all the gold runs out?

Why, it's never gonna

run out.

- It's not?

- No, no, no, no.

Whiplash is too smart.

Snidely was smart enough

to keep the gold coming in...

So the profits would

keep coming in;

smart enough to own his own

helicopter; Smart enough

to have won over...

Every government authority

within 2,000 Miles.

But was he smart enough

to outwit a pathetic bum...

And the only man to be

thrown out of the mounties

in a hundred years?

We'll have to see about that.

I don't see anything.

Aha!

See? That's where

they melt down the gold...

So they can salt it at night.

Whiplash.

Would you look how popular

snidely is? That's not right.

People always

suck up to the guy in charge.

You know that. It's like life.

I say we go down there

and arrest them all.

I don't think so.

Why not?

I'll give you

three good reasons.

I'd like to start

with the second one first,

if that's okay with you.

We go down there,

they'll kill us.

You're not

a mountie anymore,

They're not doing

anything illegal.

But we've gotta do

something!

No!

You gotta do something.

I just wanted to show you

what was going on.

What's my next move?

Well, you could,

steal the gold...

Before they can salt it,

and that way--

end of gold rush.

What? Me, steal?

Me, break the law?

Sadly, yeah.

But then I'd be

Dudley "do-wrong."

Do-wrong's nice.

I like that.

It's kind of French.

You know,

"Dudley do-wrong."

I'm so confused.

It's not

that complicated, Dudley.

The bad guy, snidely whiplash,

is apparently doing good,

ergo, putting you,

the good guy, in the position

of having to be the bad guy.

Well, not exactly the bad guy.

Let's say the "badder" guy.

But just as a bad guy doing

good does not necessarily make

him the good guy,

so a good guy doing bad

does not, ipso facto,

make him a bad guy.

This can't be happening.

He can't be the good guy.

But he is. The good citizens

of whiplash city are throwing

a ball in his honor tonight.

For snidely?

He likes bread and butter

he likes toast and jam

that's what his baby

feeds him

he's her lovin' man

I don't believe it.

They love him!

You better believe it.

He is the good guy!

Yeah,

not to mention the fact

that he's got Nell.

No. Maybe it's just

someone who looks like her.

Nah, that's Nell.

Did you ever have

to make up your mind

it is Nell!

I can't believe that this

is happening to me!

Sorry.

It's okay.

I better go do something

about this.

No, wait!

You're not ready.

You're not trained.

Sometimes it's one

with big blue eyes

cute as a bunny

with hair down to here

and plenty of money

and just when you think

she's that one in the world

your heart gets stolen

by some mousy little girl

then you know you better

make up your mind

and pick up on one

and leave the other behind

it's not often easy

and not often kind

did you ever have

to make up your mind

whoo!

Whoo!

Whoo!

Sometimes you really

dig a girl

the moment you kiss her

then you get distracted

by her older sister

when in walks her father

and takes you in line

you better go home, son

and make up your mind

then you bet

you better finally decide

to say yes to one

and let the other one ride

there's so many changes

and tears you must hide

did you ever have

to finally decide

Well done!

This is gonna take

a lot of work.

And who better to do that work

than Kim darling himself,

a grown man

with an extensive

pokemon collection?

My son,

the hero defeats danger...

Because he is

dangerous himself.

You... are... dangerous.

Know it. Say it.

You are dangerous.

No. Say,

"I am dangerous."

- I did.

- No, say,

"I am dangerous."

- You are dangerous.

- No, no, no, no.

You say,

"I am dangerous."

But you said--

Never mind.

The hero must face

three trials:

Trust, daring, instinct.

For the sake of consistency,

we'll start with number two.

Daring!

Okay, now.

I am your adversary.

I am evil.

Evil! Evil!

You're evil.

Yes. And now I'm going

to draw this line in the sand.

Now, do not dare

cross that line,

otherwise evil will

rain down upon you-- evil!

No, no. Look, Dudley,

take me up on my challenge by

showing me how daring you are.

Let's try it once again,

shall we?

I am evil!

Now, do not dare

cross that line!

I am evil! Evil!

Well, what? You said I'm

not supposed to cross

the line!

But you're supposed

to cross the line!

Let's try it again.

Okay, now. Do not dare

cross the line of death.

I am evil!

I am evil!

What'd you do that for?

'Cause I'm evil.

I can't help it.

Sorry.

Eight, nine, ten--

Trust.

The hero trusts.

Now, I will throw

some stones at you--

Missing intentionally,

of course--

And you will not flinch

as they whiz past your head

because you trust me.

I trust you, master.

Good!

Sorry.

But that was very good.

You trusted me.

Okay?

- - Perfect!

You didn't flinch at all.

Just one more, okay?

Excellent! Absolutely!

Trust is your middle name.

A lot less moaning

would be good.

Instinct.

You will fight me

without benefit of eyesight.

You will block

my every blow...

Because you can see without

your eyes, you can hear

without your ears,

you can speak

without your tongue.

Yes, master.

I said without your tongue.

Now, your sword is your stick.

The stick is your defense.

Prepare to defeat me.

Are you ready? Ha!

Very good, indeed--

the hopping-foot defense.

Very good!

The other-foot-hopping

defense.

Wonderful! You're at one with

the universe. And now,

concentrate.

Prepare to receive

my final assault.

- Wonderful.

The playing-dead defense.

- Master--

Good choice

under the circumstances.

You'll be all right, my son,

providing they don't

attack you with sticks.

With his master's lesson

ringing in his ears,

Dudley set off

in search of justice...

You are ready, my son.

And extra-strength Tylenol.

You are ready because

you've taken everything

I can throw at you...

And still you stand

tall and true.

You are ready

to face danger

because you are danger.

Now, get out there and

do something dangerous.

No! Please don't!

Then tell me

when the next gold

delivery arrives.

I don't know.

Well, then I'm afraid

we're gonna find out

which is your better side.

You're a mountie.

Not anymore.

Thursday. The gold's

coming at noon on Thursday.

Noon Thursday. Thank you.

- Now if I can just figure out

how to stop this thing.

- What?

Whoa! That's not it.

Owee!

Just papier-mache.

Completely recyclable

material.

- What kind of man are you

anyway, do-right?

- A dangerous one.

He's got the gold!

After him, boys!

He may have been outnumbered,

but Dudley knew these woods

like the back of his horse.

Whoa!

Yee-ha!

Do you have any idea what

this could possibly mean?

Doris day.

Just a guess.

Dom deluise.

Daniel day-Lewis.

Snoop doggy dogg.

Daphne du maurier.

Shut up.

- Doc duvalier.

- David duchovny?

- Delores del Rio.

- Shut up, you idiots.

- Dan rather.
