King Dedede:
You must be cleaning this castle with your eye-shut. It's filthy! [He blows the dust at Escargoon]

Escargoon:
[coughing] I dust this dump every day! I can't be a full-time housekeeper and a full-time lackey.

King Dedede:
Well, you better find a way you out of here.

Escargoon:
But sire, I need this rotten job.

King Dedede:
It's time for my massage.

[Escargoon massaging Dedede on a back, grunting]

King Dedede:
Quit wimpin' out. Pull a little muscle into.

Escargoon:
How's this?

King Dedede:
LOUSY! This is how you give a massage!

Escargoon:
[screaming as Dedede stretching his arms] Uncle! [thuds] That wasn't too relaxing.

King Dedede:
Guess I'll have to pull harder next time. [laying down on a beach lounge chair] Fetch me a toothpick and my monster catalogue.

[Escargoon scowls]

King Dedede:
[Being serious] What you waiting for!?

Escargoon:
Sorry, Sire. [He scurried]

King Dedede:
My monster catalogue.

Escargoon:
Ugh. I've forgot. [He scurried again]

King Dedede:
Magnifying glasses.

Escargoon:
Sorry, Sire. [He scurried once again] Here.

King Dedede:
I want me a cup of tea.

Escargoon:
[He scurried again once more] Yes, Sire.

King Dedede:
Too cold.

Escargoon:
Right. [He keep scurried]

King Dedede:
Too hot.

Escargoon:
[He scurried slowly, panting] The King's runnin' me ragged here! I wish he'd give me some time off to take a trip! [He tripped on a carpet as the cup of tea spilled on his head, screamed in pain] Hotty! Hotty! Hotty! Hotty!

King Dedede:
Escargoon!

Escargoon:
His Highness does care about me. Oh, Si..[Getting hitted by Dedede's mallet]

King Dedede:
You spilled tea on my carpet!

Escargoon:
But Sire, I'm bound to make mistakes when you overwork me and don't give me a break.

King Dedede:
Well if you fooled up again I'll give you plenty of breaks from head to toe.

Escargoon:
Hmph! You snail-driver! I'm tired of being harassed, tired of being insulted, and tired of being tired!

[At Doctor Yabui's clinic, Escargoon gets his fractured shell looked at by Doctor Yabui]

Dr. Yabui:
Oh...yes I see...my goodness.

Escargoon:
Your goodness what, doc?

Dr. Yabui:
Bad news. there's a fracture in your shell.

Escargoon:
[gasps] Well don't just sit there, fix it!

Dr. Yabui:
I'm afraid there's nothing I can do.

[Escargoon whimpers in terror]

Dr. Yabui:
It can't be repaired.

Escargoon:
You're joking!

Dr. Yabui:
It might even get bigger.

Escargoon:
THIS CAN'T BE!!![His shell cracks once more, Tiff and Tuff gasped. Whimpering in terror, he sees behind his shell cracking again, cries] PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Tiff:
That's tough.

Tuff:
Don't get excited, Escargoon. It's only a shell.

Escargoon:
Don't tell me not to get excited, kid. My whole world's falling apart!

[Escargoon is suddenly interrupted by Dedede shows up in the Royal Racecar to exacerbate things further]

King Dedede:
Hey, Yabui. No use hiding Escargoon! [He barges into Yabui's clinic] Come on out! I know you here some-place. And I'm gonna find ya. [He tries to open the door] It's me, Escargoonie-goo. Open up this here door. I'm your best pal, ain't I? I won't hurt you.

Escargoon:
Go away. I can't see you now. I'm studying for a blood test.

King Dedede:
I'm real worried about you, so please open up, little buddy? [He pulls out his mallet] In fact...I'll open it for you! Stand back, buddy! [He hits a door with a his mallet]

Escargoon:
He wants to smash my shell to pieces! [He barricades the door]

King Dedede:
Now ain't you gonna let me in there or ain'cha?

Escargoon:
[grunts] Uh-uh! [His shell cracks again, then he screaming in terror]

Tiff:
Stop that! Haven't you done enough?! Don't you know Escargoon needs his shell to protect his body?!

King Dedede:
Protect his body?

Dr. Yabui:
That's right. Without his shell, Escargoon would be completely exposed.

[Tuff laughing]

King Dedede:
Hey! Wonder what that looks like...[He imagines what Escargoon would look like without his "clothes" on, which is reference by The Birth of Venus; thinking] Am I being disrespectful? Should I leave Escargoon alone? Probably but I ain't a' going to. Now show me what you hiding under that there shell!

Escargoon:
I'm never showing nothing to nobody!

Tiff, Tuff, and Dr. Yabui:
Nobody?

Escargoon:
Why do I suddenly feel like a scientist experiment!? [When Dedede busts the door with his mallet] I'm not letting you open this door!

King Dedede:
[He continue busting the door with his mallet for several times] Let me in!

Escargoon:
GO AWAY!!! Help me.

King Dedede:
Here I come! [He smash the door down. He does so and breaks the shell completely]

Escargoon:
That did it!

[All exclaims, and Kirby close the Escargoon's shell]

King Dedede:
Hey! You get off of that! You can't park it there!

Tiff:
Stay right where you are! Now you've done it! You've split Escargoon's shell apart!

Escargoon:
I never felt so violated! I lost my dignity!

King Dedede:
Now you just relax whilst I have myself a little look-see here.

Escargoon:
Don't let him touch me!

King Dedede:
You know you're gonna have to show me sooner or later.

Escargoon:
How about later? Much later.

[Dedede chases Escargoon around, both yelling]

King Dedede:
As your king, is it my royal right to see what you got under that shell and I ain't quit 'til I get a peek! [As he steps on Escargoon's tail, Escargoon screams as Kirby falls off. Escargoon grab and pull the tail offs and his so the shell falls off, but it closed again] Oh no!

Escargoon:
Thank goodness.

Kirby:
Po-yay?

Tiff:
Leave Escargoon alone! Don't you think you've caused enough trouble for him already?!

King Dedede:
Not really. I think I could cause a lot more trouble.

Tiff:
You broke his shell in the first place, so you better find him a new one!

Escargoon:
And fast!

King Dedede:
Find him a new shell, huh? That's a great idea!

King Dedede:
With my new remote-controlled spy fly, I'll get me a real bug's eye view! [He uses the Grasshopper Eavesdropper to take a peek at the Escargoon in a changing-tent]

Escargoon:
How humiliating...[He pick up with the tin-pan] This one looks too small, but I'll try it on anyway,

King Dedede:
This is it! Yeah! Let see!!

Escargoon:
[Moans, but he noticed Grasshopper Eavesdropper spying on him and he screaming in shocked, smashes it with the tin-pan] SPY ON ME, WILL YA!?

King Dedede:
It's busted! Now my undercover bug can't spy on that slug!

Tiff:
Escargoon, are you okay?

[Tiff and Tuff accidentally lift the changing tent curtain too early, Escargoon screaming while he's naked]

Tuff:
Hehe..

Tiff:
Uhh...Sorry about that.

Escargoon:
[In a changing tent] A tin pan on my can...How am I supposed to look good in this junkaroo!? [Wears a bucket] Ta-da! Bucket-butt! [Wears a sheep wool] Look at me! I'm a sheep! I'm a mess! [Wears a vase, laughing] How about this one? Disaster! [As he throws a vase out of changing tent]

Sir Ebrum:
Steady, Tiff.

Lady Like:
Did it work?

Tiff:
I hope so. Wow, this shell sure is interesting.

Tuff:
It is?

Tiff:
Sure. Just look at how intricate it is inside.

Tuff:
Wow, how come something as nasty as a snail gets such a nice shell, Tiff?

Tiff:
Because snails don't have any bones in their bodies.

Sir Ebrum:
I wonder what he does look like without that shell.

Tuff:
Escar-goofy!

[All laughing, except Tiff]

Escargoon:
[upset] Quit making jokes and go find me something decent to wear, I can't bear it anymore!

Escargoon:
See? We're crackin' the whip on 'em!

King Dedede:
Them animators is under total control now. I ain't gonna let 'em out the dungeon 'till they got my cartoon finished!

Tuff:
But they look miserable in there.

Tiff:
These animators like they're dangerous animals.

King Dedede:
I think that there's an insult!

Escargoon:
Yeah, animals aren't that bad.

[Dedede and Escargoon laughing]

Tiff:
They could be drawing whatever they want to.

Tuff:
Did you check on them to make sure they're drawing you?

King Dedede:
Let me see!

Biggy:
Later!

Escargoon:
[Bony exclaims] I want to look at what you're doing!

[King Dedede and Escargoon discovers the sketches of Tiff that his three boys were working on]

Tiff:
See, I told you so.

Escargoon:
She's right, they haven't made any drawings of you!

King Dedede:
NO WAY!!! How can this show be about me if i ain't in it!

Escargoon:
They can't redo the cartoon in one day.

King Dedede:
Only way to make the broadcast is to force the Cappies to do it!

Tiff:
Don't bet on it, the Cappies would never work for you again.

Tuff:
They learned their lesson last time.

King Dedede:
[angrily growling in furious. He runs off] Let's go talk to the Salesman!

N.M.E. Sales Guy:
Aww, having production problems?

Escargoon:
Those animators you sent won't obey our orders!

King Dedede:
They makin' the show all about Tiff!

N.M.E. Sales Guy:
If we don't get your cartoon tomorrow there's a penalty.

King Dedede:
Don't blame me, it's them animation freaks fault!

Escargoon:
The only way we can deliver on time is if you send us the fastest animator ever.

King Dedede:
Make it quick, there ain't time to lose!

King Dedede:
Well, guys?

Sleepy:
It wasn't easy, dude, but we did it.

Biggy:
We had to draw it really fast.

Bony:
But it's way cool!

King Dedede:
Who cares? It's done!

Escargoon:
10 seconds left!

[Meanwhile, Dedede puts it on the reel]

Tiff:
They drew it a day?

Tuff:
That's amazing!

Kirby:
Poyo.

[Dedede sets it up for live broadcast]

Tiff:
I underestimated you three. [The three boys laughs each other] You obviously have more talent then I gave you credit for.

[The cartoon begins with an overly-stylized image of Tiff. King Dedede and Escargoon's jaws drop, Tiff is shocked, and Tuff and Kirby cover their eyes]

Escargoon:
That doesn't look like you, sire!

King Dedede:
There's somethin' bout 'dat girly that looks sorta familiar!

Tiff (anime-stylized):
I got an idea, I'll invent my own cartoon!

Tuff:
That's supposed to be you!

Tiff:
That's my voice but the rest is all wrong!

Kirby:
Poyo...

Tiff (anime-stylized):
[giggles] This is an absolutely perfect day for snowing, don't you think so? [giggles]

Tiff:
That's so disgusting!

Kirby:
[closes eyes] Poy-oy...

[an image of the animated Tiff holding a parfait is shown]

Tiff (anime-stylized):
I think I'll have a picnic all by myself!

[cut to Tiff growling angrily as she balls her fists]

Tiff (anime-stylized):
I got a funny feeling that somebody out there is watching me.

[cut back to Tiff, who at this point is a boiling mass of impotent rage]

Tiff (anime-stylized):
I wanna be a cartoon star! [giggles]

Tiff:
[She looks at the three boys] Is that airhead really supposed to be me?!

Biggy:
[as the boys laughs] Yeah! Except she's not short like you!

Tiff:
Yeah, I'm short alright... [growls as she pulls out what appears to be King Dedede's mallet out of nowhere] AND SO'S MY TEMPEEER!!!!!

[Tiff attacks the three boys over their exploitative depiction of her in their cartoon, using King Dedede's hammer. The episode ends as Kirby joins in the chase, thinking it to be a game]

Kirby:
POYO!

Mayor Len:
Oh dear.

Chief Bookem:
He's worse than heartburn.

[Kirby crashes into Cappy Town; charred, but he still okay after the watermelon bombs explode inside]

Tuff:
Kirby.

Tiff:
Oh no.

Tuff:
He looks barbecued.

Mayor Len:
Imagine someone doing such an awful thing.

Tiff:
[angry] DEDEDE'S GONE TOO FAR THIS TIME!!

Mayor Len:
Oh.

Tuff:
Yeah, he can't get away with turning Kirby into a firework!

Tiff:
I'm having an idea on how to get them back! And I'll need you all to help me!

[All the cappies exclaims in once]

Tiff:
If he thinks these pranks is funny he's dead wrong!

[Cut to King Dedede and Escargoon in a throne room]

King Dedede:
[laughing] So you think Kirby liked his present?

Escargoon:
He was blown away by it, Sire.

King Dedede:
[laughing] You know I almost feel sorry for that, pink pea brain. Maybe I should get him a little thank you gift for being such a good sport.

Escargoon:
Huh?

N.M.E. Sales Guy:
In the market for a monster, Big D?

King Dedede:
No thanks, I played a dynamite trick on Kirby and now I want to buy him a nice present.

N.M.E. Sales Guy:
You're joking, right?

King Dedede:
Maybe a box of chocolate-covered watermelons, or a toy, or maybe a t-shirt that says "poyo" on it.

Escargoon:
And wrap it up really pretty too.

N.M.E. Sales Guy:
You sure you guys are feeling all right?

King Dedede:
Hush-up! Just send me a present for Kirby or I'll never order a monster from you again!

N.M.E. Sales Guy:
I'll do the best I can, Your Majesty...

King Dedede:
[laughs, offscreen] That's more like it!

Waddle Doo:
[runs into the throne room] A message for you, Sire!

King Dedede:
Who's it from?

Escargoon:
It's from Tiff. She's inviting us to Kirby's memorial service.

King Dedede:
His what?

Escargoon:
I regret to inform you that Kirby is gone. We're gathering to bid farewell to him this afternoon. Please, join us to pay our last respects.

King Dedede:
Is Kirby really!?

Tiff:
Poor old Kirby.

Mayor Len:
All those explosions were simply too much for him to take!

[Dedede and Escargoon whimpering]

King Dedede:
So, Kirby's in there?

Gus:
Hard for him. What was left.

King Dedede:
[gasped. he cried] KIRBY!! [whimpering as he shivering, starts having flashbacks of Kirby in his mind. While his tears about to cried] ...I'm sorry!..

[Dedede and Escargoon starts whimpering and crying in front of Kirby's grave, while Tiff, Tuff, and the Cappies, still crestfallen, are standing in front of his grave]

King Dedede:
It's all our fault!

Escargoon:
Forgive us, Kirby! That prank was His Majesty's idea, but I was the one who came up with the time bomb part! For once I wish I weren't so brilliant!

King Dedede:
[As he hitting Escargoon on a head] Now I wish you weren't dumb as me! [crying continues]

Escargoon:
How did that work possible?

King Dedede:
I never would've played that prank if I knew before that was gonna happen... I wish I could go and take it all back!

Tiff:
Unfortunately, it's too late.

King Dedede:
But there's got to be something I can do.

Tiff:
You can't do start by promising not to play any more practical jokes on your subjects!

King Dedede:
I PROMISE!! [crying] Here, Kirby. This one ain't got no time bomb.

Tiff:
I'm sure he'd like that a lot.

King Dedede:
I MISS YOU KIRBY OL' BUDDY! [cries]

Tiff:
I think Dedede is really sorry.

Mayor Len:
I agree.

Tuff:
Looks like he learned his lesson.

[Kirby then jumps out of his fake grave, and eats the watermelon. Dedede and Escargoon screams]

King Dedede:
He even got a hungry ghost!

Tiff:
Oh, Kirby.

[Tuff groans]

Escargoon:
Kirby's not a ghost. The runt's still alive! A-ha! You were all playing a trick on His Majesty, weren't ya?

King Dedede:
[whimpering as he crying loudly, tears of joy] I'M GLAD HE'S OKAY!!!

Escargoon:
You are?

King Dedede:
It was dull bein' ruler of Dream Land before you came along. I need me an enemy!

Tuff:
The king really has changed.

Tiff:
In his own twisted way he cares about Kirby.

King Dedede:
Kirby...

[Kirby and friends arrive to find Cappy Town a smoldering wreck and thousands of Cappies homeless]

Tiff:
Oh, Tuff... This is terrible. The whole place was destroyed when that spaceship attacked. There's no Cappy Town left.

Tuff:
I don't believe it.

Tokkori:
Folks are sayin' this is your fault.

[Kirby lowers his head and lets out a sad Poyo. The Cappies turn to Kirby to try to take out their grief on him]

Mayor Len Blustergas:
When your ship crashed, we welcomed you to Cappy Town and now we're paying for it, Kirby.

Chef Kawasaki:
Yeah. We lost everything because of you!

Tuggle:
It was a mistake to let you live here.

Buttercup:
Maybe it's time for you to move on.

Gengu:
Yeah, this is all your fault, Kirby!

[Kirby lets out another sad Poyo, only for his friends to step in and defend him]

Tiff:
This isn't Kirby's fault. It's Dedede's fault!

Tuff:
Yeah, what about all the times Kirby came to our rescue?

Chief Bookem:
He sure didn't save us this time.

Hana:
That's why we don't have a place to live anymore.

Mayor Len Blustergas:
Cappy Town is in ruins.

Melman:
There's not a mailbox left in the whole town.

Samo:
It's a fine mess Kirby's got us in.

Tiff:
Well, this isn't gonna solve anything.

Tuff:
Yeah! Now's the time to work together!

[The Cappies are questioning in a confused state while Tiff growls. Then she proudly grunts]

Tiff:
Come on! We can't give up now! Remember, we've been through tough times before. We'll pull through this one too!

Kirby:
Poyo!

Chief Bookem:
We just don't know what we should do, Tiff.

Tiff:
Meta Knight will tell us. He wants to meet with all of us up in the castle.
