Oban Star-Racers (2006): Season 1, Episode 10 - Resistant Like Rush - full transcript
It's 2082. Ten thousand years have passed since the last great race on the remote planet of Oban. Now the time has come for the pilots of the galaxy to compete in a new race, and Earth is more than ready with its spectacular Whizzing Arrow star-racer. Built and maintained by racing legend Don Wei's team of engineers and mechanics, the Whizzing Arrow has become the Earth's only hope against annihilation by the greatest foe the world has ever seen--the menacing Crog Imperium.
RICK NARRATING: The Earth
Team made it to the playoffs,
but lost their first two races.
Basically, they were
headed out the door.
So Don Wei called in the
cavalry-- me, Rick Thunderbolt,
former champion star-racer
pilot, and now, the new coach
for the Earth Team.
Everything went
smoothly after that.
We won the next race.
But Molly's holding
something back.
I can feel it.
I hope she'll open up.
[THEME MUSIC]
[ZOOMS]
-OK, Molly.
Now, give me the edge.
-Check.
-Triple spin, clockwise!
-Aaagh, aah!
Aah, oh!
Hup.
Good thing I ate light.
-Jordan, instead of
whining, why don't you
switch the turret and
aim towards the rear?
-Uh, sorry, Rick.
Uh, I'm on it.
[MOTOR WHIRS]
RICK (OFFSCREEN): Is that
the best you can do, Molly?
Give me the same,
counterclockwise.
Come on, keep doing your best!
[WHOOSH]
-How is today's training?
-We're doomed.
-What?
-[CHUCKLES]
They're making good progress.
You'll be very happy.
-OK, people.
Let's get it together.
It's almost time!
I'm counting on all of
you to do your very best
and win today's race.
-Me, me, me.
A simple "good luck"
would be nice, just once.
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
-Huh?
-Thinking about your dad again?
-My dad?
But how did you--
-You told me he was your
reason for racing, didn't you?
-Yes, I did, of course.
Um, my dad.
-Well, now's the
time to show daddy
what you're really
made of, little mouse.
STAN (OFFSCREEN):
Refueling complete.
-[GRUNTS]
Even if he can't
see you from Earth,
I'm sure your dad
feels your victories.
STAN (OFFSCREEN): System's OK.
It's a go.
-Thank you, Rick.
But unfortunately, my dad
happens to be a complete jerk!
[MOTOR WHIRS]
[ZOOMS]
-For the fourth round
of the playoffs,
we now call forth
the Earth Team!
And from Planet Byrus, Rush
aboard the Stone Crusher!
-Hey, Jordan.
Take a look at that.
-Aw, that fat Santa
doesn't scare me.
-[GRUNTS]
Rrrah!
Urrrh!
Aah!
Hoho, hoho, hoho.
-Well, not really.
-That ship looks too
heavy to be fast.
-Koji?
-Fused magma for propulsion.
Extremely resistant exterior.
There's no telling how
much thrust he has.
-Keep digging.
Remember, I don't
like surprises.
-Today's playoff will
have a special rule.
Target race.
-A target race?
I like the sound of that one.
-Stan, do you know
what that means?
-I haven't a clue.
-They're surprise
targets, no doubt.
-Come on, Don.
Relax.
Trust the kids to
do their thing.
-As if I had a choice.
[MOTORS WHIRRING]
-Out of my way!
I need this victory!
[BLASTS]
JORDAN (OFFSCREEN): Molly!
I can't hold him off!
-Nngh!
Not good.
RICK (THINKING): Molly,
remember your training.
-It's edge time.
[ZOOMS]
-Yeah, that's my girl.
-That was so not cool.
-Sir, I think you should know
that the alien ship is cruising
at only 30% of its capacity.
In other words, he's
dragging his feet.
-Why on earth would he that?
-Ah, there they are.
[WHIRRING MOTOR]
[BLAST]
ANNOUNCER (OFFSCREEN):
1 point for Rush.
And an extra bonus point for
being the first to score.
-Huh?
-The one who destroys the most
targets in the shortest time
will be today's winner.
-Molly, the spheres!
They're your targets!
-Huh!
DON (OFFSCREEN):
Turn back at once!
MOLLY (OFFSCREEN): That's it!
Jordan, hit them!
[GASPS]
[ZAPS]
-[GUFFAWS]
[BEEPS]
-Almost there.
Gotcha!
[BLASTS]
-And now, fret.
[BLASTS]
[ZAP]
-[GASPS]
-Ha-ha!
[BLAST]
-Earth Team, 1; Rush, 5.
-Faster, Molly.
Without this victory,
we're finished.
Find the target!
-Cut her some slack, Don.
You're only going
to freak her out.
-Rick, I asked you to
coach them, not me.
All right?
-Tch.
-Bye-bye, kiddies.
And on to the ultimate prize.
-Hrrh!
Huh?
[SIGHS]
[GASPS]
-Huh?
Uh, this is the wrong tunnel!
He's got all the
targets on his side!
-Try the infrared sensors.
[BEEPS]
[BLAST]
-Bingo!
[BLASTS]
-Watch out, Jordan.
We're leaving the tunnel?
-Ha?
Aaargh!
-The Earth Team has
destroyed four targets.
-Ngh, didn't see that one
coming, did you, big guy?
-Rush has destroyed five.
Revised score is 5 for the
Earth Team and 10 for Rush!
[CHEERS]
-Molly!
What are you doing?
Don't let him control the race!
-What do you think I'm doing?
Knitting you a sweater?
-[GRUNTS]
-Great!
Now, I'm color blind.
Hngh.
Molly, do me a favor.
Give me an edge.
-Whatever makes you happy.
[BLASTS]
-10 targets!
Urrrh!
[BLASTS]
ANNOUNCER (OFFSCREEN):
The new score is 24 to 24!
-Huh!
Buckle up, Jordan,
we're back to the race!
-[GUFFAWS]
Now, you're forcing
me into the wall!
[ZOOMS]
[BEEPS]
-One more.
Jordan, I hope you're OK because
I got a real treat for you.
-I'm all over it.
Come on, Jordan.
Don't blow this.
-Huh?
-[GRUNTS]
-It's mine!
[CRASH]
[MOLLY AND JORDAN YELLING]
[ZAPPING]
[BLAST]
-Huh?
-Yahoo!
-We won!
-Yeah!
-That's incredible!
-[SIGHS]
I'm getting too old for this.
-Well, you did the best
you could to stop them,
but they still won the race.
-Hmm.
-Final score, the Earth
Team, 25; Rush, 24.
Earth Team wins!
[APPLAUSE]
-[GRUNTS]
-Hm.
DON (OFFSCREEN): Bravo, Jordan!
You saved the day, my boy!
That was excellent shooting.
-It was nothing, sir.
-Now, now, pull
yourself together.
We have more races to win.
Huh?
Molly, I-- I must
congratulate you, too.
It was a tough race.
And you fared, er, beautifully.
-Thank you, sir.
-Hm.
[ENGINE REVS]
-Hop on, Jordan.
A change of scenery
will do us good.
Let's blow this pop stand.
-Ha?
-I can't breathe in here.
[CHUCKLES]
[ZOOMS]
-You really got a problem with
this girl, don't you, huh?
-I'm tough with all my pilots.
You should know that.
-Maybe it's time
you got a life, Don.
-My life is perfectly
fine as it is, thank you.
-Yeah, right.
I'd sure hate to be your son, or
for that matter, your daughter.
-Huh?
-Did I say something wrong?
-I'm not sure I'm up
for a long ride, Molly.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
-Besides, these fields
all look the same to me.
-Jordan, you really have
no sense of adventure.
Hang on!
[ENGINE REVS]
-Aah!
-You had a family?
How come you never told me?
-You remember when we first met?
-Yeah, sure.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[DOG BARKING]
-[GRUNTS]
[ENGINES REVVING]
-Yah, hah!
-Whoo, hoo, hoo!
[ENGINE REVS]
[TIRES SCREECH]
-Ha?
-Yah!
-Hey!
-Hey!
Hey, old man.
You busy?
We need someone to
give us a start.
-Excuse me?
-We're racing.
Or is that not obvious
enough for you?
-[CHUCKLES]
You want me to start
a race? [CHUCKLES]
[GUFFAWS]
-Huh?
DON (OFFSCREEN): [GUFFAWS]
-[CHUCKLES]
[LAUGHING]
Oh, man.
You are out there!
-[GRUNTS] OK, fine.
I'll do it.
But don't shift so
early this time.
-Hm.
[ENGINES STARTING]
DON NARRATING: You won that
race and every one after it.
[CHEERS]
-Thanks to your great coaching.
-From the moment
we worked together,
it was the beginning
of a new life for me.
But I didn't say much
about my previous life.
-Huh?
-You see, I've been
a manager before.
A married man with
a young daughter.
The death of my first champion
turned my world upside down.
I lost the desire to carry on.
I cut all links to my
past in order to survive.
-I can't believe that you
managed to keep this from me
all these years.
[INSECTS CHIRPING]
-This island filled with ruins.
But they don't
look like anything
the Scrubs would build, do they?
-I never thought about it.
-(WHISPERS) Whoa.
[WHIZZING]
-I'm going to
check this one out.
-What?
-[GRUNTS]
-Eh, hey, Molly?
I think we should head back.
It'll be dark soon.
-Oh, come on.
You think Don Wei is
going to worry about us?
Look!
There's an opening up there!
-Molly!
-Jordan, take a
look at this place.
It's totally amazing!
You can clean your guns later.
I'm going in there.
-Come on.
Let's get out of here.
This place gives me the creeps.
-[PANTS]
[RUMBLING]
-[SHRIEKS]
-Molly!
Mol--
MOLLY (OFFSCREEN): [SHRIEKS]
-Uhh!
-Molly!
Are you OK?
[CRASH]
-[GROANS]
Huh?
What are these sculptures?
Strange.
They look like star-racers.
But that's impossible.
This temple is ancient.
It must be thousands
of years old.
Huh?
[RUMBLING]
[GUSHING LIQUID]
-Uhh.
[SHRIEKS]
[RUMBLING]
-Ugh.
Molly, get out of there!
It's sinking!
-[SHRIEKS]
-Uh!
Uhh!
Oh!
-Molly!
[RUMBLING]
-Urrh!
Ugh!
[GRUNTS]
[CLANG]
-Thanks for trying, lad.
There's nothing you
can do for her now.
-Molly.
Huh?
Molly!
Molly.
-[COUGHS]
[GASPS]
Huh?
-Molly, are you all right?
-You saved me.
But why?
-I was following you.
I wanted to congratulate
you on your victory.
-Huh?
-Hm?
-It was truly a
splendid race! [GUFFAWS]
-You mean, you're
really happy for us?
I-- I don't understand.
-I lost the race today.
But I'll surely win tomorrow.
On my planet, we pride
ourselves on seeing
the bright side of life.
My ram's horn is
always half full.
[GUFFAWS]
[WHIZZING]
-Come, I'll drive
you back to your pit.
You both had enough
excitement for one day.
[WIND WHISTLING]
-Mom, I need a big hug. [SNORES]
-Hm?
-[SNORES]
-Hm.
Huh, huh?
