Gargoyles: Temptation

Reviewed: 07/27/2013

...And Really; Who Can Resist Demona?


Pointless Update: This is being done in Open Office 4.0. Ummm; yay? Yeah; what was the point of that? So; we move on to more character fleshing and this time we move to Brooklyn as he gets a bad encounter with humans himself and then gets swayed by Demona to work for her. And really; it's not that hard to be swayed by Demona even if you love humans actually. So let's rant on shall we....?!

This episode is written by Michael Reaves & Brynne Stephens (originally Brynne Chandler Reaves). Brynne was zombie number three in The Laughing Dead in 1989. She wrote episodes for He-Man as her debut in 1983 along with She-Ra, Potato Head Kids, Starcom: US Space Force, Sylvanian Families, TMNT 1987 edition, Dink; The Little Dinosaur, Peter Pan & The Pirates, The New Adventures of He-Man, Conan & The Young Warriors, Batman, Spiderman 1995 edition, Spiderman Unlimited (her most recent credit), Phantom 2040, Beverly Hills Teens and Dot & Spot's Magical Christmas Adventures. She also story edited Dinosaucers, and My Little Pony & Friends. That's it. 17 writing credits; five story editing credits. Gargoyles is her only DTVA appearance that I am aware of. Animation is done by Walt Disney Animation Japan. Additional services were provided by the following: Tama Pro and Jade Animation (who did backgrounds with Tama Pro).


We begin this one in a semi littered part of New York City as the police car is riding in the background. Then we pan over to outside of a junkyard (it's UNCENSORED BABEE!) and see Brooklyn, Broadway and Lexington doing arc welding. Lexington is doing most of it and wearing the face shield for protection as we discover that he has created a motorcycle in one full week. So he stands it up as Brooklyn grabs a piece of circular bronze shaped like a helmet and pokes two holes with his fingers so he can fit it on his head. Broadway mocks him for having a hard head. As opposed to your fat head Broadway? You shouldn't be the one talking about someone's body. And wouldn't having a hard head actually make the head injuries even WORSE? I mean; a real helmet is more than a hard shell on the outside you know. So Broadway gives Brooklyn a black leather jacket as he folds his wings in order to fit them. He puts it on and then puts those shades which somehow have morphed back to normal after getting shattered on the last episode. So Brooklyn gets on the motorcycle which looks far cooler than Darkwing Duck's and more of a dead ringer to something Batman would ride. So Brooklyn does a sequence of gunning the motorcycle and rides out of the junkyard as they watch on and they cheer. Then when he doesn't come back; they act like Spongebob and Patrick (fitting since Broadway has Patrick Star's voice) asking when they will get their turn. Demona is watching from the top right of the screen in shadow. At least this one makes sense this time. So we get closeups of the motorcycle and ride through NYC as Brooklyn is happy. We see Demona flying in the sky and despite all the attempts to place her in shadow; it's obviously her.

So we head to outside of a doughnut shop as the police car is sitting right in front of it while we have a black police officer eating a sesame seed bagel with coffee. Which is actually more healthy than most doughnut spots; so points for that at least. So Brooklyn speeds by and despite the police noticing the motorcycle about 500 feet away; they are absolutely helpless and spill their coffee on cue. Bad episode police indeed! So the officers buckle their seat belts (Dora: So we can be safe!) and we give chase in the alleyways for a while as they corner Brooklyn into a dead end; but there is a conveniently placed ramp (which seemly goes from being flat to curved in a matter of shots) and Brooklyn raises the front of the motorcycle and it goes into the air as Brooklyn spreads his wings and uses it as a hand glider as he floats right down to the other side. The car stops in front of the ramp way as I realize that the driver is the exact same officer who was talking to Eliza at the beginning of the pilot episode (Keith David's voice gave it away). The officer decides to forgo sugar despite the fact that he was eating something that looked like a bagel. Must be something in that sugar though. Brooklyn folds his wings again after he lands and then turns around to the exit of the alleyway to see a biker gang which he calls kinder spirits which is a running theme in this early story arc I should point out. So Brooklyn rides out of the alley and rides behind the biker gang as they notice him when Brooklyn is turning around and they all stop on a dime. The backgrounds during the driving sequences look more and more like cardboard as the years roll by. At least this show hasn't stooped to Darkwing Duck's low of cardboard in still shots. Yet.

The bikers all praise his Batman lookalike as they all get off. I should point out that I cannot take the leader of this gang seriously as a threat. He is wearing a purple doo-rag and a purple shirt with a black vest. Having Drake Mallard's fashion sense is a death knell in a macho-equse type gang like a motorcycle gang. BLAM! HEE HEE! Missed again Drake! YOU ARE NOT WORTHY! Huh? No punch in the kisser? Must be fighting Steelbeak again; probably after Steelbeak outclassed Darkwing Duck during Comic Con 2013. So the Purple People Eater with black vest praises the motorcycle as Brooklyn explains that his friends helped him build it and the bikers all seem fine with that...until Brooklyn takes the helmet off. They call Brooklyn a freaking monster. Yes folks; someone said the word "freaking" on this show. Freaking is usually one step removed from saying the word "f*cking". Which would have been amazing; if I didn't hear Baloo say "It f*cking worked!" in Plunder and Lightning part four. Yeah; they are scared of him and they run in and grab Brooklyn and find the best way to make it look like a gang rape and make the punches actually make contact without actually showing it since the camera angle is so positioned perfectly that you couldn't see it even if BS&P allowed you to see it of not. Brooklyn shoves them away and the guy with blue jeans flies into the blue shaped motorcycle. HA! Brooklyn is pissed off white eyes mode now as everyone runs in and tries the football pile on spot; but Brooklyn manages to get up and throw them all away as Brooklyn is explaining that he was only trying to fit in; but the bikers don't care. Geez; the Hell's Angels are getting their asses kicked here.

So the Purple People Biker Leader bring out his pistol which has clearly been BS&P'ed to not look like a real pistol. If there is one show other than TaleSpin where saying that this is a special day when the guns are not pulled out; this is one of those shows. Although TaleSpin's guns either look legit real; or look steam punked to add flair to the show's look. They are building up Deadly Force real nice aren't they? So Leader is about to shoot to kill; but Demona in shadow swipes the gun away with her tail and it shoots and misses Brooklyn; but causes his motorcycle to blow up in the background. Brooklyn is now really pissed off and goes into white eyes mode as Demon does the back to back spot while the other gang members come in with chains and stuff; but they are easily subdued. I don't understand why Demona is in shadow; it's clearly her and even Brooklyn should have noticed by now. So Leader shoots at Brooklyn's feet (oh so now he's a poor crack shot. Might as well not have Demona come in because they kept her in shadow and it looks stupid.); so both Demona and Brooklyn flee into the alley and climb up the building. The leader doesn't even bother to follow them and just shoots his gun until it runs out of bullets; and then gets on his bike and drives away leaving his posse behind. None of this makes any sense. So Brooklyn is flying around as Demona is not with him despite us clearly seeing her leading Brooklyn away up the wall. Why? Brooklyn lands on top of a building and looks around as Demona is hiding for no reason that I can think of.

And to make it look even stupider; Brooklyn calls out for Lexington and Broadway which makes no sense since when it's clearly Demona and the flames of the motorcycle should have exposed Demona right there. Again; making her in shadow when she is in front of the flaming motorcycle looks REALLY STUPID. Thankfully; Demona speaks with her red eyes and she's fully covered in darkness with just the eyes showing. Now why not just do that in the pilot and make it more suspenseful? Idiots! Demona shows up in the flesh as Brooklyn backs up. Demona wants to talk; while Brooklyn wants to leave as he perches himself on the steel railing while Demona explains that she shouldn't have shot at him because she spent countless hundreds of years dealing with the humans. In other words; the whole "sleep spell" thing; she made it up. She was on the run from the humans all this time which means gargoyles can live for a thousand years and never age. Don't worry folks; they will explain this plot hole in about five or six episodes or so. Brooklyn doesn't trust her as Demona talks about the old days of fighting side by side together as Brooklyn wants Demona to stay back. Demona explains that she saved his life which is laughable because it's clear the biker leader cannot shoot the broadside of a barn anyway; and asks for a moment of his time. Brooklyn decides to listen to her as we pan up to the moon light being covered with clouds which in animation world; that is a sign of impending doom coming.

So we head back to the castle as Broadway and Lexington are swooping down from the skies and land perfectly on the rampart. Then we head inside to the living room as Goliath is reading books while Hudson and Bronx are watching television again. Okay; that made me giggle for some reason. They are watching some female curly haired lady asks someone if he is Elvis in a sarcastic manner. So the door opens and in comes Lex and Broadway as Goliath asks where Brooklyn is and Lex claims that he's joyriding. Goliath does this confused deadpan of the word joyriding and it's funnier because Hudson is watching a comedy and the moment Goliath said "joyriding" in that deadpan confused voice of his; the background crowd laughs. Even better; Goliath completely no sells it either and goes back reading. Yeah; he doesn't give a crap what Brooklyn does anymore. So we scene change to Brooklyn and Demona exchanging notes on her past. Demona claims that she wants to help the gargoyles and asks Brooklyn about what happened and asked if he provoked them to attack him. Brooklyn states that he did nothing and Demona points out that this is what humans are like. I love real comments that aren't supposed to be real comments. Brooklyn tries to explain Goliath's position and Demona points out that they were used to them 1000 years ago and that still made them look like monster heels that Brooklyn has no idea what levels humans will stoop to. Demona offers Brooklyn his hand to show him what horrors these humans would invoke and Brooklyn teases no selling; but then grabs the hand and they both fly into the sky which ends the segment nearly nine minutes in. Would have been better if they screw up Demona's appearance. If they were going for suspense; then it was a bad decision on their part.

After the commercial break; we see Brooklyn and Demona flying around the skyline in the moonlight on the far shot and then they land on top of a building to watch a mugger having a tug-of-war with a lady's purse. This is silly because it's a human getting attacked by another human and we saw this happen before in the pilot with Goliath! Demona points out that even if he gets justice; he'll be in jail for a day and he'll be let go. Ummm; no Demona; it would be longer, just not long enough. You don't have to hyperbole it to impress Brooklyn. Then we go to a house as we see a wife and husband arguing over his son's grades and having hoodlum friends. The wife in the house even throws a vase at the husband which misses him by a foot and the vase pieces shatter and not one shard makes contact with him. Oh well; better luck next time. Even stranger; the boy they were talking about (the one with the yellow shirt) run out of the house crying. Demona claims that this is evidence that they cannot share their homes together without fighting. Then we get to one of those scenes where you can tell this is not the Disney everyone knows: we head into the streets of NYC as the police and ambulance have arrived as a MURDER has occurred. While they don't show the actual body (despite the fact that in the far shot; they show the body in shadow) on the closeup (it's a white chalk line; the BS&P cue of a murder); they do show the body on a stretcher covered in a cloth being rolled into the ambulance. I mention this because in Dragon Ball Z and The Big O; they removed similar scenes like this. Red Cross is shown here too. So we pan up to the building as Demona claims that they hold human lives without worth. She claims that this is not the worst of this as she wants Goliath to see the truth.

Brooklyn mentions Elisa (I guess that's how Disney Captions spells it; but I still think Eliza is the proper spelling of the name) and Demona admits that she might be the exception to the rule (which is funny considering that it was her who caused the chain of events in the finish and nearly got Demona killed); but Demona proclaims that she cannot protect them from the humans anyway because she's outnumbered. Demona then dares Brooklyn to stick his head out. Why? There's no real reason to do that Demona. If the murderer was at the scene of the crime; then this dare would make sense. Brooklyn no sells this deal and Demona proclaims that he made the right choice because they would shoot him like dog. No Demona; the provoker would have been Brooklyn because he took your dare where there was no threat to accept such a dare. The mugger on the street would have made more sense. Heck; the fight with the biker gang should have been enough to convince him. This is randomized script writing and it eliminates a lot of justification for Demona's hatred towards humans. Anyway; Demona proclaims that the humans will keep on hating them; just like THE PACK~ used Goliath and Lexington for sport in the previous episode. This would probably tacked on to prove that this was a serial series. Brooklyn is shocked to hear this and then Brooklyn decides that Demona has the right viewpoint and asks how to convince Goliath that the truth is humans are bad. Demona has an idea called the Grimorum Arcanorum. I just realized that this is the name of the spell book under glass that the Magus used that is in the castle at Xanatos' office. Demona wants him to steal the book so she can use the spell of truth in it's page. Once Goliath's eyes are opened; the rest will follow. Okay.

So we scene change back to the castle as Hudson and Goliath are worried about Brooklyn not returning and it's almost daybreak. Brooklyn has flown back and basically ignores looking at Goliath while Goliath asks about his joyride. Brooklyn called it illumating. Ummm; yeah, that was hardly a straight answer. Then Elisa shows up to inform Goliath that Xanatos sentence is up in one month's time and Goliath blows it off because he has heard as much and asks why this concerns her. Elisa proclaims that it's still too dangerous to be here and has a solution to their problem with Xanatos' return. Goliath doesn't care because Xanatos has been defeated as he cannot wrap around his head that Xanatos still OWNS the property including the castle. Brooklyn tries to explain that what would happen if Xanatos tries to reclaim the castle; and Goliath proclaims that they will handle it when they cross the bridge. The storyline is that Goliath doesn't want to leave because he left to scare off the vikings in the pilot; but it was a decoy to have them not make it back to the castle on time and turn into stone. This is pointless because all Hakon had to do was wait until sunrise and then attack the castle while the gargoyles slept. Easy. No decoy needed. And remember that it was Captain who wanted the decoy. More on that later on. Brooklyn tries to argue; but the sun rises and everyone is turned to stone to sleep the gargoyle sleep. Eliza states that this is one way to avoid a conversation. I love real comments that aren't supposed to be real comments. So we get a long sequence of looking at landmarks while the sun rises and sets. Then a northeast pan of the castle as nightfall finally sets in and the gargoyles break from their sleep and Goliath's back is to the hard camera. Ummm; yeah, that was dumb.

So Goliath, Hudson and Bronx go towards the inside of the castle to read books and watch television as usual. Broadway and Lexington want breakfast because that is the Tummi Broadway way! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! They ask for Brooklyn to join in; but Brooklyn states that he'll have breakfast later on. So Broadway and Lexington fly down to the castle doors towards the kitchen as Brooklyn waits until no one is nearby and then swoops down towards the entrance of the castle (the same one used when Xanatos and Eliza walked into the first time together) and practices the fine art of not being seen. He runs into the entrance and then opens the doors to Xanatos' office. He notices the spell book under glass secured by a push button lock. So Brooklyn destroys the button panel on the edge of what the book was sitting on and opens the glass to swipe the book. He then runs off and flies away from the castle to an abode like temple (one where the yard is also in the middle of the house) as Brooklyn swoops down and lands. Demona appears from the shadows; happy to see that he came. Brooklyn gives her the book and Demona is happy with this. She skims through it as Brooklyn agrees to lure Goliath into the trap of truth telling; and Demona agrees with it and proclaims that he can take his sweet time doing it because the spell is complex and requires more studying. When someone with knowledge sezs that; it's a signal that she is going to turn on Brooklyn anyway.

Brooklyn flies back to the castle where Goliath and waiting and pondering. Wow; even reading books has bored him. One of the zoom in shots makes Goliath look awful. Anyhow; Brooklyn lands next to him and explains that he seen this wonderful place called the Cloisters. I'm guessing that is where Demona lives now. He asks if he wants to see it and Goliath agrees to it without a second thought. So we fly around the city for a while; which is breathtaking to see, and we finally land in the middle garden of the Cloisters which is the house I mentioned earlier. Goliath proclaims that this is beautiful and wished he brought the others. Then Demona appears out of nowhere proclaiming that he was better off not doing that. Yeah sure Demona. You know that if he brought the others; it would still be six on two in Goliath's favor. And sure enough; the moment Demona shows up in full form; Brooklyn joins with her to complete the quasi-heel turn which shocks Goliath. That ends the segment 14 and a half minutes in. As a plot; this was great, but the execution seems to be off more so than The Thrill Of The Hunt was. Just because these plot lines are neat; doesn't mean that you cannot skimp on execution. I'm just saying...

...After the commercial break; we see Goliath saying that Demona has survived and Demona proclaims that she always survives. That sounds like Kit in a nutshell doesn't it? Well; the fanfiction version of Kit anyway. Goliath notices the spell book and realizes now that Brooklyn has turned on him. Brooklyn acts like a babyface asking Goliath to at least consider what she is saying. Demona then starts to chant and it produces a green bomb like particle that blasts into Goliath's body and Goliath sells as if he's a lime green eyed zombie. Demona then states that humans are our enemies and Goliath repeats it. UH OH! Yeap; Demona has turned on Brooklyn as I expected as Brooklyn claims that this is not part of the deal; he wanted to free his mind and not enslave it. Demona counters that this is the only truth he will ever know which is humans are our enemies. Personally; there are much more believable ways to do it then the usual cartoonish way of doing things. I personally wrote the beginnings of a fanfic where Baloo crash landed in a magical land where there were no written laws and the kaiser of the kingdom wanted to get revenge on the infidels who were influencing their culture. So a scientist in his care had planned to create a killing machine by pampering Baloo for a while; and then show him the horrors of western culture through rejected Starrywood films (because in those days; the most violent aspects of the film were cut out and somehow the scientist got them; haven't decided how and never will since I stopped writing fanfiction since 2007 I think.) over and over again until he was conditioned to kill Uslandians including his best friend Kit; which ends with Baloo being saved by Kit's love for him. However; BS&P RULEZS; so there you go.

Now where was I? Oh yeah; Brooklyn calls Demona insane and demands the book now. If Demona is smart; she would chant the spell on him too and have them attack Wyvern Castle. Sadly; that doesn't happen as Brooklyn tackles Demon down as Demona wants him to trust her and Brooklyn blows her off and goes white eye pissy mode. So Demona orders Goliath to restrain him as Goliath slowly walks like a zombie while Demona gets attacked by Brooklyn on screen. Wow. No male on female contact? What no male on female contact? Goliath grabs him and forces him back; but Brooklyn kicks him in the gut (on-screen) and steps back trying to plea with Goliath to stop; but no dice. Brooklyn tears down a door and falls on his ass in the process. Goliath slowly walks in as Demona follows into the room and proclaims that she doesn't want to hurt him and this is the only way. She claims that the spell is not forever and he is in control for whomever holds the spell. Demona proclaims that they can protect him from is naivety until their goals are met. Ummm; Brooklyn has already turned on you (or more to the fact that you turned on him) and proves it by trying to take Goliath from behind, but his wrist is grabbed by Goliath. Goliath throws him into the wall with a good bump as Demona proclaims that she has no choice now and takes my advice for a change. There is a tease of Brooklyn selling and then stops selling and tease grabbing her ankle on the hard camera; but on the sky shot, Demona starts to chant and Brooklyn uses his tail to swipe the book away and it goes about 20 yards and falls on the floor. Brooklyn pounces on the book and opens it as Demona swoops down and grabs him. Sadly; we hear paper tearing before this which gives away the finish in advance...

...Demona has the book as she orders Goliath to destroy him. Oh please BS&P! You can say kill in this cartoon. Demona proclaims that she holds the book which is stupid because she already said that only the keeper of the spell has control over Goliath as Brooklyn proclaims that he has the spell in his hand which is the teared out pages of the spell book. Magus is so going to be pissed after this; I swear to God! Which is fitting since we look to be in a church. So Brooklyn orders Goliath to take her and we have one of the more lamer fights in the series as BS&P did their damnest; not to allow Goliath to make contact with her unless the storyline demanded it. In fact; Demona basically dropped the tapestry on Goliath; while Goliath drives her through the stained glass church window; with the safest bump ever seen. Then they fly out and Goliath gives chase while Brooklyn follows. Demona tears out a spell book page; Goliath jumps after and drives her into the ground with the second most safest bump ever seen and then they get up with trees in the background. Yeah; this is lame. Thankfully; Demona finds a conveniently placed boulder which looks bigger than her and pulls it from the ground. YES! This fight finally is getting better. Sadly; Goliath dodges it and it destroys the tree. So much for the fight because Brooklyn flies in and Demona grabs the book while saying that even without free will; he is still a force to be reckoned it. Demona runs to the cliff and proclaims that Brooklyn has won (of course he has. You got squashed by Goliath in a fight that was in your favor.) and she drops the book off the cliff and then flies away much to Brooklyn's dismay. I should point out that Demona ripped out another page from the book for no good reason that I can think of for the moment.

So Brooklyn flies down the cliff as the book bounces off the cliff and teases going into the water; but Brooklyn grabs it with about three feet of air to spare and flies up to meet with Zombie Goliath. Brooklyn proclaims that it's time to go home and Goliath obeys him without question. So we see Brooklyn and Goliath return to Castle Wyvern as all the babyfaces look on from the ramparts while Brooklyn is panicking about not finding a spell to reverse the effects. This would have been better if Brooklyn didn't have the magic spells to make Goliath obey and that Demona stole them from Brooklyn before dropping the book. That way; the ripped spell page spot would make more sense. Brooklyn apologizes for his idiocy as Lex proclaims that they cannot defeat the spell. Eliza has an idea in that they use the spell against it, instead of defeating it. So Brooklyn gives Eliza the magic spell page and Eliza tells Goliath that she holds the page and must obey her. Her orders are simple: For the rest of his life; he will act as if he were not under a spell. Everyone waits as Goliath teases the spell not working; and then turns normal eyed and is back to normal. And for those of you who watched TaleSpin; this is the same finish to Destiny Rides Again when Baloo took the idol of doom and made it destroy itself. Everyone pops for the repeat finish; but that's fine since it is still a neat finish anyway. Brooklyn apologizes again; and Goliath waves it off since he heard it the first time; but couldn't say anything.

Brooklyn talks about believing in Demona's "truth" and Goliath explains that what she said was a half truth that she has embraced like a fetish. Brooklyn didn't buy that all humans were bad (which he demonstrated earlier in the episode; so it makes sense) and Goliath calls Elisa clever. So we wrap this up with the gargoyles on their perches as Goliath wants some sleep. So Lexington asks about the motorcycle and Brooklyn proclaims that it blew up. Sadly; he doesn't mention it was Demona's fault for making the biker gang leader shooting it. Lex ignores it and then gets the LIGHT BULB OF BLOODY CLAIRTY; but before he can protest, the sun comes up out of nowhere and the gargoyles turn to stone. HA! Elisa looks at the sunlight as the sun rises slowly in the city skyline and then she walks out with the spell book; as we get a zoom in shot of Lexington and that ends the episode and Disc One of this set at 21:17. This was okay; but there was nothing really epic or anything that makes it better than Batman. It felt like a lame Batman episode actually. I mean; the biker gang can say freaking which is taboo; but Demona tells Goliath to destroy Brooklyn? This did have a really neat finish and ending; so I'll call it *** (60%).


THE REVIEW LINE

Okay; I was this close to giving this episode the first thumbs down of the series (a marginal thumbs down; but still..), but the finish and ending did pull it through. Now there was some impressive stuff like the motorcycle Lexington built and Brooklyn actually riding it and looking reasonably cool. I do like the fact that you can show the body of a dead person as long as it's under covers (Sure; they did that for the finish of Balooest of Blueboods, but only the head is covered and it was a fake death scene anyway) and saying the word freaking (even though Baloo has already gone one step further in spite of Disney Captions saying otherwise). I also laughed when Goliath no sold the fact that Brooklyn was joyriding and when the television was laughing "at him". That was great. The finish and ending was really good too; albeit a relic from TaleSpin as well (Hey; if you want a great show, steal from the best at least.). So it's not like this was bad or anything. The biggest problem is that it felt like a lame Batman episode where the fighting was lame for the most part (although that can be blamed on BS&P since it was Goliath Vs. Demona) and despite all the stuff Demona showed to prove to Brooklyn that humans are evil; it looked so low rent since most of the stuff could have been distilled into Demona pointing out how Hakon destroyed them; how THE PACK~ hunted them earlier and of course the motorcycle blow up by the biker gang. Those would have been enough to convince anyone that humans are bad to Brooklyn. It was there to waste time and show off that "Disney lets us do this stuff now".

I also found Demona's method of seeing the truth to being nothing more than a Saturday Morning Cartoonish plot device. If you are going to do something believable; you could at least cast a spell that makes him actually "see Demona's reality of humans slaughtering their kind" in his head. Sure; it is still magic; but it is more believable to the audience. Overall; this was so far; the low point of this early series. Man; I thought this show would maintain steam throughout, but it's fizzling out faster than I expected once critical thought it put to it. TaleSpin was much stronger than this show early on. Thankfully; the next episode is the beginning of Disc 2 and it's Deadly Force which is historic for a lot of reasons, and it was finally going to do something few cartoons have the guts to do: Show the consequences. I'll also explain why this is a plotline TaleSpin should have had at some point. So....

Thumbs in the middle for this episode and I'll see you all next time.
