      Goku: Grandpa, Grandpa!

      Bulma: Huh?

      [Goku laughs]

      Bulma: You live, in this dump?

      Goku: Grandpa, I brought a girl-person to our house, the kind you talked about.

      [Goku laughs]

      Bulma: Ah! You have a Dragon Ball!

      [Bulma picks up the Dragon Ball]

      Goku: He says hi!

      Bulma: My radar worked! It led me straight to it!

      Goku: Ah, ah! He didn't say you could touch!

      [Goku takes the Dragon Ball away from Bulma]

      Goku: Grandpa's been in this ball he gave me, ever since he had to go away.

      Bulma: Oh that's so sweet. Now you want to see something special?

      Goku: Huh?

      [Bulma reaches inside her bag to pull out two more Dragon Balls]

      Bulma: Ta-da!

      Goku: Ah! No way! You have my grandpa too?

      Bulma: Well, not exactly.

    DragonBall 10th Anniversary Special
    This is just the very best movie that DragonBall has to show. I think that even the DragonBall Z movies arent made as good as this one. Everything is made great in this movie. Im really looking forward to 20th anniversary special.
