[Master Wu] "The News Never Sleeps!"
[alarm clock buzzes]
This is it. This is it!
[upbeat music]
Honey! Time to wake up!
[Nelson] I'm up, Mum.
Nelson? Why are you--
I'm starting today, remember? As a paperboy.
I gotta run. See ya, Mum.
Wait, wait. I'll make you a sandwich.
I already did. It's in my bag.
I gotta get my bike ready.
[panting]
Hey, forget something?
-Mum, please. I'm gonna be late. -[smooches]
What do you do when you get to an intersection?
Look both directions.
I'm not six anymore, Mum.
I know, I know. Just be careful.
We don't want any more boo-boos, right?
-I will, I promise. -Oh!
[chuckles] Fresh meat, huh?
How long you think he's gonna last?
Eh, don't listen, kid. You'll be fine.
A buck says he doesn't make it to the end of the day.
[gate latch opens]
Hey, listen up. Announcements.
[clears throat] Routes 7 and 9 are closed
due to hostile conditions.
And Route 23 is designated quadruple black diamond.
Avoid with extreme prejudice.
-Got it? -[cyclists chatter indistinctly]
Ten-Speed and Spokes are out with injuries,
and Knuckles, uh, quit.
-[cyclists groaning] -[girl] Man!
[clears throat] So that leaves us short,
but we'll manage, right?
Right? Does the news sleep?
[all] The news never sleeps!
Oh, yeah, one more thing.
Uh, we got a new paperboy.
What's your name again, kid?
Uh, N... Nelson?
N... Nelson, you're with Antonia.
Show him the ropes, Antonia, bring him back alive.
All right then.
Kick the tires! Light the fires!
Let's go!
[suspenseful music]
Ready, kid?
What... what did he mean, bring me back alive?
Hey, relax. Do what I say, when I say,
and you'll make it. I promise.
Make it? Why wouldn't I make it?
What do you mean, make it?
-It's Ninjago City. -[toots horn]
What? Wait. Wait for me.
[Nelson panting]
[bell chimes]
-[cars honk] -[Nelson yelling]
[car honks, screeches]
What... what's that?
[fireballs whistle]
[Nelson screams shakily]
[roars]
[yelling]
[growls]
[Serpentines roar]
[Nelson] Wait.
What's happening? Why are there giant snakes?
And why are they falling out of the sky?
-And why are they made of fire? -Who knows?
Just keep your head down, and keep pedalling.
How is that gonna help?
Wait. Wait!
[man screams]
[hisses]
[Nelson] That's Samurai X, fighting three giant snakes.
Wait for my cue, and when I say,
go as fast as you can. Got it?
Now! Burn rubber!
Burn? [gasps]
Excuse me. Coming through.
[roars]
Hey, come on.
-He needs our help. -Trust me, kid, he doesn't.
He's got this.
Wow.
What'd I tell you? Can we go now?
[Nelson] Is it always like that out here?
Like what?
Missiles and monsters and snakes
and lava balls and giant robots?
-[explosion in distance] -[Antonia] Pretty much.
Another time, it was a giant stone monster
and a bunch of crazy bikers.
Aw, man.
My lunch got hit by a fireball.
Go on.
Thanks.
We paperboys gotta stick together.
The city's crazy, but everyone's doing their part.
We may not be ninja, but our job's important, too.
People gotta know what's going on.
The news never sleeps.
[upbeat music]
[growls]
I'll go left, you go right.
[roars]
[growls]
[whistle tweeting]
Thanks, new guy.
Thanks, Antonia.
What's that?
-[Clutch screaming] Help! -[Antonia] I have no clue.
[Clutch groans]
[siren blaring]
Gee, Mister. You okay?
[stammers] Where am I? What day is it?
What? It's Monday.
You're in Ninjago City.
You must have hit your head pretty hard.
I gotta warn someone. I gotta tell them.
-Tell them what? -The Ninja. They're trapped.
They need help!
Trapped? Where? How?
The pyramid. Someone's gotta...
[groans] Get to the pyramid,
to help them, before...
Before...
[groans]
Before...
[gasps]
[siren wailing]
He'll be okay. Don't worry.
Hey, what about what he said?
About the Ninja?
We're paperboys, kid.
That's a little out of our league.
Which way is the monastery?
Forget it.
It's not our problem.
You said we have a responsibility.
It's our job to let people know what's happening.
[Nelson] The news never sleeps, remember?
The monastery is that way.
And the only way there from here is Route 23.
Which you don't want. Trust me.
"Everyone has to do their part."
Those were your words.
[sighs]
Okay, kid. But stick close.
This could get hairy.
-[siren wails] -[glass shatters]
This way!
[suspenseful music]
[snake roars]
This is it. Route 23.
Still sure you wanna try it?
-[explosion] -[snake roars]
Oh, no.
Come on. It's now or never.
Wait. I'm not sure this was a good idea.
Too late! Just do what I do, and you'll make it.
Come on!
-[tires screech] -[Antonia grunts, pants]
Your turn. Come on!
No, no, no, wait. No way.
No, no, no, no, no. I can't do that.
[Antonia] You gotta! You don't have a choice!
Come on!
[growls]
Ninja never quit.
[snake roars]
[gasping]
Nothing broken?
I'm alive. I'm alive!
Told ya you could do it.
[snake snarls]
-[panting] -I... I can't believe...
We're here.
We're actually here.
Hope you know what you're gonna say, kid.
Me? Why me?
This was your idea.
May I help you?
You're... you're...
Go on, tell him.
We found a guy in the city who crashed into some bushes
riding a fireball,
and he told us the ninja are in trouble.
What? Where? How?
He said they were trapped in a pyramid.
In the desert.
And you came all this way to tell me?
Just doing our part, sir.
Like everyone else.
[Master Wu] Thank you, my son.
You remind me of another young boy
who was once a student of mine.
His name was Lloyd.
I must tell Pixal.
Thank you, both of you.
Straight home now. Go!
And please, be careful.
He just compared me to the Green Ninja.
Did you hear that?
I heard it.
Come on, purple ninja.
The news never sleeps.
