02:51She's only a kid!
02:52What harm could he do?
02:53Please?
02:56All right, Earl, but just for the day!
03:02Wow!
03:03A real Defender ship!
03:05How do you fly her, Flash?
03:06Just punch a few buttons and we're off!
03:14Hi, Cheddar!
03:16We'd make a great superhero team, you and I!
03:19You think so, Earl?
03:20Want to see a very rare Cap'n Bagel and the Fighting Locks?
03:24It's in here somewhere!
03:29Earl, watch it!
03:34Pull up, Flash!
03:35We're gonna hit the Crown!
03:36We're gonna hit the Crown!
03:37Earl!
03:38Inside Monitor!
03:39Awesome!
03:40Out of sight!
03:41This Earl, looks like he might be a real handful!
03:42Did you see how he almost cracked up the ship?
03:44Hmm.
03:45Someone should give that boy a lesson in manners!
03:46Observe, my friends!
03:47Our true showman handles a famine!
03:48Oh!
03:49Oh!
03:50Oh!
03:51Wow!
03:52Wow!
03:53Wow!
03:54Wow!
03:55Wow!
03:56Wow!
03:57Mandric, the Magician!
03:58Is that really you?
03:59At your service, young hero!
04:00Do a magic trick for me, huh?
04:01Will ya?
04:02Please?
04:03Well, do a magic trick for me, huh?
04:04Will ya?
04:05Please?
04:06Well, do a magic trick for me, huh?
04:07Will ya?
04:08Please?
04:09Well, perhaps, if someone had a comic book they could lend me.
04:10I do?
04:11I do!
04:12I do!
04:13Here you go!
04:14That's the Deadly Decimator!
04:15Metal Man's biggest foe!
04:16Now the Deadly Decimator!
04:17The Deadly Decimator!
04:18It's a real-life, my friends!
04:19Our true showman handles a famine!
04:20Wow!
04:21The Magician!
04:22The Magician!

04:33Here you go!
04:34That's the Deadly Decimator!
04:35Metal Man's biggest foe!
04:36Now the Deadly Decimator!
04:38Shall be your biggest foe!
04:41Mind your manners, Earl!
04:42Or...
04:43Don't threaten me, you foul fiend!
04:45You're no match for Earl's something!
04:47Charge!
04:49That was an illusion?
04:52I'm sorry, Mandrake!
04:54It seems so real!
04:56Just like when the Decimator met Mr. Supersonic!
04:59Yes, yes, quite, my boy!
05:03Uh, perhaps Earl would like to meet Dynak X?
05:07Oh boy!
05:08Dynak X!
05:09The brains of the whole operation!
05:11Could I try a battle simulation, Jedha?
05:13I'm ready!
05:14But is Dynak ready for Earl?
05:17Dynak X?
05:18Meet Earl Sump!
05:20How do you do, Earl?
05:22She can talk!
05:23This is wild!
05:24Rick has programmed Dynak to do just about anything!
05:28Oh yeah?
05:29Let's see!
05:30Warning!
05:31Unauthorized personnel seeking access!
05:33Defense system activated!
05:35No fair!
05:37Dynak is voice responsive and will permit access only to defenders!
05:41All others are locked out by a force field!
05:43At last!
05:44One thing in modern that's sump proof!
05:47Easy, Earl!
05:48The only way a stranger can operate Dynak is with this special electronic access card!
05:53Force field deactivated!
05:56Distress call received from planet Sardon 9!
06:00Ming's Hubble ships!
06:01What would Ming want on Sardon 9?
06:02We're losing the signal!
06:03Can I help?
06:04Earl!
06:05I was only trying to help!
06:06Think you can handle Earl while we take on Ming?
06:07Frankly, old man, I believe you have the easier job!
06:09A hero's destiny calls, and Earl Sump must answer!
06:30Sardon 9!
06:41Hey Flash!
06:42Catch this action!
06:43Mongo cruisers!
06:45Flying away from the mining fortress!
06:48I'm on their tails!
07:00That one's mine!
07:01Follow me!
07:02Pull up!
07:03It's a trip!
07:04Oh!
07:05Hi!
07:06Thought you might need my help!
07:07Like a dog!
07:08Oh!
07:09Oh!
07:10Oh!
07:11Oh!
07:12Oh!
07:13Oh!
07:14Oh!
07:15Oh!
07:16Oh!
07:17Oh!
07:18Oh!
07:19Oh!
07:20Oh!
07:21Oh!
07:22Oh!
07:23Oh!
07:24Oh!
07:25Oh!
07:26Oh!
07:27Oh!
07:28Oh!
07:29Like a dog needs fleas!
07:31Let's blast that machine outta the way!
07:34Earl, no!
07:35That's not Earl!
07:36Like a dog needs flea Zea Zea, Let's blast that machine outta the way!
07:38Pearl, no!
07:39That's NOT EERLE!
07:40No!
07:41She won't watch!
07:42Arr're going,+,Trick tribe!
07:43Thank you Flash Gordon, and Farewell!
07:45Second hablando samaa-
07:49Moonbing.
07:53Flash is down.
07:56He needs help-
07:58He needs help.
07:59Look, there's Garax out in the open.
08:01I'll strafe the machine and shoot him off.
08:04I'm right behind you.
08:10Way to go, kids.
08:11As for you, Earl, you'd better stay put right here and don't move.
08:18Come on, Flash.
08:20Nobody ever ties up their fellow heroes in comic books.
08:23You'll stay here until I decide which side you're on.
08:28Maybe I can get this ship moving once I blow this mess off of us with laser heat.
08:33All right.
08:34Dad's airborne again.
08:37Now it's Garax's turn.
08:43Whoa, hit.
08:44Can you keep her in the air, son?
08:46I think so.
08:47We're heading home for repairs.
08:49Well, I'm disgusted.
08:50In Gems of War, Considda the Bold never retreated in the face of danger.
08:55Keep your seatbelt on, Earl.
09:01Garax's attack took me by surprise.
09:03The Obliteron is a mining machine, Rick, but it could be a very formidable weapon.
09:08The Obliteron's lasers are designed to penetrate the diamond crust of Sardon 9 and are the most powerful in the galaxy.
09:14I would have blasted Garax to smithereens if Flash had let me.
09:18Earl, give me a break, will ya?
09:19Well, I woulda.
09:23Blowing up the Obliteron may be our only chance of destroying it.
09:25Spider-Man did the same thing in the comic classic Siege of New York, issue 41.
09:30This is a little different from comic books, Earl.
09:33Rick's right.
09:34This could be very dangerous work.
09:36Maybe it is best if we return you home.
09:38How would you like me to escort you back to Central City?
09:42Magetta, I don't wanna go.
09:44I can't leave you guys to defend the Earth all by yourselves.
09:47It'll be tough without you, Earl, but we'll give it a try.
09:51Please, get in the ship.
09:53No.
09:54Not till I've proven to all of you just how great a defender I am.
09:58Earl, come back here.
10:00Earl!
10:00Earl, where are you?
10:01Stick'em off.
10:12Sorry to do this to you, Jedha.
10:13But where I'm going, it's too dangerous.
10:20Let's see.
10:21Flash got her started this way.
10:23Think.
10:24Look out, Mane.
10:45You've met your match.
10:47Sire, sensors indicate a ship coming within visual range.
10:58But its flight pattern is most unusual.
11:01It is a defender ship, and it is out of control, sire.
11:08Go to the hangar deck, Octon.
11:10Pull that ship aboard with a tractor beam.
11:13Identify yourself.
11:20You're talking to Earl Sump, the world's greatest offender.
11:25I'll only give my name, school, and comic club decodering number.
11:31If you live that long.
11:33You have damaged Ming's computers.
11:41For this, you will be destroyed.
11:45Oh, yeah?
11:46Take that, you tin balloon.
11:52Ha!
11:53Even the vilest of villains is no match for Earl Sump.
11:57Oh, no.
11:57I didn't mean it.
11:59Let's be friends, okay?
12:01Let's be friends, okay?
12:03Wow, that power line must have really toasted your transistors.
12:09I hope I didn't hurt you.
12:13You can be my very own sidekick.
12:19Just like Space Master and the Cosmic Kid.
12:22What is wrong with my communication system?
12:26All my view screens have gone blank.
12:29Octon.
12:30Yes, sidekick.
12:32Cosmic Kid.
12:38Cosmic what?
12:40I reinvestigate this nonsense myself.
12:44Rip up the biggest Mongo Cruiser you've got, partner.
12:51We're moving out.
12:52Vamanos, amigo.
12:54Amigo.
12:56I'm gonna blast something on that wall for Ming to remember me by.
13:00Amigo, amigo.
13:02The name Sump.
13:06Wouldn't it be great if someday they write a comic book about me?
13:09Oh, you'll be in it, too, Octon.
13:12Octon, too.
13:13How peaceful monitors become without the presence of our young hero, Earl Sump.
13:27How's it coming, son?
13:28Ming's obliteron has met its match with this one device.
13:31It'll blow it clear out of the galaxy.
13:33Right, son.
13:34But not until it's well inside Ming's obliteron.
13:38What is it, Kisha?
13:48Just wait till I get my hands on that little creep.
13:51You mean Earl?
13:52Who else?
13:53Why would Earl have locked you in there?
13:55Oh, no.
13:56My ship is missing.
13:58Earl?
13:59This guy is certainly not a team player, is he?
14:02What does Earl know about piloting a ship?
14:05All he had to do was start it.
14:07The ship will take him anywhere he wants to go.
14:09Knowing Earl Sump, that could be anywhere.
14:12Earl said something about going after Ming.
14:15How I pity him.
14:17Earl, I...
14:18Alert.
14:19Alert.
14:20Mongo ship approaching monitor.
14:22Don't shoot, Flash.
14:24It's me, Earl Sump.
14:25I'm coming in.
14:27Earl, you can't dock that.
14:29Come on, Flash.
14:30I'm not driving.
14:32I'm not that stupid.
14:38I see it, but I don't believe it.
14:41Okay, Octon.
14:42Remember what I told you to say.
14:44Make way for Earl Sump.
14:47Make way for Earl Sump.
14:50Make way for...
14:51That's enough, sidekick.
14:54Sidekick.
14:56Earl's captured Octon?
14:59How?
15:00Using Coda, the Dragon Slayer's battle strategy.
15:03From comic number 15.
15:04I easily brought Ming to his knees.
15:08His last words were...
15:10I curse you, Earl Sump.
15:12Greatest defender of all.
15:15Must be an illusion.
15:17Somehow, I find that very hard to believe.
15:20I brought you Octon.
15:21Doesn't that make me as good a superhero as you guys?
15:24Come on, Octon.
15:25I want to show you off to everyone in town.
15:28No, this cannot be.
15:31All of my computers are ruined.
15:34What's this?
15:36I, Earl Sump, greatest defender of all, have captured Octon.
15:42Beware, Ming.
15:46Keep your cooties off the Earth.
15:51Garax.
15:51Yes, my lord.
15:53I want the Obliterum transported to Earth immediately.
15:58This Earl Sump will know the wrath of Ming the Merciless.
16:05Do you read me, Garax?
16:08Yes, Excellency.
16:10And Garax?
16:11Yes, Excellency.
16:12What are cooties?
16:21Looks like the entire town of Central City has turned out to celebrate Earl Sump night.
16:28Yes, everyone who's anyone is here to honor the hero of the day.
16:37And, and here he comes now, Earth.
16:40To what do you attribute your victory over Ming the Merciless?
16:44The defenders of the Earth were real help.
16:46I used everything they taught me.
16:48How nice of him to mention us.
16:50May I have your attention?
16:53I'd like to introduce our guest of honor, Earl Sump.
16:57Thanks, everybody.
16:59And now, please welcome a special guest of my own, my sidekick, Octon.
17:10Oh, don't worry.
17:12I've got to be eating right out of my hand.
17:14Okay, Octon.
17:15Just like we rehearsed it.
17:17Let's hear it for Earl Sump, the fantastic Thunder of Ice.
17:23Power is restored, sire.
17:32Activate my viewscreens, Garax.
17:35I must find Octon.
17:38Energy sensors have detected him in Central City.
17:42That is Earl Sump.
17:46He's no superhero.
17:48He is a super wimp.
17:49Head for Central City.
17:52We will use my new Obliteron on Defender Hall and Earl Sump.
17:59Don't be afraid.
18:22Octon and I will protect you.
18:24Hurry, Octon.
18:25Shoot that thing down.
18:26Amigo psychic.
18:30Well, no wonder you can't shoot, Octon.
18:32You're falling to pieces.
18:35Okay, Octon.
18:36Now waste that villainous machine.
18:39Silence, Earth Boy.
18:42Octon takes orders only from name the merciless.
18:47Uh-oh.
18:48It's the old Octon.
18:50I must have connected the wrong wires.
18:52Look, the defenders of the Earth.
19:10I don't know, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten times.
19:16If it hadn't been for you defenders, I don't know what we would have done.
19:36Sorry, everyone.
19:38I guess there's more to being a defender than I imagined.
19:41You do have a wonderful imagination, Earl.
19:44And properly trained.
19:46You might make a fine defender of the Earth.
19:49Really?
19:50I'll try real hard.
19:52Maybe you can come back and visit Monitor again sometime.
19:54Let's not get carried away.
19:57Huh?
19:57Only kidding, Earl.
19:58Only kidding.
19:59Yeah, my man.
20:00We'll see you.
20:01Uh, soon.
20:02I'll bet it's sooner than you think.
20:09I'll bet it's sooner than you think.
20:39Bye, I'll bet.
20:48Bye, I'll bet it's later.
