Jake narrowed his eyes, wondering whether to tell Ralph to back down nicely or just skip right ahead to beating some sense into him. In fact, it was probably a good thing the group showed up when they did - Jake would have wrecked Ralph had he tried anything.

Upon hearing the truth about King Candy - even if the whole "videogame" thing still made no sense - he gave Ralph a dirty glare. He [i][b]did[/b][/i] understand usurpers, and the dirty tricks Candy/Turbo/Whateverman used made Ralph look like an even bigger sucker for believing them. It made it worse that Ralph apparently knew this Turbo joker before.

He gave Ralph a dope slap (one upside the head) for his blind idiocy, but he got a chuckle out of Josh scolding the big guy.

Still, the idea that he might deliver that two-faced bastard a nice good beating was soothing to Jake.

"Wait, why do we need to take out two racers?" Jake interjected. "Vanellope still has her cart, and only one of us can drive. Besides, the race is Vanellope's fight. I'm pretty sure she can win this on her own. All we need to do is make sure nobody messes with the races. Candy still isn't sure Ralph wrecked Vanellope's cart, and-"

Suddenly a thought occurred to him.

"Say, big guy," he said to Ralph. "Candy gave you the medallion back, right? Did he actually say he got Vanellope removed from the race, or was he just hoping you'd trash the cart? Because... I think we might be able to sneak in a second racer.

"Assuming the 'entry fee' still works right, we can use the medal a second time to enter a new contestant. As for the new car? I don't think Candy thinks we're dumb enough to go make a [i]second[/i] car. Do you?"
