Dinosaur Delirium
Episode Synopsis:
Carmen tries to create her own dinosaur with stolen DNA and dinosaur bones.
Screencaps:
Guard 1: {Looks like you're having trouble, ma'am. I'm sure we can help.}
Guard 2: {That's a pretty bad puncture...}
Carmen: {I don't know how this happened.}
Carmen: Sorry you weren't in all the fun, Player.
Player: The fun's just begun, Carmen. I know I can catch you this time.
Carmen: Not if I gave you a 200-million-year head start!
Zack: Hm. Not a bad time, Ivy.
Ivy: Not bad? Gimme that! You know, if you did this workout, I'd put my money on the dummy!
Zack. Huh. What do you have to say about that?
Merchant: *says something in Hindi*
Ivy: Uh...sorry. Zack's the one who speaks Hindi.
Merchant: Ah, I speak English as well. I am Shotu.
Ivy: Hey.
Zack: Listen...what's that noise? The four Mil-MI 26s! What's in that direction, Shotu?
Shotu: It is the Taj Mahal, arguably India's most famous landmark.
Zack: Let's rock!
Shotu: I know all the shortcuts. Allow me to show you.
Ivy: Hm.
Zack: Well, what have we got to lose? Alright, put your feet to the street, Shotu!
Ivy: And hurry, they're getting away!
Shotu: Sorry. I cannot disturb this cow. They are sacred creatures in India. We always give them the right of way.
Ivy: Oh, no.
Zack: Oh, great. Held hostage by 1200 pounds of hamburger.
Shotu: But, I said I knew shortcuts, did I not?
Ivy: The choppers are circling! Whatever Carmen's after must be inside the Taj Mahal!
Zack: What could they be after? This place is a tomb!
Shotu: It is made of white marble. Perhaps these semiprecious stones encrusted are--
Zack and Shotu: Huh?
Zack: Forget the walls, Shotu! Carmen's after the roof!
Ivy: There's the stairs!
Shotu: I will send you a bill for the pedicab ride!
Ivy: Quick, get the cables on halt!
Zack: Ack! Ah! Oh man! Ivy, I'm stuck!
Ivy: I'm coming, Zack!
Clayton Duri: Ach, it's those Acme detectives! Take the controls! Get them, men!
Zack: Uh oh! Looks like Clayton Duri doesn't like hitchhikers!
*Clayton Duri and Carmen's henchmen approach*
Zack: Ivy, I don't think I'm having fun yet!
Zack: Well sis, any brilliant ideas now?
Ivy: If the locals can swim in the Ganges with their clothes on, then we can definitely swim in the Yumonah River--down there--with ours!
Zack: Are you crazy?!
Zack and Ivy: Whoa!
Clayton Duri: And all I wanted to do was give them Carmen's clue!
Zack: When you jump into a river, you kinda expect to hit water and not--what is this stuff?
Ivy: Native Indian spices. I'm in coriander--yup, you're in cumen. Perfect for making those spicy dishes they love here in India.
Zack: Excuse me, sir.
Merchant: {Ah, you have come to sample my wares.}
Zack: {Please. we need that box.}
Merchant: {This box is too special to sell.}
Ivy: Zack, tell him we'll pay him 50 rupees for it, no more, not less.
Zack: Ivy, you'll insult him if you don't haggle over a price. I'll show you how it's done. {I'm sure we can reach a bargain. I'm a very good customer.}
Merchant: {Exactly how good?} (50 rupees = $1.10 US. No wonder the merchant would be insulted.)
Zack: Hey hey, Ivy!
Ivy: Huh? What? Hold it right there! A dhurri rug, a teapot, five silk scarves, and ten pounds of Indian coffee--you didn't haggle, Zack, you bought everything he had!
Zack: Hey, at least I got the box.
Ivy: Gimme that!
Carmen: Follow Hillary's route to the hill. Follow Hillary's route to the hill.
Chief: Get this--the scientists whose computer disks Carmen stole were also doing dinosaur research!
Zack: Dinosaur research?
Chief: Dinosaur research, what is there, an echo in here?
Ivy: Zack! What if Carmen was going to use the Taj Mahal dome for a giant cage and the genetic research to recreate--
Zack: --a dinosaur!
Chief: The stolen research proves that it's highly unlikely, but not out of the question--it's crazy, but it just might work--to find minute particles of dinosaur genes deep in the marrow of well-preserved bones.
Zack: And with Carmen's high-tech equipment, who knows what she's capable of!
Ivy: So if she got ahold of some dinosaur genes and spliced onto them--
Zack: Whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa. Ivy, we're talking about making a dinosaur. No one can really do that.
Ivy: You know it and I know it, but that doesn't mean Carmen might not try it, Zack!
Zack: Ivy, the Smithsonian's in Washington, DC!
Ivy: Yeah?
Zack: Carmen's clue said, "Follow Hillary's route to the hill," it's Capitol Hill!
Ivy: What was that?
Zack and Ivy: Ah!
Carmen: Well, well. What took you?
Zack and Ivy: Huh?
Carmen: I would've been crushed if you'd missed my greatest theft ever. With everything I've stolen, I'm going to have my own dinosaur.
Ivy: No one can do that!
Carmen: No one but Carmen Sandiego.
Henchman: No clue this time, kids.
Zack: Ah, next time let's visit the Smithsonian when it's open.
Ivy: Look, getting locked in the storage room by Carmen's henchmen isn't my idea of a party, either.
Zack: It looks like she could make an army of dinosaurs here.
Carmen: I got my inspiration from the beautiful Komodo dragons on this island. But now, I'd like something in a larger size, Doctor. With this genetic research and my advanced technology, I want you to make me my own dinosaur.
Doctor: I'll do what I can, but Carmen...
Carmen: Do it. Please.
Ivy: Now!
Zack: You get the disks, I'll work out an escape!
Ivy: Yes! Huh?
Clayton Duri: Access denied.
Ivy: Yeah, but it looks like I've found the password.
Carmen: I leave you clues to even the odds a little, detectives. But this time your presence was not requested!
Ivy: Give up, Carmen. We've got you.
Zack and Ivy: *gasp*
Carmen: Correction. I've got you.
Police: The island is surrounded, Carmen Sandiego! Give yourself up! There is no escape!
Zack: Think again, Carmen! You can't--what? How did she do that?
Zack and Ivy: Huh?
Ivy: Duck!
Zack: This island is surrounded by ships and aircraft! You won't get far in that little helicopter!
Carmen: *laughs*
*Carmen escapes*
Zack: But we had her for sure this time, Ivy.
Ivy: Maybe next time, little bro. But meanwhile, look at the bright side. We got everything back and, hey, we didn't get eaten.
Player: Carmen, you never could have made a dinosaur.
Carmen: You never know what you can do unless you try, Player. That's why you always come after me when you know you'll never catch me. See you next crime.
