I found it.

See? Let's go.

Were you hatched from a moron egg?

Does that look like this?

Get a better scent.

You sniff around down here.

I'll go upstairs.

Who's there?

Who's there?

How hard can it be

to find a little dagger?

Slam?

Slam, man. You find it?

-Lemon meringue.

-Banana cream, bozo!

Nice try.

Vinnie!

Come on, cheesehead!

Was that a yes?

I don't think the house is empty.

There's nobody here.

You're right.

There's somebody here.

I'm tired of playing with you--

That's it, you runts! You're mine!

Please, Mr. Man, don't hurt us.

Come on!

Get over here!

Who are you, teenage mutant wannabes?

We're the Three Ninjas!

-Let's go while we're still standing.

-I'm with that.

Out of my way, Slam. I'm out of here!

I'm working with idiots.

Oh, yeah? Come on. Try and get me.

Come on, come on.

Let's get him!

Watch the tree! Watch the tree!

Chickens.

Come on. Go, go, go.

-Vinnie!

-What are you doing?

Now, if I was a dagger,

where would I hi--?

Will you hurry?

I did it!

Come see us again!

I thought it was supposed to be empty.

It was supposed to be an easy job.

-Stop!

-Glam said it was empty.

We forgot Glam!

He's here. Drive!

-Wasn't that great?

-That was awesome.

I can't believe the oil trick

worked twice.

What?

I thought you'd have dinner ready.

What's this mess?

-Three guys--

-Tried to rob the cabin!

What did they want to rob?

-TVs and stuff. We heard them.

-But we got rid of them.

They finally gave up and ran away.

We used what you taught us.

We were great.

A true ninja never brags

about his skills.

The next time, call the police.

There were these...security guards.

-And....

-Watchdogs!

-I got close to it. I saw it.

-Do you have the dagger?

No, I don't have it. It's not like

it's exactly in my hands.

I want the dagger in my hands tomorrow.

Understand? Tomorrow!

Get the dagger and be at my office

here in Tokyo...

...or you will receive no pay.

Love you.

We're dropping Dad at the airport.

He's disappointed they aren't going.

Everything they need to know

they can learn from baseball, like me.

Don't forget your dad

was a kid once too.

I thought he was born full-grown

with a briefcase.

That's enough.

When I was a kid, I played

like a member of the team.

The way you'll play next week, right?

Michael, come on!

Hey! Who ate my Good & Plenty?

This should protect my bag.

Mousetrap.

I almost forgot

the most important thing.

They're taking the dagger.

Wait, wait, wait.

-Which bags are yours?

-The one without the sticker.

Which one?

Oh, here it is.

Goodbye. Wish you

were coming with me.

Me too, Grandpa.

There he goes!

-Bye, Dad.

-Bye, Grandpa.

Vacation time!

This is terrible. I'm so sorry.

I'm just a stupid American.

Very sorry. Sorry, sir. Sorry.

Get in! Get in! Get in!

Greetings, Uncle!

I was expecting you earlier.

Don't touch me!

Uncle, we did your bidding,

and we got the goods right here.

-Quiet, fool.

-Quiet, fool.

-Give it to me!

-Give it to him!

Hey, nice vase.

Behold! The dagger of doom.

-I can explain this.

-You have failed!

Ishikawa! Show them

how we deal with fools!

Hey, that's our lead singer, you!

We can do instrumentals.

We don't need lyrics.

Can we talk about this?

Nephew, I am much dissatisfied.

But I am prepared to give you...

...another chance.

You say Mori Shintaro is in Japan.

Keep an eye on him.

Listen to every word he says.

And bring back that dagger to me!

My fortune says,

"Love appears on a journey."

You blew that one for us.

-You voted to stay too.

-I know.

But I wish I hadn't.

Besides, all love fortunes

are for Rocky.

That means you got mine.

What's it say?

Put them on. Grandpa says you

make it worse when you squint.

Put them on, Rocky.

We won't make fun of you.

The four-eyed beast!

Mine says I have an insect for a

brother, and I should squash him!

Help me!

-He's right.

-Yeah.

You do look like a four-eyed beast.

Only I can call my brother that.

What do you call him? My Little Pony?

Kick their butts, Colt.

I'd love to see you try. Come on.

Let's go. Let's go inside.

-Now!

-You're not my boss.

I said, now!

Yeah, go inside. The Strike Out Kid.

See you Sunday, Dragons!

You're acting like Grandpa.

You should have murder-lized them.

You made me look like a wimp

in front of those guys.

Chill, it's Grandpa.

Well, hello, boys! I'm all right.

I'm in a hospital.

What's wrong?

Oh, I was in a tiny car accident.

A few bruises.

I'm at the mercy of a nurse

that doesn't speak English.

Actually, she's a witch

posing as a nurse.

Do you mind?

I'm talking to my grandson.

I had all my luggage stolen.

They took everything.

Even the dagger.

They stole the dagger.

You vampire!

I saw this weird Japanese guy

with long, white hair running away.

-Don't tell your mom and dad.

-We won't.

I'm in Tokyo General.

Oh, it's a fine hospital.

Except for this wicked nurse

with a face like a dragon's butt.

Some people here do understand

English, Mr. Shintaro!

Hope you feel better soon. Bye.

-Who hit him?

-A Japanese guy with white hair.

Like the jerko at the cabin?

-Oh, no!

-Those guys are in Japan!

This isn't my bag.

This is Grandpa's bag. Look.

They were after the dagger.

We gotta go there.

We gotta help Grandpa.

What about the baseball game?

-That's a game. This is Grandpa.

-But where are my Ding Dongs?

Forget your Ding Dongs.

We gotta work fast.

First, I'll take care of the tickets.

Okay, so that's three

children's fares to Tokyo.

-We're almost grown-up.

-The name on the card?

Mori Shintaro. He's my grandfather.

We'll need his authorization.

Can I talk to him?

Sure. Colt, do you have Grandpa's

message from the answering machine?

-Hello.

-Hello, Mr. Shintaro? How are you?

I'm all right.

That's nice. I just took

a reservation from--

-My grandson.

-Yes, that's what he said.

Three seats this afternoon to....

-Tokyo.

-Yes!

I have your authorization for three

first-class children's tickets...

...to Tokyo, totalling $1 1,364?

I'm sorry?

Is this amount okay with you?

-Yes, everything, you vampire!

-Really, sir! I don't set the prices.

I just work here.

I'll run this through.

They can pick

the tickets up at the airport.

Ugly witch.

Yeah? Well, you know what you are?

Goodbye.

All right, we got a lot to do.

I'll write a note to Mom and Dad.

Colt, find money,

and, Tum Tum, call a shuttle.

We'll be packed on time.

How will we do all that

before Mom and Dad get home?

You've heard of ingenuity, right?

Well, this is "ninja-nuity."

-Tum Tum!

-I don't want to leave Mom and Dad.

Tum Tum, it's for Grandpa.

Happy?

-How fast can you get us to LAX?

-Buckle up.

Colt?

Tum Tum?

Rocky?

It's okay. We'll stick together.

Rocky, catch.

You're out!

She thank you. Want to repay you.

Could you take us

to Tokyo General Hospital?

She want to know, are you sick?

We're fine.

But our grandpa's there.

-Mori Shintaro. Do you know him?
