"The opening is very catchy." Topo says bopping his head slowly to smooth music.

Shadowsan: Trust me when I say that you will each be greatly rewarded for your part in capturing Carmen Sandiego.

"Rewarded with a kick to the face maybe." Player mutters.

Tigress: Ha, cha-ching ba-ling!

"Does she ever have anything intelligent to add to the situation?" Carmen asks.

Chevre: But, Shadowsan, the other instructors told us you have been missing.

Shadowsan: Keeping to the shadows was a necessary strategy until earlier today when I could finally inform my colleagues at the island that I once again had Carmen Sandiego in my sights. Not knowing who might have leaked our whereabouts at Countess Cleo's chateau in France, I opted to keep my movements secret, for we would have captured our traitor that night had we not been suddenly surrounded by police. Having no other recourse I chose to take extreme measures to keep up appearances in order to earn Carmen's trust. I then left quite an elaborate trail of breadcrumbs to lure her back into our clutches all over again.

"Thank you captain exposition, but that entire story was bull..."

"Player!" Carmen shouts.

"...crap." 

Chevre: But Black Sheep despised you. How could you possibly win her trust so quickly?

Shadowsan: By knowing where she is most vulnerable, by concocting falsehoods about her past, by telling her exactly what it was she wanted to hear.

Carmen: I'll make you eat those falsehoods.

"An angry Carmen is a dangerous Carmen." Zack says.

Shadowsan: Is it my fault you were foolish enough to believe that it was Coach Brunt who found you as a baby?

Carmen: What?

Shadowsan: And in Moscow, of all places. Coach Brunt has never even set foot in Russia.

"Ah, that makes sense. Letting Carmen know you're on her side while not giving away anything you know about her to those three." Gray says.

(Chevre, Topo and Tigress laugh along with Shadowsan. Shadowsan turns back to Carmen giving her an amused look.)

"Shadowsan laughing... I don't know how to feel about that." El Topo says.

Carmen: You... won't get away with this!

Shadowsan: I am afraid that I already did.

"This is actually hysterical." Ivy laughs.

Tigress: Ooh, snap! Good one, boss-a nova.

"Is she ever going to shut up?" Chase asks rolling her eyes.

Shadowsan: I shall personally escort our prisoner back to VILE island, where I will ensure the appropriate punishment. Before I do, the gemstones?

"What exactly would the appropriate punishment be?" Jules asks.

"If Carmen were returned to the island, a fate far worse then the wiper awaits her." Shadowsan says. Carmen turns to the samurai and despite his stoic look she can see the concern in his eyes. 

Topo: Tonight, in the belly of the beast... Ooh!

"What beast? We gotta fight the Chupacabra?" Zack asks.
