But you know I work nights.

You should've been Home in bed hours ago.

And walk out on the biker zombies From wormwood creek movie marathon?

Not in this universe!

I wouldn't miss the scene where The chain-sawing cannibals

Beg for mercy from The slimy mutant slug.

Gee, this popcorn isn't half as Tasty as it was a second ago.

You're just lucky it's Been such a quiet night.

Hang on!

Laser fusion yo-yos,

Ion spinning jump ropes,

Particle beam fuzzy bears.

Economical electric cars,

Micron solar cells,

Zillion-watt light bulbs With lifetime guarantees.

But traveling through time

Could put a hole in the Space-time continuum.

Wreak havoc with history

And abnormally change the past, Present, and future forever!

Actually, it sounds kind of fun.

They're getting away! Where's dad?

Ah, gee, d.W.,

Maybe next time we Could just use the door.

And ruin a great entrance?

This ought to slow 'em Down until dad gets here.

About time.

Listen, gomer, Wouldn't frying be more fun

With a plasma-powered Skillet from the future?

Well, what are we waiting for?

The future awaits!

I hope this holds.

Approaching with stylish, Yet careful caution,

The midnight mallard Maneuvers mysteriously

Towards the manglers of justice.

Come on, dad. Speed it up.

Oh, no! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Now the duck of Doom prepares to...

Who cares? This is the future.

And it's play time!

Looks like the "Aye's" have it.

No fair. He always sides with you.

Whoa! Check it out.

He does that to jaywalkers?

And you thought your insurance Premiums were high now.

What would he do To real criminals?

Let's not stick around to find Out, scout.

Back to the time top!

Maybe dad's just Having a bad day.

A really bad day.

Some respect for traffic laws.

He did it. He did it.

I was only a passenger. He was driving.

Nonsense. I couldn't possibly drive.

I don't have a license.

They're both guilty, But I was taken against my will.

How could you blame me?

Because it's your Fault, fly boy.

Dad needs a major Attitude adjustment.

He sounds more like a Bad guy than a good guy.

What? Where'd everything go?

[ humming ]

Launchpad!

Gosalyn!

It sure is good to See a friendly face.

Whoa! D.W. Always said junk Food would stunt your growth,

But I thought you'd Be a little taller.

Where've you been All these years?

I haven't been anywhere.

I got stuck on Quackerjack's time top

And ended up here in the future.

This is the future?

Not you you, it isn't, But for me it is.

What's going on around here?

The city looks like it's Just been washed and waxed,

The streets are deserted,

And dad's acting like "No brain the barbarian."

I slip away for a Couple of decades

And the whole town Goes down the tubes.

And how come you're Not with darkwing?

That's dark warrior, kiddo,

And, well, you see, I'm not his sidekick anymore.

Well, how come? What happened?

Well, I guess you happened.

Or didn't happen.

You see, d.W. Thought you ran away

Because he wouldn't Let you help him.

I tried to get him Interested in his work again

But, it was no use.

Slice him and dice him.

He was all washed up.

But one day everything Turned around for him.

Hyah!

He rediscovered his purpose.

To protect st. Canard from the forces of evil.

It was time to get tough. Really tough.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Boy, the city loved him.

He scared every crook out of st. Canard.

But d.W. Said the city was still in danger.

Cease and desist, citizen!

Eat that and your Cholesterol level is shot!

You're inviting a heart Attack, pal.

Now get home and Steam some veggies

Before I really get mad!

He wasn't darkwing duck anymore.

He was dark warrior duck.

He said I was too soft on crime.

Just because I thought We should arrest crooks

Before giving them The electric chair.

Well, I'll straighten him out Just as soon as I talk to him.

So, how do I talk to him?

Beats me.

Nobody but nobody talks To dark warrior duck.

Unless they break a law!

And I thought this Was gonna be hard.

See? Worked like a charm.

Ooh! That's what I was afraid of.

How dare they deface my face!

There he goes, Over-reacting again.

I've got you now, My little sitting ducks.

Eat missile, graffiti heads!

That'll teach those... Uuugh!

My little angel is back!

You don't know how Much I've missed you.

How 'bout a hug for Your little sidekick?

Ooh, it's you.

What's the matter?

Run out of criminals To sympathize with?

Looks like a clear Case of the 3 ds...

Defacement, destruction, And disorderly conduct.

Looks like it's the chair for You, my ex-compadre.

Will you chill out, dad? I'm the one who did it.

Nonsense. You were an innocent, Subverted by the wilds

Of a criminal mastermind.

Dad, we're talking About launchpad here.

Oh, well, that's right.

Well, perhaps I can Be lenient this time.

Boys! I'll just sentence Him to life at hard labor.

What?!

But, dad...

Now we have to get You properly attired.

Sidekick.

Oooh.

You always wanted high Explosives for your birthday,

But I gave you dolls.

Now I know you have to be tough

To face down crime.

unauthorized pedestrians at the Corner of miller and barley.

Oh, boy! Curfew violators.

Why didn't you Look at your watch?

I was playing whiffle boy. I forgot about the time.

Well, we better hurry before...

Aaaaah! Aaaaah!

Don't you know all law-abiding Citizens are in bed by now?

Sure. We were just getting a Glass of water, that's all.

Of course.

Yeah, she saw me.

8:00 bedtime... Bummer.

Sounds like dad, though.

I suppose I could let You off easy this time,

If you promise never To do it again.

Oh, no. We'd never, ever.

Never. I promise.

Trick question. Ha-ha!

No one gets off easy in st. Canard.

Take 'em away!

Protecting st. Canard is a tough job.

The old darkwing duck Couldn't hack it.

That's when dark warrior Duck came to town.

So, How do you like your uniform?

I don't think this Is gonna work out.

Of course it will.

With you as my sidekick,

The vermin of this city Won't dare twitch a whisker.

We'll hunt 'em down,

Smash their plans,

And tear 'em limb from limb.

You know, you're not getting Into the spirit of this, gos.

Dad, I can't move.

Ok, it needs a little tailoring. So sue me.

Dad, you're obsessing.

I mean you were always a Little amped on crime fighting,

But now you don't talk About anything else.

You haven't even asked Me why I haven't grown.

I assumed it was the junk food.

It was quackerjack and Megavolt's time top.

I accidentally hitched A ride to the future.

Megavolt and quackerjack here?

That's great!

Finally, a challenge!

Sure, it's important to continue My fight against tooth decay

And the people who tear the Little tags off pillows.

But real live supervillains...

Launch a full-scale search

For quackerjack and mega...

the suspects have already Been incarcerated, sir.

What? You caught them already?

But I wanted to.

shall we destroy their Vehicle, sir?

Yeah. Fine. Sure, whatever.

No! That's their time machine.

This solves everything.

They can take me back

So it'll be like I never left.

And then you won't Think I ran away

And won't go nuts.

Launchpad won't be in jail

And all of st. Canard'll go back the way it was.

Let's go.

Come on, dad.

Let me get this straight...

You want me to release Two known criminals,

Give them an incredibly Powerful vehicle,

And let them trash history

So that I, dark warrior duck,

Will never even exist?

Ah, I guess.

I don't think so.

Just think of it... A time machine

Capable of taking me Anywhere in history.

I can lock up criminals Before they commit crimes.

Banks will be safe. Drug stores will go unrobbed.

And no one will get away with Not brushing after every meal.

Ha-ha-ha-ha!

But wait! Why stop there?

I'll go back to ancient babylon,

Where laws were First written down.

Then I can make sure to Get off to a good start.

For stealing an ox, The penalty is death!

Coveting wives... Death!

Stealing grain... Death!

Tracking mud through the kitchen... Death!

Being cranky in the morning... Death!

No, no. Even better, I'll go back to the beginning

When the first protoplast Was just considering

Taking his first breath of air.

Hold it right there, pal.

Not another inch until we Get a few rules straight.

Let's figure out how to Get this baby cranking.

Pity the kid went bad.

We would've made a great team.

And I used to gripe when He sent me to my room.

What did all these people Do to get locked up?

Oh, the usual stuff...

Traffic violators, Lawyers, plumbers,

Rude supermarket clerks, Cartoon producers...

Who's that?

Mrs. Mildew.

She flunked d.W. In penmanship.

Well, at least he has some Sense of justice left.

Still, That doesn't excuse all this.

I say we bust out of here.

What's the matter? Chicken?

It's safer in here than out There with dark warrior duck.

Tell mr. Electro face that I'm still not talking to him.

He's not speaking to you.

Oh, yeah? Well, tell him I'm not the one

Who stopped the time top In a no-parking zone.

The time top... Right!

That's our ticket Out of this mess.

Ok, We all have to work together.

We can use the time top to fix Things so this never happened.

Quackerjack, can't your toy Teeth chew through these bars?

Those nasty robots Took all my toys

When they drained Megavolt of his power.

Will these do?

I gotta remember to start Flossing when I get back.

Well, here goes.

[ alarm buzzes ]

What's that?!

escape attempt, sir.

Well, Send out a squad of my robots.

I don't want to be bothered

While I'm restructuring History in my own image.

I'll charbroil him!

Oh? Really?

Boy, can't that guy take a joke?

All right, just hold it.

This isn't you.

I think that inside you're Still darkwing duck.

And you're still my dad.

I'm not afraid of Your old gas gun!

Gas gun?! I haven't used The gas gun in years!

Gulp

I should have recognized you As a bad egg from the start.

You never cleaned your room,

Never helped with the dishes,

Never did well in school.

If that isn't a list Of criminal tendencies,

I don't know what is.

There's no reason why I shouldn't Blast you into a smudge.

But I-I-I just can't do it.

Hey, no use taking chances.

I knew you couldn't do it, dad.

I'd get going if I was you.

He may be smiling now,

But he won't be When he wakes up.

Don't worry. Once I get back to my own time,

None of this will Have ever happened.

Come on, come on, come on.

Are you sure it's a good Idea to take them along?

After all, They're hardened criminals.

Maybe they should Stay locked up here.

Please, please take me.

If there's one thing This has taught me,

It's that every person deserves The benefit of a doubt.

Besides, I don't know How to drive this thing.

I don't know where you went,

But you'll be sorry You came back.

Yaaaaa!

Dark warrior?

Oh, perfect.

Gone five minutes And my own daughter

Forgets my name.

Just like she forgot she was Supposed to stay in the ratcatcher.

Launchpad!

Don't change the subject.

I have had it with You, young lady.

You are grounded for a month.

No problem, dad. That kind of justice I can handle.

Now don't argue with me. I... Do... Ah...
