Donkey Kong Country (1997–2000): Season 1, Episode 21 - To the Moon, Baboon - full transcript

Donkey Kong comes up with an amazing way to carve a place in history for Kongo Bongo: to send a time capsule to the moon filled with all sorts of artifacts from everyone who lives there so that future generations can see what kind of island it really was! But there's just one problem. Well;two actually. The first problem is that Bluster is put in charge of the mission (after all;he is the only one with an actual rocket!). The second problem is that DK cannot think of anything really important to put in the capsule! All of his ideas pale in comparison to everyone else's. Banana's don't seem valuable enough (and they rot!);clothing is too insignificant... But in DK's haste to find something more important than Bluster's contributions;he may just throw in the most important thing of all!

DIDDY KONG:
What"s it look like?

Can you see the craters?

Huh, huh, can you?

DK: Lemme see, lemme see!

CRANKY: Will you two

numbskulls give me
some elbow room?

Hey, do you see any little

green monkey men?



Do ya?

Huh, huh, do ya?

And bananas?

Do they have bananas?

Just like in that movie: Maniac

I know a couple of maniac

monkeys,
but they ain"t on the moon.

It"s about these monkeys who

go to the moon to
look for signs of life.

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, and

they come across this time

capsule that was sent there from

their own planet.

And when they open it up, guess

what they find?

I don"t know, but I've got a

painful feeling
you"re gonna tell me.

They find all these really

complicated
drawings of machinery.

BOTH: But it"s not machinery!

It"s pictures of them,

because they"re not really

monkeys, they"re robots.

It freaks them out so much

they go berserk and turn into...

BOTH: Maniac
monkeys on the moon!

I"ll ship you two off to the

moon if you don"t shut your

banana holes and
give me some space!

Ah.

The moon is such
a beautiful sight.

I wonder what Kongo Bongo

looks like from the moon.

Hmm, a big soccer ball with

little things running
around on it.

Wouldn"t it be cool if we

could take a picture of

ourselves and
send it to the moon?

What a great idea.

Yeah.

What?

A Kongo Bongo time capsule.

A historic collection of

Kongo Bongo artefacts that can

enlighten future generations.

Wow, that is a great idea.

Good thing I thought of it.

We"ve told Funky and Dixie.

The only one left is...

Wait, I bet you"ve got

something to tell me.

Hey, Candy.

Going already?

Uh-huh, Bluster gave me the

afternoon off, so I can go find

a donation for the time capsule.

How do you know?

Because Cranky put me in charge.

BOTH: What?

That"s right, I'm the boss.

Cranky says so.

It finally happened,
DK, Cranky snapped.

On the contrary, it"s the

smartest thing
Cranky has ever done.

After all,
I run a big business, don"t I?

And I volunteered my facilities

and transportation for free.

For free?

That"s right.

It"s my contribution to the

Kongo Bongo time capsule.

I can"t wait to see what you're

contributing.

I need a good laugh.

Yeah, well, the laugh will be

on you when you
see my contribution.

It"s big and
important and it"s...

it "s... Yes, yes, I" m sure.

In any case, don"t dawdle.

I"m the boss and I say

lift-off"s at sundown.

No exceptions.

Come on, Diddy, let"s go find

something big and important.

Hmm.

The nerve!

It"s an outrage.

How can those Neanderthal apes

embark on such a monumental,

historical event
and not invite me?

Please, your highness,

please,
give me my dentures back.

I can"t eat nothin'
but mashed insects.

I"m withering away.

Don"t bother me now!

The moon can"t wait.

[Tires squealing]

They can"t exclude me.

In all of Kongo Bongo Island,

I"m the sole perpetrator of

malice and evil.

I"m the... Out cold.

Wake up, King K. Rool.

Wake!

Where am I?

Why does my face hurt?

The moon, sir.

You were rantin" and ravin'

about those monkeys sending that

time capsule rocket to the moon.

Well, I won"t stand for it.

I know just what to do.

[Snickering]

Blow their rocket ship from

here to Kalamazoo?

No, you half-wits!

I don"t want to destroy history.

I want to be part of it!

Search the vault!

Find me one of my diabolical

devices that demonstrates the

epitome of my evil genius.

I"m going to make my own

contribution to
their time capsule.

[Snickering]

What streamlining.

What aerodynamic lines.

You can tell at a glance it"s a

Bluster design.

So... [Suppressing laughter]

Just what are future generations

going to do with those?

Work out.

This is a historic
event not a garage sale.

You"re supposed to pick

something worthy of
Kongo Bongo"s culture.

Ha-ha-ha, I really had you

goin" there, didn't I, Bluster?

You thought I was serious.

[Laughing]

Who"d donate a pair of dumb ol'

waste of something so historic?

Not me, no, not when I"ve got

something really
important to offer.

My tie.

I"m hardly surprised.

You have nothing to offer future

generations.

I do so.

I have something so great, so

historic,
it"ll make your eyes fall out.

I just have to
find out what it is.

[DK groaning]

DK: Well, I don"t know.

Well, this is... [Rattling]

[Whirring]

I don"t... huh?

Hey, cool cat, like,
dig my new skins.

Ba-ba-boon!

Wow, that"s great, little buddy.

Did you make it yourself?

Yep, it"s my contribution to

the Kongo Bongo time capsule.

When future generations learn

about our musical culture,

they"ll know that we apes could

hip hop the hippy, hippy hop,

bebop and you don"t stop.

Like you know what I"m sayin',
Daddy-o.

Nope, no idea.

But whatever it is, I wish I

could think of
something that great.

It"s easy.

Kongo Bongo.

Whatcha love most about Kongo Bongo,
baby?

The banana trees swaying in

the tropical breeze?

As an ageing simian snores, oh,

man,
Cranky knows all the island lore.

Bananas, ba-na-nas.

Oh, those mellow yellows.

Sun, hot, burnin" rays, waves,

lazy days, funky, surfin",

hangin" 10, 11 different ways.

So what do you love most?

What do I love most?

Yeah, the most, like banana

roast on toast by the
Kongo Bongo coast.

Lunch with Candy
on a sandy beach.

Swingin" tree to tree, vine to

vine passin" time.

So what do you love the most?

What do I love the most?

Uh-huh.

That"s it!

Of course!

Oh, look, it"s Donkey Kong,

this year"s poster
boy for lame ideas.

What have you got now,
a thimble?

A brick?

Nope, this time I"ve got

something really special.

In fact, it"s what I love most

about Kongo Bongo.

A big, plump, juicy banana.

A measly banana?

Come on, even you can"t have

ideas that stupid.

Yes, I can.

In fact,
I have a whole bunch of them.

Of all the stupid ideas.

They"ll rot and turn to mush

just like your brain has.

DIXIE AND CANDY: Hi, guys.

Hello, Dixie, Candy.

Hiya, girls.

We brought our contributions

to the time capsule.

What"s that, Donkey Kong?

Bananas.

Have you ever witnessed such

a bonehead idea?

[Suppressing laughter]

Send a big, rotting, oozy pile

of banana mush to the moon.

For your information,

Bluster, I think DK"s sending

something that means so much to

him personally is a lovely idea.

You do?

Yeah.

Yes, well, I should"ve known.

You two always run to
Dodo Kong"s defence.

Perhaps we should take a look

and see what"s so great about

what you brought?

So you can make fun of us, too?

I don"t remember Cranky naming

you inspector of donations.

Touch those parcels and

you"ll have to open
your shirt to eat.

Give him your bananas,
Donkey Kong.

Come on, Dixie.

Not a one.

I refuse to stink up
my rocket with them.

What I say goes and I say those

bananas don"t go.

I"ve about had all I can take.

This whole thing was my idea!

My board"s going to the moon.

Wow, Funky.

You"re donating your

prize-winning surfboard to the

time capsule?

You know it, Diddy, dude.

My only regret is that I"m not

riding it to the
lunar land myself.

[Sighing]

That"s pretty special, Funky.

Not as cosmic as your bananas,
Donkey dude.

It"s those golden plantains that

give you the cosmic energy to

keep those gators hoppin" and

Kong Bongo Island free.

Funky"s right, DK.

Without your Banana slamma

energy to protect The Crystal

Coconut, we"d all be taking

turns as King K. Rool"s doormat.

Well, if my bananas are as

important as all that, Cranky

should"ve chosen me to run this.

Not Bluster.

[Giggling]

Now where is it?

I know it"s in here somewhere.

[Knocking]

No one"s home.

Okay.

Then no one"s the
one I want to see.

Cranky, I"ve got to talk to you.

Well,
you"ve picked the right moment.

Listen, I"m... No,
you listen to me this

time.

The time capsule was my idea, so

why does Bluster
get to run the show?

Do you have a rocket ship or

barrels to send to the moon?

No.

Ah-ha!

Come on, help me hook this up.

A film projector?

CRANKY: Yeah, yeah, but

that"s not what this is about.

There, switch it on.



[All laughing]



Ooh, ooh, just like TV.

Yeah,
but I can still feel the bumps.



[All laughing]

CRANKY: I"m gonna put this

movie in the capsule.

[Laughing]

K. Rool is gonna make a donation

without even knowing it!

[Laughing]

Oh, good one, Cranky.

Future generations will come to

know him as King Clown.

[Laughing]

Keep an eye on The Crystal

Coconut, Donkey Kong.

I"ve got to get
this film to Bluster.

There"s got to be something

you could offer.

Something really special.

Yeah, but what?

[Whirring]

DIDDY KONG: Something

distinctive,
something really significant.

Yeah, something only the

future ruler of Kongo
Bongo could give.

[Cheering]

Huh?

That"s it.

I"ve got it.

Diddy!

Uh, what?

Why don"t you go give your

drums to Bluster?

There isn"t much
time left till blast off.

Okay, sure thing.

See you later.



I"m sick, I'm depressed.

I feel awful.

I can"t do anything
with no fangs.

Where did K. Rool
hide my dentures?

Stand down, soldier.

We"re on official business.

[Tires squealing]

KLUMP: Yes, sir, King K.

Rool, sir.

Oh, it was great.

It was like we
were on television.

Oh, you"re very photogenic, sir.

Especially in the scene where

you stretch out like a bungee

cord after getting ejected from

the foot bridge.

Not the foot bridge fiasco.

Oh, yes, sir.

All your venomous inventions and

other feats of war are being

expedited to the moon.

Ooh, ooh,
every one of your failed plans.

Your bungee barrel.

Candy clone.

K. ROOL: Shut up!

Don"t you morons even realize?

I"ll be King Fool to future

generations thanks
to Cranky and that film.

It"s an outrage, a catastrophe.

Blow that spaceship up!

Ah, it won"t be long now

before the name of Bluster goes

down in history.

And the name of Donkey Kong.

When you didn"t come by with

Cranky and Diddy, I thought

you"d given up.

No way.

And this is a donation
you can"t refuse.

Is that so?

Why?

Because I"m not
gonna show it to you.

I"ll put it in myself.

[Buzzing]

[Gasping]

What are you doing here?

Why,
we"ve come to blow up your spaceship.

Thanks for askin".

You can"t do that.

You don"t have the right.

But we got the bombs.

Mommy.

Okay, Krusha,
on the count of three.

One... And two... And?

Run for our lives!

[Bombs exploding]

Oh, oh.

[Screaming]

Hey, DK, we"re back!

Are you gonna tell us what your

great idea is?

That numbskull.

He"s supposed to
be watching the...

[Gasping]

The Crystal Coconut!

It"s gone!

Who could"ve taken it?

Oh, no.

DK!

DK?

Yes, he said he found

something perfect to put in the

time capsule.

Oh!

He must"ve been talking about

The Crystal Coconut.

Of all the dim-witted,

scatterbrained, crazy things DK

has ever done,
this is the limit!

[Both grunting]

K. Rool, K. Rool,
I brought you a present.

Donkey Kong!

What are you doing... [Growling]

I"m warnin' you.

I better not catch you messin"

with the time capsule.

"Cause it was my idea and it's

going to the moon.

It"s so good to have them back.

To the launch site.

[Both moaning]

Should we go after them?

Not me.

I"m stayin' here
where it"s safe.

[Tires squealing]



[Tires squealing]

[Tires squealing]

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Oh.

Oh.

[Beeping]

Six... five... Hold everything!

Meet Junior... ALL:
The Giant Klaptrap?

Stop K. Rool!

The Crystal Coconut
is in that rocket.

What?

Don"t eat, Junior!

Don"t eat!

Quick, barrels, more barrels.

Wood is his favourite dish.

My barrels!

Who"s going to pay for them?

Good boy!

DK, no!



Why on Earth did you put

The Crystal Coconut
on the rocket ship?

Oh, how will I ever become

dictator now without it?

I didn"t put it there, you twit.

Then who did?

I should have guessed.

You Neanderthal numbskull!

DK!

What were you thinking?

Have you lost your mind?

ALL: Why did you put
it in the rocket ship?

I thought it was a good idea.

Putting The Crystal Coconut

on a rocket ship and blasting it

to the moon is a good idea?

Are you crazy, Cranky?

That"s a bad idea.

You didn"t put it on there,
did you?

No, DK, you did!

No, I didn"t.

I hid it somewhere for

safekeeping while I went off to

write my song.

Your song?

You mean it wasn"t
aboard the rocket ship?

No, why would I send

The Crystal Coconut to the moon?

It wasn"t in there?

You idiot!

You moron!

Thanks to you my greatest

failures are up
there for all time.

For starters, those dentures are

confiscated.

[Sobbing]

So you wrote a song?

Inspired by The Crystal

Coconut and now sitting on the

moon for future generations.

Huh?

Must be some song, DK.

It is, Diddy.
