CANDY: Bluster, you think

you"d know the way back to your

own factory by now.

I guess I"m just a bit

distracted by my navigator.

Bluster, you know that I"m

Donkey Kong"s girl.

You also know that one day,

Donkey Kong is going to...



Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong!

What"s he got that I don't?

I"ve got a barrel factory, I've

got a, uh, barrel factory.

Bluster!

Whoa!

DIDDY: You missed a major slam dunk,
Candy!

Just when King K. Rool was going

to put the grab on the Crystal

Coconut, DK grabbed him,

scrunched him up into a little

bowling ball, and used him to

knock Klump and Crusher right

out of the game!

Pow!

Of course, I helped too.

We came to ask you if you

wanted to come on a picnic.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

A banana picnic!

Love to.

And your timing is perfect.

It"s my lunch break.

See you, Bluster.

Ha!

That stupid Crystal Coconut

may have said that Donkey Kong

was going to be the king of

Kongo Bongo, but it never said

anything about Candy
being the queen.

I wish I had a chance to ask

that coconut a thing or two.

Hey, wait a minute.

If the Crystal Coconut is as

wise as I think it is, it could

show me a way to
get Candy to love me!

Your display of cowardice

today was earth-shaking.

Well, that"s high praise

indeed, coming from you, King K.

Rool, sir.

This last defeat by Donkey

Kong was not only damaging, but

humiliating.

When was the last time either of

you were used as a bowling ball?

Well, um... Oh,
don"t bother to think.

I would prefer you use your

thick heads to figure out a way

to get me that Crystal Coconut!

Now!

Yes, sir!

Right away, sir.

And don"t you dare
come back until you do!

[Whistling]

Hmm, what does that blow-hard

Bluster want from me?

Well?!

I came here to talk, Cranky.

Isn"t that what friends are for?

Yes, you"re right.

That is what friends are for,

but that still doesn"t explain

why you"re here.

Please, you know how I feel

about Candy, right?

More importantly, I know how

she feels about you.

That doesn"t change my

concern for Candy"s well-being.

Huh?

She went on a picnic with

Donkey Kong, to Orchid Valley!

Did you say "Orchid Valley"?

It"s a bad place, isn't it?

You bet your barrels it"s bad.

Those orchids are deadly

poisonous this time of year.

Really?

Someone"s got to warn them.

I"m terribly
allergic to orchids.

So you suppose you think I

should go after them, huh?

And just leave you here all

alone with the coconut?

I sneeze till it hurts!

Oh, fine.

I"m only doing this 'cause I got

no choice.

Bluster, don"t let anyone near

the Crystal Coconut.

Oh, you can count on me, Cranky.

I won"t let anyone near it.

Of course, I"m not just anyone.

[Laughing]

Now, how do I get you to tell me

how to get Candy to love me?

I think it"s trying to
tell me something.

A beaker,
a heart and a number 9.

Hmm.

A love potion?

And this must be the formula.

Root, berry, flower, bee.

Interesting, very interesting.

Wait till King K.
Rool hears about this.

About what?

The Crystal Coconut is

telling that wimp Bluster how to

make a love potion.

How can you see all that?

It"s all in the touch.

I can"t see a thing.

Sometimes I think if you had

a brain, you"d be dangerous.

Let me try yours.

Whoa!

[Crashing]

CANDY: Mm, this picnic idea

of yours was perfect,
Donkey Kong.

Gee, thanks, Candy.

Do I know what my
girl likes or what?

If I have to save that ape"s

bacon one more time...

That sounded like Cranky.

"Cranky, figure this out."

"Cranky, what does this mean?"

ALL: Hey, Cranky!

Huh?

What?

What the...?

What in blazing bananas
are you doing here?

Having a picnic.

You"re supposed to be in the

Orchid Valley.

Why would we go there, Cranky?

Everyone knows that it"s really

poisonous at this time of year.

Well, I know that,
but... Bluster!

Bluster?

That slick-haired chimp lied!

He must be up to something.

We"d better get
back to the tree house.

I"ll check the factory.

And we"ll meet in the middle.

Two banana roots, three bees.

Ah!

You gave me such a shock.

[Incoherent gasping dialogue]

What he"s trying to say is,

uh, "Forget that,
you overgrown primate."

[Gasping and panting]

Uh, "What"s going on?"

What"s going on, indeed.

[Gasping]

"You tell me.

Donkey Kong and Candy were never

headed to Orchid
Valley and you know it!"

I could"ve sworn that's where

they said they were going.

The coconut!

Well, it"s still here, Cranky.

True.

But I don"t trust
that snaky simian.

[Whistling]

Finally, a love potion,
and it"s mine!

All mine, mine, mine.

A love potion: perfect.

Exactly what I need.

I didn"t know you had a

sweetie pie, K. Rool, sir.

I do.

[Laughing]

The Crustal Coconut.

Mm, coconut pie.

Yum.

I like coconut.

There, now all I have to do

is use this sprayer full of love

potion on Candy
and begin my new life.

[Feminine voice]: Ooh, Blusty!

Can I come in?

Candy?

Just a minute.

I"ve got a big surprise for you.

Ah!

You gave me such a shock.

Not much compared to what

you"re about to get!

Crusher!

Ah!

Now, let"s see.

How shall I determine if his

love potion really works?

[Coughing]

Well, Klump, how are you?

Filled with joy and rapture

at the very sight of your

loveliness, my liege.

Ten out of ten.

I pledge my endless love and

devotion to you, sir.

At ease, general!

Oh, call me Klumpy.

For I love you,
King K. Rool, sir.

In the way that only a gator

could love a croc.

Crusher!

There you go, nice and cozy.

Help!

Deal with this, Crusher.

Love hurts.

With the help of this potion,

Crusher, the Crystal Coconut

will soon be mine.

[Candy humming]

Hurry!

Hide!

But my hide is not furry.

Not that "hide",
you knucklehead.

This hide!

[Humming]

Why, hello there, my big

strong croco-delicious
kingy-wingy.

What are you doing
out here in the dark?

I was about to ask,
your place or mine?

Mine, of course.

Have you ever tasted fresh,

royal Kongolian caviar, washed

down with a nice
red bongo pucciano?

Sounds yummy, kingy!

K. ROOL: Tonight,
you shall be a royal.

I"m sure that Bluster was up

to some monkey business with the

crystal, but what?

Why don"t you just ask it?

Good idea, Donkey Kong.

Did that blowhard Bluster ask

you for something?

Heart, flowers,
bees... A love potion!

BOTH: A love potion!

What would Bluster want with

a... Love potion!

Bluster!

Aside from loving you, I

adore what you"ve
done with your lair.

A girl could get used to this.

All I remember is King K.

Rool spraying me
with that love potion.

Next thing I know, I wake up

with a sore head.

You, uh, fell down.

Boy, that must"ve been one

heck of a flight of stairs.

Well, general, it appears

that the potion has worn off.

It obviously has
a time limit to it.

Candy, my pet.

Yes?

Would you like to do your

kingy-wingy a
little favour-waver?

Anything for you, lover boy.

Excellent.

How long do you think it would

take you to get over to Cranky"s

and get me that silly
old Crystal Coconut?

Be back before your
heart aches for me.

Could you be a
little more specific?

22 minutes?

Let"s see, I sprayed Klump...

Carry the two.

Minus the hour, that...

The timing should
work perfectly!

Please, run along and get me

that kooky-wooky coconut,
all right?

Back in a couple of shakes,
King K. Cutie.

Oh, my but there"s a lot of

love in the room.

Bluster, where are you?!

In here.

You try and steal my

girlfriend, and you"re going to

answer to me.

Now, what makes you think I

would do a thing like that?

Spill, Bluster, what have you

done with my Candy?

Nothing.

But I did overhear King K. Rool

mention her name.

King K. Rool?

Hey, wait for me!

But what about me?

Let me out!

Ow!

You go get Cranky and tell

him what"s going on.

And what about you?

I"m going to King K. Rool's

to rescue Candy.

"I" m going to King K. Rool's

to rescue Candy."

I will save Candy.

And with the help of my love

potion,
I will finally get the girl.

[Knocking on door]

Hey, there, Candy.

What are you doing here?

Oh,
just dropping in to say hello.

You okay?

Of course I"m okay.

Why?

Well, we found out about

Bluster"s love potion.

Now,
where did I put my tennis racket?

You think I love Bluster?

Now, that"s funny.

I did think it was
kind of funny myself.

I don"t love Bluster,
I love King K. Rool!

What are you doing?

Get me out of here!

Hi, Candy,
where are you going with the...

Hi, bye.

Coconut?

Get me out of here!

Do you realise how long I"ve

been waiting for this moment?

About as long as I have, K.

Rool.

BOTH: Donkey Kong?

Banana slamma!

I"m crazy for you,
you big, fat king, you.

Your wish is my command.

Oh, I"m overwrought.

I finally have the Crystal

Coconut and there"s
a cherry on top!

[Laughing]

Donkey Kong is at my feet!

Oh, someone take a picture.

I"ve dreamt about this moment

for such a long time.

♪ Donkey Kong at my feet

and the crystal is mine ♪

♪ How sublime

♪ Everything I"ve ever wanted

but been tragically denied ♪

♪ Oh,
this feeling"s overwhelming ♪

♪ So much joy I cannot
hide ♪ Got a notion

about this potion ♪

♪ All the love
and the devotion ♪

♪ I"ve got the coconut

and it"s causing a commotion ♪

♪ Proclaim it from
the highest peaks ♪

♪ And shout it from the ocean

♪ I"ve got it all ♪

[Coughing]

♪ I have never been so happy ♪

♪ Oh,
I feel I"ve been reformed ♪

♪ Dress me up in regal colours

blow the bugle, sound the horn ♪

♪ Got a notion
about this potion ♪

♪ All the love
and the devotion ♪

♪ I"ve got the coconut

and it"s causing a commotion ♪

♪ Proclaim it from
the highest peaks ♪

♪ And shout over the ocean

♪ I"ve got it all ♪

The trouble with that love

potion is it doesn"t
last indefinitely.

It wears off?

Yeah,
and that"s not the least of it.

Turns out a second
does makes you...

Two-timing creep of a croc.

You mean it, Cranky?

The second dose causes a

complete turnaround?

Yep,
sort of scrambles the emotions.

Every dose is different.

Love becomes hate
and hate becomes love.

Whoa!

Reason being, there was only

a thin line between
love and hate.

Busting banana barrels.

You creeps!

You"re all the same!

Any last words
before I... [Coughing]

Before I give you the biggest

kiss of your life?

[Coughing]

You"re nothing but a

low-down,
good for nothing tyrant.

A bully with a huge
butt and stinky breath!

Oh, no!

A-ha!

No one steals my girlfriend!

Take this, all of you.

I"ll take that.

Oh,
you hunka-hunka burning king.

You hunka-hunka
burning... My hero.

[Laughing]

Do something!

I thought we"d start with a

nice dinner, some Chianti.

Then... Then I"ll
wring your scaly neck.

Give me that!

Have I told you that you have

the cutest bloodshot eyes?

Oh, shut up and get Donkey Kong.

Anything for you, sugar.

Bite that swamp rat!

I could stare at you all day.

Hurry up, will you?!

Uh-oh.

Help!

Crusher!

BOTH: Phew!

You are the wind
beneath my wings.

We love you to bits, sir.

Help!

[Laughing]

Well,
that"s the last of that potion.

I"m not so sure of that.

Look.

I"ll get Candy yet, Donkey Kong.

Maybe sooner than you think.

Hey, Candy!

Huh?

Special delivery for Bluster.

Ouch!

[Laughing]

Oh, no.

Well, hello, there.

Kongo Bongo can rest a little

easier tonight, knowing that the

Crystal Coconut is
back where it should be.

You can say that again.

I"m just glad we've seen the

last of that love potion.

That stuff was powerful.

It sure was.

Anything that is powerful enough

to get someone to love King K.

Rool should be
locked up forever.

Don"t worry, Donkey Kong, you

know I"ll always be your girl.

Now, don"t start getting all

sappy in there.

I think there"s enough love

around here as it is.

Huh?

Come out here.

Ooh, you look marvellous, you

simian specimen.

What"s your sign?

Hey, beautiful, what are you

doing the rest of your life?

I hear wedding bells.
