"Hello!" "Yes, yes." "I have been expecting you." " I have come for..." " Please, please." "Do not insult me." "I know why you are here." " You do?" " Of course." "Many things in life are a mystery, but I know why you are here." "Yes, I know like a mother knows its child." "For example, if the child came home crying, the mother would know why." "That is how I know why you are here." "Please." "I am here for something very important." "Of course." "This I know." "You are here for what you cannot find anywhere else." "You are here to fulfill your most intimate desire." "You are here for what has been woven through time to guide you to your home." " Yes." "Is it here?" " Of course." "May I present the Aragian rug of King Bassad." " What?" "Yes." "This I know." "It is quite breathtaking." "I am sorry." "I must have the wrong place." "I do not wish to purchase a rug." " What?" " I was positive this was the place." "Wait." "May I see that?" "The ancient scroll of the Woolies." "Yes." "They said that you might be able to help me." "Of course." "The Woolies are old friends." "Why did you not say so in the beginning?" " But I tried..." " No matter." "Come quickly." "I sense we haven't much time." "There." "The Light of Eternity." "Come, sit." "There is nothing to fear." "Place your hands into the light." "The light has accepted you." "A vision is forming." "A strange structure with a jewel inside." "Yes." "It is what you seek." "The jewel possesses great magic." " What has happened?" " A warning." "Only one of pure heart may approach and use the power of the jewel." "My mission is noble." "My heart is pure." "I have nothing to fear." "Yes, the truth you speak." "Now follow the setting sun and the rising moon." "They will be your guide." "Something is wrong." " It is something evil." " I cannot make the image out." "Master Aku will pay us greatly for your destruction." "My sword." "What are you looking at?" "What the...?" " The evil." " Yes, I know." "No." "You don't understand." " It's about time." " I needed my sword." " I can see." " Who are you?" "And why did you help me?" "You're not the grateful kind, are you?" "This way." "Hurry." " Do you know how to ride an ukla?" " A what?" " It's like a camel, but different." " I know how to ride a camel." "Good." " Uklas?" " Adorable, aren't they?" "Hut, hut, hut!" "No. "Hut, hut, hut!"" "Hut, hut, hut!" "Hut, hut, hut!" " Who are you?" "Why did you help me?" " You're welcome." "My time in this land has made me harsh and rude." "Forgive me." "I did not mean to insult you." " No tears shed, samurai." " Jack." " What?" " Samurai Jack." "It is what the people of this land have named me." "Okay." "Then let us find shelter for the night, Jack." "The night is not for riding." "Do not worry." "They're harmless." "I am lkra." "I came to that place not to save you, but to save my father." "You see, many moons ago, my father, a great warrior stood against our lord and master Aku's tyranny." "But Aku was too powerful." "He made an example of my father and entrapped him in a ring of fire." "He has been imprisoned for eternity to pay for the crime that he committed against Aku." "Legend has it that somewhere in this desert lays a hidden magical jewel of great power a power strong enough to free my father." "The creature at that store was the last survivor of an ancient race of desert-dwellers." "He alone knew the whereabouts of the jewel." "I have searched for him for five years." "Now with the commotion that we have caused I'm afraid it may take me another five years to find him, if at all." "It is more than coincidence that our paths have crossed." " What?" " Yes." "Aku's treachery is my curse also." "But it appears that together we will have the power to defeat the demon." "Aku's henchmen were too late." "The ancient desert-dweller showed me how to find the all-powerful jewel." " No." " Yes." "We shall quest for the jewel." "Once we attain it, we will use its power to free your father and send me back in time to destroy Aku and undo the years of tyranny that he has laid upon these lands." "Look, the rising moon." "The path has been set." "Our time is now." "Where as individuals we have failed, together we will be victorious." " Hut, hut, hut!" " Hut, hut, hut!" " Look." " A mirage?" "It might be." "But we have traveled far." "I sense we are close." "Water!" "Our quest has ended." "The jewel." "My time on this miserable Aku-infested land will finally be over." "Magical jewel, we have traveled through your desert." "We have overcome every treacherous obstacle." "We have been awed by its breathtaking beauty." "We have earned its respect." "We now humbly request to use your power." "Fulfill our destiny!" " What is happening?" " The wizard spoke of this." "Only one of pure heart may use the power of the jewel." "It is testing us." "Something is wrong." " We have been deceived." " No." "There must be some mistake." "We are of pure heart." "I will not fight." " You possess the power of flight?" " Yes." "And much more." "What is happening?" "The jewel." "We have succeeded!" "At long last, my quest has come to an end." "What have you done?" " Ikra?" " No, fool!" "It is I, Aku." "Yes, samurai." "You have been betrayed." "I and lkra are one and the same." "No." "Oh, yes." "You see, I had a dream." "No, a nightmare of a jewel that had the power to send you back in time." "I knew that this was no mere dream, but a premonition." "I had to destroy this powerful jewel." " But I did not know its whereabouts." " No." "Yes, samurai." "I knew you would find it." ""My poor father trapped in a ring of fire by mean old Aku."" "Fool!" "Fight me, coward!" "Soon we will fight." "But not until I find a way to defeat you and your sword." "Now, how did you put it?" "Oh, yes." "Your time on this miserable Aku-infested land continues." "I will destroy you, Aku." "I swear it."
