This article is a transcript of the PAW Patrol episode "Rescue Knights: Pups Save a Tournament" from Season 8, which premiered on December 11, 2021 in Canada, and on March 4, 2022 in the United States.
| 00:46 Ryder: | Princess, thanks for inviting us to watch the tournament. We're very excited. |
| 00:50 Princess: | We're thrilled to have you all here. Oh, wouldn't it be fun to use a lance and ride in a tournament? |
| 00:58 Princess: | But tournaments are far too dangerous for a princess. I'll just wait back at the castle till it's over, and then return to present the Golden Gauntlet to the winner. |
| 01:08 Earl: | Excellent idea, Princess. |
| 01:10 Ryder: | Let's go get our seats. |
| 01:12 Chase: | Yeah! |
| 01:12 Skye: | This'll be fun. |
| 01:13 Rocky: | All right! |
| 01:14 Chase: | It's strange that the Princess is scared to watch the tournament. |
| 01:17 Skye: | Yeah, that doesn't seem like her. |
| 01:20 (Music): | ♪ |
| 01:29 Zuma: | Dudes, I'm so psyched to see this. |
| 01:32 Earl: | People of Barkingburg, please welcome our first two competitors, Sir Harold of Hoppingtown and Sir Nigel of Oinkingville. |
| 01:44 Claw: | Now, announce me, too! |
| 01:46 Pups: | What?! |
| 01:47 Earl: | But you're not a knight anymore, you can't take part in the tournament. |
| 01:51 Claw: | The rulebook says anyone who wishes to compete is welcome. |
| 01:56 Sweetie: | Greetings, Barkingburg! Your future tournament winner has arrived! |
| 02:01 (Sound): | (Audience gasping) |
| 02:04 Princess: | I wish... (Clearing throat) (Deep voice:) ...to compete, too. |
| 02:08 Earl: | The more competitors, the better the competition. Good knight, what is your name? |
| 02:13 Princess: | I'll only reveal myself if I win the tournament. |
| 02:17 Claw: | Then I guess we'll never know your name. No one can beat the greatest knight of all, me. |
| 02:23 Sweetie: | Busby, when I win, the people will be so impressed, they'll make me queen! (Laughing) |
| 02:31 (Sound): | (Trumpeting fanfare) |
| 02:32 Earl: | Competitors, please parade around and greet the crowd. |
| 02:37 Chase: | But Claw doesn't have a horse. |
| 02:39 Earl: | A-ha! Sorry, Claw. The rules clearly state competitors must be riding a steed. |
| 02:45 Claw: | But I do have a steed. Sparks! |
| 02:48 Sparks: | (Roaring) |
| 02:50 Sir Harold and Sir Nigel: | A dragon! |
| 02:51 Sweetie: | It'll take more than a dragon to scare me. Now, watch as I show everyone what a royally good rider I am. |

| 03:31 Claw: | Hey! Come back here with my Sparks, you steed-taker! |
| 03:35 Earl: | Ryder, the course is in shambles and Claw's dragon has the palace pup! |
| 03:40 Ryder: | Don't worry. We'll save Sweetie and fix the course. No tournament is too ruined, no your pup knight is too small! |

| 04:49 Skye: | This puppy knight's gotta fly! |
| 04:51 Ryder: | And Rubble. |
| 04:53 (Sound): | (Beeping) |
