American Dragon: Jake Long (2005–2007): Season 2, Episode 20 - Homecoming - full transcript

Rose has kept her distance from Jake, as she distracts him in his duties as the American Dragon. But when they're nominated for homecoming king and queen, Jake and Rose once again toy with being a couple. Meanwhile, the Huntsclan finds the 13th Aztec skull, that will grant one irreversible wish to whoever holds the last skull. Rose (as Huntsgirl) helps Jake retrieve it instead. But in doing so, she is recorded talking with him, revealing that she has betrayed the Huntsclan. The Huntmaster blackmails Rose into helping him get the three skulls that Jake and Grandpa possess, by threatening her long lost parents, that he kidnapped her from after she was born. The skulls must be placed in statues that happen to be at the location of the homecoming dance. After scaring the students away, the Huntsclan begin to set up the skulls to grant wishes. Jake, Trixie, and Spud have stayed, revealing to the Huntsclan who the American Dragon truly is. Grandpa, Haley, Ms. Park arrive, and battle the Huntsclan. Unfortunately, they are all defeated, including Jake, who is bound by magic chains by Rose. The Huntsmaster begins to wish all magical creatures' destruction, but Rose shoots him, and instead wished the destruction of the Huntsclan. All the Huntsmen rise and disappear, wiped from existence. But since Rose is a member, she too begins to rise away. Jake grabs the last skull, and wishes that Rose had never been kidnapped. She vanishes, he smashes the skull, transforms, and flies away. The next day at school, he bumps into Rose, but she has no recollection of him. She happens to be moving away that very day, with her real family. Jake is happy that she's finally happy, even though she's not a part of his life any longer.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

I'm telling you, Trix, it's foolproof.

Hey, guys. What's "foolproof"?

Lover mouth over here just signed himself
up for the homecoming float committee

so he could plant a big
smooch-acho on Stacey.

It's all planned out. Observe.

Step one, Stacey and I sign up
for float committee.

Step two, float committee
has access to the props storage locker,

or as it's known around school,
the kissy-kissy closet.

Step three, Stacey and I end up alone
in said closet

and proceed with said kissy-kissies.



Uh, question. Why would Stacey
kissy-kissy you if she hates you?

Stacey won't know it's me on account of...

It will be dark,
and I'll be talking like this.

Like my great-auntie Latoya?

Like Reynaldo, the strapping
Argentinean exchange student.

I'm just saying, you'll never catch me
jumping through hoops

just to get up in some guy's...
Uh, on the side, Spudinski.

Trixie's man-dar has locked on!

Hey, there, Kyle.

You signing up
for the float committee, too?

Hmm, what a coinkydinky,
don't you thinky, hmm?

(BOTH GRUNT)

Sorry. I... Oh, hey, Rose.

Hey, yourself. Happy homecoming.



So how's it going?
I mean, I haven't seen you in a while.

We saw each other last week
when we stopped the Huntsman...

That was Huntsgirl. I haven't seen you.

Jake, we agreed to keep things strictly
professional between us, remember?

Yeah. Well, I don't remember
being part of that agreement.

I'm sorry, really,
but this is the way it has to be.

-I'll, uh, see you around, okay?
-You bet your auras you will.

The ballots have been tallied and you two

have been nominated for
homecoming king and queen.

-Say what, now?
-Excuse me?

The winner will be announced
at the homecoming ball on Friday.

Isn't that groovy?

-Homecoming ball?
-King and queen?

BOTH: Groovy?

(GONG SOUNDING)

Wow. You and me up for king and queen.

That's unexpected, huh?

Royally, but the people have spoken.

-(DIGITAL BEEPING)
-It's gonna have to wait.

It's the Huntsclan. They've found
the last missing Aztec skull.

It's in an Aztec exhibit
in the Central Park Zoo.

-(GRUNTS)
-(RUMBLING)

(GRUNTING) Got it, master.

Excellent. Once all 13 skulls are united,

I shall finally have the power
to wipe magical creatures

from the face of the earth.

Oh, what's the matter, monkey man?
You want some banana-wana?

-Sike!
-(CHUCKLES) That's bananas!

You get it, you get it? Bananas? (LAUGHS)

Silence! Keep your mouths shut
and your eyes open.

Lately, it seems the American Dragon
has known our every move.

-JAKE: You got that right!
-(GRUNTS)

-Destroy the dragon!
-(LASER FIRING)

(STAMMERING) Dra...

Dragon!

This one's mine, master. (GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

Jake, 88 and 89 are getting away
with the skull.

They won't get far.
Fu Dog's guarding the rear exit.

I'd better get out there.
The Huntsman's been getting suspicious.

Rose, just think about homecoming.

The two of us as king and queen,
it wouldn't be so bad.

We'll talk tomorrow, okay?

Check it, 89. We got the skull!

♪ We're so cool and super fly ♪

♪ Dragon's got no alibi ♪

BOTH: ♪ They ugly, that's right ♪

-♪ They U-G-L-Y... ♪
-(BOTH SCREAM)

-I'll take that.
-Now that's what I call a boneheaded move.

(LAUGHS)

So, how exactly do these
skull thingies work again?

Whoever possesses all 13
is granted one irreversible wish.

And if the Huntsman gets them,

10 bucks says he ain't wishing
for a collection of 70's AM Gold.

So why don't we just destroy
the three we have and be done with it?

Well, the skulls only work
with all 13 together,

and they can only be destroyed
when all 13 are together.

When it is safe, Rose will snatch the
Huntsman's skulls and bring them to us.

Then we'll destroy them,
and bingo-bango-bazingo,

Huntsy's master plan is
flushed down the master can. Thank you.

Yeah, and I'll have time
to pursue other things, like Rose.

"Hey, you, meet me
in the kissy-kissy closet

"in five minutes for some kissy-kissies.

"Signed, you know who."

(CHUCKLES) Man, am I a sly dog or what?

(TANGO MUSIC PLAYING)

Huh?

(READING) "Hey, you,
meet me in the kissy-kissy closet

"in five minutes for some kissy-kissies.

"Signed, you know who." (GIGGLES)

Kyle Wilkins. Uh, you sly dog.

(KISSING)

TRIXIE: Ah, Kyle?

SPUD: (IN ARGENTINEAN ACCENT) Stacey?

TRIXIE: Reynaldo?
SPUD: Uh, Stacey?

TRIXIE: Spud!
SPUD: Trixie?

(BOTH SCREAMING)

JAKE: Just think about homecoming.
The two of us as king and queen,

-it wouldn't be so bad.
-We'll talk tomorrow, okay?

-(GRUNTS)
-(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

88, 89, I have an assignment for you.

It appears we have a traitor in our midst.

ROSE: Thanks for rescuing me.

After two days of photoshoots,
I've been dying for a little peace and...

(GASPS) Jake, what is this?

Since homecoming doesn't seem
to be in the cards for us,

I thought we'd have a ball of our own.
Care to dance?

(SLOW DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

Jake, it's not that I don't want
to go with you. It's just...

Too dangerous. I know.

It's more than that.
I just... I want a normal life.

A life where I don't have to worry about
giant snakes or magical beetles or...

Rose, listen.
After the skull business is over,

I think it's time for you to leave
the Huntsclan. For good.

But how? I mean, where would I go?

It's not like the streets are lined
with homes for wayward dragon slayers.

Remember your dream?

The Huntsclan stole you from your parents
when you were a baby.

-I want to help you find your real family.
-Jake, thank you. I don't...

I don't know how I'd ever...
Let's go to the homecoming ball tonight.

What? Are you sure?
I mean, because I don't want...

-Yeah, I'm sure.
-Awesome!

Tonight's gonna be perfect, Rose!
I can feel it.

I'll meet you on top
of the Pantheon building.

-That's what he thinks.
-(BOTH LAUGH)

(COUGHING) I choked on my own spit.

(BOTH SCREAM)

Okay, this is bananas.
It was just one freaky, accidental kiss.

Why can't we get past it?

Hmm. You don't suppose that maybe,
possibly it might've kind of, sort of,

maybe did mean something, do you?

(LAUGHS)

Oh, you're serious.

Spudinski, there is no way.
I mean, I seriously doubt. I mean...

You think?

Well, there is one way we could find out.

(BUZZES)

Huntsgirl, how nice of you
to take time out of your

busy social life to see me.

-What?
-(SNAPS FINGERS)

JAKE: Just think about homecoming.
The two of us as king and queen,

-it wouldn't be so bad.
-ROSE: We'll talk tomorrow, okay?

Ooh! There's gonna be trouble.

Huntsgirl, how could you?

-I raised you, trained you.
-(GRUNTING)

Perhaps you trained me too well.

On the contrary,

you shall use your training
to betray your precious dragon

and bring me the remaining three skulls.

-I'd never betray him.
-Oh, but you will.

You see, I know the exact location
of your parents.

-89: With a live video feed to prove it.
-(MUSIC PLAYING)

Oopsie. You know, I hit the wrong button.

It's them.
I recognize them from my dream.

I assure you, they're quite safe,
and they'll remain that way

as long as you do exactly as I say
and bring me those skulls tonight.

-(SOULFUL ROCK MUSIC PLAYING)
-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

So here we are at homecoming.

Uh, you feeling any sparks yet?

You know what? I think I am! Or... (BURPS)

It could be that acid reflux
acting up again.

Hey, I know. Maybe I should spin you
like couples do in the movies.

Uh, okay. That'd be romantic, I guess.

(SCREAMING)

-Whoa!
-(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

-Whoops.
-Hey, Spud. Have you seen Rose?

They're about
to announce the king and queen.

Nah. Sorry, dude. Now if you'll excuse me,

I should probably go help
Trixie out of the punch bowl.

Good news, ladies. The old man's out
with his mahjong buddies,

which means we got the shop all to our...

-Oh-oh.
-(THUDS)

HUNTSMAN: Excellent work, Huntsgirl.

I gave you your skulls.
Now, tell me where my parents are.

Not until my plan is complete.

What? But you promised!

And you promised your allegiance.

SUN: And now the moment
you've all been waiting for,

the crowning of your
homecoming king and queen!

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

-(CELL PHONE CHIMING)
-(BEEPS)

Yo, Fu. Not a good time.

Yeah. You're telling me.

The Huntsman busted into the shop
and took the skulls.

Say what?
Fu, he's got the power to annihilate us.

Uh! All of us!

Well, not exactly.

According to my research,
the skulls only work

if they're inserted into something
called the Gargoyles of Pantheon.

JAKE: By Gargoyles of Pantheon,
do you mean one of these?

(DIGITAL BEEPING)

Yeah. That's the... Hey! How did you?

Fu, you and Gramps need to get
to the Pantheon building, now.

SUN: The new king and queen
of Fillmore Middle School are...

FU: Uh, kid, there's something else.
Rose led the Huntsman to the shop.

She gave him those skulls. I'm sorry, kid.

Jake and Rose!

(ALL CHEERING)

-I...I have to go.
-(BEEPS)

Hey, Jakey. You okay?

Bro, did you find Rose?

(HELICOPTER HOVERING)

-(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-GIRL: What's going on?

-(GIRL SCREAMS)
-BOY: What's happening?

(STUDENTS SCREAMING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

-(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)
-Everyone, get inside!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)

So. It's true.

Jake, I'm sorry.

(LAUGHS)

So this is the American Dragon's
true human form.

Before I wish for your annihilation,
any last words?

Well, considering the occasion,
I have just two.

Let's dance!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

-(CLANKING)
-(GRUNTS)

(GROANING)

(PANTING)

(GROANING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Help! I can't see through my eye holes!

(CRYING) Mommy!

-Taste fondue, Huntsfreak.
-(SCREAMS)

-(SWISHES)
-Huh?

(GRUNTING)

(CRACKLING)

Huntsgirl, hand me the skull
and finish him.

If you ever want to see your parents,
you'll do as I say!

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Your parents!

That's why you're doing this.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

All I wanted was a normal life,
but the Huntsclan took that away from me,

and now there's only one way
this can end, Jake.

(GRUNTING)

I'm sorry.

(ALL GRUNTING)

-Jake.
-(GRUNTS)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

-Ha! Who's eating fondue now, funny boy?
-(TRIXIE GRUNTING)

(LAUGHS)

Trix, in case we don't
make it through this,

there's something
you should know about us.

-Friends and nothing more, right?
-Amen to that, sister.

(GRUNTING)

(BUZZING)

Please, Rose, don't do this.

Well done, Huntsgirl.

(BUZZING)

By the Pantheon of Aztec skulls,

I hereby wish
for the destruction of all...

(GRUNTS)

The destruction of all Huntsclan!

(BUZZING INTENSIFIES)

(EXPLOSION)

-(BUZZING)
-Huh?

(ALL GRUNTING IN PAIN)

(CRACKLING)

Ah. Excuse me. FYI,
according to the Huntsclan bylaws,

first-year novices are allowed to resign.

Not that this hasn't been
a rewarding job experience,

-but effective immediately...
-BOTH: We quit!

See you, Huntsclan-sucking vortex.
No more Huntsclan for us. No, siree.

-(GRUNTS)
-(THUDDING)

Rose. Why did you...

I said there was only one way
this could end, and this is it.

-With the destruction of the Huntsclan.
-But you're one of them.

-But that means...
-I know what it means.

But even if we destroy the skulls,
they know your human identity, Jake.

They'd find your family
like they did mine.

This way, they'll be safe.
They'll all be safe.

(BUZZING INTENSIFIES)

(CRACKLES)

But...

Thank you, Jake, for everything.

-I'll never forget you.
-Rose, no!

Jake, let go. I'll be okay.

I promise.

I'll be okay.

We have to do something.
We have to use the skulls to save her!

Sorry, kid, but the skulls
need to be destroyed.

Their powers are just too dangerous.

To use them for your
own personal gain would...

It wouldn't be for my personal gain.
It will be for hers!

She deserves a normal life
with a family who cares about her.

(CRACKLING)

I wish Rose were never
taken by the Huntsclan.

(CRACKLING)

ROSE: I really have feelings for you.

-Let me come with you.
-(GRUNTS)

This is our dream date. Here's your proof.

It's all so weird. Jake?

(GRUNTING)

(EXPLOSION)

(GROANS)

-(SHATTERS)
-(BUZZING STOPS)

(RUMBLES)

Consider them destroyed!

(WIND BLOWING)

(SOLEMN INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

-Hey, bro. How you holding up?
-We missed you during free period.

I spent it patrolling the city.

As far as I can tell,
Rose's wish came true.

-No Huntsclan anywhere.
-But what about your wish?

I mean, if the Rose that exists today
was never taken by the Huntsclan

that means all the stuff between you
and her never happened.

-She lived a whole other life.
-(BUS STOPS)

As long as she's happy.

Well, later, guys.

I'm off to Gramps' shop
for some dragon... (GRUNTS)

Sorry. I... Oh!

(GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, there.

Hey, yourself.

You look really familiar.
Do I know you from somewhere?

No. Sorry.

I'd better get going. My parents are here.

So I guess I'll see you around.

Actually, you won't.
My dad got a job overseas.

We're leaving for Hong Kong
first thing tomorrow.

Well, it was nice talking to you.

You, too, Rose.

Happy homecoming.

(ENGINE STARTS)

Hey, dude. Are you okay?

Actually, I am.

Good to hear, bro,
but there's one thing we still don't get.

Why'd you have to destroy the skulls
before we could make our wishes?

Yeah. I could have been a merman!

And I could have been Trixie Wilkins,

Trixie, fine like lemon-lime
in the summertime, Wilkins. Hoo-hoo!

Know what, guys? It's nice to know
some things never change.

Hey, there.
Got some dragons that need slayin'?

No? Okay, forget dragons.

Got weeds in your garden?
We'll slay those suckers into submission.

We'll be all... (GRUNTING)
"You're going down, weeds."

And they'll be all, like,
"No. Spare us, number 88 and 89."

Or, "Hey, watch us slay the dance floor."
Check out these moves.

Yeah. Look, y'all. We working it.

-Jazz hands, jazz hands.
-(WATER SPLASHING)

You know, maybe getting sucked into
a vortex wouldn't have been so bad.

89: I wonder if there's pretty girls
and video games in the vortex.

88: You had to bring up the bylaws,
didn't you?
