Cupid Sandiego
Episode Synopsis:
Carmen steals Josha's latest invention, and to distract the detectives, she goes on a romantic-themed crime spree.
Carmen: Had a wonderful time, detectives. Glad you were here.
Ivy: You guys okay?
Josha: Ah, Ivy. Glad you're here. I brought you your--
Zack: Oh, brother.
Player: You've stolen from an Acme agent, Carmen. I'm going to catch you this time.
Carmen: A romantic notion, Player. And I'm going to love this caper most of all.
Chief: Vacation!
Ivy: Chief!
Chief: Uh oh.
Ivy: Chief!
Chief: Ah!
Ivy: Get your head out of the sand! Carmen just stole Josha's Sandhog!
Chief: What? Carmen stealing Acme goods while I'm on vacation? What's she trying to do, ruin my tan line?
Ivy: Her empty bottle tells us nothing. Literally! At least she should've left a clue inside.
Josha: Ivy, "you must first kiss and be friends."
Zack: Bud, we're trying to crack a case here, not solve your personal problems, okay?
Zack: Whoa. This is weird! We're at Blarney Castle and nothing's out of place.
Josha: Just some farmers taking their wool to market.
Ivy: Some tourists lined up to see the stone.
Zack: The unmistakeable glow of...a refracting laser beam?!
Josha and Ivy: What?
Carmen: You can kiss this stone goodbye!
Josha: Are you okay, Ivy?
Ivy: Yeah, just annoyed Carmen got away again. You?
Josha: Okay...I think.
Ivy: Good, let's go.
Zack: *coughs* Yeah, I'm fine too, in case anybody cares.
Chief: What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Carmen is the thief!
Ivy: Nice reading Chief, but we don't have enough time to finish this scene!
Carmen: As Shakespeare once wrote, "Parting is such sweet sorrow," detective.
Ivy: Whoa! Oh!
Zack: Gotcha!
Ivy: Call for backup Josha! We've gotta stay hot on Carmen's trail!
Zack: Josha, now's the time, bud! Ivy's on the most romantic balcony in the world and she needs help with a clue!
Josha: I can't believe Romeo had to do this in tights.
Ivy: Player, infoscan the things Carmen's gone after so far.
Chief: Recapping crime scenes, coming right up.
Ivy: Blarney Stone is for smooth talking, Juliet's balcony is for romance, Don Quixote's windmill was a sign of bravery...Josha, why are you climbing the wall?
Josha: Ivy, Carmen did me a huge favor stealing the things she's stolen. I learned a lot on this case. And when I think I wanted to stay behind and work on my DNA tracker instead of coming--whoa!
Ivy: Wait a minute! The DNA tracker! Could Carmen have heard you tell us about it in the Seychelles, Josha?
Josha: Well, if she did...then she also heard me tell Zack I wanted...you know...to ask you out...?...
Ivy: She what? I-I mean, you what?
Josha: I told Zack all about it in the Seychelles.
Ivy: Josha, that's it! That's why Carmen hasn't gotten away with any of the things she's gone after on this case! She doesn't really want them!
*Ivy kisses Josha*
Josha: Ivy! *laughs* *falls into the C-5 car* Ow! You like me! You really like me! *laughs some more*
Ivy: Josha, don't you see? Carmen stole the Blarney Stone, the balcony, and the windmill so you'll be focusing on them and they'll give you romantic cues!
Josha: But why would she care if I ever got up the courage to ask you out?
Ivy: She doesn't! She wanted to distract you from working so you wouldn't finish the tracker and so she could steal your papers.
Zack: Are we gonna check out the site of the stolen windmills in La Mancha?
Ivy: Nope, little bro, that's just to throw us off track. My bet is Carmen's about to steal Josha's DNA tracker notes! Player, C-5 us back to the Seychelles Islands!
Zack: Carmen!
Carmen: You! Well, thanks for loaning me the Sandhog, Josha. Your voice recognition tapes allowed me to break into your security vault.
Carmen: Ugh! Now I wish I hadn't reminded you detectives about the Man of La Mancha tilting at windmills!
Josha: In conclusion, my proposed DNA tracker will catch anybody, anytime, in theory. But I'm afraid the real technology needed is still a few years away. Thank you.
Zack: Hey, hey, not too boring, bud. Now you've just got one thing left to do.
Josha: Right. But I'm going to do it my own way this time.
Sandhog: You shall request the honor of the next dance. Affirmative is the only response I can compute.
Ivy: You got it, Sandhog. I'd love to dance with Josha.
Zack: Yep, I taught him everything he knows.
Sandhog: Funny. He taught me everything he knows.
*Sandhog begins to menace Zack*
Zack: Whoa! Ungh! *bumps into the buffet table and knocks the punch bowl over, gets soaked in punch, and coughs for a bit*
Player: I won, Carmen. And all your effort was for nothing.
Carmen: Effort always pays off, Player. Besides, I liked playing Cupid. You never know who I'll aim at next.
