Henri:
[Pazu has just returned home; he is about to open the door when suddenly hands reach out to grab him]
Well! Ahoy there, matey!
Pazu:
Ahh! What's going on?
[he is thrown into his house; cut to Pazu struggling as Henri ties him up]
Henri:
Stop wriggling, ya little worm!
Dola:
[seated at the dinner table, noisily munching on a steak]
Welcome home, sonny!
Pazu:
[as Henri pulls a bound Pazu to the wall]
Get out! Get out, or I'll throw you out! This is MY house!
Dola:
[disdainfully]
Oh, ya can't scare me! You can't even protect one small girl!
Pazu:
Whaddaya mean?
Henri:
[taking out the gold coins Muska gave Pazu]
Hey, Mom! Can I keep this money?
Dola:
Up and sold a little girl, did ya? I know your type!
Pazu:
[protesting]
You don't know what you're talking about!
Dola:
They offered ya money, and ya took it, didn't you?
Pazu:
I only left because Sheeta told me to!
[sighing]
Pazu:
That's why.
Dola:
[spits in disgust]
So ya believed her and ya came back here, right? You're just a SCARED LITTLE BOY WHO RUNS AWAY!
[slams her fist on the table]
Pazu:
Says you! You don't even have the guts to stand up to Muska and the army!
Dola:
He who turns and runs away can steal the treasure ANOTHER DAY!
Charles:
[underneath Dola's line]
Mm-hm.
Louis:
[dryly]
That is so true.
Dola:
Don't ya think it's kinda strange that the army has gotten into the kidnapping business?
[takes another big bite on her steak]
Dola:
You really think they'll keep her alive? Don't ya see that they forced her to make a deal?
Pazu:
[surprised]
Huh?
Dola:
[downs the rest of her steak]
She *saved your life*! Get it?
Louis:
[as Pazu hangs his head]
Mommy, you amaze me. How do ya know these things?
Dola:
Oh, well, ya can't be a sensitive woman like me without learnin' a few things. Sheeta and I are exactly alike: all warm and mushy and sensitive!
[belches]
Dola:
Now, so when you boys get married, you go find a gal like her!
Louis:
[dumbfounded]
Huh? She's gonna end up... like Mama?
Charles:
Good question.
