Dungeons & Dragons, Season three

Eric:
Now look what you did-you musclebound pipsqueak! I said to open the door-not blow up the house!

Dungeon Master:
You have released a signal to a being greater than you have ever encountered...AND NOW HE KNOWS WE ARE HERE!

Eric:
Hold it right there, Captain Shortness! (Bobby turns around) Not you, the other one! This stupid safari's not taking another step until you tell us what's going on!

Dungeon Master:
(pauses) We are running, Cavalier! For our very lives!

Eric:
(grabs Dungeon Master's shoulder) From what? Come on, this is a joke, right? You're looking at old pros here! We've survived everything this silly Realm's dished out, from five-headed dragons to one-horned Vengers!

Presto:
Yeah, everything except triple-eyed, double-fanged, flying purple people-eaters.

Bobby:
Are you kidding? I got one of those last week!

Eric:
Give it up, Presto. Nothing in that hat's gonna help us!

Presto:
Well, not unless you want a-a set of highway safety flares! Or-Or a battery-powered emergency radio! .... with no batteries. Or maybe a copy of.... "Ranger Fred's Guide to Survival in the Amazon"? (groans) I think my stupid hat needs a tune-up.

Dungeon Master:
No Cavelier You asked permission (sternly gazes at Hank; Hank had not stopped Eric from trying to open the box; Hank admits he was wrong )

Bobby:
WHO IS IT OR WHAT IS IT?

Dungeonmaster:
His name is not for your ears....He is not life as we know it.

Hank:
That thing chased us all the way across the Realm!

Dungeonmaster:
Let it END here..One way or another...

Bobby:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE END? SIS WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO US?

Dinah:
This is just a test? YOU are going to save US?

Presto:
....Get Dungeonmaster to that heart of dawn thing..if you don't..NONE OF US WILL SEE ANOTHER SUNRISE.

Eric:
Is this what heaven looks like?

Venger:
GUESS AGAIN FOOL.

Shelia:
He...is ...really gone?

Dungeonmaster:
He is gone to wreak havoc on other worlds. Still we may have a little time.

Shelia:
Until when?

Dungeonmaster:
Until HE RETURNS...

Eric:
If only we'd gotten to the portal in the Castle of Clouds...

Shelia:
Another chance to go home lost in smoke...

Eric:
(having his hair cut by Presto) Right now, I'd be happy to find a decent barber.

Presto:
Would you hold still?

Eric:
I am! What do you want, rigor mortis?

Pilot:
Mayday! Mayday! Starfire to base! Does anybody read me? I just had a dogfight with a- a flyin' dragon! Where am I? What's goin' on? Can anybody hear me?!

Venger:
[flies in] I hear you. Surrender your ship to me. Now.

Pilot:
Base, base, do you copy? Now I'm under attack by- some guy in a dress.... ridin' a flying horse?

Venger:
I shall explain. Your.... friend and I have struck a bargain.

Diana:
What?!

Venger:
In exchange for passage back to his own world, he has agreed to help me ELIMINATE YOU from this one. With that machine, he will tip the scales of battle: his country, not yours, shall WIN your insignificant Second World War. History will CHANGE. Your parents will have never MET. And none of you will have been BORN.

Sheila:
What?! [Venger condescendingly lifts her chin] Hank!!

Bobby:
Get away from my sister, you creep! (swings club at Venger, who easily catches it and lifts him into the air)

Sheila:
Bobby!

Venger:
How very amusing. (Hank nocks an energy arrow) Go ahead, Ranger. Fire, if you wish.

(Venger drops Bobby, who tries to attack him again, but Sheila holds him back)

Bobby:
Let me go!

Sheila:
No, Bobby! That's what he wants you do to!

Venger:
Indeed. I want you to do whatever you please, Barbarian. Fight. Scream. Run, if you wish! As fast and as far as you can! In a moment, the portal will open, and even the MEMORY of you will VANISH from your world!

Hank:
I saw it but I don't believe it.

Bobbi:
Yeah it.... works!

Hank:
Lorne, that thing makes everything worse.

Lorne:
I can't control it.

Eric:
Wizard, are you nuts? I'm too SMART to be a wizard and he's TOO DUMB.

Presto:
Why aren't they coming after us?

Eric:
Can't blame them; this place looks like something out of "Better Homes and Gargoyles".

Karina:
I needed you to break the spell to retrieve my ring.. Now I have it I DON'T need YOU anymore (evil laugh)

Karina:
(snarls in rage) WELCOME ....BROTHER.

Kids:
He's your BROTHER? She's your sister?

Venger:
I will DESTROY YOU..AND YOUR young friends.

Karena:
The ring you found..I MUST HAVE IT..and only then will I have absolute POWER.

Dungeomaster:
To get home one of you will have to be more wrong than right...for only the heart can lead you home.

(Karina is wildly firing magical blasts around an illusion-filled room; Sheila, invisible, laughs)

Sheila:
I sure hope Venger's other brothers and sisters are more clever than you.

Karina:
(panicking, intensifying blasts) When I'm through with you, I'll deal with your friends!

Sheila:
How would you know what friends are? You don't have any!

Karina:
YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE! (blasts a wall, revealing the door)

Sheila:
(singsong) Thank you....

Karina:
No Without my ring im defenseless

Kareena; VENGER...NO....VENGER...NO...Stop.

Shelia:
I can't let Venger destroy her.

Venger:
I will do to you what I should have done years ago...Farewell little SISTER...You will not help her...

Eric:
(again denied a way home] Oh, great, I knew it. Goodbye, pizza, goodbye, milkshake, goodbye, cheeseburgers.... sauerkraut.... homework.... (lightly) Oh, well, I guess it isn't all bad news. (after Kareena is redeemed from evil-the blue ring influence is what turned her evil)

Dungeonmaster:
Welcome home Kareena.

Martha:
Well, before you attempt the impossible, you'd better eat.

Martha:
(to Darkling) There is no darkness so powerful that a single candle flame can't chase it away!

Soldier:
How could you lose a creature that shade of orange?!

King Varen:
WHERE IS MY TREASURE?

Soldier:
We don't know sire..but these children do!

King Varin:
WELL?

Dinah:
ITS WHERE you'll NEVER GET IT.

King Varin:
Is that a fact? Who's going to stop me? Arrest these children.

Dungeonmaster:
"You are correct, Cavalier. You are closer to home, than you think. For home is a reflection of the heart. A reflection you are beginning to understand".

Venger:
Your pupils are doomed to failure. They are brave only because they know you stand behind them.

Dungeon Master:
Not so: They can triumph over anything in the Realm, as you well know. They will not fail.

Hank:
C'mon, we all know what this is about. We're not mad at each other - we're mad at Dungeon Master. I don't know what to tell you... except that it's getting dark, and we'd better find a place to camp. You want the point, Eric? You got it. Lead the way.

Eric:
This whole Realm is a dungeon, y'know that? And we're all prisoners. We thought Dungeon Master was our friend, but it turns out he's just another guard.

Venger:
So Dungeon Master has finally shown his true colors. Have you never wondered why his advice always led you into battle, and never back to your world? It has been convenient for you to see Dungeon Master as good, and me as evil. But things are not that simple. I have granted your lives before. Aid me now, and I shall grant you your dearest wish: I will send you back to your own world.

Hank:
Eric, we gotta stick together-

Eric:
Why, Hank? We always stick together, and it hasn't gotten us home. You guys can do what you want, but we're going after that key.

Sheila:
Are we doing the right thing, Eric?

Eric:
I don't know. But we're not turning back.

Dungeon Master:
And you have given those trapped in this Realm their freedom. I can do no less for you. You are free to return to your world now, if you wish. Or you may stay here, in the Realm. There is still much evil to be dealt with, and many adventures yet to be had. The choice, my children, is yours.

Narrator:
The kids look at each other, grinning, tears of happiness in their eyes, ready to make their greatest decision of all. They survey their newly-transformed surroundings, the Realm's Edge, majestic mountains, and puffy clouds, even the incredible vista of the entire Realm itself, with its myriad lands and lifeforms, its joys, its dangers. Though it's a new Realm now, it still is, and always will be the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons.

Presto makes a spell that causes King Varin and his soldiers to float to a cave ceiling so they can escape.After the kids reflect that another chance to go home is lost, the last words of the series are spoken by Dungeonmaster:

Note:
The actors did read out "Requiem" as a radio play and a Portuguese comic book version of Dungeons and Dragons did produce "Requiem". "Requiem" had an unresolved clifhanger ending: the kids either finally going home (if the series was canceled) or a 4th season of more adventures (if the series was renewed), but with a difference: according to the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon Wiki episode listing: "..If the show had continued, they would have left the Realm, but not make it home, instead, a new world, with a female DungeonMaster would be on the other side ready to guide them". As noted this series never had a concluding episode-not even with "Requiem"-hence imaginative fans can write their own versions of what happened to the kids, for example at Fanfiction [1][2]In 2020 Fans [with the help of old clips from the series] made a cartoon version of "Requiem" in which the kids after redeeming Venger deceide to go home but with a Twist ending:The only characther who deceides to stay in the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons Is Presto! Ironically in the 2023 "Dungeons & Dragons Movie Honor Among Theives" the kids have a short cameo appearence of being trapped in a maze still trying to get home. In Video game Baldur Gate II/Copper Corenet Hank and Bobbi have a cameo appearence [paintings], There is also a CBS Wiki fandom sumary of the series[3]
