[people cheering]

[cheering continues]

Tell me,
I don't bend over backwards

to have a good time, huh?

[applauding]



Hey, who put my limbo

in limbo..

Oh, my dear Mask

how delightful to see you

after all this time.

twang

[gulps]
Chronos!

[whizzing]

[swooshing]

You have dishonored my limbo.

Prepare to fight!

Who said anything about
fighting, sweetie darling?

[instrumental music]

Mmh, the tango
is such a timeless dance.

N'est-ce pas?

[instrumental music]

And speaking of timeless..

[beeping]

[laughing]

[screaming]

What am I doing?

I should have my head examined.

boing

Which is more than
I can say for you, lady.

Oh, I didn't want
this moment to end.

So, I jumped back in time
to savor it.

Mmh, looking ahead at myself,
I'd say I have a bright future.

Which is more
than I can say for you.

zap

[screaming]

[thunderclap]

No-o-o!

No-o-o!

Exactly as I planned.

But enough limbo, let's do
the funky time warp again.

[snoring]

Mm-hm.

Stanley, wake up!

[stammering]

[grunting]
Ah!

Oh, I'm so sorry.
Let me help you with that.

-Ow!
-Oh, good one, Stan.

My dry cleaning bill's
coming out of your salary.

Brother! I can't wait for lunch.

[chuckles]

So, um, ahem, Violet, Vi

what would you say about
possibly, uh, ahem, you know

you and me doing a little,
um, ahem, um, lunch?

You know, maybe.

Well..

[snoring]

[clock ticking]

[Charlie]
'Stanley, wake up!'

[stammering]

[grunting]
Ah!

Ugh, if you didn't
wanna go to lunch

a simple no would've been fine.

Ugh, w-what are you
talking about?

Y-you never asked me to lunch.

Isn't 11:30 a little early
for lunch?

11:30? Ow!

Oh, good one, Stan.

My dry cleaning bill's
coming out of your salary.

[sighs]
Yeah, I know,
you-you just said that.

I did? When?

Hey, wasn't it noon
just a second ago?

Oh! Excuse me, man,
I-I need some air.

[traffic bustling]

Chronos. I should've known you'd
have something to do with this.

And what do you intend
to do about it?

Uh, m-me? N-nothing.

B-but I know just the person who
can clean your clock, sister.

Yes, by all means.

I will often get
your little Mask.

You have 20 minutes.

[screeching]

Oh, great.

I knew I should've
gassed up this mornin'.

It's a piece of junk.

[panting]

Come on, get..

[screeching]

[snoring]

[Charlie]
'Stanley, wake up!'

[stammering]

[grunting]
Ah!

[gasps]
I gotta get home.

Oh, good one, Stan.

I know, I know,
it's coming out of my salary.

Chronos!
What are you doing to the time?

[gasps]
Oh, what's the matter, Ipkiss?

Don't you like living
the same 30 minutes

over and over again?

Why are you doing this to me?

Sweetie darling,
the more I keep you occupied

the less I see
of our little green friend.

[panting]

Don't forget
to gas up this time.

[laughing]

[screeching]

[screeching]

[gasps]
Chronos!

How did you get here so fast?

[laughing]
This is a mere parlor trick

compared to what
I have in store.

How does the ultimate
time warp strike you?

[screeching]

Ultimate time warp? Oh!
Don't like the sound of that.

[Milo barking]

Ipkiss! What're you
doing home so early?

Uh, sorry, Mrs. Peenman,
I'm in k-k-kind of a hurry.

I hope you didn't lose your job.

Because if you can't pay
the rent, you're outta here.

[Milo growling]

What're you doin', Milo?

Let go.

[snoring]

[clock ticking]

[Charlie]
'Stanley, wake up!'

[stammering]

[grunting]
Ah!

Oh, man, I was so close.

Charlie, can I borrow you car?
Mine's low on gas. Thanks.

[instrumental music]

[screeching]

[gasps]
Now, you're here too?

[screeching]

Oh, one Chronos was bad enough,

but in three places at once..

[panting]
Stanley, if you don't get
the Mask really soon

we're all in for a really,
really bad time.

[Milo barking]

- Bubonic plague!
- What?

Uh, y-you were gonna ask me
why I'm home

uh, bubonic plague.
It's very contagious.

Stay back!

[groaning]

[panting]
Okay, okay, breathe.

[exhales sharply]
Stay calm.

You have ten whole minutes
to get to the bottom of this

weird time loop thing.

[chuckles]

[growling]

[crackling]

[whizzing]

Precious seconds
are ticking away.

I must thwart the evil plans

of the nefarious
Professor Chronos.

But first..

[whizzing]

Bubonic plague, we may have to
quarantine the entire building.

Better test your reflexes.

boing

Ooh, you look
a little feverish to me.

boom

[Mask]
'You seeing spots
before your eyes?'

No.

You are now! Ha-ha-ha!

[whimpering]

[Milo barking]

Don't come near me,
Mrs. Peenman.

[panting]
I have streptococcus
spondylitis.

I gotta wrangle me up a time
outlaw, ma'am.

But first.. Yee-haw!

Yippee.

[screaming]

thud

Stay away, Mrs. Peenman.
I-I-I..

I got the rockin' pneumonia and
the boogie woogie flu.

Ha!

[crackling]

[grunting]

Tonight, the landlady
sleeps with the fishes

in cement over shoes.

[grunting]

[grunting]

You think I'd get bored doin'
this kinda stuff over and over

but you'd be wrong.

[laughing]

[screaming]

[snoring]

[clock ticking]

[Charlie]
'Stanley, wake up!'

[gasps]

[grunting]
Ah!

Oh, no, I don't think
I can do this again.

[whimpering]

You can keep trying
to escape my time loop.

But every time
you jump back in time

so do I.

Only while you just go
around in circles.

I keep doubling back
and multiplying myself.

Ooh.

Oh, if I keep this up,
I can be all over the city

at the same time.

'Then you'll see
some real fireworks.'

[Milo barking]

[panting]
Mrs. Peenman, run!

Run while you still can.

I have the..

...sun-bola virus.

[retching]

[Milo growling]

[crackling]

Oh, doggy cufflinks,
the latest fashion statement

and so easy to remove.

Hiya!

[beeping]

[chuckles]
Hello.

What do I spy
with my little eye?

[instrumental music]

Aha! So that's how Chronos has given me the run around, eh?

Just one tug and I'm..

[groaning]

Definitely gonna need
a longer sleeve.

Chronos must pay!

[screaming]

Sorry can't stay,
whack on a lose

time device stuck to my arm.
Gotta go. Ciao, babes.

[grunting]

[muffled groaning]

Mmh, I see you've discovered
my temporal recycler patch.

[whizzing]

Oh, it's beautiful

stunning,
heart-stoppingly generous

but I'm afraid
I just cannot accept it.

Now, are you gonna take it off
or do I have to get...tough?

Take it off? Oh!

But that would
spoil the surprise.

Do you remember my little
time warp at the Coco Bongo?

That was the result of only two

of my stopwatches' time pulses.

Now, as you've seen

I've multiplied myself
with this time loop

placing myself at strategic
locations throughout Edge City.

At precisely 12 noon,

I will send out time pulses

and create
the ultimate time warp.

[bells tolling]

[panting]

[Chronos]
'Standing directly
in the center'

'I'll no longer need
a time machine.'

'I'll become one..'

[breathing heavily]
'...with time itself.'

[breathing heavily]

'I'll be able
to exist simultaneously'

'throughout all time.'

'I'll have limitless
power and..'

[breathing heavily]
'...immortality.'

Okay, Come on, come on.

[grunting]
That's gonna leave a mark.
Oh, boy.

[Chronos]
'Of course my time warp will
probably destroy Edge City'

but sacrifices must be made.

[gasps]
And the best part is that
you'll never be able to stop me

because you'll never
make it to 12 noon.

'You'll be trapped inside
the same half hour'

'for all eternity.'

[Chronos laughing]

[snoring]

[Charlie]
'Stanley, wake up.'

- Wha-wha-oh
- Ah!

[panting]
I've lost track
of how many times

I've gone around
Chronos' time loop.

[whimpering]

'And if she's done
planting those time pulses'

I have only 12 minutes
to save the city.

[whizzing]

Oh-ho, come on.

12 minutes, plenty of time.

But first..

...I've got to rub off
Chrono's temporal tattoo.

[growling]

[clanking]

[clock ticking]

No beedeep, beedeep, no whoosh.

Then I'm callin' time out
on Chronos.

Massive time warp
at 12 o'clock.

Need the time?

Well, hello, darling.

[intense music]

boom

Need the time?

I am the time.

[laughing]

[rumbling]

[wind howling]

Time!

Your mistress beckons.

[intense music]

Time!

Your mistress beckons.

Must break through time warp.

It is very much like
walking against the wind, no?

Ah!

Time to punch the clock.

You're grounded, young lady.

Now give me those stop watches,
pumpkin.

I think not.

I have all the time I need

to make friends
and influence people.

How about a blast from the past?

[screeching]

What? No in-flight movie?

[screaming]

thud

Ah, I'll mortalize you,
ya pencil-neck geek.

[yawning]
Oh, please.

[horse neighing]

[gasps]

Torro, torro.

[applauding]

Very clever.

But you won't stop me that way.

Fetch.

Woo-ohh-ah!

Ho! Yeah!

[grunting]

Whoo!

Very interesting.

Oh, my, look at that lifeline,
it is awfully short.

[screeching]

thud

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Oh, what a mess some people
leave in the public park. Oooh.

[swooshing]

Quel excellentidea, Mask.

I don't have to waste
my precious time on you

when I can simply send you
to be lost in time

forever!

Whoa!

Ah, Chronos,
your time warp sucks.

[grunting]

Oh, of course, if you
hadn't escaped my time loop

you'd never have to
suffer this fate.

Time loop, that's it.

Ah-ha! The silent dog whistle.

[inhales deeply]

[whistling]

[snoring]

[whistling]

[barking]

[laughing]

[grunting]

Laugh all you want, Chronos.

I'm not licked yet.

[barking]

I stand corrected.

[Chronos laughing]

[Chronos]
'Oh, you must be joking.'

'That mutt can't help you.'

[humming]

[beeping]

Wait, what are you doing?

It's time to do the Deja-vu-do
that you do so well.

[grunting]

[screaming]

No!

boing

No!

boing

No!

[instrumental music]

[laughing]

Nice work, poochie,
how's your boo-boo.

Chronos and her time warp
are history.

[alarm ringing]

Finally, it's lunchtime.

[snoring]

[horn blaring]

Ah!

Say, Vi, what do you say me
and you blow this pop stand

and grab us some
chow at the Coco Bongo?

Personally
I could eat a dinosaur.

That last half hour
before lunch is a killer.

- I--
- Please, don't speak.

This moment may
never pass again.

- I--
- Please, don't speak.

This moment may
never pass again.

Somebody stop me!
