Buzzer: ALL RIGHT, TRAINEES.

YOU'VE GOT WORK TO DO IF YOU EXPECT TO JOIN COBRA'S ARMY.

NO, NO, NO, ME BOY! THAT WILL NEVER DO!

HERE, WATCH!

DESTROY THE FOUNDATION,

AND THE REST COMES TUMBLING DOWN.

ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT!

STOP! YOU WANT RESULTS?

USE TRACER AMMO, LIKE THIS!

THIS IS PLASTIC EXPLOSIVE.

CATCH!

BY ITSELF, NOTHING HAPPENS.

BUT IF YOU ADD A DETONATING DEVICE, AND SET THE TIMER...

WATCH OUT!

Storm Shadow: TO BE A NINJA WARRIOR,

YOU MUST HAVE PERFECT BALANCE.

DO AS I DO.

[ TRAINEES GROANING ]

RISE. TRY AGAIN.

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! WE CAN'T DO THAT!

Buzzer: WHO'D WANT TO?

HEH! YOU LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF BLOOMIN' STORKS!

YOU WANT TO LEARN SOME REAL TRICKS, COME WITH US.

THIS OLD, UNUSED TANK'LL DO.

GO TO IT, BUZZER.

GLADLY, MATE.

HERE, NOW. LOOK AT RIPPER.

Man: IMPOSSIBLE! LIKE IT WAS A SARDINE!

YOU'VE HAD YOUR FUN, LADS. MY TURN NOW.

WITH OUR WEAPONS, WE DREADNOKS ARE UNBEATABLE.

ANYONE CAN USE A WEAPON, BUT THE NINJA IS A WEAPON.

BEHOLD!

HYAH!

HYAH!

HE'S NOT SO TOUGH.

BLIMEY!

Cobra Commander: AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY.

OF THE NINJA'S POWER, YES.

BUT THE DREADNOKS ARE USELESS.

THEIR ONLY LOYALTY

IS TO THE GOLD THEIR SNIVELING MASTER ZARTAN PAYS THEM.

ZARTAN AND THE DREADNOKS ARE FAR MORE LOYAL

AND VALUABLE TO ME THAN YOU ARE, DESTRO.

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT, COMMANDER?

THEY ARE FOOLS!

GREETINGS, DESTRO.

WHAT?

BUT IF YOU'RE IN HERE, COMMANDER, THEN WHO...

VERY CONVINCING, ZARTAN.

WHO PLAYS THE FOOL NOW, DESTRO?

ONE DAY, ZARTAN, YOU WILL PUSH ME TOO FAR!

ENOUGH OF THIS BICKERING.

THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS.

THIS IS THE WORLDWIDE DEFENSE CENTER.

THEIR GOAL IS TO END TERRORISM.

I AM ALREADY WELL AWARE OF IT.

SCIENTISTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD HAVE GATHERED

TO FEED ALL THEIR INFORMATION ABOUT TERRORISM

INTO THE DEFENSE CENTER'S COMPUTERS.

THAT COULD THREATEN COBRA'S VERY EXISTENCE.

HAVE THEY FINISHED PROGRAMMING YET?

NO.

THEY STILL AWAIT THE ARRIVAL OF DR. METTIER OF FRANCE.

WE MUST ACT NOW.

ZARTAN, IS YOUR PLAN READY?

OF COURSE, COBRA COMMANDER.

YOU'D ENTRUST SUCH A VITAL MISSION TO HIM?

[ GROWLS ]

STOP! WE HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE!

GO, ZARTAN! AND DO NOT FAIL COBRA!

[ French accent ] BRING MY CAR AROUND, PLEASE, AND HURRY.

I'M -- I'M VERY LATE FOR MY CONFERENCE.

MON DIEU!

[ TIRES SCREECH ]

AAAH!

WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?

I DO NOT WANT YOU, DR. METTIER.

[ As Dr. Mettier ] I WANT YOUR IDENTITY.

AND NOW, MY DEAR DOCTOR, I MUST BID YOU AU REVOIR.

Spirit: FREEDOM!

[ FREEDOM SHRIEKS ]

STAY WITH ME, FREEDOM.

I THOUGHT I'D CHECK IN WITH YOU, SPIRIT.

HAS EVERYONE ARRIVED YET?

ALL BUT ONE, LADY JAYE.

DR. METTIER SHOULD ARRIVE SOON.

THE JOES ARE STANDING BY IF YOU NEED US.

I'LL CALL YOU AGAIN LATER.

Man: PLEASE PLACE YOUR HAND ON THE SCREEN.

THANK YOU, DR. METTIER. ENTER.

WE'LL RENDEZVOUS INSIDE THE BUILDING.

PLEASE WAIT WHILE WE SCAN FOR CONCEALED WEAPONS.

WELCOME TO THE WORLDWIDE DEFENSE CENTER.

EMIL! GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

UH, YES, GOOD TO SEE YOU, TOO.

WELCOME, DR. METTIER.

HAVE YOU THE TAPES IN YOUR BRIEFCASE?

YES -- ALL THE ACCUMULATED INFORMATION

ABOUT TERRORIST ACTIVITIES THAT MY COUNTRY POSSESSES.

I TURN THEM OVER TO YOU.

AHA! CAUGHT YOU!

I-I BEG YOUR PARDON?

[ LAUGHS ]

LAST YEAR YOU SAID YOU'D NEVER WEAR A DIGITAL WATCH,

AND I SAID YOU WOULD.

UH, YES. I-I HAD FORGOTTEN.

EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

[ SHRIEKS ]

I AM SUSPICIOUS, TOO, FREEDOM.

THERE IS SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT DR. METTIER.

EXCELLENT. GIVE ME THE BOMB.

SO, STORM SHADOW.

STILL YOU SERVE THE EVIL OF COBRA.

DON'T LET HIM SOUND THE ALARM!

[ FREEDOM SHRIEKS ]

Zartan: BACK-UP CONTROL ROOM! PERFECT!

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

IN 35 MINUTES,

THIS DEFENSE CENTER WILL BE NOTHING [LAUGHS]

BUT A SMOKING CRATER.

[ FREEDOM SHRIEKS ]

GO, FREEDOM! GET HELP!

HAH!

DEAR ME! I'D BETTER LET HIM OUT!

[ FREEDOM SHRIEKS ]

Lady Jaye: YOUR TURN, GUNG-HO.

AND REMEMBER, THE LOSER MAKES DINNER.

I WIN.

Stalker: WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR, LADY JAYE?

HE'LL MAKE US EAT THAT HOMEMADE CAJUN GUMBO OF HIS.

YEAH. LAST TIME WE USED IT TO FUEL THE SkyStrikers.

GUMBO BUILDS MUSCLES, RIGHT, DOC?

WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY GIVEN YOU A CAST-IRON STOMACH.

[ LAUGHTER ]

FREEDOM, WHAT'S WRONG!

SPIRIT MUST BE IN TROUBLE.

TO THE DEFENSE CENTER, ON THE DOUBLE!

YO-O-O, JOE!

I MUST PUT AN END TO THIS FIGHTING

OR WE WILL BOTH BE DESTROYED.

DESTROYED? HOW?

[ GROANS ]

YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO INTERFERE, ZARTAN!

DON'T BE A FOOL, STORM SHADOW.

THE BOMB IS SET TO GO OFF.

GET RID OF HIM.

EMIL, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

I-I, UH, REALLY MUST GO.

PLEASE, REMAIN WHERE YOU ARE!

WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION!

[ SCIENTISTS MURMURING ]

THAT MAN IN THE CORNER. LOOK.

IT'S ZARTAN! NOW I KNOW WE'VE GOT TROUBLE.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH SPIRIT?

I'M YOUR PRISONER. TAKE ME AWAY.

NO PROBLEM. THEY GOT A CELL HERE.

NO! TAKE ME TO THE G.I. JOE PRISON!

I DEMAND IT!

HMM. YOU SEEM AWFULLY EAGER TO GO TO PRISON.

YES. THAT'S THE STRANGEST DEMAND I'VE EVER HEARD.

WHAT'S SO INTERESTING ABOUT THIS WATCH?

IT'S A COUNTDOWN. FOR WHAT?

TALK!

I'VE PLANTED A BOMB THAT WILL DESTROY THE DEFENSE CENTER.

BUT YOU'LL NEVER FIND IT IN TIME.

GUNG-HO, TAKE ZARTAN TO THE CELL.

DOC, RECONDO, STALKER, FIND THAT BOMB.

FREEDOM, GO FIND SPIRIT!

YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE IN ONE PIECE,

START TALKIN', CREEP.

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME.

YOU'RE WEAKLINGS.

YOU WON'T LET ME DIE HERE.

OH, YEAH?

WELL, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THIS.

WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND, JUST HOLLER.

SO, THEY HAVE KIDNAPPED YOU, AS WELL, MON AMI.

NOW, WHERE IS ZARTAN?

HE WAS IN THE BUILDING WHEN THE G.I. JOES ARRIVED.

UGH, THAT'S TERRIBLE.

-YEAH. -WHO'S GONNA PAY US?

COBRA WILL SEE THAT YOU GET YOUR GOLD.

GUARD THE PRISONERS.

DESTRO, STORM SHADOW, FOLLOW ME.

SHALL I ATTEMPT TO RESCUE ZARTAN?

HE IS SO CLEVER [LAUGHS] LET HIM ESCAPE ON HIS OWN.

STALKER, REPORT.

I'M STILL LOOKING.

Doc, come in. Have you found anything?

NOT YET, LADY JAYE.

AND THERE ARE A LOT OF HIDING PLACES.

Recondo, what's your situation?

NO LUCK. I'M GOING ON TO THE NEXT ROOM.

Gung-Ho, where are you now?

IN THE KITCHEN.

BUT THERE'S NOTHIN' COOKING HERE.

WELL, AT LEAST THE SCIENTISTS ARE OUT OF THE BUILDING.

I'M GOING TO CHECK THE MICROFILM ROOM.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN? WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

THEY'LL KILL US!

OI, LADS. DID YOU HEAR THAT?

THEY SOUND SO SCARED!

RIGHT, THEN LET'S CHEER 'EM UP.

FIRST, WE MAKE THE CELL AIRTIGHT.

THEN WE GIVE 'EM A BIT OF LAUGHING GAS.

[ BOTH LAUGH ]

I'M LAUGHING SO HARD IT HURTS!

I CAN'T STOP!

[ LAUGHTER CONTINUES ]

WHAT A GAS!

RIGHT! THEY'LL LAUGH THEMSELVES TO DEATH.

[ DREADNOKS LAUGH ]

Lady Jaye: IT'S NO USE.

LET'S GRAB ZARTAN AND GET OUT OF HERE

BEFORE THE BOMB GOES OFF.

UH, GIVE ME A FEW SECONDS.

I'M EXPECTIN' SOMETHING.

SOMETHING BESIDES THE EXPLOSION, I HOPE.

I'LL TELL! I'LL TELL!

G.I. JOES, GET ME OUT OF HERE!

OKAY, CREEP, WHERE IS IT?

THE BACKUP CONTROL ROOM!

THIRD PANEL FROM THE LEFT! HURRY!

-MOVE IT! -WAIT!

TAKE ME WITH YOU!

THEY'LL NEVER MAKE IT. I'M DOOMED.

[ SPIRIT AND DR. METTIER LAUGHING ]

GET OUT!

IF I FIND YOU HERE AGAIN, YOU SHALL PAY DEARLY.

NOBLE ENEMIES SHOULD NOT BE TREATED IN THIS FASHION.

THEY'RE TOO LATE!

IMPOSSIBLE. MY BOMBS NEVER FAIL.

Lady Jaye: THERE IT IS. GET IT.

[ GRUNTS ]

Recondo: THIS WIRE SHOULD DO IT.

UH, WRONG WIRE.

I WISH YOU HADN'T SAID THAT.

SO DO I. [ SIGHS ]

I DON'T GET IT.

THE TIMER ON THIS BOMB

WAS TWO MINUTES SLOWER THAN ZARTAN'S WATCH.

OH, THAT?

I JUST SET ZARTAN'S WATCH TWO MINUTES AHEAD.

I FIGURED HIS NERVE WOULD GIVE OUT BEFORE OURS.

[ LAUGHTER ]

I THINK ZARTAN HAS FIGURED IT OUT.

I'D BETTER GO CHECK ON HIM.

Cobra Commander: NO!

ZARTAN HAS FAILED!

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?

I WANT THAT BUILDING DESTROYED!

COBRA!

I CAN WAIT NO LONGER. MY FRIENDS ARE IN DANGER.

BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?

THEY TOOK ALL YOUR WEAPONS.

THEY DID NOT FIND THIS.

SPIRITS OF MY FATHERS, GUIDE MY HAND.

ZARTAN?

WHERE COULD HE... ZARTAN?

ZAR--

SWEET DREAMS, LITTLE MAN.

THIS WILL BRING THEM RUNNING.

SOMEONE'S TAMPERING WITH THE POWER.

AND DOC HASN'T COME BACK.

GUNG-HO, RECONDO, GO CHECK ON DOC.

STALKER AND I WILL GO TO THE POWER ROOM.

Spirit: HURRY, DOCTOR.

ALL RIGHT, HERE WE...

Storm Shadow: THAT WAS ONLY A WARNING, SPIRIT.

TURN BACK.

NO.

FREEDOM!

WE SHALL MEET AGAIN, SPIRIT.

WE SHALL MEET AGAIN.

LUCKY THING I CARRY THESE FLARES.

Zartan: THEY WON'T HELP YOU.

FOOLS, I'M OVER HERE!

YOU'LL NEVER FIND ME IN THE SHADOWS!

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.

NO, DON'T!

[ LADY JAYE GROANS ]

LADY JAYE? LADY JAYE!

IF YOU'VE HURT HER, ZARTAN...

[ ZARTAN LAUGHS ]

LET'S HOPE THERE'S ENOUGH AUXILIARY POWER

TO GIVE YOU A BIG SURPRISE.

NO!

STOP IT!

LADY JAYE, ARE YOU HURT?

I'M -- I'M ALL RIGHT.

HE HIT ME FROM BEHIND.

I HATE THE SUNLIGHT!

I HATE IT!

IF I HAD YOUR COMPLEXION, SO WOULD I.

GOOD WORK, TEAM.

GUESS WE CAN FINALLY BREATHE EASY.

HIT THE DECK!

Lady Jaye: IT'S COBRA!

ZARTAN'S GONE.

FORGET HIM. LET'S GET THOSE SNAKES!

SPLIT UP!

YOU DOWN THERE, USE YOUR TRACERS LIKE I TAUGHT YOU!

Torch: DESTROY THE FOUNDATION, AND THE REST COMES TUMBLING DOWN.

COVER ME!

THAT'S WHAT I CALL THE FOOT-IN-MOUTH MANEUVER.

DUCK!

HOLD THAT POSE!

AAAAAH!

SAY YOUR PRAYERS, YANK!

NOW I LAY YOU DOWN TO SLEEP!

Doc: BOY, IS HE GONNA FEEL DUMB

WHEN HE REALIZES I PULLED HIS DETONATOR.

WELL, WHAT A NICE BIT OF FLUFF YOU ARE!

THIS BIT OF FLUFF BITES!

YO-O-O, JOE!

Doc: LADY JAYE, WE'RE OUTNUMBERED.

GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT!

Spirit!

YAHOO! GO GET 'EM!

DESTRO, GET ME OUT OF HERE!

DON'T PANIC, COMMANDER!

RETREAT! RETREAT!

TIME TO GET OUT OF HERE, LADS!

NOT WITHOUT ME!

NOW THAT COBRA'S DONE WITH,

LET'S GET DOWN TO SERIOUS BUSINESS --

MAKIN' CAJUN GUMBO!

AH, CAJUN GUMBO! A TRUE AMERICAN DELICACY!

AT LAST -- A MAN WITH GOOD TASTE.

FREEDOM, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE MY SHARE OF THAT GUMBO?

[ LAUGHTER ]
