CHAPTER 1:
The town of Linga....
LEON: I wanna go home! I've been out all day!
ASHTON: Yeah, me too!
GYORO and URURUN: Awrk, awrk!
BOWMAN: Hold on, you two! There's still things for us to do first!
LEON: Huh?
BOWMAN: At my place, the plumbing's gone bad. I need you two to help me fix
it.
ASHTON: ... Really?
BOWMAN: If we get to work now, it will be done in no time.
LEON: Well, let's do it.
Claude comes walking by.
CLAUDE: Plumbing, eh? Sounds interesting.
ASHTON: Would you like to help, Claude?
CLAUDE: .... No thanks, heh, heh, I'm busy.
LEON: I understand. You can't disturb Claude when he's busy!
CLAUDE: Heh, heh....
BOWMAN: If you don't want to help, you can tell us...
CLAUDE: FINE!! I really HATE plumbing!...
BOWMAN: Now, was that so hard?
CLAUDE: ...No....
LEON: Let's go. We have work which needs to be finished.
CHAPTER 2:
CLAUDE: ... And they asked me to help!
RENA: Really? What did you say?
CLAUDE: ... I was busy....
RENA: C'mon, Claude! Nobody falls for that anymore! When you say "I'm busy,"
it always means that "You're lazy!"
CLAUDE: Well, they certainly didn't believe me.
RENA: In such a situation, it's best to tell the truth, then run the other
way.
CLAUDE: Hmmm....
Chisato enters the room....
CHISATO: Hello, everyone. Say, Claude, would you mind...
CLAUDE: NO THANKS!! (runs away)
CHISATO: ????
RENA: I think Claude took my suggestion a little TOO far....
CHISATO: Claude?....

BOWMAN: (whistle, whistle)
ASHTON: (whistle, whistle)
LEON: (whistle, whistle)
BOWMAN: ... Put this piece here, that piece there....
ASHTON: Almost... almost....
BING!!
ASHTON: Oops, a leak!!
BOWMAN: Well, close it!
ASHTON: I can't!
GYORO and URURUN: Awrk, awrk, awroo, awrk, awroo!!....
LEON: Uh, oh....
Another leak sprung.
BOWMAN: C'mon, plug up the holes!
Bowman grabs each of the dragon heads and puts their mouths over the holes.
LEON: Better....
ASHTON: Uh, oh....
The dragons couldn't take drinking so much water. Each of their heads was
blown away from their respective holes, and Ashton was spinning around while
the dragons spurted water, sprinkler style.
GYORO and URURUN: Awrk... awroo... awrk....
DIAS: Well, I really have to go to the...
ASHTON: Sorry, but nothing's in working order just now....
DIAS: Doh! I can't wait much longer! I'll BURST!!!!
LEON: ....
BOWMAN: Sorry, son, but we're trying...
All three give nervous smiles to Dias.
CHAPTER 4:
CLAUDE: (whistle, whistle)....
Dias comes running around the corner.
CLAUDE: Oh, hello, Dias.
DIAS: Claude! There you are! I need to ask you a favor...
CLAUDE: Sorry, no time! (runs away)
DIAS: ????
Dias watches Claude run away.
DIAS: OK, OK, where should I go?
Dias begins walking in a strange way....
DIAS: Whoo - boy, I'd better find a bathroom quick, or I'll embarrass myself.
BYSTANDER: Look at that man! Ah, hah, ha....
CHILD: Why does that man run like that?
MOMMY: Some men are crazy. It's best to stay away from them.
CHILD: Grown - ups can be silly too? Wow!
MOMMY: ....
DIAS: (thinking) I'd better get out of here quick....
CHAPTER 5:
Nineh enters the room.
NINEH: How's it coming, guys?
The room is flooded with water and steam; water's spurting everywhere....
ASHTON: WE HAVE PROBLEMS! I REPEAT, WE HAVE PROBLEMS!!!!
LEON: I wanna go home! It's too wet!
BOWMAN: ....
NINEH: !!!!
BOWMAN: Heh, heh....
NINEH: WHAT'S THIS!!??

DIAS: AAAAAARGH!!!!
CHILD: Eeew....
BYSTANDER: Mwa, ha, ha....
MOTHER: A discrace!
DIAS: Aaah, much better. Now, to get clean....

the side.

Claude is walking by. The vendor spots him.
VENDOR: Hey, you!
CLAUDE: Me?
VENDOR: Yes, you!
CLAUDE: What is it?
VENDOR: Would you mind doing me a favor?
