In the EHP HQs, Jimmy, Kari, and Giroux are waiting for Ryan and Carey to bring Tuukka.
"I said to do it quick, right?" Jimmy asks his teammates.
Giroux looks up from his laptop. "Yeea."
"Okay, good."
Kari is playing on his iPad. "So...Claude, who did you choose as your quarterback?"
Giroux looks at his laptop. "Uhhh...Michael Veeck." (Michael Vick.)
"Oh. Well, I chose Tony Romo."
"Who the heck are these people you are speaking of?" Jimmy exclaims.
"Uh...they're uh quarterbacksh," Giroux answers.
"For our Fantasy Football Team!" Kari adds excitedly.
Giroux looks at Kari's iPad. "Sherioushly, Kari? You jush practically made up duh whole Dallash Cowboy team."
"Well, I am loyal to my city's team. You have a problem with that?"
"Uh...nooo...."
Ryan barges into the room. "We're baaaaaaack!!!"
"It's about time!" Jimmy shouts. "Where is he?"
Tuukka Rask comes into the room, dragging Carey by his ankle.
"Ow, ow, ow," Carey says quickly, "let go of me, please let go of me--OW!"
Tuukka drops Carey.
"Well, that's the first time I see my new teammate pulling my old teammate," Jimmy mutters to himself.
"Tuukka says do you speak Finnish?" Tuukka asks in a deep voice.
"No...."
"Tuukka doesn't like that. But--" He clears his throat. "--I am, my name, my name is Ruukka Task. No, no, no, no, Tuukka Rask. I am strong, very strong and, and I-I like pizza. No, no, no, no, I have good sense."
"Olen suomalainen tiedät," Kari says, looking at Tuukka with boredom and a fist on his cheek. (I'm Finnish, you know.)
"Todella?!" (Really?!)
"Hm-hm." Kari nods his head.
"Puhutko Englanti hyvin?" (Do you speak English well?)
"Kyllä." (Yes.)
"Jäähdytä! Olen todella huono, joten voit kääntää minulle?" (Cool! I'm really bad, so can you translate for me?)
"Toki." (Sure.)
"What are you guys speaking?!" Jimmy exclaims.
"Finnish," Kari answers calmly.
"But I don't know any Finnish!"
"Tuukka is very, very not...good with English...so..." Tuukka turns to Kari. "Mikä sinun nimesi on?" (What's your name?)
"Kari. Kari Lehtonen."
"Oikea. So...Kari, he's go...ing to tr...tr...." (Right.)
"Translate."
"Mikä tahansa. My Fin...Finnish to Eng...English." (Whatever.)
"You gotta be kidding me." Jimmy turns to Kari. "Kari?"
"Yes, Master?"
"Take Tuukka on a mission. Y'know, the usual, okay?"
Kari stands up quickly. "Alright!"
"Mitä?" Tuukka asks. (What?)
"Aiomme lähetystyöhön," Kari tells Tuukka. (We are going on a mission.)
"Rakastan tehtäviä!" Tuukka runs out of the room. (I love missions!)
"Kari, please teach English to Tuukka," Jimmy tells Kari.
"Don't worry, I'll make him a pro soon!" Kari smiles and walks out of the room.
