Nexo Knights (2015–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Golden Castle - full transcript
Lance agrees to star in a movie about remake of a classic film in Knighton: "The Golden Castle." While pillaging a village, Jestro and the Book of Monsters see a movie poster for "The Golden Castle" and the book says the legendary Golden Castle is filled with riches! Jestro explains that it's just a dumb movie and that it's not real. The Book, who's been shelved for many years, wants to eat the movie script to learn more about the modern world. On the set of the movie, Lance has invited the other Knights to act as extras. When they see how Lance is being portrayed, they're incensed. When Jestro attacks the movie set to get the script for his book to eat, the film director keeps rolling. This battle footage is fantastic! The Knights defeat Jestro even though the movie set is trashed. The director will make it work. At the premier of the movie, Lance is embarrassed to see that he's been reduced to comic relief for the realm's bravest Knight...Macy! The director has now made her a star.
Here's the latest from
the Knighton News Network.
Jestro and the Book of Monsters
used the Book of Fear
to create fearsome monsters
like the horrible Whipperella,
who made each of the knights
face their darkest nightmares.
Except for Aaron, who just
happens to be fearless.
Aaron, Merlok 2.0,
and Nexo Power
came to the rescue.
I'm Herb Herbertson,
and this is Nexo Knights.

[LAUGHS]
AARON:
Yeah!
[GASPS]
Whoa!
[GRUNTS]
Whoo! Yeah!
Keep him occupied.
That would be easier
if I were a stack of pancakes.
Mmm, pancakes.
[PANTING]
Whoa!
What are you doing?
This isn't us training,
it's you running away.
[CELL PHONE RINGS]
Whoa!
[GRUNTS]
Time-out.
I call time-out.
[GRUNTING]
Well, Maynard? Any news?
And by that,
I mean good news.
Lance-aroonie, if it were bad
news I would never call.
Or answer your call,
for that matter.
But since I am,
you've got the part, baby.
[LAUGHS]
Yes! Oh, I so deserve it.
I mean, look at me.
Yes, you can hug me.
Hey!
Touch me, while you can.
I know you want to.
[GRUNTS]
What's going on?
Yeah I'm used to Lance being,
well, Lance,
but this is overly Lance-ish.
They even got
Jurgen von Stroheim to direct.
He loves the project and wanted
a new vacation castle.
Clear your schedule,
bubeleh.
Lance, what is this about?
Oh, nothing,
except for...
I'm going to be lead actor
in the new Golden Castle movie.
Whoa, epic!
I can't believe it.
I actually
don't believe it.
Merlok defeated Monstrux
in the original movie,
like in real history.
Who would you play?
[GASPS]
Oh, no.
Please don't tell me
that you,
the shallowest
knight ever,
is playing Ned Knightly,
the greatest knight
there ever was.
Of course not.
This film is a re-imagining.
An historical, art house,
sci-fi epic.
And even more great news:
you can all be in it.
As extras and bit players,
of course.
Nothing like my leading role,
but still...
Nice! I've always fancied
myself a thespian, you know.
Okay.
As long as it doesn't
interfere with our training.
It won't. I promise.
Macy?
I don't think so.
Aah! What do you mean?
You read all those
Golden Castle comics.
You aspire to all their
knightly virtues.
How could you not
be in it?
[SIGHS]
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
JESTRO: I love the smell of destruction
in the morning.
And lavender.
Lavender's nice too.
Ooh, burning lavender.
Even better.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, dummy.
Stop. I wanna see that.
The Golden Castle.
That brings me back
to the good old days.
It was the most
amazing place.
I heard that Monstrux
tried to take it,
but Merlok and his knights
stopped him.
That's a poster for
the remake of a famous movie
about the Golden Castle,
which will be awful.
Why Hollowood thinks more
explosions equals a better movie
is a mystery.
[ALL SCREAM]
[EXPLOSION]
I've been on the shelf
for a while, remember?
What's a movie?
It's like a play projected
on a screen.
They film it with actors
who read lines from a script.
So it's written down,
like a book?
And people got to say
whatever's in this script
to make the movie,
exactly?
Well, some actors think
they can say any old thing--
Always with terrible results,
but yeah.
Whoa. Such power.
We gotta get this script
so I can totally digest it.
It sounds magical.
JESTRO:
I'm sure the hack that wrote it
would tell you exactly that.
Trust me.
It'll be delicious.
And not only that, it'll teach
me about today's world.
Hmm.
They are filming
near Knightonia.
We could get you the script
and sneak-attack the castle.
An evil twofer
if there ever was one.
But just how are we gonna
be sneaky enough to do that?
Eh, no problem.
Summon Lavaria,
super spy.
Sneaky as all get out.
JESTRO:
Hmm.
What the heck.
Red rover, red rover
Send Lavaria over
Ah.
Nice to get out.
So you're Jestro.
The other monsters
talk about you all the time.
They say you're the most
powerful, evil,
and hilarious tyrant ever.
[GIBBERS]
She's one hot monster.
[GIGGLES]
[ROARS]
[GRUNTS]
Don't fret.
Whoa!
I, Lance Richmond,
greatest of all the knights
of the Golden Castle,
will save the day.
[LAUGHS]
Well met,
Sir Greatest-Of-All-Knights.
Uh, without Rance Lichmond--
Uh, Dance Lindstrom--
Uh, you.
--no saving the day today.
[SIGHS]
Yay, verily.
Thank Arthur Eaglewing
for you,
because I wanted
to run away.
Again.
Also, I wet
my knight suit.
Again.
[GASPS]
No, no, no.
Won't do it.
No.
Cut, cut, cut!
[BELL RINGS]
I am the great director
Jurgen von Stroheim,
and my talking props will not
speak as they please.
Read the words that my genius
has approved.
Never. I won't be a part
of this farce.
Wait, is it a farce?
No.
It's too bad
to be a farce.
Macy, please.
Don't do it for you.
Do it for me.
Ugh!
[SIGHS]
I swear,
if you weren't making
a big donation to the orphanage,
I wouldn't be here.
The script is terrible.
Knight suit?
Really?
I am Jurgen von Stroheim,
and I order you to get
the female knight character
back here.
I need her
to balance the cast.
[BELL RINGS]
[SIGHS]
That's lunch,
everyone!
Hey!
[LAUGHING]
Eighteen haggis balls,
19 haggis balls.
[WHEEZES]
Aah! Axl!
What are you wearing?
Part of my costume.
The director
added it.
It doesn't do anything.
Other than look silly.
Hmm.
You know, actually,
I could probably make this
a completely functional add-on
to your armor.
Uh, harden that.
Yeah, electrify the pneumatics.
Yup. I could tap off
the Nexo-power and--
But what would it
actually do?
Well, I could make it
hammer stuff with a force
of about a thousand pounds
per square inch.
Ooh. Really?
I do like to hammer.
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
[GRUNTS]
I'll have this thing fixed up
in a jiffy.
You know, back in the days
of the actual Golden Castle,
we didn't have
power-super-hammer armor.
We just had magic.
And knights.
Well, you can't live
in the past.
No, but I can visit.
Hmm.
[MACY GRUNTS]
MACY:
Playing knight.
Because I'm a princess
and not a real knight.
I'm playing knight.
[GRUNTS]
Whoa!
Excellent technique,
but you seem a little
upset today, Macy.
Something you'd like
to talk about?
MACY:
All of you are real knights,
and no one can ever
take that away from you.
Even Lance,
no matter what he does.
But I'll never be one.
Maybe I am just playing knight
after all.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES
AND VIBRATES]
The studios are lining up
with projects for you,
Lance-a-riffic.
How does Lanceformers sound?
You Lance-form into various
household appliances
and save the world.
Or Lance-vengers?
It's about a team of heroes
with cool powers,
but they're all clones
of you.
And Knightjago 3.
It's about a knight
who fights
by spinning around
or something.
They won't even make
the first two,
just go right to number three,
because sequels
are hot, hot, hot!
Where did you go?
I can't be without good news
for long.
You said
this movie thing
wouldn't interfere
with training.
Lance, the legend
of the Golden Castle
represents everything
I believe in.
Your movie has none of that.
You even convinced the director
to cut Merlok out of the script.
His hat distracts too much
from my amazing hair.
And you call that
a historical epic.
It's epic... an epic mess!
And all it does is remind me
I'll never be a real knight,
because my father
won't let me!
I know. Totally unfair.
Good thing that my father,
Cuthbert Richmond,
is your father's
childhood BFF.
I mean, he could try
and change his mind.
Might that be of interest to you
as payment for a movie role?
[SIGHS]
Fine.
I'll be in your stupid movie.
Attack them, you fools!
I'll destroy you all!
[CLEARS THROAT]
Attack them, you fools.
I'll des...
Uh, who-- Who are you?
You should be more concerned
with who I am, you hack.
[GRUNTS]
Eh, he wasn't half bad.
He didn't bring the gravitas
of the real Monstrux,
but whoever could?
I see someone right here
who can.
[MUMBLES]
There. Move me over there.
[CHOMPING]
Yes. Yes.
I got the power
of the movies in me.
Stand back!
[WHIMPERING]
[BOOK OF MONSTERS ROARS]
[BELCHES]
Sorry, I got nothing.
Seriously? All that shaking
and shuddering
and yelling “stand back”
for that?
How was I supposed to know some
extra's script had no power?
Hmm. I bet I need the script
of the person with the power
on this project.
I bet that'll do
the trick.
Uh, you mean the director?
JURGEN VON STROHEIM:
Cut, cut, cut!
Hmm.
Uh...
Robin, what are you doing?
Well, I decided, maybe all
the knights could use a boost.
Uh, you've got their armor
in pieces all over the place.
Yeah, well, it's gotten
a little bit more involved
than I first thought.
Oh, my, what a mess.
Ava, dear, I'm hungry.
Could you get me
some lunch?
You're a computer construct.
You don't eat any more.
Nevertheless
I'm starving.
Uh, can you code me up
a ham-and-cheese sandwich
on rye?
[SIGHS]
It was a tough battle,
but with my leadership,
skill, heart,
wisdom, and yes,
amazingly perfect hair,
we have won the day.
Oh, Lance Richmond,
you truly are the most
awesome knight in the history
of the Golden Castle.
I am so happy
to be in your presence
that I have wet
my knight suit.
Again.
[CHUCKLES]
In the history of the battle
against Monstrux
and his monsters,
I believe there is no foe,
be it giant monster
or evil horde,
that can stand
against we happy few,
we band of brothers.
[ALL CHEER]
Yay, verily.
But next time perhaps
I will make it an even match
and tie my arms and legs
to yon castle wall, over yon.
Jurgen, I'm not sure
this is working.
While the script
does concentrate on me,
does it concentrate
on me enough?
Lance, say the lines
so we can finish this
garbage barge of a movie.
ALL:
Yeah, come on.
You're all ingrates.
I'm the one who got you
in this movie.
I made that happen! Me!
Me. Me. Me.
I'm the star.
JURGEN VON STROHEIM:
Silence, thespian!
I have a schedule to keep!
Genius to put on film!
Why do I need actors
at all?
I hate them,
hate them, hate them!
It's like everyone in Hollowood
is a big baby.
Ha!
The director's
left the set.
I can't see
where he's going.
Hello?
Aah!
You are supposed
to be on the set,
you silly talking
costume racks.
Hey. The director.
And his script of power.
Hmm.
Hey! Hey!
Props did a fair job
for once.
The throat is
disgustingly mucousy.
And your breath
has a rank, eggy quality.
Personal space, here.
Personal space.
You are not needed.
I need a monster,
not some crazy half-jester.
You insult me?
I'll destroy you.
Pathetic.
I did not believe you were bad
for even a moment.
Then I'll make you
a believer.
Extras. You always
make me laugh,
because you're
so pathetic.
[LAUGHS]
Do you see?
I'm laughing at you.
[LAUGHING]
Laughing, laughing, laughing...
[ROARS]
I'm not laughing anymore.
[JURGEN VON STROHEIM SCREAMS]
[CHOMPING]
Ha! Got it.
Information about the world
is flooding my mind.
Oh, no.
Where's my bling?
I got no bling.
And I need to set up
a Book Face account.
How's anyone gonna know
how great I am
if I don't post a picture
of what I had for lunch?
[RUMBLING AND EXPLOSION]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[ALL SCREAM]
Whatever you're working on,
Robin, you better finish it.
Jestro is attacking
Hollowood.
Hmm.
[SCREAMING]
You will not laugh at me
and my evil power.
These monsters
are destroying my set.
My vision.
Yes, it's real
and really good.
So natural.
It's perfect.
[ROARS]
More. More destruction.
Yes, yes, good.
No. Jestro's going
to ruin my movie?
We have to stop him
from destroying my career.
We have to stop them
because they're monsters.
[♪♪♪]
Merlok: Nexo-Knight!
Clay, we're in our
stupid movie costumes.
We need our real
armor and weapons.
They're back at the Fortrex.
I'm on it.
[ROARS]
Axl, you're the only one
in your real armor.
You gotta hold them off
until we get a costume change.
Sure thing.
JURGEN VON STROHEIM:
Let your inner monsters out!
Set yourselves free!
[PANTING]
Thanks, Robin.
I gotta jam.
Whoa!
Robin, did you design
the Ultra Armor to work
with the Nexo-power signal
from Merlok?
Yup. It uses the circuits
already built into their armor.
Wonderful.
I don't really understand
any of it,
but I'm all for trying
new things.
[GRUNTING]
Keep filming. Keep filming.
[ALL SCREAM]
MACY: We better armor up
while Axl holds them off.
Wow, this script you ate
has created nothing
but a bunch of drama queens.
Hmm.
Get ready for Nexo Scan.
Huh?
[GRUNTS]
AXL:
Nice to see you guys.
Time to try out
this new Ultra Armor.
Ultra Armor?
Oh, yeah.
Robin added new power-ups
to our knights suits.
Call Merlok.
Merlok: Nexo-Knight.
[BEEPING]
MERLOK 2.0:
Nexo-Power!
Ultra Armor Activate!
MACY:
Charge!
How exactly
do these things work?
Whoa! Whoa! Hey!
Check it.
I've got an Arrow Storm.
Is this cool or what?
Whoo!
Yeah, well,
look at my Mace Blaster.
JESTRO:
We must fight.
They can take away our fire,
but they'll never take away
our freedom!
Wow. That's why you never
let actors go off-script.
[♪♪♪
[GRUNTS]
Sorry, hot stuff.
You're out of the picture.
Whoa!
Sorry, Mr. Bad.
We'll beat them
in the sequel.
No wonder they couldn't fight.
They've all gone Hollowood.
Let's scram, joke-boy.
I mean, I like all this
sidekick stuff,
but I really
want to direct.
Well, guys,
I think that's a wrap.
My beautiful set!
My epic film!
Ruined!
[SOBS]
There's no way
to save this!
Or is there?
It's a big Hollowood premier
here in Knightonia,
as they debut the new
Golden Castle film.
This is so exciting.
A big Hollowood
movie premiere.
And the knights were so happy
with that Ultra Armor
you made for them,
they gave you a front-row seat.
Nice to be appreciated.
Don't let it
go to your head.
Shh, everyone.
Settle down.
This is a momentous
occasion for you,
so you don't want
to miss a word.
Quiet, rabble!
Don't fret. I, Lance Richmond
will save the day.
Whoa!
I don't need any practice.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
I am the greatest knight
in Knighton.
Me. Me. Me. Me.
MACY:
Charge!
Editing, the best way
to save my genius.
Also, I wet my knight suit.
Again.
[BOISTEROUS LAUGHTER]
What can I say?
Jurgen is a genius.
Lance, I didn't think this movie
was a good idea at first,
but thank you so much
for letting me be a part of it.
[LAUGHTER]
We need to talk.
I can make you a star.
I'm more interested
in battling monsters.
Maynard? Bubeleh?
Sorry, Lancie,
You're yesterday's news.
How does
Knightjago sound?
It's enough to make you wet
your knight's suit, isn't it?
[SOBBING]
It is.
No!
Burnsie,
of all my minions,
you were the most disgusting,
stink-filled, and ugly.
And that made you
beautiful.
You will be avenged.
I, Jestro, the mag--
Ow!
BOOK OF MONSTERS: Cut!
Come on,
get it together.
Didn't you monsters
ever go to film school?
That take was almost usable.
Almost?
That was gold.
Gold!
You don't understand
my genius.
Ugh! I'll be in my trailer.
BOOK OF MONSTERS:
You don't have a trailer, prima donna!
And I have seen mushrooms with
more emotional range than you.
Move me to the camera.
You will never work
in this town again.
Okay, that's it.
We're done.
Shut this down!
Shut it all down now!

All of you are real knights,
and no one can ever
take that away from you.
Even Lance,
no matter what he does.
But I'll never be one.
Maybe I am just playing knight
after all.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES
AND VIBRATES]
The studios are lining up
with projects for you,
Lance-a-riffic.
How does Lanceformers sound?
You Lance-form into various
household appliances
and save the world.
Or Lance-vengers?
It's about a team of heroes
with cool powers,
but they're all clones
of you.
And Knightjago 3.
It's about a knight
who fights
by spinning around
or something.
They won't even make
the first two,
just go right to number three,
because sequels
are hot, hot, hot!
Where did you go?
I can't be without good news
for long.
You said
this movie thing
wouldn't interfere
with training.
Lance, the legend
of the Golden Castle
represents everything
I believe in.
Your movie has none of that.
You even convinced the director
to cut Merlok out of the script.
His hat distracts too much
from my amazing hair.
And you call that
a historical epic.
It's epic... an epic mess!
And all it does is remind me
I'll never be a real knight,
because my father
won't let me!
I know. Totally unfair.
Good thing that my father,
Cuthbert Richmond,
is your father's
childhood BFF.
I mean, he could try
and change his mind.
Might that be of interest to you
as payment for a movie role?
[SIGHS]
Fine.
I'll be in your stupid movie.
Attack them, you fools!
I'll destroy you all!
[CLEARS THROAT]
Attack them, you fools.
I'll des...
Uh, who-- Who are you?
You should be more concerned
with who I am, you hack.
[GRUNTS]
Eh, he wasn't half bad.
He didn't bring the gravitas
of the real Monstrux,
but whoever could?
I see someone right here
who can.
[MUMBLES]
There. Move me over there.
[CHOMPING]
Yes. Yes.
I got the power
of the movies in me.
Stand back!
[WHIMPERING]
[BOOK OF MONSTERS ROARS]
[BELCHES]
Sorry, I got nothing.
Seriously? All that shaking
and shuddering
and yelling “stand back”
for that?
How was I supposed to know some
extra's script had no power?
Hmm. I bet I need the script
of the person with the power
on this project.
I bet that'll do
the trick.
Uh, you mean the director?
JURGEN VON STROHEIM:
Cut, cut, cut!
Hmm.
Uh...
Robin, what are you doing?
Well, I decided, maybe all
the knights could use a boost.
Uh, you've got their armor
in pieces all over the place.
Yeah, well, it's gotten
a little bit more involved
than I first thought.
Oh, my, what a mess.
Ava, dear, I'm hungry.
Could you get me
some lunch?
You're a computer construct.
You don't eat any more.
Nevertheless
I'm starving.
Uh, can you code me up
a ham-and-cheese sandwich
on rye?
[SIGHS]
It was a tough battle,
but with my leadership,
skill, heart,
wisdom, and yes,
amazingly perfect hair,
we have won the day.
Oh, Lance Richmond,
you truly are the most
awesome knight in the history
of the Golden Castle.
I am so happy
to be in your presence
that I have wet
my knight suit.
Again.
[CHUCKLES]
In the history of the battle
against Monstrux
and his monsters,
I believe there is no foe,
be it giant monster
or evil horde,
that can stand
against we happy few,
we band of brothers.
[ALL CHEER]
Yay, verily.
But next time perhaps
I will make it an even match
and tie my arms and legs
to yon castle wall, over yon.
Jurgen, I'm not sure
this is working.
While the script
does concentrate on me,
does it concentrate
on me enough?
Lance, say the lines
so we can finish this
garbage barge of a movie.
ALL:
Yeah, come on.
You're all ingrates.
I'm the one who got you
in this movie.
I made that happen! Me!
Me. Me. Me.
I'm the star.
JURGEN VON STROHEIM:
Silence, thespian!
I have a schedule to keep!
Genius to put on film!
Why do I need actors
at all?
I hate them,
hate them, hate them!
It's like everyone in Hollowood
is a big baby.
Ha!
The director's
left the set.
I can't see
where he's going.
Hello?
Aah!
You are supposed
to be on the set,
you silly talking
costume racks.
Hey. The director.
And his script of power.
Hmm.
Hey! Hey!
Props did a fair job
for once.
The throat is
disgustingly mucousy.
And your breath
has a rank, eggy quality.
Personal space, here.
Personal space.
You are not needed.
I need a monster,
not some crazy half-jester.
You insult me?
I'll destroy you.
Pathetic.
I did not believe you were bad
for even a moment.
Then I'll make you
a believer.
Extras. You always
make me laugh,
because you're
so pathetic.
[LAUGHS]
Do you see?
I'm laughing at you.
[LAUGHING]
Laughing, laughing, laughing...
[ROARS]
I'm not laughing anymore.
[JURGEN VON STROHEIM SCREAMS]
[CHOMPING]
Ha! Got it.
Information about the world
is flooding my mind.
Oh, no.
Where's my bling?
I got no bling.
And I need to set up
a Book Face account.
How's anyone gonna know
how great I am
if I don't post a picture
of what I had for lunch?
[RUMBLING AND EXPLOSION]
[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]
[ALL SCREAM]
Whatever you're working on,
Robin, you better finish it.
Jestro is attacking
Hollowood.
Hmm.
[SCREAMING]
You will not laugh at me
and my evil power.
These monsters
are destroying my set.
My vision.
Yes, it's real
and really good.
So natural.
It's perfect.
[ROARS]
More. More destruction.
Yes, yes, good.
No. Jestro's going
to ruin my movie?
We have to stop him
from destroying my career.
We have to stop them
because they're monsters.
[♪♪♪]
Merlok: Nexo-Knight!
Clay, we're in our
stupid movie costumes.
We need our real
armor and weapons.
They're back at the Fortrex.
I'm on it.
[ROARS]
Axl, you're the only one
in your real armor.
You gotta hold them off
until we get a costume change.
Sure thing.
JURGEN VON STROHEIM:
Let your inner monsters out!
Set yourselves free!
[PANTING]
Thanks, Robin.
I gotta jam.
Whoa!
Robin, did you design
the Ultra Armor to work
with the Nexo-power signal
from Merlok?
Yup. It uses the circuits
already built into their armor.
Wonderful.
I don't really understand
any of it,
but I'm all for trying
new things.
[GRUNTING]
Keep filming. Keep filming.
[ALL SCREAM]
MACY: We better armor up
while Axl holds them off.
Wow, this script you ate
has created nothing
but a bunch of drama queens.
Hmm.
Get ready for Nexo Scan.
Huh?
[GRUNTS]
AXL:
Nice to see you guys.
Time to try out
this new Ultra Armor.
Ultra Armor?
Oh, yeah.
Robin added new power-ups
to our knights suits.
Call Merlok.
Merlok: Nexo-Knight.
[BEEPING]
MERLOK 2.0:
Nexo-Power!
Ultra Armor Activate!
MACY:
Charge!
How exactly
do these things work?
Whoa! Whoa! Hey!
Check it.
I've got an Arrow Storm.
Is this cool or what?
Whoo!
Yeah, well,
look at my Mace Blaster.
JESTRO:
We must fight.
They can take away our fire,
but they'll never take away
our freedom!
Wow. That's why you never
let actors go off-script.
[♪♪♪
[GRUNTS]
Sorry, hot stuff.
You're out of the picture.
Whoa!
Sorry, Mr. Bad.
We'll beat them
in the sequel.
No wonder they couldn't fight.
They've all gone Hollowood.
Let's scram, joke-boy.
I mean, I like all this
sidekick stuff,
but I really
want to direct.
Well, guys,
I think that's a wrap.
My beautiful set!
My epic film!
Ruined!
[SOBS]
There's no way
to save this!
Or is there?
It's a big Hollowood premier
here in Knightonia,
as they debut the new
Golden Castle film.
This is so exciting.
A big Hollowood
movie premiere.
And the knights were so happy
with that Ultra Armor
you made for them,
they gave you a front-row seat.
Nice to be appreciated.
Don't let it
go to your head.
Shh, everyone.
Settle down.
This is a momentous
occasion for you,
so you don't want
to miss a word.
Quiet, rabble!
Don't fret. I, Lance Richmond
will save the day.
Whoa!
I don't need any practice.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHING]
I am the greatest knight
in Knighton.
Me. Me. Me. Me.
MACY:
Charge!
Editing, the best way
to save my genius.
Also, I wet my knight suit.
Again.
[BOISTEROUS LAUGHTER]
What can I say?
Jurgen is a genius.
Lance, I didn't think this movie
was a good idea at first,
but thank you so much
for letting me be a part of it.
[LAUGHTER]
We need to talk.
I can make you a star.
I'm more interested
in battling monsters.
Maynard? Bubeleh?
Sorry, Lancie,
You're yesterday's news.
How does
Knightjago sound?
It's enough to make you wet
your knight's suit, isn't it?
[SOBBING]
It is.
No!
Burnsie,
of all my minions,
you were the most disgusting,
stink-filled, and ugly.
And that made you
beautiful.
You will be avenged.
I, Jestro, the mag--
Ow!
BOOK OF MONSTERS: Cut!
Come on,
get it together.
Didn't you monsters
ever go to film school?
That take was almost usable.
Almost?
That was gold.
Gold!
You don't understand
my genius.
Ugh! I'll be in my trailer.
BOOK OF MONSTERS:
You don't have a trailer, prima donna!
And I have seen mushrooms with
more emotional range than you.
Move me to the camera.
You will never work
in this town again.
Okay, that's it.
We're done.
Shut this down!
Shut it all down now!
