-No, but it will be our pleasure.

Can't you do that more gently?

Really, Mr. Shintaro! My grandkids

behave better than you do.

My grandchildren can drive you

out of town with their ninja sticks.

-He's right! We could!

-That's right, Tum Tum....

Boys! What are you doing here?

Grandpa, we missed you!

Nurse Hino, these are my three ninjas!

Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum.

Would you get that--?

Get out of here!

Well, boys. Colt, what

about the baseball game?

You're more important, Grandpa.

-We think you're in danger.

-What kind of danger?

You know the Japanese guy with

the white hair who stole your luggage?

He tried to rob the cabin.

How do you know?

Did he look like he was trying

to be a grunge-rock stud?

-The guy with the ugly white hair.

-The troll hair!

You know, a real wannabe type.

Oh, yeah.

Will you shut up, please?

I think they were after the dagger.

Well, they have it now.

-Rocky, how?

-You took Tum Tum's bag by mistake.

And they got my Ding Dongs.

Did you hear that?

Those kids got it!

So you came all this way because

you thought I needed your help.

What'd you tell your parents?

Well....

Oh, no.

We left them a note.

We have to call them

and tell them what's going on.

Meanwhile, we'd better make plans

about the dagger.

Hello, Jessica!

How's everything? How's the weather?

She's pissed.

Hi, Mom.

Jessica, it's not their fault.

I missed them and I sent for them.

Here, you talk to Tum Tum.

Hi, Mom. No.

Hey, boys.

The tournament is going on

right now in Koga.

I want you to take this dagger...

...and present it to the winner

of the competition.

-What about you?

-I'll meet you in Koga.

What? Oh, Ma.

Now do this for me.

Set the beeper on your watch.

Call us every day

at 2 p.m., Tokyo time.

Okay, Mom, okay, got it. 2 p.m.

Mom wants to say goodbye!

-Bye.

-Bye, Mom.

Nurse Hino, I thought I told you

to go away!

Do you know how I deal

with troublesome patients?

Nurse Hino, can I make a deal

with you?

I'll let you use me

as a pin cushion...

...if you see to it that my boys

get on the train to Koga.

I'll be glad to help.

-It's the end of my shift anyway.

-Thank God.

Nurse Shibuya will be taking my place.

I hope we make it there in time.

-I hope we see some great ninjas.

-I hope there's food.

Is this what Grandpa

wanted us to learn?

The next level of screaming?

This guy's good.

I could take him.

Hey, Colt. If number 16 wins this

one, he'll be in the finals.

I'll be right back.

Hey, that guy's not bad.

He's kind of wild, like Colt.

Colt!

Come on, he'll get his

brains splattered.

Stay here. Maybe it's the lesson

Grandpa had in mind.

Yes!

Ow!

A girl?

A girl?

A girl?

I'm such a spaz.

Rocky?

If she's the winner,

does that mean we give her this?

Let's go ask Mr. Big over there.

I'm sorry, you're going too fast.

Perhaps I can help.

I speak some English.

Tell him we bring this

from our grandfather, Mori Shintaro.

Whoa! Look at those feet!

He say he know everything. He spoke

with your grandfather from Tokyo.

Bet he's ticklish.

He says ceremony can wait a few

days, until Mori Shintaro arrive.

We must uphold the tradition.

What shall we do with this?

Grand Master say if your grandfather

trusted you with it, so does he.

Colt got beat by a girl!

Colt got beat by a girl!

Colt got beat by a girl!

-I'm still better than you.

-Shut up, spaz!

You are worthy opponent, Spaz.

Oh, no. It's Colt.

This is Rocky and Tum Tum.

I am Miyo. This is my mother.

I would love to hear about America.

You live near Bart Simpson?

-No.

-Were do you stay in Koga?

We didn't plan anything.

Then you come home with us.

We'd be honoured. But we must hurry.

One more important place to go.

Every year she is the only girl

to try out.

Hey, who lives in that castle over

there? The evil umpire?

Castle Hikone. No one live there.

Very, very old.

-Maybe she should stick to ninja.

-Shut up.

He tell me to come back

when I learn to catch.

He say because of ninja I am

good at swinging butt.

What?

You know, swing my butt.

You mean your "bat."

Yes. My butt.

Hey, I got an idea.

-You teach us ninja.

-And we'll teach you baseball.

Yes!

Grand Master's house. Run!

-Greetings, Uncle!

-Where have you been?

Doing your bidding, my dearest blood

of my blood. Listen to this.

Rock 'n' roll!

Stop! Why are you wasting my time?

Relax, san. What's the big deal?

Wrong tape.

Here, go on.

Just a second.

The tournament is going on

right now in Koga.

So I want you to take this dagger

and present it...

-... to the winner of the competition.

-That is his plan.

Return the dagger to the Grand Master.

Perfection.

I will be ready for him.

Ishikawa, prepare for our journey.

What about our dough?

I asked for a dagger,

you bring me a tape.

Two tapes.

No payment!

You have failed me.

Take care of them!

This is great. Rocky...

...tell Miyo's mother how

good this is.

-Thank you.

-We know my brother's a picky eater.

Your Japanese is getting good, Rocky.

You should say something

to the Grand Master.

Like, "Clip your toenails."

I have an idea to help.

Come, I will show you.

This book helps me learn

your language.

See?

I don't read Japanese.

You can teach me a few words.

No, it's half in English.

Don't you see?

Well, why don't you just read it

to me? You're better at this.

Just go ahead. Just sound it out.

"Hello."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Ow!

Rocky loves Miyo!

Rocky loves Miyo!

Rocky loves Miyo!

Grand Master say he will start

your training today too.

We're ready for him.

You were a great help, Miyo.

I wish I could go with you.

-Well, good luck.

-Thanks.

We'll do great. See you later.

-Bye, Miyo!

-Bye, Miyo!

Bye, Miyo. My little chicken pot pie.

So...

...you are the grandsons

of Mori Shintaro.

Hey, how come you didn't speak English

to us at the tournament?

In front of the other people?

They would not understand us.

It would be rude.

Did you bring the dagger

your grandfather gave you?

I thought you wanted to wait

till he arrived.

I changed my mind.

I want it now.

Weren't you shorter the other day?

Rocky! Colt! Tum Tum!

He's a fake!

Scramble!

You gonna talk us to death?

Oh, no. Mom!

Rocky!

-Give me the phone!

-Sure.

Catch.

It's about time. You're late.

Hey, Mom. It's me.

What's going on?

Not much.

You know, it's just

a small town in Japan.

Colt, Mom wants to talk to you.

Coming down!

Hi, Mom. Dad!

I thought there wasn't gonna

be any ninja stuff.

We're not. We're seeing

the sights and meeting the people.

When you get home, we're having

a long talk about responsibility.

Fine. I'll set aside a month.

Don't be a smart kid.

I'm not being a smart kid.

Rocky wants to talk to you.

Hi, Dad. The noise? What noise?

It's the TV. It's a kung fu movie.

Tum Tum, turn it down!

Hang on a sec.

Grandpa? He's out fishing

with friends.

Yeah, gotta go. Bye.

Come on, Rocky!

Rocky!

All right, Miyo!
