Scrooge McDuck vs Shovel Knight (2017)

Ben B. Singer: Wiz - Host

Quotes 

• Wiz - Host : Some people adventure for wealth. For some people, the wealth is in the adventure.

  Boomstick - Host : Either way, you'll be successful if you can bounce off your enemies' heads.

  Wiz - Host : Like Scrooge McDuck, the wealthiest waterfowl to ever live.

  Boomstick - Host : And Shovel Knight, a shining example of the code of shovelry.

• Wiz - Host : In 1867, Scrooge McDuck was born to a poor family in Glasgow, Scotland. He grew up a relatively normal duckling, until his tenth birthday.

  Boomstick - Host : Scrooge's father took him to see the remains of the old McDuck Clan castle. See, their family wasn't always super poor, and Scrooge was inspired by the sight of their former glory. So the next day, he got a job and earned his first money ever: a dime.

  Wiz - Host : Problem was, it was an American dime and Scrooge was in Scotland. Naturally feeling pretty cheated, Scrooge swore he'd build his fortune by being, I quote, "tougher than the toughies and sharper than the sharpies."

  Boomstick - Host : So he hopped over to America to start his quest for wealth, and judging by his money vault today, where he literally swims in gold, I'd say he did a pretty effin' good job.

  Wiz - Host : No obstacle is too difficult to keep him from fortune. By my estimations, his entire net worth today rests around three hundred quadrillion dollars.

• Wiz - Host : A long time ago the world was wild, and adventurers roamed the land, the most famous of whom were partners Shield Knight and Shovel Knight.

  Boomstick - Host : You can tell how good they are by the giant piles of loot behind 'em!

  Wiz - Host : Shovel Knight and Shield Knight traveled together and they were the stuff of legend! That is, until the Tower of Fate.

  Boomstick - Host : Once inside, a cursed amulet knocked Shovel Knight out cold. When he woke up, Shield Knight was gone and the tower was sealed shut, and boy, did that bum him out. So, like all depressed heroes, he abandoned everything and went to the wilderness to do a bunch of farming and most likely drinking.

  Wiz - Host : Soon after he "retired", an evil woman called the Enchantress took power, along with a group of villainous knights known as the Order of No Quarter. Heh, get it? That's funny. So maybe retiring wasn't the most responsible idea.

  Boomstick - Host : Man's gotta mourn, Wiz. Man's gotta mourn.

  Wiz - Host : You mean, like, when you took a week off to "mourn" after your divorce? Because I'm pretty sure all you did was get drunk and shoot fireworks at my house.

  Boomstick - Host : Ah, yeah. Man, that was a real good mourn.

• Boomstick - Host : [about Scrooge]  Rich as he is, he's gotta defend his treasure trove somehow. So this wealthy waterfowl's got more guns than I do! Not to mention the trusty cannons he has hidden around his manor. Ha ha, nothin' like some old fashioned artillery for home defense!

  Wiz - Host : Scrooge also has a number of unorthodox high-tech firearms.

  Boomstick - Host : Or as normal people call them, laser guns. My favorite is the one that can shoot through solid steel titanium. It's called the Burglar Stunner, but I'm pretty sure that'll do a hell of a lot more than stun you.

  Wiz - Host : Well, my favorite would be Scrooge's Neutra-Friction and Anti-Inertia rays. By removing a target's natural friction and inertia, these guns can turn a foe so slippery they can't grip anything, or take away all momentum from that foe's movement and weight. Without friction, a person will slide miles upon miles with no hope of stopping themselves. Without inertia, a cannonball will have even less impact than falling leaves, though it is important to note that these guns do not affect personal gravity.

  Boomstick - Host : Uh, yeah, science and stuff, though, if I were him, I'd prefer the feel of one of his rifles or swords.

  Wiz - Host : Or his signature sidearm, his trusty cane.

  Boomstick - Host : What's so special about a dusty old cane, you ask? Well, just look at the old quack go! Not every duck can turn their cane into both a club and a pogo stick.
