THE RUTHLESS FRIEZA -- Episode 34 (US dub)
Announcer: Previously on Dragonball Z: With the fiendish Frieza capturing the last dragonball, evil minions were sent to capture anyone they found. And they found Bulma, Krillain and Gohan. While Gohan and Krillain easily disposed of them, the damage to their spaceship had been done. Elsewhere, the unscrupulous Vegeta faced a new rival intent on challenging his power, an opponent named "Kewie," who raged against Vegeta with everything he had. But to Kewie's dismay, Vegeta had grown stronger in his recent trials, and he sent Kewie to Another Dimension. Now with four dragonballs, Frieza and his henchmen have taken off for more. But will they find Krillain and the gang?
(Title Screen: THE RUTHLESS FRIEZA)
(The dragonball gang hide in their cave as many of Frieza's henchmen -- and the head honcho himself -- streak by their hideout.)
Mike: Nice high-speed variation on the diamond formation.
(As the energy trails fade in the distance, Bulma carefully sticks her head out of the cave.)
Bulma: Looks like they're gone. I'm so relieved they didn't see us hiding in here. We would have been French toast!
Crow: I bet she'd be great served with maple syrup and a little powdered sugar.
Tom: (as Hannibal Lecter) And a nice Chianti.
Bulma: They must've been heading after something else.
Tom: The great taste of Cookie Crisps!
(Krillain and Gohan are panting and grimacing, leaning heavily against the cave walls; the effect of so many high power levels right next to them.)
Bulma: What's the matter with you guys?
Krillain: (strides out of the cave, then leans over panting) Bulma... take a look at the dragon radar...
Bulma: Why?
Krillain: That concentration...it was as if a bunch of dragonballs were together...Let's just hope that's not true...
Bulma: Well, let's take a look. (She takes out the dragon radar, turns it on, and gasps.)
Mike: Why didn't one of you tell me how shiny my nose was!?
Bulma: You're right! Those people who flew by, whoever they are, they have four of the dragonballs with them!
Krillain: That's what I thought. Oh, this is bad. Real bad. Gohan! (Gohan is still in the cave, looking totally freaked.) Gohan!
Tom: Ahhhh--Swing choir practice!
(Gohan snaps out of it and runs to the others.)
Krillain: Did you see that guy flying near the front?
Gohan: Yes. (He flashes to a still picture of Frieza in his air-car). When I caught my first glimpse, I could barely move. His power level's the highest I've ever felt.
Crow: Nice picture the kid drew of the old girl.
Mike: Don't go there, Crow!
Krillain: Let's hope he's not the guy they were talking about back on that ship. Freezer or who-ever they said he was, because if so, we're in serious trouble!
Bulma: But...he can't be stronger than Vegeta, can he?
Krillain: I think he can. He seems to be really strong, he and all of his friends flying around with him. How in the world are we going to get the dragonballs away from huge guys like that?
Crow: I've got a bunch of Joseph's Coat swirls. Maybe we could trade.
Bulma: (looking again at the radar) Quick, quick, look!
Mike: These prices are outrageous!
Bulma: They're heading for another dragonball. It's like they know exactly where it is!
Krillain: Great, so they have radar, too! Which way?
Bulma: (pointing) Over there. The dragon radar says about 10 miles that way.
Gohan: That should be right around the area where Krillain sensed a Namek base camp earlier.
Krillain: Right. (He takes off his baseball cap and tosses it away.) And I should go and look into it.
Gohan: I'll go, too, Krillain.
Bulma: What! Are you guys nuts? There's no way I'm waiting here for you!
Krillain: Okay, Bulma, I guess you'll have to come face those guys with us.
Bulma: I guess I could wait here. As much as I'd like to go with you guys to keep an eye for you...
Krillain: (grinning) Okay, Bulma. (He's also removed his jacket; likewise, Gohan has stripped down to his fighting clothes).
Bulma: Now don't do anything stupid!
Krillain: Remember, Gohan; keep your power level pushed down so they can't sense us. Got it?
Gohan: Yes!
(The two push off, leaping from island to island.)
Bulma: (standing over all the cast-off clothing) Come back soon.
Mike: (as Bulma) Typical guys. Run off to save the universe, and expect the woman to pick up after 'em. Oh, well; at least it's already laundry day.
(At Kame house, Master Roshi is singing tunelessly. The camera centers on his boom box.)
Radio announcer: And here's the traffic report for Master Roshi's island...
(Roshi is looking at himself in a mirror. He's dressed up in a coat and hat, and is adjusting his tie).
Radio announcer: Clean and green in the back yard, but watch out for turtles in the south beach area.
(The camera pulls back. The pantless Roshi is wearing boxers with hearts on them. Behind him a turtle carapace is hanging in the closet next to several suits.)
Crow: Looks like the ones who need to watch out are the turtles!
Tom: Oh, great. Old geezer in boxers. With hearts on 'em. My life is now complete. So will somebody please kill me?!
Radio announcer: And your forecast; 100% chance of showers tomorrow morning.
Mike: So if you want to rinse those red stains out of your undies, hang 'em up now.
(The phone starts ringing.)
Roshi: I'm coming, I'm coming! (He picks up the phone) Roshi here. Oh, Bulma! How are things going up there. Uh-huh. What!
(Shot of the hospital Goku is in. Goku is sitting up in bed. Chi-chi is standing behind him.)
Goku: So, Doc; when do you think I can start working out again?
Chi-chi: Goku, what's wrong with you!?
Doc: I'm afraid you're going to have to rest up for at least a little while.
Goku: C'mon, Doc, I'm getting weaker by the minute sitting in this bed.
(Master Roshi pops into the room, now wearing his pants.)
Roshi: Hey, how's it going in here?
Goku: Roshi!
Roshi: Hiya, fellas. Good to see you! (Lowering his voice). Hey, is Chi-chi around here, any where?
Chi-chi: (looking out from behind the partition; crossly) Yes, as a matter of fact, she is around here.
Roshi: Oops! Well, then... hi!
(Chi-chi walks past him carrying a loaded laundry basket).
Chi-chi: (sounding threatening) Don't worry, I'll be right back.
Tom: More price-cutting at the local HMO.
Crow: Yep, it's do-your-own linens day at the hospital.
Mike: Do-your-own appendectomy day is next week.
Roshi: Whew. Touchy thing.
Tom: Don't mind if I do!
Roshi: Goku, I just got a call from Bulma a few minutes ago.
Goku: Oh, yeah? Well, how are they doing on Namek?
Roshi: Well...you know, they all arrived there safely ... but ... it seems that Vegeta has followed them there. Evidently he has healed completely, and he's even stronger than he was when he was here.
Goku: (looking determined) No way! Vegeta!
Mike: I had home room with him!
Roshi: I'm afraid it only gets worse. There's someone else there even stronger than Vegeta.
(In the foreground, the nurse looks questionably at the doctor, who makes a "don't ask" gesture with one hand.)
Roshi: Bulma also said that for right now, their space ship is all broken and unable to fly.
Goku: So they're stuck there?!
Crow: Who knew Namek was covered in fly paper?
Roshi: It seems they need help in more ways than one right now. I'm just worried about this stronger force.
Goku: It sounds bad. Someone who's even stronger than Vegeta! (He gets a mental image of a smirking Vegeta, then imagines a shadowy giant behind Vegeta).
(Yajirobe walks into the room, with accompanying "here's the idiot" organ music.)
Tom: But never mind the crisis, the circus is in town!
Mike: And here's Shakes, the lovable clown!
Yajirobe: Hey, what's going on? Goku, you look like one of those mummies. It took forever, so I hope you're grateful. This is from Karin. One complete bag of senzu beans to make you feel all better.
Goku: Oh, yeah! You can't imagine how much I need those things about right now!
Tom: I need a hit bad, man...
Crow: No pay, no play, amigo.
Mike: Really, I think these door-to-door steroid pushers have gotten a little out of hand.
Doc: Hold her there! They'll be no strange food for my patient.
Yajirobe: (taking a bean out and flipping it toward Goku) Sorry, Doc.
ALL: Ew!
Tom: When do you think he last washed his hands?
Crow: I hope Goku's had all his shots!
(Goku catches the bean in his mouth and chomps down. The doctor watches in alarm. As soon as Goku swallows, he smirks and chuckles. Then he flips out of bed.)
Goku: Yeah! (Landing by the window, he shatters all of his various casts. The doctor, nurse and other patients look on in amazement; Yajirobe and Roshi chuckle.) I've been waiting forever to get out of these dinky pajamas! (He flings his hospital robe off; it lands on the doctor's head. Goku crouches before a small cabinet and takes out his fighting uniform). And back into the uniform that King Kai gave me! Finally. And now off to planet Namek! (He walks over to Yajirobe and Roshi.) Yajirobe, thanks for getting me the beans.
Roshi: (as the doctor leans in and looks Goku up and down in astonishment) How in blue blazes are you going to get to Namek, Goku?
Tom: (mimicking the doctor) Homina-homina-homina...
Goku: When I last saw Bulma's dad, I talked to him about building a ship that would take me to Namek. (The doctor leans in again to give Goku another once-over).
Tom: Homina-homina-homina...
Goku: But he told me it would be way too difficult.
Yajirobe: Well, I guess that idea went straight down the tubes, then.
Goku: You guys are forgetting there's a ship already here on Earth that I could use if it were modified a little bit.
Roshi: What? Where?
Goku: (stepping over to the window) The ship I came here in as a baby was never destroyed. It was just in really bad shape from not being used. Bulma's dad has been working on it like crazy, and he's as good with technology as she is. I bet it's almost ready.
Mike: I just have to drop by the Kent farm and pick it up.
Roshi: Heh-heh, good thinking!
Goku: (now standing on the window ledge) Make sure you tell Chi-chi not to worry about me. Tell her I'm just going to make sure Gohan, Krillain and Bulma are all right. They're going to need help if that mystery person's power level is anywhere as high as you say it is.
Mike: Your wife's going be annoyed you went on a mystery date without her!
Tom: (as Goku) Tell Chi-chi I know between being dead an' all I haven't touched her in a couple of years, but no big deal.
Crow: (as Chi-chi) No kidding, Mr. Got-A-Second!
Goku: (yells out the window) Flying nimbus! (He turns back and flashes a "thumbs up" sign.)
Tom: Hey, backatcha, loser!
Goku: Well, wish me luck! (To the doctor's horror, he leaps out of the window. But Goku lands on the Flying Nimbus and takes off.) Here I come!
(Chi-chi is on the roof hanging up a ton of men's boxers.)
Chi-chi: What? It's Goku! What in the world...? Where do you think you're going!? (She runs to the roof's edge; behind her the boxes all flap in the wind.) Ohhhhh! And you even forgot to pack your underwear!
Mike: Is she washing the shorts of the entire ward, or what?
Tom: Well, her husband is part monkey, and those diapers leak sometimes, you know...
(In Goku's hospital ward, the doctor and nurse have collapsed in shock, and the other patients are looking out of the window in amazement.)
Tom: (druggie voice) Whoa, they give really good morphine here ... I just saw a guy flying away on a puddle of urine...
(Roshi and Yajirobe are also looking out the window).
Yajirobe: He's a little bit crazy.
Roshi: Yeah, well...
Yajirobe: Crazy! I tell you, he never looks so happy as when he's off to a battle.
Roshi: Well, he is a Saiyan by blood. That means he loves to be challenged. But don't worry, Goku's main concern is always to defend people who can't defend themselves.
Mike: Now, if you excuse me, there's a soon-to-be-widow with a lot of extra boxer shorts I have to go ingratiate myself with...
(A cheerful Goku is flying at top speed through the sky.)
Goku: I can't believe there's someone out there that's even stronger than Vegeta. I just hope Krillain and Gohan can hold things together until I arrive.
(On Namek, Krillain and Gohan are continuing to speed-hop as they race toward the village).
Krillain: Push your power level down! Keep it as low as you can!
Mike: And jump around like Jiminy Cricket!
(The Capsule Corporation on Earth: a big yellow domed building surrounded by other "Capsule Houses," the hallmark of the miniaturization process developed by Bulma and Bulma's father. A trim blond woman in a tube top and pedal pushers is dancing around the flower beds with a watering can, humming.)
Woman: La, la, la, la, la!
Crow: Oh-oh, Lolita's in the garden again!
(Goku lands in her yard)
Woman: Oh, Goku!
Goku: (brightens up) Well, hello there!
Woman: Are you finally feeling better?
Goku: (flexing a bicep) Strong as an ox! Does your husband have the space ship ready to go yet?
Woman: (giggling) Oh, dear Goku. He's still tinkering around with it a little bit.
Mike: Wait...that's Bulma's mother?
Tom: Mom is red hot!
Goku: (nearly freaking) Not done yet! (Recovering, politely). No big deal.
"So, what's that you say, Mrs. Robinson?" |
Bulma's Mom: (more giggling) Why don't we go an check on him?
Goku: (as she takes him by the arm) Okay.
Crow: So, what's that you say, Mrs. Robinson? Anything shaking?
Bulma's Mom: (she's clutching his arm; Goku is beginning to look uncomfortable) How is that adorable little Gohan of yours doing? I haven't seen him since he was just a little thing. Oh, I imagine he's so handsome now, just like his big, strong father.
Goku: He's doing fine. He's actually becoming quite a good fighter.
Bulma's Mom: Chi-chi must be angry. She's always been so protective of him, hasn't she? Golly. I haven't seen her in a while. We really must get together again and play chess; that was fun!
Tom: Especially the swapping husbands part!
Goku: Yeah, we'll...have to do that.
Bulma's Mom: (calling ahead) Sweetums, darling! Goku's dropped by to visit you. (Still more giggling).
Goku: Wow, so this is it, huh? (He looks up). It's enormous!
Mike: (high-pitched) Oh, I noticed that right away...oh, you mean the space ship. Silly me, tee-hee.
(The Saiyan space capsule is round like one of the space pods, but built on a much larger scale. It has one large door and several window ports.)
Bulma's Mom: (suddenly screaming) Honey, I said open this thing up!
(With a whir of hydraulics, the door slowly swings down. Bulma's father, with the little cat on his shoulder, comes to look out.)
Bulma's Father: Yeah, yeah ...
Mike: So, basically, Bulma was raised in a sit-com.
Crow: I'd say a high-tech version of the Ropers, myself.
Tom: Yep. This explains a lot, really.
Bulma's Father: Goku! You're looking much better!
Goku: I'm all healed and ready to go.
Mike: So's my wife. Why don't you take her out for a spin?
Goku: I was actually wondering if you're done with the space ship yet.
Bulma's Father: Still a couple of more adjustments. But come on in.
Bulma's Mom: (waving goodbye) Well, Goku, make sure you keep in touch.
Crow: Like there's any part of you he hasn't touched!
Goku: Sure, I promise.
Mike: Oh, do I promise...
(Goku walks into the space craft, and stands gawking in the door.)
Goku: What the--? It's huge!
ALL: Why, thank you!
Goku: I can't believe what you've been able to do with it!
Bulma's Father: Just hard work and a touch of elbow grease.
Goku: (walking in and looking around) It looks like it has everything that I need.
Bulma's Father: I hope so. I worked long and hard on this baby. I had to rebuild the entire thing! I had to use the old craft as my blueprint and a few key parts.
Goku: Wow, you really did an amazing job. Everything really looks like its in perfect working order.
Bulma's Father: Yep, I installed everything you asked for, even the training stuff.
Goku: Perfect. Where's the gravity machine?
Bulma's Father: (indicating a large circular machine in the middle of the craft) She's right over here.
Tom: Next to the indoor sauna?
Bulma's Father: Here's the knob that controls how much gravity you're training under. Depending on how you set it, you can go anywhere from double to one hundred times the Earth's natural gravity. Be careful you don't end up like a pancake, though.
Goku: I will. but I'll have to train under a lot of gravity before I get to Namek. Tell me, how come it's not able to fly yet?
Bulma's Father: It can fly, to anywhere in the universe you want to go.
Goku: Huh? What?
Bulma's Father: (beginning to point to amenities) And there's a kitchen down this way, and for the bathroom, follow the green glow.
Mike: "Green Glow?"
Crow: The Tidy Bowl man had a little accident with industrial chemicals. They've been trying to hush it up.
Tom: I thought it was a Marilyn Chambers movie...I mean, I wouldn't know about Marilyn Chambers movies...heh, heh...
Goku: Well, then; why isn't it finished yet?
Mike: Darned government regulations.
Bulma's Father: Well, to tell the truth, I haven't finished installing the capacinno maker yet. I just don't know where to put it.
Crow: (disgusted) Oh, this is so bogus!
Goku: (howling) What are you talking about!? I don't care about capacinno!
Mike: Got a problem, Crow?
Bulma's Father: Sure, you say that now. But wait till you wake up and you want a warm breakfast beverage to start your day off right!
Crow: This totally invalidates the entire dub! (Shouting at the screen) It's stereo speakers, not coffee! Stupid dub...
Goku: (becoming so agitated he starts running in place) Eh, eh, eh, eh...
Mike: Looks like he told Goku where the bathroom was just in time.
Goku: ...but I'm in a big hurry! I've got to get out of here as soon as possible to join the others!
Bulma's Father: Keep your pants on!
ALL: Please!
Bulma's Father: What's the big hurry?
Goku: We got a call from Bulma saying they need my help on Namek!
Bulma's Father: Hmmm.
Goku: Ah, c'mon, please teach me how to fly the space ship, please!
Bulma's Father: Are you positive that you're okay about the cappuccino machine?
Crow: Stereo speakers!
Goku: (finally stops running in place) Yes, yes!
Tom: Mike, excuse me... (He moves toward Mike)
Mike: Where are you going? You can't leave the theatre.
Tom: Oh, I'm just going to sit next to Crow. Get a different perspective.
(There's some shifting as Tom squeezes past Mike and ends up sitting on Crow's right, which leaves him half off the screen.)
Bulma's Father: Well, all the data's been entered all ready. All you have to do is (he reaches out and taps Goku on the nose) push the button and you're off to Namek.
Crow: Bad touch?
Mike: Questionable...
Bulma's Father: You should arrive there in just under six days.
Goku: Six days! That means I can definitely get there in time to help them out!
(Outside, Bulma's mom is walking along the sidewalk holding a refreshment tray, humming. The talking pig, Oolong, is chasing after her.)
Tom: (leaning close to Crow, in an undertone) So--stereo speakers, huh?
Crow: Yeah.
Tom: Does a cappuccino maker really make any substantial difference to the plot, Crow?
Crow: Well, no. But that's not the point!
Tom: "Not the point?"
Oolong: You say Goku came to visit?
Tom: (blowing up, although Mike doesn't seem to notice) I'll tell you the real point, you moron!
Bulma's Mom: Oh, yes. Now we'll finally have time to get all caught up.
Tom: I'm sick to death of your lording it over the rest of us peons because you have the comics, and we don't!
Crow: They're mangas!
Tom: Shut up!
(There's an explosive sound ahead. The ground shakes. The foam is blown off the pitcher and hits Oolong on the face as the space craft slowly lifts off.)
Tom: If you don't stop with this bloody condescending attitude every time something's just a little bit different, I'm going to tell Mike about those Dirty Pair "mangas" you have under the mattress!
Crow: (horrified) You ... you wouldn't!
Tom: Try me, beak boy!
(Inside the craft, Goku is intensely studying a small control panel.)
Goku: He said...it was this button right here... (There's a brief pause. Then Goku screams as the space ship catapults into space).
Mike: Shouldn't have had those lentils!
Tom: (in a fading voice) Tell my wife I love her very much!
Mike: (dismissively) She knows.
(Within seconds, the ship as left the Earth's atmosphere and is well on its way.)
Bulma's Father: Probably hollering for cappuccino already.
(Crow opens his beak, turns toward Tom, and closes it).
Small cat: Meooow.
Tom: Y'know, the view is actually better over there. Mike? Excuse me...
(More shifting around as Tom makes his way back to his usual seat.)
(On Namek, Krillain and Gohan are still running)
Krillain: We're close! They must be right over that ridge. Do you feel it yet?
Gohan: You bet!
(They take a couple of small hops, then crouch down.)
Gohan: Boy, I don't know, Krillain. That power feels really strong.
Krillain: And there's some other ones, too. It's coming from up there...
Mike: Charlie was close. I could feel him...
(They look at an incline that has a sharp drop-off).
"C'mon, ladies, work those thighs!" |
Krillain: Keep real low to the ground...
(Krillain and Gohan creep forward, walking close to the ground with their knees deeply bent.)
Mike: ...and lunge and lunge -- c'mon, ladies, work those thighs!
(When they reach the top, they peek over, catch a brief glimpse of three figures, and duck down again).
Krillain: Those guys look pretty nasty.
Crow: Well, the one on the end just looks pretty... Think he's seeing anyone?
Krillain: Let's sneak over there. (They walk some little distance to a new lookout, and peek out again.)
Gohan: Hey, that's our spaceship! They moved it here!
Tom: Conveniently off-screen.
Mike: Well, at least they put the windshield back together.
Krillain: I wonder what they're up to. It seems like they're looking for something.
Gohan: Or someone.
(In the village below, a guard is checking inside a Namekian dwelling. Frieza is waiting outside, flanked by Zarbon and Dodoria, each of whom are holding two dragonballs.)
Gohan: Look at that guy over there!
Krillain: (gasp) That guy in the hover vehicle must be the Frieza we heard about! His power level's massive!
Gohan: It really is!
(Krillain suddenly focuses on what Dodoria and Zarbon are carrying, and gasps again.)
Mike: Really, really big waist goiters!
Krillain: Check out those enormous things those guys have under their arms -- they look like dragonballs! I can't believe the size of 'em!
"Any sixties rock star on any given morning." |
(Dodoria ponderously turns his massive head and looks up at the ridge.)
Mike: Any sixties rock star on any given morning.
Frieza: What's wrong, Dodoria? Does your scouter indicate something?
Dodoria: Well, it blipped for a second, then it went blank. It's probably just a cat or something. I wouldn't pay it any mind.
(Trembling, Gohan and Krillain have ducked low.)
Krillain: (half-whispering) We have to be careful. If they see us, we're going to be toasted wheat.
Crow: And they're going to serve us with drawn butter.
(Gohan whimpers. They cautiously look over the ridge again.)
Guard 1: Master Frieza, we found five of them, but they don't seem to want to come out. They're cowering in there like a bunch of little wimps.
Guard 2: Let's get moving! Believe me, you don't want me to have to come in there.
(The camera shoots at door sill level. Two pairs of feet march out. Then a green hand curls around the door frame. An elderly, heavy-set Namek slowly moves through the door.)
Gohan: He looks just like Mr. Piccolo!
Mike: Before Jenny Craig!
Krillain: They must be the Nameks!
(With the elderly Namek are two small children, who cling to him in fright.)
Frieza: (sinister chuckle)
(Elsewhere, Goku is staring out one of the windows of his ship.)
Goku: Boy, it's sure dark out there. And pretty lonely, too. But I'd better get to work if I want to get my power level as high as Vegeta's. I might as well just start training now. (He walks toward the gravity control center, rotating his shoulder to warm up.) It's not like there's anything else to do around this place.
Tom: How rude! Goku's totally blowing off the shuffleboard tournament!
Goku: (studying the controls of the gravity machine) Let's see...what did King Kai say...20 times Earth's gravity? All right, I'll give it a whirl. (Slowly, as if reading instructions:) Gravitational level higher... set to ... twenty.
"So today's major reoccurring dramatic theme
involves crab walking?" |
(The machine beeps compliance, then begins to generate power. Goku looks at the machine blankly, then suddenly yelps and goes into a deep knee bend with his shoulders hunched over.)
Goku: Shoulda...tried...ten...
(He struggles off camera, walking with his knees strongly bent.)
Tom: So today's major reoccurring dramatic theme involves crab walking?
(On Namek...)
Guard 1: Look, pal, you're really asking for it. You don't know who you're dealing with here. Keep moving, green bean.
Crow: "Harvesting in the valley of the jolly green giant...the true story."
(The guard shoves an adult Nameks. One of the children looks up and around at all the strangers in his village. Several guards laugh maliciously at him.)
Guard 2: Are you scared? (He slaps the back of the child's head.) This help?
ALL: Hey!
Tom: Better get Scheck on the phone; Nanny Woodward's at it again.
Krillain: I can't believe it! He'd better lay off that kid.
Gohan: I wonder what they want with the Nameks.
Krillain: Don't know. They dress exactly like Saiyans, but they're not! The only Saiyan I've sensed since we've been on this planet is Vegeta. And I don't see him here.
Gohan: Who are they?
Krillain: They might be the guys Raditz was talking about.
(Krillain has a flash-back to his confrontation with Goku's brother.)
Raditz: We travel to other planets, eliminating all inhabitants, then selling the planet to other aliens. Some of our clients are even worse than we are.
Mike: They're baseball scouts.
Krillain: I bet these guys are members of the planet trade. That's who this Frieza guy must be. The mastermind behind the whole thing!
(Two Namekian adults are shoved to stand in front of Frieza's hover car. They see the dragonballs Dodoria and Zarbon are holding, and snarl.)
Frieza: I'm the great Frieza you've probably heard so much about.
Crow: My modesty is renown throughout the cosmos.
Frieza: We're aware that there are more of you around here, at least five others. Tell me. Believe me, you don't want to see me, or any of my men, angry. Tell us where they are. Now!
Announcer: With Goku in hot pursuit, will he be able to reach Namek in time? And will he be able to stop the evil and powerful Frieza? Stay tuned for scenes from the next exciting episode of Dragonball Z!
Announcer: Next on Dragonball Z: Frieza and the Nameks go head to head over the magical dragonballs. Be sure to catch the next exciting episode of Dragonball Z!
