Boyhood's End, Part One
Episode Synopsis:
Part 1 of 2. Ivy gets paired up with Acme detective Lee Jordan.
Zack: See anything, Ivy?
Ivy: Uh, nothing yet, little bro. But I know Carmen's hiding somewhere nearby.
Zack: Ah, let's face it, Ive. She stole King Tut's sarcophagus over 12 hours ago! She's probably not in the Mideast anymore!
Ivy: She couldn't just vanish into thin air like the Cairo police claimed! Wanna bet she's tunneled into some sand dune waiting for--huh? Zack, the oasis!
Zack: Huh? She hid in the oasis! Brilliant!
Carmen: I don't pick up hitchhikers!
Ivy: Give up, Carmen! Your engine took on water!
Zack: And you can't escape with all of us onboard!
Carmen: I can clear up both those problems at once, Zack!
Carmen: Well, well, well. Acme's own Indiana Jones is on the case.
Lee Jordan: What's a smart detective like you hanging around a place like this, anyway?
Ivy: Don't be cute! If you're gonna help me, help!
Lee Jordan: Ha, ha, ha! Lee Jordan! So, tell me, what do you think of me so far?
Ivy: Oh, brother.
Player: Lee Jordan is the best Acme detective in the history of Acme. Your days are numbered now, Carmen.
Carmen: Correction, Player. I was the greatest detective in the history of Acme. And I'm about to teach him a trick or two, if he's as willing to follow my lead as I think.
Ivy: Player, quick, if Carmen had continued in the same direction where would another 541 miles have taken her?
Lee Jordan: Ivy, I could kiss you!
Ivy: Uh huh, dream on, Lee. I never kiss on the first case.
Lee Jordan: So, you came looking for a masterpiece tonight, Carmen?
Carmen: Oh, I've got the masterpiece. But actually, I'm more interested in a work in progress.
Lee Jordan: What's that mean?
Carmen: I think you already know...don't you Lee?
Ivy: Get her, Lee!
Lee Jordan: I told you to wait back there! Get out!
Ivy: No! She's getting away!
Lee Jordan: I'll handle this!
Ivy: It's my case, hotshot!
Carmen: Next time you take the metro, I suggest you ride in the train. Even with this clue, it'll take an oracle to figure out what I'm up to.
Lee Jordan: I can't believe you made me lose her!
Ivy: Excuse me? I made you lose her? This is my case! And I'd think you remember that.
Lee Jordan: And you'd remember who's the only Acme detective to ever capture Carmen.
Ivy: Oh!
Lee Jordan: All you have to do is help me find her. What I do after that, you're better off not having anything to do with.
Ivy: I've got a bad feeling about this.
Ivy: Okay, okay! It's not Alexander the Great himself. Not the countries he conquered--
Lee Jordan: Not the stone it's made out of, not the artist who cut it, so--what's the connection?!
Ivy: I don't know! If I did, do you think we'd still be sitting here seven hours later?!
Lee Jordan: Okay, let's start at the beginning again and see if we missed anything.
Lee Jordan: Nothing new. I'm right back where I started!
Ivy: You're not the only one on this case.
Lee Jordan: Hey, I might as well be for all your addling!
Ivy: I need some fresh air.
Lee Jordan: Player, scan Carmen's early years at Acme.
Chief: At age 17, Carmen solved more cases than any detective ever!
Lee Jordan: No! Bring up two more windows and cross-check her first Acme case with her last heist! And cross-reference all three stolen items again! I need more information! Scroll faster!
*various Acme and VILE cases fly by in the pink screens*
Lee Jordan: I WILL find you!
Ivy: Lee?
Lee Jordan: Our next meeting will end very differently, Carmen. I'm the best there ever was!
Ivy: Zack, I'm telling you, my new partner's coming apart at the seams!
Zack: You think you've got problems? This whole computer system at the Pentagon was broken into by some nut on a payphone! I nearly had everything back online when a call from somewhere in Europe crashed the system again!
Ivy: Yeah. Look, Zack, Carmen gave us this statue of Alexander the Great and Lee and I are at a total dead end!
Zack: Did Carmen say anything?
Ivy: Well, uh, something like, "You'll need an oracle to figure out what I'm up to."
Lee Jordan: [Excuse me, have you seen a lady in red?]
Security Guard: [Yeah, *says something about Carmen being near the temple grounds*]
Ivy: What'd he say?
Lee Jordan: He said, um, he hasn't seen anyone, and that it looks like rain. You know, I think we should probably split up, Carmen could be anywhere!
*Ivy's communicator beeps*
Ivy: Go ahead, Zack.
Zack: Ivy, you're not going to believe this, but we just tracked the hacker who broke into the system to a phone booth in Palermo, Sicily!
Ivy: Wait a minute! Lee and I were in Palermo!
Zack: Well whoever did it is really good. They knew how to use some pretty sophisticated equipment.
Ivy: Zack, what does kokunine, yenecha, donahone mean?
Zack: Ah, it means like red and lady temple something.
Ivy: I knew it! Zack, I think Lee's the one who made that phone call and screwed up the Pentagon system!
Zack: Why would he do that?
Ivy: We were hot on Carmen's trail, he wanted in on our case and needed you out! I need you right now, little bro.
Carmen: We meet again, Lee Jordan.
Lee Jordan: The best meets the best, eh, Carmen?
Carmen: You're almost out of time, Lee.
Lee Jordan: No, Carmen. It IS time!
Carmen: You're good, Lee. But I'm better. I always was. And I always will be. But look on the bright side. If you don't catch me, that challenge is still available to you. If you do catch me, why, what's left for you?
Lee Jordan: This time won't be like the last time, Carmen!
Carmen: Ah!
Lee Jordan: I've got you!
Carmen: No, detective. I've got you.
Chief: To be continued! Don't you hate it?
