Dwight in Shining Armor (2018–2021): Season 3, Episode 7 - A Bone To Pick - full transcript



Hexela: The evil that was buried
here long ago is unearthed.

It rises.

It gathers strength.

Mr. Dale: I have to get home.

It's almost dark.

And I, I have no idea
what happens when it 's dark.

- Uh-huh.

Mr. Dale: We have tampered
with dark forces

that will be our undoing.

We dig here.



Zeke: Dwight, Gretta.

The three of us are teaming up
on a new lead.

- Bring it.

- Mysterious holes are turning
up all over Woodside.



Zeke: Approximately
four feet by four feet.

Dwight: So weird.

- That makes seventy-two.

- Seventy-two?

- This is no
isolated incident.

No random act of hooliganism.

- Great word.

Gretta: You suspect
some sinister plot.

- Hooliganism.



Bud, are you so stoked you just
worked that into a sentence?

- Look, seventy-two holes

dug in and around Woodside
in the last three months.

And those are just the ones

that have been found
and reported.

Gretta: This bodes ill.

Dwight: Right in the middle
of a very nice lawn.

- Huh, dug by hand.

With a shovel.

Two shovels, by the look of it.

See, two distinct
shovel patterns

means two culprits.

Baldric: Highness.

Hexela: What have we here?

Dwight: Big hole in the ground

dug by two dudes
with two shovels two nights ago.

- One of many such holes.

Baldric: Sir Dwight, a moment
of private conversation,

if you please.

Gretta: The evil
that is buried here rises.

Dwight: Are we taking that
literally?

Hexela: It was foolish to think

that this ground could hold
a Tovenaar forever.

Dwight: Wait.

So, what are we saying?

Gretta: We have grave suspicion.

Baldric: Perhaps there's
some harmless explanation.

Hexela: Like what?

- Well, we ruled out
hooliganism.

Hexela: I fear the worst.

- What exactly is the worst?

- Someone is unearthing
the Tovenaar's bones.

- Ah, geez.

Gretta: And when they assemble
them all...

- Don't say it.

- The Tovenaar will rise.

- Okay.

Guys.

- Whaddaya got there?

Dwight: Oh!

Uh, nothing.

No, no, it's--
I-- I just dropped my pin.

- W.R.?

Dwight: Wally...

Rowbothom.

My uncle.

My great uncle Wally.

He, um, he passed away
last year.

- Oh.

- [clears throat]

I, uh, I have what I need here.

Just got a report
of another hole

by Woodside Lake.

Dwight: We will, uh,
catch up with you later.

Okay?

Baldric: My condolences,
Sir Dwight.

Gretta: Were you close
to your Uncle Wally?

Hexela: What killed him?

- Guys, I-- I made him up.

Hexela: Hm?

Dwight: 'Cause I just found
the first lead in this case.

You know what that stands for?

- Wally Rowbothom.

- May he rest in peace.

- Dead Uncle Wally
cannot help us now.

- He's not dead.

Gretta: Oh! Thank heavens!
Hexela: Oh!

Baldric: Oh! A miracle!

Hexela: We must find
the Tovenaar bones

before the skeleton is complete.

- Great.

You two do that,

Gretta and I will follow up
on this.

Gretta: What?

Dwight: It'll make sense
once we get there.

[bike chain clicking]

Baldric: Whoever
is behind this--

Hexela: We know who.

Baldric: He must be stopped.



Dwight: Okay,
so about a thousand years ago,

there was this princess, Gretta,

and she was in big trouble
because she had lots of enemies

and not a lot of friends.

So, her court magician, Baldric,
cast the champion spell.

It put everyone in the woods
to sleep

until a champion would come,
break the spell with his kiss,

and deal with Gretta's big,
scary enemies.

But that guy never showed up.

Instead--

Aaahhh!

[kiss]

--they got me.

Aahh!



Ow!





[raven ruffling feathers]

[bike chain clicking]

Gretta: [sighs] Is this
Uncle Wally's house?

[door bursts open]

- Mr. Dale?

[raven cawing]

Mr. Dale: Ha!

There.

It thought it could hide.

[raven cawing]

Dwight: What-- Mr. Dale,
does this belong to you?

- What?

Yes, that's mine.

Gretta: Explain yourself, sir.

Dwight: Wh-- What she means
is do you know anything

about a big hole
in somebody's lawn

out on Oak Street?

Gretta: Or any
of the other holes

that have appeared
here recently?

- Holes?

Gretta: He has a guilty face.

Dwight: He does not.

Oh, wow, yeah, he's guilty.

- Get inside.

[raven cawing]

Hurry!

[raven cawing]

[door closes]

Mr. Dale: I've been
digging holes.

That explains it.

Dwight: It does?

Gretta: So, it was you?

Mr. Dale: It must have been.

[raven cawing]

Gretta: And what
of your cohort?

- My what?

Gretta: Two shovels
means two culprits.

- Listen to me.

I don't know what I do at night.

From sundown to sunrise, it--

it's, uh, blank.

- Well, how long
has this been going on?

Mr. Dale: Months.

I come to at sunup,
usually covered in dirt.

- Any idea why?

- I know why.

I'm cursed.

Whatever was in that box...

- What box?

Mr. Dale: The one I found
at the dig.

I brought it back to the office,

I opened it...

- What was in the box?

- I don't remember
anything else about that night.

Or any other night since.

Hexela: [sighs]

It's him, Baldric.

Sir Aldred.

- How do we find him?

Hexela: [sighs]
A safeguard spell.

Baldric: Hm?

Hexela: It was designed

to allow a witch to keep tabs
on a loved one.

- Loved one?

- Yes!

I can use it to find Sir Aldred.

[pages ruffling]

- You can?

- Ah! Here it is.

I'll need a scarf
and a large bowl.

Baldric: What exactly is there
between you and Sir Aldred?

- Oh!

Pppfffftt.

[laughing] Not a thing!

[Hexela snorts]

"Fill the bowl with water

while recalling a favorite
memory of your loved one."

Hm.

Okay, let's see here.

[water pouring]

Oh!

[laughing quietly]

Awww.

Aww.

Ah, ah.

Next step.

"Place in the water something
your loved one gave you."

[gasps] Ah!

Baldric: You're wear--

- I don't even like them.

[plink]

Dwight: So, you wake up
every morning

covered in dirt.

- Usually with a shovel.

[door opens]

[shovels clatter
to the floor]

Mr. Dale: See?

Oh, wait.

I found something this morning
in my pocket.

Dwight: Any idea
where this came from?

Gretta: Two hundred and five.

- It came from there.

[ominous music]

[indistinct chatter]

Dwight: We should not
be in here.

- I see no sign
of Hellibad.

- Dude sees us,

we're going to be
singing the news

and mopping the floors
for the rest of our lives.

Thug: Hey, mate.

Where you been hiding out?

- Me?

Thug: Ah, hey,
pint for my friend.

- Your usual?

[clinking]

Dwight: You come here a lot?

- I, uh...

Jacopo: Ah, sig-- signore!

Signore!

Ah!

Your favorite table is ready.

[signals loudly to workers]

Woman: Ahh!

Jacopo: Not a problem, sir.

It's perfect--

Principessa.

Champion boy.

You are with him?

He is with you?

You are all together
with each other?

Mr. Dale: Oh, well, uh, yeah.

A table for three, please.

- Certamente.

[claps hands]

[thud]

[patrons laugh]

- Come this way.

Yes.

Follow me.

This table has been empty
all night.

No, not for you.

Hold on there.

Dwight: Jacopo!

Wow, look at you,
moving up to management.

Jacopo: Si.

I have been most fortunate.

I am deeply grateful.

- Have you seen Hellibad
anywhere about?

Hellibad the Parrot:
[squawks loudly]

Tabs are due, tabs are due.

[squawks]

Jacopo: Signore Hellibad
has gone away.

- He has?

- Yes.

He grew tired of the tavern life
and met a woman,

large and beautiful,

a shoemaker
with a shop far away.

And he has gone there
to marry her

and make shoes and babies
and live happily forevermore.

- Okay, good for him.

- I am now the keeper
of this tavern.

Man: Your Pineapple Shasta,
good sir.

Jacopo: Go! Get--go!

Your dinner is being prepared,
signore,

exactly as you like it.

And for the honored guests.

- Oh, just water for me.

- The very same.

- Immediatamente.

[thud, thud]

- Looks like "nighttime you"

comes here a lot.

Gretta: And commands
great respect.

- I don't remember

ever setting foot
in this place before.

- Well, you don't remember

digging 73 holes
all over Woodside either.

- [sighs] That many?

- Probably more.

- Your pastry,
stuffed with succulent herring

and drizzled liberally
with the apricot sauce

you so much enjoy.

Buon appetito.

Yes, please enjoy.

- Look at its little eyeballs.

- [groans]

I'm gonna be sick.

Gretta: Not on the pie.

Baldric: Are those diamonds
real?

- It's hard to say.

Let's move on, hm?

Okay, oh, "Whisper into the bowl

a secret your loved one
has confided in no one but you."

Hm.

Oh.

[whispering inaudibly]

Hm.

[whispering inaudibly]

[eating sounds]

- [slight gag]

- Mm.

[phone buzzing]

Dwight: Hey, Zeke.

- [with mouth full]
Hi, Zeke.

Dwight: Did you get the picture?

Zeke: Uh, dude,

I'm at the Lakeview Café.

This is nuts.

[laughter]

Gretta: [spits water out]

Dwight: Eww.

Gretta: Hide!

[poof]

[water dripping]

[snaps scarf]

Hexela: Read me the next step,
Baldric.

Baldric: "Once the blindfold
is secure,

[light clearing of throat]

hold something that belongs
to your loved one."

- Ah, yes.

Behind me to the right,
in the cabinet,

second drawer in the back.

Baldric: Hm.

[opens drawer]

- I see a quill,
a rat skin,

and a little heart-shaped box.

- The box.

[click]



- It's a sock.

- Yeah, that's it.

- W-Why do you have
Sir Aldred's sock?

- It's unimportant now, Baldric.

- In-- in a special heart box.

- Give me the sock, Baldric!

Baldric: There.

[grunts]

"Imagine the future
you will share

with your loved one."

- Now what?

Baldric: "Follow these steps
and you will see

"through the eyes
of your loved one

for exactly 30 beats
of your heart."



[whispering sounds]

- Is it working?

- Oh! Shh!

[ominous music]

[boots click on the floor]

[door squeaks open]

- Who is that guy?

Dwight: Sir Aldred.

Gretta: A Tovenaar.

Dwight: Which is like
a scary, undead, mega-wizard.

- You're kidding.

Dwight: I'm really not.

[intense music]

- I see...

[boots clicking]

[lock clicking]

[safe door swings open]

[creaking
and mechanical clicking]

[clanging]

[heart beating]

- [breathless]
Oh, Baldric!

[breathing heavily]

[indistinct chatter]

- He's gone below.

Let's after him!

Dwight: No, let's-- let's not.

The last time we went up
against this guy,

he almost killed us
with that Hopak dance.

- What!?

Dwight: The only reason
we're still alive

is 'cause he turned himself
into a puddle.

Tell you later.

[pulls sword out of sheath]

- We shan't
confront him openly.

- Darn right, we shan't.

- We shall use stealth

and learn what the villain
is about.

Surreptitiously.

- Wait.

What are we doing?

Dwight: We're gonna be
super sneaky

and spy on the guy
in the basement.



[footsteps]

[footsteps]

[footsteps]

- It's a cypher lock.

We're foiled.

Mr. Dale: What's a cypher lock?

- A lock
that may only be opened

by moving the various components
of the mechanism

in the correct order, direction,
and distance.

- I see the bad guys
put their logo on it.

- The emblem
of the Tovenaars.

[phone buzzing]

Dwight: Hey, Zeke.

- I'm looking
at another hole.

Woodside Park, uh,
next to the monkey bars.

- So weird.

Zeke: I'll text you pictures.

[camera shutter]

It-- it's getting dark out here.

Uh, I'm gonna have to come back.

Dwight: Dude,
can I call you back?

[crash]

Baldric: What did you see?

- The end of the world.

- [softly] Oh.

- He has the bones, Baldric.

Baldric: How many?

- All but one.

[keys jingle]

[turns key in lock]

[door creaks open]





Sir Aldred: The fourth
proximal phalanx.

- What?

- On your right foot.

- Just one little bone.

- [chuckles]

Did you know

that one in a thousand babies
is born with an extra toe?

Science is fascinating.

- [sighs]

What makes
this one different?

Sir Aldred: Ah,
it's the smallest

of the proximal phalanges.

One of the most commonly
broken bones in the foot.

Mr. Dale: [exasperated sigh]

I mean, why can't we find
the confounded thing?

- That's the obvious
question, Herfenfrefen.

And the answer is, as I fear,
as obvious.

- Not obvious to me.

Sir Aldred: The bone is secured
in some protected place.

Hexela: The bones are searching
for one another.

They long to be reunited.

Find one Tovenaar bone,
it will lead you to the rest.

Baldric: But inside that coffer
it is safe?

Hexela: As safe as any place
on earth.



Mr. Dale: Arrgghh!

Then we are undone!

[growling angrily]

[smack]

Oh-ho-ho!

[grunting in pain]

[growling angrily]

[smack]

Gah... gah...

- Why did you do that?

Twice?

- We'll never find it.

Sir Aldred: Fortune
favors the patient soul.

We're close.

Closer than ever.

First you, Herdenfluffer,
then we find all the rest.

Every one of our brothers.

Then I shall finally
have made amends.

- Come now, no one blames you

for the fall
of the brotherhood.

- I blame myself.



- Sir Aldred
will tear this village apart

to find that bone,

and if he finds it--

- One Tovenaar
is threat enough, but two is--

- Officially
a brotherhood.

And they won't stop there,
Baldric.

They will find every dark realm
on this earth.

If it takes them
a million years,

they will bring up the bones
of all the Tovenaars.

- The dark times return.

- We have to stop him.

To the Swine and Slosh Tavern.

- Wait, I must call
Her Highness

and let her know

there's a kidney pie
in the icebox

and not to wait supper for me.

[dialing]

[phone ringing]

[phone buzzing]

[phone buzzing]

Mr. Dale: Hm.

I propose we eat their brains
and innards.

- What?

- No?

Oh fine.

- Do you know who that is?

Gretta of the House
of Moondragon,

the last heir of Osric the Grim.

- And the boy?

Sir Aldred: I forget.

You know how bad I am
with names.

Dilbert?

Dwayne?

It doesn't matter.

These two are no threat to us.

They may yet be of some use.

[phone continues to buzz]
