Dialogue
edit- Elder: The festival has begun! The time has come for the presentation of our treasures.
- Apprentice: The treasures are gone...and you know who took them!
- Elder: Who could have one such a thing?
- Apprentice: The rumors are true. Look, the Yeti has returned and it has stolen the treasures. Here is your proof!
- Elder: One giant footprint in the snow is hardly proof. No. Not all is as it appears. There are many footprints in the snow and there is great confusion in our village.
- Apprentice: But no one can fight the Yeti. It is hopeless!
- Elder: A great mystery, yes, but hopeless...no. Perhaps it is time we summon my young friends from the West. Perhaps it is time we call...(dramatic pause)...the ClueFinders.
- (gong sounds)
- Santiago: Boy, are we late.
- Owen: Bummer, Santiago, but how was I supposed to know they don't let you bring hamburgers over the border.
- Leslie: Actually, Owen, many countries including our own restrict the transportation.
- Joni: Ah, thanks, Leslie! I think she gets the point.
- Santiago: Joni, Look! There it is.
- Joni: Laptrap, you go on ahead and tell them were coming.
- Laptrap: Oh, great! By myself?
- Owen: You don't actually believe the story about the abondiable snowman. Do you Laptrap?
- Laptrap: What? You told me this was just a ski trip? Oh, great, great! A Snowman!
- Leslie: A Yeti actually.
- Laptrap: [groans]
- Santiago: Ah, don't worry, Laptrap. It only lives out here in the snow anyway, so...
- Laptrap: So I'll meet you in the village. Bye!
- Santiago: I know the villagers think the treasures are valuable, but are they really worth anything?
- Leslie: I've done some research and found the full collection would be worth millions to an outside art collector.
- Owen: That's a lot of pizzas.
- LapTrap: So, these are books. Kind of like...data files.
- Santiago: Sort of...except they don't talk.
- LapTrap: Oh. [sarcastic] And who might you be referring to?
- (in the Village Shop)
- Joni: Time to help take some orders!
- Santiago: All I ever hear *you* do is give orders.
- Joni: Oh... sorry.
- Village Girl: Move the mouse to keep the ball moving. Beam the correct answer to the problem, after you knocked the bricks loose.
- Writer: I don't understand that how you can't suspect me, I never even seen this before.
- Elder: We are halfway there, my clever friends. We could never do this without you.
- Elder: This is wonderful ClueFinders! Just one more treasure to locate, then we can enjoy our celebration!
- Guide: Okay, okay! I'll tell you the truth. The Yeti is the real criminal, not me! Follow me, and I'll show you where it's hiding.
- Elder: Wonderful work, ClueFinders! Let us return the object to the treasure room.
- Santiago: This is the place, alright? Look at these footprints!
- Leslie: They sure are big.
- Laptrap: Ooh, is this trip really necessary? Can't we just send an email or something?
- Joni: Alright, gang, here we go! 1, 2, 3!
- Owen: Hey, I smell hamburgers!
- Apprentice: You can't stop me, you meddling ClueFinders!
