King Dedede's Plan/Setting Up The Gallows/Transcript

This is the transcript of Mario Hood Part 11.

(We fade to where it is raining at night at King Dedede's castle. Thunder is rumbling. We zoom up to where light is coming from the room. We are now inside the room with King Dedede and Escargoon. King Dedede is in his chair being very angry)

Escargoon: Ahem. Uh, sire, if I may...may venture an opinion, you're not your usual cheerful, genial self today.

(King Dedede still glares and grits his teeth. Escargoon did not know what to do. Then he had an idea)

Escargoon: Oh, I know. You haven't counted your money for days, hmm? Why, it always makes you so happy.

(He shows him by flipping some coins, but it didn't seem to comfort Dedede)

Escargoon: Ahem. Sire, taxes are pouring in. The jail is full, and...oh! I've got good news, sire. Meta Knight's in jail.

King Dedede: (Angrily) META KNIGHT!? (Throws the coins everywhere, startling Escargoon) It's Mario I want, you idiot! Oh! I'd give my gold if I could just get my hands...oh! (Realizing what Escargoon said) Hey, wait a minute. Did you just say "Meta Knight?"

Escargoon: Oh, I did, didn't I? Oh, why, yes I did.

King Dedede: Ah-ha! I've got it, Escargoon! I'll use Meta Knight as bait in order to trap Mario.

Escargoon: Another trap?

King Dedede: Yes, you stupid slug. Meta Knight will be to the gallows in the village square, don't you see?

Escargoon: But sire, hang Meta Knight? The guy at the church?

King Dedede: Why, yes, my reluctant mollusk. And when our elusive red-capped hero tried to rescue the corpulent masked swordsman...(Laughs)...my army will be ready. Ha, ha, ha.

(Thunder rumbles from outside his window)
