.
Copy !req
155. I made us some porridge, comrades,
Copy !req
156. but, alas, it is too hot.
Copy !req
157. That's okay, brother.
Copy !req
158. We can go for a walk in the woods
Copy !req
159. while it cools off.
Copy !req
160. Oh, yummy porridge.
Copy !req
161. And while they were out,
Copy !req
162. a wicked samurai came to the house.
Copy !req
163. He was not a good samurai.
Copy !req
164. He was an impudent, bad old samurai.
Copy !req
165. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
166. Porridge.
Copy !req
167. And so, the wicked samurai
began to eat.
Copy !req
168. It did not matter to him
Copy !req
169. if the porridge was too hot,
too cold, or just right.
Copy !req
170. He ate it all.
Copy !req
171. Oh, yeah. Yum.
(LAUGHS)
Copy !req
172. And then, he set off
to destroy the three bears' house.
Copy !req
173. When the three bears returned,
Copy !req
174. complete destruction awaited them.
Copy !req
175. Someone's been eating my porridge.
Copy !req
176. Someone's been messing with my books.
Copy !req
177. Someone's been wearing my clothes.
Copy !req
178. Someone wrecked our whole house.
Copy !req
179. And there he is.
Copy !req
180. Sleeping in my bed.
Copy !req
181. Shut up! I'm trying to sleep.
Copy !req
182. Um, sir? Aku?
Copy !req
183. Yes, child? Why do you interrupt Aku?
Copy !req
184. Well, the thing is, Jack wouldn't do that.
Copy !req
185. Oh, you know him?
Copy !req
186. No, but...
Copy !req
187. Very well.
Perhaps, I exaggerated a little.
Copy !req
188. But this next story is true
to its uttermost detail.
Copy !req
189. Once upon a time, there was a house
Copy !req
190. built from straw, wood and brick,
Copy !req
191. where three innocent little pigs
Copy !req
192. happily made their residence.
Copy !req
193. Until there was a knock at the door.
Copy !req
194. It was big, bad Jack.
Copy !req
195. Little pig, little pig,
Copy !req
196. open up and let me in!
Copy !req
197. Not by the hairs of
our chinny chin chins.
Copy !req
198. Then I'll huff and I'll puff
Copy !req
199. and I'm coming in.
Copy !req
200. Here's Jackie.
Copy !req
201. Aku? Sir?
Copy !req
202. Yes, girl-child?
Copy !req
203. I'm scared.
Copy !req
204. Good. The samurai is scary.
Copy !req
205. But Jack would never do such a...
Copy !req
206. Silence!
Copy !req
207. I will continue with yet another tale.
Copy !req
208. The story of poor little Cinderella
Copy !req
209. and her evil stepmother Jacqueline
Copy !req
210. and her two wicked stepsisters
Jackie and Jacqella.
Copy !req
211. Scrub that floor.
Copy !req
212. - Wash those dishes.
- Make me dinner.
Copy !req
213. But Jack is a man.
Very well!
Copy !req
214. There once was a house made of candy,
Copy !req
215. but a giant samurai came and smashed it.
Copy !req
216. Fo fee fi fo fum. Guess my name.
Copy !req
217. But, those are
three different stories.
Copy !req
218. With great endings.
Copy !req
219. And so, the samurai prince
Copy !req
220. finally found the magic frog
and kissed him,
Copy !req
221. enraging the frog,
who then ate the samurai prince.
Copy !req
222. But wasn't Jack just a giant?
Copy !req
223. Yes, and he fell off the beanstalk.
Copy !req
224. But he wasn't on a beanstalk.
You are correct.
Copy !req
225. He was searching for his lost sheep,
Copy !req
226. who stampeded over him.
Copy !req
227. That's not how the story goes.
Copy !req
228. Yes, it does!
Copy !req
229. After barely surviving the sheep stampede,
Copy !req
230. a cat in giant boots came along
and kicked the samurai.
Copy !req
231. What?
Copy !req
232. Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair.
Copy !req
233. What's happening?
Copy !req
234. Enough.
Copy !req
235. Here is the truest tale of all.
Copy !req
236. There was an almighty, all-powerful wizard
Copy !req
237. and there was a pathetic little samurai,
Copy !req
238. and the wizard destroyed him.
Copy !req
239. The end.
Copy !req
240. No, that's not how it would happen.
Copy !req
241. Yeah.
Copy !req
242. First, it would be a misty night.
Copy !req
243. And, Jack would be
climbing a huge castle.
Copy !req
244. But not before he defeated
Copy !req
245. its eight foot, six-armed mutant guard.
Copy !req
246. Yeah.
Copy !req
247. Then he will be climbing
all battle damaged.
Copy !req
248. With his hair all messed up.
Copy !req
249. BOY 43 With his sword in his teeth.
Copy !req
250. Yeah.
Copy !req
251. And as Jack reaches the top of the castle,
Copy !req
252. Aku would creepily creep out
from the shadows.
Copy !req
253. But Jack can smell
his terrible stench.
Copy !req
254. And then they fight.
Not yet.
Copy !req
255. First, they would
stare each other down.
Copy !req
256. And then, they fight.
No, not yet.
Copy !req
257. Jack would first say,
Copy !req
258. "You have plagued the land
with your evil long enough.
Copy !req
259. Prepare to meet your doom."
Copy !req
260. And then they fight.
Copy !req
261. No, not yet.
Copy !req
262. Because Aku would answer,
Copy !req
263. "You are a truly powerful samurai,
Copy !req
264. but no match for my evil wizardry."
Copy !req
265. Now?
Copy !req
266. Now.
Copy !req
267. And then, they fight!
Copy !req
268. Aku quickly turns into a huge, uh...
Copy !req
269. dragon-like creature.
Copy !req
270. But he's no match
for Jack's samurai skills.
Copy !req
271. And with one mighty blow...
Copy !req
272. Jack destroys Aku.
Copy !req
273. Then he would
sheath his sword all cool-style
Copy !req
274. and say,
Copy !req
275. "My quest has ended.
Copy !req
276. "I will now travel back to my own time
Copy !req
277. and undo the evil that Aku has done."
Copy !req
278. CHILDREN; The end.
Copy !req
