Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo
Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo is a 2006 animated feature film based on the popular television series Teen Titans.
Robin
[edit]- I can't even find my way around in this town, much less catch a criminal.
- I would never... this isn't happening. This can't be real. It has to be some sort of sick joke, or a setup.
- Pack your things. We're heading for Tokyo.
- [Distracting Deka-Mido, a giant reptilian monster] Hey, over here! Your mother was a salamander!
- [Admitting his love to Starfire] I think I was wrong before. Maybe a hero isn't all that I am. Maybe I could be... M-maybe we could be-- [Is cut off by Starfire]]'
- [Cyborg says Robin isn't a wanted man anymore. Cuts to show Robin holding hands with Starfire] Mmm, I wouldn't say that.
- Inspire me.
Starfire
[edit]- [Taps on the back of the Saico-Tek, who is flying away] Um, excuse me, but I did not wish to do this when you were not looking. [Starts fighting]
- [After Beast Boy tries to enter the comic book store, but runs into the door. Points to the Japanese sign] The sign says, "Closed".
- [Robin calls himself an idiot because he believes their expedition to Japan was a "wild goose chase". Puts her hand on his shoulder] No, please, do not blame Robin for the wild chasing of the goose.
- [Robin: A hero is what I am, and if you don't like it--] Robin? I like it more than you will ever know.
- [A little girl asks if Starfire is sad. Starfire says she is not and does not have boy troubles. The little girl walks away] Ohhh, I am not even certain that I have a boy with whom to have the troubles. [Follows the girl] Since the day I met him I have had... the feelings. I have waited most patiently and had hoped that some day... [Stands there sadly. Little girl takes her hand and takes Starfire with her] Perhaps I was foolish to hope. Perhaps we are just... heroes, and nothing more.[Little girl smiles. Starfire smiles back. Hopefully] But no! We are more! I feel this, and he does also even if he fears to admit it. And I shall not let him go without a fight! Oh, I thank you for this talk. [Ruffles little girl's hair] You are most insightful. I must go find... [Looks up and gasps as she sees a giant mugshot of Robin on a screen above her] Robin?!
- [Robin pulls her out of a pile of ink and asks if she is okay] I am now.
- [As Robin tries to explain his love for her] Robin, stop talking.
Beast Boy
[edit]- Um, either that wasn't English, or I think I have a concussion.
- This was the only place in Japan I wanted to see. It's like paradise for comic book geeks... Did I just call myself a geek?
- [Many girls kiss him after he sings karaoke] I love this town.
- Hot girl! Don't go away! I've just gotta help my friend, then I'll be back to take you on the best date of your life!
- [Looks at a mugshot of Robin in the newspaper] And he was telling us to stay out of trouble.
- (singing a translation of the show's theme)
- I will obey the traffic rules
- Teen Titans!
- I will eat everything without likes or dislikes
- Teen Titans!
- Earthquakes, lightning, fire, Dad,
- Grammar, math, science, social studies,
- There is nothing I am afraid of
- Teen Titans go!
- Hoooooooooooooller my name!!!
- Teen Titans!
- Half your troubles will be gone
- Teen Titans!
- Papa's schedule control, uh!
- Mama's weight control
- Wishes are endless
- Teen Titans go!
- One, two, three, four, five!
- Teen Titans!
- Good night, Tokyo!
- (Fighting the catgirl) Come on! How can I think of a good comeback when I don't even know what you're saying?
- Yeah, um, great plan, but there's this one teensy problem: EVERYBODY IN TOKYO'S OUT TO GET US!
- So wait. If the good guy was really a bad guy, then that means... (brainstorms) Oh, sweet! We're the good guys again!
- Okay, next time, we're going to Mexico!
Cyborg
[edit]- I can rebuild my car. I can repair my tower. But my sofa? (crying) I can't even look.
- (to Robin, who says they should go home) Are you out of your spiky-headed little mind?! We are in TOKYO, man! We gotta look around! See the town! [pulls out a camera and snaps a stunned Robin's photo]
- [Upon seeing his "All you can eat" buffet given by the chef] BOO-YAH!!!
Raven
[edit]- [to Beast Boy, as he looks ready to mess around with a huge number of buttons] Don't. Touch. ANYTHING.
- Thirty million people, a hundred thousand stores, and in this entire city, the only thing to read is gum.
- [To Beast Boy, who is complaining about a huge stain on his shirt putting off girls] Your skin is green, you have fangs, and your ears are pointed. You're really worried about the shirt?
- I know English, German, Latin, Romanian, Ancient Sumerian, and Sanskrit. Do you have ANYTHING I can read?
- [Starfire asks Raven if she's made new friends in Toyko] No, but l somehow wound up as a mascot for gum. [eats gum in an advertising screen, then pops a bubble]
Dialogue
[edit]- Robin: Since you're new in town, we're going to make this very simple.
- Starfire: Stop now!
- Cyborg: Yeah, man. The locals don't like it when you blow up their stuff.
- Robin: Put your hands in the air and-
- Saico Tek: (follows orders, but immediately leaps clear of the lamppost and takes off)
- Beast Boy: Hands in the air, dude, not your whole body!
- Raven: (disgustedly) Tourists.
- Beast Boy: Whoo-yeah! Hello, Japan! So, when do we get to go see the Great Wall?
- Raven: Never. It's in China.
- Raven: I know English, German, Latin, Romanian, Ancient Sumerian, and Sanskrit. Do you have ANYTHING I can read?
- (The shop vendor offers a pack of Super Twinkle Donkey Gum)
- Cyborg: Think you can make a meal out of me? You don't have the guts!
- (The yellow robot bites off the muzzle of Cyborg's cannon arm)
- Cyborg: Or maybe you do have the guts.
- Beast Boy: Um, hi. How do I get to Shinjuku?
- Man: Ee? Sumimasen. Eigo ga wakaranai desu, tasukete wo rigari naru nai. ["Hm? Excuse me. I don't speak English, so I can't help you."]
- Beast Boy: Uh-huh...mmm-hmm...okay, thanks. [nips back to the others, gives them a big grin, then lets it deflate into dejection] I have no idea what he said.
- Starfire: Perhaps, I may be of assistance. [After a quick look, he walks over to a Japanese boy and kisses him, much to the others' (except Raven) surprise, especially Robin's] Sumimasen kedo, Shinjuku wa docchi no houkou desu ka. ["Excuse me, but which way is Shinjuku?"]
- Boy: (points in one direction) Acchi da yo. ["That way."]
- Starfire: (bows) Doumo arigatou. ["Thank you".]
- Boy: (sighs) Daisuki. ["I love you."]
- Starfire: It is this way.
- Robin: Um, Starfire? Why did you just... kiss that guy?
- Starfire: Oh, the people of my planet are able to learn any language instantaneously through lip contact.
- Cyborg: So you speak Japanese now?
- Starfire: (nods) Mm-hm.
- Cyborg: That's great!
- (Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy walk off, leaving Robin behind)
- Robin: (sulky) Yeah. Great...
- (He reluctantly follows after them)
- Man: (pointing into sky) Nigerou! Taihen da! Kaibutsu ga densen o kitteru zo! (runs off)
- Raven: What are they saying?
- Starfire: "Run! The monster is attacking the power lines".
- Beast Boy: Ugh! How am I supposed to pick up hot Japanese girls with a big green stain on my shirt?
- Raven: Your skin is green, you have fangs, and your ears are pointed. You're really worried about the shirt?
- Beast Boy: Hey! Chicks dig the ears!
- Starfire: Uh, Robin? About that boy and the... lip contact?
- Robin: Yeah, is that why you kissed me when we first met - to learn English?
- Starfire: (nods) On Tamaran, it signifies merely the transfer of information, but on your world, it means...more. Or, so I have heard.
- Robin: (smiling at her, then acts embarrassed) Oh, "more"... heh, right. I mean yes, lip... contact is..., I-I've heard that too.
- (Starfire scoots closer to him while he is talking, then they grin at each other chuckling nervously, before suddenly backing off. Robin pulls out breath spray, Starfire sniffs her armpits, Robin smooths out his hair and cleans his teeth with his tongue, Starfire eats a bunch of breath mints, then they scoot back to each other)
- Robin: Hi.
- Starfire: Greetings.
- Robin: Starfire?
- Starfire: Yes, Robin?
- Robin: You know you're my... best friend, right?
- Starfire: And you are mine.
- Robin: I never want anything to get in the way of that.
- Starfire: Nothing ever could. (Their pinkies connect)
- (They lean in for a kiss)
- Robin: I know...
- Starfire: Then... we have nothing to fear...
- Robin: A hero is what I am, and if you don't like it-
- Starfire: Robin? I like it more than you will ever know.
- [Starfire flies off crying]
- Chef: (Struggling to find something Cyborg won't eat) Raw egg? Devilfish? Pickled sea cucumber? (Desperate) Cow eyes? OLD SHOE FULL OF WASABI?!
- Cyborg: (Chomp) What's for dessert?
- Robin: Speak English?
- Bartender: Yes.
- Robin: Good. This is the worst dive in the worst part of town, so I'm guessing you know a little something about Tokyo's criminals. I'm looking for Brushogun.
- Bartender: Ha! He's just a myth! (Robin grabs him by the collar) Troopers don't like us talking about him, alright? They say it inspires more criminals!
- Robin: Inspire me.
- Starfire: [To Robin] You are not the only one who has been pursued. We each were attacked, and barely escaped with our lives. [Pushes forward Robin's clothes and mask] But we believe this place will be safe, for the moment.
- Robin: Thank you.
- Starfire: [smiles and then turns to leave] I shall give you time to...
- Robin: [Takes her arm in his hand] Starfire?
- [They lean in to kiss, but Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven burst into the room]
- Beast Boy: Wassuuuuup?!
- Cyborg: Man, are you ever glad to see us!
- Robin: I am?
- Robin: Ink?
- Cyborg: Yeah, just like the stains on my armor, the streaks on Raven's cloak, and the lipstick from that girl who kicked BB's butt.
- Beast Boy: She was a catgirl!
- Uehara: (as Robin closes in, and evil laughing) Give it up, my friend. You cannot win.
- Robin: I'd say I just did.
- Uehara: You can knock me down all you like. Destroy me, if you wish. It doesn't change a thing! When this is over, everyone out there will still think you're a criminal. And the people of Tokyo will still call me a hero!
- Robin: (Icily) I know what it means to be a hero, Commander. And trust me - you are no hero.
- Robin: I think I was wrong before.
- Starfire: You do?
- Robin: Maybe... a hero isn't all that I am. Maybe I could be... m-maybe we could be-
- Starfire: Robin?
- Robin: Starfire?
- Starfire: [Pauses, and then smiles] Stop talking.
- (They finally kiss.)
- Cyborg: Well, it's about time!
- [The Titans are standing in front of a large crowd of Tokyo citizens after saving the city]
- Cyborg: (To Robin) So I guess you're not a wanted man anymore.
- [Cut to Robin and Starfire's interlocked hands]
- Robin: Mm, I wouldn't say that.
- [Last lines]
- Beast Boy: So, l guess we have to go home now, huh?
- Robin: You know, Beast Boy, sometimes, even heroes need a vacation. [He and Starfire look at each other, smiling. The entire crowd of Toyko cheers.]
- Beast Boy: OK, next time, we're going to Mexico.
- [Raven smacks Beast Boy]
