(In the castle...)
Johan: Sad to say, Sire, but in fact this Nicholas who claims to be a great inventor is really just a fraud.
Peewit (scornfully): In other words, Your Majesty: a con man!!
The Good King (frowning): This accusation is quite serious. Do you have any proof?
Johan: Well, Sire, the fact is... (The talk is interrupted with the guards bringing Edmund and Nicholas - this last one with a black eye and bleeding nose.)
The Good King (startled): But... but what does this mean, after all?
Guard: This young man attacked the inventor unexpectedly with no reason, Your Majesty!
Nicholas (in a moaning voice): Sire, for pity’s sake, have this madman arrested! He's a monster! Only God knows what he's bound to do next time when...
The Good King: Wait a moment, sir. Now I'd like to hear this young man in order to know the reason why he beat you so severely. (To Edmund) At first, what's your name?
Edmund (in a calm and polite way): Very well, Sire. My name is Edmund, and I'm an inventor.
The Good King: You, an inventor too?
Nicholas (shouting in despair): NO, NO! HE'S LYING! Don't believe him, Your Majesty, he's nothing but a...
Papa Smurf (off screen voice breaking in his protest): The only liar here is just you, Nicholas!
(Everyone sees Papa Smurf and the Smurfs - Clockwork carrying Handy in his arms - entering the throne room. They stare at Nicholas with barely contained anger.)

Nicholas: You!!! What are you doing here?!
Hefty: We were about to smurf you the same thing!
Good King: The Smurfs? What’s going on?
Smurfette: Your Highness, Nicholas is nothing but a con artist! He’s been using other inventions to gain fame! He recently worked poor Handy to the smurf, and look what happened to him!

Papa Smurf: He smurfnapped Handy in order to steal his ideas and smurfed him up in the castle dungeon to force him to work with no rest!
Johan: So this explains that moment when he asked permission to leave!
Peewit: Yeah! This good-for-nothing rascal had it all planned out.

Papa Smurf: Not yet, my little Smurflings, there's something else. (Pointing at Edmund) Your Majesty, it's this brave and honest young man who is the true inventor and used to work for Nicholas. But nothing that he smurfed satisfied his boss, who was always demanding more and more of him. Edmund and Handy befriended by chance, and my little Smurf realized to smurf him a help; but unfortunately Nicholas saw them together and realized to smurf what he smurfed in order to get fortune at Handy's expense; otherwise, the same way he used to do with Edmund.

Smurfette: Yes, and now poor Handy's exhausted because of him!
Nicholas: You little pests! You'll all pay for this!

Johan (advancing towards Nicholas): Oh, none of that! (Clenching one of his fists) Stay just where you are, not-so-good sir, if you don't want me to give you the same fair treatment you've been already given by Edmund!
Hefty: Let me at him, let me at him!
(Clockwork buzzes menacingly.)

The Good King (standing up): Well, I don't think so! GUARDS! GET THIS IMPOSTOR RIGHT NOW AND PUT HIM IN THE DUNGEON! I’ll have him judged later for all the harm he did to Handy Smurf and Edmund!

*outside the castle*
Edmund: I'm sorry you Smurfs got dragged into this mess.
Smurfette: Don't be sorry, Edmund.
Snappy: Yeah, it's that mean old Nicholas that should be sorry!

Papa Smurf: So, worry no more, Edmund; we all know perfectly who's the true culprit.
(Johan and Peewit go to meet them.)
Peewit: Hi there, friends! Handy Smurf, the Good King is sending you all your blueprints and projects that villain had taken from you. Here we are...
Handy (getting the papers): Thanks, Johan! And please thank the Good King for me.
Johan (to Edmund): Nicholas had also some ideas which in fact belong to you, Edmund; the Good King found all of them pretty good and got quite interested in them. He thinks of sending you to his nephew the young King Gerard, who needs some urgent reforms in his kingdom, wishing new and special machines. How about?

Johan: Good! So you can go there as soon as you can, taking your ideas too. We all are quite sure King Gerard shall appreciate them very much!
Edmund (emotioned): Oh my... All of this is much better than I've ever expected!!
Clockwork (buzzing to Edmund happily*): *"This also means we can meet again, Edmund; since I've been at King Gerard's once in a while!"

Hefty: And what ever smurfed to that nasty Nicholas, Johan?
Johan: You Smurfs and Edmund no longer need to worry about him. He was already judged, sentenced and after this he shall be expelled from the kingdom ever after. He'll never disturb you all again!
Peewit: Yeah, but personally I don't think this is enough for him!

Brainy (nodding in a solemn way): Very well put, Hefty! Very well, indeed!
Papa Smurf: Handy (smiling and showing the inventive Smurf his pencil), I think this belongs to you.
Handy (happy): My pencil!

Edmund (cont.): Someday, I'll be remembered as one of the greatest inventors of all time.
Handy: And we'll come back to see you again. Right?
Edmund: Definitely. Well, best be on my way. Farewell, my friends.
Smurfs: (unison) Goodbye!
Clumsy: Gosh, I'm sure gonna miss Edmund!
Hefty: I mean, he certainly was nice. For an inventor.
Papa Smurf: Well, I guess it goes to show that...
Smurfette: We have to go home, Papa Smurf.
Papa Smurf: (sighs) And there goes my chance of saying the intended lesson.
Brainy: And my usual random lecture at the end.
