Dragon Ball Z
Japanese Episode 75
One Who Has All Seven Balls... Say The Right Words
*****
Gohan stands outside Freeza's spaceship, looking into the water at himself.
Gohan: Do I look strong? Mom and Piccolo-san would probably be shocked to see me dressed like this. (He grins and stands up.) But I really do feel like I'm stronger! (Gohan punches and kicks at the air, flipping about.) I'm the greatest warrior in the universe... Son Gohan!
Vegeta: (from behind him) Hey, you...! (Gohan straightens, startled.) Your runt friend said he'd be back in two hours, didn't he?
Gohan: Y... yeah.
Vegeta: Good. (He turns and starts walking away. Gohan turns to look at him, but when he stops and turns to speak the boy quickly looks away again.) Hmf. Guard the Dragon Balls well. I'm going into the spaceship to get some sleep. Wake me when he gets back.
Gohan: Sleep?
Vegeta: (walking into the spaceship) I haven't slept at all recently.
(Gohan watches him go.)
*****
Kurilin blasts across the sky at top speed.
Kurilin: Wait for me, Gohan... Goku! I'll learn how to summon Shenron as quickly as I can. (He senses Freeza's ki power nearby.) Why that...! He hasn't killed Saichourou yet, has he? Let me be in time!
*****
Dende too is streaking across the sky as fast as he can.
Dende: I have to tell Kurilin-san and the others the correct words as quickly as possible! (He flies between some mountains and sees the place where the others last were.) There! (Dende hovers above the field, looking around.)
Dende: Strange... I don't sense any ki energy... (He looks down and sees a body laying far below, and gasps.) I'm too late! (Tears stream from his eyes as he flies down towards the body, wailing.) Kurilin-san!
(As he gets closer and touches down, however, he sees that the body isn't Kurilin's - it's Baata's. Another dead member of the Ginyu force lies close by.)
Dende: (running up to it) It's not them! (looking around) Then where did they go?
*****
Goku inside the spaceship appears asleep inside the healing tank. Vegeta enters the room and walks up to him.
Vegeta: Kakarotto... after I take care of Freeza, you're next. But I need you to fight for me until then. (He walks to a table and grabs an alarm clock off of it. As he picks it up, he suddenly collapses to one knee, groaning, and accidentally knocks a few pen-like things off the table.)
Vegeta: I can't believe this... (He drags himself upright and walks back over to the tank with the clock, sitting down heavily in front of it.) Thirty minutes should restore me to full power. (He sets the clock and leans back against the tank, closing his eyes.)
Vegeta: (thinking) When I wake I'm going to obtain eternal youth and life. (He chuckles softly and drops the clock.) I think I'll be having good dreams.
(Outside, Gohan sits alone on one of the Dragonballs.)
Gohan: How can he sleep when Freeza might come?
*****
Nail stands, looking battered and breathing heavily. Freeza regards him with a little smile on his face.
Freeza: Look at you. And I'm only using my left hand. You know you can't win. Don't you think it's time you told me how to get the Dragon Balls to grant my wish?
(Nail still stands there panting, but then suddenly spins around with a cry and blasts Freeza. When the smoke clears he sees Freeza standing there calmly, unscathed, and gasps.)
Freeza: You keep wasting your efforts. Did you think you could get me with something like that? It's obvious you're going to lose. Why continue to defy me? (He floats up into the air.) Is it because I killed your comrades? Or is it just that pride thing?
(Freeza suddenly disappears and reappears in front of Nail, his back to the Namek-jin. Freeza raises a fist and punches Nail in the face, sending him to the ground clutching at his head with a pained cry.)
Freeza: This will be your last warning. Tell me how to get the Dragon Balls to grant my wish. (He walks up to Nail and looks down.) You'll die.
Nail: (removing his hands from his face) It won't do you any good to learn that anyway. Dende should be very close to the humans by now... (He laughs) To tell them the very words you want to know!
Freeza: Wha... that...! (He remembers seeing Dende fly by him.) Why you...! You were just stalling for time! (He bursts into a flare of energy and takes off into the sky. Nail chuckles.)
Freeza: (checking his scouter) I don't sense the Ginyu Special Corps! They couldn't have...! All five of them are dead? Something happened between the Ginyu Corps, Vegeta, and those humans! The Dragon Balls...!
(Smiling images of Kurilin, Gohan and Vegeta are shown.)
Freeza: (enraged) I'm the one who's going to get my wish granted! Not lowly life forms like you!
*****
In Saichourou's house, the elder sits by himself, broken glass from the window all around.
Saichourou: If I'd known this was going to happen... I would have told the humans the correct words back then. I let Nail meet a horrible fate. (He coughs laboriously.) Please hurry, Dende... my life force is almost gone...
(Meanwhile Dende suddenly stops flying, looking around.)
Dende: (yelling) Kurilin-san! (He flies on.) Gohan-san!
*****
Inside the spaceship, both Goku and Vegeta are asleep. Outside, Gohan still sits on a Dragon Ball, talking to himself.
Gohan: Will it really take two hours for Kurilin to see Saichourou and get back? (As he talks, the four-star Ball begins to roll away.) What'll I do if Freeza comes before that? I wish Kurilin would hurry and get back...
(The four-star Ball continues rolling.)
*****
An enraged Freeza blasts across the sky, as does Kurilin. He suddenly pulls up short, looking around.
Kurilin: Ki energy! Something is flying towards Goku and the others! This ki is...! (He suddenly blasts off in another direction.
(Dende flies determinedly, and Kurilin pulls up short again as he sees the child go by in front of him.)
Kurilin: I thought it was you, Dende! (He shouts and flies toward Dende, who turns and sees only a figure silhouetted against the sun. He screams, and then Kurilin appears, laughing.) It's me, although I look different.
Dende: (beaming) Kurilin-san!
Both: (clasping hands) I'm so glad!
*****
Gohan is still sitting on a Dragon Ball, chin in his hands. The four-star Ball keeps rolling until it hits a bump in the ground.
Ginyu: (climbing up onto the Ball) <frog noises> (He falls off and the continues pushing it over the bump. He turns suddenly to see Gohan crouched down, looking at him, and jumps in surprise, backing up against the Ball.)
Gohan: Eh? (He looks to see Ginyu leaning against the Ball, whistling innocently.) You...! You're Ginyu, that bad guy who tried to steal my dad's body.
Ginyu: <frog noises>
Gohan: (chuckling) I thought so! Why you...! (He reaches to grab the frog, but Ginyu hops away, spouting frog noises. Gohan laughs.) You can't do any more bad stuff!
(Ginyu makes a froggy scowl, and then hears something.)
Female Frog: <questioning frog noises> (She winks.)
Ginyu: (sweating) <terrified frog noises> (He hops away, and she follows him, making seductive frog noises.)
*****
Dende and Kurilin fly back toward Gohan and the Dragon Balls.
Kurilin: This saves me time! We found all the Dragon Balls but Shenron wouldn't appear. I was on my way back to ask Saichourou what the right words are.
Dende: I thought so. That's why I came.
Kurilin: So what do I say?
Dende: You have to speak the words in Namekgo, or your wish won't be granted.
Kurilin: In Namekgo, huh? Saichourou shouldn't have held back, and told us when we went to see him.
Dende: We didn't expect you to be able to gather all of them. Let's hurry! Saichourou-sama won't live much longer. And Freeza may come, too.
Kurilin: You're right.
*****
Gohan, still sitting on a Dragon Ball, looks up suddenly.
Gohan: Something's coming! Kurilin! But I sense two ki sources. (He rises into the air and looks at the horizon. Gohan closes his eyes, trying to sense who the other is, but quickly opens them.) The ki disappeared! It is Kurilin! Who's the other one? (He smiles.) It's Dende! Great!
Kurilin: (flying towards where Gohan hovers) That's Gohan!
(Gohan laughs and flies toward them, and they meet to hover in the middle.)
Gohan: That was amazingly fast. How did you do it?
Kurilin: Saichourou had sent Dende to find us.
Gohan: To tell us how to get the Dragon Balls to grant our wish?
Dende: Yes!
Kurilin: Where's Vegeta? I suppressed my ki on the way back so he wouldn't know.
Gohan: (pointing at the spaceship) I don't think he knows you're back. He's in the spaceship sleeping because he said he hadn't gotten much lately.
Kurilin: Luck is with us! Carry the Dragon Balls here quietly so Vegeta won't notice. That way, even if he notices when Shenron appears, we'll have some extra time.
(Gohan looks through the spaceship window at Vegeta, who is still asleep. He jumps down and nods back at the other two, who start picking up Dragon Balls. The three fly them away from the ship.)
Kurilin: (looking over the collection) Yahoo! We did it! (He turns to Dende.) We're counting on you, Dende!
Dende: (nodding) Yes!
*****
Freeza flies along, mad as hell. Gohan senses him and looks up.
Gohan: Kurilin-san, something's coming here at an incredible speed!
Kurilin: Eh? (He looks out at the horizon too, and senses who it is.) It's Freeza! Hurry, Dende! Hurry and get our wish granted!
Dende: Y-yes! (He turns to the Dragon Balls and holds out his hands.) Takkarato Popporunga Pupirittoparo!
Gohan: (after a moment of silence) Nothing's happening...
Kurilin: Are you sure you got the right words...? (He cuts himself off as, suddenly, the Dragon Balls begin to glow with a pulsing light.)
Gohan: They're glowing! (The sky goes black.) The sky got dark!
Kurilin: Just like the Dragon Balls on Earth.
(Where he is, Freeza stops short and stares at the sky.)
Freeza: What...! Why is it suddenly night?
(The Dragon Balls glow brighter and then suddenly explode into a column of light. The three hide their eyes as it shoots into the sky and begins to form a shape.)
*****
On Kaiou-sama's planetoid, he is paying attention to the goings-on on Namek-sei.
Kaiou-sama: Looks like their wish will finally be granted. (Chaozu cheers.)
Yamucha: They did it!
Tenshinhan: I'll be alive again.
Chaozu: I'm happy for you, Ten!
*****
The three stand awed, looking up at the gigantic form of the dragon.
Kurilin: It-it's huge! A lot bigger than the one on Earth.
Gohan: That's Shenron?
Dende: We call it Porunga here. It means 'God of Dreams'. This is the first time I've ever seen it, too.
Porunga: One who has gathered all the Dragon Balls... make your wish. If it is within my power, I will grant three wishes.
Kurilin: Three! Did he say three?
Dende: (looking back) That's right. Three wishes will be granted.
Kurilin: Nail was right!
Gohan: What shall we do? We have three!
Narrator: The super Shenron, Porunga, has finally appeared. (Ginyu watches, a tear dripping from his frog eye, and Vegeta still sleeps. Freeza still keeps going toward them.) What three wishes will Kurilin and the others have granted?
