Turn right, we're gaining! That was amazing the way you foiled Quackerjack's plan, DW.
Never saw anyone diffuse a bomb that way before.
Fortunately, my body absorbed the force of the explosion.
Where'd you plant the tracking device on Quackerjack, DW? [giggling.]
That pesky duck will never find my secret hideout, Mr.
Banana Brain.
- [beeping.]
- Not unless someone spills the beans.
- Which way, Launchpad? - Turn right.
- [tires screeching.]
- [both yelling.]
You stopped me from blowing up the yo-yo factory, Darkwing Duck, but I'm not done yet.
[laughs.]
The jig is up, you jaded jugheaded jack-in-the-box.
Is it my fault no one will buy my toys? All anyone wants are yo-yos.
[panting.]
If I can't destroy all the yo-yos, I'll destroy just one.
The first yo-yo.
[laughs.]
- Hey, where'd he go? - [beeping.]
That's funny, according to this thing, he's still there.
Uh, DW, why are we borrowing the SHUSH time machine? Because, Launchpad, that was no ordinary top.
Quackerjack is still in St.
Canard, only 700 years in the past.
We're going back in time, Launchpad.
Oh, boy! In time for what? In time to stop Quackerjack from destroying the first yo-yo and altering the course of toy history.
Set time coordinates for the year 1291.
And don't mess up.
What happened in 1291 ? According to this almanac, that's the year the yo-yo was invented.
By the king of medieval Canardia.
No freeway congestion, no skyscrapers blocking out the sun, and no Darkwing dollar.
- [coughing.]
- [woman gasps.]
Gadzooks! What manner of strange fish be these? - Binkie? - Nay.
Binketh be my name.
She must be Binkie's ancestor.
Ooh, what strange cloths you wear.
From whence do you hail? What would you say if I told you I was from 700 years in the future? I would say you must be an evil warlock and should be burned at the stake.
[chuckles.]
We're from Sweden.
Ooh, well, welcome to Canardia, strangers.
Alloweth me to assist you in your travels hereth.
[man.]
Make way for the King! Just the man I wanted to see.
Ooh, but none may see the king.
His new minister will not allow it.
He'll see me.
I'm Darkwing Duck.
I demand to see the king.
Halt! Herb Muddlefoot? 'Tis King Herbeth to you.
- Quackerjack! - That's Sir Quackerjack.
Sire, this man is a fraud, a fiend and a known felon.
Hold thy tongue.
Sir Quackerjack is my trusted new advisor.
The sire and I are great pals.
This guy cracks me up.
No lie.
You you jackanape! [Quackerjack.]
Guards! Guards! That puny cracker box is no match for my sophisticated knowledge of modern technology.
Ooh, but if thou wouldst allow me to helpeth.
Step aside, little fair maiden lady, I'll handle this.
[grunts.]
I am the mighty Darkwing Duck.
And I pity the poor fool who stands in my way.
Whoa, boy! [grunting.]
Where brute force fails, try agility.
If thou wouldst but listen I have calculated the precise height of the castle wall the exact arc of the trajectory, [crash.]
Give or take a few feet.
[grunting.]
Where brute force and agility fail, try ingenuity.
A present for the king! Brilliant.
Now, all I have to do is wait for Launchpad to climb out and open the castle door.
- What door, DW? - Doh! Oh, woo-hoo! Up here.
How'd you get up there? I tried to telleth you.
They never locketh the back door.
Let me place you out of harm's way.
Grave danger may await us.
Darkwing Duck creeps toward his destination with the grace and cunning of the alley cat.
- [man.]
Halt! - Oh.
[nervous chuckle.]
Do you have a phone I could use? My car broke down.
It's crazy.
[Launchpad yelling.]
[grunting.]
Oh, spies, sire! Spies and infidels! Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Darkwing Ducketh.
Magician extraordinaire, here to offer my humble services to the king.
So you are a sorcerer who consorts with the powers of darkness.
Great.
I could use a good sorcerer.

I'm an inventor, myself.
Wanna see my new invention, huh? I would be honored.
Hot dog! You'll never get that yo-yo.
How did you find me? I planted a homing device in your pal.
- [beeping.]
- Traitor! Backstabber! How could you? [both grunting.]
- [Darkwing.]
You'll never get away - Glad to see youse two getting along.
You're gonna love my new invention.
I call it the yo-yo.
[screaming.]
- What do you thinketh? - Well, needs work.
But I like it.
Oh, well I guess it's not much compared to your feats.
Yes.
Why don't you put on a little show, mighty sorcerer.
That'd be great.
Oh, gee, I'd love to, but I left my magic wand in my other suit.
- I just happen to have a spare.
- Then we're all set.
The show will commence tonight at 7:00.
I'll wow the king with a few cheap tricks, and Quackerjack will be on the street in no time.

Methinks I am smitten by his handsomeness.
Bravo, bravo! Bravo, bravo! On with the show and stuff.
Now, for my first trick, I will pull a rabbit out of my hat.
[mutters.]
It's an elusive little critter! - Where could he be? - [Launchpad.]

So, what's a nice peasant like you doing in a palace like this, hmm? [giggling.]

For my next trick, I will separate these metal rings.

- Thanks a lot, Launchpad.
Sorry, DW, I couldn't watch you suffer anymore.
Besides, what harm could it do? In the judgment of this court, Darkwing Duck, confessed warlock, will be beheaded at dawn.
[nervous chuckle.]
Oh.
[people chattering.]
Easy on the suit, pal.
But I don't want him beheaded, I just want lovely Binketh back.
We will have her back only when we destroy his black magic, Majesty.
Look at the bright side, DW.
And where would that be, Launchpad? Well, if you live one more minute, you can watch the total eclipse of the sun.
That's great, isn't it? Like a rare astronomical event is gonna do me any Hey Thou has angered the Great Darkwing.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, I'll make you a deal.
This better be good.

They'll be fine.
Sire, you gotta try some of this food.
My appetite's gone.
I've even lost interest in my yo-yo.
Keep working on it.
- What if Binketh shouldst perish? - [door opens.]
Then I shouldest perish with thoughts of thee.
Binketh, will you marry me? Of courseth, my lord.
Uh-uh.
No way Darkwing could've slain that dragon.
Darkwing Ducketh, dragon slayer! Your Highness.
Ouch.
Mighty warlock, thou didst truly slay the dragon? "Promise me, my son, promise me no matter what happens, don't sell the farm.
